Inland Crackers.

A. W. Allen, the genial represent
ative of the Inland Cracker Co. the
Spokane company that puts those fine
crackers in the bright red boxes,w was in
Troy few days ago. He said the In
land crackers were growing in demand,
and since this company is not in the
trust, they ought to. When you buy
crackers insist on getting the red
boxes. Patronize a company that had
sufficient backbone to fight the cracker
trust to a finish and win. And besides
you get full weight and the best crack
er on the market.

Taxes In Latah.'

1t is rather remarkable to compare
facts with the fiction that the recent
tax reformers peddled over Latah
county. One would emagine that no
other county in Idaho was so cursed.
But what is the real condition? w.
M. Duthie, resident of Troy, has a
timber claim in Nez Perce county.
His tax this year is $38. D. M. Eek
man $25.28; Miss Alta Cole $2o; T.
]. Cooper SIS. All these are in Nez
Perce county on quarter sections of
timber land, valued around $4,000.
Now take the same class OF property in
Latah county and compare taxes. P.
L. Orcutt has two million foot claim
just over the Nez Perce line in Latah
county. The tax is not quite $14.
This is about the figure for timber
claims in Latah county, or less than
half the tax in the adjoining county.
The same ratio is found in other lines
Of property, showing that the people Of
Latah county have little kick COM
ing, so far as the officials of this county
are concerned. Let US use some sense.

Bank vs. Holes in the Ground.

Reports from those who have no
faith in banks" are coming in. One
buried his roll Of bills in a ten-acre lot
and is now busy blowing up his land
in the forlorn hope of finding it
Another hid his savings of lifetime in
an old shoe. His wife gave the shoe
to tramp, and now certain tramp is
much sought after by very disconso-
solate individual. A Tacoma man
withdrew 5000 from a bank and hid
the money in his house. The house
burned and the man who had no faith
in banks" is now panning the ruins in
order to secure some remnants of his
fortune. A man in Chicago placed hi:
savings in canister, and now he j:
looking for the canister. Other instan-
ces Of misplaced confidence in hid
ing places could be narrated, but those
already mentioned are sufficient Il
point the moral and adorn the tale o
self-inhicted disasters. .-Centralia News

Likes New Location.

Roy Decker, now homesteading in
the Quincy country, returned to Troy
Saturday morning. He says the coun-
try where he and other Troyites are
located is fast coming to the front.
This year the crop was a fine one, and
the price of wheat was about ten cents
bushel above the quotations in this
section. Improved land is now worth
about as much as it is in the Potlatch,
and that in comparatively new coun.
try, until recently considered worthless.
The sage brush is easily removed and
the soil easily cultivated. The Mil
waukee is now building through that
section, being but four miles from Mr..
Decker's to a station. Water will be
easily obtained, those who have dug
getting plenty at depth Of rs feet.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds IS

less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough

The Adams Jury Discharged.

The North Idaho Review, published
q, the new town Of Vollmer, says:
The Jury in the Adams case dis
agreed and was discharged after there
was no longer prospect OF coming to
an agreement. The jury stood eight
for aouittal and four for conviction. A
conclusion not far amiss can be drawn
from this as to how the other murder
cases in Idaho will go. We tried to
been tab on the evidence and from
Snch as we were able to CLEAN it is
bevond our comprehension how jury
of twelve rational men could hang on
the evidence produced. 1t seems to
us that the preponderance of evidence
went to show that he committed the
crime for which he was tried. If he
committed the crime he should suffer
the penalty. The fact that he may
have belonged to the Federation al
that time or he does belong now,
should have no bearing upon the
matter whatever. If we have reached
a stage where men can go and COM
NIT willful murder and there can moi
be found twelve men in our common
wealth to convict them with all the
evidence you may lay before them
then it is time for us to throw down al
laws Of restraint, give to every man ;
gun and let him look well after his
own being. When we behold the
laxity Of enforcing our laws and thu
accursed practice of set of unscru
pulous attorneys endeavoring to defea
the intent Of the law by battling owe
mere technical points, when we SCI
they no longer seek after justice, W
tramble for the future Of our peopl.

ROADS OF EsCAMBIA.
RepresentativN Henley Will EndeavOr
 tn Amend Law.

Brewton, June 23-(SpeciaL)-Rep resentative J. H. Henley will introduce a bill in the Legislature. at the re-coa- vening of the adjourned session, to amend the present road laws of Els cambia county by knocking out the S1 per day now to be paid in lieu of work and making it compulsory for each man to work himself when warn ed out, or send a substitute.
 The proposed amendment is meeting with general favor in view of the bad condition of the public roads and tho inability of overseers to procure la borers at $1 per day, now being paid in by road hands in preference to work.
 MT. Henley states that when the Legislature re-convenes there will only remain thirteen working days of the session of fifty days, and he Is strongly of the opinion that the gov ernor will call an extraordinary ses- sion immediately after the close of the present one, and in view of the large amount of business to be transacted yet the law makers will probably be in session all summer.

WANT NO FENCE LAW.
Farmers of I.tmestOne County Circu- IatfnE Petition.

Athens, Ala. June 23.-(Special.)- Since the government has begun the work of quarantining the cattle of this county and so many farmers have had to pen their cattle and keep them off the commons, it has aroused a very gen. eral desire for a mo fence" law and petitions are being largely circulated throughout this county and are being very generally signed asking that the representatives and senator from this county get bill passed for the pur- pose of forcing the people of the county to keep their stock up.
 Farmers with large farms, surround ed by small farmers or tenants, have to keep up hundreds of dollars worth of fence against their neighbors stock. It is costing thousands of dollars to keep fence against roaming cattle in this county. and the fact that 1t is so easy since the quarantine officers have been riding this county to keep all catle o 1.-the public commons that 1t has aroused a desire among the people, es- pecially land owners. to get this no fence law.
