SHOSHONE, and
LINCOLN COUNTY.

What are you willing to do to
help bring such result?
Do you know Mat there $4,000
acres of desert lands now being re-
claimed in Lincoln county?
Are you aware that last week at
the Miner opening 10000 acres of
Lincoln county sage brush land
WAS thrown upon the market and
that every acre was gobbled like
hot cakes of cold day and that
enough money was on deposit to
have purchased $4,000 acres more
had it been for sale?
Do you know what this means
for our county? .t~. -
II means that Lincoln is to be-
come the wealthiest and most pop
ulous county Of Idaho in the next
five yeare, and that Shoshene is To-
Gated in the very center OF this
wonderful inheritance.
Do you think this pipe dream,
Mr. Doubling Thomas?

population of twenty five thousand

on an irrigated area OF 100000
acres in the Boise and Payette
vallcys-less than half the irrigat-
ed area to be IN Lincoln county by
the time the present projects are
mpleted, which means within
the next five years.
There is a city population, alone
in the Boise and Payette valleys Of

Lincoln county have as great a
population capacity, acre for acre,
as has those valleys

part to overcome the consequences
of her youthful folly, but right no.

day of redemption has arrived. To-
day she stands the pride the state.
Suppose she had taken advantage

expended in her redemption had
been utilized in her upbuilding,
what might she not be today?

The idea of the invention Of armor
for the protection of the body from
weapons came from the ancients, who,
noticing the natural armor Of various
kinds of animals, particularly the ar
madillo, initiated 1t. In early times
before metal was used In armor max
ing the warriors used rough hides of
several thicknesses, and the first armor
ever worn was made from slices taken
from the hoofs of horses and fastened
together with pegs. Fish scales and
the scales Of large snakes were also
gathered and fastened together until
they formed thick layer and were
used as armor. The armor of the mid
die ages was a continuation Of the
ancient kind, made In the form Of
scales of iron or steel. Certain kinds
of mail used In early times in England
were copied from the shells Of crabs
and Holsters. Minneapolis Journal.

a GHOST STORY.
The Crowd Of Phantoms That Daxed
Three Young Women.

The Crowd Of Phantoms That Daxed
Three Young Women.
An experience wherein phantoms
presented themselves to view in pro-
digious numbers simultaneously is re-
lated by young lady whose name, at
her request, is withheld. the narrative
being Endorsed by her sister, who was
with her at the time. She writes:
zone autumn night my sister and
myself, with our maid, were returning
from evening service in the village
church. There was a thick fog. The
moon was full, but it made sort Of
steam in the fog instead of shining
brightly. Suddenly 1 saw man at
my sisters side, who had come there
without making sound. pulled her
sleeve, whispering, Let the man pass
AS spoke the man disappeared.
'In another moment we were all be-
wildered at the sight around us. It
was as II we were in crowded street,
innumerable figures surrounding us.
Men, women and children were NOV
ing briskly about, some singly, others
in groups, but all without sound.
Some seemed to rise out of the grass
on either side of us and to come out on
the other side. The women were
dressed in bygone fashion, with high
bonnets and shawIs and large fiounces
on their dresses.
There was one very tall man who
took great strides, though perfectly
motionless. We approached our own
gate, where we should turn in, and
then we had long driveway to walk
up before we could reach the house. I
think that by the time we had reached
the gate all the figures had disappear
ed except this one tall man. He had
quite different look from any of the
others-more horrible altogether. AS
we entered our gate, to our intense re-
lief, he passed by along the road and
vanished. OF course we were all very
frightened. The maid and my sister
were crying aloud"
In case like this, where the same
spectral phenomena are witnessed by
several persons, the value Of the testi-
mony obviously is multiplied hun
dredfold, for, while one individual may
be victim of halluctnation, such an
Illusion can hardly be shared by many.
What, then. is to be said In answer to
such evidence, furnished by Opponents
Of unimpeachable character and repu-
tation for truthfulness? To suppose
that they are combining In the manu-
facture Of lie is scarcely reasonable.

A Mysterious Roominq.

A strange phenomenon is that Of the
SO called gums of Burrisaul," in In
dia Burrisaul is a station in the Sun
derbunds, the marshy delta Of the
Ganges, a region covered with vast
and luxuriant jungle Of tropic vegeta-
ton Here in the rainy season there
is occasionally heard a loud, booming
noise like the discharge of distant ar
tillery. 1t seems to come from the
south, but If one follows the sound In
that direction its apparent distance
does not diminish. Travellers have
suggested that it may be produced by
the heavy surf of the monsoon season
laundering on the shores of the bay of
Bengal or on an island, but the place
of it's origin has never been identified,
nor has it been explained why the
roar of the waves should be heard SO
much farther inland here than on
other coasts.

Burial of Sir John Moore.

The city Of Corunna, where Sir John
Moore was killed, is seaport at the
entrance to the estuary of the Nero
river, 315 miles northwest of Madrid.
The famous poem by Charles Wolfe
is a Misrepresentation of the scene of
the burial. for Moore was not buried
at night with "our lanterns dimly
burning" but in the early morning of a
rainy day, and the assemblage of Eng
fish officers round the grave was dis
persed by heavy artillery fire from the
French batteries, the gunners mistak-
ing the purpose of the gathering.

Pale People Made Ruddy By Rydale's
Tonic.

Pale people are pale because the blood is de-
ficient in quantity or poor in quality or both.
This impoverished condition of the blood is
almost invariably caused by some wasting disease.
This cause may be chronic disease such as
dyspepsia, consumption, malaria, &C., or it may
be the result of an acute disease such as fever &C.
1t matters not what cause produces this i'm
poverished condition of the blood. Rydale's
Tonic will restore it to its normal state and bring
back the hue of health to the pale cheek.
Rydale's Tonic is put up in soc. and s1.OO sizes.

QUESTIONING CANDIDATES.
Anti-Saloon League Asks Attitude
OF. Legislative Nominees.

MARYLAND LEAGUE PROPOSES TO PUB
LIsH REPLIES OF CANDIDATES FOR
INFORMATION OF VOTERS.
The Anti-Saloon League of Maryland
proposes to allow every county in Mary
land to become "dry," if its voters SC
desire. Ter counties are already free
from saloons, and two others have saloons
in only one place, while in many portions
of still others no licenses may be issued.
The League proposes to have intro
duced in the next legislature bill that
will allow the remaining counties, OF
parts of same, to vote directly upon the
question whether their saloons shall or
shall not be closed, whenever rs per cent
of the voters shall petition for vote.
The League says that it is right which
belongs to the people and is not asked as
a favor, and that the people have right
to know whether the men who are seek
ing to go the legislature will support this
kind of proposition, and, with that in
view, has sent letter to every candidate
for both Houses of the legislature asking
them the following questions
I. Do you believe that the other
counties or divisions of the same. and
cities or portions of cities. should also. be
allowed to determine by vote whether
their saloons shall be closed?
2. Will you support and vote for a
measure which gives the people of these
counties, or portions of same, and cities
or parts of cities, the right to vote upon
the question of closing SALOONS, and
makes such vote effective and binding
The Superintendent of the League, Mr..
William H. Anderson, has announced
that when the replies are in, he will send

ious church committees, bulletin show

ply has been received, that fact will be
