COAL STEALING
shcrt lire Officials Determined to
pat Stop to the Business.

In the arrest of William harris
last Saturday the first / gsl step
was taken to put damper on the
coal stealing that has been SO pre-
valent in Shoshore. this winter
Many have presisted in making
coal stcling their business during
The winter months and they have
had ready purchasers.
Following the arrest of Mr. Har-
ris, :. c. Frost was arrested for re-
cciving stolen coal and was fined
$40 and costs, the whele amount
ing to 1885. The hearing of Mr..
Harris came up Tuesday morning
and he pleaded guilty. The court
reserved its judgement until the
following morning at 10 o'clock
and that time sentenced Mr.. Har-
ris to serve three months in the
county Jail and pay fne of $50,
or in default of the latter, to serve
rs days in the county Jail.
While we Go not criticise the
judgement of the curt in this mat
ter, in fact we cannot but harmon
ize with them, still there are many
more that have received stolen
coal that should be nude to suffer
We do not think we are over reach
ing the matter one particle when
we state that there are people in
this town that have used practical
ly nothing but stolen coal all win
ter. Mr.. Frost was, in one way,
un ucky. He has been buying his
coal honestly all winter up to the
time he bArg ined to receive the
load iron Mr.. Harr s, and now,
when he attempts to do VIII It many
others have been doing all winter
without being apprehended he il
takea in the firm clutches of the
law. He resolved justice at the
hands of the courts, however, and
it may prove to he a warning to
mary others
The Short Line is one of the
heaviest taxpay ers in the county |
and their property s..ould be pro-
tectoI as well as any pr vate citi-
zen.

How to XIII a Town

A town that never had anything
to do in a public way is on the way
TO tie cemetery. Any citize who
will do nothing for the town is
helping to dig the grave. A man
that curses tie town furnishes the
coffin. The man who will not adj
yertise is driving The hearse. The
man W ho is always pulling back
from any public enterprise is throw
ing bouquets on the grave. The
man who is so stingy rs to be howl
ing hard timesIpreachcs the funeral
sermon; sing the doxology, and
thus the town lies buried from all
SORROW and all csre.--Exchange.

Goodlng the Best Road.

A. H. Eldridge had a thrilling
experience with the snow last week
which he thinks will last him for
some time to come and no doubt
it will He left HALEY at Z o'clock
Friday morni G with four horses
and an empty sleigh. He found
the roads in frightful condition.
The rang wind the night previ-
Gus had drifted the roads full of
snow and he was unfortunate
enough to be the first person to
travel over them. After much d f.
ffculty he managed to reach Gill
mans ranch, a distance of four
miles, by noon. There he came to
the conclusion that he could not
get through with sleigh, so he
left his sleigh and three horses.
After dinner he started out again
on horse back. bis horse not be-
ing accustomed to the snow found
cred in the drifts and soon wore
himself out. He managed to reach
the sheep shearing corral, five miles
from Gilman's, at nightfall and his
horse was completely tagged. He
stayed there over night and made
up his mind he would make the
venture on snow shoes, He could
not find any snow shoes around
the corral or material to make
pair. Finely he knocked the end
out Of packing crate and made a
pair Of shoes measuring two and
one half feet long by six inches
wide. With these crude and i'm
poyerished weapons he resumed lis
journey Saturday morning with
the high divi e between HALEY
and Soldier ahead of him. st
noon he reached the summit, dis
tan of two miles, and at $50 he
reached Willow creek. Mr.. Ed
ridge says the snow was 30 soft |
that his shoes would not slide and
they sank down into the snow
about six inches and every time he
lifted his feet about six inches of
snow was elev ted with them. Sc
curing a horse at Willow creek Sun
day morning he concluded his
journey. The most difficult part
Of the road was between HALEY
and the summit, after reaching the
prairie there was comparatively
little snow. Mr.. Ell ride is go
lng to preserve his snow shoes as a
relic 1t is a blessing that the
nail is comming from Gooding,
otherwise we might not rece We our
nail for weeks. Cam as, Prairie

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri
 can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri- can Medical Association has become Sc pronounced as to cause comment in political circles especially as the the ayowed purpose of the Doctors of the Regular or Allopathic school, of which the Association is chiefly con- posed. is to secure the passage of such laws as will not only prevent the safe of so-called Patent" medicines, but will restrict the practice of medi- cine and healing to the schools" now recognized. This in many states wo"ld prevent the growing practice of Os- teopathy, and in nearly every state would prevent the headers of the Christian Science and mental science belief from practicing those sciences in which the faith of so many intelli- gent people is 50 firmly rooted.
 The American Medical Association has Committee on Legislation,' and the committee has correspond ents in practically every township - sCme 16,o0o correspondents in all. This committee al the last session of the American Medical Association held in June of this year expressed a hope that a larger number of physi- clans than heretofore will offer them. selves as candidates for Congress at the first opportunity. In it's annual report this Committee said: eTo meet the growing demands of the move ment, however, particularly x tine work of active participation in State legislation is undertaken. larger clerical force must be employed"
 This is almost the first time in the history of the United States that any organized class has frankly avowed the purpose of capturing legislatures and dominating legislation in their owS selfish interests
 The American Medical Association has about 65,o0O members of whom 27 7,000 are fully constituted mem- bers" and the rest are members be- cause of their utilization with state or local societies The Association owns real estate in Chicago valued at $111,- IS1.91 and it's total assets are s291,- 567.S9. Its liabilities. at the time of the annual report which was made at the June meeting, amounted to only s21.9 The excess of assets over liabilities is increasing at the rate of about s30 0000 a year, and the purpose of the organization is to dominate the field of medicine, and by crushing all competitions by securing the pas sage of prohibitive legislation. compeA all of the people of the United States to pay doctors fee every time the most simple remedy is needed.

 of the Chickens.

Be- fore her return a thunderstorm came up. The youngster forgot the chicks during the storm, and was dismayed after it passed to find that half of them had been drowned Though fearing the wrath to come. he thought best to make clean breast of the calamity. rather than leave it to be discovered.
 Mamma" he said. eontritely, when his mother had returned, mamma, six of the chickens are dead
 Dead" cried his mother. Six! How did they die?'
