THE XMAS STORE"

Nachman & Meertief Have Few sug- Resti0ns to Onef About
 Gift-Giving.

Nachman & Meertief give good ad- vice when they caution us to think hard about this gift business, lest In our haste we forgot some one that should be remembered. It's decidedly annoying, not to say embarrassing, 10 find after Christmas that some one has been carelessly overlooked, forgot.en, so it behooyes us to think hard. that we may give a present to aii whom we should remember.
 And Nachman & Meertfef also remind us that theirs is The Xmas store; tne store pre-em;nent for practical and sat- isfactory gifts; that it is the store where the stocks are all arranged for quick and comfortable choosins-a good shop to hurry to and to hurry in.

 way to accomplish the purpose men tioned in the latter part of your reso- lutfon. r
 The last Congress passed what is called the Humphreys bill. which is now the law. It requires that the coi- fector of internal revenue shall place an keep Nconsptcuously In hts once for public inspection an alphabettcai list of persons who have paid speciai taxes within his district apd shall state thereon the time, place. and business
 for which such special taxes have been paid, and upon application furnish to any prosecuting onicer certhieo copy thereof, upon the payment or VI fee. etc. I believe that with this law and the strong public sentiment wnicn obtains in Alabama. 1t will impossioie for the blind tigers to flourish. :.

the Office

In recent Issue of the Scimitar,
Dubois paper, two columns were
devoted TO showing show the Nor
mons are hogging the offices in Bear
Lake county, When we consider
that this county has population Of
about II, 900, only about 100 Of
which are Gentlles, it is shame to
think that the latter are given so
few Of the offices. The Scinltar
laid great stress upon the fact that
every postmaster in the county is a
Mormon. Wonder if the author of
that article knew that with the ex
ception of Montpelier and possibly
Paris. there isn't Gentle residing
in any settlement IN the county?
The Scimitar would probably like
TO have the Postal Department inn
port Gentiles into Fish Haven,
Bloomington, Paris, Ovid, Benning-
ton, Georgetown and uth.r settle
lnents of the county for the express
purpose of serving as postmasters.

tired out, go home. When you want
consolation, go home. When you want

ers of the daily paper there were al

manager of the Natatorium was ar
rested for permitting people to battle.
in the plunge on Sunday. He has
taken the case into court to deter
mine whether or not people are to
be permitted TO battle on Sunday.
If the Sunday rest advocates insist
on drawing the line so closely they
are going to make the law an odious
one and the people will demand its
repeal by the next legislature. A
Sunday rest law is all right, if drawn
along consistent lines, but the peo-
pie of Idaho are 70. ready to adopt
the old "blue laws" of the Puritan
fathers, aud If the Sunday rest
cranks attempt to go to the extreme
in the enforcement of the present
law, the people will become dis
gusted with it and its repeal will
follow.

CONVICT TESTIFIES
WALLER ON STAND IN sHIPP CASE.
A Conversation Between Another Pris- oner and the Jnilor Was Chief Matter Brought out in His
 Evidence.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 12.-Arthur Waller was the star witness today in the case of contempt Of the United States Supreme Court against Sheriff J. F. shipp. Waller killed Dr. Penal sqn in this county and is serving term of two years at Brushy Noun tain mines for voluntary manslaughter. He was brought to Chattanooga for the purpose of testifying in this case.
 If the rumors preceding the testi- mony of waller are correct, the gov ernment did not prove all that they hoped to by him. It was rumored and published in the papers that the att torneys hoped to bring out the fact that there was a conspiracy between some of the deputies and members of the mob to arrange matters so that they could easily get at Ed. Johnson. However. Waller could tell nothing about the arrangements on the floor where the negro was confined, nor coud he identify any of the mob. though he heard voices and saw fg- ures of the men composing 1t.
 A conversation, which Is alleged to have taken place between George Brown. who was day jailer at the coun- ty jail when he lynching of Johnson occurred, and John Roach, who is now serving a term at Brusny Mountain on a charge of obtaining money under fa,se pretense, was the chief matter brought out in his testimony. Waller testified that, either on the afternoon of the lynching or the day preceding Roach had asked Captain Brown at the entrance to the floor which they were occupying whether Ed. Johnson was to be lynched . that night, and that Brown replied: T don't know. but it looks pretty warm outside" Waller also stated that Harry Fitz- simmons, who was in jail at that time on the charge of murder, had been occupying cell on the floor where Johnson was confined and that FitZ- simons had been removed to the lower floor several times.
 John Roach was brought into the testimony throughout. It developed that Roach. who is said to be the sharpest sort of a fellow, was cherish | ing hopes of getting his freedom. and that while the two were confined In the Jail at Knoxville awaiting the rul- | ing of the Supreme Court on their cases, Roach had sent for District At | torney J. R. Penland and had told | him about the conversation with Jail or Brown. MT. Penland did not talk | with Waller at that time, but later went to Brushy Mountain to see him and at that time secured a written statement Waller admlted that hC knew Roach had been rendered in famous by the crime that he had com mitred and so could not testify, anC | he also knew that if the alleged conver sation was to be repeated in court ht himself would have to do 1t. Though Roach had hoped to get out, Waller stated that he had no expectancy o1 freedom or any othe- reward for test
 flying in the case
 A number of other witnesses wert
 examined but .Ittle evidence of con
 sequence was adduced.
 In asking for adjournment until to
 morrow, MT. Penland stated that ther'
 would be three more witnesses fol
 the government and that he would
 finish with them tomorrow morning.
