thinks when he makes this promise
that it will be easy to keep. Whether
1t Is easy or hard to keep. 1t Is a

They are In love. but they promised
their dead wives not to marry again.
Shall they break or keep this PROMISE

conscience dictates. At the same time
I think 1t Is selfish of dying wives to
extract such promises from their bro

by dying husbands from broken heart

Death of Doctor Emerson

DR.. j. w. S. Emerson who located
here last fall and left in March
died of pneumonia at Goldfield last
Saturday, and was buried at Sho-
shone, Idaho. His downfall is sad
story, beginning with campaign work
when he furnished money in plenty
to go out and secure votes of the
rabble, following with drunken or
gy when he shot his wife, for which
he served time in the penitentiary.
Then he built up good practice in
several places where he lived, but
got drunk sooner or later and had to
leave. After leaving Blackfoot he Sc
cured fine situation at Goldfield, but
got drunk on the strength of the
fine job he was engaged for, and lost
before he began.
He was good physician and a
very bright man, but he had his trou-
bles

As to Sunday Meetings

The subject of Sunday meetings of
The Press Club is under discussion,
and we wish to say that so far as
these meetings are conducted as Soc
events, for purposes of education and
broader Acquaintance, as means of
pleasant recreation to these busy
men who are, to greater extent
than most people, engaged in daily
grind, it is to be commended They
are not as arule, men of wealth who
can employ extra help when it is de-
sirable, and there is personal respon-
sibility attached to their work that
forces them to attend to most of it
personally. Printers are not to be
found and called in every day, and as
week is generally required to do the
work, on a paper, the publisher can
not be away very long and produce
the nxet issue on time. These are
some of the reasons why The Club
gets together on Sunday, and there
is growing tendency towards better,
nicer meetings, to do better, nicer
things at the beginning of the work.
The whole plan of action may not
suit at all, but altogether it is vast
ly better than having none at all,
and the wide awake people who OBJ
serve things are coming to realize
it.

the wives and lady friends of the WIS.,
iting editors, at Mrs. c. A. Hoover's

homes and places of worship offer
acknowledgement to God for His
many blessings, and prayers for the
continuance of His divine favor.
In Witness Whereof, | have here
