MADNESS OR DEATH.
The Inevitable Fate That Awaits the
Absinth Tippler.

Apslnth TipPler.
What is absinth? 1t is prepared by
pounding the leaves and Towering tops
of various species of wormwood, star
anise root, sweethag root, leaves Of
dittany and other aromatic plants and
stepping them in alcohol After eight
or ten days the mixture is distilled,
md oil of aniseed or some similar es-
sential oil is added This is the method
Of producing the genuine absinth, but
1t varies usually in the direction of
thcapening production and increasing
profits. Poisonous wood alcohol is
used for macerating the vegetable in
gradients, and inferior and often in
furious herbs are employed. These do
not always produce the much desired
Sreenish opalescence, and turmerc, in
digo, sulDhate of copper and other col
oring matters are employed. The con-
sequences Of regularly drinking even
carefully prepared absinth are in the
end ruinous to mind and body. The
main difference between the various
qualities Of the liquor is the rapidity
with which deleterious effects are pro-
duced. A man can go OH drinking the
better qualities little longer before
he becomes mental and physical
wreck: that is all. And, whether one
drinks to excess or only takes Il reg
ular daily dose, the end is the same
The sequence Of events and their du-
ration only are different. In the first
case the large doses of the liquor nee
essary to produce any effect speedily
render the victim unable to eat food
He is tortured by an unquenchable
thirst. Authorizations speedily follow,
and the grave or the madhouse is the
inevitable end. The absinth tippler
goes to ruin down an easier slope. His
earliest symptoms are loss of weight
and strength, followed by the develop
mcnt Of muscular tWitchings and
tottering gait, somewhat similar to
Mat of locomotor ataxia. Then hallu-
cinations set in, accompanied by grad
ually spreading paralysis, which ends
in death. If a person is regular daily
drinker Of absinth, whether he drinks
to excess or only tipples moderately,
ruin of the nervous system, followed
by madness or death, is absolutely GER
tain.-Exchange.

MRS. I0NGFELL0W NAMED
AS Mr.. TURNER'S SUCCESSOR

The uncertainty and mystery sur
rounding the local postoffice situa-
ton was dispelled Tuesday morn
ing, when d Washington dispatch
in the Boise Statesman conveyed
the information that the senate had
confirmed the appointment of Mrs.
Millie E. Longfellow Viewed
from purely political standpoint,
it is difficult to see how Congress-
man French or Senator Hepburn
could have ignored her application,
as her long connection with the Re-
publican, a loyal party organ, GER
tatinly entities her to whatever pie
is to be had at the political counter.
Personally speaking, there is al
ways wide divergence of public
opinion in such matters, and it is
safe to say that the postmaster or
postmistress as yet to be porn who
would satisfy everybody. Personal
friendships AMI animosities enter
unavoidably into such affairs, anc
about the only thing the incumbent
can do is to tend strictly to Uncle
Sans business, treat everybody i'm
partially and let time, the magic
healer, do the rest. The writer il
not sufficiently we'll acquainte,
with Mrs. Longfellow to extol he

False Alarm.

To test the efficiency Of the rum
ming team of the fire department,
an outnouse near the Poole home
in the south part Of town was
filled with dry hay and set afire
on Monday evening about six
O'Clock. The man who started the
fire then ran to the Dudley resi-
dence to turn in an alarm, but
could not gain entracre, and had
to un no to tie Garrett home,
from whence the warning was
given. The bell Immediately rang
and, regardless of the sea of mud,
the fire fighters pulled the chemi-
cal engine to the scene Of the fire
in less than five minutes and extin-
guished the blaze, which was roar
ing right merrily, before even all
the hay was destroyed. Chief
Keller feels confident that if the
department can reach any fire with
in five minutes, the progress Of the
fiery element can be checked, as
plenty of hose is now on hand tc
reach any room in any building in

my Wlfe's Family"

my Wife's Family is the title
of merry musical mix-up, written
by Stephens and Linton, which
comes to the Garrett opera house
Saturday, February g. This farce
comedy is interspcrsed with clever
specialtics of the singing and
dancing variety, but it is the clever
ness with which the authors have
handled the much abused mother
in-lsw proposition that has won for
''My Wife's Family the recogni-
tion which it has gained throughout
its route. The story tells of the
manner in which a young man s
relatives by marriage Saddle
themselves upon his household
and his efforts, with the assist
ance of a friend, to rid himself O
/ the Naggs, as the horde is appro
pt lately named. The husband, il
his desperation, resorts to practical
ly everything except murder, anC
there is a new and laughable situa
tion every minute.

A new INDUSTRY
FOR FLMORf COUNTY
Anqora Goats and Spanish Mich Goats to
be Extensively Bred at Little
CamdS.

Scion Mccoy, the veteran ranch
man of Little Camas was in town
this week and made Maverick
pleasant social and business call.
His principal errand was to secure
four registered Angora goats pur-
chased from the Northern Angora
Goat and Live Stock Association of
Helena, Mont, which had been in
Aug. Kunnccke's care for a couple
of weeks. The addition of these
four aristocratic animals gives Mr..
Mccoy a herd Of twcncty-nine
goats, of which he is justly proud
and about the future possibilities
of which he is very confident.
He says they are very prolific and
exceptionally hardy, enduring with
comparative comfort climatic con-
ditions disastrous to sheep, anc
that they find food where thcir
woody relatives would starve tc
death. Mr.. Mccoy says that gooc
many jokes were passed arounc
among his neighbors when the goat:
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1907-01-31

first made their appearance on his
ranch, but that now they have come
to see the wisdom of his venture.
Mohair brings a good price in the
market at any time because of the
extensive use made of it CONNER
cially. Goat milk, for hospital
purposes and for the feeding of in
fants is in constant and growing
demand because of its medicinal
and flesh-giving qualities, and Mr..
Mccoy feels confident that in de-
vcloping the possibilities of the
Spanish milch goat he is simply
laying the foundation of a business
that will return maximum OF
profit on an investment requiring
small capital and scarcely any
trouble. He has passed beyond the
experimental stage, and his efforts
are being closely watched by others
and he may yet enjoy the satisfac.
tion of being a pioneer in the es'
tablishmcnt of an important ano
profitable industry.

Memorial Service.

Rev. Mason conducted a simple
put beautifully impressive service
at the Congregational church Sun
day morning in memory of little
seventeen-monthso old Hannah Grace
Bjornson, who died recently of
diphtheria, and over whose remains
it was deemed inadvisable to have
funeral services at the time of inter-
ment. The platform was adorned
with flowers, male quartette sang
an appropriate selection and Rev.
Mason spoke very sweetly and ten
derly on a subject which, though il
is sad even unto heartrending, yet
is one which affects us all, and the
solemnity of which can not be toe
strongly emphasized.

Educationally, Idaho is admirably
appointed. The school laws are in
every way modern. The state is
but 1s years of age, and every pro-
vision has been intelligently made
by disinterested officials.
The superintendent of public in
struction, Miss Belle Chamberlain,
has a salary of $4,000, which puts TO
shame many of the older states in
the union, and she is honored with
tunities.
There are in Idaho II, 900, 900
acres of agricultural lands, 20, 600,
600 acres of grazing lands, 20, 600, =
600 acres of timber, and 5000, 600
of mineral lands. The classified
tion of grazing and agricultural
lands was made before the provision
of national aid to irrigation.
The State University of Idaho at
Moscow has 286, 500 acres of public
lands. The normal schools at Lew
iston and Albion have so, 900 acres
each. The academy of Idaho al
Pocatello has 10000, and the in
dustrial school at St. Anthony 40,
600 acres. These are special grants,
and in addition the state has, fol
various school purposes, two Sec
tions in every township.
The salaries are high from the
standpoint of the east, but the liv
ing is high, and all travelling is ex
pensive. Rural teachers, as ;
rule, receive sos month. AL
towns of any considerable size arr
independent districts with exper
supervision. The county superin
tendents are professional in spiri
and training, and are devoted Il
their work. They are local educa
tiona1 leaders.
In the opening sentence Idah'
was styled the Iowa of the inter
mountain region. This was NJ
mere rhetorical phrase. Incident
ally it may be said that the stat
association an eighth of the teach
ers were from Iowa and nearly one
: half were from east of the Mississ
ippi, including Iowa and Missouri
which border on the Father {
Waters.

CREATION OF new
STATE OF LINCOLN
Planned by Spokane Business Men: Con-
vention to be Held in That
City in March.

Tclegraphic dispatches to the
Boise Statesman state that the hold
ing OF a convention in Spokane in
March to discuss the plan of the
new state of Lincoln is definitely
proposed by F. H. Mason and c. H.
Moore, very prominent business
men, who ask that the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce issue call
to all commercial bodies. The plan
contemplates extending the south
boundary of Washington through
Idaho, thus constituting the south
boundary of the new state. Mon
tans would be the east boundary,
British Columbia the north boun-
dairy, and the west, instead of be-
ing the Cascade mountains should
be an extension of the east boundary
of California, the 10th parallel of
latitude. This would leave Wenat-
chee and North Yakima and Ellens-
burg in the state of Washington, oi
which Olympia is the capital.
Possible opposition from Idaho to
the proposed plan will be met BY
extending the present Idaho boun.
dairy west to meet the same paral,
lei that now constitutes the cas-
boundary of California, thus al
that portion of the present state o
Oregon bounded on the south b,
Nevada would be added to Idaho
Idaho would gain more territor,
than she loses and be more sym
metrical. No opposition is antici
patcd from south Idaho on the pro
posed basis as il would gain sue
cities as Baker, La Grande an
Pcndleton.
Oregon and Washington would b
the only states to suffer serious los
of territory and opposition from th
west part of each of these state
would have to be overcome by tn
] promoters of the state of Lincoln.
