OBITUARY.

Walter Daniel Blackburn was born
in Golaid Co., Texas, Nov. %. 1868,
and died in Rapides parish, La, Oct.
z, 1907.
The deceased was raised amid high
moral surroundings, and ut an early
aye felt the need of Savior. When
lS years old he sought and found
the Lord and joined the NJ. K. church
South. On the 10Th OF December,
1889, he was married to Miss Gladys
Bun, at Deport, Texas, who stood
nobly by him in beHring the burdens
of life, but is now almost crushed to
find the strong arm to which she
chung snatched away. To this union
were born five children, who are left
weeping with two sisters, five broth
ers, and his mother; but they weep
not as those who have no hope. He
WAS willing to go, and whep he knew
it was the will Of the Father to take
him, his only anxiety was that his
loved ones prepare to meet him at
the foot of the great white throne,
their to JOIN in the mighty chorus of
praise that rises from the redeemed
host, who have washed their robes
and made them white in the blood Of
the Lamb. He spoke few words Of
loving exhortati0n to each OF the
family. and prayed aloud to God
that they all might come to the Sa-
vior and meet him in glory.
Dear Walter, We bid you farewell
for u little while. then ''by the grace
of God We meet you on Cana:sn's
happy shore" where sickness, sorrow
and bereavement cannot come.
The body was buried at the family
cemetery, known as the Kemp grave
ward, and as it Was not convenient
for a minister toattend. Brother j. j.
Malone. n lay member of the N. P.
church. performed the sad rites at
the grave.

Two More Boarders.

1t seems as though Nampa and En-
NETT vie with each other in furnish
ing prisoners for the county jail.
Saturday the sheriff's office was noti-
fed from Emmett that there was a
prisoner awaiting transportation. He
had ben convicted of assault and
was fined, but not having the cash to
liquidate the sum of $500, he was
sent to jail to rest up at $2.00 per
day. until paid. Monday, word was
received from Nampa that another
fellow had been cinched, in this case
DIT proved to be a free American of
African descent. He was convicted
of grand larceny, and was given 70
days in the county Jail. 1t apears

he broke his parole the sentence was
executed. The jail now contains
three inmates, two from Nampa and
one from Emmett.

Miller Amounted.

The council meeting Monday night
was devoid of excitement, therebe-
ing no bills to pass on, or minutes to
read, the council got down to bust
ness much quicker than usual. The
first in order was the approving of
bonds of some of the officers. This
being attended to the petitions of a
number of citizens of the Second
ward asking for the appointment of
N. S. Miller to fill the vacancy of
councilman was read. The petition was
granted and Mr.. Miller was appointed
confirmed and sworn in, in less than
10 minutes time, and was ready to
take part in the proceedings. The
present council Is evidently under
the impression that their predeces-
sors presented them with lemon of
unusual size, when they closed the
contract for the city hall. 1t develops
| now that it will cost more than half
as much more to build bridge across
Indian creek in front of the new
building than will be necessary to
complete the city building. Engin-
er Ross submitted plans for a
concrete and iron bridge that will
cost in the neighborhood of $1,000,
that estimate practically meaning
$4,000 before 1t is completed. The
question which is staring the council
is that of raising the money. The
only resource left is to bond the city
for the necessary amount. This city
hall business is liable to prove an ex-
pensive luxury before the building is
ready for occupancy. It was agreed
to thrash the matter out at meet
ing to be held next Monday night.
The nomination of Mr.. Harthrong
as superintendent of the
water works was rejected by vote
of 3 to 1. Nothing was done regard
ing the appointment Of sexton for
the cemetery. The council then adj
journed to meet next Monday night
at which time definite steps will be
taken regarding the city hall bridge.

CHILDREN TORTURED.

l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so we'll pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti-

with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We useS
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

An Italian, whose name is of no con

of one of the three highest peaks OF
the Mont Blanc range, called the
Dame Anglaises. This peak is 11,4OO
feet high, and the last 1000 feet OF
the ascent was over a smooth and
practically perpendicular rock. 1t re.
quired IL hours to make it, and when
done the man of misdirected energy

achieved fame. But, after all, what
sort Of fame is it? The man had risk.

be able to say he had climbed to a

the LAY OF THE HEN.
Six Hundred Eggs Are Due from .
Small Fowl.

How many eggs is hen wound up
to lay during the term Of her natural
life, do you suppose?"- said the man
who has Investigated. mo idea, eh?
Well, sir, good, healthy hen-not
speaking of any particular breed, but
Just hen-a good, healthy hen does not
fulfill her destiny until she has turned
out 600 eggs-fifty dozen. That's what
Nature has fitted hen to do in the
way of eggs, and she gives her eight
years to do it in," says writer in
Browning's Magazine. !
THE first year of her egg-produc-
ing life hen lays only 20 eggs, but in
the three succeeding years she rolls
up the score of $40. This leaves only
230 that she must give that many
cackles for in the remaining years
that she must stand on duty in that
line, and she divides the task among
those four years so that in the eighth
year she lays only 20 eggs again-the
number she started in with. Then she
has ended her career as an egg pro-
ducer, and too often, If she is in the
hands of a thrifty owner, begins an
other career, short and delusive-this
time as the summer-boarder spring
chicken.
"And speaking of eggs, there is lot
about them, familiar as they are to ev.
erybody, that people don't suspect.
Now, here's an egg that would be a
rooster if it was Matched. Wrinkled
eggs hold roosters in embryo. A pro.
