Mrs. Edward Nugent. Pa ssed to
ths Great Beyond.

II is with extreme sorrow that Nugget
is again called upon 10 record the death
Of one OF Idaho's most loved pioneers.
Mrs. Agnes Nugent, wife Of Hon. Ed
ward Nuseut, for many years me Of
Idaho's leading aud scholarly attorneys,
passed to her final rest, dying at ST.
Alphonsns hospital, Boise, Saturday,
January 5, at shortly after 9 o'clock
p. m. at the age of y years. For more
than three years past the lady had been
a resident OF Boise, attending upon her
husband, hopeless invalid confined in
the hospital, she, for the last two years
taking room in that institution that
she could be almost constantly at his
bedside, tile kindest aud most devoted
of nurses. Nearly always we'll, hearty
and cheerful herself, it did not occur to
her friends that she would be called
away before him.
Deceased, whose maiden name was
Agnes Frost, was born of prominent
family in Baltimore, Christmas, 1854.
She was niece of General Frost, Of
Missouri, distinguished officer in our
war with Mexico, aud cousin of Hon.
Graham Frost, several years ago re-
preventative in congress.
Judge and Mrs. Nugent, married in
Boise, and after brief residence in
Idaho City, removed to this place in
1865, and, with the exception of little
less than two years residence in Boise
during the time he was judge of the
district court, resided here up until the
time the judge was stricken.
Mrs. Nugent is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. A. A. straub, of Con-
nelsville. Penn, and Mrs. Ernest MAY.
of Denver, Colo; and one son, John F.
Nugent Esq, for two terms prosecuting
attorney Of this county, aud now a pro
minent attorney at Boise.
Deceased was one OF the brightest
wittiest aud most charming ladies it has
ever been our pleasure to have known
always cheerful and most delightful
entertainer, and her devotion to anc
care taken other invalid husband shows
another side of her character, distin
gushing her for most noble and lovabl,
qualities.

Infamous Timber Claim Law.

1t is utterly inconceivable that Con-
gress would ever have passed the Tim
ber and Stone Act if it had realized,
thirty odd years ago, therapidity with
which the then existing forests we're to
disappear, and the use to which the act
would be put in transferring to a few
monopolistic hands the greater part of
the t,mbered area The idea then pre-
vailed that the best use to which any
forest could be put was to destroy it;
and Congress deemed that it was doing
a benefcent act in so framing the law
that as many persons as possible should
have chance at the timber. Every
body knows that the "chance'' has been
mainly used by people employed in
thousands 10 locate claims, ostensibly
for their own use, but really for the use
of lumber barons. Yet that infamous
law is still unrepealed-kept on the
statute book by the influence of the
monopolists whose greed is yet insatiate
though the land which they got and are
getting of the government, by fraud,
for $3.50 per acre, is now worth from
$50 to $3.50 per acre and advancing in
value every month.-Maxwell's Tails

'LABORERSP PLAN
A STATE BODY
Project TO Unite as HOd Carrier &
Building lahOrers Protective
Union Of New Jersey.
THIS CITY GREATLY INTERESTED

The Hod Carriers and Laborers'
unions of this state held their con-
vention at Easton, Pa, when the
general labor situation throughout
the state was the main topic of dis
cussion Sunday, and the delegates
from the various locals made reports
of the standing of their organiza-
tions
1t has practically been decided
to unite all the locals throughout
the state into one body, with num-
bered locals in various cities. AT the
present time each union is by itself,
acting independently of the other la
Dor organizations.
AS the situation now stands, a man
belonging to the local laborers' un-
ion applying for position elsewhere
must pay an entrance fee to another
union in the town in which he wish
es to start work. When the unions
in the state have been united in one
body, member may work where he
pleases and his card will be ac-
cepted anywhere. When this is done
the name will be changed to the
Hod Carriers and Building Laborers
Protective Union of New Jersey.
The next convention will be held
January 5, 1908, in Somerville At
this meeting the matter of uniting
the unions of the state will be finally
acted upon. Andrew Petersen and
Peter F. Damn were the local dele
gates Sunday.
