home from the hospital on Saturday. Mr..

detect from his looks that he went through
an amputation. He has ordered an arti-

siderable use of the right arm and hand
after he becomes accustomed to the new
order Of things. Sufficient bone and
muscle are left below the wrist to help
out considerably.

the automatic works Of the original sys-

very beautiful and substantial case last
Thursday and installed it in the home Of
a patron. IF the instrument proves to be
as successful as anticipated, more will be
procured, Both Mr.. Chase and Mr..
Ferris claim that the automatic instruments
are far superior to the ordinary ones but
on account Of exposed wires connecting
with the works, there is more liability for
trouble. The new case now being tried
overcomes this difficulty.

ANTI.DUBOS DELEGATES
THROWN OUT AT DENVER
Mormon Fighters From Idaho Declared the Only
Original and Properly Branded Democrats
Given Seats in National Convention.

The fate of the anti-Dubois
Democrats from Idaho was
sealed yesterday by the action
of the national committee,
when it accepted and approved
the report Of the subcommittee
giving the seats for Idaho to
Senator Dubois and his adher-
ents. The Mormon question
itself was not considered by the
committee and the Dubois dele
cation was seated simply be-
cause it had the only regular
credentials to show. Up to the
present time the rather limited
press reports of the proceedings
of the committee do not show
that the Perky-Martin- Hawley
group, Of which Lamberton and
Garrett of Mountain Home
were members, made any par
ticular showing before that
body and indeed it is difficult
to conceive how they could
with the facts and customs of
the party SO squarely against
them.
And now comes the interest
ing question, and doubly inter-
esting to Elmore county demo-
Gratis: what is a democrat?"
Indeed, it is hard to tell. "Must
we follow this fire-eating Nor
mon-destroyer leader in order
to belong to the party" they
ask. The National Committee
has said it. Follow they must
or be consigned forever to out
er darkness. 1t is indeed a hard
choice for Elmore county dem
ocrats, if in fact they have any
chance left to choose. Once
their leaders have chosen for

HE STILL GETS HIS POWER.
Mountain Home Editor Would Not
Be Shut Out by Company.

An interesting case was heard
Saturday here in Shoshone by
Judge Walters of the district
court,
While court was in session in
Twin Falls, Attorney Owen of
Mountain Home appeared to
ask for an injunction to prevent
the Mountain Home Electric
company from cutting off the
electric power from his client,
w. w. Culver. The Judge
granted a temporary order and
set the date for hearing for
Saturday. Attorneys Haga and
Owen appeared with Mr. Culver.
The company made no defense,
so the injunction was made per-
manent.
The case, as the Journal un-
derstands it, brings up a vital
point in municipal honesty and
policy. Mountain Home, as is
we'll known, is in the arid Snake
river valley, depending on irri-
cation to make crops. It is sur
rounded by as fine a body of
land as there is in the vest
provided enough water can be
had. A reservoir system has
been built in the adjacent

sold. There has been much
gossip as to the suficiency Of
the water supply for all the
water rights sold: The projects

encourage a ficticious boom in
questionable rights, which in
the end might leave them all
stranded, or get in early, tell
the truth, and prosper a little
slower, but surely, as they must
do with the resources they know
they have. Mr.. Culver of the
Mountain Home Republican has
started in to tell the whole
truth, however unpalatable it
may be, He met with some VII
olent opposition; among other
things, his three-year contract
for power was cut off. He came

NORELL GOES

The following from one of
