IN DAYS OF OLD
Newspaper That Contains Account of
WashIngton's Death.

NNtN@AAAAAAaNNfAN
Mrs. c. v. Caldwell, who resides
across the river from the city on
farm, Is the possessor of number of
old books and periodicals. Among
their number is an original copy Of
a weekly publication bearing the
date of January 4. 1900, and pub
lished by Freer & Son, in Ulster
county, New York.
The paper is a fouT-page publica-
ton, Is printed in the ancient style
Of type then in use, and is yellow
with age. II contains an account Of
the death OF George Washington, who
had died few days prior to the
issuance OF the paper, and the pro-
ceedings and eulogies had in the
halls of the United States congress
in commemoration of the occasion.
The eulogies contained In IT are by
men who stood high at the time in
the esteem and honor of the whole
nation, and in the Miltonic language
more or less prevalent in that age.
their authors portray the virtues
and glorious achievements OF the IL
lustrious dead. In the editorial col
umn is an account praising and ex-
tolling the great general, statesman,
and first president OF the American
nation, for HIS great services to his
country in severing the bonds OF serv-
itude that bound them to Great Brit
ain and making 1t free nation whose
constitution and laws guaranteed to
every citizen independence in politi-
cal, social and religious thought, ex-
preston and action. All the articles
In the paper are severe in denuncia-
ton and condemnation of the OPP
preston, tyranny and servitude. and
haust themselves in eulogy of lib
erty and freedom, and in strange and
striking contrast to 1t all, is an ad-
vertisement appearing on the last
page of the publication. This entire
page is devoted to advertisements of
various kinds, and among them oc-
cupying a central position is the fol-
lowing:
For sale-The one half OF a saw
mill, with a convenient place for
building, lying in the town OF Ro-
chester, and also a stout. healthy,
active negro wench."
Among the advertisements are to
be found the names OF products
which still continue to be manu-
featured and placed on the market
under the same name then used.
The paper was presented to Mrs.
Caldwell by a friend. 10 years ago,
whose ancestors had preserved the
copy down through the years gone
by, and she prizes 1t very highly.

action along the lines of the princi-
pies in which they believe. Ask

Among other provisions Of the new
primary law in Washington is one TO
make II unlawful for newspapers to
sell their influence to any candidate
for ONCE. Such a law would make
the picking very slim for some OF the
Idaho newspapers. For instance,
some papers are In the habit OF not
only selling what little influence they
possess, but the editor IL willing to
step down and out for the time being
and let another take his place in pro-
noting the interests of the pur-
chasers. Reputable papers are not
subject to these bargains and sales
OF principle. but unfortunately an
are not in this class and such legls-
lation as the Washington law be-
comes almost a necessity. Idaho and
other states could follow the exam
pie Of Washington to great advan-
tage.

RIO GRAND SUFFERS FROM
BOX GAR THIEVES
Between as and 100 Suits of Under
wear Stolen From Cars Be-
tween Here and Helper
Thursday.

Eight men, supposed to be hoboes,
broke into a Denver & Rio Grande
freight car while it was in motion
on the road between the little sta
ton of Cotton and Helper Thursday
and stole between 75 and 100 suits
OF underwear, some shoes and "a
number of suits of clothing. The
goods were consigned to clothing
houses i'm Salt Lake City.
Carrying the stolen goods, five of
the thieves left the train at Cotton
station, but the other three went OH
into Salt Lake City, and on arriving
there they hid some of the stolen
goods in the railroad yards and then
took number of pairs of shoes up
town to sell them. Officers saw the
hObOes with shoes in their pockets,
became suspicious and ran them in.
After being ''sweated" they confessed
and are charged with burglary and
are certain of prison sentences. The
three hobOes gave their names as
Charles Davis, Arthur Fritzen and
II. f. Laddell.
The five men who got off the train

This morning Fletcher Farmer. 10
years old and the son of well
known resident, was brought before
Judge Walter S. Sullivan in the jul
venile court.
1t seems that the boy took an AK
and deliberately chopped a boat, tied
at a point on the bank of the Grand
river near the city, all to pieces. The
boy did not deny his guilt.
In January the Farmer boy was
brought into court charged with sew
eral offenses of petty larceny. Ow-
ing to the many good promises he
made at the time, and desiring to
give the boy chance to reform,
Judge Sullivan suspended sentence
at that time and released the boy on
his promise that he would report to
the court once a week. The boy re-
ported promptly for about three
weeks and that was the last Judge
Sullivan saw of him until he was
brought into court this morning. He
