DEATHS.
Death of an Old Citizen.

On Thursday evening. March IL,
1908, at 7.35 O'Clock. Mr.. John S.
Miller, one of the oldest oitizens
of our town, died at his home in
"Miller's Garden" of oomplioa-
ton of diseases incident to old age
Mr.. Mil or Game here from Virginia
whom he was only 18 years of age,
and has lived here continuously
for over 70 years. having passed
his 83rd birthday last September.
For many years he was engaged in
ooopering, gardening, etc and at
the time of the building of the
Ohio River Railroad through this
place had one of the most complete
and profitable garden and vineyard
in this section, which was greatly
damaged by the road, and finally
abandoned; but Mr.. Miller oontin
ued to live in the small house built
ON the promises, and as old age
and infirmities grew, he was often
urged by his aons. Messrs. Charles
and Melvin, to make his homo with
them, but he persistently refused
to leave, preferring, as he often
said, to die where he had seen his
life work blossom and wither,
Daddy" Miller, as he was famil-
iarly called, was widely known
throughout THE county, and the
mention of his death in this paper
will be read with interest in many
defiant States.
Several weeks before his death
he called friend to his bedside
and told him he had written his
own obituary. and exaoted prom
ise that it would be printed az writ
ten. This paper has been looked
for among his effects. but has not
as yet been found.
By his request the remains we're
laid to rest in the old cemetery,
near the graves of his mother and
son Edward, on last Saturday, fol.
lowed by many of his old friende,
Rev. Robert P. Bell, of,the M. E
Church, South, conducting the

A PUZZLER.

He struggled down the slippery street,

He struck very ley spot;
He looked for help; he found 1t not;
His heels went up. and he went down.
The shock, 1t simply Jared the town.
And everybody laughed

That she had fried; reached for the dish

Watching the fish, so deity browned)
She raised the dish. but 1t was hot!
1t fell and smashed upon the spot
And everybody laughed!
He started down the subway stairs
When something caught him unawares
He stubbed his toe or caught his heel
Or slipped upon an orange peel.
He turned somersault, and thump!
He landed with an awful bump
And everybody laughed
The bald man suffered with a fly;
The umpire got biffed In the eye;
The lady left the open car
The wrong way to-ta-ra- ra-rahl
The judge went by. with stately tread;
A snowslide squashed upon his head
And everybody laughed!
Now please, will some one tell me why
We laugh at times as If we'd die
When people suffer pain and grief?
Why should laugh give us relief?
In short. when everything's awry
VIII some one kindly tell me why
Should everybody laugh?

Amusing Incident of Politicians

Stay at a Certain Hotel.
A hotel proprietor In Kansas City
once told OF an amusing incident con-
nected with the stay at his house of a
rural politician of Missouri.
The politician had come to the hotel
for but one day, and he had taken his
dinner elsewhere with a friend. When,
on coming to pay his bill, he found
himself charged with a days board,
dinner and all, he protested vigorous
ly. 1t was explained to him that the
American plan was based strictly on
time and that If he chose to eat else
where 1t was his own lookout. The
man, however, refused to be pacifed
and paid the bill under protest. Then,
to every ones surprise, he asked II

formed that 1t lasted until 8 In the
evening he exclaimed:
"I've eaten one dinner, but I'm 60
ing to get my moneys worth cut Of

of dyspepsia"
He then rushed into one of the din
ing rooms, seized a bill of fare and or
dered everything he could think of.
When he finally reached his limit, the
waiter handed him check for $S.35.

at the special session of 1893, on
the repeal of the Sherman Act, the
last hope of the free silver cause, it
was war to the knife in the House
and fight to the death.
The bill coming on regularly for
action in the House, was read in
full by the clerk, and a long line of
amendments, amendments to
amendments, and substitutes for
amendments were successfully
hurled at the bill by the opposing
forces. Amendment after amend
ment and substitute after substi.
tute were introduced to be voted
down by those i'll the majority. As
every amendment and substitute
offered became in turn the subject
of debate, in which every anti
divisionist took part, il became
evident that the anti-division
forces had carefully mapped out
plan Of obstruction by which time
was to be consumed in pursuing
their parliamentary tactics, and in
this manner prevent the bill from
being voted on until the time Sc,

opprobrious tibet that would be

was hurled at the bill. The argu.

CHAPTER vi.

The Roman Empire, the King
doms OF Assyria, Babylon ano
Egypt, and later ON the Empire o.
the Charlemagnes, in the course Of
time went down, and in almost
every case the downfall of these
great powers was caused by the
greed of the rulers for gold and
power. In January of 1889, the
Empire county" Alturas began tc
crumble, and once she started on a
downward career, all the skill, in.
penuity and influence of the hood.
ling rulers became powerlsss to
stay the coming disaster. The
Empire county, under the domino.
ton of the HALEY ring for seven
wears, waxed strong in pride and
arrogance, but latter pride cometh
a fall" Ere three months more
had rolled by Alturas had fallen
from her high position and glory
and fell hard
The dill referred to as "the ON.
nibus Bill" was introduced in the
House, and in the usual course OF
all legislative bills when introduc.
ed, was read at iull length and or.
dered to be referred to the commit
tee on counties.
Ia the hands of this committee
the bill underwent a hot and bit.
ter discussion. The anti division.
lists, aided by some of the best legal
talent in the Territory, appeared
before the committee with the in
tention of securing an ufavorable
report, and having the bill sent
back in that shape to the House.
The bill was cut, slashed, dissected
and turned inside out-section af.
ter section after section was torn
asunder and every conceivable
inducement, both good and bad,
was offered to The committeeman.
The mem bers of The committee,
when not in session, were hunted :,
chased and h rrassed by the Hal.
ley contingent until it became a
game of hounds and hares around
the streets and hotels of Boise.
The divisionists worked eagerly to
counterfeit the influence of their
opponents, and were rewarded by
the bill coming back to the House
with favorable report from the
committee. The Haileyites never
faltered at this, their first repulse,
but prepared for further and hard,
er action. The report of the com
mittee being ready, the next move
of the anti divisionists, was to have
the report tabled, but the motion
for that disposition of the bill was
voted down hard, and the bill was
ordered to 90 before the committee
of the whole.
On the first ensuing organization
OF the House as a committee on the
whole, the bill came up for action.
Here every kind of legislative fill
clustering to kill the bill was re
sorted to by the Haileyites, and
obstruction after obstruction was
placed to prevent its passage, and
the tactics adopted to accomplish
that end would put the Irish mem.
bers OF the British Parliament
away below par, but all in vain.
The bill went through that com.
mitee with flying colors, and was
returned to the House for final
passage, unscathed by the fiery
ordeal.
