pie who predicted domestic troubles,
even tragedies, but they were mis-
taken. The Hobarts were to all
appearances an unusually happy

Robert Reiniger OF Butte, Mont.
who passed away October 7, while
sojourning with Rathdrum friends,
was laid to rest in Pine Grove

Among those attending the funeral

and fellow members of the order
of Sons of Herman and the Kreiger
Verein of Butte.

80 years ago, settling IN California,
b 1t moved to Butte in 1895 from
SEATTLE, where he had been en-

RATHDRUM is the only town in
kootenai county on the main
lines of two railroads and within
three miles of the main line of a
third. With sixteen passenger
trains in and out cf town every
day and with railway connec-
tions, within the county, with
other sections of the county,
this towns railroad facilities are
good. CGur d'Alene's claim to
greater accessibility sinks into
insignificancs and becomes OF
very small Importance when the
cost OF removal of the county
seat is considered. Taxes are
high enough and should be re-
duced, not increased. Moving
the county seat will increase
taxes and everyone who thinks
about the matter knows it.

Funny Irish Sayings.

Here are a few Irish bulls: An
Irish member of the Ventnor local
board some thirty years ago propos-
ed that st. Boniface down should
be planted with some fine old oaks.
Horace Walpole records one
which he pronounces the best he
ever met with. 81 hate that wom-
an" said a gentleman, looking at a
person who had been his nurse. 81
hate her, for when | was a child she
changed me at nurse"
This was a pefflexing assertion,
but a similar instance is recorded
in the autobiography of an Irish
man, who grayely informs us that
he ran away early in life from his
father ON discovering he was only
his uncle" London Telegraph.

Occur d'Alene's Campaign Of
Promises.

the lease in escrow" remains their
property until it is accepted and the
consideration paid which cannot be
done before election and it can be
withdrawn anytime on or after elect
ion day Gin the event that Occur d.
Alene Wins before the county COM
missioners have time to meet to con-
slider it. That promise is very much
like the one which Mr. Mcfarland
and Mr.. Black have made to the
people of St. Maries and St. Joe to
the effect that when the southern
part of Kootenai county has grown
and the people want new county
down there they will have Occur d.
Alene's assistance if they assist
Occur d Alene now in getting the
county seat from Rathdrum. How
can those two men pledge to the
people of St. Maries and St. Joe the
support of Occur d Alene some
years hence? What right have they?
Do they carry Occur d Alene's votes
in their vest pockets? Could they,
if necessary, control the sentiment of
Occur d Alene people on county
division proposition, at this time?
Could any other two men do it? 1t
is unreasonable to presume that they
could. The taxpayers should be
cautious, for the seeming friend of
today may be the enemy Of tomor-
row and by no act of theirs should
the taxpayers place it in the power
Of such friend" to do them injury
should he become their foe. Beware
of promises that can't be kept.
Occur d Alene's whole campaign is
one of promises of this sort; the op-
position to removal is giving only
the cold facts, facts which the adj
vocates of removal seek to becloud
by misrepresentation.

Beware Of losing or wasting inches
Of time. They are the little foxes
that run away with many days. So
much can be done in them and with
them, often the very things for
which we sigh hopelessly-dFill them,
every one. Keep something handy
something that fits the iRterval.
Remember a famous law106k was
written because a lord chancellor
chose not to be idle throughout the
fifteen minutes his wife made him
wait each day for dinner. Recall,
10, all the men, noble and eminent,
who have climbed to the heights by
saving inches of time. All of us
cannot hope to become likewise en-
;nent, but we can reasonably and
easily make ourselves happy with
things wrought in the fragmentary
moments which we might unthrift-
lily leave Observation-Disclosures.

FLORAL sUPERsTIII0Ns.
Country Beliefs About the Mints'
Flowers and Luck.

VbVw0so oV0 eoSWs
There is nothing which grows
around which there is more super.
stition woven than the homely
raints. Not only is mint the crown
ing enticement of julep and a
thing which makes sedate Tables
gambol and roll like six-month-olG
kittens; but, according to tradition,
the different minis have supernats.
raj properties, and there are good
and bad minis. Pennyroyal, aside
from it's qualification as flea dis
ceursger, is said to make quarrel
some husband and wife stop bicker-
ing if it is given to them by some
friend. Catnip, on the other hand,
when chewed creates quarrelsome-
ness and is said to make even mild
and gentle people fierce. k.catnip
is held in the hand until heated and
then put into the hand Of another,
1t will, so goes the superstition, SO
control that person that he or she
cannot leave you SO long as the cat
nip is retained in the hand.
SpearmMt will prevent illness
SO long as it is worn about the wrist.
If spearmint is mixed with salt and
applied to the bite of a mad dog,
the wound will heal, it is said. In the
olden days the children used to put
a bit of spearmint in the cots on
Christmas day, believing that at the
exact time when the Saviour was
born the mint would blossom.
The superstitions which cluster
around flowers are as many as there
are different flowers. 1t is consid-
cred unlucky to gather flowers out
Of. season, as before and after the
season they are said to belong to
the fairies. The first wild flowers
which are gathered by young wom-
an in the spring should spell the
initials of her future husband, if
the superstition holds true.
Here is a schedule of supersti-
tons about finding the first flower
Of the season:
If found on Monday, good luck
all the year.
If found on Tuesday, large un-
dertakings, which will be success
full.
If found on Wednesday, a we'd
ding in the famiE y,
If found on Thursday, hard work
with little profit.
If found on Friday, unexpected
wealth.
If found on Saturday, misfor-
tunes.
If found on Sunday, best luck Of

belonging to William McConaghy and
Edwin McBee, and also a barn be
longing to McBee, burned On the
latter's ranch Sunday afternoon. A
small insurance covered the barn,
which was valued at 500, but there
was no insurance on the hay. The
land, it seems. was leased to a tenant
who was burning some brush and the
fire got beyond control and spread to
the haystack and then to the barn.

The Governor sent a special
message to the Legislature to say
that there is an actual deficit IN
the state treasury of $106,558.O7.
He proceeds to show whereby
this deficit occurs, and offers the
sage observation that state
boards and officials in the past
have incurred indebtedness with
out Legislative sanction, and then
have appealed to succeeding
Legislatures to pay Deficiencies.
This is a pernicious practice and
should cease. Public fun d S
should not be expended unless
authorized by law" He recon-
mends that the legislature give
their best thought to improving
the fiscal affairs of the State be
fore they meet again.

Legislature AdjOurns.

The Legislature of 1903 has
gone into history. 1t passed 81
bills that received the Cover
nor's signature, some OF them
good and necessary, others in
differently good and bad, others
bad.
The Legislature has distin-
guished itself by unusually hard
work and attention to business
but has been beset with many
temptations and harassed by the
most persistent lobbies in many
years. The Locke, Shattuck and
Kaliski bills directed against the
racetrack, the saloon and child
slavery respectively, were re
forms which had about as hard
fight as one would care to have
TO the credit of the other re
forms promised is nothing.
| No new work for schools ha
been inaugurated. The misceg
enation law is a shame and
sham. The appropriations soa
above the revenue and still
more is needed. The sheriff
and assessors enjoy restoral Q
their commissions. There haV
been several bad mis- -approprl;
tons that will smart in the popl
! lar memory for some time.
Well, all of us make mistake
and perhaps the new Legislatul
will learn better next time.
