II Friend in Time of Need.

In running over The Scimitars scrap-books we
came across a story of Ben Anderson, of the
best known and best liked of the pioneers of Boise
Basin. Ben has long since gone to his final &C
count, carrying with him to his grave the affection
of all the "old-timers"
The story relates that an atrocious murder was
committed for the preparation of which there were
absolutely no extenuating circumstances The muir
dered man would have been mobbed had not some
cooler heads persuaded the people that it would be
sautary to speedily try, convict and hang the
cu1prit An indictment promptly found and
the case set for trial.
There was some difficulty i'll getting jury, on
account of bias. Ben Anderson not the
drawn panel but loafed around conveniently, and
when special venire given the sheriff he picked
up Ben.
The usual questions asked him, and Ben
assured the court and attorneys that he know moth
ing about the case had paid attention to it, that
he was acquainted with the murdered man. also
with the defendant not particularly intimate
with either one; that he had no prejudice one
way or the other; that he was in favor of capital
punishment, ETC. Both sides accepted him. The
trial showed the guilt of the accused beyond doubt

and nothing to justify the act to mitigate the
crime disclosed.
The jury retired under instructions from the
Judge which amounted almost to command to find
verdict of guilty The first vote stood eleven for
murder in the first degree and not guilty, and
there the jury stood for two days and nights, and
finally brought in the report that they could pos
sibly agree. The eleven so incensed that they
made it known quickly after their dismissal that
Ben Anderson had hung the jury
His indignant friends demanded an explanation

to me once when else would There is no
use talking, | couldn't get away from it that I am

have done in my place? | Jims friend, sure
enough, and if any earth ever needed

The bill admitting Idaho to the Union of States
passed the Senate, without amendment, about one
o'clock in the afternoon of July 3rd 1890 1t had
long previously time in March or April been

The bill was quickly engrossed signed by the
speaker and President of the Senate and the dele

the afternoon of July 3rd 1890 The President,
Secretary of State JAS G. Blaine and the Delegate
the only people in the Presidents office at the

The Delegate said: "Mr President, the Idaho
people have teegraphed me from all sections asking
that you defer signing the bill until tomorrow,
der that may be the 18th of July state. This
wish of their seems so universal that | ask you to

President Harrisons face was wreathed in
beautiful smile he replied: 81 am perfectly will

the provision that the star representing state

it to a new wooden pen-holder signed the bill, pre-
sented the pen and holder to the Delegate with
few most pleasant remarks and shaking hands said
Il believe your people will approve of your decision,
and Idaho will be the 4th of July state besides

TO FORM A CHURCH
EvANGEIIsTs BEGIN WORK FOR
 CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
First of Series of Meetings Held fes- terday Morning st Audfo- riun by Messrs spetgei
 and Dubber.

Rev. A. k. Dubber. under the direc- ton of the National Board in csnJunc- tion with Rev. s. F. Speigel, state Evangelist of the Christian CnuEcn' yesterday morning at the city, audi torium. opened most auspiciousiy se ries of meetings. the purpose of wnicn is the establishment of Christian Church within the city,,
 While there was no great crowd to hear the two evangelists at either the morning or the night service, the pit of the auditorium was comfortably filled. and the attention which the con xregation paid to the addresses must have been most encouraging to the, workers in what is to them new field.
 After a brief address by Rev. S. P SpeigeI, Rev A. E. Dubber was in- troduced with "a few words telling or the position which he filled under the National Board. MT. Dubber then clearly outlined the great work which the National and State Board had sent him to Montgomery to perform.
 The speaker said that he felt sure that there were a great many persons in Montgomery who at some former time, either in this State or in other States in which the Christian Church had established itself had boen mem- bers Of the church which he came to Montgomery to organize. It was pos sible that many who heard him were members of some church and had not taken their Ietters,' but had let their membership remain in another city. To all of these. the evangelist appealed for support. asking that they meet him, and acquaint him of their membership.
 Tt is the purpose of the National and the State Board" said Mir. Dubber, ''to establish in Montgomery a Chris tian Church which will> not only be a monument to the city. but which will draw together tn one fellowship all Christians in the city,
 At the morning service almost all of the time was taken up by an explana- ton and an outlining of the work which the two eyanEelists expected to accomplish. To all of those interested in the work he set a motto which if followed. means success in all things.
 The evangelist took his readings from Matthew. John and Corinthians, and after a few remarks upon these readings, launched into the plans for the organization for the church of his faith. In speaking of this denomina- ton he said that it had been reported that the Christian Church had no creed. This is all a mistake, the creed of this church is Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, each. serving the Lord accord ing to his r-her interpretation of the work as contained In the Book"
 At the night services the same work was practically gone over for the sec ond time, there being many new faces present in the congregation. At the conclusion of the services it was stated that the public. especially those not members of any church, would be cor dially welcomed.
 The services until further notice, will be held every night during the week at 7:3O o'clock.
