CARRIES INSURANCE FOR YOU.

1t Is something out of the ordinary
for q newspaper to carry fire In.
surance for it's patrons and those II
deals with, but this is what the Idaho
Republican has been doing for some
time, and makes the public absolute
ly secure against loss in dealing with
them and paying their subscriptions
in advance. The following affidavit
explains this more fully.
T. Fl. Christy, cashier of the First
National Bank of Blackfoot, Unit
ed States depositary, first being duly
sworn, deposes and says:
During all the time / have held
my present position, Byrd Trego,
editor of The Idaho Republican and
manager of the Republican Printing
Company, Ltd, has used one of our
fireproof safety deposit vaults to
keep valuable papers in, and among
other things kept there are proof
sheets or fac smile of the subscrip-
ton list of The Idaho Republican,
showing the condition of each sub
scriber's account. About once a
month he takes out the old one and
deposits revised list, and he has at
sundry times informed me that he
did this to protect himself and his
patrons against possible loss by fire,
or accident in the mailing room.
The insurance now carried by The
Republican Printing Company on
their plant amounts to $4,000, and
of this amount, $500 is made pay
able to the First National Bank as
trustee, to be paid in rebate to per-
sons whose subscriptions to The Re-
publican is paid In advance, In case
the plant should be destroyed by fire
and the publication of the paper dis
continued.
The policy specifies that the insur-
ance is payable to ,paid-in-advance
subscribers to The Idaho Republican,
beginning with those paid farthest in
advance, and following down to and
including the least, the residue, II
any, to be paid to the creditors Of
The Republican Printing Company II
they owe anything, and the further
residue, II any, to be divided pro rata
among the stockholders Of The Re-
publican Printing Company, Ltd.

BALLOON FALLS
INTO THE DESERT

EHRENBERG, Ariz., Nov. 25.--
Falling 5000 feet to the Arizona
plains, and dragged a mile through
cactus and over boulders, the battered
basket of the balloon United tates"
plowing deep burrows in the earth,
Captain A. G. Mueller and j. X.
Hutchinson Monday afternoon made
one of the most sensational landings
in the history of aernonautics. They
travelled $50 miles through the clouds
in six hours. Bruised and bleeding
they landed where there WIS no
human habitation and wandered all
might. Yesterday they reached
Ehrenberg hungry, cold and ex-
hausted. The balloon left Los An
|geles Monday morning.
Shortly after crossing the Colorado
river, the pendix rope broke. The
cold wind forced the Illuminating gas
from the bag and 1t dropped at ter
rifle speed onto the desert. Their
average height was 10000 feet
where steady eastern current car
ried them 40 miles an hour. They
crossed the mountains within a
quarter OF mile of San Jacinto peak.
Between San Jacinto peak and the
Colorado river sudden strata of
cold air condensed the gas and the
United States" dropped from it's
dizzy height onto the rocks. Two
bags of ballast were torn loose and
the balloon again descended to
height SO much over 10000 feet that
the instruments failed to register the
elevation. Mueller said the final
landing was the most dangerous ex-
perience he ever went through. They I
saved themselves from being crushed
by climbing on the balloon rigging.
The bag Is still in the middle of the
lesert.

With the passing of the election,
however, harmony again reigns, and
everybody Except possibly the de-
feated candidates) appears to be
satisfied. And in light of the past
this confidence in their representa-
tives in office appears to be fully
justified. Hawaii has learned the
art of self government and only lacks
a political machine of corrupt eff
cheney to put her in the class with
any state In the Union.

BANKING IN HAWAII.

The development of the banking
business In Hawaii has been one of
the significant things of the past de-
cade. Ten years ago there was not
a bank in the islands outside of Ho-
nolulu, whereas at the present time
there are no less than fourteen, OF
which number Honolulu claims nine.
The others are distributed on the
three other principal islands. OF these
institutions three are savings banks.
and four are national banks. Applica-

tion has lately been made to the
Comptroller of the Currency at Wash
ington for fifth national bank, to be
established in Kohala, in the island
of Hawaii.
The growth of the banking bust
ness since the annexation is possibly
In part explained by the fact that the
postal savings bank operated under
the Hawaiian government was dis
continued at annexation, and some
substitute for this was needed in diff
ferent parts Of the territory.

deeply in love with her at first sight
and he laid siege to her heart as per-
sistently as ever he followed a rare
specimen of orchid That she returned
his love he was sure, but there was a
restraint in her relations with him
that he could not fathom. Finally
when riding to hounds they found
themselves far from the pack. Night
was coming on, beautiful moonlit
night that no lover could resist. AS
they logged their horses side by side
along the bride path he took her in
his arms across the saddle. She strug-
gled feeb1y, yielded and their lips met
In one long, passionate kiss. At last
she freed herself and told her pitiful
story. She could not marry him. She
could not in honor say that she loved
him. She was already the wife OF an
other, welded before the registrar,
although she did not tell him this man
was the Hon. A1gernon Sidney Hop
pington. The marriage must be kept
secret because if Hoppington mar
ried against the wishes or without
| the knowledge and consent or the
great-uncle in America ne forfeited
all right TO his vast estate. Yes, she
had thought she loved him, but noWsF--
but she might not say; honor sealed
her lips.
This honor Graham respected, and
he accepted his fate like a man and
sought to forget her in long Journeys
attendant upon his chosen vocation.
| But Kismet was too strong for them
Hoppington came into his fortune and
!, left England to claim it. Then en-.
sued a long silence in which his wife
knew nothing of his movements bui
what she saw in the papers. Had
| Graham returned to England then 8
divorce and a happier marriage might
have followed, but he was far of II
the Philippines. At last anger and
woman's curiosity to know what
was going on got the better of her
and she determined to go to Chicago
openly, and, If necessary, fight it on
there to the conclusion of a recogni
ton of her rights or an absolute di
| Yorce.

During the funeral discourse no out

in his prayer, it was evident that his

There across the bed lay the woman
of whose existence we had learned
not five minutes before and with whom
we had hoped to be in conversation at

beautiful even in death, with her deeI
olive complexion, her features of the
most delicate patrician mold, her lips
which the blood had not yet deserted
as red as coral, and her silky black
hair, one loose strand of which strayeC
over the temple and half concealed

| entered. And this form but few mo
