A CORRECTION.

Two weeks ago we quoted D. B.
Hawley of Howe, on matters of poll
tics and dry farming, and left the
impression that he was not alto
gether satisfied with our representa-
tives in Washington. Mr.. Hawley
writes to say that he meant no crit
icism of Mr.. French, and that if he
included him he wanted to square
himself. He meant to criticise SEN
ator Hepburn in congress and Du-
bois In politics.
Now If we read his letter wrong,
we are duly sorry for the mistake
and we are willing to be forgiven. In
the meantime, watch us to see that
we don't take it all back next week,
and say we didn't mean what we
said at this time. lMr. Hawley is all
right, and will stick to what he says,
but editors up and down the line will
bear watching.

LOOKS LIKE NEGLECT.

1t has been several months since
any of the newspapers of the south
east have published anything about
J. Frank Hunt being on his way to
Blackfoot to act as receiver of the
Land Office, and we wonder if it is
neglect.
We suggest that one of the Poca-
tello papers start off with something
like this: Hon. J. Frank Hunt Is
in the city today on his way to Black
foot. Mr.. Hunt has lately been ap-
pointed receiver to succeed Geo. A.
Robethan, and will assume charge
of the position at once" This would
give the .Malad papers a chance to
copy it, and The Scimitar would have
a chance to say something of Hunts
family relations and point out some
Interior motive on the part of the
party in power having him in that
position.

A Pleasant Surprise.

On Wednesday evening a number
of the members of the Woodcraft
circle met at the home of Mrs. T. r.
Tones all ready to take an automo-
bile ride to the home of Mrs. Susie
STEPHENS, bent on giving her great
surprise.
T. R. Jones made several trips in
the auto before all the ladies and ice
ceram. etc, were safely landed to the
front door and after all had arrived
thew marched right no to the door
and wDt in. Mrs. STEPHENS finally
aroused herself from the surprise and
proved a charming hostess. The eve
ming was spent in singing, ROTATIONS
and music. About midnight supper
was served and geratly appreciated
by all
Mrs. Stephens had been clerk of
the lodge for wears and has kept the
hooks in splendid condition and 1t
rs greatly regretted by the members
that she is soon to leave for her new
home in California.

HOT TIME AT SCHOOL ELECTION.

May, Idaho, is little berg in big
valley called Pahsemari, Pahsimeroi,
Pasimeroi or paradise according to
who spells it. 1t is $50 miles north
west of Blackfoot, and just over the
range east Of Challis. 1t was first
settled by stockmen, and many of the
people are from Arkansas, this being
the reason why part of the valley is
spoken of as The Arkansas Reserva-
ton"
Many of the settlers are devout
Methodists, and signs of civilization
have been apparent for several years
in church festivals. Two years ago
they built large school house after
joining two districts together, and
in the recent school election the chief
issue was whether or not religious
services should be held in the school
house. Both sides marshaled all their
forces, and the vote stood q to rs
in favor of school house devotions.
When the vote was announced, one
young lady who had worked hard
for the victory got down on the floor
behind the desk and clapped her
hands In Joy. The defeated fellows
put on the best smile possible and
yielded to Church influence"

SO beautifully. they would be con-
demned by the old school Methodists.
On the other mand, there are
sances, and dances. Young people
use up all the energies of their sys-
TENS in promiscuous associations, as
II dancing were the chief end and aim
of life. They come in contact with
those whose lives are aimless and
whose acts are the acts Of wolves,
and the dance is their opportunity.
If the young people were gathered
at religious campmeeting instead,
that is where the same wolves would
be, making 1t their opportunity.

DEATH OF G. w. FRESH.

On Friday afternoon, April 10th, at
about 4 o'clock, death came to Chas.
w. Fresh. and he passed on beyond the
stars " to that bourne from which no
traveller returneth." Mr. Fresh had
recently been operated upon for APP
pendicitis from which he was recov-
ering nicely when some form of stom-
ach trouble set in which resulted in
his death. The news fell like
thunder bolt on his family aud many
friends who were daily expecting to
hear of his removal to his home, as
1t was thought that he was out of
danger. Mr.. Fresh is an old resi-
dent 'ofthis place having come to Ida
no in 1888. In 1889 he was mar
ried to Miss Josephine Alsop of Riv-
erside, daughter of Mrs. s. F.
Adams. For number of years Mr..
and Mrs. Fresh lived in the vicinity
of American Falls. About twelve
years ago he removed with his family
to this place where he had spent the
intervening years in improving his
place and building up a home for
them. His was, one of the progress
sive spirits who believed that the
world was made for those who look
forward and not backward He was
in sympathy with any move for the
betterment of his fellow men, and
read and studied the best and most
improved methods of doing whatever
he had to do, and had built up an
enviable reputation for honesty and
straight forward dealing.
He was staunch true friend and
a good neighbor, and the community
has lost good citizen; while to his
family the loss is irreparable. Mr..
Fresh was benefit member of Pho
neer Camp, No. $3.50, Modern Wood
men of America. Also member of
the Royal Neighbors. The funeral
services were held at the l.. D. S.
church at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon
April 18th. After the services the
M. W. A. took charge and conductsA
the burial services according to the
rites and with all the honors of the
order The body was inferred in the
/. 0. o. F. cemetery at Blackfoot
The heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community is extended to the |
bereaved family. He leaves wife |
and eight children to mourn his loss.
Messrs. John and Ed Fresh of |
Baker City, Oregon, came in on No.
Z, Saturday last, to attend the funer-
al of their brother, the late C. w.
Fresh The father could not come
on account of the illness of his wife.
The brothers returned to their home
on the midnight train Monday night.

We WANT A BOY,

The Republican office wants a boy
to work. We want boy who does
not know all of it yet, and who is
willing to- learn some as he goes
along. We want him to be willing to
sweep the floor, wipe the dust off of
the office furniture and to run err
rands. We want him to be willing
to work for smaller wage than the
foreman receives, for the first few
days or longer, and to be willing
to work until Saturday night each
week without drawing any pay.
We want boy who does not shake
dice nor deal in bottles nor know all
about the use of the cue. We prefer
a boy who has a garden and raises
little truck, and digs in the gar
den when "the gang" is making
money and losing it in little catch
games about the streets.
We wish he might be able to write
little so it could be read easily,
and also be able to spell common
words correctly A fellow who does
not spend more money each week
than he earns, and who can put a
dollar away and keep it for couple
of days or more without having it
burn his pocket and who Is not
ashamed to go to Sunday school or
too aristocratic to carry coal and
water for his mother, and whose
creditors will not come to us to ask
us to hold out of his wages some
money to pay for candy and admis-
sion, tickets, borrowed money etc.
In addition to all these things, he
must wear clean clothes, and if they
are patched that is all right with u.s.
The boy crop is plentiful, but we
have observed that too many of
them are wise in uselessness and
1ense about writing and spelling and
1oing neat work of any kind. And
he boys are not altogether to blame
or this either; nor are the schools
wholly responsible, nor the parents;
We think it must be the grand par
'nts or the altitude or spots on the
Jun that have caused much of the
rouble in hitching boys to dull
work.; work that is tame when COM

lot and lots of other productive

Commissioners Doings.

Some matters of general interest
came before the board at the meet.
ing this week were applications fol
herd districts.
The application of George White
and others to establish herd dis
trict including Groveland, Riverside
and part of MOreland, was granted
and people will not be permitted to
allow their stock to range in the
roads without a herder or somebody
in charge.
The application of A. ]. Snyder and
others for a herd district for Danil-
son Springs precinct, including Til
den, Otis, Yuma and Aberdeen, was
considered and vigorously opposed.
M. L. Haines and G. w. Brown of
Aberdeen represented the petitioners
and Harry Hamilton, Rice Bros,
Mark Coleman, John S. Watson and
others opposed the petition and were
represented through their attorneys.
Hansbrough & Gagon.
A protest was filed showing that
a majority of the electors of the pre-
cinct were opposed to the herd district
and on this ground the petition was
denied. The petitioners presented
several lists of names as parts of the
petition, but because they were not
included in the original petition on
which the advertisement or notice of
petition was based, they were not
taken into account.
In the matter of dividing Moreland
school district the petition was denied.
Aberdeen asked to have nearly four
townships, or something like $4,000
acres, mostly unorganized territory
included in their school district, 1t
being a part of their plan to have a
central school at Aberdeen where the
higher grades and agriculture shall
be taught, and to have schools for
grade work In three or four places at
/ distance from Aberdeen but in the
same district, thus enabling them to
handle twelve grades in one district. |
The petition was granted, allowing |

NOT QUITE BUT NEARLY.

It is nearly our time to apologize,
but not quite. Since Editor Wheeler
(not in contempt) has squared him
self with the court, we don't know
exactly where 1t leaves us.
We predicted that If he were found
to be in the wrong, and 1t became his
duty to retract or make a confession
that he had done anything that was
wrong, he could never print it be-
cause his press was not accustomed
to doing anything like that, and 1t
would break under the strain Then
followed Mr.. Wheeler's statement
that something he had published in
his paper relative to Judge Stevens
was not correct. and that it was not
his intention to discredit the court.
1t went through his paper and APP
parently no injury was done to the
press. We felt that it was right for
us to make apology for what we had
said about breaking the press, but we
knew SO well the atmosphere in
which he moves that we waited a
week to see If he would take back
anything he had said. In his last
issue he recapitulates, says he re-
tracted nothing, that there was no
humiliation in his attitude on that
point, and that he was simply max
ing correction such as he would
have made anyway If he had not been
cited to appear in court
We think this is entirely correct,
but most people will not understand
1t. Mr.. Wheeler has fixed time for
making all his voluntary corrections,
and the date for 1t is some time af-
ter death.
In this instance he had ample time
to discover his error and make
amends before being called into
court, but he neglected to become |
conscientious about 1t until the last
day of grace.
or course we might have made our
apology week ago, and made it con-
ditional on Mr.. Wheeler's sticking
to what he said and not backing up,
and In order to get the thing off of
our hands and deserve the
good will and kindly blessings Of
Editor Wheeler we offer the stand
ing statement that If ever Mr.. Wheel
er makes really open, frank apology
and then sticks to 1t, and does it
through The Register so as to leave
no deception, we are wrong and in
contempt and will send Mr.. Wheeler
a fine box of cigars as an acknowl-
edgement to himself and friends.

METHODlSTS WANT A CHANGE.

The New York conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church voted
last week to ask the next general
conference to remove the anti-amuse-
ment clause from the book of discip-
line.
This refers to card playing and
dancing. and has been discussed in
Methodism to such an extent that by
common consent 1t is pretty generally
understood that it is matter of con-
science for each individual to settle
for himself and be individually re-
sponsible for. At the general con-
fenence held az Los Angeles in 1904
1t was one of the important matters
that came before that body, but the
resolution to strike out the amuse-
ment clause was lost.
Much has been said on both sides
of the subject, and after all, 1t does
not matter so much what is done
for amusement as how it is done.
Many sincere Methodists whose lives
are as pure as the morning, encour-
age social gatherings where those
old kissing games are prominent
features. and people are roped in to
kiss or be kissed by persons they
dislike. thus debasing the expression
