OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER

A crazy Indian was brought here
from Glenn's Ferry a few days
since and was incarcerated in the
county Jail pending the arrival OF a
travelling attendant of the state
insane asvlum to escort him to
Blackfoot. He was perfectly
harmless, his delusion having
taken the form of an ardent desire
to make war on the Greeks. An
asylum attendant by the name OF
Moore arrived from Blackfoot to
take charge OF the unfortunate man,
who was turned over to him. The
guard proceeded to handcuff him,
as we presume is customary in
such cases. After the handouts
had been adjusted, and before
Sheriff Fountain could realize
what was taking place the guard
threw the Indian to the floor,
grabbed him by the hair and
pounded his head on the floor, fol-
lowing this up by brutally kick
ing him twice in the abdomen.
The sheriff immediately interfereo
and threatened to lock the guare
in a cell ii he repeated his actions

Shall We Have a fair?

There has been a great deal of
discussion during the last two or
three weeks about what course to
pursue at the county fair, Should
one be held in Mountain Home the
coming fall, with reference TO the
offering OF purses. There is con-
siderable diversity OF opinion as to
whether the money should m ostly
be offered ia premiums which
would tend to encourage the stock
raising and agricultural interests.
There is also some talk as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of holding fair a all
this year. La order that full I'M
derstanding may be reached, a
meeting OF tue business men and
those interested in the fair is
called for at the office of John H.
Garrett, president of the associa-
ton, on Saturday evening, Feb.
%, at 9 O'Clock, and it is hoped
that there will be good attend

and hopes to wear one with success.
The fashionable petticoat not only fits
tightly throughout its length, but 1t
lacks the flare at the bottom which
has been fashionable SO long. 1t is
now necessary to strike a happy mean
between the aforesaid flare and the
uncomfortable sinking in around the
feet which is so Objectionable in a
petticoat. A good way in which to
achieve this happy compromise is to
have the foundation of the skirt-that
is the lower edge-made of a material
that has some body, such as a soft
taffeta, and the trimming, II it be in
the shape of founce, made of softer
material-lace, chiffon or an inter-
mingling of both. Satin is, of course,
softer than taffeta, and the fbunce
may also be made of soft satin, al
though lingerie and chiffon fiounces
are even more fashionable.
Satin petticoats for evering wear
are made with flounces of net trimmed
with filet lace, or the fiounces instead
of being trimmed with lace, have pat
tern formed of narrow satin or velvet
ribbon made on the lace. A very effec-
tive pattern made on flounce of open
net was of squares or blocks, the rib
bon being made into a lattice work
to make the blocks. Blocks of net
so trimmed alternate with those q the
plain net.
Other skirts having net or chiffon
fiounces were trimmed with embroid-
cry done in narrow ribbon. This is
favorite trimming for brocade petit
coats. blue f1owered brocade petit
coat was trimmed with a chiffon
flounce having an embroidery in mar

quently used with this ribbon en-
broidery for an evening petticoat.
1t is also a fashion OF the moment
to trim brocade petticoats with fioun-
ces of act having an applique decora-
ton which has been cut from the bro
cade.
Petticoats for street wear are made
with very soft flounces trimmed with
self-colored embroidery. They match
the skirt in every instance except
when black is worn. and then some
times black and white underskirts
are used.

Scarfs In Favor,

Scarfs will be worn more and more
as spring approaches and furs are
packed away, SO it's well to be pre-
pared.
Very pretty and most serviceable are
the new motor scarfs," made like the
knitted or crocheted scarfs, but worn
about the neck over the collar to pro-
tect it from dust and to give some
little warmth. Special spools of silk
three times the size of the ordinary
spools are to be had for these scarfs,
so that the silk will not have to be
Joined anywhere. Made up in white
or any light shade the motor scarfs
are most attractive and are to be
worn by men as well as women to
protect the collar from the dye of a
fur coat. They are from four to six
inches in width and about a yard in
length A two-inch fringe of the silk
makes an attractive finish to this
smart scarf.

LACE scARTs FOR THE NECK.
Provide Protection for the Decorations
Of the Throat.

One of the dress difficulties of the
year is the discoloring of white neck
fixings by the black furs which are
SO much worn. A silk or lace scarf
Of some kind. to protect the white col
lar or guimpe, is almost necessity.
Small silk lace scarfs can be had
in almost any size and quality for this
purpose, and the mousseline. crepe
and silk scarfs are also serviceable.
Such scarf is small. covering only
the back and sides of the collar, the
ends tucking inconspicuously down in
the coat front.
Knitted silk scarfs in pale colors
and white have come in this year for
this purpose. They have silk-fringed
ends and look very well, besides amply
protecting the spotlessness of the
throat decorations.

Lleutenan. Doc. HI. own Cooking.


An army lieutenant writes with ref
erence to the proposed increase in
pay: 81 have changed station four
times within the past nine months (no
expense, of course), starting from the
Philippines and ending here-the last
ditch. I am post quartermaster, COM
missary, and few other things of
lesser Importance. but not negligible.
My wife is i'll; l am cooking three
meals day with my own hands; l
can't afford to hire a cook, as they
are $40 month here, which is nearly
third of my own salary. Painters
and plasterers get five and six dollars
a day for eight hours work. Does
the richest nation under the sun ex
pect an officer OF the army to do his
own cooking and housework? Can
he do 1t and attend to his various Of
ficial duties? l can't, even by work
ing 16 hours a day instead of eight.
Now, what is a man to do? Hire
cook, live little less like a tramp,
and let his notes go to protest, or do
his own cooking and let his duties suf-
fer? Maybe 1 should resign my COM
mission and look for a job of painting

Pa.teurize the MILK.

Nathan Straus sends a message to
American mothers to the effect that
raw milk is not good for children, the
scientific men of the world having
agreed upon the fact. Milk should be
pasteurized and the mother can do this
herself in her own kitchen. The in
ternational congress at Brussels
warned against raw milk, because of
the danger from tuberculosis. 1t is
not the poor alone who need instruc-
ton upon the subject, as many of the
babies of the rich suffer from the ef-
fects of raw milk, but Americans are
said to know more on the subject than
people of other countries.

Not Too Simple

John Simple, IA years old. of Dads
den. Ala, is not as simple as you
might think from his name. He saw
fellow hanging around the barn and
acting in suspicious manner, and
set big bear trap where he thought
1t would do the most good; and then

bagged his game. The man had en-
tered the barn to steal one of the

Lace UndersIeeves.

No waist is at the moment consid.
cred entirely satisfactory unless it has
cuffs or lower sleeves of lace. The
lace sleeve may reach from far above
the elbow or 1t may be only deep
unlined cuff.
The favorite lace for these under
sleeves is filet, but many other sorts
OF lace are used. If the lace is lined
with black chiffon or black net it
brings out the design to great advan-
tage. Black lace of an open pattern,
preferably filet. is lined with white,
and so used is extremely popular for
the undersleeves and extremely be-
coming to the hand and arm.
