Queer Political Turn.

The editor of The Republican re-
Gently saw something in his own pa
per about the prospects of Bryan be-
ing elected to the presidency and
remembered having read it some
where else. He wondered how it
came to be in his paper, since he did
not endorse it at all.
An investigation of the dead
hook" in the printing office disclos-
ed the fact that he had clipped an
article that he wished to copy, and
marked 1t to show what paper it was
taken from. 1t so happened that the
Bryan article was on the reverse
side of the sheet, and was of the
same length. The usual precaution
of cancelling anything that might
be on the back of the desired clip
ping, was not taken, and the print
er set the wrong matter.
Funny things happen sometimes
through a mere slip of a pencil or
the turn of the wrist in the press
room. The Shoshone Journal was
busy not long ago, explaining how
leaving out line of type had
brought down the wrath Of a lot of
people upon the editor, and last
week the fourth line of our careful
ly prepared article about wedding,
was followed by freak line such
as only limo type can make, and
it read another happy event OF
ofkgroomcnuosl IN. .**shrdlu the
Christmas tide" The proof" was
clean, but the freak line got set in
during the makeup" of the forms,
and nobody need worry about how it
got there, since it had gone out to
more than a thousand homes before
1t was discovered.
The moral to be deducted from
these things is two-fold: Don't run
a paper unless you can stand 1t to
have some imperfection confronting
you in every edition sent out. Don't
go and hang the publisher until you
satisfy yourself that he menat to
have 1t read just as it did.

Karl RiedeIsberger Complimented.

A high compliment was paid by
New York magazine to Mr.. Riedels-
berger who visits Blackfoot weekly
to teach music. The Burr-McIntosh
Magazine, devoted to artistic photo
graphy of prominent men contains
Mr. Riedelsbergers picture in this
months issue. The picture is most
artistic production by the well known
photographer, Mr.. J. H. Hinton, who
at one time lived in Idaho Falls and
who is now located at Butte. 1t is
most striking reproduction of the
attitude of the violinist while play
ing. In publishing the picture, which
appears between those of Admiral
Evans and a prince of Korea and un-
der the head line of People of Note,
the following note is made of Mr..
Riedelsberger.
Karl Riedelsbergsr, violinist and
lecturer, was born in Koenigsberg,
East Prussia, Germany. He was edu-
Gated by Masonic Lodge of the
same city, being a pupil OF Max
Brode, conductor of the Symphony
Orchestra of the same city. He was
graduated from the Gymnasium
at the age of sixteen, subsequently
becoming a pupil of Emil Sauret at
the age of eighteen. Pursuing his
studies still farther he was gradu-
ated from the Stern Conservatory in
Berlin. The future virtuosos was
successfully first yiolinist of the Ber-
lin Theatre Orchestra, the Philhar-
monte and the Theodore Orchestra.
Since that time he has been a con-
spicuous figure on the concert stage
as the originator of violin lecture re-
citals, director of various violin and
ensemble departments in different
musical colleges and for his win
ming medals in his chose profess
sion."
Karl Riedelsberger announces the
organization of the Blackfoot branch
of his College of Music. He will be
assisted in the piano teaching by
Mrs. d. V. Archbold and Miss Clarie
Snyder. The vocal teacher will be
Miss Elsa Scharfenberg, a splendid
singer and fine teacher who comes
highly recommended from the East.
She is a graduate of the famous
Oratorio singer, Charles w. Clark of
Chicago, and fine pianist as well,
since she studied for number of
years with Emil Liebling.
Mr.. Riedlsberger will assume
charge of the advanced piano and
violin classes, and teach theory and
harmony as we'll. A series of facul-
ty concerts will be given under his
direction, and as soon as Miss Schar-
fenberger arrives from the East the
date of the first concert will be an
nounced.

Here Is a Chance.

The following article taken from
the Ladies' Home Journal, Is a very
correct criticism of the rank and file
of country newspapers and fake me-
dicine ads. This paper has cut out
the patent side" to get rid of the
fake medicine advertisements, and
we are going to much additional ex-
pense every week to give our readers
clean, wholesome reading matter that
Is free from the damaging influence
of fake advertisers. Now the ques-
ton is: Will the readers and the
local advertisers stand by 1t In this
move? Sentiment is all very well,
but 1t takes money to get up good
paper.
This is what the Journal says:
There is great work for the coun-
try women to do. The small country
paper, or local county paper as it is
often called, is rapidly becoming the
only remaining channel open to the
advertisement of the patent medi-
cine" quack. His advertisements
have now been pushed out of practi-
cally all the decent magazines and
weeklies; the religious papers are be-
ing compelled, under the pressure
of their readers, to throw them out,
and one by one the reputable daily
newspapers are falling into line. But
the small country paper and the agri-
cultural paper are still open to this
nefarious traffic, with the result that
the average village farm paper is
full of the advertisements that not
only are dastardly lies on their very
faces but have behind them so-called
medicines filled with alcohol, in
comparison with which beer or
brandy and other alcoholic stimu-
lants are harmless Sunday-school
drinks. There is little consistency
in the members of a Women's Christ
ian Temperance Union of small
community waging war on the local
bar or saloon 50 long as they allow
their country papers to be filled with
the advertisements of these alcohol
and opium filled drugs. At least,
the saloon sells whisky under the
name of whisky. 1t may be the
vilest kind of whisky, as it usually
is, but it is nevertheless called and
openly sold as whisky But those
quack nostrums. containing four or
five times, and in some cases ten
times, the amount of alcohol that the
beer does which these temperance
women so abhor are sold under the
cloak of medicines. A temperance
woman must not forget one fact: |
that when she supports the local pa

Booming Hamer for Congress.

A delegation of Fremont County
men went to Boise few days ago to
push the claim of Col. Thos. R. Ham
er for congress. They say he is en-
titled to the place by reason of his
service to. the party, that he is cap
able, and that they are after French s

into no more than chore boy for the

yet asked for anything, they are not
saying what their attitude will be
toward him if he comes up for office.

them; they are done with French,
and they want nothing to do with
anyone that ties up with our present

Paxton Tried and Acquitted.

Mr.. Paxton, the man who trains
horses to all kinds of stunts and
tricks, was hauled into court last
week on a charge of assault, and
again on a charge of handling gun
wrecklessly, but on one charge he was
acquitted, and the other case was
dismissed.
1t seems he had some trouble with
a neighbor about some business mat
tiers, and some very unpleasant af-
fairs grew out of it, which perhaps
all were at fault in. Both parties
are going about their business, and

ers John e. and James King came up
from Emery County and Park City

that he was in the habit of taking
morphine to induce sleep when he
was nervous or when he was suf-

this occasion he had taken an over

probably did not use due care in de-

Historian Comes to Town.

Mrs. L.. D. Rockey of Sugar City
was here last week gathering data
for The Idaho Historical Society at
Boise. They are getting ready to
publish history of Idaho, and ex-
pect to have it ready for the public
in about year. ,.....
The society is trying to get in
touch with the pioneers, to gather
facts about the early settlement Of
the territory. They (the pioneers)
are modest lot of folks, and are as
hard to find as quail, and when
found are generally reticent about
giving out any information the hap
pen to possess.
Mrs. Hockey says she is working
without remuneration, and finds 1t
rather discouraging sometimes when
people are found who know facts she
wants, and they prefer that she get
1t from somebody else.
The society Is gathering relics,
too, so If you happen to have a knife
that belonged to Chief Pocatello, or
the rifle used by Chief Joseph or the
bride used by Charlie Rainy, they
will be glad to have 1t in their col
lection, either as permanent fix
ture or as loan, to be returned to
you when you needle it in your bust
ness.
