otter will make attractive a poem

A fine painter win light up each little
beauty in his pictures until the small

eye. 1t is only the mediocrity whose
work Is characterized by sameness and
lack of interest.-Strand Magazine.

We stop the press this morn
ing after printing a portion of
our edition, to state that Prof.
w. W. Webber, principal of the
Challis public school has mys-
teriously disappeared, and no
news of him had been received
him up to this u o'clock noon,
Monday, March 23rd.
He got up at o'clock on this
morning and left his room at the
hotel, and up to this time moth
ing has been heard of him. His
scholars assembled at the school
house at the usual time, and find
ing their teacher absent, notified
the public. Searching parties
went out but could not find him.
They telephoned to Antelope
and Dickey and he was not or
the stage. He evidently left
town on foot. Fears are enter
tanned by some that he has com
mitted suicide.

POOR
THING

Caldwell, Idaho, March 49,
Judge Wood today saved Harry
Orchard from the galiows. When
the prisoner was arraigned be-
fore him in the district court this
morning to receive sentence for
the murder of Frank Steunen-
berg, to which charge he entered
a plea of guilty Tuesday of last
week. Judge Wood pronounced
the death sentence, fixing May
10 as the date for execution, but
he recommended that the board
of pardons remit the extreme
penalty and that the sentence
imposed by the court be com
muted. The court not only rec
commended that such action be
taken by the board, but stated
that it was its duty so to do, un-
der the law.
If ever a person deserved tC
hang it is Orchard.

DEAR SIR The most excit-
ing feature of political life in
this section of the State is the
effort of certain prominent Dem
ocrats to get rid of the Mormon
issue and make a campaign on
National lines.
In some quarters this has been
taken as sort of personal fight
against Senator Dubois, but this
is not the case. AS this is Nat
ional year it is deemed the cor
rect thing to make National is
sues paramount and the fact, as
conceded by many eminent legal
lights of the State, that the
whole question will have to be
thrashed cut in the courts, fur
ther exploitation of the Mormon
question is deemed absolutely in
advisable.
| Now that Mr.. Dubois has come
out fiat-footed in favor of abso-
Lutte disfranchisement of the
Mormons, and the only way that
can be done is to insert the old
Test Oath, which is sort of ex-
post facto law, his program is
very obnoxious to leading Demo
Gratis.
Should the prohibition pre-
scribed by the constitution of
the State be deemed self-opera-
tive, as is altogether likely, then
in case it can be shown that the
Mormons still teach and practice
polygamy they stand disfranch-
ised by virtue of this constitu
tional provision.
As this is question of fact
that can be determined only by
I the courts, no political party can
settle it.
1t will have to go into the
courts, from the district to the
E supreme court, and when this
body passes upoa it that will be
the end of the controversy.
Word is received here from
nearly every county ia the State
. in effect that the revolt against
!. the further exploitation of the
!, Mormon question is spreading
with great rapidity and it is con
= fdentlS asserted that Ada, Boise,
Canyon, Elmore, Lincoln, Blaine
! Owyhee, Idaho and Nez Perez
e counties will send delegates tt
% both State conventions in favor
>, of making Bryan and Nationa
l. issues paramount and cutting
~ out the Mormon question. En-
70 couraging word has been receiv
70 ed from Latah county and tn
~ entire southeast will be in lin
70 also.
The invitation of the Stat
II Democratic committee to th
st American party, should any b
It, organized, to send delegates t
ok Democratic convention is meet
. . ing with practically universe
ye opposition.
d. The fact that such prominer
X men as Judge Stockslager, Kan
So, Paine, K. l. Perky, John Mug
~ ~ ent, James II. Hawley. and man
ht others, are out for campaig
to be fought on National line:
especially in view of the faC
that some of these mentione
have been ardent supporters {
hi, the Dubois program in the pas
Of is significant of the change tina

er- back to broad National lines.

fore part of last week.

1t is good fishing in Saline n
river now. Several 4 and 5
pound bull-trout and pound
red-sides have been laaded. In
a couple of weeks the big to 18
pound Salmon trout will be up.
Judge Wood says that he be-
lieves that Harry Orchard told
the truth. That being the case
why does he ask the board of
pardon to commute his sentence
to life Imprisonment, which in
probably means pardon ? Is this
the proper example to set to
uphold law and order? If Orc
ard told the truth he is the most
noted cold blooded murderer OF
the age and should be hung on
the nearest telephone pole or
shot down like a.dog.
The public schools all over the
country since the great loss of
life by fire in the Cleveland, o.,
school house, are undergoing a
thorough inspection to avoid, if
possible, similar occurrance.

pear from the scene and the piece of rascalty that
the letter suggested would be carried just well

He turned sharply away from the which
his eyes had been resting he could bear any
longer to look at it.
Turning thus he stood face to face with the only
remaining monument of his predecessor Gregg: the
thick walls glowering caves, and heavily suffered
windows of Fort House. 1t looked it's name, some
how this afternoon looked little like medieval
castle, where oldtime baron would shut himself
up in stormy times like these and wait for better.

Smith smiled little at the train his fancy was
following and experienced a curious sort of whim-
steal regret that it wasn't two three hundred years
ago. Then suddenly the smile disappeared from his
lips, his eyes widened litt1e,-grew dull with the
intensity of abstraction into which thought
had plunged him
For full minute he scarcely breathed. Then his
eyes grew bright again. and he laughed 1t not
the sort of laugh that the writer of the letter would
have cared to hear
WITH word of apology for his hardness, Smith
dropped into his chair at the head of the
table His glance travelled swiftly from face to face,
and in everyone of them, different they all were,
he dscerned stanchness, devotion, and loyalty to
himself that he must soon put to the test
He had looked forward to this moment with dis
tinct of dread so hong it seemed that it
