Mr.. Brady has taken, but we be-

Mr.. Bryan will not probably be
a candidate for office again. He
does not seek Office for either
fame OF salary, and unless Neb
raska calls him to Office he has
closed his political career. II
has been like no other career in
ours or in any land. No other
man ever grew greater under
constant defeat. No other man
with two national defeats en- his
shoulders was ever welcomed by
kings and potentates as the rep.
resentative of his country. The
old world hailed Mr.. Bryan as
the typical American. Like
Henry Clay, he will never reach
the presidency, but he has made
a permanent impression on ou1
politics. He has forced reforms
upon the victorious party and
has compelled it to explain and
deny it's alliance with the trusts.
He has made it discreditable to
be dishonest in politics, and his
terrific words have made pred,
atory wealth shiver. All the re
forms that Mr.. Roosevelt has at.
tempted were suggested by Mr..
Bryan and openly adopted by
Mr.. Roosevelt. He has purified
politics as God purifies the sea,
by constant agitation. This de-
feat has not lessened the regard
of the American people for the
foremost private citizen. Mr..
Bryan is greater than before.

O1GOs AU HIS llOul6 III NudlllS,
Idaho, on Monday morning,
November Both, 1908, at $50
o'clock, Aaron H. Conover.
Aged 81 years and 2 months.
Mr.. Aaron H. Conover was an
early pioneer in the West. He
was born at Princeton, Morgan
county, Illinois, in October in
the year 1927, and crossed the
Plains with a small party of
emigrants, and arrived at what
is now Salt Lake City in 1847,
and helped to build the
adobe fort at Salt Lake in Sept
ember of that year before there
was a house, for protection
against the Indians. At that
time he was only 20 years of
age. On the 31st OF December,
1847, he was united in marriage
to Lucinda Wilson, who had come
out in the same train, and which
was probably the first wedding
in Salt Lake City. Mrs. Cenov-
er died in Challis some years
ago. AS a result of this union
there were born three daughters
and one son, of which two daugh-
ters are now living, viz: Mrs.
VIM. Elder and Mrs. Arch How
ell, who reside in Challis.
In the spring of 1849 Mr.. Con
over went to Placerville, Cal,
with Ben Holladay's train and
followed mining for 4 years. He
went back to Salt Lake and was
in the .. S. service as an Indian
scout. In 1862 he went to the
Orofno mining stampede; and
was in Bannock when there was
only one tent. In. the fall of
1862 Mr.. Conover started an ex-
press from Bannock to Salt
Lake, and on the first trip Clay
ton and Beane were killed by the
Indians. In the Spring of 1868
Messrs. Conover, Oliver & House
put on weekly stage line from
Bannock and Alder Gulch to
Salt Lake. AT one time the stage
was held up and 100000 in gold
dust taken, and at different times
the drivers were shot from their
seats. After Helena became a
mining center, Conover & Co.
put on stage line to Helena,
Deer Lodge, Missoula and to
Salmon City and Leesburg. Let
ters were carried at so cents
each, and express to correspond.
Mr.. Conover went out of the
stage business in 1867. He then
went to Salt Lake; then Nevada,
and went to Loon Creek in 1870.
The following fall we fad him
him in Bannock. In the spring
of 1871 he went to Lemhi county
and was in the employ of the
Indian service for two years. He
then returned to Salt Lake.
In the fall of 1877 he came to
Challis and has lived here ever
since, with the exception a few
years spent in mining at Elk
City and other places. In the
early pioneer days of the West
Mr.. Conover was in several In
dian battles.
Mr., Conover was a rugged old
pioneer, and up to few weeks
ago had wonderful vitality for
one of his age.
The funeral was held from the
home on last Wednesday after
noon, and was largely attended.
His remains were laid to rest be-
side those of his wife in the old
cemetery on the hill, south of
Challis.
Mr.. Conover was a generous
hearted man, and highly esteem
ed by all who knew him, and he
leaves behind besides his daugh-
terS, numerous relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. He
had passed his four score of
years, and his life's work is fin
ished. Rest in peace

ABOUT DIR. osLER.

It Is an old saying that doctors do not care to take their own prsscrip- tons. and it is also well understood that great many people refuse to take the advice they give to others. There's pr. osler. for example. All have heard of his pronouncement that people are worth nothing after they reach the age of sixty. and that after they pass that period they should be quietly chloroformed and put out of the way. Much comment was made on his absurd theory. and many ex- amples produced to show that his so- called discovery was full of holes. But his sins have oYertaken him. A few days ago he reached the 60 years
 limit and it is declared that he not only refuses to have himself chloro- formed, but that he doesn't like for any one te mention the subject to him. Having reached the point where he would be expected to take his medi- cine he sidesteps the proposition. and win not even argue the question with those who think he ought to set a good example. In short, he evidently looks on oslerism as a good thing to try on the other fellow, but doesn't want any of it administered to him. self.
 osler is plainly one of a type of which there are many specimens in this old world of ours. On the street corners and from the forum. on the stump and sometimes even from the pulpit, not to mention the public press, there are persons always ready to, give advice which they never follow. The advice may be good and whole some, and of the kind that would make for the betterment of the one to whom 1t Is given. but the giver in many cases refuses to accept it for himself. osler is crank, no doubt, and perhaps the only object he had in view was to create a sensation. It is possible of course that he was sincere in his theory. and really thought he was advo- eating what would be best for humanity but when it came to making a personal application of his absurd doctrine he was not equal to the test. We would be glad to hear what he has to say len veara hAncn
