.HEYBURN--BRADY
Bonner County Convention Aug. Y,
Primaries July e.

Pursuant to call, the Republican
Central Committee met at Sand
point last Wednesday. The meet
ing was we'll attended, there being
but five absentees, one of these be-
ing out of the state and another
probably not receiving his Motif
cation in time. There were but
five proxies. A large number of
prominent Republicans from the
various precincts, other than the
committeeme en-, were also in attend
ance.
The first business transacted was
to determine the manner of select
ing the delegates to the Wallace
Convention which meets May II.
On motion of Thos. J. Jones of
Bonners Ferry, it was decided to
have the committee select the dele
gates, rather than call conven-
ton.
J. K. Ashley, Jr., of Standpoint
than moved that the following be
selected as the ten delegates to
represent Bonner County at the
State convention:
]. A. BROWN, GEO. R. BARKER,
S. D. TAYLOR, A. CHRISTENSEN.
C. r. BURNS, FIJI LUCE,
FRED KELLER, J. w. RAMSEY,
H. H. TAYLOR, REV. V. W. ROTH.
Committees were next appointed
as follows:
On time and place of holding the
county convention Fred J. Kel-
Ter, John Fritsche, A. j. Clark.
On apportionment of delegates
----.Jc'hn-A Steinlein, Thos. J. Jones
c. j. Finstad.
On Resolutions-J A. Brown,
Geo. r. Barker, Thos. J. Jones,
John Larson, and H. S. Fry.
After the appointment of the
committees, the chairman an
nounced that Hon. James H.
Brady, chairman of the Republi-
can State Central Committee, was
in the city, and suggested that he
be invited to address the meeting.
On motion the chair appointed
Geo. R. Gray of Boomers Ferry
and w. f. Whitaker of Standpoint to
escort Mr.. Brady and Mr.. Fallon
to the court room. Mr.. Brady's
appearance was greeted with much
enthusiasm, and on being present
ed to the meeting, made an elo-
quent talk of few minutes, which
was warmly received. He pre-
dicted not less than 10000 majority
for the Republican ticket in Idaho.
Hon. Joseph P. Fallon, an as
pirant to succeed Congressman
French, was next introduced, and
spoke eloquently on general issues.
The chairman than asked the
committee to perform another
function and bring home pro-
duct " before the meeting in the
person of Hon. H. II. Taylor. Mr..
Taylor was warmly received and
his remarks were applauded. As
Mr.. Taylor was one who bulted a
part of the ticket two years ago his
advise to settle all party differ
ences in party conventions and
support the ticket nominated by
the majority was significant.
At the conclusion of the speak
ing, a recess was taken to permit
the committee to consider the bust
ness and report.
Upon the reassembling Of the ccm-
mittee, the reports were taken up.
Mr.. Keller from fine committee
to select the TIME and place for, the
county convention read the report
recommending Standpoint as the
place to hold the convention, ano

the primaries to be held on Mon
day, July 20. The report was
adopted.

ment of delegates, through Chair

Militia Captain
COURT is ALSO CRITICIZED
Official Order Issued to the Iowa Ma
tionaI Guard Bearing the Reprim and
- kuIp Had No Excuse, Says the
Governor-Inciden Closed so Far as
Records Arc Concerned.
Special to rlmes-Republlcan.

Des Moines, Jan. "a severe repri-
mand, the punishment fixed by the
court martial in the case of Capt. ..
w. kulp, of Davenport, has been for
undated by Governor Cummins and IS
being transmitted to the Iowa National
Guard thru Adjutant General Thrift.
This closes the incident so far as the
officials of the guard are concerned.
Governor Cummins severely criti-
cised the court martial for it's remark
able finding in the reprimand admin
istered to Captain kulp in accordance
with that recommendation.
In this connection the governors or
der says:
with the foregoing record and SEN
tence the court martial submitted GER
tain suggestions and recommendations
Among them are the following:
"First-That the accused had, until
this occurrence, an excellent record as
an officer of the Iowa National guard.
"Second--That he was to some eX-
tent affected by local sentiment and
influence.
"rhird-That he was a frank witness
and his apparent effort to carry out
the letter of the order, even tho ne
erred in interpreting it. are worthy OF
note; but the court adds that he dld
not do all he should have done pur-
suant to the order. and 1t calls atten-
ton to the fact that obedience TO or
ders ia the first duty of soldier, re-
CARELESS of personal consequences, ano
that the accused in failing to observe
this duty had marred AN otherwise ex-
celent record as Soldier.
"The court further suggests to me
that while the accused did not Wilfully
>disobey the order given him, yet either
thru ignorance or negligence he falled
to carry 1t out; that the order was
not so specific but that he might have
been led to believe that discretionary
power was granted him to determine
whether the exhibition was in fact
prize fight: that the exhibition took
place, by his permission, while 1t
might have lacked some of the ele-
ments of a prize fight was certainly
one that should have been prevented
under the order received, and in ms
failure to prevent the same the ac-
cused erred; that tho he thought he
had discretionary power. he should
have, communicated with the COM
mander- in chief. and advised him OF
the proposed change in the exhibition,
and that in failing to do SO he clear
ly violated the military rule that en-
joins upon all subordinates the duty of
advising commanders whenever posi-
BILE of changed situations.
"The above is the substance Of the
paper accompanying the record and
sentence, in so far as it is material to
the matter in hand, and it is due to the

Burlington, Jan. 6.-Ice men along
interior cities who depend on natural
ice as their commodity. are uneasy.
Unless conditions change soon there
will not be enough natural ice har-
vested to keep the Sunday supply OF
beer cool in the dry river towns.
The river is not closed, and there
is not much prospect of it closing soon,
unless a blizzard from Medicine Hat
should suddenly drop down this way.
This is the third season that the
channel has remained open and the ice
men are wondering when it will end
are also taking an interest in the mat
ter beyond the ordinary. They do not
face the prospect of another summer OF
high prices with any great amount OF
pleasure, and the public is entirely in
sympathy with the desire of the ice
dealers for several weeks of cold
weather.
Usually at this time of the year the
river is closed up tightly and the ice
harvest is in full operation.
With the delayed closing the har-
vest is bound to be rush job, for re-
CARELESS of how soon it closes now it
cannot attain d sufficient thickness to
be harvested for some time to come.
Then with delays that are always Ii
able to occur even should the river
close now and there should be intense
freezing weather from this time on
ward. the harvest could not be COM
menced for two or three weeks or
even a month, and would necessarily
last far over into February. AT that
used for domestic purposes, will be-
come rotten and possibly break up.
But everything is being gotten ready
around the houses for packing as soon
as the ice is of the proper thickness,
so that there will be no delays when
the weather man has done his part
Because of the large number of idle
men to be found in the city is is antici-
pated the packers will have no trouble
in securing help at prices considerably
lower than has been paid during the
last winter or two. But many of these
idle men are men who know nothing
of the business and are not accustomed
connected with this kind of work, so it
is presumed after all that there will be
no great rush of laborers to these jobs.

had to be amputated at the middle
joint. On the day following, Clint
came to town to get things in shape
and get ready to move to Tennessee.
He tied his team near the Nicola ele-
vator. AS the morning freight was
pulling in the team became fright
ened, and in trying to keep them from
breaking loose, one of the horses
kicked him in the left side, fracturing
two ribs. The doctor said but for the
fact that his pocket was full of books
and the blow struck them thus break
ing its force, he would have been
killed. He is doing nicely.
