A Bad Reputation.

Boise correspondence Salt Lake Tribune: From
remarks dropped by the boilers from the Twin Falls
convention it is evident that this maodorous gang
proposes to put Frank Martin at the head of the
church crowd as leader. This is eminently fitting,
Martin is arragned as a law-breaker. This is why
the church crowd in Idaho take to him. This is
why the Salt Lake hierarchy would like him pushed
to the front 1t is the old story of birds of feather
federal grand jury in indictment returned
says he is guilty of completely in timber land frauds
He poses as democrat and Perky Perky, who, with
Judge Nugent, led the rioters at Twin Falls in a talk
here said that Frank Martin will bring the demo-
cratic party as many votes Fred Dubois could
bring to it." This remark will be resented by every
democrat in the state outside of the small faction of
boilers.
Frank Martin is not democrat He is put for
ward by the Salt Lake hierarchy through the boilers
here He has been voting the republican ticket for
the last three elections, before the Mormon
question was raised and he is the Mormon represen-
tative in Idaho democratic politics and responsible
for the course of the Capital News of this city, an
organ for the Salt Lake hierarchy.
of the state in 1902. This charge has not been
denied He is charged with furnishing the material
to vfy and SANDER the late Governor Hunt and
which resulted in the defeat of the latter.
1t is we'll that Frank Martin is to become the
leader of the boilers, the church crowd Should be
take the stump this campaign in behalf of the church
crowd he will be asked many pointed questions that
only to his face but to extend away back upon his
bald head There is not friend of the late Gov
Hunt in the state but detests Martin and these
voters will be present at the meetings when Frank
Martin speaks should be so decide But he will not
take the stump.

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

acquired the knack of posing and soaring but they
made the discovery that slight alteration in the
binary double-banked Chanute type of glider gave
them something as perfect stability, and, at any
rate, CONTROL of the machine in md-air. 1t is
very slight affair." for outwardy their aeroplane does
not differ apparently from that of Mr.. Farman,
M. Deagrange, that of Mr.. Cody which is still
in the experimental stage, and under tarpaulins in
shed at the office balloon factory Marlborough
This secret of theirs is not much difference in
the framework of the fat-yng, boX-lke kite appar
atuS as simple adjustment of two parts.
The hard facts in the Wrights discovery of how
to build and manage aeroplane device to
give almost perfect equilibrium in the air 1t is not
necessary that the machine should be driven to main
tain its equlpoise, for it bird upon the
wing, and come down in safety without the aid of
motor machinery. That the Wrights have done
again and again and they stop the motor in mid
air and descend gently to earth Nor does their ap-
paratus require great engine power or being driven
at high speed to keep in the air. They go sailing
along comfortable at eight ten miles hour as
easily as at sixty miles 1t is to be noticed that
their machine now being experimental with has but
a 20-hOrSe-pOWer motor
when the Wright brothers were recently in
France and England they offered their invention to
the authorities but they declined to pledge them
selves to sell to only one power. They were invent
ors, and they guaranteed to produce make flying
machine and teach others how to it, to do and
for round sum. At the war office in London
as III Paris, they wished to get too much for too
little, and the Wrights returned home and declined
to trade. One of the propositions made in London
was that they should make and sell machine that
would fly at such rate and such a distance for
$4,000, with the suggested proviso that if more were
required the government would buy up to ten ma
chimes at the same price, $4,000 each They re-
jected the proposal to start building aeropanes in
England. 1t may be assumed that the government
have spent $4,000 and more already upon dirigible
balloons and aeroplane experiments in Scotland and
at marlborough The Wrights would have within
two months shown them the secret of their apparatus
and taught half dozen officers to fly from Farm
borough to St. Pauls and back with more speed and
surety and less regard for the weather than is like
ly to be achieved this decade by drigb1es. 1t is
the power of being able to rest securely cushioned
upon the air with their glider with of without power
impulse that has solved the long-vexed problem of
aerial navigation.

Not to be Stampeded.

That Senator Burrows, temporary chairman of the
republican convention, stumbled in undertaking to
utter the name of Theodore Roosevelt during the
progress of his speech is part of the account of
the proceedings of that gathering Whether it
a lapse of memory, twist of the tongue or in
tention to work up to the name by slow approaches
is not stated. One of the newspaper writer's de-
picts the episode:
Senator Burrows evidently felt just little bit
excited over the mention of the president for he had
some difficulty in pronouncing the well-known name
He referring to the convention of four years
ago when he said, invoking continuance of public
favor the party placed in nomination for the office
of president of the United States "Theo-Belt-
"The- "a Rose"
The senator stopped, mumbed for moment and
then said "The-sorre-" He stopped and in the
growing wave of applause of those who recognized
for whom the name was intended, he said
Theodore Roosevelt
Is the listening public to suppose that the temper
airy chairman was following the advice of Hashmura
Togo in one of his Japanese schoolboy letters to
Golfers in which the convention proceedings were
forecasted? Hashimura Togo said:
"Fon Borrows will resume Hon. Chair as a very
much instructed Delegate He are instructed to look
patrotick but not to act too nervous about it. He
must do nothing to stampede them Convention. A
room full of Delegates are like yard full of mule
horses They shy about sudden noises. They
have animal natures. They very anxious to enjoy
a stampede. If Hon. Temp. Chairman say Roose-
ve1tp of sudden with voice, then such kick-over
snort hoof-tramp squeal & panderonium might en-
that Hon. Roosevelt might be nominated before
Hon. Fire Dept. could burst in & put out enthusiasm
with wet hoses Temp Chairman must arouse Re
publicans in soothing sort of way
1t is likely that Mr.. Burrows had a temporary
attack of stage fright and stumbled until he recov-
cred himself There was nothing wild in the eye Of
that convention The assemblage was tame that
it could have been led by string, and in fact it was
The "kck-over, snort hoof-tramp, squeal & pander-
onum" not in it. 1t couldn't have been SIAM
peded to Roosevelt to any else.
1t quietly and submissively for Taft and that
was the end of its expectations desires. Of total
of 979 votes the first ballot Mr. Taft received 702
and when it was known through official announce
ment that he was the nominee the applause not
at all like the mad shout of exultant crowd.
The convention accepted the result as a conclusion
provided for in advance.
When it is remembered that something like $780,
900 was expended by the Taft family to secure the
nomination for its favore son. it will be concluded
that the convention looked upon the transaction in
rational business like way.

Wants Taxes Refunded.

Mr.. john L. Hunter, Of this county,
will petition the general assembly at
its coming session to refund to him
the sum Of $150.77 which amount he
has paid as taxes to the several coun-
ty treasurers of N M|ewberry county
from the year 1876 to 1906. 1t seems
that Mr.. Hunter for thirty-one years
had assessed to him ninety-two acres
Of land more than he really owned.
He did not discover this fact until a
few months ago when he had cause
to nave survey made Of his planta-
tion. At his request Auditor Crom-
er has prepared a statement showing
the assessment per acre, thel number
Of mills levy, and the sum Of over
paid taxes for each year. In all pro-
liability an act will be passed direc.-
ing the treasurer to repay Mr.. Hun
ter the sum due him.

HORSE AND MULE DROWNED.
Colored Man Sustains Loss of His
Team in Swollen Stream
Saturday.

Bill Clark and his wife, Julia, col
cred, who reside near Gary'S Lana,
this county, mel with i serious acci-
dent Saturday afternoon last. The
man ana woman, who seem to be very
good colored people, had come to
Newberry that ay on business, COM
ing in their wagon, to which was
hitched a mule and a horse.
The hard rain which fell that day
caused all the streams about here to
rise very much. Clark and his wife
left in the afternoon for their home,
expecting to find the creeks low
enough to permit them to cross with
out any danger. When they came to
the Meredith creek. just beyond the
village Of Helena, they found it was
up Some, but as it was only a small
stream, they thought there would be
10 difficulty in corssing, as they had
no load on the wagon.
The little stream was much deep
er than they counted on. however,
and hardly had they gone into it be-
fore the swift waters were carrying
them and their team down stream.
The horse and mule struggled hard
to pull to the other bank but the
strong current and wagon we're too
much for them. Before he could
hardly realize his condition, the ne
gro saw both animals go down in the
water.
It is almost a miracle that the mali
and woman were not drowned also.
The. loss of the mule and horse is a
severe blow to the old darkies. The
wagon was not damaged to any ex-
tent.

Rain Does Damage.

One Of the heaviest rains about
here in some time was the one Satur-
day last. About 2 o'clock In the at
ternooh the downpour of water had
become so great that the water mans
on College street, near the corner OF
Main, could not carry it off. The
water burst through the mains and
the street was flooded for some mlnu-
tes. The cellar Of the Ewart-Perry
Company was almost filled with wat
er. It seemed for few minutes that
the store Of J. G.. Sample would be
flooded, but by hard and fast wore
some of the flooring was removed
permitting the stream of water to run
into the cellar. Mr.. Sample surfer
ed some damage, however, vegetaofe
and other things in the front part O
the store being soaked.

he found three mOurners looking
earnestly into his face. Ed. Hartman
was one Of these. he being charged
with passing few: unfriendly blows
al \ "ulu:e:; w.man. Lila Darlington
by name. Ed said he was guilty. and
! had handed out II MIN four dollars
or ten days. 1t turned out at the

profanity and handled a briekbat dur
ing affray, so she was notified to

fines We're paid.
George Whitener was suspicioned
as being on too intimate terms with
Intoxicating liquors. George was up
at Laurens last Thursday. Now. that
city has a Cary-Cothran dispensary
in its midst. Policemen Adams and
Franklin visited Georges house Fri
day morning and found several quarts
Of Laurens booze. The prisoner ad-
mitted his guilt, and was told that
fifty dollars would keep him from
shovelilg for the next thirty days..
There was also a charge against
George for selling a small amount of
the stuff that is almost as strong as
Burt Hudson. This was continued to
Monday morning, at which time the
defendant said he wasn't guilty. But
the mayor said he was guilty, and
commanded him to hand the clerk
twenty-five dollars, or to report to
Superintendent Epting for another
thirty day period.
Allen Cannon, as black as they ev-
er get to be, and with lips as thick
as the latest arrival from Africa S
sunny shore, was up for stealing two
oranges from one Of the Lambrey
fruit stores. He said ne coufdn' Il
say "not guilty. and he just said
"no sab" when the charge was read.
The young man who testified against
him was positive that ''dat was a da
niggah who stole a dem orange
and Allen must raise clearing house
certificate with Y on it, or have
mud on his shoes for fifteen days. ="
