pretty WE'LL and we may see more Of
him and his associates.
We told him about the farmers In

COMMERCIAL CLUB ORGANIZED.


Monday evening about so or 20 OF
the leading men of Blackfoot met at
the office of the probate court to or
ganize a commercial club and were
addressed by +. C. Bowman of Idaho
Falls, who spoke very interestingly
on the advantages to town and the
country tributary to it, Of having a
commercial club. ne also told of
some very practical working plans
that might be followed to help the
club to succeed.
l.. r. Thomas was elected temper
airy chairman and X. P. Brown tenn
porary secretary. Committees were
appointed to carry the work of or
ganization forward, and report at an
other meeting to be held at the court
house Monday evening at 1880.
Permanent Organization - Alex
Younie, d. r. Jones, JAS, Duckworth,
F. E. DeKay and w. H. Stufflebeam.
Soliciting members: X. P. Brown,
e. NJ. Kennedy, Fred Murphey, w. H.
Boyd, Jas. G. Bond.
Constitution and By-Laws--Geo. F.
Gagon, c. v. Fisher. A. G. Robert.
Chas. Hart, H. B. Curtis.
Quarters for the club-Lewis Rock
wood, W. H. Scott, Harry Bennett,
II. w. Rowles, Harold Parkinson.
So far as outlined, it is the plan to
have a club in which all can come
together on equal footing, from the
humblest working man who is inter-
ested in getting better conditions and
more business and more settlers In
the country to the ablest business
man. 1t is to be an organization to
deal with all public or semi-public
questions that do not belong to the
municipal government nor to any
other body in particular but which
may affect anybody or everybody.
The membership fee will doubtless
be fixed at ten dollars, and dollar q
month dues. The money will be
used to provide quarters for their
meetings and to carry on any work
they undertake for public good.
Farmers and stockraisers areseligi-
Bile and are considered as much in
terested as anyone, and it is expected
that the membership will be over a
hundred at the next meeting, more
than half that number having signed
up and paid in eleven dollars apiece
before the first meeting was called.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

Nothing in the world is so fascin-
ating and satisfactory as to be able
to render on the piano a beautiful
musical selection with perfection.
This has been made possible by mar
velous inventions of recent years the
greatest and most wonderful Of
which is the PIANOLA PIANO now
on exhibition at the EILERS PIANO
North Main Street. Embodied
in this truly glorious instrument is
the Metrostyle attachment, which por-
trays perfectly the authors interpre-
tation. The greatest feature, how
ever, is the ThermOdist attachment,
which when turned on, clearly ac-
cents so perfectly that one cannot but
believe that a human being -is-man-
ipulating the keys. T6 all who have
not seen this great player, a cordial
invitation is extended by Mr.. Rogers,
who will take pleasure in demonstrat-
ing same. There is on exhibition
now at the Eilers Piano House, the
largest and most elegant number OF
pianos ever shown in Idaho. 1t will
indeed, be revelation to many of
the citizens of Blackfoot II they will
call and see for themselves.

STRUCK BY THE TRAIN.

Heber C. C. Rich and Grover Rich
and wife were struck in. their COW
cred hack Wednesday morning at
1880 by the passenger train at the
crossing half a mile above town. Mr..
H. c. c. Rich and the lady were both
severely injured and both horses
killed outright.
They we're all in the front seat
and had the side curtains down. They
trotted up to the track and were
struck by the engine unawares. The
horses were thrown off about 70 feet
below the crossing, and the vehicle
was thrown upward and back from
the track. The three persons found
themselves on the ground beside a
moving train, hardly knowing how it
was done. Mrs. Rich was cut aid
bruised about the head and face, he i
a cut in her temple and one ear
badly cut. Heber Rich was badly
hurt in one hip, and was taken to the
hospital at Ogden that night. Grover
was only slight bruised.
The train emerges from a cut at
this crossing, and is dangerous
place. The roadmaster ordered an
electric gong put in some time ago
but it has not been done. The dirt
piled out along the cut should be
hauled out to grade up the road and
fill up the low places about the cross
ing, SO that the train would not be so
much hidden when approaching from
the north.
A very similar accident happened
at the same place only few weeks
ago.
