ACCIDENT IN WOLVERINE.

Amessie CroOney shot himself Sun
day in Wolverine Canyon by handling
a gun the wrong way. and the loss
OF an arm is the result.
He was out with, the family OF
William Twitchell, and they were
coming down the canyon, the two
boys in the wagon. and the Others
walking behind the vehicle. A little
colt running by the side of its mother
came between the wagon and some
rocks by the roadside, and young
Crooney, who was holding shot gun.
reached out to punch the colt with
the butt Of the gun to urge it ahead.
The lock struck the doubletree, and
the contents of the gun passed
through the arm near the shoulder,
carrying away section of the bone,
and elaving the arm hanging only by
q little flesh on each side.
Crooney jumped out Of the wagon
and ran to the creek several hundred
feet away and began bathing the arm.
The others got out table cloth from
the lunch baskets and bandaged the
wound and hurried him to their
home. then summoned physician
and the arm was amputated. The
boy did not lose consciousness at any
time during all this trip and the ope-
ration of amputating the arm.

A GREAT BOOST.

What The Diamond Jubilee is do.
ing for Blackfoot keeps coming to
light as we note the results, and 1t ia
interesting to note them.
Blackfoot was the most-talked- OF
town in Idaho for couple OF weeks
before the celebration, because OF
what Blackfoot was preparing to eel
citrate. 1t was the most talked OF
place for couple Of weeks afterwards
because there was grand discussion
going on to see II what we claimed
about early history was correct, and
It was found to be substantially as
advertised by the publicity men at
Blackfoot.
Within ten days after the celebra-
tion, lengthy accounts Of 1t were pub
lished In twelve big newspapers scat
tered all over the country, and Cover
nor Brady's splendid booster speech
was widely copied. On Sunday, July
10th, 1t was read before the national
convention Of Christian Endeavorers
at Minneapolis, and was received with
marked interest.
Every big town In the west is seek
ing some means OF attracting atten-
tion to itself, and some OF them are
expanding large sums Of money to do
It. Governor Brady said that Boise
had made less stir about itself with
$4,000 spent In advertising than
Blackfoot had with its Diamond Jubi-
less, and we spent only little over
thousand dollars for the celebration,
and less than 200 advertising It,
all Of that being spent with printing
houses within hundred miles OF
home.

that the fly is really about the mos

that II one is ever SO hungry, and he

This organization has card out with
pictures, showing how the fly is a
good deal like the Democratic party,
and while 1t likes sugar, it will eat
a good many things which are not
half SO sweet. Then the fly is not
fastidious; it will 60 from some food
that is not very pure with it's beak
and Its feet more or less tainted by
that food, and will light on your
roast turkey or your angel cake, and
more especially in the cream pitcher,
and hence this card that we have is

not to let 1t come in the house, not to
permit 1t to come near your food,
and most especially milk. Then it
warns people not to buy of those

their food which they serve to their
customers to keep of the flies, and

Decree Be Damned.
It looks like very poor logic to have
to flood the roads and the neighbors
to obtain or perfect our title to water
that we have owned for twenty years
It would seem more In line of justice
to have each company forfeit some
thing for taking out more water than
they can use in the season of scar
city. It would appear to us to be a
rather rotten title that we could get
by imposing our waste water on the
travelling public and on other peo-
PIES fields in August.
Fact is we are getting little sore
on this decree talk anyhow. Settlers
over the river went half clad and
poorly fed for years making the first
canals, and about six years ago an
effort was made to have all water
rights established by decree Of the
cour. after taking evidence to deter
mine what the rights were.
For couple Of years we had pa
thence and tried to keep track Of 1t,
and kept telling the expectant public
that In short time the decree would
be fiished ad they would be notified
OF their standing In the matter. Sew
eral times we made dates for them to
have such information, and each date
passed quietly without any decree be.

ONE more effective means Of finding

richards.
In the meantime we advise water
lasters to remember that title to

It; not by squandering it. And

NEED A WHIPPING.

We wish to direct the attention O
the city council to the fact that not
withstanding their notices to peopl
to clean UP their premises and to re
Il move or disinfect all effete matte
about their places, there are home.
where these things are a menace ant
nuisance. and the strong arm Of the
city government should be invoked
to compel indifferent residents to pu,
their premises in such condition that
the health of the neighbors shall not
be in jeopardy.
There are people who simply en-
dure bad sanitary conditions because
they we're raised that way, and II
they realize the bad effects OF 1t they
grow accustomed to that too, and live
on In the bad atmosphere until ma
ture exacts the penalty through some
deadly disease.
It Is not always the lazy child that
needs whipping; he may be active
enough, but active in the wrong way,
and bringing him to account may be

they remarked the great numsber of
old water-closets not fit to 60 within
q hundred feet Of. With proper san
itary conditions about their homes
they should have the minimum of
sickness. yet as matter of fact they
have had great deal Of sickness,
and when an effort was made by
Governor Brady to have the reform
school Band come down to particle
pate In and furnish music for The
Diamond Jubilee, he was confronted
with the fact that owing to the raw
ages of typhoid fever they would
probably be unable to come, and they
did not. It was said that the COM
munity furnished seventy-seven cases
during the spring and early summer,
and the wonder is that they did not
have more, considering the conditions
