Nicotine.

III excessive smoking alone could
cause heart degeneration writes cor
respondent OF the London Mail such
cases would be common instead Of eN-
tremcly rare. The fact is that only an
almost infinitcsimal amount of nicotine
Is absorbed In smoking. An ordinary
sized cigar or an ounce Of smoking to-
bacco contains enough OF this virulcnt
poison to kill two men. The only rea-
son all smokers sre not killed at once
Is that the nicotine is destroyed In the
combustion OF the leaf"

HEPBURN is WRONG AGAIN.

Senator Hepburn is great man
and statesman, but he sometimes
becomes the man Of one idea. He is
credited with opposing the addition
Of tract Of land to the Orofino
asylum for farming purposes on the
ground that If patients are allowed
to go out and work about the farm
they are liable to escape from the in
stitution and do harm to the inhabi-
tants Of the community. That this
would be an injustice to the neigh
bors.
This may be true. and granting
that 1t is, that reduces the matter to
question of whether the patients
are to be sacrificed in the interest
and security of>the neighbors, or the
best interests Of the patients is to be
regarded.
Many patients In such an institu-
ton need exercise and are better off
for being engaged in out-of-door
work, especially II that was their oc-
cupation before being afflicted. 1t
helps bring them back to their nor
NAL conditions, while being confined
in enforced idleness has the opposite
effect. 1t is a subject of common
remark that it is enough to drive a
sane person daffy to be confined in
idleness with a lot of insane per-
sons, and keeping those who are
mildly insane, occupied about the
farm, orchard and gardens is nat
ural and effective means of restoring
them. II a patient drops his tools
and steals away there is danger that
he may do harm.
Children playing at school have ac-
3cidents and somebody gets hurt on
the playground, but that is not suf-
ficient reason for keeping them in
their seats or In straight jackets.
Neither is the reason given above
sufficient for Hepburn preventing
the federal government from giving
the Northern Idaho asylum big
tract Of land on which to exercise the
patients, and incidentally, to raise a
lot Of stock, fruit and produce for the
use OF the institution.
We regard this as another one of
the senator's mistakes.

OUR APRIL ELECTION.

All the steps have been taken to
make Blackfoot a city of the second
class, and with the coming election
the first Of April. the new board will
be elected, consisting or two members
from each ward, and one member-at-
large, who shall be mayor.
The town has been divided into
four wards, the lines being Bridge
street and the railroad track.
The only issue in the election up
to the present time seems to be one
most of the people are agreed upon,
thereby almost changing it from an
issue to a feature, and that is to
start the new board off in series Of
improvements that shall make the
town more sanitary, more convenient
to get about in by having better
streets and sidewalks, better care Of
trees overhanging the sidewalks, so
that the limbs shall not be in the
way, the laying Of walks where neces-
sary to enable us to have free delivery
of and in general, an awakening to
action that shall place the town on a
crelitable footing in keeping with its
resources and surroundings.
Different citizens are taking time
to make up different tickets that are
being studied and worked over, and
1t is hardly probable that two tickets
will be placed in the field unless
some new issue is raised on which
there is a marked difference Of
opinion.

Representing the Payette high school
on the affirmative side of the ques-

In Payette Tuesday there was no
sunshine and consequently no shad-

reliance in the weather wisdom Of the
woodchuck than in the scientific pre-
dictions OF the government weather
bureau.
May the pikers who faithfully
promised their support and influence
for local option. and are now trying
to take a sneak, be shown the error
OF their ways and right about face,
brace up and keep their pledges with
the people. The mill Of the Gods
grinds slowly but grinds exceedingly
fine. When some Of these politicians
of ours get the final grind up there
will be need of strong tanning mill
to separate the little precious par
ticles from the abundance Of chaff.
Oh, 1t is simply awful. Awfully
simple, too. Pearl.

These and other questions we're rife
On the board Of trade yesterday when
the slump in wheat continued, prices
reaching a point eight or eight and half
cents below the record price Of last week
when Mr.. Patten declared wheat was
worth intrinsically every cent being paid
for 1t.
just week ago May wheat here sold
At s1.2oA, and July at s11sA. Mr..
Patten then denied that he had corner
in the two deliveries. Since then the
market has been declining in way in
which Tho ordinary followers Of Mr..
Patten have been unable to explain.
Yesterday the market opened extremely
weak. May sold at SI.21M early, 37S
cents under yesterdays close and SIS
below the high price Of laet week. July
declined 20 sl.io%, 31S0pBisc below
yesterdays close and siae under the
record Of last Friday. At these prices
the market steadied but showed no evil
dence Of reclperative power. Bears iu-
bilantly pressed their advantage. Stop
loss sales were numerous.
July near the close touched 109ss,
and May 1ef May closed at this figure,
and July was fractionally above It.
Armour, who ia recent interview
upheld Mr.. Patten's bulfish survey Of
conditions, and whose house was credited
with buying yesterday, was rumored to
be selling on the Liverpool market.
In the Bartlett Patten offices II was
stated that there Yves no reason to
change afny statement previously made
BY Mr.. Patten. The break in prices was
characterized as furry.
The eight cent decline has made a big
hole in paper profits, although TO what
extent no one can say, as no one knows
the extent Of the long lines held, or az
what price purchased. Also there have
been heavy actual losses among traders
whose resources have given out and these
