state funds be expended to lift so
largely the common every day life
of the people to higher levels?
In harmony with these sugges-
tions the ladies of the Gem of the
Mountain club arranged series of
meetings a year ago that were the
most successful, from an educational
stand point, ever held in this city
Patrons were given an opportunity
to inepeet samples of the real work
done III the school room, TO hear
talks and papers on points of vital
interests to them as parents aud to
take part freely Ia discussions as
well as witnsss real class work being
done by the pupils.
Previous to this the club had done
some one thing or another each year
that would benefit the schools, not
ably among Its work being the Art
Exhibit, by means of which suitable
pictures were procured for the
school rooms. But the real interest
awakened through the educational
meeting of last year has convinced
the ladies that an Educational day
each year, conducted according to
the plan of last year, will do much
toward arousIng and maintaining
public sentiment for good schools
The school board, superintendent
and teachers all heartily agree will
THE plan and are cooperating t,
make this meeting worth while t,

"The state of Idaho was never in
better financial condition than it is
at the present time" said State
Treasurer Hastings, in talking with
a representative of the Lewiston
Teller last Monday. Continuing
Mr.. Hastings said:
"The state has lo6 repositories
in which funds in the amount of
81, 100000 is on deposit, all bear
ing interest. The interest earned
through the state treasurer's office
for the use of public funds during
the month Of April amounts to S3,-

of Sl13.57, and since the first of
January 1t has averaged s95 per day
for four months, the total interest
earned since January l being $lo,'

MONTPELIER FIRE DEPARTMENT
ADOPTS TELEPHONE ALARM SYSTEM
Viii Install the System at once at Cost Of About
S45O--Wll Have "A Phones Citizens Con-
tribute Literally to the Department.

At a meeting of the Volunteer
Fire Department last Monday night
1t was decided to adopt the telephone
fire alarm system, of which mention
was made in last weeks issue, at
cost of about $3.50. A committee
composed of Henry Whitman, Z.
NJ. Stewart, Frank Miles and ]. F.
Perkins, was instructed TO purchase
the material and supelintend the
installation of the system.
The committee which solicited
contributions from the business men
met with hearty response, while
many of the citizens in the resi-
dence districts contributed in sums
ranging from 81 to SO. The total
amount secured By contribution was
close to $3.50.
The balance required for install

May IA WILL Be
EDUCATIONAL DAY
Gem of the Mountain Club Cooperating
with Montpelier Schools for Good
Program on That Day.

The annual ear book of the First
District Federation of Women's
Clubs of Idaho, has brief outline
Of the work of standing committees.
In reference to the work of eduGa
tion we qnote the following from 1T;
sThe criticisms of our educational
system; the broadening ideals under
lying the same, are hopeful signs of
the times and to-day nothing less
than the education of the whole
man, the education of the heart, the
training of the physical and the cut
ture of the mind, is demanded. che
present chaotic condition resulting
from this evolutioa Of ideals and
methods has forced the cry for har-
monizing activities along this line,
and the National Educatiodal Asso-
citation has organized department
known as "The Department OF Fdn-
cational work by National Organl-
zation of Women" In planning
their work this society invites the
cordial cooperation of every state
and of every club woman. So here
we may clasp hands with fellow
workers of every state in the Union. ;
AID among suggestions for com
mittee work is the following: "Co
operation with superintendent ant
teachers in parents meetings and il
visiting the schools; Educationa
Day in each federated club; stud
of school equipment, sanitation
expenses, and most of all, of tn,
individual child, as to health, schoc
: spirit, etc., remembering that it
, for him and the nation of which b
constitutes a unit, that the who

next month as means of raising
money with which to purchase some
much needed equipment for tho de-
partment. Several of the members
are heartily in favor of minstrel
show and if 1t Is decided to put 1t
on, they promise that it will be a
cracker jack.
The department is entitled to
great credit forlthe interest it has
taken since its organization in build
ing up the equipment and in pushing
the matter of establishing an ade-
quate alarm system. The result of
its efforts shows what can be ac-
complished by even small body of
men who have the interests of the
city at heart and who start out with
a determination to do something.
| When the alarm system is install
ed we confidently believe that Mont.
pelier can boast of having the best
ire fighting equipment of any town

there was long article from the pen
of Cole Younger, one of the famous
Younger Bros, whose deeds of out

outlaws came to an end with the at
tempt to rob the Northfeld, Mimi,
bank. In this raid several of the
party were killed, while Bob, Jim
and Cole Younger were captured
and after quick trial were sent to
prison for life. Bob died in prison,
and iu July, 1901, Cole and Jim
were paroled, having served few
months less than 25 years.
In his article Cole tells the story
of the Mortified bank robbery
For several weeks prior to the rob-
berry Cole and Bob Younger stopped
at St. Peter, Mimi, and Cole re-
lates how he became acquainted
with a little girl, who In later years
became an earnest worker for tn,

carbonate kind and has assayed as
high as 10 per. cent lead and over

The force has lately been increas-
ed to double shifts and Mr.. Kunz
says that they soon expect to ship

to incorporate in the near future

the market in order to raise funds
with which 10 erect suitable build

other facilities needed on the pro-

Mr.. Kunz says that several exper-
fenced mining men who have In
spected the property lately pro-
nounced it the best undeveloped
mining property III the country
Further inspection is invited by all
who are interested in mining.
Mr.. Kunz and those connected
with him are feeling very jubilant
over their prospects. They intend
to push the development work, but
in exploiting the properly they will
confne themselves to honest work,
avoiding all semblance of wild cat

PEELED Miss Perry to come west.
She spent several years in Idaho,
and during the writer's management
of the Pocatello Advance, she was
employed one year as local editor.
During the campaign of 1900, we
believe it was, Miss Perry conducted
a campaign paper in BOISE in the
interests of the republican party,
although a democrat at heart. She
was most vlvacious little lady and
writer of more than ordinary
ability. After leaving Boise she
travelled throughout the west and in
Mexico, and about two years ago
married wealthy mining man in
the City of Mexico.

WATERiEss BATHING.
A Good Rub and an Air Bath Sub.
atitute For the Tub.

The conditions and conventions of
our civilization demand frequent bath
ing. 1t Is popularity supposed that this
frequent bathing Is essential to health.
"This Is quite untrue" says the Med
ical journal I'VE have seen fine and
vigorous men among the habltants OF
Canada who had never taken a full
bath In their lives. Were the truth
known, many thousands of our fellow
citizens probably know nothing of the
alleged benefits Of the tub, though
maintaining excellent average health.
"Such people do not present the
fresh and pleasing appearance of the
frequent bather, however long lived
they may be- Is not, however, much
of the benefit attributed 10 the water
in reality due to the complete exposure
OF the skin to the air?
THE respiratory function of the
skin Is of high Importance, and, al
though water may be dispensed with,
closing the pores to air would result
In speedy asphyxiation. The historic
instance Of the boy who impersonated
John the Baptist In II medieval pro,
cesslon and whose body was covered
with gold leaf with rapidly fatal re-
suits is proof.
"The ice cold bath is superstition;
it IL pastlme for the abnormally
vigorous. not desirable for the average
civilized man. A bath not too cold Is
really an agreeable stimulant as well
as being luxury. The feeling of we'll
being after bath can hardly be OBJ
talned In any other way, and the
rapid multiplication OF tubs In hotels
and private residences, soon to ap.
proach one to the individual, shows
how they are appreciated.
Unhappy persons, however, whose
travels In the provinces or into the
desert may temporarily deprive them
Of sufficient water for bathing may
find n substitute that will ut least af-
ford part of their accustomed en-
joyment. The body may DE energet'
lcally rubbed with brush or coarse
Turkish towel and afterward exposed
to the air for fifteen minutes or so.
The accustomed feeling Of ylgor will

by the unlnitiated to be astonlshlngly
