NAMPA EDITOR KICKS.

The Nampa Record is sore on the
mail carrier system at that place
The burden of the Nampa paper is
that outside papers will circulate in
Nampa without extra charge, while
the home paper is made to pay a
cent on each copy or lay dead in the
office. The assumption of the govern
ment at Washington is that the mail
service be made as near as possible
self-sustaining, and that being the
case, it is no more than right that the
home paper should bear it's share of
the burden. In every city where
there is a mail carrier service the
papers either pay the extra postage
or establish carrier systems for their
paper. Enterprising papers have
their own carrier service and on the
day of issue the subscriber has his
home paper served with his coffee,
eggs and toast. We suggest that the
Nampa paper scrape little of the
moss off, quit damning the govern
ment and give his subscribers such
service as he deserves.

SENATOR AND CORRESPONDENT

A short time ago Senator Hepburn
took occasion in a speech in the U. S.
Senate to gently chide some of the
newspaper correspondents. And it
seems that his structures took effect.
AS a result, every small-souled, chur-
lish mothers son of them have been
trying to make Mr.. Hepburn ridicu-
lous. 1t has been said that the Wash
ington correspondents make and I'M
make statesmen. Those who play in
to their hands are kept constantly be-
fore the public eye in pleasing
light, those who do not find favor

yet people are afraid of makes-one
Or mans best friends. We also IN
derstand that there are from 800 to
1000 species of microbes or germs
and about one out of every hundred
species are dangerous. We are lit
orally covered with microbes or
germs. We draw them into our lungs
by the millions with our every breath.
We eat them by the thousands with
cry mouthful of food. When we
battle, we pour them over our bodies
in endless streams. You don't be-
lieve it. Well, take a toothpick and
rub it over your teeth-we don't care
whose teeth-and put that toothpick
under a powerful microscope and be
convinced. All these microbes or
germs are working on US night and
day, while we live and, when we die
resolve our bodies to dust and ashes.
Now a few of these microbes, called
bacterium, such as the diphtheria
microbe, the scarlet fever, tuberculo-
sis, are bad. But bless your soul, they
can't hurt US bit unless we let them.
They don't like the fresh air and sun
shine little bit. They won't stay on
a person whose habits are regular
and clean. There isn't anything for

MR.. BALLENGER.

Caldwell had one of the cabinet
officers of the United States in her
midst about two hours Saturday. He
dined at the Saratoga and graced the
Commercial club by his presence,
Perhaps the most noticeable thing
about Mr.. Ballenger is that he is just
like any other man. He talked like
them, walked like them, and in every
respect behaved like them. He hap
pens to be one of the advisers of
President Taft and has charge of the
department of the interior Mr.. Taft
thought he was the ideal man for the
position and placed him in charge.
Abraham Lincoln was That any man
who could perform the duties of JUS
tice of the peace with credit could
acceptibly fill the office of president.
But 1t may take little more ability
to be a secretary of the Interior. But
we have no doubt that Caldwell has
half hundred citizens that could per-
form the duties of that office with
honor to themselves and credit to the
nation. The secretary of the interior
has charge of the reclamation service
that is doing such noble work in the
west to advance the civilization of
mankind, and make the desert bloom,
and cities and towns to grow and
wealth to increase and happiness to
diffuse with almost the same celebrity
as these things do in an oriental fairy
tale. And in order to become &C
quainted with the country, the people,
and the work of the department Mr..
Ballenger has chosen to pay visit to
the west and on his itinerary he
looked in on Caldwell. Surrounding
us is the great Boise-Payette project
for the reclamation of several thous-
and acres of the finest land in the
world, and presents one of the
choicest benefits that may be derived
from the reclamation service.
Mr.. Ballenger is a very pleasing
gentleman, very polite, very affable,
and very diplomatic His visit here
was highly appreciated, and it is hoped
by our people that much good will
come of it. He wanted to be told of
all the troubles, difficulties and per-
pleXities of the homesteader and his
wishes were complied with in every
respect. They freely poured out up
on his waiting ear everything that
was in their hearts and that burdened
their mind, and both rejoiced. Mr..
Ballenge rmade no promises other
than that he would give serious con-
sideration to their troubles and from
his appearance and bearing the peo-
pie here were led to believe that he
was sincere and would do for them

FLYOPHORIA

w. D. Springer is the health officer
of Boise and he has thrown down the
gauntlet to the flies. They must be
banished forthwith from Boise, the
Beautiful. DR.. Springer intends to
drive them from their old places
about the Preside of man out into a
cold and dismal world and starve
them to death. He says in effect and
literally. If a fly falls into the but
ter, don't throw away the small por-
ton of butter the fly used for bath
ing purpose; throw it all away. If
the fly falls into a cup of water, or
coffee, or milk, don't fish it out with
tooth pick, but throw away the
water or coffee or milk. Screen all
the doors and windows. Screen the

with them are either entirely ignored
or made the butt of ridicule and deri-
sion. These correspondents, being
men of all sorts and conditions, often
abuse the power and confidence placed
in them, and sometimes take mean ad-
vantage of good men. The high crime
charged against Senator Hepburn is
that he insists on the Senate per-
forming its duty, and he also insists
upon the correspondent during his
duty. This is rather irksome these
hot summer days when mint juleps
and gin fixes are ripe and the cool
side of things are most desirable,
and the only attractions in the halls
of congress are dry, uninteresting
details anent tariff schedules. But
the Senator insists that as he valiant
ly performs his duty, that the others
do likewise.
There may be a difference of opin-
ion on this matter, but as both the
senators and correspondents are pub
lie servants paid to perform their
duty, however irksome it may be, we,
with the senior senator from Idaho,
are inclined to think that they should
be made to perform it, And we GER
tainly think the correspondents are
taking a sneaking, reprehensible ad-
vantage of the senator.

them to live upon, and therefore, they
die of starvation. Keep cheerful,
don't worry, have your bowels move
regularly, keep clean, be pure and
the flies can flick microbes at you all
day and you won't be hurt bit.
These microbes have a great work
to perform, and they don't play any
favorites. II you have anything
about your anatomy that makes good
eating for them they are very liable
to settle there. But there is nothing
to worry about or get frightened over.
And the doctors, probably, are to
blame for feeding the public upon
half truths. We want to get rid of
the flies and cleanliness will do it,
and cleanly habits will rob both the
fly and the microbe of their jobs and
their excuse for being. Therefore,
be clean. If you can't be altogether
clean, be as clean as you can.

table and keep the flies away from the
baby. All the ideas of DR.. Springer
are very good, and nearly every fam
lily in the country today is trying
to do everything suggested by the
good doctor. But the good doctor
while long on advice, is short in ex.
perience. Any householder will tell
him with three or four children about
the place and hundred hungry flies
peeping longingly through the screens
that the flies are going to get inside
that house. But, perhaps the good
doctor would suggest: If the child
rem interfere with the destruction of
the flies, cut out the children.
Now, we are not great on hygiene
like the good doctor, but few years
ago screens were a luxury and flies
were free to enter or leave the house
as any of the other inmates. Did
we have typhoid, scarlet fever, tu-
berculosis, ETC., in those days as we
do now? And isn't it fact that all
these contagious diseases come at a
time when the fly is conspicuous by
its absence? And after we have
screened him from our houses, ad-
hitting that possible, how are we 90
ing to keep him off of US when we
walk the streets? Are we to wear
screens during fly time as the dog
does a muzzle in hot weather? And
suppose we wear a screen, what is to
prevent the fly riding about on it
and scratching from his legs and
tail and teeth microbes of disease?
And what's to prevent the microbe
from crawling through the screen
and preempting a quarter section of
our anatomy?
And isn't it a fact, dear doctor, that
the microbe may be blown through
the air?
We don't like the fly any better
than the dear doctor does. But our
dislike does not come from the fear
that he has lot of disease microbes
concealed about his person. We dis
like him because of his habits. He
crawls through filth and then comes
into the house and crawls over the
bread, or drops in the gravy or cof.
fee, or does highland fling upon the
meat or potatoes. And we want him
banished for that reason. Our i'm
agination is too fertile and our stom-
ach too ticklish to to! rae him
That's our reasons.
Now about those microbes, or germs.
There are, it is said, about 400 spe-
c!es of snake, and about one species
cut Of a hundred are poisonous, and

CHAPTER Vll.-Continued.


"Yian-I have lived there-and
loved there. When the breath of my
body shall cease, when the dragons
claw shall fade from my arm" he
tore up his sleeve, and we saw a white
crescent shining above his elbow
when the light of my eyes has faded
forever, then, even then | shall not
forget the city of Yian. Why, it is my
home-mine! The river and the thou
sand bridges, the white peak beyond,
the sweet-scented gardens, the lilies,
the pleasant noise of the summer wind
laden with bee music and the music
OF bells-all these are mine. Do you
think because the Kuen-Yuin feared
the dragons claw on my arm that my
work with them is ended? Do you
think because Yue-Laou could give,
that | acknowledge his right to take
away? Is he Xangi, in whose shadow
the white water-lotus dares not raise
its head? No! Mo-" he cried. VIC.
lently, "it was not from Yue-Laou. the
scorcerer, the Maker of Moons, that
my happiness came! 1t was real. it
was not shadow to vanish like a
tinted bubble! Can a sorcerer create
and give a man the woman he loves?
Is Yue-Laou as great as Xangi then?
Xangi is God In His own time, in His
Infinite goodness and mercy, He will
bring me again to the woman I love.
And | know she waits for me at Gods
feet"
In the strained silence that followed
I could hear my hearts double beat
and | saw Pierpont's face blanched
and ptiful. Barris shook himself and
raised his head. The change in his
rudy face frightened me.
Heed. lie said, with a terrible
glance at me; "the print of the
dragons claw is on your forehead and
Yue-Laou knows it. If you must love,
then love like a man, for you will suf-
fer like a soul in he'll, in the end.
What is her name again."
"Ysonde," ! answered, simply.

Jumps of soft yellow gold. Barris
dropped this "moonshine gold" as we
had come to call it, into the pockets
of his shooting-coat, and withdrew to
question the prisoner. He came back
again in a few minutes and motioned
his mounted men to take the Sinner
in charge. We watched them, rifle on
thigh, walking their horses slowly
away into the darkness, the "Shiner,"
tightly bound, shutting sullenly be-
tween them.
who is the 'Shiner?'" asked Pier
pont, slipping the revolver into his
pocket again.
"a moonshiner, counterfeiter, forger,
and highwayman, said Barris, "and

him what he refuses to confess to me"
Wouldn't he talk?" l asked.
Not syllable. Pierpont, there is

For me to do? Are you not coming
back with us, Barris?"
NO" said Barris.
We walked along the dark road in
silence for a while, l wondering what
Barris intended to do, but he said
nothing more until we reached our
own veranda. Here he held out his
hand, first to Pierpont, then to me,
saying good-by, as though he were go
ing on long journey.
How soon will you be back?" I
called out to him as he turned away
toward the gate. He came across the
lawn again and again took our hands
with quiet affection that l had never
imagined him capable of.

end to his gold-making tonight.

citedly.

AS he spoke a slight noise across the
turf attracted my attention. A mounted
man was advancing silently in the
starlight over the spongy meadowland.

Franklin.-An unusual suit has been
brought in the equity courts here by
the Odd Fellows lodge at Emlenton
against Mrs. A. o. Giering. In 1872
Col. o. c. Redick began the erection
of a two-story building in Emlenton,
and the Odd Fellows induced him to
add a third story to provide a lodge
room, which they purchased from him
for $2,320. Thus there were two es-
tates in the property. Col Redick's
portion of the building passed to Mrs.
Giering, and the Odd Fellows are now
suing to compel her to repair the roof
and the walls of the first and second
stories. They contend that in pur-
chasing the third floor they bought
protection from the elements above
and support from beneath.
