four years, deducting fines and forfeit
ures collected is about SIS, 600, while the
expense Of one year, when Judge Steele
frst came upon the bench, was approx
imately SIS, 600.
In Nez Perez county, the addition of
new territory, the opening of the Nez
Peree reservation, and the large influx
OF immigration, makes it impossible to
make comparisons. The expenses.
however, have been kept at the lowest
possible amount.
Both the bar and the public have
confidence in the integrity of the court,
and in the ability of the presiding judge
to properly transact the business. In
competency has no place upon the dis
trict bench. The citizenship should
most carefully consider the selection of
district Judge.
The CHRONICLE believes that Judge
Steele's majority should and viii be
equal to the combined thinking, rea-
soning vote of both the republican and
democratic parties.

REV. CHAMBERLAIN hONORfD
Episcopal Rector Called to Church In
Wallace.


On Sunday morning Rev. Mr.. AL
ward Chamberlain announced from
his pulpit that he had received call
to become rector of Holy Trinity
church, Wallace, Ida In speaking of
1t afterwards, Rev. Chamberlain said:
Il have not yet fully decided what I
shall do in the matter. The call is very
flattering for several reasons. In the
first place, 1t is the second time that
this church has extended the call; the
field offers greater scope for useful
ness; and the salary is about double
that paid by my present congregation.
They also offer rectory and agree to
pay all expenses of moving. The Wal
lace congregation is in quite pros
porous condition. They have just
completed a handsome new brick and
stone church, costing nearly ten thou
sand dollars. They have large Sun
day school and many earnest and faith
full workers in every department. In
conjunction with Wallace, shall also
have charge of new church being
built at Wardner. But, as / said be-
fore, have not made up my mind yet
| am deeply interested in my work in
Twin Falls and the surrounding towns,
and should regret for many reasons to
relinquish 1t, and sever the many per-
sonal friendships formed during the
past two years.

week of the Annual Encampment of
the Grand Lodge of the Odd Fellows

H. H. Hobart and R. R. Bonner decid-

good use by themselves and according
ly made their getaway to parts I'M
known, without advising their employ

Mr. GipsOn is making canvass of the
various business houses of the city in
order that he may learn to what ex-

every case, as far as can be learned,
the advertisers paid in advance for
the space subscribed to.
The last report received by Mr.. Clip
son from Hobart was about September
10. 1t was few days later that Ho-
bart left the city, taking with him
copy for all the ads. No trace of the

Robbery Occurs on the Outskirts Of

of Two Masked Men.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 27.-TwC
masked white men who held up four
United States mail clerks on the out
bound Southern Pacific train in the
outskirts of the city and escaped with
a number of packages of registered
mail, are being pursued by detectives
and federal officers.
Report has it that the value of the
theft exceeds 100000.
While the engine was taking the
express and mail cars about a quarter
of mile up the track the masked
men surprised the four mail clerks,
two of whom were negroes, and held
them up. While one man kept them
covered with a revolver the other
gathered together the registered mail
pouches.
The whole thing was over, the mail
men say, in lew minutes and the rob.
bers leaped off the cars and made their
escape.
