DEATH CLAIMS
BRIGHT YOUNG MAN

Calvert Alfred died suddenly of
heart trouble at Paris about 10
O'Clock Thursday night, April %,
aged 81 years. The deceased was
member of the senior class of
Fielding Academy, and chairman
of the debating team, which was to
have engaged in debate tonight
with team from the Academy of
Idaho. Calvert had suffered with
heart trouble at different times in
the past, but was feeling about as
we'll as common on the day of his
death. That night he retired about
o'clock, and shortly afterwards
his roommate was attracted by
heavy groans from the bed, and be-
fore any assistance could be sum
moned Mr.. Alfred expired.
His sudden death caused deep
sorrow among the students, for he
was looked upon aa oae of the bright
est members of the school and q
leader in the debating society.
His body was taken to Alton last
Friday for burial, and was accom-
panied by Principal Bramwell, In.
struotors Jensen and Alfred and
members of the senior class. Tho
students of the academy followed
the funeral party in a body to the
city limits of Paris. His funera
services were held in the Aftor
tabernacle last Sunday afternoon
Owing to his death the debat,
between Fielding Academy and tn
Academy of Idaho, which was t.
have taken place at Paris tonight
has been indefinitely postponed.

1t having been determined by
authenlc records that the first perm
anent settlement of whites in the
territory of Idaho, was mnde at
Franklin, Oneida county, on June
Il, 5000 years ago, the citizens
of that town are arranging for a
monster celebration in memory of
the early pioneers, which promises
to be an event unique in the history
of the state.
l.. ii. Hatch, chairman of the
committee of arrangements OF the
Franklin celebration, has sent out
the following communication IN re-
gard to the day:
ssThe committee on arrangements
for the celebration of Idaho day, to
be held at Franklin, Idaho, on June
IA and Is, IN memory of the early
pioneers of the state, beg to advise
that the citizens of Franklin are
full Of enthusiasm and are working
very energetically to make the
celebration grand success.
'I am authorized by the central
committee to extend an invitation
to all who wish to show honor to
the pioneers to be present. This

As the political pot will begin |
boiling several months earlier this
year, than it has in the past, owing
TO the provisions OF the new primary
law, it will be necessary for all
who have political aspirations To
get their names before the public
within the next three months.
Although as yet we have heard of
but few names mentioned among
the republicans of Bear Lake county
az being ayowed candidates, there
is more or less calk about probable
aspirants for the various Offices.
Eor state senator, IL is said that
VIM. r. Rich, will likely be candi-
date again. However, the Senator
declares that he has not as yet given
the matter any thought.
The name of j. r. Shepherd has
mentioned in connection with the
senatorial nomination. Since his
elevation to the presidency of the
Bear Lake stake, Mr.. Shepherd has
taken but little part in local politics
and it is very. doubtful if he could
be prevailed upon to enter the field,
in the event that Senator Rich de-
cides not to become a candidate.
However, we consider that Presi-
dent Shepherd would make strong
candidate, and in the event of his
election, of which there would be
little doubt, Bear Lake County
would be ably represented in the
upper branch of the next legislature.
We have also heard the name of
Sheriff Arthur Bulge mentioned in
connection with the senatOrship,
but Arthur says that he has had
enough of politics and intends 10
retire to private life at the close of
his term as sheriff. However, we
think Arthur might yet be induced
TO "place himself IN the bands OF
his friends" and try for the sena.
torlal toga.
For the lower house, Representa-.
tive Broomhead will doubtless be q
candidate for reelection, although
we have heard 1t rumored that he il
thinking some of entering the ract
for auditor. The names of Phile
mon Lindsay, E. M. Alfred, G. c
Gray, AL Thiel and II. B. Whitman
are also spoken of as possible candi
dates for the house.
The juclest plum on the count!
political tree is that of auditor ant
recorder, and among those who hav'
their eyes on that plnm are J. l.
Dunford, at present deputy stat
game warden, j. J. Jones of tn
Jones-Robison Clothing Co., Rus
sell Shepherd of the Bear Lake Stat
Bank and Representative Broom
head. We understand w. r
Holmes, the present incumben,
who stated some time ago that b
would not be candidate for re-eleC
tion. is about to reconsider tina
decision and get into the race fo
the nomination. Will has made 3
excellent officer and has man
friends in the county who woul
ike to see him remain there fou
more years, Should be and all {
the others above named, decide
enter the race for auditor, it wouI
make lively contest, and it woul
be hard matter to pick the WHINE
before tBb primary votes were coun
sd.
1t is said that John Olson of Owl
is grooming himself for the race II
sheriff. John held that Office ol
Term and will doubtless have
strong following in the primar

and Thomas Sparks of Dingle, a
also said to have their political ey

their strongest man for the contest.
For members of the lower house
it is said that Chris Wallantine may
become candidate. Possibly Chas.
K. Harris may also become candi-
date; his name has also been men,
toned as congressional candidate,
but he will not enter that race, nor
will he again become candidate
for prosecuting attorney. There
may be some others, but so for the
Examiner has not heard them men,
toned.
For sheriff there Is talk of Amasa
Rich, and many friends of Henry
Dalrymple would like to see him in
the race, but Henry has said "nay"
so far.
For county clerk George Gardner
is the only person SO far mentioned,
and if he wants the nomination no
doubt will be the only person in the
contest in the party. M. B. Cherry
might be induced to enter the con-
test if his health was such that he
felt it would allow, but in view Of
that he will not be a candidate SO
he now thinks.
For treasurer no names have been
mentioned, though George Spencer,
Jr., IT Is possible could have another
try at the job if he wanted to get
into the race. He says he will not
be a candidate, however.
| For assessor no particular per-
sons have been mentioned though
the friends of Asa Athay would
like to see him announce himself
No doubt others will come ou
shortly for that Office.
i We have heard of no one wht
wants TO make the race for probat,
Judge, but some Paris man vii
undoubtedly try for it.
FoR prosecuting attorney T. l.
Glenn and VIM. j. Ryan will per
haps be out after the plum, a
: neither Judge Cough nor the pres
ent incumbent want it.
3 For Commissioners in the Firs
district no particular person ha

In politics down on the Neosho. Once
the captain was a candidate for mi

best friend, politically, was also can

campaigned the district thoroughly,
but the captains friend did not seem
to be getting anywhere. He com

land commissioner decided to go on
a little private tour of investigation.
He went all over the district inquiring
of the farmers their objection to his
friend. They We're suspicious and
hesitated long before giving any rea-
son. but it finally began to leak out.

StanIey's Estimate Of Leaders,

In his recent published autobiog-
raphy Sir Henry NJ. Stanley says:
The civil war only developed two
irst-rank men, and those were Grant
and Lee, but in the second rank there
we're many who might possibly, with
opportunities, have rivaled the first
two. I believe if it were put to the
vote of the military class as to which
was the greater of the two greatest
captains of the var the vote would be
cast for Robert E. Lee. Nevertheless
there was something in Grant which,
though not so snowy as the strategy
and dash of Lee, makes me cast my
vote for Grant

NORMAL GETS REVENGE
DEFEAT HIGH SCHOOL IN SEC
OND GAME OF SERIES BY
SCORE OF IL TO4.

The defeat which they received at
the hands of the high school baseball
team last week still singing them to
the core, the State Normal tied up
with the Eigh School lads in the Sec
ond game of the series yesterday af-
ternoon and walloped them to the aw-
full tune of IL to A. But, it must be
stated, in the first inning it looked
as if the high school would walk on
with the game in easy fashion, having
landed on Houser of the Normal for
five safe hits, netting them four runs.
But in the second inning the Normal
replaced Houser with Downing, their
pitcher veteran, and from that time
on the high school had not a ghost of
show in getting hit or a run. In
the Normal's half of the first inning
they secured three runs on safeties.
No scores were made on either side
during the next three innings, but in
the fifth the Normal secured two
more runs. In the sixth the pedagog-
ues landed on Phelps pretty hard and
with errors by the high school added
six runs to their already leading
score. Phelps was replaced in the
seventh inning by Charles, but it was
too late for the high school to regain
lead over their more experienced
opponents. The Normal made One
run in the seventh, the final score
being II to a.

courtship Class for jap Girls.

Japan has killed the last doubt as
to it's modern progress by the orgaEi.
cation of a class of courtship' for
girls in each of the secondary schools
The Japanese maidens are taught that
If they should be so unfortunate as
to fall in love before becoming en-
gagged they m1Ska conceal the fact.
Above all they midst remember that
women never propose. Another thing.
they are warned that well-bred girls
do not exchange photographs with
their admirers. In Japan until now
there has not been any trouble about
counting, and this is the first evidence
that the Japanese maidens need in
struction in affairs of the heart.
