State Normal at Lewiston, and the
insane asylum at Orofnio

ty, Democrat.
Representative Hammer, Lemhi

Ada county, Republican.
These committees were agreed upon
at IA, meeting between Lieutenant
Governor Sweetser, president of the
senate, and Speaker Storey. after
consulting with a number. of senators
and representatives.
It will be noted that the committee
to visit the ilstitut'ons in the north
is made up wholly of men from the
south. and that the committee to Wis
it the institutions in the south Is
made up wholly Of men from the
north. 1t is noted too. that no mem
ber of either committee is from
county having within its borders an!
state institutions to be investigated
In this the clearly expressed wishes
of both senate and house were car
ried out. Politically the committees
contain three Republicans and thre'
Democrats, so that the investigation
will be impartial so far as party poll
tics might enter.
| Expressions heard about the capit'
after the appointments had been an
nounced were to the effect that tn
committees were strong ones and tn
tho investigations would be alon'
the right lines.

The shillalah, which showed at
Louth that it has not entirely lost its
old Importance as a factor in deciding
elections, is no raw limb of a tree.
1t is almost as much work of art as
a we'll balanced cricket bat. The old
shillalahs we're as carefully looked
after by their loving owners as is
rifle in the wilds. Cut from the stur-
diest of young blackthorns, and show
ing as little taper as an ebony ruler,
it was weighted with lead or iron at
the end nearest the grip, so that its
center Of gravity was about four
fifths Of the way from the hitting end.
When properly seasoned by being
kept in the neighborhood Of the farm
oven for a few months, 1T became a
thing Of supple steel. And the proper
pronunciation OF the name OF this
fearsome weapon is the melodious one
Of 'shill-aIly," with the accent on the

The senate concurred in the Reed
bill, providing for the payment Of
claims for labor against estates of de-
ceased persons. The Haight joint reso-
luton requesting the state tax COM
mission to make a special report on
general and life insurance taxation to
the legislature was laid over in the
senate.
The tax commission was raped in
the assembly in joint resolution in
troduced by Assemblyman Haight,
which recited that, while the statutes
provided that the tax commission
should make report to the governor
and TO the legislature, no such report
has yet been received. The tax CON-
mission, it was admitted, had made
an official report regarding the taxa
ton of life insurance companies, but
this contained no information regard
ing the general subject of taxation. 1t
was asked that the commission be re-
Quired to transmit to the governor
and legislature without delay report
containing the amount of taxes now
paid by life insurance companies in
the state and also the taxes which
would be received if the method Of
the taxation recommended by the tax
commission were adopted

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pfmples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit. and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cutfcura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy OF his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cutfcura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

"The top vein is seven feet thick
the middle vein sixteen feet in thick
ness and the bottom vein % feet In
thickness. There are $4,000, 900
tons Of coal in this mine"
James Overy, well known coal
operator, and who possibly went into
details more thoroughly than Mr.,
Wallace, places the estimate of this
one mine at 100000 tons, with a
possible output of 5000 tons day,
In his report he says:
"The vein you are now working
contains nineteen feet, six inches OF
coal; to find clearer vein would be
almost impossible. No where in my
forty years OF experience have
sen a body of coal of this magnitude
carrying so little impurities.
"By your present system OF de-
velopment, If the same be carried
out, you should not use foot OF
timber after leaving the outcrop coal,
four heighth of coal enables you to
do away with timber by leaving a
