The meeting III the court house
this morning at 10 o'clock OF the
Bernahlo county Republican Central
and Executive committees win prob
ably be one OF the most important
in the history of the party in this
county. Chairman W. II. Gillenwater
has called the committees together for
the purpose of making preliminary
Arrangements for the campaign.
The meeting this morning is rend-
cred doubly important by the recent
attempt of a few petty politicians and
office seekers to cast discredit on the
party by efforts to make 1t appear
that they were its chosen leaders. In
their folly these men have even gone
so far as to issue what purports to be
"A call for a meeting of the central
committee. Appended to their call is
an alleged list of the members of the
central committee, the list containing
the names of many men who are real
members of the committee and many
membership in the committee than
the assessment clnch' boss, himself,
whose name prominently appears in
the list.
The republican party in Bernalillo
county today occupies the strongest
position it has ever occupied since
the formation of the county. It's Of
fees have been purged of the grafters
and incompetents: the Assessment
cinch' has become only an unpleasant
memory. and the once powerful boss
who welded 1t so ruthleasly has
been relegated to a position where his
frantic efforts to regain his power no
longer excite the serious attention of
those sturdy republican voters who
brought about his downfall.
The once mighty Don Francisco,
who dominated the court, owned the
sheriff and used the assessor and tax
gatherer to punish or ruin his polit-
lcal enemies is no longer feared.
But the republicans of Bernalill0
county are determined that there shall
not be even the remotest chance for
this man or any of his followers to
regain even the shadow of their
former power The party welfare
requires that they be eliminated. root,
stock and branch. Their very names
have become a stencil in the nostrils
of the voters of the city of Albuquer-
que, and in the country precincts they
are held in even worse repute.
The meeting today, which has been
called by Chairman Clearwater, will
be meeting of the men who have
brought the county out Of the chaos Of
misrule, who have placed its offies on
bsiness basis, who have lowered its
| tax rate and who, with the aid Of an
! honest and fearless judge, have elm
| mated politics from its courts and ju-
ries. These are the men who Will
arrange the preliminaries of the cam
paign and who, when the proper time
comes, will arrange for the calling or
the primaries and the convention, to
the end that the republican voters Of
the county may have an opportunity
untrammeled, to register their will
and select the men of their choice as
party standard bearers in the frs,
state election in this county.
In view of the Importance of the
meeting this morning, 1t VIII doubtless
be attended by every member of both
the central and the executive commit

CHICAGO NEWS LETTER.

Chicasgo, February 23-This is the
year of the l7-year and of the J3 year
locusts, those expected in the Chicago
territory being the 13-year-race. which
will cover the Mississippi valley, par
ticularly it's lower half. The famous
17-year brood will play their shrill
drums in the Eastern states. In 1898
very careful study of the 13-year
locust was made by l.. o. Howard,
Chief of the u. S. Bureau of EntomC-
logy, and also by entomolOigsts of
several states including Illinois, Ken
lucky and Missouri. In report just
issued by the Bureau of Entomology
Mr.. Howard says: 1.-The periodical
cicada when it appears in great mum
pers. naturally causes considerable
alarm and fear for the safety of shade
trees and orchards. The actual dam
age. however. is usually slight except
in the case of newly planted: orchards
and even here, by vigorous pruning
back after the cicada has disappeared
much of the injury caused by the pune
lures can be obviated. For any one
who has intended to plant young trees
this year, the following advice is given
FOR protective measures: Ordinary
repellant substances, such az kerosene
emulsion or carboiic acid solutions.
seem to have very little effect in pre-
venting che ovi-position of these in
sects. Some more recent experience,
however, indicates that trees thorough
ly sprayed with Bordeaux mixture or
lime wash are apt to be avoided by the
cicads, especially if there are other
trees or woods in the neighborhood on
which they can OvipOsit. The most
reliable means of protecting nurseries
and young orchards is by collecting the
insects in bags or umbrellas from the
trees in early morning or late evening,
when they are somewhat torpid. Such
collections should be undertaken at the
first appearance of the cicada :and re-
peated each day."

Owyhee and Kinsman Projects

That the Kuhn interests have
taken over the Boise Owyhee
project has been persistently re-
ported the last two or three days
and no little interest has been
evidenced in the matter as a con-
sequence Of it's naturalimport to
Boise, Caldwell, Nyssa, Ontario
and Nampa. The development
OF this district means to Boise
and adjacent towns more than
$4,000 acres of tributary terri
tory and the probable extension
Of electric railroads to cover the
tract. The development Of this
area means the adding of 5 per
cent. to the developed district be-
tween Boise and Weiser, and a
consequent enormous growth in
products and population.
When interviewed by a repre-
sentative OF the Capital News
lately relative to whether the
deal had been consummated or
not, $. H. Hays, the representa-
tive of the Kuhn interests, said:
"The Kuhn interests are deal
ing with the Owyhee and King
man irrigation district for the
construction Of a gravity system
for those districts to cover rs, 900
acres Of land. If the engineering
situation is found to be as anti
cipated, the Kuhn interests will
build the works and take the
bonds Of the districts, provided
proper arrangements can be
made as to price and other mat
ters Of that kind. Jordan Val

DELAMAR PIONEER DEAD
Mrs Whittenberg Passes Away
Suddenly In DeLamar

In the death Of Mrs. Jane Whit
tenberg at DeLamar on Monday
of this week, one of the early pio-
neers is removed. She was born
in Pennsylvania, July 6, 1890,
making her almost 81 years of
age.
Mrs. Whittenberg, when but 6
years Of age, came to Missouri
and in 1872 she arrived in Jor-
dan Valley and has resided in
the latter place and DeLamar
ever since. Through all the years
of trials and privations incident
to a new country, Mrs. Whitten-
berg bravely toiled on. making
friends wherever she went, who
now join the aged husband and
one only daughter, Mrs. G. D.
Bachelor, in mourning her demise.
The funeral services were held
in DeLamar today, after which
the remains were taken to Jor-
dan Valley for interment.

THE IDAHO LEGISLATURE
Legislators Working Slowly. Two
Bills Passed So Far

The Idaho Legislature has now
been in session almost three
weeks, and up to date apparently
but little work has been done
Two bills have been enacted into
law and two resolutions passed,
One OF the bills was that Of ad-
ding f)wyhee county to the Third
Judicial district. OF course,
there has been a great deal OF
COMMITTEES work done and sever
al important bills are now well
on their way to final considera-
tion. Among the important
matters that has received consid-
cradle attention and been exten-
siyely debated in the House are
the Sunday rest law and a meas
ure providing for a prohibition
amendment to the constitution.
That this week will be a busy
one, is the general impression
among leaders OF both parties,
and it is thought that the inn
portant measures viii all be be-
fore the Legislature within the
coming week. Among those
which may be mentioned are: Ini-
tiative, referendum and recall;
the eight-hour day measure; di-
rect primary law for revision;
county option law for amend
ment; state wide prohibition
amendment to the constitution;
Sunday rest. law for revision;
railway commission; legislative
apportionment.
Some Of these matters will
come up in the forms Of bills to
be referred to the appropriate
committees. Others that have
been introduced already will
come up for discussion. This is
especially true OF Sunday rest
and prohibition, which are al
ready on the calendar in the
House.

MAIL STAGE 1S
HOURS LATE
Mail and Team Left
in Snow. Passengers
w ak to Town

Tuesdays mail did not arrive
in Silver until Wednesday after
noon. The driver and five pas
sengers got in about 8 O'Clock,
Tuesday night leaving the team
and mail out on the mountain.
Owing to the heavy fall ofsnow
poor headway was made. One
horse would fall, and while he was
being dug out, another would go
down. Finally the two wheel
horses fell, and, in order toextri-
cate them, the driver unhitched
the leaders from the sled, and
they Immediately ran off up the
road.
Near the summit, the two
leaders fell over the grade, MAX
ing itimpossible to get them out.
The driver then seeing that it
was impossible to get the sled
through, abandoned it, and TAX
ing some of the mail, started
with the five passengers for town.
The mail was soon abandoned,
however.
The agent here, becoming al
armed at the lateness of the
stage, which was due early, sent
out a team with 'swampers,
which met the passengers at the
foot OF the summit. The team
then came back with the passen-
gers, and the "swampersv went
on to get the mail and see if they
could rescue he horses.
After being out in the storm
until after midnight they
came backempty handed. Then
a team from here went out and
got the mail and one horse.
One Of the horses was dead, and
the other two were found alive,
later, near "Nigger Cabin. Z
The expenses and damages of
the trip were considerable,
though they we're unavoidable.
This same occurance happens all
most every winter, owing to the
deep snow and fierce storms
which the stage must battle. A
great deal of money and time
would be saved by keeping a
couple OF ''swampersV with the
stage during the bad weather.
1t would be better for the owner,
the driver, the passengers and
the people Of this canyon.

OLD TIMER BRUT-
ALLY MURDERED
DR.. A. w. Peters Beat
en- to Death and
Robbed

The shocking news reached
Silver City a few days ago that
Dr. A. w. Peters, a former prac-
titioner in this camp, had been
brutally murdered and robbed
OF everything ofvalue which he
had on his person and in his cab
in, located on his ranch in the
Big Lost River country about 70
miles from Arco. His body was
found by DR.. j. C. Leonard OF the
latter place five or six days af-
ter the murder. Two faithful
dogs stood over the dead mans
body until he was found.
Dr. Peters who is about 10
years of age, was we'll and favor
ably known in Silver, having
practiced here for a number of
years. He was also well known
to all the old-timers of the state,
andit is ssaid that Governor Haw-
ley was SO incensed by the brutal
ity of the crime that he announc-
ed that the state would make a
thorough investigation, and if
the verdict of the coroner's Jury
that it was a foul murder is sub
stantiated, a big reward will be
offered for the capture OF the
guilty party or parties.
According to the information
received from Or. Leonard, it de-
velops that DR.. Peters left his
ranch, located near Marion
Moore's place, and went to Arco,
where he secured about $500 in
pension money, besides an addi-
tlonal amount for some cattle
which he had sold. tits believed
that he had between $500 and
$1,000 when he returned to his
place. 1t is assumed that the
person or persons who slew the
aged man were familiar with con
ditions and knew that he had
this money.
The Statesman is the author
ity for the following sketch of
the murdered mans life:
DR.. Peters came to Idaho more
than 35 years ago. He had
been in the army hospital service
in the civil war and drew a small
pension, which, strangely enough,
led to his murder. He first es-
tablished an office in Silver City.
where he built up a large prac-
tice, according to Tim Regain.
whose family physician he was
for many years. He left Silver
City about 1880 and went over
to the Wind River country, but
he returned to the camp on a
visit in 1889 and renewed old
acquaintance. After that he
went up into the Arco country
where he ehas been for many years.
DR.. j. c. Leonard of Arco, who
used to practice dentistry in the
early days in Boise, was a close
friend OF DR.. Peters and was
greatly affected by the latter's
awful ending. A number of pio-
neers like Governor Hawlev.
Mark Leonard, Thomas Howe
and Tim Regan vow that they
will never rest until they have
run the murderers to earth.
