Lost Two Horses.

The Burks Bros. who live northwest
of town in the vicinity Of Appleton sta
ton, suffered the loss of two good work
horses Tuesday night in somewhat pc
culiar manner. They have a new barn
under course Of construction and on ac-
count Of the storm Tuesday night they
sheltered their horses in root Gel
lar to protect them from the rain. The
continued fall OF rain however, soaking
into the earth covering evidently pro-
duced Il weight too heavy for the sup
ports, which gave way, burying the hor-
SEES underneath the earth, where they
were found dead the next morning.
The loss falls heavily upon these young
men. They are industrious, hard work
ing boys, and have been residents of the
tract for nearly two years, surrounding
themselves with host of friends who
will he panied to learn OF their misfor-
me.

Jerome at the Fair

Jerome and vicinity did itself proud
at the fair, not only in the matter OF at
tendance, but also in carrying off honors
in her exhibits. On Thursday, Agent
Lawrence reports the sale OF over 100
tickets over the Southern. Quite num-
Der went via the Short Line, while
large number Of the farmers drove over
Exhibits Of various nature were entered
from here, the most notable, however,
being in the stock department.
Mr.. Geo. Lawshe, the breeder Of the
Improved Chester White hogs, carried
off many honors, having received first
and second on best boar, the same for
best SOW. and like premiums for best
pen Of one boar and four sows He also
received first premium for Holstein bull,
and first premium Tor lIolstein bull
under 2 years oi age. In his display OF
chickens, he was awarded several first
premiums on his Barred Plymouth Rock
strain. Mr.. Lawshe also captured the
gold medal given for the best display OF
stock. The capturing OF these prizes is a
source Of qualification to the friends OF
Mr.. Lawshe, as practically all Of the
stock exhibited was bred and raised on
the North Side Tract. Among his Ches-
ter Whites exhibited, were two sows
10 months old, which the judges from
the State University pronounced as the
finest specimens they had judged in the
state. Mr.. Lawshe is at the Boise fair
with this exhibit this week, from which
we look for him to return with more
laurels.
The display Of red Duroc-Jerseys from
the farm of ID. c. MacWatters probably
constituted the finest exhibit OF this
class Of hogs ever seen in Idaho. There
were % porkers in this lot, most of which
have been imported by Mr.. MacWatters,
one of the animals weighing 500 pounds,
and from the fact that it spent most OF
the time lying down, it was christened
the Sleeping Beauty" This display,
t. the Boise fair
Mr.. Guy Towle, Of the Towle Land
Co., exhibited stable of horses that
were highly commented upon by those in
position to Judge. Among their num-
Der was a span OF dapple gray mares,
which were much admired, and which
easily won first laurels. These animals
are also on exhibition at Boise this week
Truly our Jonathan Valley friends may
well feel proud OF the showing mad,
from their section, and the results al
Boise will he closely watched.

Mr.. c. +. Strong, who lives & miles
northeast, has fully demonstrated that
the North Side is not so far behindin the
matter of growing corn. He last week
gathered his crop of corn from l. 3 acres,
which Melted him lO3l9 bushels. Taken
into consideration the amount used ioI
roasting ears and other purposes, Charley
will gamble that 40 bushels per acre is
fair estimate for the crop. This CROP
was raised on new land, and had only
one irrigation, and in fact was not given
the very best OF attention.

TWO OF TAR PARTY GUILTY
KANSAS JURY HAD BEEN OUT
DAY AND HALF.
Must Also Pay Court Costs, But Win
Time to Settle Their Affairs
Four Others Get Year.

Lincoln, Center, Kansas.-Two OF
the three defendants in the "tar par
ty" case, John Schmidt and Sher-
rl Clark, were found guilty of assault
and battery by a jury in Judge Gro
ver's court that had been out since
1880 o'clock Thursday morning. A.
N. Simms, the third defendant, was
acquitted.
At a night session of the court sen
tence was deferred and the defense
given until December 18 to prepare a
motion for a new trial.
Earlier in the day in the same court
sentences of one year each in the
county Jail, the extreme penalty in
Kansas for the offense charged, we're
passed on Everett G, Clark, Jay Fitz-
water, Watson Scranton and Edward
Ricord, confessed assailants of Mary
Chamberlain. These defendants were
accused of the same crime as the 9th
er men.
In addition to the sentences, the
court ruled that the men must pay
the costs of the prosecution. An eff
fort was made by attorneys for Fitz-
water and Clark to have the court en-
terrain a motion to grant an appeal to
the supreme court on the ground that
the sentence was excessive. This mo-
ton was not passed on.

Don't Get Gay.

Attorney General Wickersham says
he cannot understand why a small
business man injured by a trust does
not take advantage of the law which
permits the collection. by civil action.
of threefold damages.
This is positively Mr.. Wickersham's
first appearance as a humorist II he
were not at the head of the depart
ment Of justice he would not be funny
at all.
BY the time that a trust gets
through with a small business man
the small business man has about as
much fight in him as a chipmunk. II
he were able to fight he would first
of all have to prove that there was a
trust, and that is something that the
attorney general, with all the power
of the United States behind him. has
not done many times as yet.
Mr.. Wickersham should not get gay.
The lips of small business men are
sore and 1t hurts chem to laugh.

Counsel Hopes President Taft VIII

Washington, D. C.-President Taft
refused to cvommute the sentence
of Charles w. Morse, New York bank
er, now in the federal penitentiary at
Atlanta, but directed the warden of
the prison to transfer Morse to the
United States army hospital at Fort
MCPHERSON, near Atlanta, for medical
treatment.
Counsel for Morse is hopeful that
the president will consider further the
plea that Morse is near death, and
pardon him to save him from dying in
prison.
The new appeal for a pardon for
Morse was made to President Taft by
H. F. Daugherty and 7. B. Fielder, at
torneys for Morse. United States
District Attorney Wise of New York
was present.
Morse was declared to have so
failed in health that he would not
live long. Attorney General Wicker

tariff is quite as much at issue in
the present election as it can be In

every manufacturing state to show to
the national administration the at

no doubt but he brought every posi-.
