Raise Coffee Near Meridian.

Alex Wilson, a prominent far,
mer and practical gardner, living
near Meridian, who is quite well
known in Nampa, has demon.
strated 10 the public and to his
own satisfaction that coffee raising
is not an improbability in this
valley, He has produced samples
Of the bean which he has found
will grow and mature,
The beans are very prolific and
when roasted makes beverage
which very few can tell from other
high grade coffee imported into
the country. Mr., Wilson declares
that it can be produced at a profit
to the producer at a half cent a
pound. He declares that it is far
superior and much cheaper than
postum and other substitutes for
coffee that are offered and is per-
fectly healthful and free from
narcotic effect. -Nampa Record.

STORES ROBBED
Burglars Break Into the Stores Of
Tanner & Best and Gull
bertsOn Cash Store

Considerable excitement was occas,oued
in Cnlberison Yesterday morning by the
news that the Bis Store OF Tanner 4 Best
and the Culbertson Cash Store Of {. l..
Fclkestad's had been burelarized during
the night.
At Tanner & Best's the burglar tried to
enter the store through the warehouse at
the back. which he had no difficultv in
breaking into. but could not get through
the hre.prooi doors between tina, and the
main store. So he broke into the storm
shed at the side door. then broke window
il the b.e side door and entered. opening
the door from the inside afterwards.
From the big store the robber secured
about Sra from the change drawer and an
automatic revolver worth about Sac. Moth
ing else was missed from this store
Al the Falkestad store the robL~r broke
the back window. reached up and unlocked
the window catch. raised the window and
climbed into the store. after ~h,eh he op.
ened the back door from Ise INSIDE Here

some watches and rings were taken and at
least one fur overcoa, and perhaps t~o
we're missing. lie lefi the back door open
shen he made his getaway.
Only one man entered each store. IL is
thought aud the same man did both jobs
From the tracks in the snow in the back
Yards Of both places the robber was .
small man wearing about a No. o shoe
without overshoes.
Viii Stahl says he has . very definite
idea Of who the party was that entered the
Big Store. but will not diyulge his name q,
this stage Of the game
The robber tried the door at the back oi
the Gold Dollar Saloon about "a. 80 O'Clock
out when w. T. stephens, who was sleep
ing in the back room. went TO the door
there was no one there. We understand
that burglars tried to enter the Mccormack
Confectionery store about the same time
but were scared away.

subject Of an interesting historic ar

Callie Frey, at the recent meeting of

10 the absence of Mr.. Hill, who is
spending the winter in the South.
The article is given below in full:
i have been requested frequently
to dscribe an incident that occurred
during the war between the States,
Maulsby's Battery in which enlisted,
rattery OF the First West Virginia
Light Artillery from Marion County.
While we were at Martinsburg,
West Virginia. in the Valley of Vir-
ginia, early in June, 1865, General
Robert e. Lee undertook to invade
the North. He came down the Val
ley and found us at Martinsburg with
two regiments OF infantry consisting
of the 126th Ohio Volunteers and a
New York Regiment with orders to
check the advance of Lees army as
loEg as possible. We proceeded to
obey orders and do this but did not
make much Roadway at it; and were
soon ordered to retreat. Before We
got far one of the linch-pins came out
of the gun carriage l was driving and
let the wheel off and the axle down
on the ground. The captain ordered
us to unhitch the horses from the
carriage and leave it. The burnt
powder and flying bullets at that time
were making things very disagreeable
not to shy dangerous and the horses
were terribly frightened. The can
roneer who unhitched my horses did
not take time to put up the traces
End when we started again with the
intention Of getting away from the
opportunity of visiting Libby Prison,
unfortunately for me. one Of the
traces became entangled around one
of the front legs of the horse | was

his left side bending the stirrup and
fastening my foct il it so | could
not get it out of the stirrup. As the
horse got up | held on to the bride
with my left hand and caught the har-
ness britching with my right hand.
The horse was now still more fright

and around in the road with my foot
still fast in the stirrup, with one hand
holding the bride rein and the other
the harness; and, the other foot on
the ground, so that to keep my foot
