Popular Young People United in Mar
riage Saturday Evening.

A wedding marked by quiet simpli-
city and impressiveness, occurred on
Saturday evening, February II, 1912
at 6 o'clock, at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. w. H. Dygert on Blue Lakes
boulevard, when their daughter, Miss
Rose, was united in marriage to Mr..
M. Earl Felt, Rev. John Gourley of the
Presbyterian church, officiating. In
the presence of only the immediate re-
latives, the bride and groom took their
places, unattended, beneath a bower
Of ferns where the impressive ring
ceremony was spoken The rooms
were very attractively decorated with
ferns and large vases of pink and
white roses. The bride wore a most
becoming dress of marquisette voille
in Copenhagen blue, with a beautiful
corsage bouquet of pink roses. Fol-
lowing the ceremony and congratula-
lions sumptuous dinner was served,
the predominating colors, pink and
white, being used with very pretty eff
feet in the adjoining of the dining room
and the table.
The bride has been very popular
and successful teacher in the Lincoln
school in this city for the past two
years and there and in her social life
she has endeared herself to host of
friends because of her winsome per-
sonality.
The groom has resided in Twin Falls
for sometime as a member of the firm
of Atwood & Felt, which company he
recently succeeded as sole owner and
manager. He is a young man, possess
ing those sterling qualities which make
for clean, successful manhood and
stands high in the estimation of the
community. Mr.. and Mrs. Felt will be
at home after March Is in their resi-
dence on 9Th avenue East.
Miss Edith Dygert of Burley and
John Dygert of Gooding, sister and
brother of the bride, were in attend
ance at the wedding.
The Times joins with the many
friends in extending sincere congra-
tulations and good wishes.

mand such news or they would get it.
1t is safe to say that not over twenty
per cent of the subscribers of any pa
per read the editorial page of their
paper. Two years ago the News went
to great deal of trouble in explain
ing to the voter the operations of the
direct primary law and yet on the day
OF the primaries not even one-half of
the voters who read the News took the
trouble to go to the polls, and half of
those who did vote claimed they had
no knowledge whatever of the plan of
voting at the primary. When asked if
they had not seen the explanations in
the News these men claimed they
never even read the political articles
in newspaper. The Farmers union
is on record as favoring direct legisla-
ton. The News favors it, but we can
not help having our doubts about the
successful operation of such a system
of enacting laws when the voters prove
so Indifferent to public questions Out
side of one or two of the main offices
in the state the average citizen pays no
attention to the kind of men who are
running for office. Four years ago the
people elected secretary of the state
who publicly admitted that he was a
CRATER. Nearly every paper in the
state gave the voters the facts in that
instance and yet SO strong was party
fealty and SO Indifferent were the peo-
pie that this man was elected by a
very safe margin. A good many we'll
Informed men and large number of
newspaper men fight all such legisla-
ton as direct primaries, initiative and
referendum and other much-called-for
reform measures. These men and
newspapers are popularity believed to
belong to the big interests and there
may be some truth in that belief, yet
there are men and editors who have
watched the blind participation of the
uniformed in government affairs and
who do not hesitate to oppose these re-
form measures from honest convic-
tons. If the people want more power
they should use their present powers
with a nicer discrimination and better
judgment; the other things will then
come as matter Of course.-Troy

STATE BLOWERS ARE SENTENCED
Lester Brothers Are Sent to Fort Leay-
-enwOrth for the Kimberly Robbery.

Refusing to ask the court for an at
forney or to get one themselves
George and Harry Lester, charged
with the robbery of the postoffice at
Kimberly last year, pleaded guilty in
the federal court yesterday morning,
and were given four and two years,
respectively, in the penitentiary at
Fort Leavenworth. In addition the
court fined each Of them 500.
Addressing the court themselves, the
brothers admitted that they had blown
open the postoffice safe, and that they
had taken from it the money and
stamps that it contained. AS George
was the older of the two and seemed to
have led the way for his younger
brother, the court gave him the double
penalty for the crime.
This clears the way now for the
plea of Paul A. Jensen, the other al
legged robber Of the Kimberly office,
which will be entered in court this
morning Thomas Burke, accused of
the robbery of the office at Picabo,
entered his plea of not guilty yester
day morning. The two robberies have
attracted considerable attention in the
state, as one followed close on the
heels of the other The officers, who
declare that they have followed both
gangs all Of the way from Salt Lake to
the scene Of their activities, soon had

SHOT WHILE RESISTING ARREST
Russell Altman of Carey, Shot Dead by
Officer OF the Law.

HALEY, Feb. 17.-Russell Altman
was shot dead at Picabo by Constable
Irwin e. Eldredge of Carey at about 9
O'Clock Friday night, and the body was
brought to this city today, where an
inquest will be held Monday morning.
rms shooting was the climax of an
incident tina aroused the country
around Carey and Picabo to a high
pitch. Friday afternoon Altman, who
was a young man of about "a years, a
native of North Carolina, was arrested
by Constable Eldredge, charged with a
statutory offense. At the time the
young man offered no resistance. The
officer took him to his home with him
and gave him his supper, intending to
place him in the county Jail later
there to await his hearing.
Watching his chance, Altman gave
the officer the slip and escaped. Con-
stable Eldredge gave chase at once. He
followed Altman to Picabo, and there
overlook him, but there the fugitive
showed fight. He resisted arrest and
continued to run after being ordered to
stop. He also threatened violence if
interfered with. Constable Eldredge
again ordered the man to halt and sur
render, and on a second refusal he
hred. Altman dropped dead, the shot
passing through his body.
Young Altman was a farm hand. He
had been in this section about a year
and half, coming from the south.
He had been working for M. F. Larsen
on farm near Carey, and the three
stepdaughters Of Mr.. Lawson, aged IS
to II, were his victims, and would
have been the complaining witnesses
against him at his trial.
Sentiment here seems to be entirely
with the officer who did the shooting.
1t is felt that he did his duty, and that
there was no other course for him to
follow under the circumstances

The reason why most attempts per-

fail is because they are not sufficient

proper procedure is to anaesthetize
the patient with ether or some other
general anesthetic, then remove, surgi-

tends to grow wrongly. The anesthetic
permits the surgeon to dissect out
the entire section Of the nail to it's

Indifference IN POLITICS.
American People Are Much to Blame
for Present Conditions.

The indifference of the American
people to the political conditions of
their country and state is responsible
for that which is wrong in our coun-
try The great majority of the people
OF this country are very much dissatis-
fied with present conditions and yet
these same people who are discomfort
ed have never tried to interest them
selves in the politics of their country
and state. They have voted but have
been supremely Indifferent as to the
kind OF men they have helped to elect
to office. The common people of Eng
land and France know more about
what their parliaments are doing than
our best informed men know about the
doings of our congress and the legisla-
ture OF the state. The press is parti-
ally responsible for this condition be-
cause they do not give the public the
full facts, but the public does not de-

Here are the facts:

A meeting of the Republican County
Central Committee was duly called
to select a chairman in place of
}. M. Hale, chairman, who had moved
from the county; and for such other
business as might properly come be-
fore the meeting.
There are 10 precinct committeeman
and the chairman and the secretary.
OF these, there were present only A. |.
Mcmahon, the secretary, and l.. r.
Adams of Rupert and J. w. O'Connell
of Devoe-three in all. Gooding was
represented by John Thomas, as a
proxy for Water Gooding, precinct
committeeman, and Jerome by Jerry
Martin, who was that day accepted as
delegate from that precinct. This
made five members, of whom two were
only by courtesy or by new appoint-
ment qualified to sit.
Thomas was made chairman; Mar
tin presented typewriter resolution
endorsing Taft. 1t was finally sec
onded by O'Connell, who announced
his strong preference for Roosevelt,
but doubted if he would secure the
nomination. 1t was put to a vote, and
here is the vote: Adams, aye; Martin,
aye; O'Connell, aye; Mcmahon, no.
The fanatical Taft Statesman, or it's
fanatical correspondent, put this up as
the sentiment of a representative body
OF Lincoln county Republicans, acting
in their official capacity of guardians
of the party sentiment and interests
here. 1t would have been a fool thing
to do, even if it had been really
strong, representative gathering of the
party leaders. 1t was not unanimous.
as reported. To introduce such a reso-
luton at such a meeting, with three

ent, and in face of the sentiment which
any man of sense absolutely knows
prevails in Lincoln county, and in
clear view of the prophecies, was asin-
unity gone to seed. 1t was the apo-
theosis of the prayer of the man who
prayed: "Oh, Lord, we will not trouble
Thee to deliver us from our enemies
we have been able to lick them so far:
but Lord, deliver us from our fool
friends"

How it Was Manufactured in Lincoln
County.

Announcement was made in the
Statesman, Wednesday morning in a
haring head over telegram from Sho-
shone, that the Republican County
Central Committee of Lincoln County

the denomination of President Taft.
Knowing that such an action does
not now, never did and probably never
