Jacob Sailer met with a peculiar nc
cident II day last week. While out

and landing Mr.. Sailer under the ma.

iously injured. though he vas con.
fined to his bed n few days. The ma

JOHN A. LOGAN WAS REAL
FOUNDER OF MEMORIAL DAY

General John A. Logan was the real
founder of Memorial day, On May 5.
1868, he was commander Of the Repub.
lie and as such gave the order that
Decoration day be generally celebrated
on May 80. One reason for the date
doubtless was that it was on May 30
that the last Union volunteer of the
war was discharged.
General Logan was born in 1926,
served in congress from Illinois as a
Douglas Democrat, resigned to go into
the war, fought at Fort Henry, and
Donelson, being wounded at the last
named; commanded the center before
Vicksburg, became military governor
of the city after the surrender, served
fer several years in the United States
senate and was a candidate for vice
president with Blaine in 1884 After
his defeat he returned to the senate.

bees in this country, who has the
right idea When cold weather comes
on in the fall, he ships his bees to
California, where they wake up when
they feel warm, balmy breezes and
get on the honey making job POGO
pronto. After they fill up the hives
with California honey, and spring
starts up here, they are loaded on the
cars and come back up here. This
year the man has hit on new plan
and not being satisfied with daylight
work, he has sent to the big woods
of Indiana, and there has a contract
with the natives to furnish fire-flies
which he contemplates crossing with
the bees, furnishing the latter light
enough as the sun sets SO that they
will not know when night comes, and
fool them into working twanty-four
Lours per day. The scheme has any
thing in the perpetual w,.k line beai-
en- city block, and if tne lighting Of
mo bees sclk as the C. vner exns.s,

OEFENBACH WlTHDRAWS
FROM INTERNATIONAL RACE

Bryon Defenbach of Standpoint ha &
announced his withdrawal from the
gubernatorial contest. This narrows
the field among the Republicans to
three contestants-John M. Haires
and John T. Morrison of Boise and
Paul Clagstone of Clagstone. Steph-
en- D. Taylor, state auditor, who was
a tentative candidate, has also with
drawn from the race and will be a
candidate for reelection as state aud
tort. 1t appears that he will have lit
tie opposition.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Defenbach,
while it clarifies the political atmo-
sphere, takes out of the race first
class man and strong candidate.
The mention Of his name for the Re
publican gubernatorial nomination
was permitted in good faith and the
motives actuaintg him in withdraw
ing from the contest are equally sin
cere. Neither step was taken for the
purpose Of influencing, eihter for good
or bad, the candidacy of anyone else,
nor is his withdrawal the result of
any combination whatever. Mr. Def
enbach concluded that with three as
pirants from his own county the
chances of success Of any one of them
were slight. His withdrawe will tend
to promote the harmony so much
desired and so essential to party sue

Break At Water Works

Wednesday there was a break in
the pumps OF the city water works,
winch deprived the city Of sufficient
water with which to sprinkle streets
The result was that there was sand
storm raging all day, and great dam
aga vas done to stocks of goods, ma
chinery and other things, besides the
great inconvenience that the residents
were put too. The town is growing to
such an extent that the demand fer
water is increasing. which will event
ually lead to better conditions, better
equipment at the water works and
better service to the public.
