Witness Shows Butts Legislative Committee Four Different Ways

Chicago, Aug. Additional ways of tampering with voting machine were pointed out to the Butts legis- lative committee by Prof. c. E. De Puy of the Lewis institute.
 The witness produced wire clip a bent wire" piece of 'angle steel' and an ordinary rubber band, any one of which, he demonstrated to the committee, could be placed on the face of the machine in such way that only an expert could detect it.
 With these simple devices the will of the people of the entire city, he said, might be defeated in the regis tration of ballots.
 He showed four ways in which the front of the machine could be tam pered with and five ways in which the election officials might tamper with the inner mechanism by unlocking rear doors.

ter Notwithstanding the supposed
double inspection and double expen-
Sc.
One of the things that destroys
the commerce of China is the collec-
ton of duty at the boundary of
each province the goods cross or
enter into, and provinces very far
from the port of entry do not get
much of the goods except at prohi-
bitive prices. Daniel Webster in his
great Grafton on Liberty and Union
deplored the prospect Of having a
custom house at the crossing of every
river or state line, and the people
of Idaho are now witnessing the OPP
Grafton of laws which discourage
shipping in nursery stock or ship
ping it out, and the two nurseries
which have been built up at Black
foot by long enterprising struggle
are being depleted and are not being
kept up for future supply. 1t is due
very materially to inspection that
prohibits. What applies to nursery
stock applies to live stock and many
other things.

PITITABLE FATE.

There was heroism and resigna-
ton not hard to imagine in the death
OF B. S. Walker, a Macon banker last
week, yet it is only given person a
few times in a life to witness such
an ordeal so unflinchingly met. Last
Wednesday week ago young Walker
swallowed a bichloride of mercury
tablet which he mistook for ahead
ache tablet. Medicine has no anti
dote for that poison. His physicians
told him he might live a day or two
or possibly week, but in the end he
would die. They were power1ess to
help him. He died week later.
The banker bore himself finely I'M
der this fatal decree. Until the poi
son compelled him to go to bed, he
went along the usual tenor of his way
Among other things he attended a
reception to bankers whose associa-
ton was holding a convention in Mac
on. Friends who attempted through
kindness to give him some shred of
hope were smilingly assured that if
he had only few days to live, he
would make the best of those days.
He did so up to the end.
There have been cases of this kind
in fiction and the Sunday feature
writer's have submitted to prominent
citizens the hypothetical question as
to what they would do if they had
but a given time to live. In fiction
the "heroes" have taken it with
cheerful philosophy, while to the
hypothetical question of the Sunday
supplement writer the answers have
been in effect, substantially like the
Banker Walkers answer in real life.
Still it is a test that puts nerve to
the touch and which the bravest
would shrink from undergoing.
There is pity about it that pass
es understanding. The anguish of
family condemned to a deathwatch,
unable to help, informed by the high
est medical authority that there is no
reprieve, make the tragedy a new
experience in human helplessness
and sorrow. But the bearing of the
man with knowledge of his fate, rails
ed what might we'll have been
waste of grief into a noble passing.
1t is easy to create characters in
fiction or to answer hypothetical
questions and be brave, but actual
experience of this kind are as soul
trying as they are unique.-Wallace

BUSINESS INSPECTED TO DEATH

A few weeks ago we mentioned
the expensive delay which w. A
Younie got into when he loaded &
car of goods for shipment into Calf
ornia and on account of a pet COW
and pet pony he had to nold the
car from day to day until they could
be inspected.
Last week Mr.. w. C. Cannon made
sale of ten sucking pigs to q man
in Wyoming, and when he brought
the crate of pigs to town to express
them out he was informed that there
is state law requiring sucking pigs
tc pass inspection before billing. Mr..
Cannon hunted up Inspector South
worth and found that it would cost
him five dollars for inspection, and
that was more than he considered he
was making on the pigs. Nothing
doing in the pig line!
Several parties have sent down to
Portland or good old Missouri for
shrubs, ferns, geraniums or pansies,
and when the goods arrive at the
express office at Blackfoot, the
courteous agent gets a message to
them right away, telling them of the
arrival Of live plants that need at
tention, but he has to tell them also
that there is state law requiring
that geranium or pansy or what
soever it may be in the plant or tree
line, shall be duly inspected before
delivery.
One instance where a lady had
purchased 35 cent plant and paid
35 cents express, required hunting
up the inspector and paying a go
cent inspection bill. The purpose is
to keep insects out of the state, but
1t is grave question whether it will
not also keep out q lot of other
things, and Inspect to death" the

A SPORTSMANS PARADISE
Idaho Falls Register

ldan0 rails Register
There are not a great many Access
sible places left in Idaho where the
| fishing, bird shooting and deer hunt
ing are to be found In sucn quantity
that it will tempt the amateur
sportsman. To the seasoned sports
man who goes into it for the real
fun of the thing and to whom time
nor money is no material object,
many opportunities are present, but
this is written for the man who
loves the game but who can not af-
ford to indulge in it only at spe-
cial times and just when things are
right, when the fishing and hunting
grounds are easily reached and where
the game may be found without
being obliged to travel too far and
necessitate an expensive travelling
and camping outfit. The Lost River
section of south central Idaho pre-
sents the opportunity.
There are a number OF places with
in this vicinity where the sport is
good for the Lost river section in
cludes a great territory. The valley
proper is not so vast, being confined
on either side by steep mountain
ranges which open into passes" at
frequent intervals, these passes
being the means of outlet or unsur-
passed fishing streams and provid-
ing an easy roadway to less steep
mountain ranges, where in season,
the chicken shooting is good, said
to be the best in the state, and
where getting a shot at deer is to
be expected by the average hunter,
particularly If accompanied by a
native" or one familiar with the
section, one who lives there. There
are a few scattered elk back of the
first mountain range but they are
scarce and that is not an elk coun-
try, they being willing to leave that
honor to Jackson Hole Mountain
sheep and goat are seen and frequen-
thy shot. The antelope Is in album
dance and while protected the ina
tive" has been known, so it is stat
ed, to "get one" occasionally It
is the deer and the trout fishing,
however, which furnish the ideal
! sport, and what is better, even the
amateur fisherman is assured of a
string of fish.
While the fishing is good through
out the Lost River section from Ar
co to beyond Mackay, 1t is of the
section around Leslie that Is under
