cause he was not in sympathy with the
policy OF the party organization. He had
been out OF sympathy with the course of

he declared.
II was disappointed in that meeting,
he said, "as I considered that the result
of the Presidential election made it evil

Mr.. Warren. who wrote the opinion now

, In reaching his conclusion Mr.. Warren
quotes extensively from national conven-
tons OF the party from that Of 1856 TO

was:

ing in national conventions now. aside
from representation from the territories,
territorial possessions and the District OF
Columbia being a number Of delegates

The reasons given are, no cholera,

]. c. Basor Killed.

News reached Meridian this
week of the death Of "Old Dad"
Basor, a former we'll known citi-
zen, at Bureau, Illinois. The news
came in letter to P. l.. 5maus,
aud states that the old man,as was
his usual custom, started 70 cross
the Rock Island track, between
his home and the town, about
8 O'Clock on the evening of Feb
ruary 9Th. He was going to the
home of his daughter, returning
from trip to the store. He ap-
parently did not see or hear the
approaching engine, which struck
him, knocking him from the track.
He was bruised but little outside,
but internal injuries caused his
death after two hours, during
which he did not regain conscious
ness.
The funeral was held next day,
burial being in the cemetery at
Heaton Point, near Bureau, and
beside the wife and other relatives
in the family lot. Mrs. Basor,
wife, died in Meridian two years
ago and when MIR. Bas or was thus
left alone, he decided to spend
the remainder of his life with his
two daughters at Bruneau. they
being the only children.
Mr.. Basor was 78 years old las1
May. He was an old soldier, and
has a good war record, going with
an Ohio company. The family
moved to Meridian twelve years
ago. Five years they resided on
ranch, q miles southwest OF town
and afterwards bought a hom'
south of the j. nj. Anderson furn
iture store, in Meridian, wher'
they resided for many years. "clC
Dads" confectionery and ciga
stand was a familiar place in year
gone bye. He had many goo'
qualities, and was especially fon'
of little children, and he alway
carried with him some goodie
which he dispensed with a laVisl
hand. Old Dad may have had hi
faults but these were more tha
offset by kind heart and homes
intentions.

LOST PIN MYSTERY

One of the mysteries OF the world Is
certainly the pin. In astounding guam
titles they pour from numerous factor
les, principally in Birmingham. One
mill alone is credited with turning out
nearly 100000 pins day. and no
one has ever attempted the calculation
Of the worlds output. A pin is thing
which, in the ordinary way, would last
for years. and it is a problem to ac-
count for the necessity for making
such enormous quantities.
The explanation is undoubtedly that
pins are so cheap that everyone
throws away or loses them as fast as
they use them. Thousands and thou
sands of them enter the sewers OF
our towns, and solid masses are often
found where innumerable examples Of
these tiny articles have become weld
ed together in their passage through
the sewers.
The output of pin factory includes
dozens Of different sizes, from the
tiny pins used by naturalists, only
a quarter of an inch long, and as fine
as hair, to giant blanket pins four
inches in length. and nearly as thick
as wire nail.
Hairpins are another example Of
useful articles made to be lost; they
follow the fate of the common pin.
and descend in continual shower on
the paths and floors of every civil
lied country. Says the Star: One

there were over 5000 hairpins lying on

made by automatic machines, which

wire in a single operation.

CYCLE OF THE RAINDR0P

A German professor named Mein-

lating how long drop of water stays
in the ocean before it is evaporated,
and how soon 1t returns to the sea.
Calculating-he does not say how-the
total evaporation from the surface of
the ocean and estimating the total
volume of water in the ocean, drop
of water entering the ocean will stay
there 1850 years, provided it awaits
it's turn to be evaporated. However,
the professor admits that the surface
water stands good chance Of getting
ahead OF its turn. The average stay
out of the ocean is only IL days.
