Dr.. Fairly has Near Accident.

DR.. Fairly came near meeting with an
accident Of serious nature
Wednesday. He was returning from
the Decker meadow, accompanied by
his wife, and met some teams on the
Sanders grade. The road was very
narrow and Mrs. Fairly got out Of. the
buggy, and the doctor turned out Of
the road on the lower side; the horses
began to slip on the steep embank-
ment, and to prevent the rig
overturning, the Doctor turned
the team straight over the bank to-
ward the Henry Loseth road below.
The way they took the cutoff was
not slow, and in less time than it takes
to tell it, the outfit was punched
at the foot Of the hill, with
the horses under the buggy. II
took but short time to extricate the
animals and get them hitched up again.
No damage was done. Only the pres
ence ofmind and expert driving of DR..
Fairly prevented bad wreck, but he
does not care to give such an exhibit
ton Of skillful driving every day.

There are 1900 appeals from
the general land office to the sec
rotary of the interior, on file in
the office Of the secretary, and
that officer has asked for an APP
preparation to defray the expense
Of additional help in considering
and passing on the appeals.
These cases involve the rights Of
claimants to homesteads and min
eral lands, claims Of railroads to
grant lands, and claims Of western
states to school lands, and a null
titude Of other cases relating to
interests that are located in the
western states. Congressman
French has introduced a bill maxi
ing the needed appropriation,
and il it passes we may expect
more speedy action on many of
the cases affecting lands in Idaho,
and particularly in Clearwater
county.

supervise our county affairs.
They have an idea thas the COM
missioner from any district in the
county, should have sufficient
knowledge of the roads in his
district, and the men who are
competent to be good road over
seers, to see that qualified men
are appointed to fill the office Of
road overseer, and that if the
commissioner from a district is not
competent or willing to see that
his overseers have the road work
done right, new commissioners
should be secured.

The sanitarium at Blackfoot
is full to its capacity, and several
persons who are ordered COM
mitted to a state institution, have
been sent from South Idaho to
Orofino. The amendments made
to the laws, by which feeble
minded persons may be commit
ted to this place, was not supple
mented by an additional appro-
priation for maintenance, and the
chances are that the funds set
aside for this institution will be
exhausted before the end Of this
biennial term, unless the most
rigid economy is practiced. Nu-
merous Improvements Of a minor
nature, at the Orofino institution,
and additions to the equipment
were planned by the board Of
trustees, but the want of money
prevents them acting in the mat
ter. In the meantime the inmates
have to undergo numerous dis
comforts, which the ordinary
man or woman would be loath TO
endure. It is not the fault Of the
management Of the state institu-
tions that the present condition
obtains, but the blame rests upon
the legislature for its failure to
enact the needed appropriation
laws for the benefit Of the several
institutions. Had provision been
made for the Nampa institution,
it would have taken part Of the
population from the Orofino and
Blackfoot sanitariums, and would
have relieved 1.-THE situation very
much. This not having been
done, and the conditions develop
ing that have been disclosed, it
appears that the governor would
be justified in calling an extra
session Of the legislature for the
consideration Of matters of special
Importance to the state.

At last the resignation (?) of
MIR. Thompson, as general road
overseer, is an accomplished fact,
and q majority of the taxpayers
will approve the action Of the
board in accepting (?) it. This is
not because Of any objection to
Mr.. Thompson, but for the reason
that a great many do not believe
It necessary to fill this position.
A great number of our people are
old fashioned, and they do not
believe we need so many men to

$IOO, 900 ASKED
 FOR BY BRYAN
 FROM CONGRESS

Washington, Aug. 2-Secretary Bry- an today vigorously disclaimed that his request to Congress to appropriate $1oo, ,OO0 for bringing destitute Aneri-. cans from Mexico Tad any connection with any policy lie administration may evolve in dealing with the Mexi- can situation.
 Statements attempting to put a scare head construction upon the re- quest for an appropriation are entirely without excuse and cannot be explain ed upon any theory consistent with an iaterest in the rllEIic welfare he said
 ''In furnishing aid to any indigent person desiring to leave Mexico the government is simply doing what st 6oes at any time vixen American lives ar. ir, danger Joy insurrection aud there is no reason why anybody should at tempt to Inisconstrue it.
 From the f1rSt the president has be- iieved that in crises in turbulent re- pl1LIIcs the single solicitude Of the American government should be pro lection of life and property.
 The administration, while hopeful that peace negotiations may bring the two factions to a suspension of hos tFlities, realizes that with the elinnina- ton of Huerta or any other political change Americans may become alarm ed. and the desire to obtain funds with which to care for those Wao may be anxious to leave Mexico is a precau- tionary measure.

Death of Father Sweeney

(Continued from Page One.) spoke warm spots in the hearts of all for Father Sweeney, for whose re- covery they had been told there was little hope.
 The end came a few minutes after 10 o'clock last night. Fathers Judge, Mooney and Fitzgerald, and two sls- ters of Father Sweeney, were with him at the last. News of Father Sweeney s death spread quickly through the city. Many were the Catholic homes in which prayers were offered for the re- pose of his soul
 Father Fitzgerald, now the super visor of parochia1 schools of the Hart ford diocese, was formerly a curate in the Sacred Heart parish. The warmest friendship existed between the two priests, and Father Fitzgerald has tened to the bedside of Father Swee- ney when he was apprised that the end was near.
 Father Sweeney was especially for tunate in his assistants. During his illness, Fathers Judge and Mooney shouldered the duties of the parish with such efficiency that the mind of the rector was greatly relieved of the onerous responsibilities of his post
 Father Sweeney was a member of the Knights of Columbus, and of the Ancient Order of Hiberntans. He was prominent in the latter order, chaplain for Fairfield county and a generous contributor to it's many enterprises. It is expected that Division No. 1, A. O, H. of this city, will be represented by & delegation at the funeral the mem bers of which will march in the cor tege.

 Springfield, Ills. Aug. 2.-searching inquiry is being made today by Cor oner Rhodes to- determine the cause of the mysterious death late last night of A. T. Kammerer, a prominent young druggist of this city, who was in good health yesterday morning when he went to the office of Dr. R. G. Hum to have tooth pulled.
 pr. Hum still insists that MT. Ram merer drank a quart of whiskey be- fore the tooth was pulled. He admits he pulled the tooth while the drug gist was lying on the floor. When asked why he denied that MT. Kam- merer was in his office when friends inquired about him, Dr. Hum said he wanted MT. Kammerer to get out of the effects of the stimulant.
 Coroner Rhodes says examination of the stomach failed to reveal the presence of whiskey.
