Too One Sided.

A boxing match was pulled off at the
Amusement hall as per announcement
last Friday evening The Nebraska man
failing to appear, Monahan, "a local boxer
OF Bull was substituted, who came over
without any training and met the Dane.
While the former had the advantage OF
the Dane in the way OF weight, he was
lacking in science, and the first round
showed that the latter had the best Of
the fight However, Monahan stood
bravely up for four rounds, receiving
several severe blows from the Dane
which fioored him, although he soon re-
gained his feet, until near the close OF
the fourth round he received blow from
which he did not recover before time
was called.
Mr.. W. X. Forbes refereed the fight,
which was witnessed by acrowd of inter
ested spectators, hut not sufficiently large
to net the management any magnificent
sum. This is the second contest that has
been pulled of here recently and the at
tendance at either one would indicate
that not enough interest is manifested IL
these exhibitions to warrant pulling then

Off For An Outing.

The Lend Hand Club, chaperoned
by Mrs Hoffman and Rev. and Mrs.
Junhin, left Tuesday morning for
wecl,' outing at the Bickel ranch. The
club is composed Of girls only and it was
merry crowd that started out, a hay
rack full of them besides other convey
anccs The following girls made up the
party:
Ruth Gerboth, Stella Cook, Vera Cook,
Eunice Williamson, Inez Gurwell, Shirley
German, Dorthy Hill, Gladys Emmett,
Alma Walker, Johanna Arps, Emma
Peterson, Maude Heasley, Laura Thorpe,
Ella Thorpe, Lillian May. Katherine
Godfrey, Virginia White, Virginia Oliver,
Florence Junkin, Florence Avery, Helen
Junkin, Joann Hogshire, Alice Piper.
As they were passing our door they
handed us the following little rhyme
which explains their motive and the Joy
they take in the work:
The Lend hand club
Two dozen strong,
Left Tuesday morning in one throng
To camp at Bickels' ranch.
Each with box, gunny sack or grip,
Filled with Eats;
Beans and Bacon and the likes OF it,
For to camp at Bickels' ranch
In after years when old and grey,
We'el like to think Of the August day
When we hiked away;
Twenty-four strong, to camp at
Bickels' ranch.
Our lend hand is a gracious band,
Our aim is this
To lend hand whene'e r we can,
Even though it leads TO a camp at
Bickels' ranch.
The outing was conceived by Mrs
Hoffman, who takes much interest in the
work OF the girls, and it is unnecessary
to add that she will have her hands Jul
the remainder of this week, and Rev
Jnnkin will have little time to prepar,
his sermon if he is expected to catch fish
enough TO supply this hungry crowd
We bespeak for them most pleasan
time.

Entitled to Due Credit.

James II. Wallis, Idaho's pure food
comes in for his share oil
criticism for enforcing the pure food
laws. but il cannot be said but what he
is doing his duty, and the most OF the
criticism comes from the fellow who Is
caught doing business in an unsantary
way. That he is closely watching the
food stuhs shipped into the state Is
evinced by the fact that last week he
caused an entire shipment of tomatoes
from the Utah Canning Co. to he de-
stroyed. \ test OF this product showed
that the tomatoes were OF an inferior
quality, and that the tin was in such a
condition that the action of the fruit on
the same was sufficient to make the pro-
duct unfit for food. We so often read OF
cases of ptomaine poisoning, that the ac-
ton of the inspector in this instance is
certainly worthy of the commentator OF
every resident OF the state as tomatoes
are a very staple article of canned goods.
This shipment embraced about l6,ON
cans, and arrangements were made with
the canning company whereby the goods
will be shipped back to Ogden and de
stroyed, the company preierring tins
plan in order to save the cases in which
they were shipped. The destruction o
the goods will be done under the super
vision OF an inspector sent by MIR. Wallis

A Double Tragedy.

The little town of Eden. situated on
the Short Line only few miles southeast
of Jerome, was the scene OF a double
tragedy last Friday when James Nichols,
a rancher, shot and killed a Mrs. Flor
ence Stockslager, and then turned the
weapon upon himself, both being found
dead short time afterwards. The de-
tails OF the tragedy are told as follows in
a dispatch from that place:
The tragedy took place near the
Nichols home. Mrs. Stockslager, re-
turning alone from visit to a sister
few miles distant, met Nichols in the
road. A man working near reports hav-
ing heard the woman scream" oh, JIM
and hurried in the direction and heard
five shots. He found the man and
woman both dead. The neighbors gath
cred nearby, but all were afraid to APP
proach the bodies, which lay there an
hour and half until two men of Twin
Falls, taking binder to the Nichols
place to set up, met boy who told them
man and woman were dead in the
road They hurried to the scene, exam
ined the bodies and notified the officers.
An examination showed the man shot
the woman through the heart and just
below the right breast. She was found
lying on her back as though with nevel
struggle. her hands folded across he
breast. He evidently shot himself once
fell to his knees and fired another shot
Then when on his back he fired a thirC
shot.
Mrs. Florence Stockslager was age,
about % years. She was the daughter o
Mrs. Jane Berry near Eden. She was
beautiful and attractive girl. She wa
married young to Guy Miner, son OF f
A. Miner of Bull. The marriage re
suited unhappily and divorce followed

THE TRI-COUNTY FAIR.
Deep Interest is Already Being
Shown in the Forthcoming
Exhibit.
Executive Committee Busy Select
ing the Grounds, Race
Course, Etc.

Inc announcement last week oil the
organization of the Tr-County Fair Asso-
citation and that the first exhibit would
be held at Jerome this year was sufficient
to create deep interest throughout the
three counties that formerly were in
cluded in the boundaries Of old Lincoln
county. Letters Of inquiry have since
been pouring in upon the secretary ask
ing for particulars regarding the same,
with assurances Of support from every
section. From the interest taken in the
matter already by the adjoining counties
We can safely state that the fair will be
success from every standpoint.
The executive committee has been
busy the past week arranging for the ex
hibition place, and selecting plat Of
ground that would be suitable for pulling
off the races, and we can state that
good half mile track will be prepared
and that the races will prove an inter-
esting feature of the fair.
At the request of this committee the
adjoining districts have forwarded the
following list of directors who will look
after their various districts and glance
at the list of names will convince all that
the management has been placed in good
hands.

A meeting of the entire directorate ha
been called for next Monday when tn
final details will be arranged. 1t ha
already become apparent that there Wi
be strong rivalry among the thre
counties for the sweepstake premium Of

to look well to her laurels if she expect
to carry oil the plum. An eXpensiv
loving cup will probably be hung up fo
this display and in addition to this tn

will be well worthy the attempt.
1t is most gratifying TO the committe
here the interest that is being manifesto
throughout the two adjoining countiel
and while magnificent display OF e,

nothing may be lacking TO entertain II

trouble was occasioned yesterday
morning in securing jury in the trial
Of Thomas H. Brown, rural mail car
.'ier, between Gladys and Naruna,
charged with criminal assault on an
lS-year-old girl named Reid, who was
his ward. Out of tbs venire of 23

court room of large and curious
crowd while she was on the stand,
and only court officials, jury and coun-

Richmond, Va, March 12.-The con-
stitutionality of an act of Congress of
August. 1888, and of Virginia sta
tute was involved in a decision head
ed down by Judge Smith of the Fed
eral Circuit Court of Appeals Tuesday

ers against the United States, involv-
ing the condemnation of lands to the
value of $4,000 in Warren county, Va.

COMMON COUNCIL.

ONLY eleven members of Council
we're present at the meeting last
night, Messrs. Lambert Graham,
Monroe, Bryan and Marshall being
absent.
The only matter that caused any
discussion or seemed to arouse the in
terest of the members generally was
the veto by the Mayor of resolu-
ton passed at the last meeting which
directed the finance committee to Sc
cure bids for the city printing, and to
make a II months contract with the
lowest bidder.
The Mayor in his veto said there
were four objections to the resolu-
ion. The resolution merely said
"all city printing" which was not
sufficiently definite, and the city
printing could be roughly divided
into two classes, advertising, which
includes the publication of council
proceedings, ordinances, ETC., in the
newspapers and supplies for the va
rous city officers, such as ledgers,
record books and various blanks and
forms. and that it was practically I'M
possible to let contract covering II
months in advance on this second
class. The resolution required no
bond to be given and did not specify
ths: size of type for newspaper adj
vertising, and finally the most import
ant objection was that he did not be-
lieve council had the right to dele
gate the power to make contracts tc
any committee, without first report
| ing to Council.
AS soon as the veto message was
read there were several mot:oas made
and the chair. decided that the one BY
Mr.. Birrell that the Mayors veto b.
sustained was proper and in order. 4
discussion at once started and Lasted
an hour. Mr.. Brockett got the foo

there will be Andrew Jackson Monta-
que, of Richmond, and E.. W. Saunders
iof Rocky Mount, on the floor of the
House. Both men are strong speak
ers. The few years uhat Judge Saun-
ders has been in the house he has es-
tablished a reputation as a strong de
batter and one of the best parliament
tarians. Judge Saunders is a ranking
member on the appropriations COM
mittee This committee is considered,
next to the ways and means, the most
important in the house. Congressman
Saunders is one of the economy"
leaders of congress. The Wilson ad-
nrinistration is expecting an "econ-
omy" in the management Of govern
mental affairs, one of its issues. Judge
Saunders, therefore, is a member of
the appropriations committee, will be
one of the men Wilson will look to in
his economy campaign.
Congressman Holland, of the Nor
folk, expects to land on the naval af-
fairs or the rivers and harbors COM
mittee and he will look after the prob
lens that mostly concern the Tide
water section of the state
Walter A Watson, a new member
from Virginia, is anxious to get on
the postoffice and post roads commit
zee. He is anxious to secure better
mail facilities for his district, which
is extensive in area and much in need
of rural delivery service. If he cannot
get place on this committee he will
probably be placed on the agriculture
committee, which will deal with the
subject of national aid for good roads.
In q nutshell, Virginia will be
strongly entrenched not only on the
floor of the house in debate, but in
committee nanships-strong
perhaps than she has been since the
war. Her strength will be distributed
as follows:
Glass, chairman banking and cur
rency.
Jones, chairman insular affairs.
Hay, chairman military affairs
Flood, chairman foreign affairs.
Montague, probably member of
merchant marine, to reconstruct the
coastwise maritime laws.
Holland, either naval affairs or
rivers and harbors.
Carlin, Judiciary.
Watson, postoffice and post roads,
or agriculture.
Saunders. appropriations.
Slemp (Republican), mines and
mining.
No state in the Union will have its
delegation so distributed in commit
tee assignments as to be a powerful
factor in the Wilson administration as
will Virginia's nine Democrats.
