LOCATE
VALENTINES
ASSAILANT

The man who assaulted Cary Val
entine at his garage at Pocatello two
years ago and caused him to lose
a limb, is in the penitentiary in Iowa,
and the following item taken from
the Pocatello Tribune will be of in
terest:
County Attorney Smith and Sheriff
Lowery returned yesterday from Des
Moines, Iowa, where they appeared
to get William T. Powers, the man
who shot Mr.. Carl Valentine on July
4, 1912, and robbed him of jewels
to the value of $4,000. The state
board of pardons of Iowa showed evil
dence of favoring Powers in his petit
ton for a parole. He is serving a
is year sentence in that state having
been convicted of forgery. When the
county attorney found that MI.
Smith and Sheriff Lowery were on
the grounds to return him to this
state to answer to more serious
charge they recalled the parole. The
prisoners wife made affidavit that
he had confessed to her of shooting
and robbing Mr.. Valentine and the
father of the prisoner stated that he
also had a confession from him.
Sheriff Lowery states the weather
in Omaha was hot but in St. Paul it
was cool. Crops are wonderful.
Corn in many places has grown
higher than mans head.

INFORMATION l.oR VOTERS

The two last legislatures have
made some changes in the election
laws that every voter should heed.
The various county central COM
mittees are required to appoint dele
gates to the platform conventions.
This they did Tuesday of this week.
The platform conventions are to
meet in Boise the 3Oth inst. and
they will probably remain in session
two days. All party candidates must
stand squarely upon their party plat
form.
Any voter may nominate any can
didate or even himself, by filing the
proper petition with the county re-
corder or with the secretary of state.
First day of filing nominating petit
tons, July 3.
Last day for filing, August 2.
Primary election, September 1.
At that primary separate ballots
will be provided for the different po-
litical parties, but the law provides
that all judicial candidates shall ap-
pear on all primary ballots, without
any party designation or title, show
ing to what political party they be-
long.
Each voter must ask for the party
ticket he wishes to vote.
Each voter votes for two candi-
dates for Judge of the supreme court
and for district judge, without desig-
mating which is his first or second
choice, and the names of two persons
receiving the highest number of votes
go on the ballot in November. If
more than one judge is to be elected
in any political subdivision of the
state, then the voter should vote for
twice the number of positions that
are to be filled at the general cleo
tion.
For the first time the voters will
vote directly for United States SEN
ator. Each voter will have two votes,
a first choice and second choice. and
if no candidate receives 40 per cent
of the first choice votes, then the first
choice votes are added to the second
votes and the candidate who receives
the highest number Of first and Sec
ond choice votes will be declared the
nominee.
The county central committeeman
will be elected at the primaries, in
stead of being chosen by the success
full candidates, as the law stood two
years ago.

Thomas Upton
Long on Pluck

\ Last Saturday the new yatch of
Thomas Upton started for this coun-
try to try the hazards of another race
for the American cup. The new yatch
is called Shamrock w and as usual
its owner is quite confident he will
win the race.
The Lloyds are not so confident and
discount the Shamrock's chances con-
siderably. They will bet two to one
against Lipton's yatch.
1t may be, however, that this slump
is caused by the remembrance of
former experiences on part of the
|other Shamrocks that have gone down
to defeat before the chivalry of Amer
lean yatchsmen.
But there is one thing everybody
admires about Upton, his splendid
optimism and persistence. He is a
good sport, and though he may not
be long on ability to put up victori-
Gus fight with out fellows in that
Watching line, he is certainly long on
pluck, for which he is to be COM
mended.
Peter the Great, after many defeats
at the hands of his enemies, made the
remark that they would finally teach
him how to whip them, which they in
time did We may at least teach Lip
ton how to best us in a yacht race,
and in case he shall be victorious this
time no one will begrudge him his
hard won laurels after so many years
of effort and defeat.

EDITOR WINS

Here's new dodge for candidates:
An eastern paper tells of a doctor
who wanted to be mayor of his town.
The people said he could never be
rejected. The week before election
he published the statement that dur
ing his many years of practice he had
been in nearly every home in that
town and if he failed of election he
would tell what he knew. When the
votes were counted only three ap-
peared against him, and they were
from families which had just moved
in.

WISCONSIN AND IDAHO

For years we hav ebeen told that
the Wisconsin idea of politicsIas dem.
onstrated by Senator La Toilette was
the only simon pure reform in the
world and that it was sure cure
for all ills of the body polite. We
even sent out a committee of prom
inent men from this city to sit al
the feet of the Wisconsin Gamaliels
and learn wisdom. The principal
part of the idea was to have every
thing done by commission, and most
Of the commissions were headed by
members of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, where multiple
salaries are common.
No state can show a fine array of
academic commissions as we'll as

to steam up as the last day for the
filing of nomination papers with the
secretary of state comes in signt. This
is August 1.
On Saturday Frank R. Gooding, of
Gooding, became a candidate official
ly for United States senator. His NOM
ination papers were filed by John
Thomas, his campaign manager, who
came to Boise for that purpose.

Wyche-CaldweIl.

: In the spring livelier iris changes on the
burnishd dove,
In the spring young mans fancy lightly turns
to thoughts of love-"
These lines OF Tennyson are true in a
remarkable degree in Bossier, although
the spring has just opened.
AT the hour CT ten this morning an
unusually pretty wedding was solem-
nized in Plain Dealing, when Mr..
Aylmer Wyche, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. E. Wyche of Benton, and Miss Mary
Caldwell, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. j. Caldwell, were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony.
Never did the First Baptist Church
seem more beautiful in its tasteful dec
orations of Southern smilSx, softened by
the glow of shaded lights.
At the appointed hour Miss Stella
Boggs sang in sweet tones the appro-
pirate selections, "The One Sweetest
Moment in Life" and "I Love You
Truly" Just as the tone of the last
note died away Miss Florence Martin
broke into the strains of Lohengrin,
heralding the approach of the bridal
party.
First came the ushers, Messrs. Nor
wood Belcher and Caldwell Drew, fol-
Lowell by the maid of honor, Miss Sallie
Humble, clad in a costume of Copenha-
gen blue and carrying an arm bouquet
of pink Killarney roses. The cutest and
most petite of flower girls were Misses
Margaret Meares and Marie Antoinette
Burt, in their dainty costumes of pink
and blue, carrying baskets of sweet
peas. The groom, handsome in con-
ventional black, entered with his best
man, Mr.. Gillum Wyche. All eyes were
expectantly watching the entrance of
the bride, as she approached on the arm
of her matron of honor, Mrs. Box KEN
BILE. The bride was clad in a striking
costume of blue, which peculiarly &C
centuated her typical brunette beauty.
She carried shower bouquet of lilies of
the valley and the matron of honor, one
of white Killarney roses.
After the ceremony, which was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Woodbridge, the
bride changed her costume to one Of
handsome blue brocade travelling dress,
and the happy couple left over the
Cotton Belt for st. Louis and Chicago
and will also visit other points of in
terest before returning to make their
home in Benton.
To those who knew the contracting
parties this wedding was one of peculiar
interest, not only because of the popu-
larity of both bride and groom, but be-
cause of the union of two of Boosters
oldest and most prominent families
The bride is a young woman of lovable
traits of character, striking beauty, and
wide popularity; the groom, young
man of sterling qualities, and is to bt
congratulated on winning such charm.
ing bride.
Many handsome and costly presents
were received by the happy couple, ant
all join in wishing them an unlimited
measure of happiness as they enter upol
the dawn of life, as it were. xxx
