l.. M. Harris has leased the room vacat-
ed by Mr.. Carrots and will occupy the
same with millinery stock.
e Christensen of the Joseph coun-
try, was in town this week making pur-
chases of supplies. He states they are
busy haying over there but the timothy
crop is little light this summer, due
to the fact that the fields have not
been loosened up by light cultivation
for several years. Other crops look
fine and the Plains is going to produce
an abundant harvest this fall.
James Standage of the Joseph section
came over the first of the week and re-
manned until today. He came ont to
Cottonwood with the party of men who
carried the Mcmahon boy over the trail.
While in Grangeville Mr.. Standage was
consulting with number of the local
republicans in regard to his candidacy
for office of sheriff and it is said met
with considerable encouragement.
cole johnson, the buckaroo buster
of the Boles section, was in town the
first of the week. He was a member
OF the party that brought out the Nc
Mahon boy and states the trip was
mighty arduous. While in town "Olev

the local dealers.
Edward M. Griffith, candidate for
the nomination for sheriff on the demo-
cratic ticket, is we'll known to the vot-
ers of Idaho county, having served as
their prosecuting attorney three terms,
during which time he prosecuted and
sent to the penitentiary great number
of persons charged with all kinds of
crimes. Knowing his record as a fear
less and successful prosecutor, and that
such qualifications would necessarily
cause him to make good sheriff, MANY
of his friends have prevailed upon him
to make the race for the office Should
Mr.. Griffith become sheriff of this
county he certainly would be eminently
qualified to perform the duties of said
office.

LAKE GENEVA TRA|N-
ING SCHOOL SCHOOL DOING
A SPLENDID WORK

The international Sunday School
Association Training School is held
for ten days every summer at Con-
ference Point, Lake Geneva. Lake
Geneva is beautiful .sss =s7-ns--
six miles northwest Of Chicago, In
the southern part OF Wisconsin.
The dense forests On the shores Of
this Lake have been thinned out
and club houses, beautiful summer
residences, the Y. NJ. c. A. Camp.
the Holiday Home and Yerke's OBJ
servatory have been built there.
Conference Point, the highest and
most prominent point on the north
west shore Of the lake, commands a
magnificent view. It has good rail-
road and steamer connection with Oh
cago and at the same time is
quiet place so that it is an ideal 10
cation.
The Training School was founded 3
years ago by the International Sum
day School Association. The original
purpose was to train the general sec
retaries and field workers of the
states and provinces for Sunday
School leadership, but the School
has been enlarged so that now many
county workers take advantage
Of the course.
The institution is well organized,
and is real school. The entire
morning is devoted to tn devotion
al exercises, the general lectures
which every pupil attends and the
departmental lectures. The after
moons are given over to recreation
and organized play.
The services held each evening on
the hill overlooking the lake are
very inspiring. The closing hour oi
the day is given over to Bible study.
This School offers four years
course and every year certificates O
recognition are given to those wht
pass the examinations. This year
there we're representative in the stu
dent body from thirty-four States,
: six provinces of Canada, South Amer
: lea, Egypt, Turkey and Japan; Il
all, two hundred and twenty-one stu
dents. Missouri had the largest de
egation, having thirty-four register
' ed students and Illinois was clos
second with twenty.seven.
y 1t has been said that the schot
. spirit here is equal to that OF Hal

a would be credit to any Universit'
m The School has many frineds WI
