COMPLIMENT FOR MERIDIAN

The Nampa Record says: Meridian
shipped AZ car loads of fat hogs in
six weeks prior to November Is,
although the price paid was ruin
ously low. Grain is worth more
in the bin this fall than when con-
centrated into pork. Meridian farm
ers are noted for higher degree of
prosperity than found in most
farming sections.

destined to enter from the very
outset on work Of the most
practical character.
The suggestion the Govern

she could ask advice of whom
soever he pleases. 1t is pre-
dicted Congress will make the
new board a regularly and legal

dies in the history Of Cedar
County occurred in the little vii.

whom he had been separated, for
the object, it is reported of seek
ing to bring about a reconcilia-
ton, whereupon a sharp Colo
guy ensued between him and his
wife's mother, Mrs. Wagner.
Mingus becoming greatly en-
ragged suddenly drew a revolver
and fired five shots into the
body of the unfortunate woman,
killing her. During this time
his wife came to the door and he
then opened fire on her. The
first shot took effect in her
face, but a second bullet passing
through her head resulted in her
death.
He then picked up the six
weeks-old baby and called to
man, who witnessed the shoot
ing, to come and get it, but as
he made no attempt to comply
with his wishes, he kissed the in
FAINT and laid it beside Its dead
mother. He then turned the
weapon upon himself and sent a
bullet through his brain, his life
less body falling across that of
his wife.-El Dorado Sun.

SPlRITISM SAID
TO BE DEM0NISM.

A most interesting little I brochure
has recently come off the press setting
forth with Bible proofs that the COM
munications received by and through
Spiritist Mediums is of Demon origin.
The writer traces his subject through
the Scriptures from the time when
certain of the holy angels became dis
obedient. He proves from the Scrip
lures that these fallen spirits per
senate the human dead, with whose
past history. spirits, though invisible,
are thoroughly acquainted. He shows
that they also frequently person
ate the Creator and the Redeemer,
commanding their deceived ones to
pray, do penance, etc. This, however,
Is merely to lead them on and to bring
them more thoroughly under demoni-
acal control. Sometimes by breaking
down the natural barrie, the human
will, they possess their victim, and rule
him more or less to his ruin-frequent-
iy sending such to the mad-house.
Numerous Illustrations, Scriptural and
otherwise, are given. The price Of the
little book is but five cents; 1t should
be in the hands of all interested In
Epiritism or who have friends inter
ested therein. Enclose stamps to the
Bible and Tract Society, II Hicks

MENACE TO H BOY.

(From the speech of Congressman
Garrett of Texas, in behalf of the
Hobson resolution.)
81 am not afraid of the blind tiger
for my boy or myself, but of the tiger
that a see-the tiger that stands on
every prominent corner with bright
lights that blink at me. Young men
do not begin the drink habit in the
blind tigers. They learn to drink at
mahogany tables in the high class beer
gardens and restaurants, where they
serve nice little drinks with fruit stick
ing around them. When you took
our slaves away from us we suffered,
but we thank you for it today. We
thought we had a right to decide that
question for ourselves, but you said
we could not. Now when we want
to destroy the saloon curse, you will
yell states rights at u.s."

JUNIORS DRY UP THE TOWN.

In Georgetown, o., a few weeks be-
fore election, young. men of from ff-
teen to twenty years of age organ
lied a Junior Business Mems club and
announced themselves as a bunch of
winners" They made a thorough
canvass of the town and solicited
every voter, saying to the drinking
classes, you wanted saloons in
your day; you've had them; we boys
don't want them in our midst; won't
you help give US what we want?" The
result was that Georgetown went
dry" three to one. This campaign
has attracted much attention in the
state and the "wets" feel they have
nothing to hope from the new gen.
Grafton about to step into the cleo
torate.

An exhaustive investigation into
2,000,0 900 lives insured during the last
"a years was recently completed by
the life insurance companies. Ar
thur Hunter, a New York %actuary, re-
porting some of these findings to the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-

showed that 'the loss of 500. 900 men

SALOON THE PAuPER.MAKER.

SALOON THE PAUPER-MAKER.
One out of every ten people a
pauper! This statement is made con-
corning Cook county, Illinois, of
which county the city of Chicago con-
stitutes the chief part, and is given
in the annual report of the president
of the board of county commissioners.
During last year the number helped
was 100000, the chief cause of need
in 5000, of these cases being reported
as unemployment. The close connec
ton between the 1000 saloons of
Chicago and the burden of %pauperism
is easily seen. Any business man
accustomed to employ labor could
make a tolerably accurate conjecture
that fully two-thirds of the men who
cannot in ordinary times secure en-
ployment are unreliable and undesir-
able as workmen because of their in
diligence in liquor.
And the men and women who each
year dig deep into their pockets for
the taxes necessary to care for these
100000 paupers and other dependent
citizens, are in a majority of cases
the same men and women who Ii.
