A HAPPY MAN.

Robert Ferguson of Nevada, who for
some time has been visiting Blackfoot,
the guest of his brother, Thomas Fer
guson, is one Of the happiest men in
the Grove City to-day. He has been
sufferer from rheumatism for the past
four years, being unable to do any
business for about four months. While
in Blackfoot he heard Of the Lava Hot
Springs, and about a week ago con-
cluded to try them. While enroute to
the springs he met on the train an os-
teopath to whom he told his trouble
and was assured that his rheumatism
was quite easily cured. The osteopath
guaranteed that if he came to Boise
and took ten of his treatments and
was not cured that there would be no
charge, and that his care fare back
to Blackfoot would be pair for. Mr..
Ferguson took the specialists g advice
and his ten treatments, the eighth of
which removed every symptom of his
rheumatism, and the cure has every in
dication of being permanent. The cure
cost Mr.. Ferguson $50, and he says that
he would have gladly given severarhun-
dred for it, as he feels confident that
he has been freed of painful and ex-
pensive disease.

Editor Trego
Passes Cigars

It was very gratifying to the peace
loving citizens of Blackfoot to see the
defeated and elected candidates of both
tickets congratulating each other on
the street the morning after the cleo
tion. The defeat Of the Republican
ticket with the exception Of the mayor,
police judge and possibly the clerk and
councilman who was tied, seemed to
have been great pleasure to the editor
OF the Republican, who in his usual silly
and arrogant manner claims the credit
of electing the nominees Of the Citizens
ticket for councilmen, and in order to
flaunt his political and personal animus
in the faces of candidates and their
friends he passed among them with
cigars, weed that he considers too
obnoxious for his own use. Why he
should worry or rejoice over the re-
suit of the recent election which he at
tempted to contaminate with base in
nuedoes and vile insinuations is a mys-
terry to all, who believe if he had any
conscientious sccruples he would 20
away back and hide away, and not have
the immaculate and shameless nerve to
influence the new council with cigars.
This cigar stunt is an old trick of
Trego g, he pulled it on Dygert Just be-
fore election and when he found it
bought him nothing, he resorted to
slander to ruin him for not doing his
bidding.

Auto Collides :.
With Bicycle

Agnes Dean and Aurora Harrington.
TWO Blackfoot school girls about thir-
teen years of age, while returning from
school to their home in Groveland last
Monday afternoon had narrow escape
from serious injury on Bridge street,
near Judge Doud s residence. They
were riding along the road tandem
fashion when the auto overlook them.
and Miss Dean being in the rear heard
1t coming and got out of its wake. Miss
harrington did not hear it approaching
and when it hit her wheel she thought
1T was her friend g wheel, and felt no
danger. Fortunately the little miss was
not struck, but her wheel was badly
damaged. The strange and careless
autoist stopped long enough to ask the
ilttie girl IT she was hurt, and the
breaking of her wheel caused her to
answer him in no very friendly tone of
voice.

TWO ROBBERIES
HERE THIS WEEK

Last Sunday night the Golden Rule
Store on Bridge street was visited by
burglar who got away with every
bolt of silk the store had, all the silk
female hose and about fifteen silk
waists. He also helped himself to a suit
OF clothes in the show window, with
the exception of the vest which ke
left, placing the price of the suit care
fully on nearby counter. The value
OF the missing goods is about 5000. Mr..
James II. Ryan, the manager, informs M
that he was in the store Sunday night
until about 1880, when he went home
without the faintest hunch that his
store would be burglarized. With the
ald OF ladder and new punch bar the
theft entered the store through a rear
transom near the roof Of the building.
and made his getaway with the plunder
through rear door which he unlocked
from the inside. The pinchbar was
about fifteen inches long and a price
mark similar to the one used by the
Bergman Hardware Co., but they do
not recall selling bar as short as the
one used.
1t is very evident that the burglar
was not stranger to the store, as he
made his entrance and exit the easiest
possible way, knew where the silks were
kept, and when Mr.. Ryan made his
unusually late departure from the stese
Sunday night. Sheriff Simmons was
notified as soon as the robbery was
discovered but found no clew as \.
the identity Of the thief, and up to IL.
present time there is no tidings of, HIM.
Lsst Monday night some safe cracker
visited the Central market and robbed
the safe Of between $40 and $50 III
money. The checks were apparently ex-
and when found to be useless
to the robbers, they were not taken.
The entrance to the market was made
through rear window, the screen Of
which had been cut, and the front door
of the safe was opened by working the
without injury to the door.
The inside door was battered and open.
ed with steel sharpener and cleaver
belonging to the shop. Mr.. Geo. Dore
Jr., says he visited the shop about 1880
when the safe was locked and every
thing was in good shape. The only clue
left by the safe crackers were several
match boxes that are procured by play
ing the slot machine in the Jap pool
hall

LIGHTNING KILLS BOY.

The electrical storm that prevailed in
this section last Thursday was very
severe in the vicinity of Thomas and
Moreiand, where sad and expensive
fatalities occurred. At Thomas the 12-
year old son of VIM. Novice while re.
turning home from School was struck
by lightning and instantly killed, and
we understand four cows in that local.
lty were fatally struck. At Moreland
j. V. England's $4,000 stallion was
fatally struck, as was a valuable horse
belonging to W. P. Lindsay. The cows
killed belonged to Adrian Parsons
another of his cows was struck, but
recovered.

Result OF: Tuesdays City
Election By Wards.

The city election last Tuesday passed
off very quietly and friendly without
the slightest demonstration Of personal
or political enmity, and judging by the
way both the Republican and Citizens
tickets were crossed the personnel Of
the tickets was more important factor
than their politics. The vote was very
close, Wright and DeKay for city clerk
getting the same number of votes, and
Clarke and Hesse for councilmen in
the First Ward also tieing. Peck for
mayor, being elected by majority Of
81. votes, and Good for police Judge,
beating Ezell by only 7 votes. Frank
Berryman got a majority Of l over
Q. F. Hendrie for councilman in the End
ward, where considerable trading was
done to scatter the candidates over the
ward, which resulted in the defeat Of
Nofear Davis, one of the ablest and
most impartial members of the present
city council where he has served the city
for two years, and is very glad to have
been released from further duty.
The city council meets tomorrow
night to canvas the election returns,
when the tie votes will be decided. The
old and new councils will have a Joint
meeting next Tuesday night when the
city officers will be sworn in.

REINDEER MEAT
WILL Be SERVED
IN DINING CARS

One may now order reindeer
meat for dinner on the way to the
Panama.Pacific expeditions.
Five of the transcontinental rail-
ways have made arrangements with
the chief of the Alaska division of
the bureau OF education TO try out
reindeer meat on the bill-of-fare in
their dining car departments.
This Is In line with the bureaus
efforts TO establish a new and prof
table industry among the Eskimo
natives OF Alaska by means of the
expectation of reindeer meat.
Rapid increase in the reindeer
herds. particularly during the last
two years. now warrants the super
visory officials in sanctionlng the
expectation to continental United
States of a considerable surplus OF
both meat and hides TO the distinct
profit of the natives.
The meat of the reindeer is OF
excellent quality and possesses a
flavor as fine almost as that OF
venison. In the market 1t is sold
as meat deicacy.
Last autumn, Just before the
close of navigation at Nome. "A
steamer brought 20 carcasses OF
reindeer TO Seattle, where retail
prices ranging from 20 cents to 80
cents a pound readily were obtain
ed for them.
