There is question of the growth of the prohibition
sentiment throughout the country The prohbtionists
are winning in all sections of the country The new
crimes created give interesting study and grounds
upon which build all manner of profitable and unproft
able theories.
The legislature of Idaho in response the demands of
organized emotion have enacted of the most stringent
antl-quor laws The governor taking himself great
glory and putting the all his courage has signed
the law The law makes it unlawful to manufacture sell
transport or have in possession any alcoholic liquors The

THE LAST SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The legislature has adjourned sine die 1t has con-
cuded its work. Within couple of weeks the people
of Idaho will know exactly what has happened to them.
1t is the general belief that the past session
of the BEST of the Industrious and one of the
most painstaking in the history Of the state The
bership was above the average owing the presence of
half dozen members of exceptionable ability
The thing that stands out clear and distinct is the
absolute failure of Mr.. Alexander his million dol
lars He did than any of our other governors
have done. He found that the governor alone was
helpless, if inspired by the Hottest purposes Former
Governor awley stated at the beginning of the last
Paign that he could nothing but obgingly withdrew
his speech, not interfere with the Alexander
campaign.
Now that it is all over trust that Mr. Alexander will
quit his buster and reckless promise We trust further
that the people of Idaho will next time elect a governor

to work miracles

OPERATOR WHO SENTCUSTER
MASSACRE STORY RETIRES
Carnahan, Who Sat at Telegraph Key
Fl Hours at Stretch, Is Pensioned
and Will Spend Rest of Days ON
Farm

Blackwell, Okla, March 22.-Iohn
NJ. Carnahan, the telegraph operator
who sent out from Bismarck, n. D., one
of the biggest stories the world ever
read-the story of the Custer massacre
on the Little Big Horn in July, 1876
has just retired on a pension and is
planning to spend the rest of his days
in Oklahoma on a Kay county farm.
For seventeen years Carnahan was
at the frontier station of Bismar K.
The Bismarck garrison, including many
friends of Carnahan, was in the Custer
expedition. The operator and the post
surgeon rode out from the post with
the expedition when it started in June,
1875, to punish the Sioux Indians. They
went twelve miles with the SEVENTH
Cavalry and then returned with the
last dispatch General Custer ever sent.
1t was addressed to President Grant
and told of the plans for the expedition.
On the night of July 5 the steamer
Far West came down the river and tied
up at Bismarck when most people were
in bed The Far West brought the
wounded from Reno s command and the |
official dispatches which told of the
complete annihilation of Custer s out
fit.
Carnaban was called from his bed
and found on mis- desk in the telegraph
Office carpetbag full of official re-
ports of the fight and it's results. He
sized u1' the JOB and his first wire ac-
tion was to flash the word East that
the massacre had occurred. Then he set
tied down to the transmission of the of
fetal story to the Department of War
at Washington. For twenty-one hours
he did not leave the Key. Coffee and
sandwiches were handed him now and
then during the long shift and wet
towel was kept on his forehead. With
the reports finished he fell into bed
and for three hours slept the sleep Of
exhaustion. Then he got up and re-
turned to the key.
For two days the Eastern papers had
been clamoring for detailed news of the
massacre, but Carnahan could not leave
his official work and until now there
was no one to send it. He started in,
however, and sent all he could find out
TO New York. Chicago and st. Paul pa
pers. He sent as much story as he had
strength to get and prepare and that
was the way the details of the disaster
were sent out.
Carnahan had sent $4,000 words in
the two shifts, and the receipts of his
office in those two days were $4,000.
As fast as thew could arrive special
correspondents hurried to Bismarck td0
get the intimate details of the big
story. O'Kelly, New York man, waa
the first big one on the ground, and
Carnahan sent for twelve hours mord
on his stuff. There were $4,000 words
and the tolls on the special dissatch
were 1890. O'Kelly gave Carnahan
$50 for his extra work and the vet
eran operator still has that $50 bill.
