FARMER KILLED nY TRAIN.

Orvil j. Folsom, we'll known
Boise valley rancher, was instantly
killed on Saturday afternoon when
the rig in which he was driving TO
Boise was struck by an Oregon Short
Line train at Maple Grove crossing.
His horse was also killed and the
buggy smashed The body was taken
to the undertaking parlors of Fry &
Summers where Coroner Summers
held an inquest. resulting in a YER
dict that releases anyone from blame.
Mr. Folsom was on his way to
Boise and reached Maple Grove eros
sing just as the fast mail connection,
which leaves Boise at 1915 APP
preached. 1t is supposed that a
clump of willows obstructed his view
of the train and that he did not hear
the warning whistle.
Apparently Mr.. Folsom's buggy
was right on the rails when the en-
gine struck it. His body was carried
under the engine until the train
stopped and for time it was sup
posed that he had been thrown into
an irrigation ditch. The body was
frightfully mangled.
The engine was driven by Evan
Williams, one of the oldest and most
careful engineers ON the road.
Mr.. Folsom was Az years old and
unmarried. He is survived by his
mother, his brother, Louis Folsom.
and two sisters.

HIGHER FARE ALLOWED.

Recently the Idaho Traction COM
pany asked the state utilities commits
sion for permission to advance their
passenger fares on interurban lines,
and quoted figures to show that the
business is not paying a fair interest
on the investment.
A protest was filed from the Boise
suburbanites. and in decision given
by the commission Wednesday, the
company is not allowed to raise the
fare for those who live on the lines
adjacent to Boise city. The sc fare
will therefore apply, the same as be-
fore.
For the distant places. like Merid-
ian, Nampa. Middleton and Caldwell,
an advance is allowed. The increase
in fares which will he put into effect
in a short time will apply to the
southern division, west from Randall
station 1.-TWO miles out from Boise
and on the northern division west OF
Collister.
The one way fare to and from
Boise, from Meridian will be increas-
ed five cents. to Nampa 10 cents and
to Caldwell 10 cents. The round trip
fares will be increased under the new
schedule over the present fares as
charged as follows: To Meridian
from Boise or vice versa, cents; 10
Nampa. 10 cents and TO Caldwell i5
cents.

FARMERS PICNIC.

One Of the most pleasant events
that the people south and east of
Meridian have participated in since
j. II. Rose invited all his friends and
neighbors In to celebrate the Fourth
of July at his home was the picnic
held Monday. July 5th at the w. H..
Evans grove southeast OF town. The
Farmers Home club, which Is COM
posed Of about % families gave the
picnic, each one inviting friends and
neighbors until a crowd Of about 200
people gathered TO enjoy the day.
Nothing was neglected to make il a
day OF pleasure. a table SO feet long
was built so that all could be seated
in a comfortable way to enjoy the
dinner which deserves especial men
tion. II wasn't a dinner, it was a
banquet. Nothing from the daintiest
salads to the best Of wholesome foods
was forgotten. On one side OF the
table was seated the children and
the fun length CG0 feetD was com
pletely filled With the little tots. Bo-
qnets of beautiful flowers were placed
from one end OF the table to the 9TH
err
Near the table was a stand where
free lemonade and ice cream was
handed out the entire day, about 20
gallons of ice cream was consumed
In connection with the stand, pea
nuts. candy and oranges were sold to
help the children feel il was a real
Fourth of July celebration. The day
was ideal with the exception OF iii
tie gale which passed over during the
afternoon which hindered the sports
for little while.
The afternoon was taken mp in

STATE FARM LOOKING
GOOD AS THE BEST.

A reporter for the Record enjoyed
a visit to the state farm on Eagle
Heights which is in charge of Alex
Wilson very competent man. This
is the land condemned by Mr.. Center
the soil expert. Barley was ripening
that will certainly yield Is bushels
or better to the acre. A field of vol-
unteer rye was unusually good. The
first cutting of alfalfa was in stack
and the second was showing up we'll.
Mr.. Wilson's corn was nearly waist
hight-the best he had seen-while
berry bushes and all kinds of garden
truck could not be eXcelled anywhere
in the country.
After looking over the well titled
farm with its thrifty crops the report
ter concluded Mr.Center had another
guess coming. Mr.. Wilson had so
head of hogs in prime condition that
had been fed no grain. but were run
ming in a small alfalfa pasture. The
barn yard fairly swarmed with chick
ems. The trip over the place.
through the fields and the young or
chard was very enjoyable. An april
cot tree less than four feet high had
80 apricots on it.-Nampa Record

A REGRETTABLE AFFAIR.

Frank F. Weygandt, a prominent
farmer, residing four miles northwest
of Meridian, had his hired man, Will
liam H. Seymour, arrested last Sum
day on a statutory charge. He was
taken to Boise by Sheriff Pfost and
his preliminary hearing held Tues
day resulted in his discharge, their
being no evidence presented. This
partly resulted from the fact that
Weygandt decided that it was bad
deal and that the best thing to do
was to drop the whole thing-and
this means that he (Weygandt) will
have nothing more to do with his
wife and the property will be settled
between them. Weygandt has adver-
tised an auction sale and the home
will be broken up.
Weygandt claims that Seymour
had unlaw full relations with his
wife and that they we're pre-
pairing to leave the country, when he
decided to have Seymour arrested.
All the parties in the transaction
appear to be members of the Holi-
ness holy roller cult. which has a
congregation north and west of Mer-
idian, and meetings are held at Eagle
and Star Seymour claims to be a
sort of an elder in the denomination
but has no license as an ordained
minister.
1t seems appropriate to quote in
this connection some remarks made
BY a minister, Rev. F. G. Brainard,
superintendent of the Chautauqua
held in Boise last month. He said:
zone of the most potent memories
of my childhood is that of women
who were poor and in trouble COM
Ing to my father for help and advice.
can remember when / was boy
how he recommended to me work on
the woodpile of our widowed neigh
Dor with the remark that my mother
might want someone to do it for her
some day. AS a student my first
great poet was Tennyson with his re-
verence for women. The result is
that think the one most nearly un-
forgivable thing in man is to have
laid one bit of burden or trouble up
on a woman. Every good man has
two duties to perform. One is TO
keep himself clean and strong and
the other is to protect woman from
her own weakness.
While these remarks we're occa-
stoned by the closing of the Owyhee
roof garden to the sale of liquor To
women, they apply so we'll In this
Seymour affair that they are given
herewith.
Seymour not only deserves the
contempt of decent people for a
crime against the law, but he has for
feited the right to be classed as o
man.
AS news item this is of very lit
tie value, but as lesson to the peo-
pie. of our community il should be
of considerable worth as an example
and warning.
