Show TRUTH. paper makes the rather amusing assertion that it has been chosen by Senator Dubois as the medium for promulgating his singular views on Idaho politics and thereupon requests Congressman Senator Heyburn, 11 A Spokane French and Mr. Gooding to also adopt its columns for conducting an argument with Dubois. It is hardly likely these gentlemen will see lit to do so. as there ore questions of good taste as well as of good policy that will doubtless lead them to conduct their Idaho affairs in Idaho and not in an outside country.- - It is 'not even likely they will see At to conduct such discussion at all. as they have merely to refer to Dubois public and official expressions concerning the subject matter upon which he seeks to embroil the people of Idaho. In the recfent debate in congress conthe admission of New Mexico cerning i and Arizona as states, the question of polygamy was raised and in applying the conditicns to Idaho Dubois then said, in Congressional Record, senate, page 1729: I live among those people; and so far as I know, in Idaho there has not been a polygamous marriage celebrated since that manifesto was issued, and I have yet to find a man in Idaho or anywhere else who will say that a polygamous marriage has been celebrated anywhere since the issuance of that manifesto. Senator Hale Then it must follow that as the years go by and as the older people disappear, polygamy. as a practice will Dubois be practically removed. There is no question about it. Are the people of Idaho to blame then if they decline to change as often as Dubois changes or if they refuse to ' be interested in his private grudges in which they have no interest? The Democratic party, especially, has suffered enough in following his devious trails. The Democratic plurality in this state is normally 5,000 and it was at that mark after the silver Republicans had recanted and the populists disbanded. In 1900 when it was suspected Mr. Dubois and Governor Hunt had made fellowship with the Coeur dAleners, the plurality dropped to 2,216. In 1902, when it was known they had made such fellowship even this plurality was wiped out and con- - Nineteen Innings Without Score. Jackson and Brookhaven of the Delta Baseball league broke all baseball records for minor league clubs in the South. Nineteen innings were played without either side making a score. Kline pitched for Jackson and allowed only four hits, while Schluter pitched for Brookhaven and allowed only six. Only twice did either team get a man to third base.' ASK FOR, Wm. A. STICKNEY CIGAR CO. FINE CIGARS verted into a Republican plurality of 5,833. This year Mr. Dubois will lead us into a Republican plurality of 15,000. In Utah he is already assisting the opposition to the Democratic party, delivering the main address at their meeting and doing all he can do to defeat the Democratic ticket; but with his efforts so directed in Utah there is considerable hope for the party there and unless some very encouraging signs fail, with Dubois on. the other side, Utah will go Democratic and cast its vote in the electoral college for Parker and Davis. Under these circumstances the Republican candidates do not need to hold any argument with him but by just giving him play enough if he does not succeed in wiping out every effective opposition in the state to their policies it will be because his hand has lost its present genius for disintegration and failure. Pocatello Tribune. The schemes and mode of putting them in operation of Senators Dubois and Kearns are the same. So will be their ending. SPORTING GOSSIP. Fighters Get Good Purses. The gross receipts of the Jeffries-Munro- e fight were $21,800, of which Jeffries received $9,156 and Munroe $6,104, the remainder going to the promoters of the contest. All who witnessed the contest agreed that the champion is in a class by himself and that no other living pugilist is likely to dispute his right to the title. Throughout the round and forty-fiv- e seconds that the fight lasted Jeffries chewed gum and 3miled. He was perfectly calm and entirely at his ease, while Munroe was pale and evidently nervous. Never for a moment did he stand the slightest chance to win, but he was game and determined to fight to the end. Had not Referee Graney interceded as Jeffries w'as preparing to land the decisive blow, the bout might have ended in a tragedy. Munroe finds consolation in the belief that he went as far with Jeffries as anyone could. Kiser Breaks World's Records.

Her gait is probably not perfect, yet no suggestion as to its improvement can be readily made. o Set New Automobile Record. Jerome A. Ellis and Arthur G.
