(From Idaho Co, Free Press) Modern electric lights are soon to replace obsolete tallow candles as a means of illuminat- ing inmates’ rooms at the Idaho county poor farm. Board of county commission- ers on Monday arranged with the Grangeville Electric Light and Power Co., for wiring of the county home and furnishing electric current to the institu- tion, Few persons perhaps are aware that old-fashioned tallow candles have been generally used at the poor farm for lighting bedrooms of certain of the in- mates. Because of feeble condi- tion of many of the county charges, it has been thought in- advisable to permit them to have coal oil lamps in their rooms, fearing the lamps would be upset, an explosion would ensue, and the building would be burned to the ground. For that reason, it is explained, the steward at the poor farm has re- quired that the inmates use only tallow candles for such light as may be provided in their rooms at night. In other pants of the building. however, coal oil lamps have been in use, for in these rooms attendants at the home could keep careful watch to prevent ire. Inmates of the poor farm can thank a suicide for delivering them from the semi-darkness of candle light to the modern illum- ination of electricity. On Dec. 10, 1911, Herman Stein, a na- tive of Germany, killed himse!f in his home in the Winona country. He owned 160 acres of land had money in the bank. On the day of his suicide, Stein wrote a will in German on a scrap of paper, in which he gave all the cash he possessed to one Peter Rase, and the residue of his property he devised to farm. A translation of a part of the will reads. “Being that life is a burden to me,I make an end of same. After my death, the cash money shall be paid to Peter Rase. The rest, of my estate shall go to Idaho county, and shall be used on the poor farm.” Stein’s ranch, comprising 160 acres, was sold by tthe board of county commissioners on Jan. 19, 1918, to Frances E. and Wil- liam Kitchen, of Winona, for $1500. A part of the money has already been used in improve- ments on the poor farm, but $568.25 remains, and it is this money that will be devoted to installing electric lights in the county home. Keeper of Poor Farm. The board on Monday con- tracted with Frank Cummings of Grangeville, for maintenance of the poor farm from Oct. 15, 1923 to Oct. 15, 1925. Cummings agreed to provide board and room for the inmates at $12.50 a month, each. Charles Goan bid $14, and G. A. Anderson, $15. Walter Rice, present steward at the poor farm, filed no bid. He has been receiving $15 a month for each inmate. In addition to the amount paid, the county pro- vides clothing and tobacco for the inmates. The steward is given use of the farm free of charge. The board on Thursday awarded Bert Brockman a con- tract for forty tons of Majestic Utah coal, at $12.45 a ton. Madison Lumber, company was the only other bidder for coal. The Madison company bid from $12.65 to $18.50 a ton for vari- ous kinds of coal. The board had advertised for bids on twenty cords of wood, but no bid for wood was received. $800 For Agriculture Hall. Eight hundred dollars was interest of aid defendant| appropriated by. the . board of Idaho county for use on the poor rege commissioners. of Idaho courity, Monday, for erection of an agri- cultural building:at. the Idaho county fair grounds, in Grange- Ville. Construction of the build- ing is to commence shortly, and the structure will be in readiness for the fall fair. The boards action was taken at the request of Edwin Nelson, of Denver, president of the Idaho County Fair association. Three buildings previously have been constructed at the fair grounds, partly by county aid, for housing of livestock ex- hibits, and with the addition of the agricultural hall, ample housing facilities will be provid- ed for fair displays. Refuse Money for Road. Appropriation of from $1500 to $3000 for improving the Seven Mile canyon road, from Winona to Kamiah, was refused by the board of county commis- sioners, Monday. The appropria~- tion was asked by a delegation, headed by F. H. Rehberg, of Kamiah, which appeared before the board. COMBINED FORMS OF BELIEF Christian, Greek and Oriental Teach- ings Mixed in One Formula by the Ancient Gnostics. The Gnostics were a group of an- cient heretics, famous from the rise of Christianity, They did not consti- tute a distinct sect, but were more nearly a complication of many sects. The Gnostics claimed to Interpret the teachings of Christianity in a philo- sophie manner, and in so doing com- bined Oriental theology and Greek philosophy with its doctrines. The principal tenets of the Gnostics were as follows: Belief in one eternal God. Countless generations of aeons ema- nating from God, and representative of the divine attributes. The essential evil of material sub- stance, The existence of a demiurge (in- | ferior god) by whom the world was governed. He was the Old Testament God, and hostile to the Supreme Be ing. ‘These tenets were revived In Spain by the “Priscillianists” in the Fourth century.
