IDAHO WONDERS.
WHAT CAN BE SEEN IN TIE VICINITY
o OF BEAR LAKE.

[Oxford Ndaho) Enterprise.
Hon. Willard Crawford, District
Attorney for the Southern district of
Idaho, returned from professional
and pleasure trip to Soda springs and
Bear lake in the latter part of last
week, and the Enterprise paid it's re-
spects to Mrs. Crawford and the Judge
and while chit-chatting with them
gathered up the fragments of scvcra!
items Of interest to our readers.
~ "But,, said the Judge, pro-
ducing some specimens Of natural
organisations, "w}Icn you 60 to Bear
lake you want to visit Swan lake,
which is about ten miles South of
Soda springs, on the Paris road. You
can see sights there more wonderful
than at any other place on earth.
Yosemite is nowhere in comparison.
There is a lake on the top of noun
tain, covering about one acre of
ground, with q rim around it, like u
china wash basin, which slopes off
toward the centre inside. Bend over
the rim of this lake and look down
into it's clear, cavernous depths and
you will notice full-grown trees
body, branches and all--in perfect
symmetry and entirely pctrilied or
cncrusted with q substance which
without closer analysis we should
pronounce carbonate of sodium and
lime, judging from the specimen
shown by the Judge.
"Thcsc trees" continued he, "secm

before the water found it's way into
the top of this mountain, and after
being covered with water became
encrusted as we find them. reached
down and broke off piece of one
limb, which you see is thickly coated
The inquisitive Enterprise repre-
sentative querried the Judge as to his
opinion of how this lake came to be
formed thus on the top of a high
mountain, where the rainfall is in
sufficient to supply one-tenth enough
water to provide for the evaporation
natural to such body of water, and
he gave it as his opinion that the
mountain was formerly a volcano,
that after the blowing out of the
crater a fountain or spring had gushed
out into the base of the mountain and
in a course of years had filled it to the
top, as we now find it. Around the
outside of the lake there is a grassy
meadow several acres in extent
} covered ut this season of the year with
a lnxuriant growth of grass.

My Swim to the Target,

Few, perhaps, among the civilian pop
ulation of England have any very GER
tain idea as to the whereabouts of Shoe
buryncss; fewer still, perhaps have been
there. TO travel down from Fcnchurch
street to tho extreme end of London,
Tilbury and Southend Railway is of it
self " journey not to be undertaken
without some definite object in view ;
and when to this is added tramp of
some two miles along yielding sand and
Single, or, as IN alternative, about four
miles of unintercsting road, it is easy to
understand that few tourists are to be
found energetic enough to travel 40 far
merely to see tho place and return; for
stay they cannot, there being no hotel of
any description in the little place.
Shooburyness then, for the benefit of
the uninitiatcd, may be defined as "a
little noisy place near southcned." As
to its physical characteristics, it is a
heterogeneous collection of barracks,
batteries and sandbauks. To the stran-
ger approaching it, it presents most
uninviting aspect, especially should the
tide happen to be out. For then be-
comes apparent the interminable reaches
of sand that stretch away out to sea for
miles in their unvarying tlatness broken
only here and there by the black form OF
target or by pegs driven into the yield
ing soil to mark the ranges. Neverthe'
less it is this very dismal expanse that
gives Shocbnryness its Importance in
military eyes, and that makes it what il
is-the great experimental and practice
station for the British artillery.
Everything is quiet enough there till
o'clock or thereabouts Then the OBJ
scryer sees here and there flag run

Yesterday afternoon while Mr.. Lem

Seventh and Spruce streets, was in the
back portion Of his establishment, a
wsman came along and grabbing a pair
CT shoes from the rack in front Of tho

der her arm. Mrs. Marr had noticed
the woman previous to this and while
attempting to attract her husbands
attention the theft was committed. A
son of Mr.. Mari asking him il the rack
wasn't full when first put out gave Mr..
Mari a clue to tho womaA's actions. He
followed her down Seventh street to

he, seeing the toes Of the shoes protrud-
ing walked up and took possession OF

against repetition of the offence. She
was white and apparently respectable

RENNYPACKER'S INDUSTRY,
Wilmington Trade with the west
Indies.

The readers Of the REPUBLICAN are SC
well acquainted with the massive build
ngs situated on the South bank of the
Rrandywine at the foot of French street,
and occupied by the successful firm OF
W. G. Pennypacker & Co., that they
need no word Of introduction to the
public. The new enterprise, however,
of the firm is ono Of the most advanta-
geous and bstokens the growing pros
perity of our city. The casual visitor
to the steam mills, by night or day.
cannot but notice the constant bNzz of
machinery and the activity Of the many
men who there receive employment.
During the supremacy of the former
owner, the father of the present ener-
getic business manager. Mr.. James E.
Price, Jr., frequent shipments Of flour
and meal we're made from this estab
lishment to the West hides, bnt,
through that pestilential class of COM
mission men-ths brokers of New York
"a large amount of the profits as sv al
lowed up.
For some sime past how ever, the firm
has been shipping direct to these L.
lands in regular West India trading
ships, thus saving the brokers' commits
sion, and consequently are justified in re
munerating their numerous employees
at more advantageous terms. At pre-
sent the ship Baracoa is being loaded
with 700 barrels of -four and 800 bar
rels of meal for one of ahe most e1ten-
sive merchants in the West Indies, who
has been so pleased with his former
supplies from W. G.. Pennypacker 4
Co., that he has written them in most
complimentary terms and paid cash in
advance. The trip outward is general
ly made in ten days. The Baraeoa now
being loaded is a wonderful speeder
having returned to the Brandywine in
six days on her last voyage.
If other of our local industries could
only increase their foreign trade in q
like manner, Wilmington would soor
take her stand with our leading ship
ping cities, position for which she is
so suited owing to her easy access by
rail and water.

Protect the system from Malaria

Protect the System from Naiaria-
1t is possible to do this even In regions of
country where miasma is most rite, and where
the periodic fevers which 1t causes assume
their most formidable types. The immense
popularity OF HOstetter's Stomach Bltters is
very largely attributable to the fact of its eff
cacy rs remeAy for chills and fever5, billions
remittents, and as preventive of the various.
forms OF malarial disease. In those por-
ions Of the West and South where COM
plants of this nature prevail, and in the
Tropics, it is particularly esteemed for the
protective Influence which it e1erts; and it has
been very widely adopted as substitute for
the dangerous and comparatively ineffective

have not been among the last to concede its
merits, and the emphatic professional indorse-
