BOISE CITY.

The feeling Of alarm which pervaded
the breasts Of all upright citizens Of
Boise at the unusual prevalence Of
crime of almost every degree, has Civ
en- place TO one of more perfect securi-
ty Efficient officers and the impair
tial and just manner in which Judge
Prickett has dealt out Justice to often

brought about this more healthy state
of affairs For months previous it
was unsafe, even in the earlier hours
of night, to walk the streets, as the
town was known to be infested with
garroters and murderers; and no enc
retired to bed sure of not being awak-
onei before dawn by the dread alarm
of fire, the work of the incendiary: aad
Notwithstanding the massive strength
and imrregnability of the vault of the
First National Bank the officers of
that institution have kept the iron
doors open and q light burning in the
building during the dark hours, all
winter. An occasional job shows,
however, that the evildoers are not
all cribhed, but vigilant officers will
most likely rake them in before peach
trees bloom again. If the combined
efforts of the courts and officers, sec
onded by the cooperation of every
law-abiding resident, do not effectually
stay the diarrhea of crime, an indig
nant and Long outraged community
may be driven to the last resort of
taking things into their own hands.

fearful scalp wound, but the skull
was intact, and, at last accounts, the
injured man had recovered the use of
himself and was getting on as comfort
ably as could be expected. The symp-

ceptive and death frcqently follows the
most favorable appearances. The

citizens greatly regret the occurrence

LEADvILLE HAS SEEN ITS BEST DAYS.

LEADvILLE HAS SEEN ITS Best DAYS.
Nearly all the most prominent mines are
shut down, and those that are still rum
ing are working very small force, and
the output of ore amounts almost to
nothing. Not one-half the men are en-
ployed that were last winter, and gen.
eral dullness prevails over the entire
camp and surrounding county. Since
the miners strike in the spring, business
has almost come to stand-stili. 4
number of smelters are shut down also
on account of not receiving ore. On car
Donate hill, out of the large number of
mines, there is not over one working, and
those that were producing largely up to
last spring produce nothing now. The
Little Pittsburg and Crysolite mines have
scared off capitalists so that it is almost
impossible to sell mine now. The only
relief for Leadyille, as the railroads have
got here, is that after they are extended
to the different mining camps she will
draw her supplies of ore from them.

PECULIARITIES OF MONKEYS,

Is there after all much of link Miss
ing between man and his apish progen-
itorsi Very certainly some monkeys
eylnce an amount of shrewdness of which
man might be proud. One who has been
studying the habits of these interesting
animals in the London ''Zoo" writes as
follows of the London Telegraph: "The
tailed ones are already considerable ad-
vanced towards civilization, catch cold
and die of consumption, suffer from ap-
oplexy and from cholera, inflammation,
cataracts, and SO forth, can pass on con-
tagious affection to men or take the sick
ness from them, eat and drink all t'nat
human beings do, and suffer from sur
feits precieely like men and women, for
when drunk over night they have head
aches next morning, scorn solid food and
are exasperated by the mere smell OF
strong liquor, but turn with relish to the
juice of lemons and effervescing draughts.
The keeper will tell you that each mon.
key has its own individual character, Its
own peculiarities Of disposition and tenn

elaborately to take revenge? An officer
