A Lively Camp.Meeting.

]. II. Trotter, of Ogden, went up
to Smith & Hale's grading camp, on
the Oregon Short Line, and set up
his tent with stock Of wines,
liquors and cigars. Everything was
lovely until Sunday, when gang
came down and tried to run the ma
chine. Mr.. Trotter very naturally
objected to any such proceedings,
and put the party out. In short
time they returned with reinforce
ments, armed with guns, knives and
clubs. and began smashing things
generally. They got Trotter down, but
he managed to reach a spade and
went for them with that. Then they
began firing, one ball going over
Trotter's head and another into his
trunk, whereupon brother Trotter re-
turned the fire. He had thirty min
utes given him to leave the camp,
and he left for American Falls,
where he got the United States Mar.
shall and returned to Smith and
Hale's camp. Mr.. Trotter writes
that he does not expect to recover q
cents worth of property and don't
know what they will do in the mat
ter. One man was killed in til.

The Loss of the Escambia.

SAN Francisco, June y. - The
consular court Of inquiry on the loss
of the steamer Escambia, convened at
the British Consul's office this morn
ing.
Captain Purvis, of the Escambia,
testified that the vessels speed slowed
without orders from him. She fell
off, and she foundered in few min
utes. He knew no cause for stopping
the engine. Considered the vessel in
perfectly seaworthy condition, not
overloaded, the ballast tanks were
empty, and there were only about 40
tons of coal on deck. There was
somewhat Of panic in getting out
the boats. The rest of the testimony
was in accordance with a previous
dispatch.

THE TIMES MAP.
How Localities Can be Stated by Its
Aid.

We are under obligations to T. f.
Picottc, of the Wood River TINES,
for copy Of his Times Map of
the Wood River mining region. 1t
is Of large size and seems to cover
the whole ground. Instead of hav-
ing lines Of latitude and longitude,
it has concentric rings-like the
growths one sees in trees-Hailey.
the home of the TINES, being the
heart or hub. Thus it would seem
that in stating the advantages of a
location in that country, one would
say: 1t has but two rings from Hal
ley, or three rings from Haley; OF,
with sigh, it is nine rings from Hal
ley, which would carry us beyond
Sawtooth into the region of Lake Ia
homa. The rings are each five miles
in width. The map is really very
good and useful one, and the con-
centric plan is very good, too, though
the stationary leg of the compasses
was stuck into the spot which repre-
sents Hailey.-Virginia (Nev. En-
terprise.

Homeless and Destitute.

MALcoM, Iowa, June 22.-I have
just returned from Northwestern Iowa
and find this town in ruins, with one
fourth of the population entirely
homeless and destitute. Every bust
ness man has suffered severe losses
and many business houses are de-
stroyed. None here are able to as

The Crop Outlook IN Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, June 22.-The State
Bureau of Agriculture says of the
wheat crop that 100000 bushels
is the largest estimated crop that
Kentucky has ever raised. With not
less than 10 per cent more in acre
age in wheat than in previous years
and an assurance of an extra yield
in every section of the State, it is
estimated that the largest previous
yield will be surpassed. This esti-
mate cannot be far wrong. Oats are
larger than last year, and the crop
promises to be unusually fine. The
corn crop is larger than usual, and
stands better than for years.

Another Effort to Save Guiteau.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Guiteau
will be hung one week from omor
row, and he is keenly alive to the
horror of the fate that is in store for
him. This morning Rev. DR.. Hicks,
Mr.. Reed, DR.. G.. Beard, Of New
York, and Miss Chevalier, of Boston,
Secretary Of the National Society
for the protection of the Insane,
called upon him. Guiteau said that
this lady was to present to the Presi-
dent a petition of many medical men,
asking that sentence be suspended
until an examination Of his mental
condition could be made. The pris-
oner was glad to see her.
DR.. Gooding, of the Government
Insane Asylum, joined the party
when at the Jail, and proceeded to the
White House. The party was pre-
sented to the President and DR..
Gooding, and in addition to the Pc
tition letters were filed from DR..
Gooding, DIR. Thomas Fisher, DR.. d.
McAland, DR.. VIM. j. Morton, DR..
Hammond, and DR.. Clark Bell. of
New York. The latter argued that
from a legal standpoint there was no
defense of the assassin on the ground
of insanity.
The President listened to all that
was said, but gave no ground for en-
enlargement, and said the matter
would be referred to the Attorney
General.

UNITED STATES.
Discussing the Internal Revenue.

WASHINGTON, June % The
House, in committee of the whole, de-
voted the entire day to general de-
bate on the bill to reduce internal
revenue taxation. More than
dozen speeches were made, but there
was little general interest manifest
ed, as most of the members had al
ready made up their minds how they
would vote upon it.
Page, of California, Chairman of
the Commerce Committee, made a
speech against any reduction what
ever of internal revenue taxation.
Page believes in a full national
course, and declares that in resist
ing reduction of taxes he repre-.
sents the sentiment Of the people
whom he represents. This brought
Kelly to his feet, and he read reso-
luton adopted by the Forty first
Congress, upon which there were
only six negative votes, the House
declaring that internal revenue taxes
were levied solely as a measure of
war, and that when the expenses
growing out of the war should have
been so far reduced as to justify it,
internal revenue taxes should be
abolished. The Forty second Con
gress, Kelly said, has passed SINH
lar resolution, with only 25 negative
votes
Page declared that all this made
no difference, and that when those
resolutions were adopted Congress
men had no idea how great would be
the burden imposed.

Concerning Egypt.

LONDON, June 22.-In the House
of Commons this afternoon, Dixie,
Under Foreign Secretary, confirmed
the statement that Sir Edward Malct
and M. Sienkiewiez in Egypt had
been instructed to do nothing imply
ing recognition of the new Egyptian
Ministry.
1t is ascertained from official sources
that there is no truth in the rumors
with reference to trouble in the Cab
met in consequence Of objections to
intervention in Egypt. The rumors
are attributed to the devices Of oper-
ators in Egyptian securities on the
Stock Exchange.

Supposed to Have Been Murdered In

Boise Statesman, Goth.
For week or ten days past dark
rumors of Il foul murder on the road
have been aAoat, and occasional
doubtful hints dropped by persons
in official position have kept the pub
lie on the tip=toe of expectancy ever
since. Officials of Oregon, Nevada
and Idaho were generally acquainted
with the story Of the affair in circu-
lation, but managed to keep particu-
lars from the general public. Dur
ing the last three days rather dis
connected story of the supposed
murder has reached this city
through the medium of private cor
respondence and otherwise. The de-

Il am very much pleased. But keep
your secret, both of you, for the present, y
she said.
A few nights later, without warning,
Aunt Wealthy died so peacefully, and
lay SO TRANQUILITY at rest, that those who
lc jed her best could not wish her to re-
turn to the pain she had suffered patient
ly so long.
"Of course it's a sreat aff1iction," re-
marked Mrs. Coles; "but don't cry so
much, Lefty; it makes your eyes red.
Then came the search for the will; but
no will could be found-nothing but
little note among the tea-colored cups
and saucers:
This service of delf bequeath to my
dear niece. Lefty WEALTHY DALE.
"IncredibleH cried Mrs. Coles; but
Lefty said:
"I've had the happiest hours Of my
life over these little cups. am so glad
she gave them to me-"
She packed them away with the great
est care, while others ransacked tue
house from garnet to cellar. But no
will could be found and nobody could
take possession of the Slopes without a
great deal OF litigation; so Frank lmbert
continued to carry on the farming, and
the Coles went back to their city home,
Portia in high dudgeon at the failure
of the whole thing, and Mrs. Coles de-
jected to tears.
"You must make sure Of Ned Dudley
this winter, if you can, Portia; but how
I'm to get you respectfully married, l
don't know. I've had all my wedding
things made over for you already. While
Lefty"
ooh, I'll do very we'll, mamma; don't
worry about me-" said Lefty, with q
blush.
By and by Mrs. Coles suspected the
truth, and said
LEFTY, if there is anything between
you and Frank Imbert am willing you
should marry him, for he's q very re-
spectacle young man, and we arc as poor
as church mice"
Then Lefty bravely confessed the
truth, and there was quiet wedding IN
Cherryville church in less than month,
and Lefty went to the Slopes to live
with Frank Imbert. And then she must
have her first tea from Aunt Wealthys
pretty deli, which was now hers.
"Why, what is this in the sugar bowl,
Frank?" and what was it but Aunt
Wealthy's will:
"I give and bequeath the Slopes, and
all other Of my possessions, without
limit or reserve, to my niece, Lefty
Coles; and with these my blessing on
her marriage to Frank Imbert."
Portia married Ned Dudley, and
Mrs. Coles went abr oad with them, and
was presented at Court; but nobody was
as happy as Lefty and Frank, who all
their lives drank their tea from Aunt
Wealthy's deli, and finally bequeathed
it to their children.

By summer breezes famed,
Looked around him awed, subdued
BY the dreadful solitude,
Hearing alone the crv

The crash and grind of the hoe,
Wall of wind, and wash OF tide

Land OF lands the worst,
Col f,rsaked and curst,
Thy gates of rock shall show
The words of the Tuscan seer

"Hope entereth not here
Lo! At his feet there stood
A block Of fsmoth lockwood,
Beside a rock-closed cave,
By nature fashioned for grave,
Safe from the ravening bear
And the fierce fowl of the air,
Wherein to rest WAS laid
A twenty summer maid
Whose blood had equal share
OF the lands OF vine and snow,
Half French. half Eskimo.
In letters uneftaced
Upon the blocks were tracked
The grief and hope OF man,
And thus the legend ran:
ave loved her,
Words cannot tell how well
We loved her,
God loved her
And called her home to peace and rel
We loved her"
The stranger paused and read,

And ifthe fierce wind blow
Over thv wastes ofroak and snow,

A leading merchant Of Louisville re-
fused to buy a 3ealskin sacque for his
daughter. The next day she left the
house, and when night came she did not
return. For two weeks all efforts to dis
cover her were unavailing, but the de.
tectives employed in the case at length
learned that she was employed as a do
nestle servant, under an assumed name.
She refused to return home until her
parent promised to get her the sacque.
