man shot one Kleber fatally at that
place on the Sd inst. Cause: An arti-
Gle appeard in tho paper relating to
beer, in which the editor said that to
'beat Waila Walla beer one would have
to rise early in the morning. Kleber
had advertised in that journal certain
foreign beer, which he highly recon-
mended. Kleber took offense at the re-
marks made by the editor, and procured
pistol, with which he said he would
kill him, and went to the ONCE to do 20,
when the editor told him he did not
want any trouble with him and asked
him to leave. Kleber would not heed
the friendly advice, and took the news
paper man by the collar Of the coat and
started to chastize him. when the editor
drew bull dog pistol, which he plsced
at the breast OF Kleber and fired. He
was arrested, and very properly dis
charged as he only acted in self defence

THE MINERS DUTY.

Mining operators and others interest
ed in the representation of mining
properties, who fail to see notice OF their
operations in The KEYSTONE, are invited
to understand that this omi sion is
purely theirs, not ours. The KEYSTONE
solicits correspondence and information,
OF a reliable nature, and in many in
stances depends upon the thoughtful
ness Of its subscribers for important
items. 1t is our desire to deal Justice
alike to one and all in giving as fair a
representation as possible of all the
mining and prospecting operations in
the upper Wood River and Sawtooth
countries, but oftentimes it becomes
All impossibility to catch items OF inter-
est that fail to come before the public
eye and do their portion Of the conntrv's
duty and benefit in making our resour-
ces known, simply because of disin-
terest too often felt towards this i'm
portant feature of our united action
on the part Of mining men and others in
authority, while we are earnest in the
search of all that tends to place just
representation of our vast resources be-
fore the world, we cannot always ferret
out'news when we are given no report,
and are by no means omnipresent.

SOJOURNER TRUTH.

The death of this noted woman at Battle Creek, Mich, on the 26th ult., ends re- markable life
 Soiourner Truth, as she called herself, was born a slave in Ulster County, N. Y., 1775, and until she gained he freedom was known by the name of Isabella When she was nine years old she was sold on the auction block with lot of sheep, she and the sheep bringing $104. She was owned by Colonel Ardinburgh, but in 1927 she was emancipated. Her life as 8 slave was hard one, her laoor being almost endless, and she was under no improving influences. She never learned to read or write. At an early age she experienced religion, and, as most colored people do, she became very enthusiastic over it, never missing an op- portunity to attend camp meeting By her lectures in various parts of the country on slavery, temperance and other topics, and her services as hospital nurse during the war, she gained much notoriety, but 1 she ever sought to do conscientiously what she considered to be her work and did not seek the applause of her fellow-beings. Previous to the war Sojourner held se- ries of meetings in Northern Ohio. She sometimes made strong points in her speeches which she knew would hit hard those who apologized for slavery. At the close of one of these meetings man came up to her and said "Old woman, do you think that your talk about slavery does any good? Do you suppose people care for what you say? Why, I don't care auy more for your talk than do for the bite of flea ]" Perhaps not" Sojourner said "but, the Lord willing, I'll keep you scratching !'' Some years ago Mrs. liar riet Beecher Stowe wrote what is known as Sojourner Truths Book of Life,' vol tune that had an extensive sale among anti slavery people. In 1876 this book was en- larged and reprinted at the expense of Mrs. Francis w. Titus, of Battle Greek, Mlch., where Sojourner lived for many ytars. In Sojourner's estimation Abraham Lincoln was the foremost man of all this world, and in October, 1864, she went from Michigan to the white house to see him. 'I said to him. to quote her own words, "'Mr. President, when you first took your seat feared you would be torn to pieces-for ikened you to Daniel who was thrown into the lions den; and if the lions did not te"r you into pieces, knew it would, be God that would save you Aud said to myself, if He spared you, l would come and see you myself before your term of office was out; and He has done, and here l am to see you MT. L1ncoin congratulated me on my having been spared. told him that thought he was the best president that had ever lived, as he es1ancipated the slaves. * He showed me several nice presents of his and before I went away he wrote III my Book of Life, in big, b'ld hand, and with the same fingers that signed the death warrant of slavery: For Aunty So- journer Truth. Oct. 29, 1864. A. Lin coln.'" During the last few years she had been very feeble at times, and during the summer of 1876 the report that she was dead was sent put from her Michigan home.

HOW JUNGLE TOMS CABLN'' CAME TO BE
 PUBLISHED.

MT. John J. Jewett, the original pub- fisher of ''Uncle Toms Cabin, in recent interview with a correspondent of the Chi cago Inter- Ocean, was asked
 "How did you come to be publisher of Uncle Toms Cabin ?''
 'I suspect" hereplied, ''it was princi- pally because I was rabid anti-slavery mau, although the fact that I had previ- ously been the publisher of book by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher may have had something to do with it. After 8 careful examination I concluded that the story would repay the cost of publication in book form, aud would yield some profit. Possi- bly, l was helped to that conclusion by my firm conviction that the volume would prove strong anti-slavery document. Al all events, I expressed willingness to publish it, and the next thing was to ar- range the terms. Prof. Stowe Was in fa- vor of selling the manuscript for sum down. I tell wife, said he to me, that if she can get good black silk dress or $50 i'll money for the story, she had better take it."
 Do you believe that you could have bought the story for $50 ?''
 T believe that could have bought it for $25."
 'sSo large were the orders for the book that from the day first began to print it the eight presses never stopped, day or night, save Sundays, for six months, and even then there were complaints that the volumes did not appear fast enough. In 8 little while was able to inform Prof. and Mrs. Stowe that their precentage al rsady amounted to $1O, 900, and although my contract with them required me to dive note only, would pay them that sum in cash.
 "How did they receive your informa- tion ?''
 ssThey seemed little dazed by the news. The sum was so vastly beyond anything they expected or had heretofore possessed, that it appeared to them like great for tune. When they called at my office, handed Prof. Stowe my check for SIG, ,0O0, payable to his order. N,ither the Profess sor nor Mrs. Stowe had ever before receiv- ed & check, they told me, and they did not know what to do with it or how to get the money it represented. I explained to the Professor that he must endorse the check and present it for payment. I ad- vised him to deposit the money in the same bank. We went thither together. in troduced him to the president, and the Professor opened an account. After in- struc ing him how to keep his check book and so on, and cautioning him and his wife never to go about with more than $5 in their pockets. bade them good day, and they went on their way rejoicing. When gave them second check for $1O,- 900 l found they needed no further in structions.
 How many copies of Uncle Tom did you publish ?''
 More than 32O, 900 sets of two volumes each were published in the first year. Af- ter that the demand fell off. '

Lexington {Ky) Cor. Philadelphia Times.l CERRO GORDO WILLIAMS AND THE BUGLER

Old Cerro Gordo Williams is the hand somest man of his years in Kentucky, not excepting Gen. William Preston, formerly minister to Spain and at the court of sus- ceptible Isabella. Williams is six feet two inches, with grizzled iron mustache and curled wig, piercing gray eyes, the framr of giant, and voice of fine, melodious ring. He is as vain as peacock. While travelling in southern Russia, when a young man, he alighted at village when the Emperor Nicholas was hourly expect ed Williams was taken for the emperor It took the Russians au hour to get over the mistake, but Williams has never entirely recovered. He won his title by gallantry before the walls of Cerro Gordo, captain in Scott's army, and he has maintained his fame for prowess by many personal en- counters since, in all of which he handled himself we'll. He affects the quality di- vine to puliticians-of an infal ible memory for names and faces, and is not above the crudest arts of demagogue. One even- ing, while he was dining with some friends in an upper room at the town hotel, one of his admirers stumbled across .Buck' Combs, who had been bugler in Williams regiment during the war. They had not met since. Combs got his bugle, aud, ac- compan1ed by an immense crowd, went down to serenade his old commander with war melodies. Standing under his win dow he lifted up the old regimental call to "boot and saddle" He repeated it once and again.
 ''Tom." said old Williams to his host, "where is that stage starting to this tim of night, and what is the driver tootin' so d-d much about p
 "Why, senator" explained his friend, respectfully, ''that's Buck Combs, your old bugler, serenading you. I told 'em you would remember him and his bugle, and they want speech"
 The old general stepped out of the win dow on the balcony, and, lifting his voice as silence fell on the crowd, began:
 .'That bugle call, ? he said, with chok- ing voice, "that bugle..call, my friends, il like 8 dear echo of memory. If l had heard it in the untrodden wilds of path less wilderness, would have known that old Buck Combs was winding it's sweet notes. Often has it called the old com mand to fields of carnage and the thrill oi victory Cheers There is but one buglel in the world who could evoke those sweet notes. and that is Buck Combs, of the old tn Kentucky. [Cheers.l I knew ii the instant heard it. !" Cheers.
