MI. Blaine's libel suit is met in the
first stage of its progress by a de-
murrer against the complaint. The
defense holds that the alleged libel
is simply an inquiry in regard to
the truth of q certain matter and that
the complaint is not explicit enough
as to the person meant in the alleged
libelous article. Mr.. Blaine will
probably learn before he gets through
with this matter that q libel suit is

Dame Weasel And Her Husband

When Dame Vessels son wa,
born, she called her husband anl
said' "Go find the cloth,
that 1 want and bring them TO me-
The husband listened attentively
to his wife's word and said, "Whai
swaddllng-cloths do you want?"
And Dame Weasel replied: "I
! want an elephants skim"
The poor husband was stupefed bv
this request, and asked his better
half if she was not a little out of her
head, the only answer Dame Weasel
made was to toss the child into his
arms and disappear.
She went to seek the earth-worm.
and said to him: "Gosslp. NV
grounds are full of turf; help me to
shake it upa little"
AS 500 as the earth-worm began
to burrow, Dame Weasel called a
hen: Gossip" said she, my turf
is full OF earth-worms; come and help
me get rid OF Them"
The hen hurried to the SPOT. ate
the worm and began to scratch up
the soil.
A little farther on Dame Weasel
met the cat "Gossip," said She.
there are some hens in my garden;
while l am away suppose you take q
walk in that direction"
The next moment the cat had
eaten the hen. While the cat was
regarding herself, Dame Weasel said
to the dog; "Good, Sir, will Won
leave tbs cat in possession of such a
wide DOMAINE"
The dog, furious, rushed to kill
the cat, not wishing any one but
himself to oe lord of our country.
The lion new passing by, Dame
Weasel salutod him with profound |
respect. "My lord" said she, "don't
go near that field, it belong to the !
Whereupon the lion, full of jealousy
fell upon the dog and devoured him. |
IT was now the elephants turn:
Dame Weasel begged his support
against the lion, and the elephant
entered as a protector on the grounds
Of the suppliant. But he did not
know that the %perfidious weasel had
lug q deep hole in her garden and
covered it with underbrush.. The
elephant fell into the snare and kill
I'd himself by the fall; the lion, who
the elephant fled into the for
,st.
Dame Weasel now had the ele-
chants skin, and showed it to her
husband, saying, II asked you for
he elephants skin, here it is.O
The husband of Dame Weasel had
lot known before that his wife was
'leverer than all the beasts of the
arth, and still less had he imagined
hat she could be cleverer than HIM
elf. But he found it out at last.

Governor Hendricks has opened
the campaign in Indiana in earnest.
He proposes to carry the State for
Cleveland and himself, and unless
all slgrs fail he will do It. Hendricks
Il q power In Indiana. His record,
public aud private, is without . flaw,
and the people Of his State have such
unbounded confidence In his ability
and honesty that he willdraw largely
from the votes Of the opposition. The
fact that he was fairly elected to the
ce-Presidency in 1876 and was
shamefully deffauded Of the Office is
. potent factor In his favor in the
present campaign. The people of
Indiana are not without . feeling of
resentment in the matter, and they
now have IN opportunity to empha-
size their indignation at the treat
ment he received at the hands Of the
Republican party In the year named.
Hendricks will lose no opportunity
to mention this fact during his can
vass Of the State.
MI. Hendricks has no faith in
the assertion that the Irish will OPP
pose Cleveland. The Irish, he says,
T natural Democrats. They have
breathed the breath of anxious desire
in their own country for . better
government" This IL true, and with
the Democracy Of America they find
their true political home. MI. Hen
bricks well says that: "there has
never been q time when the rights of
had to be vindicated in
this country that the Democratic
party did not stand up for their
rights" He never uttered truer
When the Know othings

recites his own expert

The deceased was one Of the pic.
ncers OF the Pacific Coast, he having
come in lS49, and was widely known
throughout the mining regions. as
there was hardly camp OF any i'm
portance which he had not visited.
Several times he has been wealthy,
but his liberality always impoverished
him. In 1865 he was one of the rich
est placer miners in Alder gulch,
Montana, and a godsend to all his
less successful acquaintances. He
came to Wood River some wears ago
and located some very promising pros
poets, but none of them have as yet
developed ore in paying quantities.
Lattcr!y he was employed at the Mar
row Gauges, whence he was brought
to HALEY "a few days ago.
His funeral will take place from the
hall of the Bullion Miners Union, at
| o'clock to morrow afternoon. He
will be buried in Haley.

Locating Works at PocatelIo.
Two gentlemen arrived by train,
Sunday evening, to look into our
sources Of ore-supply and probable
future production, with the view of
founding huge smelling ENTERPRISE
at or near Pocatello. at the junction
of the Utah Northern and Oregon
Short Line Railways.
These gentlemen are eminent min
ing engineers who have had many
years experience in the reduction Of
ores, and they entertain the opinion
that smelling will never pay in the
Wood River region, because the ores
are not sufficiently diversified. With
works at Pocatello. however, this
would be changed as from that point
ores could be got from Montana,
Idaho, Utah, and even Oregon and
Colorado, and any character or grade
OF ore wanted could be obtained on
short notice. In this way the guam
tty Of tlux used would be reduced to
minimum, and good profitable
smelling business could be conducted.

CAPTAIN Baxter's "Firc Works"

The Baxter Hotel, at ketchum, has
small fire department Of its own,and
the water accommodations are the best
on the river. The water is brought
from distance up Trail Creek by a
pipe and distributed through the
house at every convenient point. And
as an extra precaution against fire, Il
large force-pump, with handles and
room for eight men to work at once,
i, kept in readiness for instant use,
and fire buckets, ladders, hooks, etc,
are kept in perfect order in a room
handy by. Facilities like these in
every block in tn. town would te a
great protection, and where there is
no organized fire department business
men should combine and at least put
in pumps in every block.
