Complaint is made that Col. Riley's

parts Of town, scatters more Of the "pesti-
lential matter" than he picks up. 1t is
charged against him that he loads up with
bandboxes. cast-off drawers, cats, odd
socks, hoopskirts, old boots, tin cans,
jumpers, hats. etc., and drives up Clark
street. scattering them over the tailboard
and sides Of his cart as he Ascends this
t~horoughfsre. This ought not TO be, for
next TO Main street Clark street is more
travelled than any other in town. and there

10 already. We call upon Col. Riley to ad-
monish his lieutenant, for In addition to
the u~nseemliness Of scattering filth, 1t Is
dangerous to have odds and ends moved
about In the road by the wind. Such
things brighten horses.

STEVENS, THE BICYCLIsT.

Tourney.

He Arrives at Ogden After a Hard
Journey.
T. Stevens, the bicyclist, who left San
Francisco April %, and arrived at Palisade
May 10, reached Ogden May II. He told
the Ogden Pilot that he considered the
country through which he had travelled
practically rosdless for bicycling, and he
doubts if he has ridden $50 miles out of 900
from San francisco to Ogden, and he lost
"a pounds of flesh on the trip. One of the
worst features of the trip is the difficulty
Of obtaining hotel accommodations and
the impracticsbility Of carrying blankets
and provisions with his vehicle. He ex-
poets to be able to ride perhaps half the
distance from Ogden TO Omaha, which is
1922 miles. One of the most interestingfea-
lures of the journey has been the wonder and
astonishment of the Indians at the spec
tacle Of a man riding a bicycle. Just east
of Winnemucca a young Piute brave, who
would not believe but what he could ride
anything o white man could, insisted on
trying to ride the steel horse, and giving
too much Of a spring, the a~boriginee exc
cuted o "header," that effectually relieved
him OF further ambition in that direction.
Stevens has met with several adventures
on the trip. In n place having to swim
the Humboldt river, and float his ungainly
machine" across on some drift-wood. He
has been benighted and followed by wolves
for miles.

The Color of Diamonds.

Says a New York expert: ''There is every
imaginable tint, but the principal trade
colors are the standard white and blush
tint, the yellow and brown. The white.
while most valuable. is not always the
most brilliant. The blush tint is much
sought after now. Yellow is the most COM
mon OF the four. Apparently there is a
growing taste for fancy colors in diamonds
a dark brown, bright yellow, or canary,
as it is called, and other natural colors.
Yes, artificial coloring has been done by
the use of ~aniline. A yellow stone dipped
in this receives q blush tint, but this
comes off by exposure to the air or by use.
There was great excitement about the
matter last year both here and in Europe.
l don't think it is practiced much now"

A LIVELY sCRIMMAGE.

AK and singie-tree in the start.
But only Fists In the End.
A lively rough-and-tumble fight took
place last night in front of q popular gro
Gerry store on Main street between a miner,
who, when sober, is ss pleasant as any
body, but who, when under the influence
OF ''tangle-leg," is q ''holy terror" and
one Of the clerks. Fancying that he had
been insulted, he went away and returned
with an Ak In hand to the front Of the
store door, when, confronting the clerk,
who is himself an ugly customer II stirred
up, the following words were exchanged:
Miner--I believe I'll just cut you In two
with this ax.
Clerk don't think I've done anything
to you to deserve that.
M.-Well. I'll let you have it anyway.
O.-Well, / guess you won't.
These words were spoken rapidly, and
they had hardly been uttered when the
clerk stepped back just inside the door and
snatched q single-tree hat was hanging
up. Armed with this he rushed towards
his. asssilant, who was advancing, but
fortunately the men came into col
lison before he could use it.. They
clinched' and down they went upon the
sidewalk together. A struggle ensued, in
which the inebristed miner got the worst
OF it, when outsiders came up and pulled
off the clerk, who was boiling hot and
using his fists with q vengeance. As soon
as our miner found himself erect, he made
q dive for another Of the clerks, who is .
valiant hunter and withal strikes from the
shoulder. At first this man OF hard arm
muscle and sleight in striking was taken at
sad disadvantage, for the equally muscular
miner took in a handful OF his back hair
and held it as In q vice. He wriggled out
Of this foul hold, though, in a few turns,
and then, with his dander fully raised, he
vent for his man with venom and a science
that tells. The miner was sent to grass by
him with . few ~plungers, and satisfaction
was being got for the hair pull our local
Sullivan had suffered, when Officer Walsh
stepped up and released the under man
from chsncery and put him where he
would sober up and be out Of harms way
to himself or anybody else. When he gets
down 10 reflection he will probably regret
the fracas as much as any mar could.

Now Sore of GunpOwder.

The new kind OF gunpowder lately intro
duced by M. Himly is superior to all
others now in use, in the ease and rapidly
of its production and the entire absence OF
danger in the process of manufacture. Its
freedom from any microscopic qualities Is
also evident from the fact that 100 grams
OF the article, exposed to damp weather for
acme four days in an open window, showed
no gain of weight, with Q delicate balance.
II IA two and one-half times more power
full than common powder, and there Ia but
a very slight residue. Another advantage
IL the slight amount Of smoke given on.
and this. as contrasted with that from
nitro-sxplosives. is totally %innocuous.

THE WIDOW AFLOAT.
Mrs. Edgington Transported 10 In
Placers by Water.

Mrs. Edgington Transported 10 In
Placers by Water.
A correspondent Of the New York World
has the following in regard to the tribuls-
tions Of Mrs. Edgington, widow OF the late
Abe Edgington, and a ~well-known former
resident Of the Comstock:
The widows" claim has been jumped,
and is now being worked by IL determined
men, who swear they will stay by it through
thick and thin. 1t has yielded to date
about SIG, 900, and the men who have
secured this sum proclaim their intention
to hold on to 1t in defiance OF the widows
right and title.
Mrs. Edgington, the ~s'widow," seems to
have been unfortunate 10 more ways than
one. She it was who first staked Pritchard,
the man who discovered the new mines,
and first started the cry Of ''gold" in the
Occur d'Alenes. He made the prospecting
tour at her expense, discovered, staked and
named the widows property (the richest
in the gulch), and brought to her at the
Edgington Hotel, Of which she was pro-
prietress, in Butte City, the first specimen
Of gold from the Ceur d'Alene Mountains.
Mrs. Edgington promptly set ont for the
mines last Fall, but reached the mission
just in time to be blocked by Winters
storm and storms.
She remained there until February,
when the tide of gold-seekers began to flow
towards the new gold fields in great num-
bers, but being blessed with 800 pounds of
avoirdupois, no one could be induced to
transport the bulky dame through noun
tain gorges and over bleak submits to the
land Of promise, Her only hope was TO
possess her soul in patience and await the
building Of q boat TO convey her to the
headwaters OF Lake Cnur d'Alene, which
would place her within eight miles OF her
property. Last week the World CORE
spondent had the pleasure Of meeting the
"widow" near the mouth Of C@ur d'Alene
river, serenely seated O. Q pile Of shawls
and skins, in q sort of batteau, or raft,
which was being slowly poled and towlined
along bv q party Of men wading near the
shore. She seemed delighted to hear that
her claim was panning out 30 we'll, and
from q few words which fell from her lips
as we'll as from the blood which plainly
sparkled in her eye, one can readily i'm
agine the lively times in store for the
Jumpers o. soon as the resolute lady
shall arrive at her destination.
This story reads nicely, but We have to
deprive the Enterprise Of its ~"local" item,
for the love of truth compels. The
"Widow Afoat' is not the widow Of Abe
Edgington of Nevada, but 9 pioneer lady
from Vermont. Our Nevada widow has
never yet been in the neighborhood of
Occur d'Alene.-ED. SENTINEL.

THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC.

An exchange says that cholera
first penetrated west of Russia in
1881, in which year, after ravaging
Egypt, it passed to England and
thence to France. On March Is, it
made its appearance in Calais, but
it was not until Feb. Is, of the fol-
lowing year that the first case oc-
CURED in Paris. Ninety deaths
took place in March; Il, 1873 in April,
In May the mortality fell to about
500, but in the latter half of June
again increased. In July 1873
deaths from cholera were register ed,
and about 1000 in August, after
which the death rate diminished
greatly. By this epidemic 1912
persons persisted in Paris alone from
March to September. The epidemic
of 1870 came also, according to Dr.
Buchardet, by way of England, and
during its course more than 10000
persons died in Paris. The third
epidemic, that of 1853-54 killed T.
626 Parisians; that of 1855-66, $751;,
while in that of 1878 only 854 per-
sons persisted. The diminished
number of deaths in the latter cpl
denies may be partly attributed to
the increased knowledge of methods
of combating it, for in 1882 there
were few cures, and in 1849 the
municipal authorities and their
medical advisers knew so little of
| the nature of the disease that they
did not separate cholera patients
from those sick Of other diseases.
Another reason for the great NOR
tality of the two first epidemicS was
their occurrence Immediately after
a revolution, when the garrets OF
Paris were crowded with half-starv-
ed families.

THE TRUTH AND THE NEGO-

ing democrats, among whom was
member of the state committee and
a clerk of the circuit court, attempt
ed to negotiate with Pope, and that
the offers of these gentleman were
properly refused by that candidate
Of a few mongrel politicians. In
this shape the charge was unworthy
of notice, but the Economist copied
the charge and asserted that this
was "the truth-absolute, but not the
whole TRUTH To the question els
this a liza damnable lie"? THE
News is now prepared to reply
On the best possible authority we
deny the statement, specifically and
fully. No conference was held; no
attempt was made to communicate
with Mr., Pope; no committee was
appointed; and of course Pope had
no opportunity of displaying his
eloquenco or political purity on any
such occasion. After the conven-
ton, some half dozen OF Gov. Drew's
personal friends called to see him,
but no such arrangement was pro-
posed or discussed. The whole af-
far rests on the reckless statements
of a party who wished to make a
sensation and was anonymous that
he might be believed
