GIANT POWDER.
Evidence OF Its Unlawful Use Along
Our Streams.

Evidence OF Its Unlawful Use Along
Our Streams.
A passenger who arrived on the
train, last evening, says that from the
car-windows people on board could
see dead fish and spawn floating along
the banks of Silver creek, and the
water was so putrid it could be smeled.
This unfailing evidence of the un-
lawful use of giant powder should
stimulate the officers to make an at.
tempt to bring the offenders to JUS
tice.
Mr.. Cooley, one of the train hands,
who has just returned from a few
weeks hunting and fishing along Big
Wood River, west of Shoshone, says
that he frequently, while on his trip
heard powder explosions along the
banks of the river, and would after.
ward see dead fish floating down.
1t is getting palmer every day thai
unless effective steps are taken to pre-
vent it, the fish which we all prize SC
highly will soon disappear from ou1
streams,

KEILEY-WEIcH-ln ST. Charles Roman Catholic
Church, HALEY, August 7, 1894. by the Rev.
Father Nattin, Miss Bridget Ellen Kelley, Of
HALEY, and William WEIGH, of Bullion.
The ceremony was performed in the
presence of very few friends and
about half-a- dozen other persons who
happened to drop IN at the church.
Both of the high contracting parties
are we'll known here, the groom being
the express and nail contractor be-
tween HALEY and Bullion, and proba-
bly, known to every man, woman and
child in the towns named. The bride
came to HALEY a few months ago, in
order to live near her relatives, the
Kelley brothers, who sold the Silver
King mine last summer.
After the ceremony the newly-mar
ried couple went out for drive, anc
this evening they will entertain few
friends at the Merchants Hotel.

BLASTING WITHOUT CAPS.
Nitro Glycerine Cartridges Exploded
Without the Use Of illuminate.


A miner employed at Ivanpah, San
Bernardino county, CAL, has hit upon
a new way of exploding giant powder
that may work revolution in the use
of that explosive. lthas always been
believed that giant powder would not
explode without the illuminate cap,
and in the use of the cap was the
great danger to be apprchended. Our
miner, who by the way is a sailor
without any miners experience, ran
out Of caps, and seeing no reason why
the powder should not explode with
out, just placed his fuse in position,
tamped his charge and ignited the
fuse; the result was that it exploded
as we'll as though cap had been used.
The result did not surprise him, but
it did the miners, who at once began
to experiment, and have been explod.
ing giant powder without caps since
and find that it does just as we'll as
with them, while the danger of pre-
mature explosion from the cap ii
tamping is avoided. No one though
of it before and if our sailor had know
more of mining he would not hav'
thought of it.

tu'ion of Indiana, but with the help of the
courts it is rendered absolutely nugatory. A
law the preamble of which reads that it shall
apply only to cities with 10000 votes, is held
to be good, although it is perfectly well known
that it is intended for and can only apply to
Indianapolis. Yet the courts hold such law
valid, on the same principle, we presume, that
they have no Judicial knowledge that gill is

for such a law, and the judges who pronounce
it good, know perfectly well that they are VIC

SAYS the New Albany Public Press, a Dem
ocratic paper edited by Mr., Josiah Gwin, at
one time member of the Democratic State
central committee of this State:
''The election of Henry B. Payne over
George H. Pendleton by the Legislature of
Ohio is a lasting disgrace to the Democracy of
that great State. 1t is an insult to and an
outrage upon Democracy everywhere. n
''While Pendleton represented the purest
and best element of Democracy in Ohio Payne
represented the worst. He bought his nom
nation outright with gold, and the internal
Democratic scoundrels who sold out for filthy
lucre ought to be in the penitentiary for life.
The communities in which they live and
which they disgrace would be safer with the
purchased cattle behind prison bars than to be
misrepresented by them in the State Legisla-
ture.
'The Democracy-not only of Ohio, but of
the entire natiOn-should repudiate the out
rage in language too plain to be misunder-
stood and entirely too forcible to be disre-
garded. The seal of condemnation should be
placed upon the act by every honest Democrat
in the land"
But there is no Democrat anywhere, brother,
to raise his voice in protest They will take
their dose of oil and bless the hand that tend
ers it.

THE Columbus Republican SAYS:

whenever the prospective candidates for
Governor on the Republican ticket are can
vassed the name of Col. W. w. Dudley is sure
to be among the most prominent. He is a
prime favorite with Indiana Republicans and
there is little doubt that he could secure the
nomination if he were to actively seek it.
But he does not want it. We have been shown
a private letter from Col. Dudley to a personal
friend, in which he positively declares that he
will not be candidate under any circum-
stances One reason is that he does not wish
to give up the work IL which he is engaged,
in which he is greatly interested and feels
that he can serve with much benefit to the
soldiers and the country and honor to himself.
He is also poor man, and could not afford the
time and expense of making canvass, and a
sense of pride would not permit him to accept
proffered aid from friends for this purpose.
He is not insensible to the kind wishes of
numerous friends, or of the honor but sense
of duty compels him to devote what means he
may have to the maintenance of his family and
the education of his children, rather than the
advancement cf his own political prospects,
There is no doubt that Col. Dudley is in earn
est in the expression of these sentiments, and
that he does not wish to be regarded as posi-
BILE candidate for the position"

"This is the first fitting tribute paid the
memory of an Indianian. Morton deserved
this tribute of remembrance. His
record is the inheritance of Indianians, and it
might have been much worse"
The way of the rock-ribbed Democrat is
hard on such occasions. Are we to understand
that man who leaves record that Knight
have been much worse" is entitled to monu-
ments And is record that Knight have
been much worse an inheritance" that de-
serves such 'tribute of remembrance" Dr.
johnson told of the royal scamp who cleft a
name at which the world grew pale, to point "a
moral and adorn tale" Is this the sort of a
compliment the Pharos intended to pay the
memory of Senator Mortons The Pharos should
know that times have changed much since
Morton was threatened with assassination for
his patriotism.
