It has lcph rtntOred aInut town
for some time that party by the
name Of Knox FROM Spokane Falls,
had lost his way while going into the
mines and had perishCd in seNerC
snow storm, WCreg-ct TO hear the ru-
niOr confirmed by met recently from
the mines. Knox, who was former
ly painter in this city, and is better
Known ~ Paddy Hn,N, has been
prospecting fora numbt r Of months.
Early last summer he M de Il long
trip up through the COlville and
OkanOgan countries, extending his
travels to British COlum' ia. On
learning Of the discovery of gold fl
the CTur d'Alene mountains lrst
fall he Immediately started uptherr.
1t seems that he started out with a.
companion when a eaVy snow storm
clme up. The two men separated,
and Knox has not been seen since.
y party of men coming out of the
mines heard six or seven shots fred
fr m th' nm fun Oul.ain. The
crowd surprising one lost made
slight search that was unrt wardcd.
As it is over IwO weeks since Knox
disappeared all hopes Of his coming
in alive have vanished.

Besides his professional qualifica-

hereafter be known as Bowen Il

are experienced wOTkmcn they will
find no difficulty in enlarging the

Last Wednesday Messrs. Simpson,
Norton and Robertson, three car
penters who put in the summer and
fall on Union Block, started for the
Big Bend. They had a wagon with
sleigh runners and wheels that can
be reversed when necessary, the
former being used as long as the
snow holds good, when the running
gear can be changed. The, boys took
out a large supply Of provisions and
a full kit of tools, intending to locate
at Okanogan, where they will be
able to take up land and at the same
time work at their trade. The de-
mand for carpenters in that section
insures them plenty of work.

The City Council has been hard at
work this week figuring on the prop
Ositions before them to furnish the
city with gas and water. The gas
proposition comes from Henry l..
jackson, Of Philadelphia, Henry l..
Moody, of Portland, and |. c. Town
send, of Spokane Falls. The water
men are w. II. Taylor and J. Griffins
Of this city. Both are fair and
square propositions, and we feel safe
in saying that both offers will be ac-
cepted. The Council held two meet
ings this week and will hold another
Monday evening to finally pass on
the question. It is useless to go into
particulars until the matter is def
nitely settled.

The series Of Union services that
have been held each evening Of the
week, alternating at the various
churches, have been very largely at
tended, indeed the success Of these
meetings have been a pleasant sur
prise to the ministers taking part.
The first ggited meeting was held
in Cann0fX Hall, last Sunday even
ing, and that large room was un-
equal to the tax upon it for space,
and before the proceeding COM
menced many people were turned
from the doors unable TO secure seats.
The auspiciOus Inauguration OF the
week Of prayer augured fOrtuitiOus
continuation and tie result Of the
weekly sessions have surpassed the
expectations Of those in charge. 1t
is said that the largest audiences
ever seen at week day prayer meet
ings have assembled.

Geo. T. Crane & Co., the we'll
known firm of this city dealing in
stoves, tinware and hardware, are
preparing to put up a branch house
at Rathdrum. Mr.. Crane has made
several.trips to our neighboring town
and this week secured a lot and let
the contract for a store building,
which will be ready for use in short
time. The gentlemen have done a
tremendous business since opening
out here last fall, and the new
branch Is an outgrowth Of that pros
perity. The new establishment
will by no means weaken
the house here, as this will be made
their supply point. We would not be
surprised to learn that the firm
intended to locate branches at other
points in the Northwest, for the
members are wide awake and do
not hesitate to make a venture il
there be a shadow of a chance to
make anything out Of it.

A brakeman named Chas. Wild,
on passenger train No. coming

day night at Cabinet. 1t seems
that Wild was in the act of coupling
two cars when his foot slipped and
he threw out his hands To
save himself form falling under the
cars when his right hand was caught
between the bumpers and terribly
larcerated. The young man was
brought down to therailrOad hospital

hopes of saving the hand In spite Of

1t is amusing to witEess the great anxiety
manifested by some would be lea iers OF the
Republican party in regard to the action OF
the majority in the lower house of Congress.
No blunder yet. 1t is bIunders the Rspub'
licans are seeking. Even straw IN that
direction would be acceptable. Without
some mistake defeat is inevitable, and de
feat means much to the Republican party
II is an everlasting adieu to office and the
emoluments thereof, and opportunity for the
future for pecu'a.ion by which co'cs5ai Tor
tunes are smassed at the expense OF the
country and the taxpayers. No wonder
that Office seeking Republicans are watching
with bated breath the proceedings in Con-
gres,. Experience teaches many Lessons
and among the rest is that promises made BY
the Republican party are eobwebs when they
stand in the way of party success. You
will be trusted no more by the people.
Your doom is sealed. Prepare to abdicate

II is consoling to reflect that no matter
what calamities may befall mankind during
the present year there will be plenty of eclipses
on the Pacific Coast. People who are too

arrange their affairs in order to have time to
see the second, the third. the fourth or the
6fth. The first will occur on March 9th. and
W Il be partial eclipse of the pun, and will be
visible throughout the United States. The
second is billed for April I0sh. and will be a
total eclipse of the sun. and will be visible
throughout North and South America and in
Australia. On the 18th of April a partial
eclipse Of the sun will occur. but for reasons
best known TO the weather clerk, will not be
visible in America. On October 4th total
eclipse Of the moon will occur. ''The devils
in the moon for mischief, and on this account
that luminary will only permit the virtuous
people Of the Pacific Coast To observe the
darkness of her silver disk. On the remainder
of the world she will continue to smile with
her usual hypocritical splendOr. Some time
November she will again be totally eclipsed,
