How n ColOred ResurrectfOnist Cos
the Bounce at Boise City.
The Boise Idsho) Statesman relates the
following: John Earle's colored jockey,
jim, had q horrible experience Monday
night, and all those who knew him say he
has grown at least two shades paler since
it occurred. 1t seems that Jim had
agreed, for q handsome consideration, to
assist in the resurrection of a corpse for q
physician, and in the dead of night was
led to the outskirts Of the city TO the sup
posed grave which he was to rife. A
mound Of earth had been heaped up for
his benefit, and Jim set to work sinking q
shaft at a rate that would justify him in
thinking he would strike q lead in about
20 minutes. He didn't work that long,
however, for he had hardly commenced
operations when a figure arrsyed in white
and bearing a Misunderstanding gun,
coming apparently from the land of no.
| where, appeared upon the scene. The gun
| went off; 80 did Jim, though where
or how he went there was naught

| road back to town. All was silent
for a moment, then peals of laughter were
heard from the conspirators who put up
the job on the poor coon, and they per-
fected their plans for carrying their joke
| still further.
Next morning one of their number per-
sonated the detective, visited MI. Earle's
stables and measured the feet OF the va
rious attaches to see how they compared
with the tracks left at the scene OF the
alleged outrage. He finally picked upon
Jim, told him the proofs against him were
convincing and that he would probably be
sent to the pen. for 20 years.. Jim swore
that he had not been out OF his room at all
during the previous evening, and his
fright during the entire day was intense.
At last he became aware Of the nature OF
the Joke, and felt considerably relieved.
But il will be q cold day when that mig
goes on another grave robbing expedition.

The Sacramento FILLING Up.
T,x. rxr,guy

SACRAMENTO, Aug 19.-The steamers
Modoc and Apache are both grounded to-
day upon the bar just below the city, the
Modoc having been there all night. 1t is
almost q certainty that navigation will be
entirely suspended in q few days. Mayor
Brown is to call a meeting OF citizens to
consider the subject Of keeping open the
channel, as the closing of the river will
deprive Sacramento Of cheap freight and
interfere seriously with the bringing OF
the State Fair exhibits.

DISTINGUISHED MASONIC Wis.
lTOR.
General Albert Pike Making the
Rounds of the Coast.

Rounds Of the Coast.
The Salt Lake Tribune publishes the
following. which may be OF interest to
some of our readers: There was quite q
stir among the Masonic fraternity Tues
day, and upon inquiry as to the cause it
was learned that General Albert Pike was
in the city. The General is the Chief of
what is known as the Scottish Rite Masons
for the southern jurisdiction OF the United
States. which is about as large as the
northern jurisdiction and has permanent
headquarters established at Washington,
where the society owns considerable valu-
able property. It is this branch Of Masons
to which the thirty-third degree belongs
and which can only be given to a limited
number OF men. There are several thirty
second degree Masons in this city, but
only one thirty-third degree member, Mr..
J. W. Mills having recently been honored
with that degree. General Pike was q
soldier in the Mexican war n is q vener-
bile and distinguished gentleman. he is
making a tour of the West in conjunction
with the Secretary General in the interest
of this branch Of the order.

sIxTY-sEYEN YEARS AGO.
Liverpool Mercury Gave Hi
Readers In 1878.

An Idea Of What n Editor of the
Liverpool Mercury Gave His
Readers In 1878.
The SENTINEL is under obligations to
L. B. Waite for a copy Of the Liverpool
(England) Mercury of Friday, May /, 1918,
now over 67 years old. In size it is the
same as Harper's Weekly, except that it
has but eight pages. and they are num-
bered as if intended for binding up with
an index. The price, if paid in advance,
was 20 shillings 6 pence per year. While
its typographical appearance Is neat, yet
its style is purely Of the time in which IL
was published. Its columns were devoted
chiefly to political matters, and one
OF the principal subjects being debated at
the time in the House OF Commons was a
tax pledged by the Irish Parliament for
loans raised; that England was paying be-
tween two and three millions of war taxes;
that the taxes OF Ireland were not equal 10
the interest of the consolidated fund, and
that Ireland had brought England no ad-
dition OF revenue, but a large addition TO
the national debt. In short, Ireland was
the same old thorn in England's side.
Among the miscellaneous matter is a
tumble OF abslrdity, which, undoubtedly.
