Our widely and favOrably known
townsman, John A. Todd, has add
ed stlll another feature to his bottling
establishment that mikes It rank ut
the head Of houses engaged In the
sIne business In the territory. Mr.
Todd commenced the process ORE
ceiving Milwaukee beer in bulk md
bottllng for this market, iR small
building at the cornerOi Lincoln and
spmgue streets. Being 4 double
twist rustler, John soon built up a
larger trade thun his narrow quar-
ters would stand, and he commenc,
cd spreadiug out until he now occu-
pies many square feet Of work room.
Recently he added coda makingitO
bis lReT bottlinR works, and ne has
srnoprd the trade In that line Of
goods, making an excellent article
andlputting itOn the market at fig
uFcs that prohibits opposition. No
licing that a vast amOunt Of mineral
water Il absorbed in the city from
day 10 day, by those who pass on the
rosy, Mr.. Todd came TO the wise con-
elusion that II the proper article was
imported and put up here he could
create a run on that light drink.
Suiting the action to the thought, he
purchased the necessary bottling ma
ehluery, which Is now In place and
working daily like charm, and Sc
cured the ageney for the Justly cele-
brated sllurlan spring wnter from
Waukesha, via, which is Prounonc-
ed by the best judges In the world to
Be the leading and most healthful
mineral water In existence. The
water is shipped to this city In bar
rels and Mr.. Todd has II bottled for
the trade. Besides possessing mar
velous curative powers, especially In
liver and kidney complaints, the-Si-
luriaU spring water Is pleasant to the
taste and Is far superior In every
way to that dispensed over the bur,
We believe that Mr.. Todd has hit
the nail on the head by introducing
this water out west, and his enter
prise deserves the reward that most
surely will follow. The time will
come when no other kind Of mineral
water will be called for, not only on
account Of It's taste but also Its eura-
tixe properties, which has made for
II a world wide reputation.

Alpha to the Cheney Tribune Is anx-
ious to learn whether the application
made to congress some two years
ago for a charter to build railroad
from this city to the Coeur d'AIene
mines was a bona .Jfde enterprise, or
merely booming speculation. It IS
the presumption that the writer
pauses for an answer, or no would
not have applied through print for
information. White not a party to
the transaction yet from Qpr limited
knOEledge Of the Circumstances con-
need with the prayer for a charter
and the granting Of the same by
congress VIC have every reason to
believe that the motives prompting
the gentlemen interested In that ac-
tIon were lnstigated purely through
an transformation that sucha road
was a public necessity, and we fur
thermore have ample cause to be-
lieVe that Ut the time the charter
was gunted those directly connect.
ed with the scheme thought that the
favorable action Of congress on the
proposition would Immediately be
followed by the construction Of the
line. It must be remembered that
at tn It time the COeur d'Alene gold
excitement was at the very zenith
Of the boom. The crazy idea pre-
vailed that even the crust Of the
snow wou1d prospect "cOlor," and
the tremendous travel then lnaugur-
,.t,,d would continue unbrOken for an
indefinite period Of time. Partak-
ing sOneW hat Of the prevailing fever
the suppOsitiOn existed that no
sooner Wus charter secured for
building II railrOad into the newly
discovered Dorado than the Origi-
natOrs Of the project would be
compelled to arm and bar
ricHde themselves in their offices to
keep OF the horde Of anxious CAPT
talists who would swarm down and
persistently insist, even to the point
Of Iorce, on being permitted to
take hold Of and construct the new
road. But capital was charry Of the
enterprise and failed to swarm. On
the contrary the original boom
proved a boomerang. and those who
locked upon the undertaking In Its
incipiency with fostering eye, all
at once grew blind to Its merits and
refused to chip in the necessary coin
Of the value with which1to make
good the spirit and letter Of the
charter So the very promising pro-
iect was nIpPed In the bud and the
road sWg exists In the document
that MAS presented to congress and
fHthered by Senator Dolph. InOrder
To have been a speculative scheme
that would have had mecurial af-
fect on town lots 1t was absolutely
necessary that something more tam
gible than an act Of congress should
meet the eye ~ the sucker, to induce
him TO Invest In real estate on the
conjecture that such a road would
enhance its value tifty per cent. No,
Mr., Alpha, the road WAS not sug-
gested solely for the purpose Of bol-
sterlng up corner lots, although we
have every reason to believe that
had the project been carried out Il
would have greatly enhanced the
value Of town property. The
original intention was good, but the
execution turned out a nnk ailure.
For the benefit Of the writer, who
wants IN know what has become Of
It, we can say that the charter is
stiH carefully preserved, and may
some day be put to good use.

a Curious ASSAULT,

Those rechaufes of books and reports of
vsrious societies about the social evils OF 4
;uvenie kind that the Pail Mall Gazette
chooses to call revelations" have obtained
no Importance or attention among the
higher classes of London but have been
eagerly read by the lower, vicious and
criminal classes. Some of these have had
"PaU Mall on the BRAIN A curious hallu-
cination hereon has just come into court
before Magistrate Bushby, at the Police
Chambers.
The prosecutor was mildly inoflensive
clerical looking person named Samuel God
frey, living near ,Bethnal Green Museum,
who. in the witness box, beamed with a
black eye upon his little daughter standing
beside him, upon the officials and especially
upon the prisoner, named William Bruley.
The latter, with some appropriateness under
the circumstances of having given black
eve, declared his business to be that of
decorator. lie admitted that he had i'm
bued what he called his mind with penny
readings from the Pail Mall, and, answer
ing the charge of assault, explained that he
believed complainant, with the little girl
now present, from his curious actions in
LnOrOuSQldTSS, was iufCiShuS hSt "ioiA .'h
improper object, and charging him there
with in the Street innocently raised great
crowd, who talked of lynching the COM
plainant.
The latter, becoming excited, as the child
was his own, talked recklessly, and the
prisoner supposing himself to be engaged
in the work of moral missionary in the
absence of parliamentary justice, knocked
the wicked inveigler down, amid the cheers
of the crowd forming an impromptu jury.
eyes, heard him, Your Worship, say
that the little girl was his daughter, but we
thought he was filing u.s."
Fora moment the court room was the scene
of comic tragedy when comparing the
whimsicality of the blunder with the look OF
indignation of the complainant, heightened
by his injured eye.
The inquiry developed that the latter was
a highly proper tradesman and religious
parent, who was showing his daughter the
sights of the metropolis, and the prisoner
was a blue ribbon Salvation reformer. The
magistrate, with face in which humor
struggled with dignity, concluded that zeal.
fired by romantic newspaper, must be deb.
tied 100 shillings fine, to be handed over to
the complainant, who then left vowing
that he would also bring civil action, and
the prisoner, borrowing IS from friend,
seemed internally vowing never again to
read the newspaper that sought notoriety
through advertising sensations.

HoRsEWHIPPING A SERVANT GIRL
When the wife of Stewart Kline, near Mil
ler's Tavern, on the Blue Mountains, in the
vicinity of Lebanon, Pa, returned from the
village store she heard the baby up stairs
yelling, and the servant girl, Sarah Linke,
was found in her room with the door locked.
The girl refused TO open the door, so stall
wart Mrs. Kline broke it in and demanded
to know the cause of the young woman's
apparently insane action. Miss Linke at
first refused to tell, but upon being COM
PEELED said that she had taken refuge in her
room to escape the assault of Farmer Kline
during his wife's absence Mrs. Kline went
to the field in alarm and accused her hus-
band of outrageous conduct
He denied the charge, rushed home, seized
a heavy horsewhip and holding the girl by
the wrist whipped her across the back and
shoulders until her flesh quivered and she
sank to her knees pleading for mercy. She
finally confessed she had told an untruth,
Whereupon her clothing was packed in a
bundle and she was compelled to walk ten
miles at night across the mountains to her
fathers home The farmer had ample proof
that he had not left the field all the after
noon, and that the young woman's charges
were malicious and false. Her father brought
suit for assault and battery and for criminal
assault, as his daughter had not informed
him of her confession.
The Justice heard the evidence, acquitted
the farmer and discharged him and put all
the costs on the girls father. Subsequently
the young woman, who is a good looking
brunette, admitted that she had lied that
as soon as Mrs. Kline left home she went up
stairs and fell asleep, and because her work
had been neglected for three hours in con-
sequence she concocted the lie. The young
woman has left for parts unknown.
