Flank Mead,s Family.

Frank Mead was candidate for clerk
OF the court at Minneapolis the last
year he was there. He spent most of
his money III the effort to get the place.
and the hard times coming on about
that time. he was forced to give up his
home. He borrowed little money. and
went out on the prairie opposite Bis
marck and took up claim. He spent
the winter reading books and telling
stories to his wife and children before
the fire, and says it was the manifest
time in his lie. The next spring the
town OF Mandan was located, and his
claim was taken in as an addition. The
place doomed, and he quickly became a
rich man for that country. He still
owns considerable property there. but
the town is as dead as a door nail. and
he is waiting for another boom to come
along Mead's wife is a charming wo.
man, and they have two bright children.
Mrs. Mead has always been de voted to
her husband, and when ill luck overlook

go west and make rev start. She
left her comfortable home there and
went out to the little ''shack'' on the

stormy one, and the surroundings were
anything but cheerful. Frank had not
completed the shack, and as they sal

journalism is the rule, but although it Is
measurably successful the great journals
of France DO not exercise the same IN

Suspected Attempt at burglary.

Between the time of closing the Tenn

hour of opening yesterday morning
some one tempered with the locks of both
doors, knife ends being found inside
them which prevented their working
properly. If an attempt had been made
to enter the premises it failed, but it is
an open question whether this was the
intention or whether the injury was
prompted by malice. There is no clue
as to the identity OF the perpetrator.

OUR STREETS AND ROADS.

1t is hardly fair to hold His Excellency
Mr. Aholo responsible for the disgrace
fll condition of the public streets and
thoroughfares. Nevertheless he must
pay the penalty of greatness and suffer
chastisement for the deiinquencies of
his predecessors. Being Minister of the
Interior he inherits the responsibilities
as well as the honors of the office. If
however there were any indication of
a purpose or disposition to improve upon
past mistakes and neglects we should
not say a word by way OF complaint;
but when, on the contrary, things are
going from bad to worse it is about time
to speak out.
The condition of the streets of the
city prior to yesterdays rain was dis
graceful. They were Uttered in places
with filth and rubbish; during the heavy
rain much of the filth and rubbish were
distributed around, the flood depositing
unsightly and unwholesOme messes be-
fore the premises of citizens, some Of
whom doubtless spent money in clean
ing up the leaves, dust and drift carried
about by the wind, a duty which is per-
formed in every civilized community by
the local authorities. more discredit-
able or in1efensible condition of affairs
it is impossible to imagine, and the
Minister cannot shelter himself behind
the plea that there is no money, when

pressing importance which could very
well afford 20 wait.
The Waikiki road and other lines OF
travel out of the city will very soon be
impossible unless prompt measures are
taken to prevent them becoming mere
guttered trails unsuited for carriage
travel. A great deal of money has been
expended from time to time on the
streets and roads, and common prudence
would suggest that it would be more
economical to conserve the work hereto
fore done as far as possible, than allow il
to wash away and then come upon the
taxpayers for its renewal.
There is nothing in the line of politics

itself. 1t is simply matter of admins
tration. Taxes are paid and public
money voted for specific purpose, anC
the contributors want to know why the
intention of the Legislature has not beer
carried out In their name, we want t.
know the reason why. If the Admins
tration is not wholly blind to the signs
of the times it will accept this reminder
as friendly message. If it will insis
upon combining municipal with nationa
functions it should not wholly neglec
that which is of local for that which ii
of general interest, and we can assure
the Minister of the Interior that he can
not safely afford to proceed upon the
lines heretofore pursued in his depart
ment in the hope that he will fare a
well as those who preceded him, for thu
simple reason that the road crusts hav,
already been worn through in many
places, and that wet season Will leave
him only with unmetalled and guttereC
tracks instead of the well formed road
along which previous Ministers drov,

curity. His Excellency Mr.. Aholo ha
taken the reins precisely at the tim,
when the roads have become unsafe anC
careless driving dangerous.

A Conscientious 1mpressionist at Work


I stumbled on the subject of "Impres-
sionism' one day, as 1 sat chatting with
Lefebyre in his studio in the Rue La
bruyere. 'ImpressiOnism, indeedr' said
the painter. ''Let me tell you an anec-
dote. 1 was staying down at Trouville

IF any of the Idaho City fellows
succeed in getting INTO Yellow Pine
Basin, and come back with good re-
ports, our town will soon be almost
deserted. a good many old timers,

from that kind of uncertain business,
are keeping cool and waiting for re-
liable news, which, if good, will cause
them to pack up and follow the pro-

Mill and Hosting Works Burned.

TIE Gold Hill company's twenty
fve-stamp mill, and hosting works
at this company's mine-the Pioneer
were destroyed by fire last Satur-
day afternoon. The property, we
are informed, was not insured. The
fire caught from the smoke-stack at
the mill, and it was not long before
the she'd or house covering the hoist
ing works was succumbing to the
flames. The men in the mine we're
hoisted to the surface before the
hosting works caught fire. The loss
is variously estimated. Estimates Of
the cost of new machinery, ETC., to
replace the old, are all the way from
$4,000 to 100000. The heavy ma
chinery, it is thought, is not badly
damaged. We have not heard what
the company estimate the loss at, and
it is very probable that they cannot
yet form anything like a correct esti-
mate. The Pioneer mine has been
worked to the depth of one hundred
and forty feet. 1t is good at the
depth of four hundred feet. A cross
cut run from the Gold Hill mine tap
ped it at that depth. The ledge is
about thirty feet through, and all pay
ore. 1t is almost sure thing that
the company, which is strong one
financially, will soon rebuild, even if
the machinery is all SO badly dam
aged as to be not worth putting to-
gether again. The company has a
mine that will justify putting up new
machinery The hosting works al
the Pioneer mine are not what i:
known as the Gold Hill hosting
works, being much lighter than the
latter. Water was turned on the
blacksmith shop and big pile o
wood at the mill, and both wer,
saved.
Alex. Monroe, Basin stage driver
said yesterday that the engines of thu
mill and hosting works were total,
ruined, or believed to be, but tn
boilers are not damaged, or but yer,
little. The ruins were yet so no
when Mr.. Monroe left that they coul'
not make close examination, bu
the engines looked badly worsted
while the boilers did not appear t
be injured. He said one pile of oil
wood-about three hundred cords
was burned. The big pile of ne,
wood was saved.
