Penalties for Cheating at Cards.

Carmona free and rich man, able to
pursue the great ambitions of his life,
He desired TO become minister from
France to Spain, but that could not be,
as he was Mexican by birth. So he
travelled to Spain and bought the title of
marquis and from there went TO Paris to
live. His hotel is one of the most magni-
ticent, sumptuous mansions in that bril-
liant city There he entertains great peo-
pie in royal manner, taking unbounded
pleasure in showing them unique pieces
offumiture gathered from remote parts
of the globe. He makes great deal of
money in gambling, wasting II on fast

Mexico frequently. One night not long

Suddenly CarmOna noticed clever trick
played by his opponent so without a
word he rose and shot him through the
head, On another occasion, when Car

cheating, and was observed in so doing by
his opponent, who reached over the table,
pinning Carmonas hand to the table
with knife, then departed from the
house, leaving this singular gentleman in
rather painful situation. He will bear

TIE ANNaX ALTON OF NORTE
IDAHO.

For many years the people of North
Idaho Lave asitated tho question Of
annexation of the five Northern counties
of Idaho to Washington Territory. At
, one time it seemed likely that annexation
would be accomplished Both political
parties declared in favor of it. aud the
legislature of the territory adopted .
memorial asking congress to pass an
annexation bill. To plain, ordinary,
common sense sort Of man, this would
have been sufficient. But some how or
some how else, something or somebody
has always been able to intervene, just in
the nick of time, and kill the annexation
project, or rather defeat it for the time
being, for like Banquos ghost it will
not down. AT large mass meeting
held last week at Moscow, the county
scat OF the new county Of Latah, (cut of
from Nez Pcrce, resolutions were unani.
mously adopted iavoring annexation aud
eondcmnlng Congressman Dubois for
failure to keep his promise on that sub.
jaci, made during the campaign. Latah
county and Nez Perco county, which are
10 the Palouse and Clearwater countries,
are practically unit for annexation to
our territory. Idaho county, which is
over the Craig mountains, and includes
within its borders the famous Canas
Prairie, is nearly as unanimous for the
scheme. Kootenai and Shoshone coun-
ties which lie at our very doors, are said
to be divided in sentiment between
Montana, Washington aud Idaho, the
reason given for opposition to annexation
bains,,, that the miners fear hostile legis.
latlon IRON our territory, which they call
farmer or granger territory. Although
this Fear is groundless, yet it operates to
prevent united sentiment in Shoshono
and Kootenai counties in favor Of annex.
atioh. Outside Of this objection Of the
miners and mine owners, the people Of
North Idaho are practically q unit in
faver Of annexation. But they are
juggied out Of their wishes by the poll
ticians. Tho Coeur dAlene mines and
miners have done more to build W
Spokane than all the other causes pu,
together. They are part of US. Any
legislation necessary for their protection
or dsvelopemcnt We would gladly pro
mote aud extend. The people Of North
Idaho have no more connection with
those Of South Idaho, financial comner
cial or social. than they have with tn,

Without the aid Of heterogeneous matter
the mineral matter has scarcely any

shows that tho earth had sufficient

contains a suaiciency Of the mineral

manure plots with nitrogenous substance
only, planting one with corn, and another
with potatoes. The great influence that
phosphate Of lime has On corn, sorghum
and suger cane, and potash on potatoes
and tobacco, is well known; therefore il
the corn aourishes, We may be sure the
ground has enough phosphate Of lime,
and it the potatoes flourish, the land does
not lack potash. Thus, two experiments,
requiring but small area Of ground, aud
trying three different crops, are sufficient
to obtain the indication necessary to ..

SPOEANE'S PET RAILROAD.
The Work Of Grading the neatt,e,
Lake Shore s. Eastern Progressing
Very Favorably.

The Importance to this community of
direct railway communication with Seat
tie conles home with redoubled force to
the thinking residents as they listen to
tho laundering echo Of the blasting on
the line Of the Seattle, Lake Shore &
Eastern and watch the clouds Of smoke
ascend from the scene Of the explosion.
Work is progressing very favorably.
Several hundred men arc engaged on
the grade at various points, within the
limits of the city and q short distance
beyond the boundary line. Though
much difficulty is experienced in the
rock cuts along the mountain sides the
advanced science of railroad construction,
characteristic of the enlightened age in
which we live, speedily becomes n.aster
Of the situation. The road in places
climbs the rugged mountain sides and
passes over its crest. 1t meets the swift.
ly running Spokan at point near
iiaugman and crosses it, The ar-
proaehes to the bridge are now being
graded. Over a hundred men are at
work iu the vicinity where the waters
oi the Haugman and Spokane meet. 1t
is there that the explosion Of giant
powder causes great beds of solid rock to
vomit forth in fragments. Though
somewha. slow and tedious, the procedure
is extremely effective. 1t will not be
many months, however, before the road
is in operation from Spokane to Grand
Coulee. The latter place is the terminus
of Burns & Chapmans contract, and is
distant about forty-fivc miles from the
great city by the falla. When twenty
miles Of the line are completed ten per
cent, Of the stock subscribed by Spokane
(sl75,OOo) will be payable in addition
to tn amount already paid. A large
gang Of men are at work on the north
side between the Howard street bridge
aud the depot site, which is few blocks
mp the river. Spokane derives all the
benefit which arises from this source and
its value is not to be sneezed at

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. AT
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ.
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give You immediate
relief.

sion, long account Of the fishery

that in the course of the next year

have i'll type and ready for printing a

by eye-witnesses of that historic
scene. That will be about as enter
prising as to send THE Historian in

1889 report of the fish commission
of 1880. In this finely printed work,
which is on the desk before us, are
pages upon pages of description of
how they used to catch fish in Massa-
chusetts in 1923, and the Columbia
river salmon fisheries are dismissed
with-32 lines. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that the Cocasset Indians
and the exploits of Massassoit and
how things were done in Maine and
Nova Scotia in the year sixteen hun
dred and fast asleep, should have any
amount of space, but so trivial an in
dustry as that of the Columbia river
salmon fisheries in the year OF our
Lord 1880, only needs 80 lines. The
book is well printed on good paper
and nicely bound, with pretty gilt
letters on the back.
