The Wild Man OF SbOshOne Falls Ar.
rested.

Jeff. Brandon, the wild man of
Shoshone Falls, was brought up, to-
day, and lodged in Jail at HALEY to
await examination on a charge of
lunacy. Brandon has been living in
a cave near the Falls for years, and is
laboring under the delusion that he
has couple of millions invested in
them, aud that they are his private
property. AS he was not in the way
and, in fact, was rather considered
one of the attractions of the place, he
has not been mulested. But lately
he has become somewhat demonstra
tive If not dangerous, and this in
duced his arrest.

His Manly Reply TO an Unwarranted
AspersiOn Of His Character.
To THE EprroR OF THE TINES
The Bellevue Herald, in noticing
my appointment as Constable, having
gone outside the bounds Of legitimate
criticism, and intimated things which
are false, l deem it but right to my
self, to the community, and the Com
missioners, to state that my record is
as WHITE as my name, and that l
defy anybody to substantiate, or even
make truthful charge against me.
If the editor of the Herald desires to
compare records. l am willing to &C.
commodate him.
For several years before coming
to Idaho, l ran an engine on the
Union Pacific read, but got disabled
and this compelled me to give up my
job. Since then l clerked in music
store in Bellevue, and during the
past year was special officer in that
town. My course in that position,
flatter myself, was satisfactory, since
over three fourths Of the business
men Endorsed my application for
Constable. Among the number was
l.. Young, a thoroughly honorable
gentleman and substantial citizen,
whose principal misfortune is that he
is the father-in- law of the editor OF
the Bellevue Herald.
The Herald man says that ne does
not like me. Well, there is no love
lost between us. If | had deemed
it necessary to get his Endorsement, ]
would probably have taken different
course.
Respectfully submitted,
W. E. WHITE,
Constable of Bellevue Precinct.

N. Y. Engineering and Mining Journal
The use of electric motors on the
street roads of New York seems to
be assured, and the success of the
Lykens Valley Coal Company's cleo
trio locomotive is attracting much
attention among mining men. What
is wanted in the mines is an econo-
mical storage battery motor that can
go where it would be difficult to main
tain conductors. BY some means,
the use of electricity for underground
haula &c is certain to receive a very
wide application in our mines.

the farming interests of the country, and
we heartily endorse the consistent and
patriotic action of the republican repre-
sentatives in congress in opposing its
passage. We condemn the proposition
of the democratic party to place wool on
the free list, and we insist that the duties
,thereon shall be adjusted and main
tanned 30 as to furnish full and adequate
protection to that industry.
The republican party would effect all
needed reduction of the national revenue
by repeating the taxes on tobacco, which
are an arrogance and burden to agricul-
ture, and the tax upon spirits used in
the arts and for mechanical purposes,
and by such revision of the tariff laws as
will tend to check imports of such arti-
cles as are produced by our people, the
production Of which gives employment
to our labor, and release from import
duties those articles Of foreign produc-
ton, except Injuries, the like of which
cannot be produced at home, there shall
still remain larger revenue than is
requisite for the wants of government, Of
internal taxes rather than surrender any
part Of our protective system at the joint
behest Of the whisky ring and agents Of
foreign manufacturers. - Republican

The Department of Labor.

The bill creating a national depart
ment of labor has become law. The
head of the department will be known as
the commissioner of labor, and his sal
airy will be $4,000 year. He is to
hold office for four years. The duties
of the commissioner are to acquire and
diffuse among the people of the United
States information connected with labor
in the most general and comprehensive
sense Of the word, and especially in re-
lation to capital, the hours Of labor,
earnings of working men and women,
and the means OF promoting their ma
terial, social, intellectual and moral
prosperity. 1t is especially charged to
ascertain, whenever industrial changes
shall make it essential, the cost of pro-
ducing articles at the time dutiable in
the United States in leading countries
where such articles are produced, under
classification showing the different ele-
ments of cost Of such articles of produc-
ton; to establish system Of reports by
which, at intervals of not less than two
years, he can tell the general condition,
SO far as production is concerned, of the.
leading industries of the country. He
is also to investigate all controversies
and disputes between employers and en-
ployes which may tend to interfere with
the welfare of the people, and report
thereon to congress. The law virtually
expands the present bureau of labor sta,
tistics, which is branch of the interior
department, into division Of the gov

widows Pensions.

The president has approved the act OF
congress providing that the pensions
heretofore or hereafter granted to wild
ows of soldiers of the war of the re-
bellion shall commence at the date of the
death of their husbands. This legisla-
ton affects all claims Of widows OF the
late war, which have been filed in the
pension Office on or after July /, 1880,
and which have been allowed to COM
mence from the date of fling claims, but
will not favorably affect the cases Of
such widows as were fled before July /,
1880, and which have been allowed, pen
sions having already been granted in
those cases from the date of their hls-
bands death. The commissioner Of PEN
sions gives notice that in settlement, un-
der this law, of the claims already al
lowed, no formal application win be re-
quired, and that the services of attorneys
will not be necessary. The widows en-
titled under such law need only write a
letter giving their names, postofIioe adj
dress and certificate number, and the
claims will be allowed with as little de-
lay as practicable. This Legislation was
recommended by General Black il his
last annual report.

LamOille County Court.

The December term opened last week
Tuesday Hon. Homer E. Royce was the
presiding Judge aud his assistants were
Hon. A. M. Kelley and Hon S. A. An
drews. The term was opened by the usual
formalities. Most of the leading members
of the county bar and many of the bar of
other counties were present Judge Mudg-
EFT of Cambridge was made foreman of the
grand jury. In his able charge to the
juries the presiding Judge censured the town
authorities for permitting to be placed on
the jury list the names of men whom they
would be unwilling to have sit on a case of
their own. With one exception all of the
six jury cases were continued or settled,
the exception being II. G.. Fancher Us.

MARTIN-In an obituary notice of Mrs.
Lydia Baker (Poland) Martin, contained
in the WATCHMAN of December >, it was
said " She leaves an invalid husband be-
hind, who awaits with Christian resignation
and patience the reunion just beyond" In
eleven brief days the summons to that blest
reunion came In Montgomery, Vermont,
on Sunday, December o. 1888, Mr. Jefferson
Martin was called to resume his place be-
side the beloved wife with whom he had
pursued life's journey for nearly fifty-three
years. He was, we believe, native of Mont
gomery, and something more than eighty
years of age. His long life was without
stain, for his heart was the repository of
whatsoever things are honest, true, pure,
kind and of good report.

OPIUM AND LIQUOR.

Antoine Pettlna, cook of the bark

smuggling opium, in the Police Court
yesterday afternoon and fined $400.
Messrs. V. V. Ashford and Paul

Deputy Acknowledgement Peterson
and Deputy Marshal Hopkins con-
Quoted the prosecution. The at
torneys for the defense noted an
appeal to the Supreme Court.
Later the appeal was withdrawn,
the fine paid, and the steward de-
parted by his vessel this afternoon.
Antoine most likely found this trip
pretty expensive. -Four hundred
and sixty-two half-pound tins of
opium. at 81 per tin, 5000 lawyers
fees, and $500 fine, amounts to
1884.

SOURCES OF ARTESlAN WAFER
CupplY.

The sedimentary rocks in their
great thickness inclosc a succession
of watersheds or water-levels occu-
plying distinct stages and extending
with uniform characters under whole
countries like the strata to which
they are subordinated. 1t is proper
to remark here that by the term
watershed is not meant real bed
of water lodged in cavity between
solid masses that serve as walls to
it, but water filling the minute in
terstices of the cracks of a rock.
Continuous and regular in sand
these sheets are usually discontinue
Gus and irregular in limestones and
sandstones, in which the water only
occupies more or less spacious ifs
sures.
When natural issues are wanting
human industry is able, by boring,
to make openings down to the sub
terranean waters, which it causes TO
jet up to the surface and sometimes
to a considerable height above. The
thought of undertaking such works
is n very ancient one. The Egyp-
tians had recourse to them forty
centuries ago; and they were exc
cuted in France in 1925 at Artois,
whence the name of artesian wells
has been given to them.
The water levels of the cretaceous
strata, from which the artesian
waters issue, are not always of adj
vantage; but in the north of France
and in Belgium they constitute the
most formidable obstacle which
miners have to encounter in reach
ing the coal beds.
A striking confirmation of the
theory of the source of supply OF
artesian waters has been observed
in Tours, where the water, spoutine
with great velocity from a well lie
meters in depth, brings up, together
with fine sand, fresh-water shell:
