months in the case OF John j. Cornelison,
Of Mount Sterling. Cornelison's physl-

FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH.
A Farmers Indulgence In the Flowing
Bowl Has Terrible Effect.

bowl Has TerrlDie EHect.
LINCOLN, NEB., Oct. IA special to the
y ate Journal says that a family named
Richter, farmers living between Geneva
and Ohiowa, consisting Of the husband and
wife and five children, were all burned to
death with the exception of the husband,
who was so seriously burned that he will
probably die at their home last night A
tramp who was spending the night
with them was also burned to death. The
origin Of the fire is unknown, but the sup
position is, that it is another tribute at
whisky's shrine. The tramp had been
around the neighborhood for some time,
and that day was drunk. Mr.. Richter had
also been drinking, and it is supposed that
the farmer may have gone to sleep while
smoking, and the fire thus originated. 1t
was not discovered until the house, with
its inmates and entire contents was en-
tirely consumed.

Tulare County, CAL, he came upon an
enormous tree OF the sequola species,
which he believes to be the largest on
the continent. The party had no rule
with them, but one Of them measured
the giant with his rife, which is four
feet in length. He found it to be forty
four lengths of his gun in circumfer-
ence at a point above the ground MS

MALAD QDAHo) ENTERPRISE: Reg
istration was begun In this city last
Saturday, and considerable excite
ment prevailed. The Mormons were
much agitated because, as they
claimed, the registrar refused to reg
lister them. In their excitement they
did that which irate people generally
do-commenced heaplng abuse on
the visible and immediate cause of
their ire, stopping not moment to
consider the unreasonableness of such
a course. Any Mormon who will
look at the matter from an unpreju-
diced standpoint is bound to conclude
that the registrars are as innocent of
any intention to wrong the Mormons
as they are themselves. Here is the
situation: Nine officers are appoint
ed to perform registration duties, in
the execution of which the question
arises, are they to register avowed
Mormons? The registrars do not
wish to assume the responsibility of
deciding the question, which to them
is doubtful one. Thereupon they
apply to the District Attorney for ad-
vice, and in accordance with his du-
ty (Sec. 2052, Revised Statutes) he
issues advisory instructions, together
with his Interpretation of the law, and
it is left with them either to follow
such instructions or assume the grave
responsibility of deciding a doubtful
question directly contrary to the adj
vice of their proper and authorized
adviser.

the agony, and it was long time be-
fore we sufficiently recovered to
know which one of the boys we were,
and to recognize ourselves in the
glass. Memory, in reverting back to
that heated time, can yet feel the
keen, hot anguish of that never-to-
bo-forgottcn scene of innocent, suffer
ing childhood. We still have an un-
controllable fear OF that gorgeous
little bird with the yellow striped
jacket. We formed a personal ac-
quaintance with him then and there
that can never be obliterated from
the biographical records on memory's
tablets. 1t was striking acquaint-
ance, widespread, warm and deep.
1t is written as deep as the vision of
the thunder storm described by Geo.
D. Prentice, which, when its roaring
was stilled and the lightning ceased
its lurid glare, left the youthful COM
panion of his bosom a corpse by his
side, and in after years led him to
write that beautiful prose poem enti-
tied, "Why Am Afraid of Light
ning," the most touching literary gem
ever penned. If we cannot thrill the
whole world and gain lasting fame
by picturing in burning words that
eventful scene in that famous land
of the Webfeet away back in the
budding innocence of childhood, as
did Prentice with the storm picture,
that memory of the painful difficulty
with the yellow jacket swarm is just
as imperlshable and vivid as was
George DIS memory of that fatal
storm that made him forever afraid
of the thunder's roar and red light
ning's glare. Although we cannot
paint word picture as could the i'm
mortal Prentice, as we endeavor to
describe "Why l Am Afraid of the
Little Bird with the Beautiful Golden
Yellow Stripes and Burning Tail, -"
the undying memory of the agony of
that ballny evening when we pulled
the plug from the earthly home of
that myriad throng, is just as grand,
imperishable and thrilling so far as
we are personally concerned, as was
Georges memory of that thunder
storm that was made immortal by his
gifted pen.

A DECLINATlON.

10 Me Chairman and members of the
democratic Central Committee of Boise
County--MY DEAR SIRs AND FRIENDS:
TO be consistent, and in harmony
with written instructions to members
OF the late Democratic Convention
and verbal wishes expressed, I am
impelled by sense Of duty to nv.
self and others to beg the privilege
OF non-acceptance of the proffered
honor, viz: The nomination so kind.
ly rendered, of Joint Councilman for
the counties of Boise and Ada.
With abundant material right at
hand, willing and anxious, you will,
am sure, have but little trouble IN
selecting a runner for the fall races
who will, under the spur of laudable
ambition and thorough fitness, dis
tance the whole field.
Private and increasing business
here and outside the Territory, re-
quire my personal attention and let
me be frank, as usual, with you. A
pardonanle desire to take a much
needed rest, if time Chats getting so
short with most of us) can be carved
out of the block of public and private
duties, are the principal reasons for
declining the valued and highly es-
teemed honor.
Have been liz public harness often
enough to fully appreciate run in

Trusting this will be taken in the
spirit intended, l am,
Faithfully yours,

their eyes open little. All labor in
mines is done by kafiirs, a few white
men being employed to spot holes
and blast them, and do necessary tim
bering, which is not much. There
are good many chances for white
men on contracts. As much as four
or five pounds per foot have been
paid for driving drifts here, but
think that from two pounds to two
pounds ten is an average now.
don't think the same kind of ground
IN Idaho would bring over six to eight
dollars for driving. / would be glad
to see some of my old Idaho friends
here, but would not advise any one
to come this far on a speculation.
Wages, really, in Banner to-day and
on these fields don't vary a great deal,
but here men don't work hard and
only five short shifts week.
