ANXIOUS FRIENDS

The difficulty ofobtaining definite
information added tremendously to
the excitement and apprehension of
the people in Pittsburg, who had rel
atives and friends at the scene
Of the disaster Members of the
South Fork Club, and among them
some of the most eminent men in the
Pittsburg financial and mercantile
world, were in or near Jobnstown,
and several of them were accempa
MED by their wives and their fami-
lies. There happened to be also
quite number of residents of Johns
town in Pittsburg, and when the
news of the horror was confirmed
and the railroad bulletined the fact
that no trains would go east to night
the scene at the Union Depot was
profoundly pathetic and exciting
But two trains were sent out by the
Pennsylvania road from the Union
Station ut Pittshurg and the first of
these was the special train of the
Associated Press. The Pittsburg
papers also sent out specials, but up
to 1920 nothing reliable as to the
details of loss Of life or property had
been ascertained The difficulty in
sending press dispatches was over
come by an expedient familiar to the
Associated Press in trying times.

THE TERRIBLE TORRENT.

The course of the torrent from the
broken dam at the foot of the lake
to Johnstown is almost eighteen
miles, and with the exception of at
one point the water passed through
a narrow V shaped valley Four
miles below the dam lay the town of
South Fork, where South Fork itself
emptied into the Conemaugh river.
The town contained about 1000 in
habitants. 1t has not been heard
from, but it is said that four-fifths
of it have been swept away. Four
miles farther down on the Cone
maugh river, which runs parallel
with the main line of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad was the town of Mineral
Point. 1t had 500 inhabitants
ninety per cent of the houses were
on fiat and close to the river. 1t
seems impossible at this time to hope
that any of them have escaped.
Six miles further down was the
town of Conemaugh and here alone
was Typographical possibility for
the spreading of the food and the
breaking of its force. 1t contained
$500 inhabitants and must be al
most wholly devastated
Woodvale with 1000 people lay a
nile below Conemaugh on the fiat,
and one mile farther down were
Johnstown and it's cluster of sister
towns, Cambria City, Conemaugh

population of about thirty thousand

Though nearly he period of a
generation has passed since the end
of the civil war Memorial Day was
as widely observed this year as ever
before. But noticeable feature in
all the observances is the absence
of every sign of bitterness or linger-
ing animosity between the sections
that were divided in that cruel strife,
but now are reunited wholly under
the one well-loved flag. This is the
final triumph of the heroes who shed
their blood that the nation might
not be sundered.
The Pittsburg Post remarks: Be
fore the Sugar Trust was organized
the countrys export trade in refined
sugars had risen to more than $10,
100000 a year, in spite Of the compe-
tition Of the beet root product of
Europe But the sugar reiiners saw
that more could be gained by com
bining against American consumers
behind tariff, and as a result the ex-
port trade in refined sugars has been
destroyed. While refined sugars
cannot come in over the tariff wall,
the Trust has forced the price so
high that none can 90 out

EVERY paper in Idaho has an
nouneed its choice for Governor, and
now the WORLD proposes to have its
say. Boise county has man just
fitted for that position, who is thor
ough American, patriotic, man OF
ripe years aud experience, a lawyer,
and man whose voice on all occa-
sions has been for the free institu
tions of America, and for America,
e first, last and all the time,' as
against any foreign government; he
is thorough Republican, a pioneer
Idahoan, and has always taken deep
interest in the welfare of the "Gem
of the Mountains" He is a man OF
an even disposition, above all petty
spitefulness that is a characteristic OF
too many public men, is cool headed,
fair and impartial in all public acts,
we'll qualified in every way, never
tastes intoxicating beverages, and IS IN
every way competent to fill the posi-
ton with dignity aud honor to the
Territory. He is a member OF nc
faction, is not "boss" nor wire
puller, aud if appointed to the posi-
ton would fll it to the satisfaction
of all loyal, fair-minded Idahoans
That man is C. S. Kingsley, OF thi:
place. All the members of the Ter
rltorial Republican Central Commit
tee know Mr.. Kingsley personally
and will endorse all we have said IL
his favor. He has been making NJ
pull whatever for the place, and If he
should be chosen, it will be one O

be in Boise City on the evening train.
Also a telegram from Willis Sweet,
of Moscow, North Idaho, who was
expected with proxies from Latah

could not be present The object of
the meeting was stated by the Chair
man, to the effect that i. was expect
ed of the committee to act together
in recommending candidates for Fed

committee to decide what action, if
any, should be taken. There were a
few appointments that would be va
cant very soon after change in the
administration, although he did not
anticipate the turning out Of Federal
officers, it would be well to make
some recommendations. The ap-
pointment of some Of the officers,
such as Governor, Marshall, Z. S. At
torney, were for the consideration OF
the whole conmittee, but he suppos-
ed local officers would be left to the
committee within their respective To-
calitles. There was considerable dis
cussion as to the policy of making
recommendations at the presen,
meeting, or wait and do so az some
future meeting. Some favored i'm
mediate action and some desired te
postpone action. Members of the
committee had been solicited to rec
ommend candidates, but had declin

act in harmony. No discussion o
candidates for office was entered into
Neither was it determined whethe

Juvenile Drunkards-

One day recently lady Henry Som
erset, a very earnest and eloquent
champion of total abstinence, was in
itiated at Hereford into the Order of
the Rechabites, and in a long speech
spoke out frankly about drinking at
Whitechapel. "a week or two ago,
on a Saturday night" she said, Il was
walking down Whitechapel road, aud
as l went great longing came into
my heart that l could take some OF
the leading men of our land down in
to the midst of that scene. Oh! the
misery, degradation and sin that were
there, all sprlnging from the feet OF
this awful drink traffic, which faunts
its brazeu head in undisguised iniqui-
ty on all sides, house after house w
ing with each other in leading men
aud women into deeper sin. How
they make downfall easier aud more
certain, Not coutented with the or
dinary public house, they have now
invented a new methsd-that of hsy-
ing an archway in the open street,
with only a counter, over which drink
is served to the passer-by, so the pub
lie need open no door they pass. All
those places are served by young
girls. Your hearts would have sick
ened if you could have looked on
those young faces. l say shame on
US as a nation. In America the
amount of drinking is enormous. But
there is all honor to the nation in one
respect; their feeling about children
and young girls does not exist II

born American girl serving as 8 bar

LETTER PROM -THE Bay
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13. 1898.

DAN fRAscrsco, Feb. 13, 1889.
ED. WogLD:-Mr. Paul Buzzini.
OF your city, who has been on tour
OF pleasure and business for the past
three mouths, left for Paris on Thurs
day, the l4th inst, where he has gone
70 visit relatives whom he has not
seen Tor many years. He was given
reception at the residence OF his
nephew, George Buzzini, 81 Ninth
street, the evening before bis depar-
ture, and it was a grand affair. 1t
may not be out of place to say that
on New Years day he was presented
with magnificent gold. headed cane
by his nephew, George Buzzini, a
we'll known business man OF this CITY.
At the presentation there was very
large assemblage of well known citi-
zens--city officials and others who
had known "uncle Paul In the
long ago. A banquet followed and
all went merry as marriage bell.
Mr. Bnzzini, it is understood, has
made some sales of his mines in this
city. He was frequently sought af-
ter by some of the prominent mine
owners of this city, and his ability in
giving his opinion relative to mines
and ore produced on examination
placed him high as an expert. K. P.
Plowman and Robert Williams, two
very genial gentlemen who are here,
recognized as fine mining experts,
were in this city for several weeks
and they were treated most cordially
by all they came in contact with
A big dinner was given to them and
Mr.. Buzzini by several mining men
and "toasts ITO the placers, as we'll as
the quartz, were given with will
The visit of such gentlemen to
Frisco" has no doubt set on foot
big boom for Idaho City in the fu-
ture. Some time ago VIM. Warner
your Auditor and Recorder, visited
this city, and was introduced to the
officials of the city and thoroughly
examined the workings of the Recor.
der's and Auditors Office here, and
no doubt has gained many valuable
points and information which will be
of vast benefit to him, as well as the
citizens of Boise county. He is {

J. B. EMERY tapped the WORLDS
local on the shoulder yesterday and
said: 'Come along with me and III
show you something in the line of
home industry" He led the way and
we brought up at his smoke house,
the fire of which ''never dies out"
1t was literally filled with the finest
kinds of meats. Every week this
meat is taken out, nicely cured, and
the smoke house re6lled. We were
shown through his cellar and took a
view of his tempting lot of newly
smoked hams, beef, etc. Mr.. Emery,
in the language of Thos. Foy, ''has
but few equals and no superiors'
when it comes to curing meats. Try
some of it, and you will pronounce it
the ''boss of ALL" and will be sure to
patromze home industry in this line

A FIRsT-CLAss SUGGESTION



The Springfield Republican nust
have fresh graduate of Harvard on
its staff. 1t saws:
"If General Harrison wants a
Treasury Secretary from the West
in close accord with the silver plank
of the Chicago platform, he should
take William NJ. Stewart, OF Nevada,
the man who moves to amend every
measure in the Senate from private
pension to a tariff bill, by inserting q
provision for the unlimited coinage of
cheap silver dollars for the benefit OF
Nevada mine owners"
How does the Re epublican know
that there are any cheap silver
dollars? If it goes out with anything
that Massachusetts, men raise from
their soil or make in their shops and
tries to buy those silver dollars, it
will find that it requires just as much
as IT would have required in 1873,
when those scheap" dollars com
manded premium over gold. Ii,
however, the attempt is made with
any of those things to buy gold
dollar, it will be found that it will
require 30 per cent more than it did
when silver commanded Its premium
over gold. The sensible conclusion
is, then, that silver dollars have not
become acheap" but that gold dol
lars have become so dear that to COM
pei the men Of the United States to
accept gold as the sole measure of
values and the only legal tender for
debts, is about the most gigantic
robbery of the age. The Repub-
liean's sneer about the Senator'S anx-
iety to benefit Nevada mine owners,
happens to have no point The
product of the chief mines of Nevada
is A per cent gold to 56 per cent
silver, so with the premium on gold
and the reduced cost of supplies anc
labor because of the demonetizatior
of silver, the Nevada miner make
about as much as he loses. But hov
about the men who till the fields ant
handle the machinery OF Massachu
sets? They are giving up thirt,
per cent of their products to the own
ers of fixed capital for no reason il
the world except that, by trick
those holders of fixed capital hftee'
years ago worked a bill through Con
gress into a law that, in effect, de
clared that 81 per cent of the none.
of the world-the measure OF value
was mere merchandise. And tn
Republican has steadily defende
that outrage through the years, thong
j through it the farms of the nation ar
t nearly all mortgaged, aud the losse
up TO this time aggregate more tha
: the national debt amounts to.

DEMOCRAT: The appropriations
made by the Legislature will aggre-
gate more than one hundred thousand
dollars. The wagon road connecting
north and south Idaho will cost prob
ably forty-6ve or fifty thousand dol
lars. Fifteen thousand were appro-
priated for improvements on the IN
sane asylum, and about the same
sum for improving the capitol build
ing grounds. The university fund
law, we believe, calls for levy OF two
cents on each one hundred dollars
which will amount to no inconsidera
BILE sum. All told the appropriations
were very liberal.
