A. J. PENNER, sentenced to the
pen for three years for stealing $3.50
from Holley Oakes, took a roll OF
greenhacks Friday, in presence of
Deputy Sheriff Crofton and Ed Nuby,
and threw them in the stove at the
county Jail, and remarked, while In
the act of tossing the wad in the
stove, as follows: "There! they'll
never get that" 1t is not known
what amount he burned. Nuby OBJ
served that the outside bill was a
twenty. The wad, bank notes, or
greenbacks, was quite large. 1t is
possible that the inside of the wad
was paper, and covered with the
twenty dollar bill. VIM. Warriner,
who has been in jail long time with
Penner, says the latter carried a
wad of currency underneath the col
lar of his oyercoat, the collar having
been sewed down over the roll. There
are different opinions in regard to the
motive that prompted Penner 10 burn
his money. Some think it was roll
of bogus greenbacks, others that it
was stolen money which he feared
would at some future time be the
means of his conviction for another
theft, as was Holly Cakes money
found in his possession. But this is
not reasonable theory. Ifsuch had
been the case he would have burned
the money when no one was obscrs'
ing him. In the trial OF his case ar
effort was made to prove that he hae
money when Holly Oakes' $3.50 dis
appeared, and as such was not clearl,
proven his object in burning tht
money was to show that the s23(
found in his possession (and which
correspondent with the amount Oake
lost, and the denominations being th'
same, as near as Mr.. Cakes could re
member) was not all that he had, ant
to create the impression that he ha'
been robbed of the $3.50, whlc
amount was returned to Oakes b.
the Court, was evidently his objec' ii
remarking: "Therel they'll neve
get that!"

A special from Washington says:
THE prime feature of Mr.. WINDOWS
silver policy, as it wall be set forth in
his report to Congress, is TO stop the
coinage of silver dollars and to issue
certificates against silver bullion. As
subordinate propositions, it is I'M
known whether the Secretary intends
to recommend the issue of certificates
at the coinage value Of silver bars, or
at their market value, whether they
are to be redeemed at the coinage
value of silver; whether the new series
of certificates shall circulate co-ordi-
narilv with the old, or whether the
latter are to be withdrawn.
1t is probable, although not yet
officially confirmed, that Window in
tends to recommend considerable
increase in the monthly purchases of
silver, and to satisfy those who fear a
future increase of deprecated cur
renoy by issuing currency on basis
approximating the market value Of
silver, that Is to say certificate dol
lar shall represent not the silver dol
lar of 412A grains, but quantity oi
silver that would bring 81 in the
market. This would, perhaps, be a
dollar of between Eve aud SIX hun
I'dred grains.

NoTwITHsTANIING reduction OF
the tax levy this year, Assessor and
Tax Collector Calderwood has turned
almost as much money into the coun-
ty treasury for 1889 as was deposited
in that receptacle of county money
for 1888, showing that Boise county
is growing in wealth. There was, as
was expected, quite a falling off this
wear in the number of Territorial
uolls. for the reason that the law now
draws the line of exemption at htty
wears, whereas last year the line was
drawn at sixty years. The number
of residents over fifty and under SIX
ty, who paid Territorial polls last
year, are exempted, under a law ol

Boise county will boom next year,
and g don't forget to remember It,"
No doubts this time. The founda-
tions are already laid for extensive
work next season. Mining activities
have been considerably accelerated
this year, and in 1890 the rumbling
OF stamps and hum of other industries
will astonish the natives, and the old
denizens will rub their eyes to see il
they are asleep and dreaming, and
after being thoroughly convinced that
they are not, will excIaim: "Veriiy,

coming. In fact the front end is al
ready here. The boom is wedge
shaped, the small end coming first, SO
that the shock will not be so sudden

several mines on Elk creek, north Of
town. and presented to Boston capi-
talists favorable report. He aoon
returned and made several purchases,
besides interesting capital II. the Elk
horn, which has yielded SO largely
the past year,
Instead of seying that he caused
capitalists to turn attention to the
Eixhorn ''early in the spring." it
should have read last fall. The ref
erence has caused some to get the
impression that he is interested in the
present operations of the Eikhorn.
He has nothing whatever to do with
the working of that mine or its sale
Some of the properties owned by the
Captains company a,e near the Elk
horn, and he will show before the ex-
piration of another year that that
mine is not the only valuable one on

ed by the Captain is solid one, and
when purchasing mines puts up the

GORpoN,s WONDERFUL POWER.
Instances Of His Remarkable Courage
and Self-Reliance.


What was the secret of his wonder
full power? Much of it lay in his fear
lessness. much in his swiftness OF
thought and action, and much in what
the Yankee would call his capability IN
all things, small as well as great. lie
could ride, and shoot, and tinker, ana
conduct campaigns, and negotiaie
treaties, all with unhesitating self-reii-
ance. AS q matter of course such
man takes command. Gordon never
lacked opportunities to show these
qualities. When steaming quietly up
the Nile a monkey with which he was
playing fell overheard. In a twink
ling Gordon was in the water after
him. BY good luck the crocodiles got
neither Goyernor-General or monkey.
When a nugger was being hauled up
the rapids some way south of Lado the
cable got away from the men on the
bank and the vessel was swept on the
rocks. No one would volunteer to go
out and pick up the cable, and Gordon
Jumped in a skiff and went alone. TO
be sure the skiff upset and the Govern
or-General sat some hours dripping on
a rock, but his men had a lesson. On
another occasion the garrison OF one
of the stations was thrown into much
anxiety by seeing General Gordon
alone, rowing across the river to the
east bank. which in that region was
occupied by intensely hostile negroes.
He landed, made his boat fast, and
tried, by display of beads and wire,
to induce the savages to come and talk
with him. They simply sat on the
hillside and scowled.
Finally Gordon shot hippopotamus
and padded back, leaving the beads
on the shore and a fine feast of hippo
potamus meat in the iushcs. Another
man would have been killed. | was
amused to sec on his table at Khartoum
handsome spoons and forks with his
crest half eflaced by rough scratches.
| could fancy Gordon, vexed by some
unusual fummery, Selling q rat-tail
file and proceeding to put out of his
sight one more vanity. 1t was not that
he was not proud of his family. On
the. contrary, he could pay man no
greater compliment than tosay: "You
are like Gordon;" but all the marks
and signs of rank sometimes became
intolerable to him.-Colonel III. q.

How an Old Soldier Saved His Leg.

Capt. John Quincy Adams, who died
recently at North Vanceboro, Me-,
saved his leg during the war in an
original way. After the battle of
Cedar Mountain, Capt. Adams was
wounded by rebel bullet, which pro-
duced compound comminuted frac-
ture of thigh bone. He was taken
to the hospital, and, when the surgeons
came around, he was "chalkedv for
amputation. After the surgeons had
passed, Adams rubbed out the chalk
mark and thus gained day. When
the surgeons came around again they
decided that his was gone case for
amputation, but Adams thought other
wise, and rubbed out their markings
as before. That night DIR. Garcelon
arrived on the scene, having been sent
ont by Gov. Washburn to look after
Maine wounded, and, to him Adams
appealed in behalf of his shattered
femur. Annputation was deferred,
and the result was that Adams saved
his leg, which served him fairly well
during the remainder of his life.
