The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted at the late convention OF
the National Association OF Fire Engi
neers held at Kansas City.
WHEREAS. The present method of
overhead wires. carrying high potential
currents suitable for arc lights, electric
railroads. power. etc, are exceedingly
dangerous, especially 10 fremen when In
the discharge OF their duties. therefore be

ResolDed, That we urge upon all legis>

that the only conceded safe method for
the transmission OF such currents is
underground
Res0iced. That wherever any overhead
method il allowed or tolerated, that every
known precaution should be required by
suitable laws or ordinances.
ResOlced, That the present method OF

and is virtually not insulation.
Resoiced. That the various fire chiefs
throughout the United States should In
no manner jeopardize the lives or limbs
Of the members of their departments, IN
ill they have first assured themselves that
no currents are passing on such overhead
wires. in the imme date proximity of the
fire.
ResOiced, That the most rigid inspec,
ton of wires entering buildings, carrying
high potential currents. should be had by
competent authority. and every precau>
ton taken To prevent any possible con-
tact of such wires with those of tele
phone and fire alarm wires, water or gas
pipes.
Resoiced That we earnestly call upon
all municipal and legislative bodies, and
urge the necessity of suitable legislation
and inspection OF the present dangerous
system Of overhead wires, for the purpose
Of lessening the dangers and evils there
of.
Resolred, That we. the National Asso-
citation of Fire Engineers in convention
assembled. emphatically assert that the
ouly shie U1tlnOu IOT sucn currents Is
underground. and place our most IN
equivocsble condemnation on all over
head or suspended wires, for the reason
OF its great danger of lives rs well as to
property.
Resolped That the secretary be in
structed tO have these resolutions printed
and distributed and the various chiefs to
have the same published from time to
time in their local papers.
Following the above report prof. J..
II. Barrett. Of Chicago, said:
| want to say that in the city Of Chi.
cago we have some 800 or 3.20O arc
lights. Every inch Of the wire connec~
ted with these lamps is underground.
The potentially is as high as g, 500 volts.
and there Is no difficulty in the working
Of the wire underground. The only OBJ
lection is that il costs little more To put
them underground than overhead, and
there they are safe.

To inhale the germs of disease with

Of malaria-scourged localities everywhere.
The endemic atmospheric poison may.
however, be reft of its venom and rem

The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh mus,
be non'irritating, easy OF application,
and one that will reach all the remote
sores and liberated surfaces. The his
tory of the efforts to treat catarrh during
the past obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has met these conditions, and
that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has ever done. and both physicians
and patients freely concede this fact.

Shooting ARRAY.


The particulars of the shooting scrape
at Pennington, in which William Russell
shot David Canty, are as follows:
Russell and companion, a cripple,
were passing through Farmlngton with a
racehorse, bound for Occur d. Alene.
They stopped at that place and entered a
saloon. Russell's friend was intoxicated,
and while drinking at the bar, slipped
and fell. AT this incident, several young
fellows who were seated at table, among
whom was Canty, raised a loud laugh
Canty, being the more obstreperous, was
approached by Russell, who exclaimed ::
"Iou -7, you would laugh at a
cripple, would you," at the same time
drawing a pistol and firing at Canty's
head. The ball entered below the left
temple and passed out below the right
jaw. -s
Russell was Immediately arrested and
has been conveyed to Colfax. The shoot
ing occurred Saturday at noon, and on
the Sunday following Canty died from
the effect of his wound.
Russell narrowly escaped lynching at
Pennington. He claims that the weapon
was accidently discharged.

Reibold from different ledges in the camp
during the past six months and Is estimated
to be of the value of seyenty-tive or eighty
thousand dollars. This is the largest ship
ment ever made from there at one time and
will compare with any from any camp in
Idaho or Washington. Give them an out
let and the opportunities of other places
and you will have the best mining camp of
any in the northwest and will produce more
valuable metals.
Port Townsend argus: Saturday evening
last Joseph Lovely a little son of Henry
Lovely fell oyer board from Bartlett's " hart
and was drowned. He had been playing
around the wharf most of the afternoon
waiting for his father to return from Whid-
by Island, and it is supposed that in the
darkness he missed his footing and went
into the water. When the little fellow did
not come home to his supper his father
went at once to the wharf to look for him
knowing that he usually waited for him
there to meet him on his return from the
island. A search was at once institute
and his body was found back of the Central
hotel. The parents are almost distracted
with grief and fears are entertained regard
ing his fathers reason.
A copy of the Idaho ri-Weekly States
man, of August 2, 1864, more than twenty
five years ago, tells us that beef was retail
ing at that time at l6 and 25 cents per
pound; mutton, 20 and 25; chickens, 81
and 50 so each; butter, 81 per pound; eggs,
Sl.50 per dozen; potatoes, new, 15 cents
per pound; oats. u; Lay, S35 and $40 per
ton; onions, % and 80 cents per pound;
cabbage, Is, and so on. The following
winter, however, the foregoing articles com
manded double the price, and many of them
could not be had at that, and green cotton
wood was scarce at $50 per cord. In the
same number of the Statesman the editor,
Jas. S. Reynolds, acknowledges from John
Mcclellan the receipt of specimens of yellow
flint corn, followed by column setting
forth the productiveness of Boise valley
soil. The law cards of Judge Nj. Kelley
and Eugene Semple, ex-governor of Wash
ington territory, also appear among the ad.
vertisements. Semple had then just got in
from the plains, sprig of a lawyer, full OF
alkali, cussedness, devilment and Democ-
racy; and after taking an active part in the |
political campaign of that fall, came to Oh |

morning OF Congressman Hermann's daugh-
ter, without the consent of her parents.
DIR. Miller had been paying attentions to
the young lady, and on Sunday night asked
the congressman for his daughters hand.
MIR. Hermann declined to give his consent,
not because of personal objections to the
suitor, but because he had outlined a course
of education in the east for the young lady,
and it was his desire that she should under
go it. The statement that DIR. Miller was
removed from the house without cere-
mony" is absurd. Miss Hermann overheard
the conversation between her father and the
doctor, and left her home and stayed that
night at a neighEor's. The next morning
the marriage took place. When Congress
man Hermann heard of it be did not be-
come wrathy as some papas do, but kindly
offered to tender the young couple recep-
ton, and is reported to have said that had
he known that the young people were so
deeply in love he wonid not have denied his
consent.
