news, whether anything happens or not.
Deluded mortalsl Local editors cannot

much like extracting blood from tur-

who grumble ut the lack of local news

whether they could not give the editor

so, let them hold their peace, or grow

THE editor OF the Sonora (Ala-
Sentinel thus asks his readers to come
forward and pay back subscriptions:
1T is sad duty to us to state to the
many readers of this paper that we are
actually in need of a suit of clothes.
We would like to attend preaching, but
remain away because we are ashamed
20 enter the church with the suit that
is worn daily; we go occasionally, but
have TO slip in quietly and take n back
seat, This piece is not written for the
purpose of soliciting some kind friend
10 donate us n suit OF clothes, nor some
free-hearted merchant to sell us a sun
on time; but to arouse the sympathie:
OF those owing us. We have spent the
last dollar in our possession to accom-
modate you; now come to our needy
assistance, and receive the blessing:
that only poor, oppressed newspapel
man can bestow."

About Sea Captains.

a recently returned European tells
the following story of Capt. Cook, the
commander OF the Umbria, now the
fastest Cunarder. The captain was
taking a midday observation while the
sun was somewhat hidden by mist.
AS he was putting down his instru-
ment a passenger said to him: THE
fog prevented you from getting an OBJ
seryation, didn't it, captaln?" at
did not prevent you from making your
observation" said the captain, as he
went toward the chart room. The
anecdote will be appreciated by those
who have crossed the ocean with Capt
Cook. A thorough seaman, attentive
to duty night and day, he is not known
to travellers as a social Captain. There
is a wide difference in these sea dogs in
this respect.

HoLswoRrHY, n village of England,
IS AL excitement over ghostly light
which every night Internationally flashes
across a railway cutting. From dusk
TO midnight the village station Is
thronged with people anxious TO obtain
glimpse of the light. Old stories of
superstition long dormant IN the dis
trict are being revived, and the fact
that three people have been killed near
the spot in the last year or so encour-
ages the belief in the supernatural
character Of the luminous apparition.

BGCYCLGSrs, in their early days, are

anu keep an accurate account OF theiI
road travels. Last year three men, &C
cording TO their reports, covered over
5000 miles each, or distance equival-
eut TO the diameter OF the earth. y
score Of others covered 1900 miles or
more. The higher records represents
more than twenty miles day for every
day in the year, so that the bicyclists
worked pretty hard for their honors.

THE MONARCH NINE.



The topic of the week has been the

lace on Sine-Alilc creek, the buyers be-
ing Stewart Fuller, the retired whole
sale liquor merchant of Murray, and j.
ID. Logan, a brother Of Judge Logan, re-
Gently arrived from West Virginia, The
sum paid was $4,000 in clean cash The
former owners were j. j. johnson, lone
,hird), Ben McElroy (one-sixth), Scott
Mcdonald (one,siXthO Glen Mcdonald
(onc sixth, and Tom Lynch (one-siNthl.
These were also the loCaters, and the
cleanup may be considered very hand
some one. Mr.. Fuller got hand on the
property last fall, and has done consid-
showing when the bond was given, but
II has since been developed into n mag
ni6ceut boSenza, equal to almost amy
other mine on the South Fork. The
ledge in one place Is 100 feet IN width,
and the vein shows large quantities of
ore. Much ofthis ore, II is stated, may
be shipped without concentrating, but a
mill will be necessary tc reduce the large
quantity Of paying rock in sight.
Whether the purchasers propose TO
erect a concentrator cannot be told
at this writing, but IL is quite
probable they will follow in the wake
of other big companies of the camp.
The transfer of this property Is one of
the most important TO Wallace that has
been made, as the mines Contiguity to
the town makes all its business directly
tributary TO II, Besides, nearly all the
former owners are Wallace men, who
will remain here and invest their money
here because they have faith In Wallace
becoming the bonanza capital of the
Cmur d' Alcne, the home of the prosper
Gus miner, and q commercial center. IL
j. quite probable Mr.. Fuller and his
family VIII remove from Murray to Wal
lace.

Rev. Cushing Eclls, d. D., generally

last week. He is now residing with his

Walkers prairie now Is. Here they
laborcd with the Spokane In.
dians for ten years. Disturbances
among the Indian tribes following the
Whitman massacre made II necessary
for the missionaries to leave their field
of lrbor Ia obedience TO military com
mand. They sought refuge In the VIII
lammette valley and Father Eclls taught
in the Pacific University at Forest
Groyo for ten years. He then started
toward the Spokane river again. Reach
ing the Walla Walla valley, he there laid
the foundations of an institution
of learning now known as Whit.
man. college. In no way, did he
think, could his heroic colleague

propriatcly and effectively honorcd
than by establishing and the perpet.
uating an institution of learning near
the spot where he was massacred. 10 this
end he labored hard and sacrificed much
and to the present time he has been
liberal contributor TO the institution,
which is to-day the best equipped In the
territory. Modest and unassuminr. he
has stood to his part as loyal missionary
through all the vicissitlides of a new
country. For twenty years he travelled
periodically from Walla Walla To Col
vile, camping ON the banks Of streams
and preaching to white people and In
dians. In the meantime he has organ
lied many churches and contributed
literally toward the erection of church
odi ilces. Though relying entirely upon
voluntary contributions, his beneiac-
tion toward church building, missionary
enterprises and Whitman college
have aggregated over $4,000. 'fhls

At a meeting of the new proPrictors,

development of the mine. He accord

Marks a. Co. for complete outfit, IN

warded at oncc and they will begin
shipping ore inside of two weeks, The
ore will be shipped 1856 miles by boat

Pacific, and thence by rail to Hcle-

mine to the smeltor win he about $40
