 Sides Surprised.

SIu0B SuFpEIb0Us 7"I--
 CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The second great strike of the carpenters this year was a surprise. Of the 5000 members of the craft in this city less than 2,Q00 re- sumed work and by tonight it is ex- expected that most Of those will have joined the strikers. .z
 The strike is much more general than had been anticipated by either of the employing associations, and far more unanimous than the promoters of it had hoped for.
 The men demand the eight-hour day, All cents an hour and arbitration of all disputes. The strike differs from the one inaugurated last May in that any contractor that comedies the terms demanded will be furnished men by the Carpenters Council.

LOANS PAYABLE IN INSTALLMENTS
 A shareholder in the Mercantile Co., operative Bank may borrow in install ments. If he does not own real estate suf- ficient to pledge the loan, and owns lot, wishing to build upon it he can take shares and apply for loan, drawing ithe loan as his building progresses. For instance, suppose that man holds , shares, he is entitled to apply for loan of $1 LOGO, as the maturity value of his shares is $1 ,000. If he owns lot worth say $400, and wishes to build home upon it for say $1 ,000, he can apply for loan of $1 ,000, and will get $500 as the first in stallment on his $400 lot. With that $500 he can commence building, and on the ex penditure of that amount, his lot will be worth S700 and he can borrow another in- stallment on furnishing the bank a certi- ficate from the architect, builder or con tractor of such expenditure, and so from time to time, as the building progresses he can draw his installments, as he needs them, so that on the completion of the building, he will have his full $1 ,000 loan, and the bank will have first mort gage on the property, which will then be worth S1 400, and ample security for the money borrowed.

THE STAR MIZAR.
The Interesting Discovery Recently
Made by Professor Pickering.
Scientific Americanl

SclentiHc AInerican.
Every observer OF the heavens, who
knows by name somo of the brightest
stars, is familiar with the constellation
called the Great Dipper, visible in tho
northern sky through the whole night
and throughout the year. 1t consists of
seven stars, four in the bowl and three
in the handle. An interesting discovery
has recently been made by Professor
Pickering, of the Harvard University
observatory, concerning one of the stars
OF this beautiful group. Mizar Is the
name OF the star. Ii is the middle star
In the handle. is of the second magni-
tude, and has attracted much attention
ever since men began TO study
the stars, because even to the
naked eye it is double. 1t has a COM
panion, Alcor plainly visible to OBJ
servers endowed with good visual power.
Alcor is of the nth magnitude, and is
about IL minutes distant from Mizar.
The tiny star seems to be growing
brighter, for the Arabians considered it
a severe naked eye test, and IL is now
comparatively easy to detect. The
telescope shows plainly that Mizar is
double star, its components being OF the
third and fifth magnitudes, the one a
brilliant white, the other pale emerald.
The marvellous discovery Is now made
that the larger star of the pair is also
double, the two stars that compose it be
ing SO close together that the
telescope can not separate them. The
spectrum of star, like the solar spec
trum, consists of the seven primary
colors, crossed by dark lines. These
lines form kind of astronomical alpha
bet Ii tho star is coming toward us,
they shift toward the violet end of the
spectrum. If the lstar is receding.
they shift toward the red end. Two
stars near together, having the same
spectrum, can not be distinguished from
single star as long as they are at rest.
If they revolve round zach other in q
plane inclined to the line of sight
tho lines of their spcctra will
be single when the stars are
in conjunction, and double when they
are at eongation. This is the case with
Mizar and the doubling occurs at inter-
walls of iity-two days. Professor Picker
ing therefore, infers that these two stars
are immense suns revolving round each
other. lie estimates that the period of
revolution of each sun about the COM
mon center of gravity is l04 days, and
that the maximum velocity Is 100 miles
n second. These conclusions are the re-
suit OF measurements of almost incon-
ceivable delicacy.

THROUGH THE BODY
Another Case of Didn't Know It
Was Loaded" and Its Proba-
BILE Result.
E. G.. Marsten, Rancher Living
Near Trent, Accidentally Shoots
His Hired Man.

A sad accident occurred Sunday
evening about p. M. at the ranch
of Mr.. Il. G.. Marston, near Trent,
which Is likely to result In the death
Of IL man named Peter Brodkorb,
who was employed by Mr.. Marston.
Brodkorb was exhibiting n new
automatic revolver, which was
loaded. He handed 1t to Mr.,
Marston, who in handling 1t, not
knowing that it was loaded, acci-
dentally touched the trigger, dis
charging the weapon. The ball
entered Brodkorb's left side between
the seventh and eighth ribs, near
the medium line, passing clear
through the body and coming out of
the back, about four inches from
the spinal colum.
DR.. j. NJ. Semple of this city, was
at once summoned and brought
the man to the Sacred Heart hospi-
tai, where he now lies in Il serious
condition. Mr.. Marston Is nearly
heartbroken over the affair, and Is
doing all in his power for the COM
fort of the patient. The latter Is
very anxious to have the public
know that 1t was an accident pure
and simple and that he attaches no
blame to Mr. Marston.

INDIAN INSPECTOR.
Robert T.. Gardner Has Boon in
tho Service Eleven
Years.
Tae Census Gives 3,O1o Indians
In the Colville Agency,
This State.

Robert Il. Gardner, United States
Indian inspector, arrived I'm the city
over the Spokane Falls Il Northern
railway Monday. Mr.. Gardner is
n man perhaps 80 years Of age, but
strong and hearty as man Of
twenty. He wears full beard,
tinged with gray, and bears strllx-
Ing resemblance TO the late General
Grant about ten years before his
death. Mr.. Gardner has been an
Indian inspector for eleven years,
and as such has had an opportunity
to make careful study of the rcd
man.
IL has been his observation that
the Indian, given an opportunity to
get an education and afterward
given n chance apply 1t, turns out to
be "A useful member of society, quito
as often as n white man.
1.-THE great trouble is," he says,
"that an Indian after being given
an education by the government Is
sent back to his tribe, where his
father and mother, and all his rela.
tlves make fun of him. First he
drops the whitcman's hat, then one
after another all the outer habili-
ments, ana finally takes up the
blanket again.
Several years ago, while Mt Fort
Berthold, young Poplar Creek
buck came to see me, all decked out
in his war paint and feathers. There
was something about the fellow that
| thought recognized. had seen
him as "a boy at the Indian school
four years before. He would not
talk, except through an interpreter,
until mt last / said:
"'Hcre you, George Henry, L
know you, now talk English
''He was surprised into acknowl-
edging the corn and when / asked
things, meaning his blanket, etc,
he said that he could get nothing
else to do and had to go back to the
tribe. He was good sign painter,
and L managed to get him work,
and now he had n good home and
looks like u white man."
Mr. Gardner has just came from
tho Colvllle reservation. where he

There has been some mistake as to
the size of the C@ur d. Alene reserve,
which contains sos, 500 acres, $50, 900
acres Of which are to be cut off.
The census has been taken in spite
of the difficulties attendant on the
undertaking, because of the peculiar
ly secretive, uncommunicative dis
position of the Indian. The popula-
ton Of the Colville agency is 3,O0l,
subdivided as follows: Columbias,
Moses band, 443; Colvilles, 2i7;
Joseph's Nez Perces, las; Okanogan,
374; Sanpoels, 367; Lakes, 305; Spo-
kanes, middle and lower, All; Spc-
kanes, upper, 40; Caiispels, 200;
Cnur d. 'Alenes, 422.
In reply to the question as to the
dying out of the race. Mr.. Graham
said that some tribes were on the in
crease, other abouts holding their
own, and many others actually
dying out. Chief Joscph's Nez

Two More Cinnamon Convicted of
Trespassing on United States Soil.
Two Cinnamon, Tang Mung and

urday near Marcus by Inspector
Thomas l.. Savage, on u charge of
violating the Chinese restriction
act.
They were brought to this city by
Inspector Savage, and were tried

ing that he was from San Francisco,
but finally was induced to show his
papers, which proved him to be from
Vancouver, B. c., and accordingly
he was remanded back into that
province.
HON Hung was also found guilty
as charged, and an order was made
that he be returned to China.

Mr.. GEORGE w. BAILEY writes from

returns OF the state by counties, and in
said returns credit Asotin county with
only LOSS inhabitants. The official re-
turns show that we have population of
1885. You have. therefore, given us

ter. We are not as sensitive as Tacoma

DoEs ii ever occur to the reader that
our language is utterly destitute of n
word that tells in itself that man is a
citizen of the United States? We are
Americans. That is true. but SO are
Canadians, and so are Mexicans, and so
is every other inhabitant of the Ameri-
can continent, North and South. We
say that man is u Missourian, Vir-
ginian, q Turnerite-only few of the
latter-but in order to convey the i'm
preston that he is a citizen of the United
States We have to employ q roundabout
method. Tho nearest approach we have
to national term Is in the word
yankee" That may bo agreeable to
our transcontinental friends from New
England, bat is hardly suited to the
Wcsterner who was never east of the

such that we shall probably be COM

The special census agent sent to
Alaska to take the census of that terri
tory has encountered delays and difficult
ties that will retard his reports for some
time. AS the natives are suffering from
la grippe, which was little slow in
getting into the interior but is there at
last with both feet, he found 1t impos-
sible to hire men to navigate him around
in canoes. 1t is safe to say there will be
no recount in Alaska.
