PATRIOTIC INDICATIONS.

TINS morning, in the columns Of
local contemporary, a somewhat
lengthy interview between a re-
porter and ex-Warden Amos ap-
pears. The burden of it is intended
TO show the reasons for the resigna-
ton Of the prison official. The chief
cause Of grievance on the part of
Captain Amos against the Marshal
appears to have been, according TO
the statement Of the former, that
man named Stark, claimed TO he
disloyal, was retained as guard at
the penitentiaEy. Here is enc OF
the chief evidences of Stark's dis
loyalty, according TO Captain Amos,
as stated in the interview:
"'After the Liberal victory in Salt
Lake City, Stark, who exulted very
mucAapver the victory, got Liberal
badge, which as you know was a little
American flag with ca rpet bag on it.
He CIT or the flag and wore the carpet
bag
Hero the reporter interrupted him
and asked him how he knew Stark cut
offthe flag.
"He said ne knew it simply because
he wore the carpet bag; the flag was
missing. I reported that fact he
continued, to Captain Parsons, at
which he made no remark"
One can understand why, for APP
pearance sake, the ''Liberal'' party.
not wishing to hack down from n !
blunder made at the beginning OF |
thecampaign precedingtheFebruary |
should adhere till the close
Of the contest to its emblem; the
carpet bag-the insignia Of off cial
corruption = over the stars and
stripes. That poor Mr.. Amos or
any other man should, however, in
cold blood, take a declination 10
the gripsack with the
stsAs and stripes as an indication Of
disloyalty is just too funny for any
thing. The emblem Of Official vora-
city is bad enough in Itself, but when
with the flag of the ma
ton, the latter is forced downward
into very bad company.

How the Mississippi Was Made.

AS possible theory Of the origin
Of the Mississippi River, among the
many that have at different times
been brought forward by noted
scientists, the most recent is the
suggestion that its erosion was ac-
complished by means Of mighty
cataract, which began far down the
river, near its original mouth. and
by gradual retrogressing dug out
the valley-like gorge. That tnis
theory is tenable may be inferred
from the high, wall like bluffs
features so characteristic in the up
per part Of its course. a wearing
away Of a monster cataract would,
OF course, necessarily leave high
bluff walls on either side, which are
well known features Of sthe father
of meandering streams" Il would
seem according to this theory that
st. Anthony Falls constitute the
remnant Of what was once themost
stupendous cataract in the world. 1t
is estimated that 1t must have taken
100000 years 10 carve out the
mighty ditch.-S. louis Rep,6ic.

WAR DEBATE - THE RRICHS.
TAG.

AEsIERDAY q significant debate
occurred in the German Reichstag
on a military bill introduced by the
government. For some time past
the press dispatches from Germany
have been unusually free from war
Ike ptima;iOns, and the absence of
matter Of tha. kind from the news
telegrsphed from Berlin has been a
surface indication that since the
retirement Of bismarck, political
matters or the continent have as
sumed a more pacific condition.
But the debate referred 70 IS caIcu-
lated 10 dispel any belief that a
prolonged continuation Of peace can
be relied upon. Old and sagacious
Won Moltke, she greatest living ex.
ponent Of the science Of war, in an
argument Supporting the bill said:

The bull fight Is the latest Parish
an fad, but there is small prospect
that this Spanish diversion will re-
tain its popularity in the French
capital. 1t takes long training to
bring any people to appreciate this
brutal sport. The French have no
relish for brutality, and brutality is
as vital part Of bull fight as of a
prize-ring contest, and the aesthetic
Parisians cannot eliminate it.

NEW YORK, May ia terrible
tragedy occurred in Wall Street this
morning. \ vindictive young man,
Alphonse J. Stephanie, shot and
MORALLY wounded Lawyer Clinton
G. Reynolds, Of the law firm OF Rey-
nolds 4 Co., No. 95Wall Street. The
murderer had been but a few hours
in the city, having arrived on the
steamship Majestic from Liverpool.
The cause OF the tragedy was as
follows: Stephanie's father formerly
carried on a fruit business in this
city. He died two years ago leaving
his wife sole executriX. Alphonse
carried on the business, but convert
ed much of it into cash, depOsiting
$4,000 with the Safe Deposit Com
pany. He quarrelled with ami
assaulted his mother, and two
months ago went 10 Europe.
During his absence his mother
consulted Lawyer Reynolds, who
advised attachments against him
and the safe deposit company. He
probably heard Of this morning.
ON his arrival he ut once went TO
Reynolds office, where he held an
interview with him in an inner
office. Hearing q shot fired, the
occupants Of the outer office rushed
in and found Stephanie standing
over Reynolds with a smoking re-
volver in his hand, and Reynolds
probably MORALLY wounded, with a
bullet just below the heart. StephA-
HE was arrested and Reynolds re-
moved 10 the hospital.

Saturday morning last, about s
o'clock, an assault was made ON The
person Of w. w. Scott, negro, with
intent to commit robbery. Scott has
resided il Boise City but few day 5,
and had bis room in the second story
Of Levy's store on Main street. The
particulars, as near as we could
learns were as follows;
A man by the name Of VIM.
Richison has been loaGng around
town for some time past, thriving by
any means, either fair or foul, to
make livelihood. Other means fail
ing, he concluded to tnrn highway
robber.
Richison, while loafing about Lee
vy's store, noticed Scott make sew
eral purchases, and also noticed that
he had some bills on his person,
which he placed in his left hand
trousers pocket, together with a
small amount of silver. The negro
gathered up his purchases and start
ed for his room, but was stopped on
the way by Richison, who seemed to
want to pick quarrel with him, but
Scott turned away and started once
more for his room.
At this move Richison whipped out
large knife aad made lunge fol
the pocket containing the money
but struck too low, and inflicted q
deep and exceedingly painful wound
in SCOTS leg. Turning to run,
Richison made another slash at him
cutting the clothing, but doing nc
other damage. Scott then made hi.
way to the doctors Office and the
other man skipped out.
