Mining Supplement.

Criticism has compelled Governor
Shoup to issue a supplementary
message, relating to mines and
mining, this highly important in
terest having been entirely ignored
in the original message. In this
the Governor states that Idaho has
added $4,000, 900 in precious and
valuable metals to the wealth Of
the world, and the yield of our
mines is rapidly increasing, but the
product for the year is not given.
We are further assured that Idaho
now stands fifth as silver and
sixth as a gold producing state, and
that she will in the next decade.
probably, "head the list of silver
producing states" in all of which
every one familiar with the great
area and richness of our mines will
concur. But statistics proving the
productivity Of our mines should
be, if they are not, obtainable and
should be given out. Such state
ments give plausibility and inhu
ence to even official utterances
which nothing else can. The mes
sage recommends suitable legisla
ton for the protection of our min
ing industries; and the passage O
a memorial, praying Congress tt
pass bill for the free coinage o
silver, and the continuance of the
duty of $3.50 per hundred pounds
on lead imported into the country
The importations of lead for the
year ending June 80, 1890, is statee
at 32,677,34O pounds; silver, S.,
471u 16S; copper, 403,O56 pounds
gold, $62.125.

EPOCH.

The transition from long. lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
makes an epoch in the life of the lndl-
vidual. Such remarkable event is treas
ured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is greatfully blessed. Hence it is
that 80 much is feared in praise OF Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe their
restoration to health, to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of Kidneys,
Liver or Stomach, of long or short stand
ing you will surely find relief by use OF
Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC. and 81 pei

IT seems that a number of county
officers chosen at the October cleo
ton failed to qualify within the time
prescribed and are now, IN the
judgment of high legal authorities,
debarred, and their offices vacant.
We have not heard of any such
hardness in Alturas county; but
but like the Idaho World, think a
too strict adherence to the letter OF
the law in such a case would work
an injustice. Let the dilatories
have their Offices with an admoni-
ton to do better next time. They
are the choice of the voters OF their
respective sections, though slow to
recognize the fact.

the uneasiness of a guilty conscience,
indeed.

swept his eye over the occupants ana a
look of blank dismay settled on his i&oe'
"Thunderation" cried he; lis 1t pos
Sible you have let him SKIP
Gle is there" said |, triumphantly,
pointing to my red-hcaded fellow-pas-
senger.
THAT" said Cathcart, in tone OF
ineffable contempt. "Alf you're a fool.
That man is Rev. John Pennicut, rector
of st. Thomas Church, Cumberwell.
How do you do sir?' shaking hands
with the pic-eater.
As for me, | was looking around for a
convenient llnot-hole to crawl into but
there seemed to be no such thing around
loose.
Cathcart turned upon me tiercely.
"Where in the deuce is Jorlette?" he
exclaimed, savagely. did l not order
you to look SHARPE"
"Yonder reverend gentleman was the
only one on the train in any wise an
swering Jorlettes description" said l.
doggedly.
The guard came up at that moment
and substantiated my statement, ana
Cathcart was obliged to swallow his NOR
tifcation with as good grace as posi-
Bile. His information relative to Jor-
lette's being traveller by the 1880 mail
had come from one of his most reliable
men, but there had been some mistake
somewhere. We were not to pocket the
G2, 900 reward in hurry.
A week afterward | received a letter
written on pink paper, pertumed, ana
elegant generally. | transcribe it;
MY DEAR MIR. DAYTON-Hereby fulfill my
promise of dropping you a line within
week. | am fourishing and hope you are
also. Ny Aunt James prcscntiment ala not

Sorry YOU are not to get the $4,000, but SELF

Well, the secret was out.

derer himself, and Cathcart and l were

This was the wording of the telegram
received one wet, ugly night last De-
cember. was sitting inmy little snug
' gerry back of my Office before blazing
CRATE with my feet in slippers and my
body in warm dressing-gown. | had
a mug of hot punch and cold mince
pie on the table before me, along with
an uncut novel and genuine Havana,
with which intended to regale myself
presently. And although | had very
strong anxiety to secure Jorlette, it
must be confessed that was altogether
too comfortably situated to relish going
out into the cold that dismally dirty
night.
This telegram was from my chief,
who, might as well say, was detect
i've, and | had followed that thankless
and precarious business for several
years. People considered me very sue
cessful in working up difficult cases, but
/ was never quite satisfied with myself.
This same Jorlette had given us n
great deal of trouble. We had never
had so keenly cunning spirit to cope
with. Strategy was matched with STRAIT
egy, diplomacy with diplomacy, and
scores of times, when we were sure of
him, he had slipped from under our fin
gers like a flea and left us wondering
how he managed it.
Perhaps it would be we'll to explain
that Pierre Jorlette was murderer,
upon whose head was set purse of
60. 600 by the crown. A Frenchman and
nobleman by birth, a gentleman by edu-
cation, he had when very young married
a beautiful English girl, with whom he
passed two years of unalloyed happi-
ness At the end of that time some
fearful shadow came between them
none knew of what nature-and the in
human husband stabbed his wife to the
heart Her confidential maid witnessed
the deed and attempted to save the life of
her mistress, but Jorlette fell upon her
with savage ltIONlOl anu lNAN NAAS WV
,rpses lying side by side.
These are the facts as briefly as | can
them to you. OF course, there are
y minor circumstances not worth
,ecording, as they have little bearing
upon the short story am writing
1t seemed from this telegram that
,Jorlette was to be on the 7:30 train. l

For the hundredth time | took Jor-

murderer. 1t was singularly hand
some face that saw-clearly cut, with
large halle eyes shaded by long, dark
lsshes, a mouth delicate and sensitive
as a Romans, high, rather narrow
forehead, half hidden in clustering
4curls of Aburn hair, form rather
spare, yet MI knit, and hand sym
metrical and\ bundled as woman's.

splendidly for Nat of sentimental,
