Prominent Mines.

frOmtncnt Witness
The town is full of prominent repub-
lcans from all parts of the county.
Notably among these is that white
haired pioneer, jurist and statesman,
Judge William IL. Clagett. His pres
ence here creates much enthusiasm
among the delegates and all republicans
Tor 1t is foregone conclusion that a
legislative ticket will be nominated
which will strongly favor Judge Clagett
for the United States senate. Indeed he
stands without rival tor that position
in this section of Idaho and his strength
is not confined to the Panhandle alone.
This is the second state Judge Clagett
has taken an active part in bringing
into the Union, the state of Nevada be
ing the first lie has many warm sup
porters in Southern Idaho, who recog-
nize in him a representative OF the
whole state and not section. The
sentiment of the convention here to-day
is Enthusiastically in favor of w. III. Clag-
EFT and +. 4. Dubois for United states
enators.

The old Persians, who had many
authors of singular penetration, gave
the world the following proverb:
"There are two men in the world that
are perfectly happy; two men whose
minds may be at rest. The first is the
wholly ignorant man, who is happy be-
cause he thinks he knows everything.
"The second is the really learned man,
who is happy because he knows that
there will always be something for him
to learn
This proverb suggests certain maxims
which were the favorites of Massa-
chusetts clergy now dead, and
which were as follows;
When man knows not, and knows
that he knows not he is fool; shun
him.
When a man knows not and knows
not that he knows not he Ii simple {;
teach him.
When man knows, and knows not
that he knows, he Is asleep; wake him.
When man knows, and knows that
he knows, he is wise; follow him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-The anti-lot-
terry bill was favorably reported in the
senate to-day, with an amendment pro-
vding that newspapers published in
foreign countries shall not be excluded
from the mails under the provisions of
this bill, unless, in the opinion Of the
postmaster general, they are being cir
cuiated for the purpose OF advertising
lottery schemes In viola on of the law.
Accompanying the bill is letter from
the attorney general giving an opinion
upon tho other anti-lottery bills before
the committee. Legislation of this
character that is designed TO exclude lot
terry advertisements from the mail,
says the attorney general, has been
upheld by the courts, and It seems to be-
settled that 1t is competent for congress
to authorize the postmaster general to
refuse the use of the mails to any per-
son engaged in the lottery business"
Ii is generally believed on the repub-
lican side of the senate that u special or
der will be made setting apart Satur-
day next for the consideration Of the

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The conference
committee on the sundry civil bill struck
out the appropriation of $4,000 to pay
the salaries of registers and receivers in
che land Offices which have been created
at this session of congress. Two were in
Washington state, two in Montana and
two in South Dakota. The appropria-
tion was placed in the bill only after the
department of the interior had called the
attention Of congress to the omission
from the original bill. Senator Allison
said, in explanation, that the senators
of the conference believed that the ap-
preparation was necessary, bat that the
house committee insisted that If 1t
should turn out that the fees did not
compensate the officials the difficulty
could be remedied by an appropriation
in the deficiency bill.
This does not please tue men from the
states in terested, or the interior depart
ment, which kicks because its business
can not be kept square with the board.
