Prof. Fred Sellick is now in charge of
the Episcopal mission at Couer d'Alene
City, Idaho. He has evidently got a con-
tract on his hand judging from the way
he writes to the church paper. He says:
THE bishop has sent me here to start
the work. to raise money and to prepare
the way for a priest. IT'S going to be
uphill work here raising money. for times
are very dull and four denominations are
ahead of us in the town and have been
bleeding the small population of 800 peo-
pie. The Presbyterians have a very nice
church building, as have the Roman
Catholics and the Methodists have the
foundation for a church building laid; but
nil desperadum must be our motto"

STORY.
Claims that He is a Deeply Injured
Man.

John W. Hunter tells a very dltferen
story from that of his wife cited IN he
petition for divorce. He says that b,
never threatened to kill her nor did h
ever pull a gun on her. While talking o
the matter last night Hunter was very
much sgitated and almost In tears. 81
have followed my mother and three
children to the grave" he said, but |
have never had anything to hurt me like
this" Hunter says he has always placed
implicit confidence in his wife and knew
nothing Of the divorce proceedings until
about the 5th OF this month. He says
that his wife was in Laramie at the time
when she alleges he threatened to shoot
her. After her return she seemed to give
him the cold shoulder and he is sure that
a third party, a man, is at the bottom of
all his trouble. He does not accuse his
wife of infidelity, however, and said: Il
love her now God knows, more than
everything else in the world, and have al
ways tried to make life pleasant for her"
Hunter has lived in this part of the
for fifteen years. For several
years he worked for X. s. Van Tassell
and for the last four years has been a
Union Pacific brakeman. He does not
drink or gamble and says he always
turned his earnings over to his wife and
asked no questions as to what was done
with the money. believing that she would
make the best possible use of it. The
doubly injured man says he does not know
whether he will fight the case or not. II
have nothing to say" said he, except
that l will pay all my own debts and also
all bills cnntracted by nv uifen

Chas. Masten, though out of Chey
enne only one day, located two iron
claims the ore from which he thinks will
average so per cent iron. Mr.. Masten
would not say where the locations were
made but said it was not over thirty miles
from Cheyenne and only a mile or so from
the Cheyenne & Northern track. He
says that several years e a Black Hills
man discovered north OF here what was
supposed to be gold placers. When an
effort was made to work the ground, how
ever, it was found to contain small
particles of iron in large quantities.
Masten says the particles of iron were
mixed with clay which forms a natural
fiux for smelling purposes. He says there
are millions Of tons of the stuff. 1t Is in

Strengthened up.

said, but if you will just take three lifts

1t is understood that the l.. & N.
company intend very soon construct
ing a new bridge on Madison street
over the railroad. The LEAF,
CHRONICLE has expressed its vie As
in regard to the character of bridge
needed at this place and now we will
call the attention of the city author
tiles to the matter. We have no
doubt that if the railroad authori-
ties are properly approached on the
subject and made acquainted with
the wants of the city that they
will at least widen the bridge
so as to let vehicles pass on
both sides of the street car track, and
also widen the foot.way and board up
the sides of the bridge so that horses
will not be frightened by constant
ly passing trains. GAINESVILLE is a
growing city, and the constant pass
ing over this busy highway finds
people in vehicles, on horseback and
on foot crossing this bridge almost
every minute in the day and up to g
late hour at night. The present
bridge answered the demands very
well when first built, but the city has
outgrown it and needs something
| better.

The Panner,a Mistake.

The Banner miscOnstrues the
LBAF-CHRONICLE'S comments on
the undemOcratic policy of our Dem
ocratic clam governor in drawing
around him political advisers from a
secret political party. We have nc
criticism for the Americans course
in the last campaign that would not
apply with equal force to the es-
teemed Banner. In fact the Ameri-
can pursued the only policy left open
after the nomination that any Demo
cratic journal would, preierring the
election of Democratic clam on q
question that did not affect State is
sues, to force bill Republican. This
paper supported Buchanan after his
nomination by the Democratic con
vention, and would do so again I'M
der the same circumstances and with
the same light before us.
The opposition to Mcdowell and
his sub-treasury clam policy should
have come during the campaign be-
fore the nominating convention.
The Banner at that time was advo-
eating Jere Baxter and the Ameri-
can was pushing Col. Patterson's
claims. Neither recognized Buch-
anan's strength, and both hoping to
draw from the Alliance as soon as
Buchanan was out, they continued
to fight each other, and Buchanan
continued in the race, drawing
strength from all his opponents.
That is the way Buchanan was nom
mated. The fact that our excellent
contemporary bolted and supported
a third party man does not make
the Banner any better Democratic
paper than others who followed the
fortunes of the convention and its
nominee. The LEAF CHRONICLE
with the exception of the Gallatin
papers and one or two others, was
alone in the fight against Mcdowell
and his methods by which Mr.
Buchanan was forced to the front
unknown and undesired on the part
of the Alliance. Had the Banner
American and other papers dropped
men and stood for principles as they
started out, and as did the LEAF.
CHRONICLE in its opposition tC
McDowelPs combination, Buchanan
would not have been nominated
Wedo not say this in a spirit of fault
finding or Fictitious criticism, for we
have no doubt that these journals
were conscientious in their course
but that the press may see that there
is no cause for Tecriminations and
that we may profit by the expert

two years ago my eyes began to fail
me. ] Immediately applied to emil
nent oculists for relief; for eight
months they treated me without a
particle of benefit. Finally, about
three months ago, | went totally blind
and, as last resort, | procured an
Electropoise, which, very much to the
qualification of myself and family, has
restored my sight. 1t has also greatly
benefited my wife and daughter.
My wife has been a subject of paraly-
sis for more than two years, and my
daughter sufferer from infiamatory
rheumatism for more than twelve
year All this has been effec-
ted in the last two months. Too much
cannot be said in praise of the Elec-
tropoise. If | were the possessor OF
the only one in existence, and it could
not be reproduced, the wealth of the
universe could not purchase it. | con-
slider it the grandest invention of the
age.
Truly and gratefully yours,
