Same Old Game.

Boise Democrat.
The legislature has fixed up that
high license law just about right to
suit all parties. fter it had been
signed by the governor it was dis
covered that it contained a flaw
which makes it wholly imperative.
That is what the republicans want
ed. They can go home to those
who clamored for high license and
say eve got it through all right,
which redeems our pledges, but
from some defect in title it can
never be enforced. To the poor
liquor dealer who could not afford
to pay the high license they can
say :" Well, old man, we stood by
you, after all, by so fixing that IL
cense law as to make it very dead.
We would not have taken hold OF
it had it not been to please some Of
the high license temperance people
and the wealthy whiskey dealers"
And thus has the republican party
always acted in such matters.

How He Works The President.

30 Use Democrat.
The New York Sun says that
Senator Dubois has finally dropped
on the proper way Of working the
president in the matter Of securing
appointments for his friends. It is
well known that Dubois is not in
harmony with the president, 80
that he now pretends bitter hostili-
ty to any one whom he desires to
have nominated. It works to q
charm for Harrison invariably
favors the aspirant by whirling his
name into the senate.

The Might Avalanche.
Rocky Bar Bulletin.
Sunday night about 1890 o'clock
as Foley Abbott and Clarence Mich
olson were proceeding home, and
when opposite the Bulletin Office
they were startled by the rumbling
and crushing sound of the first ava
lanche which came down the noun
tain side south Of town. They hur-
riedly retraced their steps few
rods, and then discovered that the
Chinese wash-house at the rear of
Lawyer McCarty's Office was COM
pletely hid from sight, and they i'm
mediately gave alarm. It was not
long before many willing hands
were at work to rescue the two in
mates of the wash-house. The
Cinnamon had retired for the night
and the one resting in the front
part of the building was fortunately
dashed. through the wreck and
landed in the creek where he was
soon found and rescued. The other
Chinaman was found, after two
hours hard work, wedged in his
bunk and surrounded by timber
which doubtless prevented him from
smothering. He was taken out ap-
parently uninjured but badly fright
ened. The house was carried about
thirty feet from it's foundation and
is q total wreck.
On the point just above the Chi
nese quarters stood log house be-
longing to Jake Ulrich, which had
experienced the blasts of twenty
winters or more-but it is not there
now, and the Bulletin man 10 daily
kindling fires with shingles from its
roof that unceremoniously entered
his woodshed at the rear of the Of
fee. This house was unoccupied.
The slide extended to the lower
end of town but fortunately did no
very great damage. The rear end
Of Mel. Campbell's old store-house
was badly shaken up and the ware
house adjoining was completely tel.
escoped.
The same night snow slide &C.
CURED at the Mountain Goat mine
which demolished the boiler house
and the blacksmith shop, but did
not injure the boarding house.
Monday about II o'clock big
slide came down the mountain side
east of Chinatown, but did no harm
to person or property.
Monday afternoon several small
slides occurred between the Gilmore
mill and town. No damage was
done by these save the carrying
away of small vacant house for
merly occupied by Mr.. Ehrgood.
The storm, we presume, was gen.
eral all over the west, and railroad
blockades may occur for some time
to come.
Tuesday the blessed sunshine
once more greeted US, and we hope
old Sol will not again desert US for
at least months to come. We are
sick of beautiful snow"-which is
now about four feet deep on the
level.

LOOKING FOR THE HIoHwAYMEN.

His Own House.

John johnson Attacked Last Night Near
His Own House.
The officers of the sixth police precinct are
looking for two colored men who are wanted
on charge Of assault and attempted robbery,
and they are confident that the men will be ar
rested before night.
The man assaulted was a colored man named
John johnson and the assault was committed
in Essex court near the victims home.
Some days ago johnson had more money
than he had been in the habit Of carrying
about with him and he was SO well pleased
with it that he exhibited it to others who were
not SO wealthy.
The invitation to rob was accepted, so il APP
pears from Johnson's complaint. and about
ii 80 o'clock last night he was knocked down
by the two colored men, whom he says he
recognized.
We had hardly got in the alley from the
street when the men grabbed him, and he started
TO cry Tor assistance, but their threats and as
sault frightened him. They knocked HIM
down and rihed his pockets of some letters and
papers, but did not get any money, as he had
none with him.
Johnson's assailants then left and went out
toward street He found an officer. who sent
him to the Emergency Hospital in the first pre-
cinct patrol wagon. DR.. Atchison dressed his
wounds. the worst one being a cut on his head
The police have descriptions of johnson 8

increase OF free importations in favor Of the
new law Of Ss6 s7s,7s2."
CONCERNING RxcrPnocrrY.
Concerning reciprocity Maj. Mckinley spoke
a. follows: There ID contained in the new law
q reciprocity provision by which the adminis-
tration has already made valuable treaties with
Brazil, San Domingo and Spain. It Is q pro-
vision which in no way encroaches upon the
protective principle, nor can in any way destroy
tariffs.
Reciprocity is based upon our free list and
practically upon non-competing products It
provides that the United States. having made
sugar, molasses, tea, coffee and hides free, il
the country producing those articles and send
Ing them to the United States shall impose du-
ties or other exactions upon agricultural or
other products Of the United States, reciprocity
unequal and unreasonable, the President has
the power to suspend by proclamation the pro-
viso relating to the free introduction Of such
articles, sugar, molasses, tea, coffee, hides, &C.,
against such countries imposing these duties
and exactious, and the original duties shall be
imposed
In conclusion he said: s'The republican
party will not pause in its march and achieve
ments until the flag, the flag of the stars, shall
DO the unquestioned symbol of sovereignty
at home and Of American rights abroad; until
American labor shall be securely shielded from
the degrading competition of the old world, and
our entire citizenship from the vicious and
criminal classes who are crowding our shores,
never. while the advocates Of a debased dollar
threaten the country with its financial heresies,
corner Of the country shall be protected; until

One Of the most interesting and picturesque
sections Of the country is the beautiful valley
Of the Monongahela, which drains the trans
Allegheny region between the Kanawha and
Allegheny. Rich in mineral resources and
historic lore. no section Of our country presents
wider range for study and investment.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad penetrates
this fair valley over two routes-the main line
from Baltimore to Wheeling and the Philadel-
phia division from Cumberland to Pittsburg
Coming by the latter route Ireach the NJ ononga-
hela at McKeesport-an active and thriving
city Of perhaps $1,000 inhabitants. The rush
OF industry and ceaseless whirl of machinery
are heard on every side. The latter city is at
the embouchure of the Youghiogheny and Mo-
nongahela and shows the spirit Of thrift in all
directions.
The great source of wealth Of this valley is
coal; which is mined and shipped to market on
the lower Ohio and Mississippi. The river Is
damned as far as Morgantown, W. Va, and

burg AMI Morgantown. One of these boats,

Frost News Stiffens Prlces-Late Advices
From Berlin and Paris.
CHICAGO, August 22-Compared with the ex-
element earlier in the week the market on
change this morning was rather dull. Al
though there was considerable business done,
the fluctuations were not so wild or wide as
was the case the first part OF the week.
There was great lack Of foreign news but o
weak closing was reported in Liverpool and
London. This caused weak opening in the
wheat market here, December starting a full
cent under yesterdays closing. From there
i declined but on receipt Of buying orders
opening price. This, however, was soon lost,
when New York sent orders to sell and prices
declined to 1854
The receipt OF frost news from the northwest
had the temporary effect Of firming the market
up Is at II O'clock. 1t was not believed, how
ever, that the frost had done much damage to
the crop and the market weakened again.
BERLIN, August 22.-The grain market here
opened this morning with rye irmer than at
the close yesterday. Prices for August and for
September and October delivery showed an adj
vance Of marks per 1000 kilos; Wheat was
weak. August and September and October de-
livery declined mark per 1000 kilos.
The market closed weak. Rye for August
and September and October delivery closed at
o decline Of two marks from the highest prices
OF the day.
PARIS, August 22.-The Bank Of France is
trying to keep gold to meet purchases Of
American wheat. The governor, in an inter-
view. estimated the payment for wheat at
E2O, 000, 900. But he urges that such scarcity
Of gold has frequently happened and
may endure, but the public has no
cause for alariu. The bank has seldom. been
SO fourishing. Another bank official, when
questioned in r.gard to the report on the gold
premium, replied that the money changers,
learning that the bank was holding gold, col
lected all they could by offering small prem
ium In the hope Of reaping profit when wheat
arrives.

Mama,


Henry Clews in his Financial Rerietp issued
today. says: THE spirit of improvement in the
stock market that set in about two weeks ago is
still maintained, though at the moment there are
some symptoms Of abatement. variety Of
circumstances have contributed to this change
Of tone. To begin with, the unfavorabls as
poets OF the situation had been considerably
exaggerated In the estimate Of operators, while
the favorable ones had been held in allowance
or their influence exhausted; and the market
was thus pre-exposed to sympathize with new
and hopeful influences.
'Atthis juncture came the intelligence of even
a larger crop Of wheat than the previous large
estimates est had indicated and the prospects Of
the corn crop also have exhibited q steady i'm.
provement. The iron trade has showed .
marked recovery, the combined June and July
product having equaled the extraordinary fig
ures OF last year. while the stocks on hand have
been reduced, which is favorable indication
OF recovery in our industries ut large. The
boom in wheat and rye consequent upon the
Russian ukase prohibiting the export Of the
latter grain, while inferentialy favorable to the
railroads. has awakened the long-dormant spirit
Of speculation In the grain trade, the contagion
OF which has readily spread to the stock ex-
change. The tendency Of information from
Great Britain and the continent has been to
dispel the illusions about the supposed des-
perate condition Of transatlantic finances.
The lateness Of the autumnal outflow of
money from this center to the west has also
had an assuring effect, the more so as it puts
back that movement SO much nearer to tho
time when we may expect compensation for
the drain in imports of specie.
Putting together these several factors 1t can
not be denied that they amount to a substan-
tial Improvement in the situation. and coming,
as they have, in a large measure Unexpectedly,
1t Is not surprising that they have changed the
temper of the market and stimulated specula-
tion even to the extent Of bringing out an out
