for it, sometime during the year, let
him come; forward and we will give

The militia ball was grand success
and the hall well crowded with
whirling couples. The music was
furnished by M. L. Vial, Frank
JENNIE, John Jenne and John Nevin
and was up to the. occasion. The
soldier boys disposed of fifty-six
tickets, the receipts being sS4. The
ladies did well with the bean supper,
and as they received half the ticket
money their receipts were the same.

A prominent farmers alliance man
said the other day. off the farmers
would be little more industrious and
display more energy, and with the
present outlook for a good season
and prospects for magnificent crops,
make their lands produce the largest
possible amount and then haul their
grain to the Weiser roller mills and
get the cash for it, they would be
able to pay off some of their
mortgages and learn that the greater
portion of their grievances were
only imaginable.

THE SIGN AL.



last come and for the last three or
four days has been giving US full
benefit, and the snow is going just
about as fast as it can well go and
not take out all the bridges. The
south hillsides are getting pretty well
barred and men fortunate enough to
have any horses or cattle left after so
hard a winter are beginning to drive
them to the hills. The ice is almost
if not quite broken up in the river,
and we expect very little if any more
winter
Last Monday night there was
dance at the residence of James Ross
in this valley, and on the same night
another at the residence of James
Murphy in Monday gulch. Both
were good. 1t is an old saying that
opposition is the life of trade, but l
think VIC could get along very well
without it in small valley like this.
On the following Wednesday there
was a candy pulling and dance at
Mr.. Bill Gray's. The boys and girls
taffyed each other to their hearts
content.
Three more dances Friday night,
one on upper Crane and the other two
in Indian valley, and Of course each
was an entire success.
Mr. Henry Lambert, who is feeding
cattle in the valley this winter, while
on the return trip from Crane Friday
morning, had quite an exciting expert
ence in the runaway line. His horsss
becoming frightened undertook to
run away, in which they were en-
tirely successful. His girl, not wish
ing to break any records in sleigh
riding (or her neck either), took a
a flying leap into the nearest snow
drift. Henry was now left alone and
unaided to try and check his flying
team, which he proceeded to do with
a tenacity of purpose worthy of bet
ter success. About this time the
tongue came out of the sleigh, and
the girl dug herself out of the SNOW
drift just in time to see Henry dive
over the dash board into the snow
and start off GOWN the road at pref
ty lively rate, without even stopping
to say good-bye,a thing he was never
known to do before. 1t turned out
that he bad become entangled in the
lines, and much as he wished to, was
unable to let go. After dragging Mr..
Lambert about a quarter of a mile,
the team got loose from him and
caused another runaway about three
quarters of mile further on but be-
yond the demolition of couple of
sleighs and some little damage done
to harness, nothing serious resulted.

DRIFTING.
A Towboat and Four Scows at the
Mercy of the Waves.
The LIVES OF rs MEN In DANGER.
A Terrific Gale with Heavy Seas Caused
tho Towboats Hawser to Break-
Italians on Board Crazed
with Fright.

NEW YoRK. Jan. 27.-The towboat
Webster and four scows belonging to
the department Of street cleaning, with
1876 men on board, are drifting out TO
sea and the steamboat is beyond the
control OF her skipper and crew.
Al 0:20 o'clock yesterday morning,
while the Webster was struggling in
the teeth Of a fifty mile gale, her
hawser broke and became tangled in
and about her propeller. Thus she
was at the mercy of terrific sea aud be-
gan drifting out 10 sea. Her two scows,
which had been towed out into the
ocean, us is the custom, TO be dumped
Of their refuse, had at least sixty Ital-
ians on board and at last accounts
these helpless creatures were seen by
the Far Ruckaway outlooks moving
about frantcally, crazed with fright
Since yesterday morning nothing has
been seen or heard OF them
The tug boat X. s Nichols, with two
other scows, anchored her tow and
started TO the assistance of the Web
ster. The captain of the Nichols con-
cluded, however, that with his own
anchored scows in extreme danger and
the chances of reaching the Webster
against him, he would do better to
come up TO the city at once to report
and secure help
Scarcely was the Nichols out of sight
when her two scows were beaten from
their anchorage and blown rapidly out
70 sea by the hurricane which wa
sweeping of the land
The first news OF the grave happen
ings off the Long Island coast came up
from the Rockaway outlook TO Com
missioner Brennan, OF the street clean
ing department A dispatch stated that
the two steam boats, each with several
scows in tow, had been sighted off
Rockaway beach in the morning
Later q second dispatch said that one OF
the steam boats with its tow had disap-
peared, while the other had anchored
her scows under the beach and sailed
for this city.
On his arrival here in the afternoon
the captain of the Nichols said that he
had been unable to rescue the Italians
on his scows because waves and wind
were so high that 1t was impossible for
him TO approach the scows without
greatly endangering his own boat and
them. He did not then know that
already his tow had dragged their an
chors and was then plunging and drift
ing out TO sea
The Nichols and the Desoris were at
once sent out to search for the Webster.
At midnight neither vessel had re-
| turned.
IL is not known how many Italian
laborers are on the scows towed by the
Webster, but 1t is thought that there
must be ut least as many as are on the
scows In Gravesend bay, namely sixty,
besides the captain and crew OF the
Webster, 1875 men in all, who at last
reports were at the mercy Of the ga G
and heavy sea. 1t is thought that these
men are on the open sea
About half an hour after the Nichols
and Deserts had started on their search
for the Webster and tow the new
steamboat Municipal reported for
orders and was at once dispatched to
Gravesend bay TO, II possible, take the
sixty Italians from the scows at that
| time believed 10 be anchored there.

believe IL will get in the mood. Sor
of the men who expect to get of

about fusion but the great majority
OF the alliance men Of the state are
honest and earnest in the advocacy Of
the principles Of their party. These
will not be willing to make dishonor

turned over TO the democratic party in

This Is the scheme proposed by the

No party ever amounted to anything
In this country that began its career by
fusing with another party. Parties
are built up by a dignihed adherence

PETER and the Constitution. .

A few days ago Kansas was laugh.
ing at the action Of It's long whiskered
senator In introducing bill to author
ize the secretary Of the treasury to loan
to farmers Of Indiana SlOO,0O0,0 900 on
approval first mortgages. MIR, PETER
has always had an idea that he knew
all worth knowing in the way Of
legislation for the dear people. The
fate of his bill shows how near he
comes to being even an ordinarily well
Informed congressman.
The bill was promptly referred to
the committee on agriculture, which
has just decided thai II and the senate
have no authority in the matter,
and has returned the bill 10 the senate
with such report. Unless Senator
PETER hires a constitutional lawyer to
scrutinize and pass upon bills that he
may prepare on similar lines for
introduction into the senate he will
furnish considerable amusement before
the end Of the session.

Some papers are anxiously and foo,-
ishly urging that there Is likely to be a
split In the republican ranks because
of the talked of old aud young crowds.
Nonsensel There is in reality no
"crowd" division ut all and never has
been. The younger blood Of the re-.
publican party has Joked about 1t but
II never was meant to be taken serious
ly. The young fellows are for republi
canism first, last and all the time. so
are the older ones, II is natural that
those who have been In the party long.
est should have had the larger portion
Of the honors and they were entitled to
them. So 1t is natural that the young
blood coming In should ask for It's share
and we believe the tendency is one
of willingness to grant this. But both
young and old will take off their coats
for republican success and fight
shoulder to shoulder from this until
Nov. g. To bea republican this year
is honor enough It means progress,
enlightenment, victory,
