The l0ng-talked-of leap year party
was, of course, the event of the week,
and was a success in every sense of the
word, and the jolliest affair of the sea-
son. Its great attraction was its origi-
nality, and originality is the one thing
desirable these days. The man or
woman who originates new entertain
ment is greater than he who conquers
an army, for he conQuerS the common
enemy OF mankind-ennul. just now
the quiz party is the latest thing.
Its name suggests its nature,
and the invited guest is plunged
on his arrival into wilderness of puZ-
ZleS. The rebuS and riddle confront
flung at mm from every quarter. At
quiz party Friday night one of the clev-
crest things to be guessed was a young
woman wound round with silk thread.
At last somebody. after everybody else
had deSpaired of guessing her. Sug
gested Oliver Twist-all over twist, of
course. The man who solves the most
puzzles gets prize at the end OF the
evening. The idea is novel. but it Is
really rather too much of tax
on the abilities of the guests.
Each season brings its own new
entertainments. but there are
some time-honored amusementS of which
''age cannot wither nor custom stale the
infinite variety" and the cotillion is
one of them. The cotillion danced by
the German club Thursday night was
perhaps not so large as some of the
former functions of the club, but was
thoroughly delightful. The week as a
whole was emnently successful.

BUSINESS for the past week was
rather quiet, bad roads contributing
largely to this feature The wheat
market has been depressed, the for

market has been somewhat stronger,
the banks generally reporting iacreas-

abundance at all financial soenters.

light: London has shown 30 DISPOSE

"A COMICAL OLD HUMBUG.

1t is an undeniable fact that the
Democratic party is anxious for fus-
ioa with the Alliance or Peoples
party in several Of the western states
ia the coming. campaign. 1t is getting
in desperate condition and though
its leaders harp much about.its being
party of reform, economy, principle,
etc., it finds its fortunes sinking, aud
is willing to clutch at any straw that
floats ia its way. Senator Hill has
ruined its chances in New York, and
it must look elsewhere for aid to re-
trieve it's fallen fortunes. Alone it
stands no show in any of the western
states, so it has hit upon fusion as a
means of securing control. If it can
trade off few state officers which it
does not, and never can of itself, pos

of congress, why so much the better.
But to do this it must endorse the
free silver movement, and from pres

willing to do. Indeed many of it's
representatives in the present House
owe their election to the fact that for
votes they agreed to support a free
coinage measure, and this to certain
extent explains why that question has

| duplicate in every respect. 1t will
span the main avenue Of Machinery
Hall, and will rise to height of nine

great attention was attracted to a
similar model shown by the Creusot
works, but representing only a 100-tOn
hammer.
e. Seyderheim, horticulturist to the
Emperor of Austria, has writtsn

PRESIDENT HARRISON. through tn,

PRESIDENT HARRISON, through the
State Department, has informed Lord
Salisbury that no reply has been re
ceiVed TO his note of week ago. Ii
is the general opinion at Washington
that Salisbury will agree to the re
newal of the modus viven6i, but that
he wishes to'delay until the Canadian
sealing fleets on the Pacific coast will
have left for the fisheries before the
news Sf such renewal reaches the
western ports. In fact Quite.a num-
Der OF them have already left, and it
is believed ttfat unless England takes
steps in thegnatter at once, our war
vessels on that coast will be ordered
to the scene of seal destruction imme-
diatelT. If hngland will not act in the
matter it rs the intention Of the
Washington government to execute
the law on tie statute books against
the catching of seals.

PURE FOOD IN CONGRESS.
Action which has Resulted i'm the Off
,dial Determination of the Best
Baking Powder.

The act of congress authorizing the
examination of the baking powders
has resulted in most unprecedented
compliment to the Royal Baking Pow
der. The tests were made in the
government laboratory at Washing
ton, and the official report shows that
the Royal is superior to all others in
leavening strengthening over thirty
per cent. above the average. The re-
port also shows the purity of the Roy
al Powder and the wholesomeness of
it's ingredients.
This is probably the highest COM
pliment of an official character ever
paid to proprietary article, though
no more than the great army Of bak-
ing powder consumers would expect
in behalf of their old friend and
fav0rite.
The result OF the official eXamina-
ton, as thus determined, will of
course, make the Royal" the stand
ard for Government purchases.

NUMBER Al

been forced upon the House in spite
of the wishes of some of the partys
more conservative leaders, who wish
to postpone its consideration until
after the approaching campaign.
When we look upon the past record
of the Democratic party and note how
it was carried away with the Green
back craze, there is hardly a question
but that for votes it would endorse
the land loan idea and even the SUBJ
treasury scheme. Confronted with
such condition, principle would be
parted company with on short notice.
AS Geo. William Curtis said Of it in
1884, it is party thirsty and hungry
for the offices, and it's record proves
that it cares little how it secures
them, so they are obtained.
But it's victory through fusion can
be only temporary at best, and it is
doubtful if it would succeed at the
commencement. In referring to it
many Of the Democratic papers state
that there ought to be no reason why
fusion should not be an accomplished
fact, as the aims of the two parties
are, with few exceptions, almost
identical. If this is so, it is somewhat
curious that since the Alliance COM
menced to discuss the sub-treasury
matter, the land loan scheme, the free
coinage question, Government owner
ship of railroads, ETC., Democracy sud-
denly wakes up to the fact that this
is along the line it has contended for
years. No wonder Mr.. Boutelle in
opening a recent speech in the House
exclaimed: "What comical old hum
bug the Democratic party is" But
this simply what it has been for years;
this is what it will continue to be,
undoubtedly, so long as it remains
before the people.
P. T. Barnum used to say that there
was nothing the American people
liked better than to be humbugged
and we suppose this is the reason the
party occasionally slips into power
The question is do they want to be
humbupged by it again?

A Disastrous Snowslide.

Friday evening while the freight
wagon train under the charge of
George Barrack, delivering material
to the Lemhi Placer mining COM
pany from Red Rock to Salmon
City, were on their way toward
their destination, at kirtley creek,
the company's site of operations,
they met with a fearful casualty.
The project of transportion has
been a very difficult one for several
days, wagons being used, and the
nature of the freight such as to ne
cessitate the shoveling of snow in
all drifts, very near to the ground.
On Friday afternoon at about 4
O'Clock, after the thoroughfare had
been opened, the first team Of the
train started into the cut, others
followed, when without any warn
ing, the snow broke for at least 300
feet in width and one-half mile in
length, taking all distractions in
its course. The fated team was
simply picked up and destroyed,
together with its human freight.
AL. Biggler and E. Slime, without a
moments warning, were hurled in
to eternity. The body Of .Biggler
was recovered at about 7 P. NJ, and
found not much mangled, while the
body of Slime, although only about
four feet distant, was not recovered
until 1OP.M. Nine feet of snow
covered the bodies.
Elmer Black, the man who brought
the news into Salmon City, had a
narrow uscape, as did man by the
name of Dave Kerr, these two be-
ing carried down with the slide for
forty or fifty feet and landed in a
dead tree top. No other casualties,
aside from the killing of.two of the
horses and the total anrihilation
of one wagon.-Hydraulic Miner.

An Avalanche OF Death.

Word was received here Monday
Of death dealing snowslide on the
hill opposite the hosting works
and concentrator of the Narrow
Gauge group Of mines, which killed
Henry Bloss, the engineer at the
hosting works, and destroyed the
works. We take the following facts
from the News Miner:
About two o'clock a small slide
came down from the Nettie, which
filled up the gulch. Two hours
later George Mcconnell was haul
ing up load of wood to the hoist
ing works, and seeing the second
slide coming stopped bis team and
undertook to run back behind the
sled, but got only about middle
way Of the sled when the slide struck
the horses, nearly covering them
up and burying him also, but ne
succeeded in getting out and went
back to come cabins about 400
yards distant for help. Before ne
returned another small slide had
covered his horses.
But the rescuing party fastened
to the assistance Of Henry Bloss,
whom they knew was buried in
the hosting works. It took two
hours to find him. He was buried
about eight feet deep, and was evil
IDENTIFY killed instantly, as there
were several severe bruises on his
body.
The deceased was a native OF
Canada, aged 26 years and eight
months. His father and two sisters
live in Buffalo, NY, and brother,
Charles, lives here.
