A Keeley Graduate at Butte Tells
How It Is Done.

"The great Kelley Jag cur

Jail thirteen times while on his way
to Dwight.

when an attendant wanted me to
take my coat off l asked him if he
was looking for a1lght. There were
three Jag rows / was in the worst

They took mine away. I complained

New York was at Dwight while l

vately. The doctor would not es-
tablish any such precedent, but told
the man to get in the jag line and
in a few days he would not consider
himself any better than the rest of
the drpnkards.

Idaho's School Exhibit.

A strong effort is to be made to
prepare an exhibit of the educa-
tional progress Of Idaho at the
Worlds Fair. 1t will consist mainly
Of the work Of the pupils. In a
circular just issued by State Super
intendent Harroun, teachers are in
part advised as follows:
"The plan is not restrictive nor
exhaustive, but merely suggestive.
All the schools in our state, from
kindergarten to college, public and
private, rural and municipal, will
have an opportunity to assist in
fully and faithfully representing
the educational work Of the state.
The opportunity now offered for
.collating the methods, appliances
and results of this most important
feature Of the development Of Idaho
is rare one and should be taken
hold of with the characteristic en-
ergy of her citizens.
s. I'm accordance with suggestions
made at the State Teachers Associ-
alton, committee consisting Of
Professor C. M. Higgins, Of the
Boise City school, Professor J. w.
Faris, of the Pocatello schools !;
Prof. J. C. Muerman, of the Moscow
schools, and Miss Jessie A. Upton,
of the Boise City kindergarten,
will select, classify and arrange the
material collected for exhibition
prior to shipment to Chicago. The
time is short and calls for active
and energetic work. All exhibits
from the schools Of the state should
be forwarded to Commissioner
Wells by the Goth of March, 1898.
A suitable room will be provided
for their reception. - Boise City

BOMBARDED.


An English Crank Fires Four Shots from
His Pistol at the House of Commons
just to Snow His Contempt.
LONDON, December 31.-A peculiar
case developed to-day by the arrest OF a
man named Borlas, who is graduate
of oxford and who holds the degree of
Bachelor OF Arts. He was arrested on
Westminster bridge, where he was
amusing himself by bombarding the
House Of Commons with a revolver.
He had fired fUuI shots at oIuuS prlI-
aims legislative halls when policeman
arrived on the scene and took him into
custody. When he was charged IN
court, Borlas declared that he was an
Anarchist and that he wanted TO show
his contempt for the House OF Commons.
He decided that shooting at the House
Of Commons would be the proper course
to show the contempt he entertained for
the members of that body and the build
ing, and having come to that conclusion
began to carry out his plan OF attack.
He also calmly stated that he intended
to shoot the policeman who arrested
him, but when he was taken into Gus
tody he thought it would be pity to
kill an honest man and he therefore re-
Trained.
The prisoner was remanded for a
further hearing. II is the opinion of
many who saw him in court and listened
TO his statement that he is mentally un-
balanced.

FLUSHING, o., December 3l.-Tues-
day evening a young man and woman
came from Bridgeport to this place ana
registered at the Flushing House as j.
G. Coventry and wife, Tippecanoe, OHIO.
The couple were we'll dressed and at
tracted attention as being two young
people desperately in love. Yesterday
the young lady did not leave her room
but had her meals sent to the room as
she complained of being sick and de-
sired to see no one.
In the afternoon an errand boy was
dispatched TO 0gleyie's drug store where
a bottle of sulphate Of morphine was
obtained. During the night consider
able attention was called to the fact OF
shutting OF feet and later heavy
breathing was heard, but little arten-
tion was paid to the matter.
This morning, however, suspicious
were aroused that all was not right and
obtaining no answer TO repeated calls
an officer was obtained and the door
broken open and there horrible sight
mertheir gaze.
The young woman was dead and the
man almost so. All efforts to resusci-
tate him failed and after about two
hours he expired without telling his
great secret to any one.
The man is liveryman by the name
of Coventry, of Tippiconoe, and the
lady was formerly the wife OF the mans
cousin and her maiden name being Miss
Thompson. She had separated from
her husband and it is alleged the dead
man was the cause.
Coventry left home Christmas and 1t
is supposed she accompanied him and
that they have been in Wheeling up to
Tuesday, when they came here.
No cause is assigned by anyone for
the horrible deed. They left a note
saying il anything happened to them
to telegraph Luther Coventry, Tippe-
canoe, aud placed money on the paper
to prepay the telegram.
His mother came here and will have
the body sent home, but refused to do
with the woman's body. The
inquest will be held tomorrow by Cor
oner Boyd.

LINCOLN, NEB.. December 31.-Gov.
Thayer and Labor Commissioner Lud-
den are actively at work securing the
proposed train load Of corn to be sent to
the famine sufferers Of Russia, and from
dozens OF points In the State responses
are coming to the proclamation Of tho
Governor. Mr.. Ludden estimates that
100000 pounds Of breadstuffs Will be
donated by Nebraskans.
Gov. Thayer has received letter
from Governor Merriam, Of Minnesota,
stating that the millers' organization
there had raised 100000 pounds Of
flour for Russian sufferers. The letter
suggests that, as the Russian Charge
d Affairs has agreed to charter steamss
er to take the supplies across the ocean,
Nebraska join with Minnesota in max
ing up ship load.
Gov. Thayer is in hearty accord with
the idea that a ship load be made up
from few Western States. but as the
Naval Department has said that Ne
braska anu Minnesota can have the
Constellation to take the supplies to st.
Petersburg free Of expense, the Gov
ernor thinks that to be the better way
of shipment.

contribution from this country go free
the entire way and land In Russia in a
ship carrying the American colors. 1t
would make the gift complete and much
more satisfactory to the givers."

PHYSICAL FORCE.
The Irish Terrorists Blow Up Dublin Cas-
tie With Dynamite-Ssrrow Escapes.


DUBLIN, December 3I.-A decided
sensation was caused in this city to-day
by an ill-dehned rumor that the 'physi-
cal force" party had resumed opera
tions here and that their first attempt
had been made against Dublin Castle.
The rumor was found to be based on
fact. 1t transpired that a number of
worsmen have been employed in MAX
ing alterations lately in and about the
castle. One Of the places which was
being overhauled was the Office directly
under the room in which the privy
council holds its meetings.
The workmen were being hurried in
their labor that all changes proposed
might be completed by the opening OF
the castle season which begins in Feb
ruary. While the workmen were pur-
suing their occupation there was sud-
denly tremendous report In the Office
referred to, which shook the building
and caused everyone to turn pale with
fright.
The damage to the castle is very
heavy. The ceilings Of the two floors
above the cellar were blown to pieces,
the heavy beams in some places being
torn into small pieces. The furniture
in the office beneath the privy council
chamber was completely smashed and
destroyed. 1t was fortunate thing that
workmen employed in making the alter
atoms had quit work and were at din
ner. Had 1t been otherwise, there
would have been serious loss of life 10

The affair created CONSERVATION
among those living in and employed
about the castle. All the dynamite out
RACES that have been perpetrated in

Britain are called to mind, and large

than that the :'physical force" party

PRINCETON GETS 1T.

John 7. seuum, Fearing the Result Of the
Bri. Is Controversy, WIthhOlds His Be-
quest.
BALTIMORE, December 31.-By the
will OF the late John T. De Sellum, OF
Rockville, property valued at $4,000,
which, il was supposed would have been
beOueathed to the Union Theological
Seminary, goes, says the american, to
the Princeton Theological Seminary, be-
cause Of the utterances and position OF
Prof. ChaS. A. Briggs, Of Union. 1t
is stated that Mr.. De Sellum made will
some time ago leaving his property to
the Union Seminary, but when the will
was read IL was found that he had al
tered IL a short time before his death,
beQueathing the property to Princeton.
The donor had taken deep interest
in the discussion over Union Seminary,
and when the Presbytery OF Washing
ton, to which he belonged, passed reso-
buttons directed against Prof. Briggs
and Union seminary, he decided to
leave his property to an institution OF
whose orthodoxy there was no doubt.

markable during the past year, Mr..
PoRTEE's figures to the contrary not
wlthstanding. While he gives US but
IS. 900, our own figures, which are indis-
putable, show that we have at the low
est calculation 10000. And the proba-
bilities are, figuring on the basis OF the
number OF voters in the city, that the
figure is nearer $4,000.
The improvements which were made
in the city during the past year out
rank those OF any previous year by long
odds, in importance and size. This is
true, whether we speak of public or
private improvements, Of finance and
general business, or Of buildings and
the trades--in each and every direction
we have improved and progressed and
made the Nail City not only handsomer
to look at, but more solid for investors,
and better place to live in in all re-
spects.
This bright New Years morning the
REGIsTEB-which IS always right Sin
IT, for better or worse, with Wheeling
presents a most elaborate and careful
resume Of business in the city during
the past year. Wheeling is big city,
and this has been big job, involving
great labor in interviewing representa-
tives Of every branch Of business, trade
and labor, which was necessary
10 get at the facts, and
also, as will be seen, considerable compil-
alton. It is by no means a short article,
but it is as accurate and readable to
those who are interested in knowing
about the eity's growth and progress,
as II is lengthy. To SUMMARIZED would
be but 70 repeat the phrase "a prosper
Gus year and increased business" in
every branch of trade and finance.
All Of which leads us to give thanks
to the old year and to wish more power
to the new.

WHY MOI?

Our correspondent, "Cabell," who has
a particularly interesting communlca-
ton in this mornings REGISTER takes
the esteemed h,teIligenoer to task for
compllmenting Mr.. T. J. MATHEWS,
late Of West Virginia, and just appointed
\ 10 Office under the Governor Of Idaho
~ ian able and efficient officer and
an aggressive aud absolutely irrepres-
sble citizen, who was once prominent
n polltlcal AID business circles in this
state"
Now why should not the IN
ltenigencer thus compliment Mr..
MATHEWS? OF course, we all know
that he is a rascal and criminal, and a
fugitive from West Virginia justice, but
he is an active aud ardent and success
ful Republican politician, so why should
not the IateuigeRccr lsud him, as, in Its
estimation and according to its code Of
morals, he certainly deserves?
We all know that Mr.. T. J. Ma
TlIEws had to 'skip the State" for an
attempt TO bride members Of the Legis-
Iatrre TO seat GOFF, the defeated candi-
data, during the gubernstorisl contest
in 1Ss9, and that a committee Of inves-
Qatidn OF FIVE, of which two were sta!-
wart Republicans, unanimously recon-
msnded the prosecution Of MATHEWS;
but our correspondent should remem-
Der that rascality is no ofense In the
eyes OF the intslligencer, when the ras-
esl works as a Republican. Many
worse and more notorious criminal than
MATHEWS has our esteemed neighoor
held ND as a model character.
Mr.. MATHEWS has Just received the
reward which all accomplished ''praeti-
cal politicians" received from Repub-
lican administration, and, in Heavens
name. why should not the IRtelligencer,
as faithful Republican organ, congrat-
Mate and compliment Mr.. MATHEWS
on the strength Of it, even though he Is
a criminal and in enforced absence from
West Virginia?

The Failures for 1891.

New YORK, December 31.-The mer-
camille failures for the year 1891, as re
ported by the Mercantile Agency OF K
&. Dun & Co., indicate that the num-
her of failures in the United States is
-, 273, as against 1O,907 in 1890. Inc
failures in 1891 are greater in NUMBER
than in any previous year.
since the record has been kept by this
Agency, running back to 1857. In
amount of liabilities, however, the hg-
ures are almost precisely the same as
those of the year previous, amounting
TO 1sO.OOO,OOO. The amount listed
therefore, does not exceed that of the
previous year, while the average OF the
liabilities OF each failure is Sl5,47l IN
1891, as against SIT, 400 in 1890.
