Some Brief Statements About the Ed

itor's Opponent.
Nor OUR WAY.-We are u candidate for
state senator, and we shall do our best to
get there with both feet We shall, how
ever, make radical departure from long
established customs, Is we have mentioned
before. The candidate opposed to us served
five years in Joliet for stealing a horse.
THE KICKER will not use the incident as
campaign document, nor shall we more
than casually and pleasantly refer to it in
our speeches from the stump. We have
entered politics hoping TO elevate instead
OF degrade it. II we can't be elected with
out vilifying and abusing our opponent,
then may we be showed under. We can
not consistently advocate the MAJORS claims
to election in our own paper, but If the al
legged newspaper down the street will
champion his cause we will agree to pur-
chase 100 copies per week during the cam
paign.

The Diagram Man.

They were engaged Lionel De Haven
and Leonaire st. Claire. He had first met
her or a street car, and the graceful, Iowa
BILE way in which she had paid her fare had
smitten his heart. Although n stranger to
her he had ventured to observe that there
was heap of measles about just then, and
without any trace OF that Puritanism
brought over on the Mayhower in packages
of various sizes she had replied in the affirm
alive, and added that her papa had boil
on his neck. Within week they were en-
gagged, though it was agreed between them
that nothing should be said to the old folks
for five or six years yet.
On the evening of which our story opens
lionel and Leonaire are sitting on the
west yeranda of her fathers house. They
have had their first quarrel. She wanted
him to touch the buzz saw end Of humble
bee with his finger, but he obstinately re-
fused. The following diagram shows how

Origin of Drinking Heaiths.

Here Is one of the several statements
made on the subject of the origin Of the
very common custom Of drinking
healths:" In the days when the Danes
lorded it in England they had a very com
mon habit Of stAbbing Englishmen in the
throat when drinking. To avoid this
villainy man when drinking would 70
quest some Of the sittersby to be his pledge

Quite an industry appears to be
growing up in New York and Boston,
where large quantities of tea is i'm
ported, in connection with the mat
tings with which the boxes are en-
veloped and the lead lining which is
placed between the box and its con-
tents. The mattings are mostly baled
and shipped to London, where they
enter into various uses. They are al
SO used to a considerable extent in
this country. In regard to the lead
Innings a much larger use is made.
China has been noted from all time
for the purity of its lead and the great
value of its lead mines, and this tea
chest lead, as it is called, is regarded
as the finest IN existence. 1t COM
mands FIVE cents and upward pound,
aud finds ready buyers. There are
many uses for it, and it Is especially
valuable in making the best kinds of
solder. 1t is excellent in preserving
furs and delicate fabrics, and is much
sought for by military and naval men
in which to wrap their dress uniforms,
for it not only preserves the cloth,
but prevents the gold ornaments from
furnishing. One would think that,
where so much of this sheet lead is
made use of as in China, there would
be machinery employed in its produc
ton; but such is not the case, and
every sheet of it is made by hand and
in the most primitive fashion. A
large brick is provided, the size of the
sheet of lead to be made, and this
brick is covered with two or three
sheets of paper. On this paper the
molten lead is poured, and another
brick is placed on top, which aatten:
the lead out to the required size anc
thinuess. The sheets are then sold
cred together 10 the size of the interi
or OF the tea chest, the tea packed il
and the top sheet fastened in place
The workmen are very expert, ane
turn out vast number of sheets il
the course of the day, and where la
Dor is cheap, at price much less thar
1t could be made by machinery.

Smokeless Powder.

The Safety Nitro Powder Company
of San Francisco has been experl-
menting at Grass Valley with new
fumeIess powder which is destined to
become popular with miners. The

was made Wednesday in the Idaho
mine of Grass Valley. Here the
place selected was a drift A feet

shots fired in this small and unventi.
lated area was II, taking Is pounds
of powder in all. After they were
fred light blue smoke was emitted
from the drift, disappearing almost
momentarily, and Immediately the
men entered and began work agair
without detecting the slightest trace

Justice.
DeLamar Nugget.

No fair minded citizen of this coun-
ty where J. R, DeLamar, by his in
dustry, good judgment, and | must
add, great good luck, acquired his
comfortable fortune, expresses any i'll
feeling or criticisms on the fact that
he chose to give most superb BAN
auet to a small number of society
people in Washington not long since.
But this event has started a howl
among the newspapers IN this State,
and out of it, the publishers of which
do not know that gentleman person
ally, which is to be deplored. He
has been written down as an ignorant
boor and a snob, and all manner of
mean things said of him which no one
who knows him personally can en-
dorse. For four years Captain De-
Lamar did more hard work than any
other man in Owyhee county. He
bears the reputation here of being a
most considerate and liberal mine
mansger. On many occasions where
miners have taken contracts from him
and failed to make wages, he has
been known to make up the de6cien-
cy by handing them check. The
buildings he caused to be erected
here for the comfort of his employees
are better than those built by the
owners of any other mine in the coun
try. The splendid school house here
was present from him. While hi.
great wealth was yet in the prospec
tive, and while he had many finau
cial difficulties to contend with, he
was as much a gentleman and al
much esteemed as when his success:
made it small sacrifice to show hi
liberality. He is courteous anc
we'll bred gentleman, has had wide
tand various experience, been an ex
tensive traveller, and has mingled witt
men on both continents who are ia
superior to the majority of his ira
j dncers. He has earned the enjoy
ments he has taken in the gay capi
tal this winter, and if he has choseI
to give a dinner to his friends in re
turn for courtesies shown him, he ha
done nothing more than was perhap
due from him to them, and his ira
ducers show meanness when the,
criticise him so unjustly therefor.

SPOKANE, Wash, March 2l.-It is
evident that the Miners Union of the
Ceur d'Alene section propose 10 re-
sist the attempt of mine owners to
reduce wages of carmen upon resump-
tion of work April 1st. The central
executive committee of the union, at
a meeting at Mullen to-day, issued a
card requesting miners and working
men to keep out of the country until
the difficulty between the Nine Own
ers' Association and the Miners Union
has been settled. The card states
that hundreds of idle men are now on
the ground awaiting employment.

A NEAT cAPrUaE.


a roober whom the police of Chey.
enne, Wyoming, were very spxiou,
TO capture, was neatly nabbed ia
Boise yesterday by Chief Of Police
Nicholson. The prisoner was landed
IN the county Jail and there he will
remain until a Wyoming officer,
armed with requlsition, comes here
to take him back to the scene Of hi.
crime.
The prisoner is known BY three
names. In Cheyenne people called
him Jack Pratt and sJack, the Rip-
per-" In Boise his name il J. W,
Walters. His mother lives on Idaho
street, in this city.
The Cheyenne police learned that
the robber had fed west, and they
asked Chief Nicholson to watch for
him. The officer took look at eyery
stranaerin town and arrived at the con-
cluslon that man named Walters
was Jack Pratt.
A few days ago the chief was noti-
he'd that a woman in Cheyenne, with
whom Pratt formerly lived, was mail
ing letters addressed to ~. w. Wal
ters, Boise" The officer then de-
cided to arrest the cnlprit, but he
could not be located.
1t was learned that he called 1t
the postofice every day or two, and
the chief laid in wait for him. Wal
ters evidently knew the officer, how
ever, for he gave the postofice wide
berth whenever the chief was about.
Yesterday morning trap was set
for Walters and his arrest followed.
1t was arranged that the clerk at the
general delivery window at the post
Office should, when Walters came for
a letter that awaited him, give sig-
nal to Gene Goff, who was stationed
in the corridor, who should in turn
signal the chief.
In due time Walters nervously en-
tered the postoffice and asked for his
mail. The letter was given him, but
the next moment he was placed under
arrest.
He was, for few seconds, perfect
ly astounded. Then he attempted to
destroy the letter be had Just re-
ceived.
The chief was too quick for the
fellow, however, and he secured the
letter after it had been twice torn
across. 1t was from the Cheyenne
woman, and it will probably furnish
sufficient evidence to bring about the
robbers conviction.
Pratt, or Walters, is a painter by
trade, but bears hard name. The
Cheyenne police suspect him Of
more than one crime.

Their coinage was abandoned for
two reasons: FIRST, because the loss
