We wonder if it is true-that story
about fight between young ladies upon
street car going from Pittston to
Wilkesbarre? 1t sounds like fake, and
yet it might be true. The provocation
given to the Wilkesbarre girls by the
Pittston girls was enough to turn worm
into hyena and lamb into tiger.
The sad tale runs thus: A number of
young ladies from Pittston were in an
electric car along with some young la
dies from Wilkesbarre. One of the Pitts
ton girls remarked in loud voice with
a tantalizing ring in its ladylike tones
that all the best looking young men in
Wilkesbarre left that town of Sunday
evening and called on the girls of Pitts
ton. The insult was deadlier far than
that offered to Clemenceau in the French
chamber of deputies. The rage aroused
by the Panama scandal was nothing to
the wrath that boiled over at that mo-
ment in the gentle Wilkesbarre breast.
Such insinuations could naturally be
wiped out only in blood. Wilkesbarre
flew at Pittston, and there was scrim-
mage such as an assembly of well be-
haved young women never witnessed be-
fore. All the public will be glad to
know, though, that the Wilkesbarre girls
came off best. One Pittston girl had an
injured nose, two others got black eyes,
while the only injury sustained by the
the Wilkesbarre army was one sprained
ankle

The Pennsylvania legislature has be-
fore it a bill requiring secret beneficial
orders to make full annual reports to the
state insurance commissioner. 1t is a
good move. The swarm of so called
benefit orders that have buzzed up all
over the country have been as tempt
ing a bait to the poor and ignorant
as lottery and as disastrous. The
heads of the order give it romantic
name, have a mummery of grip and
password, so that the public will not
look too closely into it, and then proceed
to fleece the hard working out of their
earnings without any ceremonies at all.
The bait held out is always a rate of in
terest and dividends for their invest
ments that is two or three times as high
as can be got in legitimate business OPP
erations. 1t is exactly the same old gag
that has been played on humanity since
the time of Adam and Eve. and it fools
them exactly the same. Schemes that
promise immense financial returns for
an infinitesimal outlay are generally
frauds, especially if they have the word
benevolent tackled to them.

almighty effort to initiate his
scheme. And while we think of it
we suggest to some others, would
it not be good plan for you to try
the scheme, too? Prestol there
may be millions in it! We are
here to help build up Bonner's Fer
ry, to assist every business man to
the extent of our ability to increase
his business. But we do not be-
lieve this can be accomplished by
dipping our pen into vitrol every

What ENGLAND Would Do.

The constant petty warning of the
Soudanese tribes on Egypt and the CON
slant internal discussions in the Nile
kingdom endangered the commercial in
terests of Great Britain there, which
were very large. This was a dozen years
ago. What did England do? She sent
her sturdy Anglo-Saxon soldiers to
Egypt, made war on the obstreperous
Arab Bey, defeated him and put an
end to the rebellion against govern
ment that was too weak to take care Of
itself. Then England put upon its legs
a government that suited herself and
held it there with good British bayonets
That was IL years ago. Mr.. Gladstone
was at the head of the government then
In 1882 he declared in the most solemn
manner in his speeches throughout Great
Britain that the occupation of Egypt by
English troops would end with the put
ting down of the revolt. But it did not
end. 1t has not ended yet.
The prompt action of Lord Rosebery,
minister of foreign affairs, recently in
compelling the resignation of cabinet
which Khedive Abbas had had the hard
HOOD to choose for himself without
consulting the British government shows
there is now no expectation even on the
part of Gladstone himself that the Brit
ish occupation of Egypt will terminate
fDr mo M oil
is very simple and final. British com
mercial interests in Egypt are too pow
erful to jeopardize by leaving them to
the ignorance and incapacity of the ma
tive Egyptian government. England
must take care of the money of her Egyp-
tan bondholders.
Now, then, the interests of Americans
in Hawaii are exactly what the interests
of British citizens are in Egypt. This
country controls 90 per cent of all the
trade with Hawaii. The value of the
sugar plantations there amounts to $4O,-
100000. Shall the United States see these
American interests sacrificed? Under
British rule in Egypt the government of
the country has been reconstructed and
industrial reforms instituted that have
benefited the common people as much as
such a run-to-seed race can be benefited.
Just such run-to-seed race are the ma
nves of Hawaii. Let England ask herself
what she would do with Hawaii herself
under the circumstances and keep her
hands OF.

With the Russian famine, the grip for
two years, the cholera, typhus and final
ly the extreme severity of the present
winter, both in Europe and America, it
looks as if rgeproportion of the weak
and physically unfit members of the hui
man race would be carried off. In Ham
burg alone in the past year there were
10000 deaths from cholera What fam
inc and pestilence spared the frost bids
fair to gather But with the weeds the

ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY.
A CUSTOM House.

Bonner's Ferry is not to be dis
couraged by little thing like
the failure Of County division In
fact a county seat would cut but a
small figure with us anyway as com
pared to our other expectations.
The town has plenty of pluck and
grit left, and our next move is up
on the congress of the United
States to have it pass law to make
Bonner's Ferry a port of delivery.
In this movement we have no jeal-
GUS county rivals to fight. This
place is the proper location for the
custom house. 1t has direct COM
munication with the British Column
bia mines, and here the imports
must be transferred from the boats
to the railway. 1t is on the line of
the most direct route from the
mines to the markets for the prod
ucts of the British Kootenai, and
from every point of view is by far
the most appropriate point for the
location Of an official port.
Senator Dubois has already Sc
cured the passage Of the bill by the
Senate and has no doubt of the Ill
innate passage Of the bill. With
the customs offices here the com
mercial supremacy of Bonner's Fer
ry is assured. The making this a
port Of delivery will bring with it a
bonded warehouse, sampling
works, government building
and several officers. All ores from
British Columbia will have to be
sampled here. 1t will make this a
mining center, and smelling men
will come here to purchase ores, 50
that it will be seen it is a matter OF
no little importance.

THE substantial backing of Bon
ner's Ferry is being well illustrated.
1t has been charged that we needed
county division and a county seat
to bolster up real estate boom.
To show the utter falsity of such a
charge, right on the heels Of the
news Of the failure of division comes
the fact that Bonnef's Ferry is now
picking up and looking brighter
than for the past six months. A
day hardly passes now but some ar
rangements are made for a new
business house. No, Bonner's Fer
ny does not need county seat to
live and grow and prosper and out
strip all its jealous rivals.

DID the readers Of the HERALD
ever notice the fact that the person
who finds faults with the home pa
per and says it don't amount to

COUNTY DIVISION has gone by
the board. Bonner's Ferry made
the best fight it could for it but
lost. 1t was better to try, and lose
than never to try at all. We do
not blame Rathdrum. Self inter
est compelled her to fight it. Neither
can any rational man blame Bon
ner's Ferry for wishing to tighten
the burdens and lessen the incon-
veniences resting upon us.

THE HERALD has many faults

HERALD ever stoops to personal re-

giving the news. We aim to keep
the paper free from petty spite.

THE way new business houses are

THE way new business houses are
opening up in Bonner's Ferry and
in the light of the fact that several
more are certainty, we look for
better times here this summer than
ever before. Bonner's Ferry is not

seat to support it. The town will
grow and flourish by reason of its
natural resources.

HOLD ON, RATHDRUM.

Rathdrum is feeling pretty good
over Bonner's Ferry's defeat, but
she is laughing too soon. The next
move will be to move the county
seat from Rathdrum to Ceur d.
Alene. The Kootenai country will
now stand solid for the proposition.
In two years we can poll 800 votes
and these added to Cpur d. Alene's
strength, will give the necessary
two-thirds. We regret the step for
Rathdrum's sake, for the town will
go broke without the county seat
But we offered the Rath- drummers
a show for their lives and they would
not take it. With the county seat

Of what I owed him, and it was q

was a rude picture of a soldier on
the march, and after it three strllshJ

THEIR BOAT NEARLY WRECKED

-Four men in a boat had m excit-
ing scrimmage with an enormous bear
on Lake Whatcom. They were on n
fishing trip, and were armed only with
AK ana n pistol. They saw it swim
ming in the water and opened fire.
The bear made straight for the bow
of the boat, with its eyes like small
balls Of fire and it's mouth wide open.
Tt seized the boat, tearing a piece Of
wood off the gunwale several inches
In length; then, lodging the blows Of
the AK that were directed at him, bruin
the side of the boat a swipe with

just then the pistol and the ak got in
their work, and the bear gave up the

COOPERATIVE STORES n ENG
LAND.
July . 1887.

New York Observer: At the recent
cooperative congress held in Bristol.
Eng. the fact was brought out that Co
operative stores have not made much
Roadway in London. During the last
IS years more than $50 societies have
been dissolved. The reason for this is
apparently not far 10 seek. Shopkeep-
erS continue TO offer their goods at
store prices 10 those who conform to
store conditions, and pay cash down
for what they purchase. Then, owing
70 the vast size Of London. the smaller
shopkeepers are of more service in
distributing the goods. Working peo-
pie will not 90 far from home in order
to get their supplies. Thus, except
among the rich and well-to-do, cooper
ativc stores have been distinctly n
failure in London. On the other hand,
they have been a great success through
out the country. Their wholesale de
pots do n business of more than IA
millions sterling annually. OF course
these cooperate > institutions L on an
entirely different footing from the firms
which allow a percentage of profits to
their employees. This latter form of CO.
operation has not been pushed rs much
rs it might have been either in Great
Britain or u country.

THE MODERN CONFUSION CURE
As 1t Strikes The Imprint Newspaper
of PetaIuma, Cal.

As 1t Strikes The Imprint Newspaper
of Petaluma, Cal.
In the Mississippi valley fifty years
ago anu upward there was n school
Of medical practitioners who were or
believed themselves to be capable Of
curing any human malady if they could
by any means get it to take the form
Of commissions. In their own homely
but not inexpensive backwoods Ian
guage they were "h- on fits" They
were the immediate successors of the
phlebotomy school, one of whom killed
George Washington by bleeding him
five times the last day he lived. though
his complaint was nothing worse than
a simple cold. They would even, and
perhaps more properly than in most
cases, tap a vein in the arm to relieve
a nOse-hleed.
But this is a DEPRESSION. These old
Mississippi fellows could not cure a
tOothache, relieve the pain Of a boil or
remove a wart without throwing the
patient into fits. But il they could eff
fe8 that end they would guarantee,
ana if need be put up good security to
cure or Kill" And they never failed!
And as experts in the arr Of throwing
follows into fits they established a
record that ncvcd has been broken and
never viii be. They are suspected Of
having invented the green cucumber.
They We're, above al men. THE friends
of the watermelon" They cultiveted
and fostered, il they did not create,
the habit Of eating cherries and drink
ing milk simultaneously. At any rate
they seldom missed fire in converting a
slight arrangement Of the liver, or =
hacking cough, or the pain from an
ingrowing nail into all the symptoms
of q violent strycAuine couvulSion, and
then they had him where they wanted
him. 1t was a sure case Of kin or cure.
In their wake was an occasional consti-
tuition that weathered the storm, and
many graves and physical wrecks.
These old fellows have quit the medi-
cal profession and have passed to the
other side" Their theory and practice
survive, but have passed into another,
q more c%ongenial and a protta.
bic field. They have gone into politics.
Drs. Teller, Jones. Stewart, Wolcott
and blood to horses brides" Waite
are the expert practitioners. The coun-
try is all right so long as they can
keep it enjoying a succession of none
tary fits and silver rabies. But they
have improved upon the 0ld-time Miss
issippi valley medical cucumber prOpa-
gators. The oid-timers would either
cure a fellow or let hin die. But these
moderns viii only consent to cure Of
one fit by throwing the patient into
another.
And now we find them fOaming and
frothing, breathing stertoriouSly, spit
ting white metal in all directions,
and swearing by all the gods that the
patient-dear old Uncle Sam-shal
have no relief from the Sherman fit
or mistit-until he has been provided
with a Substitute" They are more
cruel, less merciful than their pcogeni-
tors-they have perpetuated the '1it
system" without rs r~edeeming feature;
they will neither kill or cure.
