DEATH Is reaping harvest amsng the
illustrious survivors OF the civil war and
the statesmen OF that period. One OF
the most prominent was the late James
q. Blaine. His career in national al
fairs was both prominent and brilliant,
extending over period of thirty years.
Ex-PresiJent HAYES, who took a prom.
tnent part in the war and few years
later was elected to the highest Office
within the gift OF the people is another
who has passed to the unknown world.
While his public career was not so bril-
liant az that Of Blaine, his deeds will
find prominent place in the records Of
American history. Gen. Benjamin +.
Butler, with all Of his eccen;ricity, made
his power felt during the war and later
in public life. He was a politician OF
national reputation. During the war he
served as brigadier general and made
himself famous by refusing to return
fugitive slaves, claiming that they were
ceutraband OF war. lie also added to
his reputation by the occupation OF New
Orleans. He governed that city with a
~igor and loyalty that incurred the bit
ter hatred Of the whole SOUTH, Others

earthly career within the past year, and
before long all those who were promi-
nent in those eventful days will be
known only in history.

LAST week the Poet Falls Post boosted
OF Its loyalty To the people OF Koo,enai
Sounty and claimed to be the guardian
OF their interests. In the same issue it
advocates the location OF the school OF
mines in Shoshone county, stating that
this city is not tit place for it. Rather
than see it located here it prefers to
the school go to soms other county,
yet the Post editor recently stated that
he received more support from this
town than from Post Falls. How much
longer will our people support known

County Division.

County Division.
Tho opponents OF county division have
% far been unable to produce an argu-
neAt in support Of their position. The
Rathdrum Times devotss over u column
70 The abuse d this paper for isvorins
division, but not line OF reasonable
argument appears 10 prove that we are
wrong. Aside from . few disjointed
sentences, such as ''jibterish idiot,
liar" fool, terms with which the
editor seems to be very iamilisr-the
article is wholly unintelligible. L. T.
Dittemore, q prominent farmer residing
on the prairie, says he has been = resi-
dent Of two large counties during his
life which were divided and the result
in both instances Was lower taxes, less
expense in the management of county
affairs and consequent saving to the
people.
The statement OF County Treasurer
Hill for the past year shows that the
co1nty received from taxes and all other
sources $so ,504-22. 1t took the whole of
this amount to pay the current expenses
Of the county. Suppose the county is
divided and the new counties should
each receive one half the amount, is
there = psrsen xhs viii be bold enough
70 claim that the expenses would be
in excess of this sum. We claim that
division would lessen them and that
the new counties could be maintained at
an expense of not to exceed s25 ,OOa, thus
saving TO the axpayers Of each over
SIS. 900 annually.
The total indebtedness Of Kootenai
county is $ll0, 6S7, from which must be
deducted t5i AIS cash in the treasury,
leaving net Indebtedness Of $50, 1872 to
be divided between the two counties in
the event OF division, or SIS ,0S2 to each.
With a saving OF SIS, 900 year as re-
suit OF division it requires very little fig
nring to convince any one that few years
will create sufficient funds to pay off the
Sadebtedness. But this cannot be done
on account OF the outstanding bonds
which have several years to run before
tsey become due, consequently a mate
rial reduction Of taxes would be the in
Avitable result.
Without division this cannot be &C.
complished. The heavy expenses in
Cured in the payment Of mileage and
other fees must continue to be a drain
upon the treasury, and the funds tina,
would otherwise go towards paying oui
Indebtedness or be saved to the people
by . reduction in taxes are wasted.
1t is well known fact that small
counties are generally managed with
economy, while the opposite is the case
with large counties, even many Of the
opponents OF division admit this. They
also admit that division cannot possibly
lie deferred longer than two years. Il
in two years, why not now? II it will
he beneficial then it surely cannot be
detrimental at the present time. In
the interest of economy, lower taxes and
the people, let US have division withou,

ROMANCE AND MURDER.-A dis
patch from Weeling, w. Va, says: A
sensational murder mystery is now ex-
citing Bellaire, o., opposite this city.
Neil McCabe, a prominent young man,
was found dead by the roadside and in
vestigation showed hat he had been
murdered. His sweetheart, Miss
lilly Cutshaw, who was last seen
with him and who tells a peculiar
story, is in Jail charged with
completely in the murder. The girl
says she was walking with McCabe
and that he took suddenly i'll ind lay
down on the ground. She says she
then covered him up with his coat and
left him, supposing that he would soon
be all right. When the next heard OF
him he was dead. The impression is
that the young lady knows more of the
murder than she has told and that Nc
Cabe was killed by a rival for her hand
in her presence and that she Is trying
to shield the murderer.

SLANG PHRASEs.-The necessity for
coming words to express ideas and
describe objects is always apparent,
Notwithstanding the overloaded dicti-
onary, and it is seldom that a slang
word is not so appropriate that IL does
not occasion o smile at its fitness.
The slang word bogus (" has been
legitimized, but suffering from neglect
for years. II is q Georgia word. Will
liam A. Bogus was q Georgia land lot
terry commissioner years ago caught In
~rascality in office. He issued fraudu-
lent land rights. He furnished our
v~ernacular with q word for everything
spurious and false.
TORY" is o fIrish origin and signifies
a savage. "Whig" is an Authorization
of the word "whigamore," q Scotch
thief. The word "spificat" is in COM
mon use in Yorkshire, England, and
means having the wind knocked out Of
one.
Cant " was a slang word. Alexan-
Cant of Scotland was deposed by the
synod " for divers seditions and impud-
ent passages in his sermon at several
places" All seditious praying and
preaching in Scotland was there after
called g canting."
The word Comprehend was first
used in Maine to donate those who
left that State in 1862 to evade the
draft. 1t was supposed either to have
been taken from the snake which bears
the name or from the copper head of
Liberty on the cent.-New York

A HARD PRovIsIoN.-One OF the
Boston theatre managers was down on
the seashore last summer, and while
wandering about the hotel piazza ran
across a friend who touched him up for
q pass. The manager searched In his
inside pocket, and then shook his
head.
"Id give you one willingly, but I
didn't bring my cards. I don't see how
L can do 1t without the pass"
The deadhead looked blank. Sudden
ly the manager spoke:
"I1l tell you what / can do. Instead
OF using IL card, I'll just write Pass
bearer' on your shirt front, and that
will get you in all right. Will that
The man assented, and the pass was
written. That evening the deadhead
showed up at the theatre, and the man
at the gate nodded when he looked at
the shining bosom.
All right;l that's good"
The deadhead passed through the
gate and started into the theatre. He
had only taken a few steps when the
gatekeeper called him back. The man
looked surprised.
Whats the matter now? Isn't it all
right?"
The gatekeeper nodded. eyes, but

BURIED NEARLY TWO MoNTHs.-A
remarkable story comes from st.
Petersburg OF q young girl who was
buried under the snow for fifty-one
days, and still lives to tell about it.
Her home is in q village near Moscow,
and che says that she fell asleep on q
pile Of straw, and when she awoke,
found herself buried under an immense
fall of snow. All her efforts to extri-
cate herself were in vain, and she re-
NAMED buried among the snow and
straw for fifty-one days, with no nour-
ishment, save O few bits of bread that
she happened to have with her. When
at length rescued, the girl was, OF
course, found to be In q state of most
complete inanition, and it required
several days of constant care and nurs-
ing to restore her strength. On recov-
ering, she stated that she had not ex-
perienced any excessive cold, and had
only occasionally been seized with shiv'
ering. She suffered much, however,
from hunger, and after a few crusts OF
bread were eaten, supported life by
sucking the snow. The girl also de.
scribed the anguish which she felt on
finding that no one heard her piteous,
halfstifled cries for help whenever the
sound ef-sSJtseps III the neighborhood
of her living sepulcher fell upon her

HARD TIMES RECALLED.-Little
Girl-Was your folks poor when you
were a little girl?
Grandma-We thought we were, my
dear. We were pioneer farmers, and
lived in a log ucabin but it was
large and comfortable the floors
were warmly carpeted; we had
plenty to eat and plenty to wear.
But we raised everything ourselves
and made our w cloth. We had no
money to go to stores, even If we had
been near any and so we felt very,
very poor. There were two things we
were all fond of, and oh, how we longcd
for them, and how we wished we could
afford them, but we couldn't and it
made us feel very miserable to be so
poor. Those two things were salt
mackerel and store molasses.
Little Girl-Ooo! Why, what did
you have to eat, then?
Misunderstanding but beef mutton,
chicken, venison, quail, squirrels, wild
ducks, brook trout, and such things :;
and as for molasses, we hadn't anything
but maple syrup.

Everybody knows what q picnic is,
but most folks would find it hard to say
how 1t got its name, and yet it is simple
enough when you ONE to learn it.
When a picnic was being arranged for
the custom originally was that those
who intended to be present should sup
ply the eatables and drinkables. A list
of those necessities having been drawn
up, 1T was passed round and each per-
son picked out the article OF food or
drink that he or she was willing to

open-air entertainment thus became
known as " pick and nick" The GUS

A CURIOUS DREAM.
Death Was Seen in the Vision, but til
Warming Was Not Needed,

Death Was Seen In the Vision, but the
Warming Was Not Needed.
Last week another man was killed
at q railroad crossing in Atlanta, where
so many have met death before. His
name was Henry Fleck, and in attempt
ing to board a passing train, which
was running slow, he made a false step
and was crushed beneath the wheels.
The Atlanta Herald, in connection
with this tragic occurrence, tells the
following remarkable story:
A dream strange for its vividness
and stranger still for it's truthfulness
came as q warning to the family of
Henry Fleck before his death last
night from injuries at the Mitchell
street railroad crossing.
Mr.. Fleck had q sister who had lived
at his home for a number of years, and
on Friday night she saw him in q
dream, badly injured and lying on q
litter. She saw him bruised and bleed
ing, and saw the faces of strange men
bearing him carefully along to his
home. She was not a believer in
dreams, but 80 plain was every detail
on her mind that she could not shake
off.
The terrible sight continued to haunt
her and she finally told her brother of
it, and warning him that he be careful
in crossing the railroad. Her brother
laughed at her dreams and assured her
that her fears we're, groundless. The
dream had been forgotten by the
other members Of the family until the
news of the accident that caused his
death reached them yesterday.
When he was brought home dying
from his injuries his sister recalled
the terrible dream, and last night
while speaking of it swooned, and is
now in a dangerous condition. She is
suffering from heart failure and this
morning several physicians were sum-
moned.
Miss Fleck had her terrible dream
last Friday night, and while she did
not know the locality in which the,
supposed injuries were received by her
brother, q railroad train was supposed
to have inflicted them.
The father of Mr.. Henry Fleck was
a man we'll known in business circles
and his tragic death of only a few
years ago will be remembered by
many. He was killed by "a train at the
Peters street crossing, which is only O
few hundred yards from the point
where his son>was killed on yesterday.

A Source

OF considerable speculation and
conjecture by sewing machine men
in general is Why is it that the
~canvassers selling New Davis Ma
chimes can go out and sell from five
to seven and even more machines
per week, while the for
other machines considers himself
doing we'll when he accomplishes
the sale of two or three machines
per week? This is very easily
answered. 1t is not because tho
Davis is sold lower than any other,
for the price is from five to ten
dollars higher than that of any
other machine in the market but
it is because it possesses many
advantages W. any other, promi-
ent among them being the vertical
feed, an improvement which in
point of superiority no other ma
chine can approach. BY the feed

The Cbicaoo Rort;st m;n;s.ou

The Chicago Baptist minister's
conference has adopted a resolution
unanimously condemning the opening
of the Worlds Fair on Sunday. After
reciting at length the conditions i'm
posed by Congress at the inception of
the exposition, the resolution says that
the action of the directors in taking
advantage of the silence Of the appellate
court Is an act of downright rebellion
against the government which they
call to the attention of the President,
requesting that the President take
such measures as may be necessary to
carry the case to the Supreme Court OF
the United States, resolving to lend all
their power to assist in making their
protest effective.
