STORM Is KING.
A Dakota Blizzard Pays % an On.
pleasant Visit.

The past week win be recorded az one
of the most stormy that this section has
experienced for many years. Beginning
with last Sunday evening the mercury
dropped several notches and the cold
became intense. A heavy wind storm
prevailed during the night, resulting in
much damage to the steamboat lines.
The heaviest losers were the Northern
Pacific and Peoples Transportation
companies. The George Oakes broke
her m0orings and swung around broad
side. against the pilings. which tore
away q portion of the ladies' cabin.
The hog chains supporting the bow and
stern OF the boat gave way, throwing
her out Of shape, and necessitating the
resetting and plumbing of all the ma
chinery. The damage to the boat is
estimated at $500. The steamers Kor-
wine and Volunteer, belonging to the
Peoples Transportation Co., were both
filled with water and sank in badly
damaged condition. The cabins of both
boats are wrecked to such an extent
that they must be rebuilt. The boats
are lying in few feet of water near the
dock. The wharf-boat of the company
broke her fastenings and drifted ashore.
The total loss viii be about 800. Other
smaller losses resulted from the storm.
During the week a continuous snow
storm has been in progress, blockading
the railroad and interfering with bust
ness generally. On Wednesday it
its height in the form of a
genuine Dakota blizzard, the mercury
IS degrees below zero, an
experience new to many residents OF
The city. The weather has been uE-
usually cold aud resulted in freezing
he lake over, something that does not
often happen.
Wednesday evenings train from Spo-
zane was abandoned, aud the company
considerable difficulty in
opening the road, the cuts on the prairie
'eing completely filled with snow.

Railway through the military reserva-

this week and forwarded to Spokane
for the signature of the officers of the

secretary of war.
Petitions are being circulated and
generally signed asking the government
to establish a triweekly mail route from
this city to st. Joe by way of the lake
and ST. Joe river. The mail facilities
at present are very poor. and the estab-
lishment of the new route would GER

Two xeotenai County cases Decided in the
Supreme Court.

/ SaFaoA@S WITT
The supreme court has handed down
two decisions in cases appealed from
the district court of this county.
In the case of Patrick Flood VS.. WI.
Mcclure the court reversed the judg-
ment Of the lower court and remanded
the case for new trial. Flood brought
suit against Mcclure for $3.50 damages
claimed by reason Of Mcclure, as sheriff.
having levied on property claimed by
Flood under an execution issued in the
cause Of Liebc & Co. VS.. Henry Farley.
The answer of Mcclure alleged that the
property belonged to Farley. but was
transferred to Flood for fraudulent
purposes. The jury rendered a verdict
for $500 in favor of Flood. Mcclure
moved for new trial, which was denied.
and an appeal was taken on Is specified
errors. The first and chief is the mis-
conduct of the jury in arriving at their
verdict 10y resoriing to determination
thereof by chance. Three of the jurors
swore that the jury arrived at its YER
dict by each juror writing on paper
the amount OF damage he considered
just, adding these sums and dividing by
IL, the number of jurors. At least one
of the jurors wrote $500, which was
more than Flood asked.
In the case of James Casey VS.. Robert
Miller. Justice Sullivan delivered the
decision reversing the judgment of the
court below and ordering a new trial.
The district court Judgment in this case
was In favor Of Miller. The appeals
were prepared and submitted by II. L.
Mcfarland, of this city. The decision
in the Flood case settles an important
point, and is quite v:c:eiy fer Mr.. |
who is the successful a,,or-
ney in both cases.

We Americans are proud, and justly
20, Of our reputation for hospitality, but
there is sometimes too much of a good
thing, and we are often tempted into an
exaggeration Of this virtue. In many
well meaning hostesses there seems to
exist fear that their guests may find
some stray moments during the day for
which no entertainment has been pro-
vided. The unfortunate guests are kept
busy every minute "being entertained"
until physically and mentally they are
exhausted. Not a few people object to
making visits, and simply for the reason
that they are never left to themselves,
never have any time to occupy as they
choose.
English hostesses are much more SEN
dble in this respect. In England guest
In country house has good part Of
the day to dispose Of as he or she may
fancy, and as a result, pleasant, home
like feeling much to be desired pervades
the atmosphere Of the house. Neither
host nor hostess appears to be laboring
to provide perpetual entertainment for
their guests, and the latter have plenty
Of time to write their letters, read their
books and enjoy other like peaceful
amusements. In town house mascu-
line visitor receives a night key as
pleasant intimstion he is to go and come
as he hkes.-New York Tribune.

Earir nl.lnr M the nIetropell..

Two women who spent a week in New
York the last of June kept quiet about
one Of their experiences until day OF
two ago, when they confessed the joke
too good to keep.
They were aunt and niece and entirely
unused TO the city. On the morning after
their arrival the niece discovered on con-
sulting her watch that they had slept
late, as it was $50, and waking her aunt
the two dressed as fast as possible and
started for breakfast.
They had rooms in West Sixteenth
street near Fifth avenue and intended to
breakfast at the st. Denis. They walked
on placidly, struck with the quiet Of a
great city on a summers morning and
interestedly looking about them till it
seemed as if they had accomplished dis
tauce enough to reach their destination.
the neighborhood, too, had grown very
common and shabby, and at last they ac-
costed working1nan whom they met.
He laughed when he heard that they
wanted Broadway.
I'm block more" said he, you'll be
at the river" and true enough they were
close upon Eleventh avenue.
They turned, and having no idea Of
the actual distance walked all the way
east to the hotel, wondering and COM
menting on the remarkable absence Of
hustle in the streets.
When they finally reached the restau-
rant, it was to find it almost deserted,
and their inquiry for breakfast met with
word that they would have to wait for it
a short time.
"Wait!" exclaimed the aunt, "why,
what time do New Workers breakfast"
mot many" replied the man, "at
quarter past g."
The nearsighted niece had read the
watch wrong and had got her aunt and
herself up at 20 minutes to 4 o'clock

slowed. In answer to this will say
The letters o. p. F. stand for Old Pub

applied to James Buchanan. He be-
slowed the nickname upon himself in his
annual message to congress in 1859, in
which the following expression occurred;
"This advice proceeds from the heart
of an old public functionary, one whose

simultaneously. After such a contest,
however, IL IL said that he cannot sleep

for weeks, declaring that after a hard
fought match the sight Of chessboard
becomes hateful TO him. 1t is said that
the hrst time he ever played steinitz was
at club, whore some friends anxious
for sport managed TO bring them to-
gether. Their identity was kept secret

TIE LABOR MARKET.

Organic d labor, or any labor, makes
. serious mistake in opposing reduc-
tions of wages BY any threats Of force.
The proposition oftbe locomotive engin-
eer to order a general strike at 10 per
cant. reduction would be serious blum
der lf ever carried out. Labor should
meet the employer half way in his ef-
forts TO restore prosperous times. 1t is
only by the most careful management
that employers can get along at All and
meet their pay-rolls. Capital VIII re
sist Intimidation in any form.
The labor interests Of the country re-
ceived 8 terrible blow last fall when,
under the lead o. hired manipulators,
the labor organizations took a hand in
the presidential election. Following
the incendiary labor riots at Home
stead and the fight Of the printers
unions on the Republican candidate
for vice president, nearly all the labor
vote in the large cities, much of IL for
eign sociallstic and anarchistie in its
composition, was cast with the Wall
street crowd against Harrison, and for
the Weaver-Clevelan fusion ticket.
The result has been black eye to iD-
dustry. There is probably more uneni-
ployed labor in the country today than
in ten years before. Innocent women
and children suffer for the necessaTies
of life while labor agitatOrs and walk
ing delegates try to tell the crowds in
the beer saloons Of the big cities what
has struck them. Too feeble to strike,
and too numerous TO live, the unem-
ployed can study the situation.
