currency question, said he thought Cleve-
land was going to have a hot time trying
to get congress TO legislate to suit him
in an Ell deavor to have the Sherman sill

II believe the majority in congress is
for free silver, and If the president does
not give the members what they desire

Fatal End of a Drunken FrOlic.

HALEY, IDAHO. March 17-At o'clock
this morning, in the bar room of the
Star brewery, this city, Lei Hallstrom,
& Finlander, aged 80 years, was shot and
instantly killed by John Hendell, the
proprietor of the brewery. Halstrom
and other Firms went TO the brewery at
midnight and imbibed freely of beer
without molestation until O'Clock, when
Hendell decided to close the house and
ordered his patrons out. This was dis
regarded by the now we'll intoxicated
men, who desired to continue the drunken
fTolic till daylight This led to per
sonal encounter between Hendell and
Hallstrom. The latter being much the
stronger man, Hendell broke away and
ran for pistol At the same time Louis
Schroeder, an attache of the brewery, also
appeared on the scene with a gun and
both he and Hendell fired a shot each
and instantly killed Hallstrom. The
sheriff was on hand promptly and lodged
both Hendell and Schroeder in Jail. AT
the coroner's inquest held today before
Justice Erwin johnson, the jury returned
the verdict that Halls,rom met his death
with bullet from pistol in John Hen
deIl's hand. Hendell does not appear to
realize the gravity of the situation. He
has violent temper He is thought by
some TO be insane. Ha!strom came to
America eleven years ago. He has
worked in the MINES OF Park Citv, Utah,
where his brother Sam DOW resides. He
was naturally inclined to be ugly when
drunk.

ploded in the Ancinl Matter palace, the
official residence of United States Minis

damage was done to the building. No
cause is known for the deed.
The building was occupied by two
other families besides that OF United

outrage was perpetra,ed IN the same
building in 1892, and as Porter bad only
engaged the building for occupation in

motive for causing the explosion was to-

proprietor of the place, irrespective of
whether the residents were injured or
rot. This was the motive suspected at
the time of the first explosion, and there
is no reason to take different view.

New YORK, March 18-The Wall
Street Journal says: 1--WE understand the
change OF plan IN connection with the
Northern Pacifc's debt is full of signifi-
cance, and means also change, sooner
or later, IN the management of the com
pany. The verdict seems to be that Vii
lard must go. Not only public sentiment
has made this course very clear, but the
people who propose to lift the company
out of its present difficulties from its
floating debt made this condition abso
lutte before they will proceed any fur
ther in the matter. Inasmuch as the fu
ture good of the Northern Pacifc,s debt
demands immediate action on the ques-
tion of the floating debt, 1t is thought
Willard will sacrifice personal pride in
the matter for the good of the company"

wing dam should be built across the creek,
