LAST week the Post Falls Post
boasted of its loyalty to the people of
Kootenai county and claimed to be
the guardian of their interests. In
the same issue it advocates the loca-
ton Of the school Of mines in Sho-
shone county, stating that this city
is not a fit place for it. Rather
than see it located here it prefers to
have the school go to some 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 a known enemy? Feed a
snake and in return receive its
poisonous bite for your palms.

RATHDRuM RESOLUTIONS.

The citizens of Rathdrum, the
present county seat of Kootenai
county, have p ssed resolutions OPP
posing county division in answer to
the resolutions passed by the citizens
Of the northern part of the county
favoring division.
We have read the resolutions with
some care and with the result of a
stronger conviction than ever in ia
vor of county division. Those who
got up the resolutions did their
work as well as it could be done.
They have the misfortune to be on
the wrong side, and when this is the
case nothing much should be ex-
pected.
Measurements as to the taxable
wealth and population Of this part
of the county are made the bases of
the conclusions set forth in the res
olutions. AS to those misstatements
we can only say they are begotten
of a selfish desire to retain the coun-
ty seat, in spite of the wishes and
convenience Of the mass Of the pop
ulation. 1t is notour desire to take
up the various misstatements or the
deductions based upon them. We
are perfectly willing to rest the
whole matter on the resources Of the
county and the two sets Of resolu-
tons, passed respectively at Bon
ner's Ferry and at Rathdrum.

A Man of Many Meiees.

The story that an eminent border
leader and hero, Captain Hatfield, of
the West Virginia line, who escaped all
the bullets of the McCoys during the
Tug Fork tug of war, which deluged
some of our Kentucky soil with a very
bad article of Flood several years ago,
had passed in his checks during poker
game in the wilds of West Virginia is
Indignantly denied by the friends of that
gentleman. They assert that Captain
Hatfield is a reformed man and no
longer exposed to the casualties of feuds
and poker games. The Williamson CIV.
Va New Era, which makes a small
circle of light in the dense darkness of
the Hatfield section, refers to the re-
ported death of the gallant hero and
says:
We can most emphatically deny the
above, and will state that Captain Hat
field has been an invalid for the past six
months from the effects of wound re-
ceived when boy. We understand that
he has professed religion, and that no
poker games have | zen played in his
house for some time 1t is unfair to even
such men as he to circulate reports as
the above without any foundation

the scholars began to have a tolerable

asked in the course of one lecture,
''would you rather have a republic or
the present form of government"

A New Geographics. Fault.

At the annual meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement of Sci
ence, DR.. G. G. Knott gave report
on earthquake phenome na in Japan.
Among effects of the recent severe earth
quake were mentioned the depression of
valley by about nineteen feet for a
distance of thirty miles-thus forming
great geographical fault-together with
the destruction of mills, bridges and
towns, and the curving of railway line
running along an embankment and
bridge in the path of the earthquake. 1t
is stated incidentally that in many earth
quakes-though not in this one-oil is
overturned, and by catching fire causes
moro damage than the earthquake itself.

What Susan Saw.

A chambermaid at the Palmer House
yesterday thought she saw snakes, bugs,
turtles, scorpions, lizards and all I'M
canny things that creep and crawl and
bite and sting.
In the fleeing moment that elapsed
between the time she saw the vile crawl
ing things aid the screams that she let
go, string and all, she thought she saw
the doors Of Keeley's open to receive her,
and conscious of her own abstemious-
ness and antibibulousness she believed
the curse had come to her from the third
or fourth generation gone.
The door had closed behind her. and
she was well into the center of the room,
near the bed, when a snake gGded across
the floor and disappeared under it. Then
a lizard and big beetle barred her pas
sage to the door. Next big turtle, on
its back, ope1ed its jaws, as she thought,
viciously, ami paved the air in a vain
effort to get uron its feet.
What was doing all this time?
Why, she was standing in the middle
Of the floor, every muscle paralyzed save
the vocal ones. A locomotive footing
for COW to get off the track was be-
hind the distance pole when Susan let
loose a yell. Then there was fall, a
squirm, gurgle and all was still, while
the bugs entangled themselves in SUI
sans hair and the snakes kissed her
cheeks with their forked tongues.
Now was the appointed time for the
rescuer to come, and he came. He
picked up the reptiles and the bugs and
the rats, and unwinding them threw
them like dead things upon the bed.
The cause of all this trouble was Mr..
Dick Trumbull, traveller for New
York toy house. He had had customer
in his room, and for his benefit had set
the machinery inside the varmints go
ing, and it had not run down when he
| escorted his visitor down stairs. Then
Susan came in.-Chicago inter Ocean.

Forgot His Military Duty.

Lieutenant Colonel Villiers, deputy
adjutant general at Winnipeg, has been
suspended by Major General Herbert for
absence from his post without leave.
There is something approaching grim
joke in connection with this suspension.
The colonel, who is of rather mature
years. recently married charming
young lady much his junior, and the
event appears to have excited him SO
much that he went off on his honeymoon
without going through the necessary
form of obtaining leave of absence.-Ot-

was used at his funeral, and his coffin
was Of open trellis work, after sketch

A Fair OF Nations.

At fair recently held by some school
girls each table represented different
nationality, carrying out as far as posi-
BILE the costumes as well as the eharac-
teristic quality Of the articles for sale.
The japanese table was especially at.
tractive, and so were the oriental looking
little women who tended it in their how-
cred and flowing gowns under their gay
paper parasols, and they sold out all
their lacquered boxes and fans and other
articles adorned with Celestial eyed Ia
dies and pagodas in curious perspective
before some of the other tables were hall
cleared.
To add to their realistic appearance
they had hunted up Japanese woman
high priestess of the art Of hair dress
ing. and engaged her to do" their hal,
for the occasion. She accomplished the
rite in some mysterious way, using not
single hairpin in the operation. The
rolls of hair on either side of the fresh
young faces looked as loose and artistic
as if they were on the point of cemine
down after the style approved by the In
cessantly swooning heroine Of the move
of half century ago. and yet staid al
firmly In place as If they had been carved
in dusky marble.
When the girls demolished the edifict
on their heads. they determined to Learn
the principle of their architecture, bu,
the attempt was vain. With slight
manipulation the end Of q string ap
peared, and when this was pulled out
the whole structure tottered and fell
down their backs.-Philadelphi Press.

A NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.

ANATlONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.
In a speech in the Senate in 1887,
John G. Calhoun said:
"lt appears to me, after bestowing
the best reflection | can give no SUBJ
ject, that no convertible paper-that
is, paper whose credit rests on a
promise to PAYS suitable for cur
rency. Bank paper is cheap to those
who make it, but dear, very dear, to
those who use it. On the other
hand, a national currency, while it
would greatly facilitate its financial
operation, would cost nothing or next
to nothing, and would, of course,
add much to the cost of production,
which would give to every branch of
our industries great advantages both
at home and abroad. And | now
undertake to affirm without the least
fear | can be answered, that paper
issued by the government with a
simple promise to receive it for all
dues would form a perfect paper cir
culation which could not be abused
by the government; that it would
be as uniform in value as the metals
themselves; and / shall be able to
prove that it is within the constitu-
| ton and lowers of congress to use
such a paper according to the most
rlgid rule of constituting the constitu.
ton" ltf.l

Mascasui and LeoncavaIlo.

In one particular Signor Mascagni Is
certainly the very antithesis of his fellow
countryman Leoncavallo, who found 30
little pleasure in society that at dinner
party given in his honor he was the only
guest who failed to keep the engage
ment. Mascagni has been everywhere.
He has dined with the Prince of Wales
and has rounded off his experiences by
spending an evening with Mr.. Alfred de
Rothschild. 1t must not be understood,
however, that Signor Leoneavallo was
unapproachable, and as a mark of his
amiability it may be mentioned that he
left behind him when he left London the
manuscript of a song specially written
for popular singer. Signor Mascagni
has found no time for that sort of thing.
