CHAPTER Xxx.
FLIGHT.

It was nine o'clock in the evening
Major Taliaferro and his guests were
sitting in his Office room chatting. A
clatter of horses hoofs was heard at the
front of the house and some one dis
mounted. In another moment there was
tramp Of cavalry boots in the hall: all
turned to the open door-and there stood
Captain Cameron Fitz Hugh.
For a moment he regarded Mark and
Laura sternly; then advancing a few
steps he bowed low to Laura.
Captain" said the major rising, 81
suppose it is useless to deny to this LADY
and gentleman that l deemed it my duty
to make sure of their identity before al
lowing them to pass. The family to
which they claim to belong is known to
you; therefore sent to you for informa-
ton. see you have answered my in
quiry in person. If you vouch for them
I shall be happy to pass them in the
morning, and shall apologize for their
detention at the same time-my excuse
being the cause we serve"
All eyes were fixed on Fitz Hugh,
Marks and Laura's with i'll concealed
anxiety.
''This was Miss Fain," said Fitz Hugh.
s'She would not be travelling as any
mans wife unless she were married to
him. If you detain them, you must do
so on your own responsibility"
Both Mark and Laura drew a sigh of
relief.
Il have no desire to detain them, -
said Taliaferro, latter what you have
said, but it is altogether too late for
them to proceed tonight. The only
amends can make for discommoding
them is to make them comfortable.
Mrs. Green, your room is ready for you. -

TOWN MEETINGS.
Results of Some of the Elections Held

Results of Some of the Elections Held
Last Tuesday.
The GAZETTE is able this week to
give practically complete list of all
the officers elected at the annual town
meetings on Tuesday, March IA. The
list was obtained from the town clerks
after considerable trouble. In addi-
ton to this the publishers have pre-
pared list of all the new town clerks
giving the towns they represent and
their postoffice addresses. These will
be printed on handsome wedding
bristol cards, just right for Office use,
and sold for 25 cents per card.
In the town of Paxton curious
election incident occurred. John w.
March received II votes for chairman
of the town board and 10 votes for
supervisor, while Henry Andrew re-
ceived II votes for chairman alone.
Co. Attorney Madigan has decided
that there was no election, but that
Mr.. March would serve as chairman
by virtue of his having held the Office,
and the failure of the two candidates
to meet on election day and draw lots
for the place.
In the village of Walnut Grove the
question of license was voted on, the
result being fourteen for license and
rs against. Walnut will be dry for
the ensuing year.

Another County Heard From
The Idsho Hydraulic Gold Nine

The Idsho Hydraulic Gold Miner
of Salnon City, Lemhi county, de.
voted column of its valuable (?)
space to the KEYSTONE last week fol
opposing the proposition for the
state to build roads for localities
or individuals. It says, 1--WE wish
to inform the KEYSTONE that there
are other places in Idaho besides
Ketchum-and its suburbs" This
is really news to most people in
Idaho az Salmon City has been
heretofore classed as among our
suburbs. We would gently suggest
to our colicky friend that Ketchum
is not asking the State to build any
wagon roads for it or any OF ita
suburbs, she is able to attend to
those little matters. If the road
that the Miner wants will be OF
such great benefit to Lemhi and
Custer counties there is no law why
they should not build it, but other
counties object paying for it, as
they can receive no particular ben
eft from it. Our dear bucolic CO.
temporary says "we do not as a
county like to always be kept at the
foot of the class" True merit
always wins and if our Salmon
friends will develope those wonder
full resources the Miner tells about,
and we don't believe it tells half,
they may some day get up aside
Ketchum at the head of the class.
No, bub, we don't blame you for
trying to get all you can, but don't
accuse Ketchum of trying to grab
the state funds just because we
have the power.

Gov. Mcconnell on Silver,

4 Governor Mcconnell recently r.
ceived a letter from Senator Stew
art, of Nevada, says the Statesman
asking his opinion as to the aver
age price Of producing an ounce o
silver, which opinion Senator Stew
art desires to incorporate in
speech he intends making soon il
the senate in behalf of the whit
metal.
Senator Stewart could have ap
piled to no better source for authen
tic information. Governor McCon
nell has been interested in mimi,
for many years, and in his answe
to the silver Senator, he pays tn
miner and prospector deserved
tribute. The Governor says: 8"
have your favor Of the 18th inst.
asking my views as to the average
cost reproducing an ounce of sill,
yer. l have spent over 80 years in
the silver producing districts O
America, and l believe that wher
you place the average price of pro
duction at $3.50 to 81 per ounce
you underrate it.
Among the vast army of miners
and prospectors who have spen,
their lives in searching for the pre-.
cious white metal, the fewest mum.
Der of them have succeeded in tax.
ing out of the country the amount
of money they brought with them.
"a few bonanza claims have
made and are making splendid
showings; but to-day on almost
every hillside, from Mexico in the
south to British Columbia in the
north, are to be found tunnels and
shafts almost innumerable which
will ever remain as monuments of
the danger of this method of secur-
ing riches.
sin the war department at Wash
ington are recorded the names of
the thousands who have gone out
from time to time to do battle for
their country, and grateful people
to-day, as they should, are paying
out by the millions, the wealth of
this nation as q tribute for their
loyal services; but no record has
been kept of those who went from
the shores Of New England, or the
glades of Florida, from every state,
city, village and hamlet in this IN
ion to delve among the rocky cliffs
and canyons of the far west for the
now despised white metal, which
has, in common with gold, done so
much to place this Union upon its
present pinnacle Of greatness.
upon every hillside from the
Rio Grande in the south to the
kootenai and Columbia on the
north, are hundreds of graves which
are void of even the single inscrip-
zion unknown" In every village
and hamlet in America may be
found the old veterans. No CRATE
full country is engaged in building
to their memory, nor
are the vaults of the national treas
ury opened that hunger may be
kept from their doors, yet | pre-
dict that the time will come when
they will find place in the CRATE
full heart of the American people,
md that history, though late, will
yet record the story of the service
hey rendered in building up the
greatest nation on earth"
