which ran through a thirty acre hog
lot. His shot gun which he always
carried with him was found on the
ground loaded.
The old gentleman was 79 years
of age, and was born in North Caro-.
lima but has lived for many years in
this county and Bates. As he was
subject to heart disease it is thought
he had an attack while crossing the
lot and the hogs, OF which there
were $50 in the lot, finding his body
devoured it. The bones were gnaw
ed clean.

NUMBER SO

for the best between this and the
time of harvesting abroad, the United
States may be called upon to make up
a serious crop deficit, and to supply
more than for several years past to
the worlds consumption, There are
calculations which show that the def
cit this season will range all the way
from 60,000,000 to 230,000,000 bushels
above the ordinary foreign demand;
but, as we have said, we regard all
these mathematical proXimati0ns as
worthless, because the data from
which they are drawn are arbitrary
and assumed. But the general condi-
tions of the cereal trade are observa-
BILE, and these point toward better
market for the American stuff and a
recovery in price. Among the many
indications of returning prosperity
there are few to be more relied upon
than the prospect Of good crop in
the northwest, and the reasonable
certainty that it will find sale at
more remunerative prices than those
of recent years."

The denomination of Gov. McKin-
ley Thursday by OhioRepublicans was
an expected event and the perform
ing of the act by reclamation, shows
that the differences which have crept
into the party there in the past have
been put one side, and the best inter-
ests of the people and the party only
engrosses their attention. The reso-
buttons are clear cut and ringing and
reaffirm the position of the party in
favor of protective tariff and asound
financial system. The fight there
will no doubt be hot one, but with
projections great champion as their
leader, and presenting solid front to
the opposition, the Republicans of
Ohio ought to win grand victory.

THE New Nork World figures up
that during the last five years the
United States exported $260,000, 900 of
merchandise more than has been i'm
ported, and also exported $40, 900
of gold, and consequently argues that
the country has lost total of $780,
100000 and claims that this has been
brought about by protection. There
are two or three things however. that
that the World does not take into
consideration. One is the large pay
ment the United States is obliged to
make each year for the carrying of it's
ocean freight. This amounts to a
large sum annually, and is really a
dead loss to the nation, as it might be
retained at home, had proper encour-
agement been given to American ship
ping. Then large amount Of money
or it's equivalent goes abroad every
year, to pay interest on foreign capt.
tai which is invested here. Again, un-
doubtedly, good many securities,
held abroad, have been taken off dur
ing the past five years and it can
hardly be claimed that the payment
of debts is money lost. 1t is general
ly regarded as an evidence of prosper
| iuy Undoubtedly goodly portion
of the sum which the World claims
has been lost, represents debts paid
! and denotes a greater prosperity than
would be the case were it for goods
| imported, as would be the case if the
free trade theories of the World were
] in force.

THE HILL CELEBRATION.

The Hill celebration which was
nificance than the mere respect which
the people of a city are often moved
to pay to some leading citizen in their
midst, who has performed some act
redounding to the credit, honor, or
advantage of his city. James J. Hill
has done all this and more. He has
performed work which will exert
most powerful influence in the future
development of the western half Of
this continent, and more or less effect
the east. The full significance of the
completion of the Great Northern
road to the Pacific coast is no doubt
somewhat neutralized by the fact
there is already parallel line cross
ing the continent through the same
states, but those acquainted with the
natural resources of the country
through which these lines pass, re-
cognize the fact that there is plenty
of room for both and that before
many years elapse, they will in no
possible manner crowd each other.
That Mr.. Hill richly deserves the
honor and congratulations which are
being showered upon him by .his fell
low citizens, no one will deny. The
result of his great work illustrates
the vast power there is in man to &C.
complish that which seems we'll nigh
impossible. In some men this power
lies dormant and is meyer cultivated,
and the world loses that which ought
to have been eXerted in it's behalf,
simply because the opportunity, to
their mind, never presented itself.
But in Mr.. Hill this power was culti-
waited to the full extent. He did not
wait, MicaWber-like. for the world to
give him an opportunity, Eut went to
work and made it for himself, and for
that reason he is honored today.
In the past men have won great
conQuests by force of arms, but this
conquest which has been won by push
ing bands of steel through wilder
ness, instead of through the flesh OF
brother man, will stand the equal OF
them all and far more nobly because
of the peaceful influence it will exert
upon the world. 1t stands as a great
accomplishment because it is the
work of single man, without gov
eminent aid, pushing line of road
through 1000 miles of comparative
| wilderness.
1t is well that the appreciation OF
| this work be shown while he who di
| rected it still lives.

The State Supreme court handed
down decision yesterday in case
taken from Waseca, which will have
quite al important bearing upon GER
tain kind of railroad accidents. The
case was against the NJ. & ST. L. Ry.,
and was prosecuted by the admins
traitor of the estate of party who
was killed by car while the train
hands were engaged in making what
i sknown as flying switch over the
racks at street crossing. The en-
CINE had passed, and the party killed
was standing on or near the track,
was knocked down by the Car as it
came along, receiving fatal in
juries. The court held that one
attempting to cross railroad
track, at street crossing with 0ut
looking to see if there is danger, when
there is nothing to prevent his look
ing, and when by looking he must
have discovered the danger in time to
avert it, is guilty Of negligence. A
verdict was rendered for the railroad.

SPEAKING of the attendance at the
Worlds Fair, and the probability that
with warmer weather and lower rail-
way rates, the attendance would
reach and exceed 100000 daily, the
Duluth NeaCs Tribune says: '"There
should be an attendance averaging
much more than that, for there can
be no question that the fair is the
most wonderful achievement Of the
century; that it is an exposition which
deserves the very largest patronage,
and one that the people ought to be
able to see. 1t will be liberal edu-
cation for thousands, and will advance
the sum of knowledge in our country
to wonderful extent.

DIR. BRIGGS having been turned out
of the Presbyterian church, the ques-
tion now is what will be done with
the 116 persons of the General Assem-
bly, who voted in his favor? If he is
guilty of heresy, and they voted to
sustain him, they must believe as he
does, and therefore in view of the
verdict, are equally guilty. Probably
they will conclude that the wisest
way is to drop the matter as quietly
as possible.

The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1893-02-11

A lapidary company has been organ
lied at Boise City which proposes to ss-
tablish works at Nampa for cutting
opals, sapphires and other gems from
the Owyhee opal mines and diamond
fields. The company has been prom
ised water power by the citizens of
Nampa. But we fail to see the neces-
sity for $500, 900 organization for such
an enterprise. 1t will make top-heayy
concern, with TOO many formalities and
too much red tape about it to be a sue
cess. The machinery to grind opals is
cheap and simple. To cut diamonds,
sapphires, emeralds and other gems is
more matter of skill in the workmen
than in slaborateness or cost of machin-
cry. The power required in all these
operations is Insignificant. Set up
shop, employ few skilled workmen
and let the establishment grow upon its
merits. There is a good opening at
Nampa for shop of this character, and
when this work can be done there it will
help the opal and gem hunting indus
tries if the concern is not overloaded
with all the paraphenalia of FIVE hun
dred thousand dollar corporation. Don't
try to bore with too big an auger.

returning at late hour that night. A
rumor got out that the young couple
had gone up there for the purpose of

To every one who met him the next
day the young man plead guilty to the
impeachment and set up the cigars
upon receiving congratulations. The
young lady accepted all the wishes for
her future happiness with a gracious
ness andlcomplaicence quite as if the ru-
NOR were true. The following night the
coal oil can brigade came out in force
and treated them to some of their loud

out that the young couple had fooled
