THE FLYING FISH.
SoIao Intoresting Fa.ts Concerning This
~ Curious Creature.


"A very common error .., made in
natural histories where this fish is
mentioned is that it docs not fly. "Its
supposed flight is nothing more than n
prolonged leap; it cannot deviate from
"a straight line, and cannot rise n
second time witho1t entering the
water" This, briefly, is the sort of
thing one meets with in textbooks
where reference is made to this fish.
The simplest way of dealing with it
rs the professors method of answering
the query of the French academy
whether their definition of a crab was
correct. The, story is so well known
that it, does not need repetition. AS
the result of personal observation ex-
tending over a good many years, I
assert that the exocetus does hy. 80 ~
l have often seen, says writer in
Chambers Magazine, q flying fish rise
two hundred yards off, describe q
semi-circle, and, meeting the ship,
rise twenty feet in the air pcrpcndicu-
larry, at tho same time, darting off at
right angles to its previous course.
Then, after another long flight, when
just about to enter the water, the gap

sea gave it pause and it rose again, re-

lodgment in the heart of Africa; bnt if
they remain there. they themselves
eventually undergo absorption into the
primitive clements of the population
or suffer total extinction.
Nature has. in short. marked off

the black races. European travellers >.
traders, missionaries, conquerors may
at their will and at their peril pene-
trate into this dark sanctuary, but
their sojourn is for q day. and on the
morrow the faint traces of their pas

growths of harbarism. >Grudgingly as
1t is sometimes conceded. it is never
theless a fact that the bulk of the con.
tinent of Africa is still untouched by
western civilization. I. for one, can
not believe that Africa will ever be
Europeanized or brought within the
pale Of western progress. For, in or.
der that Africa may progress. it is alb
solutcly ESSENTIAL that it be developed
along natural lines: but. us yet, the

The Sun says the populists are
dangerous because they want to
change the present SYSTEMS Of gov
eminent. Shoot them down. ANY
man or party Of men who have the
gall or disposition to think of
changing the present glorious sys-
TENS and conditions are traitors
and anarchists and ought to be an
anhilated. If they won't quietly
submit to starve and see millions
of fellow creatures ground under for
the edification of few greedy mo-
nopolists without protesting and
trying to change things for the bet
ter, they are not loyal to the govern
ment. If corporations and trusts
have by corrupt methods gained
control of things and are inclined
to force the producing masses into
wage slavery, turn the government
into worse than q monarchy and
blot out all vestige of freedom and
and finally obliterate civil
ization, and if any patriotic citizen,
with the spirit Of our forefathers,
dares to object and advocate another
and better way of running things,
shoot him down on the spot; he is
an anarchist. He may favor true
government, but he is q kicker
against government of, for and by

America. Let him get off on an
island of his own and establish his

A Good One on sharp.

A good story is going the rounds.
1t is on N. J. Sharp, of Custer
county:
At populist meeting in Challis,
recently, he excoriated the Repub-
licans and democrats, saddling up
on them and the ills with which
We are afflicted. He concluded BY
saying:
I'm this county, we are better of,
because we are populists. No man
is hungry here. None need go
hungry. If any man wants a meal,
let him call on Sharp for four-bits
to get it,"
At tho close of the meeting
Colonel Sharp stepped out on the
side walk. A bum addressed him
thus:
Colonel, I'm very hungry, and
would like four-bits."
"You id fooli" replied the
Colonel. THAT don't go, any more.
It only went while 1 was on the
platform. Boise Democrat.

Death Of Robert IcLsary.

Death Of Robert 1c1sary.
/ Another old timer Of w GOD Rive
and man who while living enjoyed
the universal respect and-estrem O
his fellow associates and acQuaint
ances, has passed over the dark
chasm OF death to eternity.
Robert McLeary was found in q
helpless and uncOnsclouS.c condition
by neighboring miner in his cabin
at the Elkhorn on Monday evening
the 18th inst. Others were immedi.
ately summoned and the best avail.
able medical aid procured, but the
unfortunate man was already be.
yond the pale of mortal aid and
passed this life at 6 O'Clock on the
following Tuesday morning.
Kind friends had watched over
him constantly from the first dis.
covery of his unfortunate condition
and when the news of his death
reached Ketchum others Joined and
assisted in removing the remains
to this place. where the body was
properly laid out in the Odd Fell
lows Hall. 1t was at first intended
to give him a Masonic burial here
but later messages were received
from his brother, James McLeary,
at Hannibal, Mo-, to ship the body
to that place, which was complied
with on Wednesday last, large
number of friends following the
remains of deceased to the depot
at / 80 p. NJ.
Robert McLeary was formerly OF
Hannibal, Mo-, and supposed to be
81 years of age. He came from the
Black Hills to Wood River in 1880
and early took up his residence in
Ketchum, where he lived until his
death. He was we'll and favorably
known here, having shown by every
act of life the unmistakable signs
of an upright character and a gen.
erous heart.
Deceased was among the earliest
pioneers who braved the storms and
endured the hardships of a pros
pector's life in the mountains and
was, fortunately, one of the first to
meet with reward. He was one oil
the original locators of the famous
Muldoon mine, which was sold to
the Philadelphia Company, and
Melted him a small fortune. He
was also interested in another valu-
able claim on Warm Springs Greek,
which returned him considerable
amount, and later became interest
I'D on Elkhorn hill where he located
the Badger and Junietta mines, for
which, two years ago, he refused a
cash offer of $4,000 and which be
still held at his death.
Deceased had been in town sew
eral times last week and was ap-
in fair health. He spent
Sunday with Mr.. John Dunlap at
the Baltimore mine, and probably
his last conversation was with that
gentleman on Sunday evening.
Just what the immediate cause of
his death was cannot be ascertained,
it is generally supposed he
vas stricken down with paralysis
from general ill-health
md possibly some constitutional
Election. Il
The KEYSTONE takes the liberty
n behalf of the bereaved and dis
ant relatives of deceased, and in
he name of human friendship to
ender thanks to Mr.. VIM. II. Rey- 1
Odds and other friends of deceased i

Deceased leaves a brother, two I

Democratic State Convention.

The democratic state convention
met at Boise Wednesday. There
were about 100 delegates in attend
ance. Joseph C. Rich was selected
as temporary chairman. There was
an exciting contest over creden-
tails, eighteen proxies from Sho-
shone county having been declared
irregular.
A lively wrangle was caused by
the introduction of resolution to
give Cleveland an unqualified en-
dorsement. The resolution was
fiercely combatted by several, one
member of the committee declaring
he would bring in q minority report
if the resolution was adopted and
present his reasons to the coEven-
ton, backed up by Cleveland's rec
ord. The opposition were willing,
however. to indorse Cleveland in so
far as he had strictly adhered to
the Chicago platform, and plank
e,nbodying that idea was adopted.
The indications are that it will
be close contest between Steven
ION and Ballentine for governor.
The House passed the Senate
Tariff bill, August 18th, by q vote
of 1872 to 125. eleven democrats
voting against the bill. Separate
bills providing for free iron ore,
coal, sugar and barbed wire were
then introduced and passed. A
dispatch Of the 18th says it stated !
with positivcness by members Of
congress and others. who stand
closest to President Cleveland, that
he will not veto the tariff bill. They
do not say he told them 50, but he
talks in such way as to make
veto out Of the question. They say
The only doubt remaining is whether
The bill will become = law by the
presidents signature or 60 in effect
By expiration without his signature.

4 GREAT OUTPUT.
nesaba Iron Range Expected to Produce
ZOO, 900 Tons This Tear.

Hesaba Iron Range Expected to Produce
], zoo. 900 Tons This Tear.
DULUTH, Aug. 2 More then 100
men are now working at the mines Of
the Metropolitan Land and Iron
company, where the six weeks
strike ended last week. AS
q result the shipments of ore from the
Gogebic range have grown largely, and
will be enormous for several weeks.
Shipments from the Gogebic have been
up to date 775, 900 tons and about 400, :
600 tons more is contracted for vessel
room for the remainder of the season.
Shipments from the other Lake Super
lor ports have been large, and the esti-
mated total out of this lake for the sea-
son to August is 100000 tons, or a
trif1e over half the shipments for the
entire season of 1898.
Speculation is already lively as to the
Mesaba's share of the output of next
season, and it is
Put at Very High Figure.
This year, the second in which the
range made shipments, it will exceed by
100000 tons at least, any of the older
ranges of the United States, with an
output Of not far from 100000 tons,
and for the season of 1895 mining men
expect the range will ship all its two
railroads will be able to handle. The
Rockefeller road is gradually but stead
lily double tracking its line and will
have two tracks from it's ore juno
ton to the Duluth docks by
in the spring of 1895. The Duluth and
Iron Range road has surveys and esti-
mates on new line to the Mesaba and
expects to build it during the coming
winter. With the new mines being
opened and made ready for business
and with the contracts now unfulflled
that will be carried out next season, the
Mesaba should send out not far from
100000 tons. The Rockefeller con-
tract, made last fall with the Merritt
Brothers Of this city, will not be within
100000 tons Of completion this year,
and will all have to be gotten out under
it next year.
