ANOTHER COMBINATION.


There is another combination at work.
or at least some people here believe
there is. and it furnishes the only anus
ing part of the political fight. There
resides in Moscow a man named r. S.
Brown. He is banker. the president
of the Moscow National bank, and is al
lowed, by reason of his relationship.
to call Governor Mcconnell "nunkie."
Mr.. Brown is about 40 years of age.
man of excellent business ability and
great political shrewdness. He was
a candidate for the state senate at the
last election. Many persons thought
because he was a banker and had been
compelled to bear down on the writer's
of numerous notes that he would be
defeated. But he wasn't. He knew
thing or two about politics and he won
by fine majority.
State Senator-elect Brown has had
experience in politics. When his uncle,
Governor Mcconnell, spent 100000 for
a two months seat in the United States
senate four years ago, Mr.. Brown was
his banker and paid his checks. Brown
saw how easy it was to spend money,
and he afterwards learned that tact
was as good as money If properly used.
During the late campaign Sweet sup
ported Brown Brown having been
pledged to support Sweet by the sena-
torial convention. and Mr. Brown now
says Sweet should be elected and he be-
lieves he will Notwithstanding "Nun-
kie" is against him. But those in
position to know say Mr.. Brown is
doing nothing for Sweet but that he is
playing his game of tact He Is tight
ening the strings to his bow and it is
said is figuring on hitting the senatorial
button. He thinks he sees the hope
lessness of Heyburn's candidacy. the
coarseness of "Nunkie" McConnelrs
work. and the danger that threatens
Sweet. 1T is just possible that Mr..
Brown will go in and surprise "Nunkie"
and all the boys with the result of his
| little game of tact

Telluride Ores Exist i'll Every Part OF

The trustees of the Boise County Min
ing Company have decided to raise
more money and go down deeper with
the hole in the false bedrock, says tn
Idaho City correspondent of the Boise
Statesman. None are yet satisfied that
the granite has been reached, and will
go Is or 20 feet further down to satisfy
themselves. All the way from the sur
face there are sulphurets, but not until
within 100 feet of the bottom of the hol'
were they saved. During the past week
several assayers have been testing the
sulphurets and they find them rich il
gold, the assays going all the way from
$40 in gold to $62 in gold and 81 ounces
in silver per ton. The quantities of sui
phurets are immense. The people of
Boise and Ada counties have spent $12,-
900 hunting for the pay The sulphurets
are in bed and very plentiful for dis
lance of 100 feet above what may be
granite. This bed is extensive. as sui
phurets show at the rim of the cement
for miles in extent. The present deptl
Of the hole is 500 feet.
Several expert prospectors have dis
covered that telluride ores exist in ev-
cry part of the Basin
The South Africa will remain idle un

London, Dec "a dispatch TO the

Independent report to the Washing
ton government Sir Phillip Currie,
British ambassador to Turkey, is in
very active communication with the
porte and foreign embassies. 1t is be-
iieved he is pressing the porte to ac-
cept some measure that will satisfy
the outraged public opinion of Europe.
The porte is thoroughly alive to the
gravity of the situation and seems to
fear either a collective note from the
powers or an agreement between Rus
sia and Great Britain for Russian 'oc-
,upation of Armenia. Faud Pasha,
bearer of the Turkish orders for the
ear and czarina. has several times
got as far as the railway station, but
has not yet actually started for his des-
tination 1t is doubted whether the
ear will consent to receive him. Alto
gether there is need of more diplomatic
skill to extricate Turkey from the diff
iculties in which she finds herself.

had better keep quiet. Badly scared.

Richmond. KY, Dec. 9.-The assassi-
nation of Edward Doty near this city
is still leading topic. Bloodhounds
were taken TO the place where the crime
was committed today. They followed
the trail from there to the cabin of
Abraham. Tom and Bill Taylor, half
mile distant, then trailed back to the
place Of killing. This was fair evidence
and the chase was abandoned. Later
i'm the day Bill Taylor, the youngest
of the brothers, all of whom are in jail,
confessed, saying that he was in Doty's
stable attempting to slip one of his
mules when Doty came up to him.
on being asked to give the reins to
him, he fired, the bullet striking Doty
i'm the stomach. Doty fell, but arose
when Taylor shot again. To make SURE

his usual dignity and attempted to
throw off any unpleasant feeling he
must certainly have felt. His attention
was called to several items, one a short
age of 10000 wheat bags, an enormous
amount of oat bags, equally as many
wool bags and an astonishing amount
OF misplaced hop cloth, Irvine, etc.
No satisfactory excuse could be given
for this, and the governor at once told
him that there were sufficient charges
against him to cause his removal. and
that he was no longer warden of Tho

Washington, Dec. 9.-Representative
Wilson of Washington is endeavoring
to have the recommendations of the war
department for military post at Spo-
kane. Wash, carried out at the present
session of congress. He has consulted
with the members of the committees on
military affairs of both senate and

disposition among the senators and
members to concede the necessity of
the post. and the Indications are that
his efforts will meet with success.
