Brazilian News.

LoNEoN, han. O.-The Rothechild
bluking houge has received dis
patch from Rio Janerio rayiug that
Admiral De Cana has surrendered.
Baron Rothschild fuid TO an Asso-
cia'ed Press reporter that hl3 cable
announcing the surrender OF Admiral
De Gama came from Tie most rela.
ble source. He had no reason TO
doubt it's accuracy.
The Brazilian Minister said he Ind
no doubt but that the news was true,
and that the finul collapse OF tho re.
volt was only question OF few
days. The highest officials OF the
British foreign Office in expressing
their opinion, think Do Gama's sur
render To tho United States Admiral
, Was the cnsiest way out OF the diff
Guilty. The chief question was what
would Admiral Benhum do with him.
He could not Very well surrender him
To Picxo.o to Ge shot. and couldn't
very we'll feed De Gama's followers
indefinitely.
L"TER,-Dispatches from Rio say
that ut ten o'clock this morning, ad-
miral Dc Cana, having opened iIro
on one OF the American war ships, n
sharp engagement followed with the
result that De Cana surrendered.
WAsHINGTcS, Jan. 3o.-1h here is a

between TIE United States ships and
The lCsuTsCn;s' vcsEcls yesterday
Men who know Admiral Bcnham as
Sort that il tho Brazilian fired ON his
ship, there would be no hall way work
in his rerly.
When Secretary Ilerbert was shown
tho Associated Press dispatches that
De Gama had surrendered he was
evidently much surprised, aud said
his dispatches did not contain this in
formation.
BUENos AYREs, Jan. 30.-It is re-
ported here that Rffnirs at Rio Jnne-
rio arc in u most critical condition.

Heart F allure
HOW TO AVOID 1T.

The epitaph on many a tombstone is
"heart failure" No wonder, when we con-
slider the immense strain which is put on
that small organ. Marvellous as it is, beating
100000 times and exerting a force equal to
5,l84,000 pounds daily, it has its limits
endurance often is too severely tested. So
common are diseases of the heart-though
often for a considerable time without the
suspicious of the afflicted person being in
The least excited-that it is stated that one
person IN four has bad heart! DIR. Franklin
Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, has for years made
a special study Of all diseases of the heart,
and his remarkable success has made his
name familiar one in all parts of our land.
He has found the most common symptoms
of heart disease to be pain, distress or tender
ness in the chest, oack, stomach bOwels, left
shoulder and arm, shOrttess Of breath, smother
ing spells, tainting, etc.
Mr.. George r. Smith, of Barnes, Yates

NEW STEAMER LINE.
A Stee riyer May Soon Grace Koot-
enai Lake.

The people of the Kootenai lake
country are decidedly interested
this fall in watching the movements
of the owners of the little steamer
Ainswolth. All summer long that
little boat has been padding back
and forth between Nelson and Kas-
10, picking up a fair share of the
local business and getting the run
of the trade.
Recently they bought in the Nc
Leod building at Ainsworth, built
for hotel a few years ago at cost
Of $4,000. Some suggested that it
might be intended for warehouse
property, but others scoffed at the
idea. Then similar purchases in
Kaslo and Nelson were reported,
thus giving the owners of the boat
q foothold in all three lake towns.
Now it is given out that the own
ers of the Ainsworth are figuring on
building big new boat, and build
it of steel. 1t would be the first
one of the kind on the lake and
would have not only the advantage
of safety and increased speed but
also strength to carry it through
any light ice formation. With
such steamer driven by
powerful engines it is said there
would be no difficulty in navigat-
ing the Kootenai river as we'll as
well as the lake the year around.
That would mean everything tc
the Great Northern railway for il
would give it direct and rapid con-
nection at all seasons with Nelson
Kaslo, Ainsworth and Pilot Bay
making it most formidable com
petitor for the business of that dis
trict. Indeed there are those who
have very strong suspicious that il
the enterprise goes at all the Great
Northern will be behind it.

What Mcconnell Says About Sweet

What Mcconnell Says About Sweet.
Governor Mcconnell arrived in
this city Wednesday evening and
spent Thanksgiving with his fam
lily. He will remain until Sunday
morning when he will return to
Boise. In speaking of the senator
ial fight, the governor gave as his
opinion that Mr.. Sweet cannot be
elected, as the fight he and hiS
friends made on the republican
nominees during the campaign has
turned many of his friends against
him. The stand Sweet and Dubois
took through the state with regard
to the state ticket worked hard
ship and now it is in turn for Sweet
to receive a return of his compli-
ments, which means that he will
be laid on the shelf. The fight on
Governor Mcconnell was particu-
larly bitter on the part of Sweet
and his friends and the attitude Of
the governor cannot be wondered
at. The candidacy Of Senator
Shoup means that Mr.. Sweet can
take rest after March 4th, 1886

CONCENTRATIONS.
A Pertinent Point.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In considering the mater of the in- creased power of the mayor, would it not be wise to arrange for some check upon his individual opinion. For in stance, as an illustration, in regard to such matters as fixing the license fees to be paid by transit vendors, who come to our town for the sole purpose of making money honestly or dishonest ly, not having reputation to lose as a permanent merchant of our city would have. We do not believe that for the welfare of all concerned this class of people should be encouraged to flood our market with the cheapest trash and pay the small sum of $1, which our present mayor deems sufficient for the privilege of depriving our legiti- mate merchants and taxpayers of their business, to which they have devoted their lives and reputations to build up and at the same time con- tributed a fair share of their profits in the payment of taxes, for proper maintenance of municipal govern ment, from all of which obligations the itinerant merchant is exempt.

that the tarifr act passed at the last session Of congress needs important amendments if 1t is to be executed ef- feetiveiy and with certainty. He Is still very decidedly in favor of putting coal and iron on the free list. And. so far as the sugar schedule Is concerned, he would be glad. under existing aggra- vations." to see every particle of diff ferential duty in favor of refined sugar stricken out of our tariff law. "Ex- lstlng aggravations" is good, and 1t Is good to see President Cleveland notic- ing the existing aggravations In his own solemn and virtuous way.
 What the president has to say about gold is really interesting and import ant. It is also sound and strong. He is at his best when he thus declares himself: cannot for moment believe that any of our citizens are deliberate ly willing that their government should default in It's pecunlary obligations or that its financial operations should be reduced to silver basis. At any rate. I should not feel that my duty was done if I omitted any effort I could make to avert such q calamity. As long, therefore, as no provision Is made for the final redemption or the putting aside of the currency obligation now used to repeatedly and constantly draw from the government its gold, and as long as no better authority for bond issues Is allowed than at present exists, such authority will be utilized whenever and as often as 1t becomes necessary to maintain a sufficient gold reserve, and in abundant time to save the credit of our country and make good the financial declarations of our govern ment.
 It has been whispered that the pres ident would have something to say con- cerning the currency that would De worth attention, but he has nothing of his own to offer. He simply contents himself with an unqualified endorse ment of the plan of the secretary of the treasury to modify the present banking laws and provide for the issue of circulating notes by State banks free from taxations under certain limita- tions.
 AS whole the message Is unusually windy and dreary. The wonder is that the president could manage to say so little in so many words. And the words are not as picturesque as they have been in some of his messages.

Then there are loose jacket fronts of black satin rib bon let into the side seams and draped on the shoulders to form eoaulettes. A folded belt is of black satin. and the collar is similarly made.

For Any Boy of Fourteen. From Harper's Young People. l


 If you can. always play game in preference to simply going through lot of mechanical movements. A game ex- ercises your head, rests your mind. and helps you immensely. Whereas. while pulley weights help you. they only help you to about half the extent that game does. If, finally you happen to be near a gymnasium, and cannot get any exercise out of doors. then go to the gymnasium. Now to particularize It, tie on the special work of boys in special employments. Suppose you are not very strong. and you are so employed during the day that you have to sit down all the time. Of course you need exercise of the kind that will keep your body moving. should advise you, then. to take ten minutes off just at nghtfall. Put on light garments, say q pair of low shoes, pair of drawers cut off at the knee. and an undershirt; nothing more. Then go out into quiet streets or into country roads, and begin ming slowly. run half a mile. Come in at once, run to bath, and every soul on earth in civilized countries can have bath If he really wants one. Then rub yourself down hard with a towel and dress yourself. say half a mile. Soon you will be able to do five miles If you have time, but good half-mile run each night of your life will save many a pain and ache, many a dollar in doc tors bills, and many a bad fit of the "blues." Don't be afraid of going out In such light clothes-unless you're afraid of the policeman-for have seen many a sickly boy run in just such clothes on cold midwinter nights, with six inches of snow on the ground and bad snow storm raging. You can see the steam come out of your body when you come in. If you sit down five minutes outdoors you very likely would never go out again; but you will not do that; you will run all the time you are out, and as soon as you have had bath and are dressed you are less likely to take cold than you were before you went out to exer- else.
