Poor Colgate.

The Colgate rescuing parties hav
ing been driven back by deep SHOWS
and extreme cold weather and the
last hope of rescue having faded
away, the truth may as we'll b.
stated that never will bone of the
skeleton be found that can be ident.
flied. The region whore Colgate
was abandoned abounds with coug.
ars and timber wolves. The Rocky
mountain cougar is hyenish in ma
ture, the opinion of many frontiers
men to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. 1t is impossible for flesh to
be SO deeply buried in snow where
cougars and wolves abound as they
do in the Clearwater country, that
will escape discovery by the raven
Gus beasts. They will dig and tun-
mel for it throug any depth Of snow.
and having found it, not a fragment
of bone will be left at the scene
of the feast. Colgate is said to
have starved to death, then his bod
was devoured.

Tho Terrible Deathlof . Boy.

Tho 11-year-old son of w. F.
Rawson at Oakley met a horrible
death recently. The boy was
thrown from q horse and kicked
and dragged to death while out
with the Oakley and Marion rabbit
hunters. He had wrapped the end
of halter rope around his body to
avoid carrying it in his hand, tuck
ing the end under the wrap, one end
being attached to tho horses neck
and the rope being just long enough
to drag the boy at the horses heels
The boy threw a rabbit into one OF
the wagons, whereupon the horse
lodged and threw the boy of. He
was dragged about a fourth of a
mile, when the horse was knocked
down and held until the mangled
corpse was released. The skull
was badly crushed, believed to be
from the kicks received after he fell
from the horse. The funeral SER
vices were held at tho Oakley Hall
Sunday afternoon, where q very
large crowd assembled to pay their
last respects to the unfortunate
child and speak words of comfort
to the bereaved parents and rela-
tiyeS.

The lecture on Mohammed had
large attendance Sunday night.
The fact was brought out that nc
intelligent student of Religions now
holds the Founder of Islam to have
been an "Impostor." On the con.
trary Mohammedism was shown to
be pure monotheism, though in a
form too rigid to furnish univer-
sal religion suited to the continued
and permanent upward growth of
the human race at large, which fact
accounts at once for the sudden and
astonishing success and spread OF
lslam-Mohammed being the most
successful of all religious reform
ers in his own lifetime-and also
for the comparatively early decline
of the religion. Though it remains
true that it was a great advance on
the polytheistic forms of faith it
transformed to higher ground snd
that it was, and still is, an immense
boon to many millions of the hu-
man race.

recorded protest against any effort
being made now or in the future
to place the mineral lands of the
Reservation under the control oil
either private corporation or an
individual. The action of the coun-
Gil together with the sentiment ex-
pressed by the citizens At recent
mass meeting has practically dis
posed of the proposed lease which
the Pacific Mining Company was
planning to secure by the joint APP
proval of the government and the
Indians. The Herald says:
"The Interior department will
take no action in the matter until
after special U. S. Examiner of
Surveys, H. L. Collier, completes
the work he is now prosecuting and
makes report to proper federal Of
hclals. In case a resurvey is not
necessary, a commission will be
appointed inside of the next 80
days, consisting Of three men, to
locate the Indians on the land al
ready subdivided for severalty al
lotment. The work of locating In
dams will absorb about 60 days
time. Then the government will
treat for the lands not taken by al
lotment which will consume not to
exceed two months time. Ifevery-
thing goes reasonably smooth, the
will be thrown open to
settlement by not later than Novem-
Der. II is the intention of the pres
ont administration to open for pub
lie settlement all the Indian reser-
vations embraced in the inter-
mountain region, and if the citi-
zens of Pocatello act wisely the
Fort Hall reservation will be at
heir disposal before 1894 closes.

Senator Jones Interviewed.

The San Francisco Chronicle
publishes the following interview
recently had with Senator John P.
Jones of Nevada:
THE TARIFF BILL.
As to the tariff bill in the Senate,
the Senator thinks it is hard to say
whether it will have a majority or
not. He considers that there is no
doubt that material changes will
be made. The income tax is likely
to be eliminated and the sugar
clause may be changed. Person
ally Senator Jones considers an in
come tax more or less a premium
upon perjury. The best people
would pay it and the worst would
avoid it. One man may receive an
income of $4,000 or $4,000 on
his ventures wherein he constantly
risks his all in the enterprises.
The results are uncertain and re-
quire his constant attention, while
others have funds safely and per-
manenty invested. Both should
not be taxed the same.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
AS to the bond issue, Mr.. Jones
says: mo prominent lawyer any,
where believes in Mr.. Carlisle's
right to issue bonds except for the
purpose of redeeming the green
backs in circulation at the time the
act was passed" The Senator be-
lieves that silver and the finacial
question form tho paramount issue.
There can come no substantial re-
lief to the country until the volume
of money is increased either
through the use of silver or other
wise. A gold standard is impracti.
cable.
GOLD GROWS MORE VALUABLE.
"What does gold maintain a par
ity with?" he asked. 'Its produc-
ton is more a matter of chance
than that of almoet anything else.
The parity of gold and all other
money is with the unit of the prod
uct of labor. Since the demoneti.
cation of silver. gold has never re-
NAMED on a parity with anything.
1t has steadily grown more and
more valuable and everything else
cheaper for the last twenty years.
The repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act has brought no
relief.
"The question will not down. |
do not speak in behalf of the silver
producers, who are but a handful,
but in behalf the of millions whose
interest are bound up in the silver
question. What avails protection
against foreign competition while
making conditions which render US
to withstand home COM
potion? The passage of the Wilson
bill will not bring relief, neither
will it's defeat"

Caldwell Wants to be q City Of Morals.

The Mayor and Council of Cald-
we'll have issued an ordinance to

for the punishment of all lewd per-
sons to befound in thu limits OF
