WHY THEY DuN'r vOrE.

Mr.. j. Sloan Fassett, aforetime
candidate for Governor of New
York, made speech before "The
Political Club" in New York the
other evening, and among other
things he said that over 1000 of
the best citizens of "the great Me-
tropolis" rarely voted, and gave as
the reason therefor that "if they
vote, their names appear on the poll
list. and thence go on the Jury liste,
and the jury duty is one which most
of our best citizens shun."
"The best citizens" as the gen.
tleman is pleased to term them.
should be made to bear their part OF
jury duty. Their immunity..from
jury duty may be all we'll enough
for them, but when it is secured at
the cost OF good government it Is
another thing.

A DECISION AS TO IDAHO LANDS
Secretary of the Interior Passes Upou
an Appeal Made by the State

Washington, May 17.-Secretary of
the Interior Smith has decided the spe-
cial appeal of the state of Idaho from
the rejection of certain lands claimed by
1t as part of an agricultural college
grant. The total grant was 90, 900 acres.
several hundred acres of which were re-
Jected by the land office as being in
tracts smaller than $50 acres each. The
state APPEALED and the secretary has held
that the tracts selected must be at least
of l60 acres each, but that this 1850 may
be made up of parts of different sections
that are contiguous to each other, and
need not be in the same section. Part
of the lands claimed are therefore given
to the state and part rejected as not
meeting these requirements.

THE MURDERoUS ASSAULT ON HepP
spokane Man Was Lucky to Escape
With His Life


Waterville, May 15.-Charles Hepp,
who had such a narrow escape from
falling victim to Indian butchery Sat
urday, the particulars of which were
forwarded to the Spokesman Review,
arrived In town this evening on his way
home. He has an ugly looking cut in
the back of his head as memento of
the occasion. He reports that he met
the Indian near Sulphur Springs and
offered him S. to aid in securing the lost
horses. The Indian talked good En-
glish, but his manner was such that it
is strange that Mr.. Hepp did not be-
come suspicious. That gentleman wears
several rings and carries a conspicuous
watchchain. The Indian asked the val
ue of the rings. but was told they were
brass. He also wanted to know the
time of day
AS they rode along the Indian sudden
ly pointed to a sagebrush and said that
a rabbit had run in there, and asked
Mr.. Hepp for his revolver in order to
shoot it. Mr.. Hepp had no gun, but
told the Indian that he would not lend
his pistol to anybody. 1t was few
minutes after this conversation that the
Indian fell a little behind and struck
Mr.. Hepp in the back of the head, pre-
sumably with a loaded quirt When
Mr.. Hepp fell to the ground the Indian
dismounted and struck him a terrific
blow in the side, from which he still
suffers much pain. The first blow dazed
the unfortunate man, but as the Indian
leaned over him he put his hand in his
vest and threatened to shoot The In
dian jumped upon his horse and rode
rapidly away some distance. Hepp's
horse followed, when the Indian secured
Hepp's coat and extracted $25 there
from. He was able to give a good des-
cription Of his assailant. and Deputy
Sheriff Friel is now in the southern
part of the county searching for the
bold robber.

SMALL DANGER OF A GOLD FAMINE
Inc hond Syndicate Has Plenty In Sight
for Demands or the Future

New York. May ia Wall street
news agency says: Evidences point to
cleaning up process having been be-
gun by the bond syndicate. The recent
return to members Of 40 per cent. of
their subscription money was the first
step In this direction. 1t is uncertain
when the balance will be returned. but
some think 1t will be a short time. The
calling from the syndicate members Of
their extra gold. is another step in the
same direction.
There Is authority for the statement
that the progress of events in the de-
sired direction has been a good deal
raster than the syndicate expected or
even hoped would be the case. The de-
veiopment Of foreign investment, buy
ing on large scale. so noticeable last
month, has practically assured the
country against any large demand for
gold for many months to come. Most
OF the syndicate's preparations were
made against this danger"
