HIS MOTHER-IN.LAW.
Lord Sho1to Douglas Is Going to be
HOrsewhipped.

A San Francisco paper says that
Lord Sholto Douglas, the son of the
Marquis Of Queensbury, who mar
ried variety actress few months
ago, is to be horsewhipped by his
mother-in law. Mrs. Adds has an
nounced that she will start for Los
Angeles this week for the purpose of
teaching her son-in-law some Amer
lean manners. The disagreement
is said to have resulted from the in
reference of Mrs. Adds in the man
agement of the Douglas household.
Lord Sholto took exception to the
action of his mother-in- law, and in
letter informed her that when he
married Miss Adds he did not mar
ry the whole family, and that he
would be pleased if his mother-in-
law would permit him to manage
his own domestic affairs. Mrs. Ad-
dis fells that she has been insulted
and says that she will publicly
horsewhip her son-in-law.

THREE PRISONERS SL0PED.
knocked n Hole Through the Wall
OF the Caldwell Jail.

a Caldwell special to the Boise,
Idaho, Statesman says: This evening
about : O'Clock three of the pris-
oners confined in the county Jail
here made their escape and are now
at large. The fugitives are Franks,
the man held for passing bogus
checks on the Commercial bank and
the two hoboes who burglarized
kohler's jewelry store at Nampa.
All the prisoners in the Jail were
left in the corridor while the attend
ant went to supper. When Deputy
Sheriff Devers went to the Jail some
where about 7 o'clock he found that
holes had been knocked through the
brick wall on the west side. Matt
Crump, young Booth and another
prisoner known as Liberty serving a
short sentence from Payette, were
also in the Jail, but refused to escape
and the officer found them locked up
in the cell when he returned. When
those who got away found the others
would not join them, they told them
to get in the cell if they did not
want to get their heads broke n.
Then they locked them up.

1t is now admitted even in official
circles at Havana that the insurgents
have recently made such progress in
the different provinces that affairs
may be said to be reaching a crisis.
There is no doubt that the head
quarters Of Capt. Gen. De Campos,
the city of Santa Clara, capitol Of
the province of that name, is being
slowly but surely invaded by the
insurgent forces. They are advanc-
ing from all sides, but mainly from
the province of Puerto Principe.
The rebellion is also gaining ground
in the province or Matanzas, alt
hough not SO much is known of the
operations Of the insurgents in that
part of the country. Nor would
anybody be surprised to hear of a
sudden and combined attack upon
several towns in the province of
Santiago de Cuba, from which prov
ince very little news has bee forth
coming for some time past.

An Express Robbery.

A special to the Denver News
from Colorado Springs says that the
express office at the Santa I'e depot
in that city was robbed of $4,000
last Monday night. Immediately
after the departure of the night ex-
press at 9:42, George krout, express
agent, stepped from the platform
into his Office and was confronted bv
two masked men who leveled revolv-
ers at his head and ordered him to
open the safe. This he did, and they
helped themselves to two packages
of money containing $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively, and made their
escape. The money was part of
consignment Of $4,000 sent from
Denver to Cripple Creek.

Governor Richards Issues His
Annual Proclamation To
The People.
ROBBERS DO UP AN EXPRESS OFFICE.
The Supreme Court Stays With
The Doctrine.

There is no change for the better
in the political situation in Constant
inople unless it rests on the fact that
the Ottoman bank has advanced the
Turkish government the sum of ST.
100000, which will enable the new
minister of finance, Sabri Pasha, to
provide for the most pressing needs
of the government. The latter, it
would seem, consist in fitting out the
army reserves just called out in the
porte's attempt to make some show
ing Of trying to restore order in Ar
menia; but there are so many other
demands upon the Turkish treasury
that the money just advanced will
not go "A long way, even if it were
placed to Legitimate uses which is
not likely to be the case. In the
best informed circles there, the sit
uation there is decidedly critical and
important developments are expect
in short time.
The ambassadors of the powers do
not regard the new Turkish ministry
with favor; it is not expected to last
long, and it is not thought that it
will be able to do anything worth
mentioning towards clearing the po-
litical atmosphere. The rumor Of
palace conspiracies which has been
in circulation for months past contin-
ues to be talked about. The name
of the deposed sultan, Mohammed
Murad, removed from the throne be-
cause he was alleged to be suffering
from idiocy, is once more mentioned
as being "A likely candidate for the
throne. There are many people
who believe the deposed sultan is
quite as sane as the principal ruler
OF the Ottoman empire. Then, of
course, the name of the heir appar-
ent, Mohammed Reshed, is heard
mentioned as likely to succeed his
uncle the present sultan. In fact, it
was said some time ago, that the
present sultan had offered to resign
in favor Of Mohammed Reshed; but
it is added, the reports of the pow
ers did not look upon this as likely
to prove any solution Of the compli-
Gated situation, and the matter was
allowed to drop. The appointment
Of the ex-grand vizier, Klamil Pasha
decidedly well meaning man. OF
Vail Alepho, is regarded here as be-
ing onl y another way of sending him
to exile. He may not be exiled, but
he will not be allowed to return to
Alepho till it suits the porte.
The Turkish troops are being con
centrated at Masash for an advance
on Ieitoun, so soon as the military
preparations are completed. Fur
ther private reports received here
from Diabekir estimate the number
of Armenian victims Of the recent
massacres as 5000.
1t is believed the number is in ex-
cess of the actual total of the killed,
and there seems to be no doubt that
the victims are numbered by the
thousands.
A dispatch to the London Chroni-
Gle from Rome says: The Scorrer
Del Mattino of Naples has advices
to the effect that the Maronis of
Salisbury has confdentially pro-
posed to the powers the dismember-
ment of Turkey.

L. E. Collins is in the city visiting
his family after all absence of several

Messrs. Collins and Barker have a
very fattering gold mining PROPOSE
ton on Duck creek, in Meagher.
They have expended about $4,000
in development work, and at depth
of 300 feet, have enough good ore in
sight to convince them that they
have considerably y more than a pros
pect. The mine is II miles from
the railroad, which makes it conven-
lent to ship whatever ore they take
out in excess of the capacity of the
small mill now in operation on the
property.-Gt. Falls Tribune.

THE TRUE ANARCHISTS.

There is no explaining why both the
United States courts and congress man
age always to find some way in which to
give the public domain to corporations.
The recent action of the court of appeals
at San Francisco, in deciding that the
Oregon & California Railway Company
had earned 800, 600 acres of land near
Forest Grove, modestly estimated to be
worth 81 900, 900, but probably worth
$5,O00,000, is one of these inexplainable
cases. The United States contended that
the grant was to aid in the construction
of road from Portland via McMinnville
to Astoria or rather that there were two
roads, one to McMinnville from Portland,
the other to Astoria, and that the grant
that there was one continuous road from
Portland to Astoria and McMinnville,
and that the construction of the road to
McMinnville entitled the road to the
lands, as far as that point. The case
looks like cold steal, but 1t is in keep
ing with the custom of courts and con-
gress, for neither were ever known to
render decision or perform an act favor
able to the people as against the claims
of corporation.
The anarchists of this country who
viii eventually cause terrible upheaval
are not the Johann Mosts, the Fieldings,
the Spies, the Linngs. They are the
Huntingtons, the Crockers, the congress
and the United States courts. With
these and such as these turks the danger

JEsDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1895
A DEAD DUDE.

Ward McAllister is dead and buried.
It is more than sixty years since the
time when his little pink toes, as a re-
minder of his Simian ancestry, shut
themselves down towards the soles of
the baby feet, in the instructive effort
to grasp in quadrumanian style some
imaginary branch or limb. 1t is sixty
years, and more, since his toothless lit
tie mouth drew from his mothers
breast the genuine Holstein or Jersey
lacteal that nourished his patrician
body. And what a sixty years they
were--for him. For the greater part of
the time his brainlet has devoted the
entire time to the fitting of garments,
the measuring of that great human
family, of which he was only second
cousin, by the accidents of their birth,
the size of their bank accounts, and
their relationships with certain Ameri-
can aristocrats whose immediate ances
tors were plebes from Plebeville. The
Astors, whose grandfather was very
good trader. the Vanderbllts, whose
grandfather was a very good boatman,
were sized up by him as being by their
wealth fit associates for the Stuyvesants,
the Van Rensselears, the descendants of
the wooden legged governor of New Am
sterdam, and the Knickerbockers.
While the idea of an American aris-
tocracy is amusing, McAllister's queer
combination, as above stated, would be
hard to find any reason for. He went
through the world leader of fashion, a
moulder of ''sassiety," and dictator as
to who should and who should not be
admitted to the New York society peer
age. But he is dead, and the poor body
will soon furnish pabulum for the 400 of
New York's select grave worms. At his
funeral that great American smooth
bore, Chauncy M. Depew, considered
himself honored by being allowed to
assist as a pail bearer, and across the
coffin representative of the Wander
bilts assisted in carrying to the hearse
all that was either mortal or immortal
of the defunct tailor's dummy.
Society-New York society-mourns
his loss. He was the brightest holly
hook in society's garden; most brightly
colored butterfly that ever spread its
wings to the glare of the sun, forgetful
that it was once slug and chrysalis
most arrogant toad in the puddle OF
toads that were famed for their arro-
gance only; chief dude, of proportions
gigantic enough to dwarf all other would
be dudes into dudelets. And yet he
died. Death loves shining mark; also
mining shark, and gave him swipe,
just,for his glitter, for in the world be
was no use, and it is hard to understand
what use he could be put to in the next
When the last day comes and Gabrielle
trumpet sounds, then the weary bones
of the great Ward will stir, and faint
voice will be heard querulously inquir-
ing for his lavender pantalettes and kid
gloves, and he will never fall in line
without'them.
