THE HOUSEHOLD
An Ingenious Diversion Full of Fun For
Merry Holiday Party.

a Merry Holiday Party.
AS tag is not considered a decorous
parlor game for adults and Little Sallie
Waters fails 10 stir the blOOC of the
middle aged with her pathetic tale Of
love lost and replaced, ingenuity is taxed
to provide games for mixed parties. We
may have Outgrown u frocks and u
nursery jingles, but our love of being
amused is as strong as when we clam
bered up into mothers lap and asked
for a story.
To meet the need a new game is sug-
gested by a certain ingenious entertain
er. After all the guests are assembled
they present themselves to the hostess
or her aids and allow a card to be af-
fixed to their backs. This card bears
the name of a we'll known character in
fiction Oh history, but it must not be
seen by the person wearing it.
The object of the game is to guess the
name of the character whose name you
bear. AS you cannot see your card, your
clews must be gained entirely from per-
tinent conversation with your fellows,
who, OF course, are in possession Of the
information you desire. AS turn about
is Il of the non of fair play, yon
must be equally ready to talk with your
companions concerning their identity,
taking care never to mention the name
itself, only the peculiarities Of charac-
ter or circumstance always associated
with it. Thus, should the name on a
mans back be Beau BrUmmel, one
could talk to him Of the latest fashions
in mems apparel, and also Of the kingly
fat friend.'
The first correct guessers report to
the hostess, and later, when all have
finished, t~ritling prizes are given. The
game described by Harper's Bazaar is
inexpensive and simple to manage.

ELECTRICITY APPLIED TO CAR.

electric street cars run, here given in

TO prOpeiling cars is of course obvious.
The current flows from the wire over

WEALTHY TAxpAYeRs PERJUReRs
SO Says the niuois Bureau Of Labor
Statistics.

SO Says the Illinois Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Springfield, Ill, Sept. 23.-The most
sensational report ever issued by the
state bureau was made public tonight
by the Illinois bureau of labor sta
tistics.
1t charges that the great majority of
wealthy taxpayers of Illinois and more
especially Of Chicago are perjurers;
that the assessors are guilty of NAL
feasance in office and the bad financial
condition of Chicago is traceable to
the corrupt system of taxation, and
the deplorable condition Of the work is
due to the MISUNDERSTANDING methods
Of taxation which prevails in Illinois.
The stand is taken that it is idle to
dwell upon the wages and condition of
the average wage earners of the state.
The bureau contends that their con-
dition lis proved by evidence so clear
and abundant that the compilation of
any further statistics would be a vast
ed effort"
The bureau takes the position that
taxation is the chief instrument Of
tyranny.

To Contribute TO the Fund for Assisting
the timetable Union.
Boise, Sept. 23.-G. V. Bryan. men,
Der of the Idaho executive committee
of the Bimetallic Union. has issued an
appeal to the people of Idaho to contrib
ute funds to assist the work. After
reciting what has been done in other
states, he says: 81 therefore appeal to
the mine owners. the miners. the mer-
chants, the farmers. the bankers and
all the citizens of Idaho to contribute
to this good cause what they feel able
to give and ask them to realize the vast
Importance of the success which means
prosperity to all, or the disastrous re-
suits which will come with defeat. Let
the mine owners contribute literally.
Let the miners pay, say, 81 each every
three months, until the fight is won.
Let the women contribute their share.
Get the school children to compete to
see what school can secure the prize for
the largest sum raised. for this is
good cause. Let the mine owners and
miners compete for the honor of being
first in aiding the cause. Let the farm
er and merchant, the banker, and the
people of all situations go to work
earnestly. effectively and persistently
to aid in swelling the fund and prove to
our eastern friends and sympathizers
that we are in earnest in our desire for
true bimetallism.
II ask that meetings be held in every
town and precinct in the state; that
each and every mine organize com
mittees to solicit aid for the cause; that
every school in Idaho shall offer a first
second and third prize to the scholars
who shall collect the largest sum for
this great and good cause. I suggest
that contributions be sent to Hon.

will see that the money is properly

tried to hold up Night Waterman Gam
mon Sunday morning between and
o'clock on Main street in the center of
the business district. He was ordered
to hold up his hands and not comply
ing quickly enough to suit the thief
who was within three or four feet was
shot at and the bullet went through his
cap. making a small hole in front and
in the back where it went out His
cap was singed, which shows that the
robber must have been close to him
when he fired.
After the shot the footpad took to his
heels, the night Waterman firing his
revolver twice. The night was so dark
that it was impossible to see any dis
lance and having to judge from the
footsteps, the Waterman failed to hit
his assailant.
Mr.. Gammon's hat was knocked off
by the conclusion and he was unable
to find it until he had procured Ian
tern.
The supposition is that the thieves,
for there was another on the other side
of the street, who joined his companion
after the first shot was fred intended
to capture and gag the night watch
and then rob all the business houses
with no one to modest them.
Extra guards will be provided at once
and it will go hard with any tough
characters found roaming around at
unseemly hours.

THE SILVER LEADERS AT MEMPHIS

inc NdUOual convention.
Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 23.-The meeting
Of the democratic silver leaders, called
to put in practical shape the conclusions
of the conference held in Washington
last month, is in session here today.
There are present Senators Harris and
Jones of Arkansas, w. IL. Hinrchsen,
chairman of the Illonois state democrat
ic committee Governor Stone of Mis-
souri,. Hon. Casey Young of Memphis
and several others of less note
The chief object of the meeting is to ap-
point chairman for the different states,
who are to organize the silver forces with
a view of capturing the state delegations
to the national democratic convention.
The leaders seem hopeful of accomplish
ing this result, particularly Hinrichsen.
He says the democracy of the south and
of the doubtful states of the west are for
free silver and will vote for it at the next
election. He reiterated his former dec.
larations as to the policy and purposes
Of the administration. Cleveland, he said,
would bring on a war with Spain about
cuba and eventually with England. This
would give him an excuse for a big issue
of bonds and rivet the gold standard on
the country, and besides clear the way
for a third term.

ture, Captain HOyt, the representative
of the quartermaster's department who
has been in charge of the work ever
since it was begun, said recently: 1T
is calculated that something like $780,,
600 will have been expended when the
entire post is completed. The regula-
ton buildings now up are designed for
the use of the full regiment, and moth
ing will be added to them. The build
ings yet to be built are additional bar
racks and officers quarters"
The figures given will present an idea
of the way the government does bust
ness. The work done is complete in
every particular. The barracks are
handsomely finished in hardwood, and
are supplied with every modern con-
venience in the way Of sanitary and
labor saving appliances, that could be
suggested.
The buildings are duplicated In de-
sign. but the effect is not monOtonous.
The exterior finish is a departure from
the old method, and the architecture
is up to date. The bakery, even, is not
of the least of the buildings. 1t has a
capacity of 500 rations at one baking.
There are separate buildings for all
the departments, and each is complete
and ornate in itself. The quarters of
the hospital steward, for instance, cost
more than the homes of the average
professional man in moderate circum-
stances in the ordinary walks of life
They are fitted with furnaces and cleo
trio lights. and are built to last for al
time to come.
Another thing that is worthy Of com
mendation is the fact that not one oil
the contracts failed to be completed III
the time specified in the bond. There
were no extensions of time" and II

ed and the full payments made before
