A dispatch from Portland, Ore
gon, Oct 4.h, says: A remarkable
case developed here to-day. For
more than a year Mrs. w. E. Borah,
daughter of Gov. Mcconnell, has
been a sufferer from lung trouble.
Some doctors have claimed that she
was going into decline, but the
best advice was to the effect that
she had no affection OF the lungs.
Still there were frequent hemor-
rhages, and the case has puzzled
her friends and the doctors. A few
days ago Mr.. Borah took her to
Portland, and it was intended that
she should make trip to California
later on. Her husband received q
dispatch from the physician in
charge, stating that the trouble was
over; that in spell of coughing
she had been relieved of a piece of
a needle. II is now believed she
will be restored to her usual vigor-
Gus health.
Boise Democrat: Mr.. Geo. ,Lub-
kin came in yesterday from Snake
river, bringing with him sturgeon

The fish measured ten feet in length
and has a mouth large enough to
have swallowed Jonah and his en-
tire family.
Statesman: Private Andy Morri-
sey, one Of the oldest enlisted men
in the service of Uncle Sam, re-
ceived from Paymaster Kilbourne
at the last payday at Boise Barracks, |
a check for $4,000. This snug little
sum represents Private Morrisey's
savings covering period of 80 |
years in the army. Each payday |
Private Morrisey mad left with the
paymaster Il portion Of his small |
salary. The continually increasing
sum was placed to Morrisey's credit
and Paymaster Kilbourne day be-
'ore yesterday handed him check
IN full Of his account-$60OO.
This is the largest check in favor of
IN enlisted man, while it is ques-
ion if any officer in the service of
Uncle Sam ever received SO large a
sum at one time in payment of his
salary.
