One of the most interesting Of psy-
Geological studies, says, the Century, is
the effect of large idea upon a small
mind. A large idea entering q large
mind balances and digniies it; its eff
feet upon small mind is often CONF
pletely upsetting. The man becomes
intellectually top-heavy and unsteady.
When one becomes observant of this
phenomenon he finds much to amuse
and again much to deplore. He is
amused, for instance, to notice the re-.
suit of this overlooking throughout a
long career. Where q subject is thus
acted upon by a succession. Of IDEAS
each embodying an important truth
which the man is incapable of carrying,
his receptivity to impression proves to
be his bane. The sudden realization
for the first time of a fundamental prin-
cipie makes monomaniac Of him. An
other sudden realization Of still another
fundamental principle and he is1spin-
ming off at a new tangent.
But there are times when this effect
of large ideas upon little minds is most
mischievous and ,deplorable. Thus is
bred the race of incurable cranks in
philosophy theology, art and politics.
The word "crank" has been maliciously
misused for purposes of cynical ridi-
cule, but it is too descriptive name
to be set aside. The congenial crank
is always started on his career of in
utility by this application of a big idea
to a small brain. The most firing
thing about him is his self-compla.
cency, owing to his knowledge of the
fact that better men have been mis-
called by his own accurately descriptive
cognomen. ''@.'' =.

THOSE DOLLARS OF 1898.

~ -
In January, 1895, when the change
took place in the personnel OF the
State government, seventy or eighty
thousand standard dollars. bearing the
mark of the Carson Mint and the date
1893, were found in the State Treas
ury. The coins were in bags each
containing $1,000. Experts who ex-
amined them expressed the opinion
that they had never been in circula-
ton, and investigation established the
fact that they had not been sent to
the State Treasury by the county
treasurers in payment Of taxes. How
then, did they get in the treasury
The coinage Of standard dollars was
suspended at the Carson Mint early
in 1893. In June of that year, when
the rdespised standard dollar, which
the gold men sneeringly designated
as the 5O-cent dollar, was sought for
In New York at premium of two per
cent, Secretly Carlisle, in response to
the demand for the coins, said there
were no free standard dollars; that is,
dollars that we're not held for the re-
demption Of silver certificates, in the
mlnts or treasury vaults of the Gov
eminent. II Secretary Carlisle was
right, and his statements of the CON
dltlon of the Treasury are not ques-
toned by the gold men. how did it
happen that dollars Of 1893 we're sent
in bulk to the Treasury of Nevada?
10 whom, and for what purpose, were
those dollars paid at time when the
Secretary Of the Treasury said there
were none Of the coins free in the
Treasury? The records of the mint,
unless they we're mutilated to conceal
the shortage. ought to furnish the in :
formation. The dollars were evident
ly disposed Of by the bagfull. as there
were bags full of them in the State
Treasury, and all new and of the same
date. The fact positive and undis-
puted, that there were a large numb

all new and not abraided, in the State
Treasury, implies that there we're
monetary transactions directly be-
tween the mint or some persons or IN
stltution closely connected with it, and
the State Treasury, and that these
transactions involved many thousands
Of standard dollars. What were those
transactions and who conducted
them? Those who know, do not want
to answer; in fact, it. is considered
very imperti"ant in certain Carson
circles to ask, or to allude to the trans
actions in any manner. If the trans
actions were legitimate. why SHOULD
there be any hesitancy in making
them known, and if they were not, it
ought to be the duty of some Federal
or State official to ascertain who were
implicated in the affair.--Reno Jour

STILL sHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Strange Disappearance of Richard
Thomas and Wife.

Boise, April 26.-The disappearance Of
Richard Thomas and wife from their home
on Sinker creek, in Owyhee county re-
mains enshrcuded in mystery. 1t APP
pears that Thomas sold lot of cattle late
in the fall. realizing between $4,000 and
$4,000. 1t is believed he kept most Of this
money in his house, and it is thought a
robbery may have been committed.
Thomas and his wife had not lived hap
PLY together and some have been IN
clined to think the woman may have had
something to do with his disappearance,
afterward making her own escape from
the country. She had sister living near
and it is said she got strychnine from her
some weeks ago with which to poison
SQUIRRELS. The sisters were not on very
good terms with the remaining one and
had not visited Thomas place for iong
time. 1t seems as if the place had been
deserted several weeks before the discov-
cry. The dog found dead appears to
have been killed. The animal was IA
vorite with Mrs. Thomas The country
has been secured without securing any
trace of the missing people.

DRIvING NAILS ny MOONLIGHT


Cripple Creek, April 26.-The work
OF rebuilding the burned district has
been begun and tonight by the light of
the full moon nails are being driven in
many houses.
At meeting of the city council last
night resolution was passed allowing
the erection of temporary buildings with
III the fire limits, with the provision that
all must be removed within 60 days to give
place to buildings of stone and brick.
This morning, as soon as the debris
had cooled sufficiently, the work of clear
ms was commenced, and before nightfall
FULLY rs buildings were under way and
quite number were occupied. The first
to open its doors for business was a
dance hall. and the second was a saloon,
but other branches of business were soon
represented. with 5000 people rendered
homeless in a day. OF course, lodging
houses are in the greatest demand, and
many of these are rapidly progressing.
The best of order prevails. Hundreds of
special policemen are on duty, guarding
tie thousands of dollars worth of proper
ty from stores and private houses.
One of the first steps taken this morn
ing by the business men of the place was
the organization of relief committee, to
look after the destitute. At an early hour
kilograms began coming to the mayor
from cities and towns in the state offering
financial aid, These We're turned over 70

IDAHO DEMOCRACY DESPERATE

only II counties represented, there being
no member from the north in attend
ance in person or by proxy. After pass
ing on the credentials, the meeting adj
journed until this evening, when it was
agreed to hold a state convention for
the selection of delegates to the national
convention at Pocatello June 16. No call
was made for state nominating con-
vention. Most of the day was spent in
informal conferences between the menu
bers of the committee and populist
leaders. The sentiment Of the commit
tee seems to be unanimous in favor Of
fusion on state, county and Legislative
tickets. Representation in the Pocatelio
convention will be one delegate-at-large
for each county and one for each $50
