Horrible Suffering Of shipwrecked Fish
ermen.

A beat containing five corpses and six
men barely alive drfted ashore on Dog
Island, near Carrabelle, Fla, last Friday.
The eleven left Key West on a smack to
fish in the west coast. When two days out
the smack was wrecked, the men escaping
in a boat, without food, water or clothing
Four of the men died within two days. The
survivors were too weak TO throw their
dead comrades into the sea, and the corpses
remained in the boat. The last two days
only one of the living was conscious and he
does not remember all that happened
The scene at the boat was horrible. The
living and the dead we're tumbled together.
The corpses seemed to be gnawed in places.
and the fishermen suggested that in des-
peration the survivors tried to sustain life
on the flesh of their dead companions.
Several Of them seem TO have been rem
deIed idiotic by their sufferings.

No Water over the American Falls at
Niagara.

A remarkable condition existed at Mag
ara Falls Thursday. The American Fall
was practically dry. Instead of the ordi-
nary depth of from three and half to
four feet there was less than five inches of
water in the deepest part going over, while
near the Cave of the Winds it was simply
trickling over. The explanation is that
the water has been diverted to the Cana
dian Falls by reason of the immense dam
of ice on the Schlosser Reef, about two
miles up the river.

A New Race Discovered.

DIR. Donald Smith, the young PhiladeI-
phia physician, has just returned from an
expedition to Lake Rudolph, Africa. He
reports the discovery of many new tribes
whose existence was previously unknown.
Among these is race of pygmies. These
curious people are coal black and absolute
" naked. Although of great physical
beauty, with well formed limbs, they are
barely removed from animals and their
code of morality is very lax. They are all
between four and five feet high and live in
primitive conical huts. Their only indus
try is corn raising and the rearing of sheep
and goats. They are born hunters. In
warfare they use poisoned arrows, the
wounds inflicted by which prove fatal with
in an hour.

Building.


The New year starts in rightly for
Weiser New buildings right from
the jump. Mr.. Charles Irons, who
lately arrived from Baltimore, has
been unable to rent house and has
found it necessary to build. He is
putting up a 30x60 building next to
the Episcopal church which for the
present will be combined business
and dwelling house, one large room
being fitted up for hardware and cab
met shop and the rest for living
quarters.
Thos. E. Kelley has the contract
for a tasty little cottage for VIM.
Rhea near Pritchett's. 1t will be put
up in the next few days. A year
ago the McCrae house was the only
one over in that direction off OF
Main street; now, with this one and
the completion of the two Westlake
dwellings, there will be eight clus-
tered in that neighborhood. 1t looks
like little town. We are growing

MARVELLOUS CURES.
How Man was Carried to the Doctors
Office.
And Walked Out Unaided, After Few
Moments Treatment Other Cures
Reported.

DR.. Darrin, in Boise, is still at
tracing widespread attention by his
wonderful cures that are substantiated
by well-known people whose testimo-
ny cannot be controverted or doubted.
The following case of Mr.. Green is
one of the most remarkable cures
ever performed in Boise. He was
carried to the doctors office, corner
Ninth and Idaho streets, by Joe Kin
ney, the well-known saloon keeper.
Mr.. Green, after being treated by the
doctor for few moments, walked out
nearly well man. He relates his
experience as follows:

r. E. LOCKWOOD,
He Was Spilin'.

A big lrishman at Mulloy's the
other night incautlously walked
around the chicken and got his head
pecked. He was sitting quietly in
his chair, everybody dreamily loung-
ing around, no disputing and no
thoughts of a row. But on sud
den something in him snapped loose
and he bounded to his feet, cracked
his heels like the Child of Calamity,
waltzed around and roared piteously
for row, just begged for some one
to stand up in front of him and get
a beautiful smash from his big paw
No one had lost any big Irishman.
Jim BARLEY unsuspectingly strolled
in. Jim is small appearing man
below average height, and all una
ware that Jim's biceps are deformed
from many years of swinging the
blacksmith sledge, the Son of Erin
swooped down upon him and an
nounced that Jim was his meat. jim
as G. matter of course was taken by
surprise and tried to argue with the
man and in his unusual situation
it is probable he made some excited
gestures and it may be possible the
the tips of his fingers grazed the
leering mug of the bully AT any
rate when the big cuss painfully and
slowly gathered himself up off the
floor and pryed open one eye, he
stopped over and gazed down on his
meat in dazed way and said some
thing. These are not the words but
it is the substance: s'Jim, you are
a coward. Why don't you take 6
man of your size? If it wasn't fol
making disturbance | really would
wipe the floor with you, but through
considerations for the proprietor anc
the house l will graciously allow yot

stranger walked around the CHECKER
and got his head pecked.

THE GOOD CONFESSION.

In referring to the free coinage OF
silver, heretofore, references have
been had to the "poor wage Garner"
and the "hard working farmer" but
the writer of an editorial In the
Kansas City Star has touched the
real key note. Here Is what he says:
EVERY man who has money In
bank, and every merchant who has
accounts on his books is entitled to
collect a lOO-cent dollar. To compel
him by law to accept dollar worth
half the present dollar would GER
tainly be the worst kind Of injus-
tice."
This is tacit confession of the
result of free coinage, |. e., that
money would become more plenty
aud that the man who owes money
would thereby be enabled to pay
his debts-one of the greatest
blessings that could come to the
people of this United States. But
the objection of the writer above
quoted, which is one of the real
objections to free coinage, is that
the man with money boarded up
and the merchant with accounts on
his books will be wronged by being
compelled to accept cheap money.
Now a rule that won't work both
ways is not a good one. The Star
seems TO have overlooked the fact
that most of the present personal
Indebtedness in this country and
more than two-thirds of the public
was contracted when
the so-called cheap money was in
vogue. and now the question hinges
on this proposition: Shall this
large army of debtors, not DREAM
ing of the contraction of the cur
rency to it's present volume, created
debts which they could have paid
under existing conditions, l say
shall they be compelled to pay
those debts with dollars that
require twice as much of their
property to buy as it required when
the debts were contracted; or shall
money be restored to it's previous
purchasing power: The wrong in
the matter was in demonetizing
silver and the thousands who have
suffered from it will never be vindi-
Gated until silver is restored to the
place it occupied prior to 1873
