Charged With Rape.

Grier Shell of Centerville was for
the second time in the last year
lodged in our county Jail on Satur.
day. Miss Elizabeth Mace, who
lives near p" summit House, made
affidavit - . II. u. StelnIus e. +,
Justice of the Peace, that Shell, on
March 9Th. 1896, made an assault up
on her, attempted to disarrange her
clothes, etc. On this information
he was put under arrest. The con
stables found Shell in barn in Cen
ire township, covered with II large
pile of hay.
Shell il young man Is years of
age and last fall was brought to Jail
under u silimar charge. At that
time he was released by paying the
costs. When Shell was captured he
tried to make the officers believe he
was only 1G years of age. The pris-
on records say he was Is last sum
mer. The lie about his age was told
probably to escape the penitentiary
and go to the Huntingdon Reforma-
tory instead.

THE DEVILS!

During the year 1895 the United
States produced more than half the
copper output of the whole world.
The product Of the United States is
given at l72, 522 tons; of the entire
world 1874, 327. When one notices
the figures and then turns his thoughts
to the estimates made of the probable
capacity of the Seven Devils, com
PARSONS become astounding. When
one considers that, taking experts
estimates, the ore in sight on one
single mine is sufficient to yield four
zines the whole product of the United
States for one whole year, or twice
the entire 1895 product of the whole
world, it is almost paralyzing. The
estimate for the Peacock is 5, 600, 600
tons. While a larger amount of high
grade than of low grade is claimed,
it is best to say it is 10 per cent ore,
which would yield 500, 600 tons of
copper matt. That from one mine

the great, benign liberality of the

Montana have displayed it and have
endorsed heartily the position of Sen
ator Dubois. So, from its independ
ent standpoint, the SIGNAL wants to
see the republican party back up Du-

pensions cast on the motives and
political policy which animate Mr.
Dubois and the genuineness of his
sentiments at bottom We cannot

DUBOIS.

- Republican politics in this state, for
the coming campaign, is fast rushing
into open warfare between the Dubois
supporters and the Mcconnell faction
Dubois is the "Stonewall Jackson" of
silver in the republican ranks in
Idaho. Mcconnell, Shoup and their
men have adopted the straddle, slip
perry policy Wilhelm the event that
single standard predominates the
national party and that it should get
control OF the government-wi slide
on creased track into open gold
bugism. Thus they will be en- rap
port with the administration and will
WELD the power of controlling the
patronage of the state L the gold
element is downed, they will have an
avenue to appropriating the cloak of
sespectability by declaring they al
ways were for silver and have never
come out in favor OF anything else.
Of course there is the possibility that
the republican party may be swept
under in Idaho next fall in state and
legislature, in which event, as mat
ter Of course, any republican for sen
-ator is out of the question. But if
that party does win the ability to
name the senator, it will disgrace
itself il it names anyone but Dubois
to succeed himself. The position he
has placed himself in cannot be
backed out Of In reply to recent
inquiry, the senator has said:
Myself and other silver senators who
opposed Dinglcy bill will not support
Reed. Mckinley, Allison. Morton or any
other goldbug at st. Louis. Nor will we
support goldbug or straddle platform.
We intend to make fight sQuarely for

paramount issue. This is u time To fisht
MS we never fought before.
His position on the Dingley meas
ure is being used as a weapon against
him, but the most radical tariff advo-
cate does not doubt what his attitude
will be on any of the protected inter
ests when the legitimate opportunity
arrives. 1t would seem that the wool
interests will not wish to stand before
the public as entirely blinded by
prejudice. We do not believe the
wool interests can be all selfshness
nor that they wish to appear so. 1t
would appear so il the knife were |
mercilessly unsheathed by them for
their heretofore steadfast friend sim
ply because the advantages for them

greater degree for another great
cause, and with 1t, little later on, a
brighter light for wool. That indus
