Departure of Captain Plummer and
Family,

Captain John w. Plummer, manager
Of the DeLamar mines, left home last
Saturday, with his family, and after at
tending the wedding of his daughter, in
Boise on Monday, departed for the east
taking his daughter, the elder Miss
Plummer, and his son, Percy, to the
home of their grandparents, at Fort
Williams, Ontario, where they will re-
main for the summer. The Captain
and Mrs. Plummer will meet the Rev.
and Mrs. Hamilton in New York and
after that take passage for Europe on
the Teutonic, which sails on the 18th
instant.
During the more than five years in
which Captain Plummer has had the
management of the great DeLamar
property his labors have been SO ar
dous that they have told very severely
upon his health; and, although not pub
licly announced, it is generally under
stood that he will no longer have
immediate charge of the management
here, but will have a general super
vision of this and other extensive in
terests of the English syndicate, which
owns large share in this and controls
several other American mining proper
ties. He and family will not return
here to reside.
More than five years ago the editor
of one of the leading Montana daily pa
pers remarked to the writer that Cap
tain Plummer possessed a combination
of characteristics which more admirab-
ly fitted him for manager of great min
ing property than any man of his ac-
quaintance. These were, good finan-
cier, a good executive officer and a good
miner We believe that no one who
has watched his management of the
great property here, will gainsay that
that claim made for him by a friend.
A few days since, an employee of the
company, remarked in our hearing,
Notwithstanding have had several
little differences with Captain Plum
mer, and have by no means been ia
vorite of his, predict that whose
ever may take his place here, it will not
be long before we will wish we had the
old Man back again"
The NUGGET joins with the entire
camp in wishing him and Mrs. Plum
mer bon voyage, and him restored
health.

A Heavy storm,

On Wednesday afternoon this camp
was visited by the severest rain storm
ever seen here since the place was set
| tied. For nearly an hour the rain and
hail came down in torrent. The TOP
| of DeLamar mountain appeared to be
the center of the storm, which was ac-
companied by vivid flashes of lightning
and heavy claps of thunder The
floods rushed down from the hill-sides
in torrents, washing mud into many of
the dwellings and business houses. At
the small gulch just below the mill, the
force of the flood was greatest and it
washed hundreds of tons of rock and
dirt down on the small fiat at the end
of the mill. A large dump at the mouth
of the tunnel above the mill was cut in
two and one half of it washed away
The aggregate of damage done by the
storm was considerable in cutting out
roads, filling bitches, and carrying mud
into houses, but the damage at any one
point was not very great.
The strangest effects of the storm
was the freaks played by lightning in
the mines and long distance from the
surface The men in the mine, who of
course could not see or hear the storm,
were in several instances the victims
of severe shocks. Joe Wilson, who was
on the fourth level, was knocked down
upon catching hold of bell wire; and
four or five men, including foreman
Davey, on the eighth level, and fully
1000 feet from the mouth of the tunnel,
were severely shocked by currents car
ried into the mine by the track rails.
The storm was scarcely two miles
wide, and did not reach more than
mile above or below the center of the
town. There was very little wind ac-
it.

A Happy wedding.

The marriage of Rev. Villain Angus
tus Hamilton, Archdeacon of Idano and
Wyoming, and Miss Ruby Violet Plum
mer, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John w.
Plummer, of DeLamar, at ST. Michael's
Church, Boise, Idaho, on the 9th inst,
was happy affair in which all the
Owyhee friends of the high contracting
parties have taken great interest.
The impressive ceremony was per-
formed by the Rt. Reverend Ethelbert
Talbot, Bishop of this diocese, in the
presence of relatives and friends. Miss
Daisy Plummer, sister of the bride Off
icating as maid of honor, and Mr.. Will
liam Plummer, a relative of the bride,
acted as best man.
After the ceremony the bridal party
was driven to st. Margaret's, where an
elegant wedding breakfast was served
and congratulations received. A num-
Der of elegant wedding presents were
received, among them being a hand
some check from the brides father and
an elegant and costly solid silver din
ner service from Mr. Henry Bratnober,
longtime friend of the brides pa
rents. Mrs. Hamilton, mother of the
happy groom, came all the way from
New York, to be present at the happy
event.
The groom, who is well known in
Idaho as principal aide of Bishop Tai
bot, has been for some months past a
resident of DeLamar, in charge of
church work here, and has made lots of
friends in Owyhee. He is a graduate
of the law school of Yale and one of
the most promising young clerghmen
of the country.
The young, charming and accom-
plished bride is the second daughter,
and one of the three children of Cap
tain and Mrs John W. Plummer Since
Captain Plummer has resided here, the
two daughters, accompanied by their
mother, spent two years in Europe as
finish to their education.
The bride and groom took their leave
for New York Immediately after the
wedding and will spend the summer in
the east.

Once before, in this country, the fin
ancial question was the leading issue
in a presidential campaign. The ques-
ton then came up on the proposition
to extend the charter of the old United
States Bank Andrew jackson was
then president. He was the very oppo-
site in his financial views from the pres
ent occupant of the White House and
was therefore opposed by all the bank
ing interests of the country, the bank
ers predicting dire ruin to the country
if their ideas should fail to prevail But
President jackson stood by the people,
as against the bankers, and plainly
told them not to re-elect him If they
desired to fix bank monopoly on the
country. He even threatened to with
draw the government deposits from the
United States Bank if reelected, and
the bankers of that day set up a howl.
similar to the dismal cry raised by the
Shylocks of the present day. Jackson
was triumphantly elected for a second
term, and against all the predictions of
the finaneiers, prosperity followed the
policy pursued by him. Events proved
that either the fnanciers were impelled
by purely selfish motives or that they
we're not as good financial prophets as
the common people. Is it not so now?

CIVIL SERVICE PRINCIPLES.
To BE Adopted in Chicago schools In
the Near Future.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The city board
nf education has decided by a practic-
ally unanimous vote to embody in Its
new rules the principles of the exist
ing civil service law. The employees
of the board, excepting superintendent,
teachers, the business manager, CHIEF
engineer, architect, auditor, attorney
and board clerk, are to be placed under
a system that will conform as nearly
as nosslble to the lines followed by the
CITY civil service commission.
The action Of last night does not give
the school employees into the hands OF
the existing commission in the city
hall. 1t makes a civil service commits
sion out of the boards W committee
ON rules, or a body subordinate to that
committee. The action took the form
of a resolution which was adopted attei
a lively discussion, and in which TIN
committee on rules was directed to EN-
body the necessary provisions in 1t
forthcoming report.
1t was generally understood that tn
ouestion of civil service would come u
at last nights session of the board, an
,bare was an unusual number OF vii
itors. Only two members were absen'
The triumph Of the new rule was a
oomplished after a sharp and spic
FIGHT among the members.
