The strength which comes to us
from eating nourishing food is better
than stimulation, because it Is new

that is lasting.
The difference between Shaker Cor

that IT helps nature TO make strength.
1t does not profess TO cure sick ness,
except as that sickness is a result of
weakness caused by food not properly

NEW MACHINERY DESTROYED.
Hundreds of Workmen in Enforced
IdlenesS-Fears That the Shafts
Will Be Flooded.

SPOKANE, WASH, March 1S.-A special
from Burke, Idaho, says that the mills and
tralnways of the Poorman and Tiger mines
have been burned, but the large hotel con-
nected with the mines saved The fire
started at an early hour this morning in
the compressor of the Poorman mine. 1t
gained great headway and attention was
Immediately turned to the adjoining build
ings. The efforts of many men could not
prevent the fire from gaining headway on
the tramwav, from which it was COM
municated to the mill of the Tiger mine
across the gulch.
When it was seen that neither of the
large buildings could be saved. attention
was turned to the little town. This by the
greatest efforts was saved.
The total loss will be about 5000, 900, with
insurance at rs per cent. A large amount
of new machinery was placed in the Tiger
mill only few days ago, and this, it is
said. was not covered by insurance.
Efforts are being made to run the pumps
of the Poorman and keep the mine from
flooding. If this cannot be done the COM
pany will suffer greas loss. Operations
will have to be suspended for fully SIX
months before the property can again be
worked.
The Tiger mine is owned principally by
s. S. Glidden and the Poorman by Patsy
Clarke, both of this city. The mines are
the best-paying properties in the Ceur
d'Alenes, and the loss by having to close
down will fall heavily on the owners, and
hundreds of workmen will become idle.

Had we not held our hand to the divine
plow and bent our shoulders to the war-wheel
and faced the national debt, the misrepre-
sentations of the press. the slander of foes and
not know the army, and attributed other mo-
tives to its work than those which were really
correct, we should not have stood to-day with
a backing of over 1000 officers seeking to
bring the Kingdom of heaven on the earth.
"There you see," she continued. "that is
exactly our ideas and what we teach, that
the kingdom of heaven is on this earth.
Some time in last December the general
sent letter to the Salvation Army head
quarters here and that was sent on to the
commander, ana as it contained enough
thunderbolts to shatter any army,
it is no wonder that it brought
about disruption in the Salvation
Army. After Commander Booth read
it. it must have changed his line OF
thoughts ana caused him to turn from the
teachings of his father, which is that
heaven can be reached through death and
the grave. They teach that you must die
to reach heaven, while our belief is that
in life there is heaven on earth. 1t is
such beautiful belief that no wonder
Commander Booth adopted it,"
The general is at this time preparing

the south side of Brannan street, between

rudely painted sign which conveys the in
formation that in few days the premises

tended to so feet. 1t will be arranged with
single beds and will furnish shelter for
about fifty. Underneath these will be fit

served to the deserving poor.
'No," said the general in response to a
question. "We are not organized in oppo-
sition to the Salvation Army, but if there
is anything in our manner OF working that
is similar to that of the Salvationists we
cannot help that. We aim to bring the
people to our view of thinking and to show

1t needed very bold man to resist the
medical testimony OF three centuries ago
against water drinking. Few writers can
be found to say good word for it. One
or two only are concerned to maintain
that "when begun in early life it may be
pretty freely drunk with impunity," and
they quote the curious instance given by
Sir Thomas Elyot in his castle of

ing about fifty years later, could even claim
among his acquaintance some honorable
and worshipfui ladies who drink little
other drink, and YET enjoy more perfect
health than most of them that drink OF the

niable, but the natural inference was none
the less to be resisted. Sir Thomas Elyot
himself is very certain, in spite OF the
Cornishmen, that there be in water causes

spleen and liver" He complains oddly

A Brother of the Late w. 0.
Allen Precipitates the
Action.
MOVES IN A STRANGE CASE
Deserted by a Relative of the Man
Alleged to Have Paid for His
Defense.

PORTLAND, Or, March 1s.-The bonds
men of LAWYER Xenophon n. Sleeves sur
rendered him 10 the authorities to-day,
and he was compelled to return to jail
after over a years liberty. Sleeves was
convicted of completely in the murder OF
George w. Sayres, who was killed on
Rocky Point in September, 1894, by the
hired assassin, "Bunko" Kelly, who is now
serving life sentence for the crime. One
of Sleeves bondsmen was w. 0. Allen, the
alleged instigator of the crime, who COM
mitted suicide some time ago. AS stated
in a dispatch to THE CALL, several days
ago, evidence has just come to light which
tends to prove that Allen supplied $4,000
to carry on the defense of Kelly and
Sleeves. Since his conviction the lawyer
had been out on bail, pending an appeal.
The lawyers sureties had announced
their unwillingness to longer be RESPONSE
bic for Sleeves appearance in court, and
consequently the authorities lost no time
in taking charge of him. The move was
unlocked for and created great surprise.
It was about IL o'clock when Sheriff Sears,
with a warrant in his pocket. was getting
ready to go downtown to look for his man.
In the corridors of the Courthouse he met
Sleeves, who was idly walking around, oc-
casionally speaking to an acquaintance. He
seemed not to have the remotest idea that
he was about to be returned to prison.
"Well, Steeves," the Sheriff said, "I'll
have to take you again. They want you" !"
Sleeves was astonished. whats the
matter; what do you mean?' be asked
quickly.
''Your bondsmen have surrendered you.
/ understand"
"Wha4's that? Surrendered me? Great
Scott, l never dreamed of leaving hereW
Presently be added: "Why l cannot be-
lieve it. Mrs. Mason surely did not OBJ
ject to remaining my surety"
Sleeves readily consented to go with the
Sheriff. AS soon as he expressed wish
TO make an effort to secure bondsman,
Deputy Sheriff Meyer went with Sleeves.
When some of his friends heard of it the
remark was made: There is some curious
work going on here"
1t is said the determination of Admins
traitor Allen of the w. 0. Allen estate to
surrender Sleeves was made known to the
District Attorney this morning. The ex-
ecutor is a brother of w. o. Allen, de-
ceased, and refuses to longer allow Aliens
name to remain on the bond. When
Sleeves was convicted of Iaanslaughter, he
furnished bonds for his appearance in the
sum of $4,000. Mrs. o. P. Mason, wife of
the lawyer, and w. O. Allen, the hacker Of
Sleeves, Kelly ct al, qualified as the bonds
men, and after sharp fight in court over
the statutory questions involved, Sleeves
was released. after about three or four
months confinement.
When Allen died last fall Sleeves mar
rowly escaped going to jail, because the
District Attorney wanted the court to pass
upon the question as to whether, in the
event OF Sleeves non-appearance, his es-
tate would be responsible for the payment
of the bond. Late this evening he had not
succeeded in furnishing new bond.
