The behavior of the notorious JONES
in the legislature during the bribery
investigation is convincing proof that
he is more fool than scoundrel and a
filter subject for Blackfoot than for
the penitentiary. If the proceedings
of his trial before the house we're prop
erly reported he voted for his own ex-
pulsion and in that instance displayed
more sanity than a number Of other

In the Arcadian, henceforth and
hereafter, which the brilliant Legisla-
ture of Idaho is striving to make less
distant, the dude and the COW boy Gig
arctic fiends will be forced to smuggle
their detested air poluters and brain
destroyers into this proud common
wealth, or strive to quit the detested
habit of using them. Our law makers
have sat down upon their sale and pro-
vided for their sequestration and de-
struction, with fine for the person
who sells or gives them away. But
there has long been law on the stat
ute books prohibiting their sale to
miners, and whoever knew of it having
been enforced or obeyed.

Viewed ut Short Range.

MIR. H. G. Anchor, who has been in
Boise FOR the past six weeks, or long
enough to have entitled him to a men,
bership in the Third house, came home
on Saturday. He has had an interest
ing experience visiting the legislature,
primarily in the interest of securing
his just dues from the state for the op-
ais stolen from him at the Worlds
Fair, and, incidentally, in helping to
promote or defeat measures affecting
the mining interests.
He does not place very exalted es-
innate upon the ability or even the
horse sense of a large number of mem
bers of the senate and house, but says
there are a few bright members, among
whom the Owyhee delegation sizes up
well, and that Owyhee people have
cause to be proud of their delegation.
When asked his opinion about the
JONES scandal, he said JONES was
crank and that Elmore county people
ought to feel deeply their disgrace for
electing such man to represent them;
and that he is quite satisfied that
JONES was not bribed, because he was
watched too closely to have made it
possible. He thinks his disappoint-
ment at not getting an opportunity to
line his pockets added what little
brain the poor fellow had, and that his
affidavit was the result of disappoint-
ment and an added brain-poor fellow!
We are glad to announce that Mr..
Anchor secured the amount justly due
him from the state for the opals loaned
to the Worlds Fair exhibit and stolen,
but regret to say that the claim of the
DeLamar bullion, stolen about the
same time was not also allowed.

Huntley to give notice to'all aliens en-
ployed by the company to take out
their papers or quit, sent all of them
scurrying up to Silver City to transact
little business with Clerk of the
T. urt, Ballard.
Although the real purpose of this
law was to prevent railroad and ditch
companies from importing into the
state great numbers of Mongolians, it
of course hit mining companies en-
ploying alien miners as we'll, and popu-
lar sentiment, even among those hit
thereby, declares that it was right. 1t
hit forty or fifty men in this camp and,
with only very rare exceptions, they
admit its justice. But there are others
men who still think they reside in
Great Britain-and it makes those who
were born or have been made citizens,
enjoy the discomfort of the few.
We have in our mind one elderly
gentleman, who took out his papers
this week-a typical Johnny Bull, af-
fable and intelligent, who loved to dis
cuss political issues, is an out-and-out
goldbug, has lived in the United States
a number of years, who always joined
in singing "America" when that grand
old hymn was sung, but always thought
it was "God Save the Queen" which
was,being sung and sung it as such.
We hope some one will send him the
lines of the American hymn. If he will
now only make as patriotic an Amer
Ican sovereign as he has heretofore
Deeu loyal British subject we will all
rejoice at his conversion"

Situation at DcLamar, Nevada-

The miners employed at DeLamar,
Nevada, met promptly after learning
that Captain DeLamar had ordered a
shut down, and passed strong resolu-
tions disclaiming any intention to
make demands upon the company for
an increase of wages and expressing
satisfaction with the treatment they
had received from the manager and
thanking Captain DeLamar for the
money expenditure he had made for
their comfort and convenience. Man
ager Cohen, on receiving a copy Of
these resolutions, expressed his graf
ification and assured the men that
work would start again, as usual, as
soon as some repairs and improvements
could be made, work upon which could
be better done while the mill was not
running Thus is happily ended what
might, in the hands of agitators and
walking delegates" 1--WE quote the
phraze, because these agitators only
walk where Pullman cars and carriages
cannot go) might have caused long
stoppage of one of the greatest pro-
ducers in the mining districts and en-
tailed great losses upon the employees
who owned homes in the camp, as well
as upon all the people doing business
there

We believe it is usual when an extra
session of Congress is called, for the
President to state specifically the sub
jects to be considered. In President
McKinley's call there is no limit to
what Congress may do; hence the spe-
cial session is likely to last greater
part of the summer. 1t has been un-
derstood that the session would be
called chiefly to revise or crystalize
into law new tariff, but as Mr.. Cleve-
land permitted some of the appropria-
ton bills to lapse, of course they will
have to be first attended to, and before
the 18th of May in all probability there
will be new ambassadors to all the
chief courts of Europe, and their re-
ports may possibly precipitate the sill
yer question as the second great ques-
ton to be considered. Members of
Congress had better make up their
minds that it will be their duty this
year to pass most of the hot season

DESTRUCTION OF BIRDS.

Their Migration Usually Attended by
Great Loss sof Life.
The long semi-annual migrations of
birds are attended by mum berless perils
and great loss Of life, says the Youths
Companion. A dispatch from Baton
Rouge, La, some time ago affords a
striking instance. One morning early
risers there witnessed a peculiar phe-
nomenon-a shower of dead birds that
fell from clear sky and literally clut.
tered the streets. There were ducks
catbirds. woodpeckers and many birds
OF strange plumage, some of them re
sembling canaries, but all dead. The,
fell in heaps along the thoroughfares
The most plausible explanation of the
strange windfall, the sender of the dis
patch thinks, is that the birds were
driven inland by recent severe storm
on the Florida coast. Doubtless thew
were caught by some sudden change of
weather while they were migrating at a
great height, perhaps several miles
above the earth. Some idea of the ex.
tent Of the shower may be gathered
from the fact that in one avenue chill
dren picked up as many as 200 birds.

The Earthanake Coat

The recent earthquake shock in Eng
land has brought about the invention
of the most unique thing In wearing
apparel-the earthquake coat. Once
enveloped in this extraordinary gar
ment, man may laugh at earthquakes
and snap his fingers at volcanic erup-
tions. The coat reaches from the head
to the feet and is made Of the heaviest
cloth procurable. 1t is really two coats.
one over the other. The space between
them is heavily padded and a hood,
with four inches of padding in the
crown, goes with it. Instead of buttons
there are clasps on the coat, so that il
can be fastened In a few seconds. On
each side are ten pockets of various
shapes and sizes, for the carrying of
provisions. Each pocket is arranged for
certain articles of food and together
they will hold enough provisions for
several days. The coat is designed for
use as last resort only. The padding
is of sufficient thickness to give protec-
ton from falling objects while the
wearer is making his escape. The gar
ment need not be specially kept for
earthquakes, as it would be equally
useful for boiler explosions or crossing
crowded thoroughfares.-Phil

HE CURED HIS WIFE.
PHYSICIANS FAILED BUT THE
HUSBAND SUCCEEDED.

From the Capital St. John Kansas
While conversing with a druggist in ST.
John, Kansas, the other day, reporters
attention was attracted by Tyre attached
to the door of the drug store. Every OPEN
ing OF the door caused several balls which
were suspended from the top Of the lnstru-
ment to swing back and forth, striking the
wires OF the Tyre and producing q very
pleasing and musical sound. Upon exam
nation we perceived that the instrument
was simply novel scheme TO advertise
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. We INQUIRED OF
the druggist If he had much sale for the
Pink Plus, and he informed us that they
were his leading sellers. We then asked
him what his opinion was Of their curative
qualities. He told MS of several cures which
had been effected by their use, one in par
ticuiar, that OF q prominent farmers wife,
by the name Of Humes.
The scribe became very much interested
and determined to interview Mr. Humes in
regard TO the matter. He spoke as follows:
II desire to state that consider DR.. Will
lams' Pink Pills one of the srandest rene
dies ever placed upon the market. My wife
had been troubled for a long time with pa
ralysis In one Of her arms. She doctored
with several physicians and tried every
medicine she could hear Of but obtained no
relief Whatever spent great deal of
money in an endeavor to cure her. but IL
seemed like vain effort At last an old
gentleman who had used DIR. Williams
Pink Pills with great benefit, told me what
they had done for him. purchased box,
determined to test their merits.
MY wife began using them, and to nv
surprise, as well as hers, she commenced
improving in health wonderfully, and at
this time is perfectly cured ! have used
them since myself for catarrh and found I
obtained great relief. They are in my esti-
nation one of the best medicines manu-
featured, and l am willing at all times to
recommend them to all who are ailing, for
l truthfully believe they will do all that is
promised for them"
MIR. Humes is well known throughout
Stafford County, Kansas, and his statement
can be relied upon.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
densed form, all the clements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, Irregularities and all forms
of weakness. They build up the blood, and
restore the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they effect radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
work or excuses of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk
at so cents a box or six boxes for $3.50, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct by
mail from DIR. Williams Medicine Company,

MerIL Wins.

The Invention OF Alabastine marked
a new era in wall coatings. and from
the standpoint of the building owner
was a most Important discovery. 1t
has from a small beginning branched
out into every country of the civilized
world. The name 'kalsomine" has be-
come so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers of cheap kalso-
mine preparations are now calling
them by some other name. and at
tempting TO sell on the Alabastine COM
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and
personal use. the merits of the durable
Alabastine are so thoroughly known
that the people insist on getting these
goods and will take no chance of spoil
ing their walls for possible saving of
at the most but a few cents. Thus it
is again demonstrated that merit wins,
and that manufacturers of f1rst-class
articles will be supported by the
people.
