There have been Two bllls introduced
which provide for penalties for dishonor-
ing or desecrating the American flag.
Representative Farr, of Lackawanna, and
Representative Keator, of Philadelphia,
are the authors Of these bills Strangely
enough neither provides for the desecra-
ton Of the Dag by advertisers. They SIM
ply make provision that it shall bs unlaw-
full for any person to wilfully or mali
eiously take down, pollute. injure, remove
or In any manner damage or destroy or
offer an insult TO an American flag or flag
staff.
Where 1t might be argued that this win
sufficiently protect the American flag and
bar out individuals and firms who desire
10 use the national emblem for the pur-
pose Of advertising corn cures or peotoral
syrups neither one defines the subject In
specific language. 1t Is possible. however,
that amendments will be offered TO these
bills which win cover this phase Of the
question.

occurred in the jail there during the late term of federal court Jose Sando- val, Mexican, had been convicted of selling liquor to Haulapai Indians and had been sentenced After he was re- manded he wanted the sentence read to him again, as he had imperfectly under stood it. The interpreter, a harness maker named Gales, was sent for He had copy Of the sentence Tn his pocket with lot of other papers. Taking out what he thought was the sentence he began to read, the words proceeding from his mouth as from photograph. Sud- denly Sandovai began to howl and scream. He dashed against the bars of his cage and created an outcry that alarmed everybody in the vicinity, but nobody more than the interpreter, who thought the prisoner had gone crazy. It transpired that instead of having read Sandoval's sentence he had been reading a copy of the sentence of Jim Parker, who is to be hanged in few days. It was some time before Slndoval could be restored to quIet. When the nature of the mistake was finally explained to him, still pale and grinning through his tears, he said in broken English, that he thought that was h-l of a sentence for selling a bottle of whisky to an Indian.

Last night as the tram from the north was making good time toward Phenix coming down the grade couple of miles this side of Vulture Siding, a man sud- denly appeared on the track fifty or sixty feet Tn front of the engine, wildly swing ing his coat. Engineer Langdon, as soon as he saw the man, applied the air brakes, reversed his eng.ne and blew his whistle. The man apparently made an effort to leave the track, but was be- wlldered, and the engine struck him just as he had placed one foot on the outside of the rail. The unfortunate man was instantly killed and thrown to one side of the track. The coroner's jury ex- onerated the railroad from all blame in the premises Herald

With silver used alone for art pur- poses, not as money, the people would continue to grow poorer, more coined silver would be unloaded on the com
 mercial market, and as only the rich could purchase silver art work, the price would be so low silver could no longer be mined, says the Salt Lake Tribune But should that time ever come it will find the world retrograding to barbarism fast CT than since, through scarcity of money and the rule of priest craft and king craft Europe went down into the night of the middle ages: when men ceased to be fit for soldiers and women were unfit to become the mothers of soldiers, and only the surgery of years, of war and revolution, could cure the disease and wipe out the crime Record

Isarsest Pdmp in the W6rid.

The largest pump in the world is at Lake Linden, Mich, and is owned and operated by the Calumet and Hecla Min
 ing Company, says the Chicago Record. The Calumet and Hecla pump, named the Michigan, is truly marvellous piece of mechanism. It can deliver 2 800, ,000 gallons of water every hour in the A without being crowded to it's limit of capacity, and it will do the work with scarcely as much noise as IS made by the operation of an old-style sewing machine Outside the doors of the great building which houses it no sound is heard from within, and, standing beside the mon- ster, upon the brink of the pit connected with the lake from which the water is taken, almost the only sound heard is the noise of the suction, as with every stroke more than thousand gallons are lit'ed. Briefly it is triple expansion pumping engine with a capacity of 60, 000,000 gallons, standing nearly if, feet in helght and requiring 1,500 hors'
 power for it's operation. IL has beer proved by actual tests that the nominal capacity can be easily maintained for an indefinite time without injury or strain, and that if pushed to it's full capacity the pump would handle approximately 75, 900, ,0O0 gallons of water in twenty-four consecutive hours. The duty of the pump is to furnish water for the great stamp mills of the Calumet and Hecla company. The pump is housed in a special building near the shore of Lake Torch and below the mills, and it forces a steady stream of water 10 the upper portions of the mill, where innumerable small jets play upon the great slime tables and jigs. Here the specific gray ity of the fine particles of copper con- tained in the rock separate the mineral from worthless sand, and the size and force of the streams of water are so nice " regulated as to wash away the sand and yet carry with it the minimum of copper-Western Mining World.

A group o men on the street corner were discussing the evil of "gun pack ing" Some thought it good thing to do, some thought it otherwise. Every man is entitled to his own opinion on this, as in all matters; but, boys, I have seen the west as but few men have seen it, and have seen ''gun plays" of "all sizes and forms" I have never known a man to use gun, but what he was sorry for it afterward, even when used in actual self defense. Men quarrel, get angry, say unkind things ot and to each other, but none of these things justi6es the use of "gun." If there is no gun in the pocket a mans anger will cool off and there will be no evil results, but if the ''gun IS on the hip,' the disgrace of killing, arrest, imprisonment, and all the attendant evils must be waded through. Boys, for our own sakes, and for the sakes of those who love us, let us "pack nary gun "-Jerome News

Hoodooiqs @aIes.

Of all Gods cattle, roaming at large on the face of the earth, the backcapper is the worst. He wages war against the prosperity of the community in which he lives and performs the dog in the man. ger act whenever an opportunity presents itself. He is found, more or less, in all vacations, but the field in which he de- lights to revel-in which he can kick his heels the highest and snort the loudest is the mining industry. Here his diver sified talents for islander and misrepre sentatlon find ample scope. Knowing that capital is timid, especially when seeking investments upon large scale as is usually the case in mining deals, the backcapper recognizes his golden op. portunty to gloat He oils up his hoo doc, sees that every part of it's delicate machinery is in perfect order, and then gets focus on the would be purchaser Usually he brings down his game, and with a large invoice of satisfaction in
  tim. His most gllttering triumphs are registered when the sale of a mining property is almost consummated, and when it's reputation is as sensitive to islander as the good name of a pure wo- man. IL is then that he approaches the buyer with the statement that he hopes the seller will do we'll in letting go of the property for he could do nothing with it him self, on account of reasons known only to those on the inside. With language of this type, covert insinuations that may mean little or much, he fright. ems capital into indefinite delay and finally perhaps succeeds in preventing the deal. Thus loss is inflicted upon the seller who lacks the money to work the property-upon the buyer. who misses the opportunity of a lifetime to quadruple his wealth, and upon the com munity that loses the industrial value of producing mine. The back gapper is actuated by one of two motives -the hope that he can defect capital from it's avowed purpose into channels more profitable to himself or to inflict injury upon the would be seller. The first muve he tries to justify on business grounds; the second he never ac- knowledges. Human experience has shown over and over again, that no man ever added substantial prop to his own business interests by pulling down those of his fellow man and to iDf1ict loss up- on others, to the detrlment of the com munity, is like derailing a passenger train to get even with the conductor. There are few mining districts in this state where the deadly backcapper has not operated with success. Many dis tricts have surrendered to the virus of his hoodoo and gone into permanent re- tirement While the widcatter is busy trying to swindle the would be investor, the backcapper is equally busy, in a more quiet way, trying to prevent the sale of desirable properties. Each is in his own way pest Both are enemies to the communities in which they operate and should become the targets for pop uIar disapproval.

4 Prospect6r in ISucB.

The Press of Wallace, Ida, says: Dame Fortun calls on man once in a while when least expected. One of the latest 10 come under her benign influence is Frank Peters, a prospector in the Pierce City country. Peters is a miner by profession, and for sometime was em- ployed at Granite Mountain, Mont. For some reason best known to himself he decided to try his luck prospecting, and tor about two years and half has made rather slim living in the country where he is now located, by placer mining, hunting and trapping. Early in May he started to run a ditch in what is known as Dutchman gulch," to carry water 10 a placer claim in the gulch adjoining. He had just got fairly started when he uncovered lead showing free gold. AS near as can be learned the vein is eight to ten inches thick and runs from 900$ to 4,000$ ton. The ore is free milling snd when last heard fir m Peters had several thousand dollars Tn sight ln the claim. He is an industrious, sober man and it would be hard to find one more deserv ing of good fortune.
 The strike has created considerable ex citement. All the adjoining ground is located. The Gaffney boys own claim next to Peters which they think will turn out equally as we'll. The property is located about 23 miles south of Pierce City on the Lolo trail Deputy Assessor DoWd says Peters has fortune Tn sight

ANARCHISM ON the WANE.

Most of the anarchists holding the So
called revolution by force" views, who
we're 90 prominent in Chicago and New
York few years since, have dropped out
of sight.
At last accounts Lucy Parsons only of
the Chicago group implicated in the Hay
market trouble was much in evidence.
Although she devotes most of her time to
selling teas and coffees, soap, spices, etc +,
she yet occasionally makes public ad-
dress, and is ready at all times, both in
season and out of season, to speak out
for the red flag. Her home in Avondale,
once suburb of Chicago, but now in
cluded in the city limits, is unique and
characteristic. It ia one OF the few dwell

the others, it is built chiefly of wood, but
