ter of L. n. Boone, the traffic manager
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. Mr.. Boone is the great-grand-
son of the ancient Daniel. His grand
father was the youngest and favorite
son of the pioneer, General Nathan
Boone, who was an officer in the Uni
ted States army. General Boone's
Youngest son was John G. Boone,
whose wife was Mary Wardlow, of
Missouri, and these two were the
grandparents of the pink and white
baby. Miss Boone is now five months
old and does not greatly resemble her
immortal ancestor. Tradition has it
that his eyes were of a beautiful sky
blue while Baby BOone's eyes are of
liquid brown The Boone blood is
more evident in Baby Boone's little
brother Hudson WardlOW Boone, a 4
year-old. He has the light hair of his
t-great-grandfather Little Hud-
son has also the Boone blue eye. He is
stout on his legs, brave and manly,
but whether he has the spirit of his
great ancestor is a matter to which
time alone can testify. His infant sis
ter will be strong woman if her baby
hood fulfillS It's promise.

INSPECTED LEHl BEET WORKS
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Looking mt IA Growing Industry.

Salt Lake, Aug. lS.-James Wilson,
secretary of agriculture, arrived here
yesterday, after spending a whole day at
the Lehi beet-sugar works, SO miles
from Salt Lake. In an interview to
night, he said:
II am astonshed to find it the only
plant in this country which is saving
annually American sugar-be seed for
planting each successive season. The
government will purchase all of the sur
plus beet seeds for distribution, besides
a chemical test at the government expert
menting stations. Their quality will be
compared with the German and French
imported seeds, and if they are even equal
in grade it means that the American seed
can be planted and grown at cost much
less than the foreign article. The depart
ment will then issue these statistics and
push in every way the cultivation of
sugar beets on the arabic lands of the
west"
Mr.. Wilson will 60 from here to Ida,

PEDERsEN AND HIS BICYCLE.

lures wherein this machine differs ma
terially from the ordinary bicycle is
the weight. Cantileyers range in
weight from the nine-pound racer to a
wheel for rough use, which weighs
fourteen pounds.
The construction is the outcome of
the inventors desire to secure a per-
feet seat Mr.. Nickall Petersen is a
Dane, residing in England, and he has
been a Wheelman for twenty years.
His idea was to enjoy the comfort of
hammock on a bicycle which he ac-
cOmplished by the use of silk strings
on which the saddle rests.
The front forks are attached to the
rest of the frame by a pivot connection
at the top and by a strong pivot hinge
at the point shown in the cut just
where the lower part of the frame
joining with the crank hanger goes I'D
to point near the top of the front
wheel. This connection gives the ma
chine a sensitive steering device.

SILVER BELL MINE IN MONTANA.
A Remarkably Rich Lead and silver
Proposition.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. ia. W..
Moore, president and manager of the
Silver Bell Mining Company of Missoula
county Montana, was in the city Mon
day contracting supplies for his mine. The
Silver Bell is a promising mining property
in the western part of Missoula county
Is miles from Thompson Falls, on the
northeast side of the Occur dAlene range
Development work has been going for
ward on the property steadily during the
past six years, one shift being constantly
employed, and during the greater part
of the time three shifts of eight hours
each have been at work. The mine Is
owned solely by citizens of Missoula and
the controlling interest is held by A. w.
Moore. Associated with him are Alfred
Cave, county treasurer, and j. w Moore.
The Silver Bell is considered by well
informed mining men who have invest
tigated it one of the largest and best
silver-lead propositions in the state of
Montana, and when the present plans
of the company are carried out, the
property may be expected to take its
place as one of the great mines of the
northwest. Over $4,000 have been eX-
pended and 400 feet of development
work show where the money went. The
tunnel has tapped the lead at a depth
of $50 feet, and the ledge is II feet wide
between the walls.

ENGLAND FOR GOLD ONLY.
Folly of Pooling with President
Mckinley's Commission.

London, Aug. lS.-The Westminster
Gazette echoes the editorial of the Lon
don Times on bimetallism and says it
sees no chance of the Indian minis be
ing reopened to coinage of silver, adding;
ITO fool any longer with President Me
Kinley's commission is surely unneces-
sary, In declining to abide by the mar
ket value of silver as the standard of cur
rency value, India has taken a step to-
ward demonetizing silver. Japan and Rus
STA have adopted the gold standard, and
no one means to go back on it. They
will soon say so and not be deferred by
the possibility of a Bryan victory, and
dismiss the question finally

BANKERS IN SESSION IN DETROIT.
1t Has Been "a Bad Year for the
burglars.


Detroit, Aug. l8.-The banking inter
ests of the country were well represent
ed this morning when about 500 dele
gates to the American association as
sembled in the Detroit opera house to
attend the opening session OF the $50
annual session of that body. The wei
coming speech of Governor Pingree, while
considered somewhat radical by some OF
the members, was on the whole well re
ceived, and he received a generous amount
of applause at its conclusion.
William II. Porter, treasurer OF the as
ISOLATION reported the receipts for the
year 1851, and disbursements $l4,oo9'
During the past year not member
of the association has lost dollar
through burglary, and every proies-
sional operator to whom the attention
of the protective committee has been
called has either been convicted, IS no"
awaiting trial or has been released on
turning states evidence.

EIGHTY BUSHELS TO THE ACRE.
NeZ Perez Farmers Are JubiIant
over Present Prices.

Nez Perez, Idaho, Aug. l9.-Nowhere--
not even in the famous Palouse--have
such magnificent crops of grain, sod
grown and inditlerently cultivated, owing
to the newness of the country and late
sowing, been grown as this years crop
on the Nez Perez reservation. The trans
formation of this country from a cayusc-
dotted wilderness to an agricultural dis
trict producing 100000 bushels of splen
did grain, cared for by up-to-date farmers,
within period of two years, is amazing,
even to the hardy settlers themselves.
The average wheat field on the reserya-
ton, 1T is estimated, will yield IS bushels
to the acre, and in many fields the yield
will easily be from so to 60 bushels to
the acre

ASSESSING THE SHEEP.
Idaho Having Trouble Under the
Grazing Law.

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 18.-The board of
equalization sent the secretary of Ada
county to Custer to get the abstract of
assessment roll of that county. Mem
bers of the board who have been absent
looking up the matter of the assessment
of sheep have all returned. Deputy Aud
itor Turner came with State Auditor An
derson from Bannock. He states that
the abstract of assessment shows the
correct number of sheep for that county.
The sheep which it has been supposed
are grazed there, he says. are grazed in
Bingham State Auditor Storrer, who
has been to bingham to look into the
subject, is of the same opinion. He
states the action of the state board has
had the effect of stirring up the officials
there and the assessor has gone out to
hunt up the sheep. Storrer thinks that
from 100000 to 10000 will be found.
The state, he says, will get its proportion
of taxes, but the questionoof fixing the
total assessment of the county for the
purpose of making state apportionment
of taxes is on there does not seem to be
any solution for, as the appOrtionment
must be made now. In Blaine county
Secretary of State Lewis arranged with
the assessor and auditor to add 10000
six months sheep to the assessment roll
These have not yet been assessed, but
the assessor is after them. There is much
about some of the cases that officials can
not understand. 1t seems strange at
least that abstracts should have been sent
in with such discrepancies hidden be-
meath the surface.

MARTIAL LAW IN THE TOWNSHIPS.
Pennsylvania Citizens Prevented
From Going Near Coal Mines.

Pittsburg, Aug. l8.--Martial law to
all intents and purposes has been de
clared in Plum, Patton and wilkins
townships by Sheriff Lowry. The three
mines of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company also are in these
townships, and all roads leading to
them will be patrolled by deputies.
Persons who can not give a satisfactory
account of themselves will be ordered
to leave the neighborhood and upon re.
fusal will be arrested.
Made an Invasion.
Hillsboro, ILL.,, Aug. lS.-SiX hundred
striking coal miners, eight abreast, in.
vaded Coffeen, throwing aside the deputy
sheriffs doing guard duty, and going
through the town pellmell. The officials
ordered the guards not to shoot, but they
began making arrests as far as possible.
General Bradley was the first man placed
under arrest, and three guards came to
this city with him as fast as horses could
travel He is now in the county Jail.
Other prisoners are on the way here. No
shots were fired and no blood was she'd.
The invasion was for the purpose of i'll
ducing the men at work in the mine there
to cease and join the strike. The sheriff
will increase his force of deputies and the
invaders will be compelled to leave town
or there will be a conflict
