father" Elliot in the Indian Bible
uses Gosh for God and Our Heavenly
Father. The Indians soon learned that
settlers used the same word when swear
ing in anger, and the Indians prefixed
gosh to gewheteke, and 10 years ago,
"gosh all whitticutt" was a phrase in
common use, called deacon's swearing;
it may fairly be translated "God and
Battle" Indian words so forcible to the
eye arc sometimes very pretty when
traced to their roots, thus young girls
are "squog," from "star." When grown

Nicaragua's Electric Bush.

A plant, which shows decided electro
magnetic properties, the phytolacca
electrical, was recently found in Mic
aragua If one of the branches of this
plant is touched with the naked hand Il
shock is felt similar to that produced
by the discharge of Ruhmkolff coil.
The influence upon a magnetic needle
deviating from its proper. direction.
This influence increases as one gets
nearer to the plant, and if the magnetic
needle is brought into the midst of a
phytolacca bush it will assume a steady
circular movement. The ground upon
which this plant thriyes does not show
even a trace of iron or any other metal
lie substance which would be likely to
influence magnetic needle, therefore
there is no room for doubt that the
curious plant really possesses that pc
culiar property. The intensity of the
phenomenon seems to depend entirely
upon the time of day; during the night
it ceases altogether, while the maxi
mum of the electrical influence occurs
about two o'clock of the afternoon. If
the weather is stormy the magnetic
electrical properties of the phytolacca
are considerably increased.-N. Y.

Queen victoria's Gar Dress.

The queen had always liking for
gay colors, and a lady who was pre-
sented to her on her first visit to Deeside
gives the following interesting account
of the queens dress: Her majesty wore
q bright blue silk dress with a great
number of founces of various depths,
each edged with narrow black velvet
over a not inconsiderable crinoline;
above this very brilliant garment she
wore royal Stuart tartan shawl in all
it's rainbow colors, a white chip bonnet
trimmed with pink roses and blue rib
bon bows; white veil and pale lemon
colored gloves completed what could
hardly be called a quiet costume. She
carried in her hand a small blue silk
parasol with thick fringe of the same
shade and with a white ivory handle
and stalk.-Woman.

A WOMAN MINER.
Fame and Fortune Won by Her
Courage.
Tho Widow of q Former Army ON
Ger Who Knows How to Take
Care of Herself-Her Work
in the Mine.

Bloomers have brought about the for
tune of at least one woman. She is
Mrs. Arthur Rlgdon, of Pearl, Idaho,
who owns the ''Woman's S Rights Claim"
a mining ledge which has proved
bonanza
Mrs. Rigdon is the only woman in the
camp. The ''Woman's Rights Claim"
was secured by Mrs. Rigdon by location
that is by stalking off" This claim
is 1,500 feet long, 600 feet in width, and
is the most valuable piece of property
in that region. Mrs. Rigdon secured it
five years ago. The "croppinys' were
plainly visible ana at the time there
were comparatively few miners there.
Experts who have examined Mrs. Rig
don's claim assert that she will be a
millionaire in years time. The for
tunate woman miner is the widow of
British army officer. She is highly in
tellectual and has made a thorough
study of mining. She was left a widow
seven years ago, and it was then that
she conceived the idea of putting her
knowledge to some practical use. Her
decision to settle at Pearl was made
after she had visited several other
western mining camps, and as soon as
her claim was ''staked'' she had it re-
corded. Then it was that her hard
work began.
Day after day this strange woman
may be seen descending into her mine,
only to come again to the earth's sur
face covered with dirt, but always with
a face glowing with enthusiasm.
When the report was spread about
that Mrs. Rigdon was wearing ''trous-
ers" and working in the mines like
man the women folk of the surround
ing country were shocked, and many
were the stories that passed from lip
to lip. Now all this is changed.
While there is much jealousy over the
rich find in the !'Woman's Rights
Claim" there is at least, one man who
is delighted with the widows prize. He
is known as Creeping JIM" and was a
short while ago one of the biggest bull
lies in this section. He was shot into
better manners. This happened over
year ago.
Mrs. Rigdon was about to lower her
self down the shaft of her mine when
Jim approached and asked permission
to make a descent. Mrs. RigdOn con
sented, and the two were lowered to-
gether Hardly had they reached the
bottom of the shaft when Jim rushed al
the widow and attempted to overpowel
her. Mrs. Rigdon always carries re.
volver. Quick as a flash she stepped
aside, and in another instant she had
sent two bullets into the big miner.
He dropped like an OK, one bullet hav
ing penetrated his brain. the other hav-
ing taken effect just below the right
knee. Mrs. Rigdon was hoisted to the
surface, and later Jim was hauled up.
Since that time he has been one of the
widows most ardent admirers.-N. Y.

These bills originated in and were
passed by the legislature two years

amendment, which was adopted.
The two bills for the taxation of ex-
press companies, one by Mr.. Dyer and

on taxation, were taken up together
and IN a manner explained by Mr..
Smith. He stated that both bills were
been carried to the supreme court OF
the United States and both having
been sustained as constitutional.
After considerable discussion the Dyer
bill was passed by unanimous vote

PART OF THEM TRUE.

The Charges Against Labor Commits
sioner Powers Are Reported On.
Labor Commissioner Powers will find
neither complete vindication nor utter
condemnation in the report Of the spe-
cial invest eating committee submitted
to the senate yesterday with the unan-
imous approval of the committee. The
report finds three of the charges untrue
and the other three true, either in part
or IN whole.
All the personal charges involving
Mr.. Powers integrity are found un-
true. Trips to Leech lake and Rainy
lake were made during vacation time.
The charge that the factory law has
not been enforced is not fully sus-
tanned, yet the committee recommends
that more attention be paid to that
branch of the work of the bureau.
The committee declares that the "Pur-
chasing Power of Gold" treated of sub
Jects not prescribed by law and was
given early publication for the sake of
political effect. This act of the bureau
is condemned by the committee. The
charge that statistics have been gath
llshed is sustained, and the committee
finds false the charge of garbiino
mortgage statistics.
A reduction of the employees OF the
bureau cutting off $4,000 yearly ex-
pense is favored by the committee, and
1t accordingly commends to the senate
the passage of S. f. sos, the Stevens
Dill to reconstruct the bureau.
The reapportionment bill was taken
up at 2 30 as the special order. Sena.
tor Ozmun stated that the committee
had worked hard, and, while the bill
might not be entirely satisfactory, it
was we'll meant. This opened up a
discussion in which a number OF
amendments We're made and the bill
was finally passed by vote of 80 to 10.
The towns and counties committee
reported the Feig peddlers' license bill
tavorably. Senator Thorpe asked tina
the rules be suspended and the bill
passed. Senator McHale said the bill
was merltorlous, Ill his belief, as the
majority of what he terms "city''
measures. Senator Ringdahl opposed
the bill. He said it was as honorable
to sell goods from pack as from
store. The tax was unconstitutional
in his opinion, under the provision
that all the taxes should be enuitablv
distributed. The bill was passed by
vote of 81 to 10.
Senator Keller introduced a sugar
beet bill providing that the Transports.
ton rates on these vegetables should be
the same within radius of 1875 miles
OF the factory. He said similar law
had worked well in other states. The
bill was advanced to the calendar un-
der suspension of the rules.
