A newspaper went to press late, and
the makeup was dumping type in the
forms at a lively rate. As a result the
lirst part of an obituary notice had
been dumped in the form. and the next
handful OF type came OF another gal
ley describing a recent IRE. Ii read in
the paper: 1.-The pail bearers lowered
the body into the grave, and it was con-
signed to the roaring flames. There
were few, if any regrets, for the old
wreck had been an eyesore to the town
for years"

Every few weeks We read Of some un-
fortunate being blown to atoms by
giant caps ignited by fire from cigar
cite or pipe. Vet the habit of smoking
while handling caps goes steadily on by
men who certainly realize the danger of
such practice. Smoking underground
at any time is bad enough, but any man
found with lighted pipe, cigar CT
cigarette near explosives should BE- dsi-
charged forthwith, not alone for the
danger to which he needlessly exposes
himself, but rs protection to life and
property of Others.-Florence Miner.
The Florence Miner of Sept. 4, says:
W. Tethro is back from Spokane and
CRur d'Alene, where he went about
two weeks ago on mining business.
During his absence, his tent in which
he and Mrs Tethro have been living
during the past month or two, caught
fire and everything therein was destroy
ed. Friend Bill is very emphatic about
being in hard luck until he thinks about
the rich showing made i'll the Hiyu,
then he takes the disaster philosoph-
icIlly and says the loss by the fire isn't
IirTeparable and he, thinks he can stand
it.
There is one thing in particular that
voters should see to at the next election,
and that is that no man should be sent
to the legislature who is not sound on
the subject of making a radical change
in the schedule Of fees allowed county
officials. As an illustration Of the evil
OF the present law, tine policy Of allow
ing a sheriff 35 cents n mile as mileage
Is most dangerous. 1t has been known
here in Idaho to lead official to
prosecute men on frivolous charges in
order to liner ease the emoluments Of
their Office. Pay officials goIl salaries,
bat pay it in q way that does not breed
dishonesty and official oppression

The deficit for the month of August,
according to the treasury officials,
amounted to about SI4,c0O,OC0. This
will undoubtedly prove surprising to
those stauneh and unreasoning republi-
cans who believed that Mckinley, pro
lection and gold would remedy all ex-
isting evils. The republican journals
ascribe the deficit to one cause and an
other and promise better things in the
future, just as they have promised for
months past. Fourteen millions of dol
lars deficit for one month is pretty big
hole and the administration will certain
| ly have to get in and do something to
remedy this fault 1t may dawn upon
them one of these days that there is
such thing as too much protection
and that tariff that is prohibitive is
just as bad when it comes to raising
revenues as no tariff at all.-Spokane
Chronicle.
Though the supreme court las not
passed upon the constitutionality OF the
act prohibiting gambling. the recent de-
eision Of the court that startled the state
and gave rise TO such great apprhension
is responsible for the resumption OF
gambling. 1t has been said that there
was too much apprehension respecting
the possible evils Of that decision, but
the opening OF the gambling houses inst
ines everything that has been said with
respect TO the deplorab.e effect OF the
deliveTance. Any one who compre-
bends the awfulness OF the vice Of gam.
bling and who understands how boys
gather about and participate in the
games, realize fully that the decision is
is calamitous. II a man were to 90 out
