tions made in almost every household rate,
and it is easy to calculate and ascertain that 1T
provides an average red uction upon the whole
revenue from that source of l3 per cent. No
other rule can be invoked because unfortu-
nately the Water Committee was unable to as
certain how much OF the revenue comes from
each of the several classes of consumers. 1t is
an easy matter for those who have criticized
the order TO estimate the various incomes, but
this board can only consider aud act upon the
information which it has received. A tax made
upon guessing basis may answer the purpose
of th ose pers ems who would rule or rum, but
they viii not appeal with any success to hon.

@NovEL ENTERTAINMENT.
It Was Provided by st. Louis Nan For
BIS Wsfe's Feminine friends.

It Was Provided by st. Louis Man For
his Wsfe's Feminine friends.
a wealthy st. Loaisan living in the
vicinity Of Lafayette park provided
novel form Of entertainment for his
wife's guests one evening. says the ST.
Louis Republic.
The hostess was extremely anxious to
provide something original for the edi-
fcation Of score of guests whom she
intended to call together for an informal
evening Her husband promised to pro-
vide such novelty and took a boon COM
penion into his confidence to that end.
They had not exchanged ideas 80 con-
secutive seconds before they hit upon
the device Of converting the elegant
parlors into gambling house pre- tenn.
A faro bank, roulette wheel and pc
ker and keno lay outs were easily pro-
curable, as the conferees well knew,
and that part Of the programme was
soon settled. The friend suggested as a
pretty epilogue the introduction of a
pair Of bulldogs, guaranteed to reduce
each other to mince meat IN three
rounds. This rather staggered the ambl-
tious host, but his friend is ward poll
tician, and with the eloquence he always
keeps on draft soon Convinced the other
that the evening would be a failure
without those bulldogs.
The evening arrived, and with it came
the guests The ladies were prettlly
shocked at sight Of the gambling para
phernalia, but became accustomed to it
in an astonishingly short time and shar-
ed in the games with becoming vim. 1t
was when the yellow bulldogs made
their unexpected entrance that the hor-
ror of the fair guests proved genuine.
The beasts yelped ard growled and
showed other peculiarly canine synp-
toms of "spoiling for fight. y There
upon the ladies' sought refuge on the pi-
ano and card tables and chairs, con-
Quoting their retreat as FROM a mouse.
Notwithstanding excited feminine
protestations, the friend who had been
consulted as to a rcvelty in entertain
ment unleasned the dogs. 1t was an e1-
citing climax to an Original evening.
The dogs feasted for Eve minutes on
choice bits of each others anatomy.
The ladies' screamed and tine friend who
was consulted exulted in the success OF
his novelty. When he was quite con-
yinced-and it took considerable time
to convince him-that the ladies desire
for gore had been fully grati6ed, he
doused the dogs into convenient tub
Of water and separated them.

TIRE CHECK SYSTEM.


An english Visitor Tells the People About
the American Way.
The American constitution has been
called a system of checks. So IN Ameri-
can life. When you want to travel. you
give your baggage to the porter of your
hotel, and he gives you a check II re-
turn. At the station you reclaim 1t
with the check and pass it in at coun-
ter and receive another check. AS you
approach yonr destination another func-
tionary comes along the train, takes
your check and gives you another check
Sin It's place. He fishes OUT your baggage
and conveys it to your hosel--for con-
sideration. You have left your third
and last check at the Office Of the aotel
when you enter it. and thence it is de-
lliivered up en- receipt of the baggage.
At FIRST yo1. bless this arrangement as
the salvation Of the Traveller. After
fem weeks Of it the tyranny Of the check
becomes SO CALLING that you begin to
long for the fine old English method OF
dunping down your goods in front of
porter and leaving them to find the way
themselves You would even hail it as
8 personal triumph If some Of your bag
gage would get lost. But it never does.
Sometimes it arrives late, but it always
arrives.
Yet it seldom arrives in the shape In

tion. They who have to do with bag
gage see TO that. You very soon discover
Why Americans carry their goods In
ironciad trunks, and why it is madness
for anybody to do anything else. I
started out, like an idiot, with a new
leather portmanteau. They ripped the
stout brass lock off the first week
not for plunder, apparently, but simply
because st is the tradition of the service.
They punched it and kicked and danced

price, and am contemplating the gift
of II to the library Of congress at Wash
ington. As portmanteau 1t has both
feet in the grave.
The system Of checks is not confined
to travellers luggage. The conductor Of
the train passes carelessly to and fro
asking for your ticket and giving you
check in return, or asking for your
check and returning your ticket. II you
-hand your stick to a boy in hotel
while you write your name in the reg
lister, he dashes off to stow it away IN
some secret place and returns triumphant
with q check. In the very hotel bar,
when yor. buy seyenpence ha'porth OF
whisky you get q check and walk two
yards across the bar to pay at q desk.
But the apotheosis Of the check is at
Niagara. When you go down to the
Cave Of the Winds, you strip OF all
var: S,othes and leave them, as well as
sssycur valuables, in a tin box with the
attendant. Then you go down to battle
with the cataract attired only in suit
OF pyjamas, suit Of oilskins and a
check lashed around your neck and ris-
ing and falling with the beating OF
your heart. No wonder the American
speaks OF death as handing Ia his
checks. y It is only by death that he can
rid himself of them. London Mail.

Legislator Expelled.

A dispatch from Helena, Mont,
March 4th says: This evening the
House expelled Representative Mar.
tin Buckley of Basin, Jefferson
county, from its body by vote of
fifty.fou to nine on the charge of
receiving brihes in regard to certain
bills pending before the Legislature.
For three weeks past charges of
bribery and corruption have been
floating over the House and Senate,
and several days ago joint com.
mittee of Senators and Representa-
tives was appointed to investigate
the charges. Late this afternoon
the committee returned report,
recommending the expulsion of
Buckley. For three hours the mat
ter was discussed in heated man.
ner. Buckley had many friends
who wanted to see him saved from
the disgrace, claiming that he was
drunk when he appeared before the
and testified point-blank
that he had received money.
In defending himself, Buckley
said he was intoxicated at the time,
and has no recollection now Of
what he testified to. 1t was OIL his
own evidence that the committee
convicted him.

Romance in Real Life.

A streak of good fortune has
overtaken Mr.. and Mrs. John Swope.
former residents of Shoshone, which
is explained by the following from
the Waitsburg WASH Times:
"A happy reunion took place at
the home Of Mr.. John Swope, sec
ton foreman on the O. 4. d N. ut
Menoken. A stranger appeared at
the door last Friday and announced
himself to be Mrs. Swope's brother.
II seems that when Mrs. Swope was
IA child of three years, she was stolen
from her parents in Iowa. The
couple moved around from place
to place and successfully eluded
the sorrowing parents in search OF
the lost one. Mrs. Swope has no
recollection of her parents, but she
found papers when her foster mother
died, which showed that she did
not belong to them, but there was
no clew as to whom she did belong.
The brother has returned to Iowa
where a considerable estate awaits
the proof Of the discovery Of the lost
child, which amounts to S75,QOQ.

An Exile From Homo,

J. ]. Mccarthy has, it appears
conluded not to return home. The
Blackfoot News says:
Representative Mccarthy was in
Biackfoot Monday to meet the
members Of his family who came
in on the afternoon stage, and left
with him that night for Boise.
If rumOrs on our streets be true,
and they were put afloat by Custer
county visitors, the representative
will seek fresh fields for bis future
home where the atmosphere is not
so lurid from mutterings of dissat,
isGed ones, and where there are no
outraged constituents to be con-
fronted and appeased.

OUTRAGE AT WARDNER.
Editor Of tho Wardner Citizen Abused
and Forced to Leave Town.

A dispatch from Wallace, Idaho,
March 9Th, says: c. R. Burris, ed
itor Of the Wardners Citizen, was run
out Of that city yesterday evening
by q mob of 125 men. The alleged
cause for the action was the publ
cation of an article last Thursday
commenting on public address by
Miss Johnson, the lady principal OF
the Wardner schools, aud leader in
certain secret societies. The order
held a meeting Thursday afternoon
and sent committee of men after
Burris, who took him forcefulIy
inte the hall, where be was abused,
the whole body finally following
him three miles out of town. He
wanted to 60 to Spokane, but was
sent the other way. This morning
he swore out warrants for the arrest
of eleven of the ringleaders, includ.
ing the United States deputy mar
shall and several members of the
Idaho state guard. Only six war
rants were served to-day, aud their
examination will be held here to-
morrow. The real cause for the
action of the mob is said to be that
Burris was running newspaper in
the interest of the Miners union,
while WarGner mines are all worked
by non-union men. The six pris-
oners brought up to-day were all
bailed out by J. E. Rrunscomb,
manager of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mines. The whole camp
is stirred up over the matter.

JONES and His Affidavit.

A correspondent of the Salt Lake
Tribune writes from Mountain
Home as follows:
The affidavit made by JONES is
generally believed here TO be correct
in view of the fact that he was per-
sistently urged by nearly all, irre-
spective of party, to vote for the
reelection Of Dubois.
JONES was elected by the largest
majority ever accorded Represent
ative to the Legislature from Gilmore
county. Yet, despite this, the
agents Of Senator elect Heitfeld are
circulating a vicious petition to the
effect that JONES' reputation is bad
in Mountain Home; that he is a
blackleg and scoundrel. and that
lie could not be believed under oath.
Such audacious misrepresentation
is hard to equal, aud is likewise diff.
6cult of explanation. While all
agree in believing that he entertains
some very radical views on certain
questions. and while many recog-
nice ia him an extremist of the
worst type. still the fact remains
that his honor and Integrity have
never been impeaohed nor his CHAR
acter justly assailed since living at
this point,
In this connection it is perhaps
pertinent to remark that the circu.
lators of this libelous petition az
secured only a few signers and thoee
in Q secret and clandestine manner.
