is also noticeable in this connection
that Fred Gooding, the president
Of the Idaho Woolgrowers' associa-
ton is the assessor of Lincoln

been credited with being one of

Wbat pp CHERRY saws.

Hy Cherry is home again after
taking the Bryan party from spen-
Ger to the National Park and back
again.
He says it was, altogether, the
most pleasant party be ever drove
into the Park. He tells many
stories of the trip and Of Mr.. Bry-
ans doings and sayings along the
way. One of the stories he takes
great pleasure in repeating is that
Of Mr.. Bryan helping teamster
extricate one Of his horses which
was mired down in quagmire.
Some where on the way the party
came upon teamster yainly try
ing to extricate one Of his horses
which was mired down to his head
In quagmire Mr.. Bryan quickly
took III the situation, dismounted,
pulled off his shoes and socks
waded into the mire and stood
ready with a pole as lever to
prize while he, Cherry, hitched his
team to the neck of the horse to
draw him out. AS Cherry's team
slowly pulled him up Mr.. Bryan
would readjust his lever to keep
him from sinking back again.
The horse was extricated, the
teamster thanked them and the
man whom 100000 people voted
for president washed the mud from

mr.. Crane" promptly came the
answer. "Well, now" said John,
"we have killed three sheep, and
we will give you $3.50 if you will
keep the matter quiet and not
tell Crane" The boy studied a
minute and then said, 'I'll take
the $3.50, but I will have to tell
Mr.. Crane" "Oh, no." said John,
chat won't do. You must not tell
Crane if You take the $3.50" "You
can give me the money!" said Joe,
"but won't promise that l will not
tell Mr.. Crane" Mr.. Bagley, finding
he could not bride the boy into
robbing his employer, called Mr..
Crane, and then they explained to
little Joe how they had conspired
to test his honesty. Conncilmen
Crane says his sheep are perfectly
safe in such hands as honest Joe
Lewis. Such integrity will surely
be rewarded.

Donest soc.

A good story comes to the EXAM
INER concerning the honesty of
little Joe Lewis, one of Mr.. Cranes
herder, who is about u years old.
1t seems that Messrs. Bagley, Bulge
and Rich each bought sheep from
Mr.. Crane, and the latter allowed
these limbs Of the law to 60 into
his herd and pick out a mutton
apiece, killing the same on the
spot with their rifles. Joe Lewis
was herding this particular band,
but was some distance over the hill
and out Of view while the shooting
was going on. Hearing the guns,
he rushed to where the above
named gentlemen were to see what
was the matter. When Mr.. Bagley
saw Joe coming he told Mr.. Crane
to hide and await results. AS soon
as the young herder came up he
asked who had killed the sheep.
Mr.. Bag',,y said they had, and
asked VIII the bunch belonged to.

Ube Ueacbers' Summer
School.

The little town Of Fish Haven
has been somewhat lively during
the past week owing to the pres
ence Of some twenty teachers, who
arrived last Monday, August 2,
to attend the teachers summer
school.
The school, which has now been
in session seven days, is doing good
work. The instructors, Miss Gallo
way, Judge Osmond and Mr.. Peter
son, are all that could be desired;
and the teachers, Notwithstanding
the natural attractions which sur
round them, are getting in great
amount Of study.
These summer schools aim to
give the teachers general review
in the studies taken up in the
August examinations, and also to
instruct them in the theory and
practice Of teaching.
Much valuable information may
be obtained by attending these in
stitutes. The Civil Government
class is making special study Of
the state constitution and the sew
enteen young (?) schoolmarms who
expect to vote at the next election
are gaining many points which
their sister citizens would do we'll
to know.
Needless to say the teachers are
combining pleasure with duty, and
after the work of the afternoon
have great sport in wheeling, boat
ing, etc.
Thus far the summer school has
been a great success and we have
every reason to believe it will
always be remembered rs one OF
the most helpful and pleasant in
stitutes ever held in the country.

hidden from the knowledge of men
in the wilds Of the Idaho noun
tains was demonstrated yesterday
when the discoveries of A. 3. and
L. G. Caswell in the Salmon river
country became known.
These men came into town with
a large cleanup of gold. When
asked about their discovery they
stated they mined the gold on what
they called Mule creek, which
heads in a mountain which they
have named Thunder mountain.
Mule creek flows into Monumental
creek, this into Big creek and Big
creek into the Middle fork Of the
Salmon.
The brothers discovered the
claims some four years ago. The
first three seasons they made ex-
penses and this year thew have Sc
cured a fine cleanup. They ex-
press the belief that the district
will make a good camp; and from
their report of the character of the
discovery that belief would seem to
be we'll founded.
They have been placer mining
the surface Of lode claims, work
ing the debris on the mountain
side. The entire mountain, they
say, is gold bearing and the gold
they have been getting has been re-
leased by the decomposition Of the
formation over which it is found.
This remarkable mountain is
porphyry. The prospectors de-
scribe it as being a great volcanic
crater which has been filed with
the gold-bearing rock. The gold is
found everywhere ON the noun
tain.
The brothers have prospected
the ground very thoroughly and
say they have pounded up fully a
ton of the porphyry. 1t all pans
well. In addition they have had
number of assay tests. The re-
suit of their Investigations is such
as to convince them that the noun
tain is an enormously valuable de-
post of gold. They do not claim
the rock is high grade, but they are
we'll satisfied with its value. They
did not care to state what the ay-
erage value of the rock is as de-
termined by their Investigations.
1t is the purpose Of the Caswells
to return 20 the property and pre-
pare for next seasons work.
From the description of the find
given by the men the possibilities
Of the mountain would seem almost
limitless. The gold is found free,
though there are places where great
masses of pyrites are met with.
The pyrites, however, are low
grade.-Statesman.

THE LAUGHERY BANDITS.
Their Crimes and the States RespOns-
Utility In the Matter.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
No matter how the laudable efforts of
Governor Mount and Judge New to detect
and punish the Ripley county murderers
NAV terminate, the affair ought to arouse
such men to more than temporary in
dignation against the men who committed
the deed. It is Of much more Importance to
inquire why such a crime was deemed
necessary, not by the perpetrators only but
by the whole community except those who
are officially bound to condemn 1t than to
inquire who did it; and official Indignation
should be directed as earnestly to the cause
of the crime as to the crime itself. To my
personal knowledge 1.-The Laughery bandits
have been terror for more than seventy
years. My earliest recollections are assoc
ciated with the dread in which they were
held seventy years ago, when all the terri
tory from where Osgood now is to the Dear
born county lines southwark along the
Laughery was a wilderness and the haunt
of thieves and robbers. They operated in
Dearborn, Franklin, Switzerland and Jeffer-
son counties, chiefly in horse stealing, while
highway robbery along the roads leading
from Madison and Lawrenceburg to 1.-The
new purchase" was SO common that persons
travelling on horseback to Indianapolis with
money to enter lands had to travel in
groups, and then were not always safe. This
branch of their business continued with lit
tie abatement until travelling by rail di-
verted their would-be victims to a more Sc
cure means of transportation, while their
horse stealing can hardly be said to have
fallen off TO this day, but through their
branches rather to have increased. They
have long maintained a branch or many
branches in central Indiana. Sixty or sew
enty-five years ago whenever a horse was
stolen in any of the river counties in that
part of the State the loser turned to 1.-THE
I4aughery." and If he had money enough to
hire help he usually found the horse, often
in the possession Of well-to-do farmer,
quite likely to be a church member, who
had just bought him of a traveller, he said,
though it was evident he was the thief HIM
self. In these early times the owner of the
horse had neither time nor money to hunt
the thief unless by accident the horse was
found in the possession OF some poor scamp
who did not own a farm or was not rep
utably connected. Having found his horse,
often at an expense that was quite equal TO
the value of the horse, he gave up the chase
ana left the thief to pursue his calling I'M

INCREASED NET PROFITS
THE RAILWAY EARNING EXHIBITS A
FEATURE OF PROSPERITY.
Good Progress I'm the Rehabilitation
Nj. Railroad Properties.

The remarkable exhibits Of net earnings
of such roads as the Wabash, the Big -Four,
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and
several of the other Western lines are
striking feature of the situation. In many
cases an increase of but 10 to u per cent.
is shown. IN gross earnings and an increase
of Is to 30 per cent. in net earnings. This
shows that a good lesson has been taught
in the recent depressed time Operating of
ficers trained for four years on rigid econo-
my do not at once forget the lessons that
have been impressed upon them, and they
are still operating the roads with the clos
est scrutiny in the matter of expenditures.
An effort has been made to concentrate
traffic, to haul it in solid trainIoads and
get the largest performance from locomo-
tfves and cars, and the science of trans
portation has been carried further than
ever before. Now, when large gross earn
ings are assured, the results of four years
Of economical training become apparent in
the large increase in net earnings While
August exhibits are gratifying, those of
September promise to be even more So and
the promise for October November and De-
cember could hardly be brighter. Large
crops are to be moved, and the tonnage
of merchandise and miscellaneous freights
was never heavier than this month and
that in prospect the next few months. The
only drawback now is the yellow fever
which has checked the shipments of pro-
visions South and the shipments of cotton
and tobacco northward.

plans for Reorganization.

Good progress is making in the rehabili-
tation of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville
and the Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw
roads. The plan for the reorganization of
the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville was issued
under the direction of the first mortgage
bondholders on Tuesday The plan was
prepared by the first mortgage bondhold-
ers' committee. Under the plan the follow
ing described new securities are to be is
sued: $2,757,OOO first mortgage per cent.
fifty year gold bonds, being the same
amount outstanding now on the Peoria a.
Evansville division; So 600 600 preferred stock
and S. 100000 common stock. The first mort
gage bonds will receive 100 per cent. in the
new bonds, and 10 per cent. in the new pre-
1erred stock, and the back interest at 6
per cent. in cash. The second mortgage
bonds will receive 1121a per cent. in the new
preferred stock, on payment of an assess
ment OF % per cent. Stockholders viii re-
celve lUO per cent. in the new common stock
on the payment of a per cent. assessment
Tor which assessment they will receive pre-
rerred stock at par. The plan provides for
a much larger amount of cash to be ex-
pended on the property than that proposed
by the second mortgage bondholderS' pIan
the experts asserting that the sum named
IN the second mortgage bondholders' plan
is inadequate. The plan announced has been
underWritten by syndicate and has been
approved by a large number of the second
mortgage bondhoders and some of the
largest stockholders. The plan for the reor-
gan1zation of the c., j. & NJ. provides that
the first mortgage bonds are to receive SO
per cent. of the par value in certificates of
interest of the Detroit, Toledo e. Milwaukee,
80 per cent. in new first mortgage 5 per
cent. bonds of the Cincinnati Northern
Railway Company and "a per cent in pre-
ferred stock of the same road. Holders of
common stock are to receive Cincinnati q
