The Old and the New servitude,

African slavery prevailed in this
country for many years. The negroes
titled the fields and for their work re-
ceived only board, clothes, shelter and
medical care when sick. They were
physically enslaved, but their thoughts
were their own. AT night from their
cabins their souls foated away to the
stars, and in dreams they saw them
selves white as the stars own light and
heard music the sweetness of which
was not of this earth. Had they been
a calculating, tenacious, aggressive and
warlil1e race, they would have made a
stand for freedom and would have
achieved it. But they waited until de-
liverance was sent them. But in that
deliverance debts were contracted
which were seized upon by cunning
men and woven into the laws in way
to make slaves of the white race. That
slavery has now prevailed for twenty
four years. But it is not like the form
er slavery, for it involves not only the
physical but the mental man. 1t does
not supply cabins, and food and cloth
ing and give to those in servitude
sweet sleep, rather it stretches them
upon rack and invents new tortures

II. II. Warner, who few years ago
bought comets at fabulous figures, and
was even known to try a speculation
in echoes, all of which was done to get
cheap advertising for patent nostrums,
and who finally went broke on some
kind of salted mine in Arizona, has
been sending out begging letters to the
country papers for the past year, ask
ing them to contribute him free adver-
tising until he can make another for
tune, promising that he will then again
be liberal. We would not give the la
bel on the bottle of one Of his most
runs for all the papers will make out
of him. When more papers will learn
to dump all these fake advertising
propositions in the waste basket and
leave all the advertising agents alone
until they become at least as decent as
an Oklahoma train robber, they will be
better off. Let these advertising agents
waste their postage stamps and station
cry for few years and they will learn
to have some respect for publishers.

Col. Frank Parker, of the Walla
Walla Statesman, will visit Florence
during the present month. Many
years ago he discovered rich ledge
there and his present visit will be
made for the purpose of relocating
the property, and subjecting it to i'm
mediate development. Col. Parker is
perhaps the most practical expert min
eralogist in the northwest. He has
made life time study of the subject,
and has collected mommoth cabinet
stated that his cabinet, which repre-
sents an intrinsic value of several thou
sand dollars, is the best in the west,
being even more representative of the
wide variety of our minerals, than the
celebrated Salt Lake City cabinet. 1t
is related that while visiting in Seattle
a few years ago, the Colonel won nov
ell wager. A number of prominent
mining men were present. The discus
sion was upon mines and minerals,
and friend offered the wager of a
wine supper that there was not piece
of specimen ore in the city of Seattle,
native of the west, that could be pre-
sented, but what Col. Parker could To-
cate the district from which it came.
The wager was accepted, and small
piece of ore from Nevada was present
ed. 1t was native of the Humboldt
county district, and the Colonel said so
after glancing at it but minute. He
had seen a similar specimen twenty
years before. Mining men say that he
never forgets a specimen, regardless of
its ormation.-Lewiston Tribune.

Death of Mrs. NJ. NJ. Getchell.

Last Saturday, Mrs. Maud Getchell,
wife of the postmaster at Silver City
died of peritonites, after an illness OF
only two days. Her death was shock
upon the community where this most
estimable lady had been known and
loved from her infancy. Deceased was
the eldest daughter of Hon. G. NJ. Hays
now residing in Boise. She was born
in Silver City and had resided there all
her life, except for an absence of two
years, attending school in Tacoma. She
was married to Mr.. NJ. NJ. Getchell,
about five years ago, and has been more
or less an invalid since confinement
some four years since, the infant sur
viving but few days. A sweet tenn
pered, modest and quiet girl and wo-
man, she endeared herself to all who
knew her and the sympathy of all the
county goes out to the bereaved hus-
band and relatives of the deceased.
Mrs. Hays, mother of the deceased, has
been lying very ill at her home in Boise
and the sad tidings of the death of her
daughter, it is feared, may make her
worse.
The funeral, which took place on
Monday, under the management of the
Daughters of Rebekah, was the largest
seen in Silver City for years. The
beautiful services of the order conduct
ed by the lady officers and members
were very impressive and the floral of
ferings were unusually fine.

The NUGGET has had several requests
from ladies living near the main street,
in both the upper and lower towns to
caution the young boys who ride ponies
to stop their running horses on the
streets. Children who are on the street
are in constant danger. The reason
we have said so little about this nuis-
ance is because we know the only way
to stop it is for the officers to "lay for
some OF these boys and have them
fined or locked up for few hours.
Lecturing them will do no good until
the lecture is punctuated by some kind
of punishment which will leave an i'm
preston. There are many small child
ren playing on or near the street at all
hours of the day and unless the boys
stop this fast riding, some of them will
be liable to be seriously hurt. We will
say, however, that our constable will
put stop to it or put some of these
kids in the cooler, sure.

A white woman spent several hours in
confinement at the police barracks yester-
day morning on account of her unwilling
ness to pay fine of IS imposed upon her
by Recorder Hartridge for disturbing the
peace and abusing a policeman. Two or
three nights ago Policeman farrell felt
called upon to interfere in a difficulty be-
tween husband and wife in a house on
William street, as the couple were disturb
ing the entire neighborhood. The hus-
band promptly made himself scarce, but
the wife remained and expressed her opin-
ion of the policeman in language not linn
tied by the dictionary. This did not pre-
vent the officer from sending her in, how
ever. In police court the next morning
the woman denied cursing the policeman.
FARRELL was given until yesterday morning
to produce his witnesses, which he did. The
recorder fined the husband SO and the wife
So The woman vowed that she would not
pay and started to leave the court room.
She was stopped and as she insisted that
she would not pay the fine she was taken
TO the station house and locked up. The
husband paid his fine and later in the day
the fine of the wife was paid also.

COPS RIDE ON A BIKE.
CoIyaded with Horse and Pulled
the Animals Shoes on.

There is one policeman who does not re-
gard a bicycle as a good thing. When he
came off duty about o'clock yesterday
morning this particular cop thought it
would be great fun to steal the new wheel
of brother officer, which had been left
standing in the barracks yard, and take
a good long ride.
With him, to think was to act, and be-
fore the owner of the wheel. who had been
on the same tour of duty, arrived in the
ward the first fellow was spinning down
Oglethorpe avenue at great rate. He had
nut in an hour or more on the wheel and
had taken in the city pretty thoroughly
when he came to grief at jefferson street
and Oglethorpe avenue
According to reports the cop was going
mt jefferson street, bent double over the
handle bars at a 2:40 gait. A street wag-
on and a heavy dray were coming down
the street. The wagner saw the bicyclist
coming. he said, and tried to turn out of
his way, but failed to do so. Bicycle, po-
Uceman and horse collided with a crash.
The policeman was not hurt, but the horse
was. and the bicycle was badly battered.
The front wheel of the bike was nocked
askew, the frame bent and some spokes
broken from the rear wheel, where the
horse put a foot through.
The policeman and the wagner argued
the matter for some time, each claiming
that the other was at fault. The wagner
claimed the policeman put him under ar
rest and detained him until u o'clock with
out carrying him to the barracks The wa
goner, who gave his name as ]. H. NJ.
White, went to the barracks last night and
reported the matter. He did not know the
name of the policeman, but said that his
badge was No. AZ. White told Morning
News reporter who saw him at the bar
racks, that the force of the collision was
such as to knock the shoes off mis- horse.
He said the policeman put him under ar
rest. but instead of carrying him to the
barracks took him in another direction
and tried to make him agree to pay for the
bicycle, which he declined to do. White
said he was detained for three hours, but
this is probably an exaggcration. Lieut..
Reilly told White that the matter would
be investigated.
The policeman who owned the bicycle
did not succeed in catching the man who
ran away with it, but after a fruitless
search he found a dilapidated wheel at the
barracks. He ascertained later who had
taken the wheel, but generously declined
10 give the name, as he did not wish to
get the offender in trouble, if it could be
belpe0.

Williams was the contractor. The bridge
cost $4,000, and certificates to that
amount were issued. Mr.. wilkins holds
most of these. The Gate City National
Bank holds $4,000 of them. The district
court and circuit court of appeals made
the whole road liable, and the supreme
court afiirms the judgment. This makes
the receivers certificates good. Without
