TORONTO. Ont, Oct. 24.-On the Buffalo and
Now York city special wrecked to-day was tho
sleeper Nioba by AGO Canadian Pacific train
from Toronto, in which were five passengers
who had tickets from Toronto to New York. A
lano man had tho stateroom. A man and wife
and their daughter of about IL years were also
on this car, having tickets bought at Toronto.
There Is n rumor here this evening that Lord
Douglas of Hawick. England, was on the train.
Last week no was in Sault Ste. Marie with his
brother, Lord Sholto Douglas, from where Lord
Percy Douglas wrote to the Toronto Globe in.
closing a check for $25 from his brother. Lord
Sholto Douglas, and himself toward the Bush
fire fund. He was in Toronto at the Queens
Hotel Saturday and left for New York, and 1t is
feared he was on the Inflated train.
Lord Douglas with Lord Sh0lto Douglas, sons
of the Marquis of Qucensberry. arrived here on
Thursday from Sault Ste. Marie. They had
been prospecting in M~ichipicoten. and were so
well satisfied with the mineral wealth of that
region that Lord Douglas decided to start for
England to form n company, while Lord Sholto
returned to Sault Ste. Marie on a hunting trip
and also to look after their interests In tho
mining deal.
Douglas of Hawick had travelled extensively
in Australia, paying especial attention to the
gold.mining districts in that country. but he
said mono of them had impressed him more
favorably than the Michipicoten district, which
he said was a veritable Coolgardle.
1t is very certain that Lord Douglas
was not killed. He is lame. and uses
crutchcs. Several persons who were at the
scene of tho wreck said last night that II man
on crutchcs. who was addressed by the Wagner
porter AS Lord Douglas, was seen on tho bank
after the accident. II was said that he had been
helped out of his car by $. d. Wilkinson.

Private Opinion of Heitfeld.

A neighbor of Senator Heitfeld,
writing to the Moscow Mirror. gives
the following opinion of the new
senator from Idaho:
LELAND, Idaho, Feb. 18th.
Editor Mirror: .
The election of Mr.. Henry Heitfeld a,
U. 8. senator, is more than a surprise to
the people OF Idaho. it is a sumner,
and above all, it is an outrage on the peo-
pie. Mr.. Heitteld is good law abiding
citizen, but as a law maker and member
OF the U. s. senate, the highest Assem-
blage Of law makers of the civilized
world, he is absolutely incompetent
Hundreds of ladies Of our young state
can execute the business Of that high pc
sition much better than Mr.. Heitfeld can
do. His English is not any better than
bis German, both languages he uses i'm
proper; this scant education il probably
the result Of poor opportunities, but lie
should exercise modesty and keep away
from place where he does not belong.
But he did not have sense enough to re
fuse. lie is the object of American wit
and sarcasm now, and surely he will suf-
fer mental agony on account of his ignor
ance, when he becomes an associate OF
the leaders of our nation in Washington.
1t teaches us the necessity and great i'm
portance of electinS our U. 8. Senator by
popular vote Let Us take it to heart and
avoid political scandals of this kind in
the future. Yours truly,
STAAs Speaker.

Brings it To Light.

A circumstance often brings to
light things that the public, and
often the assessor, are entirely ig-
norant of. The assessor makes his
returns to the county after having
called upon every person supposed
to be a taxpayer and has had him
sign a statement made by himself
as to what property, real or personal,
be bias upon which he should pay
taxes. After the assessor has made
his returns and a bank is placed in
the hands Of a receiver. he is sur
prised to find that Mr. A or Mr.. B
had four, five Cd eight thousand
dollars in cold, hard cash lying in
that bank, when he made q sworn
statement to the assessor that he
had none. The honest rancher
who had bought a ranch and a few
head Of cattle that might stray off
or die. has to pay the taxes to, keep
the machinery of the county gov
eminent running, to help pay the
officers of the law. who protect the
man with the cold cash who pays
no taxes. Idaho Falls Register.
