There win BE No Elopemenx.

She was young and pretty, and she didn't
at all dislike to attract attention. When
she stepped aboard the car she other morn
ing she greeted anothr young woman eff
fusively. says the Chicago Times-Herald.
"Oh, haven't seen you for just ages!"
she cried
But that is your own fault" retorted
her friend. i've been waiting for you to
return my last visit"
Il know. dear. but the truth is that I've
been so awfully busy. Nell, you know Nell
Glenn of course, has been in a great deal
OF trouble, and knowing that / never tell
anything, she has made me her confdante
You see, her father has never approved of
Howard. and"
Nell has? Well, go on"
Yes. Finally, ii was about ten days ago.
he forbid Howard the house. That settled
it; Nell hadn't been at all sure until then
whether she liked Howard or Walter best
But when her father invited the latter to
dinner that very day, She"
cot course she did. Her father might
have known that"
Him, yes, suppose so. But Nell is his
first grown daughter, you know; he'll be
wiser when Kitty grows up. Well, after
that they all watched Nell so closely that
she had an awful time meeting Howard.
1 don't know what she would have done
without a discreet and thoughtful friend
like me-
'Wen, and how did you manage it?"
Easily. She'd come out to my house to
spend the cay with the arrangement that
Walter was to come out after dinner and
bring her home. OF course her father was
perfectly satisfied with that So"
But 1 don't see how"
Don't you dear Why, Howard would
spend the afternoon with her, departing
before Walter arrived"
"Oh, my goOdnesSr'
Clever, wasn't it? Wouldn't tell even
you, but its all settled now So"
oh Nells father has relented, has he?"
Mercy. no. But they intend to elope
tomorrow 1 helped plan the whole thing
and its just as clever. You see, they will
let Nell go anywhere with Walter and she
is to ride out to our house with him to-
morrow morning. While they are in the
paror with me my small brother will
puncture one of her tires. Now; Walter
has to come back to town, and of course
as her tire Is punctured she will have to
stay while 1t is being repaired. Before
her people know what has happened she
and Howard will be married. Isn't that TO
mantic?'
"Awfully romantic. I hope her father
will not find &c out"
"Oh, that is impossible. 1 am on my way
TO her house now. l shall bring away a
lot of her things in my satchel, and-mer-
cyl That was her street just now, and
didn't notice until that lady had gotten
off. Well, I'll ride to the next corner and
walk back"
Pardon me, miss" said an old lady who
was sitting opposite, but If 1 were you

The Fire Chiefs Case.

What viii be the next step In the fire
chiefs case? 1t is quite certain that the
finding of the fire commission, the fun
text of which we publish this morning,
will not be generally approved outside of
the political faction to which the chief be-
longs. 1t has only been a little while
since the city council investigated the
charges against the chief, and called for
his dismissal, and the evidence on which
the council acted seemed to justify its ac-
ton. The fire commission, after quite a
lengthy investigation, gives the fire chief
just as strong an Endorsement as he could
desire. Apparently it had very little re-
spect for the testimony which was brought
out by the city councils investigation, and
the greatest regard for that given in the
Investigation which it held.
win the council pursue the course
which. 1t is understood, II had decided up
on when 1t began its efforts to secure the
fire chiefs removal? If So the fire chiefs
case is not settled yet by any means.

Cove the waiter His Fee.

The globular and fiorld old gentleman, as
he sat down at the table, pulled dollar
bill out of his pocket, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, deliberately tore it in two,
handed one piece to the walter, replaced
the other in his pocket, and said;
Waiter, if 1 am satisfied, you get the
other half. Do you understand
YES, sir" replied the functionary, and
became as assiduous as a mother with her
first child.
But for some inexplicable reason the old
gentleman grew more and more dissatis-
fed as his meal progressed, until, as he
arose from the table, he simply scowled
angrIly at the expectant waiter.
Excuse me, sir, but" the waiter in
simulated obsequiously
Nav" snarled the old fellow in reply.
''Oh yes; think you WILL" observed the
waiter, his backbone visibly stiffening.
Don't you be impudent, young man,
advised the old fellow threateningly.
Don't you be a chump," advised the
waiter, contemptuously.
why, why, wh-at?" screamed the old
gentleman, swelling like an enraged tur-
key cock. ''Ill-Ill report you for inso-
lence, you-you villain!'
II don't think you will" retorted the
waiter calmly and firmly. Come, hand
over the other half of this bill. l need a
dollar to go to the theater."
Explain yourself you rascal" demand
ed the old fellow a great and portentious
calm enveloping him. Now, what does
this mean?"
at means at this minute you are a law
breaker, SIR replied the waiter suavely.
tMutilating the currency is crime, and
you have mutilated dollar bill. There
fore, unless 1 get the dollar, you'll be
pinched. See?"
AS the waiter pocketed the dollar he
smiled

The commercial travellers of the south
are making a strong effort to have south
ern railroads grant them a rate of two
cents mile. The president of the Tray
elers' Protective Association makes out a
strong case for the association, claiming
that it is to the interest Of the railroads
that tickets should be sold to commercial
travellers at wholesale prices. This is a
matter to which the railroads ought to
give very thoughtful attention. 1t is
stated that they are regarding it with
more favor now than formerly. If it can
be shown that they would be benefited by
granting what the Travellers Protective
Association wants the association ought
not to have to wait long for the two-cent
rate.

The Atlanta Journal rejoices that there
was at least one statement of fact in the
stories of Perry's execution telegraphed
from Atlanta to sensational northern
papers-that Perry was hanged. 1t may
not be out OF place to observe that SEN
sation-mongering special correspondents
in Atlanta are responsible for about 80
per cent. of whatever ill-repute the state
bears abroad. through their exaggera-
tons and falsifcations in order to secure
the space rates which the porthern news
papers pay for stories with narrowing

He stands Upon His Merits.

Why should not Capt. John NIilledge be
continued i'm the office of state librarian?
He is a competent and faithful official
was a brave soldier when Georgia sorely
needed to be defended by her sons, and is
a gentleman In the true and highest sense
of the word. His name is an old and
honored one. Georgia, in recognition of
services rendered, named her former cap
ital after his grandfather, Gov. Milledge
In these days it seems to be held by some
persons that it is disreputable to have de-
scended from distinguished ancestors, and
that to have achieved rank by fighting for
the confederacy is sufficient warrant for
retiring one from political life; still, for
all of that, the Morning News considers
that such records should be among the
best of recommendations for office in Geor-
gia. Capt. Milledge, however, does not
need to depend upon his ancestry or his
war record. He is emlnently qualified for
the position, and he should be retained in

The south and Pension Payments.
From the Columbia Is. c. Register Oem)

Far better would it have been to exact
a war indemnity which, once paid, would
have been settled for all time, than to
force the southern states to pay year aft
er year increasing millions to keep alive
a host of impostors who have no shadow
of claim on the bounty of the government
The old veteran in blue has a duty to
perform toward the old veteran in gray
and he should be alive to this important
fact. Let him purge the pension list of
bummers and pretenders, and thus reduce
the expense of the government in this re-
spect one-third or one-half. His old foe
win at least have this much to thank him
for, and the two win be drawn much
nearer together.

IT WAS A BRUTAL CRIME.

Capt. Co. A.

Norwood viii sorvo'so Years in the Ponitontiary
for the Murder.
The crime for which David Norwood
has just been sentenced at Shoshone to
30years in the penitentiary was most
brutal one. On the evening of April
9th, 1897, Norwood, who is a young
man, accompanied Samuel Burd, an
aged placer miner, to the latter's cabin
o. the Snake river near Hagerman,
and when the cabin was reached and
the old man was unlocking the door,
Norwood struck thin over the head
with pick handle. The blow was not
sufficient to fell the old man and as
he turned Norwood continued to rain
blows upon his victims head and side
rendering him unconscious.
Norwood left him welteriug in blood
and proceeded to make a search of
the mans effects in the cabin, evident
ly in search of money which he pos
sessed. Failing to find it he returned
to BuTd who had regained conscious.
ness. Burd then begged piteously for
him to spare his life, and Norwood
agreed to do so if he would not tell of
the assault, but say that he was hurt
by falling on the rocks at his mine.
Burd agreed to this whereupon Nor.
wood helped him to his cabin and
then went to Hagerman and told his
story that Burd had hurt himself by
falling on the rocks.
A team was sent for the old man,
against the wishes of Norwood. and he
was brought to Mrs. Thompson's at
Hagerman. AS soon as Mr.. Burd was
10 the hands of friends he told the
facts as to how he was injured. Nor
wood was at once arrested and bound
over to the district court, he escaped
from Jail few days after and was re-
captured at Salt Lake about three
weeks ago.
Mr. Burd fingered between life and
death for about 60 days when he died,
At the inquest it was discovered that
two ribs of the deceased had been
driven in, an abcess had formed and
that he bad also suffered from pneu-
monia. IL was this that saved Nor
wood from being convicted of murder
in the first degree.
After the death of Burd, some $500
were found in buekskin sack in his
pocket, and this no doubt was what
Norwood was after.-Poeatello Tri.

Senator George L. Shoup of Idaho,
was in Washington several days this
week, and spoke most encouragingly
of the dawn of the nations happiness
as seen by prosperity's glow on the
horizon of the industrial world, says
the Washington News SSLetter. SEN
ator Shoup, perhaps more than any
other man in public life, represents
that class OF bimetAllists who are not
carried away by every wind that blows.
He is too much of student of political
economy not to understand that other
issues are of sufficient magnitude to
demand of the administration and
congress wise and careful consider

bination of which are essential to pro
duce a permanent condition of pros

The senator's conservative express
sion, his business capacity, and com
ing from the mining sections of our
country make his statements at this
time of exceptional Importance to
every branch of business and to the
people at large.
When asked what the real outlook
in the west was for a permanent bust

of the tariff bill be the most potent
factor in producing a condition of
permanent prosperity; this is demon
strated in Idaho by the advance in the
price of lead, cattle, sheep, wool, etc.
"Our mining industries have been
