AS TO STATE INSTITUTIONS.
Number of tiOns Which
Are Pertinent.

I herewith transmit to you the report
of the warden Of the Idaho state peni-
tentiary. This institution is so near the
state capitol that all who take an in
terest in It's management may have an
opportunity of personal investigation
without expense to the state. Unfortu-
nately. as might be expected, the number
Of its inmates Is continually on the in
crease, consequently under the present
system the expense Of its maintenance
will yearly grow larger.
The last session Of the Idaho legislature
made no provision for improvements or
the employment Of the inmates. The state
board has been much embarrassed in
consequence. There are not a sufficient
number of cells to confine the prisoners
without putting two in a cell. and by so
doing, under the imperfect ventilation
the health of the prisoners would be Sc
riously Jeopardized.
Many of the states contract the labor
of their prisoners, and in my opinion
there is no reason why the state of Idaho
should not. after the work which the
state needs has been accomplished, enter
into some agreement with a manufactur-
own which would relieve the taxpayers
OF supporting that institution.
The second session of the Idaho legis-
lature created the office of mine inspec-
tor. The bill providing for this office
was amended by the third session. and
appointed. in conformity with the amend
ed act. Hon. Ed Dewey of Silver City to
that position. After having served for
more than year, he resigned. and l APP
pointed I. T. Peterson to fill the vacancy
thus caused.
Neither Of the incumbents has made
any official report, and the law is defec-
tive In that particular. as there is no
penalty attached for failure to perform
this important duty.

For several reasons Mr.. Mckinley

except as a political movement and a
salve to the silverites. The failure of his
mission is certain"

NARROW ESCAPE FOR MINERS.
Explosion in the Monte CristO Mine
at ROssland.

Rossland, B. c., Jan. 1.-Two miners,
Hatch and Campbell, working in the tun-
mel of the Monte Cristo mine, had mar
row escape from death last night by an
explosion of dynamite. They had fired a
round of holes and had gone back to
their work, and were picking down loose
ground in the face of the drift, when
the pick in the hands of Campbell struck
a small piece of dynamite which had no,
exploded.
The force of the blow produced an ex-
plosion, knocking both men down ana
badly bruising them and shaking them
up. Fortunately they were able to get
out of the tunnel, where assistance was
at hand.
Both men were brought to town and
placed in DR.. Bowers hospital. Both
men will recover with no worse effects
than a severe fright and shaking up.

TRUSTS IN GEORGIA DONE FOR.
Long Closed Market Thrown Open
to Competition.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 1.-THE Journal this
afternoon makes the sensational an.
nouncement that every trust operating
in the state of Georgia has succumbed
to the Calvin antitrust law, enacted by
the recent general assembly. AS a result
of the operation of that measure the
American Tobacco Company, the Potash
trust, the snuff, match and other trusts
that have been operating in Georgia
have notified jobbers and merchants
throughout the state handling their goods
that the antitrust act made their ex-
listing contracts unlawful, and they would
therefore be no longer considered by
either party. This throws the long closed
market wide open to competition.

According to the celebrated anato-
there are upwards of 100000 little
glands in the human stomach.
These glands pour on the digestive
juices which dissolve or digest the
food. Indigestion is want of juice,
weakness of glands, need of help to
restore the health of these organs.
the best and most natural help is
that given by Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. Natural, because it supplies the
material needed by the glands to pre-
pare the digestive juices. Because it
strengthens and invigorates the glands
and the stomach, until they are able
to do their work alone. Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial cures indigestion GER
tainly and permanently. It does SO
by natural means, and therein lies the
secret of its wonderful and UNMARRIED
success. At druggists, price 10 cents
to ST. per bottle.

CHICAGO MARKET, NOV. IS.

The past week hasllbeen period of
healthy liquidation in the stock mar
ket, the general trade of the country
has been good, and in grains there has
developed an undertone of native
strength which is most gratifying.
The recent enhancement of security
values on the New York Exchange
was so rapid and so entirely unmarked
by the reactions which ordinarily oc-
cur in movement, of that sort, that the
present tendency to lower range is
only natural and not to be viewed with
alarm. In their eagerness to employ
idle money the public bought stocks
until in some cases they reached fig
ures incompatible with their dividend
earning power, and readjustment
was inevitable. Now that it has been
accomplished students of the market
look for continued firmness, as stocks
are unquestlonably in stronger hands
than for some time.
Wheat holds it's own because there
is good actual cash demand for it by
Europe. There has been no notable
public buying for six weeks, which
under ordinary circumstances would
leave the market at the mercy of bear
attacks, but the foreign buying has
been so constant and the crop situa-
ton so strong that all attempts to
force wheat below 80 cents have been
profitless.
Corn is now being offered by farm
ers at present prices. They hold that
the yield will not be up to the govern
ment estimate, and it is only fair to
say that the official figures on corn
have generally been too liberal. Provi-
sions are very dull, but at the present
low price the cash demand is fair, and
light stocks will, in the opinion of ex-
perts, induce liberal buying as soon as
an improvement begins.

CORN STALK DISEASE.

A humber of reports have been COM
ing in from various parts of the State
to the effect that this disease has ap-
peared among cattle that have been
turned out in the stalks, and this is
written as matter of warning for
farmers who wish to feed their corn
stalks to cattle in the field. It is
scarcely necessary to suggest that the
cattle should be taken out of the field
wherein the disease appears, as early
as possible and not put back in the
same lot for at least month and then
very cautiously.
SYMPTOMS: This disease appears
very suddenly. The diseased animals
may be seen standing apart from the
others and showing peculiar bumped
up appearance, the tail switching, eyes
with wild expression and sometimes
cattle are actually delirious. AS the
disease becomes more pronounced the
symptoms of pain and delirium in
crease. Death frequently results
within twenty-four hours after the first
symptom is noticed. Cattle affected
with this disease are frequently re-
ported as rabid, and have been the
cause of considerable excitement in q
neighborhood. the people thinking it
rabies and that the cattle had been
bitten by mad dog. A mad dog
story usually becomes attached sooner
or later to the history OF the outbreak.
The disease is probably not contagious
and many cases appear in close sue
cession simply because the cattle have
been all living under similar condi-
tons and eating the same feed.
PREVENTION: The prevention of the
disease is very simple. It appears
among cattle that have been turned
out in the corn stalk field, and the cat
tie usually die while in the fields. If
the cattle which have been dying have
been kept in the stalks and the symp-
toms correspond with. those I. have
given, they should be taken out as
soon as possible from the field where
in the disease has appeared, and be
induced to take as much salt and
water during the next few days as
possible. The disease does not seem
to appear when the corn has been cut
and shocked, and the cattle are fed
this shocked corn. The trouble comes
most frequently to cattle that are
turned in the stalks hungry, and for
this reason it is safer to turn cattle in
for the first time after generous feed
of what they have been accustomed
to and let them remain in the field.
The disease appears most frequently
among cattle that are taken out at
night, put back in the morning, etc.
TREATMENT: Cases die so suddenly
and the disease is so easily checked
without medicine that it does not seem
worth while to suggest treatment.
