How about that Klondike mining com. pany you were interested in about yea, ago? thought 1t was going to be such. 6 big thing?"
 "It was big thing. We disposed ot nearly s500,OO0 worth of stock. .''-ChicagC
 Mrs. Midley-Charles is such a dear fel. low! He never goes away without kissing me
 Mrs. Sowerby-You don't suppose there is anything like 'business before pleas ure' in his mind when he is going away do you, dear?'-Boston Transcript.
 'So you overcame the old antipathy of yours,'' her husband remarked, and called on Mrs. Bobbles?"
 "Yes''
 Do you think she was glad to see you?''
 T am sure of It.
 .'Ahem!--you must have some reason for that belief outside her assurances"
 '.I have. I had on the old dress that was made over twice, and my hat was out of fashion; while she had on a new gown that couldn't have come from any where but Paris. Could she help being glad to see me?"-Vanisy Fair.

HEARST, THE BOODLER.

THE attention of Mayor Phelan the purist in
 chief of San Francisco should again be called to
 the fact that Hearsts notorious boodling sheet is making especial campaign in his behalf. Amid the conflicting emotions which overwhelm man who undertakes to boss entire city, his Honor may have overlooked that fact But 1t is important that he should attend to the matter at once If he does not do SO withn>a few days the la5t vestge of claim he may have to the respect of the people of this city will be swept away
 Of course Hearst himself is fugitive from justice and cannot be reached. He can with mpunty force his services upon any man; but his gang of black mailers and boodIers are here and if Phean desire he can take proceedings against them prevent their continued advocacy If he desire to what little shred of reputation he may have left after November he will adopt our suggestion and call off the dis reputable and abandoned sheet Its support is con taminaton; its afiliation political death.
 In 18o3 Hearst signed contract with the Southern Pacific to accept $3oooo for its silence with reference to the interests of that corporation The railroad knew him to be liar and blackmailer, and so 1t made him accept the money in thirty equal monthly instaments covering State campaign and two Leg islatures For twenty-two months he maintained a mastery silence upon railroad subjects. Whenever he spoke of his esteemed fellow citizen Huntington it was in respectful terms There is doubt about Hearst having conducted this affair; he was then here andsactvey managing his paper. The justice of California had at that time made him fugitive
 At the expiration of twenty-two months he broke his contract He had decided that the monthly in- stallment of $Iooo not large enough and he imi tated the strikers of 1894 in demanding more pay. Huntington resisted further blackma and refused to pay the remaining 5000 Hearst has never brought suit for the money, and the instaments now out laying In few months they will all be barred by the statute of limitations This fact alone proves that the transaction was blackmail pure and simple
 How is it that Mayor Phelan accepts the support of this convicted booder? He must be familiar with the facts recounting for they have been pub lished again and again Is the alliance between Phean and Hearst an agreement between saint and devil? Can purity emerge from the office of a news paper owned and controlled by man who admits that he is bribe-taker-that he sold his sheet to the railroad for $3oooo, payable in instaments of SIooo month?
 If Phelan is really purist he should at once get rid of Hearst and his gang of boodlers and black mailers. The longer he continues in association with them the lower he is bound to fall in the estimation of all decent people.

It Is difficult to see how this matter
Is any nearer solution than it was q
week ago. All the men but two for
whom warrants are out are still at
large on Bear island, where the dane
ing continues With the force at his
disposal, Gen. Bacon cannot accom-
plish his task If another thousand
men were available it might be done,
but 1t would be consummated only af-
ter hard fighting. The Indians have
plenty of guns, and as soon as a land
ing was effected 1t would only be
necessary for them to retreat to the
opposite side of the island or g. new
position on the mainland. They know
every inch Of the country around here;
they are dead shots, and their fighting
strength Is measured by the full mem
bership Of their tribe, including the
souaws. who are almost as efficient as
the men.
Unless the Indians. elated by the VIC
tory they think they have won, and
which they are now celebrating, take
the initiative, 1t looks as though 1t
would be g waiting game until men
can be sent to reinforce those now at
Gen. Bacon's disposal.

Torrance of duty, prudent, far-seeing, full OF
wise counsel in every undcSa king, and i'm
bued with a spirit which gave harmony to
ell his work.
Resolved, That the many Individual teach
ers who have been privileged to work with

failing sympathy, ready tact, CHEEKY presence,
and unerring judgment always exercised in
their behalf and whose memory must ever

furious. The soldiers did their duty
nobly and bravely
The number Of Indians killed Is not
known definitely. The soldiers esti-
mated the Indians killed at twenty.
Four bodies were seen by the soldiers,

John c. Mccarthy, formerly post.
master at Saltwater and now a lum-
Der cruiser, reports that five Indians
came to his camp Thursday night and
