FISH YARNS ARRIVING.
How Some of the Local Sports Are
 Enjoying Themselves in the Counfrv

Ed Briggs, the tobacconist, Is enjoying the beautiful climate of Monterey County. A friend of Ed wrote Jim Chesley a few days ago of a terrible accident which be- fell Briggs while casting artificial flies on the beautiful River Suir. The letter goes: We f1shed until our arms grew weary whipping water. and not a fish was caught until high noon, when one of the boys concluded to send up smoke by building a bonfire, on which our cof- fee and other good things agreeable to the inner man were to be made warm and palatable.
 Ed was fishing near the spot where the camp nre was started, and as one of the boys remarked: How lovely a trout would taste when fried on those hot coals,' Briggs shouted; I've got emr
 Sure enough, Ed had a whopper on his hook, and after a desperate and ex- citable battle the fish was landed right side up with care and flung quickly into the basket for keeps.
 Bring him this way, Ed, old boy, stone here ready for the reception of the salmonade.'
 Briggs acquiesced quickly, and after the broiled rock was wiped clean Angler Ed gently placed the trout on the i'm provised cooking stove
 Scarcely had MT. Steelhead, or salmon trout, more commonly called. felt the heat of the stone than up it sprang in the air and with a flap of its tail as a fast good by, dropped back into the stream out of sight. but not out of mind of the lone fisherman, who had angled for four long and weary hours in the hope of catching a supply of trout sufficient for a sweet monday mess on the banks of the Suir Briggs is now homesick"

BOLD SCHEME OF BAD MEN

w. D. Valentine, the Main Manipula- tor, Being Sought For by the Police-The hccomplice
 Landed in Jail.

Through the efforts of Sergeant Martin a clever scheme to fleece the unwary has been discovered
 The principal culprits, so the police claim, are w. D. Valentine and Mark Burke. Valentine conducts a brokerage business at 19 Ellis street, and Burke is his clerk
 The latter Is under arrest for conduct ing broking game, and warrant Is out Tor Valentines arrest on a similar charge Notwithstanding that several policemen were detailed to find him, up to midnight he had not been arrested
 According to the police Valentine rented a room in the Parrott building on Market street, and had numerous wires put in, which connected with his place on Ellis street A woman named Frankie Payne operated the wires, and, according to the ponce, she would telegraph him the Quo- tauons of the Eastern market, which CTS. thinking that Valentine was receiv- ing. his information from the East gathered around the board and eX- changed the usual good-luck greetings.
 It unfortunately happened that all the customers lost, and, becoming suspicious several of them notified Sergeant Martin The latter summoned Policemen Chapel and Walsh, and ordered them to make an investigation.
 Accompanied by an electrician named William Goodman, the officers yesterday
 
 building, and. after considerable trouble gained an entrance. The Payne woman was seated at an electrical table en- gagged in sending quotations" to Valen- tine. Presumably recognizing the officers she quickly fixed" the table so that even Goodman could not operate it. The table, ticker wires and other accessories such as are used by stock brokers" were confiscated and subsequently removed to headquarters
 It is claimed that a number of unsus- pecting citizens were mulcted out of va rious sums by the schemers.
 A policeman named W E. Rice, who assisted in the arrest, is apparently de- termined to shield Valentine. When asked last night why he had not arrested him he grew belligerently indignant, and declared that he knew his own business
 Rice has been on the force for about a year, and if what his fellow patrolmen say Is true, he is anxious to become de- tective. It is possible that Chief Lees realizing his worth, will invoke his as sistance in finding the brutal murderer of Mrs. Carpenter.

them to take my business. pay my debts and let me get out at once. The Idea of trying to compel us to put a stamp on every bottle of champagne before it is ready for the market Is about sensible as 1t would be to make rough estimate of the amount of wine in a grape press and assess us on such an eStt- mate As I said, in this line 1t Is not wine until 1t is ready for the trade and I know that the law did not contemplate taxing the crude stuff in every stage of its manufacture. for that is what such a ruling would be. l am sure that when the injustice of this matter is called to the attention of the Commissioner he will surely modify his decision. I will willingly pay the contemplated tax. but the business cannot stand the stamp on every cork propo- sition.
 The position of Charles E. Bowen of the Wetmore- Bowen Company is similar 10 that of the champagne man. He said that the sweet and dry wines are kept in bottles for three and four years in order to determine what kind of an article the grape juice makes It Is not infrequent that whole lots of hundreds of gallons If this had to be done with lot of 10000 or 10000 bottles, the bottler would have to pay double tax, thing that the act does not contemplate. His firm bot ties about 1000 cases of ten and twenty four quart bottles to the case every month, and these are stored in bins holding 2OOO0 bottles, to be kept for three and four years. While in the bins the bottles are naked = that is, they have no labels or caps on the corks, and while in this condition the wines are not for sale, because the ar ticle is in process of manufacture. Then, too, there are leaky corks, which would destroy stamps. and breakage, and a tax, according to MT. Bowen, would be most unjust on the raw, unfinished wines. The gentleman is of the opinion that the Com missioner has made a great mistake through his ignorance of the process of manufacture of wines; moreover, that he has made a ruling that exceeds the spirit and intent of the act. In schedule B. the tax on wines Is set forth in very brief and concise manner, to the effect that sparkling or other wines, when bottled for sale. upon each bottle containing one taining more than one pint, cents."
 nrhat is the law" said Mr Bowen 'and if the words for sale have any meaning, they mean exactly what they say. Wines in bins are not for sale, and when they are ready 10 go on the mar kef, then is the time to pay the tax

Army Christian Commission

The Young Peoples societies of the various churches are pouring a stream of usefulness into the work of the Chris tian Commission, cooperating in alr lines It is expected auxiliaries of the commis- sion will be organized In many of the larger cities of the State within the next few days. The work is extending in all directions, and is of such importance an appeal is made to the public for funds for its prosecution. The possibilities of the work can be limited only by lack of means for its support. Requests for various lines of the work are constantly coming to the notice of the commission from the young men in the service. Evan gelist Crittenton will be at Camp Merritt this week for four nights, Tuesday Wednesday,, Thursday and Friday, and will probably speak in the Iowa Regiment and at the Mothers Club. Many letters are being received from various parts of the country expressing high appreciation of the work of the commission, especially from the mothers. Contributions re- ceived yesterday were: Trinity Presby- terian Church, San Francisco, $13 30; David Jacks, Monterey, $100; First Pres byterian Church. Santa Barbara, S20 60; Central Presbyterian Church, Salinas, $1 50.

GRAPE-NUTS.
A New and Highly Nutritious
 Food.

The odd-sounding name is used to designate a peculiar food, made not exactly in the shape of nuts, but hav- ing a pleasant, nutty flavor and crisp brittleness that makes them a charm ing favorite with the palate.
 Of yet more value than the taste Is the food value of Grape-Nuts. They are largely composed of grape-sugar (your dictionary can tell you about thaD, and those who use them will find the morning meal has not only been pleasant, but has been quickly and easily digested; for grape-sugar is an article produced in the human body at one stage of the digestion of food, and is at once ready for transformation into good healthy blood and nourish- ment
 It should not be understood that the grape-sugar of which Grape Nuts Is made, has been, produced in the hu- man body But this grape-sugar is made by much the same process as the body employs and is produced by natural treatment of grains without any foreign substance whatever. It is made by the Postum Co. at Battle Creek, Mich. The result is perhaps the most highly nutritious food ever produced.
 Grocers keep Grape-Nuts.

However, they all seem to be waiting for the case to be called to the attention of the Commissioner in it's right light, believing that he will see the injustice of taxing the wine men many times, and modify his ruling.

John G. is Alright,

Mr.. John c. Callahan, assessor
of Kootenai County and Silver can
didate for Auditor, came over from
Rathdrum Wednesday on business
connected with the filing of the
Silver ticket. On every hand we
hear expressions of admiration for
Mr.. Callahan for the pluck and
energy he has displayed in build
ing up his political fortunes until
he secured nomination, which was
practically an election, to one of the
most important offices in the
county. People admire pluck and
for that reason and for the reason
that he will make a good, rapable
officer, the people are going to elect
him by a rousing majority, not
over locking the fact that the office
of auditor is too important political
ly to be in the hands of those OPP
posed to bimetallism.

The cold Cure and Prohibition.

The Gold Cure and Prohibition
will travel together in Kootenei
County this campaign. In other
words the republicans and the pro-
hibitionists have fused.
Republican candidates lowered
around the prohibition convention
at Rathdrum on the LIST and labored
until they secured the endorsement
of four of their candidates. We do
not know what prohibition legisla-
ton was promised the prohibition
lists in return for their support, but
the facts demonstrate one thing
that with all their talk against
fusion, the republicans would do a
little fusing themselves if they
could find somebody to fuse with.
1t is said that the republican pro-
hibition annex would have endors-
ed the entire republican ticket if
desired, but that would have ex-
posed the deal
The whole business is play for
the vote of the ladies, the promoters
of the scheme believing that the
ladies are not we'll posted on the
tricks Of politicians, but they
are welcome to all the ladies' vote:
they catch by such work.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1898-10-08

THE first answer given by the
people to the fusion movement in
Kootenai County was when the
United Silver forces cast 147 votes
at the precinct primaries at Bonner S
Ferry last Saturday. vote larger
than the total vote two years ago,
and still the silver voters were not
all out. The people wantto see the
Silver forces united. They are so
united in Kootenai County, and
the silver voters will ratify the
Union, for the effect it will have,
knowing that in Union only can
they win the great battle for bimet-
allism in 1900. The question is
not whether the Silver ticket will
have majority, but how big that
majority can be made. Anything
less than 500 majority in Kootenai
County means a defeat to the cause
1t ought to DO 1000 and may reach
that number. The work of the
Silver people is to make the ma
iority as great IS possible for the
moral effect. Let every Silver man
do his whole duty.
