Too Much Initiation.

DR.. w. P. Sensebaugh. dentist
of Port Byron, Ill.,, is in serious
condition as q result of pranks
played on him while being initiated
in a fraternal insurance lodge in
that city.
During the initiatory ceremonies
he was blindfolded and given several
slight shocks from live wire. The
bandage over his eyes become loos-
ened, he sought to outwit those,
who were having fun at his expenses
by locating the wire and attempting
to avoid it. One of the initiating
team, seeing the candidate was able
to evade the wire, gave him a little
shove which proved sufficient TO-
throw him off his balance; he fell
hands down on the battery itself
and received shock which rendered
him unconscious.
After working over him two hours
and finally reviving him it was dis
covered that his right arm hung
limp and loose and in this condition
it has remained ever since. A week
ago DIR. Sensebaugh was stricksp
with an affection of the nerves. At
last accounts be was being kept up
through electrical treatment. One
of the attending physicians said
that paralysis of the nerves was
threatened, in which event the suf-
ferer could not live.

Pacific Express Auditor on Trial.

A dispatch from Omaha Nov. 18th
says: Fred Bechel, who for Is years
was chief auditor of the Pacific
Express Company has been plac d
on trial for embezzling the funds Of
that company. Erastus Young,
auditor of the Union Pacific rail-
road, who succeeded Bechel long
enough to make an investigation,
which he alleges developed tn. t
about $4,000 of the company b; d
been squandered, furnishes the evil
dence for the prosecution.
The first witness to testify was
one of the clerks under Bechel.
He testified to forcing balances fire.

A Spanish War PensiOnor.

Commissioner Evans of the pen
sion office notified Secretary Alger
last week that Jesse t. Gates of the
Second United States artillery who
lost part of his lip in the West In
dian campaign, has been awarded
the first pension on account OF the
Spanish war. The president and
secretary of war each took an in
terest in this case. Gates called
on them in person soon after the
close of the campaign and con-
vinced them of the merits of his
case. Gates will receive SIT per
month and this beirg inadequate,
a private pension bill increasing
the pension probably will be intro
duced in congress.
Claims on account of the Spanish
war are now coming rapidly. The
total on file up to Nov. 20 is 1877 for
war service and 178 for naval SER
vice, exclusive of the claims OF the
battleship Maine victims.

from St. Michael and 500 miles
from the place where it was reported
their steamer was wrecked on the
Yukon river. They did not intend
to go to Dawson and Circle City,
because they learned while at St.
Michael that all the country for
many miles around there is located
and held by syndicates for specula-

all necessary machinery for mining
in that country. They have enjoyed

Handbook of the Tariff.

The understanding of the complicated
provisions of the new tariff has been
greatly simplified by the issuance of this
manual. To digest the tariff law is no
easy task, but to digest the food taken
into the gastric receptacle is rendered easy
by the use of that thorough stomschic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t prevents
and cures malarial. kidney and rheumatic
trouble, remedies nervousness and insom
MIA, and removes constipation and bill
iousness. Appetite as we'll as the ability
to satisfy itwithout subsequent abdom-
inal disturbance, is restored by this fine
stcmachic, which also accelerates conva-
lesence. Persons in the decline of life,
and the infrm of every age and sex, find
it of material assistance.

A great quartz strike is reported
near the Snow Shoe pass on the
Warren's trail, 20 miles beyond
Florence. A big stampede from
Florence is reported. The new

at the late eletion is Editor Harris

President Bulge of the Mormon
church, and Harris says be was
defeated by church influence.
A dispatch from Sioux Falls, S.
D., says that Ex-senator Fred Du-
bois of Idaho, is engaged to be
married to Miss Edna Whited, Pres
ident of the State Mothers club.
1t is said that the marriage cere-
mony will take place during the
holidays.
How the Women Voted.
Lewiston Teller: The women dis
played ready discernment in the
execution of the new duty of citi-
zenship. They, as rule, manipu-
lated the cumbersome ballot intel
ligently and expediently.
The favorite curbstone stock cry
that wives, sisters and daughters
will vote as their husbands. broth
ers and fathers vote was shattered
by the experience of this election
like many other idols of foggyism.
The moral influences were above
party prejudice with the women as
body. Many instances are record
ed where the women worked and
voted against the partisan friends of
their husbands, giving as reason
the obedience due to conscience.
Woman in Her New Role.
DeLamar Nugget: There were
nearly a dozen of them, every one
of them a madam and matron.
The defendant was woman. The
prosecuting witness was woman.
The other witnesses were nearly all
women. The jury was comprised
of six women-the brightest lot of
matrons the officer could gathor up
in town. The witnesses were bright,
the prosecutor sharper than saw
brier and the defendant demure but
smart. 1t was trial in DeLamar
justice court last Tuesday of wo-
man charged with misdemeanor in
knowingly, willfully, unlawfully
and maliciously using violent Ian
guage and making threats of VIC
lence against the personal property
of another woman"
When a jury trial was demanded
the magistrate ruled that the jurors
should all be women and that they
should see little of the unpleasant
side of full citizenship and the right
of suffrage. Except the fact that
that is the first trial occurring In
Idaho where prosecuting witness,
defendant and witnesses were all
women, there was only one other
noteworthy thing connected with 1t,
which was that the large number
of spectators present were more
than usually quiet and respectful
and the jury was one OF the best
that ever sat in a magistrates court.
1t was the beginning of an era OF
some degree of responsibility In
petty courts of law. Woman has
gained new place in this portion
of the world and has demonstrated
her ability to hold it.
