Eli Important Case.

Judge Kelley heard the case of
q. Webster VS.. Oregon Short Line
Railway on Monday and Tuesday.
Plaintiff sued for three head of
cattle killed by the railway COM
pany's cars, amounting to 800.
The company deny that they were
guilty Of negligence as alleged by
plaintiff, and deny therefore that
they are liable for the cattle. Jud &c
Kelley thought differently and
gave Mr.. Webster Judgment for the
amount asked. An appeal TO the
district court was taken. No doubt
Inf beaten in the district court, the
company will carry the matter to
the supreme court, as, owing to
their right-of-way being fenced,
they claim they are not liable for
stock killed that break through the
fence or get Oh the track in any
other way. Heretofore they have
always affected a settlement with
stock owners. The case will be
watched with interest by the stock
owners Of Bear Lake. Col. Miller
and 7. J.. Glenn appeared for
plaintiff, and Col. Blair and R. S.
Spence for the defendant.

some Reasons.

II is an interesting fact that
there is a great deal Of money in
Boise banks for which no invest
ments can be found. 1t goes beg
ging. There are several reasons
for this. One is that, in some cas-
es, the bankers do not desire to
invest in warrants under present
conditions. Another is that BOISE
merchants are i'll such good con-
dition that they are not borrowers.
Banks cannot make money off Of
merchants when the latter dis
count their bills.-Statesman.
Yes. And another reason is,
that there is no business in which
money can be proftably used.
Another is, that men cannot give
good security" although they
may own some of the best property
III Boise. Another is that there Is
scarcely anything being done III
the line Of developing Idaho's
thousands Of resources, because of
the fact that property is continu-
ally falling III price, aud the state
is worth as much undeyclopcd as
it would be developed. All Of
which the Statesman knows, 'but
still it PERSISTS in supporting pol
icy that is retording Tdaho's pro-
gress and making bankrupts out of
men, who ordinarily would be con-
sidered we'll off.

Killing OF Tubitnep.

Governor Steunenberg has re-
ceiyed a copy Of the evidence taken
before John M, Finn, justice Of the
peace of Wallace precinct No. / in
Shoshone county, acting as coroner
in the matter of the death of Fred
erick D. Whitney, foreman Of the
Frisco mill, who was murdered on
the night Of December 23d by a
mob Of masked men Purusal Of
this evidence has convinced the
governor that the killing Of Whit
ney was dastardly outrage that
calls for vigorous action on the
part of the state. This is the first
information received directly by
the governor. He had for some
time been expecting to be advised
by the authorities there respecting
the matter.
1t appears the county authorities
have taken no action beyond the
holding OF the inquest. The COM
missioners have not offered any
reward, nor has the governor been
aas.ised by the officials there of
ANYTHING being done to apprehend
ahd punish the murderer. The
governor is now considering what
can be done effectively He has
determined to move in the matter
vigorously as soon as he can decide
what policy is best 10 pursue.
The evidence taken at the coron-
er's inquest is Of a very meagfe
character. Reading of it coneys
the impression that there was no
great effort to elicit the information
that was needed tofasten the crime
upon the guilty parties. The only
witnesses called were Norman Eb-
bley, who looked after Whitney
after he was Shot, Dr. Stone, who
attended the victim, Peter Bprnier,
who found Whitney lying on the
track, ]. ". Winner, who was in the
room with the murdered man When
the mob appeared, and David Good
ale, Whitney's brother.in-law.

Selling Goldhshcs.

In store where home aquarium supplies
are solo there are, besides the usual varied
assortment of glass globes, number of
larger tanks of various shapes and sizes In
which stock is kept for sale. The tanks
themselves are, of course, sold If there Is u
demand for them.
Lying across the corner of the largest OF
these tanks is little net, the hoop no
more than or inches in diameter and
the handle about a foot long This Is to
SCOOP up the goldflshes when they are sold
When new outfit is sold complete, the
fishes are delivered in the globe or tank.
1t often happens. however, that the person
already owning globe wants to replace
fish that have been lost or to add to his
stock, and he goes to the store where such
things are sold and buys ono or more gold
fishes, Just as he would buy any merchan-
disc, except that instead of sitting down
at a counter to make his selections he
bends over tank and indicates among
the fishes swimming about the ones no
wants. As he makes his selections the
dealer scoops them out with the little net,
and as likely as not the purchaser carries
the fish he has bought single fish or half
n dozen, or whatever the number may DO
right away with him in a tin pail.
Little goldfish of the commoner kinds
can be bought for few cents apiece.
Some of the rarer varieties cost dollars

An Innovation That Got One London Jehu

I'VE amt allowed to have advertise

HENRY'S WATCHFUL SPOUSE.
Whether Bunko Lurked In Bills Greeting
or Not, He's Safe.

or Not, He's Safe.
He was young, but that WASH 9 his fault.
He was married-that was. But when one
came to view the rosy cheeks, from which
blossomed forth the very essence of health,
the trusting eyes, the robust and rustic
but not ungraceful form of her who chung
with trusting confidence to him, one could
not help but feel that his excuse was good
one Every inch of his o feet of sturdy
manhood bespoke familiar acquaintance
with plows, cows and corn, and her ap-
pearance was suggestive of peaches and
homemade pies. They, these two happy
mortals-for they were happy and didn t
care who knew it-stood at Twenty third
street and Sixth avenue and watched "the
passing show" Suddenly he grabbed her
by the wrist and, pointing across the
street, calculated, Say, Liz, hanged if
there ain't Bill Durland coming this way!"
"Pshaw Now, Henry" admonished
she, THAT amt Bill tall. II no speaks to

1t evidently was Bill Durland, for, ex-
tending his hand, he said in good, strong,
hearty voice: "Wby, hello, Henry How's
every one at homer" Henry" spake never
a word, but gazed longingly at the out
stretched hand and then tearfully at tho
sharer of his joys and sorrows. Then he
exploded, "Say, Bill, know it's yen, but
Liz here thinks it's some kind o bunko
game bein worked, and l dissent say a
word to you" Bill looked astonisbed,
then amused and continued his way up
Sixth avenue. Henry and Liz had some
earnest conversation, during which Liz
was overheard 10 remark that she didn't
