The first American Millionaire is now
the manner in which John d. Rockeiel-
ler's wealth is rated. Less than forty
years ago the first American millionaire
was announced. Now they are numer-
Gus, and the very wealthy must be BILL
lionaires. These vast and rapid accumu-
lations Of wealth are at the expense Of
the people. Those who burn oil, use
matches. buy cereal foods. crackers, use
glassware, crockery or numerous house
hold necessities; buy farm machinery,
stoves, wagons, buggies, and in fact, al
most every human necessity for which
they pay money to the trusts, have con-
tributed their portion to the wealth OF
the millionaires and will assist in making
them billionaires.

The Toronto Cam World fears the
expansion craze that has sieEed the peo-
pie OF the United States may sweep Can
ada into the union. There would be
some good common sense displayed in
annexing the dominion, whose people are
of the same race, use the same Language
and are identical in customs with our
people; but Canada will never be an
nexed by force and ii she gets into the
union it must be by mutual consent of
both countries. The World is unduly
exercised over the matter.

Those who oppose the coiifcation OF
the present laws OF Idaho are on par
with the ignorant legislators OF the past
who favored posting probate notices on
dead walls and stumps instead OF publish
ing them in the newspapers. The old
mOssback asses will all die off during the
goth century, when the people away from
the county seats may be able to get a
glimpse OF probate business now tackled
on out-of- the-way places.-Ceurd 'Alene
Sun.
While calling attention to Idaho's back
numbers and the old stage coach methods
OF posting probate notices, the Sun might
have added number Of other legal no.
tees, such as sales on execution, mort
cages, notices Of assignment, and receiver
ships, together with fixed legal rate for
their publication. 1.-THE legislators wish
to make arecord for themselves that will
meet the hearty approval OF their con
stituents. they will get down to business,
go over the statutes, siit out the old
mossback laws, and appoint a commits
sion to compile modern code.

IT is the policy OF the war department
to abandon most of the interior military
posts. Walla Walla, Vancouver, Boise
barracks and others are mentioned as
sure to be deserted. There is nothing
said about Fort Sherman and the new
post now under construction at Spokane,
but the first named is undoubtedly to be
included in the list and Spokane's post
will lie limited to one or two companies
When the question OF Building post at
Spokane was being agitated the people
OF Walla WalIa were lulled to sleep by
the oily tongued promises OF Spokanites
TO the effect that their post would not be
disturbed. 1t now turns out that we are
all in the same boat, with Spokane hang
ing on the ragged edge. Let her hang.

The town council of New Iberia
made an appropriation last week,
of $50 to the fund to secure the
right of way from st. Martinville
to New Iberia, with a view of hsv-
ing the Southern Pacific Company
to build track from this town to
New Iberia, and run the branch
train to New Iberia instead of
Csde. The people of st. Martin
vile do not look seriously upon
this move, because they believe it
can never be accomplished.

Some Matrimonial Facts.


Some Matrimonial Facts.
Widowers are more inclined to
marry than bachelors. Widows
are more inclined to marry than
spinsters. Both facts are eloquent
in favor of the comparative advan-
tages of matrimony. For one
bachelor that marries between
the age of so and 81, seven widow
ers remarry between these ages.
These are marriages out of equal
numbers of each class; the actual
number of bachelors married will
be greater only in poportion as
they exceed by seven to one the
actual number of widowers living
at these ages.
Under the same conditions, for
every splnster married between 30
and 65 two widows are remarked.
Inasmuch as the total number of
spinsters-far exceeds that of wi
dows, and the figure given refer to
marriages ont of equal numbers,
this disparity is not SO noticeable;
it's existence, however, is beyond
dispute.
Similarly, out of an equal num-
Der of widowers and bachelors be-
tween Is and 30 years of age, 30
widowers remarry for every ID
bachelors who enter the bonds of
Hymen for the first time.-Picsy-

1T looks vesy much now as if
the United STATES will have to
wage war against the PHILIPPINES
insurgents. The United States
will secure peace on the Islands
when she will do like she did with
the Indians, drive the Cubans and
PHILIPPINES from the Islands. A
big job, but the profits will be
small.

A CRITICAL TIME
During The Battle
Of Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

THE PACKERS AT THE BATTLE OF
SANTIAGO DF CUBA WERE ALL He
ROEs. THEIR HEROIC EFFORTS IN
GETTING AMMUNITION AND RATIOTs
TO THE FRONT SAVED THE DAY.
P. Il. Butler, of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on Ju-
ly 23rd, says: I'VE all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when We
landed we had no time to see q doctor,
for 1t was a case Of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and rations. but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr-
hoea Remedy, we we're able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact. I sin.
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine wss the indirect saviour
Of "ur army, for il the packers had been
unable to work there would have been
no way Of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in supply of
this medicine for our pack train before
we left Tampa. and know in four cases
it absolutely saved life"

THE NAVAL RESERVE.

Philadelphia. April 23-The status OF
the Massachusetts, men aboard the Cat
skill underwent quite change today,
and the result may be that the ship win
be further delayed in starting for Boston
and that her crew may be materially
altered in its personnel.
A communication of most important
nature was received by Lieut.. hall, U.
S. N, which when read to the men Gre
ated a decided Juror and remains the
sole topic of serious discussion.
just before 1890 a. m, Lieut.. Hall,
who had visited the commandments office
to make Impatient inquiry after the long
looked Tor and almost despaired of tug,
hurrledly returned to the ship and or
dered quarters sounded, from the deck
before he reached the gangway.
The men in response to the bugle cali
mustered AIT by divisions and were then
brought together in close order on either
side of the quarter deck. Lieut. Hal
then proceeded to read communication
he had just received from the navy de.
partmeDt, through Capt. Casey, comman.
dant of the yard.
This was copy evidently of a general
order relative to the naval militia of ali
states, and no doubt TRANSCRIPT of one
delivered to the various state governors
1t stated in effect that all naval militia
officers and men who were to man United
States ships or monitors should he dis
charged from the state service. and were tc
be mustered into the United States ser
vice before the ships sailed, the officer!
to receive acting commissioners.
The men will enlist in the general ser
vice for ore year unless sooner dis
charged, and the utility of the respective
organizations will be preserved as far a.

POLO'S PLANT.
Says That His Letters Were Tempered
With.

Niagara Falls, Ont, April 23.-Senor
Polo y Bernabs and his staff left here
for Toronto this afternoon. Senior Polo
said lie has heard of the capture of
Spanish merchantmen and added. that the
United States would probably capture
another, the Panama, which he said,
sailed from New York few days ago
with a number of men and lot of stores.
Asked if he considered their capture a
violation of the usages of war and inter
national law, he said: 81 am not clear
about it, being an absolute violation of
international law, but I consider it petty
business and believe it would have been
much better to have awaited declara-
tion of war before beginning operations.
The time when the United States gov
srnmont violated international rules was
when Congress passed that resolution,
he declared.
Senior Polo said the statement that Min
lister Woodford's train was attacked and
the car windows broken was not true.
"Ihe crowds did attack my train.
The ar was stoned at Rochester and
Harl burg, and besides we were insult
ed. but the difference is Woodford has
made an outcry through the press
whereas up to this time have said moth
ing about the things l have endured"
SeIor Polo then intimated that his
mail had been tempered with and that
letters from the Spanish consul at Chi
cago, and the French ambassador at
Washington, had not reached him. He
said that he had not heard from a single
Spanish consul in the United States.
