Daily NEWSPAPERS,

Under the above heading the
Solomon of the Weiser Record,
ont Of tho fnlness OF his experience
in operating number of weakly
papers in various parts Of this
state, has for the general educa-
ton of his literary brethren in
Idaho, devoted three quarters Of
column on the modus operandi Of
conducting daily newspaper to a
certain profit, and as a basis there
for criticises the sizs and quality
OF the DAILY GRANGLvILLE Press.
1t is funny t. lis Ell to this Aedg-
ling laying down the law to men
who were publishing successful
newspapers when he was wearing
swaddling clothes, particularly
when his present effort is tn most
laughable burlesque on a daily
paper which ever saw the light Of
day in this stale. 1t takes some
thing more than immaculate gall
and the publication Of third rate
associated press reports which
have been given TO newspapers 36
hours previously to make sue
cessful daily newspaper, especially
when conducted by Journalist"
who is conspicuous for many pre-
vious failures. 1t will not take
the good people of the Weiser
country long to find out vt a
newspaper subsidized by a corpor-
alton for the purpose Of booming
it's real estate can be Of no benefit
to the community, and we expect
to see at an early date that brother
Solomon has in the language Of the
poet dumped his job"

"MooN TOUCH. +"
These Are the Days In New Jersey
when People Become Real
"Lunatics."

In all the varied experience of the
Camden police and hospitals at no time
has there been so many cases of insan-
ity as during the latter part of the sum-
laer. In most cases the hallucinations
of the unfortunates were grotesque ard
were attributed to the action of the
moon.
This statement seems absurd, but it
was made, recently in the course of a
conversation with an authority on men,
tai Affections, who also made the decla-
ration:
= hundreds of people annually become
temporarily demented by the cold ray IS
of the full moon"
The majority of the cases occur in
iorrid attitudes, ard the distorted fea-
lures of the aEorigines of Central Amer.
lea are caused by moon rays. Not in
frequently this peculiar influence ex-
eried by that luminary travels over the
continents in zones. Anyone who wants
to try the experiment will get the effect
by sleeping at night under the rays of a
new moon. Should the experimental
happen to lie in the zone lit by the men
tal-disturbing rays the rising sun will
find his features horribly distorted and
the mind back of them on rampage.
Sleeping tramps in the fields of this
latitude suffer the most from ..moon-
touch"
The case of Frederick Jones, tramp.
who was arrested by Police Sergeant
Abbott, Of the Third district, Camden.
on July Is, was a case of ''moon-touch. -
The moon was 'fulling" then. and
Jones looked as if he had been "out with
the MOON" His mouth was twisted over
and had nearly caught on the upper lobe
Of his ear. His nose was twisted. a Ia

eyelids were, in sailor parlance, SKY

Another "moon-touched" tramp.
found on July is, near Collingswood, N.
D., stood almost motionless in a field for
hours. His clothes were decked with
branches Of leaves.
Seldom are the cases Of "moon-touch"
violent or dangerous, and, though
sometimes prolonged. the waves of iu-
macy are uncertain and ether-like. and
pervade the air. Not infrequently these
"moon-touch" waves in a particularly
clear and dry month simulate cases of
surstroke.
Noon-touch' frequently causes aim
less wanderings to the subject. The
"moon-touch" wave zone is running
through the middle states now, and the
doctors say: Look out for distorted

UP THE WETTERHORN.
A Daring American Girls Remark.
able Feat In Alpine Moun.
talneerlnG.

The ascent of the Wetterhorn is q stiff
job for seasoned and muscular man.
For slip of girl of % it is something
OF "a feat. Miss l.. L. M. Coote, daughter
OF the secretary of the National Vigil
nceassociation, who has just done this
climb, is little more than a child" to
use her fathers description to one of
our representatives, but already she has
given proof of an indomitable spirit and
love for the hazard of trackless
ways. One of her earliest enterprises,
Tor instance, was solitary walking
tour through Switzerland. 1t was an
uneventful tramp, and it showed the
spirit OF The girl, and was in sense the
precursor of the more serious under
taking which she contemplates-a bicy-
Gle ride round the world.
The Wetterhorn is a dangerous noun
tain, and has claimed lives before now.
Miss Coote assembled the middle peak of
the ridge, known as the Mittelhorn, and
rising to height of 1866 feet. This,
OF course, is not her first experience of
the Alps, although she has never vet
made any remarkable climbs. Once.
when making the ascent of an easy and
familiar peak, with girl friend who
was her only companion, they were
overtaken by snowstorm. The girl
was not used to climbing, and got dizzy,
and, as usual in such circumstances
wanted to sleep. Miss Coote was fully
alive to the danger of such a proceed
ing, and managed to keep her friend
awake until they reached a hut in the
mountains. There drowsiness again
overlook the girl, and Miss Coote had to
renew her efforts, happily successful. to
ward off the attack. The incident serves
further to illustrate the young woman's
pluck and spirit.
Miss Coote's bicycle trip around the
world began September 26. It is ad.
mittedly very dangerous enterprise,
and Miss Coote is fully aware of its seri.
Gus nature. The comments which an.
peared in the Daily Chronicle on Sat.
urday give some idea Of it's gravity, but
Mr.. coote says his daughter will not be
deferred. Her ascent of the Wetter.
horn gives some idea of her pluck" he

Delinquent Poll Taxes.

Mr.. A. +. PARKER:-Please give
notice through the FREE Press,
that under the recent decision OF
the Supreme Court, poll taxes
for the year of 1899 become delin-
quent the second Monday in Dec
ember and after that date, 80 cents
additional was added. This case
WAS carried up from Custer county
by ex-tax-collector Sponsberg who
collected $50 poll taxes after the
date Of tho second Monday in Dec
ember, and the first Monday in
January. The commissioners
held him for the 30 cents extra on
each poll. The District Court
sustained the Board Of Commits
sioners, and the supreme Court
affirmed the decision of the Dis
trict Court, and under that decis-
ion the tax collector has to collect
the 80 cents extra.
Very Respectfully,

A Beverage That Is Popular in
South America. -
Peculiar Methea Of Making aAa
Drinking the Commonly Used
DecOction-Fore1gn Soon
Like II.

An effort was successfully made in
Russia few years ago to introduce as
fashionable drink the yerba mate, a
South American product of the nature
OF tea. Russians, being inveterate tea
drinkers, were not aversc to trying a
ne. dacoction, and mate became ia
voIiie beverage, although il was even
tu.il,y served in the same way that
tea was, the samovar being found equal
~ useful for it. The fancy icr the
drink is said to be spreading, owing to
ITS decidedly soothing properties.
While not SO much of a narcotic as cof-
fee, 1t is equally stimulating and pos.
sesses nutritiye quality that is moi
found In either tea or coffee. To the
lasnits who established in Paraguay
he. first South American missions is
owing the preservation dnd spread OF
tae custom of taking mate. Before the
arrival of the Jesnits the Indians had
heen mate drinkers, but had NOT culti
vatsl the herb. The Spaniards at frs,
believed the drinking Of it to be per.
nicious habit, and forbade it, but when
analysis showed its medicinal proper.
ties its use was sanctioned. Since then
it is seldom that foreigner lives six
months in the country without becom-
ing mate lover.'
Mate is properly the name of the
bowl or cup in which the herb is taken
yerba being the name of the herb. The
ordinary bowls used are dried gourds
polished, with an opening made in one
end. One of them is bound around the
mouth with silver; the tube used is
OF silver with perforated bulb at one
end. This end is inserted in the cur
after the yerba has been put in. Three
teaspoanfuls would be the allowance
for these cups, which are the size Of 8
good big orange, and hold perhaps hall
pint of liquid. A little cold water
sets the yerba, and then boiling water
is added, just as tea Is made. The first
few draws at the tube cannot be swal.
lowed, as the yerba comes up; after
that only the liquid will rise.
IN serving mate the servant or who
ever prepares it must take the first few
draws. The cup is then presented to
the guest, and in party of people each
person is expected to partake from the
same cup and tube. This practice is ex.
tremely unpleasant to foreigners, and
sometimes debars them from learning
to take mate, for he who is mate
drinker and refuses the "bombilla'-
the tube-because others have used it
will give mortal offense.

with the host, constituted the meet
ing. Congressman Shafroth went over
the details of passing such bill, and
lhe other men present, all of whom
nave been on the ground, recapitulatei
all they personally gathered concerning
the interesting ruins below Durango.
'ranfing that the people living in the
agricultural country contiguous IN
.he ciisi dwellings made no objection to
the setting aside of the land containing
these prehistoric buildings. and he had
recelf~a almost an assurance that thew
would not, Mr.. Shafroth saw no i'm
bill. '"e
Maps and pictures of the ground and
ruins were carefully gone over and
studied. While the dimensions of the
area were not specified, it is thought
that Is miles, running northeast and
southwest, by four or five miles wide.
Will include the most important ground
without infringing on any precious
minerals or agricultural lands, Mr..
shafrotn made copious notes to take
with him to Washington and will work
for the passage of the bill. He advises
that no appropriation be asked for in
the first measure. 1t will be sought to
make some provision for the caretakiur
OF the ruins. Excavations must be
made scientifically and will be restricts
ed by license. Mr.. Shafroth will trv
to enlist the interest OF the Smithsonian
institution. The matter will be pushed
with all possible speed. At the pres
ent time two large exploring parties
OF 100 members each are being organ
lied, one in San Francisco and one in
the east, to visit the Mancos CANYON

some with Three. Some with Fsvs
soles, Worn By MarketneA
and Others.

The description double-soled would
doubtless convey to most minds the idea
OF the thickest-soled shoe or boot there
is, but, as a matter Of fact, there are
made boots with five soles, making al
together a sole an inch or more in thick
ness. Such boots are worn by market
men, as, for instance, in Fulton fish
market in this city.
There the floor in business hours is al
WAYS wet. Great quantities of fish are
constantly being handled. Excepting
those frozen in winter, the fishes that
come in boxes are packed in ice. They
are always packing fishes here for ship
ment to the great number of interior
points, away from the coast, that draw
their supplies of saltwater fishes, and
fresh-water fishes, too, for that mat
ter, from New York, and the fishes
shipped are packed in ice. They seem
to be forever chopping ice here, and
there are fragments of ice scattered
around and melting, and there's con-
slant dripping, more or less, from the
many ice-packed boxes handled; and
they're always washing down some
where to keep the market clean. So that
in business hours the floor is always
wet.
The marketman moves about for
hours on the wet floor, and to keep his
feet dry he wears, it may be, rubber
boots or the five-soled marketman's
boot, whose sole is thick enough to raise
his feet clear OFF the floor sufficiently
to keep them dry. Into the bootleg, a
convenient place to carry it, he tucks,
when it is not in use, the handle of
the Ratchet which he uses in opening
or mailing up boxes of fish.
There is a three-soled boot that is
sometimes worn by bookkeepers in the
market, who might have occasion to
leave the Office and go out on the mar
ket floor to look after receipts and
shipments. Five-soled and three-soled
boots are worn also more or less by
smackmen and by men on shore in va
rious occupations besides marketmen.
They are worn by men working in big
refrigerators and in cold storage ware
houses, and in abattoirs. Truckmen
wear three-soled boots in winter. put
ting them on in November and wearing
them till spring, to protect their feet
from rain and slush and snow.
As compared with shoes and boots of
the ordinary kinds, the number OF
three-soled boots sold is small; but such
boots are, nevertheless, articles of reg
ular and steady use.-N. Y. Sun.
