picked that up and looked at it and saw that it was set to go off at o'clock. IL was then about a quarter past ?. Whether the alarm had gone of and failed to wake him up, CT whether it was busted up and wouldn go of at all was something that, of course, 1 couldn't tell, but that inter ested me very much. 1 stood there thinking about 1t and at the same time sort of swinging my amp round to finish surveying the room when the light fell on yellow paper that was lying with one end Of it kind O bent up Cn top of the bureau, and when I came to look a. this 1 saw it was a telegraph blank. IL was a message that this man had received and put down there on the bureau. It sad something like this:
 If you want to see Mary alive you want to come by the first train
 Well, now, I imagine he must have got that dispatch somewhere along about midn .ght. and he'd packed his bag and got all ready to start and had an hour or two to spare, and so he'd set his alarm clock and laid down to wait. You know I don't think he should have laid down and taken any chances Cn that at all, but of course I'd got to wake him up; the only question was how
 T might have kicked over a chair or two in his room, or gone outside nnG thrown a rock against the window blinds: but this might net have woke him up, and there wasn't any time to spare. You see, 1 knew the train I had been in this town on business be- fore, and l had taken it myself l. left at PAS, and 1t was now about 2 20 and something mere than a mile to the station. So I just leans over and shakes him on the shoulder, and when he turns his head I blinds him for a minute with the light, and l says ta him:
 "'Old man, it's about time for you to be getting up.
 What time is it?' ke says, cover ing his eyes from the light. but get ting up at the same time, and I tells him that it's about 2:20, and up he jumps very sudden.
 What he'd do about me. or try to G0, of course I couldn't tell. but I'd made up my mind what I was going to do when 1 was shaking his shoulder, and when he finds his feet and begins to get up 1 says to him:
 I'm going to take that train my self
 And I walked down to the station with him. neither Of Us saying boo
 He gOI into the smoking car when the train came along. and l got in somewhere else. I didn't see him get off or where he was going; I didn't look for him; but knew well enough that there wasn't any danger of his go- ing to sleep again.
 Years after that. walking down Broadway, here in this town, I saw that man coming. I would have scrt Of casually walked by. myself and not seen him; but he saw ne, and stopped and shook hands.
 " Old man, he says, shes living yet, thank Gcd. but I never'd havc forgive myself if I'd have missed that train.
 And then he shakes hands with me gain and passes on: he never offered to stake me, nor nothing; and 1 liked that best of all" l."-New York Sun.

Our Smallpox Scare.

DIR. S. S. Johnson, the city health off,
Ger, reports no new cases of the so-called
smallpox. The last case reported is more
than nine days old, so the danger OF con-
tagion is past.
II this mild disease were smallpox it
would be better than vaccination and not
as severe or dangerous. If the prevailing
disease would afford immunity from real
smallpox it would be blessing rather
than a curse to the family that might
contract it. However, it is not generally
believed TO be smallpox, and of course it
would not afford immunity from the
dread disease. This skin disease has WIS.,
tied every community in the Northwest
in the past year, and the idea of its being
smallpox is ridiculed in many places
since the first scare has subsidized.
In any event there is no ground for
fear. If it should be smallpox it would
be better than vaccination. If it is a
mere itch, only sanitation and not quar-
antine is demanded to stay its ravages.

New Law Point Raised.

Supreme court has revised the ludg-
ment of the second district court in the
case of Chas. o. Keen, appellant, VS..
Gustav J. Hahn and wife. respondents,
from Latah county. The decision dis
poses of an interest respecting the time
when land purchased from the govern
ment under the pre-emption filing be-
comes community property as against a
mortgage lien. The action was brought
to iorclose mortgage given for money
loaned to pay the cost of proving up and
paying the government.
The decision says in part: "While it
is true that the defendant Halin has an
inchoate right in said lands after his FL
ing for and settlement on said land so
long as he complied with the -emption
laws Of congress, such right did not ripcn
into title until the last requirements OF
said laws had been complied with, to wit;
Making final proof and payment of mon
ey. He did not own said land until said
proof and payment were made and the
community could not own it therefore al
that time.
"Hence, we conclude that said real es
tate was a community property at the
time said mortgage was executed and the
mortgage lien is prior TO any right of the
wife"

british officers in Spanish town, which
had Just been occupied by an English
force, were surprised by visit from two
very young and beautiful Spanish girls
OF the better class. These fair callers
begged protection in the alarming cir
cumstances in which they had been
placed by the occupation of the rougher
soldierly. Their request was, of course,
CALAMITY granted, and in short time

himself desperately in love. In due time

News From Imnaha.

+. T.. Johnesse, superintendent of the
Delta group which is being developed by
the Idaho Exploration and Copper
company, rode out TO Grange Vile yester-
day and reported wonderful showing in
the face, of what is called the Last Chance
drift. He reported 3S inches of ore that
had increased 80 per cent in value in a
distance of five feet, and that the angle
of increase in width of the ledge was one
inch to the foot.
This ore had assayed over 20 per cent
at last report. This increase will make
over as per cent or S92. so per ton, for the
copper vanes with gold enough to pay
for mining and milling the ore.
This Last Chance drift is looked upon
as the test of the camp, The ledge is
one of the smallest surface showings. but
il is in the most solid formation. The
cropping occurred at a level of a per-
inanent flow of spring water, and there
! was evidence at hand that the mountain,
at that point had been subject to nc
movement that would expose the primary
ore body to surface influences that would
| be liable TO cause radical changes.
This occurance of high grade ore is
very encouraging, as it is test of the
camp that must be taken for a criterion
1t practically demonstrates the existence
of millions of tons of high grade ore in
the Delta group. 1t demonstrates the
theory that the iron caps of the camp
cover copper sulphdes which are the
primary deposits,
| This result OF development is o.
especial significance in as much as il
establishes the fact that the copper Of the
whole Snake river belt is primary ore
1t will inspire new faith in all prospects
in that region. II the copper is a pri
mary ore the mineralized zones will
surely increase in volume and valu
with depth.

C0rnac0pia Mine Sold.

A Montreal syndicate has secured the
Cornucopia group of mines in earstern
Oregon, says the Spokane Review. The
deal was closed yesterday in Minneapolis
by George H. Reincr, of the Spokane
firm of Hcrrin x Reiner. While de-
finite figures are not made public, it is
known that the price of the property is
i'll the immediate vicinity of $4,000.
The Montreal syndicate chose to make
the deal quietly, and the idenity OF the
parties who are prominent in it is CON
ccalcd from the public. London capital
is at the back of the deal.
II. NJ. Herrin received the news Of the
cunsummation Of the deal in telegram
from his partner yesterday. "We have
been at work on tins for some time" he
said. "Mr. Reiner wires that the papers
have been signed in Minneapolis, and
consult with the new owners OF the mine.
The property was controlled by John r..
Searles, the New York sugar king. The
bond runs until April l, 1900, As our
principals have enjoined us to strictest
secrecy about their plans, can only tell
yea that the price is well up toward
the top Of six figures. A large cash pay
ment has been made TO the owners, and
a sum has been placed III bank sufficient
to carry development forwarl during the
enter term of the bond.
