THE SILVER DOLLAR.

1t is frequently said by the add
vocates of the gold standard that
if you remove the government
stamp from gold dollar it is still
worth in the market 100 cents /;
but if you remove the government
stamp from a silver dollar it is
worth only about a. cents. This
is true but why is it that gold
standard advocates never state the
reason for this difference between
the two dollars. The answer is
this:
If you remove the stamp from
the gold dollar the law gives you
the right to have it restamped
without charge ; but if you remove
the stamp from the silver dollar,
under our present laws you cannot
have it restamped. If the stamp
is removed it not only ceases to be
money but it ceases to be a money
metal. 1t is then sold in the mar
ket as lead, brass, potatoes, corn
or any other commodity.
When our laws recognized silver
as money metal and treated it
as we treated gold, an un.
stamped silver dollar was worth

that his enemies will be too power
and that the present efforts to
poison the public against him will

The American people have been

GovERNoR PINCREE seems to
be as much out of place in the re-
publican party as fish is out Of
water. On Wednesday evening at
banquet Of the Michigan republi-
can club he said /; "The tree is
known by its fruits, and man is
known by his deeds. Men OF
wealth now control the republican
party. Corporations found their
interests well cared for by men
who were chosen to legislative
bodies as republicans. Now this
has been going on SO long that it
has become notorious. All men
who had schemes and the corpora
tions who wanted privileges have
joined the republican parry, ex-
pecting it to bear their burdens
and serve Them" "This has been
going on for years." continues
Pingree, but it cannot last forever.

THE promotions of Major James

THE promotions of Major James
Graham, quartermaster, to the po-
sition of Captain of Company c,
and that of Corporal Frank A.
Mccall from corporal of Company
B to second lieutenant of Company
A, was hailed with much delight
by their many friends here when
word was received that Governor
Stunenburg had recognized two of
the Kootenai county volunteers
who are now at Manila. The pro-
motion of Mccall coming SO soon
after the sad news of his being
wounded is particularly gratifying
as this promotion was the dream of
his life as indicated by his letters
to friends here short time before
the Manila battle. The first news
Of the promotions was received by
telegram from State Auditor Sin
clair who adds that Representative
McBee deserves great credit for
the interest he manifested in both
gentlemen's promotion.

Crusade Against Ride SteaIers,

Special Officer Gordy, who looks
alter the welfare of the patrons OF
the p, w. & b., railroad has start
ed crusade against a number OF
colored men who have a habit OF
getting on the blind end of the bag
gage cars attached to train No. ?,
which leaves this city for Baltimore
and way stations at - O'Clock p.
NJ, and getting free ride to Iron
Hill, where they live. The fact has
been known to the station officials
for some time and an effort will be
made by Officer Gordy to break up
the practice. The men are more
troublesome on Saturday nights
than any other time. They gener-
ally lay around Bush's coal yard
until the train starts and then dart
forward and board it. If the con-
ductor sees them and attempts to
put them off. he has to stop his train
to get to the platform where the cul-
prit is. He then has to walk the
length of three or lour express cars
" Scl vi Tue passenger CodGn again
and as soon as his back is turned,
the ride stealer is back in his old
position, all ready for the trip.
This he generally gets. and when
the train reaches Iron Hill he pulls
the signal cord, which stops the
train and gets off This state of
affairs has gone on long enough the
railroad officials think, and on Sat
urday night Officer Gordy hid him
self on the platform of one of the
cars and succeeded in catching one
of the ride stealers. He Jumped
from the train with the man at King
street and had him sent to the city
hall. Officer Gordy feels confident
that he will put an end to the prac-
tice

a carriage on this street will jolt so

Of money from this line. and we, the

WHERE IT REALLY RAINS.
Truthful Talsy Of the Heavy sDriA.
klings That Soak Kansas

A reader in the east writes that there
has been western Kansas man back
there telling them about the heavy rains
In westefn Kansas. The reader says he
Is Suspicious Of the man and thinks that
his story Is lie. He says he has always
understood that little or NO rain falls in
the western part Of the state, but that
this western Kansas man is telling a story
about ten inches of rain falling In half an
hour and wants to know IL there is any
truth in the statement. We have not
kept track Of all the rains that have fall
ell in western Kansas and of course can
not say as to the particular fall of mois-
ture to which the man from Kansas re-
fers.
We might say, however, that il the i'm
preston prevails in the eifete east that 1t
never rains in western Kansas it is se-
rious error. 1t is true that there are
spells Of drought when for several months
there will not be sufficient moisture fall
to wet Il 2 cent postage stamp, but when
it gets ready to rain out there the bottom
seems to fall out of the sky.
The story is told of man who was
driving over the divide north Of Dodge
City when one of the showers came UP.
He was riding buckboard. which has u
bottom made by fastening the cleats be-
tween the axles with spaces of half an
inch between the cleats. The water fell
so fast that it COULD not run through the
bottom of the blackboard as fast as it fell.
Rushing down the side of the divide, the
water struck barb wire fence and dam
med up until the water ran over the wire
of the fence. This was because the rain
came 80 fast that it couldn't get through
between the wires Of the fence.
On the same trip the traveller says he
saw jack rabbit drown while 1t was
jumping through the air. The same trav-
eler declares that within half an hour the
water was three feet deep on the ridge
and falling faster than it could run on
both sides of the hill. We have supposed
that possibly the traveller in his EXETER
ment might have exaggerated, but therf"
are residents in Dodge City who stand
ready TO prove the truth of the story by
showing the ridge where the blackboard
stood during the rain and the place in the
nir where the jack rabbit was when it
drowned Mail.

Letter from West virginia.

Wigglns, W. Va, August l, 1699.
While at a neighbors recently,
spoke of a married woman who
lived above me. She to my aston
ishtnent, chewed tobacco. ! said it
was bad enough for men to learn
the filthy and disgusting habit, but
for woman to chew tobacco was
simplp outrageous.
At this a married daughter pres
ent burst into hearty laugh, and
wondering why, said, "Annie tell
me the joke and let me laugh too. "
Her good mother, whose face was
flushed, left the room and the daugh-
ter said l will tell you now, my
mother chews tobacco and you cut
her deeply. She then gave me the
names of four or FIVE others who
use the weed and | assure you l was
surprised to learn this.
Our wheat crop is not turning
out as large as we hoped it would,
but the oats turned out we'll. Our
corn and potatoes will turn out bad
ly, as we have had no rain for SIX
weeks except two showers in the
last two days. Hay harvest was
bountiful.
Fishing is very good and scarcely
a day passes but parties visit us
with rod and reel to snare the gamy
bass. The catch has been fine, but
