TWO Instances Wherein Startling

Embarrassment

That every man has his double is
proved by the following incident: For
weeks young lawyer of, Chicago would
meet almost every day lin his regular
routine work bright-faced youth who
would cry cheerily: Hello, Max" as
he passed by. The lawyers name was
Jim; but he always replied and one day
stopped the youth with the remark:
You may know who you are talking to.

- I'm talking to Max JONES'" was the
reply, land if you don't know me you
ought to- '" '..7 ..

the lawyer said, and explained that il
was case of mistaken indemnity. The
youth said that he was dead ringer

he spoke he would say Mr. Smith,"
But he did not for the resemblance was
80 great that he continued to call jim
MAX" every time they met and once
paused long enough to tell the story OF
how he had mistaken n fellow named
Smith for him. ''
another case was Of q young girl
who promised TO meet her cousin in one
OF the large stores and eat luncheon
with him. She got there five minutes
100 soon and supposed she would have
TO wait, when. CHANGING through the
crowd. she thought she saw him coming
toward her. She stood still and waited
and when he was opposite her She
grabbed his hand with n little laugh
and cried: "1'm awfully glad to see
you:'

the surprised glance ofth polite stran-
ger. II beg your pardon" said he, "but
have you not made q mistaken"
The girls cousin is a noted, tease, so

Large Amounts Of Money On Deposit -Ex.
eeIIeRt Showing Aade By Both Institutions.
Caldwell's two banks, the First Ma
tional and the Commercial, are a fair
index to business conditions in Cald-
well. On June 26, the Commercial de-
clared a 10 per cent dividend and made
a statement of its condition. Its total
footings are 1921 1884, deposits sub
iect to check $751; 6863, certificates of
deposit, $172774, loans and discounts
S33, 1896, cash on hand, So, 130,80, due
from other banks, $50,984,35. This
bank though only few years old is in
highly prosperous condition. Else
where in this paper will be found the
report of the condition of the First
National Bank at the close of bust
ness, June 80. The growth of this in
stitution is marvellous. In May 1893,
its report, published in THE TRIBUNE,
showed total footings at $l9S,684, 49,
while the report published today shows
total foOtingS at $768,635,5 So, approxi-
mately four hundred per cent increase
in six years. Probably no other bank
ing institution in this country ever had
so rapid substantial growth. In
1893, its individual deposits subject to
check were S98, 1874, 40, now they are
$685., 95I,lS. Its loans and discounts
together with over drafts. stocks, Sc
curities etc. amount to about S350,0O0.
This bank is unquestionably the most
substantial Institution in idaho, and is
doing a larger business than any of
them. People who think that Cald
well is not progressing will do well to
remember that the total bank footings
| In May 1898 were less than two hun
dred thousand dollars, now, they are
crowding closely on to ten hundred
thousand.

to contain sort of death bed confess

says that Tate claimed himself to be

toms store last winter, and enters
infinitely into the circumstances at
tending the robbery. 1t speaks high
ly Of Leo's bravery, in which respect it
states the case truthfully, but when it
goes on to say that George Tate, one
of the robbers, is dead and that he died
from the effects of the blow Leo gave
him on the head, and then tells about
Joe Wilson, the other robber, going to
South America, the whole business
takes on the color of romance. We
suspect this letter is simply an attempt
to throw off suspicion.

to have a preliminary examination.
From all that we have learned, it does
not seem that a very serious offense
has been committed, and it would be
much better if McJunkin and Compton
would shake hands and say no more
about it. If they will be sensible snd

noes, or threatening tidal waves, that
it takes something extremely eruptive
to disturb their ordinary composurs,
but the successful effort Of a rural
rancher in his search for water with
which TO irrigate his fields, parched
with long drought has turned the
gaze Of the whole State toward the lit
tie town OF Whittier hamlet located
In the neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Some weeks ago farmer named
Myers, living at Santa Fe Springs, be-
gan sinking an artesian well. Others
in the neighborhoood had successfully
tapped subterranean flow at depths
Of from 300 to 400 feet and Mr.. Myers
hoped for successful issue TO his en-
terprise. BY slow stages the drills de-
scended until depth Of 500 feet was
attained. This was on SUNDAY, May
IA. A drill 200 pounds in weight was
employed, and the prospect Of tapping
a good flow of water was becoming
more and more encouraging. A
l0-inch pipe had been sunk some dis
lance and the usual preparations made
for controlling the fi1w when it did
make its expected appearance.
The heavy drill was working with its
usual monotonous regularity when,
after one deep plunge, loud roaring
sound was heard coming from the
we'll, accompanied by jsts of muddy
water and an outburst of heavy
stones. Soon after, the drill itself
made its appearance, followed by o
grand column of water which forced
itself higher and higher until the top
reached an elevation of 500 fee The
flow was accompanied by vast qulati-

Last week considerable agitation

and disappearance in our midst Of a
genteel looking young man who was
In the business of getting up Presby-
terrain Year Books. His scheme was

was to furnish acopy", and the pro-
moter retained a certain number OF

thing moved along smoothly and some
Of our business men, with view to
advancing Christianity, bought the ad.
vertising space, paying In checks drawn
in favor of Rev. Smith. AS the young
man was anxious to move on, Rev.
Smith endorsed the checks and the
young man cashed them. Then he
moved on without taking the precau-
ton to make arrangements for print
ing the book. The matter assumed a
serious aspect, especially for Rev.
Smith, upon whose letter of recon-
mendation the business men, an xious
to advance Christianity, had made
contributions. None of them took
any thought respecting the So,
each had contributed, but it
troubled them to think of the damage
that would result to religion by the
non-appearance of the Year Book. 1t
was ascertained that the young man
had gone to Montpelier. and after the
necessary legal steps had been takep,
Sheriff Campbell started in. pursuit.
The young man was apTrehended and
brought back to face outraged conf.
dence and justice. He seemed to be
very much astonished at the fuss that
was being made, aud could not under
stand it at all. He assured everybody
that he had no intention of wrong
doing and was ready to publish the
book just as soon as Rev. Smith pre-
pared the copy. Said he had been
ready all the tine; that he actually
pinned to get at the work; that the de-
lay had caused him sleepless anxiety,
and that he hoped Rev. Smith would
hasten to fulfill his part of the contract
because the delay had already caused
unjust suspicion respecting his young
man's) business integrity. He was al
so genuinely grieved that Smiths pre-
crastination had been the cause of put
ting the County to the great expense
of sending an officer 400 OF 500 miles,
thus piling additional burdens on the
shoulders of the already overloaded
taxpayers. Nothing, he said, so deep
ly touched his heart as to note the
hardships imposed on the patient, hard
working taxpayers by hasty and ILL
considered prosecutions. The more
he thought over the matter the more
sorroWful and eloquent he grew, until
they all promised to let him go if he
would say nothing more about it. He
went. The Year Book will appear in

Another POIygamy Case.

The Salt Lake 7ribnne publishes the
following:
Tooele, July 1O.-This town was
treated to sensation to day. Peter
A. Droubay, the most prominent mer-
chant of TOOele county, was arrested
on the charge of adultery, alleged to
have been committed with Martha j.
Bramett, City Treasurer of TOole City.
The crime is said to have been COM
mitted on the 18th of March, 1899, and
at divers time up to July 9Th.
The preliminary examination of
Droubay was held this afternoon at 3
o'clock before Justice of the Peace E..
Bonelli. Droubay pleaded not guilty
but Mrs. Bramette confessed the entire
Illicit relationship on the stand, and
Droabay was placed under $1,000
bonds to await trial in the District
Court. James and Louis Strasburg
we're mentioned as bondsmen, but had
not signed at the hour of sending
this report.
While the matter was not brought
out at the examination, DrOubay
has given the public to understand
that he was married to Mrs. Bramett,
by Mormon elder in Mexico. They
left Tooele together, last March for the
East and were gone a month. 1t is
supposed that they went to Mexico at
that time,

The Shooter Shed.

| Editor FLORIDA AgricultNgjSt:
| In answer to your letter asking me
| about the success of our orange shed,
| will say that so far it has proved
perfectly satisfactory. We built it a
year ago, just getting it finished by
Christmas, and during the first few
frOsts we had it was from 10 to Is de-
greeS warmer inside than out. During
the big freeze my brother had fires
burning and kept the thermometer at
10 degrees with a temperature of =
degrees outside. None of the trees
were hurt in the slightest degree in
the shed, while outside all the orange
trees were killed to the banks, and all
the earlier peaches We're killed to the
ground.
The shed is built with solid walls, 16
feet high, enclosing the three acres.
Posts 4x4 and Is feet long are set In
rows 20 feet apart one way, and 10
feet the other so as to have the string
ers, which are 2x6, every 10 feet.
The posts are Eft Gin. in the ground,
the lower end being treated with car
bolinium for about feet to preserve
them; and every part of the fra1ne~
work is treated in the same way where
TWO pieces toucn.
The cover is made of Ike plank, 20
feet long, laid on the stringers, every
now and then one being nailed to
strengthen the building. During the
winter we close the top tight, and re-
move every other plank during the
summer. In future, however, I shall
remove two planks and leave the third
as | find it better for the trees.
There was very little bloom last
spring, but there are few scattering
oranges. We also had good crop of
Waldo peaches. Bananas were not
hurt in the slightest, and some that

During the winter | and my fam
lily of six were taken with la grippe.
The disease was very prevalent at that
time in the village where l resided,
nearly everyone being sick with it.
Our doctors treated it as best they could,
but were very unsuccessful in the treat
ment of it. AS soon as my family were
taken sick l went to the drugstore and
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na, and we
all took it according to the directions
given on the bottle; and although our
cases seemed to be more than usually
violent in the outset, yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all we'll much
sooner than those who were treated by
the regular physicians
Many people died of this la grippe dur
ing this epidemic, and few if any, were
sick SO short time as myself and
family. After we were all well we had
one bottle Of Pe-ru-na left.

Six stoves to each half-acre is suffi-
cient in this latitude to keep houses
warmed during most severe freezes.
The piping could be heightened consid-
erably and still give off heat as we
found we wasted part of the available
warmth, even with low fires. We only
light the fires when temperature inside
falls to about 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
