in lieu of the land embraced in
forest reserves:
"The Northern Pacific Railroad
has just filed on 1910 acres Of
timber land at Oregon City, Ore
gon.
The land on which the filing
was made was applied for in lieu
of those released to the United
States government on account OF
being within the limits of the
Mount Rainier and other Pacific
coast reserves as defined by the
forest reserve bill.
OF the filings made only por-
ton of the land was open, the rest
being occupied by individual
claimants. The filing Of the road
on the land will, it is said, in nc
manner affect the present owners
other than to force them to sell al
a referees price. In other words,
the act of fling was not done be
cause of any flaw in the owners

NOT FRED BARNEY.
T. p. Culp the Name of the Man Found
Murdered at Standpoint.

The family Of the young man found
at the Great Northern Depot at Sand
Joint on October Sd, suffering from a
severe wound on the side or the head,
has been found through the efforts of
Coroner Loop and Sheriff Bradbury.
AT the time of his death the coro-
ner had two photographs taken Of
deceased and it was through these
that his identity was established. 1t
was reported at the time of his death
that his name was Fred Barney; but
this was erroneous, as his name was
Thomas p. Culp, whose parents re-
side at Thompson, Montana.
The following letter was received
from the boys mother on Wednesday,:
THOMPSON, MONTANA,
November 9th, 1899.
To TIE SHERIFF OF KooTENAI
COUNTY, Rathdrum, Idaho.
MY DEAR FRIEND:
From DR.. M.
II. Loop, coroner at Hope, we learned
of the supposed murder Of our son,
Thomas p. Cup, at the Great North
ern depot of Standpoint, October 3D.
Poor boy! He was on his way to
Libby, where his brother, G. w. Culp
resides. God grant that you will
soon find the guilty parties and bring
them to justice.
Please accept our many thanks to
you officers of the law for your kind
ness to him while he lived. Also to
the minister and brave soldier boys
who olliciated at his funeral. Will
you plaase inform them through the
columns of your county paper OF our
lasting gratitude viii you please
mark his grave. His brothers will
soon purchase a tombstone to be sent
To you. as we have concluded to let
him rest with you, kind friends.
Our dear boy had 10 bad habits and
had he lived 1t was his intention to
some day join the U. s. Navy.
Very Respectfully Yours,
Mrs ID. w. GULF.
The body of this unfortunate young
man was found at the Great North
ern depot at Standpoint on the morn,
ing Of October Sd, lying on bed OF
cinders, badly scalded on the left leg
| He was taken to the section house
where restoratives were used to re-
vive him, but to no avail.
1t was supposed at the time that he
was overcome by gas from the cinders
| On the following evening he was SEM
to the county hospital here where tn,
| true cause of his unconsciousness wa.
ascerLained. DR.. Elderkin, the coun
ty physician, performed an operation
by removing a portion of the frac
| lured Scull, but the patient never re
| covered consciousness, dlelng the fol
lowing day. He was buried by Com
pany Il, Idaho National Guards. as
sisted by several kind ladies, who
rendered hymns at the grave.
A coroner's jury impaneled to as
certain the cause of death, after hav
ing been in session several days, rem
dered a verdict to the effect that de
ceased met his death from blow or
the head by some blunt instrument il
the hands of unknown parties. Mucf
secret work has been done on the cast
but the results are not made public
by the officers making it. No doub

TUESDAYS ELECTION.


feel encouraged at the result Of
Tuesdays election in the eastern
and middle states. Elections were
held in eleven states but the in
terest seemed conferred on Ohio,
Maryland, Nebraska and Kentucky
where almost full state tickets were
elected, and national issues were
made predominant by the oppos-
ing parties. Maryland, which has
been republican since 1896 elected
its entire democratic ticket by II, :
900 majority. Kentucky is re-
claimed by the democrats by a
small majority. Although the
fight there was largely on local
issues, yet the national issues
were entered into largely on the
selection of members of the legis
lature. Ex-senator Blackburn,
an ardent silver advocate and a
warm personal friend of w. ].
Bryan, having been endorsed by
the state convention, will be elect
ed to succeed Senator Lindsay, a
gold democrat.
In Nebraska, which has been
over run with republican speakers,
in the hope of diverting that state
from the Bryan column, the fusion
forces polled much larger vote
than in 1896. The enormous corn
crop did not seem to blind the
farmer to the gross blunders of the
present administration as was ex-
pected. Although it is practically
settled that Bryan will be selected
as the democratic standard bearer
in 1900, the splendid victory in
Nebraska will be the means OF
making his nomination practically
by reclamation.
The republican victory in Ohio
Ohio affords the victors but little
encouragement. 1t is ten years
since Ohio was carried by the
democrats. They elected their
candidate for governor in 1899
but since that time the state has
been steadily republican. The
pluralities since 1893 have been
large, the smallest being 2S, los,
when Governor Bushnell was
elected for the second time. AT
other elections the republican plu-
ralities ranged from 47.4o7 to 1877
o87. This year Nash's plurality
over Mclean is less than 10000;
while Jones, the independent can
didate for governor, polled 100, 900
the majority of which came from
democrats. Both Jones and Nc
Lean opposed the policy of Nc
kinley toward the Philippine is
lands, and their combined vote
would have defeated Nash, the re-
publican nominee, by more than
so, 900, so Mckinley and his fol
lowers can take but little Consola-.
ton out of the victory there.
In New Jersey, the home of the
trusts, the republicans scored a
sweeping victory. Where cleo
tons were held in western states
the democrats made big gains.
This is significant, especially in
San Francisco, where the demo-
cratic majority on mayor reached
o5er 1000. If the election is
criterion as to the endorsement of
the policy of President Mckinley
and Mark Hanna, one who favors
trusts at home, the other, trusts
abroad, the administration receiv-
ed a severe rebuke.

GR'GG'S VIEW
RUmOrS Regarding His Opinion OF the
Carter Case.

washington, Sept. 22.-Persistept
rumors are afioat that the attorney
general has made up his mind in the
Carter case, and will recommend 10
the president that the findings Of the
court martial be sustained. These
reports, while insistent, do not agree
with the attorney generals statement
that he would net pass final judgment
in the case until he had given Mr..
Wayne MacVeagh, Captain Carriers
counsel, another hearing. 1t is sug-
gested, however. that the. reports may
have come from the attorney general
having gone through the. evidence and
found enough to satisfy him, at this
stage, of the guilt OF the accused off,
Ger.
Captain Carter's friends are stren-
uous in thair insistence of his inno-
cence, and still refuse to believe that
the reviewing authority will hold him
guilty. They say thsy are firmly Of
the belief that the rumors are false,
and that the attorney general will
sustain thsl contentious of the Carter
counsel.

the trans-Siberian railroad. Mr.. Mon
aghan says that this vast territory is
destined % be one of the worlds rich
est and most productive sections. It
is particularly well adapted to the
growing of wheat and other cereals,
and since the building of the trans
Siberian road wheat from this region
has already found its way to the Eu-
rcFcan market. At present the re-
sources of this region are largely un-
developed, and must remain so for
some years. as the population is as yet
very sparse, there being less than one
inhabitant to each square mile. I'm
migration from European Russia is
setting in, f.0wever, and 100000 per-
sons entered the region last year.
Mr.. Mona CHAN says:
Siberia and the Amur country pos
sess advantages very similar to those
of Ncrth America, Australia and parts
of Africa. The great gain to Russia
At present in developing Siberia is the
guaranty that her harvests will come
nearer to supplying her wheat needs"

LONDON PREPARATION.

London, Sept. pa council was
held today, beginning at 80. A large
crowd assembled about Downing street
early in the day. The impression cur
rent. Though not based upon anything
tangible, was that publicly the cabinet
would only take steps tending to pro-
tect negotiations, while secretly it
would prepare the details of an ag-
gressiye campaign, perhaps deciding to
convoke parliament.
The cabiret meeting ended at
2:4O p. m. The ministers were
cheered as they came out. Moth
ing trnnspired regarding the action
taken, though the general impression
spread that vigorous line had been
adopted.
No active steps will be taken to send
an army corps to South Africa, but
preparations CT 4 general kind will
continue quicLly for tie dispatch Of a
large army under General Sir Redvers
