In Memory Of Pills.

H. II. Bateman has received the fol.
owing ode on the death of Pills:
One by one our loved ones leave us,
One by one like leaves they fall,
And one more-our darling Pills
Has answered the Masters call
Darling Pills thou hast left me,
Thy sweet face I'll see no more,
But we hope to meet hereafter
On that bright and happy shore.
Thou hast left me sad and lonely,
And M comfort can find
For the love that's buried with thee
'Mong the people of mankind.
Bateman, Widlund, do not weep so,
DR.. Winslow dry your eyes,
For dear Pills is safe forever
In his hone beyond the skies.

The New Land OF Gold.

Yes, Idaho's turn has come at last.
For years she has lain dormant watt
ing, waiting. The turn has been
called, 'sthe clock has struck" the
change has come.
The extension of the Northern
Pacifc's Spokane-Palouse branch to
Lewiston, and further extensions, the
present season, from Lewiston up
Lapwai Greek and UP the Clearwater
River into the heart of the old Nez
Perez reservation are working
wonders. And along with this era of
rail way expansion. comes the wonder
full discovery of gold in the Buffalo
Hump country. Here, where forty
years ago the placer mines yield $780,
600, 600, SO the authorities tells us,
now are discovered the most stipend
Gus quartz lodges over known. Be
tween Florence and Elk City, Grange
vile and the Salmon River, the prob.
abilities are that Klondike will be
outdone.
Then too. the farmer and ranchman
has his chance. Between Lewiston
and the Hump lies II fruit and grain
region famous around Idaho. The
Cold Springs aud Canas Prairie
lands can't be beat. AS q fruit and
grain country this region beats Cali
fornia, and now that new mining
camps furnish good and nearby
markets and transportation facilities
are as much improved, the farmer will
find these acres to be as rich mines OF
gold to him as the quartz lodges are
to the miner So everybody has a
chance here, to make good turn.
Send two cents to Chas. s. Fee, St.
Panl, Mimi, or to any General Or
District Passenger Agent or the
Northern Pacific Railway for the new
Buffalo Hump folder. It describes all
this region. 1t has a large and up-to-
date map in colors.

THOSE curb-stone politicians in this
State who have endeavored to dispar.
age the ability and weaken the influ.
ence OF Col. James Hamilton Lewis,
must admit the humiliation of utter
defeat when they are brought to real
ization that his utterances command
the respect of the ablest men in Eng.
land as we'll as OF this country. While
in London last week, representing a
$40, 100000 claim of the Atlin miners,
the cable announces that he delivered
an address before an immense audience
on matters of international comfy.
If there ever lived a man whose intel
lectual endowments entitled him to
the term Little GIANT" it is the ex-
Representative OF this State in the 55th
Congress, James Hamilton Lewis. The
shafts OF envy and malice hurled at
him are like arrows aimed at the sun.
They not only fall short of the distance
but wide of the mark. His spiteful
foes will doubtless in the course OF
time realize this fact and cease their
ridiculous efforts.

It's Ruling Passion.


In Saturdays issue of the Tacoma
Ledger appeared the following bit OF
news from Washington:
"Senator Foster called upon the Sec
rotary OF the Interior and protested
against the recent order OF the Depart
ment prohibiting sheep grazing within
the limits of Rainier reservation"
After the papers had been printed, it
was discovered, o horrors! that the
vile name of 4" Rainier" had not been
stricken from the telegraphic copy
and noble Tacoma" substituted.
Well, something had to be done and
this was the manner of procedure.
The next morning Sunday, the dis.
patch was reinserted in this slightly
metamorphosed form:
"Senator Foster called upon the Sec
rotary OF the Interior and protested
against the recent order of the Depart
ment prohibiting sheep grazing within
the limits of Mount Tacoma National
Park"
That OF course mended the matter,
but it demonstrated most clearly the
narrow, contracted, peevish mind
which controls q would-be influential
city paper.

DEATH OF CAPT. McMlCKEN.
He Died Full Of Years and Earthly Honors

The death of Capt. William Nc.
Mickep, about s 80 o'clock Saturday
night, cast gloom over the commun.
ity where he is known so we'll and it
may be said that every city and ham,
let in the State shared in the sorrow
as the tidings spread. Deceased was q
man held in universal esteem, by all
classes and conditions OF men. To
know him was to respect and admire
him; none named him but in praise.
The immediate cause of death was q
malignant gangrenous tumor, called a
carbuncle, or andrax, which appeared
on the cords OF his neck about two
months ago, and increased in size and
virulence until an operation was per-
formed in the forlorn hope that its re-
moval would save his life. His sys.
tenn could not stand the ordeal, how.
ever, and he did not rally from the
prostration.
William McMicken was born in
Youngstown, Niagara county, New
York, January l, 1927, and was conse-
quently in his seventy-third year at
the time of his death. In 1886 with
his parents he removed to Medina
county, Ohio. He was educated in
the schools of Ohio, and with his ia
Their learned the profession of engi-
neering and with an uncle the trade
of cabinet-making. In 1S47 he left
home and went to Wisconsin,, where
he engaged in the manufacture of
farm machinery. In 1854 he went to
Missouri, where he resided until the
breaking out of the war. He then
aided in recruiting q company in
Dodge county, NO., and was commits.
stoned first lieutenant of the company.
In 1863 he was promoted to the rank
of captain. He served under Gener-
ais Schofield, Rosecrans and Thomas,
until 1864 his regiment being sent to
the department of the Gulf. After
the close of the war Captain Nc
Micken was appointed internal reve-
nue. collector in Minnesota. This po-
sition he filled for six years. Owing
to ill-health in 1871 he resigned and
sought the moro equable climate of
Washington. His first employment
in the then Territory was as an engi-
neer with the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company. In 1871 he was ap-
pointed by General Grant as United
States Surveyor General of the Terri
tory OF Washington. He was reap
pointed by President Hayes and again
by President Arthur, serving continu-
ously for IA years. During his term
OF Office the San Juan islands contro-
versy was settled and in this settle
ment he bore no small part. In 1886
Captain McMicken retired from the
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1899-09-15
A Moribund Nation.

In prosecuting the late farcical trial
against Captain Dreyfus and browning
the whole by an unrighteous verdict,
France has written her ante m,oriem
epitaph, and is now in the throes Of q
slow moral and political death. Drey-
fus will. in all probability, be par
doned, but that forced act of mere
prudential policy will never remove
the stigma resting upon the escutch-
con OF the French court. martial which
has just concluded most inglorious
session. In condemning Dreyfus, be-
cause he was jew, France has con-
demned herself to eternal ignominy
and shame in the eyes of the civilized
and enlightened world. In making
that brave officer their scape-goat,
they have enveloped themselves in a
cloak of infamy that is visible to the
whole enlightened world. And the
responsibility rests upon the nation
as we'll, and France stands to-day an
outlaw before the tribunal of interna-
tional justice.
This is not, however, surprising
when we reflect that modern Gaul be-
longs to n trio of incompetent Latin
States-France, Italy and Spain.
One European journal, in comment
ing upon the Dreyfus outrage de.
clares that France has been relegated
to the level OF Spain by that act. 1t
is certain, at least, that she has been
found so utterly wanting in national
integrity that she is no longer worthy
OF being classed with the earth's great
powers.
