ing the strikes made in that local
ity by French Pete and others.
The opening of the Palace vaud
eville theatre last night was a
grand success, and the performance
given was far above the average.
The enterprising management de-
serves great encouragement fol-
livening up the city by the intro
duction of metropolitan features.
A. J. Simpson and Terrence
Hughes, both from Cripple Creek,
are in town making arrangements
to go on prospecting trip into tn
Salmon river country preparatory
to going into the Hump. They de-
clare that Cripple Creek is almost
deserted by reason of the migration

Old timers here and in Warren
will regret to hear of the death Of
Tucker" the big, fat brown dog
owned by James Edwards, and
who had been member Of the
family for IA years. The old fell
low turned up his toes to the da-
sizes last Saturday without strug
gle and was given the decent in
terment BETTING faithful friend.

Clelland store building and the lat

Martial law in Shoshone county
may be odious to the people living
there, but they have brought it up
on themselves and they will have to
endure it just as long as they toll
crate the actions of the dynamite
gang. There is no excuse for the
wanton destruction of property and
reckless waste of human life which
has occurred in the Cnur d Alenes
in the past decade.
4 couple of drummers drove in
with private rig. One represents
Spokane fruit and produce firm,
and the other groceries. They
made the trip by way of Nez

it in Grangeville. This is prob.
ably due to the fact that Grange
vile merchants have been busy
stocking up all winter, and just at
present are not taking any, thank
you.
4 Frank Sherwood arrived on the
stage from Lewiston last night Ell
route to the Hump. He is inter-
. ested in much mining propert,

| The object of trusts is to raise
prices and reduce the expenses Of
production. In this way the con-
sumner will be caught coming and
going. If the trust idea gets into
general practice the worker will be
between the devil aud the deep
blue sea. Wages will be pressed
down while the value of the neces-
saries of life is pressed up. After
a while the man of ordinary means
will not be able TO breathe without
having first to pay tribute in some
form to excessive capitalization
and greedy manipulation.
+. +. Adams, of Seattle, and
formerly of San Diego, Cal, is in
the city. He says that the road
between Craig's mountain and
Grangeville is in a frightful condi-
ton. He passed number of
freight teams stuck hopelessly in
the mud waiting for other teams to
