Not being public speaker I'M
der any circumstances, and an

cially formidable, l fear that the
few faltering words that l uttered
in response to Mr.. Brady's elo-
quent and touching presentation
of your most beautiful gift, must
have seemed woefully lacking in
appreciation.
wish that you could only know
with what covetous eyes used to
gaze upon an officers sword, and
think that possibly l might some
day have the proud distinction of
wearing one myself, SO that you
could appreciate my feelings in
regard to the matter.
assure you that it is gift that
| appreciate above anything else
that could have have been given
me, and one that l shall cherish
as long as my life shall be
spared.
l hope that the white robed
angel of peace will soon again
resume her scepter, and that
those sons who so nobly re-
sponded to their country's call in
her hour of need will be returned
to home and loved ones. But if fate
has decreed that shall again enter
the active service of my country, l
trust that shall never be guilty
Of any act that will bring disgrace
upon this beautiful sword of mine
and yours, nor of any act that
will ever cause you to regret hav-
ing treated me with such marked
honor. And for your innumerable
acts of kindness, and for your

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

Lieutenant Frank A. Mccall, Of
the First Idaho volunteers, met
with an agreeable surprise Satur-
day evening, he being presented
with handsome sword by his
many friends. He has been here
about ten days visiting friends,
having left his company at Manila
on March 20, on account of
Sc ,ere wound he received in the
battle taught with the insurgents
on February S.
The ceremony of presentation
was as informal as possible, per
hitting the participation of so
large number Of people. About
7 O'Clock there was firing Of an
wills, and the citizens OF the town
gathered around the flag pole in
the court house yard from which
floated the city flag.
Lieutenant Mccall was escorted
to the scene by w. ]. Jordan and
]. c. Davis and as he came into
view choir of singers, led by a
coronet, sang "Hail Columbia I"
and other patriotic songs.
Editor ]. c. Brady made the
presentation in very happy little
speech. Lieutenant Mccall was
SO overcome with emotion and
surprise that he could hardly ex-
press his thanks.
After the presentation the young
people gathered at Harris hall,
where ball was given in honor OF
the occasion.
The Lieutenant was a teacher
in the Rathdrum public school
when the call for volunteers came,
and resigned his position to enlist
as private.

BURGLARS IN RATHDRUM.
They Blow Open the PostofPee Safe
with Powder and Carry off
Its Contents.
MONEY AND STAMPS TAKEN.

On Monday night burglars broke
into the postoffice building and blew
open the safe, taking therefrOm
money aud stamps to the amount of
nearly 5000.
When Postmaster Yost, who lives
in the Russell block, came down at
$40 to make up the mails for the
early morning trains, he was as
founded to lind the door of the safe
standing wide open and sacks Of
-four strewn around on the floor. A
hasty examination showed that 1t
had been blown open with powder.
A hole had been drilled about IN the
center OF the side of the safe, facing
the window which looks out upon the
street. A piece Of fuse some or 10
inches in length yet remains in the
hole, held there by the tamping.
The discharge merely blew out the
bolts Of the lock, which holds the
safe door when locked, doing no
damage To the tumblers of the
lock or the lock itself. The hole was
drilled in just the right spot to do
this work, and must have been done
by men familiar with the construc-
ton OF safes, or at least experienced
10 the cracking of them. A novice
would have drilled the hole near the
lock Itself and perhaps failed To have
opened the door. Five SO pound and
three 10 pound sacks of flour xere
piled around the safe to deaden the
repurt. The interior drawers, which
were also locked were wrenched from
their light wooden frame work, and
one drawer was carried away.
About $l75 in money, $50 10
stamps Of the denominations above
the twO-cent and one registered letter
was taken. A large roll of one and
twO-cent stamps, OF nearly $500
value was left.
Nothing from the store, which Is
Ia the same room with the postotfice,
was taken, although some valuable
solid gold jewelry was carried In
stock by Mr.. Yost.
Entry was made through rear
window. 1t is supposed the safe was
blown open at about 3 o'clack IA. IN.
or just before the morning freight
was due. Mrs. Williams, who lives
in the adjoining house, which is
separated from the pOstotfice room by
but thin walls, says she was
awakened by hearing some one NOV
ins around 10 the postotflce room but
though nothing OF it until she heard
the explosion. She was alone with
small children, and was 50 badly
frightened and nervous that she
could not leave the house to give the
alarm.
Immediately upon the discovery,
Mr.. YOSt wired the chief of police
at Spokane, the postotfice depart
ment and Sheriff Bradbury.
1t was reported suspects were ar
rested at Hope but on investigation
it was found that this was not
true.

The enormous increase in the num-
Der of letters carried in the U. S.
mails makes 1t certain that the rate
Of postage must eventually be reduced
to once cent an ounce. The presi-
dent who succeeds in getting such Il
measure through congress will hold a
high place In the esteem of the people
but no higher than the esteem in
which everybody holds Hostetter

an uncqualled record in reducing the

THE court Of inquiry investiga-
ting the charge of General Miles
that beef furnished the army in
Cuba was unfit for food has rem
dered its report and the same has
been approved by the president.
The findings are that General
Miles's charges have not been sus-
aimed that the packing COM
panies are injured and abused and
vilified patriotic gentlemen. The
president censures both Eagan
and Miles and the administration
smilingly washes its hands of the
whole shameful affair. Not so
the people. The press Of the
country has placed before the
people every word of evidence
presented to the court of inquiry.
They know that the charges have
been more than substantiated.
They know now the damnable
truth. They know that the pack
ing companies canned the rotten
scrapings of the packing house
and through the aid of an inef-
ficient commissary officer know
ingly and Willingly foisted the
vile stuff upon the soldier. For
the few paltry dollars there
was in it they poisoned the
men who went forth to avenge
the Maine. No whitewash can
hide the graves of those who went
forth to battle at their country's
call and met a miserable death,
not at the hands of the Spaniard,
but at the hands of the unctious
gentlemen who can rotten roast
beef.

SEARCH FOR TREASu RE.

Within a recent period-about tweAty
years ago-a capable but credulous man
after obtaining what he designated ~
inside information, declared his belief
that Capt. Kidd had buried a vast
amount Of treasure in box, which
laid at the bottom OF the Hudson
river at a spot two miles above West
Point. He organized company, ana
among the subscribers to the stock
were a number OF business men, and
small traders. He did not ask for large
subscriptions, but suggested that a
small investment would not ruin the
investor IL the scheme failed, and II
1t succeeded, the returns might be enor
NOUS. He obtained the sum of 100000.
The river was dragged by machinery
especially constructed for the purpose,
and divers were employed to walk the
bottom OF the river. Many months
were spent in searching for the treas
ure. but nothing but old junk was
brought up. The promoter Of the
scheme had an abiding faith that the
treasure was In existence. he employ
ed fortune tellers. astro,ogers, and
ciairvoyants. Not one of Them told him
that the treasure did MT exist. All de-
clared that 1t did. On, noted cairvoy-
ant, on receiving an extra fee, under
took to visit the right SPOT, and point
1t out. But he, having received his
fee In advance, got drunk while in the
bOat inspecting the river, and told the
promoter that II the gold was discoy-
cred, 1t would belong TO the people
whom Capt. Kidd had robbed. This
comment resulted in fight, and the
clairvoyant swan ashore. After the
money OF the Capt. Kidd syndicate
was spent, NEARLY all of the investors
declined to admit that they had any
Interest in the undertaking. One of
them, however, a farmer, brought suit
70 recover the money he had paid to
the promoter. The case was tried be-
fore q Justice OF the Peace. The old
farmer told the court that he allow
ed" that Capt. Kids money was
"sOmewhar' in the river. but he be-
lieved that the promoter had found
h. and was keeping the matter So
cret, and he wanted the Justice to make
him show up. The Justice held that
the crime charged was the concealing
1t Information and he could not hold
the prisoner on that ground, and dis
charged him. The promoter informed
the writer that he had promoted" a
number OF schemes for discovering
kdd's treasure buried, as he believed
An several places on the Atlantic coast
He never found 1t.
