The Standard Mining Company of
Wallace, Idaho, paid its monthly divi-
dend last week, amounting this time
20 $4,000. This makes a total paid in
dividends by this company to date of
$1,745,000. The company is operated
as a close corporation, and this is the
first time a statement of the amount
of it's dividends has ever been given
to the public, but it comes from a
source which leaves no doubt of its
correctness.
This shows that in the amount of its
dividends the Standard is the second
mine in Idaho being surpass d only
by the De Lamar, which paid $2.29O,-
600 up to May, 1898.

r. E. Condor, a railroad contractor of
Chicago arrived at the Hotel Stevens yes
terday from Honolulu, where he has been
on matters concerning, his business. He
says there Is regular railroad boom in
the islands, and much building will be done
within the next year.
Thomas L. and Albert Johnson" he
said in an Interview, ''of Cleveland, O.,
building several lines of electric roads in
Honolulu and at other places throughout
the island of Oahu. An Eastern syndicate
Is behind the scheme, which will include
the operation of ferry boats between the
various islands, The work on the inland
roads will be begun about February /.
"The Kohala & Hilo Railway Company
will let contracts within few weeks for
its electric road from Honolulu, which
when complete will have cost about $780,
600. The line will be about $50 miles IN
length.
in Honolulu promises to be very large
one, and ] was surprised to find there is
big demand for Washington fir. The
business there Is all handled by three
firms, each supplied with abundant cap
ital to freeze out any fourth party who at
tempts to gain an entrance to the mar
kets.
'It is safe to say that the imports of
lumber to Honolulu from the United States
this year will amount to over $1,000
and of this amount probably two-thirds
comes from the state of Washington. In
1898 the imports, am told, were less than
half million dollars, so that the annex
alton of the islands has resulted in some
good to the Pacific coast"

The coroner's jury impaneled yesterday
to investigate the cause of the death OK
Oscar Brandt, the highwayman killed by
X. b. Matterson Thursday night while
trying to hold up Ballard electric car.
returned verdict that the shooting Of
Brandt by Matterson was both 1ustihable
and commendable.
But one new fact was ELECTED at the In
quest. That was statement Of Motor
man H. Vandercook. who gave It ~ his
positive opinion that the dead man was
one of the men who SIX weeks ago held
UP the same car in almost the same spot
and robbed the passengers vandercook
admits that upon both occasions the high
waymen were masked. but IL mistaken in
his opinion.
r. B. Matterson, the nervy individual
who fought duel to death with the high
wayman. was naturally the most notable
figure at the inquest. He gave his testi-
mony clearly, and In no detail did he vary
from his Interview in the Post-Intelligen-
Ger yesterday morning. He told q concise
story of the whole transaction. and his
manner Of telling 1t and his clear recollec-
ton Of everything that transpired. demon
strated that he had been remarkably cool
under trying circumstances.
The other witnesses were Motorman
vandercook, Detective Powers, Conductor
Ferguson and DR.. w. st. John Downey.
Dr. DOWneyS teStlInOHy was Important ia
that It established beyond doubt the slight
ly disputed question as TO whether the
dead man Is the one who had the duel with
Matterson or the one whom Charles E.
Plimpton shot at on the inside OF the car.
DR.. Downey performed the autopsy on
Brandt's body.
EVERY bullet hole in the body" he tes-
titled, ranged downward. The dead man
was hit three times. One bullet entered
his heart another his face, and the third
his hand. The bullet in the breast came
out at a point about even with where. It
had entered. This IL due to the fact that
1t struck q rib and was DETECTED slightly
upwards"
Under the developments at the autopsy
the police say there IL no question as to
who shot Brandt Matterson, they claim,
was standing higher up than his target.
while Plimpton was in crouching posi-
ton, shooting upwards. Matterson's bull
let's would naturally have downward
course.
Piimpton, who was wounded by the Sec
ond bandit, was not able to be present at
the inquest yesterday. He Is still confined
in the hospital, but the attending physician
states that he will be out in a few days.
Members of the police force secured the
country surrounding the scene of the fatal
ity thoroughly yesterday, but were unable
to find any trace of the second highway
man. 1t Is believed that Plimpton wound-
ed him, and that he is being cared for in
some of the shacks near Ballard.

CoLoRED PEOPLE AROUSED.
Protest Against Chief of Police
Reeds Recent Pickpocket Order.

About seventy-five colored men assem-
bled In the African Methodist church last
night for the purpose Of holding mass
meeting to protest against the recent or
der of Chief of Police Reed for the arrest
of colored women suspected of being pick
pockets Rev. e. Halford presided.
Speeches denunciatory of Chiefs Reeds
order were made by ]. e. Hawkins. Erv-
ing Welburn and DR.. Prestol Mr.. Hawk
ms spoke in rather temperate vein, but
the other two die. not. Mr.. welburn's
speech was couched in particularly strong
language. and during one fight Of elo-
quence he declared that Chief Reed was
worse butcher than Weyler, of SPAIN"
According to the treatment which peo-
pie of our race are receiving in this city,"
acclaimed Mr.. Welburn, IT wouldn't be
surprised any morning to wake up and
find Que of our number hanging to that
totem pole in the square. Gentlemen, we
have begged for mercy for thirty-five
years, and it's time to quit begging. The
time Is ripe for action"
Mr. Hawkins, in his speech, charged that
colored women imprisoned in the city Jail
had been mistreated and neglected. One
woman, he said, had become so Ill in a
dark and damp cell that 1t was necessary
to remove her to the hospital.
After the speechmaking was over set
of resolutions denouncing Chief Reeds Of
der was adopted. The resolutions cited
that the order was too broad, and gave
policemen too wide latitude.

filed yesterday morning on behalf Of the
women by Attorneys j. e. Hawkins and
John F. Dore. The petitions contained the
customary allegations that the petition
ers were being imprisoned without author
ity of law, and further alleged that they
were being oppressed on account Of their
color and held in default of ball five times
greater than would be required of white
women charged with similar crimes. The
fact that the complaints charging the wo-
men with violation of the city ordinances
had never been signed by the arresting
offcer, Patrolman Freeman, was set out
as the principal ground of the illegality
of the Imprisonment
City Attorney De Bruler demurred to
each petition. but Judge Jacobs over
ruled the demurrers and then heard the
return of the chief Of police. which was
made orally by Mr.. DeBruler, and was
to the effect that the women were being
held under legally signed complaints. The
court inquired when the complaints had
been signed. and upon ascertaining that
1t was subsequent to the application for
habeas corpus, ruled in effect that the
custody of the women was now legal, but
that the action of the chief Of police in
ordering the defect in the papers correct
ed after the application had been made
was an unwarranted act and justified the
petitioners to Judgment against him for
cos,s and attorneys fees.
Attorney Hawkins, who was present
with the three women In court, asked
Judge Jacobs to reduce the bail, but no
action was taken in this regard.
