danger of the Northern Pacific or

capitalists can build road of their
own" That's what the Boise papers
said Is years ago, and the Short
Line went by them. Now the
capital city is engaged in the her
eulanean task of raising quarter
of a million to get the road changed.
Grangeville ought to profit by this
experience and get a road while it
can.

general of General Buffers army. Good
flour Is worth about 81 barrel at whole
sale. But a little item Ike 100000 for
flour would not make Sir Michael futter
an eyelid.
The British system of national fnan-
ciering is beautifully simple when you
look at it brsadly. Each year there is
submitted to parliament an estimate OF
what the expenses OF the. various depart
ments will be for the coming year. This
is called the budget Then the annual
revenues are figured up and compared
with the sum total Of the budget. Ii the
sum named in the budget is larger than
that footed up by the revenues, then one
of two things must be done-either the
budget must be pared down or the rev
enues increased
In the case of war the extra expenses
are taken from the revenues as needed.
The deficiency is supplied from the re-
serve fund. The matter Of making good
the reserve fund can be put over until
the war has been finished. Thus the pa
triotism of the people is not disturbed by
war tax. That comes afterward. 1t
may be ten years before the British peo-
pie make the last settlement for the cam
paign now going on against the Beers.
la the end there may be an additional
penny put on the income tax and perhaps
a little rise in the import rates. But
there Is popular idea that the gold
mines OF the Transvaal. which have made
the Boer republic so rich in resources,
will eventually pay the bulk of the ex-
penses of the war. Every Briton expects
that within a few months all the riches
Of the Rand viii become part and parcel
of the empire.
The man who is paying the war bills,
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, is probably
the least known of any English official.
He is retiring by disposition, never sub
mits to an interview and his only well
known characteristic IS tendency to
wear wretchedly cut clothes. While par
liament is sitting he may be In his Office
In the treasury building in Whitehall
twice week When parliament Is not
in session, he is seldom there at all, but
either at his London house or his country
place, Netherhaven House, in Salisbury,
where he manages to keep two alert pri-
vate secretaries fearfully busy, and has
another stationed at the treasury to have
an eye on things there.
The chancellor has only recently re-
covered from a serious illness that was
bothering him just about the time when
the necessity Of spending $50,000000 in
killing people made its appearance, and
the questions which are fred at him sew
eral dozen times a day are alone enough
to drive nervous man distracted, but
Sir Michael Hicks Beach is not, if treas
ury people are to be believed, at all ruff
fed by his sense OF responsibility--cool-
ness always has been one of his charac-
teristics-but goes on from day to day
signing for transports and re-enforce-
ments and ammunition and mules with
the week.

In the testimony given before the Cor

unknown cause the instrument In Mr..
Giesek's hands turned and the wad and

The INJURY was at first thought to be
trivial but next day Qast Monday Mr..
Deason's hip began to swell, and he diei

showmen picked up about 100 miles
above Baton Rouge, with the under
standing that the woman should do the
cooking and the man help him with the
show. When the houseboat left Devils
Landing in April, Alderman was alive
and we'll, and Jocko was in high spirits.
When it tied up at the next landing,
Ackerinan was missing and Jocko was a
changed creature This behavior of the
monkey gave rise to grave suspicious,
which were strengthened by the contra
dictoIy stories told by the STAIRS and the
continued absence Of Ackerman
In a corner or the houseboat was found
a blood stained Ak. Professor Desson Of
the Louisiana State university submitted
it to chemical examination and said that
the blood was probably human. He came
to the same decision concerning stains
found in the skiH that WAS towed behind
the houseboat Ali this was told in court
when the STAIRS appeared for trial.
But the chief witness was Jocko. He
had been kept in a cell at the parish jail,
like any human witness. and when he
was brought into court in his scarlet coat
and cap the prisoners quailed. Jocko ut
tered q scream of rage and would have
leaped upon them if the sheriff men had
not held him In restraint.
That decided the jury. Slender as the

and brought IN a verdict Of guilty" 7"

Moilie MAGNETISM in the anthracite
coal regions Of Pennsylvania has been
dead since 1876, but in its stead has been
implanted from the other side of the At

izing, as heartless and as lawless as were
the Moliie Maguires. Indeed the acts of
the murderous organization which today
infests the anthracite coal fields of Penn
sylvania are even more heartless than
were those OF its more famous predeces-
sors, says correspondent Of the New
