clined TO assume the responsibility ON
the ground that II would hurt his busl-
ness. General Lee then went to the
British representative, professional
diplomat, and lie, OF course, accepted
the trust as high honor to his coun-
try.
The Berlin foreign Office heard of the
matter some time afterward In n
roundabout way, as the story goes. It
was intensely mortified. but 1t was
then too late to make an explanation
General Lee, of course, Informed the
secretary Of state of the rebuff he had
received at the hands OF the German
representative. AS no explanation was
received from the banks of the Spree,
1t was assumed the consul acted under
instructions, and his refusal to accept
an office which international courtesy

upon as an intentional slight.
The diplomat went on to say lie at
tributed the miserable squabbles Of the
last two years largely to the blunder Of
the egotistic consul. Had Germany un-
dertaken to watch over American in
terests in Cuba diplomatic entente
would likely have ensued which would
have dlssipated the suspicion she was
plotting to interfere. Admiral Dewey
would probably have had no ground to
believe Admiral Dlederichs wanted to
shy his castor into the ring, public
opinion in Germany would have been
moderated and Admiral Kautz would
not have been called upon to show his
teeth to the captain Of the Fake, for
there would have been no quarrel be-
tween the English and Americans on
the one hand and the Germans on the
other at Samoa. Such at least is the
opinion of the diplomat who told the
story, and 1t is true story.

After Being Twice Mated
With Young Loves,
He Planned an EIopement With
a Third.
Exploits Of a Former Akron Man
In Jail Now.

Henry Chick, aged A, was arrested
at North Lawrence charged with
adultery, pleaded guilty, was fined
300 and the costs, and sentenced to
DO days in the Canton work house.
Two weeks ago Chick got off a
train at North Lawrence, accompan-
led by q woman, aged 81, and an
eight-months' old babe. The woman
was the wife of Mr.. Endfield of Mt.
Pleasant, Pa. She is the mother of
two children.
According to testimony developing
at the trial, Chick, until within the
last two years, had lived in Akron.
It was here that his first wife, whom
he had married while quite young at
Uniontown, Pa, was divorced from
him, returning with her four child
rem to Pennsylvania.
In November, 1883, CHICK mat Miss
Mary A. Myers, aged 20, at Massil-
Ion, and after y few weeks acquain-
tance was married to her at Dalton.
In the following February the sec
ond wife, who had been married at
the age Of IA to Norwalk young
man, abandoned her newly-made
husband, Chick, and returned to the
parental home.
Chick then returned to Pennsyl-
vania, was given a good home by
Mr.. Endfleld, but abused his hospi-
tality by eloping with his wife.

Routes to the Hump.

The competition between the
two routes to the Buffalo Hump

The more thoroughly the matter

as well as drawbacks to be encoun-

either.

When Aguinaldo's followers
fired their rifles at the Ameri.
can soldiers they shot German
bullets, bought with German
money. When the field artil.
lery of the rebel chieftain was
used, Spanish soldiers served
German guns with German
ammunition. Germany and
Spain are legally, as well as
morally, responsible for the
death OF about sixty American
soldiers and two or three thous.
and natives.
If Aguinaldo had been sue.
cessful in his assault on the
American lines Germany
wonld now be intervening on
the ground that the United
States was powerless to pre-
serve order and to protect
German interests.

According to a recent dis.
patch the President has caused
to be promulgated the sentence
in the case of ex.Commissary-
General John Egan. The
court martial's sentence was
dismissal from the army and
the president has committed
this to a six years suspension
from duty, which covers the
remainder of the time prior to
Egan's retirement in 1909.
The presence of a powerful
pull is very evident here. If
cuspidor Egan got his deserts
he would be drummed out of
the ranks, imprisoned for life
and fed on the filthy embalm-
ed beef he supplied to the gal.
liant boys who were defending
their country's flag. His
abominable abuse of the vcter.
an soldier General Miles be.
cause the latter did his duty
without fear or favor is a dis.
grace to the country and the

THE PAST--THE FUTURE.

The arbitrary demonetiz
alton of silver by the United
States congress and the conse
quent drop in silver having
cut all property values in hall
has turned the attention OF
mining men instinctively to.
wards gold mining as a means
of restoring the supply of pri.
mary money of redemption by
increasing the output of gold.
The decentralization of silver,
therefore, is a blessing to Idaho
county, simply because her
great mining belts are gold
producers; and with the ad.
vent of one, and perhaps two
lines of railroad, every gold
camp in this great county will
be made productive where, in
the past, they could not reach
the expense mark required to
carry on development work.
With these encouragements
not only the newly discovered
districts, but old and we'll
known camps where gold
quartz mining has been carried
on in a more or less desultory
manner for many years, will
be able to proceed with pros.
pecting and development oper-
ations. The arrival of the
railroad in Grangeville, by
cheapening transportation and
supplies of all kinds will enable
owners of prospects all over
the county, where they can
show values of So gold per ton,
to open up their prospects and
place them in shape for invest.
igation to the satisfaction of
the host of investors who are
cooking for gold propositions.
Idaho county has for many
years been practically un.
known to the mining world,

'ast produced a hundred mil.
ions of placer gold from the
