CAvED on AND KILLED.
TAeOphile Buckle Loses His Life in
the Ira lie Dollar Mine.

Last Tuesday afternoon, while Theo.
Buckle was returning to work in the
Trade Dollar mine, he started to go
through a stope, where another miner
was working, when the miner called to
him not to come through there as it
was dangerous. Buckle held up his
light to look and exclaimed, "Yes, here
it comes" and these were the last words
he ever spoke, for rock and dirt caved
down upon him at that instant and
crushed out his life. His friend at once
gave the alarm, and it took hours to
get his mangled remains out of the
mine, when it was found that his skull
had been crushed and that death must
have been almost instantaneous.
Mr.. Buckle had attended the Miners
Union bali in Silver City the night be-
fore and been one of the jolliest of the
dancers, remaining quite late, and his
death came like shock to his many
friends. He was well known and popu-
lar both here and in Silver City. He
was Belgian by birth and came to
Idaho when boy, residing for some
time in Boise Valley and coming to De-
Lamar in 1890, where he worked in the
mine up until about three years ago.
He then went to the Black Jack mine,
where he remained until the shut down
and thence to the Trade Dollar
He was thrifty and Industrious, and,
besides life Insurance policy of 5000,
left money ana property to about the
same amount. He was a big, hearty,
CHEEKY man and made friends OF all the
miners aud business men who knew
him.
Deceased's remains were inferred at
Silver City yesterday, Rt. Rev. Bishop
Glorieux conducting the services.

ever the platform may be, Mckinley is
all right. The corporations and com
bines know their business and they

was elected on platform that declar d
for bimetalism and then handed him
self over, body and breeches, to the
silver killers; the same two-faced states
man who ran on platform pledged to
civil service reform, declaring in his
letters and speeches in favor of fully
maintaining and extending the civil
service system, and then dealt the civil
service the worst blow it ever received,
taking about 10000 offices from the
operation of the civil service rules, and
making them the presidents property.
He's the same moral curiosity who
allowed his man Griggs to nullify the
anti-canteen law passed by Congress,
and then told the temperance women
that he is firmly opposed to the canteen

A Poor Mans Chances.

1t is said nowadays that poor men
have not the chances that they once
had. There is no doubt about the fact
that the man who succeeds in the
twentieth century will have larger
ability and greater faith and stronger
purpose than had the successful man
of the nineteenth century, but it does
not follow that he will require more
money. The poor boy has ten chances
to secure the necessary educational
training to one chance offered the
poor boy of fifty years ago. The oppor-
tunity always makes the man. He can
measure up to the requirements if he
has the purpose and ability to do SO.
A well-kuown American humorist puts
the poor mans chances in very favor
able light as follows: The poor man
takes all the chances. We must curtail
his chances, and give the rich man
chance. The poor man has crowded
the rich man out. But for the poor
man, this world would have cast anchor
5000 years ago, and be covered with
moss and lichens today, like United
States man-of-war. Edgar Allen Poe
was the son of strolling player;
George Peabody was boy in small
grocery; Benjamin Franklin, the prin-
ter, was the son of tallow chandler;
John Adams was the son of a poor
farmer; Clifford, the first editor of the
Quarterly Review, was common sailor;
Ben Jonson, rare Ben Jonson, was
bricklayer; the father of Shakespeare
couldn't spell and couldn't write his
own name, neither can you; even his
illustrious son couldn't spell it twice
alike; Robert Burns was a child of
poverty, the eldest son of seven children,
the family of a poor bankrupt; John
Milton was the son Of Il scrivener; An
drew Jackson was the son of a poor
Irishman; Andrew johnson was tailor;
Garfield was boy of all work, too poor
even to have a regular trade; Grant
was tanner; Lincoln keel boatman
and common farm hand; and the Prince
of Wales is the son of queen. 1t is
his misfortune, not his fault; he
couldn't help it, and he can't help it
now. But you see, my dear boy, that's
ali there is of him; he's just the Prince
OF Wales, and he's only that because he
can't help it. Be thankful. nv son,
that you weren't born prince; be glad
that you did not strike twelve the first
time. If there is patch on your knee
and your elbows are glossy, there is
some hope for you, but never again let
me hear you say that the poor man has
no chance. True, a poor lawyer, a poor
doctor, a poor printer, poor workman
OF any kind, has no chance; he deserves
to have none, but the poor man mono
polizes about all the chances there are.

MURDER SOCIETY.

"But am speaking to you today of
an organization which has been
wrenched from its original purpose and
turned into the channels of crime,
which would convert the man who
labors into secret, masked and treach-
erous outlaw, separate him from his
home, make him a fugitive from his
state and suspect in his own family,
an organization which uses the Ameri-
can flag as a mask to conceal the
cowardly face of the assassin and which
strikes at the very foundation of the
whole system of our government by
openly destroying property and taking
human life; an organization which
shrinks from the open light of the day,
which in darkened rooms and secret
hiding places, away from the conscience
shifting power of even vagrant ray,
gives to its abherents to drink of the
blood from the skull of the last victim
and administers that manhood MUIR
dering oath which renders him who
takes it an Ishmaelite of the social
world, an outlaw with humanity, a
stranger to the nobler and higher i'm
pulses of mans moral being.

Something wicked this way comes
"And the weird, wild and secret hags
OF anarchy hold high carnival over the
fallen and forfeited manhood of the

which hides from the open light of day,

B0RAH'S GREAT PLEA.
Closing Portion of the Attorneys
Argument in dynamite Case.

When Borah made his argument in
the trial of Paul Cocoran, now in the
state penitentiary, his closing was fine,
and was not only crushing denuncia-
ton of anarchy in the state, but was a
thunderous rebuke to the measley
sheets of the state that are so stepped
in narrow partisan infamy that nothing
appeals to their better nature, if any
they have, and the cayote cry of "assail-
ment of organized labor on the part of
the administration" is the only thing
their malignity can evolve from the
situation. Mr.. Borah said:
Gentlemen of the jury, before close

ually and as a representative of the

and for litigitimate purpose, and not
