How People Laugh.

Since the days of Adam, who is
said to have invented laughter
when he awoke and saw Eve by his
side, no two people have laughed a
like. The laugh is as distinct as the
voice. Women laugh differently
from men, children from women,
indeed, even the laugh of full
bearded man is different from that
which he laughs when he has
shaved. Ex.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN RUSH
Warrens, Florence and Adjacent
Camps Deserted for the Strike.

From now on until the snow puts an
end to prospecting, series of wild ex-
elements may be anticipated, first in
one portion and then in another of
Central Idaho. The field is vast, rich
and practically unexplored until this
year. Now the treasure hidden in this
wild territory will, in measure, be
revealed.
For the past week a notable STAN
pede has taken place toward Thunder
mountain. That district is situated in
direct line southeast of the Hump on
the south side of Salmon river. 1t is
confidently claimed that the big Hump
Lodges and the phenomenal finds on
Thunder mountain, are a continuation
of the same formation. Be this as it
may, you can stand on the summit of
the Hump and look down upon the
scene of the present rush, if gifted with
a powerful imagination.
1t is not to be supposed that such
men as Captain Wood, of the lola mine,
Jack Rice, of Florence, and dozen
others of equal prominence and relia-
bility are all indulging in conversations
through their sombreros concerning
this matter. They are agreed that the
strike is something far out of the
ordinary, and the rush thither has as
sumed wild proportions. Warrens,
Florence and other camps are reported
practically empty on this account.
1t appears that a prospector grub
staked by Jake Rice was the first man
to stumble upon the true value of the
enormous ledges that have long been
known to exist on that mountain. In
deed, it reads like the story of the dis
covery of the Buffalo Hump mines over
again. We cannot but feel disap-
pointed in not having received more
definite details of the strike from our
Warrens correspondent, who makes
merely passing mention of the matter.
Doubtless further information on this
head will be forthcoming later. We
are reliably informed this morning that
over 500 men were already on the scene
of this discovery, and hundreds on
their way as fast as horse and mule can
carry them.-Grangeville Free Press.

C0rcOran Found Guilty.

The first of the long list of trials of
the Wardner rioters has ended by the
jury finding Corcoran guilty of murder
in the second degree. This marks the
beginning of the end of reign of
anarchy which has lasted for seven
years or more in Shoshone county, and
it is to be hoped will forevermore stop
the lawlessness which has for so long
dominated one of the rich mining dis
tricts of Idaho. All the sympathy for
the murderers of Kneebone, Whitney,
Cheyne and others or for the men who
made law unto themselves behind
padded doors and darkened windows
and mercilessly executed it with
masked faces and stolen rifles has been
undeserved. That the State has been
forced to adopt harsh means to end the
long prevailing reign of terror is true.
That the measures adopted have been
criticised severely and unjustly is
equally true. But the means will have
been amply justified if the end attained
shall forever rid the State of class of
men who commit murder and arson
while shouting in foreign accents,
"Down with America" wearing masks
torn from the stripes Of Old Glory and
celebrating with pomp and ceremony
the anniversary of a cowardly murder,
and under the name and in the garb of
a beneficent organization desecrating
the rights and liberties of fellow work
ing men. The worst feature about
cleaning out this den is that the great
est scoundrels escape. No one believes
that of the thousand men who went to
Wardner any large number went there
with murder or rapine in their minds,
and one cannot believe that the worst
men in the organizations were with the
mob. The instigators and most guilty
will escape.

The famous grub stake lawsuit in
volving title to the Big Buffalo group
on Buffalo Hump has been decided by.
District Judge E. c. Steele of Moscow.
He gives the grub stake claimants,
Jacob N. Rice and Perry Mallory, each
quarter interest in the mine. The
suit was against B. r. Rigley and the
estate of c. F. Robbins, deceased, they
being the prospectors who located the
Big Buffalo group. Various other
parties to whom Rigley & Robbins sold
interests are made party defendants.
The decision practically cuts all their
holdings in two and gives the plaintiffs
half the mine. Harry VI. Glidden and
wife of Spokane interveped, claiming
an interest transferred to them from
Rice. This was not denied by Rice and
the complaint Of the intervenors was

1t has been unanimously decided by
the Supreme Court of Colorado that
the eight-hour law is unconstitutional.
The law passed by the last Colorado
Legislature applied only to mines,
smelters and mills for the reduction of
ores. The effect upon the most i'm
portant industry of Colorado when the
law went into effect is known-nearly
every smelter in the state closed down,
for the reason that the American
Smelling & Refining Co, refused to pay
the same wages for eight hours that
had previously been paid for ten and
twelve hours work. Although the
courts have declared the law unconsti-
tutional, there is no disposition on the
part of the workmen to work longer
time than eight hours and they demand
that the union be recognized Nego-
tiations between smelter managers and
workmen are still in progress.-Scien

CHAMPION OYSTER EATER.
New Orleans Dealer Has n Customer
Who Has an Immense Ca
pncity.

During the last few days two broth
ers from a neighboring town. in the
yellow pine lumber district have been
guests at one of the local hotels. These
gentlemen are fine specimens Of phys
ical manhood. and not only bear strik-
ing resemblance to one another, but
have in common many tastes, one of
which is a remarkable fcndness for
raw oysters, upon which circumstance
hangs tale. Near the hotel is small
oyster bar CT the usual sort, and on the
morning of their arrival one of the
brothers observed the establishment
and Immediately hungered for bivalves.
In less time than ii takes to tell it he
was standing at thecounter, and before
he left he had put away a couple of
dozen on the deep-shell. Returning 10
the hotel, he encountered mis- brother
and warmly recommended the pl.:ce.
The latter lost no time in rushing
across.
"Here!" he said, gimme three dozen
like you just served"
Holy smolie!" gasped the opener,
and proceeded to serve the order, which
was swiftly disposed Of. In the course
OF ar hour the first brother happened
TO be passing, and couldn't r;-sist The
temptation of dropping in. Thdi time
he devoured an even 90. ard while the
oyster opener was wondering what Kind
of a bonanza he had struck the other
visitor reappeared and ran the score
up TO 62. That ended the continuous
performance act until evening, when
brother No. rushed in, hungry as a
wolf, and told the opener to start in and
keep it up until he called time.
I'm bet he comes right back" said
the man behind the counter, when his
patron had departed with record Of
3S. "If you turn him loose in Bayou
creek he'd clean il out in week"
The words had scarcely passed his
lips when. brother No. 2 pushed through
the swinging doors and hoped blithe-
~ on a stool. I'm starving to death!"
he shouted; push out some oysters,
1ouble-quick time!"
Great snakes." said the opener, in
an awed tone. "How many do you
want?'
"Oh, 40 or So Shove 'em right along
till holler stop"
The oyster man was kept busy until
the count reached &c, and when the Wis
itor went out he was unable TO find
words to express his feelings. The eli
max, however, was yet to come. The
FIRST brother, on returning to the hotel.
lad met an old friend, who presently
remarked that he was on his way to
get bite to eat.
"Well, come over and have some
oysters" said the other; "they are de-
licious. I've just eaten few, but I'll
Join you in another Dozen"
When the pair walked in the opener
came near having fit. suffering alli-
gators!" he whispered to the bar boy,
here he comes again! Amt there no
way of film him up?"
The visitors left large stock Of
empty shells, and before retiring the
other brother dropped in again for a
ate snack. He was served in awesome
silence. and as it so happened that both
gentlemen took other quarters next day
the exact facts have not yet leaked out.
