Che New land OF goId.

Yes, Idaho's turn has come at last.
For years she has lain dormant wait
ing, waiting. The turn has been
called, "the clock has struck the
change has come.
The extension of the Northern Pa
cific's Spokane Palouse branch to
Lewiston. and the further extensions,
the present season, from Lewiston
up Lapwai Greek and up the Clear
water River into the heart Of the old
Nez Perce reservation are working
wonders. And along with this era
0: railway expansion, comes the
wonderful discovery of gold in the
Buffalo Hump country. Here, where
forty years ago the placer mines
yielded 500, 100000, so the author
tiles tell us, now are discovered the
most stupendous quartz lodges ever
known between Florence and Elk City
Grangeville and the Salmon River,
the probabilities are that Klondike
will be outdone.
Then too, the farmer and ranch.
man has his chance. Between Lew
iston and the Hump lies fruit and
grain region famous around Idaho.
The Cold Springs and Camas Prairie
lands can't be beat. AS fruit and
grain country this region beats Cali-
TO rna, and now that new mining
camps furnish good and nearby mars
kets and transportation facilities are
so much improved, the farmer will
find these acres to be as rich mines
OF gold 70 him as the quartz ledges
are to the miner. So everybody has
chance here, to make good turn.
Send two cents to Charles S. Fee, st.
Paul, Mimi, or to any General or
District Passenger Agent of the
Northern Pacific Railway for the
new Buffalo Hump folder. 1t de-

During the winter of 1897 Mr..
James Reed, one OF .he leading citi-

Co, W. Va, struck his leg against
cake of ice in such manner as to
bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him so
badly that he could not walk with
out the aid OF crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used sew
eral kinds of liniment and two and
half gallons of wiskey in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief until he
began using Chamhe-lains Pain
Balm. This brought almost CONS
plete cure in weeks time and he
believes that had he not used this

Birth days and Gems.

It is rare to meet a person who does
not confess to the fascination of
precious stones. The charm OF an
opal, for instance, seems more than
the rainbow suspended in its hidden
waters. It seems to mean hope, and
life or death, and the promise of life
after death, with it's ever changing,
ever new, reflections. Here is an in
teresting classification of the appro-
pirate gems for each person to wear:
"Those born in January should wear
garnet, signifying friendship and
fidelity; February, amethyst, sincerity
and peace; March, bloodstone, wis
dom, courage and firmness; April,
diamond, innocence; May, emerald,
beloved and happy: June, agate,
health. wealth and long life; July,
ruby, content; August, sardonyx, con-
jugal felicity; September, sapphire,
sanity, peace and ease of mind; Octo-
ber, opal, hope; November, topaz,
friendship and true love; December,
turquoise, success.

Cloth From Peat.

Peat has been applied to many use,
full purposes, but certainly hum an in
genuity has surpassed itself making
the product Of the bogs available for
the wearing of textile fabrics. Yet this
has not merely been done in Germany
but by the very irony of fate trade in
the finished article has been estab-
lished in the capital city of Ireland
the land of bogs. Those who have ex-
amined the Irish and German peat de-
clare that the former is much more
suitable for making into cloth than the
latter, possessing more fibre and be-
ing altogether of better quality. Yet
the enterprise of the German has sue
ceeded with the inferior article, while
the use of the Irish product has not
even reached the stage of experiment

Christian churches of different de-
nominations, all over the land, have
now taken up the antj-polygamy cru
sade, and, at the present time, it is
the absorbing topic.
For the second time in our history,
the hydra of polygamy has lifted its
head in defiance of the American peo-
pie. Utah, repudiating the sacred
pledges it gave as an essential oondi-
& ton of admission to Statehood, has
not only failed to suppress the crime
of plural marriage, but has promoted
and encouraged it. Emboldened by
apparent public Indifference, it lately
elected to Congress notorious poly
gamist with three wives. This man
a convicted offender-is knocking at
the doors of our national legislature,
and claiming the right to voice and
vote in making laws for the American
people. Public indignation, slow to
awake, has been fully aroused in pro-
test against so shameless a proceed
ing, and the demand is universal and
insistent that Congress should exer-
else its prerogative and purge itself
of the contamination. From every
State-Utah alone excepted-there

1t is compact bit of hardware and
most useful one and it is reported
that the sales of it have been sufficient
to warrant the inventor in taking a

The "muff stove is a metal box,
small enough to be slowed away in

Inside the box shoulders a chunk of
punk, the stuff that just burns itself

simply going to run over to the corner
to fill the pail little piece of punk in

"The election of B. H. Roberts is
the practical challenge of Mormonism
on the question of whether plural
marriage is q virtue or crime. How
are we going to answer the challenger"
If there are any who suppose that
Brigham III. Roberts is going to give
up the fight he is making to secure
seat in Congress and resign, they mis-
take the desperate character of the man.
One incident in his career shows his
bulldog tenacity. Roberts, with two
other Mormons, went to Tennessee to
do missionary work. His companions
Were killed by angry citizens when the
nature of their mission became known,
and Roberts himself barely escaped
with his life. Determined to secure
the bodies of his comrades, and know
ing upon his return to the scene of the
trouble that recognition would mean
instant death, he disguised himself as
tramp. As such he again invaded
the ememy's country, secured the mis-
sionaries' bodies and carried them
back to Utah.
1t evident that the Mormon Church
and State officials III Utah are in great
trepidation over the popular uprising,
which threatens the entire Mormon
fabric. Lorenzo Snow, President and
head of the Mormon Church, has is
sued long statement in which he de-
clares that plural marriages have ceased
forever in Utah, and that Roberts was
not elected to Congress as Mormon.
Both assertions, however, are fatty
contradicted by the facts. The Pres
bytery of Utah has declared publicly
over their signatures that no less than
2000 polygamous marriages have taken
place in Utah within two years, and =
is admitted by prominent Norm MS
that he was elected through the L..
fuence of the Mormon Church, his
nomination by the Congressional Con-
vention being brought about through
the personal efforts of Heber j.
Grant,

Brigham II. Roberts, according to
the published accounts, has contracted
three marriages. His wives are Louisa
Smith Roberts, Celia Dibble Roberts
and Margaret G. Shipp Roberts. The
two first named live in Centreville,
near Salt Lake City, and the third is
practicing physician in that city. In
February, 1887, he was indicted by
the Grand Jury of the United States
before the Third District Court of
Utah, for continuous and unlawful
cohabitation with more than one
woman as his wives" The indictment
was filed February IA, warrant was
issued the same day, he was arrested
on the fifteenth of the same month,
but was not arraigned until April 30,
1889, when he entered plea of
guilty. On May l, 1889, he was
sentenced to four months confine-
ment in the Utah penitentiary and a
fine of 5000.
The entire Protestant clergy of the
State OF Utah have united in an effort
to defeat the Mormon plans, and have
issued statement exposing, in no

A WOMAN "sPEAKER."
Mrs. Frances s. Lee Presides Over tho
Colorado Legislature.

hrs' FRANCES 3. Lee Prestdes Over the
Colorado Legislature.
The Colorado Legislature has bent
the knee to the yoke of woman. The
burden was not oppressive, for the
happy natured mistress of the gavel
made her sway felt lightly, and the
members kindly avoided raising diff
cult points of order. The lady in
question is Frances s. Lee, Repre-
sentative from Arapahoe County, on
the populist ticket. Mrs. Lee is not
o speaker of tried strength, but she
possesses fund of wit and resource
that prevented the members from
catching her mapping, if they intended
! to trip her up on her rulings in the
chair of the Speaker, when the As
sembly was sitting as committee Of
the whole.
William G. Smith, the Speaker, had
something to say about the division of
party spoils, from which he had plucked
the chief plum, and called the quiet
little lady from the floor to take his
place at the Speakers desk.
Mrs. Lee tried to decline the honor
and blushed furiously when her name
was mentioned. She was uncertain of
her ability to handle the reins of gov
ernment when fifty odd Representa-
tives were clamoring for pie. But she
took the chair and gavel with cer-
tain dignity. Then the embarrass-
ment fell upon the members when they
came to address the Chair, for, be it
known, there is no set rule for the re-
cognition of women in the Legislature,
and it is left to the ingenuity of each
member how he shall address a lady
who occupies the chair.
Some called her MADAM President"
and others Madam Speaker" but
these were the men from the city, who
possibly had wives in woman's club
and were better schooled than their
colleagues in the feminity of parlia-
mentary law. Representatives from
the mining and rural districts came to
the front with quite variety OF ad-
dresses, including MRS. Speaker"
"Mrs. President" and one, in the full.
