Weiser Celebrates.

The State Administration family,
with the exception of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hutchinson, being all absent
looking after affairs in the Ceur
d. Alenes, Mr.. Hutchinson, upon an in.
vitation from the Board of Trade of
Weiser, represented the State at the
banquet given on the occasion OF driving
the copper spike to inaugurate track
laying on the P. & /. N Railway, Tues.
day MIR. H. is home again and gives
glowing account Of the.big celebration,
claiming that it was the greatest event
of its kind that has occurred in Idaho
in many year. The Weiser people, he
says are right up to date in conducting
an affair of this character, especially
when they have the assistance of the
ladies of that delightful place. But in
addition to this, the neighboring town
of Payette, instead Of sulking at the
good fortune of Weiser, in getting
the initial terminus of the road
for which it had been a rival, al
though claiming an ownership to
Mr.. Bates, 'the father of the road,'
Clipped in with valuable assistance, to
make the celebration the success it
proved to be. There were large dele
cations there from all the neighboring
towns along the Short Line, including
a very large one from Boise, and also
host of people from all points between
.Weiser and the Seven Devils, making,
altogether, the biggest crowd ever as
sembled in that town. A pavilion had
been constructed near the depot, and
reception committees appointed-one
Of ladies to take charge of lady visi-
tors. There was an address of welcome
by Mayor Galloway, of Weiser, and
speeches galore by citizens and visiting
guests, In the evening there was a
grand banquet at the opera house, and
after-dinner speeches, in which the
promoter, the capitalists who had put
up to build the road, and everybody
who had lent hand were accorded
their due need of praise. Weiser has
our congratulations.

Anti Gambling.

Today in Idaho any one who deals,
plays or carries on, opens or causes to
be opened, or who conducts, either as
owner, employe or lessee; whether for
hire or not, any game of faro, monte,
roulette, lansquenet, rouge ct noir,
rondo, or any game played with cards,
dice or any other device, for money,
checks, credit or any other representa-
tive of value, is guilty of a misdemeanor,
and is punishable by fine not less than
500 or Imprisonment in the county
Jail not less than four months. That is
the law and it goes further by making
any person liable who permits any of
the inhibited games to be played on his
premises even though such premises
be rented to some one else. Again the
law imposes penalty on every peace
officer who refuses or neglects to en-
force the law. 1t may be proper to
remark that this sweeping and drastic
measure was enacted in response to the
demands of the supposed moral senti-
ment of the state. Theoretically, it be-
comes the patriotic duty of every citi-

Tuesday was big day in the flourish
ing town of Weiser and marked the
beginning of new epoch in the history
of that enterprising town. On that day
the copper spike was driven to hold the
first rail of road to connect Weiser
with the great copper district of Idaho.
This road, starting from and through
beautiful valley, running thence
through picturesque canyon, and then
alternately through mountain gulches
and fertile areas for about one hundred
miles traverses country rich in agri-
cultural resources, to reach district
whose mineral wealth is boundless.
The great Seven Devils copper deposits
are believed to be by those most fami-
liar with them the greatest ever dis
covered. Weiser is the natural outlet
for the boundless wealth of agricul-
tural, horticultural, tim ber and mineral
products of the hundreds of square
miles which the P. & l. N. railroad will
drain and supply. Weiser's future is
assured, and it was fitting that the peo-
pie should celebrate the beginning of
this new epoch with big blowout.

OF course it is mere guess-work, as
none but the confidential employees
can tell the amount, but the Salt Lake
Tribune says that Captain De La Mars
income from his Nevada mines is
100000 per month, and from his Mercur
properties not less than sl25,000 per
month. The report has also come here
from what is supposed to be pretty
authentic source that the Captain quit
eight million dollars ahead on his deals
in South African stocks, in Paris and
London, during last winter. During
his recent visit to Utah, he purchased
mining properties at Bingham.

The patriotism and courage of the
western volunteers in the Philippines
command the respect of the civilized
world. The men who have done the
extraordinary service in that land are
almost exclusively western men. They
are not men bred to the life of soldier
in accordance with old time tradition of
what was necessary to make reliable
soldier. The men who have been i'm
pregnable when attacked and irrisist-
able in a charge were drawn from the
body of the western citizens. These
volunteers were men of affairs, laborers,
mechanics, artisans and professors,
men from every walk of life except pro-
fessional soldiers. This example of
tact and valor has astounded Europe
where the safe guard is standing army
of professional soldiers. The battles Of
the past year in Cuba and the Phillip
pines have demonstrated that the
American is born soldier. Our worker
may be called from the plow, the shop
and the Office to the battle field, and be
depended upon to defend the flag with
out the training that makes an expen-
sive standing army necessary. The
volunteers in Manila are better soldiers
than the old world veterans. The old
theory has been overturned by the ex-
amples of the western volunteers. The
east should ponder this example. This
soldierly characteristic is western
rather than American. The soldiers
who fought so admirably against Aguin-
aldo are from the far west The fathers
of these brave sons subdued the wilder
ness and resisted the muderous Indians.
The young generations of soldiers in
herited hardihood and valor from the
pioneers of the great plains. AS they
have impressed the world with their
heroism in battle they will soon impress
the effete east with their energy in
business politics. The energy and the
valor that sustained the soldiers in the
marches aud the charges in the Philip
pines will sustain the western men in
the peaceful battles of life.-Teller.

The opinion now prevails in the C9ur
d'Alenes, that the number of striking
miners who will be held for trial for
the depradations committed at Wardner
will be reduced to about one hundred
and forty. 1t is claimed that only about
knowledge of the intent of the few to
destroy property, the others being
induced to go along to give their moral
support to demonstration to induce
toe non union men to join the union or
leave the country. That the great
majority of the miners would have
refused to go had they known there
was any intention of going to such
extremes. We believe, were the whole
truth to come out this would prove
true. We would dislike very much to
believe that all, or any great number of
the miners in the Ceur d'Alenes would
countenanee any such exteme measures
even with the provocation they doubt
less had, for it is no doubt the
truth that the owners OF the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan did not
keep their promises with the miners
and were doing everything in their
power to crush out the miners union
in that district The Standard Oil
Company never has recognized the right
of labor to unite for protection, al
though the company is itself one of the
most powerful combinations of capital
extant and its managers the very
moguls of all trust combines. Had no
such violent measures been resorted to
the miners would have kept the sym
pathy Of almost the entire country.
We are glad to believe that the violent
measures resorted to did not have the
assent of the majority of even those
who were apparently participants.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The sweetest music Love knows is the
sound of her own name.
Some men have no excuse for living;
others have no living for an excuse.
There are two ways to MAKE woman
love you; one is to tell her to, and the
other is to tell her not TO.
If women could go to heaven for hus-
bands, there are probably some who
would insist on having one of the four
winged beasts.
A great hate is more all-absorbing
than great love, because it has more
of patience; and patience is the greatest
of the passions.-New York Life.
Probably every woman wishes her
hose was either bigger or littler.
Every woman, no matter how homely
she is, believes in her heart that she has
an aristocratic air.
You can always judge woman's
talking speed by watching her in res
taurant when she thinks no one is look
ing.
The instinct that makes a man fall
in love probably is the same one that
makes a child, when it can't think of
anything else to do, want a piece of
bread and butter.
There was once big looking-gla in
a department sore, and one day a
woman passed it without looking to see
how she looked to other. people when
they looked at her. This is not fairy
story; the woman was blind.-New York

the air. exposing the secrets that ma
ture buried under it's surface.
One great tree spans a deep gulch
forty feet wide. 1t lies where it fell
centuries, perhaps ages, ago, and is a
most beautiful specimen of petrified
wood The rings and the bark can be
easily traced through the translucent
agate, and it is firm enough and strong
enough to last as many centuries as 1t
has already spent in it's peculiar posi-
ton 1t is undoubtedly the only bridge
of agate in the world, and alone is
worth a long journey to see.
The Indians of the Southwest used to
visit the petrified forests frequently to
heads and the material was scattered
over the entire continent by exchange
between the different tribes, from the
Isthmus of Panama to BehrinS
Strait The great deposit here explains
where all the arrowheads of moss agate
came from, and other weapons and inn
plements of similar material that are
found in the Indian mounds and graves
of the Central and Western States. In
the stone age the agate of the petrified
forest was the very best material that
could be obtained for both the imple-
ments of war and peace of the abort
gines A scalping knife could be made
very easily from one of the chips of
agate and could be ground to a very
fine edge. Many crystals were used
for jewelry and ornament also.-Chi-
cago Record.

might have had, owing to the break
down of his pacing machine. He con-
tinued in the race, however, riding 21
miles.
Elkes took the lead at the start, and
was never headed, finishing the 24
miles in Al :1675. His time for II miles

the organization repudiated any action

Grand President Mattison said that
the Native Sons We're anxious that the

BERLIN, August 26. = The political
situation this week has been highly
interesting. The unexampled defeat
of the Government in the Diet, hich
after his emphatic utterances at Dort-
mund was personal defeat FOR En-
peror William, has engro1sed attention
to the exclusion of almost everything
else. The fact that the blow was dealt
by the Conservatives, a party which
has been favored and nurSeC lor gener-
atlonS at the expense of every other
party, made the event all the more sem
Sational. The absence of his majesty
complicated the situation for the Cab
met, and the Emperor, not having ex-
pected the rejection of the canal bill,
no provision was made as TO what steps
the Government would take in such in
event. After the final vote both
Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial Chan
cellor, and DR.. Won MIGUEL, Vice-Pre
ident of the Council of Ministers. and
Prussian Minister Of Finance. not hav-
ing any instructions, neither the Cab
met nor the Government press knew
what to say or do.
For several days political chaos
reigned, even the opposition press being
at a loss.
The proposed partial reorganization
of the Cabinet, relieving it of some of
IT'S inefficient members, like Baron Won
Der Ecke and Won Der Horst, the Min
lister of the Interior, has been postponed
to a future time, his majesty mean
while disciplining some Of the most re-
fractory officials, who as delegates.
voted and agitated against the canal
bill.
Having resolved on this the present
outcome of the crisis amounts to next
to nothing The Emperor and the
Cabinet will continue to govern with
the same party which brought on the
crisis. This is all the more peculiar
after the wild threats launched in the
entire press by the members of the
Government against the Conservatives
and their leaders. These threats ap-
peared for several days in such Gov
ernment organs as the "Allegemeine
Zeitung," "Politische Correspondent >
| "Neusten Nachffchten,' Hamburger
Correspondent" and others.
The crisis is so serious, however, that
every member of the Cabinet has been
recalled to Berlin. Prince Hohenlohe
even abandoned his usual summer trip
to Ausze, Austria, and will remain in
this city for some time.
The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press hears from reliable
source that Prince HohenlOhe insisted
on a dissolution of the Diet and the
resigning of the Cabinet, while Or.
Won Miguel viewed the situation in the
light finally adopted by the Emperor
The present session of the Diet will
soon close probably by the end of next
week, after the most pres sing business
has been disposed Of
The crisis, however, i now regarded
as ended The canal bill will probably
be again introduced at tho next ses-
sion of the Diet.
