s .,7o PLACE OF MEETTN a.


Z The question as to where the assembly
will ebe held is a question which is being
generally discussed by the commissioners.
So far only three formal invitations have
been received. These come from st. Louis,
Cincinnati and: Topeka, Kan Although
the Winona lake representatives have
been doing a great deal of quiet mission
airy work among the commissioners they
have not for some reason or other seen fit
as yet to ask the assembly to come there
again. St. Louis was by all odds the most
popular candidate for the honor yeSter-
day. The commissioners as whole would
be disposed to look kindly upon the offer
of Cincinnati were it not for the fact
that the accommodations would not be
satisfactory. The great drawback about
going to the Ohio city is that the church
in which it is proposed to hold the ses-
sions is far from being central. One COM
missioner, who is familiar with the lay
of the land in Cincinnati, said that the
church was about three miles from the
center of the city, and about as far
away from the hotels at which the COM
missioners would be likely to find accom-
modations.
Opinion appears to be pretty well di-
vided among the commissioners as to the
advisability of placing Rev. DR.. A. G. Nc
Giffert on trial for heresy. 1t was said
yesterday that the assembly might be
prevailed Upon to refer the case back to
the presbyteIy of New York. The New
York commissioners are emphatically op-
posed to such a course. They say that
their presbYtery does not want to recon-
slider the case and will unanimously, OBJ
ject to so doing. They want it settled
once and for all in the assembly and will
hold out strongly to that end.
The fact remains, however, that the
committee on bills and oVertures In
whose hands the matter now rests, holds
the key to the situation. The recomnten-
datiGn of that committee is likely to be
accepted as final by the assembly The
ultra-conservetive element, it is ex-
| pected, will insist on DR.. McGifert's res

WASHINGTON, May 2.-It is under
stood that the house Republican caucus
committee, appointed to frame a scheme
of currency reform, has agreed upon a
measure along the following lines:
The redemption of all obligations of the
government in gold on demand.
Greenbacks when once redeemed for
gold to be reissued only for gold.
Permitting national banks to issue notes
to the par value of their government
bonds deposited in the treasury, instead Of
80 per cent as now.
Permitting the minimum capital of ma
tional banks to be SIS, 600, instead of $5O, 900
at present.
This plan is much less comprehensive
than ardent advocates of general curren-
cy revision have urged, but was adopted
because harmonious agreement on it was
possible, which was not the case when
more radical measures were suggested.

~ 20 WASHINGTON Az. SOUTH.

After a Sabbath devoted to church-go-
ing and preaching, and three popular
meetings in the interests of home mis-
sions and Sabbath observance, the Pres
byterian general assembly will today be-
gin week of hard work. The routine
subjects to be considered today are the
reports of the boards of freedmen ana
education. The principal interest attaches
to the former because of the vigorous eff
fort that has been made to raise the
boards $4,000 debt. The movement was
started Friday night. Moderator Sample
issued a general appeal for subscriptions
and hundreds of individual Geographic
appeals have been sent out. 1t is hoped
that by tomorrow night the debt will
be raised and the freedmen's board put
on u par with other boards In a financial
way.
The matter of decreased representation
will also come up today. The special
board appointed at the last conference
to consider the question of reducing the
number of commissioners to the general
assembly which is now 675, brought in an
alternative report last Friday. Both OF
the offered resolutions reduce the repre-
sentation. One retains the present sys-
tenn of representation by presbyteries,
but reduces the ratio from one elder
and one minister for every twenty-four
members or major fraction in the presby
terry to one elder and one minister 10
thirty-six. This plan reduces the assem-
bly's membership to 422. The other plan
is to make church membership instead of
presbyteries the basis of representation,
one minister and one elder being allowed
for each 5000 communicates. This will
make 800 members of the assembly. There
is a strong feeling against any plan to re-
duce the numbers of the assembly. The
same committee wishes to submit an over
ture increasing the number of ministers
necessary to esta blish a presbytery from
five to ten. This proposition is opposed
by commissioners from sparsely settled
regions.
The assembly has yet to deaH with the
four topics of greatest popular interest
Improvement of relations with the church
South, the Chicago overture as to min
iSterial education, the McGiffert case, and
the Peoria overture looking to the with
drawal of the committee-appointing pow
Ell from the moderator. The committee
on bills and overtures has McGiffert's let
ter, and will try hard to bring In a report
that will avoid trouble. The report is eX-
pected Wednesday morning. ~r
The Chicago overture looks to action
that will encourage young men to enter
the ministry. Presbyterians are mucn
concerned because the number of their
theological students is declining. The
Peoria overture has been Endorsed by
sixty presbyteries, but seems doomed to
defeat. 1t is likely that a distinct adj
vance will be made towards reconciliation
with the South.

Somewhat Personal.

Ten years ago, the Nugget man was a
neighbor of Mr.. Jim Shaw, up at the
Cumberland mine, on War Eagle Noun
tain. The Cumberland was then a
mere prospect. Mr.. Shaw was then
working upon the Red Jacket, a few
hundred feet west of the other pro-
perty. We found Mr.. Shaw a pleasant
neighbor and always gentleman, and
it gives US great pleasure to learn that
he has at last realized quite a comfor-
table competency out of his Cumber-
land property and that he and his
brother and Mr.. Morrison, co owners
with him in the Red Jacket, have
negotiated deal on the latter property
which promises to bring them all out
ahead in it us well. They are all de-
serving gentlemen who have stuck to
their holdings on grand old War Eagle
through all of the seasons of prosperity
and adversity on that famous bullion
producer, with faith born OF know
ledge of the value of their mines. That
the Red jacket will prove to be fine
property there can be little doubt.
Mr.. Jim Shaw, with memory of a find
made in his earlier prospecting
days, is now on trip to some point on
the Salmon. We hope his good luck
will abide with him. In the mean time
a new mill to be constructed at the
Cumberland and the promised develop
ment OF the Red Jacket, together with
what ther Cutchers are doing, is putting
new life on Old War Eagle, for which
we must have cause to rejoice.

saw more than one person on the street
and not certain of his man, shouted
"halt," to which the robber responded
with his gun, firing twice. One shot
struck near Maher's feet and the other
ranged through the hotel hallway, COM

The Los Angeles, Cal. fruit growers

Idaho, to prepare the California fruit
exhibit for next years Paris Exposition.
Mr.. Vessels has prepared Idaho's fruit
display for the Spokane fruit fair for
several years, and it was there that the
Californians discovered his ability
The Nugget man one time had the
pleasure of visiting Mr.. Vessels home
while he was preparing display from
the Clearwater orchards and vineyards,
and from personal observations, can
commend the judgment of the Califor-
mans, but would rather have seen that
gentleman in charge of a fruit display
from Idaho.

kies in town are being selected and
weighed and having their muscles and
endurance tested. Full particulars of
the arrangements will be given in our

that the celebration will be an event
well worth attending.

fields. Mr.. Jim Bernard, in here this
week, told us that half of his second
crop of alfalfa was cut and cooked when
the rains came, and Mr.. Crocheron
tells the same story in regard to his,
except that it was all cut and yetin the
field. In Jordan valley, much the same
condition exists, only that with most
of the ranchers there, it is the single
crop they cut, timothy and redtop, in
stead of alfalfa. But the rains have
saturated the ranges sufficiently to in
sure good feed on them for stock dur
ing the fall.

Two Canadians residing here, got in
to discussion and cannot agree over
the date of the Riel rebellion, and have
referred the matter to the Nugget for a
decision. Why, of course. Louis Riel,
or Riol, as his name is sometimes
spelled, organized the half-breeds of
the Northwest Territory during the
summer of 1885, and the rebellion
broke out in November of that year.
Riel was born in Manitoba in 1874. He
was executed in 1886.

Eighth shoot for Browning Medal:

The Browning Medal was of course,
won by w. R. Thomas, who led from
the beginning of the shoot. However,
less experienced members of the club
gradually climbed up on him, but not
sufficiently to make him lose any of his
nerve. The Handicap Medal, donated
by DR.. Plumer, was won and is being
worh by Rod. Mcmillan. The minor
prizes in the handicap went as follows:
DR.. Plumer will wear the eleven dollar
trousers donated by Baker, the tailor;
the days drive with the best team
Scott can turn out of his stable be-
longs to Geo. Il. McCabe, who will hold
to the ribons and take out few of his
friends; the Nugget will go for year
to the address of Tom Farrer.
We doubt if there be a more enthusi-
aatic gun club in Idaho than the one in
DeLamar. Only two of the members
had ever shot from trap prior TO the
organization of the club, yet the record
made for the summer puts the men,
bers up in the ranks among the crack
clubs of the country.

According to report in the States
man, some of the crack shots of Boise
are making arrangements to accept the
challenge given Boise by members of
the DeLamar Gun Club, and propose
that the event come off at Boise on
Sept. 10Th. No formal acceptance of
the challenge, however has been re-
ceived by our Club. The date named
may be very inconvenient for the De-
Lamar men, as they are all very busy
people and some of them, arranging
matters to get away few days to the
fair, may not be able to get away for
the date named. We, over here, want
to see the match made go and hope
the Boise men may do fine work, for
the sake of making the contest noted
one. We have every confidence in the
ability of our own men to at least give
the other fellows hard tussle for the
honors.

Visit from Relatives Of the Late I'd
ward Wood.

Mr.. G. Z. Wood of Homesdale Pa. and
his son Mr.. w. d. Wood, Travelling Pas
senger Agent of the Wabash Railway,
st. Louis, father and brother of Ed.
Wood, who was killed here two years
ago, came in here on Friday and re-
mained until Sunday, visiting Mrs.
Mary Wood. and the scene of their la
mented relatives tragic death. They
are both very pleasant gegtlemen, the
elder II years of age. 1t being their
first visit to the far West, it was plain
to be seen that they expected to find
things very wild and woolly in a typical
mining camp, unpleasant memories in
tensifying their impressions. But they
found us much like other Americans,
aud, we hope, carried away with them
quite better sentiments respecting us.
They found that their lamented rela-
live had been highly esteemed here,
and that his violent taking off had been
as deeply deplored here as it would
have been in any well regulated COM
munity. Their visit was certainly one
of mutual qualification between them
and Mrs. Wood, who had never before
met any of her late husbands relatives.
All the parties we're apparently well
pleased with each other.
Both of the gentlemen we're very
much interested in their brief insight
to the mysteries of the mining and re-
duction of gold and silver and of the
many scenes novel to them which
elected their notice.

The Placeryille Calamity, where
nearly the entire town was quickly
destroyed by fire last week, leaving be-
tween 300 and 400 people homeless, is
one of those incidents less frequently
occurring in a mining camp than one
would think, probable often visiting
any considerable number of them.
Think of how many such opportunities
there is in Idaho for fires to work de-
struction; think of the tinder boxes Of
houses, punched together or distributed
haphazard, where temporary con-
venience may suggest site; think of
very inadequate means for extinguish-
ing fires, and no organization formed
to fight them aud one must come to
the conclusion that kind Providence
must watcher over us all or the Placer
ville,incident would oftener be repeated.
In De Lamar as well as in number of
other Idaho towns which we might
name, it behooves every person to the
extremely careful and ever watchful
against such accidents. Hose and fire
plugs here can only be made available
for limited portion of the town. Only
few chemical fire extinguishers are
here, and those only of use before a fire
has good headway. Let the Placerville
calamity remind us all that we must
never let our vigilance relax for
moment.

The Gun Club Contest.

The final shoot in the DeLamar Gun
Club contests, for the prizes hung up
came off last week; but on account of
the bird shooting match, which imme-
diately followed, the secretary Of the
Club was too busily engaged, or too
much excited to hand in the result for
publication, last week. The following
is the score of the final shoot:
