Advice for Worrying Women.


1t is trite advice to tell women to
take every day as it comes, to avoid
remorse over what is done, and fore
bodings over what is to come, but it is
no less valuable advice. Nervous pres
tration is seldom the result Of present
trouble or work, but of work and trou-
bic anticipated. Mental exhaustion
comes to those who look ahead and
climb mountains before they arrive at
them, says the New York Magazine of
Sanitation and Hygiene.
Resolutely build a wall about to-day,
and live within the enclosure; the past
may have been hard, sad or wrong-it
is over. The future may be like the
past, but the woman who worries
about it may not live to meet tiff she
does she will bear it, The only thing
with which she should concern herself
Is to-day, its sunshine, it's air, its
friends, its frolics, it's wholesome
work, and, perhaps, its necessary sor.
row.

Believe Him Innocent.

The defense in the Orrin Randall
burglary case, in the face of the
verdict Of guilty recently found by
. jury, declare the defendant is a
victim Of circumstantial evidence.
They bitterly complain that their
principal witness fatty went back
on his testimony at the preliminary
examination, and endeayored to
draw the mesh tighter around the
defendant. Although this witness
was supposed to be friendly to the
defendant, as soon as he could be
excused, he cashed his mileage
check and left for parts unknown.
The attorneys for the defense are
work ing to obtain new evidence
that would enable them to get a
new trial. They claim that if their
client had been guilty or in any
way implicated he would have been
only too glad to tell all he knew to
save himself. The defendants at
tOrneys at all events seem con-
WINGED of his innocence, even at a
date when this belief cannot effect
much. They say the company in
which he was found has damned
him.

TUNNEL BUFFALO HUMP.
Money in the Treasury and Work TO
Begin About jane 10.

X. ID. Williams is back from
Spokane and tells the PREss that
the proposed tunnel through the
Buffalo Hump promises to be an
accomplished fact A company
has been organized in Spokane
composed of the wealthiest and
strongest mining operators in that
city to push the project, and they
are showing their faith by their
works in paying the cash for their
stock. Mr.. Williams says there ia
now about So, 600 in the treasury
and the stock Of the company is
held at 10 cents per share. 1t is
the purpose Of the company to
commence their great undertaking
about June 10, or even earlier il
the conditions will permit Of their
supplies being got in to enable
them to make an earlier start.
The surveys made by the COM
pany engineers demonstrate that
the tunnel will be about 5000 feet
long. Its course will be east and
west, and it will gain depth of
1900 feet below the surface cover
ed by the Marguerite and Louise
locations. The tunnel will start
on the east side of the Hump, and
its purpose is to drain at depth and
to afford a permanent working tun-
mel for the claims located on the
surface on the line Of the tunnel.
The first lode to be cut by the tun-
mel will be the Defiance. Then
follows the Louise, Marguerite,
Chief Joseph, Baby Louise and
Monte Carlo veins on one side, and
the Mother Lode. Shamrock and
Gold Shield on the south side Of
the big tunnel.
In addition the company have
several claims and fractions of
their own which will be developed
by the tunnel, and, Of course, they
also expect to open up and claim
whatever blind leads they may in
tersect in their passage through
the mountain. The surface show
ings Of the claims already located
are but indications of greater min
eral wealth which nature has COW
cred up under acres OF debris
by the disintegration OF
those primeval mountains through
the destructive and leveling agen-
cies of fire and frost and rain,
wind and sun.
The progress of the work will be
watched with great interest, for it
is a great proposition and one well
of the great field in which it
is proposed to operate.

Hot Times at the Hump.


A Buffalo Humper named Ham
son who arrived in town last night
gives a thrilling account of the
manner in which the saloon bust
ness is conducted now at the camp.
He says he struck the camp with
some other parties one night and
entered the saloon at Buffalo to get
out Of the cold. Here he found
four men shivering around the
stove, long icicles hanging to their
whiskers. After making room for
him, one of the crowd invited the
balance to the bar for a drink. All
promenaded and took their forty
drops, but nothing was paid. An
other man extended hospitality in
the same manner with the same
result, and still another. At the
fifth round the saloon man bucked,
and said he would serve no more
nose-paint unless there was some-
thing in sight. Thereupon one of
the bumpers jumped behind the
bar, pushed the tender over his
own mahogany, and the others
held the barkeep down onto the
bar, while the miner behind ladled
out the booze with a liberal hand.
As the saloons are now running in
,pen violation of the law on the
reserve, the liqnor man had no
'edress, and perforce supplied free
thinks to the crowd.

until that date. The jury having
recommended the defendant to the
mercy of the court, it is probable
that the sentence will not be a
heavy one. There is little doubt
that Randall is paying the penalty
of becoming identified with hard
gang that has terrorized section
of this prairie for long time past.
The law-abiding citizens who have
suffered at the hands of this outfit
are reused to point where they
are determined that some one shall
pay the penalty for the crimes COM
mit,ed with apparent impunity
hitherto. It is to be hoped that
the day is not far distant when the
ring-leaders will get their deserts.

A Multitude of Friends.

From Wednesdays Daily.
With the aid Of stout cane
Fred Beck took a short stroll down
town today. His progress was one
of inches. Every step some old or
new acquaintance stopped the
young soldier to shake his hand,
ply him with questions, and beg
him to libate. This latter request
was invariably met with firm
refusal 1t will take long years of
abstemions and careful living for
Fred Beck before the effects of his
encounter with a Mauser bullet
are entirely obliterated.
Mr.. Beck says that the doctors
hold out hopes that in the course
of time, with due care, he will
almost entirely recover from the
effects of the wound although he
he will probably always be little
lame in the right leg. The stage
trip from Lewiston almost killed
him. He cannot speak too highly
of the kindness and care of a lady
who was on the stage and made the
trip with him.
Frisco treated the young soldier
finely. He had pie aud cake at the
Preside until he was tired of the
sight of both. The Native Daugh-
tiers of the Golden West were also
very solicitous concerning his well
fare, and altogether made him feel
that he had not fought and suffered
in vain. Portland was the only
place where he was treated badly.
There he was pushed off the side
walk by a tough, and crippled as
he was, had to use his fists and
cane to prevent further indignities'
being shown to Uncle Sans
uniform. Most feelingly Fred
Beck alludes to the ministrations
of Lieutenat r. ii. Hartman. COM
handing Co. c, First Idaho, on the
battle field and in the hospital.
The lieutenant nursed the bugler
with the tenderness of a woman, at
one time walking seven miles from
camp to the hospital in order to
bring Beck dainties. 1t was the
lieutenant who carried the young
bugler in his arms when he was
first shot.
Fred also speaks feelingly of the.
reception accorded him Monday
night, of the kind speeches made
and the welcome given him on all
sides. Glad as he is to get back to
his native prairie, his homecoming
has been made the more pleasant
by these demonstrations of good
will and esteem on the part Of the
people of Grangeville.

NORTHERN PACIFIC POSTS.
Surveyors Placing Grading Stakes
Will be in GranseVille


Rev. James Hayes, the we'll
known Indian preacher, was in
town from Kamiah today and tells
THE Press that there is force of
900 Northern Pacific workmen
with an immense grading outfit at
that point.
The general idea on the part of
this community is that this large
force will follow up the surveyors
who for some weeks past have been
quietly surveying up the Cotton
wood creek and Red Rock canyons
and who are now near Columbus,
headed this way, and that the road
bed will be graded and made ready
for ties and iron as soon as the
stage Of water will permit Of their
being brought up from Spalding
II all this transpires we may yet
hear the snort of the iron horse in
Grangeville in time to remove the
crop of the present season as fast
as it is harvested.
A party Of N. p. surveyors are
also running line up the south
fork of the Clearwater and are now
10 miles above Harpster.
Word reaches us today over the
the telephone that the Northern
Pacific had let contracts for the
completion of 30 miles of road of
the Lapwai spur, which will bring
the road up by way Of Bill Cald-
wells ranch, Pine City and Kippen
10 Cold spring, only ten miles north
of Westlake, in this county, The
river road will be completed to
Stuart by next October.
Telephone advices received today
by Hon. J. w. Reid announce that
the supreme court had sustained
the salary bill, except that the
county commissioners are not al
lowed to fix their own salaries.
