If the reports be true regarding the
copper claims taken up along both
banks of Snake river under the shadow
of the Seven Devils mountains, it goes
far toward proving that the Seven
Devils district is destined to become
the most extensive copper producing
section ever found. Extending along
the east side of the river and in places
looming above the stream more than
five thousand feet, these mountains
have been proven to bear very large
deposits of copper for Il distance of
fully forty miles. The turbulent river
below them could not be navigated and
their accessibility from the other side,
though practical, was so difficult that
without railroad the deposits could
not be profitably developed, The idea
got abroad that the owners and know
ing ones believed they did not have
depth and permanency. The discovery
of the deposits along the river banks,
5000 feet below the original locations,
explodes the notion that the deposits
were not deep. That they cover wide
area is equally certain. This season
will see the completion of railroad
from Weiser into the very heart of the
district, and another railroad nearly
completed down the river from Hunt
ington. Capitalists are picking up
more of the mines. Although not now
causing as much excitement as the
Buffalo Hump gold discoveries, we be-
lieve the Seven Devils region is going
to be the scene of the greatest mining
activity of any point in Idaho before
the summer is gone.

In its stories of animal life the Strand
Magazine tells of an old sheep dog that
was used to keep foxes away from a
chicken farm and who did it success
fully. Nevertheless the chickens would
disappear. Out of brood of 25 there
would be left only three. The dog was
at last suspected, but as he would per-
init the chickens TO climb al over him
this was considered iiSel. But close
watching showed that early in the
morning when none but chickens were
astir, of which the dog would make
sure by listening at the house d-ors
and looking up at the windows, he
would turn to and treat himself to a
good square meal of chicken. Another
story is of horse that having been
treated to bread at customers once
or twice, would. when he had chance,
cross the sidewalk and with his mouth
hammer the brass knocker on the dool
until his wants were attended to.

ON A JOCKEYS BADGE.
zoo Pounds, But His Nerve
Was Good.

In one of the newspaper composin-
rooms in this city there is typesetting
machine operator who is a great lover
of horse racing. A good share of his
wages goes to the bookmakers at the
local tracks during the racing season.
although for some reason he never ac-
quired the poolroom habit, and has al
ways refused to put down bet unless
he was there to see how the dogs ran"
He is fully six feet tall, and weighs
about 200 pounds. His size suggested
joke TO one of his friends during the
racing season last summer, says the
New York Sun.
"Going to Sheepshead Bay to-day?"
the friend asked.
"I'd like to. but if go I won't have
much left to bet with"
"Tcan give you a Jockeys badge" said
the friend.
Gimme it," replied the printer, eag-
erly. never realizing the ridiculous con-
trast between his size and that of even
the heavy weight jockeys. Armed with
the Jockeys badge. he presented him
self at the racetrack gate and showed
his badge. The ticket taker looked at
him in astonishment.
"For heavens sake" he finally blurt-
ed out, 'wot do you ride-the ele-
phant?"
There's one entered in the fifth
race" was the reply, and his nerve so
paralyzed the gatekeeper that he was
admitted.

The trials of the Ceur d'Alene rioters
will begin on the 10th of this month.
Their tribulations began very shortly
after the 29th of April, when troops ar
rived in Wardner, and will not be likely
to end, with some of them, for long
time hence. 1t never pays to bid de-
fiance to the law, however great the
provocation may be, unless you are
stronger than the law. Law and order
still have a strong backing in this
United States of America. The Ceur
d'Alene country is still in the United
States.

A decree of divorce was granted to n
woman by court in Spokane, where
the only cause set forth in the COM
plant was that the husband was hope
lessiy lazy. Tho woman when ques-
toned by the court said that she had
no other complaint to make against her
husband than that before their mar
riage he had been a soldier and that he
had acquired such habit of soldier
ing" that he made no effort to earn a
support for his family. The woman
was doubtless justified in appealing to
the court to help her to get rid of such
man, but was it not rather danger
Gus precedent for the court to estab-
lish? Just think of how many wives
there are who could establish plea for
divorce upon the same grounds. 1t
beats the plea or incompatibility of
temper out of sight. The latter is a
favorite plea with people belonging to
the four hundred, and the former may
become the plea of plebeians. A Arecital
of the story of woman getting up and
building the fire in the morning while
her husband is lying abed, or proof that
she was seeu out at the wood pile
swinging the axe may work many poor
mans undoing. 1t is terrible to con-
template the consequences of the action
OF this Spokane judge.

= 1t has grown to be an unusual
thing for day to pass in Judge
Springer's court when some opin-
ion of the court detrimental TO the
intruders is not promulgated. To-
day the judge indicated that per
haps congress hadn't the power to
make law granting those claim
ants who had failed to establish
their citizenship the right to dis
pose of their Improvements.
Judge Springer's position is that
when they failed to establish their
citizenship, they lost all right to
hold or dispose of improvements
placed upon Cherokee land. An
intruder therefore would not have
the legal right to sell even to a
Cherokee, because the property be-
longed to the Cherokee nation

An Object Lesson,

The moral superiority of law and or
der over the frenzied processes of the
mob is strikingly illustrated in an epi-
sode which occurred recently in the
District of Columbia. A young white
woman, Mrs. Hardy, living in a Sc
cluded house some distance from
Georgetown, was criminally assaulted
crime, in Its hideousness. equalled any
that has ever been committed in the
cotton belt. Its details are unfit for
print and scarcely fit to be thought Of
Naturally the community's indignation
was enkindled, but instead of confld-
ing the case to the jurisdiction OF Judge
Lynch, the law-respecting inhabitants
Of the district cheerfully gave it over
to the regularly constituted authorl-
ties.
These promptly arrested several sus-
poets, among them a negro named
Busey, whom Mrs. Hardy believed to
be her assailant. Had this negro been
in the keeping of a mob he would have
been hanged or burned within half an
hour after his apparent Identification.
But under the custody of the law off,
GERS ne was taken to prison and sub
sequently established a complete alibi.
AS the Washington Star well says
Transfer this case to any section of
the country where the mob rules, and
what would have occurred? Can any

talon. Thirty thousand copies of one OF
Senator Hoar's speeches were circulated
among Aguinaldo's people, as were thou
sands of other similar deliverances, either
in congress or In Mugwump gatherings.
The Importance of these harangues
reached Hong Kong magnifed ten thou
sand fold. An assemblage composed OF
co-poral's guard of anaemc academi-
clans would be described as a great popu-
lar outpouring of stalwart and virlle
American citizens. Every poor little
half-crazy gabbler was enlarged to the
proportions of leader OF American
thought and action. Every self-seelting
domagogue or benighted doctrinaire who
rallied against our policy was pictured as
IA giant seven feet high, grand. epic,
overwhelming. No wonder Aguinaldo,
full of impish tricks and unutterable con-
ceit was encouraged to believe that
vast majority of our people regarded him
as hero. No wonder he plotted to re-
quite their admiration by putting to
death all the foreigners in Manila, with
out reference to age or sex. No wonder
he ordered that treacherous attack by
night and hoped to end It with a gen-
eral massacre. Were not tho United
states authorities in the Philippines,
civil and military, denounced at home as
murderers and spoliators? Was he not
sure of the sympathy Of the country and
the support of congress? What conceiva-
BILE effort other than this could such trea-
sonable agitation be expected to produce
upon the semi-savage mind?
o.
We do not think that Mr.. Barretts hy-
pothesis can be successfully disputed. To
our mind II seems Enthusiastically clear
that the bloodshed and turmoil in Luzon
past and to come-must be credited di-
rectly to the encouragement Aguinaldo
has received from this country.

was possessed OF a large fortune and
was looking for husband. Miss Rob-
erts. of course, was ignorant of the
existence of the paper or the advertise
ment and did not begin to realize the
Joke until she had received 200 offers
of marriage by letter. The case has
been placed in the hands OF postal OFF,
cials, who will pursue the publisher to
the extent Of the law. The instance
is not without cheering features. not
withstanding the annoyance 1t has
caused the parties most deeply inter-
ested. It illustrates that people read
advertisements in the papers and also
demonstrates that in spite of the oft
repeated assertion in certain quarters
that marriage is a failure, there are still
many who are willing to run the risk
when sufficient inducements are offered
in the way of collateral.
