The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1900-04-14

Governor Steunenberg's putty Dep
uty-Governor Bartlett Pear Sinclair,
were abolished. Iwant nothing to
do with men that wear masks. nor
have fearful solemn oaths, and thew
have no more to do with true labor
organizations than do the Malta in
New Orleans with any benevolent
secret society. The men under me
belong to the Western Federation
OF Miners. Their number is 66.
They are composed of as true, and
liberty loving class of people as any
organization in Idaho. When they
are stamped as criminals in Wash
1ngton either by the Governor or
his putty-self-moulded- afraid
of-nothing, it is time to call halt.
For one, if Governor Steunenberg
or Deputy Governor Sinclair have
political monuments On account of
their permit system in North Idaho
I am willing that they stand on
them; if they have political graves
I am going to help fill them, and
and after reading the Examiner I
bought scoop shovel"
The foregoing is taken from the
Owyhee AValanche Of April 9th.
We rather suspect that Governor
Steunenberg has not been accurate
1y reported by the San Francisco
Examiner. It is not probable that
he testified that all labor unions were
criminal organizations. However,
few interesting points are brought
out. The Governor selected Bart
lett Sinclair to represent him in the
Occur d A1enes because he consid-
cred Bartlett more competent man
than Lieutenant Governor Hutchin-
son. This naturally raises the
question, More competent for what?
We would like to place the PROPOSE
ton before the people of Idaho: If
you were going to select one Of the
two men, Hutchinson or Sinclair,
for a manly, honorable work,
requiring sound sense, integrity and
discrimination, which would you
choose? Mr.. Hutchinson stands
before you as a thorough and strict
" conscientious business mana
man who by industry, intelligence
and honesty has won his way III the
world, an employer of men and a
respecter of honest toll. Where,
let us ask, does this man Sinclair
stand? Go to his former home, in
quire among the people who know
him best, look into the court records,
and after a careful and just lnvestl-
| CATION, ask yourselves which Of the
two men you would employ if you
had a most questionable piece ol
work to do? When Governor
Steunenberg deliberately ignored
Lieutenant Governor Hutchinson
and put forward Bartlett Sinclair
it was done for purpose III Whlcf
the state of his excellency's health
had no part. 1t is not for the IR1
BUNE to say what that purpose was
but it is a subject upon which we
have always entertained pronounced
opinions. In this connection 1t Il
not out of place to say that w
honestly sympathize with Mr.
Hutchinson. He must feel mos
keenly the reflection contained II

selected Sinclair to perform an i'm
portant public service because o

An Aquarium.

Why any one should ever have de-
is n mystery. The view Of fish. except
when nicely grilled, or when suspend
cd at the end Of fishing line. is one
of the most uninteresting of sights.
The other animals when In confine-
ment display traits which are more
or less interesting. The lion has a
sense Of humor and displays it in the
most pleasing way when he devourS
the lion tam:r who has entered too
often into his cage. The bear. in his
thirst for buns, seems so much like
the human boy that the spectator CT
his antics frequently feels an irreslst-
ble desire to hit him with n stick.
But the fish has not a single interest
ing trait He Will swim around the
tank in which he is confined with q
persistence which is maddening to the
nervous spectator. He never engages
in Il genuine fight. but contents him
self With an occasional surrcptitious
bite of all cnemy's TAIL which gives 10
true satisfaction to the beholder. II
he happens to b. large snake thinly
disguised as an eel. or an octopus. or
some other alarmingly ugly fish. he Will
sometimes swim directly at the glass
through which the visitor is looking
1T him. and thereby give the latter
momentary sensation of horror. but
the average fish cares nothing for the
public and treats his visitors with
calm contempt An aquarium with
out fish. like seashore resort without
the sea. is unobjectionable, but an
aquarium with real water and real
fish is the dreariest object in nature.

STORM'S HAVOC IN ALABAMA.
Unprecedented Rainfall Causes Loss
of Life and Property.

A dispatch from BIRMINGHAM Ala SAYS:
rainfall of almost seven inches in twen-
ty-four hours-the heaviest on record in
Alabama-has done great damage to prop
erty and caused several fatalities. Among
the victims of the storm was the Rev. o.
B. Wilson, superintendent of Stillman Insti-
tute, a Presbyterian college for the educa-
ton of colored preachers. He was struck
by lightning while at the telephone and in
stantly killed.
In Wills valley, Wills creek overfiowed its
bounds, and the house of Jacob Restler,
containing himself. his wife and five chill
dren. was carried down the creek Restler
and his wife and oldest child escaped, but
two children. aged two and four years.
were drowned. Their bodies have not been
recovered.
Village creek near Birmingham over
flowed its bounds and many negroes saved
their lives and those of their families by
swimming and improvising hasty rafts. Two
children were drowned.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad the
Alabama Great Southern, the Southern, the
Mineral and the Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham had numerous washouts, and
were all compelled to annul trains.
At Bangor Cave and Blount Springs the
Louisville and Nashville was five feet under
water. All trains on the Alabama Great
Southern had to make transfers of passen-
gers at several points and were from six to
eight hours late. The same state of affairs
exists other roads. Many short lines
have no trains running at all.
The water works reservoir at Bessemer
broke its bounds and submerged all the in
dustries of the lower portion of the city.
Fires were quenched in the big pipe works
and other plants. Williamson and North
Birmingham blast furnaces had to bank
fires on account of the overflow.
Dozens of coal mines in the Birmingham
district were filled with water. The mines
at Pratt City, Belle Ellen, Brookwood.
Horse Creek and numerous other places
have closed down until they can be drained.
All the suburban street car lines were
embarrassed and some suspended opera
uonS.
Reports of disaster continue to come in,
but owing to the fact that telegraph lines
are down, many points where the flood is
known to have been severest have not been
heard from. 1t will take the mines, fur
naces and mills week to resume regular
operation.
The entire town of Northport, in Tusca-
loosa county. is under water and cut of
from telegraphic communication. Several .
fatalities occurred.

Philadelphia and Richmond Capital
lists After Big Contracts.
The Philadelphia Press of today says:
On the steamship New York, which will
sail from New York for Southampton Eng
land. today, are embarked two passengers
whose mission to Eudope. If successful.
will bring another notable victory to Yam
kee skill and ingenuity and American
finance.
The representatives of the American cap
italsts are E. F. Walker of the firm of
Isaac A. Walker & Son, contractors, Ste
phen .Girard building, Philadelphia. and
Colonel ]. H. McLeary of Richmond, Va
These two passengers go representa-
tives of well-known capitalists and con-
tractors of Philadelphia and Richmond.
Va. The aim of their transatlantic voyage
is the securing of contract of no less mag
nitude than the building of a railroad to
traverse more than half the Russian en-
pire from north to south.
This great transrussan railroad Is pro-
jected to reach from St. Petersburg on the
north to Odessa. on the Black sea, at the
empire.
The representatives of the American
financiers go to Europe instructed to pledge
bonds for any amount of money necessary
to secure the contract. and that means
sum beyond the comprehension Of the ordi-
nary mind. for it is understood that to lay
down the new railroad will cost upward OF
$90OOO,OOO.
On the military side the new railroad will
have a notable influence on the peace of
Europe. Russian railroads are owned by
the government. They are, in effect, great
routes Of transportation for Russia's tre-
mendous army. The pressing need of the
cars government to have a means of
rapid movement Of troops to the Turkish
frontier is known. and this new railroad
from the Muscovite capital to its chief
southern city is projected to meet that de-
mand.
1t is proposed to rush the new railroad
through with all possible speed. Two years
placed as the probable time for the
completion of this stupendous industrial
operation. Americas well-known reputa-
ton for rapid, and at the same time SUBJ
stantial. methods of construction will. it
is believed, operate to give the American
bidders a considerable advantage over their
European competitors.
Besides American skill, the riches of
American mines and American mills will
go into the construction of this great Rus
sian railroad, for the Philadelphia and
Richmond capitalists will use American MA
terial in the building of the new line.

A dispatch from Boston last night says:
The perfunctory work of naming delegates
to the Massachusetts, state convention next
month. which will select presidential electors
and delegates at large to the republican
national convention. was enlivened in many
city and town caucuses tonight by express
sions of Endorsement of Secretary of the
Navy Longs vice presidential candidacy.
Especially was this the rule in towns
around Boston, but there was no express
sion of preference for the presidential can

Senator Chiffon Withdraws From the
Race in Texas.

A dispatch from Austin. Tex. says that
political circles there were greatly surprised
by the announcement that Senator Horace
Chiffon had Withdrawn from the United
States senatorial race. leaving Representa-
tive Joseph Bailey a clear field. Senator
Chiltons withdrawal is based upon ILL
health and an inability to make a canvass
of the state. .
Representative Bailey carried Travis
county, in which the state capital is To-
Gated, in the race for senator by about
1,200 majority. Primaries held within the
last week or two in about a dozen counties
had given Bailey lead in the race.
The announcement of Senator ChiIton's
withdrawal was made by his campaign
manager.

The board of naval construction has fur
tfer considered the plans for the three new
battleships authorized by the last Congress.
The latest discussion turned largely on the
character of the battery to be provided for
the ships. A suggestion was talked over
that instead of four turrets at the corners
of the superstructure carrying eightinch
guns, the same number of seven-inch guns
be provided, set within the citadel and with
out turrets. The plan has the merit of
novelty and will be further considered

BAKED ALIVE TO ESCAPE DEATH.
Successful Experiment With a New
Treatment for Disease in Bellevue


Treatment for Disease in Bellevue.
From the New York World today.
Being purely a scientific treatment IL is
called "spraguing.' but a plan-spoken lay
man would call the process baking" and
the apparatus an oven, inasmuch as suffer
ing human beings are placed in it. all ex-
cept the heads, and made to endure a tenn
perature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Inc nrst experiment was made yesterday
IT Bellevue Hospital i'll the presence of
many of the most distinguished physicians
in the city.
The patient was DR.. John II. Sullivan of
No 2O3 East 25th street, and the trouble he
wishes to be rid of is acute articular rheu-
n.atism Many other diseases. including
pneumonia. bronchitis. gout, athritis heart
disease, Brights disease. Iockjaw hydro
phobia and obesity is this apparatus, called
the ''Sprague," after A " M Sprague its
inventor. expected to cure.
The apparatus consists of steel cylinders
which inclose the body, arms and legs. The
cylinders have Innings Of copper. brass and
nickel, asbestos ribs of cork asbestos-treat-
ed wood and cotton drilling
Burners with bog smokestacks supply the
neat, and there are many tubes through
which fresh superheated air is drawn in
and the perspiration-laden air driven out.
The Sprague was set up in the Sturgis
pavilion, and Dr. Sullivan readily agreed
to become the first victim. The burners
were lighted. The temperature mounted
with great rapidity. When Dr. Sullivan
was experiencing temperature of 400 de-
gTees 1t was thought sufficient.
Cold, wet cloths were kept on DR.. Sulli-
vans head and he was given a sip of water
every few minutes. After forty minutes
of this baking he was taken out. rolled in
heavy blankets and laid on a padded table
Fifteen minutes later muscular nurses gave
him Swedish massage.
All the physicians, including DR.. Sullivan,
declared that the experiment was COM
pletely successful. and that the apparatus
will revolutionize the treatment of certain
diseases.
DIR. George l.. KeSSler of Brooklyn reports
a case of a patient weighing 21S pounds
being reduced to $50 pounds in fifteen min
utes by the Sprague. He has remained at
the latter weight ever since.
