A correspondent of the DEMocRAr's
from Mclean post Office writes that
new town hall and other improvements
are being pushed down there despite the
cold weather. Property owners there
are brushing up generally, the impress
sion being that railroad will strike that

supposltion on the fact that the ct,
Northern will build spur out from the
Cavalier and Walhalla line to the cement
works, which is located close by.

expected to live. The rest OF the family
escaped without clothes to the stable

London, March 11.-Shamrock day
promises to vie with Primrose day in
the hearts of the people, judging from
the enthusiasm with which, for the first
time in the history OF the nation, 10y
aIists all over the United Kingdom
celebrated. From Windsor castle,
where the queen observed the day by
wearing a sprig of genuine four-leaved
shamrock, to the east end of the slums
of London, nearly every one showed
something in the shape of green ia
vor. A word from her majesty has
turned the embed of diSloyalty into
a badge of honor and has made the
shamrock the most priced of all the
plants in the British isles.

COEUR D'ALENE INVESTIGATION.
Testimony Before House Committee as
to Conduct Of the Soldiers.

Washington, March 1.-THE Occur
d'Alene investigation was continued
before the house committee on military
affairs today. Allan F. Gill, Of Spo-
kane, Washington, a mechanical engi-
neer, was placed on the stand by Mr.
Lentz. He testified that he heard Ma
jor Morten order some Of his troops to
break into his (Gills) house. The SOL
diers broke in the door. He noticed
other instances Of a similar character.
He testified to general rude and harsh
treatment suffered by the arrested
miners at the hands Of the troops. The
only distur bance made in Burke that
day was the disturbance created by
the soldiery. There was no necessity
for the soldiers, he said, as civil pro-
cess could have been served. In his
opinion the advent Of the military de-
feated the ends OF justice.
