Not n Candidate.

Police Judge j. T. Stafford is not a
candidate for minority representative
from the Thirty-third senatorial dis
trict. While appreciating in the
highest sense the great honor that
has been done him in the mention
and consideration of his name 10 that
connection. he desires the statement
made that he has never thought of
striving for the nomination, and could
not under any circumstances consent

NEEDED,
Fire and Police Alarm Facilities
i'm Business Section Are
inadequate.
SHOULD ADOPT AUTOMATIC BOX.

A Convenience That Can he Operated
That Has Been Adopted In Many Cities
Toe Removal of the Box From Seven
teenth Street.
The removal from Second avenue and
Seventeenth street of the police and
fire alarm box, which was transferred
to the southeast portion of the city.
for the purpose of furnishing better
protection to that locality, has left the
business section without adequate ia
cilities for sending in an alarm, and
the suggestion is now made that in
the business section of the city there
should be provided alarm boxes that
not only operate automatically but
open automatically, so that any
one desiring to send in police or
fire call may do so without run
ming all over the block in search
of a key with which to open
the box. While the purpose in
changing the location of the Seven
teenth street box was undoubtedly
good, the business portion of the city
should not be left in the condition it
is in now, in regard TO alarm stations.
OF course there are various place
open day and night having telephones
which can be used in cases of emerg-
ency, but verybody don't know
where these telephones are located,
and a fire would probably have done a
great amount of damage before an in
strument could be found through
which to send word to the fire depart
ment or police station.
10 Use in Other Cities.
In the majority of cities that have
attained the size of Rock Island, and
larger. the automatic alarm box has
come into general use, being placed
on a conspicuous corner, where it
will not be tempered with. Rock ISL

placing three of them on Second ave-

Our Grazing Lands.

In addition to the burden OF the gold
bill, the Republicans of Idaho will be
called upon to support the proposition
TO turn our grazing lands over to the
meat trusts, remarks the Blackfoot
News. Senator Warren of Wyoming,
and Congressman Mondell OF Wyo-
ming, both Republicans, have intro
duced bills in Congress to lease our
grazing lands. II this is done, Ar
mour & Co., Swift & Co., Cudahy &
Co, and Hammond & Co., propose to
form great live stock trust associa-
ton and control the live as we'll as the
dressed meat market of the countr y
The Idaho Stockgrowers' Association
opposes it, but the Republican party
favors it. The Republican party is in
power now, and some pretty active
work must be done if this proposition
is to be defeated

Pine Grove Piacers.

The development work that has
been done on the Pennsylvania placer
at Pine, Elmore county, has demon
strated that it is one OF the greatest
avel deposits in the United States.
Tie company has done large amount
OF this development work, having ex-
pended nearly $4,000 for the purpose
OF proving the value of the property.
This company owns 5000 acres OF
land, 2000 acres Of which is found to
be channel gravel. This gravel is
from GO to 80 feet in depth and is ali
pay. The tests SO far made give an
average value Of 30 cents per cubic
yard. The property would be very
profitable if the gravel were OF only
half that value. There are lew bould
ers found in the gravel, practically
none that will not go through the
sluice boxes. The property is to be
opened up this spring at two points.
The company has large water supply
and will be able to conduct operations
on very broad scale.-Statesman

Kentucky Situation.

The latest dispatches indicate
that Gov. Taylor and his cowardly
hired assassins have been refused
assistance by Mckinley and they
are now becoming more reasonable
in their demands. Hence there is
some prospect of a peaceable ad-
justment of the political troubles in
Kentucky. The radical change in
Taylor's revolutionary plans was
doubtless brought about by a tele-
gram from the Kentucky Republi-
can Senator Deboe to Taylor, in
which he said: "The unanimous
sentiment here is that you are
wrong" and also says that Taylor
can get no assistance from Washing

Cape Nome Placers.

A correspondent writes as follows
to Seattle paper of the Cape Nome,
Alaska, beach Ilacers:
"The fields are entirely free to gold
seekers, that is nobody can claim a
location by pre-emption, because the
United States Government reserves it
for highway from low-water mark,
and the sand is so rich that you can
see the gold. Last summer | was in
the interior when this beach strike
was made, and in two months time
there were 1900 people working side
Ivy side for ten miles up the coast on
that strip OF sand. 1t was very COM
mon for man to take out S25 day.
| saw $3.50 taken out Of cubic yard
OF sand, and reports Of much richer
ground can be substantiated. 1t is
hard to believe, but it is really so, and
the ease with which this wealth can
be secured IS astonishing.
"No elaborate machinery is neces-
sary; simply soap box converted in.
to rocker is enoagh, the sand being
sifted on blankets. You hold your To-
cation by occupation and you work it
out in week or SIS then you can
take up another piece. The beach
last summer was worked in three lat.
erial lines, and the Il wor line of holes
(nearest the tide) proved to be the rich
est, although the most difficult to work
on account of the water flowing into
the hole at every tide. / have vivid
recollection of having worked hard all
the week stripping the ground and
getting ont mp pay dirt and piling it
up securely, only to see the tide come
up over night to an unusual height
and wash my big pileaway. The only
consolation | have is | don't know
how much | lost.
"The gold is bought on the erou nd
by trading companies at SIG an ounce
Next season the beach mining will be
carried on by machinery, and for ten
miles you will see nothing but steam
engines.
"Nome is in direct communication
with Seattle, the steamers touching
there twelve days out. Thus there
will be plenty Of stores and provisione

per day. Some Of the sluces on the
creek were turning out 81 900 per dav,

Taylor's Insurrection.

| In view of the fact that the armed
mob in possession of Frankfort is
Taylor's gang, one Of whom undoubt-
eddy shot Goebel, the Republican gov
ernor's proclamation declaring "a
state of instruction" in Kentucky
reads like an a,raignment of himself
and his cowardly crowd
There is no record of any insurrec-
ton except his own-no shot had been
fired when the proclamation was is.
sued, save from the building in which
he and his friends were stationed, no
body had been hurt or shot but his
political adversary-then why didn't
Mr.. Taylor quietly advise his mob to
adjourn and dispense himself without
spelling sheet OF paper and allixing
the seal OF the commonwealth to the
terrible document
BY all means if Taylor and the Tay
lorites want To get out of civilization
and go up among the feud cursed hills

go. But members OF The legislature
should not be compelled to carry their
lives in their hands to the hotbed OF

GOV. GoEBEL DEAD
Governor Goebel died at Frankfort
last Saturday evening The hundredth
chance that existed for his recovery
passed about noon that day. The as
sassin had done his work thoroughly.
Governor Goebel was strong char
acter, a typical Kentucky statesman,
"a public man of unusual influence and
abili y. He was born in Pennsylvania
however about 40 years ago-but from
childhood his home was in Covingtnn,
Ky. He was self'educated and a self
made man in every way, Governor
Stephenson took him as IA law partner
while very young man, because of
his force, energy, talents and hal its,
which were ali excellent. After Mr.
Stephenson's death he form ed "a part
nershlp with Carlisle, at that time the
heading lawyer of the state. For If
years he served his const tuency AS
state senator, which position he held
when elected governor. As an organ
izer his genius has been acknowl
edged in all parties and factions; but
as lawyer he shone to the best adj
vantage. Ex-Governor John Young
Brown said OF him not long ago "Mr.
Goebel can put more IN a twenty-five
law brief than almost any other law
yer in Kentucky can express in three
pages OF foolscap."
The loss OF such a man can not help
being serious blow to Kentucky, not
alone because OF the eowardly and dis
graceful manner in which his death
was planned and brought about, but
because of h worth to the common
wealth aud because of the need it has
for strong men and brave men to face
the crisis it has reaehed.-Sait Lake
Herald.
