Calls sheldon An IdeaIist.

Rev. G. c. Davis, of the Christian
church, of Davenport, who a week
before had turned his pulpit over to
the newspaper men, that they might
size up Sheldon's paper for the benefit
of his congregation, Sunday eveniny
talked back to them through the me-
dunn of an excellent sermon. "Shel-
don is an idealist, as every preacher
must be to a certain degree, de-
clared the Christian church pastor,
"but his paper was only a small part
of his ideal. 1t may not fill our ideal,
and undoubtedly did not completely
set forth his own, as a weeks effort,
circumscribed by conditions that in
themselves were far from ideal. must
have left the result far from satisfac-
tory even to Mr.. Sheldon

They Want Their Customers to
Join Them.

Portland, Aug. 27.-It is now a con-

witnessed on any street. Each travel
ing man will be decked out in linen
buster, wearing white crush hat with
blue ribbon band and carrying an
umbrella. There will be at least 1000
of them in line. There will also be
numerous floats, each representing the
different centuries, from the 18th to
the present date, with elaborate cos
tunes suited for the occasion. They
will also show the different methods
by which they travel, including the
pack mule, stage coaches, buckboards,
freight trains and Pullman cars. The
hotel Accommodations which they have
to contend with will not be left out of
this parade. 1t is the desire of the
travellers and also of the houses they
represent, that all OF their customers
and friends be present that day so they
can see the travelling man in his every
day trials, showing both the good and
bad of their trips. The boys are max
ing special preparations to treat their
customers and friends in royal way.

HuntingtOn's Art Collection.

The late c. P. Huntlngton's art col

he bought an "old master" for 100000.
In his collections are paintings by
Meissonier, Millet, Troyon, Rosa Bon
heur, Rousseau, Sir Frederick Leigh
ton and Landseer. One part Of his col
lection is series of pictures of Roman
Catholic prelates from popes to bish-
ops, for which he paid $4,000 francs.
His gallery contains also many of Gus
tave Dore's works. Fine tapestries
were always sought by Mr.. Huntington.
One piece now in his home as por-

There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the eustach-
Ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness Is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

REPUBLIC.

The winze at the Quilp mine is down
295 feet below the tunnel level, with
the bottom in country rock.
The San Poll Company is sinking a
winze on the vein below the adit level,
35 or 40 feet south of the cross-cut tun-
mel.
The news that Wauconda camp is to
have large milling plant in the near
future has aroused increased interest
in that section.
The Rebate tunnel was reported in
800 feet yesterday, but the ledge had
not been struck when the informant
left the mine.
Five men are working on the Flag
Hill. One crew is sinking shaft and
another is running a cross-cut to catch
the east ledge from the tunnel.
Superintendent Matt Hodges of the
Princess Maud states that the ledge
in the north drift from the bottom of
the 2OO-foot Wine is five feet wide.
Frank Gauthier, superintendent of
the Golden Harvest mine, says that the
Golden Harvest tunnel is now in $50
feet, with three feet of quartz in the
face.
Everything in and about the Tom
Thumb mine is in excellent shape.
Nothing could work better than the
machinery, saving considerable time,
which is an important item.
The Ben Hur mas closed down. How
long it will remain closed is unknown.
The raise from the 23O-foot level has
been connected with the winze from
the 115-foot level. In the drift in both
levels the ore body is looking well and
is said to be of good value. The prop
erty is regarded as one of the coming
mines of the camp and can be made a
regular producer in very short time
if the management so elects.
A deal of much Importance to the Re-
public area is announced. The sale of
half interest in the Wauconda, in
Wauconda camp, has attracted much
interest among mining men. By the
deal the Rossman company OF Mime
apolis secures half interest in the
mine and in return gives $4,000 in
cash, providing ample capital for rapid
and extensive development, and will
erect treatment plant that is to cost
about 100000 and that will treat 100
tons of ore per day,

Mining Notes and PersSnals.

The smelter trust, which controls the
lead market of the United States, has
established fiat rate of 81 per hun
dred pounds for that product for the re-
mainder of the year. This rate applies
to all the product of the northwest. 1t
is considerable advance over the price
paid earlier in the year, and as such is
particularly gratifying to the owners
of the large lead-producing mines in
the Occur d'Alenes. One reason for the
advance may be found in the fact that
the United States is now absorbing the
entire domestic product and uses in
addition over 100000 pounds per
annum of imported lead.
