Heavy Insurance Losses.

The fire underwriters Of the country
have been passing through times Of
sorrow and bitterness. At the annual
;; meeting Of the national board held In
this city few days ago the reports
were not Of joyous and sanguine
kind. The official figures showed
that the fire losses in the United
States in 1899 amounted to $l53, ,597, :
$50. This startling sum surpassed by
more than S23, 1000, 900 the total Of
1893. and by more than $37, 900, 900
that Of 1897. In this State alone th,
figures rose to $S5, ,727 1885, exceeding
the amount in 1893 by more than
$14, 100000. Insurance men feel dis
turbed and disheartened over ravages of
this sort. 1t ought to be possible to
enforce 80 effective precautions among
the owners and guardians of insured
property that the destruction by fire
hereafter shall fall much below the
amounts now chronicled.. Itis admit
ted by broad minded and candid ex-
perts that the competition among the
companies has been carried to excess,
and that in the fierce struggle for
business the interests of the stock
holders and the principles of sound
management havo been too frequently
disregarded. .-Ne,o York Tribune.

: Somewhere about 1850 died Mr..
Francis Withers, one of our leading
rice planters of that time. Thirty
years prior to that event he placed
two samples Of rice, dressed and pol
ished for market at his own water
mill, in his two secretaries, one in
each. These pieces of furniture were
made, one Of mahogany, the other of
India Pride Wood. There they re.
mained until the old gentleman 8
death. Upon being taken out by his
executors, the late DR.. James r.
Sparkman and the late Francis w.
Heriot, the sample from the India
Pride secretary was found in perfect
condition, while that from the ma
hogany was a parcel Of dust, having
been destroyed by oinsects. This
story was related to me by one Of the
aforenamed executors. The late Mr.
l. Il. Ford was in the habit of keep

Wheeler's Highest Ambition.

Washington, May 15.-Special:
Gen. Joe Wheeler has relieved the
anxiety Of his constituents in the 9Th
Alabama district by giving them for
NAL notice that he will not be candid
ate for recollection to Congress this fall.
He had already announced that he
would not be candidate for the short
term created by the refusal OF Spea kcr
Henderson to recognize his ere dem
tials as long as he held a commission
in the volunteer army, and who even
went 30 far as to declare that his re-
signation Of that commission made no
difference, 30 long as he was holding
his commission at the time Congress
convened. A good many lawyers in
CQngrcss-better lawyers than the
Speaker-believe that Gen. Henderson
had no right to assume the response
bility for keeping Wheeler out of Con-
gress, but the Speaker is a Scotchman
with scotch head, and, having made
up his min! one way, refused to change
it.
This statement by Gen. Wheeler is
equivalent to the announcement that
President Mckinley has given him
definite promise that he is to be given
commission in the regular army. It
is well known that this has been Gen.
Whecler's 8 greatest ambition. Such
step will round out his career, MAX
ing it in many respects the most uni
que in American history. Educated
at West Point, he was an officer in
the regular army when the civil war
broke out. How he followed his State
and became the brilliant cavalry leader
Of the Confederacy is history with
which everybody, Of course, is familiar.
For man who was prominent Con-
federate leader to have won fresh
lauries while wearing the blue in Cuba
and the Philippines. and then to
round out his career as geneal officer
in the regular army-it is indeed uni
que. He is one man Of seventy-Gye
millions.
Gen. Wheeler believes that he 10
the only officer of the Confederaoy
who saw actual fighting and had part
10 it during the war with Spain, and
he believes further, that he is the
only man who was general command
ing tEoops in the civil war, the war in
Cuba and the war in the Philippines.
Is he right? He is certainly the only
former Confederate to attain to such
distinction and it is very likely that
no other man in the United States can
show such record.
His ambition to round out his ca
reer in the regular army is easily un-
derstood when these things are con-
sidered. He could keep on going to
Congress as long as he chose and there
is no certainty that when he is on the
list Of the army he will net again get
into politics.

The Washington correspondent
Of the Chicago Record writes: "Chief
Joseph, Of the Nes Peroes, admins
tered rebnke to sectarian controver-
sialists the other day. He is one OF
the noblest OF Indians and he's neve.
done q dishonorable act. With o
handful OF braves he fought the entire
United States army all ono summer,
but aimee his surrender Ch;ef Jessph
has strictly kept the letter and the
terms he made with the Government.
He is now here trying to induse the
Government to fulfill its pledges.
Chief Joseph wants school houses
but he does not want churches cn his
reservation, and when asked to explain
why, he replied that he feared the
ministers would teach his people to
quarrel about God. we quarrel about
men sometimes b. said, but We never
quarreled about T. Great Spirit. We
worship Him, but we never quarrel
about Him."

was 30 weak that the pistoleer was ad :.
vised not to discharge his weapon un-
til he could place the muzzle of the
pistol CLOSE to the body of the enemy
under the ouirass, if possible-as
then he would be sure not to waste
ais powder.

Stuart the Terminus.

w. e. Travis, superintendent of
the Lewiston stage line, was in
town last week in company with
Col. Boggs, of Boise. Mr.. Travis
is looking over the situation with
the view of making some highly
important changes as soon as the
Clearwater Seort Line railroad is
completed to Stuart, and informed
the FREE PRESS that as soon as the
regular passenger schedule was in
operation he intended transferring
the entire equipment now in use
on the stage line between Lewis
ton and Mt. Idaho to growing
Grangeville, and putting on a
passenger service between Grange
vile and Stuart, and making the
round trip each lay. AS the dis
tance is only Is miles this an
easily be done. Mr.. Travis also
said that the arrangements for
bringing the Camas Prairie mail
from Lewiston to Stuart were al
ready made, and the new service
would give US our mail one day
quicker than on the present stage
schedule. He has also arranged
with the railroad people to estab-
lish ticket agency here whereby
travellers can buy tickets to any
and all points Oh the railroad lines
east or west without a cent oil
additional cost. He thinks thai
the road to Stuart is going to be o.
enormous benefit to Camas Prairi,
by inducing people to come an,

Lewiston. The railroad peopl

Dewey in the neighborhood of the
Michael ranch. About q score of
men left Grangeville yesterday
morning on horseback for the
scene of the new strike and at noon
yesterday Mt. Idaho was almost
completely deserted; however,
we have no authentic inform alton
at this time.
LATER:-There seems to be a
misunderstanding as to where the
strike referred to was really made.
In fact an important discovery
was made OH Michaels ranch
about Il miles northeast Of the
Dewey and number of claims
have been located. On the origi-
nal location the rock just UNDER
lying the capping and closely
resembling the Dewey has given
the handsome returns of $50 in
gold and copper values. Another
strike was made the same day two
miles south of the Dewey in line
with the Mountain Queen and
near Bearings ranch. Gus.
Schultz and partner made this
discovery and located lie Roi Nos.
l and2, War Eagle Nos. l and 9,
and the Last Chance. Two assays
from the lie Roi cappings gave
respectively $9OS and $25.O5 in
gold and copper mining values.
Mr.. Schultz says that these veins
are on contact and well defined
and that development work will
be pushed with all haste.
The new basket ferry has been
installed just below the Dewey on
the south fork. 1t was tested
Sunday, three men making the
initial trip together. The ferry

PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE-
BAATED PIPPIN APPLE CIDER.

This pure cider is served on steamers on
the American line, and at the Waldorf-As-
toria and leading family grocers in New
York city
Pauldings Pippin cider is made from
the pure juice OF hand picked apples from
his own mill ON the premises 1t is abso-
lutely pure apple juice, and all the effer-
vescence is natural. and we guarantee il
to be the choicest cider in the world.
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients its perfect purity is guaranteed.
In Paulding's Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newton's Pippins are used. The ap-
pies are left on the trees until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed In a dry room to riDen.
Paulding says ''the apples are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks" The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great.
You will know the difference between
crushed apples and ground apples If you
take some stems and chew them, you will
ind that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness of the Russet
cider, and everyone Will find the Pauld-
