THE CHRISTIAN HANDSHAKE.
There is in an honest and Christian
handshake a thrill of gospel electricity.
You take part Of his trouble and he
takes part of your jubilance. In that
way you divide up anxietieS and con-
gratulationS. The main trunk line Of
that h~andshake has branches of bless
ed biography right down to both hearts
n up to o heads, and you both get
the message the same instant. Take
off the glove when you shake hands,
for that glove puts the hide Of a kid
between the palm of your hand and the
palm of his hand, and that animals
hide is a nonconductor of this gospel
electricity. Do not grip the bone Of
the forefinger and the bone of the lit
tie finger with a crushing power that
puts one into a severe suffering which
many of us have experienced from
those who are more brutes than men.
Take the hand gently, reasonably.
heartily and know that God ordered
that form of s~alutation. That is one
important thing hat the hand was
made for. You a see the indications
in its shape and eQuipment-the four
fingers to take your neighbor's hand
on one side, and the thumb to take ii
on the other. and the forearm 80 swung
that you can easily draw it toward
you.
OF course there is a wicked shaking
of hands, and Solomon refers to II
when he says. Though hand join
in hand, the wicked shall not be un-

Constable Gorby.

Ihe motion to retax costs in the
suit OF |. A. Heron VS.. John Hard
err came up last week in the Pro.
bate Court for hearing, the motion
being based on the ground that r
ID. Gorby the officer who executed
the process in the suit was not a lie.
gally acting constable Of Glenn's
Ferry precinct. The only evidence
offered in the support of the motion
was an affidavit Of the defendant
alleging facts Of which he was
"credibly informed and believed"
Attorney Sinnott objected to such
evidence as hearsay, and also not
being the best evidence, Mr.. Gorby's
official character being a matter of
public record, and no transcript Of
same being filed to contradict Mr..
Gorby's claim To the office. The
plaintiffs counsel further contend
ed that the Probate Court had no
jurisdiction in matter where any
person is charged with acting as an
officer without authority of law, it
being District Court case under
quo warranto proceedings.
The court sustained the objection
and denied the motion, and execu-
ton for plaintiffs demand and
costs, as set forth in judgment rem
dered, was issued.
Verify Mountain Home is we'll
''policcd,' and they are the right
kind of material. There are no
"iohnny-come-latelies" among
them foisted upon the people by
the powers that be.
In answer to any criticism on the
opinion of county attorney Sinnott
in the matter OF Mr.. Gorby's olfici-
al character, in all matters of law
referred to him, his opinion has
been sustained by the Attorney
General. During his three terms
as a magistrate, his decisions when
appealed from to the higher courts
have been sustained.
In this case, Sinnott holds that
Gorby is an officer, the court holds
so, and Bob holds that he is an Of
tieer de-fac-to, at any cost, and
that he means to be paid for his
services and will pocket the fee, de

Reward Offered.

II
| Il was shown last week to the
board Of county commissioners that
there is probable cause to believe
that Frank Koeningen, a sheep
owner, who formerly lived in this
county aud had a small band of
sheep while here, and who mysteri-
ously disappeared in fhe fall of
1895, was murdered or otherwise
foully dealt with, the board request
ed the advice OF the county attor-
ney on its right to order a suitable
reward for information that will
lead TO the arrest and conviction of
the perpetrators Of the crime, if
committed. The county attorney
filed his opinion in writing that by
virtue Of subdivision % of sec.
1859 of our statutes, The board has
such right. Tho board then or
dered that a reward of $500 be Of
fered for any such information,
payable on the conviction OF the
parties concerned in the commits
sion of the crime.

The POcatenO Conventions.

The editor of the BULLETIN was
at the Democratic State convention
as delegate for the first three DAYS
OF its session, and delayed the issue
OF the BULLETIN this week with
the hope of giving at least portion
OF the ticket But we are disap-
pointed in this respect, owing to the
slow progress made in the three con-
ventions towards fusion and the al
lotment Of offices.
x. |. Perky of Elmore was chosen
temporary chairman of the demo-
cratic convention, and made an ell
oquent and earnest talk that was
received with great enthusiasm.
j. h. Wickersham was chosen sec
rotary.
W. II. Watt of Blaine was elected
permanent chairman.
The regular, or Wood delega ton
from Shoshone county, was seated
by vote of 122 to 112 thereby sit
ting down on Steunenberg. On this
vote the Gilmore delegation stood
= for the regular and one for the
Steunenberg delegation--R p. Chat
TN, state sheep inspector, holding
the proxy of John Boyle of Rocky
Bar, miner and union labor man.
The Gilmore delegation should have
been unanimous against the dam
nable permit system" of Steunen-
berg, and would have been unani

person.
MI. Perky is already considered
among the ablest men in the con-
vention, and is representing faith

Yesterday evening the Demo
cratic convention voted against
naming a candidate for United
States Senator by a vote of 125 to

The Germans.

Every influential German newspa-

posing Mckinley's reelection. The
Chicago Record has been printing in
terview and letters from prominent
Germans throughout the United State,
Tor several months. Invariably they
are pronounced against imperialism
Without Il notable exception they con
slder this the paramount issue. And
the Record, itself supporter OF the
Mckinley administration, comments
upon this attitude Of German-Ameri.
cans everywhere as follows:
German antagonism to imperial
ism and militarism is natural enough.
Many II not most Of the Germans in
America left Germany because of a
dislike OF military methods. Indeed,
the Germans who emigrated from the
iatherlaad TO America may be said to
be a selection Of that element of Ger
man manhood to whom the military
methods Of the imperial government
Were most hateful. The part the Ger
man-Americans played in our civil
war proved though, that they were

AN ANTARCTIC OASIS.
A Queer Discovery Made During Che
 Recent Expedition.

Recent Expedition
 Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described in the Century for January by Mir. Fred eriek A. Cock of Brooklyn, whose arti- cle Is very fully illustrated. An oasis in snowy wilderness" is the phrase he employs in characterizing a certain bit of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown regicn before us while enshrouded in mist, We drew near prominent mocn- tain peak to make de5arkment. The ,Ifff was perpendicular cliff, free of snow to the seashofe. It was one of lumber extending far into the south~ east, as We learned on the following iay. We made a debarkment at it's 3ase. Here was life in profusion, as indeed there was on every rock where life could gain a footing The noise tr0m the birds, which re-eehoed from cliff to cliff, was deafening The lower rocks were lined with snoring and gfunting sea-leopards. Columns of Yapor rose above the water. followed 6y :, hiss like that of steam engine, and a seeonG later the blue back Of whale, with it's long fin and ponderous tail dashed the water into foamy whirlpool The great wall of land-ice rose to each side of the black cliff, which gave us a shelf as a landing place, From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of a cannon, which were followed by a splash and eommotion in the water. With such reports parts of tue wall would cons stantly break away and fall into a miI- lion pieces. streWing the water with small fragments of ice, but not with ieebergs Above us rose a cliff to an altitude of about 2,000 feet, out from this were projecting mantel-like rocks, which served as resting places for the eormorants and sea-gulls Here the young ones, dressed in gray down, eoaxed their mothers for food. We ex- 9eeted to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below, but such an accident rarely hap pened. Our greatest surprise here was the discovery of large quantities Of moss and liehens. which gave the spot an unexpected appearance of yegeta- ble life and color. After seeing noth- ing but ice and black rocks for so many days, this sight of green and brown and red amid an endless expanse of icy desert was a great relief It Waa fss ss@s&s 1s --.'l s~7s.

FINE COFFEE CROP.
Peculiar Way in Which the Natives
 Prepare the Bean.

Coffee is exported from Puerto Rico in larger quantities than is any other native product, and while but little oz 1t finds its way into the American mar. ket under the brand Puerto ftican, an immense quantity. according to Gen. Roy Stone, is sold here as genuine Mocha and Java The average Puerto Riean countryman, even though his children have neither shoes for their feet. nor clothing for their backs, owns his private coffee patel. from which by occasional piekings, he secures enough of the little round berries to keep the family supplied. The exporting, how eyer, is done by large growers-men who have plantations which cover hun dreds of acres, mostly upon the well drained mountain sides The plants, er trees. 3as they are sometimes call ed. are grown at intervals of from six to eight feet, and after reaching a night of about five feet are trimmed off that no strength may be wasted in surplus foliage The flowers, which are pure white in color, have rich fra grance. Each berry contains two seeds, or beans. and as these are gathered before fully ripened, they are dried in the sun. It is a common sight to see coffee drying on bprlaps, or mats, iD the city streets The average Puerto Riean has little or no use for a coffee mill. He bakes his coffee until it is black, and then grinds it to a powder i'll huge mortar. When ready for use IL closely resembles gunpowder, tht beverage made from it looking very much like ink. Some of the natives since the close of the Spanish regime, nave learned to prepare cup of coffee on the American plan, but these belong to very small minority of the popula, tion,-Leslie's Weekly.
