A Good Hotel.

Among the enterprises in this
city Of which our people feel justly
proud is the Jersey House. This
popular hotel under the manage
ment of Geo. X. Reed has gained
an enviable reputation throughout
the entire northwest and would
be credit to Q city many times
larger than Grangeville. The
furnishings, cooking and general
service are all up-to date and equal
to that found in the best hotels il.

bill Of fare for dinner on New

convince our readers that the

ate is ON Rapid river, . tributary
Of the Big salmon river, the scene
of great excitement beginning in
1862, and only twenty miles dis
taut. Mr.. Hollingshead, having
his incorporation in shape, very
proposes to spend several
weeks In and about Denver max
ing close examination Of the various
processes in use for the handling
Of ores to the best advan tage. as
he comprehends that most Of the
intricate problems have been
solved in Colorado. He expresses
the intention of sending for y car
load Of superlative ores from the
Rapid river district and having
them tested for the purpose Of de-
terlnining the better method Of
handling them at home. When
this shall have been ascertained
he will be ready to talk to our

State Cats.
II IL not generally known that
the state Of Idaho has three cats
ON the official payroll. For at
least six mOnths they have been
important factors u the admins
tration force. One goes by the
name Of Mckinley, one is named
Bryan and the third Pettigrew, \
fact from which it may be inferred
this trio forms q complete political
fusion. Whether or not q change
Of state administration will occas-
ion removal of any or all the cats
has not been determined by the
fusion committees. No applica-
tions have been filed to supercede
them and the cats do not appear to
be in the least disturbed.
These three feeders or lappers
at the public crib are of the ordi-
nary, everyday variety. They
have dark gray fur and very pene-
trating eyes. At all times, it is
noticeable, they behave themselves
with grave dignity as becomes
public officials. They are on duty
in the great engine room Of the
capitol building and under the
direct control Of Chief Engineer
Stacy. When first they began to
serve the state there were sufficient
rats and mice about the capitol
building to keep the cats fat and
satisfied and nc grumbling was
heard on the score Of inadequate
legislative appropriation. But
their industry and agility have SO
reduced the rat and mice crop it
has been found necessary to sup
plement their flesh diet with q
moderate supply Of fresh milk.
1t is here where these cats come as
bene6ciaries. Each month bill
amounting to less than one dollar
is fled with the state auditor for
this milk, aud goes before the state
board OF examiners and is charged
to the cat account. Beyond shelter
and drink they receive no allow
ance. OF course in the nature oil
things they make no reports and
appear at no public function, in.
sugursl ball or otherwise, and are
net required to take the oath OF

The story Is told Of the beautiful
Octavia Levert, in the March Ladies'
Home journal. that "when she was
on board Of a steamer going to Eu-
rope she fell a victim to seaslckness.
She recliued in n chair on deck with a
cirvle of admirers around her. A

costly robe Of bear skins which he

the lovely woman on deck the gallant
fellow insisted that 1t should he spread
over her as his own country's queen
