"Charles B. Lyon, superintendent

is in the city. He states that the
story of rich find having been
made in the shaft was without foun-

was very fine. Samples were taken

ga large number of people are
out there, Mr.. Lyon says, making

In spite of tue above some people
maintain there is truth in the story
and that the company sinking the

to learn that it is not true.

GEO. DAVIS FALLS DEAD.
Sudden Taking Off of Former Weiser
Business Man

The Evening Capital News Of
Boise contains the following account
OF the death of George Davis, who is
well known in Weiser, having been
in business here for several wears.
He had his harness shop burned in
the great confagra ton OF May 1890.
The News says:
Shortly before II o'clock today
George DAVIS, manager of the Idaho
Saddlery Co., dropped dead in the
salesroom of that establishment from
what the physicians designate as
heart apoplexy. The death came
entirely without warning and was a
tremendous shock 10 the entire com
munity Mr.. Davis was attending
to business all morning as usual and
made no complaint whatever. At
the moment he was striker he was
selling pair of shoes to the little
daughter of Ed. Peasley He had
apparently stepped upon ladder to
reach for some shoes when the attack
came on and fell, striking his head
against the arm OF the bench, receiy
ing small cut above the eyebrows
aud several slight abrasions. None
of these, however, were of nature to
cause death
The little girl became frightened
from the fall and fled A gentleman
who entered the store an instant
later discovered the body upon the
floor and alarmed the workmen in
the back ROOM Medical assistance
was hastily summoned and willing
hands piled fans to give the striken
man fresh air. DR.. Haley administ
cred hypodermic injections of stry
CHINA and whiskey, one of the most
powerful stiniulants known to the
medical profession, but life could not
be resuscitated
DIR. Haley says that death was in
stanteous and that it was absolutely
painless The fall and slight in
juries we're only the consequences of
the apoplexy.
The wife of Mr.. Davis who lives in
the Mccarthy building immediately
over the store room was notified. but
before she could reach his side her
husbands life had flown. Her
agonized grief was too much for many
strong men to witness, and they
turned silently away.
The body was conveyed to Glover's
undertaking parlors, where it will
remain until arrangements are COM
pleted for the funeral. AS the de-
ceased was an Odd Fellow it is pro-
bable that order will take charge of
the obsequies

We fear Senator McLaurin of
South Carolina is travelling on a
road that leads to political oblivion
in his attempt to raise Democratic
politics in the South above section
alism. He is undoubtedly right,
however, in his assertion that the
South should eliminate the civil
war spirit from its politics if it
would keep up with the rest of the
country in material and political
progress. We believe with Senator
McLaurin that the people of the
South are ripe for new era in
their politics, but the trouble is
that the whole political system of
the South is still dominated by
men who have controlled the party
machinery since the war, and who
will never reIinquish the power
they hold of their own accord.
Senator McI1aurin will probably
kill himself, but the seed he sows
in the meantime will take root and
grow, and eventually this new
polical growth will overshadow
and crowd out the Bourbon fun
gus with which the South is af-
tiicted.

sumeti that lie believes that party

should succeed in getting control OF
the party i'll this state, all event Mr..
Stone does not consider probable
or even possible, ''Missouri might
become Il battle ground. But he
does not expect these ''whilom al
lies of the Republicans" to swerve
Missouri from its accustomed
Democratic position.
AS fol the general Democratic
situation Mr.. Stone is inclined to
let the silver issue 60 into the back
ground since the production Of
gold has increased enormously.
He is against protection, now rs
always. The mention of German
and Harrison met his approval.
but the proposed combination of
Hill and johnson he pronounced
''cnrious." The list of senatorial
aspirants in Missouri is II long one
according to Mr.. Stones informa-
ton, but he had nothing particu
lar to say on that subject, except
that a Democrat would be elected.
The Republic has just stated that
there is no movement on foot in
St. Louis to rcorganizc the Demo
cratic party. 1t vii! be noticed
that Mr.. Stone joins Mr.. Bryan
in asserting that an effort of that
kind is a distinct fact, us that it is
engineered by Democrats who sup
ported the Republican ticket in
1896 and 1900. Of course. MI.
Stone is thoroughly informed on
this l.oint and Democrats through

Stone on the Situation,

Ex-Gov. w. j. Stone has ex-
pressed himself freely in an inter
view on the present Democratic
situation, especially in Missouri.
Mr.. Stone is quite positive that ali
attempt is under way in this city
to reorganize the party and on
lines that he does not approve.
''There is reason for thinking"
he said, ''tliat those who have not
been with us in the past are try
ing in every way they can to gain
control of the party organization"
Mr.. Stone referred to "a general
movement among those who op-
posed the party in 1896 and 1900
to control the committees, conven-
tions, nominations, etc. Right
here in St. Louis a resolution say
ing in effect that only Democrats
should be nominated on Demo
cratic ticket was refused considera-
ton" In regard to holding a
Democratic convention this year
Mr.. Stone was on-committal. He
sees no pressing necessity for ii
nor any objection to it. He does
not believe that Mr.. Bryan will be
a candidate again, ''except unde,
the gravest party necessity" Con
ditions may arise that might induce
MIR. Bryan to change his mind,
but Mr.. Stone believes him to b.
sincere in saying that, az matters
stand, he is not candidate for re
nomination.
AS to the state of affairs in St.
Louis Mr.. Stone speaks frankly
