and seized the unfortunates whose
night clothes were burning as they
ran from their berths and rolled
them in blankets. One man, crazed
with pain, envelopedin in flames, broke
through the Gordon at the door and

And A Slaughter Was Made Among
New Measures.
TEN WAGON ROAD BILLS FALL
Other Measures Disapproved for Reasons Of
Public Economy.

Governor Hunt has vetoed the
ten bills passed by the legislature max
ing appropriations for state wagon
roads and bridges, as follows
HOUSE BILLS.
No. 76-To construct bridge
across Salmon river in Custer county.
No 83, by Miller, to construct
wagon road in Boise county.

wagon road in Canyon and Boise
counties.

wagon road from Pocatello to Chest
field.
H. B. 152, by Anderson-To
provide for the construction of
bridge across Snake river in Fremont
county, $4,000.
H. B. 81 was disspproved This
was to authorize $500 in bonds
to construct the various wagon roads
and bridges authorized by the legis-
lature, the said bills having been
vetoed, also rendering these bonds
unnecessary.
S. b No. 41-To construct bridge
across Salmon river at Barr's bridge.
S B. No. 42-For $4,000 to re-

structing two bridges across Snake

S. B. No. 85-Authorizing con-
struction Of state wagon road in
Oneida county.
The governor says: "The principle
of state aid for county or local
road is expressly forbidden in Sec
ton 19 of Article 3, of the state
construction, and is contrary to public
policy. Were this principle (mak-
ing appropriations for local roads) to
become settled, every county in the
state would make legislation sub
servient to their desire to secure the
use of state money for the purpose
of local development and combina-
tion of interests would inevitably
result in the passage of all bills OF
this character. F"
The only state road measure to be
approved was H. B. No. %, to com
plete the state road between Wash
ington and Idaho counties. The fol-
lowing commission was appointed by
the governor to supervise the
work of construction: r. K. Lock.

A great many republican papers
are advocating a revision of the tar
if, among them the Salt Lake Tri-
bune. 1t looks as if, before a great
while, the tariff will cease to be a
party issue. AS public sentiment is
drifting, Americans will be about
unanimous on the proposition that
the great American industries, now
30 we'll established that they can sue
cessfuly compete with all the world,
need no protection, and that to give
it to them, or rather continue it, is
merely giving them the power to
charge their countrymen prices away
above reasonable profit, and much
higher than the prices fixed for the
same goods sold to foreign counties.
The tariff has wonderfully helped to
make these industries what they are,
and now that they are no longer
'fnfants, but conquering giants, the
old arguments in favor of protec-
tive tariff are without force, and in
the face of present conditions Datur-
ally convince the average Ame rican
of nothing but their absolute absur-
dity. Dealing with this question of
tariff as protective meas ure, the
Tribune says: "Our thought is that
the tariff should be revised and re-
moved from very many articles of
American manufacture, like steel
rails and steel structural work and
plenty of other articles. Idaho

ARE NOT FROM MARS.
Prof. Flnmmnrion Does Not Believe
Luminous Spots On the Planet
Are Signals.

Prof. Camille Flammarion, speaking
on the subject of signals from the sup
posed inhabitants of the planet Mars,
declared that the luminous points OBJ
served by Prof. Douglas north of the
Icarian sea were due to the setting
sun lighting up clouds which exist sole
ly in the Marian atmosphere in the
neighborhood of the Icarian sea.
Prof. Flammarion does not believe in
the theory that the Martians are trying
to communicate with the earth at the
same time that we are trying to reach
them. He believes. however, that it is
possible to- establish communication
with the Martians.
He approves of Prof. Schmoll's idea
of reproducing an outline of the lu-
minous points of the Great Bear at
Bordeaux, Marseiles, Strasburg, Paris,
Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Stock
holm.

LEAVES NURSE A FORTUNE.
Miss COyne, of Scranton, Pa, Is Be-
quenthed $4,000 by IA For
mer Patient.

Ten thousands dollars a month for
four months nursing is about the rec
ord wages in that line of work, and Miss
Margaret Coyne, of North Scranton,
is the lucky recipient. A lawyer in
Scranton, Pa, has informed her that
she has inherited $4,000 from a for
mer patient whom she had nursed back
to health years ago. Her first patient
was DR.. f. b. Smith. who was suffering
from a complication of diseases. The
case was one demanding skill and un-
renting attention. Miss Coyne at
tended the sufferer day and night, and
after four months Dr. Smith recovered.
This was in 1894. Miss Coyne soon aft
er came to Scranton to pursue her call
ing. DR.. Smith died recently and left
her half his fortune, which is $4,000.

The widow of an Arab who intends
to take to herself a second spouse
naturally thinks that her late la
mented husband would not approve,
so the night before the wedding she
goes to pay him visit at his grave.
There she humbly kneels and prays
him not to be jealous or offended.
Probably she believes that he will be
both and that she must make a def
mite act to appease his wrath. Ac-
cordingly she takes with her an ass
bearing two goats skins of water.
When her prayers are ended she takes
the waEer skins and proceeds to sat
urate her husbands grave Whether
plentiful libation of cold water has
soothing effect on the spirit of the
departed or not may be matter Of
conjecture, but, having made it, the
widow feels that she has done all that
,an be required of her and enters we'd

til. was no ea:y matter. If he made
a contr"ct with a consumer to supply
him with oil for fuel the producer had

put W the amount called for in the
contract the bond was forfeited. The
price, he said ranged from so cents to
$1OO a barrel delivered. The railroads
charged AZ cents barrel for transpor-

GERS have to lay their own pipe lines
from wells to the railroad and put
their own loading racks, find mar
llet for their oil and then hustle ar

oil was delivered. 1t was a cut-throat
business from start to finish. A pro-
ducer would secure q purchaser for a
certain amount of oil and have every
thing in shape to close the contract at
certain price when another producer
would step in and under bid him. and
then he would have to look for new
purchaser. He thought when the bust

in the East, and the boomer had been

generally been supposed for the past
20 years that the remains of Father
Marquette are in the possession of

They were located by Father Jacker,
an Indian missionary. in 1875 at ST..
Ignace. Mich, on the site of the chapel
of the Mission of St. Iguatius, which
Father Marquette founded in 1871,
Father Jacker found the ruins of the
chapel, and digging beneath the altar
site discovered the relies. They were
