Many Counterfeit Dollars.

A large number of counterfeit sill
yer dollars are said to be in circula-
ton in the northern part of the state,
especially in Brown county. dhe coin
is good imitation Of the genuine
coin, and is easily passed upon the
country merchants. On the Fourth
of July one merchant took in twenty
three, and another tifty-two of the
coins. The matter is being investi-

Washington. Farmers and country
merchants should be on their guard

Chicken Thieves at Work In this city.

The hen coop of Mr.. John Radcliffe
was entered sometime during Satur-
day night and so full grown chickens,
besides hen with brood of little
ones were taken by thieves of the low
est calibre, and who are no doubt
watching for chance to steal the hen
house to keep their plumber in.
If the culpits are caught fine coat
OF tar and feathers would be a good
dose to give then. This is the first in
stance OF chicken stealing>reported for
a dong time, aud if caught, should be
made an example of.

The movements OF the Boise ira

The movements OF the Boise trail
breakers, as shown by our Idaho
City correspondent, is somewhat like
the contract taken by "Swift" to
shovel the snow from the sidewalk
up Main street TO the school house
Swift once took such contract after
long continual fall of snow which,
under the tramping feet, had finally
become an icy menace to the limbs OF
the pedestrians, and Swift, seeing a
good job ahead, raised purse under
an agreement to shovel the walk clear.
He began the work with more than
his usual diligence and activity but
nevertheless by the time he reached
the opera house the snow had melted
from the rest of the walk under the
rays of the spring sun.

HARMFUL FALsEHOODS.

=
Mr.. Thunder is great enough in
itself, or, We believe it is on the
knowledge SO far attained of it,
without the manufacturing of q lot of
fairy stories, suitable possibly in
yarns about the Aztecs or the Monte
zumas, but entirely out of place in
this instance where it ls necessary
only to tell the truth in regard to a
district of undoubted value to which
the miner and prospecter can go with
full confidence and knowledge that it
is mineral section furnishing al un-
excelled field where the chances for
fortune are much in his favor.
The following is the first two par
agraphs in column article on the
front page Of recent issue of the
San Francisco Call:
Boise, Idaho. March 30. Excitement
is at fever heat here over reports brought
out from the Thunder Mt. gold fields by
4 returning miners. Frozen dirt has been
washed out IN snow water and PANIED in
ordinary prospecting pans, $50 day to
the man having been. obtained in that
manner. Decomposed quartz pounded
In mortar, has yle ded as high as 5000 a
day to two men, one pounding and the
other washing. st
Rich finds OH Monumental and Mule
creeks have been made, The ore assayine
from 300 TO $500 u ton. In an Indian
grave were found The remains OF an Ind,
ian skeleton. At the side of the bones
was pile OF more Than $500 IN gold
nuggets, arranged into grotesque orna
menus. Nuggets of about the same purity
and being similarly imbedded in quartz
have been found in the gold fields a
other points, indicating the source OF the
Indians. wealth.
Miners are not panning out $50 8
day in snow water in Thunder Mt
Just before the Caswels turned theil
claims over to Dewey they struck f,
pocket and took out $4,000 in two
days-so it is authoratively asserted
But the assertion that this is gen
eral every day occurrence with the
majority in the district, is q misrep
resentatton that can only result II
harm. The Indian grave story is
fabrication pure and simple.

the Canadian contingent, which was

Canada and two squanrons of yeo-
many, under Colonel Cookson, and
the artillery and mounted rifles I'M

stout front that the burghers were
finally forced to retreat. The casu-
atty list shows that the Second Ca

wounded, 9 men killed and 40 men
wounded.
The casualty list also shows that

RELIABLE INFORMATION.

Everything that tends to inform
the public ms to the true condition
of roads to Thunder Mt. is read with
interest, and carefully analysed to
discover how the truth has been sup
pressed, or possibly misstated, to
add 10 some local advancement in
the way OF business. With a full
knowledge OF having the only prac-
tica route to the mines at present
and assured IN our own minds that
it will always be the best, under any
future conditions-Weiser has been
backward in giving these advantages
the publicity that the question de-
mands in the actual interests of the

Ill.


The kiwi is the sole remnant OF
the wonderful race of wingless birds
that once roamed all over New Yea
land, the gigantic skeletons of some
of which have been found in such
numbers that almost every museum
in the world possesses one or more
of them.
The kiwi is about the size Of a
partridge, has a rather long neck
and curious bill about four inches
in length. Its wings are quite unde-
veloped, and its feathers have a sort
of unfinished character. which may
be supposed to represent natures
early efforts in that direction, be-
fore the close, rich plumage Of the
modern bird was evolved"
Wanting the means OF flight, the
kiwi has been almost extermirated
and with it also have gone or nearly
gone all the other feathered dcni-
zens of the woods. The invasion Of
their haunts by the white man has
been their destruction. -.y~
