A COMMENDABLE MOVE.

BY reference to another column
it will be seen that the bonds of the
Weiser Irrigation district have been
sold. Mr.. Albert Eoff taking $40,
600 of the purchase bonds at per
cent, and the Boise City National
Bank taking $40, 900, improvement
bonds at seven per cent, being the
lowest bids offered. The board of
directors of the irrigation company
can be congratulated on having con-
cluded these financial negotiations
on such favorable terms, especially
when other localities could not Sc
cure the funds needed, at corresp pond
ing low rates; for instance the
Oneida Irrigation district is offering
$271, 500, at seven per cent and no
bidders yet. The Pioneer Company
of Caldwell offer the same rate, but
no takers. Trowbridge & Nevins,
the largest bond buyers of Chicago,
bid seven per cent for the whole
Welser issue, and stated that, COW

ms to the extreme stringency in the
money market it was difficult to
place securities of this character,
even at the rate of interest named.
The prompt action of the directors
will enable them to commence work
as soon as conditions will admit, and
in this way the benefits will be as
sured at the earliest time possible.
In fact the adjustment Is cause for
congratulation all round, and also
shows that the financiers best in
formed as to the resources that will
be developed showed their faith by
putting up their money at reasonable
rate considering general financial
conditions.

WAR NEWS,

Grim visaged war has taken the
place of Smiling diplomcy and Ger
many and England are now enforcing
their claims against Venezuela by
force of arms. On the 9th inst the
combined naval force, consisting of
the British war ship Retribution,
and the German ships Vinita and
Falk entered the harborof La Guayrd,
came to anchor and despatched 10
boats with 240 sailors, who pro-
ceeded to the docks, took possession
of five Venezuelan ships, disabled
two at the docks and towed two
gun boats out of the harbor and de-
stroyed them. The Venezuelans
made no resistance. The chief com
plant was that the German tars cap
tured the cooks gallery and de-
voured the grub prepared for the
Venezuelan sailors. On the 18th
two of the allied ships bonn barded the
fort and custom house at Puerto
Cabello.
Only a show of resistance was
made, and no loss of life reported,
SO far it has been rather merry war.
Blockade has been officially de-
clared. The action of the allied
forces is generally condemned. A
syndicate of German bankers has of
cred OF advance the amount needed to
settle the claims, the offer being de-
clined by the Venezuelan govern
ment.
The open act of hostility has caused
great excitement in London, and
very general dissatisfaction is felt by
the business community, which
regards the action as uncalled for
and demand for full explanation
has been made to parliament. Mr..
Bowen, American minister, has
shown himself very competent man
for the place. The indications now
are that the trouble will be settled by
arbitration.

There is, or was, an army mule, a
pensioner of the United States-tra-
dition says that army mules are inn
mortal, hence the doubt as to tense.
But this mule, Mexique, was ordered
to be sold at Mount Vernon barracks,
Alabama, in 1888, reports the New
York Tribune. He had been at the
post long time, and had grown gray
in the service, having an honorable
record in the Mexican war, and the
officers at Mount Vernon asked the
quartermaster general to retain him
till the end of his days. This appli-
cation, signed by William A. Kobbe,
then an artillery lieutenant, and in
dorsed by dozen proper military
authorities including Gen. Hancock
and Gen. Sherman, is on record at
Washington. How the white mules

Endorsements may be seen from the

Bees and rheumatism.

Our contemporaries seem go be
elated over the bee cure for rNeumR-
tism and devote considerable space to
this stringent remedy. For ourselves,
W. can see no reason for rejoicing.
We have been set upon by hive full
of bees and we have been rendered
helpless by rheumatic onslaught. OF
the two evils it's toss of the penny
which is the 'wusser." The bees
make up for the short duration Of
their infection by the pungency Of the
pain; rheumatism isn't quite so Sc
we're as numerous bee stings, but it
detains one from business more than
day and makes one feel like walk
ing barometer, twenty years older in
damp weather. One thing is certain.
however, an aggressive, able-bodied,
active bee can make itself so bust
ness-like that the rheumatic not only
forgets his rheumatism, but every
other i'll that flesh is heir to.-Centre-

Stories Of Snake Bites.

An English traveller just returned
from India says that the stories about
the great number of deaAs from
snake bites in India are to 9 great
extent unreliable as statistics when
carefully analysed. He accounts,
moreover, for these extreme eiaggera-
lions in figures on very plausible
grounds. In India, he says, the law
requires that when there is sudden
death detailed report Of it must be
made to the civil surgeons, and as
there are many such deaths fnr from
the civic Offices where the report
should be made, the under officers per-
form their duty with the least possible
trouble. To save the annoyance of
transporting dead bodies, or Vital or
gans, and the loss of time in getting
evidence on the facts of the cases
which may be plain murders, by poi
son or Otherwise report &C death

of report is very convenient and
makes interesting statistics.

Form of Architecture Popular in PEN
sacola as in Early Days.
1t is noticeable that the vestry of
Christ Church parish, Pensacola, Fla,
has taken the Spanish architectural
form, for new church building for
the parish. This is most appropriate.
Pensacola was in all its early history
a Spanish colonial city; its streets
and public places are known by Span
ish names; many of the people have
Spanish blood in their veins there is
still the Spanish atmosphere there
as in ST. Augustine, although modern
Pensacola is truly American. Visit
ors to that city expect to see some
thing recalling the ancient history of
the place; but such is the force of
innovation that, with the passage of
time, all relics are likely to be oblit-
Grated, and no distinction be trace
able between a town in Spanish Flor
ida and town in Oklahoma, says the
Mobile (Ala.) Register. To counter
act this tendency-at least in part
the new church building is to be a
return to ancient forms. 1t will re-
semble a Spanish mission church in
general style, with here and there the
graceful ornamentation that is seen
in the Seville cathedral This much
we deduce from seeing the picture of
the new church. We assume that the
