According TO Walter Matson. the
priests of Guatemala were formerly the
money-lenders of the country. Almost
every poor man was slave to the
church. The late President Barrios did
Il great deal to relieve this debtor class
of its burdens. On one occasion man
complained to him that the priest. having
taken his land for debt. had taken his
COW also. Rarrios found that the priest
had charged an extortionate interest, and
commanded the priest to keep the COW at
his own expense for two years, to give
the man all the milk, to telegraph to
Guatemala every morning concerning the
health of the COW, and in case the cow
should die the priests life was to be for
feited. The priest had such respect for
Barrios' order that he took the COW
into his own house. After he had tele-
graphed every morning for six months,
and the cost Of the messages had been
considerably more than the original debt
he thought he might as well stop using
the wire, but Barrios was prepared for
him, He telegraphed to the jefe of the
department to arrest the priest and give
him public hogging, and in case he
should refuse or neglect 10 telegraph
again he was TO be shot

THE CHAPLAINS OF CONGRESS
Two Blind Ministers Picturesque Per-
soualitics at Capitoi

Across the broad plaza in front of the
capitol yesterday walked two blind men.
They were the chaplains of the House
and the Senate.
These two blind men are among the
most picturesque personalities in Con-
sress. Rev. DR.. AIilburn; with his long
gray wbiskcls and his black SLOUGH hat,
is a familiar figure. He walks upon the
arm of his daughter. gently feeling his
way with cane, and is always in his
appointed place ut the hour Of noon, no
matter whether it rains or SHOWS or
blows. His prayers are models of express
sion. The newspapers are read to him
every morning before he goes to the capl-
tOl, 50 that If there is any great event
which needs to be mentioned in his prayer
it is not overlooked. After prayer he is
led around the chamber and shakes hands
with the senators.
Rev DR.. Couden. the chaplain nf the
House. hides his eyes beneath dark-blue
glasses. He is tail and digniied and.
like his colleague in the Senate. is el0-
quent. His prayers are very brief but

Wreck Of the Sloppy Susan.


In the severe blow of last Friday
evening there was much havoc among
the numerous river craft but no ia
talitles. The most severe mishap
was the wreck of the Sloppy Susan,
which occurred about three miles
above the Second Street dock. The
Susan is the best known river grey
hound on the Snake and her fate
came about by being caught in the
trough Of the sea in the face of a
scurrying squall that struck her
without warning and before sail
could be shortened. The boat went
over instantly and captain and crew
found themselves foundering in rhe
raging waters Of the broad river.
The officers and crew were Attorney
Bert Varian and Auditor Hermany
of the P. & l. N. The wrecked
mariners succeeded in getting hold
OF the upturned boat to which they
were obliged to cling while they
fioated helplessly. The wind kept
the river agitated to such an extent
that they were unable to force the
wreck shoreward and they Hoated the
entire three miles to town before
they succeeded in landing. Not
withstanding the season of the wear.
the gale, flashing the water as it did.
and whistling about the soaked
shoulders of the two men, caused
them to become chilled and numbed
TO such an extent that they suffered
severely. The river here is over one
thousand feet wide and the capsized
boat kept the middle of the stream,
and weighted as they were by cloth
ing both feared to leave their sup
port and attempt to swim ashore, a
feat none too easy even we're the
water placid. They kept themselves
in heart by singing ga life on the

Deep" and nearly opposite town
they were fortunate enough to sue
coed in steering their craft to shore
on the Oregon side, whence they
walked to the ferry and secured pas
sage back to Idaho. AS soon az
immediate discomforts were removed
they were none the worse for the ex.
perience.

that Thunder Mountain was appar-
emily district of great veins OF low
grade ore with some known chutes
OF exceeding richness and great
probability of many other valuable
veins of varying character in the adj
1acent territory-and this assertion
Will stand the investigation of the

no are willing to rest their case upon
the evidence. Those who expected
to pick coin from the bushes will 90
out and roar about what they found.

ment, was turned down by thousands

quently became one of the greatest
mining districts known and those
familiar with Thunder Mountain
