Poison In Pnrmnina.

1t is a curious fact that the COM
mon edible pArsnip Pastinaca satiya--
when allowed to run wild becomes a
skin poison. acting upon the cuticle
somewhat after the manner OF Rhus

is that 1t is especially poisonous when
the dew is upon 1t, though when dry

which proved fatal the doctor In at,

a fork ose and fell. The two great
eaters showed signs Of distress after
they had paseed the seven pound limit,
but. being animated by the invincible
American spirit. one OF them being a
/ Dutchman. were determined TO beat
Van Wyck or die one OF these grand
men swallowed another quarter Of a
pound Of meat and then retired from
the contest. The other stood nobly
by his steak and finally succeeded IN
forcing another hali-pound of beef In
to his intrepid stomach. 1t was superb
triumph, and the club gave him an ova-
ton. lust as he passed the seven
and q half pound mark" says our San
Francisco contemporary, he was
dragged from his chair, still chewing
as though in a trance, and was carrie
around the room on the shoulders Of
his admirers. two Of them dancing be
fore him with the sounding of drums
arc the whole club falling in behind"
Thus merit was rewarded, and fresh
evidence furnished that America is the
land OF opportunity, and every man
who is worth his salt has a career
open to him
There are some over-dainty persons
who would not like TO rest their claims
to distinction upon the possession OF
stomachs capable of accommodating
seven and a half pounds Of beefsteak.
Pay no attention to their carping, for
they are probably sour and spiteful
dyspeptics. The man who can eat as
much food at one sitting as seven or
dnary men should eat is a phenom-
enon world beaier, a gorger whose
name will ring down the centuries.
His achievement should be brought at
once to the attention of the Agricul-
tnral Department at Washington. The
wise men of that branch of the
national government published a little
pamphlet recently in which they mod
estly suggested that the hog Is natur-
ally refined and fastidious animal,
which has been Ted astray by evil
associations The pundits have hopes
of elevating the hog and making his
porkship a cultivated member of an
imal society. The man who stuffed
himself with seven and a half pounds
OF meat is respected by his neghbors
and regarded as hero by his fellow
gluttons. Perhaps he has helped the
cause OF civilization. but notwith-
standing hfs marvellous exploit. all
four-footed hogs should be kept in ig-
norance of his achievement. If the
members of the porcine tribe should
learn that a lord OF creation had won
the plaudits OF his fellow lords by
gross over-eating. they might conclude
that the ways OF the hog are not SO
bad after all, and refuse to be elevated
by the Agricultural Department.

a GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.

We are indebted to our esteemed
contemporary. the Bulletin, of San
Francisco. for a thrilling account OF
the performance of the Beefsteak Club
OF that town at recent session. The
achievements OF this organization
must make the bosom of every son of
Uncle Sam swell with pride. Ameri-
cans have always claimed that their
women were the most beautiful and
charming in the world; their men the
j clcverest, most chivalrous, most en-
teIprisng and most strenuous AS
nation We are proud of our statesmen,
who make the diplomats of Europe
look like T"ry small fractional cur
rency Our Napoleons OF finance are
Incompatible. our captains Of industry
off the championship in all sorts of
sports, from democratic broncho bust
ing to aristocratic polo. Excelsior
has ever been the motto OF this nation.
and in the arts, sciences. industry and
commerce, We fatter ourselves that
the rest of the universe has been left
in the rear. Is it strange that Uncle
Sam has assumed rather naughty and
patronizing air? Will 1t not be per-
fectly natural for him, now that he
has proved himself the biggest eater In
the world, to put on even more style?
In stomachic capacity as well as in
brains, the effete Europeans are hope
lessly outclassed. For the Beefsteak
Club of San Francisco has beaten even
the American record for gorging.
Heretofore Ex-Mayer Van Wyck of
New York was the idol OF the gluttons,
but now the championship has been
transferred to San Francisco. A
stomach more capacious than Van
Wyck's has been developed on the Pa
cifc coast
A few years ago Mr.. Van Wyck ate
seven and one-fourth pounds of beef
steak at one sitting. When this tri-
umph was heralded over the country
the nation rose as one man and said
that American civilization must be a
great thing If 1t could produce so vora-
cious an appetite. Sectional jealousy
was reused, and San Francisco began to
prepare itself to take the record away
from New York Last Sunday the San
Francisco society for the consumption
Of beef held it's anual summer gorge.
The appettes OF the members were
whetted by liberal potations of beer.
Then a light lunch of FISH chowder.
CLAIMS, oysters and potatoes was
served, after which the beef-eating
began
A prize was offered the man who
could prove himself the possessor of a
larger and more receptive stomach
than Ex Mayor Van Wyck. and thus
wrest the championship from New
York. Such consumption of steaks.
Notwithstanding the greed of the beef
trust, was never witnessed before. AT
the expiration of an hour and half
the competition was narrowed down to
two men, each of whom had eaten sey.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN ROAD

Much Needed ThOroughfare to New
Ell Dorado Soon to BE Built.
A NamLa (Ida.) letter in the Seattle
Times says the vexed problem of a
wagon road to the Thunder mountain
mines. which has been agitating the
minds Of the people of the southern
portion of Idaho ever since the New
Ell Dorado was discovered, has been
settled definitely. and active work on
the road will shortly begin. Engineer
]. NJ. Clark of the Idaho Northern and
B. N. and Q. railways has rGtull'ilcl
from a tour of inspection of the Nam
pa-Emmett route via Garden valley or
Long valley. and f. Fl. Dewey. west
ern manager Of the Thunder Mountain
Gold and Silver Mining company, has
announced. as before intimated. that
the wagon road will be built this way.
Colonel W. H. Dewey Of Nampa. who
purchased the original Thunder noun,
tain ore discoveries from the Caswell
brothers, has recently completed a new
railroad from Nalnpa to I.n,mett. Il
distance Of thirty miles. and it is from
this terminus that the Thunder noun
a wagon road will he built. The to.
tai distance from Emmett to the mines
by this read will lie l2o miles. going by
way of Gold Fork. y st;,:ge line will be
operated from Emmett.
On account CT the enormous cost in
volved and the evident superiority of
the route selected in the matter of dis
lance and good roads this will proba.
bly, be the only Thunder mountain
wagon road from southern Idaho.
Boise City will build up and connect
with this road at Pen Basin. and Wei
ser and Council will build and connect
with it at a point near Emmett.
