or not the reports are correct as his

also prevails there that supplies in
Weiser are high priced, being 80 far
west. He was greatly surprised,

as cheap in this city as he could in

ton and other articles brough with

money in Weser. He made careful
inquiries about prices in all lines of
merchandise and will advise those
following him to bring nothing with
them, that they can buy here exactly
what is appropriate and at surpris-
ingly low prices. The fear Of being
.srobbed" when Quitting is a bug
aboo that frightens many who are
looking this way. He felt that way
himself, and was agreeably disap-
pointed to find here splendid stocks
and low prices. The explanation il
found in the fact that almost al
kinds of goods are received in car
load lots, thus practically eliminat
ing the freight proposition.

ambition of Weiser people is to
make this city OF schools and

tions have vigorous organizations
here: Episcopal, Baptist, Congre-
gational, Catholic, Methodist and
Christian churches. On account OF
her geographical location as we'll as
the energy and acumen Of her busi-
ness men, Weiser is the metropolis
of large and rapidly developing
territory. She will become = city
I; of 10, 600 or ID, 600 population when

ties are developed. This, in connec-
ton with manufacturing and whole

anyone who will study the situation.
In no irrigated country, having such
an abundance OF water, can land b.

No colonization schemes have beeu
resorted to to populate this section,
and in consequence both improved

coveries of 1897 inclted search In
the United States territory of Alaska
which yielded flattering results, and
in 1898 the Cape Nome field was re-
vealed.
Now comes the word that makes
Idaho the center of attention. Great
gold discoveries have been made at
Thunder Mt, east of the middle
point of the state. The first finds of
consequence were made last year, too
late for the rush which is soon to
take place. Snow lasts on the
ground in the mountains of that To-
cality seven or eight months of the
year. The snow is still there, but
thousands of prospectors are already
on the way to the gold fields, and
when the trails are opened few
weeks hence there will probably be
an inpour which will recall the rusf
to Klondike and the more recent exc
dus to Cape Nome The reports
which come from the Idaho golt

The developments which are about
to make Idaho a center of world in
terest show that in direct and en-
phatic degree the United States is a
land of gold. The first of the great
discoveries of that metal in this
country were those made in Califor-
MIA in 1848 by Marshall and others.
Then came the great finds by Rus
sell and others in Colorado in 1858,
supplemented by Gregorys discovery
of a still richer field in the same dis
trlct in 1859. Just a month after
Gregory's find in the Pixies Peak
district Comstock, Mclaughlin,
O'Reiley and their co mpanions struck
the richest vein of silver ever founc
in the world, that which figured IL
the annals Of the time as the Com
stock lode. Then, In the next dozer
years, came gold and silver finds ol

AN ISLAND WITHOUT MICE.
30 UncOn8enial In Its Soil That the
Little Rodents VIII Not Re-
main Upon It.

I There is small island named Papa
Little that lies in St. Magnus bay, on
the west side of Shetland. 1t gets it's
name in contradistinction to Papa
Stour, or the Big Papa, another island
in the same bay. Both names are of
Morse origin and signify Priest islands,
from the fact that they were colonized
by the Irish Catholics who first intro
duced Christianity, says the Liverpool
Daily Post. There was a solitary
croft on this island at one time, but all
that now remains is ruined home
stead, for the place Is used purely for
grazing purposes. A striking feature
of the isle is the fact that no mice can
live there; and on various occasions,
to test the truth of this, mice have been
caught and slipped on the isle, but so
uncongenial did its soil prove to their
existence that in short while they
were dead. There are instances of
crofters on the mainland, when
troubled with mice, going the length of
fetching earth from this isle and
sprinkling it on the ground before
building their stacks. This is said to
have had the desired effect in oil cases.

Miles OF stacked-UD Bottles In L
French Wine Vaults.

When the car was on his recent
visit to France he had the felicity of
riding nine miles between two stacks
of champagne bottles six feet high,
says Beverages. This experience fell
to his majesty in the vaults of Pom
merry and Greno. Each gallery in the
vaults is marked with a name. The
names are those of the greatest
towns in the world, and there are
hundreds of galleries, for the vaults
contain 100000 bottles of cham
payne, some of them nearly 100 feet
down in the bowels Of the earth.
The vaults occupy $50 acres, and are
built in an old chalk quarry outside
of Rheims, near the Church of St.
Remi. There are $50 hands en-
ployed down in the vaults, of whom
some so are women, whose work cons
sists for the most part in labelling
the bottles and twisting the wires
for the corks. Each hand employed
quaffs tumblerful of Pommery be-
fore descending into the cold, cleo
trically lighted vaults, where the
work is done, and also reserves two
bottles of good red wine per day, so
that it is not altogether bad game.

Mothers Fortune, r F.!

The old adage that truth 10 stranger
than fiction, was illustrated anew over
in Abingdon the other day, when Miss
Christine Norman discovered sum of
money, amounting to 81 800, which had
been left by her mother, Mrs. Anna
Norman. The old lady, who was very
eccentric, died short time ago, and
money for the funeral expenses was
subscribed by the people Of the town,
as the mother and daughter had lived
for years in the most abject poverty,
the daughter dong washing to'support
the two, reports the Stark County (1ll.l
News.
After the death of the old lady Chris
tine began to examine the effects left
by her mother in the house. Among
other things in the house there was a
box that the old lady hadguarded with
great care foC years. The box was
made of solid iron and fastened with
two strong locks. When the chest was
at last opened a joyous sight wat that
which met the gaze Of the daughter;
and those who were assisting her in the
investigation. Gold silver and paper
money were found in large quantity.
Much of the gold was made 10 years
ago, and the paper moneywas of spe-
cies long ago gone out of use and re-
called by the government. This sum
of money was taken to the bank and
placed on deposit in trust for the
daughter, who has worked so hard al
these years to care for her mother.
