HEAVY STORM
AT NEzpERCE
Snow Now Thirty Inches Deep on
the Level and the Snow
Drifting Badly
Especial to Evening Teller.)

NEZPERCE, March 2.-After two
days of almost continuous snowfall
Nezperce prairie has sunshine again
today. There is now about thirty inch
es of snow on the level, the heaviest
snowfall that ever visited this section,
and 1t has practically all fallen in the
last two days. Yesterday a heavy wind
prevailed and the snow drifted badly
In many places tn drift is three feet
deep and in some instances it covers
the fences. All traffic is practically
suspended.
In addition to being snowbound Nez-
perez is now cut off from mail service
because of the slides on the Clearwater
Short line. There will be no mail
through today but may be tomorrow If
there are no new difficulties encount-
cred. News reached here this morning
that the slide at Peck was nearly dis
posed of. The track was covered there
from to 10 feet deep for sixty feet.
The other slide is three miles below
Greer where the track is covered for a
distance of eighty feet to the depth of
three feet. The train men at Kamiah
say that all obstruction will be re-
moved today and that the Lewiston
train will be able to get through late
tonight

was about S15,0O0.000. After an in
terval of twelve years the De Lamar
veins came into bonanza in 1890. and in
seven years produced $4,000 900, mostly
in gold About 1892 the deposits on
Florida Mountain began to be ex-
plotted and now oVer-shadow the De
amar mines in output. The produc-
ton in 1900 was nearly $4,000 in gold
and 000 900 ounces in silver The
process used to recover the gold and
silver from the ores is ordinarily that
Of pan amalgamation. In late years
the cyanide process has also been used

river valley, a considerable amount of

Opals have been found at various
places in the northern end of the
Owyhee range. They are usually in
the abundant vascular cavities of the
eruptive basalts and rhyolites. Some
good fire opals have been reported, but
by far the larger quantity is the COM
mon opal, of no value.

Judge Babb, of Wichita, is the
chairman of the peoples party state
committee and the editor of the only
populist paper published in his coun-
ty. In his paper he publishes the call
Of his party for a state convention
but nowhere in his editorial columns
do we find word of advice as to
what populists should do in the inn
pending campaign. This is disap-
pointing to all of us who for years
passed have been associated with the
Judge in politics and we herewith ask
him to take his pen in hand and tell
US what he thinks of the situation and
what we should do. We promise IN
advance to consider his advice care
fully and afterwards tO-dO as we
please about accepting it.

A Narrow Escape.

Simon Shaffer and wife had d very
narrow escape last evening from what
might have been a fatal accident.
They were driving toward the rail-
road crossing by the American house
and did not hear the approaching
flyer from the west, and on account OF
the intervening obstacles could not see
the swiftly moving train. Their
horses heads had nearly reached the
track when Dode Smith rushed out,
seeing their danger, and seiZing the
team by their brides turned them
away from the track just in time to
escape the train which rushed by at a
high rate of speed. This circumstance
again illustrates the almost criminal
disregard of life by engine drivers
who in order to make time will take
the risk of running through towns at
high speed. Either the railroad
should protect its crossings or the city
council should restI let the speed of
trans in the city limits.

For State Senator.
B. F. TATCM
Secretary.

Now that it seems practically GER
tain that the opposition to the repub-
lican party in this state will combine
on candidates, word as to our
standard bearers seems to be in or
question of who shall be our nominee
for senator seems to be attracting
more attention than anything else.
This is probably due to the fact that
Senator Smith is located in this
county and also to the fact that it is
recognized that it will take a strong
man to beat him. We must name a
man of good address and pleasing
personality who at the same. time is a
well-informed and practiced speaker,
one who on the stump will be able to
match the present incumbent, and one
who combines with these qualifica
tions wide acquaintance with the
needs of the people in this part of the
state. He must be man who if elect
ed will be in every sense of the word
equal to the place he is called to fill,
and whose integrity is without ques-
tion,-a man who can neither be
bribed by money nor flattery. Sew
eral good men have been suggested in
this connection by their friends in
other counties. any one OF whom
world receive the hearty support of
the Graphic should he be so fortunate
as to- secure the nomination, but in
this connection we wish to state shat

FIRST SNOW OF SEASON.
Large Part Of Kansas Has Been VISIT
cd hya Snow.

Practically all Of Kansas Is COW
cred by a light blanket Of snow which
has fallen since Saturday night. The
fall has been heaviest in the south
west, where snow lies on the ground
four inches deep. Snow is three in
ches deep, as far east as Salina and
Concordia. Along the eastern border
the fall has been comparatively light
up to midnight, and some southeast
ern counties have had scarcely a
trace.
The snow is the first Of the season,
excepting in a few northeastern coun.
ties, which caught light fall some
weeks ago. It is most welcome to
farmers, who were beginning to worry
a little about wheat. The crop Is in
fine condition in nearly every county,
but, with little rain for two months
or more, the ground had become ex.
Ceedingly dry, and high winds or Sc
we're freezing, without moisture,
would have done no little damage.
The present fall of snow has moi
made the crop" but 1t has relieved
a somewhat delicate situation ma
terlally, and farmers have faith to be
leve now that the Spell is broken"
that there will be more snow or rain
shortly.
The snow was not accompanied by
wind or low temperature, and stock
is not suffering.

HOLES TO LET OUT DEVILS.
Strange Method OF Exorclslcn Prac-
tlced In Arabia.

Role Yakima, a native Of Arabia, Is
very i'll at Methodist hospital. Yakima
claims he Is infested with the devils
Of disease. He has a big hole, cut to
the bone, In each ankle, He keeps
cabbage leaves over the wounds and
absolutely refuses to permit the doc
tors and nurses to remove them. The
holes were made by his father about
six years ago.
Perhaps no more strange case has
before penetrated the heart Of our civ
ilized land. Yakima came a few days
ago to the hospital, accompanied by
his father. He was unable to walk
because Of the MANNED feet. Just
above each ankle bone there Is a
CHASTITY hole, the size Of a silver 8
cent piece, and half an inch deep. In
the bottom Of each hole Is round fl.
bert nut kernel. Yakima has good
ly supply Of flberts in his pocket and
each morning he takes out the white
meat Of the nut, and inserts them in
the wounds, so they will not heal
While he submitted, with loud pro-
tests, to his wounds being washed
upon his arrival, he absolutely refuses
to submit to any other than his own
treatment, prescribed, he says, by his
father.
"If | take these away will die" Is
his expression, when coaxed to com
ply with the orders Of his physician.
Several prominent physicians have
attempted to treat him, without avail,
A strange fact is that the flberts
seem to possess the power of dlslnfec-
ton, for, though the wounds were made
nearly six years ago, they have not
become infected.-Des Moines News

Curious Test.

Engineers judge Of the condition OF
their machinery by the tone II gives
out while running. Every engine,
whether stationary or locomotive, has
particular tone Of its own; the en-
gineer becomes accustomed to that,
and any departure from It at once
excites suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what is
the matter, he may have no ear for
music, but the change in the tone Of
his machine will be at once percep.
tible, and being instantly recognized
will cause him to start on an imme-
date investigation.
