the Russian government is unwilling to
receive a representative of this coun-
try at Dalny, so he will remain in this
city for some time awaiting instruc-

not consider that Russia's refusal to re-
ceive a consul of this country at Dalny
is at all unfrlendly, as she had inform

possible at this time to extend to our
representative the courtesies customary
between friendly nations. At present
the harbor of Port Arthur is blockaded
by Japanese ships, and Dalny is liable
TO suffer from want of supplies. The
United States has no hostile intentions
in establishing consulate at that port.

FELLOW
FARMERS!

This is a great country. 1t
is our country. We make it
great. We must make it great
er by improving our land. We
can't raise potatoes, onions and
other dellcacies on rocks. We
must first raise the rocks. One
stick of DYNAMITE will do
the lifting of one hundred men
in the same space of time. 1t
is economy to use it. DYNA-
MITE can be handled with
perfect safety. 1t is not work
but fun to use it. We touch
it off and get behind a tree,
Just as we used to fire the old
anvil on the glorious Fourth.
Griswold is the agent for this
section for " Atlas" Dynamite.
We sell it at the same price
you would pay at the factory,
by the single stick or by the
case. Time to use it when
Spring begins to soften up.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1904.

Last Monday at Georgetown District
Attorney Horace G. Thurman did an
other of his famous stunts, for which he
is so noted, in allowing eighty-one pris-
eners to go scott free without even the
semblance of trial, only this time in
stead of making poor and faulty in
formation he went at it another way.
Last July at the time of the blowing up
of the Sun and Mosn transformer house
in ellison gulch some eighty of the citi-
zens of Idaho Spings run several of the
members of the Miners Union out of
town, and shortly afterward Thurman
filed five informations against each of
these citizens. Their cases were to have
come up for trial this week, when 10 and
behold, after a conference of Lafe Han
chett, an officer of the Citizens ALI
ance, with few others, Mr.. Thurman
comes to the conclusion that he has no
evidence to convict, and enters an order
for 'nollo prosequi" in all of these cases.
As the lawmakers when framing the law
supposed that all district attorneys
would be honest and fearless and do
their duties, no recourse was left when
the district attorney entered such plea,
but for the judge to grant il. We sup
pose that the law trainers never expected
that man with Thurman's caliOre
would be elected to this office. 1t looks
on the face of it as though Thurman had
10, tlo
poor. We know that he has been max
ing strenuous efforts to secure an en-
dorsement for denomination this coming
fall, and suppose some sort of deal was
promulgated between Hanchett and 9th.
ers to this effect although Thurman will
not lose any money, as he is entitled to
S5 for each information filed and SO
much day for his appearance in court.
Thus it will be seen that he receives
some $4,000 for the filing of five informa-
tions against each of eighty defendants
and then lets them go. There is nothing
slow about Thurman when it comes to
getting money out of his ofiice-either
in court and honestly, or with his hand
behind his back. 1t appears to us that
a grand jury would not come amiss in
this district, and possibly Thurman
would not be so handy with his faulty
informations and nolle prosequis after
wards. 1t would not have been quite SO
bad, but last Saturday he notified Mr..
Richardson and Mr.. Carney, two of the
ablest lawyers in the state, who were to
assist him, that he intended to go ahead |
and push the cases, and We are sure that
some sort of conviction, as it was most !
hagrant violation of the law.

FIRE STILL RAGING.

Baltimore, Feb. s, 2:15 p. m.-The
fire has passed Jones Falls, spreading to
the Baltimore Chrome Works and is now
raging in a southeastly direction.
2:2O. The water front is now a sseth-
ing furnace, great mills, warehouses and
wharves offering a mighty feast for the
banquet of flames.
2:45-The fire is 6ercer than ever
Fifteen carloads of fire fighting apparatus
have Just arrived from New York.
Baltimore, $50 p. m.-Borne on the
wind, the flaming brands from the burn
ing lumber yards are reported to have
carried the confagration acrcss the
Falls, which the fremen prayed might
be the eastern limit of the fire swept
area.
Other lumber yards line the shore of
the basin beyond the falid, and offer
good material for the element.
Baltimore, Feb. S.-Baltimore will
not seek outside aid. This decision was
reached by the city authorities this after
noon with the knowledge that fifty
thousand persons are out of the work
and the city faces famine.
1t was reported after a conference this
afternoon between Mayor McLane, mem
bers of the council and of the legislature.
A bill will be introduced in the legisla-
ture at its special session tonight, ap-
propriating $3.50, 900 for the relief of those
made destitute by the fire, and who are
now practically the city's wards. A bill
will also be rushed through the legisla-
ture repeating that provision of Baltimore
city's charter which limits the eme, gency
fund to fifty thousand dollars.
As soon as business opened in the legislature
today a resolution was passed lawfully sus-
pending business in Baltimore during the
next ten days.
At least fifty thousand men, women and
children employed in the wholesale district
are out of employment Prominent citizens
are arranging for aid for the destitute.

A DISPATCH from Paris says

An official of the Z 1ited States en-
bassy called at the foreign Office on
Saturday to urge an early reply to the
last American note concerning revision
of the FrancO-American reciprocity ar
rangement. The negotiations have now
assumed the following form; France ex-
presses her willingness TO restore the
minimum tariff on American meat and
to grant the minimum tariff on Porto
Rico coffee, if the United States will give
20 per cent. reduction in the rate on
champagne, under the reciprocity clause
of Dingley act. The American an
swer, given six weeks ago, expresses will
ingness to take up the foregoing if, be-
sides the reduction on meat and coffee,
France will reduce the duties on other
articles sufficiently to counterbalance the
concession on champagne.
This is an object-lesson showing how the
two governments legislate in the interests
oftheir people. The French would reduce
the cost of staple articles for the masses,
while the present American administra'
ton would make all kinds of concessions
in order that their classes might get
cheaper champagne-aluxury purchased
only by the rich.
