In Challis last week. He had
just returned from Custer where
he went to inspect the Wallace
placer ground on Yankee Fork,
where he is having a large num-

satisfactory and hopes to install
dredging plant this year. His

An exchange tells of a lady
who decided to scare her hus-
band, who was a hard drinker,
so he would reform. To do this
she procured the costume of a
devil she had worn at a masquer-
ade. The next time the erring
spouse came home feeling happy
she quickly donned the costume.
AS she opened the door she
stepped forward and said in sui
phurus tones Come in with
mel am the devil" The re-
suit rather startled her as the
response which greeted her was

A large outfit of surveyors are
at Caldwell surveying for the
Butte & SanFrancisco railroad.
They are running the lines in the
lines in the wrong direction to
please the people on this end of
the proposed road-they are sur

1t is expected that the Lost
Packer smelter at Loon creek
will be started some time this
month. With the vast amount
of ore in the mine and in the ore
houses the smelter ought to be
able to turn out a vast amount
of high grade of bullion this
eeason if the new smelter works
satisfactorily.
The average monthly sales of
Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago,

are but few editors in our state
who have not made a vigorous

been done in the interest of the
home merchant, and without

them, have no appreciation, but
send to Montgomery Ward &

out a warrant for two horse
thieves, but the county court
would not issue the warrant as
the case was not within his juris-
diction. The owner of the stolen
horses lives in Custer county.
The persons who are said to
have stolen the were caught with
the animals in their possession
in Blaine county, and the sup
posed horse thieves were captur-
ed and taken to the Blaine county
jail where they are still in Gus
tody. The officials of that county
say that the case is not within
their jurisdiction and told the
loser of the horses to go to Gus
ter county for the warrant, and
Custer county officials sent the
fellow back to Blaine county ion,
redress. That is the way the
matter now stands. If neither
Blaine or Custer county has any
jurisdiction in the matter, what
county has ? Probably some
county back in Maine has iuris-
diction. The tangles of law ap-
pear to be difficult for the aver
age mind to solve. There is no
doubt but what the horses were
stolen and that the guilty par
ties were caught with the ami
mails in their possession, and the
guilty ones should be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.
But which county has the right
to prosecute seems to be the
question. 1t the supposed guilty
persons are turned loose without
a trial because the two counties

Simpler Living at the Capital.

The extravaganza and high style of
living assumed by the modern congress
men, has become such matter of no
toriety that the press of the country is
being stirred up to talk very plainly
about the matter. The Charleston News
and Courier has some very sensible re-
marks concerning the new customs. 1t
says: We are not prepared as yet to say
that the proposed increase of congress
sional salaries should be defeated, but
we do deprecate the tendency toward
expensive living in the cities as COM
pared with that of the country. The
vanity of congressman who was
content at a $3-a-day hotel in Wash
ington 10 years ago requires $6-a-
day hotel now. His desire, and that
of his wife, is to live in something
like the style of the member from
Pittsburg or Providence. Five thou
sand a year would still maintain some
father from a small city in the South,
but it is a hardship not to have an
automobile for mother and the girls
and the 80 per cent of increase is
in the requirements for automobile,
high priced hotels where bigger tips
are demanded, and costlier frocks for
the afternoon teas and evening recep-
tions. The congressman who used to
pay S75 a month for board may now
obtain the same board for 500 which
is an increase of about $3.50 a year.
but the congressman with the sand in
their gizzards to live at boarding houses,
instead of apartment houses" are
mostly dead.
much to the country if the style of
living at Washington could be typical
of frugal, respectable living anywhere
in the country outside of the centers
of wealth and, by keeping the salaries
at modest figure. much would be done
to prevent the capital from becoming
place of vulgar display. We are old
fashioned enough to prefer that the
capital of the republic be a community
in which the country farmer or mer-
chant in his SIS suit of clothes and 81
hat, may feel not out of place, than
that it be renowned for its gayeties and
as a city of elegance and luxury, in which
only the extremely wellto-do could feel
at home.

same time, let the proper care be taken
that no man should be elected to any
high office who will not assist the great
majority of the people of Vermont in
again exercising full control of their
highways. The natural Vermonter has
no sympathy with any attempt to in
fringe upon the fundamental rights of
the people. Still less when they perceive
that the only object of such infringement
is to increase the profits of several large
trusts existing in other States, and per-
haps add to the qualification of few of
the more selfish sort, who pay little or no
attention to either the pleasures, COM
forts or safety of their neighbors.
We shall discuss this law more in de-
tail when we shall have received an

Under His SIGNATURE.

Discussion often arises as t.
which is the correct expression, Gun
der his signature" or cover his sig
nature" says Chicago News. The
use of cover" grew out of a miscon-
ception of the real meaning of that
word in this case, the notion being
that it should be used because the
signature Is at the bottom of a writ
ten instrument. But there is no al
fusion to place or position in the
expression here; it is similar to
'under hand and seal" under
oath" etc.

DEAR Mr.. BATTELL:
The legislature adjourned this morn
ing at 8.
l have no doubt that a majority of
the House of Representatives was dis
posed to pass such an automobile law,
as was introduced by MIR. Cady, and if
he could have acted rs he wished, with
out interference, the House would have
passed blIl permitting tnwus to pro-
hibit the use of their highways, except
thoroughfares, by motor vehicles. Such
"a bill, am equally well satisfied, could
not have passed the Senate.
An automobile bill was passed at the
last moment of the session, too late for
me to obtain a copy. 1t was not printed,
being reported by a conference commit
tee, and very much like Mr.. Bailey S
amendments, which were printed in the
Free Press of December H.
Yours truly,
WIN. b, G.. STICKNEY.

Egypt has been regarded by some
people as the land of pyramids and
mummies only. but it has from time
lmmemorial had reputation for
onions. Ancient Egyptians swore by
the onion and regarded the plant as
sacred. The inscription on the pyra-
mid of Chcops tells us that the work
men had onions given to them, aud
from the Bible we learn that the He
brews, when slaves under Pharaoh,
enjoyed these bulbs. and that when far
away they remembered the leeks and
the onions and the garlic" The Egyp-
ton onion is handsome and useful
vegetable. and by selecting the best
strains of seed the quality tends. year
by year, to improve. The Egyptian
knows two varieties, the "Baali' and
the "Miskaoui." but supplies of the lat
ter kind are seldom sent abroad, as
they absorb so much moisture from the
frequently irrigated ground in which
they are grown that they do not stand
a sea voyage well. The "Baali' onion
is the more popular Egyptian onion
and is grown in yellow soil, which is
sparingly watered while the bulbs are
maturing, in order that the onions may
stand lengthy sea voyage with little
risk of sprouting.

The word "program' is one of
those suggested by the so called
spelling reform, but it has been
used by many persons for long
time instead of programme" All
the best dictionaries note both
forms of the word, but they give
preference to programme" be-
cause it is more regular. In Greek,
Latin and italian the word is pro-
gramma, and in French it is pro-
gramme. Some authorities object
to the shorter form because the
tendency will be to lead to a mis-
pronunciation, pro-grum, with the
first syllable distinctly accented and
the last syllable slurred. The die
tionaries say that in both forms the
second syllable should have the dis
tinct "am" sound, programme or
program, not pro-grum.-Chicago

Why a Shoe Shines,

Every now and then some one
gives a reason for the polish that a
BACKED shoe takes. Here is the sim
plest explanation: Polish on any
substance is the production, by fric-
ton, of that degree of smoothness
in the surface layer of its particle.
that will make them readily reflect
the light. The backing spread over
shoes is only slightly absorbed, and
brisk friction, by rubbing, gives il
the required smoothness to produc.
the shining effect.
