The roundup is a yearly event typical
of the west.
The purpose is to separate the cattle
according to brands, brand the calves.
and ship certain beef cattle to the mar
ket.
The roundup on this range is applic-
2ble to modern merchandising methods in
that stocks are rounded up annually in
order that no old goods may be carried
over and thus avoiding the accumulation.
But the roundup of merchandis means
the placing of an entire stock on sale.
for there is small accumulation of stock
when department stores regularly have
sales.
On the range the personal life Of the
cowboy is interesting.
Men of all circumstances are there-even
The exhilaration Of the swift chase,
life close to nature, fascinates and holds
them.
1t is a hard life and yet picturesque.
A roundup on clear spring. night
lends a peculiar charm to the landscape.
The wagons stand near & stream under

The saddle horses are picketed.
AT midnight n lonely rider gallOps into
camp. He arouses two of the sleepers and
tells them TO rustic out; and in minute
he himself is rolled up and asleep.
The men pull on boots buckle on spurs,
take the brides from the bed and rush to
where their horses are staked. AS the
saddle touches the back of the sleeping
bronchos the cowboy is astride the spurs
are dug into the TANKS, and away with
q rush goes the horse and rider into the
somber night. the clatter of the hoofs
growing fainter and fainter.

YERKES DIES
IN NEW YORK
Well Known Traction Magnate Loses
in His Long Fight With
Death.

New York, Dec. 3O.-Charles T.
Yerkes, the former Chicago street rail
way magnate and builder of the new
London underground system, is dead.
Mr.. Yerkes passed away at 2:2O in the
afternoon in his apartments at the
Waldorf Astoria hotel.
Mr.. Yerkes has been ill for some
time with complication of diseases.
During the past summer he had a
rather serious illness in London but re-
covered sufficient to permit him to
come to the United States. His cOndi-
ton became serious soon after his ar
rival, however, and for several weeks
he has been serious i'll at the Waldof-
Astoria hotel in this city During his
last illness he several times was
reputed to be in a dying condition.
Mr.. Yerkes was born in Philadelphia
in 1887.

Origin of BOnfires.

BOnfreS are survival Of the rites
Of Baal and Moloch When Christian
ity ruled old ways and customs could
be abolished, and so the heather, still
laundering after the ancient deities, but
half controlled by pope or bishop, made
their bonfires on the eve of ST. Peter
or st. John. One use of bonfires in the
not so far distant past was as means
of disinfection. In his History of the
Plague" Defoe tells of bonfires in Lon
don streets. There is reason to suppose
that in kindling such fires there was
still a remnant Of superstition left. 1t
was in measure a sacrifice to Baal.
AS to the excellence of the method Of
making fires to drive away plague
the benefit would be questionable.
Anyhow it may be- dwelt upon as the
earliest effort made toward cremation,
for it was of some slight use when an
infected neighborhood caught fire and
was reduced to ashes. But, then, the
remedy might have been worse than
the disease.

concentration Of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan Mining company at Wardner
was blown up with dynamite by 1000
of the Occur d'Alene union miners,
Governor Steunenberg declared martial
law in ShoshOne county, and with
the assistance of United States troops
conducted the county government for
nearly one year. Shoshone county has
offered a reward of $4,000 for the APP
prehension of the murderers, and has
sent it's sheriff to assist in the search.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan Min
Ing company. in 1899 employed non
union men in it's mines, and for many
months a bitter contest was waged by
the Miners union against the COM
pany, which eliminated in the blowing
up Of the company's concentration and
tho destruction of property valued at
$3O0.000 The miners seized an engine
at Wallace, and making up train of
twenty fiat cars rode to Wardner, Il
distance of twelve miles, each of the
1000 men on board carrying stick
of dynamite.
When WarGner was reached the
men marched to the concentration, and
deposited the dynamite in the mill.
The dynamite was exploded and the
mill blown to atoms. In fight with
the employees of the mill three Of the
strikers were killed. United States
troops were sent into the district and
General III. G. Merriam was placed in
command. He put Gordon about the
district, and with the troops at his
command arrested more than LOCO
men, took them to Wardner and con-
fined them in an Enclosure known as
the ''bull PEN
Governor Steunenberg declared mar
tial law in the county, removed the
county officials, and sent a represent
ative to Wardner to administer the
county affairs. After long trial the
leaders of the instruction were sent
to prison.
The matter aroused such widespread
interest that a congressional inquiry
was ordered. The Republican members
of the commission made report up
holding Governor Steunenberg al
though he was Democrat, and PreSi-
dent Mckinley. The Democrats, I'M
der the leadership of Representative
Sulzer, of New York, made minority
report censuring the state and nation
al administrations. The bitterness
against Governor Steunenberg was ac-
centuated by the fact that be was at
the time of his incumbency member

MANCl.ED AND SLAIN BYA BOMB
Deviltry Done at His Own Gate
and Done with Most Ter
rible Effect
Believed To Be an Echo of the Occur
dAlene Thuggery, Upon Which
He Laid a Heavy Hand
in 1899,

Boise, Ida, Jan Frank Steumen-
berg, ex-governor of this state, was
killed at his home in the suburb Of
Caldwell a dynamite bomb had been
placed at his front gate with a con-
trivance by which it was exploded as
he entered. Both legs were blown off,
and he lived but twenty minutes. A
man has been arrested at Caldwell
who, the officers think. may be the
assassin of Ex-Governor Steunenberg
His name has not been reported. Five
men in all have been detained on trivial
charges in order that their where
abouts may be looked up.
How the Bomb Was Exploded.
When daylight dawned Oh the scene
of the tragedy it was found that the
dynamite had been exploded by pulling
q wire. Pieces of wire and WaXed
fish line were found in the trees on the
lawn. Further it is believed that two
bombs were used, to make certain of
carrying out the purpose of the assas-
sinatiOn. They seem to have been to-
gether, both being exploded at once.
1t was quite definitely determined dur
ing the night that the mine was fired
by wire The explosive was placed
against the post against which the
gate closed, and on the inside of the
fence.
Assassin Knew Steunenberg's Habit.
That post was to the victims left as
he entered, but the force of the ex-
plos0n caught him on the right show
ing that he turned partly in closing
the gate. Had the mine been set to go
off from the movement of the gate the
explosion would have occurred as he
went in, and it is therefore certain the
mine was fired by a Wire and that the
assassin, knowing his habit of making
the stop to close the gate, waited un-
til he turned around
Charged to Labor Dynamitards.
There is no known reason for the
outrage, but it is charged to some
member of the infamous elmer Cir,
cle'' of the Couer d'Alene dynamiters,
whom he prosecuted so relentlessly in
1899 while he was governor. Governor
GOoding is prepared to put the full
support of the state behind the officials
in running down the perpetrators Of
the crime. 1t is thought proba BILE that
the leading detective agencies of the
country will be asked to send some of
their best men to the scene, and the
state will offer as great a reward as
the governor may find he has power to
propose.

They worship Smallpox.

His auditors gave gasp Of horror.
"But don't misunderstood me. Don't

II don't mean to say that they love
smallpox and desire it. On the con-
trary, they loathe and fear it; hence
their worship, worship born Of hate
and terror.

MANY PRINTERS ON STRIKE
Struggle for an Eighth Hour Day With
out Loss of Wages Has Be-
gun Everywhere.

New York, Jan. 2.-FOr the first time
since the organization of the Interna-
tional Typographical union a general
strike went into effect today in every
shop in the United States and Canada
where the employer refused to grant
an eight-hour day The printers are
determined to win, and the Typothetae,
the employers union, is equally deter
mined.
In this city probably less than 500
had to strike. News from other points
give the following numbers of strikers:
Philadelphia, 1000; Providence, r. l.,
men out in 45 shops; Louisville, KY,
60 men; Columbus, O., 1875; Los An
geles, Cal, 125. The strike began in
many other cities which have not re-
ported. AT Port Huron Mich, the men
got the eight-hour day by conceding
80 cents a week reduction of wages.
Chicago Jan g - After eighteen
weeks of strike the eight-hour day goes
into effect in approximately three
fourths Of the book and job printing
shops of Chicago. The large establish
ments controlled by the Typothetae,

Deed Was Done with Nitro -Glycerine
His Life Had Been Threatened.

Deed Was Done with Nitro-Glycerine
His Life Had Been Threatened.
The officers at Caldwell have three
men whom they are sweating vigor-
Ously, believing one or more of them
have some knowledge of the crime
One is named Hogan, and is said to
have been a miner. He has been
around here for three weeks and has
told tiimsy stories about his business.
Another is a stranger who appeared
at one Of the hotels half III hour aft
er the explosion, took a bed, and re-
fused to register. When pressed to give
his name he said they might call him
Smith. The third is a Russian, who
has been at Caldwell at times for three
years. He calls himself Smith. This
man has been free drinker, but Sat
urday no one could induce him to take
a drink.
1t seems settled that the explosive
used was not giant powder. Those hay
ing knowledge of such substances and
who have examined the scene state
that the explosive was undoubtedly
nitro glycerine. 1t was in a metallic
case, the metal being a combination
of tin and zine. A portion of the me-
chanism has been found, including the
trigger used in firing the charge. The
nipple used was such as is found on an
old-hashioned muzzle-loader shotgun.
Pieces of metal were found sticking
in all the trees.
Governor Gooding, after having
spent the day at the scene, says there
is only one conclusion-that Governor
Steunenberg was killed for the stand
he took at the time of the Occur
d'Alene riots. 1t transpires that Steu-
nenberg received a letter of warning
while in Washington about one and a
half years ago. 1t stated that his time
was short. Some such letters were
also received several years ago
