RETURNING SANITY.

1t affords THE TRIBUNE pleas
ure to see Idaho newspapers be-
coming sane once more on the
prosecution of the Steunenberg
murderer or murderers. Those
papers which are Internationally
to Governor Gooding claimed at
first that it was absolutely nee
essary to re-elect him in order to
bring the guilty men to justice.
The only paper still possessed OF
this absurd idea is the Boise
Statesman, which was never
known to be right on anything
not taken bodily from the Chi
cago Record Herald. The pros
ecution of the men under indict-
ment for that foul murder; and
in case they are innocent, the ap-
prehension of the guilty men,
will be as ably and determlnedly
prosecuted by any man men,
toned for the position by either
political party as by Governor
Gooding. This is not an issue
in Idaho, and the cause will
only be injured by attempting
to make it one. THE TRIBUNE
has no fight to make against
any newspaper that believes the
reelection of Governor Gooding
to be the proper thing. But the
Steunenburg case should not be
dragged in. If we admit that
every step taken by Governor
Gooding in the case was admi.
rable, no one can claim that he
did more than his simple duty
Has it come to a point in Amer
lean political life that because a
man does his duty in one III
stance, it is so extraordinary as
to be deserving of eternal praise
and perpetual acknowledgment
1t is expected of every man who

NOT UNDERSTOOD.

i Ne SuDeTnatorlal candidacy Oh
Hon. Edgar Wilson is not fully
understood in the north. Mr.
Wilson is known in North Idaho
as an able man, and one who rem
dered the state good service as its
representative in Congress. He
has been in private life for several
years, and it was not supposed he
would again aspire to the public
service The office of Governor
Of Idaho is an exalted position, is
rapidly becoming more important,
and consequently requires the best
effort of our big and broad minded
men.
There is no question but that
there is much antiGooding SEN
iiment in the state, that needs only
the forceful leadership Of some
strong man who is master of the
art of political organization to
make it an irresistible force. Until
Mr.. Wilson's announcement of his
candidacy no such man appeared.
The question naturally suggests
itself as he such leader?"
In letter to the Caldwell Trib-
une, Mr.. Wilson says:
eff the Republicans of the state
want me to be their candidate for
this Office, I am willing to accept
the responsibility of it.
I'm my opinion, a man who
would announce his candidacy over
his own signature, and make per-
sonal and unseemly fight for this
nomination, is one whose name
should be rejected by the party's
convention. 1t is beneath the dig
nifty of the high office, and any
man capable Of it would not be
worthy of the high honor. To
submit the question fairly to the
people, and let them manifest their
desire in the proper way and at the
proper time is, in my Judgment,
the right thing to do. More than
this could not do. This muca
am willing shall be done"
This is an ideal position for a
candidate to take, but there is g
serious question whether the policy
here outlined can be made to pre-
vail against machine politics. The
machine in Idaho is so strongly en-
trenched that hard rustling will be
required to dislodge it; and if Mr.
Wilson has any desire to win, OF
any hope of winning, he can better
accomplish that desire and realize
the hope by getting out and rust
ling for the nomination. Moscow

If we draw line through Tarsus
due north across the Peninsula OF
Asia Minor, and another through
Smyrna directly east, the two lines
will intercept in the volcanic region
of Mount Argaeus, where the cone
pyramids and pure cliff dwellings of
Cappadocia are found, writes j. r.
Sittington Sterrett, an English trav-
eler and artist, who has recently Wis
tied that out of the way country. The
whole region is of volcanic formation,
which covers a vast area extending
west to Seine and south to Soghanlu
Dere, and is composed of a deep layer
of pumice stone, tufa or peperine,
overlaid in the region of Tatlar by
rugged lava fields. The pumice or
tufa is of almost incredible thickness,
but the overlaid layer of lava is COM
paratively thin, not more than three
feet at any point. The tufa is so
soft that it can be dug away with the
thumbnail, SO that only time and
patience were necessary to excavate
it into chambers of any required size.
1t is known that a chamber 25 feet
long, 10 feet broad, and 10 feet high
was excavated by a single workman
in the space of thirty days.
In this region the troglodytes of
Cappadocia have the wonderful dwell
ings which were first described by
Paul Lukas, who travelled in Asia
Minor on the commission of Louis
XIV. His story was discredited, but
it is correct in every vital particular,
and he perhaps understated the truth
when he estimated the number of
cones at $4,000. The region was Wis
| tied in succession by Texier, Hamil-
| ton, Tschichatscheff, Ainsworth
| Barth and Mordtmann, but it is still
virtually unknown. The height of
the cones varies greatly, ranging per-
haps from so to 300 feet The tall
est cones usually stand in the center
| of an eroded valley, but not always
The process of disintegration by the
solvent action of water still continues,
of course, and in many cones the ex-
terror wall has been worn away to
such an extent that the chambers are
laid bare Such exposed chambers,
If they lie fairly in the sun, are used
for drying grapes and other fruit,
as they are safe against invasion by
animals. Often the cones are almost
perfect in shape and originally all of
them were crowned by caps of lava,
which were the primal cause of the
| cone formation. The caps maintain
their position as they form one inte-
grail conglomerate mass with the cone.

ON a MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT.
Struggle for Wealth Almost Equal to
Wall Street Frenzy.


A young fellow, fellow passenger,
was leaning upon the rail beside me,
looking upon the scene below. He told
me to watch and he would show me
some sport. He drew a dime out of
his pocket He waved his arm to at
tract the attention of the negroes
down upon the lower deck, and then
he flung the coin. 1t fell tinkling, and
rolled between two cotton bales. With
yells, the negroes rushed at it tumul-
tuously, piling over one another, a
tangled mass of waving arms and legs,
whence issued muffled groans and
grunts. Then, suddenly, the mass dis
solved again into a mob of rousters,
gaping up at us with rolling yellow
eyes, and heaving chests and dilated
nostrils. Another piece of silver
twinkled in the air and fell among
them. Leaping and grabbing, the
negroes snatched at the falling coin,
then plunged again into heap.
BY this time others of the passen-
gers had heard the noise and the
scufling. and soon quite crowd was
gathered along the rail A shower
of change began to fall upon the deck
below and into the crowd of now
half frantic blacks.
1t was a comical spectacle. A
little while before the negroes had been
quietly busted about their own affairs:
a handful of cheap silver had fallen
among them, and in less than a min
ate their small world was transformed
into a pandemonium- I have heard it
said that the same phenomenon occurs
sometimes on the stock exchange

TALE OF BIRDS DEVOTION

Stories of affection and apparent
reason among wild animals have d.
vided the "nature-writers" into two
schools. One believes that animals
act merely from instinct; the other
holds that the dumb brute feels and
reasons. In The Life of a Scotch
Naturalist Mr. Smiles quotes from
the journal of Thomas Edward the
story of how a little flock of terms
rescued wounded companion which
the naturalist had shot
I fired. and he came down with
broken wing, screaming as he fell in
to the water. The report of the gun,
together with his cries. brought to-
gether the party he had left, in order
that they might ascertain the cause

SORES ON HANDS.

Suffered for Long Time Without
ReIief-Doctor Was Afraid to Touch
Them-Cured by Cuticura. -
For long time suffered with
sores on the hands which were itch;
ing, painful and disagreeable. l had
three doctors, and derived no benefit
from any of them. One doctor said
he was afraid to touch my hands, SO
you must know how bad they were;
another said l never could be cured;
and the third said the sores were
caused by the dipping of my hands
in water in the dye-house where /
work. l saw in the papers about the
wonderful cures of the Cuticura Rene
dies and procured some of the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. In
three days after the application of the
Cutfcura Ointment my hands began
to peel and were better. The sore
ness disappeared, and they are now
smooth and clean, and l am still
working in the dye-house. Mrs. A. E.

Very often the doorways are quite
elaborate, and display an attempt at
architectural and decorative effect,
more especially in the case of cones
that have been turned into temples,
churches or chapels. On entering
the doorway of any of these cone
dwellings we find ourselves within
spacious chamber, about the walls of
which inches and shelves for the
storage of small household effects
have been cut into the stone. The
stairways leading to the upper stories
are like wells or round chimneys, and
one ascends to an upper story by
means of ladder holes cut in the rock.
The floor between the stories are usu-
ally thick enough to withstand any
weight that might be put upon it, but
occasionally the excayators miscalcu-
lated the thickness of the floor, and
so had to make one lofty chamber, in
stead of two. AS many as nine stories
may occur In one cone, but most have
only two, three, or four stories, which
can be counted by the windows.
Great numbers of the cone dwellings
are used to-day as dovecotes for hosts
of pigeons, the eggs and flesh of
which. are used by the cave jewellers.
Inc WINDOWS OF Sucn pigeon houses
are always walled in, holes being left
for the passage of the birds.
The natives of this region are still,
to all intents and purposes troglo-
dytes, but if we leave out of consid-
Grafton the fact that their dwellings
are at least partially underground,
they differ in habits and customs in
no whit from the ordinary Turkish
villagers with ordinary humdrum sur
roundings. Sometimes the front of
the house is built of blocks of pun
| ice stone, while all the rest of the
abode is subterranean, the cone or
| cliff being used as an annex; but in
most cases a modern dwelling is ex-
cavated, not in cone, but in the face
| of the bluff, and thus becomes a clifi
dwelling, properly so-called. This
| is true of the business street of the
town of Urgub, where the front room
or facade opening ON the street, is
the only room in the dwelling into
] which the light comes. The other

Paper Gas pipes.

Paper gas pipes are among the
novelties reported from Europe. Ma
lilla paper is cut UP into strips whose
width is equal to the length of the
pipe section to be used. The paper
bands are then passed into a vessel
illed with melted asphalt After COM
ng out of the bath the prepared
strip is rolled uniformly and very
lightly around an iron rod or pipe
which serves as the core and has the
same diameter which the gas pipe is
10 have. The rolling of the paper is
stopped when the right thickness has
been secured. After the pipe Sec
ton which is thus formed hiss been
put through high pressure it is COW
cred on the outside by a layer OF
sand which is pressed into the asphalt
while still hot The outer surface OF
the pipe is treated with a waterproof
compound. 1t is said that the pipe
is very tight and is cheaper than
metal piping.

rooms are in midnight darkness all
the year round.
The owner of such an abode can
extend his dwelling Indefinitely into
the bowels of the earth, a feature
which is not without it's advantage in
a land where the wise man conceals
the fact that he is wealthy. The in
terror chambers are used chiefly for
granaries and storage; even their
chaff, which is made to take the place
of our hay, is safely slowed away in
these dry and dark chambers.
The landscapes amid which the
modern troglodyte dwe1ls are never
tame, and are often startling. The
modern troglodytic usages add to
rather than detract from the general
weirdness of the prospect. The soil
is fertile and produces vegetables and
fruit, chiefly apricots of superb quail
ity. Indeed, one of the old travellers
claims this region as the original
home of the apricot. Garden and
desert are often close neighbors for
the reason that the garden fourishes
wherever the stone hats rotted suf-
ficiently; whereas the adjacent but
naked and unrotted stone is the most
barren of deserts. The real center of
these cones and troglodytic abodes is
the region about Udj Assaru, huge
mass of pumice stone rising in the
midst of many branching valleys.
The Turkish name means the Castle
of Udj, but it is not known whether
Udj was the name of some princeling
or of a district. 1t Is a mere shell,
honeycombed to the very pinnacle
with chambers sufficient in number
to satisfy even the wealthiest troglo-
dyte.
1t is very difficult to fix a date for
the origin of these cave dwellings.
They are mentic ned by no classical
author, except perhaps Cicero; but
there is an allusion in the works OF
Leo Diaconus, who fourished about
$50 A. D. Prof. Sayce. however, be

within the bell, and the usual cleo
trio apparatus connected with the
clappers. On pushing the pushbut-
ton the circuit is closed, the magnet
forcing the clapper to vibrate and
ring the bell. The bell and bell-ring-
ing apparatus is suspended upon a
wire hook, the wires from the bat
terry connecting with this hook and
not with the bell direct, the circuit
being continued through the wire
hook. In this way the bell can be sus-
pended instantly just as assembled
at the factory, without requiring the
connection of any wires, and can be
easily removed by simply lifting it
from the hook. Moreover, the bell
will always hang free and true, which
is essential to it's satisfactory opera
ton, and the appearance of the bell
is also much enhanced by the con-
cealment of the circuit wires.

Germs in Oysters.

MANY gallons, probably many bar
rels, of water are drawn through the
gills of each oyster each day." writes
Prof. Brooks of Johns Hopkins uni
versity, land the microscopic beings
that it may hold are strained out and
pushed along into the oysters mouth.
Each microscopic organism is a long
time in travelling from the point
where it first touches the gill to the
oysters stomach; all this while it IS
alive and capable of becoming the
parent of new generations when re-
moved from the gill and placed under
suitable conditions Most of these
organisms are wholesome to man, and
all that enter the oysters stomach
are quickly killed and converted into
its palatable and nutritious substance;
but SO long as they are travelling
along the gills all are alive and some
are extremely dangerous to man. The
oyster exercises choice in the se1ec-
ton of its food, rejecting some of the
miscropic organisms and swallowing
others; but those that are discharged
into the water with the sewage of cit
les are not, unfortunately, among the
ones that are rejected, and before
these have entered the oysters stom-
ach they are most favorably placed
for gaining entrance into human stom-
achs and multiplying there"
