BANKERS OUR GUESTS

The Idaho state bankers began ar
irving in the city last evening and
have continued to do so since that
time. This morning they opened
their session in Sander hall with an
attendance of about so, and after a
prayer by Rev. Barker, Earl Sanders,
city attorney, welcomed the bankers
to Occur d'Alene in very appropri
ate address. This address was to
have been made by Mayor Collins,
but as he has not been in the best of
health for the past week, he let the
magic mantle fall upon the shoulders
of Mr.. Sander. This was followed
by greeting by Boyd Hamilton,
cashier Of the Occur d'Alene Bank
& Trust company, who welcomed the
visitors in behalf of the clearing
house association in a pleasing man
ner.
j. 9. White rendered the bankers
the hospitality of the Commercial
club and in few words assured them
of their welcome and the satisfacti on
the CLUB feels at meeting them on the
shores of our beautiful lake.
After the visitors and citizens had
become acquainted the association en-
tered into the business routine and
several committees were appointed,
after which they adjourned to meet
again at 1880 O'Clock, when the re.
ports of the committees we're heard,
new legislation discussed, and off,
GERS elected for the coming year.

National bank of Spokane, gave a

by several prominent democrats of
this and Shoshone counties. The
speaker was introduced by ]. l.. Mo

OF the organization of the American

with true American citizens. He re-
ferred to the Edmonds Tucker act
which caused hundreds to be sent to

titled by the church sand its people,

THE conviction of Senator Burton
of Kansas, by the supreme court of
the United States, will be heartily
approved by the public. Burton was
long ago convicted in the minds of
the people, but his position and in
fiuence was such that he has been
able to delay serving his time for a
couple of years, and it is no sure
thing now that he will serve term
in the penitentiary as he is asking
for new trial. Burton is the second
Q. S. senator to be convicted during
the past two years, but Mitchell had
the good judgment to lay down and
die after being convicted and thus
saved his state the humiliation of
seeing its senator serving a term
ia prison. There are several other
L, S. senators who ought to be in
prison, and probably will be one of
these fine days.

the house to concur before it becomes
a law 1t was not what the president
wanted, neither will it meet with the
entire approval of the people, but it
is step in the right direction. In
this connection there was d general
row brought on between a half dozen
senators and the presindent, in which
apparently some one lied. However,
it is a matter of Indifference to the
public just what the president did or
did not say to ex-senator Chandler,
who repeated the conversation to
Senator Tillman, or what Senator
Aldridge said the president told him
what it was reported to him that
Senator Ti1lman had said. A
peculiar thing about the general
mix up is why or how Senator Bailey
imagined that he was concerned in
the affair, or why he should indulge in
such scathing remarks about an sim

president got himself into a pretty
bad box in flirting with his political
enemies on the rate bill, which

The following e&tract from letter
written by lady who passed safely
through the San Francisco earth
quake and fire is interesting reading:
"Our little family was more fortunate
than any other that know of. The
chimney to our house fell, but that
was the only damage to it. OF course
lost hundreds of dollars in brie-a-
brac and dishes, but people can live
without brie-a=bra6, and there are
tin plates in the market. L cried
when 1 saw my wedding presents
broken into hundreds of pieces at
my feet. What priced most highly
was very large, elegant cut-glass
vace standing on a silver base. In
all these years, whenever there was
an earthquake, L always grabbed that
vaCe. When 1 went to the country
every summer 1 tucked it up in
the middle of the bed. Well, now
find that people can live very nicely
without cut-glass vaces, and as for
bric-a -brac, they are such a trouble
to dust and care for that 1 think 1
will dispense with them in the future
When 1 saw the thousands of poor
homeless people aeeing from the
ever advancing flames, with nothing
except what they had on their backs,
realized how Insignificant were my
losses. When 1 think of the thou
sands of beautiful and happy homes
destroyed, and of the thousands of
wrecked and ruined families, l real
ize more fully than ever before how
much have to be thankful for. 1t
makes me heart-sIck to think that
many of these people may never have
homes again, but who can say that
after all it may not have been
for the best? Now that it is all over
many amusing as well as pathetic in
cidents are recalled. One poor woman
tramped for miles carrying in one
hand bird cage with dead bird in
it, and on the other arm an old broken
picture frame. 1t is indeed a pitt
able sight to see dear old Frisco,
| SO recently the falreSt gem OF the
Pacific, but now charred and dis
torted heap of ruins and debris. 1t

the newspapers represent it to be.
Upon this condition the newspapers
do not enlarge. The dust is some
thing terrible, and then the little
quakes are a constant reminder of
what has happened, and what many
fear may again occur. But the peo-
pie who really belong here are so
brave, so patient. They will rebuild
the city far more beautiful than
ever, for the blood of the Argonauts
is in their veins, but to me it will
never again be the Frisco which I
knew so long and loved so we'll"

The mother and sister of r. K.
Minsen arrived last week from San
Francisco, and will spend a few
weeks here as the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Minsen. They passed through the
earthquake and fires Immediately
following it without losing their
homes, but some time after that one
of their neighbours built a fire in the
stove in the house. and owing to a
defective fne, the house caught fire,
which spread to the adjoining houses,
and as a consequence of this disre-
gard of the mayors orders they lost
their property. This is only one of
many instances of similar disasters
which followed the big blaze by dis
obediencd to the mayors orders.

THERE is a keen rivalry among the

THERE is keen rivalry among the
Douglas and Bisbee newspapers.
The Review and the International
American recently had both criminal
and civil libel suits fled against
them, and now the Douglas Dispatch,
realizing the vast amount of free
advertising its opponents received,
has somehow managed to have libel
suit brought against it for $4,000.
The small amount of the damages
claimed would lead one to believe
that Editor Dorr is "piker." Had
the suit been for 100000 or 5000, 900,
it would have looked more like bust
ness, A suit for $4,000 is entirely too
cheap to be effective advertising.
