had happened. Suspecting that his
wife was making an effort to leave
him, he rushed to the Baltimore g.

ticket TO Cincinnati the home OF her
parents. He tried TO pcrFIade her
to get off the train and return home.

his wife on by force The police

on the train, but being unable to do
so, finally contcndod himself with
taking her grip and small pet dog.
The exciting episode at the BaIu-

Mr.. Roosevelt's denials that ne

But there has been every evidence

And when he broke loose with his
conspiracy charge, the correspond

MINING DIVIDENDS

In looking through our mining
exchanges we find all OF them be-
wailing the reductions in dividends
in their respective districts and
asserting that they will show an
average falling off Of SO per cent
throughout the United States. This
is certainly not true OF the silver
lead mines OF the Occur d. Alenes.
The Bunker Hill 4 Sullivan re-
duced its dividends by S3ls per
cent; The Federal company by 25
per cent; the Hercules and Hecla
not at all. With the exception of
the Success, a new dividend payer,
these are the only regularly pay
ing silver-lead mines in the district.
The only copper mine in the list,
the Snow Storm, has Of course had
to pass its dividend for a month or
two but it will soon be back among
the profit distributors.
1t is obvious therefore that the
slump iii metal prices has affected
the Occur d'Alcnes less than any
other district in the United States.
This il q fact that investors should
bear in mind and we find that it is
beginning to be appreciated on the
outside With the consequence that

HOT AIR NO GOOD

The time when hot air land we
have had plenty Of it, might be efii-
cacious in Strengthening out the
affairs Of the Idora company is past
and we are therefore sorry to see
Manager D. w. Peterson quoted as
follows in the Spokane Chronicle:
''plans are on foot whereby the
company will be amply financed
for continuing work all winter, the
directors and heaviest stockholders
having taken the matter in hand.
When the arrangements now under
way are completed the company
will be in better condition finan-
cially than. ever before. There
never has been any dispute as to
the value Of the property
This statement would have looked
more reasonable If the directors
and heaviest stockholders had
taken care to provide funds for
wages to the miners instead OF per-
hitting labor liens for over 81 600
to be levied against the property.
Besides this our information is that
the directors and heaviest stock
holders who are financially able
to shoulder the Idora company's
indebtedness have no intention OF
doing 80 while Mr.. Peterson, who
landed the company in its present
distrssful situation, retains con-
trolling interest in its stock.
Mr.. Peterson would have us
believe that the matter Of raising
$4,000 to pay off debts besides
sufficient finances to work the mine
throughout the winter is an easy
proposition. We trust he may
find it SO, but knowing what we
do about monetary conditions at
present and remembering that his
management during over year
Of prosperous times has re-
suited only in plunging the COM
pany into debt we may be excused
for being sceptical.
In the same interview he states
that a detailed report is now being
prepared for submission to the
shareholders. We are glad to hear
it as we trust it will convince the
shareholders if not Mr.. Peterson OF
the necessity Of a change in man
agment and reorganization of the
company.

What's the matter with Tom
Il. Johnson as democratic candidate
for the presidency, supposing he
does come from what is usually
considered safely republican
state? II business keeps going to
the demnition bowwows" like it
has OF late there is no assurance
that any particular state will 60
republican at the next election.
Johnson's career proves that he
cannot be handled by the moneyed
interests whether they bob up in
the form OF trusts, municipal
franchise gmbbcrs or banks.
The Murray Sun advises rs to let
politics alone for fear we shall
thereby spoil good mining paper.
The advice appears to us to be
well meant though there is spice
Of malice in it. We may con-
clude to abide by it 50 far as local
politics are concerned though we are
still Of the opinion that there is
great need Of a paper in Shoshone
county that will be independent
enough to consider republican and
democratic policies from some
other standpoint than that Of the
personal interests Of Senator Hey
burn or Harry l.. Day.
The country needs another dem
ocratic administration to check and
correct the evils due to a too long
pursuance OF the republican policy
Of letting things slide while the
moneyed interests buncoed the
people. Either Johnson Of Ohio or
Folk of Missouri would make an
ideal leader in a campaign to re-
store popular sovereignty and it is
our opinion that either could win
which is more than we could say
for Bryan.
Why don't the democrats of
Shoshone county get together as
democrats and get better acquainted
with each other? They might not
find each other half as bad as they
have been thinking. There is
never good time for a split in a
political party but there never
could be a worse one than right
now when all organized pull all
together might easily land the
county, state and national admin
istrations back under democratic
control.
We note from the daily papers
that more Of the strike breakers
have quit the telephone company
and that a new manager has been
If he wants to make a

Democratic hard times Of which
we have heard 80 much for years
from republican politicians and
newspapers were largely due to
crop failures and consequent bank
failures. We have had no crop
failures Of late. The banks can't
fail since they adopted the new
system Of issuing currency" Of
their own manufacture instead Of
real money. What then is the
cause Of present republican hard
times? We venture guess that it
is due to oyerspeculation by the in
tcrests who control the New York
banks in which the peoples money
is deposited. That is what
has locked up the money so that
those who own it can't get it.
