during his recital of the alleged at

that although he had come to the con-

COEUR DALENE Potato CROP
About $4,000 for the Rancher is
Realized.

The potato crop this year in the
immediate vicinity OF Occur d'AIene
has been very good. much better than
in years gone by. While only an es-
Innate can be made. still the chances
are that 1t will be an under estima-
tion rather than otherwise.
The Malloy brothers took over
$500 sacks from their patch plant
ed at Dalton Gardens. These made
three large carloads which were sold
and marketed at Spokane. These
were the lowest priced potatoes dur
Ing the fall, bringing about rs cents
per sack. John Booth had portion
OF ten acres planted which yielded
him over 500 sacks. Another man
raised 1900 sacks and still another,
500 sacks. These represent the yield
of Dalton Gardens. The Hayden
lake district had as large a yield.
The remainder Of the adjacen. coun-
try, tributary to Occur d'Alene is es-
timated TO have yielded one half as
much as all Dalton Gardens and Hay
den lake combined. with this advan-
tage they brought a much better
price.
The average price brought by
those sold this fall and those held for
the spring market will exceed 81
per sack. The best yield so far re-
ported comes from c. b. Kings place
near Hayden lake. Mr. Kelley who
conducted his ranch this year. plant
ed one half acre this spring. From
It he gathered nearly $50 sacks
which Melted him over 1896 besides
those kept for home use. These were
chiefly sold to logging camps as was
also true In some other cases.
To sum up. In the territory tribu-
tary to Occur d'Alene over $4,000
sacks OF potatoes were dug for mark
ct, representing over $4,000 to the
ranchers.

GOMPERS CREATES
BIG SENSATION
Exposes An Alleged Attempt at
Bribery

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 21.-A great
sensation was created in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor by President
Gompers in his speech replying to the
attacks upon him and other oficers
OF the federation by the manufactur-
ers' association, when he told Of an
alleged attempt to bride him at the
Victoria hotel, New York, in October,
by a young newspaper man giving
his name as Charles Brandenburg,
the latter, President Gompers said,
having declared he represented the
National Manufacturer association,
and was prepared to offer him i'm
munity from all exposures and make
him financially secure for the remain
der of his life If he would sign a GER
tain paper and otherwise aid in the
exposure of the other leaders in the
American Federation of Labor, with
the view to virtually destroying the
influence of organized labor"
The paper, President Gompers said,
purported to have been signed when
he (Gompers) was i'll in 1895. This

nothing to do with the question OF
private property, capitalism, or state
ownership. In his own words:
To say that the institution Of
private property excites and fayors
war is absurd. History proves that
the majority of wars spring from
race antagOnism and popular pas
sion. The socalled captalistic inter-
ests are better promoted by peace
than BY war. Merchants, manufact-
urers, landed proprietors, even flnan-
ciers, all those In, who in a word,
are TO be called owners, consider
war as something to be dreaded, a
disturbance in the order of things
which at any moment may bring ruin
upon them. Without being antimil-
itarists they are pacifsts in the full
sense Of the term"
This learned writer admits that
the Boer war was indeed brought
about by the financial schemes OF
the gOldminers In South Africa, but
even In this case, he adds, we must
not lose sight of another motive.
The spirit Of Imperialism which per-
vades the English nation could not
tolerate close rivalry within the
same territory. Mr.. Leroy Beaulieu
then proceeds to show that Social
istic collectivism would make the
danger of war still greater than it
is at present. He writes:
Socialism or collectivism, far
from eliminating or even diminish
ing the causes Of war, would largely
increase them. The transformation
Of all economic relations between the
various nations into affairs of state
would multiply the points of contact
and friction between the various
governments. Such friction as now
occurs between individuals would
thus become international. Consid-
er two aspects only of this problem
namely, the interchange Of merchan-
disc and the migration Of people
from one nation to another. How
could a collectivist system regulate
these? Should the several govern
ments undertake the acquisition and
expectation of all national merchan-
disc, what complications, what con-
fiicts would naturally arise! Still
more serious would be the question
of emigration. Even under the pres
emit system frequent disputes between
different governments arise on the
subject of emigration and the treat
ment of emigrants and a limitation
in number Of foreigners to be admit
ted into the country. But when the
transportation Of emigrants Is made
matter Of state policy both in the
countries of teeming population and
those Of less thickly populated ter
ritory, there would be still more SER
ious ground for conflicts. National
jealousies would burst out more
fiereely and more violently among
the lower classes Of the peoples. as is
proved by the attack on the japanese
and Chinese by the people Of Califor-
mia, and on all emigrants whatsoever
by the people Of Australia. There is
no doubt whatever that under a col
lectivist regime wars would be more
frequent, more prolonged, and more
cruel than ever."-TranslatiOn made

was quite a relief for her to turn to van
deloup, with a keen tongue and clever
brains.
Vandeioup had prospered in his little
venture in the mining market, for the
Maggie Reef shares ran up rapidly. A
telegram was published from the manager
stating a rich reef had been struck. Speci-
mems of the very richest kind were dis
played in Melbourne, and the con6ding
public suddenly woke to the fact that a
golden tide was flowing past their doors.
They rushed the share market, and in two
weeks the Maggie Reef shares ran from
four shillings TO as many pounds. Vande-
loup intended to sell at one pound, but
when he san the rapid rise and heard
every one talking about this reef, he held
his shares till they touched four pounds,
then, quite satisfied with his profit, he
sold out at once and pocketed nearly ten
thousand pounds, so that he was provided
for the rest of his life.
Kitty meanwhile had become q great
favorite with the Wopples family, and
they made a wonderful pet of her. OF
course, being in Rome, she did as the Ro.

the family name for dramatic reasons.

Life Preserver and Closed Door.
The business of the liver is to manu-
facture antidotes for poisons, says SaI-
derson's Magazine 1t is a rendering
establishment to which the little corpses
that accumulate in the body are car
ried to be destroyed, just as in the
cities dead animals are gathered up by
a scavenger and converted into useful
things
All the corpuscles OF the body die
every six weeks. Every second of our
lives something like 100000 of these
red cells have to be disposed of and the
liver does part Of the work of grinding
them up and working them over into
something useful.
The red corpuscles have potash in
them, which is used for making bile.
The bile Is a kind Of lye for making
soap In the small intestines. The soap,
like all good homemade soaps, is dis
infectant; it Is splendid antiseptic
and gerrnicide.
The c0loring matter Is carefully
saved out of these red cells, and sent
back into the body to be used for dye
ing the hair, tinting the skin and paint
ing the dark chambers of the eye where
the photOgraphipg Is done.
Ii the liver does not do this work as
efficiently as it ought, these little
corpses accumulate In the body. In
other words, the body becomes a sepul-
cher and We carry about with US dead
things that should have been discharg-
ed from the body through the bowels.
the Kidneys, the skin and the lungs,
and should have returned to dust again.
The liver Is closed door which
keeps poisons out of the rest of the
body. The kidneys, skin and lungs are
| open doors to let the poisons escape
from the body. When there comes such
a flood upon the liver 1t cannot keep
the door shut 1t Is forced open a little
way and lets the poiscns through into
the blood
Then the blood is not purified. the
Impurities go through and the body be-
comes filled with them. The brain be-
comes confused, dull, stupid and the
man feels bilious; the poisons get into
the muscles and he feels weary and
worn out; they get into the nerves and
he has sciatica or lumbago; the nerve
centers get irritable and inefficient and
there Is nervous exhaustion and per.
haps melancholia
All the food taken into the stomach
is filtered by the liver before 1t is alb
sorbed- That is why one can, with ap-
parent impunity, take such things as
tea and coffee, whisky, beer tobacco
etc. All these Impurities are passed
through the liver before they get into
the general circulation. If they shouId
go straight to the brain the drinke,
would die shortly after taking his glass
of whisky.
When the liver IS plump and healthy
full of glycogen made from the blood
1t has a wonderful faculty of DESTROY
ing pOisOns; but a starved liver can
not do this. A dose OF medicine taken
on an empty stomach Is much more
powerful In its effects than a simila,
dose taken when the stomach furnishes
the liver with material which II make.
use of to fight polsons.
