Marshall Lake Mines.

News from Marshall lake (ldaho)
district regarding the mining condi-
lions is exceptionally favorable. Sew
eral good strikes have been reported.
j. G. Callahan, who came out yester-
day from Marshall lake, said that the
Bear Creek Tunnel and Milling com
pany had driven a tunnel into their
property encountering the ore ledge
at depth OF $50 feet below the surface
and that another tunnel will be driven
$50 feet below.
The Maxwell Mining and Milling
company has driven a tunnel which
strikes the ledge 200 feet below the
surface, and at this depth a large
quantity of free milling ore has been
reached.
The prospect is of unusual promise
and specimens which have beer
brought out to be assayed are said tc
be rich in gold ore.
At present the district is handi
capped with four feet of snow, but
work has not ceased, and plans are un
der way for great activity next sum

distinctly useful &c string prop" to en-
able the vlollnist to play simultaneous
ly on three strings of his instrument,
whereas heretofore it has been posi-
Bile for him to play sustained chords of
two notes only at time. Thus the do
minion Of the king Of instruments~
will be extended into the realm Of har-
mony as well as of melody
The new device itself is a small
wedge shaped piece of bridge wood In
serted on the violin bridge under the
G string. Its dimensions, while de-
pendent to some extent on the height of
the bridge on the particular violin on
which 1t is to be used and the charac-
ter of the music to be played, are ordi-
narlly as follows: Thickness, 1854 Of
an inch length, "a of an inch; width,
3-16 Of an inch, or slightly less. The
hypothenuse Of the prop is curved to
fit smoothly on the bridge of the vio-
lin, and a notch for the G string Is also
made. To erect the device on the violin
is an easy matter, 1t being only neces-
sary to turn down the G string about
tone, to insert the prop underneath
and then to tune up the string with
care. In effect It becomes component
part of the bridge itself, but it can al
ways be easily removed.
This method of elevating che G just
! enough to be sounded simultaneously
with the d and A strings takes away
the mechanical obstacle that Ole Bun
managed to overcome by means of a fiat
bridge and his remarkable tours de
force, but which no other vlollnist has
attempted to cope with.
That this method of playing is en-
tirely novel Is evidenced by the fact
that all works on orchestration have
stated that sustained chords on the vio-
lin are restricted to two notes and that
three and four voiced chords must be
played as arpeggios. But q new and
beautiful effect is now placed at the
command of the violinist, although 1t In
true that there are few compositions in
which use has been made of the possi-
bilities of writing beautiful chords on
the three lower strings of the violin
De Beriot has a notable passage in his
fifth concerto. But 1t remains chiefly
for future composers Of music for the
violin to enlarge the present excellent
repertory of the violin with compost
lions containing violin harmony.
The inventor has refrained from pat-
enting his device In order to make IL
more obtainable by violinists

LETTER TO CLERGY
MORAL LICENSE LEAGUE TO
CURB RUM HABIT.
object of League is to Have a Uni
form Restrictive Saloon License
Adopted by All the States Where
Prohibition is Not in Force-CalIs
for Earnest Consideration of People.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 70. The Ma
tional Moral License league, through
it's president, T. M. Gilmore, has Is
of the United States. After explaining
that the object of the league is to have
a uniform restrictive saloon license
adopted by all the states where prohi-
bition is not in force, the letter says:
We do not offer this law as a substi-
tute for prohibition that is, it is not
intended to interfere with the passage
of prohibition laws If the people desire
them, but it is intended to bring about
obedience to law where the business is
licensed.
Prohibitory laws that are being
passed in this country merely prohibit
the manufacture and sale, and do not
prohibit the purchase and use, and
all thinking men know that where a
demand exists, it will be supplied from
some source if the profit justiies the
risk in supplying it. Witness the de-
velopment of the mail order business
and of the moonshine business, as
shown by the figures of the internal
revenue department, the per capita
consumption of whisky having de-
creased with the spread of prohibition,
while the per capita consumption of
beer has largely increased.
If the anti-saloon league will agree
to it we will favor having an amend
ment to all prohibitory laws providing
heavy penalty for the purchase of al
cnhnlfo hnuaraonc or fnf. having tbona
in possession in prohibitory territory,
and this would mean prohibition.
But passage of laws will not prevent
the use of alcoholic beverages; that
is a matter of education and evolution.
Those interested in prohibition are
taking the ground that the manufac-
ture and distribution of alcoholic bev-
erages are wrong per Sc. If this be
true, then there is no question that
the Almighty was wrong in commend
ing the use of wine to "his chosen
people" and Christ was wrong in max
ing wine at the foot of Galilee and
he was wrong in selecting wine and
bread to commemorate his death.
Now, if those interested in the effort
to establish prohibition prove to the
satisfaction of the American people
that Christ did that which was wrong
that Christ committed a sin and thai
Christ set a bad example to future
generations, then we fear that they
will have succeeded, in so far as the
American people are concerned, in de
stroying the very foundation of Chris
tian faith.
1t is a strange suggestion to come
from men connected with the whisky
ministry, but we consider it a very
business to those connected with the
serious phase of this question. and one
that deserves the earnest thought o.
every man connected with the church

accompanied the battleships from this
port, but which turned north at
Smythe channel, 80 miles from the
western end of Magellan strait to pro-
coed through this passage to Telcah-

Owing to the heavy weather, the
warships were spread out over a con-
siderable stretch, but ALI seemed to be
making splendid progress in the face
of the strong winds.

RIDERS RAvAGE THE VILLAGE
Corral Citizens, Burn and Blow Up
Tobacco Barns.

Hopkinsville, KY, Feb. 10.-Sunday
mounted night riders, masked, heavily
armed, and wearing the insignia of a
secret clan, invaded Fredonia, Critten-
den county, captured James Scarberry,
operator OF the Cumberland Telephone
company, and cut all telephone con-
nections. They then forced Dave Pot
ter, a clerk in a drug store, to open
his store, in which they corralled sew
eral citizens and held them prisoners.
Leaving a large guard in the town,
the others galloped to the village of
View, five miles away, and blew up
Alfred III. Cardin's tobacco factory,
containing $4,000 pounds of tobacco.
and set fire to and destroyed Cardin's
barn, containing 10000 pounds of to-
bacco belonging to him and his crop
pers. The loss aggregates $4,000
with $4,000 insurance.
After firing volleys into the air, the
night riders returned through FIRE.

Eighty per cent of Crittenden county
farmers have tobacco pooled in the
society of equity. Mr.. Cardin is not a

aged 70 years, and was at one time a
candidate for governor on the popuist
ticket. The planters association has
no organization in this county.

How 10 Grow PIump.

1t is the UNIVERSAL rule, says MrA.
Scanlon, that wives Of successful men
are fat. If they are not, she asserts,
II Is proof positive that they do not
love their husbands. A fat girl, says
Mrs Scanlon, has all the best of the
thin. willowy creatures, In showiness,
in disposition and In temperament.
Mrs. Scanlon hits obesity cures a hard
blow by thus declaring that to be hap
py women must be fat.
1.-THE reason Is plain" declares Mrs.
Scanlon. ''rhe wives OF the successful
men are fat because they are not wor-
ried about the next months rent and
the children's clothes. People who pity
fat women simply show their lgnor-
ance; women who complain because
they are stout make themselves un-
happy when they should be the happi-
est women on earth. "-Cleveland NewA

THE STEPTOE MONUMENT
Anniversary, Collecting More
Money for Monument?

The Steptoe battle was an historic
event, taking place so years ago this
coming May. 1t is the purpose to
lerect a monument on the spot where
.Sfhe last stand was made with the In
dams, to be dedicated on this coming
50th anniversary. Several hundred
dollars have been raised, the people
of the Inland Empire responding lib
orally considering the brief time since
the movement was inaugurated But
the Gazette would suggest, subject to
the approval of the society that orig
mated the idea and has carried it
forward that a broader and mere
comprehensive plan be adopted 1t
is Inis: Instead of now erecting a
monument commemorative so impor-
tant an event, why not dedicate the
ground where the monument is to
stand (the citizens of Rosalia will do
nate the land) on this 50th anniver-
sary. postponiDg the erection of the
monument for say two years, so that
a large sum of money may be raised
and a monument of solidity and pro-
portions be erected that can be point
ed to with pride by all citizens of the
nation? The legislature of the state
of Washington and the congress Of the
United States should be asked to as
sist in this matter, and no doubt
would do so if given the opportunity
1t will commemorate an historic
event. and therefore is a matter OF
vnational interest. 1t should be erected
on scale to rank with the great
monuments of the nation. 1t should
be massive and heavy.
This is matter for thoughtful con
sideration, one which, we trust, will
be favorably acted upon.-Colfax Ga
zette.

SIR HENRY is FREE AT LAST
Held in Bondage Seven Months by
Bandit RaisuIi.

Tangier, Morocco, Feb. 12.-Caid
Sir Harry Mclean, who has been held
in bondage for the last seven months
by the bandit Raisuli, has been Off
cially turned over to the British
charge d'affaires here, in accordance
with the agreement between Raisuli
and the British government under
which Raisuli is to receive $200,0 600 as
ransom and guarantee of protection
at Rabat
When Raisuli arrived outside the
walls of Tangier with Mclean he sent
in a demand for permission to enter
the city, accompanied by 700 of his
soldiers. Sid Mohammed Gabbas, the
Moroccan foreign minister, natly re-
fused to allow him to do so, and
Raisuli, as the result of inducements
by the British charge d'affaires, came
in with Mclean and three domestics
When Mclean had been officially
turned over to British forces Gabbas
released the imprisoned Raisulians
and they departed undisturbed and al
most unnoticed.

Send 10000 Troops to Turkey.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-THE Russo
Turkish relations have entered upon
a menacing phase. Alarmed at the
unchecked Turkish concentrations on
the frontier of Persia and the mobil-
ization in Armenia, the Russian gov
eminent has decided to execute a for
midable military demonstration in re-
ply on the Turko-Persian frontier, dis
patching there complete expedition
of 10000 select troops from central
Russia, with full war equipment, and
it is acting with uncommon rapidity
with a view of overaweing the Turks
by decisive exhibition of force.

gallant young captain. Jealousy and
revenge-that's the story in three
words.
Capt. Butler was only one of many
victims of the wiles OF the fair charm
er, who as the wife OF Colonel Ather-
ton brought disgrace upon him and be-
came the talk of the army during their
residence in Cape Town while her hus-
band was at the front. The Duke Of
Westminster was one of Captain Yarde-
Buffers predecessors in her affections.
King Edward summoned him home to
marry the present Duchess Of West
minister and break off with Mrs. Ath-
erton. Yarde- Butler fell into the same
pitfall. He wrote letters processing I'M
dying love, promised to wed Mrs. Ath-
erton, and married Miss Denise Orme,
actress. Then he learned the fury Of a
woman scorned. His counsel, desiring
TO end the case, readily admitted the
promise to marry, and the captain must
pay the costs, but no damages.

Deny BattIeship Charges.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The navy de-
partment's absolute refutation of the
Reuterdahl charges that American
battleships are seriously defective
went to the president recently. Rear
Admiral Converse, president of the
board of construction, signed it. The
report may be summed up thus
Heavy armor plate is not below water
line, but on it. Russo-Japanese naval
battles showed that high-placed guns
were ineffective. Space about the
turret guns is 10 square feet instead
of 10 feet square.
