A Movable North Pole.

Captain Amundsen located the mag
netic pole in some out Of the way
place, and now an English theorlst is
convinced that the north pole has
shifted from its supposed mornings.
That Is to say. If the calculations of
all tho known explorers down to Peary
have been correct there Is no like
lihood that man extending his
tracks northward to the limit would
strike the pole, This Is because 1t has
been shifting eastward for years and
now keeps moving. Eventually he
thinks It Will be in Siberia. II 1t has
anything to do with sending billiards
down the American continent we shall
gladly make the ear present of
this cold storage plant.
II Is doubtful whether this In
genlous Engllshman's theory will
cause lessenlng OF exploration par
ties. Men Will be just as crazy to
prove that the pole Is not there as they
have been to prove that 1t is there.
Perhaps some daring party win make
a permanent camp on the alleged route
of the poles travel and wait for 1t to
come around II Is said that accumu-
lations Of ice are responsible for the
shifting OF the pole. Eventually 1t
will occur to somebody to dynamite
the mountains of Ice to make It dow
away faster and thus force the pole
to move on. Another idea would be to
concentrate powerful aerial currents
of electricity upon the Ice and melt 1t.
Anyway, II the pole Is movable some
thing Is doing 1t, and the theory opens
up beautiful field for speculation In
the domain where old notions have
long been exploded because nobody
could prove them.

TURNED MURDERER LOOSE.

Sheriff Travels to Chicago to Find
Prisoner Had Been Released.
STANDPOINT, Idaho, June ga

the charge of numbering George
Fondotus Doust had the necessary
papers to bring his man back before
he left and had wired the Chicago
police the day after he was notified
of the arrest that he would come af-
ter the man and for them to hold
him.
The murder was one of the most
dastardly crimes ever committed in
this section. Fondotus was slashed
to pieces with razor and held
against a stump until he died. His
clothing was rified and the murderer
got paltry sum for his deed.

the other fellows correspondent for

the train will pass the going will
average about 125 to $50 miles
day.
One of the most important stops
will be made at Lincoln, Neb., the
home of w. j. Bryan, the heir APP
parent to the democratic nomination
who will hold a reception for the Wis
iting delegates. After leaving Chi
cago the train will pass through
Dixon, Sterling and Morrison, ILL.,,
crossing the Mississippi river at Clin-
ton, Iowa, and subsequently passing
through Cedar Rapids, Des Moines
and Council Bluffs, Iowa, thence to
Omaha, Neb., and, after a brief stay
in Lincoln, will proceed to Denver
over a route to be selected later.
Tickets for the trip were issued
on the same plan as those used in
railroad travelling, and the fare is
identical with that charged by the
5IdHudIu IdllWdyS W Tie uSlSSdlS5
who prefer travelling by rail- These
tickets will be countersigned by the
mayors of the various towns through
which the delegates pass.
This is the first time in the his
tory of American transportation that
automobiles have been utilized for
long distance service in competition
with trunk line railroads, and Com
mitteeman Sullivan's selection of
this moved method of travel for his
delegates is a precedent. The tour
ing cars which will compose the train
each will seat seven passengers, and
are built on the same type of chaises
as that of the war message car, which

Purpose of Organization Is Further

SPOKANE, Wash, June 26.-Af-
ter repeated and energetic endeavor
by James II. Callbreath and three
weeks hard work by II. 8. Taylor
and H. l.. Thompson of Denver, a
permanent branch of the American
Mining congress was yesterday or
ganized in Spokane, entirely separate
from the Stopers of the World. The
purpose of the congress is the fur
therance of mining interests in the
field and legislative halls.
During two weeks Mr.. Taylor and
Mr.. Thompson have been making a
personal canvass in this city and vi
cinity with the result that So names
were yesterday announced for mem
bers, including w. j. Elmendorf, G..
M. Fassett, Andrew Laidlaw, w. w.
Merk, G. P. Robbins, Arthur Phillips
and numerous others operating in
the Occur d'Alenes, six City and
Washington camps. With the pres
ent roll of members 1t is shown that
there is no connection between the
congress and the Stopers of the
World, an entirely different organi-
cation, with an entirely different pur-
pose. The latter society, having been
organized here several months ago,
at first regarded the congress as
overlapping in its purposes and so
without utility here, but arguments
were advanced to show this was not
the case, and large number of per-
sons who belong to the Stopers have
signihed their intention of joining
the congress.
The following officers were elected:
President, w. J. Elmendorf; first
vice president, p. M. Baumgartner
second. Conrad Wolfe; third, G. M.
Fassett; treasurer, C. p. Robbins; a
board of directors, including the
above and the following. were also
chosen: F, G. Wood, L. X. Arm
strong. r. f. Collins and J. "a. haas.
The board of directors will choose a
permanent secretary to take Mr.. Tay-
lor's place. The meeting was ad-
journed to meet July 1 in the cham
Der of commerce assembly rooms.

Our Rathdrum friends have at last
found a reason why the county seat
should not be removed from that
town to this city, The few cases OF
diphtheria that have developed here
the past week furnished the argument
and they now claim that this city
is unhealthy and persons coming here
to transact public business would be
exposed TO dIphtheria and carry the
disease home to their family The
argument IL not very convincing, but
our friends across the prairie prob
ably get some consolation out of II

tions. As the Press has once before
stated, II Rathdrum will get on the

ONE TEST FOR PEARLS.
Berlin Hotel Porter's Experiment That
Was Not a Success.

The porter of one of the leading Ber-
lin hotels has just had curious adven-
ture. Some time ago a dealer in pearls
who was stopping at the hotel told him
an mfallible way to distinguish real
pearls from false, which was to put
them on the ground and stamp on them.
If real they would resist the test. If
false they would be crushed.
The porter. however, never had n
chance of putting this theory to the test
until few days ago. The director of a
well-known company in Berlin while
dining nj the hotel lost valuable pearl
pin. This was found by the waiter.
who gave it to the porter to return to
its owner.
The porter saw his opportunity had
come at last TO test the quality of a
pearl. He put the pin on the ground.
placed his heel on il and ground il to
powder. When the owner arrived to
claim it there was a somewhat stormy
scene but he was good natured enough
to consent TO say no more about the aft
fair on the porter refunding half the
value of the pin. GOO marks. In future
the porter will submit any iewelry he
may find for expert opinion Berlin I.o-
