The odd Guard" papers social
ed in this state have one quality in
which their critics of the
sanctimonious bawl and the
amen corner snifle are wholly
deficient. They put loyalty to
party principles, which is
adherence to the best interest of
of the pople, above men, factions,
prejudice and self interest.
They keep their noses in no
mans manure pile and if a
friend does seeming wrong, have
both the decency and the courage
to criticize him as they would a
foe. For that reason they are
the voice of the genuine Demo.
crazy of the state. If any of the
prayermeeting organs have ever
criticized their paragon and pet
for his chronic and long standing
alliance with Republicans, it is
not ofTecord.-Paris Mercury.

He went ON next to test the silencer

Mr.. Maxim explained also that the
silencer diminished by about 80 per

was used. He was asked If 1t could be
applied successfully to larger ordnance
and replied in the affirmative. Mr.
Maxim declared that it would be easier
to apply the silencer to cannon, up to
the largest calibers, than to small
arms, for the reason that the element
Of weight would not be a problem to
reckon with.

TERRIBLE DEED OF
WISCONSIN FARMER
Murders -Four Of His Children
and Stays Himself

Mondovi. Wis, Feb. 23.-Hans B.
Hanson, farmer living near Strun.
murdered his four children. q boy and
three girls, whose ages ranged from
FIVE to fifteen years. He is supposed
to have used butcher knife, cutting
their throats. He followed this awful
quadruple crime by stabbing several
horses and cows, fired the barn and
house and then cut his own throat.
The bodies of the children were Gre
mated, but neighbors succeeded In ex-
tricating Hansons body before the
flames reached it. Hanson used kero-
sene to start the fires, which de-
stroyed the house and barn. He was
a widower with five children. The
oldest, girl of twenty-one, was In
the village Of Strun at the time of
the terrible tragedy and escaped. Han
son was fifty years old. About twelve
years ago he was an inmate Of an
asylum. but later was liberated. OF
late years he had not shown any
signs of insanity and was considered
harmless.

which is expected to pass through.
The center of the disk Is pressed back
and the outside edge is rolled over so
as to make thick ring. hollow on the
inside.
When the disks are in place In the
chamber the effect is that of a re-
versed turbine fastened to the muzzle
of the gun. As the bullet Is fired,
clearing the silencer without interfer-
ence because the hole through the Sc
ries of disks is larger than the diam
eter of the bullet. the gases accom-
panying it are caught by the first disk
and by virtue of its shape rotated very
rapidly. Centrifugal force makes them
fly out toward the periphery of the
disk inside the rolled over ring and it
is only as they slow down that they
can escape into the next disk. where
the process is repeated Thence the
gases go into the third disk, then into
the fourth, and so on until their force
Is entirely dissipated.
"It is just like stirring around a
wash bowl full of water" explained
Mr.. Maxim. You get it rotating fast
enough and hole will run right down
through the center to the open escape
pipe, but no water will run out"

POLICE HOLD MOB IN CHECK
Attempt to Lynch Negroes Failed at

Ottumwa, Ia, Feb. 23.-The police
kept in check the mob besieging the
city jail to wreak vengeance on me-
groes arrested under suspicion of hav-
ing attacked Mrs. Charles M. John
ston. When it became known the vic
tim was not as seriously injured as at
first reported and that she would re-
cover the crowds in the streets
thinned out.
Another factor In reassuring the
crowds that justice would be done was
the prompt action of the commercial
travellers Of the city In raising a purse
of $1,000 as a reward for the appre-
hension and conviction of the GRIM
inal. To this there has been added a
subscription of $500 to obtain expert
detective aid. A mass meeting has
been arranged at which money will be
gathered to help in clearing up the
mystery surrounding several recent
crimes in this city.

NEVADA BONANZA COPPER
ANNUAL MEETING TODAY

The annual meeting of the Nevada-Bo-
nanza Copper company will be held at
the cOmpanys office. 153 Main street, at
10 O'Clock this morning. Matters pertain
ing to further development OF the com
pany's property at MOrningstar City, Yer
ington district, will be discussed.
The company has sold 45l lots on its
tOwnsite during the past two weeks it is
asserted, and everything points to a boom.
Several store buildings and a number OF
residences are being constructed on the
townsite in anticipation of the large in
fluX of population that is sure to follow
the building of the railroad into the camp,
now already being graded.
During the summer the company pro-
poses 10 drop its main shaft from 200 to
800 feet further to reach a depth of 800
feet. Drifts will be run at each lO0-foOt
level below the 300-fOOt level to explore
the principal vein in the COmpanys prop
erty.
This rich vein of copper is known as the
Copper King vein in the camp, and It is
confidently expected by the management
and the companys engineer, James c.
Dick, that a large body of sulphide cop
per ore will be encountered in the cross
cut at the 800 level.

The North Butte. Coalition, Anaconda,

TINTIC MINES
BIG DIVIDENDS
Colorado, Iron Blossom and
Sioux Consolidated to Pay
Over 100000.

The Colorado. Iron Blossom and Sioux
Consolidated Mining companies. owning
three adjoining properties in the Tintio
district, yesterday posted dividends aggre-
eating over 500 600. The latter posted &c
a share, aggregating on the issued stock
something over $4,000. while the Colorado
and IRON Blossom each came through
with Sc a share, or SS0000.
The dividend of the Iron Blossom COM
pany was 1c to &c more than the talent
had been counting on, and the general
opinion was that it would not exceed &c
share, or $4,000. However, the COM
pany passed its dividend in May and the
larger amount distributed this month is
due 10 that fact 1t is also understood
that the Iron Blossom is now producing
a large tonnage of hgh-gTade ore, much
better grade than the mine was previous
ly capable of. with a prospect that con-
ditiUns will improve as the big Ore-mak-
ing fissure is developed alOOng its strike.
Iron Blossom books will close OH the 20th
and payment will follow on the 18th.
The Colorado is doing well all the time
and II was expected that the usual Sc
would come of it. The Colorado books
close on the 18th, and payment will be
made on the 21st- The same dates gov
ern the distribution Of Sioux Consolidated,
which is declared to be in shape to stand
the present dividend rate for a year.
Notwithstanding these good showings,
none of the stocks representing these
