Reports from Mullan, Idaho, are
from the face of the west drift on
the 40O-foot level on the National
necessitatng shutdown.
No more ground will be opened on the
west side the management fearing
it will flood the mine. The pumps
are taxed to capacity. Miners have
been put to work in the east drift of
the same level. The west drift Is
nearing the ore shoot. A copper galena
vein 90 feet wide was crosscut a
short time ago.
An important find of high grade
copper ore is reported on the Gold
Dust claim ON Kruger mountain, near
Oroville Wash, the strike being made
in prosecuting on the lower levels.
The Gold Dust is one of the oldest
properties on the mountain and has
considerable work done on it, with
good shoWings at several places, but
the latest strike made is considered
the best ever made on the mountain
and proves that the Lakeview ledge
continues south through the property.
Leo Greenough, manager of the
SnoWstorm mine in the Occur

the second dividend this year in
April. No reason Is given except
rumor that the company is blocking
out new ore bodies leaving the old
bodies until market cond-

Y. Nv. G. A. NEEDS HELP.

Plans have been adopted for the
erection of 100000 building for the
purposes of the Young Women's Chris
tan Association of this city. Most of
this money will have to be contributed
by the people of Topeka. They should
meet the appeal for it in a prompt and
generous fashion.
To the young men of Topeka, its
citizens have been most liberal.
Through their contributions a building
was constructed under the direction Dc
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, which is a model of its kind in
the country.
Surely the young girls of The COM

its people in their reasonable request
for an adequate home in which they
can find recreation and profit as had

LITTLE MISS RAGS,

Two or three old rags
Tied with one old string,
Fashioned by childish hands
To mean a dollish thing;
10 see without any eyes,
To hear without any ears
10 laugh without any lips,
To cry without any tears.
1t hasn't a mark of beauty.
1t almost has no form,
Yet, little Bessie calls it
The bestest dolly born
she hugs and caresses it
And kisses it all day long;
She never wearies singing
Her little mother song.
Kiss it, little Bessie,
Sing, little mother, sing,
And hold it fast in your little arms
The old rag dollish thing.
sweet are the dreams of childhood
Hold them while you may,
For years are coming, little one,
To brush the dreams away
See the things that are not;
Believe them what they seem:
Oh. would that life were ever
What little children dream!

FRON OTHER PENS
ON THE RETIRED LIST.

The striking of the ram Katahdin
from the list of available war vessels
marks a stage in naval history. The
Katahdin is the vessel designed by Al
miral Ammen.- Nearly 100 years ago
United States naval officers began tt
discuss the ram as an important e1e-
ment in naval war, but not much use
was made of the 1dea until the latter
part of the civil war. Some of the fist
ironclads then built had powerful rams,
and one of these ironclads, sold to
France, has Influenced French naval
construction greatly. Fifteen or 20
years ago Admiral Ammen conceived
the idea of making the ram the chief
feature of warship, and the Katdh-
din was the result. 1t was an expert
ment, of course Its designer looked
on the ram as an important weapon for
offense and defense, taking it's place
alongside the gun and the torpedo.
The Katahdin has always been look
ed upon with curiosity by the sightseer,
on account of the strength which it's
hull suggested. But the gun and the
torpedo have won in the race. Naval
officers now look upon the ram as a
last resort, to be employed only by a
weak vessel against stronger, or by
a ship whose battery has been silenced.
The gun and the torpedo would make
its usefulness doubtful, even in such
onditions.-Buffalo Express.

KANSAS INsURGENr SENATOR.

| Senator BriStOw has awakened much
widespread interest regarding himself
since taking his valiant stand in regard
| to the Aldrich bill during the recent
extra session of congress. Walt Mason
in the October American Magazine with
Senator Bristow as his theme, writes
Joe Bristow, 10 or II years back,
was walking on the railway track that
runs across the Kansas plain, and pretty
tsoon he met a train. The engineer be-
held him there. and took a minute off
to swear; he pulled some ding dongs
from his bell, and made his big steam
whistle yell. Joe Bristow waved an
answer back, and came hot-footing up
the track. And then they met, with
awful crashl The train of cars was
ground to hash! The engine with
loud kerplunk. went in the ditch, a pile
of junk! o dismal scene! Alas! AIack!
And Joe kept hiking up the track!
"All human affairs present their seri-
GUS aspect to the junior senator from
Kansas. His earnestness is almost
tragic; and humor is to him a mere
theory, unsupported by Facts, and con-
seQueptly unworthy of consideration.
When he attempts to assume the light
and 1ovial manner. as when campaign
ing, he becomes unspeakably pathetic.
He has a passion for Facts. When he
considers a Fact necessary to a case
TO journey is too long, no labor too
arduous for him. If he needed an old
horseshoe to demonstrate an argument
he would cheerfully clean out an augean
stable to find it. He doesn't recognize
obstacles until after he has elm bed
over them. Having no conception of
bumor, he is impervious to ridicule or
sarcasm, and the glittering shafts of
the plumed knights of debate slide off
him and leave no mark. He has a pc
culiarly active and healthy conscience,
and conSults it frequently: his ideas of
morality, political and otherwise, are in
flexible. Above all things, Bristow Is !

THE WESTERN EAGUEoUTCoME

Topeka's baseball team in finishing
| the season in the first division of the
Western league with a percentage OF
more than 500 did considerably bet
ter than might have been reasonably
| expected. This is. indeed. an excel
lent showing for a club to make dur
ing the first year of it's playing in a
class A league. The heartiest of
congratulations are due from the To-
peka fans to Dick Cooley who pro-
vided the town with such a good team
and to the men who made it UP.
Indications are that the Topeka
ball tossers will come nearer to the
pennant next year. Cooley says that
the team which wins it will have to
beat Topeka and the major domo of
baseball in these parts is not given to
idle boasting. He has plans to ma
terially strengthen his team, and
there is not the slightest doubt that
he will do so. This will mean
higher grade of baseball for the city
and it will be appreciated. Topeka is
one of the best baseball towns among
the cities of its size in the country.
Its enthusiasts over the national game
have been given better ball this year
than ever before and they have pat
ronized it encouragingly. They will
do better next year if the team merits
it, as it undoubtedly will.
There also ought to be considerable
satisfaction hereabouts and through
out the state over the showing made
by the other Kansas team in the
Western league, Wichita. 1t was not
quite strong enough to give the To-
peka team a hard run for the first
division honors. but 1t lead the sec
ond division and was able to beat out
handily three of the old teams in the
league, which is. of itself. no small
by any manner of
means.
The really fine showing of the two
Kansas towns on their initial appear |
ance in the Western league is evil |
dence that the grand. old Sunf1ower |
state can hold her own in speedy |
baseball company just the same as
she does in every other field of hu-
man activity.

DOWN WITH THE BOSS.

City government inc the United
States is a travesty and failure. 1t
is thrown into politics, and with as
good reason a board of directors of
a bank or the vestry of church
might be selected at political cleo
ton. When some state with num-
Der of cities and towns shall discover
the courage and .sagacity to curtail
the suffrage in a city election, and
give the vote to those only who pay
taxes, a great step on the road to
reform will be taken.
The city should be run as the bank
is-by the men who own it. There
should be a property qualification for
every voter, and it should be under
stood that the administration of
city government is as much of a BUSH
ness proposition the operation of
a railroad or a manufacturing plant.
In one of the largest and wealthiest
cities of the United States some time
ago there was serious, deplorable
and calamitous strike of the employees
of a big concern. The battle was on
fast and furious, when the city adj
ministration served notice on the cor
poration that it must compose the
quarrel with it's labor. That was
enough. The concern knew that if it
did not come to terms it would be
harried by that administration" and
SO it shut up like jackknife and the
men went Observation-Disclosures Post.
