pioneer of Idaho county. Upon
his death she was placed in the
care of Evan Evans Of Grange
vile. She was sent to the sisters
school at Lewiston, later to the
Lewiston State Normal, and still
later to Whitman college. Upon
completing her education, she re-
turned to this section and became
the wife of Mallick. Three
children were born to them. On
July 2, after some trouble had
arisin between them, and there
was some plan under way for a
separation, Mallick went to the
ranch in an intoxicated condi-
ton and in a most brutal manner
attacked his wife. He repeated
| ly knocked her down, beat her
about the head and left her for
dead. The brutal and unpro-
voked assault upon such lady
raised the ire of the citizens of
that section to a white heat, it
would seem, and the very fear
that the one who made the mur-
derous attempt upon her life
would not have justice meted out
to him by due process of law, in
view of the number of criminals
who have been allowed to slip
through the tolls, in very easy
manner, brought about the un-
lawful act.

Kangaroos are distributed over all
parts Of Queensland. The "old man,"
or fully grown male. is mostly found
on downs and in open forest country.
An "old man" sometimes grows to the
height Of six feet and when hunted
into a rocky gorge or corner will turn
and face its pursuer. 1t is formi-
dable adversary at close quarters. Its
mode of fighting is to clasp its enemy
in its arms, hug him to its breast and
then with its powerful hind claws rip
him open.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Manila rope of Pin. diameter
has an ultimate strength of 28,-
500 lb. For hosting, the work
ing load should be 1900 h., and
the hosting sheave should have
a diameter of 20 inches.
Lack of capital to carry good
plans to a conclusion often causes
the failure of mining operations,
but poor management is quite as
often the cause. Only the best
mines pay with poor manage
ment.
Annual labor must be done
within the calendar year succeed
ing that in which the location
was made. Thus a claim located
at l a. M. on the morning of
January l, 1910, needs no annual
labor during 1910, but does re-
quire $100 worth of work before
expiration Of 1911. 1t should
not be forgotten, however, that
in some states location work is
required within limited time.
Ordinary air consists chiefly of
a mixture Of two gases, oxygen
and nitrogen. Oxygen is life
supporting; in the lungs it COM
bines with substances in the
blood and forms carbon dioxide,
a suffocating gas, which is eX-.
hailed in the breath. This union
produces heat and maintains the
temperature Of the body. The.
nitrogen in the air is not absorb
ed nor changed in the lungs, and
may be breathed over and over
again. Ordinary air contains
oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon
dioxide, in the following propor--
tions by volume: oxygen 20.94
per cent; nitrogen (and argon)..
1903; carbon dioxide, 0.03.
Electric power is usually con--
tracted for by the kilowatt-hour
or horsepower month, the latter
being based on peak load. The
terms of the contract naturally
vary greatly. In western Nevada
the price paid now averages
probably $6.50 per month. Along
the Mother Lode in California it
is much less, perhaps an average
of $3.50. In determining the
rate to be charged, the power
company must take into account
the continuity of service and the
probable life of the contract, in
order to make an equitable dis
tribution of fixed charges. A
retail store that only wants extra
lights Christmas week. must
naturally pay a high rate, since
the fixed charge for the year for
the investment necessary, must
all be charged to the current
used in the one week. On the
other hand, a stamp-mill running
steadily "a hours per day and all
the year around may expect to
secure low rate. In any event
the fixed charge for interest and
depreciation is a high element of
the cost. In a specific case
company selling 5000 hp. has an
investment of approximately
100000.

Riddled with Bullets in
County Jail.
WAS HELD AS WIFE BEATER
Coroner's Jury Exonerates
County Officers.

At 2 o'clock Friday morning,
September 1st, a mob of some |
twenty masked men surrounded
the condemned Jail at Grange
Vile, in which prisoners for the
term of district court now in ses-
sion are being held, and covering
the guards, Charles Waldum and
]. F. Mclean with guns, secured
the key to the cell in which Pete
Malllck, the wife beater, was
confined, and proceeded to shoot
him to death.
Waldum, who was on guard
while Mclean was sleeping in his
room, hearing noise, stepped
outside the Jail, when he was
covered with guns in the hands
of two or three determined men
with masked faces, and ordered
to hold up his hands, while a
crowd of men to the number OF
eighteen or twenty, rushed the
iail door. Jailor Mclean, who
had been aroused, sprang to the
door and attempted to shut it,
but was jammed back against
the wall when the men struck
the door, and was covered with
guns and ordered to hold up his
hands high and safe.
The lights were turned on and
the keyes to the cells secured
from the office desk drawer, The
work was done with accuracy
and dispatch, the cells being
swiftly examined by four men
while three held up Jailor Nc
Lean. When Mallick's cell was
found one of the maskers sung
out: "Here he is. Get up Pete
and take your medicine" and
then the fusilade Of gunshots be-
gun, until some twenty shots
were fired. One of the prisoners
in an adjoining cell says when
told to stand up, Mallick replied,
"Take off your masks, you dc
s-bs," and this was followed
by two groans which ended the
earthly career of Peter Mallick
The men promptly left the jai
and a portion of them at least
mounted horses that were tied
short distance east, and rode
away,
Coroner Blake was immediate
" notified and called a jury
which returned the following
verdict:
1--WE find that Mallick wa
shot to his death by and will
firearms in the hands of partie'
wholly unknown, and we furthe
find that no blame or negligence
can be attributed to the officer
regarding said Mallick, it beinl
our opinion that they were taking
all necessary steps to safely keel
said Mallick and were entirel,
overpowered." "
Mallick was a half breed Indial
and the son of Peter Mallick VIII
many years ago resided in tn

The Recovery of Old Metals

-
The total amount of secondary
copper recovered in the United
States in 1910, on the assumption
that the brass remelted had an
average copper content Of 70 per
cent. was 81, 800 tons. of which
Is, 500 tons was recovered by
regular refining plants and the
remainder by plants treating
only secondary material. At
least $4,000 tons were recovered
from clean scrap made in the
course of manufacture of copper
and brass ware, so that only 81, :
500. tons were obtained from
ashes and cinders and from
material that had entered the
trade in manufactured from and
been discarded. The inquiry
made by the Geological Survey
was extended so as to include the
railway companies figures for
old metals reused by themselves,
and to these is attributed a large
proportion of the increase in the
figures for copper. The produc-
ton from secondary sources in
1910 was equal to about II per
cent Of the domestic consump-

Saw The Ghost Of Ma pOIeOn

PARIS, August 12.-Mlle. Polaire,
famous as the ugliest woman in
Paris" has new claim to public
interest. She declares that she has
been visited by the ghost of Napoleon
Mile. Polaire recently became the
owner of a very famous mansion in
the Fauborg, St German. 1t belonged
during the revolution to Tallien, the
famous member of the convention. The
great Corsican often visited the house
in the days of his glory. Madame Po-
laire declares that toward sunset a
few weeks ago, she was reclining on
her couch. Thoughts were passing
through her mind of the famous per-
sons who had once moved in that
room, of the dramas and tragedies, the
events in the history of the world that
had been, in part at least, enacted
there. She was lost in a reverie that
thrilled, though it,saddened her.
Suddenly l became aware" she
says, that a man was approaching

His face was thin, with the pure

WHAT WOMAN WASTES.

Some wise professors in the Univer.
sity Of Wisconsin have just issued
bulletin calling attention to the fact
that Of the S1O,OOO,OOO 600 spent an.
nually for the necessities Of life i'm
this country women handle 80 per
cent, and do it so badly that there is
an enormous waste Hence, it is ar
gued, women should be trained in
household economies before being err
mitted to become treasurer and pur-
veyor of the household.
1t would be interesting to know
where these learned pundits get their
facts. 1t is true women spend most
of the money, but how do the pro
fessors know that they are so waste
full? Our idea has been just to the
contrary A woman is much better at
making bargains than a man. If you
think women buy things merely on
general principles, why are our col
'umns filled with advertisements which
are generally prepared for women
alone? If women are wasteful it is
an amazing situation, for most of most
OF them are not only anxious to cut
down the cost of living, but are com
PEELED to do so, and there is the
further incentive that savings from
the weekly house money may be
spent in personal adornment.
1t appears to us that women are
much better economists than men. 1t
isn't often you see successful bache
lor or maiden lady who isn't pretty
well provided for. The successful
men are those who have married early
in aife and who have intrusted most
of the financiering of the household to
their wives. 1t is quite true that in
these days if one could buy all ne
cessities at wholesale there would be
saving, but that is impossible. ASH
the grocers, the butchers and the
other tradesmen if they think women
are wasteful in their buying. They
will answer to the contrary.
What the college professors are get
ting at apparently is that women
spend too much money on clothes and
!, finery. Probably many spend more
, than they can afford, but it is hard to
, indict the whole sex on this account
Women love to have beautiful things
and men love to have their women
look pretty. If every one were to fan
, back on copybook maxims and live
= under eighteenth century conditions
some would save money, but the coun
try would go into bankruptcy. The
: only real system of domestic economy
, is that of Mr.. Micawber. If you sIen,
more than you earn, the result is mis-
; cry. If men would abandon some o
} their eXtravagances the wives would
l have more money-not to waste-bu
to put to good uses in the home.-

ASSAULT ON AMERICAN TOOTH
CARPENTERS.

The world has been woefully misled
for many years regarding American
dentistry in the opinion of the illus
trious pathologist to the London Char
ing Cross Hospital, DR.. William Hun
ter. 1t is his matured conviction that
dentistry as practiced in this country
is a curse to the world, the fruitful
source of one of the most terrible
scourges affecting the physical frame
of man-sepsis. In other words, dent
istry, as practiced by even the ablestI
men in the American profession, is
spreading deadly maladies not only
among the moderately well off, but
among the very rich. Indeed, the rich
are the worst sufferers because they
can afford the high price of the most
skilled work
An illustration of DR.. Hunters
meaning is given by himself in the
London Lancet. One of the worst
cases of sepsis he ever saw was
brought him by a doctor who said
that the patients mouth had been
Carefully seen to and was in good

was the severest pernicious idiopathic
anemia imaginable. His mouth to all
appearances clean for it was one sold

filings, false teeth and the like, so
ingeniously built up that one could
hardly tell what was false and what
was real. To free that man from his
poisoned state invovled in conse-
quence what was really equivalent to
a major operation in surgery The
condition of necrosis, sepsis and the
like revealed on removal of the gold
en- architecture of his mouth was per-
fectly ppalling-CurTent Literature
