Const0nfiHOple
by GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old SiWash-@

"ONSTANTINOPLE Is the capital Of
the Turkish empire, and is stu
ated at the extreme eastern end
of southern Europe, being quarantined
from the rest of the world on three
sides by water, and on the fourth by a
high brick wall. 1t contains over 1,000,-
600 people, and about twice that number
of dogs, several OF whom are sleek and
in good health.
Constantly is a great seaport. It
sticks out in the sea of MaTmOra, and
has a harbor six miles long and half a
mile wide, ike the North river at New
York. There is a bridge across the har-
Dor and whenever the nations of Europe
have nothing else to do they debate over
the question of building a draw in this
bridge, so as to let the navy of Russia
out of the Black sea.
Constantinople has 800 mosques, 1000
Turkish baths, 10000 harems and one
railroad The railroad runs up the cOun-
try to Adrianople, and going down to
the 3:45 train is favorite diversion in
Constantinople, Just as it is IN Podunk
COnstantirOple also has a street cleaner,
but he IS very old and feeble, and hasn't
worked for years.
When Constantine became Roman en-
peror he wanted an eastern capital, and
picking out an old used up town named
Byzantium he rebuilt it and called it
Constantinople. This was about 1900

WashingtOn's First Mission
First Public Act of the First Presf-
dent Was to Treat With French
Commander, st. Pierre.
- By Rev. ThOs. B. Gregory -
October 81, 1850.

OcIODer 81, I1JO-
7 7 WAS exactly 100 years ago today
that lieutenant governor Dinwiddie,
\ of Virginia, started George Wash
ington on the memorable journey
through the Wilderness to treat with
st. Pierre, commander of the French
forces who were threatening to close
70 the Old Dominion the gateway TO
the Great West.
of Dinwiddie's selection of his agent
John Fisle says; History does not
record a more extraordinary choice, nor
one that was more completely Justi-
fled"
Was But Fl Years of Age.
Washington, at the time, was only
q years old, and the fact that he was
selected for so arduous task proves
that he must have stood wonderfully
high in the governors estimation on
the score of courage and ability. 1t
was a task that called for great resolu-
ton and self possession, as well as tact
and judgment, and in not single par
ticular did the young commissioner fall
short of the performance that was re-
quired of him.
With courage he negotiated the perils
of the icy wilderness, baffled the de-
signs of the lurking savages, delivered
in plain, unmistakable English his del
icate message, and returned to Nir-
ginia and to the governor unhurt and
with his great task faithfully per-
formed.
It was the great Virginian's first
public act, and in the prOmptness and
thoroughness of its performance 1t
foreshadowed all that Washington was,
later on. to do for Virginia, for the
United Colonies, and for mankind at
large.
The lad of q was in substance. the
mature man of 49, who, in the times
that tried mems souls" was wisely Sc
lected to command the patriot armies in
their fight for liberty against king
George. Midst the awful responsible
tiles that rested upon him in the days
of rs, he bore up and finally won out
by the very same virtues, by the very
same strong and undaunted manhood
that enabled him to serve Virginia so
well in 1853 In both cases it was char
acter that told. devotion and integrity
that won the day. Washington never
disappointed his state or nation, be-
cause he was always a man, always
deaf to any call except that OF duty
and high principles.

eral close students said that il it had
not been for the strength in corn the
market would have closed lower yes
terday. although the falling off in the
cash and flour trade have been ac-
companied by a dropping off in re-

on corn last night than for some time
past. A number Of local professionals
We're credited with coming in on fair
sized short lines and some went long.
While a majority could see nothing
bullish in the situation. except that
the market had advanced in the face
OF a record breaking movement, the
buying of the past week has been by
the Armour Grain company and was
regarded as significant. and they were
not disposed to get left. The fact .hat
there had been a considerable scat

some into thinking the bull side and

that if prices advanced to a point
where it was possible to pay fifty
cents at country loading stations for
cash corn there would be a revolution
unless the railroads furnished cars

Merchant Refused to Pay Bill for Ad
Because It Was Printed Sunday

St. Louis. Feb. 5.-The st. Louis
court Of appeals today refused to APP
ply the Missouri blue law to save
a local merchant from paying the Pull
itzer Publishing company for an adj
vertisement in the Sunday Post-Dis-
patch.
The merchant sought exemption
from the debt on the plea thai the
publication of a newspaper on Sunday
was a violation Of no Sunday law.
The court Of appeals ruled that as
the merchant was Il party to the con-
tract for publication of his advert. -
ment on Sunday. he could not invoke
the Sunday law to secure release from
payment.
\ similar ease before the Kansas
City court OF appeals was decided in
opposite manner and the entire
matter now will be taken to the state
supreme court for Determination.

Appointed Deputy Game Warden.

A wire was received from Boise last
week by Don Fisher, appraising him of
the news that he had been appointed
deputy for Idaho county by the game
warden. Fisher is an enthusiastic
sportsman and his appointment, we ven-
ture to remark, will prove most po-
pular one and that the young man will
make most efficient officer. A mea-
sure for the creation of districts that
will contain more territory than under
the old system has been proposed and
if passed Idaho, Lewis, and Clearwater
counties will be placed in one dis
trict and it is said Fisher stands an
excellent show of being made the de.
putty for the district which would mean
additional emoluments.

Received Appointment.

Seldom indeed does republican pey.
ernor hand out plums to members of
the opposite political party and when
q rare occasion of this kind comes to
pass, it is without exception due to one
OF these two causes. That the retsnient
OF the favor is SO well qualified for the
place That he over-shadows a governor s
duty to his political friends or else the
office is of so little consequences
that ne is unable to get the hungry of
ms own party to take it.
1t must have been because of the
first reason that James Graves was this
week appointed Official De-Footer for
the county of Idaho, state of Idaho and
while the appointment did not come
directly from the governor, the state

last Sunday, the cause of the death not
oeing known. The animal was appar-

about noon, when Mr.. Brockman re-

dead. The horse was valued at $4,000
and Il is doubtful If any insurance was
carried.
