A Rich Strike in Idaho Bad Men
at Cripple Creek A War -Machine.
Force. An Massed on Ball Hill.
Ckipple Cbeek, May 29.-The depu
ties and the strikers are still keeping at
a safe distance from each other. Both
sides are exerting every effort to increase
their numbers, the strikers using in
some instances loaded Winchesters as
arguments. The strikers become bolder
and more insolent every day. All the
smaller towns are completely subjected,
and some demonstration has been made
at Cripple Creek. There is nothing
manly in the attitude of the strikers.
Vastly outnumbering the male portion
of the population, and being heavily
armed, they have confiscated nearly all
the firearms owned by individuals.
Conscious alike of their own strength
and of the weakness of the inhabitants,
they conduct themselves in an overbear
ing manner, and exact conduct on the
part of inhabitants iittle short of abject
servitude. Today a party entered
Mound City, and, at the point of Win
chesters, forced two union men who be
lieve in the union, but not In carrying
arms and using them in violation of law,
together with a non-union man, to fol
low them to Bull hill. The general im
pression is that this question can be
settled only by a terrible conflict, and
the people anxiously await the end,
whatever it may be. The strikers now
expect to be attacked from three points,
and have massed their lorces on Bull
hill. . The two principal approaches
have been, Undermined, and large quan
tities of dynamite placed, so that by
means of electricity the mines can be
exploded from the fort.
Turpin Tarn. His War Machine Over to
Germany.
Paris, May 29. La Fatrie today an
nounced that the notorious Turpin,
whose name some time ago came prom
inently before the public in connection
with the invention of the explosive
known as melenite, and who was subse
quently imprisoned, angered at the re
fusal of France to purchase bis latest in
vention, has left the country and Bold to
the powers composing the dreibund the
secret of the manufacture of a terrible
war machine. The latter is said to eoin-
an explosive and a new projectile, which,
it is claimed, will completely transform
the art of warfare and the conditions
under which it is waged, rendering its
possessors the masters of Europe. Tur-
pin yielded to the personal urgings of a
foreign sovereign, and has received
several million francs on account. The
statement that Turpin has left the
country and sold his invention to the
dreibund caused a sensation. .M. Lie
herrisse announces his intention to in
terpolate the government. M. Mercier,
minister of war, has been informed of
this intention, and says he will not
object to meeting the question after he
has had a conference with his colleagues,
He admits that he refused to see M.
Turpin and also declined to negotiate
with him. He scouts the idea that Tur
pin's new invention is an important one,
The Columbia Takes a Bridge.

Spokane, May 29. The Spokane river
rose three inches last night and is still
rising. The Dennis and Bradley bridge,

and settling. The water is 4j feet

slowly falling. At Lewis ton, the Snake

known before, and still rising.
A Rich Find Reported.
Boise, Idaho, May 29. There was
great excitement in the city today over
the discovery of wonderfully rich placer
diggings south of Idaho county. Pros
pector Williams, an old Californian, ar
rived here from the diggings yesterday,
and to a few confidential friends he told
the story of his valuable find. Williams
says he took out $100 a day with a rocker,
and that there is plenty of richer ground.
A party of six, at the bead of which
was Frank W. Merritt, who with other
Duluth parties, have made large invest
ments in the mines near here, was or
ganized and outfitted, leaving here with
pack-horses and mining-tools for Loon
creek this morning. The matter was
kept as quiet as possible.
A Rifled Cannon at Divide.
Divide, Colo., May 29. It has rained
nearly all day, and this in addition to
the disappointment felt at the small
number of recruits, has had a depress
ing effect, and about a dozen have re
turned to Denver. The strikers are re
ported to have purchased a rifled can
non, which is kept out of the way here.

A sad misnomer.
The Term "Old Maid" Is Almost Always
. Misapplied. - -
" I lately heard an amusing new defini
tion to the term "old maid," which
was held to apply, not to elderly spin
sters in general, but only to such as
had never had . a chance of changing
their condition; those who "would not
when they could," or whose course of
true love has run rough, receiving the
more respectful., title of "maiden
ladies." The idea emanates from a
masculine'' brain, but the difficulty of
ascertaining- which designation ap
plies in individual cases is a problem
which the superior male intellect has
not- condescended to solve, says the
Ladies' Pictorial. -
Are old maids under this definition
to be expected to wear some particular
form of cap, or have their hat cut in
a special fashion, or add the letters
"O. M." to their visiting- cards? I am
convinced that there are very few
women indeed whose experience has
failed to include a love affair of some
kind, and of these few only a small
minority would acknowledge the fact.
A more correct idea of the term, it
seems to me, and one which takes away
its old-fashioned sting, is that it de-1
scribes a certain type of woman irre
spective of her condition in life. The
prim, narrow-minded person who fusses
over trifles, who would leave matters
of thfe most paramount duty or engross
ing interest in order to put tidy a
drawer or sew on a button; who goes
all her life in fear of Mrs. Grundy, and
would leave any kind action undone,
or kind word unsaid, if it" ran the
slightest risk of offending that poten
tate, would be old-maidish in spite , of
any number o"f matrimonial ventures;
while, on the other hand, there are
plenty of liberal-minded, youthful
hearted old misses to whom the epithet
is so obviously unsuitable that no one
thinks of applying it.

OILING A ROBBER.
An .engineer's Treatment or a Selfish Road
.- ' " Airent.
There used to be and may be yet
on the Las Cruces division of the Santa
Fe railway an engineer known as '"Big
Jack Long'."' .One night. Jack was
alone at his eng-ine oiling- "up the ma
chine, while the rest of the cre.v.-, like
the passengers, were at 'supper in the
dingy eating- house. The train was u
long- one and the engine was well away
from the little cluster -of building's.
Suddenly, "throw up your hands!" was
growled at him und Jack found him
self looking into a -un 'in the hands
-of a hard-looking citizen." The fel
low demanded money and Jack be
gan to argue, protesting that he had
but a dollar -, in his pockets and
that 'to take that were a cruelty,
since it was meant to pay for his supper.-
Yes, the marauder was determined
to have the'sack, even if it had but a
single dollar. Curing' the discussion
Jack slipped his hand from bulb to
nozzle of the long machinist's oiler and
edged around the head of the locomo
tive, finally backing- across the track,
closely followed, by the temporizing
holder-up. - When the man was so well
into the glare of-, the headlight as to
guide Jack's address, this worthy
promptly laid over his head with the
heavy oiler for a bludgeon, and, when
the victim's yells had drawn .forth the
supping contingent, Jack had beaten
his assailant- almost senseless and stood,
weapon in hand, looking down at him,
and saying, grimly: "Well! I guess I've
got you so well oiled up that you won't
run hot' again for one while!" "
