Coeur d'Alene People Want a Military
Post but General Merriatn Op
poses the Plan.
Waednee, Idaho, May 6. The first
etepa toward removing the county
officials of Shoshone county who are ac
cused of being in sympathy with the
rioters was taken today by the state, as
sisted by United States troops, when
Sheriff James D. Young, and County
Commissioner William Boyle were ar
rested by order of State Auditor Sinclair,
who represents Governor Steunenberg
in Shoshone county. Sheriff Young and
Commissioner Boyle were placed in the
stockade with 300 other prisoners. Pro
ceedings for the removal of these
officials from office will be begun on the
ground that they aided and abetted the
riot last Saturday. Coroner France by
statutory regulation, ' becomes acting
sheriff.
The trial of those accused of murder
and riot will in all probability be held
at Wallace, the county seat of Shoshone
county. United States troops have
takea charge of the office and safe of the
Burke miners' union. When the safe is
opened, the federal officials expect to
find incriminating evidence against some
of the leaders who are absent from the
etate.
Citizens and business men here are al
most unanimous in favor of the estab
lishment of a military post in the
Coeur d'Alene district, as a means of
protection against the riotous element,
but General Merriam believes that the
state authorities should provide p rotec
tion for the mine owners.

CATTLE SALES
ARE SLOW
Buyers Not Getting as Many Cattle as
Last Year.
Long Creek, May 6. Messrs. Robert
Gilmore, W. M. Butler and William
Moore, cattle-buyers,' who' haye B.pent
the last month purchasing in Grant and
Crook counties, are in this valley looking
for more cattle. Mr. Brown, who comes
from Gilliam county, has so for secured
about 2000 bead in Grant counties, while
Mr. Butler has bought about 1200 to 1400
head. Since his arrival in this county,
Mr Gilmore has secured 1500 bead, buy
ing them all in the vicinity of Prairie
City. Mr. Gilmore says be has purchased
n Eastern Oregon close to 7000 head.
Speaking of the cattle sales this year,
Mr. Butler says the sales will not come
up to those of laBt year by a good many 1
thousand head. In Crook and Grant
last year over 20,000 head were driven
and shipped out while this season he
roughly estimates the number from
12,000 to 15,000 head.- In Grant county
alone, he says, not over 3500 head have
so far been purchased, or about half of
the entire number to be contracted for,
and in Crook county about the same
number have been engagod.

Aguinaldo's Envoys in Manila are
Working for Peace They Only
Want Assurances In the Mean
time General Otis Will Not Abate
His Aggressive Campaign.
Washington, May 6. President Mc-
Kinley believes the war in the Philip
pines will be at aa end within forty-eight
hours.
This conclusion is based upon highly
gratifying cablegrams received from Mr.
Schurman, president of the peace com
mission. The result of the next confer
ence between the peace commission and
Aguinaldo's representatives, the presi
dent believes, will be a decision by the
Filipinos to lay down their arms as a
preliminary to the inauguration of the
form of government .which the peace
commission recommended and which the
president has approved.
A high official on the administration
said tonight: .
"Our information justifies the belief
that there will be a cessation of hostilities
within less than forty-eight hours
Meantime, it is absolutely necessary to
keep up the fighting on the part of the
Americans in order to make the rebels
realize the utter ueeleasness of their .re
sistance." Admit They are Whipped.
Manila,' May 6. Colonel Arguelles
and the other peace envoys of the rebels
are here working and begging for peace.
They admit they are whipped. The
troops are not to be shaken in their
resolve to surrender, and they will not
fight. Arguelles says the rebel soldiers
are throwing away their weapons, and
have lost all heart in the fighting, since
nothing seems to stand in the way of the
American soldiers rivers, intrench
mente, jungle and rebel sharpshooters
being all alike to them. -
Arguelles has thrown aside all reserve,
and declares with an injured air that
there should be no suspicion of bad faith
in the rebels' proposal for peace. He
declares all are willing to surrender as
soon as assurances are made that the
Filipinos will have some representation
in the local government that is to be
subsisted for the Spanish government in
the archipelago.
While negotiations for peace continue,
General Otis is rushing the campaign
ahead, and will keep up the fighting
until Aguinaldo and hie men lay down
their arms.
An Epidemic of Whooping; Cough,
Last winter during an epidemic of
whooping cough my children contracted
the disease, having severe coughing
spells. ' We bad UBed Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy very successfully for
croup and naturally turned to it at that
time and found it relieved the cough
and effected a complete cure. John E.

Deafness Cannot be Cared,

flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out -of ten a-e caused
by catarrh, which is nothing bat an in

We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the beat in the world. A few
weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold

cured us before the bottle was more than
half used. It is the best medicine out

HIRAM'S HALF DOLLAR.
He Dropped It in the Hat at Zeltc's
Silver Wedding and Wanted '
It Hack.
Last spring1 Zeke Murch and his -wife
celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary. Zeke lives on a side hill
farm in one of the outlying districts
in a Maine town. He and his wife have
always worked hard and been "saving"
as folks have to be who make a dollar
out of a farm in this particular part of
the Pine Tree state.
Among their visitors that night were
Hiram and Mirandy Treat. Now the
Treats were even more saving than the
Murches, and the latter were said to
be snugger than the bark of a yellow
birch.
But they felt in duty bound to give
something. Not having bought any
plate, they could not add to the col
lection of pickle jars and casters which
adorned the sitting-room table, so they
waited till the hat was passed.
Passing the hat may strike some
readers as a novel feature to introduce
at a wedding anniversary, but Ezekiel
didn't propose to let anyone go away
without a gentle hint that those who
accept invitations to a silver wedding
must settle in the white metal.
"For the benefit of those as didn't
have a chance ter get a present, we
will now pass round the hat an' those
as feel moved so to do can add their
piece of silver," explained the host.
When the hat reached' Hiram he
pulled out his wallet, carefully abstract
ed a half dollar, looked at it lovingly
and then dropped it into the chapeau.
That night, after they got home, Hi
ram and Mirandy were talking it- over.
speculating on the probable -value of
those two pickle jars and trying to set
tle in their minds how much was put
into the general collection. -
"There was 50 cents that I give 'em,
said Mirandy.
"What I " cried Hiram, "you give 60
cents?" '
"Why, yes, Hiram, we cal-lated to
give 'em that much, you know.. . We
talked -it over beforehand, and agreed
that we could spare it. - . 1 .... .,
"But Lord bless ye, wife," said the
husband, quivering with excitement,
"don't ye, can't ye,' understand I
dropped a half dollar in the hat my
self?"
It was a late hour before the two
ceased talking about that lost coin, and
the next morning Hiram was no more
reconciled to the accidental generosity
than the njght before;
All summer long it worried him, and
he couldn't keep from thinking how far
that half dollar would have gone in
trade.-
Lately Hiram and Zeke had a settling
up of some old accounts for wood and
labor. Their figures tallied, and after
the money had shifted hands Hiram's
thoughts reverted ... that unintended
gift. - ';
"Zekiel," he began, softly.
"Yes, Hiram."
"You remember that silver wedding
of yours last spring?" He was begin
nine with diplomatic evasion of the
real point at issue.
"O, yes." Zeke remembered all about
that.
"Wa'al, when the hat was passed
round, ye remember I put in-50 cents?"
"Yes, Hiram, I remember."
"Wa'al, unbeknown to me, my wife,
Mirandy, she put in "50 cents,"
" Ya'as," said Ezekiel, slowly, but very
carefully avoiding any- show of under
standing.
"Wa'al, we didn't intend to give but
one of 'em, and I want you to give me
back the half dollar that Mirandy give
Ezekiel said nothing.
"It's no more'n right ye should,"
pleaded Hiram. "We didn't intend to
gin ye but half a dollar. We can't spare
that other 50 cents nohow. I've wor
ried about it all summer long an' I
made up my mind to speak out to ye
about it. I've thought it all over an
Mirandy, she's thought it all over an'
we sartinly can t spare the 50 cents."
Ezekiel had been gathering himself
for a burst of scorn.
"Wa'al, of all the dog-gonedest mean
critters I ever sot my eyes on ye re
a Ieetle the wust! .No, I won t give
ye back your half a dollar!"
But Hiram wasn't going to be touched
by scorn. The justice of his cause led
him to make one last appeal.
"No, I ain't mean, Zeke, for here I've
waited till now without sayin' a word,
Just think on it, Zeke, you've had the
interest on that half a dollar for over
six months an you oughter be all fair
an' willin to give it back to me. Won t
ye, Zeke?"
But Zekid's ear was deaf to pleading
and he still retains the half dollar.
