mvs tliat Intense excitement prevail hero
ivnr tlio rumor tliat the l'al!piI Indians
liuil threatened to nia-sacrc the pettier,
.-onie time ago theo Indian showed signs
if discontent, and (pti. Wheaton sent a
troop of cavalry Up in the l'alipel valley to
protect the ettlers. The Indians now
latiii that the troop' have driven them
out of the valley, and tliev threaten vcnjje
.mce. The fanners m Wild Hose prairie,
.ihout seventeen mill"" north of here, be
came panie-sirieken and u larf,re numher
arrived lien with their families. (icnorul
Virlin, at Fort I'oner d'Alene, ha heen
notified of the threatened trouhle, but a?
it takes time to move troops. a.d the ru
mor was m) startling, .Indue Tyner, of this
district, organized a volunteer company of
twenty men, who left here and will aid in
protecting the settlers as loin as necessary,
or till the troops arrive. It'is thought liy
many that the settlers are uiineresarily
alarmed, hut as the Calipcls are known to
he the most treacherous mid troublesome
in this section, many entertain fears of an
outbreak, and should they go on the war
path there is a large number of renegade
Indians belonging to the Nez Perec--, t'oeur
d'Alenes, Spokanes and other smaller
tribes would join them, and a general
uprising would be the result.
Fish Aqtauhm. Mr. ficorge Ames, of
this city, ha, formed a large reservoir, or
lake on his place, for the purpose of propa
gating and preserving for his own use the
beautiful mountain trout tliat infest our
streams. The lake is probably a couple of
hundred vards in circumference, and aver
ages two feet in depth, fed by a cold and
limpid spring. The lower end of the lake,
where the water (lows otr, has been secured
in such a manner that the tish cannot es
cape. Mr. Ames has an excellent way of
catching the Jish with which to stock" hi
aquarium. Vat numbers of these speckled
beauties, a veraginig some three inches in
length, ascend tli' old mill Hume, and be
ing unable toget back into the main stream,
are easily captured. Mr. Ames has about
fifteen hundred fish in his lake and is ad
ding more. The lish seem to thrive in their
new quarters, anil are quite lively.

The applicant for admission must he at least

young man of Fnion county.

Foitnr.sT Ftui:.. -For several days past
the atmosphere has been filled with smoke
from forrest fires somewhere in the moun
tains. Two years ago the smoke from ex
tensive lircs liung over the entire state for
months, and wan a source of annoyance,
discomfort and sickness and was only dis
pelled by the rains of winter. From'preur
cut indications we judge that we are to have
just such another siege. Too much care
cannot be taken by travelers and camper
in the mountains to prevent the spread of
Iheir camp-fires. Anyone failing to use
due caution in the matter not only deserves
censure, but should be seorcly "punished.

St'iiMAiiiKK KiiuiTin.v. On Saturday
night, says a l'ort towtisend dispatch,
several tugs coming tip to Cape Flattery
from the sea wore struck by a tidal wave
of quite a severe character. The sea ran so
high that steamers were buried at times,
and the commotion lasted some thirtv
minutes. After the waves had subsided it
wan found that the sea was covered with
dead codfish, salmon and halibut. The
cause is supposed to have been a subma

with Mr. Harris, he set out to find the

Mercurial IMiisinys.
Boise City, July 2()th. 18S(.
En. S't'otT: The (hcrnioniuter ia
the only thing animate or inanimate
in Hoise City, that has any ambition.
It is evidently moved by tlie old say
ing that "there is room at the top,"
and it is doing its level best to get
there. Yesterday it started out deter
mined to piove the fallacy or truth of
the axiom, or burst its own gut in the
attempt. It was simply awful and
soul-harrowing to watch the wild reck
lessness of the mercury in trying "to
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction
over us." Anybody that knows any
thing at all about thermometers, knows
that when they start out to do any ex
tra work this season of the year, they
generally overdo it. Hut yesterday it
carried the thim to unwarrantable and
unreasonable excess. It went up to
107 degrees in the shade at H o'clock
P. M. and stopped to rest a minute.
It was verv evident that tho intention
was to go up to 182 degrees, but this
stop was fatal to such aspirations.
Something got wrong with its interior
anatomy and it began to drop on itself.
Various reasons were assigned for
this by the excited and thankful pop
ulace. It. is aliened by some that a
young lady from La Grande, Oregon,
breathed on the bulb. We neither re
fute nor hold up this charge; all we
can do is to say in evideneo that a La
Grande girl onee breathed on us, and
when wo got back lo Union, all tho
doctors agreed that we had yellow
jaundice in its last stages, and a com
mittee ot triends entered into negotia
tions for ti first class sarcophagus. W
were met witli looks of svmpathv and
sad shakes of tlie bead, and an attor
ney asked us if we had our worldly
affairs all arranged. All this, of course,
alarmed us and we confided in our
friend Jones, the photographer. He
went and leaned up against the wall
for a while and held his nose. Then
he took us in the dark-room and rubbed
us down with a saturated solution of
cyanide of potassium, and we canio
forth a new man. 'flint's all we know
about. La Grande girls. Call the next
witeess.
It is said by others that the reason
tho mercury fell so suddenly, yester
day, was tho report that a man in
Tallahasso, Florida, actually paid for
Ids country paper in advance. How
ever careful inquiry proves this state
ment wholly unfounded. Further it is
whispered but what's the use? Af
ter what we have said, it would he fu
tile to multiply tho cases, for after all
we can't get at the true inwardness of
a thermometer any more than we can
that of a pic-nic pie.
Our friend J ud has a patent ther
mometer in his mind, that ia designed
to meet all emergencies of tho seasons,
and fill a long-felt want. The mercu
ry will be let into a pole 110 feet high.
It will be set in a shaft I0 feet deep,
and it is supposed that tho 100 feet
above ground will bo us high as any
right-thinking mercury will want to
go, (hough it is known that there is
some evil-minded and vicious mercu
ry's that would go even higher. Tho
10 feet below ground is for tho mercu
ry in winter, when it modestly retires
into the bulb. Wo think the inven
tion will be, a success, and so does Juil,
and all we lack now is a joint stock
company and a charier to start a soul
less monopoly. V. Haul.
