PALOUSE COUNTRY NEWS. Items of Interest from Palouse Country Newspapers. COLFAX. From Commoner, 11th inst. A kick comes from the occupants of the rotten old jail on the hill. Miller, indicted for grand larceny, and Moras,, convicted of horse stealing, and now awaiting a new trial, demand speedy action, as they are tiring of durance so vilo as their present confinement proves itself. The court house begins to loom up. The casings in the second story walls are in, and brick work on the second story is well advanced. The work goes on without intermission. All the brick layers but two who went away dissatis fied some time ago have returned. A force of 40 or 50 men is now constantly mployed. We are glad to mention that Messrs. Bjsd and Duncan have boen added to ac tone of night watchmen to act dur . ig the period of greatest danger from lire. The season ot conflagration is up u üb. Our city kn>\rs Cram sad ex perienco the diinger from tires. Our fire department is good and fairly equipped to fight fire when started. But a safer way is to see that no fire gets started. There is truth in the adage "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure;" and it is acting on this principle that the force of watchmen has been increased. Let overy citizen, whether property owner or not, make it a special aim to exeicise care and caution in the use of fire during the heated term now commencing. As we value our homes, our business, our every interest, let thi6 be our care. On Tuesday L. T. Averiil filed a com plaint with Justice Puttison charging W. Terrill with grand larceny. The particular crime was the alleged stealing of twenty cords of raid Averill's wood from the river in north Coifax. Terrill was arrested and arraigned on Tuesday. The evidence brought against him was immffiniflttt to convict him <>f the crime of grand larceny. Terrill, it seemed, is employed at Codd's mill. He had been granted permission by tho proprietor to ■work up the driftwood among his logs, into oordwood. This Terrill had done, and in so doing may possibly have worked up a l.>g or two belonging to Avcrill by mistake, Averill's wood being mixed with Codd's in the river. This was all the evidence could show. There was nothiug to show any maliciousness on the defendant's part whatever. Ac cordingly ho was discharged, and the costs, amounting to §20 or so, charged up to the county. A complaint was Sled on Wednesday by Nelson B. Gillian:, a farmer living a few miles east of Coifax, charging Bert Phillips and Ernest Evans with cruelty to an animal. "For maliciously tortur ing, tormenting and mutilating a heifer calf—so reads tho complaint. The oircumstaooes of the ease seetn to be about oa follows! On the tith of July, the two boys above named allowed their desire for pare devilment to get the best of them. They vented their desire for cruel amusement upon a yearling calf. Taking a five gallon tin oil can they cut the bead out of it, filled it with rocks, and wiied it to the calf's taiL The poor beaut was then turned loose. Terrified, it ran with the heavy weight jerking about it, until its tail was divested of its skin and flesh. Blinded with fright the animal ran into a barbed wire Eeaoe, Cutting and mutilating itsnlf in a shock ing manner.

July Ist, the salary of the Mos cow postmaster was increased from 31,400 to 81,500, the gross receipts of the office for the past year being about $3,800. Thio increase is very much due to tho interest Mr. liinman has taken in the business of the office. Last Monday Cory Cameron aged S> Tears, daughter of Ohas. Cameron living three miles south of town, was violently thrown from a horse, sustaining a severe concussion of the brain. She remained unconscious 24 hours, but a last account from Dr. Watkin9 she was slowly mv proving. MOSCOW. From Mirror, 11th inst.

The delay was caused by the hose being fastened onto the wind mill tank at the Hotel del Norte. Sev eral minutes expired in climbing the tower to cut it loose. Many of the guests lost nearly all their effects or had them badly damaged by the water. Miss Bessie Hodgos and several of the girls employed about the house lost every thing except what they had on at the time. M. Gear's loss was about $2500 with an insurance of 8950.

London, July 12.—The marriage of Henry Stanley and Dorothy Tennant took place to-day in Westminster abby. Stanley showed the effects of his illness with which he was attacked yesterday and was compelled to use a stick to assist him in walking to and from the altar. The abbey was crowded with friends of the bride and groom. The ceremony was performed by the Very Rev. George Bradley, dean at West minster, Very liev. Frederick William Farrar, archbishop of Westminster, and Rev. William Boyd Carpenter, bishop of liipon. The service was full of chorals. Great crowds congregated about the abbey and loudly cheered Stanley and Miss Tennant on their arrival. Miss Tennant's dress was of white corded silk, trimmed with white satin and embroidered with pearls and orange sprays. She wore a miniature of the queen, which had been presented by her majesty as a wedding gift. The repre sentative of the king of Belgium was Stanley's best man. All tlw officers of Stanley's last expedition were present. Stanley, who reached the abboy first, rose up on the entrance of Miss Tennant and the ceremony at once began. Dur ing the ceremony he held beneath his arm a stick which he was compelled to use for support while walking. After repeating the service his voice was al most inaudible, showing the results ot his illness. Miss Tennant's voice was clear and steady and only faltered as she repeated the words, "In sickness and in health." After the ceremony the platform, which had been erected for the con venience of the guests, collapsed, and several persons who were sitting or standing upon it were bruised. Wonderful Strike of Silver. Wallace, Idaho, July 15. —The big gest 6trike of silver ore ever made in the Cteur d' Alene mining district is report ed to havi been- made in the Diamond Hitch mine, just below Burke, within the past few days. The ledge is five feet wide, and the ore assays up in the thousands. The mine is principally owned in San Francisco by Liebes. The strike was purely by accident, as the ledge was considered to lie further north from where it '.vas encounteded. It was struck by a cross drift run for air. Very rich specimens of native silver ore have frequently been taken out of the mine from small seams tils* were crossed, but tho position of the main lode baffled the miners. Over 1,100 feet of tunnels had been run without finding a ledge, and the ownors were becoming discouraged. Their good fortune is deserved. The ore ie dty, o! chloride character, and much native silver is visible. Calvin Wallace and George W. Dorwin, who have visited the mine, say the ore is wonderfully rich and that there is fully ! five feet of it, and perhaps more. He Would Marry Her. London, July 13.—Just as the City of Rome was pulling up anchor to leave Liverpool for New York to-day, Mrs. Frank Leslie sent ashore the following dispatch: "I am not engsged, but am starting for home to-day to attend to my work and prepare for my lecture season." De Leuville's attempt, this time, to force Mrs. Leslie into marrying him was actually sensational. The new superin tendent register of Hanover square, St. George's district, was ready, with a li cense, and waiting to marry them this morning at 9 o'clock. When De Leu ville went to Mrs. Leslie's apartments in the Burlington hotel, to his chagrin, the marquis found that Mrs. Leslie's trunks were on the hot-el omnibus and she was just starting for America. He wanted to get into the omnibus with her, but she would not let him, and he fol lowed her in a hansom to Euston station and went on the same train to Liverpool. Every time that Mrs. Leslie comes to London De Leuville circulates the report that she came across the water expressly to marry him. When she arrived a few weeks ago he started the same story. Mrs. Leslie promptly denied it, but this timo De Leuville went a step farther than usual by applying for a marriage license and sending a preliraanary notice to the London papers to-day. For years De Leuville's career in Lon don has been full of discreditable adven tures with women who became infatu ated with him. His first escapade was with a sister of Mmc Tussaud, of museum fame, which was finally broken off by the young woman's relatives. Since his return home from New York, the mar quis has been conspicuous for his open affiliations with the wealthy widow of a carriage maker. His persistent perse cution of Mrs. Leslie this season has been more marked than ever. A short time ago he gave a reception at his apartments and was in straits how to decorate them. He sent to Liberty, the celebrated art fabric dealer, for speci mens of his decor ijuus, which he said he wanted to purchase. These he spread over his apartments in fine array just as the guests had assembled. Then Lib erty's man came along with an order to take the goods away unless the marquis purchased 8100 worth. The baffled mar quis purchased this amount t&t cash and the goods were allowed to remain over night. The marquis had previously worked this game with success, but Lib erty was too much for him the second time. i'ity i« Mourning. Bed Wing, Minn., July 14.—The most destructive cyclone for many years oc cured in this state, starting about ten miles west of St. Paul. It proceeded slowly in its general movement, and first begun its work of destruction aboui three miles from the Schirmeir and Good cottages by demol ishing a barn and several wind mills. After this it seemed to bound into the uir, striking the earth again near the hamlet of Little Canada, where the first serious damage was done. Then it skipped a placa of about one mile wide and once again lowered to the earth and resumed its work of destruction, its fury culminating near the shore of Lake Gen aise, whore five deaths were caused. Once again the storm seemed to rebound into the air, only to regain tho earth half a mile further on, where the Goetzke place and its bruised inmates were left to bear witness to its relentless power. Here its force seemed to be spent, and as it prococded eastward it assumed simply the nature of a high wind, ac companied by a thunder storm. All at once it seemed to double its force, and swept over Lake Pepin, sweep ing to death every unfortunate in its path. The storm first struck the lake on the very spot where the steamer Sea Wing, containing 200 passengers were returning from an excursion to Red Wing. Of that number only twenty^ iseven are known to be alive, and it is certain that the number of deaths ■will exceed 150, although the exact number cannot be known foF several days. At ten o'clock last night fifty-two dead bodies were brought to this city and more are constantly arriving. Patrol boats have been busy all day with some success. Ninety-seven bodies havo been re covered up to 9 o'clock to-night. Prince Bismarck is Hostile. FitANKFtKT, July 15.—1n an interview to-day Prince Bismarck spoke very bit terly in regard to what he called the cowardice of the German press. He de clared that never before had he been asked for an interview by a German journalist. " The Post and Cologne Ga zette, " he said, " which formerly were in constant communication with me, now flee from mo as from a pestilence. " He expressed the greatest confidence in Dr. Miquel, he had nothing to do with the emperor's labor edicts. He himself had modified the original far reaching flraft of the decree of the em peror. He had also suggested the mter- I national labor conference, hoping that it would declare against workmen, but in this hope he was deceived. Nobody ventured to oppose or draw attention to the danger of the decrees, which were eventually passed without his vote or counter-signature. \ fine three-room house for rent, at 86 per month.

The spread of leprosy in Canada has become serious enough to receive atten tion from the Dominion governmaat. Br. A. C. Smith, of New Brunswick, has been permanently retained as govern ment medical expert in leprosy. important resolutions were adopted at the late convention of the United Mine Workers. One of them favored the abol ishment of the company store system. Others recommended the use of the Shaw machine in all the mines of the country, opposed discrimination against negro miners, and declared for the adop tion of the eight hour system May 1. It is proposed now to add another stofy to the elevated trains that travel upon stilts through the streets of New York and Brooklyn. The second story trains will run about on a level with the fourth floors of buildings along the streets. The nuisance of the "L" trains is almost unbearable now, and when the principal streets are filled with dust and scaffolding to the tops of the houses those cities will be a sight to behold. Introducing * Lecturer. Max O'Rell has published an amusing letter about bow tho chairmen of lecture soraniitteea introduced him In this coun try. In general they aro to be dreaded. One of the moat monstrous is the chairman who persists in making a speech at the close of the lecture. The lecturer has reserved a particularly telling point with which to close. He speaks it impress ively, expecting its effect on his audi ence. He waits for the applause that is the pleasant due of every worthy lec turer. But lot at the moment when 1 it should come and sweeten the tired soul of the speaker, up steps Mr. Chairman atid announces to the audience the name of the next lecturer, occasionally mak ing a statement of the embarrassed finan cial condition of the society, and appeal ing; to members to pay up. Another terror to Mr. ORell te the chairman who opens the evening with prayer. "I would a3 soon think of say ing grace over a glass of toddy as of opening one of my lectures with prayer." Once after the prayer a hymn of ten or twelve verses was sung, which made matters worse yet. Max's lectures are humorous, and sad indeed was the effect of his fun after that hymn and prayer. "You may easily imagine that my first jok-e fell dead flat." Then tfoere is the chairman who wishes to show off his own knowledge of the sptsaker's topic. He will deliver a whole lecture himself before introducing the .speaker. It wearies the audience and disgusts the real lecturer. Again, when tho chairman is a wit it is not much better. He is apt to take awaj the ap plause that the lecturer thinks belongs to him, and make him feel smal: indeed when he rises to follow the brilliant chairman. Far above all the rest, lecturers prefer the silent chairman, him who simply an nounces the speaker's name and topic and sits down. "He is very rare," Bays Max O'Rell, "but when met with is ex ceedingly precious. We all love him. To the nervous ho is a kind of support, to the old stager he is as a picture unto the eye and as mtu ie unto tho ear."
