Show COLD HUNTERS orty I i v f Lost on r the Nevada, ltounil for IDAHO TRAGEDY. PERISH. Jealom Husband Kills, Himself Aftei Shouting at Another Man. Hailey, Idaho, Feb. 14. Charles Nelson went to the dwelling of George Shirley, where his wife was stopping, entered the house and began shooting at Bert Bowerstoek, who was there. The latter commenced firing in return. It is said that Nelson fired four or five shots and Bowerstoek two. No immediate effect of the fusilade was apparent and Nelson hacked out. About a minute thereafter those in the house heard another shot outside, and a cry, presumably from Nelson. Bowerstoek was uninjured, hut Nelson was found shortly afterward about 150 feet from the dwelling, with a bullet hole through his head. The bullet entered the right side of the forehead, going entirely, through the head. His forehead shows powder marks. Nelson, after going out, believing he had killed Bowerstoek, fired the last shot and killed himself. Nelson was alive when picked up. He was removed to his dwelling, where he died about a half an hour later without having recovered consciousness. Nelson and his wife had parted. She was staying at Shirley's and Bower-stcc- k was there calling. Mrs. Shirley and Mrs. Nelson were present while the shooting occurred in the house. It is said the tragedy was due to jeaVvusy, but this cannot he verified. Nelson has lived here for the past fifteen years and was in the livery business. He was a well known stock man throughout southern Idaho. lie leaves a son and daughter, both grown Oakland's Vaudeville Preacher. New York, Feb. 14. Rev. James II. W.

The steamer Islander brings news that the steamer Clara Nevada, of Seattle, was burned in Lynn canal and forty men who were on board, are supposed to have perished. The Nevada left Skaguay for Juneao February 5, and when the Islander reached Juneau the Nevada had not arrived there. The day that she should have reached Juneau fire was seen on the waters of the canal and the opinion is general that the flames were from a burning steamer. Whether the passengers and crew reached land, or whether they perished is not known. It is feared that they met with death, as there has been a terrible wind and snow storm in the north and small boats could hardly live. Captain Irving, from the Islander, reports that the weather has been terrific. The Clara Nevada was formerly the Hosier, which was built at Camden, N. J., in 1872, for the United States coast Last summer she geodetic survice. was condemned by the government for the reason that she was out of date and sold to the Pacific and Alaska Transportation company', who had her thoroughly overhauled before placing heron the Alaska line. She was considered perfectly seaworthy. Japanese Colony for Mexico. San Francisco, Feb. 15, Among the passengers who arrived on the steamer Gaelic were M. Kobayashi and II. Kawamura of Tokio, who are on their way to Mexico to further the interests of a colossal Japanese colonization project. The first named gentlemen, when seen, said that preparations are being made for the establishment of a Japanese colony on a big tract of land adjacent to the port of San Benito and contiguous to the Guatemalan boundary. In accordance with a treaty between the Japanese and Mexican governments ratified last year, Count Enomoto, of agriculture, and a wealthy Japanese purchased acres of land in Mexico in the locality described, and it is on this that the Japanese colony is to be established. The enterprise is receiving the support of the Japanese governer land-owne- r, 100,-BO- O ment. Zola Will be Convicted. Paris, Feb. 15. Henri Rochefort, speaking of the pending trial of M. Zola will be convicted. Zola, said: There is so great a pressure of public opinion acting on the jury that one cannot expect anything but conviction. On the other hand, Zola does not seem to me to be well defended, and his counsel seems to be dragging the affair out as long as possible. I don't think Zola will go to prison, nor do I think he will be obliged to pay a fine. After the trial is over, its conclusions will be considered by the court of cassation. But supposing Zola is acquitted. he will not be able to show himself in public in Paris, nor for that matter, anywhere in France, without personal danger to himself. He could not very well live in Paris without a body guard continually abouthim. Spain Names a New Minister. Vigilance Committee. The steamer Utofrom pia, just arrived Skaguay and Taiia this morning, reports that a vigilance committee is being formed in Skaguay, and it is the intention of the committee to drive out of town the horde of toughs and bunco men. Hold-up- s and petty larceny are being daily reported and it is more than probable that lynchings will occur unless the authorities act promptly. A number of deaths have taken place in the past few days, the cause being cerebro spinal meningitis, and physicians state that the disease threatens to become provalent. Shipment of Dogs to Klondike. San Francisco, Feb. 14. The steamer National City has sailed for Taiia and Skagua, taking about 160 passengers and a large amount of freight. More for passage were reapplications ceived than the vessel could accommodate. The National City carried away more dogs than any other vessel which has yet sailed for the gold fields from this point.

Christ did not come to cramp any aaVs manhood: He came to broaden It. He did not come to destroy our manhood: He came to fulfil it. A thorough-going Christian is a man with a stronger reason, kinder heart, firmer will, and richer imagination than his fellows one who has attained to his height in Christ. A bigot, or a prig, or a weakling is a Christian, one not yet arrived at full age. What ought a Christian to read? Every book which feeds the intellect. Where ought he to go? Every place where the moral atmosphere Is pure and brao-inWhat ought he to do? Everything that will make character. Religion is not negative, a giving up this or that, but positive, a getting and a possessing. If a man will be content with nothing but the best thought, best work, best friends, best environment, he need not trouble about avoiding ths worst. The good drive out the bad. There are two ways of lighting a dark room; one is to attack the darkness with candles; the other Is to open the shutters and let in the light. When light comes, darkness goes. There are two ways of forming character: one Is to conquer our sins, the other is to cultivate the opposite virtues. The latter plan is best because it is surest the virtue replaces the sin. Christianity is not a drill: it is life, full, free, radiant and rejoicing. What a young man should do is not to vex his mind on the bright image of Perfection; not to weary his soul with rules, but to live with Christ as one liveth with a friend. There is one way to complete manhood, and that is, fellowship with Jesus Christ. Ian MacLaren. half-develop- g. Women In Aaatralln, A description of the Australian belle reads not unlike that which calumni- ators are wont to ascribe to the Chicago girl. They are said to be, though pretty, tall and well formed, not graceHer feet are seldom small, her ful. hands rarely beautiful. Moreover, she does not dress well. Her toilet has none of the cKic of the Parisennea and little of the sobriety of the Englishwomans. Overdressed or dowdy, she produces the impression not only of having little taste, but no artistic sense of the fitness of things. Stylish and elegant women are to be seen more frequently in Melbourne than elsewhere. Nevertheless dress is dear to the soul of an Australian, and much is spent upon it. Down in the lowest social grades dress plays a most important part. The Australian hugs the idea of equality, and believing in uniformity of dress as the visible sign thereof, often sacrifices actual comfort to obtain fashionable clothing. An Australian family makes a brave show on holidays. There may be bare feet and rags in the house, but there are cheap feathers and gloves in the street.
