Baird, Lawyer, WANT A N Councll Planning to Compromise with the Motor Company in Near Future. Mention has been made in the aaily papers a number of times recently of a compromise about to be made between the city and the citizens on one side and the motor company on the other, for the purpose of putting a stop to all the litigation over paving and the ill-fecling 1 regard to passonger rates be- tween this city and Omaha. The motor of- ficials presented one proposition in the way of a settlement, butit was rejected on ac- count of its failure to makeany provision for a reduction of fare. Another vroposition was promised which should make uhe de- sired change, and the public has been patiently waiting to hear something from the new proposition, All the parties concerned have been densely ignorant concerning the where- abouts of this second proposition, and al. though 1t was n matter of considerable i terest, they strangely enough seemed to have but very little anxiety to find out where the missing paper was or who was respousible for its failure to reach the in- tended destination. Yesterday 1t accident- ally leaked out that the mayor and a number of the aldermen are working on a scheme by which they expect to effect a settlement, but the public was not expected to know anything about it until it was railroaded through the council, They hoped to con- vert a sixth member of the council to their way of thinking, and when everything wus ripe the scheme was to be executed and then the public would find out about iy, after it was oo late to prevent the action should it be considered objectionable in any ay night it was expected that the pew charter would be adopted, but on count- ing noses the aldermen wlo were in favor of granting the Council Bluffs & Omaha Rail- W and Bridge company a new charter found that the sixth man upon whom they had been relying was absent. That was the reason for the sudden adjournment until Friday night. The charter has been drawn up by Finley Burke, so it is said, and will be brought out of its hiding place Friday even- ing in caso the full force of wotor uldermen aro prescot, and passed. The motor company, it is well known, has been pretending to'operate during the last few years under the old horse car charter of 1568 and it was upon that plea that itsought Lo get out of paying the paving tax. This charter expired last August and according to the motor ofticials’ own claim the line hus been operated since that time without the slightest warrant of law. It seems to be the idea of the motor officials and the city council that some steps might be taken to prevent the company summarily from operat- ng its lion should it become known that it was attempling to operate and had been doing so for two wounths without any char- ter. This accounts for the stealth with which the plans have been made, The unwillingness of those concerned to talk renders it dificult to find out just what the new quarter coutains, but from well authenticated rumors it is learned that wmong its provisions is one for a b-cent com- mutation rate, intended only for the benefit of those who use the line every day, while those who use the line only o:casionally will have to put up the 10 cents the same as now. It is hardly likely that this plan will meet with the Liearty approbation of the people of tnis city. At the outside there ure not more than 150 or 200 people living in Council Blufts and waking duily trips across the river, and these are all who would be benefited by this concession, if such it can be called. The stealthy manner in which the moves of the past few days bave been made is far from reussuring to the body of the people. 11 the contents of the newscharter are to be sutisfactory to the public there can be no reasou wn{ the public should be kept in the dark. 1f there is any doubt as to their beine satisfaciory the publio certaloly has the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDS&ESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1893. right to register a_vigorous protest at any attempt to railroad & new charter through the council, and the protest will undoubtedly be made in'a manner that will not have the least tinge of uncertainty to the aldermen who were elected last spring on a 5-cent fare platform and who have violated every pledge they ever made before election Cook your meals this summer on a gas range.

That three times within a generation men in high places in official life should meet death at the hands of distraught persons suggests, among other reflec- tions, the red pages of history that tell of assassination in all times. It is & curious circumstance, sa the Chicago Record, that the term is of oriental devivation and comes from the word “‘hasheesh,” a Arink that murder- ers were in the habit of taking before setting out on one of their violent decds, But with the infamous trinity com- mencing with Booth, then Guiteau, and finally Prendergast, no such stimulant was needed. They were cranks like Brutus, who had visions and who felt like Guiteau—that he was acting for the public good when he killed Ciwesar. It was, however, in the sixteenth cen- tury assassination flourished to an ex- tent never before or since known. And the hundred years that followed Luther il the great stage was the golden age of mwder. Reformers and reactionists had their ussassins, and as the conflict waged was one of opinion it was fertiie of fanatics—a class of men, by the way, that are in the ma- jority of instances the authors of infa- mous murders, The most powerful monarch of those < was Philip I, whose royal career an just at the Reformation, and was its height when the reaction set in. With him assassination was a regu- lar business. Here is what a historian suys, writing of the times: ‘“‘Death was the last argument of belief, the ex- treme but frequent means employed of parties, kings and subjects. They were nov satisfied with killing, they believed they had the right.” Certain casuists attributed this right, some to princes, others tothe people. Here is what Philip’s confessor, Friar Deigo de Chaves, wrote upon the sub- ject: **According to my view of the laws the secular prince who has power over the life of his infeviors or subjects, even as he can deprive them of it for a juet cause and by judgement in form, may also do 80 without all this, since super- fluous forms and all judicial proceedings are no laws for him' who may aispense with them. It i consequently, no crime on the part of a subject who by a sovereign order has put another subject todeath. We must believe that the prince has given this order for a just cause, even as the law always presumes that there is one in all the actions of the sovereign.” With such a king as Philip TI. and such a ghostly confessor as Eriar Diego de Chaves no wonder murder was prac- ticed as a fine art in the good old days of Spanish ascendency. One of Philip's hired assassins, Antonio Perez, tricked him, and Philip’s governor of the Neth- erlands engaged two Irishmen to mur- der him, but they were foiled und were hanged in London for their attempt, Then Baron de Pinella tried to kill Perez at Paris, but was detected and executed. As Perez himself was an active assassin he could not complain of the many attempts made on his life, and here is what he once wrote while wait- ng for achance t> kill William the Silent, prince of Orange: “Lot it never be absent from your mind thata good occasion must be found for finishing Orange, since, besides the service which will thus be rendered to our master and to the states, it will be worth something to ourselve: Philip had been suspected with hav- ing procured the death of his half- brother, Don John of Austria, by poison and having inspired five different at- tempts on the life of his ablest enemy, the prince of Orange. His assassin was successful on the sixth, and, like Booth, Guiteau and Prendergast, Gerard used a pistol—a weapon which somebody says seems to have been invented for the pro- motion of murder. France had her grand assassins in the sixteenth century and among the first to fall by treacherous hands were the dukes of Orleans and Burgundy. Louis V., who rebelled against his father, is be lieved to huve been murdered by his brother and to have songht the death of Charles of Burgundy. Poirot killed the duke of Guise, the greatest man of a great race, and the duke’s son wasone of the murderers of Admiral Celigny. And this Guise was in turn assassinated by Henry 111., the last of the Valois kings of France, and a Jacobin monk soon after sent Henry to follow his vietim, Henry IV, was killed by Francois Ro- vaillae, a Romish fanatic, and Marat fell by the hand of Charlotte Corday. Napoleon I., by whose orders. the Duc d'Enghbien was assassinated, was shot at by a German youth in 1809, and a French officer named Cartillon attempted to kill Wellington, Louis Philippe was attacked with fire- arms and infernal machines so often that his escapes seem wmarvelous, and Ovsiui’s attempt on the life of Napoleon 11, was the last time it was tried to kill a European ruler preceding the several attempts made on the life of Wilhelm I. of Prussia. Three separate attempts were made to murder the first ruler of the German empirve, and Becker, as well as Hudel and Nobling, the self-appointed executioners, failed i their purpose, Bismarck was several times the victim of attempted assassination. Lord Pual- merston was once fired at by a crank, and only a few months ago the samo species of a person made & murderous attack on Mr. Gladstone, Bit Russia is pre-eminently the land where the assassin leavesa shining mark.

Fif teen years ago the bait took, and the suckers made fine food for mining sharks; nowadays it is as difficult to sell a salted mine as it is to find a good one. Like three-card monte and the game of the three shells and the funny little ball, it will not become a lost art, but will develop the skill of the authors as it becomes more difficult to work. The Emma mine swindle was the most famous of its kind, says the New York Sun, because it was swing by men of high réputation in polities and society. It was the first dose to be gulped down by English investorsin American mines, and it had a most salutary effect. To- day the best mining experts in the west. with such exceptions as Henry Brat- nober of Helena, Henry Wertenweller of Idaho, and Prof. A. D. Churchill of Butte, are Englishmen, and it is also true that of all investors in recent years in western mining properties the Eng- lishmen have been most successful. Severnl Ways of salting. There are several ways of salting a mine. Like the cook's famous adage concerning the rabbit, first find the mine. This is not difficult, for the ones salted have been worked for pay ore, run out, and may be had as cheap us a chromo with five pounds of tea. Old prospect holes dres: and a new whim are as good as any gold district is always to be prefe because it is just as easy to salt a gold mine and a great deal more profitable if the sucker bites. The low price of sil- ver and the consequent increased de- mand for gold properties make gold salting all the more desirable to the schemer. Having the prospect hole and a whim toawach the bottom, it is necessary for the shark to have capital enough to pur- chase a few ounces of fine, clean blown gold dust and a small rubber hand- blower, or a bellows. If the ore at the bottom of the shaft or face of the tunnel is dry and loose the shark has only to blow the dust cavefully across the al- leged vein or lead, wet down the sur- face, and take his chances. He returns for the sucker, accompanies him to the “Small-Potato-Hard-to-Peel” or the *‘Golden Avple” mine, whichever name he thinks suits the sucker’s fancy, and grows eloquent on the great deposit of mineral wealth which, unfortunately, he cannot develop for lack of capital. “Don’t take my word for it, but take the assay,” he will add; “this is new ground and I can’t teil what it is worth, but it ought to run 8100 to the ton.” This looks fair enough, and the sucker returns to the surface.with a canvas bag full of ore. This is sealed with wax at the suggestion of the shark to prevent any errors and taken to the best known of the assayers, who are as numerous in a mining country as weevils in a wheat field. The shark will then quietly whisper to the sucker that, while the assayer bears a fine reputation, it will be just as well to watch the assay, “jus isfy yourself.” The assayer offended, because, however honest he may be, he is used to that sorv of treat- ment from miners, who are the most suspicious of all people. The climax of the test comes when the assayer quietly writes $1,000 opposite the test value on the certificate, Then the tenderfoot either faints or stretches up three inches and hastens to the telegraph office to tell his friends to close the deal without asking questions. The mild mannered and green-looking prospector looks serious enough until the moaey is in hand, and then enjoys a week’s turn with the faro bank or goes east to the old folks. In two weeks time the tenderfeet are writing letters to the home paper 'about the mining schemes in the west. Chnaging Samples, Another ‘way of taking in the sucker 15 to change ihe ove samples. This re- quires sleight of hand as well as nerve, and was once successfully worked on Chairman Thomas Henry Carter of the republican national committee, This was soon after Carter had worked his way to Montana by selling the “Foot- prints of Time,” but his experience as a book agent could not stand off that of a famous colored mining shark in Helena called "'Blue Dick.” Dick has made 50,000 in mining gold, silver and sapphires He is known all over the western country as a good man to look for when a deal is on hand, One day he called on Carter and told in a mysterious way of his discovery of a fine silver prospect, the ore of which ran $95 to the ton, This is an unusual assay value for silver, and Carter’s eyes fairly bulged out of his head when he learned, in addition, that there wasa four-foot lead of solid ore. Dick explained that he wanted to sell because he had no money to develop, and Carter told him to lay ~low and say nothing. That night a conference was held with a well known Helena banker, who agreed to advance one-half of $20,- 000 if Carter would furnish the rest. The money was raised, and the next day Carter, Dick and an expert visited the prospect, which was in a fine silver country 100 miles north of Helena, Car- ter did not know mueh about mining; he only wanted to satisfy himself that the mine wus thore and leave the expert to do the rest. spector, is so Carter Tuken In, They found the lead, just as Dick had said, with all indications that it would widen out. It ran along the side of a hill which could be easily tunneled, and not far away was a fine water power to run the mills, which were already run- ning in the wily politician's vision, The expert was satistied with the loca- tion, a bagful of ore was blown out and the party returned to Dick’s cabin for the night. Then Dick took & hand in the game. After Carter and the expert were dreaming the dreams of Colonel Mulberry Sellers the smooth colored man exchanged the bag of samples for one exactly like it in surface appearance. Dick, however, missed what was prob- ably a more astounding surprise to Car- ter than Cleveland's majority in 1892, This was when the assayer returned figures to show that the ore at ali points of thelead ran over $1,000 to the ton. Carter and the banker couldn’t believe the results, but recovered in time to send for Dick and hand over a check for $20,000 without waiting to have the title secured, The title was not so impor- tanta wonth later when the owners learned from another assay that the | ore was worth 88 a ton, They never | stopped to get the water power and | chaffing of friends, and incidentally, to ‘ RIME IN HIGH PLACES!

With hydraulie power the dirt is washed through the flume and the gold running along the bottom is picked up by little beds of quicksilver fixed below the bed of the flume, At the cleanup, usually at the end of the season, the gold 1s retorted from the amalgam.
