MRS. KATE SMITHS MONEY.
Newman on Trial for Getting $40 from
Her by False Pretenses.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery
to-day, the case of Dallas NJ. DeHughes, alias s.
NJ Newman, alias G.. NJ. St. Clair on the charge
of false pretenses, was called-Mr. Campbell
Darlington for the defendant and Assistant Dis
trict attorney Mullowney for the government
DeHughes was arrested for false pretenses
in obtaining $40 from Mrs. Kate Smith under
promise of marriage, and subsequently it was
ascertained that while acting as an agent Of an
insurance company of Baltimore he wrote to
the agents there that his daughter was lying
very i'll, and asked for an advance of 500, and
then sending telegram that the daughter had
died The check was sent him, whereas he had
no daughter here, and the whole pretenses were
false.
DETECTIVE RAFF's TESTIMONY.
The first witness was Detective Raft, who tes-
titled that he had conversation with the pris-
oner when the latter was under arrest in the
12th-street station-house. When witness told
Newman, that he had no right to represent
that his child was dead he replied that that
made no difference, for he was employed by
the company. He at first declined to state
where his room was, and witness told him he
would find it. The next day witness went to
the room and found some letters addressed to
Dallas NJ. DeHughes, and he answered, 'It is
a man whose life have insured"
An objection was made and recess taken.

hoped the case would be prepared.

ditiop to proceed with

LOUISIANA PLANTERS CALL ON COMMISSIONERS OF
AGRICULTURE CoLMAN.
The delegation from the Louisiana Sugar
Growers association, which is now in the city,
called in body this morning upon Commits
sioner of Agriculture Colman and were pre-
sented by the Hon. Mr.. Wilkinson. Mr.. John
Dymond, the president of the association, ad-
dressed a few remarks to the commissioner,
thanking him, on behalf of the association,
for what he had done in introducing and de-
veloping the new diffusion process in the man.
ufacture of sugar from the sugar cane Mr..
Dymond said that planters could no longer af-
ford to continue the old process of making
sugar, and that the new process was certain to
suppiant it. He said that even the poorest of
the sugar planters would get out of their diff
fculties much quicker by adopting the i'm
provement which had been introduced by the
department of agriculture. This admission,
coming from such a source, is, of unusual sig
nifcance in its relation to the future sugar
production of this country. 1t will be remem-
bered that this process is as well adapted to
the sorghum as to the sugar cane.

book from Mrs. Elmira Rawlings. He Jumped
off the car and ran, but was soon overhauied

grabbing at everybody who came near him.
When arrested by Detective Carter and Officer
Jamison the negro showed fight and gave the

ton. He was very profane and obscene, and
the officers locked him up for hearing IN the

THE SCOTT EXCLUSION ACT.
A Case Before the U. s. Supreme Court
to Test Its ConstitutionaIity.

A motion was made in the Supreme Court of
the United States to-day by ex-Gov. Hoadley,
of Ohio, to advance for argument the case of
Chae Chan Ping, appellant, against the United
States. The appellant was Chinese laborer
who departed from the United States for China
on June 2, 1887, first having secured return
certificate from the collector Of the port of
San Francisco as required by law He returned
to the United States on October 2, 1885, but
permission to land was refused on the ground
that the return certificate had been declared
void by the Scott Chinese exclusion act Of Oc-
tober /, 1888. Chae Chan Ping then sued out
a writ of habeas corpus in the United States
circuit court, which being refused an appeal
was taken to this court. II is commended In his
behalf that the Scott act declaring the return
certificates void is unconstitutional and an alb
rogation OF vested rights. 1t is sought to have
the case advanced for hearing on the ground
that it is one of great Importance, in
voiving Thousands of certificates, many of the
holders OF which have considerable property
interests in the United States, and that a DELAY
in the determination Of the case would result
In great injury to the persons affected

Ths Cnur d'Alene Sun, referring
TO the constitution, says: The Con-
sttution is now fairly before the peo.
pie, many copies having been distrib-
uted throughout the Territory. Hav-
ing read it carefully, we think it
ought to De adopted. 1t contains
nothing to retard the growth of .
young State, and it may be consider
ed an excellent instrument of the
kind. Notwithstanding that it is
criticised in some parts of South Ida
no because it will entail slight ad-
ditlonal expense to maintain a State
Government, the privilege of secur-
ing two U. S. Senators, a Represen-
tstive, courts of our own election, and
total immunity from Territorial vas
salage, should be sufficient to tide
over this objection. We must ex-
pect to pay more for State Govern
ment than Territorial one, because
all the benefits therefrom cover a
wider scope. We need Statehood to
protect our industries, and we have
right to demand it. Therefore the
Constitution ought to be voted for
and adopted.

T. G. WEBSTER, OF Horseshoe Bend,
was in town last Saturday. He says
the new quartz district three or four
miles southwest of the Bend gives
promise of wealth. Eight locations
have been made. Assays have been
made in Boise City showing gold,
silver and lead. Samples have been
sent to Salt Lake, but returns have
not yet been received. Most of the
locations are on the head of North
Willow and Rock creeks. One,
owned by Ireton, is on the stream
that empties INTO Payette at A. G.
Church's place. Development is be,
ing pushed on this location, aud also
on two others. Mr.. Webster says
deer are already beginning to come
out of the mountains. Is this sign
of an early winter? Let the weather
prophets arise and answer.

STATESMAN: Mr.. John Ireton, oi
the Squaw Creek section of the Pay
ette, was in town yesterday and paid
a visit to the Statesman Office.
Among other interesting items OF
news, Mr. Ireton gave an account OF
recent discovery Of very promis-
ing ledge in his neighborhood. The
ledge was discovered by Mr.. Lorenzo
lreton and is owned by Lorenzo Ire
ton & Company. The lode is about
six feet wide and shows large body
of galena ore, assays from which have
been made by Frank Church of Boise
County Bank at Idaho City, and also
at the United States Assay Office in
this city. These assays show the value
of the ore to be from $I1O to $40
per ton of silver. The lode is situa-
ted on the south side of the Pavette,
three miles southeast of Marsh &
lreton's ranch. There are quite a
number of free milling gold ore
lodges in the same neighborhood from
which good assays have been obtained
Some very promising coal veins have
also been found in that section.

PUBLIC sentiment has grown strong
ly in favor of the Constitution since
its publication, and the movement for
its adoption is now practically unanl-
nous. What opposition it will have
will come from misguided individu-
ais who are impregnated with Nor
mon proclivities, and they do not be-
long to either the Republican or Dem
ocratic party. They are political
mavericks, and have but small fol-
loving. Yet it will be necessary for
every friend of Statehood to come
out on election day and cast his bal
lot. It behooves US to have large
vote on election day, if we want to
go before Congress and demand ad-
mission, as a small vote would make
US ridiculous in the eyes OF the Ma
tion.-Wallace Free Press.

Those Expenses.

A taxpayer (?) got off long har
angue in the Boise Democrat, giving
figures to show that Statehood will
cost much more than the Territoria
form of government, and winds ur
with the following intelligence: "and
that, too, for no equivalent whatever
except that We may live in a State
and vote for President"
Yes, and that is just about as far
as the average opposition to State
hood can see. They wish to convey
the idea that to live in a State and
vote for President is all the benefits
that would be derived from State.
hood.
There are SO few of them, howev-
er, that they will cut no figure in the
vote, which will be SO near that il
will be considered unanimous for the
constitution. Taxpayer is undouht-
edly one of the kind the Leader re-
fers to in school electons-pays no
taxes and does the most howling-
and it is five to one wager that his
whisky bill each week is more than
his entire yearly taxes.
