A PREDICTION THAT IL BEING
VERIFIED.
ELKToN, DOUGLAS Co.. oregon.

ELKToN, DOUGLAS Co., Oregon.
EoIToR IpAHo WoRLD:-I received
your valuable paper of March 22d,
which was brm full Of sparkling
news that reminded me of twenty
years ago, when I was child and
lived with my parents in Idaho City.
We moved to the mines, where my
father spent eight or ten years in
prospecting, and his intention was to
stay, but my mothers health being
very poor we were compelled to re-
turn to Oregon. In reading over
your paper, which is q little world in
itself, l am reminded of what have
often heard my father say-that the
time would come when the Idaho and
Montana mountains would be the
wonder of the world, on account of
their vastly rich mineral ores-gold,
sil> >er, copper, lead and iron. l have
often heard him say he might not live
to see it, but the time would be when
cords of silver bricks would be
shipped from those mountains by rail-
road. Verify it begins to look like
such might be the case in the near fu-
ture. My father was well satisfied
that there were millions of the pre-
cious metals in the bowels of those
mountains, but he exhausted all that
he had, and as it required capital to
develop and work quartz, he had to
abandon the mining scheme. But
now that the N. P. r. r. is built,
people begin to see what my father
told years ago, and unlimited means
will be furnished by friends in Eng.
land, and hopes are entertained that
we may yet realize reward for at
least a part of our suffering.

ARGUMENTS were made last Satur-
day, by attorneys on both sides, in
the Boise county Sheriff contest case,
besore Chief Justice Weir, in Boise

ird's attorneys to have proceedings in
the case stopped, and Germans al
torney opposed, it being the aim OF
this, the losing side, to appeal the
case to the Supreme Court OF the
United States. The decision of the
Judge was to have been given yes

TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
40 me Honorable Board Of Commits.
saoners Of Boise Countw

40 me Honorable Board Of Commits.
saoners Of Boise County:
GENrLEMEN:-The experts in their
report of February 9, 1889, (pub.
llshed April l6, 1882 have made an
elaborate report of the County Su.
perintendent's accounts.
1t is q late day to bring this matter
TO the surface, especially as ono of
the gentlemen holding the same DO.
sltion in 1877 and 1888 at that time
found no error, or at least reported
none,
Singular accounts that show no
errors until February 8, 1889, and
then the errors traced back for twelve
years or more!
WIN the experts explain?
In February, 1883, l forwarded
trial balance of my accounts to the
Treasurer and was informed that our
balances did not agree. Failing to
detect any error in my accounts, l
proceeded to Idaho City with them,
for the purpose Of ascertaining where
these differences occurred. T then
learned from the Treasurer, Mr..
Smith, that differences had existed
for some years.
My actual expense at that time was
five dollars, which I charged in my
bill of April Z, 1888.
The Honorable Gentlemen of the
Board Of Commissioners having dis
allowed said amount, were not in ig-
norance of these discrepancies, and
moreover, were fully cognizant of my
effort to rectify previously existing
errors.
Furthermore: The experts report
that the County Superintendent's
books were not posted.
The Superintendent's books pere
posted up to the expiration OF his
term of office, January IA, 1889.
By what authority do experts ex-
anime and report concerning county
books subsequent to that date?
One of the experts, when ques.
toned before your Honorable Board
at the last meeting, claimed that a
special tax levied in District 8 had not
been posted. Will the experts ex.
plain that system of bookkeeping
whereby the special tax of $26S.9a
COLLECTED in District 81 could appear
on my book on or before January IA
1889, when the Treasurer's statement
to me of said tax bears date of Janu
ary 21, 1889.
If these experts have any law rela
tive to special school taxes, othe
than Sub. Div. Seventh of Sec. 667
Chap. VI. of the Revised Statutes o
the Territory of Idaho, | wish to b'
acquainted of that fact.
Gentlemen: | make no pretension'
at exporting, nor do I consider mysel
a professional accountant; but | hav'
the egotism to assert that under
stand the laws governing the Count,
Superintendent, and knowing thu
same, comply with them; and hav'
records and accounts to verify m,
statements.
The present superintendent's &C
counts are open for inspection, wit
the request, that criticisms be accom-
panied with facts.
Yours Very Respectfully,
J. A. LIPPINCorr,
County Superintendent.

A CURIOUS THEoRY.-Although ge-
ologists are accustomed to deal with
considerable alterations of level as
one of the causes operat ting to oring
about profound changes in the topog-
raphy of many regions, it has always
seemed difficult to conceive, remarks
a recent writer, that the vast depres-
sion in the face of the earth now oc-
cupied by the sea could ever have
been subject to such tremendous
changes as would be necessary to
convert them into land. Many geol-
ogists, therefore, appreciating this
difficulty, are inclined to believe in
the general permanence, during all
time, of the great oceanic beds and
of the continental areas. To account
for the origin of the oceanic basins, a
writer in a recent issue of the Geo
logical Magazine, proceeding on the
theory of Prof. Darwin that the moon
broke away from the earth more than
5O,OO0,OO0 years ago, expresses the
opinion that the ocean basins may be
the scars left by the breaking off of
the moons mass, when that prodigious
segregation took place, and that the
basement rocks of the continents are
fragments or portions of the crust,
which had already been in solid'hed
state. and which were left behind.

Prisoner Attempts to Hang Himself
Three Times in Central staIion-He Fails
to Borrow n Knife and Gets so DAYS.
Early yesterday morning Andrew john
son, who had been arrested on Thursday
night for drunkenness, made three unsuc-
cessiul attempts to commit suicide in the
Central station. Between and o'clock
one of the turnkeys found the prisoner sus-
pended from the bars at the top of the cell,
using his suspenders as rope. He was cut
down and was found to be not much the
worse of the attempt.
Between 8 and o'clock the turnkey
again discovered the man suspended from
the top of the cell, having used an old
necktie that he had in his pocket as a rope.
This time johnson was blue in the face and
his tongue was hanging out. He was again
cut down and handcuffed.
Shortly before 8 o'clock the handouts
were removed. and the prisoner, evidently
determined to end his life, again tried to
hang himself by taking the sleeve of his
shirt and, bv tearing it in halt, making a
rope with which he once more suspended
himself only to be discovered and cut
down.
johnson then circulated among the other
prisoners, who were being made ready for
the hearing, and tried to borrow a knife
with which to end his career, but was un-
successful.
Judge Gripp sent him to the workhouse
for 60 DAYS.

The well-known countenance of John

Der of people on Smithfeld street yesterday.
Inquiry elected the information that the
last dray in active service during some
years past, and of which Mr.. Kimmins was
pilot, was housed about Is months ago. 1t
will not be many years until the dray
will be forgotten by the boys and girls now
growing up as completely as is the Conestoga
wagon, by all except the aged, yet within
the memory of the middle aged it, the dray,
was the vehicle on which nearly all the
immense steamboat traffic of the city was
hauled. Light packages were hauled in
spring-wagons, but for heavy weights the
dray was used almost exclusively.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DISPATCH

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM to THE DIsPArcH.y
PHILADELPHIA, October 18.-Mayor
Edwin h. Filter has decided upon his future
in politics. He proposes to represent the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the
United States Senate, and thereby become
the successor of J. Don Cameron. The next
Legislature, which meets in 1891, will elect
Matthew Stanley Quay's colleague, and a
number of the members-elect of the State
Senate hold over. Mayor Filter has already
approached several of the holding-over
Senators to seek their influence in his
ambition, and is now officially in the field
to succeed United States Senator Cameron.
The Mayor is managing his own campaign,
and is thoroughly reliant and independent
In discussing his Senatorial aspirations, not
long since, with an influential man in
politics he was asked: "Have you spoken
to Mr.. McManes yet?"
"Why should consult him?" demanded
the Mayor.
'Only, your honor, that .heis very friendly
with Senator Quay, who is power in the
State"
"why should 1 seek Quay's iu1uence?"
again demanded the Mayor with indigna-
ton, and the conversation was quickly
turned in another direction,
One of che Mayors plans of campaign is
to demonstrate his power in making candi-
dates. He has boldly declared in favor of
Adjutant General D. II. Hastings for the
Republican nomination for Governor next
year. But he even looks further ahead than
naming Governor. Under the new charter
the Mayor cannot succeed himself. but Mr..
Filter has selected his successor in Thomas
Dolan, and proposes to have him nominated.
The Mayor is at this time shaping the i'm
mense patronage at his disposal and under
his direction to that end.
With the powerful influences of the De-
partments of Public Safety and Police
Works, Mayor Filter firmly believes that he
can control the Mayors nominating conven-
tion. In the meanwhile he will dictate, if
possible. the nominations for such minor
Offices as Receiver of Taxes, Police Mag
istrates, City Solicitor and Councilmen.

Figuring as Plaintiff In q Suit to Recover
$500, 900 or More-The American
Glucose Company Defend.
ants In the Case.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
ROCHESTER, N. Y, October 18.-Susan
B. Anthony, the noted woman sufragist,
and her sister, Mary s. Anthony, are after
the American Glucose Company, of Buffalo,
to the extent of about $125, 900, for which
they have begun suit. 1t appears from the
complaint that in 1888 the Leavenworth,
Kan, Sugar Company, in which the plain
tifs, with their brother, Colonel D. R.
Anthony, were large stockholders. Together
with the Firminish Sugar Company, of
Buffalo, the Buffalo Grape Sugar Company,
the American Grape Sugar Company and
the Peoria Sugar Refinery were consoli-
dated into one corporation, under the name
of the American Glucose Company. This
corporation was organized under the laws of
the State of New Jersey, but its business
headquarters are located at Buffalo, on ac-
count of the stringency of the New Jersey
laws.
Under the agre ement by which the con-
solidation was effected, Colonel Anthony and
his sisters should, it is claimed, have re-
ceived S125.0 900 in stock at par value as their
share in the newly organized company, but
the defendant never issued to Colonel An
thony or his sisters the stock to which they
claim they are entitled, and though annual
dividends have been declared and large
profits made, the defendant has never paid
any dividends on the Anthony interest.
Colonel Anthony has transferred his rights
to his sisters, that action may the more con-
veniently be brought here.
This action is brought to compel the de-
PENDANTS to issue the stock to plaintiffs to
which they claim they are entitled, to
organization of the consolidated company,
and then pay back dividends. In the an
swer the defendant claims that the defunct
corporations should also have been made de-
PENDANTS in the action. The attorneys for
the Misses Anthony say they nave sure
case, and may recover nearly 5000, 900. Both
ladies are in moderate circumstances.
