DISMISSED THE CASE.

A Railroad Tax Suit In the Circuit Court
withdrawn.
Yesterday the attorneys Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company filed n praeoipe
In the United States circuit court for the
dismissal of a suit commenced some time
ago by the company against the treasurer
of Fergus county TO prevent the sale of
certain lands for taxes. The court has
jurisdiction in cases involving amounts
from S., 1000 upwards and a construction
placed upon this limitation by the supreme
court Of the United States caused the
withdrawal of the suit. While the value OF
the lands ia moro than $4,000. yet the
amount of taxes is less than this sum,
and under the ruling of the supreme court
the amount of taxes involved determines
whether the circuit court has jurisdiction
or not.

cred with houses, and it is difficult even
to visit it, for no one. not even an Eng

beyond their power. Houses without

flags in thousands, beautiful and curious

saw yesterday the most remarkable
photograph ever made Of human being.
It was photograph of the youngest per-
son that ever had picture taken. The
subject is Clare May Kivlan Of Leomin-
ster, who was born May 20, and seven
minutes after her birth her photograph
was taken. 81 was disappointed to learn
that the smiling man who holds little
Miss Kivlan in the picture is not, as one
might suppose, the proud and happy IA
Their of this the first child OF Mr.. and
Mrs. K,ylan, but Is the attending ply
stefan, one OF the best known in Worces-
ter county. The happy father was the
photographer. Mr.. Kivlan is the pro-
prietor Of gallery, and his family live
on the same floor.
AS soon as the bit Of brand new hu-
manity could be wrapped in flannel
and placed in 3 little basket the doctor,
acting upon thought which came to
him suddenly, called to Mr.. Kiylan, who
had just stepped into an adjoining room:
Come. John. hurry up. I've got an
idea"
At this Mr.. Kivlan returned, when the
doctor said:
Nov, If you want 10 break the record
in taking young children, get out your
camera I'll hold the baby, and you snap
her."
No sooner said than the father rushed
across the hallway and soon returned
with his apparatus Again he rushed
ont, and this time returned with cloud
background, saying:
well use this. 1t will look as if she

Hilariously Drunk.

George F. CAMS, special cor
respondent of the st. Louis Repub-
lie who was sent to Ketchum to at
tend and report the state silver
convention on the 14th ult., gives
a very graphic and truthful state
ment of the affair, laying particu-
lar stress upon the disgraceful ac-
ton of Idaho's governor. Among
other things Mr.. CAMS says:
:On the evening Of the 14th the
members of the press were rendered
a reception in the public hall, fol-
lowed by a ball and banquet at mid
night. Wood River towns were all
represented and also many remote
districts. It was society function.
The Governor was to have made an
address at the reception and was
down on the card to speak at the
banquet. But be failed to appear
during the evening, although three
of the members of his staff were
present in uniform. It was quietly
whispered about that Mcconnell
was carousing in a saloon while
these festivities were being held. !
know it to be a fact, for I saw him
about midnight drunk to the degree
of hilarity. 1t was reported that
he had to be put to bed at three
o'clock in the morning. That is
probably true for l saw him drunk
four or five hours later.
