matter of providing witnesses should

He also suggests that the mileage of
jurors be reduced one-half
Judge Piper would fix the mileage
for all Jurors 20 cents per mile one way.
He also favors reduction of sheriff's
mileage from So cents to 20 cents and the
reducing of keepers fees to 50 per day.
CLERKS FEES.
He suggests the following reductions
in clerks fees: In all cases where comics
are furnished for parties, the fee for
certifying to the correctness thereto
shall not exceed % cents: for issuing
decree or order of sale, reduce to 10
cents; strike out provision for 10 cents
for swearing witnesses. In cases of
appeal from justice or probate courts,
where the judgement exclusive of costs
does not exceed $25, it should not be
appealable.
A change in the law so as to allow
constables and justices more reason
able compensation for their services is
recommended. He would also author
ize district judges to call special ses-
sions of the district court for the pur-
pose of passing on demurrers and mo-
tons, so that when the regular term is
called the court can proceed to the
regular business of trial by jury. as,
under the present system, when court is
called IN regular session, the docket is
in such a condition that delay and I'M
necessary expenses are incurred. He
further suggests that the insolvency
law be so amended that an assignee
may be elected in open court or at cham

WIFI JUDGES THINK
Opinions of Idaho Judiciary on Reducing

With a view of being able to make
suggestions to the present session of the
legislature. looking to a reduction of
public expenses. Governor Mcconnell
recently addressed letters to each of the
five district judges. asking them for
suggestions of needed legislation to
bring about a more economical admin
istration of our laws, says the Boise
Statesman.
Judge Piper, of the Second Judge
Stockslager of the Fourth, and Judge
Standrod, of the Fifth district. ans
wered the communication and for
warded their opinions which together
with the recommendations of the su-
preme court judges have been trans
mitted to the house and senate
The supreme court judges suggest
an amendment to section 1912 revised
statutes, so as to allow party dissat-
fled with the cost claim of the opposite
party in a suit, 10 days in which to file
a motion to have the same taxed by the
court in which judgment was rendered
instead of three days as at present.
Representative Wyman introduced a
bill covering the ground. 1t has al
ready passed the house.
Attention is also called to section 1O7
of page 80, first session laws, as being
in direct conflict with the constitu-
ton in this, that ii provides, that if
any two or more persons have an equal
and the highest number of votes for
member of either house of the legisla-
ture, for judge of the supreme or dis

such instances the two houses of the
legislature shall by joint ballot elect
one of such persons.

The judges also make the following
recommendations:
Amend section SS7, revised statutes,
so as to extend to towns and villages

FOUGHT WITH FIRE.


Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 22.-Mrs. Jane
of this city was burned to death Thurs
day night The residence is isolated
standing alone on the north bank of
the Clearwater river. By some means
the lady caught her clothes on fire
while alone in the house The accident
occurred early in the evening but moth
ing was known of her terrible fate till
she was discovered dead on her bed
the next morning. In the room was
evidence of a fearful struggle. She had
clawed at the walls and doors with
hands that had been burnt till the flesh
was falling from the bones, and all
about the floor were bloody tracks
made in frantic efforts to escape from
the room. She seemed to have des-
paired of escaping from the fire and
smoke and to have thrown herself on
the bed.
The room was hard finished and tight
ly closed so that the fire smothered out
ana was not even observed by the other
occupants of the house of whom there
were four who We're all absent only a
few minutes during the evening. The
body was found on the bed burnt al
most beyond recognition while the
blankets and mattresses were not even
scorched. The circumstances surround
ing the tragedy We're so unusual that
the coroner was called to make inves-
legations. The findings all pointed to
accidental burning by the ignition of
the clothing in the open fire place in
the bedroom.
