There have been 752 tramps sheltered
and fed at the Yarmouth poor house the
present winter; and still there is an al
legged law upon the statute books of Maine
to relieve our citizens, especially those in
the rural districts where there is no police
protection, from the annoyances and de
predations of professional hoboes 1t is to
be hoped that the present Legislature may
be able to equip that law with few more
teeth. 1t would be profitable move for
the State and one that large portion of
it's citizens would not fail to appreciate.

ELECTION NOTICE.

In pursuance of the provisions of
Section 1910, of Chapter vi of
Title XIII of the Revised Statutes
of Idaho, as amended at the third
session of the legislature of the
state of Idaho, Approved March
Sth, 1895: The Board Of County
Commissioners of Kootenai County,
State of Idado, made an examina-
ton into the financial condition OF
the county aforesaid, and after ex-
aiming the records and files Of
Board and the reports of the Audi
tor and Treasurer of the county,
find that exclusive of the bonded
Indebtedness Of the county, that
there IS an outstanding indebted
ness, as shown by warrants issued
prior to the second Monday of jan
uary, A. d. 1895, of $43,5S1.24 up
on which there is accrued interest
up to the 3rd day of June, A. d.
1895, as near as the same can be
estimated, amounting to $4,O47.97,
which warrants the Board finds are
valid and legal obligations of the
county. The Board further finds
that there is now in the Treasury
of the county no money applicable
to the discharge of such indebted
ness, leaving the outstanding in
debtedness of the county as evidenc-
ed by such warrants, including in
terest as above specified, at S47,-
629.21, and the Board further finds
that said warrants are drawing in
terest at the rate of seven per cent,
per annum which the Board be-
lieves could be funded by the issue
of Bonds bearing interest not to ex-
coed six per cent, per annum. Said
warrants are not at par thus de-
preciating the credit of the county
and causing those who furnish
materials or perform services for
the county to charge above the
market rate for such materials and
services, thus greatly increasing the
cost of carrying on the business
of the county, and further the Leg
islature of the State of Idaho at its
last session passed a Revenue Act
by the provisions Of which, in case
the outstanding Indebtedness Of
any Of the counties of the state is
not funded by the issue Of Bonds
for the redemption of same, tn,
Board of Commissioners of sucl
Counties are required to levy {
special tax for the redemption anC
payment of said warrants, and i
would seem that in view of the pres
ent depression in trade and bust
ness that it would be unwise t
place any heavier burdens on tn
Tax payers of the county, aIread
necessarily heavily taxed, by tn
imposition of any additional ia
unless sanctioned by a vote Of tn
county. For these reasons theintei
ests of the county require, and th
Board deem it for Oae p0bic soot
to issue Bonds of the county t
fund the outstanding warrants

ance of the Act of the Legislative

of the provisions of the Constitu-
ton Of the State of Idaho, (Section
Is, Article s, } will issue and sell
negotiable Coupon Bonds of the
said County of Kootenai, to the
amount of 9,154.55, that being
the total amount Of the outs landing
Indebtedness of the county as evil
denced by warrants issued prior to
the second Monday of January, A.
ID. 1895, including interest on said
warrants which has accrued and
the probable amount, as near as
can be estimated, that will accrue
before the said Bonds can be dis
posed of and realized upon, there
being no money in the Treasury Of
the county applicable to the pay
ment of such indebtedness, or so
much Of said sum as may be neces-
sary to fund such Indebtedness and
redeem said warrants, and no more
of such Bonds shall be issued and
sold than shall be necessary for
such purpose; PROVIDED, that the
issueing of such Bonds be first
authorized by vote of two thirds
of the qualified electors of the coun-
ty voting at an election to be held
for that purpose, as hereinafter pro-
vided. Said Bonds shall be issued,
as near as practicable, in denomin-
atoms of one thousand dollars, or
if necessary in denominations of
five hundred and one hundred dol
lars, and will bear interest at rate
not to exceed six per cent. per
annum, the interest to be paid on
abe first day of January and the

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-There are some
enterprising Chicago gentlemen who
have a tremendous scheme on hand in
the line of railroad enterprise which
if carried out will revolutionize the
passenger travel between the eastern
and western coasts. Regarding it a
bill was introduced in the house of
representatives at Washington yester-
day to incorporate the National Central
Railway company and providing that
the United States shall guarantee
interest of 3 per cent on the company's
bonds.
J.C. Reynolds, one of the originators
of the project was seen today. He
said regarding the proposed road, "The
line has been surveyed east to New
York and we have pretty definite
idea as to our route west. The enter
prise is to be backed by English capital.
Mr.. Bollin, who is an active member Of
the company. has been to England
several times and has pledges from
English capitalists who will furnish the
money when the bill is passed. Sir
Richard Fox, prominent English
capitalist, has favorable opinion OF
the proposed line. The road will
shorten the distance between New
York and Chicago by at least $50 miles
and and about the same to San Fran

THE NEW FIRE LIMITS.
An Ordinance Which Is a Law in
Itself.

An Ordinance Which Is a Law in
Itself.
City Attorney Israel has practically
decided upon the terms OF the new fire
limits ordinance. though it has not
vet been drawn. Under the new or
diDance the present fire limits will be
unchanged except when they run
through alleys. In erch cases they viii
be extended only to the next outward
street.
The principal feature of the new or
dinance will be the creation of
a new council committee which
will be known as the build
ing committee, and which will Issue
building permits and have absolute su-
pervision of all buildings ere cted within
the fire limits. Frame buildings will
be prohibited, nor will the council have
the latitude it now enj ,ys of issulng
special permits. In other words ali
discretionary power within the fire
limits is removed from the council.
The new ordinance is based upon
similar and tried municipal law.

BLUFFED THE LAW.
No Authority to ColOnize County
JailS.

Mrs. Elena Yescas, OF notorious fame,
ran successful bluff against the law
Yesterday as impersonated in Justice
Johnstone. MIS-. Yescss, who is in
weekly conflict with the penal code, had
been sentenced the day before to pay a
fine OF SIS or serve fifteen days in the
county jail. Mrs. Yescas thought if a
day were given her she might be able
to raise the amount of the fine. Yes
terday morning she reappeared in court
and announced that she had been un-
able to complete the financial arrange
ment she had in mind and declared her
readiness to go to jail. She was ac-
panied by 2-year-old child, which
was nursing vigorously. Another in
FAINT year older stood at her side, in
the rear were two other children with
sore eyes, and in the dim distance was
15-year-old daughter, whose walls woke
the echoes of Wall street from Wash
ington to Jefferson.
Are ali these your children ?" asked
the justice.
ISL senor," replied Mrs. Yescas.
what are you going to do with
them ?" inquired the magistrate.
LAKE Gnom along, answered the
prisoner, "all but her," pointing to the
bowling girl, 81 can't leave the babies
at home and | must have the other two
with me so can doctor their eyes"
The justice opened the revised stat
utes and ascertained that while he had
authority under certain circumstances
to send people to Jail, his power fell
short of esta blishing a colony in a penal
institution. He was rather glad OF it,,
for he likes Sheriff Orme, so he said to
Mrs. Yescas: "You get out of this go
home and behave yourself; if l ever get
you in my court again III send you to
Yuma"
When the procession had filed out of
the door he entered on the docket,
Judgment has been suspended"
