AT the Third session of the Idaho
Legislature law was passed making
it unlawful for any judge or county
officer to charge soldiers or seamen or
the widows, orphans or legal repre-
sentatives thereof, any fee for services
in matters pertaining to pensions or
pension dues. Following is the act

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLIsM.

ONE Of the most essential things to
the growth and prosperity of a town
or community is unity. This is es-
pecially true where the town is small
Business men, and in fact all who
wish to see their town prosper, should
patrOniZe one another in everything
and in every way possible, thus keep
ing the money spent for necessaries
in circulation at home. People often
get into the habit of sending away for
almost everything they need because
they believe they are getting better
bargains than would be possible at
home, which is seldom the case. 1t
certainly does not show good business
tact for a person to send off and pay
for an article before seeing it. Now
and then few cents may be saved in
this way, butit frequently occurs that
better bargains can be had right at
home, and not infrequently that you
are bilked by sending away for your
goods. Besides, every dollar you send
out Of the community diminshes the
circulating medium just that much
and has it's effect on the trade of your
town. 1t is a pernicous habit and has
done a great deal to retard the growth
OF western towns. II there is any
profit to be made on an article which
you need give the home merchants
and artisans chance, instead of a
blk in some eastern city. In this
connection we might mention that on
Monday next there will be an institu-
tion in town to remain three days,
rake in all the sheckels they can,
spend practically nothing while here,
and then move on. We have pho
tographer in town who does very good
work, who lives in the county, and
spends his money at home. The peo-
pie of Rathdrum will be given an OBJ
portunity to show their appreciation
of home industry and will show their
good sense by patronzing this for
eign institution equally as we'll as the
latter patronizes the town. Their
work may be first class, but that alone
should not induce our people to pat
ronize them. Our photographer also
does first-clasS work.

IN another column we publish the
official vote on the bonding question.
Readers will find this table of inter-
est from the fact the vote by precincts
shows where the opposition to the
question came from. Why an intelli-
gent taxpayer should vote against the
proposition of funding an existing
warrant Indebtedness by an issue of
1920 bonds is certainly conundrum.
At least part of the opposition came
from voters who were misinformed on
the question by men, or rather sore
heads, who never have and perhaps
never expect to pay taxes in this
county, and consequently cared moth
ing for the interests of those who do.
and whose mental calibre may be
judged from the fact that this bond
ing question was with them polite
al issue. However, the election has
proved that the influence OF these
men IN Kootenai county is like drop
in the bucket, and had each voter
been properly Informed on this cues
tion it would have been less still.
FROM the general tone of the small
er end of the state press one would be-
lieve that Idaho is just entering upon
another political campaign. Accord
ing to these sheets every move
made by certain officials has it's polit-
ical significance. It was only few
short months ago since the last oues-
tion of the late campaign was settled.
and it would seem that long suffer-
ing and patient public are entitled to
short rest before the 1896 campaiyn
opens, which will undoubtedly be hot
enough to melt away the most ardent
of these would-be political inf1uen-
tialS."

The supreme court has decided that
women cannot vote at the coming
election in Utah in November, which
is reversal of the decision recently
made by Judge Smith at Ogden. The
case was brought up on appeal in the
suit Of one Sarah E. Anderson against
a registration officer at Ogden, which
involved the question of women vot-

ALMOST A FIGHT
EX-MAYOR HAZARDS ENCOUNTER
WITH W. B. HINKLE
The Row Is Said to Have Originated Over a
Damaging Affidavit on the A. p.
A. Organization.

Ex-Mayor Hazard had personal en-
counter yesterday with W. B. Hinkle, an
inspector of the city health department.
The trouble was caused by an incident
that occurred several weeks prior to the
city election, and which may have had
something to do with Hazards over
whelming defeat for the mayoralty.
Several weeks before election Mr.. Hin
kle is said to have made affidavit to the
statement that Hazard was one day heard
to say, "D-m the A. P. A. s and their
principles" The incident created con-
siderable talk at the time and was given
publicity through the newspapers.
Hinkle said that yesterday was the first
time he had met Hazard since the affidavit
was made. He was going up the stairway in
the Downey block, he said, when Hazard
met him. The ex-Mayor asked him
what he was going up there for, and re-
ceived a sharp reply. Without further
ado, so Hinkle says, Hazard struck at
the inspector, who lodged the blow.
Then a war of words followed, in
which Hinkle told the ex-Mayor that if
he again attempted any such perform
ance he would arrest him, as he was a
special officer. The row stopped at this,
Hazard going one way and the inspector

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. D. II. Muir OF Truro, Nova Scotia, Vic
tim of Heart Disease.

The Daily News of Truro, Nova Scotia,
OF February LIST last. contains an account
of the sudden death, on January Slst, OF
Mrs. W. H. Muir, the wife of DIR. W. II.
Muir of that city. The cause OF death
was rheumatism of the heart and the I'M
fortunate lady had little or no warming OF
her fatal summons. Mrs. Muir was the
wife of a brother of j. A. Muir, the
Superintendent of Los Angeles Division
of the Southern Pacific and had many
friends here, made during her brief visits
to this city. The news of her death and
especially the suddenness of it will be read
by them with feelings of sincere regret.
In the notice given the News voices the
sorrow of the people OF Truro, among
whom Mrs. Muir Dad lived so long and by
whom she was beloved for the many ster-
ling qualities she possessed as a mother
wife and friend. The deceased was the
daughter of Hon. John Richie, Judge in
Equity of Truro Province, and was noted
as a clever woman in every way.

A SWEDE'S CONTRACT.
lie Did All the Labor and His Partner Drank
Up the Proceeds.

lie Diu All The LaDOT anu tbs f6TtneT DEanN
Up the Proceeds.
Max Otto, Swedish laborer was ex-
amined yesterday at San Fernando on a
charge of having attempted to murder an
old rancher named o. d. Buck, but the
facts that were brought out were such
that Deputy District Attorney Willis felt
constrained to ask for a dismissal of the
case.
o. D. Buck had represented about a
year ago to the unsophisticated Swede
that he was the owner of a 16O-acre ranch
in the Little Tejunga, when as matter
of fact all he had was merely a possessive
right on Il quarter section of Government
land He promised Otto if he would go
to work grubbing out all the roots on the
land that he would deed him one-half of
the ranch. Otto worked long and faith
fully, accommodating roots by the bushel
and by the ton, and when there was
wagon load or two of the fuel Buck
would bring it into town and spend the
proceeds.
Finally the Swede got tired of doing all
the labor while Buck was having all the
fun and he wanted division of the land
and dissolution of partnership. Then
the true state of affairs came out and
Otto learned that all his work had netted
him nothing. In the heat of a discus
sion in which bad words were the sum
total of the arguments, Otto swung a
knife, which he had been using, too close
to Bucks anatomy and his arrest was the
consequence.
Justice ]. H. Barclay dismissed the
case, although he had been prepared for
the worst as evidenced by the fact that
he had already issued a venire for a jury
to try the Swede on charge of attempted
murder.

TRIAL PLACE CHANGED.
An Order of the San Diego Superior Reversed
by the Supreme Court.

Ny thS supreme SOhft.
The Supreme Court has reversed the or
der denying the motion of defendants to
change the place of trial from San Diego
to Los Angeles in the case of Mary Brady
against the Times Mirror Company and
others.
The plaintiff commenced an action for
damages against the defendants in San
Diego, alleging that she had been libeled
by the Times, a newspaper circulating
in that county. Defendants on August
IS, 1898, demurred to the complaint and
made demand in writing for a change
of the place of trial This was denied.
The Supreme Court holds that if the ac-
ton had been brought against the Times
Mirror Company alone, under Section Is,
Article XII of the Constitution, the
plaintiff S right to have the action tried
in San Diego would have been undoubted,
but by including other defendants, whose
residence is outside the county of San
Diego, she waived these. Subsequently
the complaint was modified so as to make
the corporation the sole defendant, but
the Supreme Court held that none of the
steps prescribed in Section 58l, Code OF
Civil Procedure had been taken in the
present case, but instead the Court had
made an order directing the plaintiff to
amend her complaint. This left the orig
inal action still pending and it was upon
this ground that the order is reversed.

LOOKS LIKE ENLIGHTENMENT.
How Charles Espe Took Horse and wagon
and Never Went Back

j. A. Newlee, who conducts butcher
shop at Central avenue and Adams street,
was up at six O'Clock last night, mourn
ing the loss of a young bay horse and
costly delivery wagon.
He reported to the police yesterday that
on the day before he hired man who
called himself Charles Espe, to ddiver
meats. He had but a passing acquaint-
ance with the new man, but thought he
was at least honest.
He fitted the wagon out with meats,
and started the driver on the rounds.
Like the cat that was so much sung
about, he never went back.
The supposition was that Espe had dis
posed of the horse and wagon and left
the city, but at 6 O'Clock last night the
missing man was arrested on the street
by Officer Steele. When taken to the sta
ton warrant was read to him, charging
him with embezzement.

He Could Not Comply.


Among the obliging men in the City
Hall, Clerk Parker, in the Mayors office,
ranks well in front, especially when it
comes to granting lady favor, but YES
terday he was compelled to say no to one
OF the fair sex, in spite of himself. He
received violet scented billet doux from
the manageress of the Woman's building
at the Cotton States and International
Exposition at Atlanta, Ga, asking him to
forward the pictures of the nine lady
members of the Board of Education Of
this city who, the letter stated, were Sc
lected by the people at the last election.
Parker at first tried to coax the members
of the present board to go to a photog-
rapher and don Greek drapery, so that lie
might send the pictures as substitutes for
the nine lady members. Failing in this,
he wrote telling the lady in Atlanta that
somebody had been fooling her, and adj
vising her as the next best thing to ret
the state legislators pictures, in case they
passed the Woman Suffrage bill.
