Bell Telephone Case DOcketed in the
Supreme Court
The. case of the United States VS. The Bell
Telephone Company, involving the validity
of the Berliner patent, issued in 1892,
was docketedintheS Supreme Court yesterday
from the court ofappeals ror tn efirstcircuit.
This is the case brought by the United
States to cancel the patent on the ground a.
that the issue was void, the same claim
having been covered by a patent issued
ten years earlier, and ~ that the patentees
had forfeited their rights to patent
by permitting its application to sleep for
many years.
In the circuit court judgment was given
in favor of the United States, but this was
reversed in the court of appeals and the
patent sustained. The government now
appeals from that Judgment. Besides the
question of the validity of the patent, the
case presents a legal proposition of great
Importance which the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States will
settle, viz: Can the United States initiate
proceedings to annul a PATENT"

SENATOR sHOUP's VISIT.


MIN distinguished Statesman Spends q
Few Hours at the County Seat.
Monday morning Senator George L.
Shoup arrived in Rathdrum from
Bonner's Ferry accompanied by H. B.
Eastman Of Boise City. The senator's
visit was rather unexpected and no
arrangements had been made for his
reception. He has been sojourning
through the state for the past six
weeks and was desirous Of visiting
Shoshone county before returning to
Washington where he expects to De
at the commencing of congress a
week from next Monday, and there
fore his visit to this place was limited
to few hours only. However he
made good use OF his time, making
the acquaintance Of as many of our
people as possible. In the afternoon
he left for Ceur d'Alene City, thence
for Shoshone county. He regretted
not having more time to spend in
Rathdrum, as this has been his first
visit for eleven years.
In brief interview the senator
stated to THE SILVER BLADE man
that his object in visiting this place
and other sections OF the state where
he had been was to become better ac-
Quainted with the people and to
learn the needs Of each section. He
stated that he would like to have the
people make known their wishes and
that he would do all in his power for
them. He referred briefly to the
national issues, the most, important
being the silver question, and the
manner in which he expressed him.
self on the latter leaves no doubt that
the senator will do his utmost for the
white metal. He stated most en-
phatically that he was for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of l6 to l. and would use every
effort to bring that result about. He
believes the day is not far distant
when silver will receive due recogni.
tlon; not near SO far as many suppose.
He is prOtectionist in every sense
OF the word. and believes that not
only should the miners of the west be
protected, but that every industry
and product of the farm should be
protected by tariff that would pre-
vent other countries from supplying
our markets at figure below che cost
OF production in this country. He be-
lleves in maintaining the Monroe doc
trlne; that no foreign country shoult
be allowed to acquire territory on the
western hemisphere and that the
United States should warn all nations
TO "keep hands off," and if necessary
10 place the army and the navy behin(
that demand.
The senator leaves the impression
OF being Conscientious man who viii
retain friends by his honorable and
straightforward course in life. He i
quite entertaining and likes to talk
on subjects in which the people are 10
terested. 1t is to be regretted tha
the senator could not spare the time
10 address the people of Rathdrum.

Grand Jury Report.

no, 10 and for the County Of Koote-
mai.
Io the Hon. Judge of Said Court:
We' the grand jury Of said county
and state for the November term. A. |
y. 1895, of said court, respectfully
submit the following report:
We have been in session as said
grand jury for a period Of five
days. During said time there has
come before us, for our considera-
tion, ten cases of alleged criminal
m miscond uct, which each received our
careful and deliberate attention. We
have found two indictments and re-
]ected the others on the ground of in
sufficient proof. In our deliberations
upon said case, we have examined in
all, thirteen witnesses. We have al
SO inspected or visited the offices Of
the different county officers, and make
the following report thereon:
We found the poOrhouse unsuited
for the purpose of caring properly
for the INDECENT poor, on account Of
insufficient and poor ventilation, and
in this behalf we have to say that TO
the best of our knowledge, we found
the patients in said poorhouse well
led. We would recommend that the
keeper thereof be requested to insist
on the patients keeping themselves in
more cleanly condition.
We also visited the jail and found
it in commercially neat and clean
condition and the persons incarcerat-
ed therein were humanely treated and
cared for and supplied with whole
some food.
We also visited the Offices of the as
SCISSOR, county auditor and treasurer
of said county and find the records of
said offices neatly kept and the busi
ness Of the respective Offices to be
faithfully conducted and their ac-
counts honesty kept.
We believe the excessive taxation
under which the people Of this county
are groaning is, in a large degree,
augmented and increased by the JUS
Jices of the various precincts in this
county who, either through incOmpe-
tency or for the purpose OF obtaining
livelihood, or through an utter dis
regard of the dictates OF common
sense. arrest and commit persons
charged with triflng offenses, for the
action Of the grand jury without sutfi-
cient evidence. and, in many instances,
without any competent evidence at
all. Many cases come before the
grand Jury for its consideration which
should. in the first instance, have
been disposed of in the justice court
having Jurisdiction of the otfense al
legged.
We especially censure one Francis
Luce. a Justice of the peace for Nortn
Side precinct, for sending to this
court for the consideration of this
grand Jury, over fifty pages of pur-
ported depositions neither sworn 10
nor verified, and not accompanied Dy
any criminal complaint charging any
offense known to thel laws Of our state,
or any warrant of arrest or commit
mont And we would recommed that
the county commissioners reject MS
hin and refuse to allow Anything FOR
Tho nrpnaratlon or said manuscript.
Wa wonld also recommend that the
hill Of no Justice be allowed until
40 came has been carefully examined
by the legal advisor OF the county
