said: II brought a bale Of cotton here
five years ago; sold it for s40.50. With
this money paid my taxes. S22; got new
dress for my wife, So; shoes for the chill

my pocket for the preacher. l brought
in bale today, sold it for $3.50; paid
my taxes, 1925, and have quarter left.

THE PLACE OF MEETING.
HARMONIC HALL SECURED FOR
JANUARY III, Is AND 16, 1896.
The Commercial Club of Mime
apolis Furnishes it Free.
COME ONE, COME ALL.

We announce, with pleasure, that,
through the kindness of the CONNER
cial Club Of Minneapolis, the State
Farmers Alliance and the Peoples
Party League have been given the
free use of Harmonic Hall for three
days and nights, the IA, Is and 16 of
January next. 1t is understood that
the hall during the daytime will be
used by the State Farmers Alliance;
and at night by the Peoples Party
League. The night of the 14th, will
be devoted to general meeting of
the League for business and speech
making. The days Of the 14th and
18th will be given up to the Alliance
work; and on the night of the 18th,
Mrs. Lease. and possibly Hon. Jerry
Simpson and Robert Schilling, will
crate; the doors will be thrown open
to everyone and there will be Peo-
ple's Party love-feast and preparation
for the 1896 campaign. 1t is hoped
for the sake Of those who attend from
outside, and who cannot afford much
expense in these hard times, that the
proceedings will not extend beyond
two days,-the 18th and 18th; but to
make sure, in case of an emergency,
we have secured the use Of the hall
for the third day, the 10th, while we
hope not to use it.
We will expect every one who at
tends the convention, to call upon
The REPRESENTATIVE, at its new
and handsome rooms, 642 Boston
Block. AS many will get into town on
Monday night, the 18th, there will be
a kind Of preliminary, informal gath.
ering at our Office that night, not for
business, but to shake hands and get
acquainted with each other. On the
afternoon and night, of the 18th jan
uary, Secretary Henderickson informs
US, there will be a meeting of the
State Farmers Alliance Executive
Committee, at the Brunswick Hotel,
as required by the constitution of the
Order. He has sent notices to that
effect to the members OF the Execu-
tive Committee.
We desire to thank the people of
Minneapolis, the Commercial Club,
its excellent Secretary, Mr.. Danforth,
the Chamber of Commerce. and Hon
Joel Is. Bassett, and others for
their kindness in giving us the free
use of the great Harmonic Hall.
They recognize the importance of
making their city the headquarters
Of all large gatherings. 1t is wise
policy; and the merchants of the city
will, We hope, sell goods enough to
more than recompense them for any
outlay they may be at.
We know the times are hard, but,
Notwithstanding that fact, we hope
and believe that there will be a large
attendance to show our opponents that
the cause of Reform is not dead in
Minnesota. We are laboring to get
very cheap rates on the railroads and
at hotels; and everything will be done
to make the occasion pleasant and
profiua BILE one. 1t will be worth
travelling 300 miles to hear Mrs.
Leases great speech.

Olympia. July 2o-speciai in
the following cases were filed in the su-
preme court today:
F. A. Williams. respondent VS.. Dexter
Shoudy, treasurer of kIttitas county. an
pellant. Respondent I'm this case was own
er OF certain county warrants drawn on
the general fund in 1890 and 1891 an Of
which. prior to October a. 1891 had been
presented but no, paid for want of funds.
and applied for writ of mandate requir-
ting appellant to pay the warrants with
interest at 10 per cent. An affidavit in
support or this application sets forth that
at the time OF the issuance of the war
rants the valid Indebtedness of tho county
was equal no L per cent. of the taxable
property: that the indebtedness for which
the warrants were issued was attempted
TO be incurred without the assent of three
flfths Of the voters OF said county, huf
that otherwise the warrants were a valid
claim. II Is further stated that the ooun-
~ commissioners passed a resolution for
the purpose Of submitting the question of
ratification of the Indebtedness of the
county. which proposition carried hy the
legal majority, and that respondents war
rants were thereby validated. but the
treasurer still refused payment.
Appellant admits these allegations ex-
cept that the warrants were valid. and
enioined in a former suit from paving said
warrants: (2) that the warrants were in
valid at the time of issuance. and were
not validated at the election. for the rea-
son that the dates between which the war
rants sought 70 be validated were issued
were rot set forth in the ballots voted at
said eleStion ts) that the warrants were

Court below sustained respondents de-
gnurrer, and writ was made peremptory.
In answer 10 the first objection. the su-
preme court thinks: "a the subsequent
election rendered the former injunction in-
operative: ~ II is the resolution and no.
tice provided for by the act which furnish
information 10 the voter. and the form OF
ballot was sufficient; 60 IL is clear the mis-
take of the clerk In the election notice did
not prevent a free and fair expression OF
the voters, hence. fmmaterfal; tD in this
case the voters of kittitas county knew
the attempted Indebtedness submitted for
ratification was evidenced by warrants
and by Implication drew interest. and we
think the vote entitled Respondent TO the
same interest as a holder OF warrants that
he would be entitled TO demand II the war
rants had been legally issued originally.
and does not restrict his right 20 receive
interest only from ratification: affirmed.
