There has been considerable trouble
In Idaho over the appointment of re.
ceivers by the courts, to take charge
of mortgaged farm properties where
the mortgages were from any cause
due. The same experiment was at
tempted in this state recently, the
suits being commenced by foreign
loan companies in the United States
courts. Judge Bellinger, who has a
lot of hard horse sense as we'll as 8
knowledge Of the law in his Uranium,
decided Thursday that the mortgage
could only get possession Of the
property after foreclosure and sale
according to law.
The apologists of the Spanish Ad.

her, tell US: "The Spanish officers
were very polite and made but slight

In taking possession of the island of
Formosa Japan inherits the task of
dealing with the savage natives of the
interior, who remain unconquered,
though they have been invaded by the
armies of Spain, Holland and China.
The barbarians will fight desperately
for the independence they have always
maintained, and it is probable that
Japan, as the first step, will try to con-
ciliate them. But the island is,only
one-fourth the size of Missouri, and
with the aid of modern weapons and
overwhelming numbers the Japanese
could make short work Of any organ
lied resistance.
There is multiplicity Of police off,
GERS in Omaha, and this is causing
great anxiety among the citizens.
The A. P. A. is making an effort to
secure the control of the police, and
after tonight there will be two squads
on duty. A law was passed by the
last legislature, and under this the new
policemen will derive their authority;
while the old force contend that the
law is invalid and do not propose to
give up their stars or billies. It is
very likely that 1t will require the
militia to protect the city from distur-
bance from these opposing guardians
of the peace. From appearances
Omaha will soon suffer from being
governed too much.
We received a letter last Monday
from Mr.. E. E. Sharon, of Portland,
in regard to an article in the TINES
MoUNTAINEER in reference to the late
editorial association, In which it was
stated that Col. ]. B. Eddy objected
to Sharon's name being placed on the
list of members because he was not
connected with the press of the state.
Mr.. Sharon says he Is editor of the
Pacific Odd Felloao, and is therefore
to membership. Our infor-
nation was from a published report
Of the proceedings, and the refutation
Is willingly made. The Odd Felloau is
an ably edited paper, and a welcome
visitor OF our exchange table.
At Common Law it was said the
