OF eminent statesmen whose names are

ALL UP WITH MORRILL,
Cy Leland Informs in Person That He
Can Not Support Him.


At o'clock this afternoon Cy Le-
land went to Governor Morrill, and in
formed him that he could not support
him for governor. What was said at
the interview viii not be known as Mr..
Leland does not talk and Governor Nor
rin is likewise silent as to details
This was the elimination of the de-
cision of the Republican boss at the
Beloit encampment when he found that
the sentiment even among the old
soldiers was overwhelming against
MorrilIs denomination which is de-
tailed on another page
Mr.. Leland expressed the belief to
friend that if Morrill, is nominated he
would run behind his ticket 10. 600 votes
1t is now generally believed that
Morrill, will finally withdraw and that
the Leland forces will unite upon some
one. probably Sam Peters of Newton
Leland has preserved an attitude of
silence on the question of Governor
AIorrill's nomination for some time and
it is evident that he was waiting to
ascertain the sentiment among Repub-
Heans over the state. When he went to
Beloit he was satisfied and his an
nouncement that he had decided to
abandon Morrill, followed.

Pearl Bryan Once on a Visit to
Kansas.

Newport. Ky, April 24-The inter
est in the Bryan trial continues un-
abated-
The testimony of Mrs. A. S. Bryan,
the mother Of Pearl, was fun Of pathos.
When asked how she was able to iden-
ty if the headIess .sirl, sent to Green
castle, as her own Pearl, she answered
with thrilling effect. Its difficult for
a mother to be deceived about recog-
nizing her own child"
She identified blood stained garments,
shoes and trinzets as those of her muir
dered child. She also testified that
Pearl had never been from home ex-
cept on a three months trip with her
to Kansas; that Scott Jackson was sell
dom a visitor to her house. that VIII
Wood introduced him first. that she
herself was absent last year from
March tin July with an invalid daugh-
ter in New Mexico. that Pearl was the
only housekeeper for her father. broth
ers and two little nephews while she
was absent
Fred Bryan's testimony showed that
Pearl had serious home duties and but
little experience with the world; also
that VIII Wood first introduced Scott
Jackson to Pearl not long before her
mother started on her four months
visit to New Mexico Both mother and
son testified that JacksOns s visits to
the Bryan home were not frequent and
that he never took Pearl buggy riding
from the Bryan home. Both admitted
that Pearl was often at Greencastle
and might have met Jackson there at
intervals.
Another impressive witness was Mary
Morgan. who first found PEARLS hat
near her home back of Newport The
blood stained handkerchief found i'm
the hat by Mrs Morgan was in evil
dence and was Unidentified by the Wit
ness.
DR.. W. T. Littler OF Leesburg. Ky,
was a medical student and rOOmed ia
the same building with Jackson and
Walling. He testified that Jackson had
called upon him about January % to
settle a dispute about the effect Of CO..
caine. He also saw Walling and jack
son in communication i'm the McNevin
boarding house the night Jackson was
arrested
1t was also proven by J. II. Ulen that
he sold Jackson seventeen grains of
cocaine on the 29th of January.

The fact regarding the selection of

follows
This city sent nine delegates to the
state encampment at Beloit. Not
single citizen of Leavenworth accom-
panied that delegation. All of the dele

When the first delegates from Leav~

talk except Topeka for the reunion
When it became apparent that the i'm

ion rapidly gained ground that the
delegates We're being led by their Off
GERS and by the delegation from To-

PERITY: BIMErALLIsM.
DELINQUENT TAXES.

DELINQUENT TAXES.
Under the law as amended by the
Third Idaho legislature the assessors
Of the various counties OF this state
must prepare and have published on
or before the fourth Monday in May
Of each year list Of the property
on which the taxes are delinquent.
Heretofore the law required this pub
LEGATION to be made by assessors on or
before the fourth Monday in Decem-
Der OF each year. After AZ days and
not later than SO from the first pub
LEGATION Of this list the assessor must
proceed to sell the property thus adj
vertised for taxes due the county there
on. The construction given the phrase
ION or before the fourth Monday"
and heretofore always recognized by
assessors all over this state has been
that the first publication must be
made after the third and not later
than the fourth Mondays in the
month. For an illustration, II the
day for publication OF a newspaper is
not Monday, 1t would be l7gal to pub
llsh the list tor the first time any day
after the third and before the fourth
Mondays. j. p. Quarles, our assess
or, has this year taken departure
from the custom and the law, on
which he has placed the ridiculous
construction giving him the right to
have the tax-llst published six weeks
earlier than the law requires, and he
evidently Is the sole author Of this new
construction Of the law, as no other
county In the state has Yet advertised
delinquent tax-lists. The first publ
cation Of the delinquent tax-list of
Kootenai county appeared In a sup
plement Of the Occur d'Alene Press
last Saturday, April II, just six weeks
sooner than the law allows or requires
the same to be done.
J. p. Quarles is an outspoken can
didate for the Office of sheriff OF this
county, and at the present time is
twisting himself into all manners Of
cOntortions In trying to pose before
the people as reformer and friend
to the taxpayers, and we therefore
deem 1t our: duty to expose some of
his rotten transactions, which will be
done In as few words as possible, for
1T is a naseuating piece Of business to
which we wish to call the taxpayers
attention.
The question naturally arises: Why
was Mr.. Quarles in such a hurry to
have the delinquent tax-list publish
ed? Was it because he wished to fav-
or the taxpayers, or because he wish
ed to gain the favor of a newspaper
that will next fall support him for the
office Of sheriff? The work Of pub
fishing the delinquent tax-list comes
