IMPORTERS AND TRADERS BANK WINS
THE BANK COMMISSION VOTES TO RETAIN 1T AS
THE CIrYs CHEZ DEPOSITORY.

THE BANK COMMISSION VOTES no RETAIN 1T AS
THE cIrY's CHIEF DEPOSITORY.
The Bank Commission met yesterday In the
Mayors Office, and after discussion lasting over
an hour voted to retain the Importers and TRADERS
National Bank as the city's chief depository. Con-
troller Fitchs resolution. presented In hts absence
by Deputy Controller Lyon. was defeated by the
votes OF acting Mayor Jeroloman and city Cham-
berain Arson G. McCook, Deputy-Controller Lyon
voting in the affirmative.
The proceedings opened with a long speech py
General McCook. In which he criticised Controller
Fitch In the first place for wishing 1t to be UNDER
stood by the public that he was superior to the
other city officials in his regard for the pubic gooo
or its welfare and. In the second place because
Mr. Fitch had caused to be published copy Of the
letter he had addressed to the Mayor and the CITY
Chamberlain prior to their reception Of IT.. Genera
McCook said that this extremely discourte-
proceeding. He argued also that the city
Chamberlain has a legal right to designate the
chief depository for the city funds and that the
Bank Commission has no power In the premises
outside OF officially announcing the banks and de-
posi- tories generally which may be selected by the
Chamberlain In his discretion. General McCook SAID
that the Controller had either been misinformed or
had not studied the question thoroughly. Since 1915
the city had used the Importers and Traders Bank
as its chief depository, based upon the opinions or
all the former Controllers. from Laidlsw, in 1876
down TO the present day. Az to the value OF the
bank as a clearing house for the city. General Nc
Cook said that in 1894 cleared 3sOos warrants In
1895 g. 100 warrants, and thus far In 1896 lvS ana

If the Controller meant that the chief city de e,
postory should lend the city all the money II
needed then he Controller must study up, General
Me- ook SAID for In 1894 the city borrowed from OUT
side sources nearly 81 10000 and from the sinking
fun additional 100000 Nc bank could lend the
city all the money IL needed and make any other
invest ments and the rate of interest charged the
city no bank could thrive. Replying to the con,
trolers criticism OF the reform administration ana
its connection with the inability or the city TO sell

sense of bankers taught them better than to believe
in the Controllers homilies. The reason for the
failure would be conceded on all sides 10 De due 10

oWYHEE RAILRoAD.

The Statesman of July contained
the following:
Vice President John E. Stearns, of
the Boise, Nampa s. Owyhee railroad,
and Contractor J. j. Mcdonald came
over from Nampa last evening. The
object of Colonel Stearns' visit is to
close contract with Prosper AYelin
for $1,000 ties, a portion of which will
be delivered at Nampa at once. The
last installment will be delivered
within 80 days. These ties will take
the road to Snake river. 1t will re-
uuire about 10000 more to complete
the road to Bonneville.
Colonel Dewey is now in Pittsburg
contracting for rails and for the bridge
to cross Snake river. The bridge will
be one of the best ever constructed in
the state.
Contractor Mcdonald has % teams at
work at present, and the grade is COM
pleted for a distance of three miles out
of Nampa. The working force on the
grade will not be increased to exceed
rs teams until after the work train is
put on, owing to the heavy expense OF
hauling water by team beyond GER
tain distance. After the work train
is nut on as many teams as can be
worked handily will be added, 300 if
practicable.

ANNNAN,s MISTAKE.
Encounter. . color.d osu.l.msa Who /. Nc, %
70 Date.

A good many ST. Louis convention
stories have been going the rounds.
Here is one from the Chicago Record
on P. II. Lannan, the Idaho farmer and
Utah newspaper owner:
There was one colored man who sat
in the reception room of the national
committee at the Southern hotel this
afternoon who seemed to be laboring
under an especial weight. Around him
in tense aud silent or voluable excite
ment, as the case may be, were dozens
of other men and brothers, but not one
of these seemed to be laboring under as
much suppressed responsibility as this
man.
Pat Lannan the fat editor of Utah
approached him, and, thinking to share
his burdens with him, asked: "HOw
is your state on the silver question ?"
Dunno, sah," calmly.
Mr.. Lannan was electrified with sur
prise, but he recognized a chance to do
some missionary work for silver.
Il suppose you will hardly favor the
crude and inhuman wrong Of a gold
standard?" he said persusively.
Dunno sab; dunno muffin bout
dem things an don't give ="
why what state are you from"
Montana, sab.
Montana! Oh, suffering soul of Tom
Carter, what can this mean? Who else
is on the delegation with you?
Il amt on no fool delegation. Use
Govenah Botkin's man, and Use beer
wonderin' as sOt here whuddah had
put two shirts in his grip or jes one
when we lef' Helena"
Mr.. Lannan went away to bat hil
head against something hard, the arch
way of bridge preferred.

ST. DAvuD's CHURCH.
The Corner Stone Laid Yesterday BY Bishop

The corner stone of st. David's
church was laid yesterday afternoon by
the Rt. Rev. Elthelbert Talbot, bishop
of Wyoming and Idaho.
Among the clergymen present from
surrounding towns were Rev. ]. Nc
Pherson of Mountainhome, A. o.
Worthing Of Payette, W. e. Webb of
Weiser and Chas. E. Deuel. of Boise.
The ceremony of laying the corner
stone was inspiring and impressive,
and was witnessed by a large and inter
esting congregation. The choir rend-
cred for the occasion Jackson's TIE

There was deposited in the corner
stone a copy of THE TRIBUNE, Record,

EQUAL SUFFRAGE LEcrvRg.
"'f'' johns Address . large and Ensbu,ia,,is
!" disnes-Tho Work Is Progressing.

Mrs L. NJ. Johns addressed a large
and intelligent audience in the Baptist
church last Monday evening. Her
remarks were listened to with profound
interest and made a deep impression
she addressed herself particularly to
unjust laws effecting women's rights Of
property and argued that these laws
could not be connected until woman
possessed the voting privilege. She re.
Ierred to the enfranchisement of Nez
Perce Indians and thought that women
were as much entitled to privileges Of
citizenship as those savages. The work
throughout the state, she said, was
progressing quite satisfactorily al.
though the organization was not per.
tected and enthusiasm was not vet
highly wrought. Mrs. Johns is n
pleasing and convincing speaker,
makes good appearance on the stump
and evidently is a refined and cultured
lady. She has given the Equal Suffrage
movement considerable impetus in this
city.

FIRE BOYS EPISODE.

There seems to be fun among the fire
boys but they are all pledged to secrecy
and consequently very reticent. 1t is
understood that somewhat pro-
traeted meeting was held last Wednes-
day night to consider what looks
like question of malfeasance.
Some of the boys think that II. b.
Jones, who was treasurer some years
ago, is a defaulter to the extent of SIS
or SIG. Mr.. Jones denies the allega-
ton, claiming that the balance due
from him is only 50 or So, which he is
prepared to pay on demand. The man
who was secretary during the time that
Mr.. Jones was at the head of the ex-
chequer, has skipped the country, leav-
ing his affairs, personal as we'll as Off
cial, in a somewhat unsatisfactory con-
dition which raises the superstition
that he in fact is the culprit. 1t is pos
sibIe that flavor of politics has been
injected into the affair as a few of the
members of the company are supposed
to be candidates for the marshalship.
The matter will be no doubt amicably
settled and probably Mr.. Jones fully
exonerated. 1t is not regarded as of
sufficient Importance to create seri Gus
trouble,

A Thankful Girl.
FFom the Brdntner, san FTanctsoO, cal.

From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal.
Miss Lottie Donell lives with her parents
at 702 Natoma Street, San Francisco. She
is a young lady nineteen years of age, and Of
prepossessing appearance. Ever since she
was ten wears old Miss Donell has been a
sufferer from o rheumatic affection of the
wrist, and since she was thirteen years Of
age she has been subject to various female
weaknesses which have kept her physical
vitality at a very low stage. Thus, as she
says, she has been victim of disease ever
since she can remember. When she was
a little girl at school she was always placed
at a disadvantage with her playmates on ac-
count of her frailty of body and timidity of
manner. She could never join in any of the
more boisterous games, although she always
lOnged to do so.
But the embarrassing conditions of Miss
DonelPs life have all been eliminated with.
in the past year, and the change is wholly
due to the effective work of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
ut must be remembered" said Miss
Donell in telling of the great relief that DR..
Williams Pills had afforded her, "that at
the time l began taking the pills had been
for years a confirmed invalid. My wrist was
swollen out of all proportion by the chronic
rheumatism that had long since settled in it.
The female complaints from which had so
long suffered had wasted my body away until
! was but mere shadow Of my former self
and / had really come to think that the
brightness and happiness of life was not
meant for me. had not the energy to per-
form even the most simple of my household
duties, and, in word / was completely run
down. / began to take DIR. Williams Pills
while / was i'll this condition and before I
had taken half box of them realized that
they were doing me good. l began TO feel
lively again and to lose the lax feeling in
my limbs / felt so happy over the momen-
tary relief that had been afforded me that
resolved to continue taking the pills. After
taking several more boxes / was more than
convinced of the high merits Of the pills. for
was then wholly relieved from the rheu-
matte pains in my wrist and had so far re-
gained my vitality of body that / really
| believed had never experienced the ener-
waiting effects of those wasting diseases which
are so peculiar to women. It is a very great
pleasure to me to be able to tell my young
| lady friends of the relief that has been af-
forded me by DR.. Williams Pills and / will
surely continue to recommend their use to
all who are afflicted with the complaints
from which / suffered"

If you notice any of these symptoms lose no
time in procuring DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They will assist the patient to develop prop
