which is very expensive and upon which
the duties are large-have been pro-

Tor the purpose of evading duty the
manufacturers have of late resorted to
a method of wrapping the drug in It's

STIRRED UP THE IDAHO PIONEERS
Governor Mcconnell ScoIded the So

Governor MCDONNELL ScoIded the So
ctety for Its Lack OF Interest,".
Boise, Jan. 31.-Governor Mcconnell
today sent Letter to Jonas w. Brown.
secretary of the Society of Idaho Pho
neers, stirring up that organization for
its failure to act. Some years ago the
legislature made a permanent appro-
priation of $3.50 year for the use of this
society, but the money has been per-
mitted to lie in the bank after being
drawn. Governor McConnelPs letter
says in part:
Il write to ask If you will call a legal
meeting of the Historical Society of
Idaho Pioneers for the purpose of elect
ing officers as prescribed by your con-
stitution and bylaws and taking such
steps as may be necessary to preserve
the data already paid for by your So
ciety and now in the hands of w. A.
Colder and C. C. Stevenson; also to
provide for the proper expenditure of
the money now in the hands of your
treasurer, T,2S6.30. this money having
been lying idle in the bank for eight or
nine years. If the members of your or
ganization will transfer their stock to
the ladies of this city, l am more than
convinced from my observation of their
efforts in conducting other affairs that
they will take hold of it in a business
like manner, and it will never be
charged in the future that the money
appropriated for this purpose has been
either squandered or allowed to lie idle
in a bank"
As result of the foregoing a meeting
of the society has been called for the
18th.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-The national
board of trade at the closing session to-
day, by unanimous vote. directed the

1.-THE National Board of Trade of the

to the Associated Chambers of Com
merce of Great Britain, reciprocating
all the friendly sentiments uttered by
the English commercial bodies, and ex-
presses an earnest wish that commerce
and religion, representing the great
progressive and clvilizing forces OF the
world may honorably avert a collision
between English speaking nations who,
more than any other, represent the SEN
timent, Peace on earth. good will to
man."
The committee on railroad transporta-
ton made report. which was approved
by the national board, deprecating all
movements looking to government own
ership of railway lines. but strenuously
advocating wise, firm and continuous
supervision over the operation am
management of these great agencies in
all matters affecting their relations
with the public In the conduct of inter
state commerce.
1t was also resolved that the bonded
indebtedness of the Pacific railroads to
the government should be extended on
the best terms practicable, and the
passage of the Smith house bill No.
S459, now pending in congress, was rec
commended.

JENKINS MEN WILL STAY
Supreme Justices Decide That
He Has Jurisdiction.
OVER THE N. P, RECElVERSHlPS
Opinion That for the Sake of Harmony
the Wisconsin Order Should
Have Precedence.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Justices Field
Harlan, Brewer and Brown of the su-
preme court today rendered decision
in the Northern Pacific receivership
case that holds all courts along the line
of the road to be auxiliary to Judge
Jenkins court at Milwaukee. This de-
cision gives the Milwaukee court juris-
diction over the entire system in the
matter of receiverships.
1t was shown at this hearing that the
creditors bill and the foreclosure pro-
ceedings of 1898 had been filed in the
circuit court for the eastern district of
Wisconsin, over which Judge Jenkins
presides. 1t was also shown that this
court then appointed receivers for the
entire system, who were for the time
recognized. Afterwards, however, the
circuit court for other districts appoint
ed receivers for portions of the road en-
braced within their respective jurisdic-
lions, and such confusion and antagon-
Ism arose that it was feared the inter-
ests of the road would be seriously jeop-
ardized.
Exception was taken to the jurisdlc-
ton of the Milwaukee court on the
ground that the Northern Pacific had
no road, except leased line, within the
limits of the eastern district of Wiscon-
sin. This was substantially the only
objection made to its recognition, and it
was estimated that at the time OF the
nearing large majority of the inter-
ests involved would be satisfied with
the designation of the Milwaukee court
as a responsible tribunal and one by
which receiver or receivers for the en-
tire line should be designated.
