DUBOIS MEN UNSEATED.

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 1.-THE lower
house of the legislature today unseated
two Dubois members from Bingham
county The Democrats voted for their
retention. The ground upon which this
was done was the alleged irregularity
in printing the names of the candidates
on the ballots. This point had been de-
cided by the supreme court in opposi-
ton to the stand taken by the house.
A singular fact is that the governor and
several other state officers had their
names on the two tickets and the same
conditions prevailed on other county
tickets. It Is claimed by Dubois friends
that today's action will react In his IA
