No End in Sight From the Devastating
Effects of the Fee Bill Decision.
IDAHO GAMBLERS ARE HAPPY.
Games Opening Up-Penitentisry Doors to
be Assailed.

The fears stated by the SIGNAL at
the time of the rendering of the Fee
Bill decision are apparently coming
to pass and long line of endless
litigation is in sight for the people
of the state
The Boise Statesman states that
another law on the statue books has
been declared unconstitutional by the
district court under the rulings of the
supreme court in the fee bill case.
This time it is the law passed in 1895
regulating appeals from the board OF
county commissioners. The States
man says:
This point was raised yesterday when
the appeal in the St. Alphonsus hospital
taxation case came up for hearing
District Attorney Hays filed a certified
copy of the law showing that it had been
passed irregularly and the judge, after
examining it, pronounced the law uncon-
stitutional.
The right of appeal now reverts to the
old law which provides that II bond must
be given in the sum OF $500 before an ap-
peal can be taken and that the case may
be heard in open court the same AS other
cuses. This WAS the point argued, Il. j.
Jones, rs attorney for the hospital, claim
ing that this requirement had been full
| filed. The matter was taken under ad-
visement by the judge.
The gambling law, which was sus-
tained by the court on the first test
case, has been taken before that aug
ust tribunal once more and declared
to be invalid because the journals do
not show certain things regarding its
passage. 1t is reported that games
are starting up all over the state.
Canyon and Ada counties are hav-
ing legal differences over funds, and
Ada, to outHank Canyon, has at
tackled the validity of the act pro
viding for the creation Of Canyon
county, on the same lines as govern
The lee bill decision.
1t is also stated that the law pro
viding for trial by information with
out grand jury indictment) is oper
to the same technical bludgeon ant
that it will be smashed, in order t.
liberate convicts who are in the pen
itentiary sent there under that pro
cess. 1t is believed that habaes cor
pus proceedings will soon be com
menced in the interest of certain in
carcerated parties.
No one can tell where this thin,
is going to end.

and newsy and filed with evidences
OF home enterprise aud support, it is
pretty safe to say that such CON-
munity is wide awake, intelligent and
progressive. If, on the other hand,
the home paper is shabby in appear
ance, poorly patronized, and clearly
shows that it is having hard strug-
gle for existence, it is pretty safe to
infer, as rule, that that town is
neither over -burdened with business,
nor intlligence, nor enterprise. In
other words, such a place is pretty
apt to be sized up by shrewd OBJ
server as a good place to keep away
from. 1t is worth while then to see
that the town newspaper is encour-
aged to do its level best, and the way
to show this appreciation is to rally
to its support at all times and stand
solidly back Of it, and when its col
umns are engaged, either in defend
ing righteous cause, or in promot-
ing the interests of the community
where published. A live, progress
i've, representative newspaper is al
ways credit to town, and it's sur
roundings, and is one of the most
potent factors in local development.
Therefore, it merits and should re.
ceive strong and generous support.

Hooked q Sturgeon.

Lewiston Tribune.
"Toledo" Smith, who is one OF the
keepers of the government scows at
this place, had a sad experience We'd
nesday, while trying to capture a
monster sturgeon in Snake river. The
fish which was ten feet long was
hooked on "trout line" Smith WAS
engaged in an effort to land it and
was gradually drawing it in. The
fish revived and began anew the des-
perate fight for life. 1t turned di-
rectly away from the boat and surged
like whale on the line, which was
drawn through Mr.. Smiths hands
till one Of the string of hooks Gu the
line caught in the flesh of the mans
arm. The barbed hook went through
the arm and dragged man and boat
out into the river with the hook in
the lacerated flesh. The unfortunate
man was finally relieved by cutting
the line. He was brought to DR..
Phillips Office with the big hook
thrust through the arm, which was
lacerared badly by the violent fight
of the fish After the hook was re-
moved it was found that an artery
had been torn asunder, which had IL
be taken up and tied. This is an in
stance of fish catching the man.

THE KLONDYKE LYRE.
New Notes About Nuggets. Gold Dust
and Gold-Plated Floors.


up with news from the wild. goose
land, here is q good take-off on the
stories coming from the Klondyke.
These are supposed to be local notes
from the Klondyke Lyre, a paper
printed in that region:
Our esteemed townsman, Bud
Gravel, placed upon our desk yester
day handsomely shaped nugget. 1t
weighed 81 pounds. We have cred
tied him with three months subscrip
ton to the Lyre. We are pleased to
see that Mr. Gravel is doing well.
He is one of the syndicate who ex-
pect to buy quart of whiskey on
Saturday night.
The high wind yesterday raised
considerable dust. Jake Luckenbill,
who was out of the Ell Dorado with
his team, says lie was nearly blinded
by it, When he came home he
coughed up $37 SO. One of our
greatest needs is street sprinkling.
Duwson Pettibone has finished his
new we'll in the rear of his kitchen.
1t now has l l feet of ice water in it
and he washed out $85, 600 from the
dirt taken out.
The Widow Larkin met with mis-.
fortune Yesterday which will, we are
sure, call forth the sympathy of the
public. During the heavy rain storm
in the afternoon regular torrent
rushed down the gully back of her
house and washed so much gold in
her pigsty that the pig was smoth-

When Ike Sigman, the esteemed
proprietor of the Big Strike Saloon,
was fishing in the river yesterday his
boat struck a snag; it proved to be a
600. pound nugget. He will have it
taken out and will use it RS horse
block in front of his place. Ike is
always bound to have the best that
is going. "
Large numbers of cat fish are seer
floating in the river every day. Wher
examined it is found that every one
of them has from five to six ounces
of gold dust in its stomach. The care
lessness in allowing loose gold to es

Most orshipful A. r. Courtney who
has filed that office for the past year
with great satisfaction to the fraternity
and credit to himself, will decline re-

ney have strongly urged him to serve

Of his professional duties to be such
that he cannot, in justice to his business
interests afford TO fill the office longer.
The next officer in line Of promotion
is Judge II. T. w. Duke. Jr., of Char
lottesviIle, the present Deputy Grand
Master. Judge Duke is eminently quail
fed for the position Of Grand Master,
and will undoubtedly be advanced.

Grand Junior Deacon. Many prominent
Masons are spoken of for this position,

Another matter of great interest 10
the fraternity is the celebration Of the

George Washington, December, 1899,
which was proposed some two years ago
by the Grand Lodge of Colorado, with

QUEEN MARY AND KNOX.
A Fine Musical Spectacular Illus
trnting Scottish Reformation.

Richmond is to be treated to an in
teresting entertainment at the Mozart
Academy on Thursday and Friday eve
nings. December 9th and 10th. when the
Scottish Reformation; or, John Knox
VS.. Mary Stuart" will be presented with
an elaboration of detail rarely equalled
by home talent.
The production will be given under
the auspices of the Parsonage Society
Of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church,
of which Mrs. c. Il. Walford is the
president and the management Of the
entertainment has been undertaken by
Mrs. II. +. Monroe, of Philadelphia. the
originator of the Luther entertainment,
which was presented here so success
fully last February.
Mrs Monroe's endeavor is to repro
duce. as far as possible the scenes and
spirit of the times in which John Knox
and Mary Stuart lived. This is accom-
plished through the medium of oral de-
scription and comment, tableaux wants,
dialogues. stereopticon views, and appro-
pirate choral and instrumental music.
About 200 persons of the city viii repre-
sent the leading characters and events
Of the period in sixteenth century cos
tunes. The features will be two beau
tiful triumphal marches, the famous
court scene, which is an interview be-
tween John Knox and Mary Stuart;
Mary on the way to execution; and Purl-
tans and students on their way TO Leith
to meet the queen.
The lectures and views preserve the
continuity of the story. which is thread
ed with an occasional CLEAN of humor.
Mrs. Monroe's entertainments have
made a marvellous record. They have
attracted many thousands in the great
cities. because they are so thoroughly
unique and afford one of the best posi-
HE means of instruction and enjoyment.
The box-office sale will commence next
Tuesday week.
