"Attention Taxpayers."

There is too much to the charge made
by the TELLER, that the county was
robbed by the act Of accepting the bid
of the Tribune over that Of the TELLER
for the county printing, to be degraded
into personal quarrel. The law and
the facts are convincing proof that
something is rOtton. No condition will
Justify the violation of law by the OH.
Ger elected to execute them. On this
point i. may be said that In the print
ing of the Commissioners proceedings
alone, the excess of the Tribune bid
oyer the TELLER bid will be more than
the cost Of all the county printing
would have been, under the provisions
"f the TELLER. The truth Of this cam
not be denied. Our position, therefore.
that the taxpayers are being rubbed by
the Tribune, is established. This, how
ever, is not a personal controversy. 1t
is referred to the taxpayers.
Mr.. Tannahill will not make the as
sertion, in the face of facts in his pos
session, that the contract for the coun-
ty printing was awarded on the merits
of the bids. There is evidence aside
from assertions to that effect, which
are above any personal controversy.
First, the fact ramains that the TELLER
bid was the lowest and best hid; and
again, 1t is plain that the fact was 80
apparent that the TELLER bid was ex-
plunged from the record of the Com.
missIoners proceedings, to keep the
public in ignorance Of the facts.
The TELLER only complains of dis.
regard OF legal rights in the considera.
ton OF question that concerns the
public. The Tribune will please not
place set phrases Of slang and epithets
in quotation marks, as though they
had been used in these columns. All
the better classes of citizens in the
county read the TELLER. They have
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1897-01-28

read 1t during the rise and fall Of the
Tribune and other contempories, and
could not be deceived. At the same
time a plea for higher order Of jour-
nalism Is here in order. Another mat
ter might be thrown in here. The
TELLER has the best equipped Office In
North Idaho, and not only turns out
the best paper, with the largest circU-
lation, but the best printers in the state
engaged in the Job department.

Lewiston presents a striking example
Of human perversity. A man in the
possession of ordinary physical and
mental faculties walks about the streets
these cold days with thin ragged
clothes that do not even conceal his
nakedness. He is n young man of
some intelligence and works at odd
jobs sufficiently to earn Il comfortable
living; but he endures both cold and
hunger from pure perversness of ma
ture. He has camped all winter in AL
expnsed point by the river with no
shelter but All ola quilt and u scrap Of
canvass about as big AS horse blanket.
1t is said that he boards his meager
earnings and endures the hardships
rather than pay out his savings.
1t is reported that Ignorance of the
presence and the nature of the San
Jose scale is scattering this pest broad
cast over Washington State and no
doubt it is coming into Idaho on nur-
sery stock from the same localities.

A Spoilt Child.

Eddie Akin, a thirteen year old boy,
the son OF widow living near Genesee,
was arraigned Saturday before Judge
StoOkey charged with an assault upon
an elder brother with u gun. The
Judge discharged the incorrigible 1t
seems that the family did not press the
case against the child after entering
the complaint. This boy has been
schoOled in the worst of surroundings,
without discipline or the exercise of
parental authority till he is the worst
of spoiled boys. He rules the house.
hold. His whole soul is bent upon
acquiring pocket money for his own
use by extorting contributions from
members of the family. He demands
that his mother shall sell the family
homestead to supply his needs and
tells her he will burn the buildings If
she does not He has burnt nearly all
the clothing and broken all the dishes
belonging to the family Oh different
occasions. He brooks any authority,
even threatening vengeance and even
lies in wait with gun to fulfill his
threats. 1t is the desire of the mother
to send him to some reform school
which cannot be done as there is no
such institution In this state. He goes
forth free encouraged with victory to
execute old threats and to devise other
dlabOlical means to to rture his mother
and sisters.
On Tuesday the Salvation Army
took charge of this boy. This is an
opportunity to divert All excess of ell
ergy from harmful to useful channels.

SENTENCED FOR LIFE
VERDICT OF JURY IN THE
ARCABRICHT CASE
Result ~ the Second Trial More Disas-
trous than the rirst-The Jury -Four
Hours In Making Up Its Verdict OF
Murder In the First Degree.

The case of the state VS.. j. W. hrga-
bright at Auburn was given TO the jury
Tuesday night. and after being out
four hours the jury brought in a YER
dict Of murder in the first degree and
fixed the punishment at imprisonment
for life.
The frst trial of the case occurred
two years ago, and resulted in a YER
dict Of ~manslaughter and ten years i'm
prisonment.
There is much sympathy for the fam
lily of Argabright. who are excellent
people. NHe married a daughter Of
William Smelzer, living near NemAhs
City. During 1903 Argsbright and his
wife had numerous quarrels, which
eliminated in ncr returning to her
parents home, taking her two children
with him.
Argabright went to Smelzcrs and un-
dcrtook to persuade his wife to return
with him. but she refused. A school
exhibition vas held in the Smelzer
district, which the Argabrights and
the Smelzers attended. Mrs. Arga-
bright was there with her two children
