Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1897-06-16

1t appears that the BULLETIN, gin
its own little way" last week was
in error when it it said there were
three candidates in the field for
school trustees, the names of whom
were put forward without their con-
sent or desire" We have arrived
at this conclusion because the gold
bug Republican organ, in its loud
wall Of defeat last Friday, said:
The name Of Frank p AXE had been announced
through the columns Of the Republican and was gen
orally talked OF previous to the election, and Mr.
AXE had stated that he would accept the position il
elected.
We desired only to let Mr.. AXE
down "easy," and included him
with Messrs. Dorsey and Reynolds,
but his ardent supporters won't
have it that way, but insist that
Frank wanted the office and wanted
it bad-which we do not believe,
Evidently the gold-bug "twisters"
are badly hurt and deeply cha
grinned at the fact that there little
scheme did not work. They may
deceive and fool some people some
times-as they did at the independ-
ent school election-but they can't
fool 'em at all times. No one doubts
that Mr.. AXE is a conservative man
and that he is a good, moral, intel
ligent gentleman, but he opposed
the best interests of the school
when he worked with the little gold
bug clique to defeat the independ-
ent school district measure, and
the people having got their eyes
opened and seeing Frank in bad
company they gently reminded
him of the fact. This and nothing
more. Now let our people who have
the good of our town and school al
heart see that certificates of election
are issued to Dorsey and Reynolds
whom they honored SO highly or
the 7th instant, and all may ye'
go we'll with an institution that hat
heretofore been the pride of ou
town

FEARS A CRISIS IN TURKEY.
Olney Apprehensive OF War That VIII

Olney Apprehensive of a War That VIII
ObIiterate the Empire.
Washington, Dec. 29.-Secretary Oh
ney is apprehensive of an early crisis
In the situation in Turkey. President
Cleveland in his annual message init
mated that the three European powers
who are waiting for the sultan to ac-
cept the programme they had outlined
and which was formally submitted to
the porte by the Russian ambassador
some time ago. are getting ready for
combined action.
The policy of the state department in
such an emergency will be one Of neu-
trality, but an American fleet will be
on hand subject to the orders Of Min
lister Terrell to guard the interests OF
American missionaries. Nothing has
been heard from Ambassador Bayard
concerning the prospects of an early
movement Of European powers to en-
force the sultans compliance with their
demands, but the state department
claims to have information from other
reliable sources that action is likely to
be taken at any time and the result. 1t
is believed, will be serious war that
will sweep away the last vestige OF the
sultan's rule and probably cause the
dissolution of the Turkish government
rs distinct power.

khedtve.

Constantinople, Dec: 29.-The Rus.
sian ambassador Saturday, acting in
concert with the representatives of
Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany
and Austria, had an audience of the
sultan, Abdul Hamid, one OF many
such interviews which have taken place
within the last year on the same sub
ject-that of better administration
of the affairs of the Turkish empire.
The Russian diplomat began by
warning the sultan and the Turkish
government that if the revenues ceded
for the payments of the Turkish debt
were touched the European control OF
the finances of the empire would be-
come inevitable.
M. de Nelidoff, the Russian ambassa-
dor, further informed the sultan that
the car guaranteed his personal safety
and engaged himself to maintain the
sultan's supremacy in the event OF Sc
we're measures being necessary upon
the part of the powers.
The sultan, however, remained OBJ
durate, refusing his consent to any
measure Of control. financial or other
wise, by the powers. To this the Rus
sian ambassador replied that the con-
dition of the Turkish empire placed the
throne and the caliphate in imminent
peril. Thereupon Abdul Hamid re-
marked, impressively: Il may be the
last Of the caliphs. but l will never be-
come a second khedive."

Bank OF Superior Goes Under.

West Superior, Wis, Dec. 29.-The
Bank of Superior, doing business at the
east end, suspended Monday on account
of run with which it was threatened
after the recent failures. The bank
had $4,000 capital and $4,000 surplus,
which was largely tied up in invest
ments. The big proportional deposit Of
about 100000 was constant menace
and slight run was experienced Satur-
day, which influenced the closing of the
institution. The deposits are mostly in
small amounts and the bank expects
10 be able to liquidate in full unless
there is continual decline in assets.
The city of Superior had 1920 in
the bank, making nearly 100000 lost by
the city during the last week.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 29.-Populist lead
ers propose to make a strong effort to
secure the repeal Of the law to maintain

For this reason the state guard is con-

in the famous Santa Fee railway re-

appointed receiver for the property,
does not apply to railroads. The de-
cision is complete victory for the
Santa Fe company. The other ques-

both sides were not passed upon Judge
Myers holding that this point alone was
sufficient to end the litigation. The at
torneys for the plaintiff will take steps
at once to carry the case to the Kansas
