Another Law Knocked Out.

Another law that formed part
OF the statutes of Idaho was put to
sleep by Judge Stewart in the dis
trict court at Boise City The act
providing for the assessment and
collection Of taxes on live stock has
gone to join tho fee bill. In the
case of William Howell against the
board of county commissioners of
Ada county the court gave decis-
ion for the defendants by holding
the law under which the action was
brought unconstitutional.
The legislative act provided for
the assessment and collection of
taxes upon live stock moved from
one county to another to be made
pro rata in proportion to the length
of time the stock was kept i'll each
county,
A band Of sheep belonging to Mr..
Howell, the plaintiff, was assessed
for the entire year in Ada county
and the taxes for the full time paid
upon them there. The flock was in
Boise county two and thirds
months and the plaintiff was also
obliged to pay the pro rata tax III
that county, which amounted to
sos. A rebate of this amount was
denied and an appeal was taken to
district court and was submitted
Monday,
Defendants contention was that
the law was unconstitutional and
that the full amount of taxes was
pryable to Ada county in accord
ance with the assessment made
there. In deciding the case Judge
Stewart simply affirmed the CON
tention of the county commission
ers and held the law void for the
reason it had not properly passed
the legislature.-Double Standard.

UMBRELLAS OF TODAY.
Formerly all Made Of Silk or Cotton Many
Now Made Of Mixed Fabrics.

Formerly umbrellas were made of eth
er cotton or silk. Now IA very large pro-
portion of the umbrellas carried are
made of mixture of cotton and silk.
The mixtures are made in various
weights and Weaves and in various COM
binations of the materials. Some are
half cotton and half silk, and some con-
tain as little as 10 per cent of silk. The
umbrellas made of these mixtures cost
more than cotton umbrellas and less
than those of silk. They are lighter than
cotton and they wear better and look bet
ter. Those made of the finer qualities of
the mixtures may very easily be mis-
taken for silk.
Of all the umbrellas produced In this
country about so per cent are now made
of cotton. and about 40 per cent of the
The proportion of umbrellas made of the
mixed fabrics is still increasing. All the
cotton fabrics used in making umbrellas
in this country arc manufactured here.
The mixed fabrics are all imported and
of the silks about half are imported.
Umbrella silks are made in many
weights and weaves. Years ago silk um-
were not uncommon, but now umbrellas
of such cOlOrs are rarely if ever seen.
The most common color for umbrellas is
black, though there are made for women
some silk umbrellas. designed for either
sun or rain of changeable silk and some
of plaid silk.
There were formerly made fine silk UNI
brellas with a greater. number of ribs
than those now carried. The extra ribs
have now been dropped to get rid of the
weight. American umbrellas OF what
ever material or quality are the lghtest
made in the world as they are likewise
in every way the sghtliest.

ling that it is believed that the mys-
terry is about to be solved.
1t was the general belief. last night
that the Identification of the woman
would never be known. and. today. not
only is the woman positively identified
to the satisfaction of the police. but the
young man VINO is the alleged accom-
pllce i'm the case is under arrest.

The identification. that thoroughly
satisfied the police that they had at
last reached the solution of the mys-
terry, was made, this afternoon. by a
brother of the murdered girl, and in
speaking of the matter. Supt. Birming-
ham said:
mo further proof of the identified
ton should be required than glance
al the brothers face. Every feature
which is prominent in the face of the
Gead woman is duplicated in the fea-
torres of the brother"
Furthermore, Supt. Birmingham had
all along maintained that the dead
l.ody was that of country girl, and
