OFFICIAL FACTS.

On page Sas. Journal &C." Of the conn
" commissioners record the following
proceedings are entered;
a0n motion Of w. b. Dishman, Sec
onded By w. H. Gable. the following res.
olution was adopted:
whereas, there was an issue Of bonds
made by Kootenai county in 1891 10 the
amount Of about $4,000 without sub
hitting the question Of said bond Issue
to . vote Of the people. and
"Whereas. the supreme court Of Idaho
has decided in similar case that such
bond issue is Illegal null and void, and
"Whereas. We deem it unjust and un-
lawful to pay interest out OF the county
treasury upon such unlawful issue Of
bonds. now, therefore. be il
Resolved, that the county treasurer
Of Kootenai county be instructed not to
pay any further interest on such indebl-
edness until il can DO determined wheth.
er or not said bonded indebted 10 legal
and binding upon the county, and be Il
further
Resolved, that the district attorney
for the first judicial district OF the state
Of Idaho Be and is hereby instructed and
requested to institute suit or action to
speedily test the validity and legality OF
the bonded Indebtedness Of Kootenai
county above mentioned"
-Said resolution was adopted by the fol-
lowing vote: w, b. Dishman and w.
II. Cable voting in favor Of said resolu-
ton and Thomas J. Smith voting against
said resolution. Adopted April ., 1898. !"
Al the time these high handed pro-
eeedings were going on the Pass pro-
tested against the same. The district
attorney positively refused, Ms a public
official in duty bound to guard the inter
ests and honor Of the county, to take a
hand in the disreputable and dishonest
scheme. Public sentiment Was aRainst
1t. Thomas Smith, the one commits
sioner who has guarded the peoples in
ierests as best minority representative
could, opposed it, The majority Of the
board, one OF whom is now the Republi-
can nominee for sheriff, became fright
ened at the almost unanimous opposition
to their methods Of Reputation and the
matter was quietly dropped. Win the
people Of KoOtenai county vote the gold
standard ticket and endorse such dis
honest proceeding? But, the Republic
cans will say, Dishman is a Democrat
and equally responsible with Cable.
This may be true in n measure, but Bob
Bragaw, Republican county auditor and
candidate for state auditor, controlled the
majority Of the board. Almost every
vote Of the board shows Cable and Dish
man standing together. Democrats pro-
tested against Dishman's action, bot he
stood firmly by Bragaw and Cable.
These things are matters Of public record.
They are not the statement OF anv indi-
vidual, and a vote for the Republican
ticket is vote for a continuance OF such
methods. Vote the Union Silver ticket.

MARY A. WRIGHT.

As just and popular recognition OF
equal suffrage. the silver forces selected
Ms candidate for representative lady
of marked ability. Mrs. Wright has
long been recognized as one Of Kootenai
county's most successful teachers. Her
thorough knowledge of school Law will
enable her to materially assist in framing
come much needed school laws for Idaho.
She is not professional politician in any
sense Of the word. The nomination
came to her unsolicited, and it was only
after persistent argument that che cou-
sented to be candidate. Both she and
her husband are heavy taxpayers, and it
can be safely said that no better selec-
ton could he made by the silver forces
than Mrs. Wright for the responsible
position OF representative.

LOCAL LIQUOR LAW.
The Proposed Amendments Commend
ed by the w. C. T. U.

The District Commissioners have receiv-
ed letter from the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, through Mrs. Clinton
Smith. the superintendent Of the legisla-
tive department of that association, ex-
pressing their gratitude for the bill sub
mitted to Congress by the Commissioners
to remedy the defects of the local liquor
law. This letter. written before the diff
ference of opinion between the United
States district attorney and the attorney
for the District caused the recall Of the or
der prohibiting the sale of liquors to SOL
diers, and the Commissioners are informed
that the w. C. T. U. is also delighted with
their prompt action upon the discovery of
the cid law which prohibited the sale OF
irtoxicating liquors to soldiers.
1--WE wish respectfully to inquire" con-
t1rues Mrs Smith, iii you deem that old
law permanent, and If this seems to be
doubtful, would you be willing to add or
cause to be added a clause to your new
bill embodying the same?"
Replying to this letter of inquiry, the
Commissioners lave notified Mrs. Clinton
Smith that they acted under the advice of
cir attorney, but the United States dis
trIct attorney has taken a different view of
the present status of the law, and instruct
ed his assistants at the Police Court not to
attempt TO enforce it.

Final Touches to Preliminaries Of the
Educational Convention.
Two SUCCESSFUL COMMITTEES
Work of Those on Finance and
Halls and Meeting Places:
MANY RECEPTIONS PLANNED

AS the time for the National Educational
Association convention grows nearer the
gentlemen and ladies who have the ar
engagements for it in charge are kept hard
at work completing the innumerable details
which enter into the preliminaries of the
event. The various subcommittees are ac-
Cordingly holding frequent meetings and of
these the finance and the halls and meet
ing places committees are fortunate in hav-
ing about completed their important du-
ties. The finance committee. upon which
devolved the important responsibility of
raising the money necessary fer the proper
entertainment of the convention, is COM
posed as follows:
Thomas w Smith, chairman; S. W. Wood

Ellis w. Brown. j. g. Falck. Miss Lucy E.
Moten, Mrs. Mary c. Terrell, Colin Studds,
Charles E. Howe, C. S. Clark, Miss H. NJ.
Reynolds.
In the beginning of the movement to
bring the convention here the committee
found itself confronted with a singular dis
inclination on the part of the public to con-
tribute toward the object. This only served
to inspire redoubled efforts on the part of
Chairman Smith and his energetic associ-
ates, and as a result an amount sufficient
TO meet all the expenses of the convention
mas been already collected, and it is possi-
bic that small surplus will remain over
when all the bills are paid.
Success Covers Good Work.
The committee on halls and meeting
places also had grave responsibilities, its
duty being to secure appropriate spots for
the numerous gatherings to be held during
the convention. When it is realized that
no less than ten separate meetings of as
many departments of the association de-
voted to distinct and particular branches of
education are to be held each afternoon,
while two general sessions are to be held
each day, the work before the committee
can be estimated. The membership, how
ever was composed of just the people best
equipped for such purpose the list will
prove, and under the wise direction of
Superintendent of Public Schools William
b. Powell. completed it's labors with con-
summate judgment. The members who de-
serve so much credit are: Marcus Baker
c. S. Clark. w. H. Rapley, Stilson Hutch
ins. Miss Anna Tolman Smith, Rev. T. S.
Hamlin, d. D., Rev. Samuel H. Greene, D.

Rev. f. Bradford Leavitt and Rev. Lucien
Clark.
Halls and Meeting Places.
The places secured for the meetings are
as follows
Convention Hall for the opening and clos
Ing sessions, July I and II, respectively;
Grand Opera House and the New National
Iheater for general sessions; Columbian n

ADVERSE ACTION.
DisapprovaI of Legislation Respect

DisapprovaI of Legislation Respect
Ing Outstanding Claims.
The District Commissioners have recon-
mended to the chairmen of the two District
committees adverse action on the bill to
amend the "act to provide for the settle
ment of all outstanding claims against the
District of Columbia and comforting jul
risdiction on the Court of Claims to hear
the same, as approved June Is, 1880.
The Commissioners say that, in their
opinion, the bill involves principle which
has been agtated so frequently, and has
been decided adversely so pointedly in the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
by Congress itself regarding contract rates
and board rates, that they have no hesi-
fancy in reporting the bill back adversely.

at length the Objectionable features of the
bill, as well as interesting history of
earlier actions touching the principle in

Commissioners say they feel it not neces-
sary to add anything excepting a formal
recommendation against it's enactment.
