The case of the state against
Custer county was argued on the
demurrer in the district court at
Boise Wednesday. The case is one
in which the state has brought suit
against Custer county for the rel
covery Of $4400 taxes due the state
This claim is for money due from
the county for 1896 taxes. The
county had the money on deposit
in the Bunting bank at the time Of
the failure. A portion Of this
amount is alleged to be due on ac-
count of the university and state
wagon road taxes collected in Gus
ter county, and to these particular
causes Of action the defendant de-
mnrs.
w. E. Borah, attorney for Custer
county, made the argument that
the state wagon road and universe
ty tax was a rercentum tax and
was therefore not an obligation
against the county. The law, ne
stated, provided for the collection
Of this tax just as other state taxes
are collected and it was not the
function of the county government
to authorize or interfere or in any
way become responsible for such
collection. He contended that it
was solely within the province of
| the county treasurer aud assessor,
as the agents Of the state under the
statutes, to collect the university
and state wagon road taxes and pay
them into the state treasury and
that the liability rested upon these
officers and not upon the county.
james II. Hawley, attorney for
the state, claimed that under the
the constitution the state taxes OF
all kinds must be paid intact into
the state treasury; that the law of
1895, providing for certain stated
sum to be fixed by tie state board Of
equalization as due from the sever
al counties, made such sum a debt
due from the county irrespective of
the collection by the county of-
ficials; that the state wagon road
tax and university tax were in the
same condition practically as the
state tax proper, in that the law
fixing such taxes made them coll
leetable az other state taxes; and
That the amount Of taxes being
fixed by the state, there was no
discretionary power in the county
boards, and therefore no reason for
presenting them for allowance.
He said the statutes not only did
not contemplate such presentation
but actually forbade it. Since state
hood there had been no fund in the
county treasures known as the
state fund, but that all state mon
les coming into the hands Of county
officials were simply debts due ths
state from the county, and that the
county officers, intrusted with AZ
handling Of the state funds, should
in case Of default in the payment
Of such monies, BE nroeeeslea
MISUNDERSTANDING.

TOR ExAMiNER;-During the past
year the editor Of the Post has had
a great deal to say through the coll
umns Of that paper concerning the
amount Of fees received by the
sheriff of this county, evidently for
the purpose Of misleading the peo-
pie, because he knew at the time
he published those editorials that
they were false. In the issue Of
Oct. 10TH, Of that paper he says;

ers; that he have authority to enforce
decisions made by him on appeal from
county superintendent; that he have
authority in all other matters necessary
to the full exercise of the functions of
his Office, and that the state legislature
be earnestly requested to make sufficient
appropriations for the proper perform
ance Of all the clerical work of his Office.

quired to call the trustees Of their res
pective counties together at stated times

A New Obstacle.

The old obstacles that used to prevent
the marriage of loving couples are out of
date. The blood and d-thunder william is a
myth nowadays. The cruel father is only
a tradition. Distance, absence and ship
wreck in these days Of cheap, safe and
swift transportation do not count The
new obstacle Is a common sense one. It
is ill.health on one side or the other, and
sometimes on both.
Men nowadays hesitate to marry a wom-
an, no matter how beautiful, no matter how
attractive, or interesting, or witty, if she is
a sufferer from ill-health. All men worth
having desire happy, healthy children.
ANY woman who will, may fit herself for
the duties of wifehood and the exalted func-
ton of motherhood. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription banishes all hindrance in the
nature Of local ill.health. 1t gives health,
power and capacity to the delicate and i'm
portant organs concerned in wifehood and
maternity. 1t corrects all displacements,
sllays Inflammation, heals liberation, stops

It makes maternity easy and safe and al.

Washington is just now the scene OF
some Central American diplomacy, in
which this country's interests in the
Nicaragua Canal is one Of principal fac.
tors. President Iglesias. of Costa Rica,
is in Washington as guest of the Uoi-
ted States government. He has had
talks with President Mckinley, Secre-
tary Hay and other prominent officials,
and the President has given state din
ner in his honor. He claims that no
concession to build the Nicaragua Canal
is worth the paper it is written on until
o. KID. by Costa Rica, promises that
Costa Rica shall act in accordance with
the wishes of this government. An
other prominent Central American, who
is 10 Washington as private indlvld-
ual, paying his own hotel bills, is Mr..
]. D. Gamez, ex President of the Con-
gres. of Nicaragua, and candidate for
the Presidency of the United States of
Central America, if that combination
holds together long enough to have q
President. Mr.. Gamez has had talk
with President McKinley,ln which mat
ters relating to the Nicaragua canal,
were mentioned, but the object Of the
visitor was to gain, not to give informa-
ton. The idea has gone abroad that
this government is likely to undertake
tho construction Of the Nicaragua canal
in the near future, and numerous indi-
viduals banker after some of Uncle
Sans money. A New York firm heads
a syndicate, which claims to have OBJ
tanned new concession, which it would
probably gladly sell; the old company
that stopped work because its money
gave out. claims that its original con-
cession still holds good. and representa-.
tives of the Central American republics
are likely to claim anything that they
suppose might bring them benefit. Un'
Gle Sam won t have any difficulty in get
ting all these claims waived, if he is will
ing to put up the price. The Panama
Canal Company is also represented at
Washington for the purpose of trying

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON. Nov. %, 1898.
1t is all over now, except the Spanish
weeping and waillng. That ultimatum,
with time limit attachment, did the
business. Spain has accepted our terms
of peace and agreed to give up the Phil
ippines and accept the money offered As
a salve to it's wounded honor There
are number Of details such as provid-
ing for restoration of commercial re-
lations between the United States and
Spain, which will delay for few days
the completion and signing of the trea.
ty, but the principal work Of the Peace
Commission has been accomplished, and
Spain, and the rest of the world, has
been shown that when the United States
adopts position, it maintains it.regard-
less of semi. hostile attitudes taken by
other nations. Neither American dip.
lomacy nor American fighting are like.
ly to be sneered at in any section Of the
world for many years to come. The
United States has acquired prestige
among the great nations of the world
that will make unborn generations of
Americana proud to belong to the ma
tion that has proved its right to be
counted among the leaders, both in the
accomplishments of peace and of war.
Many of the most careful observers of
Senatorial sentiment are predicting that
the anti-expansionists will be strong
enough in talk, if not in votes, to pre-
vent the ratification of the treaty OF
peace at the coming session of the Sen
ate. While more than oae. third of the
Senate would have to vote against the
treaty to reject it, ten or twelve Sena-
tors can, if so minded, prevent vote
being taken on it before the short ses-
sion of Congress expires. 1t is to JUS
tify this sort of thing that the anti i-ex-
pansionists are trying so hard just now
to work up public sentiment against
the acquisition of the Philippines by
