The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1899-06-20

The case of David L. Rich, the
Challis merchant, against whom
involuntary proceedings were
commenced in the United States
court, came up before Judge
Beatty.
FL. E. McElroy represented the
SanFrancisco houses in whose
interest the proceedings were
commenced, and w. T. Reeves
of Pocatello represented Mr..
Rich.
Mr.. Reeves gave notice that
he would move to dissolve the
injunction issued in connection
with the bankruptcy proceedings
and the case went over until the
29th of this month, at which
time the motion will be argued
providing a settlement is not
reached meantime and the case
dismissed.
The representative of San
Francisco firms has made over
lures for settlement.

including the Rogers mortgage.
He said had the SanFrancisco
firm sent representative to him
he would very quickly have salts
fled him that everything was all
right, thus avoiding the embar-
rassment of the legal steps taken.
Mr.. Rich added that the pro-
ceedings were commenced just
at the time when spring business
was opening up, to meet which
he had a large stock of goods on
hand. If this thing had not
been precipitated l could have
off nearly all my creditors inside
of go days." he said.

STANDARD OIL REFUSES
To Produce Books in Court Besides
Those Already In.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. BIN the argu-
ments before the upreme court today on
the motion of the attorney general to dis
miss the master commissioner and con-
tinue the IN vestigation OF the Standard
OIL company in open court, Hon. Virgil
Kline of Cleveland, attorney for the
oil company, was forced TO make some
very positive statements and admissions.
He declared, in the first place, in response
to interrogatories of the court, that the
company will not under the former order
of the court, produce any books other than
those already given IN evidence. In the
second place, he admitted that there are
still outstanding about $4,000 600 worth Of
trust certificates OF the Standard Oil trust,
which the court ordered dissolved in 1898
but which the president of the Standard
company has all along been trying to get
in and IS still trying. The court heard the
arguments OF both sides, but took no
action.

BIG TOM REID FEELS SAFE
Senator Bethany Is Loaded for Tax
EQUALIZATION

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. 5.-(SpeciaI) Big
Tom Reid, the Republican member of
the legisla ture from Canadian, came in
last night from FL Reno and as the
news circulated there was a focking of
the crowds toward the hotel to get a
glimpse Of the name-sake and prototype
OF the boss of congress. Andd when the
crowd came and saw the Reid boom for
speakership spread like wild-fre. The Ok
lahoma Reid is big man physically and
impresses the observer as big man men
tally as well, and the fact that in name
and appearance he is so near alike TO
the man at Washington" is working a
subtle and powerful sentimental influence
in his behalf. Reid is affable and pleas
ant with his callers, but absolutely re-
fuses to be interviewed regarding his
chances for the speakership. beyond the
confident statement that he viii prove
successful and without much trouble His
main reliance IS the solid support of the
West Side, and even should there be a
break in his expected strength from that
source, he confidently claims a support
from the East Side that VIII more than

Senator George W. Bellamy, who will
represent Canadian county in the coun-
Gil, arrived at the capital this after
noon. and with his accustomed energy
and hustle commenced at once to learn
what IS going on Although belonging to
the minority party, which usually IS not
given much opportunity in the shaping
Of legislative policy. Senator Bellamy has
a vigorous way that usually succeeds in
accomplishing what he goes after. He

GROVER GROWS SARCASTIC
BY Way of Giving His Ideas of How
Not DoIt

Princeton, n. J., Jan. 5.-Ex-Presfden+
Cleveland, in reply to the request of the
representative Of the Associated Press for
an expression on the question of expan-
sion, said:
Il do not care to repeat nv views CON
corning the prevailing epidemic of imperiE
alIsIn ana territorial expansion. Assum-
ing, however, that my ideas on the sub
Ject are antiquated and unsuited to these
progressive days. It is a matter Of sur
Prise to me that the refusal of certain ma
yves OF our new possessions to acquiesce
IN the benehcence of subjecting them 10
our control and management should in the
least disturb our expansionists This
phase of the situation ought not to have
been unanticipated nor the incidents natu-
rally growing out of it overlooked. The
remedy is obvious and simple The mis-
guided Inhabitants of our new territory
who prefer something different from the
plan for their control which we proposed
or who oppose our designs in their be-
half, should be slaughtered. The killing
OF natives has been a feature of expan-
sion since expansion began, and our i'm
perialistic enthusiasm should not be
checked by the prospective necessity of
destroying a few thousand or a few nun
dred thousand Philippines This should
only be regarded as one stage in a trans
cendantally great movement. a mere in
cident in its progress. Of course. some
unprepared souls would then be lost be-
fore we had the opportunity Of Christian
izing them, but surely those Of our clergy
men who have done so much to encoura ge
expansion could manage that difficulty"

JAKE ROBERTS AMBITION
And How the Judicial situation Con-
spires TO ThWart

Oklahoma ity, O. r., Jan. 5.-(Special.)-
Hon. Jake Roberts was in Oklahoma
ity last night, on his way home to King
fisher from Guthrie where he has been
watching the moves on the legislative
checkerboard for several days. Mr.. Rob-
berts has cherished a laudible ambition to
round out a successful professional career
by occupying a seat on the territorial SUI
preme bench, and he may still be nurs-
ing that ambition, at the same time
frankly admitting that the prospects of
any further changes are decidedly remote.
Neither was there a perceptible trace Of
bitterness or disappointment in his ad-
mission, but rather a calm, philosophical
acceptance of a situation that is beyond
the power of himself or his backing to
overcome. For instance, when asked to
explain the political meaning of the APP
pointment of ]. Renshaw, a Republican,
to be clerk of the court under Judge
NfcAtee, a Democrat, Mr. Roberts
promptly explained that it meant the IN
definite retention of Judge McAtee on the
bench. Judge McAtee," he went on to
say, comes from q very rich and in
fuential family in Maryland. and this.
together with the other influences that
have succeeded in keeping him on the
bench a year after his commission ex-
occupancy for an indefinite period
HAS your attention been called to the
recent dispatch concerning the candida
cy Of an eastern man for Judge -Tarsney's
placer"
Yes. I have understood for some time
that Judge Irwin, Of E1gin, Illinois, is
being actively pushed for an Oklahoma
appointment, and 1t is my frtber under
standing that mis- name is slated for a
place. But do not believe that Judge
Tarsney will be disturbed until his term
OF office expires-at least hope not, for
he has made US a good judge. fearless
and fair in his dispensation of justice,
and possessing such qualities he stands
high in the estimation of the people OF
his district, regardless Of politics"
Judge Roberts came from Guthrie with
the impression that A. II. Huston would
be made president of the legislative coun-
Gill; which, in his judgment, would be the
right thing to do if the speakership of
the house is accorded the west side. Hus-
toms advantage over the other candidates,
Judge Roberts claims, is his wide &C
quaintance over the territory and the fact
that he is known to possess the qualities
of successful leadership.
Asked if the rumor was correct that he
intended changing his residence TO Okla
homa City, Judge Roberts replied: Il m
seriously thinking Of it"

SELECTED STORY.
WHEN TWILIGHT 1RING5 YOU NEAR.

WHEN TWILIGHT RINGS YOU NEAR
When the sunset gifts are fading in
the west
And stars begin to CLEAN across the
sky,
The tender twilight brings me peace
and rest.
While, dear, to y)u my hearts best
longings fly.
The miles that lie etween us seem as
naught;
Your form come gliding softly 10
my chair,
And looking into inc with eyes love-
fraught,
Your fingers wal der idly DER my
hair;
Your loving touch E benediction seems
That calls my nobler, truer self to
life;
long to realize my manhoods better
dreams
And be a worthiel actor in the strife.
With purifying love your dark eyes
shine,
The last light fingers on your dusky
hair,
And then you gently draw your hand
from mine;
l glance to where you knelt-you are
not there.
And so at twilight time my thoughts
of you
Bridge over all tie miles that inter-
vene,
And bring you to me ever good and
true,
With none to sever, naught to come
between.
