HERO
Of the Young Lawyers
Republican Club
Closed the Campaign in a Blaze of
Glory at Democratic Meeting.

1iiC L3aShSioLiioi VI thO
Young Lawyers Republican Club"
Thus whispered number of peo-
pie as Nation o. Mather, Esq. fol-
lowed by young woman, and the
cat-calls and Kisses of a disgusted
crowd. walked a gauntlet of digni-
fled citizens in his violent exodus
from Assembly hall Monday night.
But with all the vain dignity of
young turkey gobbler strutting
about two days before Thanksgiving,
Mr.. Mather, attorney-at-law, con-
tinued on, and no doubt upon reach
ing the pavement remarked peev-
ishly to the blushing young lady,
who, while passing from the hall,
plainly exhibited woman's delicate
sense of humiliation at being placed
in a circumstance obliging her to
follow an asinine character who
poses as man: "Weally, now, they
do not appeah to compwehend my
dwignity. They do not seem to
wealize that am a membah of the
Young Lawyah's Wepublican club,
and a Wepublican, who has shouted
in the interests Mista Hannah. It is
widiculous.
Mr.. Mather was at the Democratic
mass meeting Monday night. He
was not there by special invitation.
A carriage had not been sent for
him. He did not assist in paying
the hall rent. When he was first
noticed in the hall it was presumed
that he was there as a well-mannered
citizen - with Intelligence and
courtesy enough to hear both sides
of question, and to permit others to
do the same.
But, imbued with that inane idea
which infests some upstarts in the
same aggravated measure that flea
does pug dog, Mr.. Mather imagined
himself to be the whole show.
ut is L whom this people have
come to see," he no doubt solilo-
quized; and then threw his head back
and thrust his thumbs in the arm
holes of his vest with an air indicative
of there being centralized in him all
the dignity of the Republican party,
with Hanna and the trusts on the
side, and little more of the white
meat, please, not far away.
On several occasions Mr.. Mather
endeared himself to himself by yell
ing "Bravo!" when the speaker
would be interrupted with question
and then he would look wise and
laugh little at his sagacity.
Finally something was said that
didn't please Mr.. Nation o. Mather,
attorney-at-law, member of the
Young Lawyers Republican club and
be asked Mr.. Fox question. 1t was
answered in a courteous manner,
with compasson upon its being a
stranger to the subject.
Then Mr.. Mather jumped about |
four feet into the air and exclaimed as
be was making the descent, Good
oye"
He then started for the door, no
loubt expecting the crowd to follow.
But it didn't. Some hissed, others
eered and the rest just smiled a
compassionate smile as they thought
If the extreme freshness of youth |
and the year of the short oats.

sworn to stand firm forever be-

will doubtless recover from the
blow in time, but the sufferings

SanFrancisco, Aug. 29.-The
transport "Grant"passed through
the heads at II o'clock this eve
ming and came to anchor off the
barge Office at midnight to await
quarantine.
On board are % officers, AS
men of First Idaho infantry, be-
sides the North Dakota and Wy
oming volunteers. No deaths of
Idaho volunteers on the voyage.
Leaning over the side of the
big transport, Maj. Higgins, com
handing Idaho troops, said to
the Idaho reception committee :
''Tell our people, for all the
men, officers and myself, that
we are glad indeed to be back
once more, to our own beloved
country. We went forth at the
call of country, ready to defend
our flag and our national honor
abroad, against any foe. We
never thought of the hardships
and dangers we should have to
face. But we never flinched,
nor budged. We have simply
done our duty to our country as
soldiers and best we knew how.
That our efforts are appreciated
by our people at home, is a
splendid reward and most graft
flying to all of us. We have suf-
fered comparatively little, the
men have borne their share of
the burden with admirable forti-
tude and without murmuring,
but the homecoming is the best
of ALL"
The tug Mcdowell, with the
Idaho delegation aboard. will es-
cort the Grant" to the Folsom
street dock tomorrow. The Ida
no ladies will take out a box
luncheon for the volunteers.
On Thursday the Idaho dele
cation will give the boys a din
ner at the Preside.
The First California will act
as an escort when the men dis
embark from the Grant" and
to the Preside. The
will also give a sup
per to the returning volunteers.
General Shafter says the men
will all be landed early Thurs
day morning.

he heard fine reports from all
quarters. Men who own good
prospects feel there is an oppor
tunity to sell if they wish to, and
the owners of developed mines
are encouraged to push work
upon them. Colonel Sharp has
his copper property at Houston
bonded, and Senator Carey's
properties above Ketchum are
under bond. Offers are being
made all the time to bond claims
on the gold belt, and all indica-
tons point to season of great
activity in that locality.
In Custer county there is an
army Of prospectors and all feel
encouraged. Mr.. Hutchinson
met men from Thunder noun
tain who spoke very highly of
that district. The Blackbirdl
district is also attracting much
attention. The Lucky Boy mine
is looking better than ever bel
fore. The cable on the old
tramway broke last Sunday.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
The company is erecting new
tramway; the supports are up
and the cable is on the way in.
The tramway is about a mile in
length. The dredge in Stanley
Basin has been launched. A
testing plant is at work there and
are to the effect that
wonderfully rich results are be-
ing secured.
Mr.. Hutchinson was impress
ed by the great number of hot
springs in Custer county. Every
gulch is filled with them, he
says. He tells a joke at the ex-
pense of the hot water supply
to D. T. Miller, who
IS out in that region gathering
information on the resources of
Jhe country for the Idaho Mid
and Railroad Company, of
which Thomas w. Bates is pro-
noter. To illustrate the album
lance of the hot water supply,
ne said, 1--WE can run our engin-
IS for $50 miles through this
country without using any fuel;
Ill we shall have to do will be to
build reservoirs and fill the boil
srs with natural hot water"
Mr.. Miller is doing a great
of work. He has col
ected data of the freight handl-
ID in and out the county and is
making observations upon all
he resources of the region. He
has a photographer along who
views of much of the
unsurpassed scenery met with
n that section.

COUNTY TAX LEVIES.

Attorney General Hays has re
ceived an inquiry from County
Attorney Clark of Bingham
county about the effect OF the
law of the last session, limiting
the county tax levy for genera
purposes to $1.50, in cases ir
which the amount is not sufficienI
to pay the interest on bonds in
addition to the general expen'
ses. There are q number of
counties with large bonded in
debtedness, and these might be
hampered if the law had prohib-
tied the levy of an additional
sum to meet the interest. The
Attorney General, after an ex-
haustive examination of the sub
ject, finds that the payment of
interest on outstanding bonds
cannot be jeopardized by such an
act as that of the last session,
and that an additional amount
may be levied to settle such in
terest when necessary. His con-
clusion is set forth in the follow
ing letter to Mr.. Clark :
Boise, Aug. %, 1899.-N. H.
Clark, Esq, County Attorney,
Idaho Falls, Idaho. Dear Sir !:
Replying to the question as to
whether or not the county COM
missioners of Bingham can make
an additional levy for the pur-
pose Of paying maturing bonds
and interest thereon, over and
above the levy of a cent and one
half for general county and state
purposes, as provided in section
1411 of the revised statutes as
amended, / have to say that the
tax law at the time of the issuing
of the bonds becomes substan-
TALLY a part of the contract and
cannot be changed to the dis
advantage of the bond holder.
AS was said by the supreme
court of the United States in the
county court of Rails county VS..
the United States, 105th U. S.
1888: when authority is grant
ed to q state to contract a debt
by the issue of negotiable secur-
tiles, it has the power to levy
taxes sufficient to meet such debt
at maturity unless the law which
conferred the authority, or some
general law in force at that time,
clearly manifested a contrary
legislative intention"
Bearing in mind the rules laid
down in the above case and also
in the United States VS.. Quincy,
4th Wall, 535, Port of Mobile VS..
Watson, 10th, U. S., 289, Sieb-
ert VS.. Lewis, 1872 U. S. 284, Il
think it may be taken as a gen
eral rule that in case the levy
provided by section 1411 is in
sufficient (after payment of gen
eral expenses) to pay maturing
bonds and interest that an ad-
levy for such purpose
may lawfully be made. The or
lginal law authorizing the issue
Of the bonds and the general
statues regarding taxation at the
Time should, as pointed out in
The above cases, be given care
ful attention and consideration.
Yours truly,

Attorney General. |
