COUNTY LIABLE. FOR ALL COSTS IN JUDGE
 MENTS RENDERED
 AGAINST IT. PHILPOT WINS HIS CASE.
The Supreme Court Passes on a Case Appealed by Judge Jones
 From This County.

In the Supreme Court Saturday Justice Battle rendered aa opinion in the case of Jefferson county vs. Philpot. The case in brief is as follows:
 Philpot had a number of claims against the county, which he pre- sented to the county court for allow ance When presented, they were filed by the clerk and he charged Philpot ten cents for filing each claim. The county court entered judgment against the county for the amount of the claims, but refused to allow the ten cents paid to the clerk for filling each of them. Philpot appealed to the circuit court which found that he was entitled to recover the amount of the claims presented and that he had paid ten cents for the filing of each of them and there fore declared the law to be that the amount paid to the county clerk was part of the costs of the allow ance of his claims and that heshould recover it from the county The county then appealed to thesupreme court It conceded that tho To 8- ance of the original claims was cor rect, but contended that the circuit court erred in permitting Phiipot to recover tbe amounts paid by him to the county clerk for his claims for allowance.
 The deeesion of the Supreme Court Is that the county is liable when sued and judgement is obtained against it, for all the costs in the case The decision concludes:
 Costs are incident to- all actions. One cannot be presented without it for the same reason a county is lia- ble under the statutes to pay inter- est on judgements against it, It should be liable for costs when a judgement is rendered against it. ,"
 Affirmed.

is IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pate
ent Medicines.

From Sylvan Valley News, Breyard. y, C.
1t may be a question whether the ed
itor OF newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which food the
market, yet as preventive Of suffer-
ing we feel Il duty to say good word
for Chamborlain's Cole, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found 1t
reliable. In many cases a dose OF this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while physician ls awaited. We do
not believe In depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do be-
lieve that II bottle of Chamberlain 8
Dlarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence oi
q physician would not be required. Al
least this has been our experience dur
ing the past twenty years. Fer sale by

THE GoveRNoRsHip CONTEST.

CARSON, July p. Arguments in the
Governorship case began to-day. At
torneys Smith and Coffin opened for
the relator, Mcmillan, their ad dress be-
ing followed by counter argument for
Sddler by Lieutenant.Goyernor Judge.
Attorney Irwin for sadler opened the
afternoon session for the respondent,
aud viii be followed by Thomas Wren.
William Wood burn will close the argu
ment for Sadler, and Judge Cheney for
Mcmillan. The chiei points OF conten-
ion are the red limo ballots OF Storey
county and the registration In Washoe
county says the Silver State.
The Carson News says; Counsel for
Mcmillan began their argument with
the introduction Of a classified brief of
all the objections interposed by both
sides It was done for the purpose Of
clarifying the attitude, at least, assumed
by McMllln's attorneys and fully set
ting out their claims. The court was
presented with three copies OF the brief
aud followed it during the course OF the
argument. In brief McMillan's attor.
nevs claimed in open court this morning
tnat laying aside the objections by both
parties to individual ballots, the result
OF the case shows this significant condi-
tion; certain votes must be declared IL
legal where the proof has been estah-
lished that voters cast their ballots
away from their home precincts. 1t
has been ascertained that declaring
such illegal votes az absolutely void and
dI-regarding them in the recount, Nc
MILAN would have majority of tive
votes.
McMillan's attorneys submitted to
the court that they had prepared their
tabulatad statement upon the basis Of
the decisions OF the court regarding the
ballots already passed upon. BY thi.
pr o iess of analogous reasoning and sub.
nIttlng too that there was possibility
OF inaceuraey, the statement shows that
/ MoMfllan's attorneys claim his election
by one hundred and lltty-seven.

BIG Profit in the Rocco. Home
stnlSe Nine.

The Rocco Homestake Mining Co.
has rendered its statement 10 the As
SCISSOR FOR the second quarter Of this
year, which makes pleasant reading.
In three months the company has ship
ped go tons Of ore Of a gross value OF
s35, $40. The cost Of extraction was
al. $50, the cost Of transportation 5l4, :
s07. and the cost Of reduction $50, leav-
ing a net profit of s., 49, on which the
revenue to the county and state amounts
TO sos. 90.
This strikes US as a fair report and it
is a pleasure to note that White Pine
has at least one dividend payer among
It's numerous mines. All the reports
that come from the mine are very fsv-
orable and il is more than likely that
the shipments for the present quarter
viii be nearly double what they We're
last quarter. We hope to see several
more dividend payers added to the list
before many months roll around.

OF it, there would be hustle to push
