REPUBLICANS MEET
ON SATURDAY.
Convention Promises to be Rather
a Stormy One.
CUT AND DRIED STATE APPROVED.
Delegates May. However, do the Bucking
BrOnChO Act.
BREAcHwILL BE CAUSED BY SHERIFF FIGHT
Some Dark Horses May Make Their Appear
auce and Upset the Calculations of the
Machine All Candidates are anxious

Republican primaries We're held last
night and on Saturday the delegates will
assemble in the court house and AlanitO-
voc Republicans will then decide who
will be placed upon the county tick&t.
1t is given out that a cut-and-dry slate
has been settled upon by the machine,
but that the choice for sheriff is not gen
orally popular, hence four candidates
are waging strenuous warfare to secure
the nomi nation, notwithstanding the
improbability of any Of them ever gett-
ing elected, good fellows though they
be. The following is the ticket propos-
ed, giving the four contending caudi-
dates who wish TO head it,
County Clerk
r.. l.. sCHAELAND. city,
Sheriff
FRED EGGERr, city,
PIERRE BURT. city.

County Superintendent OF Schools
While the above ticket in the main
practically reflects the wish of the lead
ers, yet it is not wholly acquiesced in
the county. From good many sources
the rumblngs of dissatisfaction is heard
and it is not improbable that storm
may break over the convention from
other causes than the sheritf's fight For
nearly all the offices the candidates for
nomination have reen chosen at sacri-
flee OF other deserving men, and the
friends of the disappointed aspirants
may make their presence known on con
vention day. by projecting names to the
front for nomination, thus causing
more serious and complex disturbance
than was expected
Most of the candidates are now on the
anxious seat and delegates are being
huttonholed right ana lrIt, importuned
to vote this way mrd for that candidate
Notwithstanding the fact that there
will be q good many breaches caused by
the uom.nation of meu for offices be-
meath that of the sheriff, yet the deepest
laceration will be- caused in the party
ranks by the victor for the nomination

committee of the Commercial club about
plans for the coming Interstate Fair. Mr..
Kirby promises the committee two car
loads of products from the district about
Peck. He thinks that the fair should be
held not later than September IS, in or
der to allow the best of the display time
TO be transferred to the Spokane exposi
ton.
Mr. Kirby has had practical experience
III the management of fruit fairs. Two
years ago he had charge of the Kendrick
fruit fair, and last year he managed the
fair at Peck and took charge of the ex-
hibt of Ne2 Perce county at the Spokane
exposition, where lie succeeded in win
ming the prize cup. Mr.. Kirby says tie
average attendance at the kendrick fair
two years ago was 5000 day. He
thinks Lewiston with its superior attrac-
tons that are being planned will be able
to double that.
The features Of the fair are beginning
to take shape. There will be fruit fair
and industrial display, including prize
pigs and prize pumpkins. The associa-
tion will hang some rich purses for the
race men, which will bring here some of
the best horses of the northwest circuit.
There is to be baby day" to exhibit
the prize products Of Lewiston valley,
and a watermelon day" when this lus-
cious product of Nineland will be dis
posed of free and consumed in rag time.
There will probably be a day devoted to
athletic sports with purses to be con-
tested for by the athletes of the country.
These and many other features are now
taking shape under the advisement of the
committee. When the organization is
completed and the stock subscribed def.
inite plans will soon be announced.

Case OF Interest to Every County In the

art OF the district court Yesterday decided
the case brought by the State against Ada
county for the collection of $500 of back
taxes, due by the county to the state,
The decision is in favor of the state,
though the contention of the state is not
sustained in all respects. This case is Of
general interest throughout the state, as
nearly all the counties are indebted to
the state treasury, many of them being
III large amounts. Under the law of 1895
the state levies lump sum against each
county, but III collecting the taxes there
are delinquencies, aud the counties have
generally remained in debt TO the state
to the extent OF its proportion Of these
delinquencies The state contended in
this case the counties should pay in full,
irrespective of whether or not there were
delinquencies. Judge Stewart holds the
state levy is an absolute debt, but the
counties need not pay until il is collected.
However, it is the duty of the commits.
sioners TO levy a special tax at the end oi
the year 10 raise the state money involved
in the delinquencics. The case will be
appealed.
