Important Decision.

Memphis, Tenn, March pa
decision rendered in the United
States court by Judge Hammond
establishes an important precedent
10 bankruptcy proceedings and will
attract attention from the bench
and bar where bankruptcy litiga
ton is pending.
The important principle empha-
sized by Judge Hammond's de-
cision is that a merchant when he
sells his stock as a whole must ap-
ply the proceeds to the satisfaction
of his creditors claims; that it S
as much against the bankruptcy
law to conceal or transfer money
with view to defeating other
form of property.

ORGANIZING AGAINST CANUTT.
Saloon Men Active In AN Attempt
to Down Him.

Pleas Lefrancis of Colfax, the well
known salOonkeeper. has Just completed
tour Of the county, during which be
has endeavOred to organize the saloons
in the interest Of J. B. Mackay, the
democratic candidate for sheriff. The
reason he gives for his work is that
Canutt will not bind himself to stand
with the saloons in their violation OF the
law, and the further fact that the Anti
Saloon League is reported to favor his
election. At Palouse City last Friday,
LefTanCis barkeeper was heard explain
ing to & saloon man of that place:
eve are organizing the saloons all
over the county for Mackay and against
Canutt; and we expect to win out. Why,
III tell you what that man Canutt did.
Just in the middle of the harvest season,
Lefrancis opened up his place on Sunday
to DO a little business, when Canutt
walked in, looked all around, (sticking
his nose in our business and then went
out without saying word. He went to
the prosecuting attorney, and swOre out
q complaint against us. Through our
attorney, Shorty" Brown, who has
stand il with Mcdonald, the case was
put off till after election; but his action
gees to show that Canutt is against US.
Mackay has promised that when elected
he will leave us alone. That's what we
want, even if Mackay does graft on us a
little every month"
Such organization is, Of course, moth
ing new. In the election of 1898, just
such a combination of saloon men and
gamblers as that now being effected was
in full working order, but it was made
SO secretly that it's existence was not
known by Mr.. Canutt and his friends IN
til day or two before election. 1t came
perilously near defeating him, as he won
out by but so votes. Garfield, where
there is no saloon, saved Canutt from
defeat then by giving him the handsome
vote of 20, to 16 for Mackay. The city
Of COlfax piled up majority Of rs for
Mackay. Wherever the saloon cOmbina-
ton could exert an influence for Mackay
it made itself felt in big figures. 1t is at
tempting the same thing now, because
the saloon men and the gamblers and
thimble riggers believe Mackay will pro-
tect them in Sunday openings OF saloons
and such other violations Of the law as
are incident to their business.

BANKS AND COUNTY FUNDS.
attorney General Says Proposition
Cannot Be Accepted

Readers will remember that Edwin T
conan, cashier OF the First National
Bank OF Colfax addressed, through the
newspapers, an open letter 30 County
treasurer Windus, Offering, on behalf of
the bank, to pay per cent interest on
county money, providing all the funds
snail be deposited with the bank. Treas
urer Windus responded in like manner,
announcing his perfect agreeableness to
the proposition; but that he would first
submit the question as to his right to
40 this to the state attorney general.
The attorney general has given out
the following opinion regarding the
county treasurer depositing county
funds in banks on which intererest is to
be paid for the county's benefit:
wv. j. Windus, County Treasurer
whitman County, COlfax, Wash: The
inquiry contained in your letter is
whether you have the right as county
treasurer to accept proposition made
by MIR. Conan for the deposit Of the en-
tire county fund in the bank he repre-
sents, the hank to pay therefor to the
county the rate of 4 per cent interest
per annum.
Responding to your communication
| beg to say that do not believe you
have the authority to enter into the con
tract. You will remember there is a gen
eral provision of the law making it a
penal offense for the county, state or
municipal treasurer to loan the public
moneys. In 1895 the Legislature by a
special provision permits the county
treasurer to deposit the moneys in
banks in his own name, recurring him as
a precedent to such deposit to take a
bond from the bank as security for the
deposit. The statute can not be con-
strued in any sense as permitting the
county treasurer to loan county moneys.
III an agreement is entered into be-
tween you and any bank that the bank,
as a consideration for the deposit of
money, shall pay therefore a stipulated
rate OF interest, such transaction con
stitutes loan. Under the statute of
1895 and under the general laws of this
state you have not the authority to
make loans"

M'KINLEY WILL GAIN.
New York Herald Says He Will
Have PSI Votes.

Washington, Oct. 21-The New York
Herald which has accurately forecasted
presidential elections in past years, an
nOunces that Mckinley will have PSI
electoral votes and Bryan 166. This
announcement is made after a most
careful canvass of all doubtful states,
and shows a gain in the college for Nc
kinley OF 10 votes over that of four
years ago. The Herald gives Mckinley
all the states he carried in 1896 except
Kentucky; and Kansas, South Dakota
Wyoming, Washington and one vote in
California, which were cast for BRYAN
four years ago.
There is nothing surprising in the re-
suit of the Herald's forecast, as it is
about the same as that Of every careful
political student not blinded by partisan
desires. The feature Of it is that the
Herald has had ample resources at it's
command to secure it's information, and
it's methods have been OF a painstaking
character. The canvass shows a falling
off in the large pluralities given for Nc
kinley in New York, New Jersey, Illinois
and Wisconsin, vet in New York the poll
shows that Mckinley will have 115, 900.
OF the states given to Mckinley the
greatest doubt is OF Indiana, where the
farmer vote is depended upon to carry
the electoral vote for the Bryan. ticket.
OF the Bryan states, Kentucky and Ne
braska are considered republican-close
pOssibilities-While some Of the noun
tain states are classed as bare pOssibili
ties.
The canvass also shows that the re-
publicans will control the next house of
representatives and that II senatorial
seats are in doubt, being two each in
Delaware, Nebraska and Montana, and
one each in Kansas, West Virginia, Hi
nOis, Idaho, South Dakota and Utah;
but with the republicans sure to have
46, majority in any event.

FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY,
COlfaX High School and Pullman
Meet On Gridiron,

Meet On Gridiron.
Football season is here again and the
firgt game of the season will be PLAYED
at ColfaX Saturday afternoon, Dec. 81.
between Pullman and Colfax. The game
will be called at 3 p. M, sharp. The
Colfax boys, under the name Of the
"COlfax High School Team" have been
practicing faithfully for the coming
match, when they will make their debut
on the gridiron. They are fast becom-
ing strong on the offensive PLAYS, and
their interference is showing up well, but
as they have had no chance to practice
against opponents they are little weak
on the defensive. Good work NAV be
expected from Grimm and Ellis, who will
hold down the guard position; while
Garfield and Amos, the big left tackle,
will not be far behind, and HolIings-
worth's backing will be a feature. From
all appearances the game will be fast
one. The boys feel very grateful to those
who have SO kindly contributed to help
them along, and hope to reciprocate by
giving some good games this season.
Following is the line up for Saturday

Chadwick, the present democratic candi-

He, the said Chadwick, denied these
