R. G.. Newly was up from the
southwest corner of the county We'd
nesday after medicine for his cattle,
some of which have died recently
from causes unknown to him. Since
last Sunday he has lost nine head of
stock, eight of them being COWS
from three to six years old, and the
other a steer. Mr.. Newby is puzzl-
ed to know just what allied the ami
mails, but is inclined to the belief
that their death was due to eating
poisonous weeds, although he states
that his cattle have been running on
the same range that the cattle have
grazed over for several years. He
states that the cattle gave no indica-
ton of approaching illness but drop
ped suddenly to the ground, after
which they seemed to lose the use
of their legs and were unable to get
up. If relief was not afforded them
they died in very few minutes.
Mr.. Newly gave some of the afflict-
ed ones a dose of turpentine and oil
and succeeded in saving a goodly
number of them. He says the ami
mails acted very much as if they were
''buckeyed", but as there are no
buckeye trees within a thousand
miles of the place this theory will
not hold good. In view of the
above facts it behooves farmers and
ranchmen to look carefully after
their stock and inspect the range
closely to see that no poisonous
weeds are allowed to spring up

From The Ashland Clipper.

1 am informed that E. M. Otto,
who is bound over to the coming
term of court for the larceny of GER
tain cattle, is now having petition
circulated over the county asking
the county attorney to dismiss the
action, as the defendant has been
punished sufficiently. Now such
action is lily advised. If every man
in the county should sign it, that
would not warrant the county attor-
ney in its dismissal. The only effect
it can have will be to disqualify men
and make the selection of jury
more difficult and expensive.

HOME FOR SOLDIERS.

Senator Shoup has introduced a
bill in the Senate providing that
the Fort Sherman Military Reser-
vation in Kootenai Co., as soon as
abandoned, shall be turned into a
Soldiers home. The bill provides
that, All honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors who served in
the war of the rebellion, the Span
ish-American war, the provisional
army and the volunteer soldiers
and sailors of the war of eighteen
hundred and twelve and Of the
Mexican war who are disabled by
age, disease or otherwise, and by
reason of such disability are incap-
able of earning a living, shall be
admitted into this Branch Home
for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers,
subject to the rules and regulations
prescribed by the Board Of Mana

the situation. We merely point

Shoup wires "rest assured it will

is estimated that in the reservati on
there are 5000 quarter sections of
land occupied by actual settlers.
They were to pay 5000 for each
quarter section, or 81, 800, 900 in
the aggregate. The passing of this
bill releases the obligation of pay
ment and gives to the settlers this
large sum of money. Many of the
people will prove up this fall with
out being compelled to pay cent
and thus put on a solid financial
footing.-Genesee Nez0s.

ANTI-IMPERIALISM.

The question to be decided by
the people of this country in the
coming election is whether or not
they want to trade present prosper
ity for prospective anti-imperialism.
Do they want to risk all the good
things they are now enjoying in
order that the Democratic party
may be placed in position to- say
to Aguinaldo, Behave yourself,
lad, and you shall have indepen-
dence in the sweet to-comely."
Brought right down to plain Ian
guage that is all there is to this
anti-imperial proposition. The
Democrats are before the people of
the United States today asking to
be allowed to run the government
in order that they may promise to
give the chief of the Filipinos what
he wants. Simmer it all down and
there is nothing else at bottom. Do
you want to make a trade of that
kind?

MR.. COZIER, PLEASE ANSWER.
The Lewiston Teller says:

"Sinclair's testimony before the
investigating committee is fearfully
and wonderfully made. His ami
mus toward Mr.. R. V. Cozier, the
United States attorney, arises from
the fact that the latter refused to
accede to his plan of saddling the
major part of the expense of the ri
oting trials upon the government.
The State made a hue and cry and
threw a thousand men into the bull
pen, indiscriminately issued procla-
nations, fought windmills and con-
victed one man. Mr.. Cozier sifted
the evidence, selected thirteen men
from those in custody, made the
trial and convicted ten who are now
serving sentence. The contrast
places the State administration in a
bad light, hence these tears.
"Cross-examined by Mr.. Sulzer,
the testimony is as follows:
go. When Mr.. Cozier, the
United States attorney swears that
he refused to prosecute these men
by train load, and that he prosecut-
ed all the men against whom he
had sufficient evidence to convict,
did he tell the truth?
"A. Why he never made any
such-I never
80. Just answer the question.
ga. No, I can not tell wheth-
er he told the truth or not, because
he never had any conversation with
me respecting it.
90. You heard his testimony
here, did you?
ga. I did. 1t was a most sur
prising statement.
go. You think he was mis-
taken?
"'A. Oh, no, no; have not
thought about it, Mr.. Sulzer. from
that day to this.
80. How do you mean that it
was great surprise to you, then?
"'A. At that time he showed
such anxiety to prosecute this, and
even the State employed counsel to
help him; and the work was chiefly
done by this young man I sent
down there to help him; he cut
very small figure in the prosecu-
tons; it was this Mr.. Folsom, a
very bright, able young attorn-
ey whom I sent down there to
assist i'll the prosecutions; and it is
generally conceded that the success
of these trials was due to the efforts
of Mr.. Folsom.
90. You do not mean for us
to infer that your underling had
more ability than Mr.. Cozier, the
United States attorney, do you?
ga. He was a very much
brighter lawyer. He is no Under
ling of mine, at all. He was in the
employ of the State and a very
much brighter lawyer and abler
man in every respect. ,"
We desire to ask Mr.. Cozier
whether or not it is true that Mr..
Folsom did practically all the work
in connection with the prosecution
of the men convicted in the United
States courts, also whether it is true
that Folsom is very much bright
er lawyer and abler man than the
United States attorney, and if this
is true, what the devil has become

not Steunenberg and Sinclair em,
