from the House committee soon after the
reconvening of Congress on the third OF
January will carry provision abolish
ing the Missouri river commission. The
dsoislon to discontinue the commission
is said to have been unanimous on the
part of the committee and IL Is the re-
suit Of statements made to the commit
tee by members OF the House whose dis
trlcts touuch the Missouri ON either side
that the NAVIGATION of the stream is SO
limited as to render the commission USE
less. The general opinion was that as

most entirely Of the protection OF the
banks, this work could be done as well II
left directly to the Secretary of War
The commission was created In 1884.

Mexican Money at PaIouse.

For the past few days Palouse has
been Hooded to greater or less extent
with Mexican half dollars from some
source unknown, says the Republic. 1t
is supposed, however, that they were
shipped in by some enterprising party
or parties at an approximate cost of so
cents on the dollar, in U. S, currency.
According to New York quotations the
currency value of Mexican dollars is 46
cents. The only value of the coin in
this country is the bullion value, and
that can only be obtained after the
money is taken TO the mint. There may
be several hundred dollars OF this money
in town, and if one should inadvertently
get too much of it on hand he might
have to trade it cord for cord for his
winter q wood

character, OF ideas, of soundness of iudg

the votes OF men of every party.

Ethan E. Smith of st. John bears the
respect and confidence OF those among
whom he has done business for several
years. They know his capabilities and
worth and urged his nomination upon
these grounds.
In the Seventh district Hon. MILFORD

Engine Rolled Over a Grade.

A Uniontown letter of Sunday says:
Yesterday the threshing engine of Weber
Bros, with stub tank and trap wagon
attached, went off the grade just above
the saddle on the Lewiston hill and rolled
several hundred feet down the canyon.
The engineer, Conrad Weber, not being
able to get off, went over with it and
was quite badly hurt. having two ribs
broken, terrible cash cut on the fore
head and part of band taken off. be-
sides internal injuries, the extent of which
are not yet known. He was brought to
his home in this city. 1t is thought
that the accident was caused by the
breaking of the guide chain.

FINED FIFTY DOLLARS,
Judge Mcdonald Assessed This To
Sheriff Canutt


In the celebrated case of Judge Nc
Donald VS.. Sheriff Canutt, the Judge last
Friday placed fine of $50 upon the
sheriff for contempt of court in telling
him that his actions in the Hugh Boyle
case were rotten. The sheriff has not
paid it, nor does he propose to until the
supreme court says for it to be done, and
has appealed the case. Sheriff Canutt
has never denied what he said, and is
perfectly satisfied to pay the fine if the
supreme court says so, just for the priv
ilege OF saying it.
At the close OF this case Judge Me
Donald announced that he would call a
jury to try Hugh Boyle, who is accused
OF assisting Clifford to break Jail, and
that on short time. He ordered the trial
for next Monday, September "a, against
the protest of the prosecuting attorney
on such short notice, though but little
while back he refused to call Jury for
the trials of Dan Binnard and p. Le-
francis, charged with Sunday opening of
saloons. However, when he found it
necessary to try Boyle right quick he
ordered these cases advanced on the
docket and set for trial before the same
jury, but as yet it has not been done,
only the Boyle case being set down.
