The same individuals, if elected,

outfit will dictate the fixing of
salaries. the allowance of bills, the
awarding of contracts, the drawing
of political jnries, and theinnumer-
able other evils and abuses so char
aci eristic of fusion rule during the
past two yeals. The Republican
party presents to the voters of Koo-
tenai county three men as its candi-
dates for commissioners eminently
well qualified and worthy of all
confidence.

Glen. B. King, our candidate fer
the First District. has resided in
the county for 10 years. and during
that time has been at different
times engaged in farming, mining

Another Fusion Chicken home to Roos

Another Fusion Chicken home to Roost
Mr.. Joseph I. Scott is the editor
of the Occur d. Alene Press, a Fus-
ion newspaper, is also a Fusion
candidate for the legislature from
Kootenai county, and for that rea-
son should be man of truth, upon
whom his constituents might de-
pend, if he should be elected.
Mr.. Scott in his paper issued
Septembet s, 1900, makes the state
ment that the board of county com
missioners elected in 1896, tor Koo-
tenai county, composed of w. B.
Dishman, w. H. Cable and Thomas
Smith was Republican Board,
and he denounces the said board
for what he says was Fan iniquitous
and unjust reduction of Northern
Pacific taxes by the republican
board of county commissions"
And ne says further
Honest Tom Smith, the only
Fusionist on the hoard, protesting
and voting against the injustice.
If it is comparisons of administers
tons the republican politicians are
after, they can be Accommodated"
Now it is well known by all
people who lived III Kootenai coun
ty in 1896 that the republi cans did
not elect their Commissioners that
year. The republican candida ties
for commissioners we're j a. Ball,
e. W. Wheeler and w. H. Cable,
Mr.. Cable having been nominated
by the silver Republicans and en-
dorsed by the Mckinley Repu bli
cans.
w. B. Dishman was democrat,
nominated by the democrats, and
was never anything else but a dem
ocrat, and he was on the democratic
and populist ticket; the democrat
and popullsts having complet
fusion in 1896.
Thomas Smith was a silver re
publican, nominated and elected a
} such, SO it will be seen that tn
r board of commissions elected il
1896 was strictly fusionist board

, sensations, then our ideas as to th
public requirement of truth i
; politics are entirely at fault.

Detective Arrested for Placing Dyna-

ST. LOUIS. June 22.-The sensation
Of the day in the street car strike was
the arrest Of Ora Havil. a detective
employed by the Transit Company, on
suspicion of having been implicated in
numerous dynamite explosions that
have occurred along the lines of the
Transit Company. Chief Of Police
Campbell recently detailed men to
watch Havill, taking this action after
Haviil had reported to the Transit
Company officials the details Of an al
legged conspiracy to blow up the street
railway bridge over the river Desperes.
Police detectives afterward caught Ha-
viii in the act Of placing dynamite near
the bridge.
Chief Campbell declares his belief
that Havill has been planting dynamite
and reporting the conspiracles in an
endeavor to establish a record with
the Transit Company as an energetic
sleuth. Havill Is out on bonds pendiae
trial under indictment for the alleged
embezzelment Of $1,000 from the South
ern Illinois penitentiary. Of which he
was chief clerk.

ITO read your papers" he said. "one
might think all China afiame; that the

As one who knows something Of

The powers are cooperating as one

Why not?" replied Mr.. Rothstein.
Surely the powers will not want Ter
territory. For Russia can say that
we do not want one foot of Chinese
soil.
Il confess there is a great question to
settle. The Chinese are q hard people
to understand. They are intensely
proud. They believe their country is
