Very respectfully,
JAMES GRAHAM,
County Attorney.

And the commissioners made the
following order:
1t is hereby ordered by the board
of county commissioners of Koote-
mai county, Idaho, that warrants
number 924 and mum Der 927, issued
to N. G.. Sisson, and number 925
and number 92S to A. N. Tucker,
and number 926 and 929 to l.. T.
Dittemore, all the above warrants
being of the series of 1900, and
dated Jan. Is, 1901, be and the
same arc hereby countermanded
and revoked, and payment on the
same estopped, and that the clerk
of this board is hereby ordered to
notify the said N. G. Sisson, A. N.
Tucker, and L. T. Dittemore of the
action of said board in the premises,
and also to notify the county treas
urer of said action.
This order is hard blow at the
windJammers. 10 say nothing OF
giving them the lie by people of
their own political family, it shows
there was a general stand-in among
certain fusion officials to draw fat
salaries and to draw fat wads out
of the county treasury. By con
doning these illegal acts, these
windjammers convict themselve
of official per6dy and show
themselves unfit to hold public
office.

THE Spokesman Review is
great newspaper, but it is being
seriously imposed upon by fusion
politician who acts as it's CORE
spondent from this county The
Spokane newspaper should respect
it's patronage from the Panhandle
county to the extent of chopping
off its correspondents rotten po-
liti,al articles. Under a Rathdrum
date line there recently appeared
an article commenting on county
finances, and stating that county
warrants were only 10 months over
due. The article is misleading in
in this that the revenues are now
practically all in and there are no
funds in sight with which to re-
plenisb the county treasury for
10 months more, so that if warrants
are now 10 months overdue they
will in reality be 20 months over
due before there is cash on hand tC
pay them. Such methods of at
tempting to misIead the public a.
to the financial condition of TIE
county is contem ptible. The truth
of the matter is that the warran
Indebtedness of the county now
almost reaches. if it does not exceed
the enormous total reached a few
years ago when bond issu
was resorted to. The exact figure
will be at hand when the fusion
manipulators make up their minds
that no further political advantag
is to accrue to them in holdin
back reports which the law direct
them to publish.

FUSION TROUBLES.
Two Fusion Windjammers up Against
the Real Thing.


a couple of Fusion windjammers
who stumpped Kootenai County
last fall. and preached the doctrine
of the honesty and integrity of the
fusion administration Of county
affairs. The new board of county
commissioners and the new county
attorney, Mr.. James Graham, have
Just taken fail out of these two
patriots and placed them in a most
dispicable light before the people
whose confidence they abnsed.
1t will be recalled in the cam
plign last fall the republicans de-
nounced the official mismanage-
ment by the then fusion officials
and pointed out that the treasury
was being looted of funds on war
rants drawn contrary to law. 1t
will be recalled also how these
windiammers went over the county
telling the electors that the Repub-
lican newspapers hsd not made a
single point; that what the republic
can organs charged needed no ans
wer because black as white and
therefore they should have two
years more. We remeh, Der how
fusion audiences applauded that
logic, AID the windjammers actu-
ally made a majority of tne electors
believe that black was white, and
so they were "vindicared."
But their "vindication" was of
short duration. One of their cand-
hates tor county commissioner was
reader and student. He al
least saw the merit to the conten-
ton of the Republican newspapers
if he did net profit by the advice
The windjammers could not con.

methods of drawing money from

President Bowman, in speaking of the
death of President Mckinley, held him
out as a copy for the youth of our land
to pattern after. and appealed to their
patriotism in mourning the loss OF one
of the greatest chief magistrates, OF
which the United States has ever
boasted During his remarks, he said:
Il am glad to see the true patriotism
that now exists all over our land, that
there is no North, no South, no East
and no West, and that all rally to one
flag, when it comes to the interest or
our common country. In 1865, when
President Lincoln was assassinated,
although North and South looked to
him alike for better things, still. here
and there were those who might have
approved the assassination; but l am
glad that the time has come when all
alike are ready to join the bereaved
wife in mourning the death of the

In 1910 the people of Laurens county
met in Dublin for the purpose of hon.
oring the memory of William Henry
Harrison. who died within a few weeks
after being inaugurated as President.
1t was decided that the proper thing
to do was to go through the form OF
a burial. A coffin was made and
grave was dug. The people then re-
paired to the cemetery, where the cof-
fin was inferred with appropriate cere-
monies. 1t was probable at least two
or three weeks after the death of
Harrison that this was done, there be-
ing no telegraph lines or railroads
through the country at that time, and

The 7-year-old boy involved was re-

for a reformatory of some kind.
Muscogee county is 5000 acres short
on the tax books this year. This is be-
cause lands partly in two counties were
not given in this year in Muscogee. Re-
ceiver Henderson will seek to have a
law passed requiring all lands to be
given in for taxes in the county in
which they are actually located. Under
the present law parties owning lands
partly in two counties claim the right
to give them in for taxation in the
county of their choice. Mr.. Henderson
says this law is causing confusion and
less to Muscogee.
A peculiar accident occurred this af-
ternoon. A street car smashed a bug

water had to be cut off from the reser-
voir before the flow could be stopped.

of Mr. Charles H. Paine, who died
last Sunday night in Montgomery,
Ala, was conducted this morning from
his late residence, DR.. IA, Hardin of
Bowling Green, Ky, and Mr.. l.. j.
jackson, officiating. Both ministers
were delayed by a washout in reach
ing the city, so the hour for the funeral
was postponed. the deceased having
requested before his death that they
should be asked to conduct the ser
vices. All of the business houses
closed their doors during the funeral,
and the procession which followed the
casket to it's last resting place was the
longest that ever passed through the
streets of this city. over one hundred
vehicles being in line. The services
were very impressive, and there was
hardly dry eye in the vast crowd in
attendance. MIR. Paine was in the
prime of life, and his sudden death
was a great shock to the entire COM
munity.
The heavy rains between here and
Macon have resulted in several wash
outs on the Georgia Southern and
Florida road, and there were no trains
on that line Wednesday or Thursday,

CONSOLIDATION IN ATLANTA.
Warning street Railways Get To-
Eether After Years of Contention.

Atlanta, Sept. 20.-Telegrams have
been received in Atlanta, from New
York, to the effect that the deal be-
tween the Atlanta Railway and Power
Company and the Atlanta Rapid Tran
sit Company has been closed, and that
the Transit Company comes out Of the
encounter on top. The statements re-
ceived to this effect from the East was
believed here by those in touch with
the street railway situation, although
Atkinson, Hurt, Woodruff and Others
directly interested. deny the truth of
ne kilograms most positively.
THE Constitution, always conserva-
tive in dealing with the street rail-
way situation, will announce In the
mornings issue in large head lines,
that the deal has been contaminated,
but owing to the reticence of the local
magnates, no facts can be brought for
ward that might prove to the salts
faction of the public that the deal has
actually been consummated. 1t is
known that S. M. Inman, representing
the Atlanta Railway and Power Com
pany, and T. Jefferson Coolidge, rep
reSenting the Transit Company, held a
conference in Boston on Thursday,
and that at this conference the papers
were signed. The transfer has the ef-
feet of putting under one management
system of over 1870 miles or street
railway in the city, and giving an alb
solute monopoly to the Boston COM
pany in control. The reason for the
reticence of those interested is obvious.
If it should become known
that consolidation has taken
place special tax provided
for by the Council in such a case
would operate at once. 1t is sought to
avoid this tax, and to this end the two
companies, it is understood, will con-
tinue to work separately and for pure
ly business reasons interchangeable
transfers will be given from one to the
other. The deal is perhaps the largest
of business character in the history
of Atlanta
