Frank Boyd a WiIner.

On the Bird instant the Supreme
Court of Idaho affirmed the judg-
ment of the district court for Blaine
county in the case A. j. Knollin &
Co., respondents, vs.. Il! G. Jones, ct
al, appellants. The case was
brought to recover 744f, sheep or
their value, that were sold by Frank
Boyd and G. w. Lifts to A. j.
Knollin & Co. and that were seized
by l.. c. Jones, sheriff Of Lincoln
county, under a mortgage held by
the Evans-Snider- Buel company.
The case is of much Importance.
One of the points raised in it was
with respect to the obligation of
women to serve on juries. This
point, however, is not decided.
The facts are briefly as follows:
Boyd Il Lifts had given the Evans
Snider-Buel company numerous
mortgages on several bands Of sheep.
On October %, 1898, they gave a
mortgage covering $4,000 head.
Part of these sheep were sold to
Knollin & company at different
times, the 7441 over which this case
arose being sold April IA, 1899.
On May 4 the sheriff seized the
sheep under the mortgage. After
reciting the facts, the opinion of the
supreme court says in part:
The only important question of
fact in this case and to which the
evidence pointed and was directed,
is whether said sale was made by
Boyd & Lifts to Knollin & compa-
ny, with consent of said Evans
Snider- Buel company. There are
many letters in the record from
said Evans Snider- Buell. company,
to said Boyd & Lifts during the ex-
istence of the prior mortgages, urg
ing said Boyd & Lifts to sell sheep
covered by said mortgages in order
to meet their obligations to said
Evans-Snider- Buel company, Sc
cured by those mortgages. This
evidence shows a willingness on
the part of said mortgage to have
the mortgaged property sold by the
mortgagors, said Boyd q Lifts, and
the latter did at different times sell
quantities of the sheep so mort
gagged, accounting to said mortgage
for the purchase price OF the sneep
so sold"
The entire decision is too lengthy
for these columns, but the above is
sufficient to remove a cloud from
the acts of our fellow-townsman,
Frank Boyd. The decision con-
cludes as follows:
"For the reasons herein stated,
the order denying the motion of
the appellant for new trial, APP
pealed from, is hereby affirmed,
with costs of appeal to the respond

Fred Dubois Senator.

In Boise, at 3 o'clock Monday
morning, Fred T. Dubois was unan-
imously nominated for United
States Senator by joint caucus Of
the Democrats, Populists and Sill
yer Republicans-39 in all--there
being four absent.
After the vote had been taken the
legislators filed to Mr.. Dubois head
quarters in the Capitol hotel and
notified him of the result. Mr.. Du-
bois responded briefly. He said he
thanked his friends from the bot
tom Of his heart. He continued:
This action signifies to me a united
party in Idaho. (Great applause)
Upon one banner the reform forces
will march on to continued victory.
The Republican party has reached
a condition where no honest man
who has the best interests of his
country at heart can afford to sup
port it. For myself hope l may
never live to see the time when that
party shall be victorious in this
state" This was greeted with lus-
ty cheers.
The joint caucus sent the follow
ing to w. ]. Bryan at Lincoln, Neb:

The Legislature.

The Anti-Fusion wiseacres, who
foretold at the beginng of the last
campaign, that fusion would be a
failure, have turned out to be
stuffed prophets, as the action of the
members of the State Legislature,
representing the allied silver forces,
in the joint caucus, at an early
hour last Monday morning, does
not accord with the clairvoyance of
these gifted (2)political seers. The
caucus on Monday morning at 3
o'clock, Of the Democratic, Populist
and Silver Republican senators and
representatives was most agreea-
BILE affair Nothing occurred to dis
turb the harmony OF the the gather
ing. The. distribution of the legisla-
tive positions among these three
parties was entirely satisfactory and
acceptable to all. The nomination
of the coming U. s. Senator to sue
coed Shoup came up for action in
the caucus and Hon. Fred t. Du-
bois, the silver champion, was the
unanimous choice of the caucus, as
the man most worthy of, and fitting
for the position. end there was no
dough" in distribution, the influ-
ence of the sack of shekels availing
not.
In the caucus, Gilmore county
was allotted the committee clerk
and one page in the lower house;
Miss Lille B. Nichols of Glenn's
Ferry being awarded the clerkship,
and Master Granville Howeth of
ours the pages position.
Hon. j. A. Purtill of ours worked
hard and faithful to secure this
honor to Gilmore. ably seconded by
Hon. w. A. Davis. Hons. K. l. Per-
ky and Martin King spared neither
influence Lor efforts among the
members to secure the same object.
The speaker of tine house, Hon.
Glenn McKinlay, is son of Hon.
A. D. McKinlay, of Shoshone coun-
ty, who was chairman of the Popu-
list state convention, and the young
est member OF the house, being only
% years old. He served creditably
as a private in the 1st Idaho, du-
ring the Spanish-American war.
His election, and that of his col
leagues Haney and Kelly, ex-pris-
oners in the bull pen, as well as the
election of Senator Moody over DR..
France, the Grand Boss of thew ard
ner Bull-pen, the "Andersonville of
the North" is forcible protest Of
the people of Shoshone county
against the existing conditions of
militarism, marshal law, and the
infamous permit system" now in
force in that county. The election
of Private Glenn McKinlay to the
exalted position of speaker of the
house of representatives means more
than the election Of presiding Off
cert means, and is a protest by
the people of our state through
their Representatives assembled,
against the deplorable conditions
today existing in the Occur d'Alene
country under color of the law.

For about two months past a
corps of railroad engineers have been
engaged in surveying for change
of route from Malad bridge station
to Mountain Hopein Lincoln and
Elmore counties. The object of
the proposed change is to avoid two
of the heaviest grades on this side
of the Rocky mountaineering
Hill and Medbury Hill, both grades
now necessitating the use of helpers
even with ordinary trains. The
change would eliminate both Bliss
and Glenn's Ferry from the railroad
map, the latte, now being a freight
division point.
Those who ought to know say
the change will be made next sum.

About Advertising.

printers Ink" gives the following
advice to advertisers:
If you need advertising at all you
need it during the dull spell that al
ways follows the holiday season. That
is the time when you must get bust
ness by the proper advertising of good
values. II you do not happen to have
any particularly good values you can
well afford to make some by choosing
few well known articles, and putting
price upon them that will be recog-
nized by every reader as very low
price.
This is the accepted time for in
yentory sales and for sales of white
goods, such as are held in all the
larger cities, and which can be dupli-
Gated on somewhat smaller scale in
any town that is large enough to sup
port dry goods store.
Don't think that there is no use in
pushing for business. Don't get an
idea that people stop buying goods
with the passing OF Christmas. There
are many wants that must be suppl ed,
and the merchant who uses his adyer-
Using space to tell how well and how
cheapiy he can supply these wants is
the one who will earn worthwhile
business.
The beginning of the new year is a
very good time TO get new customers
started with you. The new customer
who begins the new year with you is
likely to be your customer throughout
the year, if your goods and prices
compare favorably with those of your
competitors. The fact that your com
petitor discontinues his advertising, oil
very greatly decreases it, Immediately
after the holidays is the very best reas
on in the world why you should moi
do SO.
A bright, aggressive advertisement
bristling with prices and full OF good
sensible talk, will get more attention
at this season than at almost any
other, simply because there are so few
other good advertisements to contrast
with it.
Don't sit down and wait for thu
coming OF buster season, but nun
around the store for good things tina
you can offer at bargain prices, ant
, tell about it in your newspaper.

That Smallpox Cure.

Hon. Arthur Pence informs US
that many people in the Bruneau
section have tried the recipe "Sure
Cure for Smallpox" published in
the BULLETIN few months ago
among them three of his own fami-
ly-that it is all it claims to be, a
sure and speedy cure. 1t also cures
scarlet fever. We reproduce the
recipe and advise our subscribers
to preserve it:
"Sulphate OF zinc, one grain; dig
tails, one grain; sugar, one half tea
spoonful. Dissolve in wine glass
of soft water or water that has
been boiled and cooled. Take a
teaspoonful every hour. Either
smallpox or scarlet fever will dis
appear in twelve hours. For chill
dren the dose must be diminished
according to age. Ii countries
would compel their physicians te
use this treatment there would b.
no need of pest houses. If you val
ue your life use this recipe"

What He Owes the Country,
From the Roanoke Times.

President Rooseveits determination not
to allow secret service other agents to
see to his safety when he is moving about
Is all very pretty and under some circum-
stances would be admirable, but ii is not
sensible. His faith in the people is net mis-
placed, but it should be remembered that
there are those among US who are not of us
and who are sufficiently debased to desire
the death of any man whom we may place
over us. II is not from his people that the
President of the United States needs pro-
lection, but from those who are not his
people. President Garfield and President
Mckinley had the same simple and high
minded faith in the honesty of purpose of
all corners, but it has been shown that
their faith was abused. AS has been said
the President owes more to the country
than he does to his own private sentiment
~ regard to such matters. President
Roosevelt is making grave mistake In GO
ing about unattended. He is in himself
able perhaps to cope with any assailant
who might attack him openly, but there are
enemies who do not thus attack. 1t is the
coward who strikes without warning or
from behind who is to be feared.

given Hawaii an excellent administration
from the outset, when he undertook the
dangerous and difficult task of governing
as president of the provisional republic, to
the present time, through all the menaces
and changes which have visited the islands.
He has held his head high above scandals.
has striyen against tremendous odds for
progress and finally in the days-ef the dis
graceful native-led legislature he saved the
territory from bankruptcy and confusion by
bravely veteing the nonsensical and dam
gerous measures passed by that absurd
body.
President Mckinley fully understood the
reasons why it was essential to the well
fare of Hawaii that the anti-Dole faction
should not be encouraged. He appreciated
Mr.. Dole at his true worth and sustained
him in mis- struggles against the adverse
elements. President Roosevelt is not likely
to be misled now by clamor against the
governor who has steered Hawaii through
the tortuous channels of revolution, intrigue
and annexation. If he examines the record
and consults with those who are familiar
with the situation he will learn that the
issue which Judge Humphrey seeks now
to raise is ene of personal preferment in
volving serious choice of policies. He
will find that Governor Dole represents the
safe elements in Hawaii, which snatched
the islands from monarchical corruption,
and if supported will save them from ma
tive corruption and Incompetence now. The
American-born politicians who are now
seeking to secure the upper hand would
soon precipitate a personal issue of an
other sort. They would utilize the ignorant
Kanakas to further their own ends and to
ruin their enemies
Hawaii is too promising territory to be
reiegated now to the limbo of political
squabbles. 1t has within it the possibili-
ties of a rich. prosperous. happy commu-
pity, when the unrest caused by the revo-
luton and the annexation has been quieted.
The best way to reach that end is to utilize
the elements which have thus far saved
Hawaii from disgrace and disaster and to
ignore those whose tendencies are destruc-
tive and retrogressive.

The suffrage problem continues to puzzle
the Virginia statesmen 1t was the cause
Of the calling of the constitutional cenwen-

ssnted after the organization of the con-
Ncntion had been effected. The committee

with Senator Daniel at their head. and yet
at the end of three months the result IS
divide d committee and several extremely
complicated propositions. No report of any
sort has as yet been made.
If this suffrage committee had had in
view the simple proposition of intelIi-
gent suffrage Its labors would long since
have been over. Ignorance is not of any
particular race or creed. and to be dealt
with effectively it must be tackled with
out regard to extraneous considerations
If the ignorant man is unworthy of the

on that score and admit the white man?
If the one is approachabe on the side of
corruption so is the other likely to be; and
if the real object is to reduce the ma
tcrial upon which corrupt politicians rely
the more thorough the reduction the better
But the difficulty at Richmond springs
from an effort to do forbidden thing by
ind.reCtiOn. The real object Is not to elm
fnate ignorance from the suffrage equation,
but to cut the negro off without subjecting
the state to the penalty prescribed by the
Constitution of the United States. 1t is
impossible to conceal this. and In some
quarters no effort is made to do so. Here
and there may be found a party leader. or
newspaper frank enough to confess to
the programme, and to advise it's carrying
out even at the cost of the reduction OF
the states strength in the electoral college
and in the national House of Representa-
tives But the convention is trying to find
a way around the difficulty. and hence the
confusion of tongues and the time en-
ployed in conferences and discussions.
There is little reason to suppose that the
present situation in Alabama will influence
the Richmond convention on this subject,
but it so happens that a juggle with the
suffrage in Alabama somewhat similar to
that now in contemplation in Virginia has
created a division in the democratic party,
ratification of the new Constitution just
completed for the former state. This
movement is led BY Ex-Governor Johnston
and ex-COngressman Shelley. and whether
il wins or loses 1t marks a protest on the
part of men who have always been demo-
Gratis against the effort TO create partisan
ma jorities by law.
