Homestead Law Amended.

Word has been received at the local
land Office that the law providing for
DOMINATING homesteads had been
amended and that the homesteader must
pay $375 per acre if he wishes to COM
mute. The new law was passed in Janu-
airy, 1891. and has been in effect since
January 26. 1901. All communications
made subsequent to that date on the Neg
Perce reservation the entryman must pay
1915 per acre. On all other Indian re-
servae1ons the price paid must be the
pr'se per acre fixed by the act under
which the land became subject to home
stead entry. An inquiry at the land de-
partment discloses the fact that fifty CON-
mutations have been made since January
2o' 1901, and these homesteaders will
have to pay an additional $2. 50 per acre
to perfect their final proofs.

why Eli Perkins will be in Lewiston on

has secured his services and depends
upon our patriotic citizens for a liberal
support. The general admission is fifty

forth in the opinion, by Chief Justice
Quarles, which is as follows:
"This proceeding was commenced in
this court to obtain q writ Of review to
bring into this court and review the
action Of the Justices court OF Lewiston

an action commenced in said Justices
court by one d. H. Spencer, IT,, as

recover adebt. in which action. Judgment
was rendered in said Justices court in
favor Of said plaintiff therein and against
the said petitioner for the sum of $256 so.
By agreement Of parties the writ issued,
and return made thereto. The petitioner
moved for an order requiring the defend
ant to amend his return to the writ. so a.
to bring into this court the pleadings and
all OF the proceedings in said Justices
court. The petition for the writ alleged
that an application for writ Of review to
review the action of the said Justices
court had been made to the district court
OF the Second judicial district, in and for
Nez Perce county, and by said district
court. Both parties here admit that an
application was made to the said district
court for writ Of review and that said
writ was issued by the said district court,
aud that upon hearing the proceeding
upon the return to said writ, the said dis
trict court affirmed the Judgment Of the
said Justices court.
I'VE must quash the writ issued by this
court, and dismiss the proceedings for
the following reasons, to.w wit:
First. This court has no jurisdiction to
review, by certiorari, q Judgment of the
justice ofthe peace.
Second. The remedy of the plaintiff
is by appeal from the Judgment Of the
district court affirming the judgment of

Under our constitution and laws this
court may review any order of Judgment

be had in district court to review a
judgment of 4 Justices court when it is
claimed the Justices court acted in excess
of jurisdiction or without Jurisdiction.
And in such proceeding the final judg-
inent of the district court is appealable to

place, said Monday in regard to the report
Of the consolidation Of the Atchison, Topeka

1t is possible that the large stockholders

When asked about the report thai the
Santa Fe would shortly declare a 4 per cent

warrant such a dividend. but that the mat
ter of declaring 1t would rest with the

fatal rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies which
give relief, yet there is but one which not
only gives instant relief. but at the same
time makes a permanent cure. and that is
the ~well-known Pyramid Pile Cure.
