Ward and his troupe arrived on the
evening train and the Ells with car

and escorted the Minstrel boys to their
hotel. Here they did not leave them,
and when the parade was formed, the

ana and Ohio. The greatest Interest
Is taken ID their militia and the result
is that they have the finest arn0ry
\ buildings, the best equipped, drilled
and disciplined soldiers. whose effecI

worth Of public and private property,
repelled mob violence, personal De-
struction, and, in time Of war their
4 leticiency has been fully demonstrated
as fighters for Old Glory, And the req
imental bands, numbering from forty
TO sixty members each, have attained
national and international reputation
as musical organizations.
ltis not at all necessary to contrast
the difference between the National
Guard Of Mississippi and the similar
organizations of other states. 1t Is too
apparent. Everyone in this state over
fourteen years Of age knows that there
is not a separate and distinct armory
building In Mississippi, and there are
few rented armory halls large enough
for a coroprals squad to drill In. And,
Except at the time just proceeding ailH

THELITTLE MINISTER.

Last Tuesday night the Grand was
packed from center 70 circumference
TO witness the presentation Of
J. n. Barrie's comedy success, "The
Little Ninister',' So much having
been said and written OF this play,
the ordinary theatre-goer was fearful
lest It should not come up to the high
standard Of dramatic excellence
claimed for II. But not SO. The play,
which abounded in pretty scenes and
pleasing situations, 50 true to life, was
a decided success from start 70 finish.
OF course the lovers of vulgarity and
high kicking were disappointed, as
there was nothing Of this nature to be
seen or heard. "sThe Little Minister
is all that is claimed for II, b high
toned, moral play.

SIC .EM, SCOTT.

In a recent article defending. or
excusing lit amounts to the same) the
board Of ex-commissioners, the Cpeur
d'Alene Press insinuates that the Re-
publican has given these ex-Ofiicials
excellent grounds for u libel suit.
With the manner in which justic e is
dealt out to republican newspaper
men in Kootenai county still fresh
upon our mind, we are 10th to invite
trouble which court would be called
upon to settle, but we are ready atany
time to prove all the assertions made
in this newspaper, and our proof will
be in the form Of county records. Re-
ferring again to our distrust Of courts,
will say: We are always willing to
submit a case to jury of II unbiased
men, but never again, if we can help
it, shall u court be called upon to deal
out Justice (?) to us. No man who has
had the experience of having yer dict
of IL honest men set aside by Judge
will criticise these statements. But
II Editor Scott really desires to see
the ex-commissioners record aired in
court, why does he not advise these
clean (?) ex-Otficials to 60 after County
Attorney Graham who, according to
an official communication recently
published, is certainly as deep in the
mud as we are in the mire, and a lit
tie deeper, we believe. That com mu-
nication charges all that the Republi-
can ever charged and in much pla liner
English. Now, sic 'em, Scott. Turn
loose your snarly ours upon the official
who is accusing the ex-commissiohers
in his regular line Of duty. Sic EN-,

1t is stated on good authority that
A. N. Tucker of Post Falls, eX-mem-
Der from the second district of the no
torious Tucker-Dittemore-Sisson board
which is just now experiencing a lit

not overdraw their legal salaries for
two years, sent a man to Rathdrum
recently to look after his political
fences with a view to his appointment
TO the vacancy on the present board
caused by the death of j. W. Ryan.
The present board may have consider

for by Graham, and Tucker evidently
has an eye to business. But here Is a
sample OF immaculate gall which
would certainly be hard to equal. Mr..
Tucker is entitled to the palm.

DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH.

1t has been asserted that the
estate of the late J. G. Brady will net
only about 80 cents on the dollar to
his creditors. Whether these figures
are correct 1t has SO far been impossi-
BILE to ascertain, but 1t Is quite well
known that the estate will not pay
100 cents on the dollar, which is equal
70 saying that ut the time of his death
Brady was insolvent. Here is a lesson
for politicians and others, who think
possession of newspaper by man
who Is not practical printer and ex-
pericnced newspaper man, is at least
a good thing and very often a bonanza.
Every newspaper man in Kootenai
county will agree with us when We
say that the late J. G. Brady entered
the newspaper field under very favor
able circumstances, and during all the
time he was engaged in the business
had, what newspaper men generally
would consider, great ''snap' in the
way of official patronage. Yet under
his management the enterprise proved
a failure. The writer at one time adj
vised Mr.. Brady not to enter the field
of country newspaperdom, at the same
time pointing out the many pitfalls
which an inexperienced man can not

subject Of dividing the county Is up

STAMP OUT THE DRAGON.

The dastardly attempt by red
handed anarchist made upon the life
of President Mckinley, during pub
lie reception on the exposition grounds
at Buffalo last Friday, like thunder
bolt from a clear sky, came so uncx-
pectedly that many people can not yet
realize the enormity OF the crime.
The unsuspecting confidence in crowds
OF people demonstrated upon many oc-
casions by the chief executive, makes
the attempt upon his life crime at
once 80 horrible and diabolical that
the American people have been fairly
stunned.
So confident has the president been
that no harm would come to him from
such source, or any source eminat-
ing from among the people with whom
it has been his pleasure to mingle
freely, that he had upon several occas-
ions, and against the advice of those
nearest to him, refused to take the
most ordinary precautions against
such a catastrophe. And as rule the
people generally have shared in this
confidence. But there has beena rude
awakening.
The president may and doubtless
will be spared upon this occasion, but
grateful, though careless people have
been taught q lesson which may not be
In vain. In order To effectually stamp
out anarchy It Is not necessary to III
fringe upon the liberties of our people
Or the freedom Of the press There is
Il difference between liberty and H.
cense, and the American people have
been tolerating entirely too much Of
the latter. Under the mistaken idea
that all who are admitted into this
country will soon learn to appreciate its
free INSTITUTIONS and almost unbound
cd personal liberty, we have been al
lowing some foreign devils, who were
no doubt Justly banished from the
land Of their birth, to come among us,
accorded them the rights and privi-
leges which we ourselves enjoy, but
which their degenerated minds could
not appreciate, and to form secret So
cieties whose object is to conspire
against tho government, serpent-like
TO bite the hand which extended them
u welcome to our shores, and to hatch
diabOlical schemes for committing ar.

ing toward the exclusion from our
country Of foreign criminals and the
stamping out forever Of the dragon,
which has already gained a foothold
here, Is an encrOachment upon the
liberties Of a free people? Make 1t a
capital oflense for any person to en-
brace anarchy or express anarchistiS
sentiments. Our presidents and
noted public men will then no longer

TO JAIL.
A Doctor Sent There for Sending a
Claim Out OF the State tOBe
CorniSheed

] The first case on record of putting
a man in Jail for trying to co let a
| debt in this state occurred Saturday
The garnishment of wages for debt
| Was pushed to such an extent a few
years ago that it wa found to be
necessary to protect the debtor by
special laws on the subject. As it
was, the man owing the bill was too
much at the mercy Of the person he
owed, since the claim could be put in
the hands of ersons out of the city
and wLo W. re pitiless and would
hound the man they got after to the
verge of insanity or suicide. This
would be especially the case with
railroad men, who could be garnisheed
almost anywhere, and no mattershow
unjust the debt it would be cheaper
for them to settle than to lay off to
fight the case. There were two laws
passed, known as the statutes
against oppressive garnishme,Sk One
protects the person owing the ehtby
providing that claims shall not be sent
out of the state for collection
against p4rsons residing in thisn5 e.

state for the purposes of iie{tion
when ali the parties reside IN the
state, as it deprives the party owing
the debt of the right of exen ption
under the laws of the state. The
state law gives householder $500 of
exemption and provides that wages
cannot be attached unless the claim
is over $25. Prosecutor Bond says
that he is always willing to help
prosecute any who violate this law,
but that while he has had several
cases he could never get sufficient
evidence to convict and has had to
drop them. There are few states
now where the cases can be brought,
as most of the states have laws simi
lar to our own; but West Virginia
does not have these laws for the pro-
lection of debtors and one g. o.
Smith of Wheeling seems to be doing
u good deal of this class of collection,
mainly off railroaders on lines run
ming into that state.
DR.. Thomas H. Bryant, a colored
doctor, recently came here from Louis
vile. He had claim of 81. 80 against
lama Thomas, employed in the Pan
handle freight depot. Thomas claims
he has paid about half of it. The doc
tor is going away, and put the claim
in the hands of Smith for garinshe
ment. He was arrested Saturday on
complaint of Thomas. He plead
guilty, but said he had not assigned
the claim, only sent it out of the stat
for collection, and had received moth
ing. He was fined $50 and costs anu
in default of payment was sent to the
jail for 30 dayS.
