Washington, Oct. 6.-Democratic
leaders who are viewing the next cam
paign of the party with a view to
winning, are looking about for a ticket
that will arouse enthusiasm because of
the personilty of the candidate.
They admit that the civilians so far
mentioned for positions on the ticket
have not done this, and it is now
thought that an effort will be made to
have General Miles and Admiral
Schley occupy the respective places on
the ticket. 1t is thought that they
will be able to arouse the enthusiasm
of the country to the highest pitch
and in fact that the personal popu-
larity of the candidates would force the
actual issues of the campaign to the
rear. Then the Democrats hope to
WIN something from the fact that
both Miles and Schley are not kindly
disposed towards Roosevelt, and they
hope to add to the Democratic strength
that of the people in his own party
who do not like the bold and fearless
conduct of the president.

Probably the only herd of buffalo,
not now in actual captivity, and the
largest n known is that belonging to
"scotty'' Philips, a wealthy and
prominent South Dakotan. These
animals have ranged-unier the
watchful eyes of herders-for a num-
Der of years west of the Missouri riva~l
near Pierre. Last winter it was ra-
ported that n large male member of
this herd had left the range and had
come north to the edge of the Stand
ing Rock reservation, and was after
ward driven back to the herd. It is
aid that when "Scotty" Philips
brought this herd from the range to
his pasture, several of the largest,
could not be brought in. as they wohld
break through any Gordon of riders
winch would surround them. Some
OF them are vicious and it is desired
to get them out Of the way. The
matter OF a hunt for that purpose
sometime next month is being con.
sldered, and If the plan is carriHd
out 1t will without doubt be the
last buffalo hunt IN the history of
the country Buffalo Bill'' and
other prominent men will be invited
TO take part, and the hunt will be a
great attraction. A taxidermist will
accompany the party and prepare the
SKINS tor mounting, and some fine
specimens will be secured.

The cabinet while formed with a
strict adherance to public opinion, is
regarded as weak politically. 1t is
not the best talent so far as political

pressive of the present change of public

interess to the growers and shippers
are being considered, one of the most
important of which is the demand for
better grain cars. The grain men
contend that this is about the only
line of freight of any Importance that
is not provided with the very best
special build of cars. The feature
that is most interesting to the grain
growers is the effort to secure uniform
grading at all the principal grain
buying points in the country. 1t is
admitted that the raere many irregu-
larities in this matter that need re-
medying, but there seems to be no way
of reaching uniformity except by fed
eral inspection.

RUMORS OF
DROWNING
Report was Circulated that
S. R. HOke and Party May
have Met that Fate

There is a report in circulation on
the street today that it is possible
that S. r. Hoke and party of six men,
who went to raise the boiler of the
steamer Imnaha, on the upper Snake,
may have been drowned, owing to the
fact that some parties had seen an
empty boat, which had been tied up
at Asotin, and supposed to have be-
longed to the party.
The Teller has Investigated the ru-
mors and at the Office of the Eureka
company nothing was heard by them in
relation to the matter. Cash Creek"
Brown arrived in the city today and
states that he has seen no indication
of any accident up the Snake river
1t Is believed that it is impossible for
in the nature of drowning
could have occurred as the party is
equipped with two boats and word
could have been sent here without
delay, unless all We're drowned TT
doesn't seem plausible.

COURT HOLDS
Genesee Damage Case Affirmed
By the Supreme Court and
the City Again Loses

A decision of considerable import
ance to corporate cities and towns was
rendered by the state supreme court
Saturday says the Statesman, wherein
the judgment of Hon. f. c. Steele, dis
trict Judge of Latah county. was af-
firmed in the case of Hattie Carson
versus the city of Genesee, a municipal
corporation, in which suit the plaintiff
recovered damakes from the corpora
ton for injuries received while travel
ton for injuries received while travel
PENDANT corporation appealed from the
decision of the lower court and from
an order denying it new trial.
The chief contention of the corpora
ton was that the plaintiff was guilty
of contributory negligence This con-
tention was based upon the evidence of
the plaintiff wherein she testified that
she had known the sidwalk to be in
bad condition for long time and was
passing over it in the night time and
didn't evn think about those holes"
The walk, 1t was shown by the evi-
dence, was in good order upon the OPP
posiate side of the street and the re-
spondent could have reached her home
over sidewalk that was in safe con-
dition.
The substance of the appellants con-
tention on this point was: That for
the plaintiff to undertake to pass over
this sidewalk, with previous knowledge
of the defect therein, was per Sc con-

tributory negligence, and that the trial
court should have declared it SO and
taken the case from the jury.
Where City is Liable
After quoting voluHhinous authorities
bearing upon the case the court con-
GUIDED:
F'irst-Where the respondent knew
that ten days or two weeks previous
there was broken board in the side
walk and passed over the same at
nightfall and received injuries on ac-
count thereof and testified that she
didn't even think about those holes"
and that she had not been over them
for two weeks and that she was walk
ing along Just the same as anyone
would walk up street" it is held that
such facts did not as a matter of law
establish contributory negligence, but
were properly submitted to the jury
together with the other facts in the
case.
Second--Previous knowledge of
dangerous place in a street or sidewalk
is not per Sc evidence of such negli-
gence as well preclude a recovery, ex-
cept in those cases where the known
defect is so graf as TO prevent a rea-
sonably cautious person from attempt
ing to pass over such street or side
walk in any usual manner.
Third-Cities and villages incorpor.
ated under the general laws of Idaho
which grant to such municipal corpor-
atoms exclusive control over their
streets, avenues, lanes and alleys are
liable in damages for II negligent dis
charge of the duty of keeping such
streets and alleys in a reasonably safe
condition for use by travellers in the
usual modes.
Fourth-Such liability exists i'm the
absence of specific statute imposing
it.
Fifth-Such liability results from the
exclusive control granted over the
streets and the duty imposed to keep
them in repair and the power granted
to raise adequate revenue therefor.

The city fathers who met last night
held the liveliest session since the in
auguration of the new council. Con-
siderable business was transacted.
The sewer work came in for fair
share of the evenings business and
misunderstanding between Mayor
Kress and the members of the council,
ended in the mayor rendering his rosiG-
nation, but before he could leave the
council chamber the various members
of that body explained the misunder-
standing, and he was prevailed upon to
recind his action.
The dispute arose from the fact that
at some former meeting the council
and Mayor Kress had agreed that GER
tain work on the sewer grade on Pros
pect avenue, should be done by the
street commissioner and not by con-
tract. The street commissioner, Eli
Newcome resigned last night, after
which Councilman LeQuime made a
motion to have the work done by con-
tract. The rest of the members pres
ent were also in favor of this action.
Mayor Kress who opposed it, stated to
the council that this was a matter
which had been settled before and it
had been agreed to by those present.
The matter was discussed at length,
and resulted in Mayor Kress rendering
his resignation, saying that he did not
wish to further be a member of this
council
Councilmen LeQuime and Colby i'm
mediately tried to explain matters to
him with the result that a motion was
put to the clerk, and carried refusing
TO accept the resignation. After the
misunderstanding Mayor Kress acqui-
esced and the resolution was adopted.
Eli Newcome rendered his resigna-
ton as street commissioner which was
accepted and Joe Barham was appoint
ed in his place. Mr.. Newcome resigned
owing to the alleged fact that the city
failed to prosecute a case, where an
ordinance was violated by some per-
son driving over a sidewalk with
heavy team. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Newcome could not furnish the name
