WILL NOT PAY SUGAR TAX
NO WARRANTS TO BE ISSUED
Idaho state Auditor VIII Awat. Action Of
Supreme ceart-Power Estate Lssis-
lature 70 Anthorixe Payment Of Boun
ties Mast be shown first.

State Auditor Theodore Turner has
given out the following statement:
The matter Of the payment of the
bounty upon beet sugar in conformity
to the provisions OF the act passed by
the legislature is of great importa nee
to the people Of the state. Such pay
ment would establish a precedent FIR
the payment of other bounties sfd
subsidies in future, and would impose
upon the people a burden much too
great to be assumed hastily or before
the validity Of the act is properly
determined.
Without going into the question
Of the advissbility of establishing a
precedent for the payment of bounties.
| will say that have sought and
secured the advice of competent
attorneys, both upon the general
question OF the constitutionaIity of
the act, and that of the failure Of the
sugar bounty act itself or any other
act to make the necessary appropria-
tion for the payment Of the bounty
offered. Upon each of these ques-
tions ] have received such advice as
justiiies me in refusing to issue
warrants in payment of sugar bounty
claims until the proper tribunal has
passed thereon. II, therefore, the
board Of examiners shall approve the
claims under the act, l shall refuse
to Issue warrants in payment of
same until directed to do so by
final judgment Of the supreme court.
81 have not communicated with
any Of the persons Likely TO be
claimants for the payment Of bounty.
and do not know what course such
persons will pursue upon the refusal
to issue warrants in payment Of
claims after their approval by the
board of examiners. 1t will be the
most natural for them to apply to
the proper court for a writ com
polling me to Issue such warrants or
to show sufficient reason of refusal
This is, believe. the most correct
course to pursue in securing adjudica-
tion of this matter
II have adopted this policy not
for the purpose of thwarting the will
Of the legislature, but ia order that
the power of the legislature, under
our constitution. to authorize the
payment of bounties. may be de-
termined. This is something in which
every citizen of the state is interested,
and it is my duty as an officer of the
state TO bring the matter to issue.
In order to facilitate the hearing
Of the matter. am willing to
stipulate statement of facts, thereby
making it possible to get the matter
before the court and have it adiudi-
Gated with the least possible delay. :

Perrenoud was in bed when he

was responsible for the desperate
deed. Perrenoud had been suffering
from rheumatism and pleurisy since
last August, and until recently had
been a patient at the Deaconess'
home. He returned home few days
ago. conscious that his days were

uNEARrH SEVEN SKELETON.
Makes the Eleventh Find of the Kind in
Two Year,.

While excavating at the car barn
of the Occur d'Alene L Spokane
Railway company, the workmen have
unearthed the remains of seven
human beings. They consisted of the
skulls in a good state Of preservation
and many other bones and were found
under about one foot Of earth. The
place is where one of the dives that
fiourished in the ealry days of Fort
Sherman stood aud the superstition
is that the bones are all that is left
of the soldiers who suddenly
disappeared soon after pay day and
were probably placed ON the rolls as
deserters. The mode Of burial would
indicate that the job was done in
hurry.
The skeletons were all found in
plot of ground not over thirty feet
square aud were scattered around
promiscuously. They tell the mute
story OF crimes that have remained
hidden for years.
This is the fourth find Of the kind
within the past two years. The first
was made in grading for the yard OF
the Occur d'Alene Lumber company
when two skeletons were found in
partly decayed box under few
inches of earth near where Fatty
Carroll's resort formerly stood. The
next CHASTITY discovery took place Ia
eNcavating for DIR. Scallon's block
on the corner of Fourth and Sherman
streets. These remains had also been
inclosed in box. The third
skeleton was dug up about three
months ago by the graders on tho
electric line near where il crosses the
Mullan road between town and Fort
Sherman.

A Statue Of King Cotton.

Mississippi will erect, as an inter-
esting feature of her exhibits at the
St. Louis Worlds Fair, a unique and
artistic figure in the shape of a colos-

fifty feet high in a sitting posture.
The monarch will be sitting on a
throne six feet high, mounted upon
bales of cotton and covered with per-
fectly white raw cotton. Within his

ing for the greatest agricultural pros

In an interview at Louisville, KY,
last week he said that with corn and
cotton crops the best in years and
with prices up, the growers will reap
large profits. He added:
1.-THE railway development in the
South is great. l have bad occasion
to notice every part Of the Southern
section, and am free to say thatI re-
gard it as the most prosperous portion
of our country from an agricultural
point of view. All over the country
there is a satisfactory development,

We do not believe that the welfare
of Mississippi is dependent upon any
one thing SO much as upon a syste-

a united effort to induce people from
the North and East to come in and
help US develop these resources.
This would create a demand for our
lands and other property, and these
would necessarily increase in value
until the valuation OF the real and
personal property Of our State might
be doubled within a few years. time.
