County division bills are not rel
ished by the Legislature at Boise,
bills for the creation OF three new
counties, one for Roosevelt coun-
ty to be taken from Kootenai, one
Tor a Clearwater county from Nez
Perez and Shoshone, and one for
Anderson county from Bingham.
The two last were virtually killed
in the house Tuesday. The Clear,
water bill was indemnity postponed
by vote Of IS for to 80 against the
measure, and the Anderson bill BY
a vote of 20 to "a. The Roosevelt
county bill is said to be still in the
committee to which it was referred.
There IS no assurance that it has
any more likelihood OF passing
than had the others. However
that may be the Legislature will not
have done its whole duty to the
tax payers until it has crushed the
Roosevelt county bill.

CONTRACTOR ACCUSED
Of An Attempt to Bride Chief of Quart
ermaster,s Department.

Washington.-The secretary of war
has sent the treasury department a
box of cigars and 500, which was re-
ceived from the department of Texas.
1t appears that Colonel Clem, chief Of
the quartermasters department., found
the box of cigars on his desk, and,
upon opening it, discovered that it
was from contractor who was doing
some work under the supervision of
the quartermaster. In the box was
the money. The colonel was very in
dlgnant and referred the matter to the
commander of the department. Gen.
eral Fred Grant. The contractor ac-
knowleged sen ding the cigars by a
messenger boy, but said he did not
know anything about the money.
General Grant thought that under the
circumstances nothing could be done
by prosecuting the man for attempted
bribery, and sent the cigars and money
to the war department. From the
war department they were sent to the
treasury, where all unclaimed funds
are sent. The cigers were subsequent
ly sold for So and the money placed
with the 800.

LATE NEWS OF MISSISSIPPI.
How the New State House Work is Pro-
crossing.

The question is often asked as tn
when the State officers will get In tho
new Statehouse which is now nearing
completion, says Picayune corres-
pendent at Jackson. No one seems to-
know just the time that the State off,
GERS will be able TO move, bnt it seems
probable that they will be able To
transfer in few weeks. No time has
been set by the contractors for tina
turning over of the building. The
fine work is now being done on the
inside of the building. and this takes
time. 1t seems probable that the State
officers will be able to move between
the LIST and the 10th of October.
There is no special hurry to get in the
bnilding. 1t is going to take q great
deal more to keep up the new capitol
than the old one. A larger working
force will have to be employed around
the building and it seems probable
that the services of superintendent
of the building will be necessary. The
State officers are making no effort to
move just yet. The contractor Is
being in no way hurried. He is sew
eral months ahead of his contract time
for tnrning over the building, and
there is no disposition ON the part of
the Commission or any of the State Of
ficers to hurry up the contractors In
order that they may be able to get in
the building, but on the contrary the
State officers are taking things very
quietly and will move when they are
notified by the contractors that things
are in shape for the move. The new
building is ore of the handsomest
structures in the South, and everyone
connected with the State government
desires to see the work done in q
thorough manner.
