Missoury in Trouble.

Mr.. Editor-I came here from
Missoury last year to engage in an
occupation likely to bring me be-
fore the courts, and sized up the
situation, to my satisfaction, that I
wanted to look out for Judge Bone
brake and Judge Jaques. Now 1
don't know where I am at, and
want to be showed. l went to my
friend Billy, the marshal, and asked
Billy how this town stood judicially
in this year of our Lord 1908.
Billy said: "We have got probate
judge, justices Of the peace Bone
brake, Jaques, Col. Vineyard and
Capt. Woodward-a defeated can
didate for supreme court judge and
the same for district Judge, nine
republican candidates for Judge if
the present incumbent legislature
makes q new district and % law
yers in town." And says: 1.-THE
devil, you have: What show do
us people have?" And Billy says:
"You had better skin out. Last
year there was Grangeville pre-
cinct; now there are North and
South Grangeville precincts, and
the late election did the rest"
Then l began to think hard OF
government by injunction and
things, and life didn't seem 30 gay.
l went up to the court house and
looked at the record OF the county
commissioners for July last, and
found that Grangeville election pre-
cinct had been cut in two, but the
justice of the peace precinct had
not been monkeyed with. Then l
born owed the political annotated
code, which the legislature is a.
fighting, and finds sec. 1885, sub
div. 2 and 8, and finds that an cleo
ton precinct and justice OF the
peace precinct are entirely separate
and distinct; that at the last elec-
tion here no justice of the peace
was elected, but that Judges Jaques
and Bonebrake hold over because
their successors are not elected and
qualified. Then how are cases
headed North Grangeville precinct,
etc, when the justice precinct has
never been changed? I want to
know where l stand, judicially
speaking, and would like for you
or the % lawyers to tell me. And
will the county commissioners dis
prove the bonds Of these four men
who think they are justices, when
they are not. except as aforesaid?

Our County Debt.

Since the question of forming a
new county has come up a great
deal has been said about the COM
parative Indebtedness of the several
counties interested, and most of
the statements have been far from
correct. A. w. Talkington wrote
and has just received from the state
auditor statement of the financial
condition OF Idaho, Shoshone and
Nez Perce counties at the time of
their last annual report, April,
1902. At that time the bonded
and floating debt was: Shoshone
S29S, 952 80, Nez Perce S161 ,O0O. 81,
Idaho $43, 395.31 Idaho county
has greatly reduced her debt dur
ing the past year, as probably the
others have, but under the most
favorably conditions Shoshone still
would owe seven times as much
and Nez Perce four times as much
as Idaho.

'OUT In THE STREETS"
Drama Was Successfully Pre-.

DENVER, Idaho, Jan. 21.-An
audience that taxed the seating. ca
pacity of our school hall and the
largest that ever was accOmmO-
dated here witnessed the drama,
"Out in the Streets" last Saturday
evening. Everybody conceded it
a grand success and complimented
our local talent upon the fine rem
dering of their parts. The people
of Denver are especially grateful to
all who took part in this affair as
it netted neat sum to the school
district for building sidewalks. OF
special mention was the singing by
Mr.. and Mrs. Kessler and Miss
Hattie Kessler. All did so we'll in
the drama that we would be at
loss to specify any special feature.
The acting Of James Kessler as
Colonel Wayne was superb and
realistic. The other characters
supported it SO we'll an outsider
would have thought we had an i'm
ported troupe for the occasion.

they are all against it and the plan
has been abandoned. In fact, it is
extremely doubtful if any new
counties are created in any part OF
the state, much less the new county
as proposed by the Nezperce people.

Court Finds the Contract Binding Upon
the Village by the Statutes
Of 1887.
Let OF 1893 is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Effort Will Be rlade to Have Appeal
Heard at March Term Of Su.
preme Court.

Judge Steele has rendered a de-
cision in favor of w. M. Jack in
his suit against the village of
Grangeville for money due for sup
plying water. The trouble arose
last spring when the village coun-
Gil, upon the advice of attorneys,
refused to pay for water, it being
held that nuder the laws OF this
state water companies must furnish
water for city purposes free Of
charge. The judgment has not yet
been entered, but Judge Steele has
notified the attorneys in the case
of his decision as follows:
Moscow, Idaho, Jan. Is, 1903.-
In the case of w. M. Jack Va. Viii
lage of Grangeville, the court finds
the contract in controversy binding
upon the village by virtue OF the
statutes of 1887.
The statute passed in 1893 con-
cerning powers Of village organiza-
ton and government is unconstitu-
tional, thus leaving in force the
statutes which were in existence
prior thereto. The court finds the
contract at bar is expressly author
lied by the statute of 1887. The
plaintiff has shown no facts to war
rant the village entering into a con-
tract for water for the general well
e., ,.., %b, ~ l.;
The plaintiff is entitled to judg-
ment for the amount of monthly
payments sued, for and shown to
be due. EDGAR G. STEELE,
District Judge.
The case will be immediately APP
pealed and an effort made to have
it heard at the March term of the
supreme court.

Y.1.C. 1. Building Was Thronsed From
Early Evening Till Nearly
Midnight.
ENTERTAINED BY LADIES' AUXILIARY
Some Classes Have Begun Their Ath-
letlc Studies-Descripti0n of
the Interior.

The new Y. NJ. c. A. building
was officially opened to the public
last Saturday. The ladies' auxil-
iary entertained the visitors with
light refreshments. The popular
sentiment in favor Of this institu-
tion could not be more fittingly dis
played than by the large crowds
that thronged the building from
early evening until nearly mid
night. Ample entertainment was
provided in the way of games. In
the gymnasium the apparatus was
kept almost constantly in use, the
principal event being an impromptu
game Of basket ball between teams
composed Of young ladies.
The building was brilliantly
lighted throughout with electric
lights and presented a pleasing
picture from the outside. Enter
ing the building from the main
porch you step inside a large hall
way. To the left as you enter is
the general secretary's office and
free public library. The book
shelves are already well stocked
and many more books were donat-
ed by visitors. 1t is proposed to
make this free library where any
one living in or near Grangeville
can draw q book without charge
unless the book is kept longer than
two weeks, when 5 cents a week
will be charged. On the right of
the hall is the reading room for
men only. This is the largest room
in the building with the exception
Of the gymnasium hall. 1t is pro-
vided with large tables where is
kept a supply of newspapers and
magazines, also desks and station
cry for letter writing. Adjoining
the mems room is another large
room for boys which is we'll sup
piled with books, games, writing
desks, easy chairs and q sofa.
The rear of the building COM
prises the locker and bath rooms
and boiler room opening from the
stairs leading to the gymnasium.
The entire upper story is devoted
to the gymnasium with a good
sized stage for socials and enter
tainments. The floor is smoothed,
oiled and free from all Instructions
and is furnished with a splendid
equipment of apparatus consisting
OF everything usually found in a
gymnasium.
There will be classes for business
men, young men, boys, ladies and
girls. Some have already secured
their athletic suits and are ready
to begin work. Apart from this
DIR. Green has his dental parlors
and living rooms on the lower
floor. He will act as secretary and
physical trainer free of charge, and
it has been largely through his un-
firing efforts that the building was
constructed.
The Grangeville association owns
the building and site which, with
equipment, has already cost them
nearly $4,000, and it is hoped they
will enjoy steady growth and
keep pace with our prosperous, en-
terprising little city.

Guilty in Securing Harmony.
oyster Bay, n. Y. Aug. l9.-What
might be described as a blighung frost
has struck the elastic currency scheme.
Negotiations for harmony between the
various schools of iinanciers in the pro-
posed legislation at the extra session OF
congress have been so distinctly disap-
pointing that ii is not certain the presi-
dent in his message will mention this
subject as one requiring immediate at
tention.
Since the visit of the members of the
ub-comtittee of the senate finance
committee to Sycamore Hill last week
no advance has been made by the COM
mittee and ground has been lost by the
advocates of any elaborate bill revalnp-
ing the currency system. Emphatic OPP
position has developed in unexpected
Quarters and in addition TO this the
conservative business men and imam
GERS. who were not expected either TO
favor or to oppose the legislation, are
out in opposition. A wet blanket has
fallen on the project and unless it Is
simpified, cleared up and popularized
there will be no currency legislation at
the extra session of congress ana per
haps none at the regular session.
Added to the other difficulties of the
currency reformers, it is reported there
is wide disagreement among the sena-
tcrial currency tinkers. This, 1t is said,
is much more difficult of reconciliation
than was supposed. The committee,
which recently labored IT the home OF
