Idaho Supreme Court Refuses writ Of
Prohibition.
Boise. Idaho, Jan. l3.-The sup
RENE court on Wednesday. handed
down an opinion in the case brought
to secure a writ of prohibition against
the state board to restrain it from
making certain issues of bonds
authorized by the legislature. The
writ is denied. II is held by the
court that the writ of prohibition
will not lie against state officers TO
restrain them from performing
purely ministerial act.
In this the court overrules its
former decision in the case of Will
ans rs. Lewis after an elaborate re-
view of that case. The sugar bounty
is not touched upon in the opinion,
though il was prominent in the
application and in the argument by
Judge Quarels in support of the
application.
A number of bond issues were in
volved in the case, including those
for the state university at Moscow,
and several for bridges. The grounds
of the application was that the con-
stitution debt limit was being ex-
ceeded. Judge QuArels included the
biennial appropriations as part of the
debt. It is held by the court that
those can not be taken into considera-
ton in determining the amount Of
outstanding debt.

Amos Ackroyd for the Legislature.

The democrats of weld county this
year believe in giving the farmer a
show in the matter Of law making,
and for this reason have nominated
two stalwart and highly respected
men of this business, James Stanton
and Amos Ackroyd. OF the former
a more complete sketch is given else
where.
Mr.. Ackroyd, nominated by the
democratic county convention as the
unanimous choice of that body was
not candidate for the office until
after the convention had done It's
work. His name had perhaps not
been thought of in this connection
by more than the man who finally
placed his name in nomination.
He has not been as prominent in
Weld county politics as some candi-
dates on the democratic ticket. but
he is successful farmer. one of the
most prosperous in the county and
is highly respected wherever he
is known. He is naturally endowed
with a great fund of common sense,
and while he may not rank with
some of his opponents in his techni-
cal knowledge of law, people know
that they can depend upon him to
do what is for the best interests Of
Weld county. He has lived in the
county nearly thirty years.
The farmer interests owe to them
selves to send both Mr.. Stanton and
Mr. Ackroyd to the legislature to
give them an honest and fair repre-
sentation in that body.
The Next District Attorney.
Hubert j. Thompson. democratic
candidate for the Office of prosecuting
attorney for the Eighth Judicial dis
trict, is a young man Of good quail
itcations for the office. He was born
in Illinois and is graduate of the
Illinois Wesleyan university at Bloom
ington, H., where he finished his
course in 1895. From that time to
the present he has been practicing
law, coming to Boulder, his present
home, three years ago. He is now
member of the law firm of Eby &
Thompson, one of the most success
full in that county. During his
practice in Boulder courts. Mr..
Thompson has never lost a criminal
case that he has undertaken, and he
has handled as many as any other
Boulder lawyer. He is therefore
thoroughly acquainted with criminal
law, and will make as able pros
ecutor as defender.
Although young in appearance,
Mr.. Thompson has wife and three
children, and is really much older
than he looks. He is member of
both the, Modern Woodmen and the
Woodmen of the World.

L. c. Vanderlip.

L. c. Vanderlip, the democratic
candidate for commissioner from
district No. 13 has been a Coloradoan
since 1865, when he came to Denver
from southwestern Iowa, where he
was born five years before. He
lived with his parents in Denver for
several years, and went to school
there. In 1884 he moved to Weld
county and went into the cattle bus
mess fourteen miles southwest of
Evans. In 1894 he moved to the
town Of Evans and started his pres
ent business of blacksmith and ma
chinist.
Mr.. Vanderlip is secretary of the
Odd Fellows lodge at Evans, clerk
of the Woodmen of the World: town
clerk and secretary of school district

and makes the statement that he
has never tasted stimulants of any
kind.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with
its good qualities can be surprised
at the great popularity of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t not only
cures colds and grips etIectually and
permanently, but prevents these di-
seases from resulting in pneumonia.
1t is also a certain cure for Group.
Whooping cough is not dangerous
when this remedy Is given. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful SUBJ
stance and may be given as confident
ly to baby as to an adult. 1t Is
also pleasant to take. When all of
these facts are taken into considera-
tion it is not surprising that people
in foreign lands, as well as at home,
esteem this remedy very highly, and
very few are willing to take any
other after having once used 1t. For

AS the work of the com missioner

best man for the place, the conven-

Mr.. Thompson is a man Of mature

service as county judge was eminentiy
satisfactory both to the bar and peo-

In the time OF its need he offered

High school and later spent several
years in the Agricultural college at
Fort Collins. where he received ex-

other branches. He helped survey
the town site and was one of the

lived for nearly twenty years.
Mr.. Weller has been interested in

Petrikin & Rea and their successors,
Goodan & Phillip. One year he was
deputy county treasurer under John

brought about by the election OF
Christian A. Bennett to the district
judgeship. This gave Mr.. Weller a
familiarity with the county books,
