is remarkable.

voice OF good power and resonance

HAS NO JURISDICTION
Court Decides That It Has No Juris-
diction in Contest on License
Vote al Farmer.

. Satu. day an interesting case
tried before Judge Smith which
brought by a. j. Taylor. OF
Farmer against Edgerton township,
Hanson county, and p. j.. Fuhrnon,
Jacob Steilen aud Spencer j. Dunn,
superviors OF that township, for
the purpose Of having the court
the ballots cast at the spring
elecllCn Cd the sale of intoxicating
llua"rs at retail, the question having
by one Or two votes.
Nv. Taylor allegded fraud in the
way the election was conducted, the
way the ballots we're cast and on the
ground that the ballots we're not
properly counted. He asked the
court through Its equity powers to
try the case. a. e. Hitchcock and
Lauritz Miller appeared for Mr..
Faylor and T. j. Spangler and Pres
ton & Hannett for the township and
the officers. The latter attorneys de-
INJURED Oh the ground that the court
had no jurisdiction TO try the case,
as there was no provision of law to
%autllorize the court. to try a contest
of this kind. This effectually euds
the case for the reason that the
courts holds that IL has no juris-
dictipn to entertain a case of this
kinn and as there is no provision OF
law for a contest the decision of the
canvassing board is final.
This use has an important bearing
on the case that has just been in
stltuted in this city on the license
question, for the reason that if the
sane ruling is made in the ..city case
it will stop all further proceedings
and no trial on the merits Of the
case will be had.
Judge Smith, it is understood,
will not try the Mitchell case, but
will call in a Judge from another
circuit, and he might take a differ
eDt view OF the case, as there is a
line of authorities on both sides of
the question as to whether or not
the court will assume Jurisdiction in
cases Of this nature.

new COMPANY m CONTROL
Electric Light and Gas Plant is Now
in the Hands of the New
Company Organized.

The Mitchell Illuminating and
Power Co. has control of the
electric light and gas plant of the
former Mitchell Gas Co.. which 1t
purchased at the receivers sale re-
Gently. The company held its first
meeting and elected the following
officers: President, d. B. Miller:
vice president, VIM. M. Smith;
treaurer, u. A. Mizener; secretary,
Henry Swindlel; manager, Fred M.
White. The board Of directors is
composed of the elected officers with
the addition OF T. j. Spangler. The
company is now Incorporated for the
sum of 5000, 600, but they will issue
at this time only BIO, 600 worth OF
stock, and will issue the balance
later when it is desired to branch
out to a greater degree.
Tie first proposition to be taken
up by the company is the erection
of its coal gas plant, aud it is ex-
pected that the contract will be
closed during the coming week. This
work viii be rushed through with
the idea OF having the plant COM
pleted within ninety days after the
contract is let. The coal gas plant
plant will be located in The imnedi.
ate vicinity of the electric light
plant. 1t will be necessary to make
quite a change in the gas mains. for
the present mains will not answer
the purpose of the coal gas.
The electric light plant will also
receive the attention of the company,
and it will be given a general owe
hauling so that it will meet every
possible requirement at the nauds of
Mitchell people. The twenty-four
hour service, which "a recently
started, will be kept 10 under the
terms OF the franchise, and it will be
the means OF aiding a numbe. of
small enterprises that require power.
Under the a new management 1t is
believed that the plant will be opei-
ated in a thorough businesslike
manner. The nen who are behind
1t are all Mitchell men. They are
interested in the growth OF Mitchell:
they are interested in seeing that the
plant is kept in condition so that iu
will bring III a revenue for the money
invested, and they are interested to
the full extent to satisfy the custo-
mers of the com pany. They will be

THE CONCENTRATING.

We trust that our friends will all be at liberty to avail themselves of the invitation to attend The Republican, house warming this afternoon and to- night Though The Republican, as all newspapers are, is a private enter prise it is so generally associated with the town and the Salt river valley by means of it's subscription list that the interest of the men, women and chil- dren of the valley in this paper is of the friendliest, if not of a proprietary character. This sentiment is recipro- cated by The Republican and it there fore desires that all may be present to- day and tonight to partake of it's hos pitality inspect it's new home and the new machinery, outward marks of its progress-and above all. to make themselves at home and feel that The - Republican is bound up with them in the future, as well as the present, of Phoenix and it's surrounding beauteous valley.

THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE"

"TaE RULE OF THE PEOPLE.
 T-nder the head of "The Rule of the People." the Rochester Democrat Chronicle comemnts as follows on federal activity in pre- convention pol itics:
 Noticing in a contemporary the phrase federal organization, now weT-nigh irresistible in its tyranny the New. York Press eXclaims Oh, shucks- and proceeds with the follow ing eminently sensible remarks on the relations of the people to persons in high official or political place:
 ".We have no sympathy with the program of the federal machine to appoint a republican candidate for the people. but if the people were de- termined to stop it that tyranny would be no more irresistible than an empty paper bag in the way of an automobile It is rediculous to picture imperial usurpation tearing the sovereignty from the bleeding hands of the peo- ple. Imperial usurpation has always followed and been consequent upon' not antecedent to, popular abdication. = If it ever should come to pass that we were writing the obituary of the republic. truth would compel us to blame not Caesar for what he had done to the people. but the people for what they had done to themselves.
 ssAH this has reference to the re- publican candidate for president to be nominated at Chicago next month. It sweeps away much malice and delusion and lays bare the cold facts of the case, to wit
 'sThe candidate will be the choice of the majority of the delegates com posing the convention. The delegates will represent the majority sentiment of the republican party in their re- spective districts"
 The Democrat Chronicle might have followed the theme a little further to assure us that the country is in no danger from federal activity, If it should turn out that the delegates in convention do not represent the ma iority of their party the party will not feel bound to ratify the act of the convention. At least the republican party did not feel so bound following the convention which nominated Pres ident Harrison the second time. Such a situation while bad for the party does not threaten the existence of the re- public but on the contrary proves the solidity of it's existence and the i'm possibility of imperial usurpation.".
