registering for different reservations
put no person can appoint more thar
one agent for the same reservation and
no agent can register for more than
one soldier for any one reservation. A
dlHerent and separate power of attor-
ney must be given for each reservation
TO the same or different persons.
PoWers OF attorney must be sworn to
by soldiers, sailors, their widows or
minor orphant children, or their guard
lans, before some officer having a seal
and authorized to administer oaths at
some place within the United States
and the name of the agent must be
written into the power of attorney be-
fore 1T is sworn to by the soldier. The
application for registration presented
by the agent must be sworn to by him
at registration point for the reserva-
mon for which he registers.
All applications for registration must
reach me through ordinary mail at
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, before August
9Th, and all of the envelopes received
prior to that date which contain appli-
cations for regitration will then be
thoroughly mixed and envelopes will be
selected therefrom indiscriminatelv.
one at a time, and the applications
therein numbered as selected. The
numbers thus assigned will control the
order in which entries may be made:
For instance, the person whose applica-
tlon is numbered one will be given the
first choice of all the lands subject to
entry in the reservation for which the
application was presented, the person
to whom number two is assigned will
be given the second choice, and so on,
AS soon as numbers are assigned in
this manner, notices giving the num-
bers assigned will be mailed to the ad-
dress given in the applications for reg
istration, and in cases where applica-
tions are presented by agents, notices
will be mailed to both the agents and
and the persons by whom they were
appointed.
Persons who register should be care
full to give in their applications for reg
istration the post-office address (includ-
ing street numbers) to which they de-
sire their notices mailed, and if they
change their addresses after registra-
ton, they should request the postmast-
er at the addresses given in the appli-
cations to forward their mail to their
new addresses. Numbers will not be
assigned to greater number of per-
sons than may be reasonably expected
to induce the entry of all the tracts
subject to entry, and no notice will be
mailed to any person to whom a num-
Der is not assigned. All envelopes not |
selected will be opened and the appli-
cations therein carefully scrutinized,
and if it is found that any person has
presented more than one application,
he will be denied the right to make
entry under any number assigned to
him.

Employees of the Lewiston Nat
iOnal Bank Make Away With
$4,000 of Bank Funds in Last
Five Years.

The news became public at
Lewiston Tuesday of defalcations
in the Lewiston National bank to
the amount of $137, 900. 1t seems
the thefts of money from the
bank extended over a period of
five years and no large sums
were taken at any time. Clarence
Robnett, late book-keeper of the
bank, and j. E. Chapman, late
teller of the institution, were the
employees concerned in the deal
and it seems that Robnett secur-
ed most of the money to specu-
late on. The stockholders of the
bank made good the shortage out
of their personal accounts as soon
as the shortage was discovered
and the bank did not lose any
through the defaulting employees.
Robnett is said to be in the east
and has confessed to having
taken funds from the bank while
Chapman denies any completely
in the theft. AS both men were
backed by bonding companies
the bank will be able to recover
most Of the money it has lost.

the scene of railroad right-of-
way struggle was made apparent
tonight when it was learned that
several Northern Pacific attor-
neys had arrived in the city today
with papers in this move. There
IS no doubt as to the authenticity
OF the news. The fight is on be-
tween the Northern Pacific on
one side and the Hartman and
Milwaukee on the other to secure
a railroad through the Lolo pass
from Missoula to the agricultural
and mining districts of eastern
Idaho.
THE fight for this territory
bids fair to become equally as hot
as the fight of two weeks ago be-
tween Hill and the Milwaukee
for possession of a right of way
in northern Montana and south
ern Canada, at which time the
attorneys for each side were
chasing each other to the court

THE conviction of ex-Sheriff
Hartnett at Dover last week was
not unexpected, and he has the
sympathy of greater part Of the
people of all parties. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that he permitted to
be practiced what all sheriffs for
twenty years past, with the excep-
ton of one, INDUCED in but, even
with that precedent, there is no way
to make right out Of wrongful
transactions. The conviction will
efectually break up a practice of
commitments to our county jails
which have resulted in scandals for
both political parties, and for that
it will be beneficial to the
people. We further believe that it
will cause both parties to place
men in nomination for county
above and beyond the in
Auence Of men cunning in graft
methods, and who lead innocent |
men into methods of pro-
ceedure which may blight their en-
tire future. That the court be.

nocent victim of bad advisors, was
shown by the omission Of impriso-
nent, and the imposing Of fine

The retirement of DR.. Hiram r.
Burton as a member of Congress,
will be received with much regret
by his many friends and the State

played in the three counties of this
State prevented his denomination,
but that fact cannot be construed
as any exhibition of dissatisfaction
on the part Of the people with his
career as a Congressman.
On all occasions DR.. Burton has
been attentive to Delaware. He
has looked after the interests of the
State and has made a very credi-
table representative. In the fight
for the ship canal and for the i'm
provement Of our water ways he
has always been in the front rank.
So far as within his sphere of activ-

THERE appears to be a general
effort on the part ofthe Democratic
party, to force all charges ofbribery
to trial before the judges, for the
purpose Of demoralizing the Re
publican organization, and leaving
to the Democrats the field for a
clean sweep at the next general
election. 1t is generally believed
that the Democrats in Kent County
at the last election used far more
than double the amount Of money
TO carry that county, than the Re-
Publieans expended for all purpos-
es. These facts surely can be pre-
sented to the court, and if the At

sire to set themselves above the

honestly desire to ehectually put a

Born parties had in their plat
form pledges that they would enact
laws favorable to building good
roads in Delaware, but as yet,
nothing has been done towards
agreeing on a plan. Each legisla-
Tor has an idea as to how the
roads should be built, and from the
multitude of opinions nothing has
evolved. It strikes the average
man, that what the Legislature
should do is to provide law and
express an opinion as to what ex-
tent the roads are to be built, and
in that law create a State Road
Commission with power to employ
engineering ability to
evolve a general plan to build the
roads economically as possible,
with the point ever in view, OF per-
manency. There is only a short
time left in which to act in, but the
people want the roads, and they
will hold their representatives in
The house and SeEate responsible.
