 We notice that Memphis offered two million bones for Willum Jennings Bry- an, and there air sum unkind enough to say that Wfllum Jennings is dead one, just because he has been licked few times for offs. I tell you Willum Jennings is live wire yet. Enny man that pulled off the stunts he has by simply being sum long on fervid talk is newer out of it. Back in 1896 Will fHm was nuthdng but an obskure con eressman and not such a loud fuss at that in his district, but he hikes up to the natsional conversion of the demo- cratic party at Chicargo, and makes few fmprompture and perfectly proper remarks about the Gross of gold, and Crown of thorns'' and puts mise new collar on that bunch of onions, and tags 1t w. J. B." and he has put in most of the time since leading sed bunch round with a string. That year Willum maid spesialty of grabbing nomina- eions for the presidency. Evvery sim gle one in the country that was not working. was handed ovver to Willum, and he got 'em all but one-the repub- iicons, and they would have handed there's ovver but they forgot 1t. That was fatal ovversite too, for Wlllum. for in spite of all the rest he had, the republicans succeeded in putting a juicy orimp in his running geer, and beet him out by nose.
 But willum is rite hard to discourage, he has run few times since then, and is 1iabm to run sum moor just to keep in practice. But his reel long suit is orratory. AS an orrator. Willum has Svvery utfer aspirant dashed to the mast. The record of Patrick Henry looks like a fried shoe sole when put long side wnlum's. and as for Demos shannees, his seconds threw up the epunge and took to the woods long ago. In two respects W5llurn is Verry. very much Ike Henry Clay, the first is; that Henry Clay newer was preS1d ent. neether was WEls1n. and the second is Henry Clay never will be.

common folks rite on the jump by say not have enough mummy. and that we must provide for the free and unlimited coinage of spoons, knives and forks and enny old thing that was handy, and pre- pare circulating medium that was sum slouch as circulator. Willum declared that the gold drifted into the hands of few sharks that put in ovver time set ting on the lid so the common peepul couldn't get at it, and that was no joke Willum got off eether. Willum sed in order to buy things, and pay debts fell lew must have munny-that's common cents, and in order to get mummy one must work, and there's no cents in that, If you can avoid it, therefore, free coin age. If 1t could have been fixed so evvery body could vote rite aftur hearing Willum speek it would have been possession, for there's nuthing to it, Willum could sertainly whoop 'em up sum, and there never was man that would not have voted for him in ten minnits aftur hear ing him spout, but if he waited till next week, he'd go vote for the uther feler;
 the truble with Wilum was he could not
 be at moor than one plase at time But one thing Willum must have credit for, and If for nuthing else a monumint as high as the Brown-Marx bilding ought to
 be erected to him for sed service; he killed the populite party as ded as Tort
 Payne and that was afgrate stunt. Back
 in 1896 when 1t was a Dad day when Will
 lum didn't get nominated, the populites
 were sum husky, and had enough mem-
 bers in Congress to get the ''inisiative and
 referendum on the calender. and if they had all got a shave and a hair cut at the same time 1t would have run the
 prise of hay down in Urope; well the
 nominasions were cumming so thick and
 fast on Willum that the populites wanted
 to get on the band waggin, and sed me too and proceed to nominate Willum, and immediately thereafter Thomas Watsun as V. P. and then they turned up there

Austria In a case tried in the courts Of Vienna a wife, Frau Hermann, suspect ing her husband of infidelity, took his keys out of his pockets one night and when he was asleep, unlocked his writing table and opened a sealed letter, which she found addressed to another woman. The contents were eliminating, as the let ter appointed a rendezvous, and on the strength of evidence gained in this way the wife brought an action against the other woman The husband says the "Standard,'' retaliated by prosecuting his wife for violating the secrecy of private correspondence" a serious offence under Austrian laws The court was obliged to find the wife guilty, but imposed a sem tence of only one weeks Imprisonment, her jealousy justifiiable as an extenuat- ing circumstance.

". ". ,. CO. FILES SUIT
To Restrain KOotenai County
Assessor.
CASE IN FEDERAL COURT
Suit May Affect Cash Valuation
Plan.

The Washington Water Power
company last week filed suit in the
United States district court against
kootenai county and Fred E.
Wonnacott as assessor and ex-
officio tax collector. to set aside
the assessment for taxes on the
company's property in kootenai
county. The court is asked to
grant writ restraining the county
authorities FROM proceeding any
further.
1t appears from the allegations
of the company that the amount in
controversy is approximately $12,-
900. The full assessment for
taxation is about $24, 900. The
company has paid into court about
$11, 900, which it prays shall be
made payment in full for its taxes
in Kootenai county, and asks that
the tax collector be prohibited
from collecting any more.
The Washington Water Power
company bases its action on
alleged inequality OF assessment
for taxation 1t AYERS that It's
property is assessed 100 per cent
of its full cash value and charges
explicitly that all of the rest of the
property in kootenai county is
only assessed at from 10 to 80 per
cent of its full cash value.
This suit is expected to have
far-reaching effects, in that every
foreign corporation may follow the
example set by the Washington
Water Power company by filing
action in the federal court to sci
aside assessments for taxation in
all counties where corporations
| may claim that their property has
been assessed at full cash value,
while other property has beer
assessed at less than 100 per cen
of its value.

VILLAGE levy Is Mills
On Last Years Assessed Valu-
alton.
MAY REDUCE IT LATER
New Reservoir Costing More
Than Estimated.

The village trustees passed Ordin-
ance No. 46, called the annual ap.
preparation bill. providing for ap-
propriatiDg $l95O to defray the
necessary general expenses and LA.
billties OF the village for the fiscal
year ending the first Tuesday in May,
1912, and levying q tax of Is mills to
raise the amount of money needed.
The levy Is on last years valuation
OF $4,000, which, 1t is expected,
may be quadrupled by the cash value
assessment plan this year and raise
four times as much money as intended.
However, the law makes it necessary
to dx the levy on the last years
valuation, and 1t is thought the
board can adjust the matter by re-
ducing the levy after the county
board of equalization meets. The
purposes Of the appropriation Of
$l95O are:
Salaries OF officials $l70. 90
Fire, light and water 695. So
Current expenses 334.48
Interest on bonds 10000
The water rent receipts, amounting
to about $2750 year, are depended
on to defray the cost OF public iui-
provements.
Members Of the board expressed
some dissatisfaction with the ap-
parently slow progress made on the
new reservoir up to Monday afternoon
and 1t was thought that the reservoir
/, would eventually cost considerably
more than was at first expected.
However, 1t was agreed that the work
was being done In a very substantial
manner and had probably been pro.
ceeding as rapidly as could be ex.
pected under the circumstances.
The village now has over $l70O Ia

those issued this week. Bills allowed
