ficers and enlisted men, provided such
widows have not remarked; provided
further, that this act shall not apply to
a person not citizens of the United
StateS.'
The act provides that before the
name of any person can be put on the
pension roll, proof shall be made under
rules prescribed by the secretary OF the
interior. A false oath in this connec-
ton would be perjury. The loss OF the
certificate of discharge shall not de-

be deemed sufficient.
In cases where persons are at present
receiving some form of pension from
the government, they can under this
act receive only the difference be-
tween their present pension and the
sum allowed by this act-$20 per month
providing the latter is larger sum
than is now being received.

tional article concerning the pension
bill and its provisions which is as fol-
lows:
There are located throughout this
section of Idaho and particularly IN
Nez Perce and Idaho counties, large
number of citizens who are entitled
to pensions under the new law passed
by the present congress, which allows
a pension of 500 month to survivors
of Indian wars. The old law did not
apply to the Nez Perce and Bannock
campaigns of 1877 and 1878 and other
Indian troubles in Oregon and WASH

DISMISS WRIT OF GUARD OFFICERS

der and the stand he took. The contro-
versy arose when, following confer.
ences with the staff Officers of tba
regiment, an agreement was reached to
commission the officers of the staff and
appoint Adjutant General Phil j. Crow
lieutenant colonel to succeed Lieuten-
ant Colonel Mccall, disqualified ON
physical examination. Governor Alex
ander had proposed that regular army
officer be named colonel of the regi
ment and that Colonel Edelblute be-
come lieutenant colonel. To this Col
onel Edelblute objected. He was sup
ported by some of the other staff Of
ficers. Against his better Judgment
Governor Alexander gave way to the
protest and the officers were named
without regular army officer on the
list.
Majors Become Insubordinate.
Having been commissioned, some of
the staff officers then sought to in
ject politics into the affairs of the
guard, although they had previously
stated they were satisfied with the ar
rangements made, and the three ma
jors aided and advised by the attorney
general of the state, instituted an ac-
tion before the supreme court of pre-
vent the mastering in of Lieutenant
Colonel Crow, thereby placing them
selves in position of insubordination
to the commander-in- chief and of en-,
tering an alleged conspiracy to block
his appointment. A temporary writ of
prohibition was issued by the supreme
court on the application of the majors
and served on Captain CARRIER, mus
tering officer by Assistant Attorney
General Dunning, Republican as are
! the three battalion majors, instead of
| by a regular court employe.
Court Writ Ignored.
The service was made at time when
/ the staff officers were lined up for
muster before the mastering officer
who ten proceeded to muster in the
staff officers, excusing Crow temporar-
| lily. Captain CARRIER Immediately wir-
ed the war department of the writ is
sued and received a reply to muster in
the appointees of the governor, which
that department recognized, and to pay
no attention to the writ but in fact to
resist arrest in case of contempt pro.
ceedings.
CAPTAIN CARRIER then swore Lieuten
ant Colonel Crow in. He did not ap
pear in court in response to the sum
mons of that tribunal and on the day
set for the hearing of the writ Attor
ney General Peterson, after bitterly at
tacking the governor in an address be

granted the withdrawal and the gov
ernor of the state was vindicated in the
stand that he took in opposition to thu
playing of petty politics in regimenta
affairs. The removal of Colonel Edel
blute and the three majors of the regi
ment for insubordination is still within
the range of possibilities, if not yer.

RAILROADS WILL ARBITRATE
F. N. Finch of Camas Prairie Road
Issues Letter to Points Served.

In the endeavor to prevent strike
through having the issues referred to
the interstate commerce commission or
"a board of arbitration, the railroads are
now appealing to the public CONNER
cial bodies of the country to address
the senators and representatives OF the
respective states and urge them to vote
for legislation that will give the com
merce commission authority to meet
the situation.
The Camas Prairie Railroad Company,
of which r. N. Finch is superintendent,
has issued a letter of request along
these lines to the commercial bodies
of Lewiston, Grangeville, Cottonwood,
Ferdinand, Vollmer, Ilo, Nezperce,
Reubens, Culdesac and Fort Lapwai.
The letter from Mr.. Finch is as follows:
Your members are no doubt fully in
touch with the present critical situa-
tion confronting American railroads
by reason of the demands of the train
and engine men for an eight-hour day
and payment for overtime at one and
one half time and regular hourly rate
and by the refusal of the train and
engine men to submit the wage matters
in controversy to any sort of arbitra-
tion.
Gas your members have undoubtedly
gathered from the newspapers, the rail
road companies feel the men are al
ready adequately paid, but the railway
companies are still willing and anxious
that the entire wage matter be sub
mitted to a board of arbitration or tt
the interstate commerce commission
the employees ON the other hand refusing
any such arbitration by any specia
board or by the interstate commerc'
commission, and are now preparing t.
take strike vote which may tie ul
all the railroads. in the Unittd State
and strike serious blow at the pros
perity of every individual in the Unit
ed States.
81 am enclosing herewith a letter
which it is suggested be sent by you
commercial club to the senators an
representatives of this state. | shal
appreciate it very much if your organi
cation will consider this matter and i
they find it consistent, will write tn
suggested letter, advising me of tn
action taken.

DISTRICT COURT IN RECESS FOR
MONTH AND JUDGE ON VACATION

evidence had been partially introduced,
the insanity proceedings against George
w. Goode, stopped the trial of the case.
Fogg & Campbell were entered as at
torneys for Grunewald and by stipula-
ton with E. A. Cox and w. N. Scales,
attorneys for the bank the trial Of the
case was continued until the Lewiston

pute involved the question as to
whether certain property taken into
possession by the receiver appointed by
the court was covered by and included
in the mortgage to the bank, the at
torneys for the defendant contendlng
for the release of some of the property.
The decision Of the court releases
some ten head of horses, six cows and
some other property. 1t also DEGREES
that the mortgage be foreclosed. 1t is
probable that the case will be appealed

CANDIDATES LINING UP.
Several Promising Men Asking for
Voters Endorsement.

Another sign of spring, almost as
promising as the small boy with the
marble bag is the stepping forth Of
the candidates for the primaries. John
E. Divall was the first man to make
an announcement and he has placed
his announcement quite generally
throughout the county. Mr.. Divall is
well spoken Of and we'll known.
Fred G. Burr, proprietor of the Or
pheum theater in Lancaster has an
nounced his desire to secure the nom
inatiOn for the office of Clerk of the
Circuit Court and Mr. Burr should
make good race, as he is an old cit
izen and has many friends who wish
him we'll.
Frank G. Meyer announces in this
issue his candidacy for the office of
district attorney of Grant county. Mr..
Meyer is a republican, and well educat-
ed young attorney who has had several
years practice in the courts of this
county and state. If the voters of his
party desire to express their conf
dence in him by voting in his favor
they will feel we'll satisfied if he is
elected later on.
Friends of Mayor w. ]. Bailie Of
Lancaster, are circulating a petition
placing him again in the race for may
or of the city of Lancaster. Mr.. Bailie
has impressed every one with his de-
sire to serve the people in his office
and do what he considers the best for
the city.
Other candidates have been men
toned as desiring to make the race for
various Offices, but as they have not
formally announced their intention,
nothing definite can be said at this
time
