Purify the Blood Now!

1t is not claimed that BROWNS
SARSAPARILLA and Dandelion,
with lodide of Potassium, will cure
every disease, but it has been proven
in a thousand cases that no other REM
edy can compare with it in curing
Tumors, Kidney Diseases,
Ulcers, rheumatism, Cancers, Dvs-
pepsia, Fever Sores, Syphilitic
Diseases, Boils, Constipation. N ysip.
elias, Sick Headache, Salt Rheum.
Why is Browns Sarsaparilla best for
curing these diseases? Because it
purifes the blood, corrects the inaction
of the Liver and Kidneys, and cures
eonst, patton and dyspepsia by giving
tone to the stomach so that all food is
readily digested. Use only the best
medicines. DR.. Brock, Bellevue. A.
Rupert, Haley, and |. l. Lewis &
Son, Ketchun, sell Browns Sarsa-
parilla.

THE COUNTY TAXES.
They are Being Paid at the Rate Of
$1,000 Per Day-A Splendid
Showing.

County Assessor Leonard is kept
quite busy, nowadays, receipting for
money paid for taxes. Since he be-
gan collecting taxes on personal prop
erty, almost two weeks ago, he has
taken in all average of almost $4,000
per day, and the outlook is that the
taxes will be very generally paid by
the date of delinquency. The county
precincts are we'll paid up; Atlanta,
Rocky Bar, Shoshone, and ketchum
are nearly all paid up, there being
but three or four delinquents in each
place. Bellevue, which was nearly
all delinquent last year, is nearly all
paid up this year; HALEY and Bullion
are nearly all unpaid, but the people
Of those places are doubtless waiting
for the last day, as the Assessors Office
is at their very doors. The delinquent
list, Mr.. Leonard says, will not be
one-third as large, this year, as it was
last, as the bulk of those whose taxes
remain unpaid, outside Of Haley, are
large. corporations such as the mines
and smelters.

WHO CAN USE THE TELEPHONES

The General Manager a Ahe Cnm,..,
states the Rule ~ he Wishe, II En-.
forced.
G. F. Annelt, General MANAGES ~
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
.Compsny, writes to the Local Man.
agcr, as follows:
Subscribers may use any telephone
oy permission; that is, besides the one
they pay rental on, and with anv per.
son they choose. But the nou.sub.
scr'oer cannot use telephone unless
on paying the advertised tariff rates.
VI course, there are cases, sometimes.
where it Is an accommodate, to a sub
scrlber for an outsider to use the tele
phone, to give or receive information.
. I'd it is for the l,cal man .gert,ts
termine upon such cases. The object Of
the restriction is to prevent Tom, Dick,
and Harry from using a telephone
regularly without paying; and when
the rule is properly understood at the
beginning it is much easier to en-.
force it.
As a rule, tie subscribers pr fer our
being strict in this respect, for i. keeps
the telephone exclusively for their
own use.
The theory Of all our rules is the &C.
commodation of our subscribers, as far
as the service will admit, and the pre-.
vention of the promiscuous, gratuitious
use of the telephones by non sub.
scribers."
As the central Office telephone is
open to public use, non.sub-
scribers who wish to can use it upon
the payment of the tariff rates.

There are few errors in the above.
For instance: There are three Deputy
Collectors of Internal Revenue in
Idaho; the postmaster at Bellevue re-
ceives salary of 81 400 per year, and
is allowed 600 for clerk hire; and the
postmaster at HALEY receives $1,000
per year, and no clerk hire. Again,
there are but one District Attorney
and one Marshal in Idaho. Notwith-
standing the inaccuracies, the list is

The speaker laid before the house yester-
day message from the President relative TO
the Joint resolution to refer certain claims to
the court Of claims, which becomes law
under constitutional provision without his
approval. In giving his reasons for not sign
'ing the resolution, the President says that its
apparent purpose is to allow certain bankers
to ospo in the court of claims for the amount
of4internal revenue tax collected from them
without lawful authority, upon showing II
matter of excuse for not having brought
their suits within the time limited by law,
that they had entered into an agreement with
the district attorney, which was in substance
that thoy should be relieved of that necessity.
The message states in effect that the Presi-
dent finds no sufficient grounds for the legis-
lation demanded, but prefers to let it become

A SPEC OF WAR.
The People or lie Droit Park Propose tC
Down the Telephone Company.

The residents of Lie Droit park emphasized
their opposition to tho erection of telephone
poles along the line Of the streets within the
park yesterday by promptly cutting down
those erected on Thursday evening by the tel
ephone company. Under permit granted by
the district commissioners to replace the fire
alarm and police telephone poles on Ninth
street from X street to Boundary, the tele-
phone company continued the poles along
Boundary street to Sixth street and thence
into Le Droit Park. As the latter is private
property and the streets not under control
Of the districts authorities, no permit could
be given by the latter to enter the park,
even if requested. As the residents had
no notice Of the purpose of tho telephone
company to trespass upon their property
they were unprepared TO resist, and tho
poles were put up before the citizens were
fully aware of what was going on. There
was intense indignation ut the preparation
of what they considered gross outrage, and
and the officers of the Property Owners asso-
catien decided that the poles must come
down, and their rights be protected. After
taking legal counsel corps of destruction
was speedily organized yesterday afternoon,
under command of Mr., Scott Smith and Maj,
George S. Prindle, and an advance ordered.
The police authorities had got wind of what
was going on, and almost simultaneously with
tho appearance Of the aSmen detail of
mounted police were also upon the ground to
prevent any breach Of the peace or the
shedding of blood The chips few in
all directions as the aXmen attacked the
poles. In few minutes the poles were
all down, when the army was at once with
drawn. Rumors were ailoat last night that
the telephone company intended to send %
force of mon and put up the poles before this
morning, and precautions were taken by the
park people to prevent them from succeeding,
If the attempt was made, every citizen sleep
ing with n revolver under his pillow. Up to
the hour of going TO press no demonstration
had been made, and there were no signs of Il
conflict, and Il is more than probable that the
next move win be In tho courts. The park
people claim that the telephone company have
ample facilities for doing their service over
the wires now up, which are run over the roofs
of the houses in the park, and that there is
not the slightest pretext for erecting unsightly
poles.
