Purify the Blood Now!

1t is not claimed that BROWNS
SARSAPARH.LA and Dandelion,
with lodide Of Potassium, will cure
every disease, but it has been proven
in thousand cases that no other REM
edy can compare with it in curing
Scrofula, Tumms, kidney Diseases,
Ulcers, rheumatism, Camcers, Dys-
pepsia, Fever Sores, SypM.isic
Diseases, Boi!s, Constipation, E.ySip-
elias, Sick Headache, Salt liheum.
Why is Browns Sarsaparilla best for
curing these diseases? Because it
purities the blood, corrects the inactiop
of the Liver and Kidneys, and cures
constipation and dyspepsia by giving
tone to the stomach SO that all food is
readily digested. Use only the best
medicines. DIR. Brock, Bellevue, \.
Rupert, Haley, and l. !, Lewis &
Son, ketchum, sell Brown's Sarsa-
parilla.

Bullion, Bellevue and Ketckum Now
Connected with HALEY by Wire.


About II a. IN. to-day the telephone
line to ketchum was completed by
the connection Of a set of instruments
in the ketchum postofIicc with the
wire communicating with the central
office in Haley. The four towns of
Bullion, ketchum, Bellevue ard Hal.
ley, are therefore, now con ,ected by
telephone, and the citizens of either
place can converse with those in
another town, or in either of the towns
mentioned, if they have a telephone,
without leaving their place of business.
For the present only two instru-
ments will be used at ketchum, as the
Telephone Company have refused to
put in an exchange at that place.
These instruments will be at the
smelling works and the postollice.
The telephone at the smelter will be
for the xclusve use of the Philadel.
phia Company; that at the postoilce
will be for public use. The tariff viii

To the Editor of the Press.
Will you please publish the following state
ment Of the workmen in regard to the cigar
makers strike?
The Express of this evening says there are
i've cigar manufacturers in the city. There
only who csssples- eis2-
Brothers and Deehan. The men employed at
these shops asked for an increase of one dollar
per thousand to take effect May 1st, aud were
told positively that it would not be paid them,
Thoits Brothers saying they would ill their
places with girls. The men considered this as
decisive and not wishing to leave the city con-
cluded to form a cooperative association.
The Express insinnates that this was doue
in an underhand way by two OF the mem en-
ployed at Deehan'H. This is not SO. They
were told that if the increase asked for was not
given cooperative society would be formed.
The manufacturers thought this was "bluff'
until the 23c. They then found that the men
were in earnest, and Deehan discharged one
of his men; another left. Knowing that q
cooperative association woald take part of
their business from them, Thoits Brothers and
Deehan met today and decided TO give the in
crease asked for, III they had TO.
The Express says they talked with num-
Der OF cigar makers today who were all al
work. aud know nothing of strIke. The Ex-
press talked with one man only and he knew
of strike.
The cigar makers Of this city are on strike,
and will not work unless they receive an in
crease of one dollar per thousand.
