A STAB IN THE DARK

Sometimes falls If its murderous intent. The In
sidious and bastard attacks made up the repu-
taion of Hostester's Stomach Bitters by persons
wro set TO palm off cheap and firery tonics as
identified with 1t, or ''the same thing under an
other name" equally as good in most I'm
stances react dizsstrously upon the uGprineipled
traders upon popular credutity who attempt them,
converting their speculattors into runous failure
The B.tters is pure, wholesome and thorough
medicine, adapted to the total cure and prevent
of fever and ague, bilious remittant, dyspt psis
constipation, biiou5ness, debility, nervousness
and kidney TROUBLES. Its very Ingredient, unlike
those in the imt tion3 Of it, is OF an asc rtatne
standard OF excellence, and while they, by reason
OF their frey properties react injrriousy upon the

The Statesman takes the Boise

The Statesman takes the Boise
City Board of Trade to task fol-
sending printing away from home
1t seems as if the average Board
of Trade has a mania to send
printing away. 1t looks as though
they were organized for the sole
purpose of helping eastern print
shops. The first money the Cald-
well Board of Trade spent, was to
send to Omaha for stationery
| paying $1S per 1000 for a snide
Autograph letter head, when THE
TRIBUNE would have printed bet
ter job for SIS per 1000. But as the
Board Of Trade was evidently or
gained to boom Omaha, the slight
difference in the cost was overlook
ed. The Caldwell Building and
Loan Association, another enter
prise with its principal object ''to
give homes and employment to
mechanics" is a good second to the
BOARD of Trade, and tries to employ
home labor and build up home in
dustries by sending east for its
printing, and also gets robbed for
its philanthropic effort. Consis-
tency, thou art indeed a rare and
glittering diadem. But THE TR1-
BUNE finds sweet consolation in the
fact that it is not forgotten. When
either of the two foundations of
home enterprise want a free notice,
or want their deliberations publish
ed to an anxious world, or want
some pet scheme carried through,
they lay aside their prejudices for
a short time, and kindly allow THE
TRIBUNE to give them some gratis
advertising. Of course we appre-
ciate the honor; it's so sweet to be
remembered. But it is hard on
our conscience. We feel that we
are infringing on the rights of
others. After some eastern house
has done their work at big profit,
we do not think it right that said
house should have 10 chance in the
printing for glory. It is mott in keep
ing with the object of the glorious
enterprises-the building up and
fostering of eastern print shops.
They will get mad some day and
''kick" and then THE TRIBUNE will
forever have to carry on its con-
science the stain of breaking the
friendly relations between Damon
and Pythias. But we have no.
bic scheme on foot. Just as soon
as we can get all the printing sent
out of CaldHell concentrated on
one point, we are going to sell The
TRIBUNE, 60 that point, start a job
office, and grow immensely rich.
We can't do it here because it
comes too cheap; Caldwell is
blooded, you know. However,
but never mind; "alPs well that
ends well.

soon as Moore read the contents
of the note he armed himself
with . shotgun and fastening to the held
where Strickland was at work, emptied
the contents into the body of his wife's
lnsulter. Moore came in and surrendered
to Sheriff Dupuy and his examining trial
is set for Tuesday next.

The tenders of bonds and acceptances
by the Treasury we're again somewhat
limited up-to Friday, when the total was
raised bv the purchase OF no less than
IS, 600, 900. The total tenders for the
week amounted to S10,734, $50, st 1870
l28 for the 4 per cents and 1O6s@10S for
the Il per cents. The acceptances for
the week were S7,S29 900 in amount, at
1265@l27 l Is and 1G7 6o@10S for the
two classes OF bonds respectively. The
effect Of last weeks large purchases on the
money market was, however, very appsr-
emit, and in conjunction with the incress-
ing surplus in the reserve and apparent
decreasing demands from mercantile
borrowers has caused very easy rates to
prevail at New York. Some effect may
also be sscrioed to the fact that exchange
has hung just below the gold shipping
point, and that, though some gold was
shipped, the condition Of the London
money market has Imoroyed to 8 slight
Brsdstreet's.
