SACRAMENTO, CAL, April II, 1891.
Dr. Jordan, Seattle, Wash-MY DEAR
FRIEND: : must tell yon about Mrs. Bnst,
the LADY with the terrible kidney trouble.
She was here about two months ago. and
had not been free from excruciatinR pain
for months. She took one bottle of Y, and
has been free from pain ever since; and
she writes that when one little bottle of
medicine will do 50 much good she thinks
the whole prescription will cure her.
We no longer fear colds in any form in
our family. Mr.. Purvis had la grippe a
year ago, and he is awfully afraid of it. |
asked him few days a1o if, in case la
grippe attacked him again, he would be so
badly frightened that ne would send for a
doctor. He answered: "No. What the
Jordan medicine won't cure nothing on
earth will"
found your medic nes in Sacramento
this winter, and introduced them into one
family where the children had the whoop
ing cough; and the medicines acted like a
charm. The whole family-all of whom
were sick with colds in some form-took
the medicines, and were delighted with
them. Very respectfully,
Mrs J. L. PURvIs.

Chamber Of Commerce!
AN ORGANIZATION WHICH WAS
EFFECTED THURSDAY NIGHT.
To Advertise Lewiston.
Closing Exercises of the Tammany
School.-The Artesian Well
Project.-0ther Things.

Last Thursday evening a number of
enterprsing citizens met at the Office
of the Sheriff, JOS. Eakin, to consider
several questions of public interest,
principal among which was the adver-
tising of the city aud tributary country.
After spirited talk by several of those
present, regarding the needs of such
work being done, the meeting resolved
itself into an organization, to be known
as the Lewiston Chamber of Com
merce, having for its aim the adver-
tising of the town and surrounding
country, and the encouraging Of fimmi-
grafton and business enterprises to
come to this locality. The best busi-
ness men of the city are signing the
roll of members and the organization
has in it every element of success. II.
B. Cooper was chosen president; WIS.
Buck, corresponding secretary. A
committee on advertising, consisting
Of Jas. w. Reid, Robert Schleicher,
Geo. Morrison and Geo. Lake, was
chosen; also one of finance, comprising
Fred. Kroutinger, d. S. Dent and d.
Kemp, and another on membership,
comprising Geo. Morrison, J. Eakin
and d. Kemp. d. S. Dent, Fred.
Kroutinger and Geo. II. Lake were
chosen as committee on constitution.
The first meeting of this organization
will be this evening at Vollmer's hall,
and Thursdays nights of each week
will be designated for the regular
meeting nights. The Chamber of Com
merce has in view an object perfectly
feasible and necessary, and one which
if accomplished will rebound to the
benefit of every citizen. Any de-
cided and energetic stir of the citizens
ut this crisis is surely commendable.

realms of the attainable. They have
caught glimpse of the hidden gems
that lie strewn in their future life path.
In this school they have been made
conscious, that by close application,
indomitable energy and tenacity Of
purpose, they can at least snatch one
feather from the immortal talisman,

In the evening literary entertain
ment was given consisting of select
speeches, select readings, original es-
says, dialogues and burlesques, inter-
spersed with vocal and instrumental
music. In the role of music, sacred
song, by the NJ. E. quartet, was th,

a quintet of our school misses, the rem
dition of which was praiseworthy.
Three comic songs helped to enliven
the occasion. To be brief, the program
was success in Its entirety, and we
can say it was good to be there. In
the language of the Queen of Sheba,
allow me to say, "the half has not been
told" l must not fail to say that al
though Jumbo succumbed to the
Powers that be, his place has been du-
plicated by the elephant which is in
digenous to the Gem of the Mountains.
His exhibition, controlled by an ex-
pert tutor, made him either veritable
elephant, or grand mirage or delusion
with renounced tribal relations.
To conclude brief lecture was given
by given by Rev. Mr.. Terry. Mr..
Van Voris, in the finale, bid adieu to
his pupils and patrons, with thankful
hess for the past patronage of parents
and for their aid and cooperation In
his labors.

To the Citizens of Lewiston.

The Lewiston Board of Trade will
hold a special meeting at the city
council rooms tonight, April 2, 1891, at
7:3O o'clock, to consider the question of
adopting system of advertising the
city. If you believe that a system of
general advertising through the me-
dunn of pamphlets, maps, engravings
and newspapers to be advantageous
and necessary and that we ought to
take immediate action in the matter
and press the claims OF Lev iston and
vicinity upon the immigrating public,
till our position as a great city is as
sured, come in and advise the board
how to raise the means to make the
movement an assured success. If you
do not think system of advertising
advantageous or necessary, advise the
board accordingly. BY order of the
Board. j. M. HOWE, Sec'y.

sided over by Mr.. Van Voris, closed

springtime comes, freighted with balmy.
breezes from the south, assuring us of
the SUMS approaching visit to our
northern cline, dispensing, as lie
comes, his beneficient rays of light and
heat, charged with their actinic magic
which bids all nature bloom, and bud,
and fructity. Our closing day had its
significance. All nature smiles as she
dons her gorgeous apparel, and puts on
her robes of living green, in her
triumphal march to full fruition; so our
closing day with such happy render
lngs in the various exercises, showing
progress in mental attainments, is
prophetic of intellectual fruitage in the
ages to come. May the industrious
youth of our land be crowned with
success in their efforts for tue acquis-
ition of higher education. Our school
term has been fraught with happy and
inspiring associations between teacher
and pupils. between teacher and par
ents, and with general mingling and
commingling of friendly feelings to-
ward the pupils for their industry, and
hearty congratulations to the teacher
for his untiring efforts, for his inces-
SAINT and arduous labors, and for the
general results obtained.
Mr.. Van Voris came to us we'll pano-
piled with the qualifications which fits
him for teacher, having taken q full
course in the Illinois State Normal
University, and has been admitted to
the Junior grade in Harvard Univer-
sity. During his pupilage, he won
many prizes in the competitive tests of
the university. He has filled the re-
quirements of the hour and is equal to
the demands Of the future. In the
school room he is not stranger in q
strange land.
The general curriculum of studies,
the mild, yet exciting, discipline, and
tie thorough mental training of oul
teachers alma mater, warrants US In
the firm belief of his superior abilities
and qualifications to preside in q school
room. Aside frum this, the various re.
hearsals in the closing exercises of the
school have surely unequivocally de-
monstrated the fact that the advance.
ment Of the pupils has been beyond
our most sanguine expectations, and
we are all happy and proud Of our
jevenile achievements. The evolution
wrought in the minds Of our young
pupils has evoked and inspired new
hopes. New opportunities are pre-
sented. The young mind has realized

Charge to the Grand Jury.

Judge Piper, of Moscow, is holding
his first term of court in Lewiston
since the organization of state courts.
The first term in the district was held
at Moscow, where a large docket of ac-
cumulated cases was disposed OF.
Judge Piper starts out on his judicial
career by making most favorable
impression. He is evidently the right
man in the right place, and public
affairs intrusted to him will be con-
Quoted with economy and dispatch.
His charge to the Grand Jury is full of
salient points worthy of careful con-
sideration. The following in regard to
the school lands is certainly well
taken:
"This being the first regular term of
the District Court Of this, the End Judi
cial District, to convene in this county
since the admission of Idaho into the
Union of States, and convening this
court under such favorable auspices
and in this new temple of justice
second to none in the state, the people
of your county are to be highly and
justly commended for their energy and
business activity manifested in the
construction Of so commodious and
beautiful an edifice. The people of
your county, in common with the peo-
| pie of this new state, entered the Union
of States not under the borrowed robes
Of some ether state or territory. We
are living in the new State of Idaho,
governed and controlled by the Consti-
tuition and laws framed and enacted by
the peoples delegates and representa-
tives, who proved themselves, in the
formation Of this Constitution, equal to
the emergency, and gave to the people
this wise, wholesome and fundamental
law, which contains the reformatory
measures, which the experience of the
past century have proven to be wise
and judicious and adapted to the gem
eral wants of the people. Yet, in a
work Of such stupendous magnitude
where the interests are SO varied and
extensive, it is to be expected that err
rors would creep in and omissions pass
unnoticed. before concluding 1 call
attention to the matter of your giving
careful consideration to the school lands
of the state held in trust subject to dis
posal at public auction for the use and
benefit of the respective objects for
which said grants of land were made
by Congress. These lands are Sections
l6 and SO in each Township in this
county, and any person or persons
known to you, who have trespassed
upon these lands or the timbers grow
ing thereon, should be brought to JUS
tice, and when the evidence produced
before you, If so, Is Of such character as
! to satisfy your mind that the law has
been violated in trespassing upon these
school lands, as named, then see to it
that the law has its full free and
effect, as whatever the laws insists
upon let it have Of your own free will.
The people Of the State Of Idaho are
now clothed with the sovereign right
OF statehood and one now possessed
with the might to see that the laws are
faithfully executed; that the star

Kate Jean Boan Blake, formerly res

poose: "Mr. III. Ford called at our
office Thursday and was deeply inter-
ested In our exchange from Lewiston,
Idaho. Mr.. Ford lived in Lewiston In
its early days and we spent some Of our
happiest days there, in 1881. Until
settling In Ashley we were always
homesick for Lewiston. The little city,
overlooking the rcsistleas, rushing
Snake and quieter Clearwater, the
lovely homes, and above al the kind,
true, hospitable hearts Of her people,
can never be forgotten. Ton years
have doubtless made many changes,
but to us there will always be = halo

A. F. Parker, Of Grangeville Free
Press, thus expresses his admiration for
this climate In his issue Of last week:
This is the time Of the year when we
enjoy living in Lewiston. That town
has lovely climate-far superior To-
the Los Angeles brand. The high hills
which surround Lewiston deprive tho
damp winter winds Of their moisture
by filtering the air, aud per contra, the
hot breezes Of the summer are tempered
by absorbing moisture from its rivees.

Between Dover and London som,
time ago a race was run by an express
train and carrier pigeon. An En-,
glish paper describes it as follows:
The race took place between the
Continental mail express train and a
carrier pigeon, conveying an urgent
document for the French police. The
rails, carriages and engine of the ex-
press train, were as might be expected
of the best possible construction for
power and speed. The pigeon, which
was known as Belgian voyageur,"
was tossed through the railway car
riage window by a French official as
the train left the Admiralty Pier, the
wind being west and the atmosphere
hazy. The train had made more than
a mile before the poor bird decided
which direction to take. 1t circled up
in the air, rising all the time in wider
rings, while the train, which made no
stop, was speeding along at the rate
of sixty miles an hour, and the rail-
way officials were ready to lay odds
on their train.
But the race was not to the strong,
for telegram announced the arrival
Of the bird twenty minutes before. the
Train was heard of!

to the Stamford University, Menlo

plank painted black. The bones
which are perfectly white, are Joined
with nickel-plated bolts and rivets.
Every bone seems perfect. and it is in
proper position, so that Electioneer,
without his hide and flesh, stands be-
fore the visitor. BY connecting the
vertebrae of the neck with invisible
wires the head has been placed in
natural position. The same is true of
the tail. The three hundred and six
ty-fonr bones and forty teeth have
been fitted together perfectly.
