LETTER FROM MIR. WELLER
He Defmes His Position on the
Location of the Agricultural
College.

|
EDITOR FREE Press s:-Fron
private advices just received
| am informed that a report il
current on the Prairie to the
effect that in order to secure
my nomination | had pledged
my support to the people o.
Nez Perce county for the loca,
tion of the Agricultural Col.
lege at Lewiston. For the
purpose of correcting any false
and erroneous reports concern
ing my position on this matter,
| herewith submit the follow
ing explanation of facts, feel
ing confident that my friends
in Idaho county will accord to
nie a fair and just verdict.
The question of the location
of the Agricultural College
was not mentioned in connec-
ton with my candidacy for
joint senator. 1t was some
time before any convention
was held that Nez Perce coun-
ty conceded to Idaho county
the nominee for joint senator.
The nomination was urged
upon me by my friends, against
my protests and expressed
wishes, and was reluctantly
accepted without pledges of
any kind on my part. Imme-
diately upon my nomination
at the State convention | was
approached and written to by
many representative citizens
of Nez Perce county soliciting
my support for the location of
the Agricultural College at
Lewiston. 1t was made one of
the principal issues in Nez
Perce county during the cam
paign, and the result was
largely attributable to the eff
forts of the friends of the
movement there. 1t was not
until the article, sug-
gesting the location of the Col
lege in Idaho county, appeared
in an issue of the FREE PRESS,
some six weeks or more after
the election that our people
made any effort in that direc.
ton; just three months after
Nez Perce county had taken
initial steps in the premises.
In view of the fact that but
few, if any, of your readers at
home, are aware that this state
Of affairs existed, it is quite
natural that Idaho county ex-
poets the support of her resi-
dent representatives in this as
well as all matters of local in
terest. Although my resi-
dence, my every interest, lies
in your midst, which alone
would suggest itself to you all,
that your county should re-
ceive my first and undivided
support, yet if you will care
fully consider the foregoing
statement of facts, coupled
with the one that l am repre-
senting both counties, and my
desire being to do justice to-
each, you cannot conclude
otherwise than that my duty is
clear, and that l cannot con-
scientiously support a bill To-
eating the Agricultural Col
lege as against Nez Perce
county. Very respectfully,
l. s. Weller.

SARSAPARILLA.
isn't one Sarsaparilla as good as another
mol No!l No!!l

MOI No!i No!!l
Don't think it. Don't for moment think
it. If you want Bulls Sarsaparilla, demand
it and take no other. 1t contains ingredi-
ents that are not found in any other sarsa-
parilla. These very ingredients that make
it different from other sarsaparillas are the
most important. In fact, essential to its
curative virtue. Omit them and Bulls Sar-
saparilla would be as inert as the
many inferior preparations of sarsa-
parilla found in many drug stores.
Bulls Sarsaparilla contains no unim-
portant ingredient Each ingredient
used is chosen for its beneticent effect upon
the human system. Combined, they exert a
harmonizing influence upon every function
of the body, improving digestion, strength
ening the liver and kidneys, cleansing the
blood of poisonous matter, soothing the
nervous system, enlivening the mental fac
ulties, and in a word, by infusing new
strength and life, completely reiuvenates
every part and makes one feel altogether
like new person.
Elmer Hodson, Alvaretto, Tex, writes:
"My strength and health had been failing
me for several years. My blood was in a
very impoverished condition and very i'm
pure. My limbs felt lame, rickety and
rheumatic, and / could not walk without
tottering. felt myself growing prema-
turely old, and my face began to look
cradle, was restless at night very nervous,
and growing very melancholy. My eyes
were sore and had catarrh. l tried many
tonics, and bitters and blood purifiers, but
failed to get better. l finally bought six
bottles of Bull Sarsaparilla, and before /
had used it all | felt like another man. My
strength and health improved, pimples and
sores disappeared from my person, aches
and stiff joints left me, and / consider my
self well person.
