BoNNER's FERRY, Sept. 13th,-
Editor KooTENAI HERALD. In
reply to a letter Of Geo. A. Man
ming, dated Post Falls, Idaho, Sept.
4th, 1894, | have this to say, that
if the Almighty, would come down
and visit Mr.. Manning, and would
ask him how he voted for Joint Sen
ator, Mr.. Manning, would have to
say Latah. So far as being boon
companion of Mr.. Smith, / thought
it was Mr.. Manning, that was
Smiths boon companion, where
you seen one, you generally seen
the two together while they were in
Boise.
If Mr.. Manning says | told him
that Mr. Smith, received money
from any source to buy tickets home,
and had Forty dollars left he tells
what is not so.
never was Mr.. Smiths Spokes-
man. | met him at Rathdrum, at
the County Convention, what l
know of Mr.. Smith is very little.
If l would of wanted transporta-
ton home, and did not have it l
would of went to some one that
could of got it for me instead of go
ing to Mr.. Manning, so far as Smith
was concerned had nothing to do
what ever.

THE Silver Star, a populist paper
published in Shoshone county,
takes us to task for saying that
Alex E. Meyhew had declined the
populist nomination for district
judge. The HERALD only reiterat-
ed what has been going the rounds
of the press of the state for month
or more undisputed. We see, how
ever, that the Judge is out in late
letter in which he formally accepts
the nomination. We cheerfully
make the correction, as it is far from
our desile to injure gallant old
Alex Meyhew.

this work had to be postponed till the

few spiteful things about the

the dose of political corruption
whereby Mr.. Wright was deprived

The Mirror says the HERALD editor

the HERALD being an office seeker
is another of those political jokes
that could only emenate from the

SO used to bribery and corrup-

WELL meaning friends of the
HERALD at Rathdrum have sent us
communications containing the full
particulars of the drunken carouse
and disgraceful family row in which
the editor of the Post was the
bright, particular star. We thank
the writer's for their interest in our
behalf in furnishing us such
strong means of retaliation but we
must decline to publish the letters
as we do not care to polute our
columns further with facts concern
ing this man who is so polluted with
sin and crime that it would take
all the waters of the river Jordan to
clense his soul-if he has any.
Besides his intrigues with lewd
women, his vices and crimes are as
an open book to the public and no
amount OF airing by the press could
sink him lower in the estimation of
those who know him for he has
reached the bottom of human deg
radiation. No greater proof of this
was needed than when the wife
whom he had sworn to love, cherish
and protect was compelled to put
him under bond to prevent his
beating and abusing her, and to
protect her very life, her only of

THE VETERANS REUNION.

EDITOR CALEDONIAN:-Am the
many pleasant incidents occurring
at the veterans reunion held at
Barton Landing the 10th inst, was
the reunion of Co. c, 9Th Vt. Regt.
This company Was recruited by Capt.
H. E. Foster in 1861 from Gale
donia and Orleans counties, with a
few from Franklin county. Capt.
Foster had command of this COM
pany almost two years and proved
himself an efficient and capable Of
hcer; although but % years old, he
manifested the abilities of d veteran
in camp and field. The captain did
not approve of Sinking duty nor
dishonesty among his men; he ad-
mired the brave and honest soldier,
and he does the same today. He
has great charity for the men that
wore the blue. He was kind and
generous to his men in the service,
and when these seventeen old boys
sat down to the dinner provided
for them by their old captain at the
Valley House one comrade made the
appropriate remark: "The captain is
IS generous as ever" After partaking
of a good substantial dinner that
would enable an old soldier to make
quite a march, the rest of the time
was spent in reviewing times, places
and scenes of our soldier life. The
age of the youngest member present
is 4S years, the oldest 6S. The
average age of the seventeen present
is Sc years. So the youngest when
he enlisted was quite young, and
none of them were very old. Here
comrades met for the first time in 81
years; having separated on the
battlefield before Port Hudson, being
wounded, then discharged, unfit for
further service Who but an old
soldier can fully appreciate the grip
and hand-shake of an old comrade
after al absence of 80 years or more?
Here incidents of camp, field and
hospital were related that brought
brought wildly to mind the time we
participated in the struggle. 1t was
a pleasant and joyful gathering; yet
there was tinge of sadness in the
JOY at the mention of comrades who
died on the field and hospital. This
meeting was the first of so many
members of Co. c since the war end
ed. Arrangements were made for
yearly meeting Of the company here
after. PETE"

Such strong proofs of the marvellous cures
made by DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy have been brought to public notice
lately, through the various newspaper in
vestigations, that it has become now the
standard medicine for the diseases for which
it is prepared.
DR.. 6. H. Ingraham of Amsterdam, n. ",
states, where the regular prescriptions used
in a case of kidney disease and gravel utterly
failed, he prescribed DR.. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, and it cured the patient.
DR.. VIM. Smith of Jewett's Heights, N. V,
prescribed Favorite Remedy for Mrs. Casper
Brooks of Athens, n. V, who was suffering
from kidney disease, liberation of the
stomach, complicated with sickness peculiar
to her sex; after the second day steady i'm
provement was noted, and final permanent
recovery,
DIR. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy acts di-
rectly upon the kidneys, liver and blood, in
cases of nervousness, dyspepsia, rheuma tism
and Brights disease; it has made most pro-
nounced cures, after all other treatments
have failed. Druggists sell it.

THE STREETER TRIAL.

The interest in the Streeter trial
at Minneapolis increases. Much OF
the time was spent last week in eA-
aiming the discounted notes by
County Attorney Peterson on which
Menage secured credit with the
Northwestern Guaranty Loan Com
pany. After this had been going on
quite awhile Judge Shaw became
quite wearied with the long drawn
out testimony of the prosecution
and inquired how much longer the
thing was going to continue.
Il know of but three things in the
future" said the judge, time, eter-
nifty and Peterson, and the longest
of these is Peterson"
The imuch talked about "straw
notes" were the subject of much in
nesday afternoon. A large number
of them were read with the charac-
terizations of the makers by the
Northwestern Guaranty Loan Com
pany and the notices of protest.
After these were read three clerks
were called to the stand to testify
that they had been sent the notes
for collection and tried in vain to
find the makers. On cross examina-
ton one clerk admitted that he had
ascertained that the notes had been
discounted for Mr.. Menage.
The next day Gen. Geo. P. Wilson
testified that although he had tried
he had not succeeded in locating the
makers of certain notes, which were
sent his firm for collection.
so you didn't find Mr.. Croker,
the maker who has property and
business enabling him to take care
OF his paper in good shape or the
other man, Fairbanks, who is an
active business man Of good stand
ing and responsible for engage
ments p asked Mr.. Peterson.
"No, sir, couldn't. l talked with
both Mr.. Streeter and Mr.. Cole
about the notes sent US for collec-
ton. Mr.. Cole said these were all a
mere matter of FORM these riders.
l think Mr.. Streeter said that no one
knew who the men were or where
they were"
Much excitement was caused
Thursday when testimony was in
PRODUCED showing that men were
hired to sign the notes. The impor-
tant testimony, however, COM
menced with the calling of James
Robertson to the stand. Robertson
was the man who secured the sigma
lures to the notes which were testi-
fed to Wednesday. He had secured
CAROLS signature to whole books of
notes and had conducted negotia-
tions with John Elvin. He was
shown note signed 6. A. Russell
and owned up to the fact that he
was man who formerly kept a
stand at the A. D. T. corner and
whose signature he had secured.
How many notes were signed by
him ?" asked Mr.. Peterson.
About 2OO," was the cool re-
sponse
and what did he get for it ~
Thirty dollars"
Now tell US how much did you
get for doing the work %
