Chas. Xoight broke his right arm
while climbing over a wire fence one
day last week. The same arm had
been broken about year previous.
Fire broke out in the home of Thos.
I. Scott, farmer living about thirteen
miles south of Ellinwood, Tuesday
morning while the family was at the
barn doing the chores and had gained
such head way before being discovered
that nothing could be saved from the
ruins.
Last Monday evening the people of
Ellinwocd were accorded rare comedy
and musical treat In the performance
of Carr's Lady Minstrels. The per-
formers in this combination deserve
more than local mention. In fact we
have seen minstrel shows with a repu-
tation that to our thinking did not sur
pass the ladies who played and sang in
this city Monday night. In justice to
the performers we fain would give each
a personal mention but space forbids.
The house was not as large as the show
deserved but was larger than the last
show given here by Great Bend talent.
IF they keep.on coming with good at
fractions like the last two have been it
will not be long before the mere men
ton of a show from Great Bend will
pack the opera house.

Said the merchant:
Indeed, I could not sleep last night.

minded me of it. That store is my
living, and could never start another.

A Wonderful Conqueror.

No disease is more common
among the people than scrofula.
Handed down from generation to
generation, it is found in nearly
every family, in some form. 1t
may make its appearance in dread
full running sores, in swellings in
the neck or goitre, or in eruptions
of varied forms. Attacking the
mucous membrane it may be known
as catarrl, or developing in the
lungs it may be, and often is, the
prime cause of consumption.

manifest itself, Hoods Sarsaparilla
is its inveterate foe and conqueror

AS WE GO ALONG.

THE KooTENAI HERALD man
made trip to Ceur d. Alene City
last week and upon his return pub
lished a very nice article in praise
of the city and the people whom he
met. Neither did he over-rate the
people of the fair city by the lake,
who are always kind and hospit-
able to visitors. Even what he
said in this article with reference
to A. A, Crane, is dead right" but
it was not news, as anyone with
half an eye can see what that gent
leman is working for. Politics are
alright at the proper time and
place, but it seems that it has yet
to be learned by many, even after
some experience. = Rathdrum Blade.
We do not know just what the
Blade means by the latter part of
the above paragraph. 1t is capable
of several interpretations. 1t may
be fling at Mr.. Crane; it may be
intended only for the HERALD; it
may aim at both; possibly it does
not mean anything. If the first, it
is Mr.. Cranes affair; if the second
later; if the third-strange bed
fellows; if the fourth-let's all take
something.
If it has any reference to the
KooTENAI HERALD, brethren, we
had just as we'll come to an under
standing. The HERALD is not
undertaking to boom Mr.. Crane
nor any other man politically at
this time. Neither is at attempt
ing to throw anything in the way
of any mans political aspirations.
To be plain, we have buried the
Ratchet with all parties, factions,
persons and sections. We still
have a patriotic feeling for the we'll
fare of Bonner's Ferry, but that
feeling is not SO deep that it will
impell us to battle for its interests
in the future single handed and
alone while others of its people are
pulling in an opposite direction in
order to gain selfish, personal adj
vantages. We have carefully look
ed the field over and we are salts
fed that there is quite as much in
it for us to pursue selfish course
as for anyone else, so we intend to
let well enough alone and take
matters as they come. Therefore,
our old feud with Rathdrum is al
an end. In the future, a Rath-
drum candidate for any office, pro
vided he is competent and worthy
, is just as satisfactory to us as {
man form any other section. The
Ratchet is buried.
There are just 100 reasons why
, we take this stand. The first is W,
are so situated that we do not hav,
to take the worst of the proposition
The other 80 reasons don't matter.
