A Timely Reminder.

Each season forces upon our consideration
it's own peculiar perils to health. The adj
vent of fall finds many reduced in strength
and vigor. poorly prepared to continue the
business of life The stomach and bowels,
the great highway of animal economy is es-
pecially liable to disorder in the fall The
nervous system has also suffered in the strug-

lar find in the fall that combination of earth,
air and water that marks this season as es-
pecially dangerous The falling leaves, the
decaying vegetables contribute their share
of contamination. Hoods Sarsaparllla fur
nishes most valuable safeguard at these inn
portant points, and should be used in the
fall before serious sickness has laid you low.

1t Was Dull.

In the matter of news this has been
a very dull week to say the least. NO
attempt was made this week by indi-
viduals literally endowed with the
frailtieS of man to turn the town up
side downside or to throw it into
the creek. There has not been even
a dog fight or runaway in town DUR
ing the week. At nightfall the town
appeared quiet and deserted and moth
ing could be seen or heard save the
.weird, plaintive howl Of the starved
coyotes in the neighboring mountains.
AS usual, each evening the scribe
sauntered forth in quest OF news but
only to return again to his sanctum

To Form a New school District.

During the past week petition for
a new school district on the prairie
was circulated and the board OF COM
mssiuners will be asked to pass upon
it at their next regular meeting in
October. The proposed new district
will comprise all of sections "a and
25 in township 81 north, of range
west B. NJ. and sections Is, II, 19,
20. p, %, 20, 80, 81, 81 and 33 in
township 81 north, Of range 4 west B.
NJ. This is one Of the most densely
populated localities on the prairie and
is about equally distant from the three
towns-Rathdrum, Occur d'Alene and
Post Falls, and the claims set up by
those who are endeavoring to organize
the new district are that it is too far
for their children TO attend school at
either of the above mentioned towns
and also at Hayden lake. In most
instances it is good policy to keep
districts intact just as long as posi-
BILE us a better school can thus be
maintained and the session each year
be much longer than after division,
but in this case justice demands that
the claims of those residing within
the boundaries of the proposed new
district should be be recognized, and
the commissioners should not hesitate
to grant the prayer of the petitioners.
We have not learned the number of
children of school aye residing in the
proposed new district, but there are
certainly ds many if not more than
the law requires. If a new district is
not formed these children will be de-
prived of the educational advantages
to which they are justly entitled.

When illness really comes into your

two things: Indigestion and expos ure.
You know how to prevent these. If
Illness from these sources occurs. a Judi

of Fred Wilkins who died yesterday.
Mr.. Wilkins is trying to secure per-

recites that Mr.. Wilkins died from
diphtheria although a sunstroke was the
primary cause.
The state laws of Illinois and Ohio
both prohibit railways from shipping
bodies of persons who died with diph-
liberia through the state. Mr.. Wilkins
will probably have to be buried in To-
