cut it down TO $50, and before the
close of that year his son, in a
drunken spree, killed man, and
his father had to mortgage his
home for $4,000 to keep his son
from being hung. That was a
bad go. Let me tell you, mothers;
listen! Since came to this town
young man, a son of a mother
here, came to my. room and said !:
& am ruined in character-l have
gambled away money that don t
belong to me; I am wrecked and
ruined.' And yet, mothers, you
are doing nothing for the w. C.

Twelve women! Isn't a woman

'Yes.') Have you ever been
called a crank, Bro. Thomas? (to
the pastor) (No answer.) If not
it is because you are OF no account
| never knew a man or woman in
the church that was of any

sister. Bro. Thomas, do you
believe that every Christian wo-

W. G. I. u? Ono, sir Well,
how can a Christian woman keep
from joining? CANS. Some of
them are old, and some of them
don't think about it,. But they
are racking around to theatres
and card parties almost every day
and can't go to w. c. T. U.

SWELL PREACHERS.

There are such ones, here and there,
They put on airs and assume great di-
10 pensions, and look learned They chew
the dictionary and fling out mountain
GUS words, and appear Solomonic. Mr..
George 7. Angel writes of a preacher
whom he heard. and he says this of him:
"In the sermon he spoke of ethics and
economics, encyclopedia man, specula-
tive orthodoxy, psychology, isosceles
triangle, unifyipg force from the great
Universal Self, elaborate schemes of So
cial organization, Antinous and Apollo,
complex realism, sociological expansion.
and the old skeleton of defunct philos
ophy, etc, etc., all of which, while doubt
less Ineligible TO the Lord, was an un-
known language to nine-tenths of the
congregation" just so. Aud, very like
ly, he had quite a number Of hearers who
rolled up their eyes, as the ponderous
words proceeded out of his mouth, and
said to themselves, "What a wonderfully
smart man our pastor isl Why, he is
the most scholarly minister that ever
preached in this town." But. then,
others would set him down as a swell
preacher, full of literary wind, blowing
a gale. Oh. dear! what pity that such
men can't hear the Lord telling them to
quit fooling!-JournGl & Messenger.

sense of recognition man gives of his
possessions, that man may enjoy re-
ligious communication with his fell
bw creatures, and together they may
adore the source of their being. But
true worship proceeds from the inner
life. We worship the revealed God;
we adore the Father of all; together
we may sing:
Praise God from whom a 1 b'essin IS flow,

Praise him We heavenly hosts al owe.

The HERALD has said nothing
about candidates on the county
ticket. The personnel of the ticket
has been Of minor importance as
compared to the issues at stake.
But now that the fight is over and
the victory won, it is well to CON
slider who should be the standard
bearers. We are satisfied that we
speak the sentiments of the great
majority when we say that those
who have born the brunt of this fight
should receive the reward if they
should ask any favors at the hands
of the convention.

Tough On The Settlers.

Word was received from the
Ceur d. Alene land office that the
Northern Pacific railroad had filed
on the lieu land strip, thus compel
ling a contest with a large number
of the valley settlers to quiet their
title. This lieu land strip stretches
through the valley from the 10th to
the 50th mile limit, extending clear
to the international boundary line.
Each settler may apply to file on
any portion of these lands and thus
inaugurate contest. Thirty days
are allowed to arrange for hearing
before the the land office official.
The fees for filing on these lands
are the same as the fees charged
for lands within railroad limits.
Owing to the extremely bad for
tune Of some Of the valley farmers
who settled upon these lands under
the impression they were without
the railroad lands, they will not file
at all. Improvements of consider
able value have been made by the
farmers and the loss will be very
severe. Some of the men have
been in the valley for seven and
eight years.

S. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor

THE Rathdrum aggregation is
long in mud. They certainly
have slung good many
barrels of it at the HERALD in the
past five years, from mud squirter
Mcdonald down to his pupil Yost.
But the people are on to the aggre
cations methods. Their efforts to
carry the republican primaries is
illustrative of that. Week in and
week out they have come out with
column after column of mud and
falsehood. The mud was to dis
credit their opponents and the false
hood to attract attention from main
issues. The net result of their vii
famous course is that they will not
have even a respectable minority in
the next republican convention of
Kootenai County.

You And Your Grandfather.

Are removed from each other
by span Of many years. He ira
yelled in a slow going stage coach
while you take the lightning ex-
press or the electric car. When he
was sick he was treated by old
fashioned methods and given old
fashioned medicines, but you de-
mand modern ideas in medicine as
well as in everything else. Hoods
Sarsaprilla is the mediciue of today.
1t is prepared by modern methods
and to its preparation are brought
the skill and knowledge of modern
science. Hoods Sarsaprilla acts
promptly upon the blood and by
making pure, rich blood it cures
disease and establishes good health.

OUR gold bug governor is using
some striking illustrations these

WE do not believe that the dem
ocratic leaders in this state will un-
dertake to oppose the return of SEN

they do, they are going to be bad

stay with them. They have no
strings on the common voter this
year.

PETERSBURG. VA, July 15-(Spe-
cial.)-Petcrsburg would have shut the
Champions out. but for Scott's error in
the fifth inning. and Norcom's error in
the eighth. Ktson and Boylan were the
opposing pitchers. For four innings Kit
son kept the Champions down TO two
hits. but in the fifth, and after two men
were out, and Scott had an easy chance
10 retire the side. they hit him for four
singles. These hits. with two bases on
balls ana "a wild pitch, netted the Cham
pions 1--WE unearned runs.
Norcom took Kitsons place in the sixth,
and the Champions only got one single
on him during the four innings he was
IN the box. In the eighth inning Nor
com was very wild, giving the first three
men that faced him their bases on balls.
a wild throw by Norcom and a fly to
deep centre-held gave the visitors two
more runs
Boylan was hit hard, seventeen hits
being made of his delivery, with total
OF thirty bases. The game was remark
able for phenomenal fielding. the work OF
Brcen and Leahy being brilliant. The
batting Of Bradley. Hallman, and Kelly
was the feature Of the game. The score:
