Prohibition Party Platform
for Idaho County.
Grangeville, Idaho.

Oct. 10, 1898.
The prohibition party of Idaho
county, State of Idaho, in conven-
ton assembled, with abiding faith
in God and believing we ought to
show u faith by our works, aud
that all governmental reforms
come by the use Of the ballot, and
being DESTROYS of reforms in gov
eminent, we therefore declare our
allegiance to the national and
state prohibition party and plat
form, recognizing the fact that the
prohibition party furnishes a po-
litical home, built upon the founda-
ton of eternal righteousness, where
all who are opposed to the crime
of a Christian government licens-
ing an evil, can gather, organize
and cast their protest against that
crime and all other governmental
evils.
We demand, therefore, that our
Senators and Representatives who
may be elected, that they do all in
their power for the submission of
an amendment to the state con-
stitution, forever prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of all alco-
holic and malt liquors in the state
of Idaho.
We favor the election of county
Commissioners who will refuse to
grant saloon license aud thus make
a test of the constitutionality of
the present law which says: "They
grant such license"
We pledge the people of Idaho
county, that if elected to power
and intrusted with the affairs OF
the county, that our Commission
ers shall not retain over four dol
lars per day for their services, and
that none of the other county Off
GERS shall receive more than two
thousand dollars for a years salary:
with confidence in the business
ability and intelligence of the men
and women which we this day
place before the people for theil
suffrage, we invite all who with
us agree, to come and make theil
political home with us.

A certain wealthy man of this city
has set his nephew up i'll business
three times, but the young man lacks
something essential to success i'll the
mercantile line and failed with each
effort. When he came with the fourth
request for financial backing the uncle
demurred.
"You must learn to lean ON your
SELF" he said. 81 can't carry you all
your life. 1t would be an unkindness
in me to keep supplying you with
money to carry on enterprises that in
yaria " end in assignment. III tell
Won what I'll do. You owe a good
deal as the result of that last failure.
Pitch in on your own hook and so it
alone till you pay those debts off.
When yon have done that I'll give you
a check for all they amount to. Such
an experience would do You more good
than all the money l could give you
now.
Three months later the nephew
walked in with every claim rcceipted
in full, and the uncle was delighted
a. he gave the promised check.
"That's something like it, now, and
warrant you feel all the better for
the hard training. How did you man
age, Tom?"
Borrowed the money, uncle.

about that there is the making of il

SKATERS SIEGE GUNS,
5.Inch Rifles, 1-Inch Howitkers. 7-lnch
Mortars. Hotchkiss guns, Etc.


Skaters siege gun train is COM
posed of four batteries of four guns
each. The men behind the guns were
taken almost entirely from the Fifth
United States artillery,the crack artil'
lery regiment of the army. Brigadier-
General John | Rodgers, chief of ar
tillery, was the colonel of this regi-
ment for many years, and the men OF
the regiment got their artillery train
ing under his personal direction. One
of the four siege batteries Is made up
of 5-inch breech loading steel rifles,
finch breech- loading ritled howi'zers,
and 7-inch brcech loading rihcd NOR
tars. The exact makeup OF the bat
terry depends upon the works to he
attacked. These guns, which are too
heavy for field operations, are light
enough to he transported over com
mon roads upon the carriages from
which they are fired.
The total weight of the 5-inch rifle,
with its carriage, is 5543 pounds, the
rifle alone weighing $500 pounds. Its
length II. Is feet The proiertile which
it throws weighs forty-iive pounds.
Its range is about five miles, At 1000
yards the projectile penetrates Harvey
lied steel 4. 6 inches, at $500 yards 20
inches, and at $500 yards inches.
The siege howitzer weighs 371O
pounds, and with its carriage 5122
pounds. The length of the howltzer
is about six feet. 1t throws a prolec-
tile ~ inches long, weighing lob
pounds. Its effective range is from
two to four miles. The 7inch field
mortar weighs 1882 pounds, and with
its carriage 2470 pounds 1t is 49,
feet long and throws n prolectile of
l25 pounds.
A howitzer can be elevated at an
angle of % degrees and do effective
work. At that elevation it can throw
n shell from two to four miles, and
drop it where it will do the most dam
age. The mortars may he elevated
almost to the perpendicular. The
shells which they throw explode with
terrible damage to anything with which
they come in contact. What the rifles
and howitzers don't destroy the NOR
tars attend to.
Besides the siege guns, General
Shafter has number of Hotchkiss
mountain guns, all rapid fire, and he
also has ut his disposal the battery of
Colt guns given by Craig Wadsworth
to Rooscvelt's regiment and one dyna-
mite gun of the Sims Dudley pattern,
The hauling of the Hotchkiss guns
could be easily managed by the men,
and the dynamite gun is very light.
it is reckoncd that each Hotchkiss
md Colt gun is equal to about twenty
rifles.

General Garcia was never made aware
of the terms of surrender or consulted
in regard to negotiations or acts. His

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacksby stray dogs when riding
his wheel. set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an etlica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. As a result he has
brought out and patented a pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic
ious dog cannot withstand few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes. and
yet there is no danger of actually in
turing valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. The weapon
has proved so much of success as a
means of defense as well as fun max
ing, that the lucky inventor is realizing
much money from his device.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PlNKHAM.1

A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhapl- and frequently hystcrical.
The condition of the mind known as
"thc blues nearly always. with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science. any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and ncrv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to-
Lynn. Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.

Westphalia. Kansas, as told in the fol.
lowing letter:

fcrcd for over two years with falling,

ing unless he went in where he did and
ran his troops and artillery directly
ashore. lie thus has avoided exposing
his troops to the hardships suffered by
Skaters men as they lay for so many
days off Santiago. 1t is also suggested
that the general has scored an important
advantage in setting foot upon Porto
,Rcal soil before the first overtures had
been received from Spain looking to-
wards peace.
The departure of General Brooke and
General IIains from Hampton roads to
reinforce Miles in Porto Rico IS a very
substantial evidence of the purpose of
the government not to abatc the prose-
cution Of military operations at this
stage of the negotiations. The two gen.
erals are embarked on rapid liners and
should reach General Miles by Monday,
putting him in possession of a sufficient
force to begin the movement upon San
Juan at once.
The president has sent a dispatch to
Admiral Dewey asking him to give his
views as to the value of the Philippine
islands to the United States, what por-
ton. if any, should he retained by us for
naval and strategical purposes, the pros
poets of the insurgents being able to
establish and maintain a stable govern
ment, and his general views on the situa-
ton. 1t is understood the president will
be guided largely by Dewey's views. He
has the greatest confidence In the adj
miral's sound judgment, and he has
shown himself to be not only great
naval commander but a man of such
conspicuous tact and diplomatic ability
that the president feels he is safe
counselor, and the country will accept
his advice without question and follow
his counsel.
