When Ague
Shakes You

you can shake the Ague by using
AYERS AGUE CURE. 1t is the
one certain and infallible cure for
that depicting disease. 1t has been
tried in many countries and under
various conditions, and has never
been known to fail. An old veteran
writes:--
"You may be interested to know my ex-
perience many years ago with Ayers Ague
Cure The year before the war | was in
Kansas. Some twenty of US were engaged in
farming, and suddenly all were taken with
fever and ague. We tried almost everything
without getting any help, till at last sent to
the city and procured bottle of Ayers Ague
Cure. / recovered at once. The others fol-
lowed my example, and they, too, recovered.
Every one in camp took the remedy and was
cured by it. Invent all through the war,
have lived in thirteen different states of the
Union, and have never had the ague since"
OBJ. SMITH, st. Augustine, Fla.
There's only one thing to get for ague:

probably for these and other reasons
ldesignedly silent upon these points. It
| is considered that they were anxious
to have Washington escape the amin
diversions of the Conway cabal, whose
opposition would have been aroused at
any open attempt to make a hero OF
Washington and whom this cabal In
tended to supplant by Gen. Horatio
Gates Anyhow our official knowledge
upon the motives and principles that
may have influenced the trainers Of
the flag is very limited and gossip has
attributed the designing and the ar
rangement of the flag 10 a lady with
French predictions who lived in
Philadelphia
During the revolution many OF the
states had their own flags, and Lexlng-
ton was fought under waving stream
ers." Some people also go so far as TO
state that Washington copied the East
India company's flag which had also
thirteen stripes, red and white, but
such is not likely. Paul Jones claimed
that he first hoisted the flag Of Ameri-
ca on the Alfred. The national en-
blem was then a rattlesnake which in
deed came nearly becoming a national
emblem instead Of the eagle. The flag
Of the Ranger which was fitted out by
congress for Jones was thirteen stripes
with the rattlesnake undulating over
them and with the motto-Dont Tread
ON Me- However. from out Of all
these various devices there was
evolved a national standard designed
und Washingtons supervision and
which was accepted by congress. Il
was Mrs Ross who made the banner
which congress approved from a rough
sketch furnished to her and made by
the hand OF Washington SO that Il
seems clear, alike from the facts and
from the probabilities that the plans
and preferences of Washington domi-
mated the national flag. No story Of

which Is the grandest guidon the world
has ever seen. 1t is also one of the
Oldest though few seem TO know it.
The American flag really dates from
Jan 2, 1776, though officially only
from June II, 1777, when congress
passed the resolution decreeing that
the flag Of the United States should be
thirteen stripes alternate red and
white that the union be thirteen stars,
White 4 a field representing a new con-
s,s.alOn. This is nearly all that the
records tell. Whenever new state is
admitted a new star is added. The
respectable antiquity of our flag is best
realized by comparing it with that OF
other nations. The Spanish flag was
e-.aa.ished in 1885, the French tri-
c0.or n 1884, the Italian flag in lS4S,

crackers on the Fourth.

The days before the Fourth OF July
are always a time of tension for the
small boy. He feels that he ought to
begin right away His nerves tingle.
So do his fingers. And II there are any
explosives within reach of his fingers
there is apt to be more or less pre-
mature explosion.
Mr.. Podgers had laid in liberal sup
ply Of crackers and torpedoes for his
boys, as well as a large assortment of
sky-rockets and Roman candies. Some
of the crackers were OF the giant va
rlety. He cautioned his boys not to
touch any OF them until he gave them
ITO them on the Fourth, and he put
them away in the china closet In a
shirt box Then he went to the office.

have done such a thing, but Mr.. Pod

Their Sole Reliance.


The chairman OF the Republican
Congressional Committee was heard
70 say the other day, at Washington,
that unless they could speedily raise
$500, 600, they did not have dead
mans chance to control the next Con
gress.
The managers of the Republican
party have reached the point of be-
lieving that all they have to do when
they wish the votes of the American
suftragists is simply to raise SO much
money and buy them body and soul.
1t is bitter pill for the country
but we hardly zee how Mckinley is tc
get rid Of Secretary Of War Alger. He
opened his barrel in 1896 and was
promised in return a place IN the cabi
net. His record was known before
the deal was made and we are at O
loss to see just how Hanna Mckinley
can kick him out unless he chooses tc
go.

For populIsts.

In the counties Of Owyhec, Cuet9r,
Bannock, Oneida and Bear Lake, there
will be in the neighborhood Of 1000
votes In these five counties there is
no organization Of tile Populi5t party.
Without organization, it will be i'm
possible FOR poputist nominees on the
State ticket to receive anything like a
respectable vote. Populists should be
adherants to the cause Of bimetalism
In the majority Of cases they are.
There is not possible show for the
election Of Captain Gum, Mr. Andel-
son, or any other Populist on their
ticket, and hence, a vote for either Of
these gentlemen, or any other nomi-
nee is a hall vote for Mr. Hepburn, OF
Mr.. Moss, and all other gold standard
candidates in this election. The in.
tolligence Of the people Of Idaho, would
certainly be traduced, by elccting Mr.
Hepburn to Congress. The Populistt
do not desire that advise 20 back tc

logic OF their supporting the Silver
