Euture of the bicycle.

1t is agreed ny all bicycle manufa;-

to make better medicine for the
stomach, liver, kidneys and blood
A few doses of the Bitters will start

on the road to strength. A regular
course of treatment will bring back
the pink to the cheeks and the

of true health bestowed. Neve

Sheriff Bradbury turned over

Sheriff Bradbury turned over to
Treasurer Mcclure on Thursday
$1,000, it being the amount of
money collected for saloon licenses
for the month of March.
Mr.. Bradbury has turned in over
$4,000 for this quarter, which is
the largest collection for any quar-
ter in the history Of the county.
The practice inaugurated by the
present officials eliminates all pos
sibilities for sheriff to appropri-
ate license money to his own use
and turn it over to the county
treasurer at his option as has been
the case in the past.
On the first of each month the
sheriff receives from the auditor
the amount of blank licenses he is
likely to use during the month,
the same being charged to his &C
count. At the end of the month
the sheriff settles with the auditor
| in full for the licen ses received and
not returned. The practice of the
past allowed the sheriff to make
returns to the auditor and treasur-
er whenever a license was issued.
The new plan is vast improve.
ment of the old go-as-you-please
method which allowed a sheriff to
retain county funds in his posses.
sion, issuing his personal receipt
for money received from saloon
keepers and retaining the money
belonging to the county in his pos
session, using it frequently to pay
his private bills.

He Wanted to See Peter seih,

A gentleman living in the vicini-
ity of Hayden lake called in on
one of the county officers on
Wednesday and inquired for his
old friend Peter Seth, of Cocol-
lalla. When informed that Mr..
Seth was not in town, he seemed
much perplexed, and, looking at
the official with an air of suspicion,
he said:
els he not member of the
jury ?"
81 believe not. The commits
sioners did not place his name on
the jury list at their last meeting. /"
elbow does that come T" asked
the gentleman from Hayden lake.
"Has he not always been juror"
"Most always" was the reply.
"Then the commissioners select
the jurors, do they 2"
"Well, not exactly. You see,
they select 50 names from each
district and from these $50 names
a jury is drawn"
"Oh, l see; but that amt like il
used to be. Peter Seth always
told me Bob got him on the jury.
"He could not do that" said the
official, 'unless his name was frs
selected by the county commits
sioners.
ooh yes he could" was the re-
ply, "for Captain Pease told me
he would get me on the jury mex
time if voted for Cable"
AS he was about to leave tht
office he said, "Say, whers II
Captain Pease now +"
Before the official had time Il
answer train whistled and he
again hurriedly inquired, "Doe'
that train 60 to Cocolalla 7" Whel
assured that it passed through
there he started for the station a
a lively gait.
