In Memoriam-- r. B. King.

Harrington Il. King, whose
death at his farm near kooskia,
on April 3, was briefly announced
in these columns last week, was
born in Illinois, March Is, 1927,
and was therefore 73 years Of age
at the time OF his death. He
cross ed the plains to California in
1S49, where he resided few years
and then removed to Oregon;
here he was married in 1861 to
Miss Harriet N. Sweet. In 1868
he removed to Camas Prairie,
locating on the King ranch one
half mile north OF NJ. Idaho VIII ,re
he made his home until about five
years ago, when he removed to
the middle fork
Mr.. King leaves wife aud two
sons, Elmer w who resides with
his mother and Edward, who is
now in Salmon City. Efforts
made to reach Edward by wire
failed to bring him in time TO
attend the funeral, and it is UNI
certain whether he will come to
visit his mother at this time or
not. The cause of death was IL
general breaking down of the
system and not any particular
disease. In fact the entire family
have long enjoyed good health
Away back in the early '6O's Mr..
King was nominated for sheriff on
the republican ticket Of Nez
Perez county, which then included
all of northern Idaho, outside Of
Shoshone county, aud good part
of what il now Washington county
in the southern part of the state
and was elected. He never held
Office in Idaho county. having
never been OF the Office seeking
class, but he was none the less
active, both in politics and bust
ness. In association with his
nephew, John N. King, he started
a mercantile bust mess in what is
now the town Of Cottonwood, in
1887, when there was nothing
there but an eating house and
stage station, and they conducted
highly profitable business there
until they were succe eded by
Weller & Wax. Mr.. King was
the first Master Of Mt. Idaho lodge
No. 8, A. F. & A. M, upon its
institution in 1873, he having been
charter member, who took his
degrees in Oregon long prior to
his arrival in Idaho. The body
was brought from the family home
on the Clearwater to Mt. Idaho on
Friday, and on Saturday the
remains were laid to rest in the
beautiful cemetery under the
auspices and with the impressive
services of the Masonic order,
which were largely attended by
the brethren and by many old
friends from all parts OF the coun-
ty. The old pioneer now rests
beneath the pines alongside Of his
daughter Alice j Wall, who died
November II, 1885. Peace to his
ashes.

ALARGE INCREASE.
G. a. R. Bill Will Add Two to Three

New York, May S.-A special to the

ROOSEVELT'S VISIT.
Will Go to Washington and
Argue With Mckinley.

New York, May S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Politicians aredeeply interested in the
visit which Governor Roosevelt is about
to make to the national capital, and
freely predict that it will have an i'm
portant bearing on the approaching
campaign.
1t is well known that many of Presi-
dent McKinley's friends are exceed
ingly anxious to have the governor for
his running mate this year, but the
friends of New York's executive have
discouraged anything approaching this
plan. It is believed by many that Gov
ernor Roosevelt's visit at this time is
to present his final arguments to the
president in person.
In his recent trips to other states
Governor Roosevelt, it is said, has been
quietly informing himself exactly with
reference to the Republican situation.
Those who are in a position to know
assert privately that not for an in
slant would he hesitate to sacrifice his
personal desires if he saw that the Re
publican party really needed him on the
national ticket.
He never has had an idea, however, that
he is a necessity to President Mckinley S
success, and it is believed that he will
present proofs to show that his own views
are correct.
IS ABROAD InaC senator
! Plat has been convinced by Governor
! Roosevelts arguments and now believes
| it will be far better for the Republican
party to have him again as it's candidate
/ for the head of the ticket in New York
/ state. The campaign this year promises
4 to be a fierce one there, and without the
/ governor to head the state ticket, it is
more than limited that there is a chance
for the Democrats, and that Senator Hill
| is already figuring on this with grim sat
| isfactiOn.
Friends of the governor who have re-
| Gently been in this city have said that he
! has completely satisfied himself that the
| fears OF some Republicans that Presi-
/ dent Mckinley will need a strong running
mate to make his election possible are
unWarranted
It is even said that Governor Roosevelt
| is ready to produce advance figures to
| satisfy the dOubters of the truth of his
own convictions, and that it has been ar
ranged that he shall make his demonstra-
ton personally to the president and the
presidents advisers.
The fact that Governor Roosevelt comes
to Washington at this particular time an6
will remain several days is in itsel1
enough to assure thoSse who are watch
ing the political situation that confer
ences of unusual Importance to the Re
publican party are to take place.

CALIFORNIA LADIES
Experience With Drink.

while using Mocha and Java coffee,
I was finally thrown into serious case
of nervous prostration, with heart trou-
Bile and dizzy headaches. My husband
also had most serious stomach trouble
for years. We finally gave up coffee
and began the use of Postum. Both
husband and myself have now been per-
fectIy well for three years.
Mrs c. r. Holmes of 1916 Adair St,
and Mrs. AIDE Leonard, PA Twenty
seventh St, Los Angeles, both tried
Postum Food Coffee but did not boil it
fifteen minutes, according to directions,
and therefore did not like 1t. I made a
cup for each of them the right way and
now they use it daily and like it very
much
Mrs. Ida Sherman of Glib Wentworth
Ave, Chicago. had been quite i'll for
years with dyspepsia and nervousness
and I urged her to leave off coffee and
take Postum Food Coffee. She now
writes me that she is entirely cured
Mrs. Julia Moore of Riverside, Cal,
and also Mrs. Lily Staldn of Riverside,
We're both i'll for some years with heart
trouble. I told them Of my experience
with coffee and induced them to drop it
and take up Postum Food Coffee. Mrs.
Moore was cured and in three months
after making the change Mrs. Staldn
wrote that she had been relieved more
from leaving off coffee and using Postum
! than she had obtained from any medi-
cines.
I am naturally a strong advocate OF
/ Postum. Ina Maud Magee, l22 n

SOLD THE LOTS.
Exciting Debate Over City Property
on Lake Street.

Canon NJ. J. Bywater presented a pro-
position to the city council last night to
purchase the Lake street property be-
longing to the city for 1925
Councilman Morgan said: CT think 1t
is all right to be liberal but not with
other peoples property. 1t has been
said that this is no place for a fire sta
ton but dispute that. 1t is in just the
place for a fire station. I understand
the property cost the city $3.50 but Mr..
Elliott says it cost $375'
Councilman Elliott went to see the
lady that sold it and she said she got
1915 for the lots and would give $500
and we have been waiting since that
time but she has not come forward with
her money.
Canon Bywater-We have been work
ing in the Second ward for a long time
and have paid over s., 900 in rent AMI
we are now paying the lady Sc a month
who surreptitiously comes before you
and attempts to buy the place from I'M
der our feet. We want to build a church
and rectory there.
Councilman Weber-How many lots
are there?
Mr. EIliott-The property is so feet by
$50.
Councilman weber, would like to
know whether that is a fair valuation
for the property?
Councilman Snattinger-We know
| something about the value of property.
The Commercial club has been trying
to buy lots in that vicinity and the av-
erage price is from $3.50 to $3.50. I want
! to look at this from a business point of
| view. If we are going to sell it let US
| get what it is worth if possible. If we
| are going to make a donation to a
church let us give it without cost. l
would like to see this disposed of in a
| business way. 1 would therefore move
| that the proposition be referred back to
/ the committee.
Councilman Roundtree said he would
favor the proposition because the coun-
ell had already voted to make an ex-
change for property which was apprais-
ed at $125.
The motion to refer was lost
Discussion on the proposition was re-
sumed and Councilman Miller called at
| tentiOn to the fall in values of real es-
tate.
Councilman Morgan said he would
never vote to give away the property Of
| the city.
Councilman Belts said he did not be
| ieve the property is worth $3.50 but i.
worth more than S125.
Councilman Weber-Did the council
committee agree to sell the property fl
SIPS?
Mr.. Bywater replied that it had. no
and explained the trade which had fall
en- through.
The proposition was then accepted
