Whooping Cough.

a woman who has had experience
with this disease, tell how TO prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby
boy being only three months OLD, and
owing to our giving them ChamJerlaiu's
Cough Remedy, they lost none of their
plumpness and came out IN much
better health than other children whose
parents did not use the remedy. Our
oldest little girl would call Justify for

THE Kootenai County Repub-
hcan denies the statement Of the
Press that certain republican
officials have been dispensing pub
lie patronage in a manner which
they believe will promote their own
political ambitions. The Repub-
hcan may speak from authority.
After denying that Frank Gooding
is a candidate for governor, that
Judge Standrod is looking toward the
United States senate and that c. L.
Hoffman would accept 4 uomin-
alton for the supreme bench, the
Republican asks the Press how
many republicans sled charges with
the senate committee which report
ed in favor Of John F Yost for the
position Of register Of the land
Office at Cuur d'Alere" We must
CONFESS our lg noTance OF the number
but we understand they were numer,
Gus and since the senate in executive
session ignored the report Of the
committee and turned Mr.. Yosts
nomination down by a unanimous
vote, we have yet to hear 4 repub-
lican disapprove its action. AS
the senate is largely republican Mr..
Yost might justly cry: why am
I crucifed in the camp Of friends?"
But politics is politics and it is not
always the longest pole that knocks
the persimmon. Il does US good to
see party pay even tardy recogni-
ton to a newspaper man, and we
thought Brother Yost had this fat
land Office in his pocket after the
committee reported, but twas
ever thus since childhood's happy
hour. I've seen my fondest hopes
decay"

OUR IMPROVEMENT.

In another column we mention
the recent Improvements that have
been made in the PRESS Office.
These Improvements have cost
quite sum of money and we hope
the few subscribers who are still
in arrears will appreciate our enter
prise sufficiently to pay M 1t their
earliest convenience, We are sure
that we will appreciate such tavorS
at this time, and assure them that
the Press Will be made better As
business iustifes it These iEa-
provements give Us an office fitted
for business in a town Of 5000 in
habitants. In fact. we now have
modern rrintery in every respect
and OF. rapidly increasing circula-
ton is evidence TIA. our efforts 10
keep up-to-date are appreciated by
the public generally, although we
realize that there are a few sore
heads-but very few-wto will
growel at the Press because they
are unable to dictate its policy.
You will know them by their
grcwel and efforts TO injure the
paper. We have nothing but char
ity for their misguided judgement
and are too busy getting out q
paper that is read and appreciated
by the public to pay any attention
to their fruitless efforts. Let them
alone and they will be lost in the
swim in any community of enter
prising people such as we have in
C1ur d Alere.
In making these deals for the
printing machinery we depended
largely on the statements and re-
presentations of the American Type
Founders company manager, John
S. Pinney, of Portland, and the
local manager at Spokane, 4. d.
Alexander, and we found things
true to representation We have
had business aquaintence with
Mr.. Pinney since the eighties,
when he was manager of the
American Press Association in St.
Paul, MINI, and have always found
him a man of high character in
business dealings. The American
Type Founders company is forum
ate in having such a trustworthy
man at the head of its Portland,
Seattle and Spokane houses.

The PITH AND POINT
OF WHAT is SAID
By People of Americas in Various
Walks.
TALKED WHILE THEY TRADED.
A Roundup Of The News and Gossip
of a Day Here in Americas = A
Bunch of Little Tales Whacked off
Quite Short.

Get ready for garden work. Onion
sets, peas, and the freshest stock of
garden seeds of all kinds, at Hudson s
drugstore.
It would seem that dairy business
in Americas would pay well. It is
oftimes impossible to get milk of any
kind here.
Mr.. George Walters and family, who
removed from Americas to Plains
year ago, are to again make their home
in this city.
Quite good deal of the cotton I'M
sold here belongs to farmers about
Americue, who will get the benefit of
the rise in prices.
Alaper declares that the farmers of
Georgia are entitled to furnish gov
ernor occasionally. Some Of our abIest
men live on the farms.
The salary of the attorney general in
Georgia is very smaIl-only So, 900 a
year-and few of the lawyers are rum
ming for the long term.
Local dealers are now doing a rush
ing business in the sale of valentines,
and bushels of the Glowing" epistles
will be mailed Friday
The city council has been so busy
loaking after other contracts this year
that the contract for lighting the streets
is apparently overlooked.
Very little is said as yet concerning
the local option election which will
probably take place in August. But
the people are thinking hard.
Americas has rarely witnessed better
plays at popular prices than those pre-
sented at the opera house this week.
See the great play there tonight.
The attendance at the opera house
last night was larger than Monday
night, when the company here played
to one of the best houses of the season.
The visiting Eks who come to Amer
lcus to-day are, like those here, repre-
sentative people of their respective
cities. A welcome here is extended
The recent homicide in Atlanta, re-
s1i'ing IN the killing of MIR. Jesse
Pop of Americas, wal generally s.
cussed here yesterday and much de-
pured.
The announcements of Hon. T. G.
Hudson for the senate from this dis
trict is the first in the campaign. But
there will be many others after the sew
eral offices.

MOL PRESSED THE INDICTMENT
Gaming Gases Are Dismissed in The
City Court

Several well kno4n young men
breathed easier yesterday than in
months past when an indictment charg-
ing one of their number with gaming
was mol pressed in the City Court for
lack of evidence to convict.
For the freeing of one meant the
same good luck for all of them
Four or five Indictments of this kind
were thus disposed Of and the sword
of DamocIes which, for six months had
been suspended over them, was pulled
down.
It will be remembered that at the
spring term of court, year ago, some
twenty or more true bills for gaming
cases were returned. This, naturally,
caused quite stir, owing to the promi-
nence of some of the men indicted.
Numbers Of them walked up to the
captains Office and settled, entering a
plea of guilty
But there were others, and these de-
termined to fight the charges against
them. When the first case was called
yesterday it was deemed that the evi
dence to convict was insufficient, and
the case was mol pressed
And thus was the winter of their dis
content made glorious spripgtime.
