have given me almost complete relief,
and l am sure that continuation Of
them will effect a permanent cure. Pc
runa is surely wonderful remedy
for catarrhal affections.-J. D. Botkin.
This is ease Of ca tarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years,
according to his statement, and Peruna
has at once come to his relief, promptly
accomplishing for him morebeneft than
he had been able to find in all other
remedies during quarter of a century
1t stands to reason that man Of
wealth and influence, like Congress-
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due,
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stom-
ach, it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case, and he will!
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

A STRANGE SIGHT
Thousands Witness the
Opening Of Ft. Hall
INDIAN RESERVATION
There Were All Sorts of People and
All Kinds of Conveyances at
Different Points in Line.

The opening of the Fort Hall
Reservation land for sett ement
took place last Tuesday and every
thing passed off well and without
hitch in the program.
Promptly at II o'clock the start
was made. With the first hoarse
scream of the whistle the motelY
horsemen were off In bunch and
in cloud of dust. A great cheer
burst forth with the start. There
was in the race a few wagons and
one or two buggles. All were out
of sight behind the Black Rocks in
exactly one and half minutes.
At the same instant smaller par
ties started for every other point OF
The compass. On the south side OF
the river there was quite bunch OF
starters. Some headed W Pocatello
creek, some due west over the
mountains and still others north
toward the few sections between
the five mile limit and the southern
boundary OF the reservation.
II was but short time until the
race for the land office commenced.
The meE who set out for land knew
where they were going and it didn't
take them long to locate the spot
Most of them raced back to the
city and waited for the special train
but some had provided relays OF
swift horses and race right through
to Blackfoot. One after another
they cIattered through the city
cheered on by their friends and
were soon lostin the dust of the
road leading to Blackfoot.
The scene at Blackfoot was one
of the widest excitement. The en-
tire population was out to see the
train come IN and long before it
pulled up to the station, the men
began to roll off. They fell all
along the side of the moving train
like sacks of grain fumbled from a
load=d wagon Some lied down the
EN- bankment. turning oyer several
times before they got to their feet.
There were bicycles " ith railroad
attachments, gasoline sneeders
hand cars and a special train that
crossed the reservation at speed |
Of fifty miles all hour, but the horse
was king, for from the remot st
part of the reservation he beat the
the speeder and the special
train.
The best time was made by Joe
Neester, who beat the special train
from McCammon, riding the fifty
miles on seventeen relays of horses
n two hours and twenty minutes.
The arrangements for handling
he crowd at the Land Office were
very good. 4 narrow alley way

Battle of 1902 Has Already
Commenced.
THEY ARE DESPERATE
The So-Called Party of Reform Find
1t Hard to Bolster Up Rapid
iy Waning Cause.

BOISE, Idaho June, 20,-Political
gossip ia the capital city during
the past week has revolved almost
exclusively around the democracy.
The week has developed a great
deal of com bination, moderate
amount of tnnesse and the usual
double dealing that follows in the
wake of each or both. The demo-
cracy finds itself in very awkward
position. The battle of 1902 COM
menced with the meeting of the
state committee, still the leaders of
the party have been unable, even
though considerable time has clap
sed, to arouse even sem blance OF
enthusiasm until, within the past
few days, they began to string can
didates 10 the political Christmas
tree. Every bit of available timber
for leading places on the ticket has
been pressed into service thus early
in the game in desperate attempt
to stait something.
First came Joseph Hutchinson,
exlieutenant governor. who an
nounced himself a candidate for
congress. On the heels of this an
nouncement came Colonel Dewey.
who wants to be United States
senator, then Attorney General
Martin for governor, and lot of
smaller fry. These announcements
were precipitated by the leaders OF
differ Mt factions, and against the
wishes of the individual candidates,
in order to bolster up a rapidly
waning cause. They would all
have come in time, but right now,
it was felt, the announcements were
highly necessary. The rank and
file of the democratic party had be-
come disinterested parties, SO to
speak, which is only another way
of saying many were sore and still
more disgusted. While announce
ments referred to has had the affect
of breathing life into a body that
was rapidly approaching the period
of dissolution. 1t operated much
as an injection of hop" on a has
been race horse, and now the leades
are busy in an endeavor to unravel
he tangled skein of factionalsm
that developed so suddenly as to
reveal with startling accuracy the
strong under current of dissatisfac-
ton that has existed for long time
in latent form. In other words,
the Mont Pelee of Idaho democracy |
has been started by the seismic
am oition and is about to blow its
head off.
So bitter is the factional feeling
that, totally unmindful of the
motive of leaders in rushing candi-
dates to the front. the democratic
party today is charging from four
sides upon itself The air if filled
with accusations and counter
charges and the leaders are raked
with fears lest the rank and file be
filled with a deeper disgust than
obtained before the time they
started the thing they cannot now
stop.
