Competitor is SO fierce among the
makers and retailers of $3.50 shoes
that each strives to make the best
looking shoe. AS a result money that
should be spent on making the shoes
good is devoted to making them good
looking. From the very beginning
Meigs & Co. have been particularly
watchful of the quality of feathers and
findings into their own special make
of shoes, the Zenith. TheyOhave also
insisted upon making these shoes as
good as possible, the finish being the
final consideration. The result of this
policy is seen in the wonderful growth
of Meigs & Co. S, shoe business, based
entirely upon the splendid service
Zenith" shoes always render. But
style is not neglected.; for these shoes
will bear comparison with many higher
priced shoes.

They Ought to Rehearse.

In the Occur d. Alene Press of a
recent date there appears the fol-
lowing:
The New Year ushers in an era Of prosperity
tor Northern Idaho and the state in general
which it has not enjoyed before in Its history.
The above is in strange contrast
with the clamity editorials that
have appeared from time to time in
that other fusion organ, the Silver
Blade. 1t suggests that these two
Fusion editors ought to meet and
have an occasional rehearsal. AS
to Bro. Scott, he is free lance, and
it is not surprising that his better
nature should occasionally assert
itself in spite of his fusion en-
tanglements and the truth flow
from his pen. The other fellow
couldn't make a statement that
wasn't warped to fit fusion calam-
lty if he wanted to-his master
would not permit it.

Prosperity.

The New Year of 1902 is born in
the midst of prosperity, especially
in our own country. Never was
reports more favorable, money
is easier and more per capita in the
United States than has been known
for many years, trade is brisk in
all lines Of business, wages are good
in every particular. Only on Dec.
% at Chicago, at a general mana
gers meeting of the great railroads
of our country a general discussion
took place as to raising the wages of
trainmen, in fact the meeting was
called for that purpose, and it will
no doubt result in the increase of
several hundred thousand working
mems wages. Reports from all
points indicate a general wave of
continued prosperity.-Harrison
Searchlight.
During the past week an order
was issued raising the wages OF
$4,000 men on the Pennsylvania
railway system alone.

and schemers and believe that it
will prove abortive. The pres, mt
state committee of the Peoples
Party has received instructions
from the membership of the party,
almost without exception, favoring
the maintenance of the organiza-
ton, and its upbuilding IN every
precinct in the state. This will be
regarded as a sacred trust, and
neither the schemes nor the plots
of Democrats will be allowed to
disturb it.
With the one exception of Sho-
shone county, there is no move
ment whatever in sympathy with
this Democratic plot. Even in that
county, though its county commit
tee proved false to its duty, the in
oividual members of the party are
refusing to allow the committee to
deliver them to the Democracy.
Volunteers In that county are step
ping into the breach made in the
organization, and in a short time
every precinct in that county will
be represented by true Populists on
its county committee. The battle
ments there will soon be manned
by Populists, true in every fibre,
and work Will still 90 on.
AS "a member of the official or
ganization of the party IN your
county, 1T is your duty to resist
this effort to steal our mem bersnip.
Ii you are in sympathy With this
move to absorb US, then have the
courtesy to forward your resigna-
too to the proper party at once.
Don't be traitor. Don't retain
your membership in our organiza-
ton, when you are a Democrat al

a WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sun.

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders,
acid gases, inhalers and drugs in
paste form. Their powders dry up
the mucuous membranes causing
them to cracl; open and bleed. The
powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away same
membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and
ointments cannOt reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made a
close study and speciality of the
treatment Of CATARRH, has at last
perfected a Treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures Ca
TARRH, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing
all inflammation. 1t is the only
remedy known to science that actu-
ally reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as
"SNUFFLEs the GuaranteedCATARAH
CURE" and is sold at the extremely
low price of One Dollar, each pack
age containing internal and exter-
nal medicine sufficient for a full
months treatment and everything
necessary to it's perfect use.
"SNUFFLEs" is the only perfect
CATARRH CURE, ever made and is
now recognized as the only safe and
positive cure fnr that annoyingan
disgusting disease. 1t cures all in

A ROAR is being made because
Senator Heitfeld is at home fixing
up his political fences instead of
being at his post of duty assisting
other venerable senators in contriv-
ing means to fight the octopi. But
it appears that the Senator has a
little merger" of his own that is
giving him more concern than those
that the Republican governor of
Minnesota is fighting. He is at
this time engaged in the difficult
task of merging the Populists into
the democratic party. The objec-
ton to Senator Heitfeld abandon
ing his post to devote his attention
to his personal interests lacks the
force usual in such cases for the
reason that his vote would not
effect any measure in the senate
and his personal influence on leg
islation has about the same signiti-
canoe as a white chip. Let Idaho's
political merger continue his way
in peace.

Populist Troubles.


the Democracy does not appear t,
be an unqualified success. Outside
of the dynamiters in Shoshone
county, there appear to be few who
are ready to follow the Senator.
The following letter has been sent
out by the Chairman of the Popu
list state committee and gives some
idea of the condition of affairs
CIRCULAR LETTER NO. 4.
BOISE, Ida, January 4, I902.-To
the Members of the State Central
Committee and the Various County
Central Committee of the Peoples
Party of the State of Idaho, Greet
ing: You are doubtless aware of
the fact that a determined effort is
now being made to deliver the en-
tire membership of the Peoples
Party into the ranks of the Dem
ocracy. While we have no doubt
that our voters will refuse to be so
delivered, yet the urgency of the
case prompts us to address you at
this time.
The leader in this nefarious and
Infamous plot is no less person
age than Senator Henry Heitfeld.
His term as United States senator
is about to expire and he 50 anX-
ious to secure reelection that he
has deserted the party that has so
signally honored him and joined
hands with the Democrats to throttle
the principles so dear to Populists.
He is not content to leave our
party in peace after deserving it,
but is even now neglecting his du
ties at Washington, and is parad-
ing up and down the state in an
effort to seduce the mem bership of
the party and cause them to be-
come, like him, traitors to the
principles SO long urged by us.
We desire to warn you against
any attempt on the part of the SEN
ator to lead you to the Democracy
The whole aim and object of this
move is selfish one-to make sure
/ the reelection of certain officials
including, among others, the sena-
tor himself, and to render theil
, hold upon the state one that Can
DOT be broken. The TACT that the
{ Democratic party is, to all appear
an ses, about to desert Bryan anC
the reforms he stands for and take
up German and Hill and the plu
tocratic beliefs they stand for
makes no difference to these plot
: ters-their personal success is O
f more importance than principle
/ and their continued power in poll
t tice of more consequence than tn,
D welfare of the people.
Shame upon such political dis
honestly Their idea of American
, manhood and American citizenship
. must indeed be low to cause then
@ to believe that such attempts worlC
4 be successful, or that our peopl
e are base to the true principles o
: Populism as to follow them.
1t is claimed by Senator Heitfel,
8 that his policy in this state is par
v of similar national move
ment on the part of on
people. This is absolutely an
unquali6edly untrue. There is n
such move, national or otherwise
The proper medium for such actio
to be taken, were it in contempla
ton, would be through the regular
ly constituted state committees {
the party. No such word has bee
received from our national authol
tiles. As matter of fact, the eS
act contrary is the case. The OF
