CAUTION!

This is not gentle wOrd-but when
YOU think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
largest sale OF any medicine 10 the
world since 1868 for the cure and
treatment OF Consumption and
Throat and Lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists
and Others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, but for severe
Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup-and es-

Criticism and Criticism

THE Idaho Legislature has &C
complished but little aside from
ele ;ting a senator and appropriat-
ing $50, 900 for expenses.-Coeur
d'Alene Press.
Such critisism as this, from a
Democratic paper, concerning q.
republican legislature, might be
expected, unjust as it nevertheless
is. Though the Seventh legislat-
ure, now in session at Boise, has
not done as we'll as it might have
done, yet it has accomplished bus
mess which makes it compare fav-
orally with any Legislature which
ever convened in Idaho, and, in
fact, it has already accomplished
as much business as was transact
ed by any fusion legislature in an
entire session. The sensible, and
expeditions manner in which II
disposed Of the senatorial contest,
allowed it nearly the entire session
in which to dispose Of the legislat-
i've work before it. We may think
whether unjustly or otherwise,
that it has not made the best use
of the precious time at its disposal,
but if it had done its best, there
would still be those ready to crit
else, to find fault and to vent the
dissatisfaction born of disappoint-
mcnt, partisan feeling, political
fervor or downright eontrarincss.
In speaking OF county division
the St. Maries Courier says:
Sentiment OF the southern por-
tion Of Kootenai county is undoub-
tedly in favor OF the division, and
the move is in the right direction.
A large portion of the northern
part Of the county is also in favor
of the division. Rathdrum is an,
xious to hold the county seat and
naturally is therefore opposed to
any division.
Apparently tie Courier takes
but superficial and roseate view
of the matter. If the county is
divided, the Courier will be quick
ly undeceived, by the groans o.
the tax payers. St. Maries ough'
