this morning from Grangeville where
he delivered the Fourth OF July oratlon
and spoke at the pioneers reunion.
Mr. Jenkins is distinguished all over
this state from the fact that he is
prominently mentioned as guherLa-
torial possibility on the republican
state ticket. He was seen this morning
at the Raymond hotel where he was
endeavoring to cool of in the shade
where he was comfortably ensconced
in an easy chair. He stated that he hal

The line of action designated TO

Cleveland's permission to present his

The session Of the council last even
ing was one of the pleasantest affairs of
the year. There was full representa-
tion with the exception of Councilman
Kjos who is absent from the city. The
principal work of the session was the
reading of the reports of the various
officials and the allowance of . large
grist Of bills.
There We're but few discussions over
council everything being disposed of
with quickness and dispatch. With re-
lation to the recommendations made by
Water Superintendent Smith in which
,he asked that his assistants be allowed
larger salary the mayor stated to the
council that while the work of the men
was probably satisfactory that there
was but few months in the year that
they had to work long hours. He said
that he could not see how this matter
could be helped at this time as II was
his intention to carry out a line Of
economy during the present year and
That for the present to allow the rec

motion which received a second in
which he asked that the salary Of the
city librarian be increased from S45 to
soo per month. He stated that the
former sum was entirely insufficient
Tor the ability Of person like the IL
orarian and believed that the increase
snouid be made. Mayor Kress was
ravorably impressed with the idea but

convention he said It was one OF the
Quietest and most unanimous occasions

The address of the temporary chairman

draw away the attention from Roose-

reckless character by dwelling upon the
fact that at some period In Its history
the republican party had been a party
which did things and did them safely.

Of Health of Jacksonville, Fla, has

years. In a recent letter to the Peruna
Drug Mfg. Co., he expresses his approval
Of their famous catarrh remedy Peruna
in the following words;
"The health of the poor of a large city
is always a question of vital interest not
only to the city officials but to every
citizen. 1t has been a source Of much
satisfaction to me to find that so large a
number Of working people in moderate

their family medicine. 1t has cured q
large number of cases especially of ca
tarrh of the head, lungs and stomach
