mittee, that Idaho will cast It's vote
for Parker and the democratic state
ticket, scarcely day passes that
some old line democrat does not an
nounee his intention of voting the
the republican national and state
ticket. Last Saturday Col. S. E.
Myer of Boise, one of the wheel
horses Of democracy in Idaho stated
that he would vote for the entire re-
publican state ticket for the reason,
as Mr.. Myer put 1t 1--WE have no
democratic ticket in the state. .
Continuing Mr.. Myer said:
"Tbe organization calling itself
Democratic organization Is making
no campaign whatever for the candi-
dates for the presidency and vice
presidency, and have openly re-
pudiated through interviews and
otherwise the Democratic national
platform. Instead of a Democratic
party we have an organization under
the name Of Democracy composed
Of few individuals who are con-
Quoting a guerilla campaign. So
far as / am concerned, / shall work
and vote for the Republican state
ticket. / believe it to be to the best
interests Of the state, and ! cannot
under any theory indorse the system
of politics which individuals from
selfish motives have called Demo
cracy."
AS further evidence that great
number of democrats are focking to
the support of the republican ticket,
we publish the following which ap-
peared in Saturdays Statesman:
"A private letter received here
from Nez Perez Democrat who is
in close touch with the situation
there states that 500 Democrats in
that county will vote the Repnbli-
state ticket while supporting Parker
aud Davis. That is the way the
matter is running all over the atate.
There is not county where con-
siderable proportion of the Demo
Gratis will not support Gooding and
the entire Republican state ticket,
And what adds to the interest of
the situation is the fact that there
are about as many, perhaps more,
who, while supporting the Demo-
cratic state ticket, will vote the
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The
situation has had few parallels in
politics, conditions having arisen
here which leaye comparatively few
Democrats who will vote their ticket
straight. The Republican national
ticket will receive the supporter one
class and the state ticket will get the
votes of another.

the surgeon general Of the United
States army that the total number of
candidates examined for enlistment;
was 45,21S and that of this number
about two-thirds, or 30,176, were az
cepted. This is large proportion when
the fact is taken into account that the
standard of excellence required is very
high, none but physically perfect men
being accepted.
OF the 45,21S applicants for enlist
ment 20, 1873 were white men and 3,03I
were colorcd men. OF the white men
37,790 were accepted and of the colOrcd
men 2,3S6
Out of every 1000 men accepted
7S1.05 on the average were born in the
United States. 647G in British territory.

A Hard Won Dinner.

Several days ago five or six spar,
rows were picking away in the gutter
Immediately in front of an engine
house downtown when cat crept
across the street and bounced upon
one of them. Instantly the victim
companions sent up war cry, which
was as instantly answered. From
housetop and tree the sparrows flockcd
to the scene, and with whirring, hiss.
ing cries of noisy rage they fearlessly
attacked the offender.
For half minute the daZed cat en-
dured the blows from perhaps half y
hundred tiny beaks and twice as many
wings. Then, still holding her prey
she struggled away from the infuri,
ated little birds and ran into the en-
CINE house. The plucky little fellows
followed her inside, but soon gave NJ
the chase, leaving her with her dearly
bought dinner a sadder but a wise!

some Mattresses of the latter kind, but we do
not sell them, we only have them to show you

Mr.. Baker Tells How he Was
Cured by Barosma.

Pleasantville, Pa, Dec 10, 1897.
Six years ago last fall was a great
sufferer from sciatic rheumatism
starting in my kidneys and running
down my thigh, disabling me for any
kind of work, and was compelled tc
walk with cane to relieve my pain
I heard of some of the wonderful
cures made by Thompson's Barosms
and bought bottle, and to my de
light, the second dose seemed to act
upon my kidneys at once, and the pain
began to leave, running down the
sciatic nerve Of my leg and so on out OF
my system. In one week after | com
menced taking Thompson's Barosma
I rode one hundred and fifty miles in a
buggy without any inconvenience and
have been well man ever since. Will
answer any questions to those who sui
fer as did.

Mustn't Waste The Gas

A curious case known as the
Louisville Gas Co., VS.. the Ken
lucky Heating Co., has just been
decided In favor of the latter by
the Court of Appeals as Frankford
XIV. The case grew out Of alleged
efforts of the Louisville Gas COM
pany to destroy the Meade county
natural gas fields, from which the
Kentucky Heating company has
been taking the gas 1t furnishes to
consumers In Louisville. The
former company took over num-
Der of leases OF land made In the
county. In this territory 1t erected
what Is called a lampblack factory
When 1t began operations the Ken
lucky Heating company had a gas
pressure Of sixty pounds, and IN
five months this was reduced to 30
pounds. In FIVE months the fac
tory produced 800 pounds of lamp.

had consumed about 9 200, 900
feet of natural gss. The lamp black
was never shipped from the factory.
On these facts the chancellor en-
Joined the operation of the lamp

against wasting natural gas.

Women

Cured by the use Of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you eat fails to give strength
to your body, II is because the juices Sc
creted by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics Of the food into blood. That is
indigestion. The system IS deprived OF the
amount of nourishment required TO keep up
the strength, and the result is that one OF
more of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker, until finally it is
diseased. Here great mistake is made.
That of treating the diseased organ. The

MAGAZINE NOTES.

The CGmtuEy M0B4EAnCs
 The openi<g article of The Century Magazine IS: The Evolution of the Horse n America" It is the first complete account of the American Mu- scum Explorations under the William c. Whitney fund, being a relation con- cerning the fossil wonders of the West. The paper Is by Henry Fairfield Os- born, Da Costa, Professor of Zoology in Columbia University, Curator in the American Museum of Natural History. The paper is profusely illustrated from photographs and with pictures by Charles R. Knight.
 MT. London's serial ends with a res cue of the lovers from the sea and the Sea Wolf.
 Roger and Bernard Boutel de Mon vel give story and pictures of The Traders of France"
 John Russell writes a storX of ''The Man Who Forgot"
 Some very dimly drawn people re- volve and dissolve about an immoral moral which seems to be the sort Of story that is to precede the Millennium. Some very interesting groups of pie lures are given in the magazine. The photographs of The Peeresses of Ja- pan in Tableaux," taken at their first public entertainment for charity, are most interesting.
 Andrew D. Whites "A Diplomats Recollections of Russia" make the most delightful series of papers now appearing serially.
 Other interesting articles are: The Brain of the Nation" by Gustave Mich and "''A New Occupation: The Welfare Manager" by Lillie Hamilton French; "A Leader of the Tibetans." by J. Den iber; Our Modern Blue Jacket" by R. r. Zcgboom; Japanese Devotion and Courage" by Oscar King Davis.
