ARMY OFFICERS RESENT
PROMOTION OF MILLS
Jumping of a Captain Over Men of
Higher Rank Gives Rise to
Bitter Comment.

Army officers near the age Of retire
ment from active service are comment
ing freely in private on the recent army
promotions TO the grades OF brigadier
and major general. The jumping OF rank
ing officers by others lower down I'm
point Of seniority Is causing some anx-
iety. Some OF those I'm the lower ranks

AT recent meeting of the Business

subject Of erecting a hospital for the
treatment of consumptives. inebriates
and incurables was vigorously agitated.
While there is no doubt imperative need
Tor proper place TO care for such
cases, II is OF greater Importance that
the city should first remove the menace
to the health OF it's citizens.
Everybody knows that colds are often
conducive TO consumption. And every
body who is compelled to patronize the
columbia line knows how easy IL is to
contract cold by riding on the combina-
ton cars provided by the company. II
Is impossible for the passengers to pro-
tect themselves against the elements
when the weather is cold, rainy, or
when snow is falling. and | know full
wen that the cars have been the means
of spreading disease.
Is 1t not more important then, that
we devote our time 10 checking the

against II when too late?

Fast upon the heels of the whitewash
Wallis is candidate for the appoint
ment of special agent of the general
land Office, and that Senator Hepburn
and Representative French are support
ing him for the position. Evidently,
then one of the requirements of sue
cessful campaign for federal office is
that the applicant should be accused,
and justly too, of the commission of
such crimes as emhezzlement, falsify-
ing records and lnaladministration in
Office.
Senator Hepburn and Represen tatiye
French, to whom the people Of the
state of Idaho, look for protection
against such official conduct on the
part of the federal officers in the state,
should be the last to attempt to silence
charges or prevent the production of
evidence.
If these public officers recommend
the appointment of Mr.. Wallis before
he is in fact indicated in the matter
of these charges and has shown him
self of good repute, lit will be long
time before the good people of the
state of Idaho will forget it.
We believe that any person Of any
intelligence who reads the foregoing
affidavit cannot but conclude that but
little satisfaction can be afforded Mr..
Wallis from the commissioner de-
cision.

The fact that Granger is wi ped off

much satisfaction to Wyoming

Granger is marked by a dark spot

goods and come to Granger to dis
pose of them. His line Of dry goods

days later by the s'silent salesman, y

their money at home aud in return

The Flag Of Victory.

The thirteen Stars and Stripes was
triumphant at Saratoga in 1777, also in
the war of 1872, Mexican war, civil war
and Spanish war. With such a record
our flag has been truly called "The Flag
of Victory" On account of the unequal
led record of cures made by the famous
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters it has also
been truly called 1.-THE leader of its
class. In fact it is so safe and reliable
that prominent physicians all over the
country never hesitate in recommend
ing it to their most delicate patients,
knowing from past experience that if a
cure is possible the Bitters will effect it.
