How to Cure a Cold.

The question how to cure cold with
out unnecessary loss of time is one in
which we are all more or less interested
for the quicker cold is gotten rid of
the less the danger of pneumonia and
other serious diseases. Mr.. B. W. L.
Hall, of Warverly, Va, has used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for years
and says: 81 firmly believe Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to be absolutely
the best preparation no the market
for colds. 1 have recommended it to my
friends and they all agree witty me-"

Under the new law every voter
must register anew each year
and in view of this fact the
CHRONICLE would request all the
voters, male and female, to reg
lister before it is too late. If
you lose your vote you lose your
right to a say as to how our
government shall be administer
ed so don't let such a small mat
ter as registering keep you from
voting. Don't put it off until
the last minute but do it NOW.

REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY

The republican party of this
state has declared in favor of the
"stand-pat" policy, and will con-
duct its campaign along those
lines. The editor of the NEWS
LETTER has always believed that
a protective tariff was the best
policy for this country; but lately
there have been some very UNI
pleasant things that can be trac-
ed directly to the present tariff
policy of the republican party.
What hits a newspaper man the
hardest is the fact that the price
of type and paper has raised
without cause. What hits the
Palouse farmer hardest is the
unprecedented advance in the
price of lumber and fuel and the
high price of farm machinery.
American patriotism calls for
the support of home industries,
but when the corporations take
undue advantage of the fact that
their competitors cannot sell
goods here at less than a certain
figure on account of the tariff,
and put their prices up to the
top notch next to that figure, al
though it costs only a small per-
centage of this to manufacture
their products, there is certainly
something wrong somewhere
that needs fixing mighty quick.
The republican party has not
kept its promise of prosperity.
There is more money per capita
in the land than ten years ago,
and there are more paupers in
proportion to the population.
The "stand-pat" policy means
that a favored few are to contin-
ue to grow richer at the expense
of the many.
We fail to see what benefit it
will be to any of us in the state
who have not the promise of a
political job for faithfulness to
vote for a continuance of the
policy that is making US pay
more every year for the neces-
sites of life. American indust-
ries are big enough, strong
rich enough to enter the
markets of the world on a
competitive basis without the
paternal assistance of the gov
and sell their products
at a good profit.
This government is supposed
to be run by the people, for the
people. Instead, is run by a
few, for a few. A radical
change is needed. Cotton

The way Peter Orcutt, of the
Troy News, is mixing it up over
in Latah county with the re-
publican ring" is sight to see.
The News was formerly quite
strong in support of French and

something rotten in Denmark"
for he has been lambasting them
right and left lately, with a side
swipe at Gooding and the re-
publican ring" and as evidence
of how we'll the ring" likes it a
letter was recently published
stating that all the Troy business
men would withdraw their sup
port and ruin the News if it did
not stop it's fight. Orcutt denies
the truth of the letter. It is
said he has even been threatened
with mob violence unless he
ceases his fight but we will bet
Peter will show that mob a

New Heat Accumulation Law.
Professor T. J. J. See Of the Mare
island naval observatory has announc-
cd new law Of heat accumulation In
an article for the Atlantic Monthly, by
virtue of which he predicts that the
future of the suns activity will be
three times as long as that of the past,
thus overturning the prevailing astro-
nomical theory Calculations made by
Professor See prove the existence of a
Jaw applying to the life Of every sun
and star, according to which the heat
steadily increases while the body is
gaseous and then slowly dies down
by secular cooling when consolidation
sets in and the light begins, to wane.

French Farm Workers Win.
The organization of the agricultural
laborers of France into union has
resulted in successful strikes through
out the country, the employers having
granted the increase in wages de-
handed. The movement has lasted
only a month and is now spreading to
Belgium.
New York Food Supply Held Up.
The deck hands employed on tugs and
freight car floats in New York harbor
struck for better wages, and In conse-
quence the big city's supply of milk,
fruit and vegetables was seriously in
terfered with. The men ask $50 and
$40 month for day work and $50 and
$65 for night They ask for an increase
on the ground that twelve hours day
is worth more than what they are now
getting. The men are not members OF
any national labor organization.
Nevada Miners Avert Trouble. -ea.-a4 stl
The silver and gold miners Of Nevada
have signed three years wage sched-
ule containing the increase asked for.
The scale agreed to provides for a
minimum of 81 for eight hours work,
with $3.50 for more expert classes of
work.
Eight Hour Day For Southern Pacific.
Freight conductors and brakemen in
the employ of the Southern Pacific rail-
way system have prepared new pay
and working schedule which had been
unanimously approved by the Order of
Railway Conductors and which will be-
submitted to officials Of the road with
sixty days In which to consider it.
The new arrangement provides for an
eight hour work day to supersede the
ten, twelve and thirteen hour days
now in practice on the road. An adj
vance in wages is also asked. This
class Of employees complain that con-
ditions have been far worse for them
since the San Francisco fire. Bust
ness, they say, has been better than
ever before, but the men have been
overworked without additional pay.

Upon a test case the New York city

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots
DR. Pierce believes that our American for
ests abound in most valuable medicinal roots
for the cure of most obstinate and fatal dis
eases, if we would properly investigate them;
and in confirmation of this conviction, he
points with pride to the almost marvellous
cures effected by his vGolden Medical Dis
covery," which has proven itself to be the
most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigor-
ator heart tonic and regulator, and blood
cleanser known to medical science. DySpep-
STA, or indigestion, torpid liver functional
and even valvular and other affections OF
the heart yield to its curative action The
reason lchy it cures these and many other
affections. is clearly shown in little book
of extracts from the standard medical works
which is mailed free to any address by Dr. r.
request for the same.
Not less marvellous in the unparalleled
cures it is constantly making of woman's
many peculiar affections. weaknesses and
distressing arrangements, is Dr. Pierce's
FavOrite Prescription as is amply attested
by thousands of unsolicited testimonials con-
tributed by grateful patients who have been
cured by it Of catarrhal pelvic drains painful
periods, irregularities, prolapsus and other
displacements caused by weakness, ulcer
alton of uterus and kindred affections often
after many other advertised medicines, and
physicians had failed.
- -
Both the above mentioned medicines are
wholly made up from the glyceric extracts Of
native, medicinal roots. The processes en-
ployed in their manufacture were original
with DR. Pierce. and they are carried on by
skilled chemists and pharmacists with the
aid of apparatus and appliances specially
designed and built for this purpose. Both
medicines are entirely free from alcohol and
all other harmful hahit-fOrmiEg drugs A
