The Spokane REVIEW ol aug Us
u, prints an important interview
with ". E. Borah, who is now in
north Idaho. 1t may be consider
ed as the formal opening OF the
campaign. The Review says;
In an autograph statement lssu-
ed last night, w. E. Borah, nsml-
ee Of the Republican party for
United States senator from Idaho,
takes the position that the Nor
mon question, which has been de-
clared by the Democrats OF Idaho
to be the paramount issue, is OF
minor Importance. Furthermore,
he says, there is little interest IN
the subject, that the people have
become convinced polygamy IS
thing of the pat and that the re-
ports of church interference Ill po-
Ii les have been gross exaggera-
tions.
The statement is as follows:
"rhe Mormon question will, OF
course, be up for discussion to some
extent in the campaign, but IN
subordinate way. Icannot speak
as to the north part of the state, MS
| have not been in the northern
counties, but there is practically
no interest being manifested in the
subject in the counties OF Ada,
CANYON and Boise and that part OF
the state contiguous to the district
in wqicb Mormons predomlnate'
I do not believe it changed so votes
IN Ada county two years ago, and
there is less interest in the subject
than ever before. The people are
not disturbed over the feature OF
polygamy, as they believe it is a
L
thing. of the past, and church inter
ference in politics has been much
talked of but so little seen that 1T
does not excite any consideration
in the mind of the voter. The
Mormon question will not in any
sense change the political situation
in Idaho this year any more than
it did two and four years ago, and
that is to say it will not make any
difference in the result.
'sThe paramount issue in this
campaign, as l view it and as /
shall undertake to present 1t, Will
be whether or not President Roose-
welt is to be permitted to finish his
work with his full party support
behind him. No state has been
more greatly favored by the poll
cies OF Roosevelt and none has
more to expect in the future from
those policies than Idaho, and that
is the issue. VIII Idaho stand by
her benefactor? Think OF ltl BY
the reclamation scheme Idaho has
added to her inhabitable domain a
territory rs large as Delaware and
New Jersey combined, and the peo-
pie OF Idaho will not forget who
made it possible.
II expect the campaign to be
conducted purely upon principle

sonal friends for many years, and
so far as am concerned the cam
paign will be entirely free OF per-
sonal bitterness or matters OF that

Rupert is ItH

Capitalists and investors from
all sections OF the country have re-
cognized this town as the metropo-
lis of the Minidoka project. They
came here and stamped their ap-
proval by paying down the hard
cash.
At the conclusion OF the first
days lot sales $3S, 500 worth Of
lots had been sold. At the end of
the second day 1o1 lots had been
sold for $44, 46O, an average OF
$40 per Lot. At that time but Is
business lots remained unsold. The
land office officials were highly
pleased with the result of the sales,
and predicted great future for
this young town.
The lot sales, which were con-
Quoted in the Opera House, We're
we'll attended, many people being
present from all parts of the state.
The room was crowded and great
interest was taken in the proceed
ings.
Col. OBrien officiated as auc-
tioneer and Register Sharp, Receiv-
er Hodgman and Chief Clerk

were the other officials present.
All of these officials were extreme
ly obliging, doing all in their pow
er to accommodate the people.
While the business lots were in
hot demand, bringing more than
the appraised value, whenever Of
fered at auction, there was no de-
mand whatever for residence lots
the valuations OF these lots being
regarded as unreasonably high.
The only lot on the square offered
at auction was the lot adjoining
the Lamar grocery store, which
was bid in by Chas. C. Galley, a
travelling man who resides in Salt
Lake, for 1886. Competition was
brisk overs the business lots on the
avenue, which sold at good figures,
Col. O'Crien finished calling the
unoccupied lots Tuesday afternoon
and Wednesday tue lots with I'M
provements which had not been
purchased at private, sale were Of
fered, but there were no bidders.
Under the peculiar rulings OF the
land office, no one could bid on
these lots. not even the owner OF
the improvements. John Weaver,
who desired to purchase the lot on
which his residence stood, could
not do so without paying the gov
ernmens the value Of his own
building. He found way out OF
the difficulty by starting IN to
move his house. The lot was then
put up for sale and he bid it in at
appraised value Of the Lot.
A telegram was received by Col.
Sharp, from the general land OF
fee, stating thai lots from which
improvements had been removed
could be sold for the appraised val
ue Of the lot, without improve
nsents. Col. O>Brien also received
telegram, stating that there
positively would be no re- appraise-
ment OF lots at Rupert or Hey

CLEVER DOCTOR
Cured 20 Years. Trouble without
Any Medicine.

Cured q 20 Years. Trouble Without
Any Medicine.
A wise Indiana physician cured
twenty years stomach disease without
any medicine, as his patient tells:
II had stomach trouble for twenty
years, tried allopathic medicines. patent
medicines and all the simple remedies
suggested by my friends. but grew
worse all the time
Finally a doctor, who Is the most
prominent physician in this part Of the
State, told me medicine would do me
no good, only irritating my stomach
and making it worse--that must look
to diet and quit drinking coffee.
Il cried out in alarm, Quit drinking
coffeer why, What will drink?
TRY Postum" said the doctor; L
drink it and you will like 1t when it Is
made according to directions, with
cream, for it is delicious and has none
OF the bad effects coffee has"
well, that was two years ago and
I am still drinking Postum My stom-
ach Is right again, and l know Doctor
hit the nail on the head when he de-
cided coffee was the cause of all my
trouble. l only wish l had quit 1t
years ago and drank Postum in its
place." Name given by Postum Co.,

Never too late to mend. Ten days
trial of Postum in place of coffee works
wonders. There's a reason.

ages of GO and 90.
Mrs. Semple in her youth was her
fathers constant companion. She was
good musician and was the life and
spirit CT his household. She was gay
and loving and beautiful. She played
for him in his leisure moments. and
hig him to sleep when he was tired.

she now repeats TO herself every day,

father listened to them with delight.

William Henry Harrison made Tyler

of the White House. During the first
few months of Tyler's administration
Mrs. Robert Tyler, wife of son of the
President, acted as hostess, while the
Presidents daughter, Letitia, remained
at their Virginia home with her
mother. Some months later Mrs. Tyler
made the trip TO Washington, accom-
panied by her daughter, but succumbed
TO her malady very shortly afterward
and was buried from the White House.
After the death of her mother Mrs.
Semple assumed the duties of mistress
Of the White House, which she dis
charged with grace and tact until her
fathers second marriage, only few
months before his term Of Office ex-
pired. His second bride was Miss
Julia Gardner, of New York.
Mr.. Semple was a wealthy man when
he married Letitia Tyler. He had a
beautiful estate in Virginia and suf.
ficient means to conduct 1t properly.
When the Civil War broke out he was
In the navy. He at once resigned and
went into the Confederate navy. At
the close Of the war he found himself
with land, money and health all gone.
Mrs. Semple, having no children. went
young ladies' school, leaving Mr.. Sem
pie at the Virginia home, which was
all that was left them.
Mrs. Semple was successful in her
school venture, and conducted 1t for
AMY years. Mr.. Semple died in his
twentieth year. Some years afterward
Mrs. Semple realized she was too feeble
to prperly conduct her large institution.
She disposed of it and went to Wash
Ington, according to promise made TO
her old friend, Mr.. Corcoran, long
since dead and gone, that, should she
ever be further reduced In circum-
stances. she would become resident
of the beautiful home in Washington
dedicated to the memory of his daugh-
ter.
Her last visit to the White House
was during the administration Of
President Pierce, whose family were
intimate friends. Since that time, al
though invitations have come to her
for every function given there. and
still are coming, she paid no attention
to them.

women who do their weaving, the men
devoting their time and energies to-

thing they make is for their own use.
The women of the tribe are most
conservative and adhere to the native
dress woven in one piece, folded, laced
together with colored yarns and belt

hue. 1t is black, a diagonal weave,
with diamond pattern. This is caught
over the right shoulder, leaving the
left bare, and they generally wear a
mantle of smaller blanket, or of cali
co, caught over the left shoulder and
flowing free behind. With this ar
rangement of costume and their own

be a long trip to find anything more
picturesque than a group of women

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
1ous Cure by Cuticura

when my little boy was six months
old. he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor, but
he could not help him, and in our de-
spair we went to third one. Matters
became so bad that he had regular
holes in his cheeks, large enough to put
a finger into The food had to be CIV
en- with a spoon, for his mouth was
covered with crusts as thick as a I'm
ger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms. chest and back, in short the
whole body. was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face, and make
an-Open sore. l think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
1--WE finally thought nothing could
help, and 1 had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope. hoping that the sea air might
cure him. otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed. matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolyent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided Improvement. Just IS quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white as
never before. f. Hohrath, President

DAUGHTER OF A PRESIDENT.
At One Time She Was Mistress of
the White HOuke.

A happy Virginia bride at 10, mis-
tress of the White House at u, and
totally blind and an inmate of the
Louise Home in Washington at Sc
such is the life story in keleton of
Mrs. Letitia Tyler Semple, daughter of
former President Tyler.
Mrs. Semple was beautiful girl and
a belle in Virginia in her youth. At
her great age she still bears the traces
of this early beauty very distinctly.
She is tall and erect, and carries her
head with the unmistakable poise CT
aristocratic birth and antecedents. Her
hair is snowy, soft, and silky, and worn
with loose curls over her ears. Her
manner is that of the cultured gentle
woman, and there is an atmosphere of
great dignity always about her. She
has many friends from the years of her
past social triumphs, and they are all
attentive to her. Her room in the
Louise Home is usually fragrant with
fresh flowers. But with ali these at
tentions it is a lonely life.

Coffonseed Oil Used Instead of the
Ordinary ingredients.


Ordinary ingredients.
"When Prof. Stillman of Stevens in
stitute gave a dinner to two friends.
at which most of the viands were made
artifcially by chemical means" writes
Lawrence Perry in the Technical World
magazine, he had small idea of the
furore his efforts would produce. But
he has received hundreds of letters
asking how different dishes were pro
duced-so many that he has not mad
time TO answer many of them.
The chemical processes which he
employed were some of them simple
and some quite complicated. To make
vanilla Ice cream by artificial means,
for instance, the alchemist took some
triple refined cottonseed oil and placed
1t in a centrifugal machine which re-
volved at velocity of 1900 revolutions
a minute. A beautiful emulsion was
thereby produced, which was then froz
en-, chemically, of course. The flavor
was obtained by the addition Of vanil
lin. glucin and nitrobenzol. They say
that ice cream composed as above is
sold in many Southern States where
cottonseed oil is more plentiful and
consequently cheaper than milk OF
cream. 1t is far from harmful, tastes
good and does not melt as quickly as
the genuine ice"
