EX-GOVERNOR F. STEUNENBERG

The following authoritative &C
count of the late Frank Steunen
berg will be interesting to the PEG
pie of Idaho:
Viewed purely geographically
we find that Frank Steunenber,
was born August 8, 1861, at Keo
kuk, Iowa. His parents were B
Steunenberg and Cornelia Steunen
berg, nee Miss Keppel, both ma
tives of Holland, but who first me,
and mated in America. The father
a Mexican war veteran, still sur
wives at the grand, green age of 81
a cherished inmate of the home o.
his son, A. K. Steunenberg, al
Caldwell. The spirit of the mothe,
took flight In June, 1876, and he,
ashes, enrich the soil of Knoxville
Iowa. Frank was the fourth of ten
children. all of whom survive him,
five brothers and four sisters. He
early left the school room at Knox.
vile, Iowa, to serve a four years
apprenticeship as printer in The
Journal Office. Worked on the
Des Moines Register subsequently,
and earned the reputation of being
the fastest compositor on that pa.
per. Convinced of his need of
more education, he pocketed his
type Stick" entered the Iowa
Agricultural College, at Ames, and
paid his tuition by the work of his
own hands. Returning to Knox
vile. iowa, he in 1884, in pavtner-
ship with w. J Casey, leased the
Knoxville Express, then in the
sheriff's hands, and they made a
success of the venture.
In 1885 he married Miss Belle
Keppel, OF Keokuk, Iowa, lady
whose character was jeweled with
Christian graces, and who for over
twenty years was an unfailing
source of inspiration and courage
to him.
Coming to Caldwell in 1887, at
the solicitation of his brother. A.
K. Steunenberg, two years young
er. and who had helped to conduct
the Caldwell Tribune since 1886,
our subject formed a partnership
with A. K, and conducted the
Tribune with conspicuous success
until they sold out to Rees H. Da-
Wis, in 1892. Later Frank and an
other brother, Charles B. Steunen-
berg. also a practical printer, pub
llshed Caldwell Record (uow the
News), but sold this paper iu 1895
to Monte B. Gwinn.

tive challenged the statement. The
affirmative based its claim on the
message to congress December 3,
1901, wherein the president says:
The second object of a proper i'm
migration law ought to be to Sc
cure by careful and not merely
perfunctory educational test, some
intelligent capacity to appreciate
American institutions and act sanely
as American citizens. This would
not keep out all anarchists, for
many of them belong to the intelli-
gent criminal class. But it would
do what is also in point, that is,
tend to decrease the sum of ignor-
ance, SO potent in producing the
envy, suspicion, malignant passion
and hatred of order, out of which
anarchistic sentiment inevitably
springs"

and "illiteracy" INTERCHANGEABLE,

To be beaten was bad enough,
but to have the debate close with
the intimation that Caldwell was
trying to put up bluff on Weiser

still worse. The affirmative stated

WEISER WINS
FROM CALDWELL
Championship of Southern Idaho
Decided Last Friday Evening.

The debaters of the College of
Idaho and the Weiser Public School
were greeted by large and enthu-
siastic audience week ago last
evening. The question was: RE
solved that Immigration should be
further Restricted by an Illiteracy
Test. The home boys had the
affirmative, and the visitors the
negative. The Weiser team won.
This settles the championship of
Southern Idaho for this year.
Weiser defeated Payette, and Cald-
well defeated Boise in former de-
bates. The Caldwell debaters
were: Hilton Meth, Fred Myers
and John Holman. The Weiser
debaters were; James Harris, R. L.
Wheeler and George L. Luck.
Su oerintendent Williamson of Boise
presided over the meeting. The
judges were DR.. l. F. Roach and
DR.. George E. Paddock of Boise
and Rev. R. B. Wright of Hunt
ington, Oregon.
The debate were very interesting
throughout. Each side was so
ably handled as to reflect credit not
only upon the participants them
selves, but also upon their respect
i've schools. The boys exhibited a
deep and sympathetic grasp of the
question, and eloquently presented
their views. Everybody seems to
be we'll satisfied with the decision
OF the judges. The program fol-

team of horses, which are ordinarily considered safe in all harness. Sud- denly bolt in the fore part of the wagon broke off, causing the whiffie- trees to fall upon the horses legs. One of the horses commenced kicking and soon both started into lively run up the street. MT Craig was powerless to control the maddened animals and was finally thrown headlong over the dash board, striking the ground with much force, a considerable distance away. He was picked up in an uncon- scious condition and removed to his fathers home. Here Dr Durham was called and found MT Craig to be suf- fering from severe dislocation of the shoulder, besides being badly bruised and shaken up. It was at first thought that he might have sustained inter- nal injuries but no further signs hav- ing become manifest to that effect, it is believed that the injured man will soon be on the road to recovery.

and Investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa- thetic nature.
 In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter.
 In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, natures own remedies calling in physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex- perience many of them gained avon derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs.
 Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature SO beautifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex- pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi, cines for her own family and friends.
 Chief of these was a rare combina- tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pscu- liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink hams friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.
 All this 50 far was done freely, with out money and without price, as a labor of love.
 But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen- nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.
 The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to
