BOISE-BUTTE ROAD AGAIN.
Old Project TO Unite Idaho and Mon
tana Is Revived.

The Boise Capital News says of the
revival of the old project to build a
railroad from Boise to Butte:
The Boise-Butte railroad is again
under agitation and indications point
to the fact that some definite action is
being crystalized towards a re-survey,
or purchase of the old survey plans,
by an Independent company made up
of ex-railroad men and capitalists Of
the east, who have investigated the
proposed road and believe that the
line would, If constructed, be a paying
proposition.
1t Is understood that advances
have been made by the eastern cap
italists to the owners of the old sur
vey with the view of purchasing the
plans and after making few neces-
sary charges agitate the construction
of the road or else go ahead with

NEW LoVE-MAKING SYSTEM.
Prince De Sagan Says "the Force OF

Young men who find difficulty in
winning the parental consent to mar

find valuable suggestion in the new
love-making system devised by Prince
Helie de Sagan and which, he says,
was instrumental in winning the heart
and fortune Of the fair Nine. Anna

of the ridicule Of all the French and
American newspapers" says the mod
est prince, "by a method which has
always given me success in my under

Celebrating his system, Prince Helie
says:
although accustomed to a Bohe-
mian and care-free life, I possess great
determination of character when Il
really desire to accomplish any pur-
pose. l do not go forth to do battle
in the open, however, but remain
crouching in my corner until my ex-
cited antagonists dash themselves to
pieces.

prince, "that wins success in love as

CABINET FOR JOHNSON.
Bryan Would Placatc Friends of the
Minnesota Governor

An interesting echo from Lincoln
has reached here to the effect that
Mr.. Bryan has received favorably the
suggestion that the recent pronounced
antagonism of the Bryan men to Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota shall be
offset by the intimation that in the
event Of Mr.. Bryan's election he will
invite Johnson to take a place In his
cabinet, says a dispatch from Denver.
One of the many visitors to Mr..
Bryan who is now here has pointed
out to him that the marked antagon-
ism to Johnson might ALLEVIATE the in
fluential Scandinavian element with
which the Minnesota governor is iden-
titled by birth and association.
Mr.. Bryan did not relish the idea
of "playing politics." but at the same
time, 1t is said, he received the sug-
gestion with considerable favor and
IL the matter could be freed from
Interested motives and political ex-
pediency he would be inclined to let
1t be understood that Governor John
son would be favorably considered II
the occasion arises to form a Bryan
cabinet.

"REAL" INDIAN SCARE.
Colonel Frank j. Parker Tells of Incl
dent of Early Day.

COlOnel FRANK J. Parker Tells OF Incl
dent of Early Day.
A correspondent at Lyle writes of
an amusing Indian "scare" told by
| Colonel Frank j. Parker, the well
known journalist, formerly of Walla
Walla:
Frank j. Parker, pioneer miner,
General Howard's old scout in the In
dian war Of 1878, newspaper man.
later United States marshal for Wash
ington under Cleveland now retired,
residing in Portland, has just conclud-
ed a trip up the Columbia, noting
changes that have been made since
he and other miners floated from The
Dalles to the Cascades in an Indian
canoe, in 1864. Colonel Parker ex-
pressed regret that some of the gro
tesque scenery of the Cascades had to
be so ruthlessly oblterated by the re-
cent railroad construction.
Before taking the Portland train,
the old miner-scout related little in
cident that will clear up to some of
the old-timers. what was reported
falsely at the time to be an Indian
outbreak. The story runs that Gen
eral Howard's scout, with a Cayuse
Indian guide, was en- route to inter-
cept General Howard and army in
Harney valley. They had made camp
OF the headwaters Of Owyhee river,
near Silver City.
During an intermission in the long
ride while the horses were grazing
and resting. Colonel Parker and the
Indian were shooting wind hens.
Peaceable Indians passing heard the
gun reports and tarried long enough
to see lodging through the brush the
Indian guide, and presuming at once
band Of their mortal foes the Ban
nocks, were upon them, they FASTENED
with reports to Silver City. Soon there
appeared in the newspapers the story
OF another outbreak of Indians near
Silver City, Idaho"
Colonel Parkers says he has kept
the real story of the Indian raid secret
these 80 years in order not to detract
from the fame of the then rising young
journalists.

One of the most distressing and
saddest fatalities ever recorded in the
annals of Pocatellos Independence
days occurred Saturday, when Charles
c. Mum, popularity known as Char
ley" was hurled from a horse to his
death. The pitiful feature of the ac-
cident is in the fact that Mum was
hurrying to his home, just at night
fall of the Fourth, after having been
on the range over two weeks, and
hurrying to a handsome home that
had just been completed, and which
he and his wife were to occupy for
the first time on the night of the
Fourth.

Chautauqua auditorium at Scots

THE PUBLIC BENEFITED.
Waxahachie People Greatly Inter-
ested in the Generous Offer Of
Hood d Curtin, the Drug

The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust
a man who is naturally honest, than
one who WIS honest only because he
had to be.
Hood & Curtin have firmly es-
tablished reputation for square deal
ing and stefling honesty. When they
told the people that Rexall Rene
dies are the rurest and most depend
able remedies that it is possible for
raodern science to produce, and that
they would tel the public exactly
what each enc OF these 800 remedies
contained, and that they sold Rexall
Remedies on their own personal
guarantee that they would give en-
tire satisfaction or the medicine
would not cost the user single
cent, they were believed.
Ever since this announcement the
store of Hood & Curtin has been
Crowded by people buying Rexall
Remedies, all of which proves that
Hood & Curtin have the confidence
Iof the people and that honesty is
the best policy.
There is no "cure-all' among the
Rexall Remedies,-there are 800
different and seperate medicines;
one for each human i'll, and each I'M
questionably the best of it's kind.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are partic-
ularly recommended for the positive
cure OF stomach irritation, indiges-
ton and dyspepsia. They are rich in
Bismuth, subnitfate Pepsin and Car
uinatives. and are prepared by q

III sit in the house and dream, -

And then as the sparks fly up and

Flat on my back in the long, soft
grass,
Watching the cloud ships swiftly
To dream is almost as nice, you
know,
AS to have things happen, quoth

Master Ned,

It's broken so he can't use 1t now.
The teeth of the harrow I'll help to
And lots of time on the tools I'll
spend.
It's good for muscles and blood to

At work with hammer and mallet, !"

WHY SUFFER?
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath-
some Catarrh Germs.

Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loatli-
some Catarrh Germs.
Just as long as you have catarrh
vour nose will itch, your breath will
he foul YOU will hawk and spit, and
YOU will do other disgusting things
because you can't help yourself. The
gems of catarrh have got you in
their power; they are continually
and persistently digging into and IL
ritating the mucous membrane or
your nose and throat. They are now
making your life miserable; in time
they will sap your entire system or
Its energy It's strength, its vigor and
vitality.
Ii you do not kill the loathsome
germs of catarrh, their desperate as
saults will in time undermine your
reason, rob your brain of It's bril-
hancy and activity, and leave you
not only physical but mental
| wreck
This picture Is not overdrawn;
the writer has seen thousand of just
such cases. He has personally exper-
| fenced the demoralizing reults that
come from the ravishing attacks OF
the horrible catarrh germs, the great
| est pest of civilized nations.
| But there is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
! that is Hyomei, the Australian dry
air treatment. There may be other
remedies, but they are not guaran-
teed as Hood & Curtin, the druggists
WIFI guarantee Hyomei to cure ca
tarrh, or money back. Don't delay
this pleasant antiseptic treatment
Every day YOU allow these germs to
exist in your system brings you near
er to complete decentralization. Hood
& Curtin will sell you a complete
Hyomei outfit for only $500 Ask
them about it. 1t is also guaranteed
to cure bronchitis, asthma, coughs
colds and hay fever.

THREATS OF ARSON
IN ANTLRENT STRIKE
IF the Tenants Move Out the Fire De-
partment Will Have to Move in.

New York, Jan. Threats that
their buildings would be burned if
they evicted their tenants, flooded East
Side landlords today. The warnings
supposed to have come from rent
strikers, in general were on postal
cards worded as follows: I'VE will
move. but after your house has been
vacated, the fire department viii visit
YOU
'RedfIag."
Point was given to the threat by a
fire today at Il Madison street tene-
ment. where the demands of the oc-
cupants for lower rents had been re-
fused. Applications for disposess pa
pers have been so heavy that several
of the courts today were forced to re-
fuse to consider any more until Thurs
day.
Many of the strikers are delaying
eviction by keeping the stoves in their
apartments red hot. When the mar
shals arrive they are compelled to
wait until the stoves cool before they
can put them in the street with the
other furniture
