ferers Greatly Simplifes
the Treatment.

If you are suffering from any
burning, itching skin disease, the
only way to cure it is to get right
after the real trouble-to cure the
skin itself.
Thousands of patients have suffer-
ed for months in vain attempts to
doctor their blood when the whole
trouble was bacilli feeding upon the
skin and causing the unsightly
blotches and sores.
Skin specialists now prescribe
simple liquid wash easy to apply,
which gives instant relief. This
remedy is composed of oil of winter
green to which are added healing
vegetable remedies, Oil of winter
J green alone will not cure, but a CO.
terie of experts in Chicago headed
by a noted specialist, experimental
with other medicinal properties UNI
til they found the proper prepare
ton. The result of their efforts is
called d. d. d. Prescription, sure
specifis for the cure of skin diseases.

BRYAN AND TRUST
CONTRIBUTIONS

Many of the Republicans are max
in d greaat fuss over the alleged dis
covery that some of the trusts con-
tributed to the Democratic campaign
fund and hat a part of this money
was used by Bryan in Nebraska. The
charge is made by the Populist for
mer candidate, Tibbles, who admits
that part of this money was used
in the purchase of the support of Tib-
bles' newspaper for the Democratic
candidate. That admission On the
part of Tibbles places Tibbles in the
right class without any further Gem
menc
AS to Bryan's part in the mater,
even admitting the charge true which
is not believed, one fails to see where
the Republicans make any point. The
direct question at issue is whether the
parties will make public the source
and the use of the campaign funds
during this campaign and here is no
need to bring up what has been done
in the past. If the Republicans wish
to cite the charges against Bryan as
an excuse for taking trust funds and
refusing to adopt publicity. why dc
they not use the COrtelyou methods
as their precedent, that versatile
chairman having secured his sinews
from the trusts and the insurance

How to account for the fact

How to account for the fact
that the rainfall in southern
Idaho is increasing each year is
a difficult matter. Here is a
theory advanced by A. j. Poser,
a mining engineer of Butte, who
is widely Travelled and who bases
his conclusion on san-sounding
facts:
"About six years ago, excess
sive seismic disturbances in the
Western Pacific ocean and along
the Chinese and Japanese coasts
entirely diverted the so-called
japanese current, which in it's
northward flow formerly curved
eastward south OF the Aleutian
islands, striking the American
coast north of Vancouver Island
and thence flowing south; in it's
present flow, however, it follows
the coast OF Kamchatka and
Siberia north to opposite Nome,
where it swings over to the
Alaskan coast and then south
around the Alaska peninsula.
This is a well established fact,
and new marine charts are being
prepared showing this new
course.
"The result of the warm cur
rent being carried along these
formerly frigid and inhospitable
coasts has been plainly observed
the last two or three years. Just
as Oregon, Washington and
Vancouver Island owe their mild
winters and long-continued rain
fall to this warm current, so the
whole western coast OF Alaska
and British Columbia are grad
ually experiencing the influence
of this change, the great humid
ity caused by the constant flow
of this warm current gradually
working inland and affecting the
whole northern country west OF
the continental divide. Montana
got the first plain effect OF this
last year, with an unprecedented
mild winter, and is continually
making good by the present
record-breaking floods, with an
almost moral certainty of more
of the same throughout the
world" -Pocatello Tribune.

Played at Spokane Bridge.

Sunday morning the Farley Phar-
macy base ball team drove over to
Spokane Bridge, WASH, to play a
return game of ball with the Cakes
Spokane Bridge team and, while the
local boys were defeated, the excep-
tional hospitality Of the hosts made
the boys forget for the time their
defeat.
Upon the arrival of the Farley
team at their destination they were
met by Mr.. j. B. Cakes who escorted
them to very pretty spot in the
woods near the station where a very
elaborate picnic dinner was served to
the members of both teams as well
as all Others who were fortunate to
be around at the time.
The game was called at $3.50 and
was witnessed by about 200 people.
The Spokane Bridge fans were very
much in evidence and their clever
roofing was of material assistance to
their boys. 1t was rough a nd. tum.
BILE battle with plenty Of hard hitting
on both sides which set the fans wild
with enthusiasm. The score at the
finish stood % to 10 in favor of the
Spokane Bridge team.
The deciding contest will likely be
played on the local diamond 10 about
three weeks, the delay being &C.
casoned by several scheduled games
which the Farley Pharmacy team are
Obliged to play before they can again
cross bats with Mr.. Cakes Jolly bunch.

Republican state nominating
convention, Boise, Sept. /.

In 1905, when the legislature
was in session, the same people
at Ceur d'Alene who are now
working so hard to get the
county seat from Rathdrum,
were working as hard then TO
get the bill passed creating the
county OF Clark and making
Ceur d'Alene the county seat by
circumventing the constitution.
When that bill was passed, and
signed by the governor, they
thought they had the county
seat beyond the shadow OF a
doubt. 1t was theirs, SO they
thought, and they did not have
to offer free sites for the court
house or guarantee the safety OF
the county records. Real estate
in CGur d'Alene took on an i'm
mence boom; Office and house
rents were doubled and trebled,
and the county officials who
went over to select q site for the
court house were shown various
tracts which C9ur d'Alene had
to offer for the purpose at prices
which were several times in ex
cess of their normal value. All
of which was but natural. They
had 1T and they were deter
mined to get as much out OF it
as they could. They did not
worry then about the safety OF
the records. On the other hand
they had made provision to take
the records out of the vault at
Rathdrum, where they were per-
fectly safe, and store them in an
old dancing pavilion back OF the
Cgur d'AleDe Inn, a mere shell
and a veritable firetrap. They
not only proposed to move the
records at once but insisted
upon it in the face of strong OPP
position on the part Of the coun-
ty officials at Rathdrum. But
the latter were firm and the
records were not moved, and. in
the meantime, the supreme court
pronounced the county division
bill unconstitutional. In the
face OF these facts it is lnconsist-
ent fer Cpur d'Alene and her
champions to allege untruths
about vault room and SAFE
keeping OF the county records at
Rathdrum and advance these
untruths as arguments for coun-
ty seat removal. They but
prove the weakness OF CGur d.
Alene's position.

HOME FROM ENCAMPMENT
Ist Battalion Enjoyed 10 Days at
Fort George Wright.

The 1st Battalion, N. G. L.,

Thursday morning, and the three
companies departed for their res
pective homes. Wednesday was

ed. E company of Rathdrum un-
der Captain G. w. Spoerry came
next, followed by c company Of
Occur d'Alene, under command of
Captain Clement Wilkins. Lieu
tenant-Col. Hoover made the in
speetion, assisted by Major Edel,
blute and the company command
ers. Lieutenant Allen of Sand
point, battalion quartermaster,
was also present. The inspection
over. the battalion was formed
again and photograph taken in
Guiding the field and staff officers
All the competitors in the marks
mans contest for the gold medal
repaired to the range with the pit
details and other assistants. After
the contest, Major Edelblute, and
Lieut.. Harris of H. and Private
Joe Shadduck of c., who had made
sharpshooters' scores up to GOO
yards tried the skirmish run to
complete the course. Harris failed
at the first attempt. Shadduck
won with 81 and Major Edelblute
with IS points.
The encampment lasted ten days
and considering the delay in re-
ceiving the new rifles and ammu-
milton, which did not arrive in
camp until last Sunday, the en-
campment has been very success
full. All the men have had their
share of shooting and all but two
or three from each company, in
Guiding the officers qualified as
marksmen, making the necessary
90 or more points out of the
possible $50 at 200, 800 and 500.
Several others qualified as sharp
shooters up to GOO yards, making
the necessary 40 out of the posi-
BILE $50, but not including the
time fire and skirmish run.

Old soldiers drawing pensions un-
der the service pension act will not
have their pensions increased as they
advance In years, except upon their
own application. The service pension
law grants Of SIP to veterans between
81 and 10 years Of age; SIS to those
between 10 and 10, and $40 to those
over IS. It was generally presumed
that the increases would be granted
automatically by the pension bureau,
but the contrary proves to be the
case.
