Robber Worked Fast.-One of the
quickest and neatest robberies that

silver and several checks were taken
from drawer back of the serving
counter while the attendant was Civ
ing an order to the cook in the
kitchen. 1t is not thought the robbar
took the chance of going behind the
counter, but that he came prepared
for the job, and when his opportunity
arrived, he reached over the counter,
applied the Jimmy" pocketed the
contents of the drawer and was on his
way before the attendant returned

Laxative for
Women Free

There is great difference in the
purposes to which laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc,
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
ful for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only
a mild laxative-in fact, none other is
needed by anyone, weak or strong though
move the bowels, and If a gentle laxative
will do 1t, what is the use of a violent
one?
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin has earned
a well-deserved vogue among women and
children and old folks-people who must
necessarily be careful of what they take.
IL is liquid laxative tonic and adj
mittedly the greatest stomach, liver and
bowel remedy before the American people.
The price is only so cents or 81 bottle,
as 1t comes in both sizes. and all drug
gists sell it. Its pleasant taste and gentle
action make 1t an ideal remedy for women
in constipation, torpid liver, sour stom-
ach, sick headache, heartburn and such
like digestive complaints. Its use for a
short time will remove the trouble en-
tirely so that future medication will be
unnecessary. It's tonic properties build up
the stomach and intestinal muscles SO
that they act naturally again. That this
is SO is the experience of many heads of
families, like Mrs. Brannan, of Alvarado.
Va, Mrs. X. l.. Stout, of Louisville, KY.
and numerous others; in fact, way out in
Williams. Cal, as Mrs. J: e. Blackmore.
of that place, writes, the whole town
seems to be using it.

you. Then, If results are satisfactory
you can buy 1t Of your druggist.

WILL THE CHAMBER MEET?

AHC NhahOCL vi commerce sent
out cards 10 the members today
saying that regular meeting will
be held at the rooms of the organi-
cation in the Thornton building this
evening at s o'clock. This Is prob
ably just josh. and il is TO be serl-
ously doubted IL the chamber really
means it. II we were going to lay
a wager that there will be quorum.
we would have to be given enormous
odds. OF course we are willing to
take chance on almost anything
If the odds are correct, but a bet
like this on the face of it would be
like throwing good money away.
Several members of the chamber
have chided the Leader for semi
occasionally ripping the body up,
and referring 10 1t as more or less
cultus. They think we shouldn't do
this. But the fact of the matter is
that we are using one of the best
and most thoroughly reliable bran Is
OF truth to be found on the market,
and we couldn't do anything else. We
are IN the newspaper business t.

traying a most sacred trust. if we

ton il at all at the times when II

TO suppressing the news, and If we
were TO play up glowing accounts OF

bers sat around chewing the rag

protest against the passage of the
act entitled, An act to permanently
locate the capital of Idaho territory
Some of our objections are that we
claim that the passage of the above
entitled act by this assembly to be
an arbitrary assumption of power,
wherein the voice of the people has
not been heard, nor their wishes con-
suited, and the exercise of such
power by the legislative assembly
is without warrant or petition from
the people We further protest
so large an appropriation of moneys
to defray the expenses of moving
said capial in the present disabled
condition of the territory; and we
further protest that the removal of
said capital in the unsettled condi-
ton of our territory to a remote
town far away from the main arteries
of commerce and the great and grow
ing agricultural interests of this
/ territory, indiscreet and ill-timed;
and we further protest for the rea-
son that the present location IS
accessible from all parts of the ter
ritory and all seasons; and further,
its present location being at the
head of navigation within our ter
ritory is situated upon the acknow-
lodged main highway.

Apple Growing in Idaho.

The entrance to the city hall at
Cald we'll is simply burdened up with
all kinds of fruit-growing machinery.
This was given as rewards to resi-
dents of the county for the prize
winning fruit exhibited at the Ma
tional Horticultural congress at Coun-
ell Bluffs, Iowa. The store windows
are filled with photographs of the
same exhibits and the men, women
and children on the streets talk of
little else.
These prizes were a victory for
southern Idaho, OF which she may
be well proud. While many kinds
of apples are at home in those val
leys, the Jonathans take the lead
and may prove themselves the
biggest money-getters for that par;
of Idaho.-Spokesman Review.
