HEALTHY MOTHERS

Women who bear children and re.
 main healthy are those who prepare their systems in advance of baby's coming. Unless the mother aids nature in its prenatal work the crisis finds her system unequal to the de- mands made upon it, and she is often left with weakened health or chronic ailments. No remedy is so truly help to nature as Mothers Friend, and no expectant mother should fail to use it. It relieves the pain and discomfort caused by the strain on the fragments, makes pliant and elas- tic those flores and muscles which nature is expanding, prevents numb ness of limbs, and soothes the inflarn- nation of breast glands. The system being thus prepared by Mothers Friend dispels the fear that the crisis may not be safely met. Mothers Friend assures a speedy and complete recovery for the mother, and she is left a healthy woman to enjoy the rearing of her

Mayor Submits Name Of R. Groo for That Of
flee Council Confirms Nomination and Then
Re-considerS It's Action.

The council met in regular ses.
sion Wednesday night. In the alb
sence of Mayor Hoif, President
President Reese presided. All
couucilmen were present.
The street committee, to which
was referred the claim of W. H.
Shelby, who asked the city to reim-
bnrse him for injuries received by
stepping on a nail in a sidewalk, re.
ported that 1t was not in favor of
allowing the claim. The report
was adopted.
Councilman Lewis reported that
he had consulted with Manager
Brough of the b. l.. Power %. and
the latter suggested that the city
displace the present arc lights with
so or 100 candle power Tungsten
lights to be suspended from arms
extending from poles on the sides
of the streets; that for the amount
of money the city is now paying for
II are lights, the company could
furnish 1873 6o-candle power lamps,
distributed about the city as the
council might determine. Mr..
Brongh also stated that the com.
pany would light up two blocks in
this manner for trial. After some
discussion it was ordered that the
committee instruct Manager Brough
to 90 ahead and install two blocks
-one with so candle power and one
with 100 candle power lights, and
if found to give better satisfaction
than the arc lights the council
would agree to make contract with
the company for term of at least
two years.
City Clerk Glenn reported $84. so

IDAHO WILL EXHIBIT
AT LAND SHOW

Idaho will show from $50, 600 to
200, 900 people big exhibit of her
products at the land show in St.
Paul December u to %. Govern
or Hawiey has received word from
the officers of the Northwestern De-
velopment League that the business
interests of St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth have agreed to deal where
by this state will be furnished ex-
hibit space without cost at the land
show.
At a cost of $40, 900 the business
interests of the three Minnesota
cities have bought from the league
8, 500 square feet of preferred space
at the show. Each of the seven
states will have space of fifty feet
long and ten feet wide for their of
fetal exhibit.
The governor has been asked to
confer with officers of the league in
this state and secure the interest of
those necessary to put in an exhibit
which will be credit to the state.
Under this plan no one community
or city will have an advantage over
others in the state. Any city,
county or land company desiring to
make an independent exhibit will be
able to secure limited amount of
space near the state exhibit on rea-
sonable terms, but it is the desire of
the league officers for this state that
the best possible exhibit be made in
the name of the state as il is from
such an exhibit that results are to
be obtained.
The seven states which are to be
thus represented are Washington,

]. C. SYFERT DIES
FROM HEMORRHACE

J. c. Syfert, a Short Line
freight conduc tor, died in the bag
gage room at the 0. S. l.. depot at
Pocatello last Saturday morning at
Il:40, from a hemorrhage of the
lungs. Mr.. Syfert had been run
ming on the First district for the
past two years and half, but ow-
ing to his failing health, two weeks
ago he asked TO be transferred to
Glenn's Ferry, believing that the
lower altitude might prove beneficial
to him. During his short stay there
his condition became worse, and he
decided to go to the hospital at Salt
Lake, to which point he was en-
route when he was stricken by
death at Pocatello.
Mr.. Syfert was Sd years of age.
He was a member of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and was held
in the highest esteem by his asso-
eiates on the road.
His body was taken in charge by
members of the order at Pocatello.
After being prepared for burial it
was shipped here Sunday, and was
taken to the Douglas Furniture
Co.'S undertaking parlors, where it
was cared for, awaiting news from
relatives in Ohio and Michigan. A
message being received Tuesday
stating that it would be impossible
for any of them to come, funeral
services were held from the Second
ward meeting house ednesday af-
ternoon.
Besides his father and brother In
Ohio, and sister in Michigan. Mr..
Syfert is survived by young wild
ow, who, only seven months ago,
became his bride. Her sorrow al
this time is doubly heavy, as two
months ago she was called upon to
mourn the death of her mother,
Mrs. Jos. Wilcox.

Mr. Craven agreed TO pay the cost,
and The cheak for $267.5 so was for
the amount less the expense incur
red in bringing the matter to set
tlement. The council accepted the
check as payment in full.
The report of Engineer Bncher
on surveys made for cement side
walks ordered by the council was
referred te the street committee.
Specifications for the walks were
also submitted by Mr.. Bucher, but
their adoption was deferred until
the meeting of the council to be
held next Monday night.
The bond of IL. II. Dalrymple as
chief Of police and road overseer in
the sum of $500, was approved.
The mayor submitted in writing
the name of Richard Groo for city
treasurer to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of M. s. Roberts.
The nomination was confirmed, but
before the council adjourned, mo-
tion carried to reconsider the con-
tirmation, and the city is conse-
quently without treasurer. Wheth-
er or not the mayor will re.submit
the name of Mr.. Groo to the couu-
Gil at its meeting next Monday
night, the Examiner is unable to
say.
Councilman Lewis called atten-
tion to the fact that the council was
now no nearer to settlement of
the $4,000 warrant Indebtedness
incurred by the last administration
than it was when the question was
taken up, and he thought it was
time some definite action was being
taken. After considerable discus
sion, it was decided to take this
matter up at next Monday nights
meeting and endeavor to reach
decision az to the manner in which
these warrants should be paid,
Building permits were issued to
Ira Chafiin and Ed Grosjean.
A motion to intruct the sexton to
remove all wooden fences from
around all graves in the cemetery
was lost by vote of three to three.

SOME FIGURES ON
BEAR LAKES VALUATION
Nearly 0ne-thnd Of the County's Assessed Val
uation is in Montpelier Precinct II Precincts
Have Valuations Above 100000.

The Examiner is indebted to
County Auditor Broomhead for the
figures below, showing the total
assessed valuation of each precinct
lin the county. From these figures
II will he seen that Montpelier lacks
but $l7, 1873 of having one-third of
the assessed valuation of the entire
county. Its valuation is a little
more than two and one-fifths times
larger than that of Paris. From
other figures at hand taken from the
assessment roll, we find that the
real estate in Montpelier is this
year valued at 1924, ,7s5 and that of
Paris at $5s,535. The improve
ments on real estate in Montpelier
are valued at $366,s7O and in Paris
at $ll2, 1850. 1t will thus De seen
that while the value of real e. tate
in Montpelier is little more than
four and one-half times larger than
that Of Paris, the value of improve
ments in Montpelier is not quite
three and one.third times more
than the value placed on the i'm
provements in Paris. In other
words, the proportionate value of
improvements to the real estate is
greater in Paris than it is in Mont
pelier.
We also find that in Paris pre-
cinct, outside of the corporate limits
of the town, there are 21,727.64
acres of land, valued at &3o3, 742,
with improvements thereon valued at
$42,65O. In Montpelier precinct,
outside of the corporate limits of
the town, there are "a, ,5l5.37 acres,
valued at 1924, ,s54, with improve
ments thereon to the value of $780,
440. This indicates that the farms
in Paris precinct have better i'm
provements on them than do the
farms in Montpelier precinct.
From the figures below it will be
seen that l2 of the 10 precincts
have valuations ranging above
100000:

POOR SCHEDULE
ON PARIS BRANCH

( Regular train service was estab-
lished on the Paris branch last
Monday, the ping pong going on
to the county seat that afternoon,
after arriving from McCammon.
The ping pong Is operated as a
second class, or mixed train on the
branch. That is, it handles both
freight and passenger traffic. The
present schedule is as follows:
Leave Montpelier at 4:25 p. M,
Ovid 4:47 and arrive at Paris at
5:O5. The train lays at Paris over
night and leaves there at sos a. M. ;,
Ovid at 1928 and arrives at Mont
peller at s:45 and leaves here for
at the usual time, $780,
The passenger fare is as follows:
From Montpelier to Paris, 40 cents;
from Montpelier to Ovid, 25 cents
from Ovid to Paris, 20 cents.
l.. u. Eberly, relief agent on the
Short Line, has been temporarily
installed as agent at Paris, while
Jack Heggie is at present holding
down the position of "night yard
master and round house foreman.
1t was supposed that double
daily train service would be estab-
lished on the branch. In fact, on
the occasion of the visit of the
Short Line officials to Montpelier
last April, General Superintendent
Manson stated that it was the in
tentention of the company TO give
the people of Montpelier and Paris
a double daily train service. Why
the change was made is of course
known only to the railroad officials.
| For the people of the west side
of the valley, who wish to come &c
Montpelier or go on out on the ping
pong, the present schedule is al
right. But it affords absolutely nc
accommodation to the people ot
Montpelier and vicinity, who may
have business at the court house, anC
as long as the present schedule re
mains in force, people from thi
vicinity will continue to make trip
to Paris IN the same old way-b,
teams and autos.
While we will probably never b
able to secure it, triple daily ser
vice between Montpelier and Pari
would be mighty nice. II woul
have tendency TO create travel be
tween the two towns, and we be
lieve that such service would d
more than anything else toward
: : creating friendlier feeling betwee
the two sides of the valley an
. bring the two towns in closer re
6 ation with each other.

at certainly would. The levIes
in the various counties will not be
decreased in proportion as the as-
sessments have been raised, and
such a marked increase in railroad
assessment as that suggested by you
would materially add to the amount
of taxes paid by the railroads. ]
should say the increase would be 2h

While st. Charles and Dingle
precincts are close together, as fer
as total valuations are concerned,
the latter's farm lands are not as
valuable as the lands in the former.
Dingle has lO,o12.l5 acres of

being being $25, $40. No cattle of
the common class were reported
from Eight Mile precinct, but milk

from there. st. Charles heads the
list in valuation on milk cows,
while Pegram brings up the rear.

Montpelier stands first, with Paris
close Second, Bloomington third
and St. Charles fourth. Montpelier
is also first in valuation on stock
horses, with Paris second and &C.

RE-BALLASTINC
The MAIN LINE

Last week the Short Line began
the work of re-ballasting the track
from Dingle east to Sage. 1t will
require something over 1000 car
loads OF gravel, which is secured
from the company's big gravel pits
in Marsh valley.
1t is generally believed IN local
railroad circles that grading for the
double track, eight miles east and
eight miles west of Montpelier, will
be started yet this year. This be-
lief is based upon the fact that with
in the past week division ofiicia
and representatives of the engiD-
eering department made a careful
inspection of the road from Pesca-
dero to Dingle, the points betwee
which the double track is to be LAID.
1t was reported from Salt Lake
early last spring that Montpelier
was one OF the terminal points on
the Short Line, out of which il had
been decided to double track each
way for given distance and that
the appropriation had been made
for this work. That the work has
not been started before now is
doubtless due to the fact that
double tracking is IN progress at
several other points on the road,
where traffic is heavy at all times,
and when those sections are COM
pleted, the work will no doubt be
started here.

LITTLE GIRL WAS
FIRST ASSAULTED
THEN MURDERED
BODY WAS THROWN IN LAKE
TO HIDE EVIDENCE OF
THE CRIME.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 11.-That
little Annie Lemberger, the 7-year-
old child whose body was. found
in Lake Monona Saturday after
noon, was murdered, is the opinion
of DR.. II. E. Purcell and DR.. Jo-
seph Dean, who made an examina-
tion Of the body.
The physicians opinion is based
upon the fact that there was an
absence of water in the lungs. A
further examination also revealed
that the child had been attacked.
In a nude and discolored state
the body was discovered by George
Younger, laborer. Practically the
only clue which the police have
to work upon SO far is a story
that two Italians, who appeared
greatly excited, purchased tickets foI
Chicago shortly after the crime is
| supposed to have been committed
