APPARENTLY MUCH
SICKNESS IN CITY
Steady Throns Inquiring About Root
Juice Indicates Keen Local In
terest In Strange New
Medicine.

Ever since 1t was announced few
days ago that the new Root Juice
Medicine is now obtainable in this
city, there has been steady stream of
people at the Balkcom Drug Co. anxi-
Gus to procure the strange new medi-
cine that has recently created so much
excitement in Atlanta by the remark
able results that followed it's use in
cases of stomach trouble as well as
kidneX and liver disorders and rehum-
atism.
People from all parts of the city
have called at the drug store during
the past few days and a few have even
come from nearby towns to obtain a
supply of the medicine which is said
to effect such wonderful results for
people suffering from indigestion,
belching, gas on the stomach, loss of
appetite, headaches, backaches, rheu-
,matic pains, swollen, sore and stiff
limbs and joints, urinary disorders,
nervousness and general weakness.
There has not of course been time
enough as yet to learn what results
the medicine is giving in various cases
here, but in view of the wonderful
cures that have been reported from
elsewhere it is not likely the many
local people who try 1t will be dis
appointed.
The local demonstration at the above
named drug store will continue for
several days and those who suffer
from any of the ailments for which the
new remedy is recommended will
probably not regret having given it a
trial.

and came to Silver City in 1865. He
was engaged in the blacksmith and
wagon-building business in this. section.
Mr.. Stccker was member OF the

time before his death. Lately he has
made his home at Nampa, with his
daughter, Mrs. R. L. Euler, spending
much OF his time, however, with his
daughter, Mrs. Shaw. He leaves a
widow and these two daughters.
The funeral was held from the Episco-
pal church at Nampa on Monday after

Oh Me. Oh MyI

Boise is going to be good-very good
If Mr.. Herwig will only call off his
dogs ofwar.
The local option election seems to
have put the fear of God into the hearts
of the people there and now they want
to be regulated right.
The new city charter provides an initi-
ative and referendum by means of which
it is proposed to pass law which will
make the Capital City Near-dry.
In a nutshell the proposed ordinance
will cover the following provisions;
Limit number of saloons in city to
eight, not more than one to block.
Increase license to $4,000 per year.
Open hours for saloons to be from
z a. m. to p. m.
Also provides where there is more
than one application to block, competi-
tive bids shall be submitted.
If all of these proposals become
incorporated into law it is said that the
drys will be satisfied and will not at
tempt to enforce the provisions of the
local option law. But think Of i'll All
saloons to close at nine O'Clock and only
eight of them in town.
Appropriate name for each of the
eight: "The Mint"

Father Marx will be here next Tues
day, April is.
1t is strange the condolences that
occur in everyday life. We had written
the editorial on the inside page and
printed it when along comes a letter
asking that announcement be made of
services next week. We are glad to
know that at least one religious organ
ization has come alive to the fact that
there are seven or eight hundred souls
in Silver City and De Lamar. Had the
letter arrived one mail earlier that edl-
torial would never have been written.
However, we have no apologies to make,
whatever. If any injustice has been
done, our columns are open to anyone
to correct it. We have only the greatest
respect and esteem for Father Marx and
are glad to welcome him to Silver at all
times.
Father Marx will be in Silver on
Tuesday, April IS, and first communion
will be administered on Sunday, April
2l, of which further announcement will
be made in next issue.

Bruneau, Idaho April 5, 1912. The
County Seat for Bruneau is the slogan
here A strong organization has been
effected and every man, woman, cat and
dog is boosting for it. A corps OF men
are in the field getting signatures to the
petition to the District Court and the
document is expected to contain, not
only the five hundred or so necessary to
induce the court to order an election,
but maybe twice that number. Every
man that signs the Bruneau petition
viii, of course, vote for it in November,
SO that every name gotten on the peti-
tion now is good campaign work done
for the election.
Many Of the Grandview folks, real
izing that they cannot expect to get the
County Seat at this time are in favor Of
throwing in their lot with their neigh
bors and the Bruneau people confidently
expect the solid support of the county
from Oreana east, with enough straggers
in the other parts of the county to carry
the election.

Now, boys" he said, II will give
you each three ordinary buttons. Here
they are. You must think Of the first
one as representing Life, Of the second
one as representing Liberty, and the
third one as representing the Pursuit of
Happiness. Next Sunday will ask you
each to produce the three buttons and
tell me what they represent"
The following Sunday the teacher
said to the youngest member.
Now Johnnie, produce your three
buttons and tell me what they stand for. "
81 aint got 'em all,'' he sobbed, hold
ing out two Of the buttons. Here's Life
an here's Liberty, but mommer sewed
the Pursuit Of Happiness on my pants"
