EVAN EVANS CHOSEN.
Selected Chairman of Republican State
Central Committee-Choice Unanimous.

A telegram received Wednesday an
nouneed that Mr.. Evan Evans was the
unanimous choice of the Repul lean
State Central Committee as chairman.
The news is very gratifying to the
many friends of Mr.. Evans and con-
g'ratulations have been pouring in on
him by reason of the token of conf
dence which the members of the party
have in him in making his chairman by
unanimous vote.
The honor which has been conferred
upon Mr.. Evans is shared by the resi-
detnts of this community and Idaho
county where he has always made his
home and where his participation in
matters of public interest and his capa-
BILE conduct and management as leader
has given him the affluence which has
inspired the splendid confidence ex-
pressed by the members of his party
in making the choice. That this con-
fidenee is not misplaced and that Mr..
Evans will serve most efficiently is not
doubted by his many friends who know
him here.

DENVER BAND GOOD.

The Denver band is certainly ere.
ditable organization to any community
and in it's three days work in supplying
the musical end of the celebration it
was not wanting in any respect, the
group of young men being always on the
job and serving out generous amount
of musical selections all day. Their
director, Professor Morris of Kamiah
has done much in making good band
and on the other hand he must be just
as proud of the boys who show up SC
well under his directions. Yesterday
the young men filed into the Free
Press office and serenaded the office
force with "Tipperary." The office
force were unanimous in their spprecia

SCIENCE AND REASON.

Yes, science and reason, these have
ception. Unassisted by the light of
science, men would still be calling the
earth flat, the moon illuminating
the sky a solid vault, the stars small
points of light. For they seem SO to
the senses. The wise man knows that
things are not as they seem to the
average person. His perception pene-
trates and he reasons from cause to
effect.
The average person, even "educat-
edo believes that if the sight Of the
eyes are good to see distant objects,
the person must have "strong- eyes. y
Yet the turth of the matter Is the far
seeing eye is the eye that uses the most
nerve force from the body and the short
seeing (near-sighted) eye uses the least
nerve force from the body. The far
seeing eye keeps its muscles on ten
ton all during wakefullness and this
constant tention depletes the nervous
system of force and is the cause OF
much nervousness and kindred troubles
not apparently associated with the eyes
The near-sighted eye uses the least
nerve-force because the muscles Of such
eyes are not kept on tention and be
cause of so much work now INDUCED in
evolution is tending to build the eyel
in that direction. If suffering from
any nervous disorders, don't fail Il
have your eyes thoroughly examined
they may be the real cause Of the trou
