A Medicine Chest for 25c

In this chest you have an excellent
remedy for toothache, bruises, sprains
stiff neck, backache, neuralgia, rheu-
matism and for most emergencies.
One 25c bottle of Sloan's Liniment
does it all-this because these all
ments are symptoms, not diseases,
and are caused by congestion and in
fiammation. If you doubt, ask those
who use Sloan's Liniment, or better
still, buy 25c bottle and prove it. All

Ratliff Makes Record Assessment.

The Lewis county assessment was

never before attained in any county's
assessment in Idaho and speaks vol

Death Of Robert Earl

Robert Earl, father of Mrs. c. L.
Hotaling, whose serious illness was
mentioned last week, passed away
about five o'clock Saturday morning
and the remains were inferred in the
Nezperce cemetery Sunday, the fu-
neral being held at the Hotaling res
dence at Q 100 p. m, Rev. Geo. H.
Ellis conducting the same.
Deceased was 80 years old, moving
to Lincoln county, Washington, in
1882 settling in Earl precinct, at
the old Earl postofice which he
established in 1887, some 10 miles
southwest of Davenport, where he
resided until about 10 years ago
when he moved to Harrington, Wash
Later he went to Montana, then to
California, and recently was brought
to Idaho where it was thought his
health might be benefited, being a
sufferer from paralysis.
Mr.. Earl was well-known in Lincoln
county, Washington, being connected
with its early development. He
crossed the plains by OK wagon from
Illinois at the age of IL, his father
dying enroute, the older boys taking

Nezperce Prairie Booster

Robert Near returned this week
from Nezperce prairie, where he
has been assisting in harvest oper-
ations. He reports the grain crop
now being harvested in that section
as the greatest in the history of the
prairie. Numerous yields as high
as IS bushels to the acre have been
recorded. Fall barley is the only
crop not up to the big yield. Every
body is feeling good said Mr.. Near,
at the fine harvest and prospects for
top prices. = Charleston Republic.

Testimonial Concert.

Once in a season or SO it is th'
good fortune of a community like
ours to have a real musical and lit
erary treat, and as general rule
the artists to furnish this com.
from the larger centers where
the more talanted generally con
gregate. But such an opportunity
now is offered our little city and that
by local talent which is scarcely
outshown by the noted stars OF
greater communities.
On the evening of September 16,
at the Fraternal hall, Misses Alice
Bolton Fertig, Maude Battelle Ham
mel and Edith Wright will give such
a concert, and it is needless to say a
packed house will greet them.
Miss Fertig is student of Mrs
Ina Wright Herbst, of the Washing
ton State College at Pullman. Mrs.
Herbst is an artist of the highest
type, having studied with the leading
vocalists of Berlin, Germany, after
completing the course in the Univer-
sity of Michigan School of Music.
She then became the leading sopra-
no of the Royal Court Opera of
SAKE, Coburg, Gotha, and followed
that as head of the vocal depart
ment of Fietz Conservatory, Gotha.
In 1912 she returned to the United
States as a concert singer and,
year later, assumed her duties at
the State College of Washington,
where her work and that of her hus-
band is rapidly telling in the up
building of the music department of
that institution.
Misses Hammell and Wright are
each so we'll known to the people of
Nezperce and vicinity that further
elaboration upon their superior quail
tiles as dramatic reader and musical
artist would seem superhuous, and
those who have not had the privilege
of enjoying their talented efforts will
be the losers if they pass this occa-
sion by.
Keep in mind the date, Thursday
evening, Sept. 10. The admission
charge is so cents for adults and 25
cents for children.

To Welcome the New Corners.

The Woman's Mutual Developing
Society is completing arrangements S
for reception to be rendered the fac

The patrons and friends of the
schools are urgently requested to
reserve that date and be pres
ent to extend a welcome hand to
the strangers, who come to teach
among us, and also those who return

The Importance of these "get.to-
gether'o meetings between those in
terested in the welfare of our schools
and the instructors who devote their
time to such betterment can not be
over-cstimated nor can we understand
unless we have hlled like posi-
tion-the Importance of true well
come at the opening of the school
supplemented by hearty cooperation
as the weeks lengthen to months.
Let US remember tnat many of
our teachers are strangers, surround
ings and conditions are new to them,
and hearty reception as afforded
us by the Mothers club, followed by
days of cordiality and interest, will
mean much.
Better schools mean eventually
better town in every respect.
Let us then extend the hand of
welcome and let our teachers feel
that we are unit working for the
common good. ~

The supposition is that it started

contents were saved and the loss is
quite a severe blow to Mr.. Maher

Mexico's Latest CHAPTER.

The Mexican situation is now al
most as bad as it could possibly be.
There is no paramount authority, no
dominant figure among the swarm Of
revolutionary leaders. Even Villa,
who long looked like "the coming
man." seems to have lost his grip.
Industry, is paralyzed, commerce is
Frustrated, agriculture even seems
dead. The population is out of work,
out of money, out of food, facing star
Walton. Neither property nor life,
native or alien, is safe anywhere.
It is real chaois at last. r., :. ?, -.
The American people have hoped
that the Mexican people would work
out their own salvation. We are re-
luctantly forced to the conclusion
that they are incapable of it at this
time. They might, under wise lead
ership, in spite of the low citizen
ship standards of the masses, but no
Washington has appeared.
Unless a miracle occurs, there is
but one conceivable end-interven-
ton by the United States for the pur-
pose OF restoring order.
Tolerant waiting, however, has
brought this advantage. If we do
intervene, there will probably be no
bloody struggle such as Intervention
would have meant last year or the
year before. Mexico is no longer
truculent and: suspicious of the
"gringo." She is chastened and sub
dued by failure and misfortune
Mexico is almost ripe for Yankee in
tervention-at~ her own request,
If We invade Mexico now, we are
pretty, sure to go there as we went
y into Cuba in 1906, or even on better
terms. We shall not go with a con-
.quering army to shoot down reunited
rebels, but as Mexico's. big brother;
we shall restore.order with, Mexico's
consent and. corporations; then we
shall withdraw with. the gratitude of
all intelligent Mexicans, the streng-
thened, confidence and goodwill Of
the other Latin american. nations and
the renewed respect of the rest of
the world.
