STATE GATHERING
AT The CAPITAL
Executive Committee to
Hold Meeting to Consider
Preliminary Plans for the
Coming Campaign.

The executive committee of the Re-
publican state central committee COM
posed of six members, including Evan
Evans, state chairman, will meet in
Boise tomorrow for the purpose of
discussing plans for the 1916 campaign
and attending to such other business
as may come before 1t. Several of the
members of the committee as well as
the chairman are now in the city. 1t
is probable there may be some changes
in its personnel owing to the prospect
of designations which may be made by
members who wish to take an active
part in the coming campaign.
When seen today State Chairman
Evans, discussing the political situa-
ton, the meeting of the executive COM
mittee and the weather, said that it
was rather early for much of a stir
in politics and the direct primary cleo
ton is long ways off. Mr.. Evans has

touch with the situation. He has

(Capital News special SERVICE
Payette, Feb. 11.-John Kay, who has
the contract for carrying the mail on
the star route from Payette to French,
which is on Little Willow, 20 miles
east of Payette, was completely soaked
in the rushing waters of the Little
Willow Tuesday. He was attempting
to cross the stream near its head. The
culvert at that point was washed out.
The horses expected to step on the
culvert, but instead they dropped into
the water and were almost submerged.
In thus dropping they pulled Mr.. Kay
out of the wagon and he fell into the
flood waters. Fortunately he held onto
the lines and succeeded in getting the
horses and wagon on shore without
further injury Kind neighbors fitted
him up with a complete change of dry
clothes and he proceeded to the end
of the route and returned to Payette.

Each number was thoroughly enjoyed
and roundly applauded. Miss Landon
has soprano voice of much sweet
ness, and Mrs. Cassel has a contralto
voice full of power and beauty. MIR.
Cassels rich baritone voice was at its
best. His voice has wide range and
he is a complete master of IT. MIR.
Cassel was for years a member of
male quartets that were famed as
leading musical attractions on some OF
the largest Chautauqua circuits.
Professor Wilson's work on the vio-

desired She is a very talented plan

Reliable Laxative
Relieved This Baby
Child Was Badly Consti-
pated Until Mother Tried
Simple Remedy.

In spite of every care and attention
to diet, children are very apt to become
a condition responsible for
many ills in after life unless promptly
relieved.
Mrs. c. w. Wilson, OF Shelbyville,
Tenn, had trouble with her baby boy,
woodrow, until she heard of DIR. Cald-

Pepsin is the best remedy of its kind
on earth. 1t acts so gently and yet so
surely. Little Woodrow was very badly
constipated and we could find nothing
that gave relief until we tried your
Syrup Pepsin, which gave immediate
relief"
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs,
mild in action, positive in effect and
pleasant to the taste. 1t has been pre-
scribed by DR.. Caldwell for more than
a quarter of a century and can now be

there to the Sunset Limited route.
After leaving New Orleans, we still
had |, 100 miles to 60 before reach
ing our destination. Our next stop
was Lake Charles. La, where we had
the pleasure of seeing the Damon oil
fields. Leaving Louisiana, Orange
was the first town in Texas through
which we passed, our first stop being
Roseberg. We were two days and
nights crossing the State. We passed
by ranch after ranch and saw thou
sands upon thousands of horses and
cattle but nothing else except prai-
rie dogs and coyotes, not a human
being, not even a Mexican, to be seen.
Our second and most important
stop was San Antonio, where we ar
rived about 7:30 p. m. The ladies
served ice cream and cake in abun-
dance. They were assisted by the
boy scouts. All the boys met several
good looking girls there, ,and most of
them have received cards or letters
from that city. After San Antonio,
we struck the first outpost at San
derson. From there on, every water
tank and station was guarded. The
country all along from Sanderson to
Ell Paso is very mountainous. At
one outpost about ten miles from
here we passed one outpost where
the railroad is so winding that we
passed one tent three times. Com,
ing along through the mountains.we
saw one deer. two small bears and
several coyotes.
We arrived in Ell Paso about 10
D. m. Saturday in pouring rain. so
we slept on the cars. Early Sunday
morning we marched from the train
to our camping ground, which was
covered with cactus and sage brush.
We stacked our arms, took our en-.

breakfast began the task of cleaning
away everything, and by 4 p. m. we

WEEKLY CHRONICLE
FROM LAKE CITY.
PEPPERS PROVE PROFITABLE
TOBACCO SEASON CLOSING
THOSE GOING AND COMING.

Lake City, August 29:-The pep
per farmers are gathering and cur
ing their crop, getting ready to mar
ket it. The pepper that is being
raised around here is not the large
sweet kind, but the long slender,
hot kind, paprika. 1t is gathered
after it turns red, cured in tobacco
barns in trays with screen wire bot
toms, packed into sacks and shipped
direct to spice mills. The returns
are proving right satisfactory.
With the close of the last week
the main portion of the tobacco sea-
son came to close. Buyers are
still here and sales are made each
day, but the quantities are steadily
growing less as the end of the crop
is being approached.
Mrs Ella F jones is at Flat Rock,
N C, enjoying the mountain climate.
MIR A M Parker came home from
Pawley's Island to vote. He says
the storm struck the coast just south
of the island and did no damage on
the island.
A young man of Georgetown and
another of Union are the most per-
sistent visitors Lake City has. They
are not transients either; and their
persistence is giving some local boys
pain, and such pain!
1t is reported that Mrs Kate Hall
and family are getting ready to
move to Greenville, which was Mrs

horned toad and a prairie dog in
our tent. The toad is tied with a
string around its neck, and the dog
is in box. After we finished pitch
ing tents we had another meal Of
hard tack" and corned beef and we
were all ready for a good nights
rest. We haven't been doing very
much lately, only drilling little.
Before we left Styx we heard so
much about the hot weather here,
but we find it much cooler than in
South Carolina. We almost freeze
every night under heavy woolen
blankets. The water here is just fine.
The elevation is 4 ,447 3-16 feet.
The boys in our company decided
to make up purse and buy instru-
ments for a string band. Each of
the boys gave Is cents and all offic.
ers gave 81, so we had a plenty to
get what we needed. Some of US
boys went to town Thursday to get
them. We took the street car at Fl
Bliss and had fine trip going. We
got the instruments we went for and
then took in the town. We went
down San Antonio to the interna.
tional bridge across the Rio Grande
and looked over into Juarez. Mexico.
No soldiers are allowed to cross the
bridge, so we could only look over
into the city and see the Mexican
troops patrolling the border on their
side.
While we were there we saw thou.

where they had been working during
the day, going back to Juarez. The

impression that this is very large
stream and was disappointed to find
it not half as large as Black river.
While we were in town a big rair
came up and all the water rushed
down from the mountains into the
city. For about an hour the streets
looked like rivers, and all car traffic
was suspended for several hours. We
left there at 7::30 and arrived al
camp at 10:45, just before taps
Then we had to walk about mile.
The best crops we saw along thu

the corn and cotton in that State
were pretty good. In Alabama, Mis-
