One of the most startling features OF
the great Democratic landslide that
swept the Republicans out of power in
the state OF Idaho is the retirement
from the legislature Of many senators
and representatives whose names have
been familiar in the legislative body for
the last 10 or Is years.
Among the prominent Republican
leaders whom the people apparently
determined to sweep out of power may
be mentioned Senator John w. Hart,
the great Mormon leader of Jefferson
county, who was defeated for the first
time in his life by George E. Hill. who
is elected to the state senate from that
county; Senator Shepherd Of Bear Lake

SAVES
 KIDNEY SUFFi RERS

You naturally feel secure when you know that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is absolutely pure and con- tains no harmful or habit producing drugs
 The same standard of purity, strength and excellence, prescribed by pr. Kilmer many years ago, is main- tained in every bottle of SWamp-R Root.
 SWamp-RoOt is scientifically com- pounded from vegetable herbs. It is not a stimulant and is taken in tea spoonful doses. It is not recommend ed for everything. According to veri- fled testimony it is nature's great helper in relieving and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder troubles.
 If you suffer, don't delay another day. Go to your nearest druggist now and get a bottle. All drug stores sell it in two sizes-fifty cents and one dollar.
 However. if you wish first to try this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bing nghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the New Britain Herald.

Perry were the only ones present at the meeting called for the mayors office last evening for the purpose of discussing the organization of New Britain Historical society for the preservation of traditional landmarks, principally the old Col. Isaac Lee hom estead and the Burritt House. The stormy weather may have kept some away so it is likely that another meeting will be called soon.
 A general discussion was held last evening but no action taken Mayor Quigley called attention to the fact that so-called Burritt house in the rear of Finnegan's livery stables is not in reality the Elihu Burritt homestead but was the old Strickland homestead. Burritt's only connection with this house was that he boarded there for a time.

IT WAS HIS BUSINESS
Officer Moore Declines to Accept Ulti- InatUm of Suspicious Character and Club Is Found Under Mans Coat

Patrick Gill of 3S7 Main street, night watchman in the yards of a To- cal factory, may have had the satis- faction last night of telling Police- man Francis J. Moore that it was none of his business" when stopped at East Main and Stanley streets with inquiry as to the suspicious bulg- ing under his coat But it cost him $5 and costs in police court today when arraigned before Judge James T. Meskill charged with intOxicatiOn. The suspicious bulging was caused by a heavy wooden stake that Gill had concealed under his coat. It was ex- hibited in court and Policeman Moore testified that Gill tried to use it on his head in the role of a police night stick. The former was too quick for his would-be assailapt. Gill refused to state his reasons for being armed with the weapon and felt that he was much abused for having to experience the disgrace of 9 place in the court dock. He said that he did not know of any reason why he should be there unless he was regarded as suspi- cious charactr,'
 Because there was no interpreter present to aid in the exannnaton of Polish witnesses the continued hear ing in which Charles SetWich of 14 Woodland street was charged with as- sault upon his brother, Stanley, did not take place. Following confer ence between Prosecuting Attorney George w. Klett and Attorney J. A. Glover, counsel for the defense, Judge Meskill allowed 8 nolle upon pay ment of costs. Out of about twelve witnesses and spectators, no one was found who admitted a sufficient knowledge of English and Polish to attempt the duties of interpreter.
