furnishing such material in such

any pay, and the parties doing
the work for the state ought to
take cognizance of the interpre-

themselves accordingly.
This applied to all contracts

purpose whatsoever, and all alike

Worthless Check
Artist In City
TWO MERCHANTS ARE vICTIMIZED
Attempt Also Made To Pass Worthless Check On
Another No Arrests Made

A worthless check artist was
operating in this city Monday.
Two local merchants we're tax
en- in by him and an attempt
was made to pass a third worth
less check at Oliver Nelson's.
The man came into Nelson 5
store about five o'clock Monday
evening and attempted to buy a
six dollar mackinaw, rendering a
check purporting to be drawn by
SEQ. Aimes in favor of Dan Cor
bin for S28.OO in payment. Mr..
Nelson looked at the check and
remarked that Aimes must be a
new man here as he had never
Cashed any of his checks. The
fellow stated that Aimes was
tie man operating on the branch
line and that he and several
others had quit and received
checks on the First National
Bank.
Nelson turned to the telephone
and called up the bank to inquire
about Aimes and was informed
that they had no record of the
man. He then told the fellow
that he would send his clerk to
the bank with the check and see
if it was all right The fellow
took off the mackinaw and said
he would go up to the bank and
sec if there was anything wrong
with The check as if it was not
good nc would have to go back
TO the camp. He then hurried
from the store and was not seen
again.
Inquiry showed that he had
previously passed a check for
S24.OO at Davis & Links, taking
a part out in trade and the re-
maider in cash. The same day
a worthless check was passed on
Davis & Sons, whether by the
same person or not is not known.
The party who passed the lat
ter check was a young fellow
about eighteen or twenty years
old. lie came into the store
and purchased a suit of clothes,
giving a check for fifteen dollars
in payment. The check pur-
ported to be drawn by d. j. Will
son Of the Lewiston Box Factory
in favor Of Ben Neuman on the
First National Bank of this city
Mr.. Wilson pronounced the check
a forgery and swOre out war
rant for the mans arrest but he
has not been found.

PLAN TO REPEAL
BEAR BOUNTY LAW

Every possible effort will be
made when the next legislature
cOnvenes to repeal the law pro-
viding for a bounty to be paid by
the state on bears. A bill has
been drafted and is ready for pre-
sentation to the legislature call
ing for the repeal of the act. It
is held in support of such a bill
by its hackers that to pay bOun-
ty on bears in Idaho is unneces-
sary as the animals are harmless
so far as the damage tOs took is
concerned and uncontrolled trap
ping of them in order that boun-
ties may be collected from the

Gated within a few years. If the

Thomas Morris
Hit By Log
HAS A VERY FORTUNATE ESCAPE
No Bones Broken. -Four Teeth Knocked Out
Severe Bruises Only Other Injuries

To have an eighteen foot fir
log roll from a train directly on
top of him, striking him on the
head and shoulders and pinning
him to the ground and then to
escape without a broken bone is
an experience that few men can
boast of. That was exactly what
happened to Tom Morris at the
Milwaukee Lumber company's
camp at Alder Greek Wednesday,
Morris was working on the
jammer loading logs from a skid
way on car and had sent up an
eighteen foot fir log, which was
dropped on top Of the logs already
on the car. The chain which
is used to fasten the logs on the
car had not been hooked and
when the log was dropped it
rolled off the car. Morris was
unable to get out of the way Of
the log which struck him on the
side Of the face and right shoul-
der knocking him down and pin
ming him to the ground.
After the men working with
him had raised the log it was
found that the blow on the side
.Of the face had knocked four OF
Morris teeth out and loOsened
several others and his face was
badly cut and his shoulder and
arm severely bruised.
He was brought to this city
and taken to the St. Maries hos
pital where an examination by the
doctors disclosed the fact that
no bones were broken He suf-
fered considerable pain from the
bruiss on his shoulder and side
but was able to be up and walk
around the next day.

near Avery, and who was we'll
known in this city, was found
dead in his room in a hotel in

MANY APPLICATIONS TO
PURCHASE ALCOHOL

In the fS months since the pro-
hibition law went into effect in
this state the probate judge of
this county has issued 286 per-
mites to purchase alcohol. More
than as many more applicants
have been refused permits. These
applicants generally claim to
want the alcohol for medicinal
purposes and the most frequent
statement is that the applicant
has rhuematism and wishes the
alcohol for a rub.
Many of these parties come in
limping and pretending to be
hardly able to walk, when the
Judge is sure in his own mind
that the sickness is a sham and
the alcohol is to be used for bev-
erage purposes Unless the ap-
plicant has a prescription or a
note from a physician or is known

III. STEAMERS USE !

Because other wharves at Hilo have
leen declared unsafe, nearly all yes
sells arriving there now are using the
Kuhio wharf, among these being the
steamers OF the .Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company. .#~.
According to President ]. A. Ken.
nedy this morning, the steamers are
having no difficulty at this time in
docking there, although he, expressed
doubt as to the safety of their landing
there next winter.
The only trouble at present, he said,
Is the limited dock facilities in the
harbor with, only one wharf In use.
"A number Of times the mter-Island
steamers have been forced to wait for
docking space when large steamers
have been discharging at the Kuhio
wharf," he said. "This condition is
very. bad and we hone something will
be done to relieve these congestions. !"

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID ST0MACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
BY a Stomach Specialist

As a specialist who, has spent many
years in the study and treatment Of
stomach troubles, ] have been forced
10 the conclusion that most people
who complain Of stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real trouble,
that which causes all the pain and
difficulty, is excessive acid in the
stomach, aggravated by food fermen
.tstion. Hyper-acidity irritates the
delicate lining of the stomach apd
food fermentation causes wind when
distends the stomach .abnormalfy,
causing that full bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process Of diges.

and normal, but irritated almost past
endurance by these foreign elements
-acid and wind In all such cases
and they comprise over 80 per cent
Of all stomach difficulties--the first
and only step necessary is to neutra.
Gze the acid and stop the fermenta-
ton by taking in little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuls Of bisu-
rated magnesia, which is doubtless
the best and only really effective ant
acid and food corrective known. The
acid will be neutralized and the fer
mentation stopped almost instantly,
and your stomach will at once pro-
coed to digest the food in healthy,
normal manner. Be sure to ask your
druggist for the bisurated magnesia,
