TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described as Torture Re
lieyed by Black-Draught

lleNtu
Rossville, Ga-Mrs. Kate Lee Able,
of this place, writes: "My husband is
an engineer, and once while lifting,
he injured himself with a piece of
heavy machinery, across the aldo
men. He was so sore he could not
bear to press on himself at all, on
chest or abdomen. He weighed 165
lbs, and fell off until he weighed 10
lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it look-
ed like he would die. We had three
different doctors. yet with all their
medicine, his bowels failed to act. He
would catch me, and got so I
castor oil, and drink it two or three
DAYS in succession. He did this yet
without result. We became desperate,
he suffered so. He was swollen terri
hly. He told me his suffering could
only be decribed as torture.
I sent and bought Theford's Black
Draught. I made him take big dose,
and when it began to act he tainted,
he was in such misery, but he got
relief and began to mend at once. He
got well, and we both feel he owes
his life to Theford's Black-Draught."

City's Financial
Report Appreciated

At the meeting of the council on
Tuesday evening the monthly bills
we're all allowed as, filed excepting
two that were referred back for cor
rection of what the auditing commit
tee judged were errors.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the city clerk, L. j. Chapman, for
the extra work that he had done
voluntarily to give them a report of
all the city's finances segregated so
it was plain and would show every
thing the council needed to know in
details and in totals.
Regarding the Subject of milk
tests, it was found that there Is a
very stringent state law on the mat
ter, and it did not seem necessary
for the city to take any action unless
merely to secure action under the
state law.
The chief of police was instructed
to see that lights are placed on the
materials obstructing the street
where the tabernacle is being erect
ed on Shilling avenue.
To guard against future accidents
similar to the one that happened re-
Gently at the Blackfoot mill, the
council will take some action to Sc
cure the town against the erection
of buildings that will not stand up.

'vided that it was done in conformity
with the fire ordinance.

Organizing Rotary
Club in Blackfoot

Preliminaries to the organization
of rotary club in Blackfoot are go
ing forward. About eighteen names
are already included in the list of
charter members who will take up
the study and Practice of rotarian
activities.
The rotary club idea is one Of en-
couraging social friendship between
men of every specific calling, men
who would in the usual course of
business life seldom meet. For that
reason only one, or in some cases
two, men may be admitted to mem
bership out of any particular busi-
ness activity. There are something
like ESQ classifications, which in the
cities allows a large membership.
The organization in Blackfoot was
commenced last week by meeting
called by Joseph Young, rotarian
from Pocatello, who explained ro-
tarianism and outlined the procedure
of organizing.

to the present time has been raised
by voluntary subscriptions among the
Mormon people, Of the Blackfoot
stake, extending from Wapello to
Aberdeen, and it passed the $4,000
mark on the 23rd of November. Salt
Lake matched it dollar for dollar up
to $35, 200. There is yet to be raised
something over $4,000, and people
who are not members of this church
who wish to contribute will have the
opportunity to do so. When other
churches have been erected in the
town, people of all denominations,
including the Mormons, have put
money into the treasury, and as peo-
pie of this community have witnessed
the progress Of this building they
have given assurances Of their desire
to aid.
1t has been the wish and plan of
the men in charge of the undertake
ing that the members of the church
should do their part first, and then
the friends Of other faiths should be
invited to express their interest by
donations at the finish. There is
to be no assessment, no drive, no
expression of obligation upon any
one to aid, but committee will visit
the business houses and state their
errand, giving all the opportunity to
aid, and the committee will bear the
message of appreciation and graft

rendered. @

N. P. LEAGUE !,
!. SPEAKERS HERE
Cummings Told of Gov
A g.
ern1nent in Pocatello
/. by Wage Farmers
.McKAIG A B Sc IN T

Wednesday afternoon the Isis
theater was filled to about half it's
seating capacity by an audience as
sembled to hear Ray McKaig and
John Van Nuland speak on the SUBJ
ject of what the Nonpartisan league
has accomplished.
~ Mr.. McKaig was not present, hav-
ing been kept away by illness, and
there came as substitutes to speak
in his place B. A. Cummings, city
attorney of Pocatello, and his assist
ant, Ross w. Bates.
Mr.. Van Nuland was the first
speaker and his address was partly
statement of instances where the
farmers had marketed their products
for more money by shipping to the
consumers direct. The rest of his
address was chiefly review of what
they had done in North Dakota. It
was a criticism of the two old po-
litical parties and their conduct and
dnfairness toward the farmers which
resulted in the formation of another
party called the Nonpartisan league.
James Pendlebury presided at the
meeting and Mr.. Newland stated that
in regard to the taxes going up or
down in North Dakota under league
management, Mr.. Pendlebury had
some tax receipts handed in by a man
who had come from North Dakota
recently and he would read the re-
ceipts. When Mr.. Pendlebury took
the floor he looked over the receipts
and did not read them. He said that
If anybody in the audience was in
terested in knowing what they were
they could come up at the close Of
the meeting and see them.
Mr.. Cummings followed with a
short address, explaining how the
wage earners in Pocatello had taken
over the city government. He stated
that about 80 per cent of the people
iH PocAtello are working for wages
and the two old political parties had
been struggling for supremacy as
one, seeking to use the vote of the
working public. The two parties
succeeded in keeping them divided
and neither party ever did much for
the interest of the wage earners. In
the last campaign the Democratic
leaders called together the wage
earners and through series of meet
ings and consultations they succeed
ed in nominating enough candidates
representing the wage earners so
that 80 per cent of the ticket repre-
sented wage earners and the other
20 per cent the other interests.
During the campaign they were
accused of all manner of evil de-
signs, among which was the inten-
tion upon their part, if elected, to
run a wide open town. Mr.. Cum
mings stated that they were attacked
by advertising matter published
in the Pocatello Tribune-advertis-
ing that was not truthful and that
acted as a boomerang to unite the
Democratic voters more closely to-
gether and they carried the election.
They have since brought about the
