BRADY WINS IN IDAHO Race for Congress Is So Close That No Accurate Statement Is Possible Now. A»-oclated Pre**. Boise, Idaho, Aug. 31.—Indications this morning are that Brady, republi can, was nominated for governor by About 2500 majority at yesterday’s primaries. The race for congress is so close between Hamar and French, re publicans, that no accurate statement is possible at this time. It developed that in this city many democrats voted for O’Neill, republican, for governor, and the plan was carried out over the state, thus cutting down Brady’s ma jority and possibly beating Hawley, democrat, for governor and nominating Rice. MOTHER’S “NOTIONS’’ Good for Young People to Follow. “My little grandson often comes up to show me how large the muscles of his arms are. “He was a delicate child, but has de veloped into a strong, healthy boy and Postum has been the principal factor. “I was induced to give him the Pos tnm because of my own experience with it. “I am sixty years old, and have been a victim of nervous dyspepsia for many years. Have tried all sorts of med icines and had treatment from many physicians, but no permanent relief came. I believe nervous dyspeptics suf fer more than other sick people, as they are affected as well as physically. “I used to read the Postum adver tisements in our paper. At first I gave but little attention to them, thinking it was a fraud like so many I had tried, but finally something in one of the ad vertisements made me conclude to try it. “I was very particular to have it pre pared strictly according to directions, and used good, rich cream. It was very nice indeed, and about bedtime I said to the members of the family that I be lieved I felt better. One of them laughed and said, ‘That’s another of mother’s notions,’ but the notion has not left me yet. “I continued to improve right along after leaving off coffee and taking Pos tum. and now after three years’ use I feel so well that lam almost young again. I know Postum was the cause of the change in my health and I can not say Too much in its favor.

D. Worthley was host at a happily planned and merry dinner at Springer’s garden on River avenue last evening. The table was spread #n an island near Brackenridge park. In the woods were five negro quartets, nearby, but screen ed by the foliage and music was con stant during the evening, ranging from old-time negro melodies to the late “rag times,” which were joined in by the entire party. Jack Foster added largely to the program by singing sev eral solos that made a hit on Broad way last season. Mendel Marks toasted the host, ending his remarks with the positive, heart-felt assertion: “The drouth has at last been broken.” The menu was an unusually elaborate piece of work, containing some appre ciated, mirth-bringing remarks on the characteristics of several of the guests.
