HOWARD SEBREE CO Oaldwell'and Shoshone, Idaho Dyspepsia Make* the lives of many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. Distress after eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, " all gone " feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and Irregu larity of the bowols, arc Distress some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia doe« _ . not get well of Itself. It Eating requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood's Sarsa pariUa, which acts gently, yet surely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and other orgaii3, regulates the digestion, creataa * good appetite, and by thus SÎCk orercomlng the local symiv a rfnr t. a toms removes the sympa- ncdHtn<no thetic effects ot the disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind. " I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat u . distressed me, or did me WeaiT" good. i n an hotir bum after eating I woul* expe rlence a falntness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up in a §QUr room with fresh paint. Last ». _ a( ,i. spring I took Hood's Sarsar flVOmacn rîlla— took three bottles. It did me an immense amount of good.

The following is one of the many dispatches that are of almost daily occurence in the papers: New Yokk , April 8.—Salt Lake Tribune.—Congressman Roswell P. Flower has started for a seven or eight week's trip to California with his family. Flower designs com bining business with pleasure. He strongly favors a National policy which shall give our interior states which have no rivers and harbors or creeks to improve, a share in the public expenditures. For such pur poses he wants to see a grand Nat ional system of water sheds estab lished under the army engineers in the western parts of Dakota, Nebras ka, Kansas, Texas and the States and Territories lying between those States and California, for storage of water, so all that fertile territory may be brought into culture and re lieved from the summer droughts, so Flowers'« trip may bring results of greater importance than the Pleasure derived from a visit to the acific Coast at this season COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The trial jury were discharged for the term on the 10th inst. All cases remaining will be tried with out a jury. The new jury seats are a great improvement over the old benches, which made jurors think more of porous plaßters, after a few hours sitting, than of the testimony. Judge Weir and District Attor ney Wilson went before the County Commissioners on the 10th inst., to consult with reference to chang ing the shape of the court room, in order to avoid the unpleasant echo that prevails. The flat ceiling acts as a sounding board and renders it almost impossible for speakers to be heard. It is thought the mat ter can be remedied at a small out lay by arching the ceiling and changing the position of the Judge's bench. The case of Linsen against Bel lar has also been decided. The perties to the action are brother and sister, and the sister com menced suit to recover wages while keeping house for Mr. Beller. The action was decided in her favor in the Probate Court several months ago, she obtaining a judgment for $343. The brother appealed to the District Court, where Mrs. Linsen obtained a judgment* against him for $353.00, besides costs. Tbe case of the Territory against Henry Rice, who was indicted for the murder of John Lorenson, in the Stirm & Miller brewery at Payette, in October last, was con eluded on Friday. The jury were out thirteen hours and finally brought in a verdict of murder in the second degree. The Court fix ed the 16th instant for passing sen tence. The lowest sentence that can be given is ten years, the high est is imprisonment for life. No new trial will be sought PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION. The following proclamation has be«n issued by President Harrison: "One hundred years have passed since tho government which our forefathers Joumlod was fortnnîiy organised. At noon on the '50th day of April, 1889, in the city of New York, and in the preseiwe of an assemblage of lwroic men, whose patriotic devotion had led tho colo nies to victory and independence, George Washington took the oath of office as chief magistrate of the new-born republic. This impres sive act was preceded at 9 o'clock in the morning in all the churches of tho city by prayer for God's blessing on the government. The first presidential centennial of this illustrious event in our history has been declared a general holiday by act of congress, to the end that the people of tho whole country may join in commemorative exorcise« appropriate to the day, in order th*t the joy of the occasion may be asso ciated with deep thankfulness in the minds of the people for all our blessings in the past and devout supplication to God for their gra cious continuance in the future. Representatives of tho religious creeds, both Christian and Hebrew, have memorialized tho government to designate an hour for prayer and thanksgiving on that day. "Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, president of the United States of America, in response to this pious and reasonable request, do recommend that on Tuesday, April 30, at the hour of 9 o'clock in the morning, the people of the en tire country repair to their respec tive places of divine worship to im plore the favor of Cod that the blessings of liberty, prosperity and peace may abide with us as a people, and that Iiis hand may lead us in the paths of righteousness and good deeds." Politico! 4»nisip. Pelegato Dubois is expected home early in May. Secretary Curtis can now hold his chair down for four years more. Governor Shoup is expected in Boise City on the 18th, and will meet with a rousing reception. The Controller, Treasurer and Superintendent of Public Instruc tion cannot be removed until the end of their term. The Statehood boomers are ac tively at work. Efforts are being made to postpone the time of hold ing the Constitutional Convention until some time in August. A telegram was received on Wed nesday from D. P. B. Pride that ex-sherifF Joe Wilson would re ceive his appointment the next day as United States Marshal for Idaho. The Chicago Times Washington j special, says: It is reported that" '"'the appointment of ex- Governor Stone of Iowa as Commissioner of tho Land Office will be announced to-morrow. A circular from the General Land Office at Washington to Registers and Receivers throughout the coun try confirms the main points of the new land law as published in The Tribune recently. Twice as many people are now on the border of Oklahoma as can be accommodated under homestead act. Monday morning 300 new settlers poured in from the East and elsewhere. Many of them rep resent colonies and are there as ad vanced agents from Washington, California, Utah, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and elsewhere. These colonies numbé? 500 each. A large number of extra passenger cars have been ordered to await the rush of April 22nd. The railroads are making preparations for a grand rush. The original Oklahoma boomers, now encamped on the border land threaten to burn the bridges on the Santa Fe railroad on the night of April 21, in order to keep the thousands of colonists who have planned to reach thereon the 22d— the day of opening—from reaching their destination. Under the law there is room for only 11,000 home steaders, and more than that num ber are now as near the promised land as it is possible to get until the 22d inst Instead of taking plows and other agrisultural imple ments in with them the boomers are strapping on six-shooters. How a Chinese Lily Helps to If in a Prize S. E. Davis, of Firebaugh, Fresno, Cal., owes his luck in the last draw ing of the Louisiana State Lottery to a Chinaman in his employ who prior to the drawing gave him a a Chinese lily bulb, a present among the Chinese, as they believe it brings good luck. When the winning numbers were telegrahed Mr. Davis received news that he was the win ner of $15,000.— San 1 * Francisco (Cal.) Chronicle Feb. 11. A Great Battle. Is continually going on in the hu man system. The demon of impure blood strives to gain victory over the constitution,, to ruin health, to drag victims to the grave.
