May t (Spe cial.) The Sells-Floto circus will show here Sunday. May despite the agita tion of church people and old soldiers against the exhibition. Amid tributes to the old soldiers, appeal to religious scruples, charges that the remonstrance petition was signed by many because of misrepre sentation, that many signed for any thing but because of religious scruples, and atatements that many who algned the petition would attend the circus, tbe remonstrance petition presented to the City Council at Its regular meeting Monday night asking the Council to re voke the license granted the Sells Floto circus was voted down with only one dissenting vote. The much-advertised pyrotechnic dis play developed without a hitch and many tlery words were spoken, laugh ter breaking the strain at Intervals when members of the Council endeav ored to show the absurdity of the position of some of the petitioners. Alany tributes were paid to the old soldiers, both by remonstrators and Councllmen. and It was made evident that none thought of May i being Memorial Sunday when the license was granted. The consensus of opinion of the Coun cllmen was that there was no way of stopping the circus after the license had been granted, and It was this feeling of helplessness that resulted in the remonstrance being so unanimously turned down.

GOVERNOR'S RACE LOOMS Gathering of Forces at Convention Will Give. Factions Opportunity to "Review" Gubernatorial Possibilities and t'pset Slates. BOISE. Idaho. May 8. (Special.) Although the action to be taken py the Lewlston state convention May 1 will have no direct bearing upon me Republican gubernatorial situation In this state, the gathering of the clans t Lewlston will, it is bellevea py party leaders here, afford many oi the delegates and those high in the counsels of th Republican, party an opportunity to review the political situation In Idaho. Slates have been formed and smashed at Lewlston before. Although no slate- smashing Is predicted this year con tenders for the Governor's and other state offices will be scrutinised closely. Many of the candidates will arrange to be on the scenes themselves, ana aner the convention they will tour the northern part of the state to fix their political fences. The hothea oi pontics will be transferred from Boise to Lew lston only temporarily. Two Aaplrants la Boise. Boise has two active ellglbles in the race for Governor. John M. Haines and John T. Morrison. The friends of both are claiming the victory at the primaries. At the Haines headquarters there Is the-greatest activity and every section of Idaho is la direct touch with those In charge. It is generally con ceded that the Haines people have the best atate organization. Mr. Haines passes most of his time In this city. He has made one. trio to the southeast, ana probably soon will make a trip north. The Morrison forces believe they have the gubernatorial situation" well in hand. Mr. Morrison has been In both the north and the south and de clares he Is satisfied with the outlook. Stephen B. Taylor. State Auditor, who has not announced his csndidacy for Governor, is said to be a strong nosslbllltv. Irrespective of the fact there Is one other candidate from his countv. Bonner. In Paul Clagstone. and a possible candidate in Byron F. Defen bach. It Is believed here that Defen bach will not enter the gubernatorial race but will be a candidate for State Senator from Bonner County. liaises Orsanlsatloa Wide. The Haines Republican Club, or- sranlzert in February, has reached every portion of the state. Should Mr. Haines receive the nomination at the primary election much credit will be due thla organization. The recent rumor that E. II. Dewey. Mavor of N'ampa. capitalist and rail road builder, haa decided to reconsider his decision to remain out of the Re publican gubernatorial race, created a stir In Boise. Mr. Pewey apparently Is plsytng a waiting game. If he enters the race South Idaho will have three candidates. His entrance would com plicate the situation. The Gooding candidacy has not been announced. Party Readers are expect ing It. Mr. Gooding has declared that whevi he wishes to announce his can didacy be will '.o ao himself. That Is tsken to mean that the nrst announce ment will come from Gooding's home city, Gooding. It la claimed here that every attempt has been made to dis courage his race. Judge Alfred Budge, of Tocatello. candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court, was In the city yesterday con ferring with friends. He Is en route north to relieve one ef the District Judgesv. He could shed no new light on the political situation, and had little to say with reference to his candi dacy. CASCADE COUNTY IS PLAN Oregon City Commercial Club Scene of Meeting. ' OREGON CITY, Or., May 8. (Spe cial.) Secession of the eastern part of Clackamas County and the organization of a new county to be known as Caa cade County, waa argued last night at the Oregon City Commercial Club, under the auspices of the Live Wires of the club. The meeting waa attended by 150 representatives from various parts of the county, and when a straw ballot was taken, tbe result was 69 in favor of a division and 66 against, some not voting. The meeting waa primarily to get the sentiment of the people. The speeches, of which there were about 25. were heated at times, and feeling was mani fested. The greatest apparent barrier In the movement Is the dissension among the residents of the eastern part of the county. There seems to be strife be tween residents in and near Estacada and Boring, each advancing arguments favoring their respective cities as be ing made the seat of the new county If the division is effected. This prom ises to spread a .feeling against the hllvislon more than the sentiment from the other portions of the country. "I did hot meet a man who favorod county division." said County Judge Beatle who returned today from a trip to Sandy. Bull Run. Boring and Da mascus, which are In the section of the county where secession is planned. "In fact, all the men with whom I talked were strongly against a partition of the county, and said it would be agaln.it the interest of all sections. 1 am con rldent that if a vote were taken in the eastern part of the county It would be two to one acainst division." . Judge. Beatle. who has visited various parts of the county in connection with bridge and road work, said that the same conditions existed at Highland and Colton. Junction City to Pave. JUNCTION CITY.

When I was a little girl my mother used to give me his reme dies every time I got sick, and they always brought me through. We had nothing else In the house. "Now I am married and have my own family of dear little children we still have nothing but Munyon's remedies in the house. We are the healthiest and happiest family in the city, and neither myself nor any of my family have ever In our lives taken any other medicines but Munyon's that is, ex cept once. My little girl had a terrible attack of indigestion and I called doctor. He gave her some medicine, but It didn't help her. Then I ran to my medicine chest and got some of Munyon's indigestion remedy, and within an hour she was resting easy It was the same way with my grand mother. She had the most severe case of rheumatism I ever saw. Doctors treated her and we did everything we could think of, but she kept getting worse all the time. I begged her to see Prof. Munyon. but she said she had no faith in the "new fangled medicines.' "Finally, however, she consented to come in and purchased the full uric add treatment. It worked just as an of Dr. Munyon's remedies have worked perfectly. Within a week her rheu mutism had entirely disappeared, and now she has not a trace of it. Tou see what I think of Dr. Munyon.
