Water Board Emmisaries

The secret meeting of the water board
ring, which was held in Pinkley's office on
Tuesday evening the 18th, anu exposed in
THE ARGUS, soon after. nominated Billy
Butler for mayor and sent committee to
see if he would run. He consented to run
on condition that the water board ring
should pay the expenses of the campaign
and he not be called on for cent.
The next thing was to secure his nomina-
ton by the Republican convention-or,
rather, to make up and pack convention
to nominate him publicly. Accordingly
emmissaries of the water board ring were
appointed to go around among the saloons
and treat and work up apublic sentiment
for him and try to pack convention in
the interest Of Butler and the water board
ring. Last night Krell took turn through
the saloons over the slough, but he met Q
poor reception, In one saloon he treated
few times and then opened the subject Of
his visit. He was answered by all hands
that in no event would they vote for But
Ter. Krell then commenced to argue witt
the saloon keeper but he got an answer
back, with the bark on. The saloon keep.
er said:
MIR. Krell you can treat as often as yor
please-that's all righs-but | shall moi
vote for Butler. You never come to IN,
place only few days before election. Las
spring. just before election, you came and
treated few times-then you don't know
me till another election comes around
That is too thin. My beer is for sale, Blu
not my vote. / shall not vote for Butler.
Then another man spoke up as follows
''Krell have always been Republican,
abolition Republican-but none of tina
water board crowd for me-not any vii
not go for Butler"
| And that is G fair sample OF the recep
ton Krell met with last night.
| The people say, Give us anything
but that water board crowd-any GOO
man, Republican or Democrat, who is no
and can not be run by that water boar,
ring"

Amelioration and Cure.

Amelioration of the symptoms of a disease is, OF
course, one desirable object of medication, and
there are no doubt, palliatives which possess con
siderable remedial efficacy. The temporary dis
appearance of the indicia of disease, too many
instances however deude the sick into belief that
they are cured. Many Of those who have borne
grateful testimony of the permanent remedial
effects Of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, In cases OF
liver disorders, chronic constipation Intermittent
and remittent fevers, urinary and rheumatic all
ments have also recorded the fact that the tempory
relief occasionally afforded by the medicines VIII On
they tried before using the great restorative inspired
hopes which were speedily dissipated by return
of the malady. The Bitters not only relieve, but
if persistently and regularly taken, cure the
maiadies to which they are adapted.
