PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by
sense Of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbour
ing organs. At times. symptoms of
indigestion are present. as fatuency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing
a very disagreable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed, is
a very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching Piles yield at
once to the application OF DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy. which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, alleaving the intense itching,
and effecting a permanent cure where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability. bat try
it and be cured. Price, so cents. Ask
your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it of him, We will send it,
prepaid, on receipt of price. Address

a Voice Westward.

have lately heard various rumors,
they may be vague and yet they may
not. about the prospects of railroad
running from some point either on the
Mil & St. Paul, g. B. w. & St. Pau
c. & n. W., to be connected to the
branch road now being graded and tied
which is being built by private enter
prise on Hemlock creek at Vesper only
10 miles northwest from Centralia.
As an individual who owns clear
ing, a span of horses and a good
wagon in Wood Co. not great ways
west FROM Grand Rapids I would
ask through your paper, what is the
meaning of the remark | overheard a
prominent business man of Centralia
say, which was to the effect that in
the near future, probably next sum-
mer, this branch road woull find an
outlet somewhere. OF course if these
men who are building this road want
an outlet. they are going to have it
and 1t is only reasonable to presume
that some of the large railroad COM
panies will make bid for their bust
ness. Now what is to prevent us
folks from using our influence and per-
shading those men that Centralia and
Grand Rapids is their objective noint,
and that they want to connect with
the st. Paul line there. If the road
is going to be built let us have it
through our clearings. I will donate
all the right of way they want through
mine and so will many of my neigh
bors. will make money By it on the
increased value of my place. even if it
should be built within a mile or two,
L could move over, sell my bolts cord
wood and other timber delivered on
the line at almost the same price [ get
now and [ have to haul several
miles-think of the saving.
Mr.. Editor can you suggest some
means to induce the cities of Contra
liza and Grand Rapids to interest them
selves in having this branch road con-
meet with them. Trade would be in
creased, for their merchants would
naturally monopolize the furnishing of
supplies to chat new country opened
up, hotels would be benefited as ad
ditional travel would be induced. 1t
would be apt to make Centralia and
Grand Rapids central point for buy
ing and selling. | wish simply to
point out that the two cities mast Sc
cure the connection or some other
town will get it; they (Centralia and
Grand Rapids) will be just So much
out. I. as well as many others. are
equally interested and wish you to see
that prize is within your reach for
the mere asking.

Election Returns.

Especial to The Repub lean Sentinel
MADISON, Nov. 27.-The whole
number OF returns from county can
vassers have been received by Secretary
of State Timme and are approximately
correct. The total is subject. however
to the official canvass. The returns
show the Republican vote in the whole
State to have been 1862; the Dem
ocratic vote was 1O3, $40; the Prohi-
bltion vote was Ia, 116. In 1881
Rusk received S1,754, Fratt 69,7S7,
Kanouse 1925 Tbs Democratic
plurality over the Republican vote is
S,S04, but lacked 1922 of majority
over both the Republicans and Pro-
hlbitionists. The Eighth District
Prohibitionists endorsed Mr.. Price
and their votes counted as Republican.
1t is probable that had the straight
Prohibition candidate been running
the vote of the third party would have
been about 10000 in the State, gain
of nearly 81 per cent. The Green
back vote was very small, many coun-
ties returning none whatever. h.
