Neuralgia, Sprains,
Pain in the Back and Side.
There is nothing more painful than these
diseases; but the pain can be removed and
the disease cured BY use Of Perry Davis
Pain Killer.
This remedy is not a cheap Benzine
or Petroleum product that must be kept
away from fire or heat to avoid danger
OF explosion, nor is 1t an untried expert
ment that may do more harm than good.
Pain Killer has been In constant use
for forty years, and the universal testimony
from all parts Of the world is, Il never
rails. It not only effects permanent cure,
but it relieves pain almost instantaneously.
Being purely vegetable remedy, it is safe
In the hands Of the most inexperienced.
The record Of cures by the use Of PAIN
KILLER would I'LL volumes. The following
extracts from letters received show what
those who have tried it think:
Edgar Cady, owatonna, MIMI, says:
ABOUT year since my wife became subject

Charles Powell writes FROM the Sailors
had been afflicted three years with neuralgia
At EoEent Of The stomach The doctors

me immediate relief. have regained my
strength and am now able to follow my usual
occupation.
Oh. Walworth, Saco, Me-, writes:
II experienced immediate relief from pain tn
- the side by the use of your Pam KILLER
E. York says:
Ihave used your PAM KILLRR for rheumatism,
:. and nave received great benefit.
Barton Seaman SAYS
Have used PAM KILLER for thirty years,
and have found it a nerers failing remedy for
rheumatism and lameness
Mr. Burditt writes:
inere, fa,ls give relief In cases of rheumatism
<nn. Glpert, Somerset, Pa, writes:
FROM actual use, know your PAIN KILLED
is the best medicine can get
All druggists keep PAIN KILLER Its price
is SO low that it is within the roach Of all,
and it viii save many times its cost In doctors
bills 25c., Soc. and $1.OO bottle.

THE UNIT RULE.

The adoption Of the unit rule by the local
democracy in the precinct primaries is an evil
dence OF increasing party tyranny, which is sell
dom submitted to tamely. Under certain cir
cumstances this rule is justiiiable, to-wit:
where meeting electing delegates TO con-
vention passes resolution instructng its dele
gates to vote for certain men or measures, it is
appropriate to pass resolution inshucting
them to vote as unit, in order to prevent
any delegate disappearing the will of the
meeting; and in that case every delegate &C
cepts the position upon the conditions named.
But when meeting proceeds to elect a set of
delegates, and gives them no instruction as to
the will of the majority, as to candidates or
measures, the adoption of the instruction to
vote as unit is an attempt to gag the dele
gates seldom recognized as binding.
At the Chicago convention General Grant
was defeated because of an attempt to enforce
the unit rule, and the republican party set
down upon such character of instruction. Will
the unit rule be observed in our democratic
county convention? For instance, it is claimed
that certain wards are anti-French, but no
resolution was passed to that effect, and the
unit rule" was adopted.
When precinct No. 3 is called for instance,
and the attempt is made to vote the precinct
solid for Smith and several delegates get up
and contend that they have right to vote on
that question as they see fit, as no instructions
were given, it will be an extraordinary thing
if they are not allowed to do so. We think it
a mistake on the part of Mr.. Smiths friends
that they did not have definite instructions
passed by the primaries.

popularity of this school is shown by the arriv-

party of select musicians. The pieces were
chosen especially for the occasion and was dis
coursed upon bells, tin horns, and pans. 1t is

come before the people asking to be made
sheriff of this county, but as he has not inser-

vouch for truth of the report however it may be
that Mr.. Huston has caught the independent
fever and come out on that popular platform
which has such big boom at present.
We have plenty Of independent timber all

a master hand to fashion it.

French for Mayor.

Having been defeated in his aspirations for
county clerk, Mr.. French is understood to be
a candidate for the democratic nomination for
mayor next time. This is the same game CHS
honor" played last time, but he did not 90 so
far in his aspirations for county Office. The
truth is, Mayor French has used the demo-
cratic party for all that it is worth. He was
elected mayor the last time as regular dem
ocratic nominee when he could have been
elected as an independent, which would have
been more consistent with his record. In his

memories about their own candidates, and such
brilliant recollectons about Gov. Davis

Accidentally housekeeper made a discov-
cry that may interest our readers. For cook
ing purposes she beat up some eggs and su-
CARED them. Spe was called suddenly to the
country, and only returned four months later.
The sugared eggs had not been touched. Ex-
pecting to find the mess spoilt or dried up,
she was surprised to find the dish, though ex-
posed to the air, as sweet as ever, and she
found It as serviceably as if freshly beaten,
and besides the npening greatly improved the
quality.
