REPRESENTATIVE HENDERSON
was before the House committee on
invalid pensions Tuesday, in sup
port of his bill to increase the pen
sion of those who lost an arm or a
leg in the service. The bill pro-
yides that in sail cases where hand
or foot has been lost pension shall
be $35 month. Where a leg is
amputated at the knee or arm at the
elbow Joint, or so near thereto above
or below joint as to be equivalent to
amputation at knee or elbow Joint,
$40 a month. Where amputations
have been made at shoulder or hip
joints or near enough thereto to dis
qualify the soldier from wearing an
artificial limb, pension shall be $45
a month";. Former bills with like
provisions have also contained
clause asking for Averages at the
increased rate, and although its
justice is apparent, it has neverthe-
less retarded their progress.

The death of John B. Cough is
an irreparable loss to the cause
which he espoused so ably and earn
estly. His combined abilities as an
orator and actor, placed him without
an equal on the lecture platform,
from which he has addressed, it Is
said, more people than any other
man. Perhaps with the thought OF
remorse for the one. great blot on
his own illustrious career. his last
words were, "Young man make
your record clear"

WE take pleasure in calling the
attention of our readers to the large
advertisement and press notices of T.
H. Jackson's Common Sense Lini-
ment. The remedy has been man
ufactured and sold for several years,
and where it is best known it is con
sidered frst-class article. In this
line MIR. Jackson has met with re-
markable success, which he has at,
tanned by a common sense, liberal use
of printers ink. Had he not done
so his great remedy which has been
of so much benefit to both man and
beast would in all probability have
evaporated on the musty shelves Of
retiring drug store.

Contracted Feet.

Contracted feet are not cause, but an
effect OF disease, generally speaking due to
diminished activity, and to sweeny of struc-
ture within the horny box. Contraction,
especially at the heel, is sometimes produced
by the removal of Horn from the Heels and
sole during the operation of shooting, SO the
more cutting away at the heel, by the black
smith, Is only helping on the contraction.
The first thing to be done is to find out the
CAUSE OF the contraction, and secondly, re-
move the cause.
FIRST CAUsE.-Pounding of the Frog on
the hard roads, producing fever in 1t and the
heels, drying up the moisture in the SHE'LL
causing q contraction of the quarters.
TREATMENT TO REMOVE THE CoNTRAC-
rIoN-Bathe the Cords and Muscles of The
Legs from the Shoulder to the HOof, to relax
the same and produce q healthy circulation :;
and thoroughly saturate the hollow between
the fetlock and the heel, and the crown OF the
foot above the hoof, with
JACKSON'S NEW THEORY LINIMENT.
which will penetrate the cavities of the shell
and create moisture and life In the foot. A
few days after the application, pare the guar
ters of the hoof, beveling outward, and not
cutting the Frog, so as to remove the pres
sure of the quarter on the Frog.

The Weaver bill for the reappor-
tionment Of the judicial districts Of
the state does not contain any pro-
vision for Harrison county. The
proposed Fifth district is comprised
of Shelby Crawford, Carroll
Audubon, Green, Guthrie, and
Dallas, while the Sixth only con-
tains Polk and Warren. With the
superior court at. Dcs Moines,l the
addition of Dallas to the Sixth dis
trlct would not prove burdenso me,
and this would permit the annexa,
ton of Harrison county to this the
Fifth district.

AT this the eleventh hour but
little interest is manifested in the
municipal election which occurs
next Monday. Several worthy
possible candidates have been men
toned for the mayors Office. THE
REPUBLICAN has no candidate,
and is only anxious for the nomina-
ton of one whose election will re-
dound to the credit of the party.
Harmony of action will insure Re
publican victory, and personal pref
erences should be sacrificed in the
interest of common good. To this
end we would recommend that a
caucus Of all Republicans be held at
the Town Hall, Saturday evening,
February 18TH, for the purpose Of
placing in nomination candidates for
the various offices.

A Valuable Endorsement.

The Winterset MadisoniaU has
the following strong endorsement OF
Jackson, the Common Sense Lini-
ment man. who is attracting so much
attention in Atlantic among people
in horses:
T. II. Jackson, the Common sense
Linimcnt man has come ard gone,
and it is safe to say. he has lett Il
favorable impression among our
people here. His stay covered a
period Of about four weeks and he
has become one of the familiar
sights on our streets. He made
many friends both tor himsely and
his liniment. On the street there
were many people prejudIced
against MS medicine, but he was go
ing to stay long enough to demon
strate to cv9ry one its superior
qualities, and in this he was very
successful. Most of our prominent
horseman have tried the liniment
with good results, and are now loud
in its praise. We do not think there
wan ever introduced here anything
equalcd it as penetrator, and its
curative powers unquestionably Of
the highest merit. We are glad he
met success in introducing it here
as he is one of those liberal, fail
minded men who merit success
He made J. Hinshaw his agent
who will carry stock of both linl
ment and powders, where all can b'
supplied at the regular price. He
goes from here to Indianola, where
he will also remain several weeks
and we have sno hesitancy in rec
ommcnding him to the people o
our sister city and neighborins
county.

that way, but circumstances changed it,
Republicans were challenged TO endorse

fused to do 1t. Tho Issue was clearly pre-.
scnted to them, and thOy met it with an
adverse verdict. Their answer is decisive,
