THE sHERIFFALITY.

There will be no dearth of Repubi-
can candidates this year for the Office
of sheriff and all the gentlemen thus far
mentioned for the position are worthy
citizens.
For some weeks past it has been rum
ored that Mr.. G. III. Piper, of Garden
City, apd county commissioner from the
Fourth district, would be a candidate,
but until recently there has been moth
ing positively known as to his real posi-
ton. 1t is now, however, authoritative
ly announced that he has finally yield
ed TO the urgent solicitations of his
friends and will make the canvass for
sheriff. Mr.. Piper is one of the most
upright and honorable citizens in the
county. He has resided in Garden City
for number of years, and is one of the
most extensive and successful farmers
i'm the county. He is, and for some
time past has been, president of the
Southern Minnesota Live Stock and
Fair Association, and has filled his posi-
ton with credit to himself and profit to
the society. He is man of the people,
and should he be honored with the
nomination and election 10 the office OF
sheriff, no one will regret the part they
take in accomplishing this end.
As has been previously announced,
Sheriff Monks is candidate for re-nom-
nation. He has made an excellent of
ficer as all well know, and should the
voters of the county determine to re-
tain him for another term, the affairs OF
sheriff will be i'm safe hands.
Ed. Dyer, ESQ.,, of Napoleon, another
royal good fellow, is a candidate, and a
man we'll qualified to fill any Office in
the county.
Then there is Mr.. Hawkins OF
Mcpherson, first-class fellow also well
equipped for the position.
1t is seldom indeed that four such
worthy gentlemen are found pitted
against one another for the same county
office. and it is hoped that the canvass
may be conducted in such a spirit o.
fairness that those who fail in the nomi
nation will gracefully submit to defeat
for it must be borne in mind that bu
one can win.

SHALL WE HAVE AN ARMOR YP

Company F. are prepared to erect an
armory building in this city, provided
suitable ground is donated by the city,
and it is hoped that steps to secure this
will be taken without delay.
Capt. Wasnburn's letter, which we
publish below, is self-explanatory.
To The citizens Of Mankato:
Company F. has never passed to the
public subscription list and does not
desire to do so now. But if the citizens
of Mankato desire to take sufficient in
terest in the National Guard and in this
company to procure for us free lease
of ground for term of not less than
five years that will be acceptable to the
company, we will build an armory, be-
tween now and next November that
will be credit and an ornament to the

Malaria.

Malaria was formerly considered
as lniasm, limited to the exhal-
ations engendered in low lying
lands, the margin OF swamps or riv-
ers' or when new soil had been dug
up and exposed to tho sun. But
modern researches have shown, that
while miasm is more intense in such
localities, it Is by no means confin.
ed to them, and that, as fact, BUT
few and narrow sections Of country
are entirely free from 1t. Cities,
villages, town and country, all have
it in greater or slighter degree. It
was formerly supposed that the only
result OF Malaria was Fever Il Ague.
But 1t is now known not only to pro-
dnce this disease but 4 wide number
Of troublesome symptoms which fall
quite short OF Fever s. Ague or Ma
laria fever. Thousands of people
suffer from Malaria while attributing
their trouble to something quite
different. Its frequent mild form is
shown-by a coated tongue. bad taste,
diminished appetite, constipated
habit, headache or Neuralgia; pains
in the back. joints or limbs; feeling
Of dnllness; drowsiness by day and
undressing sleep at night; want OF
energy, distaste for work; some
times earthly or yellow face and
general feeling OF illness.
All this Is promptly, mildly and
permanently cured by Humphreys
Homeopathic Specifics Cos. Ten
and Sixteen. These invaluable
Specifies soon rid the system Of
every vestage Of the disease.

Ammonia in Baking Powders.


Among the recent discoveries In
science and chemistry. none is more
important than the use to which
common ammonia can be properly
put as leavening agent. and which
indicate that this familiar salt is
hereafter to perform an active part
In the preparation OF our daily food.
The carbonate OF am monia is an
exceedingly volatile substance.
Place a small portion OF it upon Il
knife and hold over a flame, and il
will almost imme diately be entirely
developed into gas and pass off into
the air. The gas thus formed is a
simple composition OF nitrogen and
hydrogen. No residue is left from
the ammonia This gives it its SUI
periority az a leayening power over
soda and cream OF tartar used alone,
and has induced its use as supple
menf to these articles A small
uantity Of ammonia in tn dough >
ffective in produing bread ha will b !.
lighter, sweeter and wholesomer than
that risen by any other leavening
agent. When II is acted upon by
the heat Of baking the lcavcning gas
that raises the dough is liberated
In this act it uses itself up, as II
were; the ammonia is entirely diff
fused. leaving no trace or residnum
whatever. The light. fluffy, fiaky
appearance, go desirable in biscuits,
etc, and so sought after by profess
sional cooks, is said to be impaired
to then. only by the use Of this
agent.
The bakers and baking powder
mannfae tnrers producing the finest
goods have been quick to avail
themselves OF this useful discovery,
and the handsomest and the best
bread and cake are now largely ris-
en- by the aid OF ammonia, combin-
ed OF course with other leavening
material.
Ammonia is one OF the best known
products of the laboratory IF, as
seems to be justly claimed for it. the
application OF its properties to the
purposes Of cooking results in Civ.

bread, biscuit and cake, it will prove
boon to dyspeptic humanity, and
will speedily force itself into general
