tors and All Other Med

Having been a sufferer for two years and a half
from a disease caused by a bruise on the leg and hav-
ing been cured by the CUTIcURA REMEDIES when all
other methods and remedies failed. / deem it my
duty to recommend them. l visited Hot Springs to
no avail, and tried several doctors without success.
and at last our principal druggist, Mr.. John p.
Finlay Ito whom l shall ever feel ~grateful, spoke to
me about CUTICURA. and 1 consented to give them a
trial with the result that / am perfectly cured. There
is now no sore about me. j think / can show the
largest surface where my suffering sprang from of
any one in the State. The CUTIcURA REMEDIES are
the best blood and skin cures manufactured. / refer

you consider the matter in this light, you read
lily see where the question of real friendship to
the soldiers it to be decided. Not in the lndi-
annapolis pension agency. with its formidable CD
array OF figures, nor in the Commissioners Office,
but in the legislation that makes it possible for
a man to get a pension. There. in Congress,
where the laws are passed which give men pen
sions, irrespective Of the will of mere figure

The Republicans perfected the system of
pensions, did they noil' he was asked.
The pension system. from the filing of the
declaration down TO the cashing of check, when
the claim is allowed. is one that was organized
and perfected under Republican administration.
The machinery for the pension business is one
of the most perfect in the government To the
Republicans is due the credit for oil this. When
the Democrats came into Office they found all
this as il is, and thousands upon thousands of
claims awaiting disposition. most of which were
already complete. and only needed taking up
and examining to see II all the evidence was in,
or at least enough 70 support the claim. Ot
course it took years to get all these cases
to the point whore they could be passed
upon rapidly. Evidence Was scattered. and often
hard to collect, aud many a pensioner was COM
PEELED to wait a long time before he could find
his officers and his army surgeon to establish his
case according TO law. When the Democrats
took the government, there were thousands OF
cases of this kind that had after months and
years been completed. Then. in the last few
years of Republican administration, there were
many new cases flied, of persons whose claims
were und1ubted. easily proved and quickly ad-

EDITOR INDEX: Allow me space In
your valuable paper for few line con-
corning our Sumner and Harper county
neighbors who make a business every
summer of driving their helds of cattle
here into our canyons, as they are
pleased TO call our grazing grounds, eat
ing up the grass that our cattle would
subsist on during the winter. These
men do not own nor DO they lease one
foot of land, and as they come in after
March 1st, they claim they are not sub
ject to taxation, and it appears that
their view of the matter is taken by the
assessors. After they have eaten our
grass, the cattle will be driven back to
their farming country" as the owners
call Is, and if we fail to raise a crop,
we can 60 over there and pay their own
prices for their stalk fields and rough
ness or do without. Again, if our cat
tie happen to get in their stalk fields or
even their dead grass, and they are cor
rallied, we can have the privilege of
paying the damages, for we have violat-
ed their stock law. Several hundred
head of cattle from counties east of
Barber are being held in this vicinity
now, and for one, 1 say it Is not right
and that something should be done to
put a stop to this one-sided arrange
ment. S.B.H.

gates selected to the state convention

c. Dark. The convention was presided
over by Oscar Haberline, of Hazelton,
while w. C.. Charles, of the Kiowa

set, were secretaries. There was
spirited contest at the beginning of the
convention between the friends of L. A.
McNeal and Chester L. Long, candi-
dates for senator; but it becoming evil
dent that McNeal had a majority of the
delegates, Mr.. Longs friends gracefully
submitted and allowed McNeal's dele
gates to go to Coldv'ater. Mr.. McNeal
made speech, thanking his friends for
their nntiring work in his behalf and
re-pledging them his devotion to the
republican party. Mr.. Long was called
for and he made nice talk that greatly
pleased the convention. He was pro-
fuse in the compliments paid his oppon-
ent, Mr.. McNeal, and counselled har-
mony in the party and hoped that Mr..
McNeal would receive the nomination
at Coldwater and that he would be elect
ed in November. Mr.. Long was COM
plimented on his manly course aid the
convention would have willingly be-
slowed any honor upon when he closed
his speech.
