LA GRIPPE
LEFT HIS THROAT AND
STOMACH IN BAD SHAPE.
Letter of a Prominent Citizen.

A siege of la Grippe year ago left my
stomach and throat in a deplorable con-
dition. Every night I woke from a
sense of suffocation; my throat would
become sore and apparently closing up
to such an extent that the loss of sleep
was greatly impairing my general health.
NY stomach seemed to have lost its di-
gestive power so that the undigested
food set up a ferment which caused
what is commonly termed heartburn. [
was treated long time by those who
claimed to be learned and skillful, but
all this seemed to be of little avail. Be-
ing assured by friend that Septicide
would do what skillful hands had failed
to accomplish, ventured to try it. The
first night after | commenced taking it
I slept splendidly. My stomach trouble
began at once to disappear, and soon
the burning sensation was entirely gone.
have not taken any of the Septicide
for the past five months, and yet the
cure seems to be permanent. We con-
slider it a very valuable family remedy,
for it seems to apply with equal effect to
so many Of the ailments common to
most families. GEORGE w. HoMMEL,

Tuesday morning eight tramps left
this city over the Green Bay railroad.
They have been canvassing the twin
cities the past week with their arms
done up in cloths and telling a pltlable
story. In the mean time they took
the money thus obtained from the
good people and bought beer by
the keg and drank it IN the
woods back of the Green Bay depot.
They had as high as eight kegs of beer
at one time. Money given to the
average tramp is poorly invested.

SOMETHING NEW IN DENTISTRY.

1t is well known fact that but very
few full upper and lower sets of arti-
fetal teeth are in all respects entirely
satisfactory to those who are doomed
to wear them, although the dentist who
made them may be in no wise to blame,
having done all that could be done for
the case by any of the old methods.
Still after days of careful and patient
toll the fact will remain to stare him in
the face, that the plates will not stay in
place. When biting on the front teeth
the upper plate will be dislodged and at
every movement of the lower jaw the
muscles of the face will also dislodge
can testify to the truth of the above
either with great discomfort, or in their
pockets. This is especially true of
lower plates.
By a system lately devised and
patented all of these difficulties can be
entirely overcome and each plate held
firmly in place while eating or speaking
or when holding pipe or cigar between
the teeth, and at the same time occasion
no inconvenience whatever to the
wearer. This is something that the
dental profession has never before been
able to offer, and dare not now guaran-
tee, except by the use of this patented
system. The only place in these twin
cities where the patent plates can be
obtained is at the dental rooms Of A. 3.

of the 400th anniversary of the dis

They will be called the "Columb ian

The issue will be unique and will
be placed on sale at the various

The Postmaster General and the

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF?
A Convincing Letter from Washington
Street Car Driver.

A Convincing Letter from Washington
Street Car Driver.
There is a street car driver in Wash
ton correspondent of the st. Louis Re-
public. He is native of Ireland and has
been in this country about six years. He
is pretty bright fellow, is close reader
of the newspapers and careful observer
of everything that is going on. During
the past year Mike has been paying a
good deal of attention to the tariff ques-
ton, and has been led away by the theo-
ries of the Republicans that protection
was good thing for the poor man.
An incident occurred within the past
week or ten days that has made Mike
somewhat skeptical. He had been told,
by the Republicans of course, and by
Mckinley in particular, that the foreign
ers paid our taxes. Mckinley said so in
his Minneapolis speech and Mike be-
iieved him at the time. About ten days
ago cousin of Mikes arrived in this
country. He brought a present from
Mikes mother to her son, consisting of
twelve pairs of woolen socks which she
herself knitted for him. 1t is safe to
say that the value of the socks was
about twenty cents pair, but when
Mikes cousin arrived at the custom
house he was assessed twenty-five cents
a pair tariff duty on socks. When he
came to Mike he showed him his receipt
from the custom house officers for the
three dollars that he had paid for the
dozen socks, and Mike of course had to
refund the money to him. This set
Mike thinking, and on suggestion of a
friend with whom he conferred he ad-
dressed the following letter to Governor
Mckinley on the subject:
DEAR SIR-1 read your speeches in the house
Of representatives during the Fifty-first con-
gress, when the tariff bill was under discussion,
In which you asserted and made me believe
that the foreigners paid our taxes. also read
your speech presiding officer of the Repub-
iican national convention at Minneapolis in
which you asserted again that the foreigner
paid our taxes. My mother sent me dozen
pairs of socks from Ireland a few days ago,
each pair being worth twenty cents. My
cousin, who brought them to me, had to pay
twenty-five cents pair tariff duties on the
SOCKS at the New York custom house. VIII
you please be kind enough to tell me to what
foreign government l shall apply to have that
three dollars refunded to me? If the foreigner
pays the tax, as you say he does, / am entitled
to get my money back, but do not know just
exactly to what foreign government to apply,
and hope you will be kind enough to inform
m e by return mail MICHAEL DoRAN.
This is a very pretty little object les
son, and should not be lost sight of by
people who are laboring to understand
the tariff question.

Preparations for the election in this
county have been conducted by the COM
missioners in smooth and satisfactory
manner. The booths and ballot boxes
have all been distributed and the COM
missioners were quite happy when the
heavy Juggling and long tramping this
part of the work involved was finally
completed.
The guard rails are made of three
quarter inch gas pipe, with caps by
which the uprights can be screwed to
the floors of the polling rooms and the
cross bars to the walls. The chains for
the entrance and exit through the rails
are also here.
The official ballots must, under the
law, be sent in two separate packages,
one of which reached the judges of dec
ton on Saturday and the other will ar
rive to-day. The two packages are ex-
actl y alike for each district anc are
sealed.
The seal of one will be broken publicly
on the opening of the polls, bit the
other, if both arrive, will remain intact
until the the ballots in the first one are
exhausted and the additional ballots
are needed.
In nearly all the districts the appa-
ratus. will he put in readiness this
evening.
No adequate conception of the vast
amount of work and worry this prepara-
tion and distribution involves can be
had, except from actual contact with it,
and since it is all new work and there is
no precedent for the doing of it constant
watch must be kept to see that no re-
quirement of the law is overlooked.
