A WORD TO

Needing the demand of taxpayers OF
this county the Republicans in their
recent convention placed in nomina-
ton three competent and honorable
men for members of the board OF
county commissioners. 1t is the duty
of taxpayers, or at least Republicans,
to see hat they are elected. That the
gentlemen named will be the targets
for malignant abuse now seems appar.
ent, but it should have no weight with
any good citizen in this county. The
chief object of attack will be Mr.. Bower,
than whom a more honorable, upright
and prudent business man does reside
in Fergus county. He did not seek
this Office and only consented to take
the nomination at the earnest solicita.
ton of taxpayers from various parts OF
the county. If elected he will be COM
PEELED to travel a great distance to
reach the county seat and will serve
with great detriment to his W per.
sonal interests. He will not button
hole men to secure his election, and
taxpayers should beware of a man who
is too active for an Office of this char
acter. No better men could be found
in the county than those placed in
nomination by the Republican conven-
ton, and if taxpayers make a mistake
in the coming election they should
forever after hold their peace as regards
the management of county affairs
This is a matter which touches the
pockets of a large majority of Il citi
zens, regardless of party, and it is i'm
portant that no mistake is made OF

they pull an affidavit see whether it is
a responsible man who makes it, OF
one unworthy of belief. 1t requires
no affidavits to make a successful cam.

is too well known; and it is not such as
to inspire his friends with any consid'
cradle degree of confidence.

Pure Blood

Ii absolutely necessary In order to have ref.
feet health. Hoods S~arsaparilla Is the great
blood purifier, quickly conquering s~crofula,
salt rheum, and all other insidious enemies
which attack the blood and undermine Tine

cures dyspepsia and sick headache, and
overcomes that tired feeling.
Scrofula Sores.
"My adopted boy, aged IA years, suffered
terribly from scrofula sores on his leg,
which spread till they at one time formed
one great sore from the calf OF his leg UP to
his thigh, partially covered with scab, and
discharging matter continually. The muscles
became contracted so that his leg was drawn
upsand he could hardly walk. We tried
everything We could hear Of. without success
until we began giving him Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. In just a month, after he had taken
two-thirds Of a bottle, the sores entirely
healed, his leg is perfectly straight and he
Can Walk as Well as Ever.
Hoods ~Sarsaparilla is the best medicine I
ever saw for scrofulous humor. 1t has lone
its work more than satisfactorily" WILLIAM

statements of the Nichols crowd
claiming that there is . surplus Of
5000, GOO in the State Treasury.
The fact Is given by the Audi tor is
that there is some accumulation Of
State cash on hand, but it Is due
to the fact that outstanding war
rants and interest coupons have not
been taken up. II these charges
against the State were paid the al
legged surplus would soon be dis.
sipated.
