Those who never read the advertisements
in their newspaper miss more than they
presume. Jonathan kenison OF Bolan,
Worth Co., Iowa, who had been troubled
with rheumatism in his back. arms and
shoulders read an item in his paper about
how "A prominent German citizen OF Fort
Madison had been cured. He procured the
same medicine, and to use his own words:
at cured me right up" He also says: "a
neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed
with rheumatism. Their boy was over to
my house and said they were so bad he had
to do the cooking. | told him OF Chamber
lain's Pain Balm and how it had cured me,
he got a bottle and it cured them up in a
week. 50-cent bottles-fo sale by all drug

The Des Moines silver convention
resulted in something of n disappoint-
ment. When people read thatspeeches
were made by Ignatius Donnelly, Jas.
b. Weaver and other Populist cranks
and ~visionaires the conclusion was
quickly drawn that the Populists had
captured the convention and had taken
advantage OF the occasion to air their
own peculiar and idiotic views. The
cause of silver will never be advanced
by these people and their advocacy of
the white metal will do more harm
than good in sections of the country
| where strong friends are needed. Mon
tana sent Il delegation of good level
headed men to Des Moines, but they
we're obliged to listen to much that
they could not indorse, and came home
feeling that they had fallen into the
hands eff the Philistines. The country
is full of bimetallists and the cause Of
silver is rapidly growing, but care
should be taken 10 the future that these
gatherings are not used as the means
of advancing the political ambition o.
some rejected back number like lg
natius Donnelly or j.. b. Weaver.

Possibly some may think the penalty
is too severe for killing or stealing
stock, and that a sentence to the state
prison, however short. for appropriate
ing a calf is straining justice. But we
believe the law j. all right and that it
wa designed to prevent, more than
anything, this class Of offenses. The
value of an animal may be but a tritie
but If the laws were lax there would
be no security whatever for ranchmen
and stockmen in an open range coun-
try like ours. Even as it is there is no
question but there are some parties
who are getting n start in cattle raising
by appropriating and branding the
property of another. In IL sparcely
settled country there is great oppor-
tunity to kill or drive off stock without
detection and if examples are not made
of those who are caught in the act then
there will be no security to the stock
raising industry. 1t is certainly bad
enough to suffer the ravages Of wolves !
and coyotes under a poor bounty law
without confronting human agents of
destruction. Teton county has just Sc
