DON'T PUT IT OFF.

The necessity of spring medl
cine is universally admitted. This
is the best time of year in which to
purify the blood, to restore the lost
appetite, and to build up the entire
system, as the body is now peculiar
Iy susceptible to benefit from medi-
cine. The great popularity attain
ed by Hoods Sarsaparilla, owing
to its real merit and its remarka-
bic success, has established It as the
very best medicine to take in the
spring. 1t cures scrofula, salt
rheum, and all humors, biliousness
dyspepsia, headache, kidney and
liver complaints, catarrh, and all af
fections caused or promoted low by
state of the system or impure blood.
DON'T put it off, but take Hoods.
Sarsaparilia now. 1t will 10 you

SHAWNEE DEN0CRACX.

The Democracy Of Shawnee county is
hopelessly divided. This was evidenced
at last Saturdays convention There is
a young crowd and an old crowd and the
young crowd had the ascendancy. Such
men as Mike Heery and Buck Miller,
who never lose an opportunity to tell
how the party-all Of it-used to meet in
John Martins office and nominate one
another for the various pla ces to be filed,
were relegated to the rear
1t is always 50 in political parties
When there are loaves and fishes 70 be
divided, the men who have borne the
brunt of the battle and stood in the front
in the party's hour Of need, are sent 10
the rear and the young crowd, usually
the newly converted, takes up the party's
guidance.
True. there is not much to fight over,
only a Federal appointment now and
then. but it j. a cheap way of attracting
attention The people in these times of
strikes and when live public issues are
being discussed might forget there IS a
Democratic party if something were not
done to- remind them Of it. The party
was already divided into the stalwarts
aud the fusionists and now that it has
been sub-divided into the old crowd,
the young crowd and Eugene Hagen
there j. no knowing who're this thing
nd
