4 thousand times have we heard peo-

But here is a case OF most terrible head
ache where the head did, in fact. split

opened. Most OF the people here know
about the facts OF this most astonishing
case, and several Of our doctors examined
and treated the patient unsuccessfuliy, and
they will vouch for the truth OF these
wonderful things.
The lady herself. Mrs. Fred. G. Lasher.
Jr.. is wel-known resident here. and
gives all the facts just as they occurred
in her own words:

ed with terrible headaches night and day.

labors of Samuel r. Thurman, would
be to write the legal and political his
tory of Utah county for the past
twenty five years. Mr.. Thurman was
an active and consistent member OF the
old peoples party of Utah, and fought
its battles until nothing was left of the
old issues for which to contest. Mr..
Thurman was among the very first to
organize branch of the Utah democ'
racy of which he has continued to be
one of the ablest and most logical de-
tenders.
During the long period of distress.
when the doors of the penitentiary
were closing around so many members
of the Mormon church, Mr.. Thurman
was a retained attorney for tina defen-
dan!s. Whether as attorney for the
Mormon church or the Federal govern
ment and the territory of Utah, he mas
always preserved proper equilibrium
and discharged the high duties de-
VnlY1ng upon him with conscien tious
regard for the rights and proprieties of
every case and an ability which has
commanded the admira tion of all that
know him: In fact, SO popular is the
gentleman with his political opponents,
that many republicans down in Juab
county pledged their votes TO him, and
agreed if he would go down there and
run for judge of the Fifth district, that
the republicans would put no man in
the field. And We are fully assured
that many members of the republican
party will give Mr.. Thurman their
votes.
In the late constitutional convention,
Mr., Thurman was an active and pow
erful member, having left the imprint
ofbis masterful mind on that document.
On the whole, Mr.. Thurman's ability
to honorably fill the position of Su-
preme judge is unquestioned as also
the fact of his being elected to that
position.
