used milk from the state farm without pay
ment; that It has been the habit of wardens
TO do this before Mr.. Chase's term and he fell
heir to this vicious custom and continued it;
that it was n small matter and hardly justifies
criticism upon any of these wardens for
such conduct. 1t appears that the board Of
directors met there II times or more year
members, and that they are expected to be
entertained by the warden in their visits. 1t
Is about the only place of entertainment they
would have and the warden is expected as a
matter of courtesy to extend this hospitality
to the board. The legislature has known this
from time to time and has not provided for
the same, and do not think under the cir
cumsrances that Mr.. Chase is deserving of O
criticism upon this conduct.

PLAIN ROBBERY.

EDS. INDEX: There was sold at
sheritfs sale on Saturday, July q, the
following city property to-wit:
A six acre lot in HaZelton finely i'm
proved with very fine house, barn and
other outbuiidings, that cost So 600
about four years ago: also good dwell
ling house and two lots in Kiowa, well
improved, that cost $500 about three
years ago, making in the aggregate, So
500 worth of property bid in by the
creditor for S155 in compliance with a
judgment from a justice court. to salts
fly store bill of SIG and costs OF suit.
1t seems that the justice of the peace
has more power now than he had forty
years ago under the "bogus code.
Under cunningly devised laws the
courts have become machine for grind
ing the homes and other property out of
the hands of the many into the hands
of the few, until organized government
has actually become organized robbery.
The officials. though unwilling they
may be, have become agents of the OPP
pressed and the spoilers Of the homes
and happiness of the people. The peo-
pie don't seem to know how to stop the
machine. The next move will be to
throw the poor old sick man into the
street. think this is only q sample
case of real and personal property be-
ing bid in by the creditor class for less
than one tenth Its value. The way we
are now drifting it Will not be long till
few will own all; for what they dc
not get on mortgages they will get on
tax sales and store bills.
Now under the present hellish sys.
tenn of finance and eombines, merely
put the question to every man that has
family, what hope have you for your
children under the present order oil

The Cresset tries to make big game
out of the fact that some pOpulists, when
the party was organized, favored Tom
McNeal's nomination for judge and in
Inmates that Thomas would not accept.
The fact is, Tom was literally paving
up the earth to get the nomination and
made other moves to break into the
populist party in consideration of a
good fat Office, but the pops ignored
him; then he went to his own dear old
party and finally did get a nomination
but got an emphatic ''slttlng down on'

GIVE US ONE MORE CHANCE,

The above headline is a current news
paper expression as well as a general
entreaty among the old partyites. The
democratic party wants one more
chance to get at the public crib. There
are still few demagogues and trick
sters in that party who have not alb
sorbed enough of the peoples hard
earned dollars to hold them in arIs-
tocratic circles for the balance of their
days, hence the appeal for one more
chance. If there ever was a doubt in
the mind of the thoughtful citizen as
to the honesty of purpose or willing
ness of the democratic party TO enact
such legislation as the masses have
been clamorlng for these many years,
that doubt must have been removed
and buried beyond resurrection by the
action of the party IN the last few
years. With democratic majority in
both houses, backed by a democratic
executive there can be no excuse for
the failure of the party to give the peo-
pie the legislation it promised them in
its platform and for ignoring the
petitions sent them by thousands of
American citizens. But, says a good
disciple of the G. o. p, the democratic
party has always been found lacking
in times of adversely, give US another
chance, we put down the rebellion and
we'll solve the present financial diff
Guilty and social disturbances if the re-
publican partyis returned topower once
more. The average voter should pause
and ask of this wonderful party with
such brilliant war record but equally
rotten subsequent record, wherefore
this lone more chance?" Has not the
party been in power ever since the wal
with the exception of two administra-
tions? Is not the republican party oil
to-day responsible for all material leg.
| islation on the statute books? Did not
the republican majority of the last
congress vote with the democratic
minority? And these two factions
with the aid of the chief executive re-
moved the last vestige of the peoples
money from circulation. On every
material issue the present administra
ton and the republican party are as
one and the enforcement of the republ
can party means a continuation of the
present policy and present conditions
Then why another chance? Both par
ties have shown themselves equally
unworthy of the confidence Of thu
American voters. We need a party
in power composed of men who ar,
not afraid to declare themselves anC
who are willing to act in accordanc,
with their declarations. The resources
of the American people have been con

Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts Of the country in which Cham
berlain's Collie Cholera and Diarrhoea
Kennedy was used with perfect success.
Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost
as severe and dangerous as Asiatic
cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of
the most skilled physicians have failed
to check its ravages, this remedy, how
ever, has cured the most malignant
cases, both of children and adults, and
under the most trying conditions,
which proves it to be the best medicine
IN the world for, bowel complaints.
