THE NATURAL WAY
To Cure Inflammation.

Inflammation is tho sustaining Gle
mcnt OF the great majority OF our ply
steal ills; alluy this inflammation. and
the pain ceases, the flesh, muscles and
tcndOns resume their normal condition
and tie violence OF the attack IL at an
end.
II follows, then, that the first step In
successful assault upon disease Is tc
destroy any existing Inflammation, and
with II the pain. This accomplished
the patient IL ut cRsc.
This Ia the natural mode OF procedure
and kindly Nature has furnished the
means TO that end In certain roots, barks
and herbs which, In their due proper
ton. arc constituent parts OF Lightning
Hot Drops, the greatest pain panncel
ever known to medical science.
Freely applied TO cut. bruisc burn
scald. or flesh wound OF any nature
Lightning Hot Drops will absolutely
kill the pain, prevent all Inflammation
and quickly heal the lncerntcd flesh. As
IN instance. what IS more painful or dis
tressIng than a mashed finger. with the
nail torn loose? In such case. Light
ming Hot Drops gives complete and i'm
mediate case from pain. 1t will smart
and burn for few minutes when first
applied 10 fresh cuts. sores, etc, but n
few applications VIII take all the sore
ness out and heal The cut or sore. The
soc size contains 2IG times as much as
the 25c size. Lightning Hot Drops Is
prepared by Herb Medicine Co, Spring
field, O., and no honest druggist Will
offer you anything else.

At least two bubbles in the shape OF
regulations were effectually pricked by
the defeat of Bryan. and IN saying this
we pass over Bryan himself and refer IT,
two politico-economlc characters named
respectively Henry George and Moreton
Frewen. the first being known as a spec
ialIst in the matter of taxation. espec-
tally OF the so-callcd "single tax" theory.
and the other as an English writer on
blmetall!sm.
Mr.. George made himscls Very COM
mon indeed as partisan traveller for
IIcarst's paper In New York. and no paid
penny-a-IIner In :he canvass exceeded
him as mislcader OF public opinion.
He started out most prctentiously In the
campaign as Il sort OF DIoSencs with n
lantern. to diagnose the exact situation
in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana. Illinois,
Wisconsin and Iowa, and give the peo-
pic the truth as to the trend Of public
sentiment In those statez. and the lkcl!-
hood OF their vote at the polls.
In no single instance did the result
anywhere tally with Georges prcdIc-
tions. He missed It completely every
where. And TO cruwn his stupidity with
n top shcaf OF folly. he came back
and made like tour OF New York state
and sent back the same continual assur-
ance to Hcarst's deluled readers that the
Empire state was safe for Bryan. 50
ridiculous did he make himself both as n
tIiagnoser and n mnon-zitruck HIlverltc
that his most prominent ginEle-tax d.
Bciplcs have since the election repudlutsd
any responsibility for or sympathy with
his position in the campaign. They real
tie that he has given the single tax hob
by very black eye Indeed In the public
estimation. So incapable man Is not

He Is just AZ likely to be wrong on "sIn-
Elo tax" aS on sixteen to one" and Just
as likely TO be- prcIuhIccd and untruth-

clearly has been MS to the latter.

Special Correspondence.
CAIRO, W. Va, Nov. l3.-The coun-
ty commissioners have completed au-
dltlng the election returns and have
given out the official vote OF this coun-
ty. The result Ia most gratifying to
Richie Republicans. as 1t Is the most
pronounced victory they have ever won.
In 1892 they had but the small ma
jority OF one hundred over the COM
bned Democratic and Popullstic vote,
and this year they come up with 2,2l2
votes for Mckinley and 1000 for Bry-
an. majority OF ST.
For governor, Atkinson received 2,cc2
votes and Watts 1888. a majority OF
500 for the Wheeling man.
Congressman Warren Miller received
2.2lg votes 10 1906 for Walter Pendle-
ton.
The entire county ticket was elected
by big major!t!es. D. 3. Patton was
elected sheriff by 44S majority. W. Il.
Meservlc for county clerk, received GIL
majority. John II. Lininger. capable
official, was reelected circuit clerk by
$50 majority.
Homer B. Woods. n popular young
lawyer received a majority OF 6S for
prosecuting attorney. The two last
named candidates receiving the highest
major!tIes on the ticket c. L. Zlnn
was elected TO the legislature.
The Republicans OF Ritch& have good
reason, therefore, TO be proud over the
handsome vote given Mckinley and
Atkinson as we'll as the entire ticket.

racy and POpocracy combined this year

The commissioner OF immigration re-
ports that 343.267 immigrants arrived In
this country during the past fiscal year.
He thinks that about as many left the
country. Puttings the two items to-
gether he is OF the opinion that there Is
no apprecIable increase OF population
from the immigrant class, This Is by
far TOO optimistic.
Those who left the country took some
thing with them which they had got In
the sharp competition with those who
are here to stay. Those who came
brought with them very little and have
come 10 maintain the sharp competition
with our own waSe-earners. And they
come n time when there IS not enough
work at good wages for our own labor
Ing people. who have the first claim and
are entitled to the first chance.
No matter how immigration may fall
off, and no matter how rea3surInE the
problem may be made to appear, It Is n
fact that we do not need the hundreds OF
thousands who come 20 the country
every year. Moreover their coming
presses hard upon the livelihood Of those
who are already here.
Require that every one Of them shall
read and write, and make them pay well
to come in. The foundation of the lIv-
Ing OF our people Is being cut away!
