The record Harvey G. Clark has
made as a campaigner is simply
phenomenal. He has been in the
campaign for more than two months,
has travelled something over 5000
miles and has made los speeches. As
the campaign draws to a close he
becomes stronger and moro active.
His speeches are strong and eloquent,
replete with logic, and we are told
by parties who have heard him a
number of times, that like the illus
trious Bryan he has no set speeches
and does not repeat. His efforts
have been for the whole ticket He
has said nothing about self, but has
struck telling blows for the cause OF
free silver. Everywhere he has gone
the people are enthusiastic for him.
Being a Bates county boy, to the
manor born, we are all pround to do
him honor, and we predict that he
will not only be elected by an over
whelming majority, but the future
holds bright promises, and the peo
pie will ever remember and be CRATE
full for the brilliant and tireless
campaign made for their cause by
their able and fearless champion.

The voter must scratch out in it's
entirety every ticket except the one
he wishes to vote. Then If be desires
to vote for a candidate on any other
ticket he must mark out the name of
the candidate for that office on his
own ticket and write in the name be
wishes to vote for. For instance:
If a republican wants to vote his
own ticket, hut wants to vote for
DeArmond. He must mark out all
the tickets but the one headed IRE
publican Then he will mark out
Hamiiton's name and under it write
D. A. DeArmond. Or if he wishes
to vote for Bryan, he must erase all
the electors on his own ticket, one
at a time, and write in the seventeen
Bryan electors found on the demo
cratic ticket. The same constitution
al amendments are printed on each
ticket. If you want to vote yes,
scratch out the full proposition with
No attached. If you want to vote
No, scratch out the proposition with
Yes attached.

may mean Chauncey l. Filley for I.
S. Senator. Life is uncertain. and
should one OF our senators die after
the next session OF the Legislature,
there would be nearly two years in

ing our Legislature is over whelming

next legislature adjourns next April
no power can call it together except
the governor, and should there be
vacancy. Mr. Lewis would deem II a
high duty to thwart the will OF the
people by refusing to call an extra
session, and would Immediately ap
point a gold standard man to fill the
vacancy, and this vacancy might oc
cur in time for him to get his gold
standard man there by Dec. 1st
1897, the time for the meeting of
the session of congress at which the

whole life is open to investigation,

dishonorable act he ever committed.

not any man. His friends will fight

they are not numbered alone among
his party associates. His neighbors,
populists and republicans alike, tes-

honesty. He spent two years in
Whatcom county, Washington, as a
contractor. New Whatcom, tho
county seat, city of 1000, was
strongly republican, but he came
within hve votes of being elected
councilman on the democratic ticket.
running far ahead of his ticket.
Since his nomination for sheriff he
received a Istter of congratulations
and best wishes from Hon. Alex.
ander Eanwike, who is the nominee
on the republican ticket for Auditor,
who referred to his honest career in
that county and the number of
strong friends he had there. He is
strong, brave, honorable and Ell.
clent. In the whole confines OF
Bates county no better man could
be selected for sheriff. and he il
worthy the vote Of every honest man.

A GREAT REMEDY
For Sufferers From Piles,

DR.. Redmond, a specialist In the
study and treatment of Piles and rectal
diseases, recently stated that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure the new discovery for
the cure of piles, was the most remark
able remedy he had ever seen or tried
in one respect; and that was, the in
slant relief experienced in all cases, NO
matter how severe, from the moment
the remedy was applied; this was the
more surprising to him, because he had
carefully analysed the preparation and
no trace of opium, cocaine or similar
poison could be detected
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it Is
rapidly taking the place Of surgical
operations and because 1t is so simple,
so easily applied and contains no min
eral or other poisons so commonly used
in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Py-
ramid Pile Cure not only cures the
various forms Of Piles, but never fails
to give immediate relief on the first ap-
p1ication, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important adj
vantage is the fact that any one can
use the remedy without detention from
business or interference with daily oc-
cupation. Sold by druggists at so cents
per package.

not see their way clear to granting any
differential. On the question of per-
centages the estimates of what should
be allowed the 500 line were so far
apart that it was seen that no agree
ment could be reached and the meet
ing came to an end. 1t was decided
however, that the Chjcago-St. Paul
lines should, in the near future, hold
meeting of their own and see If they
cannot devise a schedule of straight
rates that will be satisfactory to the
500. This meeting will be held in the
course of the next fortnight.
The meeting of the advisory COM
mittee of the emigrant clearing house,
regarding the high rates OF commits
sions paid by the Southern Pacific road
was to have been held today, but has
been adjourned until tomorrow TO
await the arrival of General Passenger
Agent LomaX, of the Union Pacific, who
could not arrive in time to attend the
meeting today.
The presidents of the Western roads
are, still working in a half-hearted way
on the successor to the Western Freight
association, but there is a chance that
no result will be reached in the near
future. Strong opposition to the plan
proposed and in fact to all of the plans
proposed has come from some road or
other and there seem to be as many
opinions as there are roads inter-
ested in the matter. 1t is likely that
big meeting Of the presidents will
be called in short time and a more
decided effort made to arrange mat
tiers than has been made this time.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Oct. 2.-Judge
Jenkins, in the United States court to-
DAY, directed the receivers of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company to
sell stocks and bonds pledged as COL
lateral with the Farmers Loan e. Trust
Co, amounting to $50, 167, 500. to the
Northern Pacific Railway company, the
new corporation, for $10,275. 900. The
securities were deposited as collateral
Tor the collateral trust indenture notes
In May, 1893. and at the time were
looked upon as the cream of the paper
held by the old Northern Pacific com
pany.
The bonds and stocks ordered sold
include consolidated bonds Of the
Northern Pacific Co. to the amount of
$780, 900; Chicago & Northern Pacific
hrst mortgage bonds, $2,055, 900; Chicago
q Calumet Terminal Railway first
mortgage bonds, 81, 200, 600, and st. PAM

Oc0; Northern Pacific Express Co q
stock $242.500 and Chicago & Northern
racine beneficial stock certificates
amounting to SIS, ole, 000
Under the terms of the collateral
trust indenture, 1T was stipulated that
the consolidated bonds should not be
sold for less than 80 per cent of their
par value: the bonds of the Chicago
q Northern Pacific for not less than 95
per cent. and the terminal bonds for
not less than SIS per cent. The purchase
price offered is the amount of the notes
outstanding and secured by the h /lds.
The new company owns $9,943, 900 of
the notes. One note for 81, 900 is held
by an unknown party and the balance
is held in trust by the Mercantile
Trust Co.. of New York, but the new
company has made arrangements to
purchase these holdings. The sale,
therefore, amounts virtually to q sur

curities. The Northern Pacific railway
