Liver diseases are caused by over eat

DR.. NJ. Mellin, of Grand Rapids.
Wisconsin, can cure rheumatism.
That is a settled fact as hundreds
Of his patients will testify. To
accommodate his increasing prac-
tice he has established himself at
the Central House, Grand Rapids,
where he has furnished rooms in
readiness to accommodate those
who wish 10 be treated. Just stop
and think OF it, rheumatism to be
cured. The statements of few of
his patients are before you, and
their testimony cannot be disputed
The doctor does not claim to be
a wizard, but he does claim he can
cure this disease, which has
baffled the skill of all the promi-
nent physicians of this country.
His discovery is known only to
himself, and is worth untold wealth
to the suffering millions through
out the country.

SHERIFF DEPUTIES.

Reader you will notice that the
Democratic Sheriff Vincent in two
years 1895 and 1894 drew from
the county treasury fees amount
ing to S64I7.o2 and his deputies
SIS65. 50 during the same time, in
all S2So,52. John Lindahl, the
present sheriff, of whom our

an eNhorbitant amount only
So, 7o4.56 and his deputies s46I.2I
making a total of S5,165.77.
Suppose Lindahl and his
deputies have bills to the same
amount for 1896 the amount for
his term will then be s6,s3I.54
while Vincent's fees alone came to
S6,4I7.o2.

CORD.

The Superior Inland Ocean
would like to see Ed Coe chair
man of the Republican state
central committee. The singular
feature of this is the fact that Mr..
Coe is not violently disliked by
Gov. Upham.-Milwaukee Journal.
1t was only in case that the
committee goes outside of its own
membership to find a chairman,
that this paper Endorsed Mr.. Coe,
who has been mentioned for that
responsible and honorable position
by several leading Republican
papers. Whether Mr.. Coe is
opposed to the denomination of
the governor or not, does not cut
the least figure in our estimation
of his fitness for the Craftsmanship.
The chairman, as we understand
it, is selected to represent party
and not any one of the several
factions into which the party may
be unfortunately divided at one
time or another. No honorable
man, like Editor Gee, would per-
NIT himself to become a tool of any
person or faction in such posi-
ton Of trust as the chairman of a
state central committee.

SHERIFF. G.LLS.

The sum Of S2,393.o6 was
allowed Sheriff Lindahl at the last
session Of the county board for
fees as sheriff. Think of it!
81, 393 90 for fees in ten months.
And this does not include fees
received from individuals, but only
charges against the county. And
yet their is a stiffness perVadlng
the editorial sanctum of the Re
porter office that is really painful.
Not word has been said about
exorbitant sheriff's bills for over a
year; but the bills, we believe, are
larger than ever before.-Centralia

Neighbor as usual your imagi-
nation leads you way off. For
the purpose of giving you true
light we will append Sheriff
Vincent and his deputies bills

Potatoes for ali Kinds Of Stock.

Owing to a large crop and very
low prices, many of our farmers
are asking about the feeding value
Of potatoes, and how to feed them,
etc. In a former article | said in
reply to question, that it would
pay to feed all small and unstable
potatoes but we would not advise
feeding heavily of accent potatoes.
Prof VOL finds that potatoes
contain a feeding value of about 7
cents per bushel as compared with
other feeds at current prices; but
for hogs during the fattening period
they are probably worth more
than that Some writer's place
four pounds of potatoes as equal
to one pound of meal; others say
six pounds to one Of meal. Pota-
toes contain 78.0 water, I6.I car
bonaceous matter, and IA protein.
This shows them to be pretty rich
as fat formers. With this fact in
view, think many farmers make
mistake in mixing corn meal
with them. A hog that is being
fattened wants a certain amount of
protein food to keep up its strength
as we'll as to produce a good
quality of meat. We often see
young hogs that cannot stand up.
Some attribute that to being too
fine boned. That is not the
trouble at all; it is what they have
been fed. An all cora diet, or
corn and potatoes, contains but
little in either of what goes to
make bone and muscle. The
sooner a great many Of our farm
ers come to understand that good
and profitable feeding of any ami
NAL and for any purpose, means
proper proportions of fas formers
and flesh formers in the ration, tie
sooner will they realize greater
profit. Feed oat meal, pea meal
and wheat shorts with the potatoes.
Such feed will make pork fast and
keep the hogs healthy. l have
never fed potatoes to hogs any
other way than cooked. Boiling
water poured on them and covered
tightly will soften them sufficiently
to make a mush. Grind the oats
and peas fine and mix until quite
thick. With this kind of feed and
young, thrifty, pure-bred shoats,
can make at the rate of ten pounds
of pig, or fifteen pounds of dressed
pork, from bushel of corn, |
mean, Of course, the price of a
bushel of corn; for instance, if
had but one bushel of corn and
desired to make the most pork
from it possible, l would sell forty
five pounds of the corn and with
the money buy few potatoes,

ham. The Inland Ocean has
never intimated that it is for or
against his denomination, but has
contended that his record as chief
executive and not his personality
should have the greatest weight in
influencing the decision of the
next convention The success of
the Republican party in this state
next fall is by far of greater I'M
portance than the success of any
man to gain honors Or a renewal
Of honors. We do not want to
see our party led by a hating,
limping candidate and that is why
we ask that Gov. Upham's official
record be thoroughly sounded by
his party before he is again chosen
to lead it. He has record and it
is either a good, a bad, Or an
indifferent one. Which? Let the
Republican papers which have
thus early espoused his cause for a
denomination answer it. No doubt
they have excellent reasons for
their position and, if SO, they
should speedily acquaint the public
Of them. We are not opposed to
Gov. Upham personally; we may
be opposed to his official record
and, certainly, shall be, if we
think that it will be inimical to the
success of the Republican ticket
next fall. If the position of this
paper is not a sound one, we would
like 70 know the reason why and,
if convinced that we are wrong, a
quick change will be made for the
r1ght.-Inland Ocean.
The sensible position taken by
the Superior Inland Ocean is
creditable and should be taken by
all Republican newspaper men
who have the party interests at
heart. Those who are in favor Of
Governor Upham's denomination
ought to have some good public
reasons for doing so. If his
administration has been one in
which the party can feel proud,
there should be reasons cited for
his denomination, other than the
precedent of two terms, usually
given to a good official. We are
opposed to his denomination and
will give our reasons for taking
this position as soon as we are
positive that he is a candidate
The honorable thing for Governor
Upham to do, both for himself and
his party, is to refuse to be candi-
date, under the present divided
opinion Of the party towards him.
If he should be rcnominated there
might be a possibility that he
would be defeated and thereby the
party. If he refuses to be a
candidate the coast is clear and
the party united. "Honesty of
purpose is poor excuse for
ineficiency of performance"

POSITIVE MEN FOR DELEGATES.
We do not believe it wise to
instruct delegates nor to select
those who are strongly committed
in any direction. We are of the
further opinion that it will be a
wise policy to select as delegates,
men who are not ofice-holders.-
Wisconsin State Journal.

to-iump fellows should be chosen
as delegates. 1t is as we'll known
as anything can be known in
politics that Wisconsin Republi-
cans are overwhelmingly for
Mckinley. That being true, the
Mckinley sentiment should be
represented by every delegate.
That being true every man who
goes to the St. Louis convention
to cast a vote should be a staunch
Mckinley man, a worker for his
nomination, a voter for him. Then
we can depend upon the sentiment
Of the party being represented.
Send no delegates to the conven-
ton to misrepresent the sentiment
of the party, or men who go there
for revenge or from a selfish
motive; no more nonentities who
roost on a high limb, like buzzards,
watch the roll-call for a cue, and
look only for the loaded wagon.
There is not a Republican in the
state SO dense in his ignorance
that he does not know that he
would misrepresent his party were
he to vote against Mckinley in the
St. Louis convention. The man
who would do that is dishonest-a
betrayer Of his party. If, by
chance, through unfair scheming,
an anti-McKinley man is chosen a
delegate, and the convention finds
it out before adjournment, button
him up with a resolution of
instructions. Such is the only
condition under which instructions
should be given.
If the sentiment for Reed,
Morton, Allison or any other
candidates was as overwhelming
as it is for Mckinley, this paper
would be found advocating a
similar course in his behalf. The
safety of the Republican party
depends upon its keeping close to
the people-in paying heed to the
masses, the rank and file of the
party. The masses, the honest,
patriotic rank and file of the Re-
publican party, want Mckinley
for the candidate. The Nation
needs him for President. If he is
not nominated it will be because of
un-Republican combinations of
self-constituted leaders to prevent
the masses of the party, the
millions of voters, from accomp-
fishing the desire of their hearts.
Gentlemen, fellow Republicans,
that is dangerous business; that is
playing with fire; that is paving
the way for the Democratic party
to creep back into power, and that
is something to be dreaded almost
as much as war or pestilence.-

SENATOR FAULKNER.
Says the Democrats Have Fight on
Hand That Calls for Hard Work.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Chairman
Faulkner of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee returned yesterday
from a five days sojourn at his home
in West Virginia. He said to-day to a
reporter: Everything is all right in
West Virginia. The silver sentiment at
present sweeping over my State reminds
me of a prairie fire. 1t is simply re-
sistless. Furthermore, it seems to be
going straight on to the East, but in spite
Of it's present spread we must remember
that when we are antagonizing the
great money power and corporate in
terests of the country, we have a fight
on our hands that calls for united forces
and determined work to the close of the
campaign.
"Of my own State I am pretty conf
dent, however, and my confidence is
based on a number of good reasons.
Take, for instance, Berkeley County,
which has always been a sound money
county before, but now the State and
even the county candidates must stand
fatty on the Chicago platform. or there
is no show for their nomination. Last
Saturday week at a mass meeting con-
vention at Roanoke the Democrats
polled / $50 votes, or 100 more than they
ever polled at an election in that county.
This certainly indicates that the party
is aroused and united as never before,
and Walter Pendleton, our candidate
for Congress from the Fourth District,
tells me that he needs no assistance
whatever, as the other counties are of
the same mind, and his election is as
sured."
AT a conference this morning between
Senator Stewart and Mr.. Faulkner, it
was decided that while the two COM
mittees would work in harmony, they
would not be merged for the reason that
the Silver committee would best know
the needs of their own party. 1t is
thought George p. Kenney of California,
who has been long connected with the

sented him with bust of himself made
by Hans Hirsch, member of the club.
In accepting it Major Mckinley said
1T was a good omen to find the young
gentlemen from many colleges joining

tain Republican principles and the ma
tional honor, and there is no class of
men more potent than those who go
out of colleges into every part of the
