NAPOLEON'S VALUE OF VICTORY.
1t Finds a Striking COunterpartin Recent
World Triumphs.

Napoleon knew well the value of a
victory. After AuSterlitz the world
seemed his. Fame invited, fortune
favored, everything stimulated his
aspiring ambition. With growing
power he gathered the fruits of victory.
And SO has it ever been. Success
succeeds. A notable illustration Of
this truth is furnished by the great
victories won at the Worlds fair in
'93 and the California Midwinter fair
in '94 by DR.. Prices Cream Baking
Powder. Ever increasing sales and
popularity have been the result.
The people have promptly ratified the
official verdicts that declared Dr.
Prices for leavening power, keeping
qualities, purity and general excel
lence the foremost baking powder in
all the world" Quite as quickly as
the great emperor do they know the
value of a victory that means world
wide supremacy.

MONDAY, September s, has been de-
signated by Governor Scoheld as La
Dor day and the governor requests
that all corporations employing
men give them a holiday. OF course
the corporations will observe the
wishes OF their great (?) governor and
then when the corporations want the
state militia to protect their property
from these same labOring men the gov
ernor will be only too willing to accede
to their wishes. Thegovernor should
have waited until just before election
to issue his Labor day proclama-
tion.-Waterloo Democrat.
Just listen to the above! It ia
something almost beyond compre-
hension what a lot of trashy stuff
blind partisan, in his anxiety to
make political capital, allows him
self to give expression to at times.
Does the editor of The Democrat
really mean to encourage the willful
destruction Of property, be it that Of
corporation Oh individual, by strik-
ing and rlotous laborlng men? Does
he mean to insinuate that Governor
Scofeld, in endeavoring TO quell such
lawlessness, was guilty of depressing
somebody and should have neglected
his plain duty? Such anarchistic
sentiment as The Democrat utters
makes the average fair-minded per-
son, Of whatever political faith, very
tired. 1t is far from being clean poll.

endeavors to make a point against

holiday is the first Monday in Sep

The Daily Times evidently consid-
ers The Juneau Independent a good

fence, when sides are necessary to be
taken. It's prejudices in that direc-

FROM the stand point of individual
worth the Democrats have made an
excellent nomination for member OF
assembly in this district. Herman
CRUDE is citizen above reproach, a
man Of good business tact and fire
social qualities, a friend and neighbor
enjoying every confidence Of his fell
lows. But on the money question
he is known to belacking, He trains
with those who favor q 4O-cent dol
lar and is evidently in accord with
that heresy. 1t must be remem-
bered that If elected to the assembly
he will have a. voice in selecting a
United States senator, and with this
circumstance in view many of his
friends who might otherwise cheer
fully support him must necessarily
refrain from doing SO.

Four years ago the owners of CAPT
tai. as well as the owners Of the
mills and factory system ofour coun-
try, were waiting for some questions
of public policy to be settled. The
election of Presid mt Mckinley seems
to have accomplished chat purpose.
Sound money, good credit and en-
larged business have turned the
faces Of all those who were waiting,
towards the future. The owner of
the mill and the factory is again
pushing his business, while capital is
everywhere seeking the best possible
investment. The wall of the Popu-
lists and the calamity Democrat
amounts to very little in the face Of
these facts everywhere apparent now.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors- How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsapariila. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
