Because of the fact that the republic
can members of the board of county
commissioners have made an order in
structing the county clerk to call for
bids on county printing the Kiowa Re
view has apologized to Lutte Axllne and
Hugh Rankin. and adds that it is our
turn next. The INDEX does not under
stand that it owes Rankin and Axllne
an apology. Our first reason is that
Axline is not now and has never been
a member of the board of county com.
missioners, and If we had ever said
anything unfair of the commissioners
we could not consistently apologize to
Mr.. Axline therefor. In the second
place we have never ventured an opin-
ion as to what disposition Messrs.
Rankin aid Nay, the republican men,
bers of the board, would make of the
county printing. All that we did say
is that no former republican board
since 1882 has awarded the county
printing to the lowest bidder, but most
Popullst boards have. The republican
board of 1898 has not yet made record
and so far is unaccuSod.

G. G. Fair, OF Sharon, exhibited a
trio of fine White Plymouth Rock poul-
try on the streets of the city on Saturday
The White Plymouth Rock is a new
breed of chickens and 1t is as popular
as 1T is new. Mr.. Fair has been grading
up his stock for the past several years
until now he has complete flock of
thoroughbreds. For SIZE and beauty
We have never seen their equal and we
doubt if anything superior IS in exist
ence. Mr.. Fair says he handles this
breed of chickens exclusively and last
year could not fill all orders for eggs for
Matching. This year he is better sup
piled with hens and thinks he can meet
the demand. He impol ted two fine cock
erels this spring and his pens are now
mated. All who desire strictly high
class poultry should secure eggs from
Mr.. Fair.

III health is a luxury that only %-
the rich can afford, and that no one can en-
Joy. Every woman is not so situated that
she can be an interesting invalid, or rather,
an uninteresting invalid, for there never
was an interesting one.
The woman who suffers from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine o.
gans is certain to become an invalid. No
woman can suffer in this way and be a
healthy, happy, amiable wife and compe-
tent mother Troubles of this nature sap
the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines
OF suffering upon the face, destroy the tenn
per, make the once bright eyes dull and
the once active brain sluggish, and trans
form a vfvacious woman into a weak, sickly
invalid
The one sure, speedy, permanent cure
for all disorders of the distinctly feminine
nature is DR.. Pierce's Pavorite Prescription.
II acts directly on the delicate and import
ant organs concerned and makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. II
cures the internal liberation and infamria-
ton that give rise TO a facilitating drain on
the system. II is the best medicine for
overworked, n-down women.
About six wears ago my wife became afflicted
with female weakness" writes the Rev. l. ].

in which she did not suffer great pain She

bottles Of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription aud
