deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have bilious look
if your stomach be disordered, you have
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys be
affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will surely
have good looks. Electric Bitters" is

kidneys. Purifies the blood, cures
pimples, blotches and boils, and gives a

RITZVILLE, JUNE 8, 1898.
ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.

The call for primaries, which has
been made by the central committee
of the peoples party, reminds us that
it is the time of year when such things
happen and we conceive it to be our
duty to the people to remind them
that as the calls are made for the
different party primaries it is their
duty as citizens to attend at the pri-
maries where they belong, and take
part in the selection of the delegates,
for out of these delegates the county
officers will be selected. II none other
than good competent men are in the
conventions, of such will be the tickets.
The primary is where the response
bility begins and the most unasum-
ing citizen in the most sparsely settled
precinct in the county is under that
responsibility just the same as anyone
else. His single vote at the primary
might determine whether the people
have the opportunity to vote for a
clean man or corruptionist, COM
petent man or II bungler. If all the
voters would make up their minds
that these things would be attended
to in the primaries there would be
little chance for bungling in the con-
yentiOnS No one who STAYS AWAY
from the primaries should blame their
party for what they call "poor nomi-
nations"
No nation, state or county ever suf-
fered SO much by having the wrong
party in power as by having the wrong
men.

A man made bet with a shopkeeper
that he couldn't spend all he made a

soon found it impossible, for the SIM

the more he made, and after strenu-

THE CHINESE THISTLE,

Ritzville, June 1898.
Mr.. Editor:
Observing the very much increased
prevalence of the noxious weed, known
as the Chinese thistle, in our fields,
our gardens, public roads, as we'll as
in your village streets, alleys, and
back yards. I am prompted, by sell
preservation, as well as a sense of duty
to my neighbors, to call the attention
of the public to the fact that the
county is being overrun by that nox-
ious weed and that unless united and
persistent efforts are at once instituted
to prevent its farther spread, curtail
it's growth, and if possible exterminate
it; it will ultimately possess the coun,
try to such an extent as to make the
raising of grain Improbable if not
impossible in this county.
The writer has heretofore been of
the opinion that he could keep them
under subsection on his own premises
but he now gives it up; being con-
WINGED by the following fact: On the
4th instant he summer-fallowed two
acres of potato land, upon which he
had potatoes last year, and on which
he is very sure there were no Chinese
thistles or other noxious weeds per-
mitted to grow, that he knows of,
within forty rods of the potato patch,
he having went into his neighbor's
summer-fallow field and killed all that
he saw nearby; and yet, before he put
the pillow into that two acres on the
4th current he believes that there
could not be less than thousand
Chinese thistles, not in punches, but
about equally distributed all over the
land, averaging one or more to the
square yard. l also find them all
over and through my grain field. and
l fear that harvest will develop the
fact that we will have bigger crops of
thistles, than we have any idea of at
present. Now neighbors, what do
you think about this? Do you not
think that there should be some eff
fort made to head these thistles off?
In looking up the law bearing upon
the destruction of noxious weeds,
find that section of the road law,
approved March 7, 1898, reads as
follows:
"The road supervisor must take
charge of all the public roads in his
district, and keep them clear from OBJ
structions, and in good repair, and to
destroy or cause to be destroyed, at
least once year, all Canada, Chinese
and Bull thistles, or other noxious
weeds, growing or being on any of the
roads in his district"
Respectfully submitted in the inter-
ests of the community by
Yours truly,
d. BUCHANAN.
