Weigh the matter honestly and

THE COUNTY TICKET

The UNION heard a prominent
republican state the other day that
the fusion ticket named by the
silver forces Of Pennington County
was the strongest ticket, taken as
a whole, ever placed in the field by
any party in this county.
Now wherein is it's strength?
Its strength lies in the record
these nominees nave made while
serving tn: people Of this county in
official positions. Under repub-
lean rule the future Of the county
grew darker each day. Its debt
grew larger every hour and the bur
len Of the taxpayer grew heavier.
nj fact so heavy that it became I'M
bearable to some. Many we're
driven from the confines of the
county and left their lite all be
cause their income was insufficient
to meet the enormous taxation
brought about by republican
thievery and extravaganza. The
county debt crawied up, up until
il reached the tremendous sum of
over a quarter IF a million d~ol,ars!
The county's affairs were so ex-
travagantly carried on under re
publican rule that it's running ex
panses aggregated over 100000
per year! Its warrants went down
70 As cents on the dollar-a bonan-
"a tor bankers and money l%oaners,
but a discouraging burden to the
taxpayers and those who had SET
tied in our midst. with a view to

first time since the organization of the county, have so man.
aged affairs as to stop the growth of that debt? Shall we
re elect the officials who have conducted their their offices so
ably as to place them even above republican criticism? These
men ask reelection. Shall they be reelected? These
ARE the questions to be considered by the voters of Pennington
county before casting their ballots next Tuesday. Weigh
them well. Consider them thoroughly. Vote intel1i-
gently. Cast a vote that is an honor and credit to your
self as an American. Do your full duty. Shall the men
who have made this record be reelected? Meet the ques-
lies with you and The UNION leaves it in your hauds as a
voter.
Or on the other hand, shall the county government be
turned over to the representatives of a party which was for
years, weighed in the balance and found wanting;'' the party
which deprecated Pennington county warrants until they
were worth but SOC on the dollar; the party which wrecked the
county's credit; the party which railroaded so many steals
through atd robbed the Taxpayers; the party which, by it's
rank extravaganza piled abe burden into the taxpayers until it
becane unbearable; the party which by it's action in this
county said 1.-THE people be damned" the republican party!
This party is lavish in it's promises of what it will do in
case it's candidates are elected. The candidates on the silver
ticket refer the people to WHAT THEY HAVE REA
DONE. The question is not whether the county's affairs
shall remain in the hands of the silver parties. It is
whether the nen who saved the county from bankruptcy and
rescued its credit from ruin shall be retained in of6ce-that is
the question.
Let every voter in Pennington county vote his honest con-
vctions freely and without interference. Let him vote for
his own interests and the interests of the county aud state in
which he lives, but The UNION is the honest and candid in
the statement that THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTY
N 1T CANNOT SERVE THEIR OWN INTER-
ESTS BY H REPUBLICAN TICKET.

shall be retained. That is the
question plainly put.

COMMON SENSE CURE
PYRAMID PILE CURE CURES PILES
PERMANENTLY BY CURING
THE CAUSE.
Remarkable Remedy Which Is Bring.
ing Comfort to Thousands
of sufferers.

Probably half the people who see this ar
ticle suffer from piles. 1t is one of the COM
monest diseases and one of the most obsti-
nate. People have it for years, and just
because ii is not Immediately fatal, they
neglect it. Care1essness causes no end of
suffering. Carelessness about so simple a
thing as piles has often caused death. Hem
orrhages occur during surgical treatment,
often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even in
the worst stages without pain or loss of
blood, quickly, surely and completely. There
is only one remedy that will do it--Pyramid
Pile Cure.
1t allays the Inflammation Immediately,
heals the irritated surface, and, with con-
tinued treatment, reduces the swelling and
puts the membranes into good, sound,
healthy condition. The cure is thorough
and permanent.

tinonial we have lately received:

ferer from the pain and annoyance of piles

BAD WIRES LAST NIGHT
FOG, RAIN, SNOW, sLEET AND WIND
CAUSED GREAT DELAY.
indianapolis In the Center of storms
of Various Kinds and Degrees-Bad
weather All Around.

The telegraph operators who manned the
eAssgciated. Press news wires and the West
erh' Union and Postal companies CONNER
cial lines had much to contend against last
night. Fog, rain, snow, sleet and wind
combined to make what telegraphers call
bad wires" In this territory and the West
fog and rain rendered the wires practically
useless at times, owing to the electricity
being carried off by the moisture. In the
South windstorms played havoc with the
wires and in the North, especially in the
lake region, snow and sleet weakened the
electric current. In fact, it was a bad night
fer all operators between the Allegheny
and Rocky mountains. The Associated
Press men, whose guessing powers must
always be at their best in wet weather,
thought they were faring pretty well when
they caught half a sentence last night.
Sometimes the wires would be dead for a
few minutes, then word or two would
be licked off, then another wait, and the
operator would guess the rest.
BY 1880 D. M the through circuits of the
Associated Press, extending from New
York and Washington west to st. Louis
and Chicago, were cut at various places,
and the matter relayed. First, Cleveland
peBdl IeidylHS loT NHlcdSO, lhSn NlhSlA-
natl cut the circuit again and relayed for
all points; south and west. At o'clock
Cleveland reported all wires down along the
lake shore and around Chicago. AT 10:S0,
while an exciting cablegram from Paris was
being received, the elements and wires
seemed to part4ke of the spirit of the
French House of Deputies and, in the
midst of Il general mix-up between Cincin-
natl, Louisville and indianapolis, the OPP
orator, like Captain Dreyfus, was rele-
gated to isolation and silence.

Queer Antics of the Local Barometer
Yesterday.

The downpour of rain yesterday has added
some strength to new crop of scientists
that believe Indianapolis has moved down
into the belt where they have the rainy
and dry seasons But Mr.. Wappenkans
says this is not so, and promises a snow
storm this morning to prove his statement.
But though there was fall of an inch of
water yesterday and the wind blew great
guns, yet there was still another fact that
rescued the day from being commonplace,
metereologically speaking, and that was the
antics played by the barometer. This USE
full instrument performed feat it has rare
ly been known to to do. In fact the man
at the Weather Bureau could not recall an
other instance in which it was done. This
extraordinary performance was the lower
ing of the mercury three-quarters of an
inch in ten hours, and indicated wonder
full decrease in the pressure of the atmos-
phere. While the low barometer continued.
the city was in the center of a big storm
with little wind perceptible. About o'clock
last night the storm centere passed over
and the wind arose to sixty miles an hour.

INDIANAPOLIS Abattoir Co.

Upon entering at either door of the food
show the visitor is confronted with as fine
a display of meats and sausages has
probably ever been made in this country.
1t is the exhibit of the Indianapolis Abat-
toir Company, occupying a space of 10 by 16
feet, and is the first time they have ever
made display, ana, considering the gen.
eral attractiveneSs of their booth, the ar
rangement of the meats, etc, the show can
not be counted as complete without them
hereafter. An appetite is at once aroused by
the tempting display of sausages, of which
fifteen different kinds are represented. also
picked goods, put up in glass jars including
pigs feet. boneless pigs feet, tripe, pig
ears and pig shoots; their ham and bacon
also receive favor able comment The reason
is that it undergoes very mild cure and is
something this firm takes especial pride in
placing before the trade, which they well
can be, the taste is very appealing to the
palate. Their lard, put up in attractive
packages, is pure kettle rendered and white
snow: it is branded Indfanapol Abat-
toir Extra. A unique feature at this booth
is the display of stuffed pigs and heads, hog
stomachs, ingenously taking on the form
of pigs; also, an entire pig dressed and
smoked like a ham, ali to be seen in a glass
ease made purposely for the occasion. While
taking in this rare treat visitors are
handed sandwiches inlaid with. either ham,
Clipped beef, New England cooked ham,
tongue or fine sausages; also, finely en-
graved souvenir cards. 1t is useless to say
that this booth is well patronized.
