A prairie fire moves faster than any horse
can run. No matter how speedy vour
mount may be unless you have a good start
of the fire it will overtake you. It is the
same way with many diseases. Unless Won
get a fair start, you cannot possibly shake
them off. The only hope for anyone who
is threatened with serious disease is to
start in time, and seek safety before the
danger closes in about him.
The best thing for you, if you feel that
your full bodily energy is lacking, is to
seek the strengthening, power-producing
help of DR.. PierCe's Golden Medical Dis
covery which confers upon the digestive
organs that keen zest of appetite and as
s1rnllat1on which transforms the food into
nourlshing, health building blood, active
muscular force, nervous energy and rug
ged endurance
Do not wait until dyspepsia spreads into
liver complaint" and that turns into
bronchial trouble which finally verges into
consumption. Do not RELY upon the de1u
s1ve stimulus of malt extracts and sarsapa-
r1llas and oily compounds; do not allow a
designing druggist who seeks only his own
profit rather than your health to foist any
boom medicine upon you. Insist upon
the remedy which is backed by thirty years
of steadily increasing sales to attest its
constant usefulness and popularity.
The experience of Mr.. Val Burkard living at
65 Mohr Ave, Buffalo, N. " is given in his own
words: {" Five weeks ago followed v0ur advice
and took two bottles Of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and also two walls of Pei
lets 1 consider myself entirely cured, as there
have been no eruptions since finished the last
bottle think it is the greatest remedy on the
globe for blood and digestive disorders Mvap-
petite increased wonderfully and I have also
gained flesh. ] would like everybody to know
the true value of DR.. Pierce's medicines as am
confident by persistent use they will cure all
ailments for which they are recommended"

Candidate for Sheriff.

James Mccall, of Ixonia. has an
nounced his candidacy for the Repub-
1can nomination eof sheriff at the
ensuing fall election He is at pres
ent deputy sheriff for his town, and
his experience in this capacity will
serve him well should his party see
lit to promote him. Mr.. Mccall has
an extensive acquaintance through
out the county, and everywhere he is
justly popular. He possesses ster-
ling traits OF character, is afableand
cOngenial with all whom he has occa-
sion to meet, and would no doubt
prove an exceptionally strong candi-
date before the people. He has always
been d staunch Republican and for
years has been depended upon to
guard the party's interests in his
town. He has never been found
wanting, and now that he asks re
COgnltiOn for the first time it would
seem that his claims are worthy OF
due consideration. Ixonla has not
been represented on the county tick
ct for long time, but we hope to see
Mr.. Mccall do honor to his town next
fall by securing the nomination and
election as sheriff of Jefferson county.
We vouch that he would make an
unusually good one

THE following thoughtful gem is
from he pen of John Maggie, Of The
ManitoWoc Pilot "E. G. Wall must
he i.riple of Emperor William of
Germany. Democratic duty, he says,
lis to submit to authority and sur
mount nsubordination. II that
is Democratic duty Democracy con-
dennis George Washington, and
Runnymede is synonym for traitor.
A party organized on any such basis
seeks to perpetuate serfdom. 1t is
fortunate that the opinions of Mr..
Wall are not shared by ajority of
the American people. If they were,
a republican form of government
would he impossible. He pleads for
a despOtism. His utterances are
exactly similar to those of the young
emperor who has assumed that he is
Germany and the people his vassals. 2"

THE WRONG HOUSE.
But a Man in the Same Condition Was
Evidently Expected.

Hut a Man in the Same Condition Was
Evidently Expected.
The member of congress 'front.'
won't say where, says writer in the
Washington Post-is the kindest-
hearted fellow alive. He was going
home very late a few nights ago, he
says, when he met a young man whom
he knows. The young man was hope
lessly drunk. The congressman hap
pened to know where he lived, and
kindly guided him home. A light was
burning in ali upper window of the
house, and the congressman had no
sooner pulled the bell than the door
was flung open and tall and vigor-
Gus woman appeared. She said not a
word but she grabbed the intoxicated
young man by the collar and gave him
in their sockets. Into the hall she
shook him and slammed the door. The
congressman was descending the steps
when the door opened again and his
friend flew out as if flung from cata-
pult. He landed at the foot of the
stairs and the congressman picked him
up. He was very much frightened and
he was almost sober. He managed to
gasp out:
eve don't live here. We've moved
last week"
That's all the congressman's story,
but think the really interesting thing
would be to know what happened to
the man who does live there.

The right spirit seems to exist, from
q judicial point OF view, among the
lawyers of Columbia county. One OF
the ablest of them, the late w. G..
Coles, was elected as Republican
several times to the Office of district
attorney. After his death a petition
for the appointment of w. S. Stroud :,
another able attorney who preceded
Mr.. Coles in the Office number of
years as a Democrat, was generally
signed by the bar of the county, the
result being that Governor Scofeld
complied with the request. The feel
ing in Columbia county evidently is
that "the best is none too good" SO
far as the matter of legal advisers is
concerned. 1t ought to be that way
In other counties.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, rece ptable for the urine
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of the two
ways. The first way isfrom imperfect
action of the kidneys. The second
way is from careless local treatment of
other diseases.
sCHIEF CAUSE.
neys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease Or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder
or urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty -four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, Is soon realized. If
you need remedy you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have
sample bottle and pamphlet, both
sent free by mail. Mention The
WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. The proprietors of this
paper guarantee the genuineness of
this offer.

comprehensive and exact supple
ent to the great encyclopedias and
ctionaries of the country, bringing
,ir wealth of information up to
