There is more catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease

constantly falling to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment

A startling incident of which MIR.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
"I was IN q most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en-, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite-gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortu-
nately, friend advised trying Electric
Bitters, and to my great joy and sur
prise, the first bottle made decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they saved my life, and
robbed the grave of another victim. :"

Last election We produced the sta
tistics to show that under the Australi
an ballot system four per cent Of the
voters were disfranchised by errors in
marking tho ballots From the most
reliable statistics we can get fifteen per
cent of the voters of this county were
disfranchised in the recent election by
the abominable system called the
Australian ballot In Sanborn county
1,151 persons voted, yet the highest
number for any, state Office was
87s, and for any county Office
was 1,O13. Over 10 per cent Of the
voters are thus disfranchised. The law
should be amended by striking out
everything in the act except the provis-
ion for the booth in which all voters
should be compelled to enter before
voting. Every man should have the
right to make up his ballot by his own
fireside and when deposited in the box
no power should be conferred on any
election board to throw it out. -Woon-

The people of this state will not let the

has majority, and on the face Of the
returns he has over 300, no crooked
work will be tolerated. Respectable

The Populists Of this state have reason
to feel proud of the fact the people will
have direct legislation, as the amend-
ment proposing the initiative and rof-
erendum has carried by good major
ity. This has been one Of the cardinal
principles of the Populist party plat
form since the organization Of the par
ty, and shows that the people are get

their laws for them. The other prin-

acted into laws if the people continue

in his home county. The false and ma

We don't expect to see the state go
scooting to eternal destruction because
Andy Lee is elected governor, but he is
in position to cheek any measure
passed by Republican legislature by
vetoing it, and there are enough Pops
in the legislature to prevent the passage
Of any measure over his veto. So that
he is in . position to rule the roost
pretty completely. It was great mis-
fortune that Lee was elected. Redfield

The Republicans are trying to tell US
that they got all they wanted out of
the state election this year. But such
is not the case by long way. They
made their greatest and dirtiest fight
against Governor Lee and there are
some Republicans who would have
been willing to sacrifice the remainder
Of the state ticket to have elected Phil
lips. They cant control the state with

DIPLOMATIC VIEWS.

Proposed Peace Negotiations Dis
cussed From Various standpoints.
WASHINGTON, July 27-In diplo-
matte quarters SPANS peace proposal.
through the French ambassador is the
absorbing topic, and the answer of the
president Is awaited with keen inter-
est. The diplomats showed their in
terest early today by calling at the
state department and at the French
embassy to learn with more exactness
the details Of Spaih's proposal. This
developed several features of the prom
osition which had not been entirely
clear before
In the first place, no foreign govern
ment outside of France has been con-
suited by Spain in this overture for
peace, and the present movement Is
not shared directly or Indirectly by
Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia or
Great Britain. 1t can now be stated.
however, that the formal proposition
submitted yesterday has been undar
consideration at Madrid for five days
previous to yesterday, during which
time the British as we'll as the French
authorities were cognizant of the fact
that Spain was about to sue for peace.
This being settled, it appears that a
good-natured but keen rivalry sprany
up between Sir DrummonG Wolff, the
British ambassador at Madrid, and M.
Patenotre, the French ambassador
there, as to which government should
nave the honor of initiating the move
ment designed to restore the peace Of
the world. Owing to the cordiality ex-
listing between the governments Of
Great Britain and the United States,
it was felt at first that Sir Drummond
Wolff would be commissioned to ap-
proach the United States. acting at
Washington through Sir Julian
Pauncefote. But Spain appears to have
preferred the INTERPRETATION of the
French government, and, as a result.
the negotiations finally We're entrusted
to the French ambassador at Wash
ington.
Another essential point is the exact
proposition made by Spait.. There has
been some misapprehens;c;i over this,
owing to the publication o.lar alleged
text of the proposition, and other re-
ports asserting that Spain asked Mir.
Mckinley to state terms So peace AS
a matter Of fact. the Spanish PROPOSE
ton does not mention the word
TERMS" and there is nc request or
suggestion in it that the president shall
state terms of peace. The distinct in
curry made by Spain is as to whether
the United States will open negotia-
tons toward the settlement OF the war
and the arrangement of peace. Neither
does the Spanish proposition contain
any reference to "armistice" At the
same time, it is framed ON the idea
