YOUR WEAK SPOT.
DO YOU KNOW JUST WHERE IT IS


 "A Fortress is No Stronger Than It's Weakest
 spot"-Neither Is Any Man or Woman.
 "HopelessIy ruined through one weak spot"
 It was a great scientific expert who re- gently expressed this opinion in regard to a costly battleship lately completed for the United, States navy. When the huge vessel was launched and made ready to receive its gigantic cannon, it was found that it could not stand the strain of the added weight The whole ship was in danger of falling to pieces Owing to a weak spot in its construction, the great man-of-war was hopelessly ruined. It was only when the strain came that its weak condition was actually discovered.
 Strange as it may seem, there are thou sands of men and women in exactly the same condition as this great battleship. They have weak spots in their systems which they never suspect. They pay no attention to alarming symptoms of ill., health and seek no remedy. Some day 0 strain comes and they discover too late that they are in no condition to fight with disease. They catch a sudden cold or chill and 1t speedily turns into pneu- monia They suffer from peculiar sensa- tions or pains which eventually turn out , to be the symptoms of Brighfs disease or congestion of the liver.
 Where is the weak spot in your system? The chances are that you have one which badly needs attention. Physicians tell us that in almost every case the weak spot can be found in the liver or kidneys These great organs of the body require constant watching. Our climate, our diet, our habits of living put them to a continual strain, and when they get out of order, the whole system suffers.
 If you are feeling tired, worn out, .txRC in the back and loins, suffer from head aches chilly sensations, biliousness or are losing sleep and flesh, you can make up your mind that your liver and kidneys are in need of treatment. You have a weak spot that must not be trif1ed with.
 There is one cause for these weak spots. There is only one way to cure them. Some thing is needed to act on the liver and kid neys where the weakness exists. You can not cure disease of these great organs with pills or other cheap remedies. Something is required to strike at the root of the ail- ment. There is in fact only one remedy which is guaranteed to cure every form of liver and kidney complaint. That remedy is Warmers Safe Cure which for twenty years has stood the test and earned, as all are aware a worldwide reputation. No other remedy compares with 1t for regu- lating the action of the liver and kidneys driving out disease. building up the sys- tenn and giving fresh fife. Writing upon the subject, Dr. Gum says: "In large class of ailments where the blood is in an unhealthy state, where the general health is bad the face sallow the urine colored, the advantage gained by the use of Warmers Safe Cure is remarkable" Every person has a "weak spot" some portion of the body that needs help. Do you not think it would be well to use that which is certain to help and to cure and to do so without delay?.

ALREADY RUNS OVER 5000
Plurality in the District Estimated at More Than 5000.
COUNTY RETURNS ARE SLOW
All Have Given MT. Underwood Very Good Majorities-De Man agers Gratifed Over Result-Be-
 yond Their Expectations.

The returns which were received yes- terday from the beats throughout Jefferson county, only went to increase Oscar w. Underwood's plurality over J. T. McEn- cry, the republican candidate, and L. L. Schwartz the candidate put out by the ne- gro republicans. Forty-five boxes in all have been heard from. Underwoods vote in these being 3,35O and his plurality 3.00S.
 The most interesting thing around cam paign headquarters yesterday was adding up the total as the returns came in, and seeing exactly how high the plurality would run. As will be seen, Chairman Thatchs prediction of at least 5000 plurality, has more. than been fulfilled. It is needless to say that he and all other members of the campaign committete, to say nothing of MT. Underwood himself, feel highly grat- flied over the result While it has been admitted all along that MT. Underwoods election was a certainty, the committete worked hard to make the democrats turn out and in this they succeeded very well.

He has made an exceedingly satisfactory official

L.C. Parker of Garnet, the second
candidate for the legislature, is well
known throughout the state, and his
record is one to be admired. Having al
ways stood first and last for the welfare of
thecountry. and especially so on the silver
question in his efforts to CON
tribute all in his power to the cause OF
the white metal, no better man for the
position of representative i'll the iegls-
lature could be found anywhere. Mr..
Parker is man of exceptional ability
and largely intere rested in the welfare of
the country His business interests in
silver mining in this county are exten-
siye At Garnet, Mr.. Parker is oper-
ating the International mine, the largest
silver mine in that district, employing
a large force of men, with whom he is a
general favorite. Mr.. Parker is the
original Bryan man of Montana. Being
present when the national conventions
met at Chicago in 1896 he was one OF
the frs men who advocated the name
of w. j. Bryan for president, and being
a personal friend of Col. Bryan he con
tributed no small share toward his
support two years ago. Being thus
closely identified with the silver cause
the people of Granite county will make
no mistake in erecting Col. L. G. Parker.

all is that Of county commissioner. Ihe

ago he worked side by side with our

other of vital importance. This Office
may justly be called the lever that
guides the county. Opportunities for
dishonesty present themselves in this
