Lincoln Beacon: The Joints of Lincoln
have been closed at different times for from
three weeks to nine or more months, and it
is absurd to say "cant." Under the first
Elgin administration the joints were driven
out of business from June until the next ad-
ministration came in the next April. Last
Summer Prof. Whitaker shut the joints
bung tight for three weeks and what he did
for three weeks without any official backing

administration can do for an entire year.
Greeley County Republican: We hope
that Governor Stanley will not allow his
better judgment to be influenced by some
over jealous Republicans in the state who
are insisting on the removal of II. s. Lands,
the Populist Warden of the Penitentiary
The Republican is as partisan as it is posi-
bic to be, for we believe our principles are
right, but the spoils of Office are not the
only thing in partisanship or political prin-
ciples. And in our opinion it will be po-
litical blunder if legislative committee is
called to investigate Lands, and Of course
remove him. There may have been some rea-
son for Morrills removal of Warden Chase,
for his administration of the Penitentiary
was like the last POpulist Board of Char
tiles, a disgrace to great institution. But
it is far different with lands. He is an up
right, moral business man, and has made as
good warden as any who has ever held the
position, notwithstanding his rank polit cil
heresies. There have been no scandals dur
ing his term, and he can get as much work
and get along with the men as well as any
one could hope for. In a business way the
has been in every way satisfac
tory, and the only thing to be gained would
be to give our good friend, Joe TOmlinson, of

What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished.
The Prompt Symptoms That Your Blood
Out OF Order
THE Eminent Specialists Free Offer TO All Readers Of The
Advocate and News

For great many years il has been the
custom for sick people to say: "My blood
is out of order. 1t needs purifying / feel
all used up. My skin needs clearing. My
brain feels tired"
They are right but do they act rightH
They generally go and get laxative
(bOwel-cleaner) to purify their blood
Does their blood run through their
bOwelsH
Science has to-day furnished proofs that
all the purifying that your blood needs, in
fact, all that can be done, must be done by
your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the inn
purities in the blood-that is their work
Purifying your blood is not question Of
taking a laxative OF physic
Does your blood run through your bowels
What the bowel cleaner does is to throw
out the poisons confined in your bowels
ready for absorption into your blood, but
the poisons which are already in your bloc |,
causing your present sickness it leaves
there.
There is no other way of purifying your
blood except by means of your kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kidneys,
When you are sick then, no matter what
you think the name of your disease is, thu
first thing you should do is to afford aid to
your kidneys by using DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root the great Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp Root you afford natural
help to nature, for Swamp-Root is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys
that is known to medical science.

Atchison Champion: In Nebraska within
the past eight years, the wife of one SUI

commissioners wife $1,000, and the son of
another commissioner "a smaller amount.

American Cultivator The attempt to
give New York legislature elected every
second year, instead of annually, as at pres
ent, has failed. The State Senate has re-
fused to pass the measure for submitting
the question to popular vote, and it viii
therefore be four years before it can again
be heard from. There is altogether too great
tendency to make elections of State legis-
latures less frequent. Those who advocate
this generally propose some remedy for the
decrease of responsibility by proposing that
all laws passed be submitted to popular
vote. That is tried will prove much
more burdensome than majority of voters
can stand. Instead of one election with
candidates to be voted for, there will be a
number of questions of most of which the
people have little or no knowledge, and they
will not take the trouble to vote. This
has been the trouble in Switzerland, where
the referendum was first tried, and it is
likely to be so everywhere The best rem
edy against bad or unpopular legislation is
to have legislators chosen at short intervals.
They can thus be easily held to close re-

Lane County Journals People who have
to buy barb wire this spring are getting
healthy object lesson as to the blessings to
the people resulting from the formation
of trusts Three months ago barb wire
was selling in Dighton at $2.35 per hun
dred pounds. In January a trust gobbled
up all the leading wire mills and now barb
wire is 1925 per hundred in Dighton and
will be still higher when present supply is
exhausted. But still there are people who
think the government should not attempt
to prevent such robbery by legislation,
and some of them consumers at that.

for the great amount of labor and money
expended in producing it, he would dstrib-

vessel. Such as barrel or large tub. Earth
enware would do, but metal vessels of all
descriptions must be avoided, as they would
be at once attacked by the solution. The
whole potatoes can be placed in a gunny
sack and immersed for the required time,
about an hour and half. After being
taken from the solution they are spread out
to dry and planted in the usual manner.
If the tubers are dirty they should be
washed, or at least freed from adhering soil
before treatment. Scabby seed should not
be used, because it is difficult to reach and
kill all the germs in the cavities Corrosive
sublimate should cost about Is cents an
ounce
In case it is necessary to plant upon
ground infected by scab, it has been rec
commended that the burrows be sprinkled
with the solution in which the tubers were
soaked.
Some investigators suggest sulphur, but
as all have not been equally successful with
this, we do not at present recommend its
use. Professor Halstead, of the New Jersey
Experiment Station, publishes the follow
ing: "After the seed is cut, dust it with
sulhur, and if the planting is done with a
machine it is possible to add the sulphur in
the hopper of the machine. In this way
both the sulphur and its application will
cost but dollar or so per acre" tHalstead,
N. j. Rep. 1895, page 2S2.)
CAUTION.
Corrosive sublimate is poison and should
be kept out of the reach of children and
animals. For the same reason, all the tub
ers treated should be planted. The new
crop of potatoes will be entirely free from
poison.

In Kansas one of the most serious diseases
attacking the potato is the scab, says press
bulletin from the botanical department of
the Kansas Experiment Station. Every
spring this department receives numerous
inquiries as to methods of prevention. To
answer these inquiries the present bulletin
is issued.
Scab is a germ (bacteriaD disease. The
germs attacking the substance of the tuber,
disfguring the surface with rough spots
and cavities. Scab is produced only when
germs of the disease effect lodgment upon
the tubers during the formation. This may
come about from their presence on the tub.
ers used for seed or from their presence in
the soil where scabby potatoes have been
previously grown.
PREVENTION.
If possible use ground in which potatoes
have not been grown, or at least where the
disease has not appeared. Use smooth tub
ers for seed. If the tubers, though smooth,
have been at any time mixed with scabby
potatoes, or if one wishes to be surely on the
safe side, the seed tubers should be treated
with a chemical wash which will destroy
any adhering germs.
For this purpose corrosive sublimate is
probably the best. Mr.. Galloway, of the
Department of Agriculture, says: "For the
treatment of potato scab solution of zorro.
sive sublimate has given the best results.
This should be prepared by dissolving 2A
ounces of corrosive sublimate in about 2
gallons of hot water, and after an interval of
ten or twelve hours diluting with l3 gallons
of water" Farmers Bulletin No. Is,
