Personally Conducted Tours to California
in Pullman Tourist Sleeping Cars,

mencing Monday, October 23rd, and
on every Monday following, one of
these new Pullman Tourist Sleeping
Cars will leave Riceville at 1905 p. M,
via The Chicago Great Western for Los
Angeles and Southern California via
Kansas City, and reaching Los Ang-
eles the following Friday morning,
thus avoiding all Sunday travel. These
tours are personally conducted by an
Inexperienced railway official, who ac-
companies the train to its destination.
The cars are well equipped for long
journey and are as comfortable as the
Pullman Sleepers, while the price is
only 5000 for double berth, less than
half the prices in the Standard Sleep

The figures upon an increased valu-
alton shows an increased levy of IS
per cent. for the saa.le purposes of the
levy under Boies.
Remember that during the admins
trations of Governor Boies, there were
no plundefers Of the state treasury
Through census compi,ers who drew
pay for doing nothing, the principal
part OF which went to the Secretary of
State, no printers and binders steals,
charging for work, double the price of
good work and giving an inferior
quality both in binding and in paper
stock. No public officers under Boies
were allowed to quarter their families
on the state at extravagant salaries
they performing not a particle of
labor to earn the salary paid, the
fathers kindly drawing the money for
them.
Remembering these things you can
study these figures understandingly
and when you compare your tax
receipt for taxes paid during the term
Of Boies, for state purposes and for
the times of Shaw you will readily
understand that the difference repre-
sents the pilferings done by your
trusted public servants.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
1y failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incllrable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Keep the Facts Before the People.

The salaries of all our state officers
are fixed by law, neither the number
of officers of the state or their salaries
have been increased since before Mr..
Larrabee's first term as Governor, nor
has there been any extraordinary
expenses growing out of public build
ingS for the state of late years. 1t
will be recalled that Gov. Boies at
three successive times recommended
a Board of Control for the manage
ment of the assylums, the prisons. the
reform schools, the soldiers and
the orphans homes. He urged that
the state would get better service at
less cost. The legislature refused to
grant him what he asked, but has
since created a Board of Control
which, after deducting its own cost,
has annually saved the state more
than 100000.
Keeping the foregoing facts con-
stantly in mind, examine carefully
the following figures showing the tax
levy for state purposes from the last
term of Governor Larrabee to the
present time.

Keep Fowls Confined.

In previous articles we have CIV
en- reasons why we thought it most
profitable for the farmer, and all
other poultry keepers, to have their
fowls confined to yards instead OF
running at large. Now we will
give one reason why it is better for
the consumer of eggs and poultry
that they should do so. 1t IS the
same which we once heard a man
give for wanting his hens let out in
stead of remaining confined in the
yard: when the hens are let out
they pick up lots of feed, and eat
Just what suits them best
Now, in the matter of choosing
her food, the hen has neither Wis
dom nor good Judgment. She will
eat anything that is fit to eat and
manSsthings that arenot. Nothing
is too filthy nor too disagreeaGle In
flavor for her. She seems to lack
the senses Of taste. and smell. Not
having tried them, we will not say
that the ordinary bugs and. worms
butterflies and grubs are not as
Agood favored and wholesome as
beefsteak. but she would as readily
eahmeat in the last stages OF decay
an6rtake her water from the drain
age of the barnyard or cesspool as
vrom the purest brook
= we always had some sympathy
with the young lady from the city,
Of whom it was said that she de-
c1ined chicken at the dinner table
because she had been watching
them at work in the barry ard, and
she preferred a piece of tripe IN
stead.
Whatever may be the cause, and
we think it is this lack of discrlm-
ination in feeding and drinking, we
know that the egg of the hen or the
flesh of the chicken that has an un-
limited range on the farm has a
