Benne Plant cures collie, chol-
era morbus, diarrhoa, dysentery
and bowel complaints. Highly
recommended by leading physi-
clans. There may be other good
remedies but you take no chances
when you use Benne Plant. The
same can be said Of their Anti
Bilious and Worm Powders and
other preparations. They will
do Just what is claimed for them
and these preparations have stood
the test nearly sixty years. For
sale by r. L, Stevenson, Druggist.
The law of health requires
that the bowels move once each
day and one of the penalties for
violating this law is piles. Keep
your bowels regular by taking a
dose of Cham berlain' S Stomach
and Liver Tablets when neCes-
sary and you will never have that
severe punishment inflicted upon
you. Price, IS cents. For sale

A MINISTER'S GOOD WORK.

81 had a severe attack of bill
ious collie, got a bottle of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy, took two doses
and was entirely, cured" " says
Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia,
Kan. "My neighbor across the
street was sick for over a week,
had two or three bottles of medl-
cine from the doctor. He used
them for three or four days with
out relief, then called in another
doctor who treated him for some
days and gave him no relief, so
discharged him. I went over to
see him the next morning. He
said his bowels were in terrible
fix, that they had been running
off so long that it was almost
bloody flux. l asked him if he
had tried Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea remedy,
and he said, No l went home
and brought him my bottle and
gave him one dose; told him to
take another dose in fifteen or
twenty minutes lie he did not find
relief, but he took no more and
was entirely cured" For sale by

SOAP and starch not having
advanced in price, there has been
no increase in the cost of the farm
er's laundry bill. It is true he
can get more money for his steers
than few years ago and for his
flax, if he has any to sell, but be
pays a great deal more for his
groceries, his machinery and the
other things necessary to live and
to run the farm. A reliable farm
er of the county recently told a
friend that it will cost him $500
more to run his farm this year
than 1T would the same farm last
year. The reason is the general
advance in what he has to buy,
mostly due to the increased prices
tackled on by the trusts to the
things a farmer needs, while his
wheat the chief crop, is no higher
than when other things we're
lower.

The democratic party has never
acquired an inch of territory that
it did not sign and seal covenant
with it's inhabitants that they
should have all the rights of
American citizenship and that
their territory should be finally
admitted as states of the Union.
The republican party was the only
party in this country that has
ever proposed to hold vassal
provinces, and the democratic
party wanted no share of the
honor. IF people were not fit
for free institu tons, our free insti-
buttons were not fit for the govern
ment of such people. We could
not afford to become tyrants on
the ground that another people
were not fit to be free.

AFTER protracted period of
dryness, during which the crops
have been put to a severe test, the
welcome showers since last Thurs
day indeed put new life into every
thing growing. For weeks the
prairie had been showing the
need of rain, as grass Was making
no growth, and in some places
seemed to be losing color. Where
old grass had been burned last
year there was getting to be no
feed at all. It was mystery how
grain could hold it's color so we'll
as it did-for everywhere on heavy
land it had fresh healthy look,
though it seemed not to grow a
particle. At present things look
decidedly encouraging for rapid
and steady growth.

The course of the United
States under the present admins
tration has created the impression
abroad that the American people
have outgrown their love for the
just principles Of government
expressed in the Declaration of
Independence and that they are
ready to surrender their moral
leadership among nations in order
to crafty longing for imperial
power. The appr oaching Fourth
of July is the fittest possible time
to destroy this impression and to
reassert with fervor and determin-
alton the principles whose enuncia-
ton on July 4, l776, has made
that day noteworthy in the history
of human liberty. The world at
large will learn from such cele-
bration that the American assault
in thu Philippines on the principle
that government derives its just
powers from the consent of the
governed is not made with popu-
lar approval and that the assist
ance given by the Uuited States
to the British in their work of
destroying the independence of
the South African Republics was
against the wishes Of the Ameri-
can people.

REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.

AND now grow tireseme the
tricks and subtsrfuges of the
Republican managers and their
subsidized organs, to shift the
burden of Mckinley maladminis-
tration upon the shoulders of the
Democratic party. The buncombe
crust" amendment to the con-
stitution offered by the Republi-
cans with SO many pyrotechnics,
deceives nobody, not even Mark
Hanna's valet. Yet the refusal of
the Democrats to be caught in the
trap gives the trust schemers a
grand opportunity to present the
Democrats to the country as the
friends of trusts. There would
have to be transfer of many a
fat bank account before the truth
of that proposition could become q
dogma of faith. The refusal to
permit the Constitution to follow
the flag is bearing fruit in the
gravest generalization the world
ever witnessed. The open and
unpunishable plundering of the
unfortunate Cubans, the gross
bribery, corruption and petty
thieveries in the Philippines cal
ling for protest from that strictest
of censors, General Otis, the
woeful condition of the innocent
and betrayed Porto Ricans are
opening the eyes Of the people to
the malignant and pernicious
development of McKinleyism,
whereat the President is exceed
ingly anxious, and resists in
vestigation, lest it interfere with
his reelection. In the opinion of
many of the brightest lights in the
Republican party, the defeat of the
Philadelphia nominee is regarded
as a foregone conclusion, with
what little has already been made
public, without any future develop
ments. Yet strange to say, while
denouncing Mckinley and his era
of corruption as we'll as his policy
of Imperialism, which they con-
tend will cause the downfall of the
republic, they announce their pur-
pose to vote for Mckinley. If
this can be true, then there is all
the more danger to be feared from
the hypocrisy of Republican
partisanship, and the only remedy
is to accomplish the defeat of such
an un-American spirit by united
effort.
