The Opinions of Scores Of Our Fellow
Citizens.

Residents of Owosso, like other. Ameri-
can citizens, il making an investment
want TO be sure of getting the worth of
their money. They want to know all the
why's and wherefores, and in direct ra-
ito to the va'ue of the investment they
burrow and ferret until satisfied with the
collateral. Take an instance in the realm
OF proprietary articles. If we know of a
friend who has been cured we have some
faith in the preparation; if we know Of
two or three our faith increases. If the
cures reach scores, all well known citi-
zens, anyone who still maintains that
there-is nothing beyond ordinary merit
in the said preparation can safely be left
to the care of his fellow taxpayers. If he
wishes to pick quarrel with them on the
question of their judgment and veracity
he has ample opportunity in Owosso to
do so. Begin with this case:
Mrs. j. NJ. sPurdy, of sos North Shia-
wassee street, says: "For number Of
years | suffered from rheumatic pains
through my limbs and in my muscles and
from severe soreness and lameness in my
back just over the kidneys. My limbs
became numb, ached, and were much
swollen. Some friends advised me to get
Doan's Kidney Pills at Johnson & Hen
derson's drug store and give them trial.
1 did so and after using them faithfully
short time was relieved and continued
the treatment until the trouble was en-
tirely removed"

the order to the scattered men. IT
was no small thing to ask of the High
landers that they should again face the
CALLING fire for five hours.
"Still a very fair rally was effected.
The pipers played somewhat dolefully,
and the brigade at last got back to
spot where it had a certain amount OF

Detroit. Jan. 10.-With reference to
Democratic state politics The Journal
says: "With six candidates a-field aft

ernor there seems to be no rush for
the Democratic nomination for the

ital which leaders of that party claim
to discern in the perspective as n re-

sure will be brought to bear on Justin
Il. Whiting to induce him to again head
the Democratic state ticket, it is GER
tain that Mr.. Whiting is at the present
date not inclined to. accept renomina-
ton as governor. If he ever does run
again for the office, he would prefer
that it would he an off year, rather
than in presidential year.
Whiting Prefers "A Fight for Congress.
''Just now Mr.. Whiting is supposed
to be figuring on contrasting the cleo
ton for congress with Mr.. Weeks in

for eight years at Washington and any
pressure which may have as its object

ticket VIII, If successful, probably have

on the influence which the scandals are
likely to exert on Democratic prospects.
State Senator j. W. Helme, of Adrian,
has been mentioned as an eligible can
didate in the event that Mr.. Whiting
should decline executive honors, but
Helme seems to prefer a denomination
Tor the legislature to running either for
governor or for congress.

Judge X. III. Person, of Lansing,
with the prestige of the grand jury's

urged as a possibility. However, there

but when they rallied they were shak-
