Vim. Graham Dies at Cripple Creek.

kilograms have been receivedin Lew
istown announcing the death of win
Graham in an accident which occurred
at Cripple Creek, Colorado, ON Monday
last. but giving no further particulars.
One Of the kilograms was addressed to
Edmund Wright, secretary of the X. r.
lodge. and asked what disposition
should be made of Graham's remains.
The officers OF the lodge wired back re-
questing that Graham be buried at
Cripple Creek at the expense of the
lodge here and presumably these direc-
tions will be followed. Graham was
one of the best known of any of the for
mer residents of Fergus county and had
been considered one of the fixtures of
Gilt Edge until about one year ago
when he went TO Colorado in the hope
Of lettering his fortunes. For many
years he was one of the most active and
enterprising citizens of the gold camp
and was formerly the partner of DR..
Tillotson in a drug business which
they carried on in that place. He pre-
ceded Samuel Hurvitch as postmaster
of Gilt Edge and had hosts of friends
in all parts of Fergus county. The
further particulars of his death will be
published as o as they are received.

BIG MAJORITY FOR M'KlsIEY.
Poll Of States by New York Herald Shows
Republican cain Over IS96.

Washington, Oct. THE New
York Herald publishes poll of states
showing: Mckinley. 25S votes, Bry-
an, lG>; doubtful, 81. The doubtful
states are Indiana, Montana and
Idaho, with thelndications that they
are more likely to go for Mckinley
than for Bryan. The states which
voted for Bryan four years ago and
are given AZ sure TO go for Mckinley
are South Dakota, Kansas and Wy
oming. The states which voted for
Mckinley four years ago and are
placed in the Bryan column this year
are Kentucky and Maryland. The
Herald says that the poll IL made
after a most careful Investigation by
Its correspondents in every part OF
the country. Nothing but n great
%upheaval, OF which there is no sign,
could change the result, according to
its view.
Oswold Ottendurfer, OF the New
York Stats Zeitung, has declared
against Bryan. He Is the most pot
ent German influence In the country,
and will probably preventa any whole
sale defections OF Germans from the
Republican party.

State Auditor P~OindeNter hasin his
possession more than 800 unclaimed
wolf bounty warrants, aggregating
something over $4,000. The claims
are for animals killed prior to the
passage of the last wolf bounty law
authorizing the auditor to take up
outstanding bounty claims, and for
the most part are dated previous to
1893. Mr.. Poindexter will endeavor
to ascertain the whereabouts of all
claimants and asks those who filed
applications previous to 1893 who
have received no return from the
state and who have changed their
place VI abode, to send theiraddresses
to the secretary Of statea and they will
receive the money due them.
As soon as the tax collections for
the year have all been madethe audi
tor will take up and pay $4,000 on
all claims still outstanding. For the
months OF July, August and Septem-
Der new claims were filed with the
state amounting to Sli,Gll. War

tons made during this period within
n few days.
During the year the state has cared
for all the current claims, aggregat-
ing close to Sl0U.0OO. On the old ac-
count the state has had n surplus
during the year to the credit OF this
fund sufficient to make n payment of
80, 900 ON the old account, leaving
S1j,0o0 in pldclaims that will be taken
up and cancelled early in December.

date for the democratic nomination

local county committee feels particu-
larly fortunate in having secured him
fer an address.
A close student of national and
state politics and public affairs, and
also an eloquent talker, Mr.. Sells is
heard wherever he appears on the
platform with interest and profit, and
he is assured of large and represen-
tative audience in Rock Island.

DAINTY FOOD"
Turns Pale Cheeks to Pink

Our best physicians of the present
day seek to cure patients by the use
of food, rather than heavy drugs. and
this is The true method. for all physi-
clans agree that only from food can
the body be rebuilt.
Many people fail to give their physi-
clans credit. for after living on poorly
selected or badly cooked food for a
long time, perhaps, and when their
ailments become chronic, they expect
the doctor, with some magic potency,
to instantly rebuild them.
This is not possible. The only
true method is to turn as quickly as
can be from poor food to good. A
young lady, Miss Alice Hendricks,
employed az the corner of Fourth and
Race streets, Cincinnati, Ohio, says:
II was variously treated for my
nerves, muscles, lungs. ETC., but

from the pains.
