price of the things we have to buy.
You will see the fise to be extremely
rapid now that the people by their
ballots sanctioned the administra-
tion that has seen the formation of
over 2C0 trusts.
Item one. In Chicago last Satur-
day the prices of all meat products
increased one cent per pound. Please
note that there is no increase in the
price paid to farmers.
Item two. Heavy increase in steel
billets. This will effect everything
into which steel barbed-wire,

The republicans are claiming that
they lost the county because of the
fact that the fusion forces had such a
large slush fund and SO much whiskey.
That strikes us as the joke of the sea-
son as it is we'll understood that the
shoe was on the other foot. 1t is tru-
ly wonderful the amount of these COM
mOdities that can be used legitimately
in an election and still never appear
in the reports of the various commit
tees. We doubt if the reports of any
committee or candidate will show the
expenditure of dollar for anything
but Iegitim ate purposes.

lines of usefulness an achievement
possible to An organization of wom-
en-, loyal to- each other amin ated by
desire to make better the place in

tremely practical, which is a needful
quality today where there is SO much
TO do. Her report of what women
over the state and in Kansas City
have done in the way of phllanthropie
municipal and school work wa, very
encouraging. OfcOurse in order TO
do all these good things we must have
progressive women. Mrs. Prentice
gave a talk to the boys of the schools
and also the girls, urging them to
form boys club and also girls

When things are ''the best" they be-
come the best selling.'' Abraham
Hare, a leading druggist of Belleville,

best selling bitters 1 have handled in
twenty years. You know why? Most
diseases begin in disorders of stom-
ach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and
nerves. Electric Bitters tone up the
stomach, regulates liver. kidneys and
bowels, blood and nerves. Electric
b1tters tone up the stomach, regu-
lates liver, kidneys and bowels, puri.
fies the blood, strengthens the nerves.
hence cures multitude of maladies. 1t

Before election we were assured by
our republican friends that nothing
but the hope of Brayan' election
kept the Philippine army in the field,
so we expected to hear of the immedi-
ate surrender of all >armed bands in
the islands as soon as Mckinley s
election was announced. Imagine our
surprise to learn that the war still
goes on. that the result of the election
did not create a ripple over there, and
to learn from official sources that it is
expected that the war will continue
for some years aud chat congress will
be asked TO again increase the stand
ing army.

Honesty Should Prevail.

Now that the election is over il
seems just and proper to offer a lutte
criticism looking to the protection OF
the purity OF the ballot We have in
this state one of the best of election
laws and if the officers do their duty
honestly. which they are sworn TO do.
we can get reasonably correct exss'
preston of the unbiased will of the
people.
Our judges and clerks of election
are hardly careful enough in the mat
ter of allowing the counting of mark
ed ballots. as in cases where names
are written in with the manifest pur-
pose of identifying ballot.
Another feature is the frequent at
tempt TO browbeat Judges for the pur-
pose OF forcing them to accept or re-
Ject the ballot OF some person desir.
ing to vote.
The most fagrant case we have
heard OF this year comes from Mari
on county where two Judges held that
~ voter who had made a filino ON
land in the territory could not vote in
that county. Complaint was sworn to
before a Justice. warrant issued,
placed In the hands of the sheriff, the
judges arrested and forcibly removed
from their official chairs. Two other
Judges were appointed in violation of
the law providing that the Different
political parties shall be represented
on the board and the voting was re-
sumed.
These matters should be dealt with
vigorously and honestly regardless
OF party or popular elections will
soon become farce. These wronps
are not confined to any party and
should be dealt with by the people
and in the interests of the people.

1t is reported that an effort will be
made in the pext session of the aiegis-

to give Mr.. Beeziey "a judicial .ap-
pointment. This would carry Il sala-
ry of $4,000 per Year. and hold until
the next general election following
the enactment of the law creating the
district. Tee judges in the west part
of the state are said to be badly over

is being expressed as to what Mr..
Bryan will do. The papers report
that he has been offered several lucra-

Last Friday night the little city of
Stafford was almost wiped off the map
by the most destructive fire that has
visited any of our western cities for
many years. The west side of the
main street was cleaned up for about
a block in the business part of the
city. The loss is estimated at from
500, 900 to $3.50, 600.

What is the matter with the job of
marshal for this city? We are now

after short term, or it is so disa-
greeable that no one cares to keep it
after they get onto the situation.

steel will be advanced in price to the
farmer. He pays the freight.
