Spreads Like WIldfire

When things are "the best" they
become 1.-the best selling" Abraham
Hare, leading druggist of Belleville,
Ohio, writes: Electric Bitters are
the best selling bitters l have handled
in 20 years. You know why? Most
diseases begin in disorders of the
stomach, liver, kidneys. bowels, blood
and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver, kid
neys and bowels, purifies the blood,
and strengthens the nerves. hence
cures multitudes of maladies. 1t
builds up the entire system. Puts
new life and vigor into any weak.
sickly, rundown man or woman.

TO ENFORCE QUARANTINE.
DR.. Bartlett Of Belle PLANE, Seeks Assist
Once Of County Health Board.

Dr. W.E.Bartlett of Belle Plaine, was
10 the city Monday for the purpose OF
securing the assistance Of the county
board of health 10 enforcing the quar-
antine regulations against smallpox
patients in Belle PLANE. DR.. Bartlett
reports five cases of the disease in
Belle PLANE, and several more cases
in that neighbOrhoOd. The disease i,
mild, being the same affection that is
so general oyer the country. For this
reason the people refuse 10 believe
that the disease is smallpox, and pay
no attention to quarantine orders.
DR., Bartlett submitted his state,
ment OF facts to the board this after
noon, with request that they d.
what is advisable 10 the matter
The board Instructed the county
attorney to write the mayor of Belle
Plaine directing him to see that the
quarantine regulations are enforced
against persons who have the disease
If the Belle PLANE authorities refuse
% assist the physicians 10 the
matter, it is not improbable that the
commissioners will quarantine the
town and cause the arrest OF
person who refuse to obey the regula
tions, as an object lesson to others
Mulvane was talking yesterday Of
quarantining against Belle PLANE
Unless Belle Plaine guarantees bel
own cases she will very likely fint
her neighbOring towns Qlarantined
against her.
DR.. Bartlett says the disease is 81
mild as to be OF no serious conSeuuenc,
but insists that it is smallpox, Fl,
thinks that owing to the almost uni
verSal vaccination, smallpox ha
been robbed of its terrors, and tina
the disease in its old and terrible form
will never gain a foOthold in thi
country again.

Why a man pays taxes and what
he gets in return therefor is fgur-
ed out in this manner by an ex-
change: A man with 81, 900
worth Of property is likely to pay
from $40 to $15a year taxes. For
this. if he lives in the city, he gets
the service Of the police for secur-
ing quiet and observance of the
law, he gets protection from fires;
he gets education for his children;
officials to look after the streets
and sidewalks, new laws enacted
by the Legislature, the benefits Of
the court at nominal cost to the
litigant. If he lives in the coun-
try he gets bridges, roads and
many of the above enumerated
advantages also. Sometimes the
taxpayer tinds il bard to spare the
money for taxes, but he would
find it great deal harder to get
along without what bis money
pays for.

pay the bill. The business men
are expected to contribute liberal
ly to the support of the various
churches of our town, then take
care of their own families and at
tend every dinner, supper and So
clal given by the various Ladies'
Aid societies during the year.
There is no class of people that
are being bled daily more than
our business men. If q merchant
refuses to contribute to these de-
mands that are daily made upon
him, he will be boycotted.
Ii the citizens who receives all
these benefits from our little circle
OF business men would appreciate
their generosity and reciprocate
by giving them their exclusive
trade, the evil would be of less
magnitude, but if the average cit
'zen can save q nickel by sending
an order to some city department
store they forget all these favors
and the order goes to the city,
even the ministers, who are de.
pendent wholly on the merchants
will send away for goods if they
can save by doing 30.
1t our business men were not
required to contribute third of
their income for the benefit Of
our. town, no department store in
the. cities could furnish your goods,
as cheap as they. You rob them
at every opportunity and then com
pen Them to compete with firms
that never pay a penny for the
benefit of our town. These are
facts and cnnnot be denied If t

ity and for which they receive no

Cold FACTS.

The citizens of Avoca are in the
habit of askinga a great deal of our
merchants, in fact they are impos
ed upon. Whether it is through
carelessness or pure gall, we do
not pretend to know. The busi-
ness firms of our city are expect
ed in'hdny respects to support the
town. The business men are lib
eral to a fault, but too many are
inclined to impose upon good ma
ture, and the matter has gone from
bad to worse until we believe it is
our duty to call the publio's atten-
ton to the facts. For example:
We decided to have fair associ-
alton, a few of our business men
took hold of the matter and met
the necessary expenses and have
kept up their untiring efforts un-
til they have succeeded in giving
Avoca q name among the leading
fairs of the state, they close their
place of business the best days Of
the fair, which means loss to
them, and are not benefited one
cent by the fair. They are expect
ed to take enough advertising in
the premium list to meet all the
printing expenses of the fair. We
will hold a Fourth of July celebra-
ton, and few business men are
expected to meet the entire ex-
pense. An entertainment is given
in the opera house, the business
men are expected to place their
advertisements around the little
programme, in this manner contri
butte enough to pay for the opera
house and all the expenses. We
