The sympathy of the whole community

Returns From the Hamilton County
Primaries Officially County.
Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, June 19.-The county
canvassing board is making a canvass
cent republican primaries. Interest over
the final result is intense as the unoffi-
cial count gives John D. Porter popu-
lar majority of four votes over ]. M.
Blake The board is made up of w. S.
Watston, f. NJ. Merchant and w. C.
BurleSon, chairman, secretary and
treasurer respectfully of the central
committee. 1t is entirely probably that
litigation may follow the announcement
of the boards decision. The plum is
likely Porter's unless the board go back
of the returns in which case no predic-
ton could safely be made as to the Win
ner. Blake is a resident of Jewell and a
strong member of the Weston Chase
Clark faction, while Porter is a recent
acquisition to the kamrar- HELEN
ranks. Blake is in the city watching
the contest with bated breath. as indeed
is everyone else. He talks of having a
canvass of the ballots. AS the primary
rules and regulations make no provision
for going back of the returns the KAN
rar- HELEN Porter forces will very like
ly resist this to the point of a legal con-
test. The general sentiment in the city
seems to be that Blake will be unable
to displace Porter altho both factions
had hoped that decisive majority
would be given whichever candidate
should win.
The fight over the county central
committee was the most bitter and de-
cisive in years. AS the smoke of the
primaries clears away it becomes more
and more evident that the anti-Chase
forces have a clear victory. Previous
to the election the Chase-Clark forces
had seventeen of the twenty-one men,

# YOU HAVE Pain IN YOUR BACk
Do Not be Deceived, You Have
Kidney Trouble, and You Do
Not Need Physician to
Tell You So.

Let us give you piece Of advice.
Pain in the back is an almost infallible
sign of kidney disease; surer sign IS
the condition of your urine. II you have
pain in the back then look to the con-
Gition of your urine. 1t is easily done.
Take a glass tumbler and fill it with
urine. after it has stood twenty-four
Eours( if 1t has a sediment, If 1t is
milky or cloudy, if it is pale or discol-
cred, stringy or rory, your kidneys and
bladder are in dangerous CONDITION
and need immediate attention, or the
consequences may prove fatal.
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rene
dy is the one medicine that really cures
all diseases of the kidneys, liver, blad-
der and blood, rheumatism. dyspepsia
and chronic constipation, and it will
take you but short trial to convince
yourself of its wonderful curative pow
er.
G. F. Sammer, of No. 40s Tioga
street, Syracuse, N. Y, in recent let
ter says:
81 was afflicted for years with severe
pains in my back and Kidneys. l tried
many doctors and many medicines, but
got no relief; for over two years
scarcely had good nights rest on ac-
count of backache in most distressing
form. 1 bought bottle of DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and COM
menced to use it, and l must say
never imagined 1 should find such a
wonderful cure. Why, / feel like

years"
