Why this spec 2 Who was asking
for the change in county governments?
IT. is supposed bv the people that the
members of the Board are the repre-
sentatives of their constituents. and
yet here is a radical change in county
government not asked for or expected
by the great majority OF the people.
Here is measure that takes from the
districts the right to choose their own
supervisors and places this power in
the hands of the entire county. Why
this change? Whose aye was ground
by that act? We have not heard any
desire expressed by the people for this
change, and yet Gilmore and Hall, two
supervisors appointed to fill vacancy
only, have taken it upon themselves to
take from the people their right TO
select their own representatives and
placed such power in the hand of the
entire county. Is it possible that these
appointed supervisors believe that
Washington township knows better
who Little Sioux township may want
than Little Sioux people know them
selves? Or the same of any other
townships? 1t was a move in tine
dark, uncalled for, and will rebound TO
the disadvantage of the people and the
actors.

Lawrence b Stringer, of Illinois,

"The democratic party stands IN

championing the peoples rights. IT.
stands the enemy of monopoly; the foe
to oppression, the friend of labor and
the inspiration of youth. 1t stands
for purity in public life, economy in
public servic.,, the abolition of privi-
leges to the few, for taxes no greater
than government needs, and for a
trade unfettered and free II stands
for an expansion, contiguous, consti-
tutional and symbolized by stars-to- be
upol the nations flag 1t stands for
the enforcement of law as against the
anarchy that lays low loved presl-
dent, that takes the life of governor
in the capital city of state and hides
behind extradition laws in it to save
political friends from the righteous
process of the law. 1t stands for duty
as against the dollar; for human liber-
ty as against inhuman greed, for the
constitution side by side with the flag
wherever 1t may government by
consent at home, abroad or in the sun
kissed isles of the sea. 1t stands where
Jefferson stood ut the day dawn of the
nation, where Jackson stood in his
fight against corporate greed, where
patriots have stood in times that tried
mems souls, and there, by the grace of
God, it will ever stand until the grasp
of greed is released from the flag, until
the foes of liberty are driven from the
field, until the shadow of imperialism
has been sent back to the European
countries from whence it came, and
until the banner of united democracy
shall once more fly, undimmed and
free, the heralds of glorious victory" :"

WHAT'S IN A NAME2
(nenson's Plaster Is Palms Master

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary q cent in twenty years
The very name of Oliver AInes g. Son, was
Asynonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is 'good" plaster does
not describe it; 10 is tho best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster Is used
almost as matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes Of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back.
etc., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Cnpsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
Of Benson5. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in q
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received fifty foe highest Gtoards.
Beware of substitutes and cheap limitations.

Zietung, who gathered at his table ma
jority of the leading figures in American
journalism. They came from the four
quarters of the country and made the
most noteworthy gathering of their pro-
fession ever assembled in the United

of greetings between Prince Henry and

used.
The two rooms were beautifully deco
rated. Mr.. Ridder and the special
guests sat at an elevated table above
which were the American and German
| flags. The slaves were crossed and the
banner draped fan-like, reached out like
the wings of a huge butterfly. Above
them was the Prussian eagle done in in
candescent lights. From the boxes hung
clinging vines and set in on the lodges
were hundreds ofpalms. Each table car
ried bouquets of American beauty roses
around which were candelabra shaded in
red. AS the diners took their places the
ladies of many of the party appeared in
the boxes which wall the room.
AS the Prince took his seat the electric
light was flashed into the Prussian eagle
above him on the southern wall and the
power was also increased in every one o.
the $500 incandescent lights that burned
in the ROOM 1t gave special brilliancy tc
an already attractive scene. The Prince
made felicitous after dinner speech, il
which he spoke high words of praise o.
American newspapers and the men whit
, make them.

RHUBARB AND ITS USES.

A spring product already quite plenty
In our leading markets is the rhubarb
and 1t Is one Of many desirable quali-
ties. BY many it is thought especially
healthful and is therefore given n place
on the table as often MS possible during
its season. In cooking rhubarb you
should never forget it's acid properties
and for that reason avoid cooking in a
tin or iron dish. Let me suggest some
rhubarb dishes that may be new to
