Read It in His Newspaper.

George Schaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a con-
slant reader of the Dayton VolksZei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
to advertise only the best in its col
umns, and when he saw Chamberlain's
Pain Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate in buying 8
bottle of it for his wife, who for eight
weeks had suffered with the most ter
rible pains in her back and could get
no relief. He says: After using the
Pain Balm for few days my wife said
TO me, 4 feel as tho born anew and be-
fore using the entire contents of the
bottle the unbearable pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take UP
her HOUSEHOLD duties" He is very
thankful and hopes that all suffering
likewise will hear of her wonderful re-
covery. This valuable liniment is for
sale by druggists.

THE REVISED COUNT.

John D. Po,ter's Majority in Hampton
County Primaries. Is Four Votes.
Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, June 1S.-The revised
count of the Hamilton county republic
can primaries gives John D. Porter a
majority of four votes for county at
torney. AS the county is strongly re-
publican his election is assured. A GU
rious miss-count in Scott and Hamil-
ton townships caused victory to rest
at first with ]. NJ. Blake by eleven ma
jority, then with Porter by barely one
vote which has now grown to four.
Much bitter feeling exists between the
two factions over the result. The pri-
mary system, however, used for the
first time. has given universal satisfac-
ton. 1t is entirely likely that the Kam-
HELEN faction, aided largely by the
younger voters, has complete control Of
the county central committee. The re-
suits are very satisfactory to the peo-
pie in general for the disgruntled poll
tician has been badly worsted.

Farmer Beats Merchants.

Clarinda, June 1S.-R A Heinnger,
of near Clarinda, a farmer, had become
seriously tired of buying potatoes at
the exorbitant price of $1.40 per bushel,
and he made up his mind he would get
his potatoes in the ground as soon as
the frost went out of Mother Earth this
spring. The result of his venture was
that on May 80 he had potatoes in
plenty for his family and of enormous
size, some of which measured Slsx7
inches and were ripe, too. and he sold
them on the market at SLIGO per bushel.
He was getting back at the merchants
with a vengeance.
