Reports from some of the dairy sec

coming in by the carload and that the
number In use will be largely increased
this year and in future years. This
feeling in favor of the silo is Increased
by the fact that in many cases those
who feed ensilage are getting at the
creameries credit for more butter fat
and better price for their milk than
those who feed hay and do not expend
any more for grain, though they may
balance their rations little better, and
the good price paid for nay may have
some influence. for dairymeu would not
object to having few tons OF hay to
sell and yet be able to Keep as many

A FORTUNATE POSTMASTER.

Kirk, Ark, 14th.-Mr. William S.
brennan, Postmaster at this office,
counts himself a very fortunate man.
Mr.. brennan in addition to being
postmaster is Justice of the Peace,
a member of the Christian Church and
highly respected and useful citizen.
He has suffered for some time with
whatsome people would call "ricketts"
or "rigors' of the kidneys-kidney
disease in a very painful form. He
could not sleep, he had a dull pain over
his left kidney, was continually rest
less, could not lie still, and had to get
up through the night several times
and was also troubled in this way dur
ing the day.
He used a few boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, remedy recently intro
duced in this state and advertised as a
cure for Kidney Disease, rheumatism,
Malaria, ETC., and in a short time was
completely restored to vigorous, good
health. He is very grateful to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Cannot Go Behind Returns.

In district court at Lawrence Judge
c. A. Smart denied the application OF
]. L. Brady for writ of mandamus
to compel the county contest board
to recount the ballots cast at the
republican primary convention on
June 6. Judge G. j. Barker had been
declared the republican nominee for
representative from the Thirteenth
district but it was afterward learned
that a mistake had been made in
casting up the totals in one precinct
which. if corrected, would give Brady
the nomination. Mr.. Brady then
brought his mandamus action to-
compel the board to go back of the
convention and count the votes cast
at the primary. 1t wcs this the
judge refused to order, holding that
when the contest board had rendered
its decision it has no further powers
i'll the case; that the decision of the
board was final; that even if the
board could go behind the conven-
ton the ballots alleged to have been
cast had no integrity and value as
evidence, having been in no ones es-
pecial charge since election.
