THE GLOBES SHORTAGE.

The charge of discrepancies in the
state books Is met by the Butler
(MoO TINES in this ridiculous fash

agree that the discrepancies are in
the manipulation oi state bonds, the
misappliration Of the school fund

that each found n different amount
OF shortage and the sum of their
findings was as stated in The TINES.
We want to be absolutely iair, and if
the Globes experts are only claiming
eleven million discrepancies, and the
Globe is willing to stand by those
figures, wecommend its modesty, and
will contine ourselves to that amount
in referring to it in the future. 1t is
said that the devil quotes Scriptures

atheist will quote passages from the
Bible to sustain his contentious.
The Globe. Democrat started into this
campaign Juggling with figures to
deceive and confuse the voters. 1t
made serious charges of dishonesty
against state officials. Governor
Dockery invited that paper to EN-
ploy its experts and examine the
books. This it declined to do. So
the Governor employed a firm of the
highest order of experts. These tx,
pert accountants examined the re-
cords from 1865 10 date and certified
that there was no shortage The
Globe takes some OF it's creatures,
who have never qualified or been
recognized as expert accountants,
and by Juggling the figures of the
Auditors reports and the reports
made by the experts, contends that
there are 81, 900, 900 shortage. No
one believes that there is any short
age in the states accounts, least OF
all the editors OF the Globe Demo-
crat. They are making such charges
solely for campaign purposes. That
paper started into the campaign with
the charge that the school funds had
been looted, and stuck to it until it
fonnd itself in an absolutely ridicu-
lous attitude. 1t will probably stick
to its shortage charge until the end
OF the campaign.

II comes to us that some OF the
candidates on the Republican ticket
are very much dissatisfied over the
special effort the party managers are
making for two or three candidates.
Each one feels that as the regular
nominee he is entitled to the full par
ty support, and that all the rest
should not be sacrificed for one or
two on the ticket, simply because
they have the pull with the machine.

Mr.. Bryan it is evident that his pop

that democratic apathy talked of is

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
in the Union. DR.. Hartman isreceiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk. the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. Toprevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out
of it's victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures
catarrh, but prevents. Every house
hold should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and SO forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

"Then our guest hurrledly pours
forth wonderful volume:

send for him to plane it off little;
he said the Watsons had new stone
pillars at their front gate, with "Wat-
son" cut on one pillar and "The Low
ers'' on the other. Rural delivery was
out this way, Joe said, and that you had
already had fuss with the postman.

into their tenants house for the winter
and were awfully cozy, and he also
said you'd had letter from cousin

Joe Had Wind of Most Everything
Going and Didn't Leave Any
thing to BE Told.

It is q curious fact that in country
neighborhoods, news-items travel fast
err than in the city; and this assump-
ton is daily borne out by indlsput-
able evidence, says the Detroit Free
Press.

that it is hardly worth while to invite
city people out to visit US until we
can afford regular coachman," re-
marked a man who fairly dotss on
his pretty little home three miles
from town.
SLOWS that?" asked the other man.
swell, the cars stop about three
quarters of mile from US, and, as
we don't keep man, we generally
engage nearby farmers son to
drive over and meet our friends. Joe
is quaint fellow, a garrulous bachelor
about 40, and his nose for news
would make his fortune in the field OF
city journalism. In fact, by the time
our guests have ridden from the sta
ton with Joe, it is almost utter folly
for Julia and me tc try to entertain
them, We had some friends out last
night to dinner, and I'll give you a
sample of our evening conversation.
