A TRINITY OF EVILS,
Cured by DR. Kepnedys New kedi-
cine After Other Treatment Had
Failed.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, Of Silvara.
Penn, formerly of Roxbury, N. Y.
writing to DR.. David Kennedy Of
Kennedy Row, said;
"Your NEW medicine, Cal.cura S l.
vent is immense. 1t cured me Of liv.
er and kidney troubles, and rheuma-
tism; after a lot of weary dosing with
things that did no good. IL is a re-.
cord breaker and no mistake"
AS in Mr.. Montgomery case, rheu.
matism is often, indeed almost always
complicated with kidney and liver
trouble. 1t is because Cal.cura SOL
vent acts on tie kidneys and liver and
at tine same time expels uric acid from
the blood, that 1t is such reliable
remedy for rheumatism and the atten-
dant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause. Therefore the cure is per-
manent, safe and sure.
Write to the Cal.cura Company,
Kennedy Row, Roundout, N. Y, for
free sa mple bottle.
Remember: Only one DR.. David
Kennedy ever lived in Roundout City
Of Kingston, N. Y, and be sure you
get bis new and latest medicine,
which is sold only in s1.00. bottles.

The new man at West Point has. one
misfortune to endure throughout the

has entered upon a course of 'disci-

Is regulated by an inflexible system.
He has no friend at hand; the word
sympathy seems to be unknown.
Older cadets look on, understand, pity,
but give no sign. H. Irving Hancock
says in Life at West Point"
1t is common sight for a cadet cor.
poral, going into the room of ''plebe,"
to find him seated at his table, pen in

Professor Edward r. Phelps NJ. d. ,

positive and perm snent cure for all

MANY suffer in the autumn season.
To the rheumatic, this truth should
prove encouraging and comforting.

reason why sufferers should pin their

the general willingness with which
contributions were made to his cause
attested his great popularity with his
fellow workers. All but few Office
holders and men who are under strong
personal obligations to Mr.. Lacey gave
to the fund.
Mr.. Lacey has unlimited means and
is said to be using money without stint
in the cities in the district. The ne
cessity that is the greatest in Mr..
Reese's cause is for money to get out
the vote in the cities and have it reg
istered.
There is no registration in the coun-
try districts, and it is for this purpose
named that the miners Clipped in
their mites. Outside of the miners
vote there is great independent vote
which will contribute largely in help
ing Mr.. Reese to victory.
Contrast the dispatch actually sent
from Oskaloosa and the one printed
by the American and draw your own
conclusions. And bear in mind also
that this trumped up dispatch is the
foundation on which the democratic
papers of the Sixth district are trying
to build some sort of an attack on Ma
jor Lacey. Was ever anything done
in the political history of this com,
munity fraught with more chicanery
or contempt?

WHAT SHALL 1T BE?

That our commercial and industrial
conditions are in a more prosperous
condition now than they have ever
been before is well known to every
citizen of this nation. One of the
most concise resumes of American
conditions is that given by Hon. Ed
ward l.. Hamilton, of Michigan, in a
speech delivered in the house Or re.
representatives. in February, 1902, as
follows:
I'VE are buying less and selling
more abroad than ever before.
'We are buying more and selling
more at home than ever before, be,
cause people have something to sell
and something to buy with.
1--WE have more money in use and
circulation than ever before; more
money per capita than ever before;
more money in savings banks than
ever before; the dollar has u larger
purchasing power than ever before
and the laboring men lives better
than ever before.
THE ships OF every business ven
ture have come into port laden with
better returns than ever before"

the people of this nation against the
idea that the policies of the national

JOHN +. LAcEY's MEASURE.

Il am glad to look into the faces of
the republicans of congressional dis
trict, who have honored themselves as
they have honored the congress of the
United States by keeping as their rep
resentative through twelve years Hon.
John F. Lacey, than whom more in
dustrious, persistent, devoted. patriot
ic man does not exist in any other dis
trict." This is the estimate placed up
on our congressman by Hon. Serene
Payne, of New York, in addressing an
Ottumwa audience. man who,
through his years Of experience in
the public service, knows the stand
ard whereby the the usefulness of pub
lie officials to their constituents and
their nation can be rightly measured.
Then in expressing desire he voices
the duty of the sixth district voters
when he says, II hope you will keep
him there twelve years longer, and
then if Lacey still holds out, hope the
republicans of this district viii still
have the good sense and good judg--
ment to keep in Office in the house of
representatives man who does as
mucn credit to the district, the state
and the house as does John F. La
cey.''
