To Know What You Are TAX
ing When Using Catarrh
Medicines


Catarrh is the short route 10 con
I sumption, and the importance OF earl!
and judicious treatment OF catarrh
whether located in the head, throa
or bronchial tubes, cannot be too
strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures Is as Ions
as the moral law and the forms II
which they are administered, numer
Gus and confusing. from sprays. in
halers washes, ointments, and salve'
to powders. liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and effective, but
with nearly all advertised catarrh
remedies it is almost entirely a matter
of guess work as to what you are TAX
ing into your system, as the propri
etors, while making all sorts of claims
as to what their medicines will do
always keep it a close secret as to
what they are.
The success and popularity of the
new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, is largely because 1t not
only cures catarrh, but because ca.
tarrh sufferers who used these tablets
know what they are taking into their
systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets be-
ing composed OF Red Gum, Blood
Root and similar valuable and anti.
septic ingredients, and are pleasant to
the taste and being dissolved in the
mouth they take immediate effect
upon the mucuous lining of the throat
nasal passages and whole respiratory
tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases Of catarrh are little
short of remarkable, and the advan.
tage of knowing what You are putting
into your stomach is of paramount
importance when it Is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit
has been frequently contracted as the
result of using secret catarrh rene.

Two OF the republican papers III this

tlfy the Nixon steal in this county. The
article was written by Topeka politi.

Even if their story of 1893 were true.
which 1t Is not, does that justify this
steal? 1t Is not necessary to dwell at
length. Here at home where the facts
are known 1t is admitted by men of ali
parties, and the election board of Ell.
wood neutrality-suspicious., Demo.
Gratis and Populists alike-are ready to
make atfida' iCs, that Mr.. Nixon receiv.
ed only IL votes in that township. The
courts compelled count of Is, thus
giving Mr.. Walkers office to Mr.. Nixon.
1t is an outrage and can not be excused.
Now bit of advice to republican con.
ddence men: This trick has been car.
rled through and the less you say in an
attempt at justification the better,
Inc best element of people are aroused
and the more you Insult them the worse
1T is for you. The Index counsels peace.
We are willing that the wrong shall be
righted either by the legislature or by
the people at the polls, but there is no
oseof concealing the fact that there
are men who take different view of it
and 1t is poor judgment to further ex-
cite their wrath. There is nothing that
works up public sentiment more than
stealing an election and no amoant of
explanations" from Topeka will quiet
the remOnstrance.
LII the legislature gives no relief,
which it probably will not, let us set
tie 1t at the polls in 1904.

1t wants the people of Barber county to

IT is hardly worth while to 90 to q
court these days for justice unless there
Is no chance to use the technically
dodge. The courts have come to use
this evasive thing so much that the com.
mon people do not know whether they
are afoot or on horseback. When the
supreme court was asked to pass on
tie constitutionality of the outrageous
ballot law, they sat back on their dig.
nifty and disclaimed jurisdiction. And
when this county asked them to right
q wrong in compelling count of eight
more votes than were cast they did the
same thing. There is only one way to
overcome this kind of practice and that
is to make the majority against it SO
large that it is beyond the reach of
courts and political heelers.
