FOR WEAK, tANGUID PERSONS.

Weak, siclIly people often remark
"if I could only get something that
would nourish me and give me
strength" They do not know why.
but the food they eat is of no benefit to
them, they gain no flesh and feel no
stronger. The fact is the stomach is
too weak to perform its work, and the
little appetite they once had is soon
gone. The blood becomes more thin
and watery, bringing or faint sick
spells with loss of memory and ambi-
ton; they are always tired and list
less, and subjects of every contagious
disease en- account of their weakness.
There is 6. remedy for all this that acts
in the right way, it turns the food you
eat into Itch blood, making flesh and
strength. creates an appetite because
the system demands s~ustenance. This

A Democratic Characteristic.

AT the close of the recent dem
ocratic state convention at Grand
Island, vote of thanks was ex-
tended to the citizens of that
place for their cordiality with
which the visitors were received.
Col. Edgar Howard of the Col
umbus Telegram was temporar-
lily in the chair and after putting
the motion, he said in his char
aCteriStiC manner:
at is very appropriate that a
vote OF thanks be accorded the
Grand Island people, but it would
not, in my opinion, be inappro-
pirate for the citizens of this city
to pass resolution of thanks to
the delegates to this convention.
1t has been demonstrated that
every delegate to a democrat
convention spends eleven dollars
and forty cents. Four dollars is
for hotel bill and"
And with gentle stroke over
his chin he sat down leaving the
delegates to mentally supply the
place where the remaining seven,
forty had one.-The Leader
Independent, Greedy, Nebr.
We are a little surprised that
Leader--lndependent which is
supporting the democratic ticket
and p. II. Barry for Congress
would publish the above. We
had hoped that the democratic
party had left off its old habits
and would not be chargeable with
being addicted to the rum habit.
We can say to their credit that
there are not many of that class
that belong to the demo-pop
party in this vicinity, to whom
the accusation could apply. But
Col. Edgar Howard is reliable
authority in democratic circles
and we are compelled to accept
it. But in all seriousness did
you ever know of steam rising
above its fountain? Can you ex-
pect the nominees of that con-
vention to be different from those
who nominated them2

Custer Canyon to maintain him
self and family without ostenta-
tions or prentions was one of the
county seat visitors Saturday.
We meet him in the vicinity of
the Court House, which led us to
inquire of his welfare, crops,
ect. Mr.. Heffele informed us
that he had just filed another
deed for record in the registers
Office which made him the owner
of 600 acres of land. On making
further inquiry we learned that
he already has quite a bunch of
cattle and hogs and the largest
crop of corn to feed them he has
ever raised IN the county. By
further heterogeneous we learn
ed the secret of his success is
that all this time that he has
been aCcumulating his herd of
cattle and adding farm after farm
to his possessions, he has been
raising hogs for the market and
milking his COWS. He is now
milking twenty three head of
which a number of them are
heiters with their first calf, but
he tells me his cream check for
June was St4 and for July sos.
Mr.. Hetfele has no patent on his
methods of doing business and
the way is open for others who is
endowed with the patience and
perseverance that Mr.. Heffele
possesses. While others have been
complaining he and his faithful
wife and children have kept right
along in the even tenor of their
way and now they have attained
a position that let hard times
come or not they milk their cows
feed their pigs and take in their
cream check every month in the
year, with no expense except
their own labor. We are pleased
to note that there are hundreds
of other farmers in Custer
county who started with no
a few years ago in
Custer county that can number
their broad acres by the hundreds
and many of them are out of debt
and have a monthly income from

ember ,, 1901, to June Is, 1902,
amounting to S1064.95 and on
warrants collected had charged
S2O775. This latter charge
does not include only about two
thirds of the warrants collected.
These sums amount to S1272.7O
for mileage on distress warrants
alone in the short space of time
of six and half months. At five
cents a mile for each mile neces-
sarily and actually travelled, it
would require Sheriff Armstrong
or deputy to have travelled 27454
miles, more than once around the
world, in that short space of
time. Had he charged but 212
cents a mile as the Beacon AYERS
was the contract the sheriff
would have had to travel double
the number of miles or 54908
miles or equivalent to PA times
around the world. Is it strange
the republican members of the
board became Just little startled
at those figures. The only
strange thing about it is that
the pop members of the board in
sisted that the claim was not
excessive or illegal. The RE-
PUBLICAN has no desire to accuse
sheriff wrongfully simply be-
cause he chances to belong to the
fusion party. He has made
good officer and is entitled all
the law allows, but no more.
Neither do we charge him with
Intentionally trying to beat the
county. The trouble is with his
system of charging. To illus
trate, we will suppose that he
starts out with 10 distress war
rants. He reaches the first man
by travelling five miles, the End
is five miles further which is ten
miles from the starting point,
the third is five miles further
which makes Is miles from the
starting point, the fourth man is
another five miles further, or 2OI
miles from the point of starting
and the fifth still another five
miles farther on, which would be
IS from the place from which he
started. AT the same ratio when
the tenth man had been reached
he would have Travelled fifty
miles. But see how many more
miles it will figure. If the first
man is charged for five miles,
the second man for 10 miles the
third man Is, the fourth man for
20, the fifth man for Is and so on

until the tenth man is reached,
1t would amount 275 miles when
in fact but 50 miles had actually
and necessarily been travelled.
At only 212 cents mile on that
method of computation the sheriff
would get S7.87H. While at
5 cents a mile for the distance
actually travelled he would get
only $3.50.
The argument that $3.50
would not pay for team or livery
hire has nothing to do with the
case. The law limits the mile
age fee to five cents a mile for
every mile necessarily and actu-
ally travelled, and limits the sher-
ifs salary to $4,000 a year, he
paying expenses the same as does
the county superinten.
dent. But let us see, if
it the Sheriff does not at that
rate get fair wages. For serving
each of those distress warrants
he gets SO cents for serving them.
From that fee he realizes $500
mileage $3.50, amounts to $3.50
Is that not fair compensation.
We venture that there are
hundreds of men in Custer county
who would take the job for half
the amount. Then, fire.
quently if not always the
sheriff has other papers that he
serves on which he collects both
mileage and fees at the same
time.
