The Convention.

The democratic county conven-
ton on Saturday promises to bring
a large number Of people to town.
The opera house is being decorated
for the occasion, and Chairman Nc
Duffie has had matters arranged so
that the delegates will be seated
by themselves instead of having
audience and delegates mixed up
promiscuously, as has heretofore
been the custom. The seats for
each precinct will be marked by
placards which will greatly facili-
tate the work of the convention.
Handsome badges have been print
ed for the use Of the delegates, and
at the close of the proceedings the
opera house will be cleaned up and
got ready for the banquet in the
evening. The culinary arrange
ments are in charge of A. D. Fos-
ter, and it is expected that all
hands will enjoy royal good time
in growing Grangeville. The main
interest in the work Of the conven-
tion centers in the nomination for
county clerk and the selection OF
the legislative delegation.
The primaries throughout the
county were the most hotly con.
tested since its Orga nization, all ol
which augurs we'll for the success
of the ticket to be nominated by
the convention. Interest in thu
primaries is always followed by .
big vote on election day. Will,
the contest is close between tn
rival candidates there is no bitter
ness, and the rank and file will lin
up on election day and put tn
ticket through by the biggest ma
jorities ever given . democrati
ticket in the county.

WATER QUESTION
YET UNSETTLED
Unable to Agree on the Points at Issue
the Case Will be POuSha Out
in the Courts.
EXPENSIVE LITIGATION EXPECTED
.-
rlr. Jack Claims His Contract was
rlade Under the Statutes Of 1887,
which Is Favorable to Him.
EXPENSIVE LITIGATION ExPECTE D

W. NJ. Jack, proprietor of the
Grangeville water system, left for
his home at Los Angeles Tuesday
evening, after vain effort to come
to some agreement or conclusion
with the board of village trustees
in regard to the contract made by a
former board whereby the village
was to pay $1,000 a year for the use
of water for necessary municipal
purposes. This contract the pres
ent board saw fit to repudiate by
refusing to order the issue of the
the usual quarterly warrant in pay
ment for water. They were actp-
ated to take this step by legal ad-
vice that under the law of 1893
water companies are compelled to
furnish water free for fire prOtec-
tion and other necessary municipal
uses. For time it looked as
though the trouble would be set
tied by friendly suit brought in
the court by the contehding part les
to determine the case upon an
agreed statement of facts. Through
the efforts of County Attorne ey
Scales this proposition was agreed
to by Mr.. Jack and the trustees,
but when it came to submitting the
said facts it was found that very
great difference of opinion existed
between the parties in interest.
The matter came up for final decis-
ion at the meeting OF the village
trustees on Saturday evening La st.
and no agreement having been ar
rived at the matter will now have
to be fought out in the court
strictly on its legal merits.
Mr.. Jack claims that the on
tract was made under the provis-
ions of the territorial statute of
1887, whereby municipalities are
authorized to purchase water for
municipal purposes. Under this
law the village has no show what
ever in the courts, and is bound to
lose should Mr.. Jacks contention
be sustained. On the other hand,
it is claimed OF behalf of the village
that the law of 1887 was super
seeded by the state law of 1888,
which gives cities, towns and vii
lagos the absolute right to wa ter
for fire protection and other nee es-
sary municipal purposes free OF
charge. The matter is still further
complicated by the fact that the
law of 1898 has been declared by
the supreme court Of the state to
be unconstitutional. 1t is veXed
and difficult question, and the
rights and wrongs of the matter
will necessarily have to be threshed
out in the courts to the detriment
Of all parties. Mr.. Jack expects
to return late in September.

Friendly Contest.

Office, and Over 80 Votes
Were Cast.

The democratic primary election
in growing Grangeville last Satur-
day was full of interest, and the
very large vote and the enormous
ma ajorities cast for the winning
ticket show that the democratic
voters of this precinct are fully re-
solved to carry out the old and re-
liable democratic policy of putting
up none but the very best end most
representative men for the suf-
frages of the rank and tile of the
party.
For a few days prior to the hold
ing Of the primary election there
was some talk Of dividing the dele
CATION into two precincts to con-
form to the action of the county
commissioners, but as no equitable
division of the delegates could he
arrived at the sober sense of the
people concluded that for the pur-
pose of this campaign the precinct
should be kept intact, and there
fore the democratic ticket as elected
was placed before the people, and
growing Grangeville will therefore
be represented in the county con-
vention Saturday by one set of "a
delegates.
The polls were opened promptly
on Saturday afternoon by the elec-
tion of j. T. McDuffie and L. Vim
yard as judges and f. McBroom
and w. II. Casady as clerks. Then
the fun commenced. A new ticket
headed by Andrew w. Moore was
circulated which contained the
names of 10 of the candidates on
the democratic ticket, the names of
those omitted being: A. F. Parker,
John Coram, II. G. johnson, j. f
Briscoe and Ike Ackerman. In
place Of these gentlemen the Moore
ticket contained the following:
Andrew w. Moore, W. H. Casady,
Clay McNamee, l. G. Hattabaugh
and H. M. McDermid. The votes
came fast and thick, and at the
close of the polls at s p. IN. a total
of 1S1 votes had been cast, or more
than half the total cast in the pre-
cinct at the last general election.
The ladies were strictly in evidence,
two carriages being employed to
bring them to the polls. When the
votes were counted it was found
that the democratic ticket had been
elected by enormous majorities

elected and the total vote of each:

is big kick about it. 1t is under
stood that a contesting delegat ton
from that precinct will demand ad-
mittance to the convention.
The Grangeville delegation, while
supporting various candidates for
various Offices, are as a whole a
unit in their desire to nominate the
best and strongest ticket the party
has had in recent years.

A CAUSE OF
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.
Headache is a symptom, an indication Of
arrangement or disease in some organ, and
the cause OF the headache is difficult to To-
cate because so many diseases have head
ache as a prominent symptom; derange-
ment OF the stomach and liver, heart
trouble, kidney disease, lung trouble, eye
strain OF i'll fitting glasses all produce head
aches, and II we could always locate the
organ which is at fault the cure OF OBJ
stinate headaches would be a much simpler
matter.
However, for the form of headache called
frontal headache, pain back OF the eyes and
in forehead, the cause Is now known to be
catarrh Of the head and throat; when the
headache is located in back Of head ami
neck It is often caused from catarTh Of tLe
stomach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most common
cause Of such headaches and the cure Of the
catarrh causes { prompt disappearance OF
the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal
remedy in tablet form, composed Of init
septics like red gum blood root which act
upon the blood and cause the elimination OF
the catarrhal poison from the system
through the natural channels.
Miss Cora Aipsley, a prominent school
teacher in one of our normal schools,
speaks OF her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets as a cure for them. She says: Il
suffered daily from severe frontal headache
and pain in and back OF the eyes, at times
so intensely as to incapacitate me in my
daily duties. l had suffered from catarrt
more or less for years, but never thought II
was the cause OF my headaches, but finally
became convinced that such was the case
because the headaches were always worse
whenever l had a cold or fresh attack o.
eatarrh.
'Stuart's CataTrh Tablets we're highly
recommended to me as a safe and pleasan.
catarrh cure, and after using a few 5O-cen.
boxes, which ! procured from my druggists

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by drug

ing representative Of the Illinois Grain
Dealers association at a meeting between
Commissioner A. l.. French, James Neville
and a committee representing dealers from
all parts Of the state.
The dealers appeared before the commits
sion to complain Of the rigid requirements
Of the Chicago grain inspection office on
what is known as No. 2 corn. They sub
mitted receipts to show that although prac-
tically the same grade of corn is being
shipped into the city as formerly. it is
being inspected as No. 8, instead of No.
2, to the disadvantage of the dealers who
are thus unable to ill their contracts.
At the conclusion Of the interview the
commissioner said they would talk with
the inspectors and do everything possible
to give the shippers the desired relief.

FIGHT RAILWAY WITH WATER
Waukegsn Citizens Keep Tracks from

in Case.

CHICAGO, Dec. e.-Unable to find the
mayor of their town, and with no circuit
court Judge available, the citizens OF Wau-
kegan, ILL.,, this afternoon took matters
into their own hands, and with the aid
of a freplug and a line of hose routed a
gang Of street railway laborers who were
trying to lay a track on the streets.
The track was being placed by the Chi
cago & Milwaukee Electric company, which
is not popular with the people Of Wau-
kegan. When the laborers started this
afternoon TO lay more track a call was
made on the mayor to have him put a stop
to the work. The mayor could not be
found. Al injunction was sought, but no
Judge was in the city and then the citi-
zens rushed for the hose.
A stream was turned on the workmen.
who stood it for a few minutes and then
ran.
The attorney of the railway company
came along.
He held his hand in the air and said:
II demand peace"
They gave him water and he was nearly
drowned before he could get out Of the
reach Of the stream.
The workmen were then driven entirely
from the street and tonight pickets are
posted to keep the railroad company from
stealing a march and laying the track.
The matter will be fought out in the
courts on Monday.

Mrs. Mccoy was one of the old settlers
Of Douglas county and was identified prom

was born in New London. o., January rs.
1919, and was married to George A. Mccoy
at Wellsville, o., where she was raised.
November 25, 1884. She moved to Cincin-
natl, O., in 1914 and to Omaha in 1855. That
year Mrs. Mccoy organized the first Sunday
school in the village, which met in her
house. She was a devoted member Of the
Methodist Episcopal church and showed
her faith by her works. After the organl-
zation of the Sunday school in Omaha she
organized the first Sunday school at Tecum-

site of the Seward Street Methodist church,

A. 60 Live stock Rates.
The Associated Press report from Chi
cago that the Santa Fe had proposed TO
competing lines that live stock rates from
Missouri river points be advanced from II
cents per 100 pounds to 1874 cents calls for
considerable discussion in Omaha. The
action Of the Santa Fe is generally re-
garded as an effort to get the rates back
to their normal basis and squirm out OF
an unpleasant position as gracefully as
possible. So far none Of the freight men
here have received official advice respect
ing this matter.
The rates on live stock from Omaha, as
from other Missouri river points. are 23ia
cents a hundred. Last August when the
Great Western lowered rates on packing
house products the Santa Fe cut the live
stock rate from 1914 to IL cents, but the
other roads failed to follow suit entirely.
1t had no full endorsement at Omaha and
It is not likely, freight men say, that any
action the Santa Fe may inaugurate will
vitality affect conditions here. The rates
doubtless will not be disturbed.
