Republicans of Lincoln have Just had
an experience with a primary election
apparently carried by ballots cast by
nOn-registered voters on perjured
certte cates which has doubtless opened
their eyes to the possibilities of the
case and made them realize better how
the primaries in Omaha were carried
last fall by the Mercernaries. Out of
some 1900 votes more than 900 came
from men who swore they had e
lected to register because Of sickness
or absence from the city, while in one
district fifty votes more were polled at
the primary than were polled by repub-
lican candidates at the last election
That the certificate loophole is the

Lots of Opinion

Secretary of State Dunbar yester

Clark commission for $3.50. for the
printing Of a resolution passed by the
recent Trans-Mississippi Commercial
Congress. asking the national congress
TO appropriate 100000 for the expo
sition. $25O.O0O for a Lewis and Clark
memorial building. and $4,000 for a
Chemawa Indian school exhibit. The
secretary declined 10 allow the bill, for
the reason that II did not appear 10 be

provides shall be paid from the appro-

The natural reluctance which every

to let her illness run on until II be
came chronic. and even the excellent
doctor whom she employed could give
her no relief that was permanent.
She writes as follows concerning a
case that will interest hundreds of
women and every husband whose
wife is oillng:
IL felt the trouble a long time be-
fore | went to our doctor, perhaps a

Week after week took the doctors
medicine, but continued to feel
worse and worse. On several occa.
sions was confined TO my bed for a
week at a time. My weight decreased
to 102 pounds and seemed. a con-
firmed invalid.
"One day read OF case similar TO

No discovery OF modern times has
proved such a blessing TO women as
DR.. williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. Acting directly on the blood and
nerves, invigorating the body, regu-
lating the functions. they restore the
strength and health in the exhausted
patient when every effort OF the ply

are sold in boxes at so cents a box

the act must be literally construed.
That a reasonable amount OF advertis-
ing is necessary and proper to further

readily conceded. and the manner
thereof is to be determined by the
commission. The claim under consld.
