Best Spring Remedy Ever Formulated
Paine's Celery Compound
Miss E. NJ. Swan Completely Cured Of Terrible Blood
Troubles That Doctors Gould Not Relieve

In the month of May, it Is an abso-
lutte necessity that the body should be
furnished with a richer and purer sup
ply of blood for the establishment of
a health that can successfully cope
with the enerving effects of hot sum-
mer weather. Poor blood in May pro-
duces listless, ambitionless, sleepless,
and sallow-faced men and women who
quickly become victims of some organic
disease that ends life.
Intelligent people recognize the ne
cessty of cleansing and terrifying the
system in May by using Paine's Celery
Compound which speedily removes all
poisons from the system, and gives to
the thin, watery blood a larger pro-
portion of red corpuscles and arouses
all the organs of the body to healthy
action. Paines Celery Compound does
a work for victims of impure blood that
commands the attention of the most
eminent medical men in the world.

SOME BAND POLITICS.
An Interesting Contest for Appoint
ment as Regimentai Band.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, May 1.-THE Webster
City concert band has made formal
decision to enter the race for the ap-
pointment as regimental band III .he
Fifty-sixt regiment which posltloIl
has just been made vacant by the mus
tering out Of the Algona band.
The Sioux City and Fort Dodge bands
were heretofore considered the Leading
ones in the race. Sioux City would
have had a wa!k-away in the matter
had it not been for the unfortunate oc-
curance in 1898 at the outbreak OF the
SpaniShAmerican war. The Sioux
City band was then the Fifty-slXtn
regimental band and had the reputa-
ton of being by far the best band IN
the state and was the pride of the regi-
ment At the call of troops to go to
the front the members Of this band,
however, refused to enlist and were i'm
mediately mustered out by their inoig-
nant colonel.
1t is understood that Colonel Hum
phrey has the appointment of the regi-
mental band. Webster City, so it is
thought, has or ought to have, consid-
able influence in regimental affairs
Major ]. w. Lee, who is a resident OF
the city, is we'll known in state mill
tary circles. as is also Captain n. z.
Hyatt of Company c. of this city, who
is one of the most popular captains in
the regiment. Captain Will +. Smith
of small arms practice in the regimen
is also resident of the city and should
have his share of influence with the
others. Captain Hyatt has appeared
before the band and personally urged
the organization to enter the race. The
appointment of the Webster City con-
cert band to the position sought would
mean considerable to the city. The
state makes the same financial allow
ance-S300-to regimental mand as II
does to company of militia. Should
the local band get the appointment IN
all probability the band ana Company
C would soon be able 20 erect an ar
mory here which could be USED exclu-
sively by the two organizations.
strong campaign for the appointment
will be carried on in this city until the
matter Is finally settled.
