are that over forty representative citf-
zens and taxpayers see the benefit such
a road would be and have gladly signed
the petition. a-
The road asked for is located on a
section line, and is where a road would

So uniformly successful has Dr.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription proven in all forms
of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after over
a third of a century's experience IN curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
facilitating ailments, DR.. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
IT STANDS ALoNE.-The rFavorite Pre-
scription" stands alone, as the one and
only remedy for these distressingly COM
mon forms of weakness, possessed of such
positively specific curative properties as to
warrant its makers in proposing, and
binding themselves to forfeit, as we, the
undersigned proprietors of that wonderful
remedy hereby do, to pay the sum of $500
in legal money of the United States in any
case of the above diseases in which after a
fair and reasonable trial of our treatment
we fail to cure. No other medicine for
the cure of wonan's peculiar ailments Is
backed by such remarkable guarantee I;
no other medicine for wonnan's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative prop
critics that would warrant its manufacturers
in making such an offer no other remedy
has such a record of cures on which to base
such remarkable offer.
Therefore, f,sSi5f on having DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and turn your back
on any INSCRIPTIONS dealer who would
insulr your intelligence by attempting to
foist upon you some inferior substitute,
under the plea that at is just as good.
Insist on having the article which has a
record OF third of century of cures and
which is backed by those willing to forfeit
$500 if they cannot cure you
In cases attended by a leucorTheal drain
a solution of DR.. Pierce's Lotion Tablets
should be used conf ointly with the use of
the "Favorite Prescription" They are sold
by all druggists, or sent postpaid to any
address, on receipt of IS cents in stamps
Send 81 cents in stamps for DR.. Pierce's

HEARST OR PARKER.
Old Populist Wheelhorse Tells
Where He Stands.

Representative S. I. Hale of Rush
county, who is one of the Populist
wheel horses of the state, is for either
Parker or Hearst for president. He be-
Iieves that the Populists will generally
support the Democratic ticket the COM
ing year. He is also for Senator Harry
Mcmillan of Ottawa county for COVER
nor, if Mcmillan wants it-this on the
supposition that Senator Harris will
not make the race.
Il am for the man for president who
can be elected over Roosevelt" said Mr..
Hale today. IF Hearst can carry Cali
fornia I think he should be the nominee.
If not 1 believe Parker would be the
most available candidate. If we can
get a Democrat who can carry New
York, New Jersey, Maryland, Ken
lucky and California, the doubtful
states, he can be elected. Mckinley
carried these states before and they
elected him.
L am inclined to think that Hanna
would be a stronger candidate for the
Democrats to beat than Roosevelt. If
Hanna should be nominated by the Re
publicans he could doubtless get a cam
paign fund of millions upon millions OF
dollars, while Roosevelt cannot get half
as much as Mckinley had. The BUSH
ness interests of the country are going
to be against Roosevelt. The trusts are
against him not because they are afraid
he will do something directly against
ing something to injure the value of
their stocks. The moneyed interests Of
the country have always elected the
president-that is, a president has never
been elected who has been actively OPP
posed by the money interests"
Then you believe that the man with
the largest campaign fund and the most
money behind him will be elected?'
1T always has been So" replied Mr.
Hale. For that reason Hanna would
be a more formidable candidate than
Roosevelt. If Hanna should be nomi-
mated by the Republicans the Demo-
Gratis would not get the support of the
money interests. Hearst would make
good Democratic candidate because he
has the money of his own with which
to conduct a campaign"
Mr.. Hale does not now think that he
will be a candidate for state senator
against Fred Dumont Smith, as he
thought of being some time ago.
Il am for Judge Andrews of Lacrosse
for state SENATOR" said Mr.. Hale. He
is able to make the campaign and would
make good senator. I believe Senator
Smith can be beaten, particularly If he
makes the race on his tax bill issue.
The people of the western part of the
state are against that tax bill, and the
man who advocates it will go down in
defeat"

STANDARD OIL PLAN.
To Erect a Tank of $4,000 Barrels
Ce9acity at humboldt.

Humboldt, Kan. Dec. 29-The Standard
Oil company is looking for favorable 10
cation for big oil tank in Humboldt
where the oil can be stored when the
pipe line is not able to care for it. The
pipe line has proved itself too small for
the business offered to it and there is
a larger pipe capable of carrying all the
oil that is offered. The company says
they will erect a tank in Humboldt hold
ing $1,000 barrels of oil and when the pipe
line oYerfiows and. can not care for the
surplus product it will be stored in this
tank and then if things get too binding
the oil can be shipped on the railroad so
as to relieve the congestion.
The Standard has a large tank at Cha
mute, but the Humboldt field is proving
equally good as the one around Cha
mute, SO another tank will be necessary.

Among the many sorts of people
one meets in the newspaper business
one OF the most annoying is the non
subscriber who makes a BUSINESS OF
happening in the print shop on press
day. This individual never seems
10 have any business in the Office
except when the paper is being prin.
ted, and then he forgets to tell any
of the "Push what he wants, and
also to manifest any interest in the
operation of the machinery; but as
soon as possible he gets hold of a
copy OF the current issue of the pap
err, and from then till he has gone
through its columns he is totally
oblivious TO all that is going on.
When he has read all the items of
interest he walks off chuckling over
his shrewdness is thus getting the
start Of the publisher, whom he
supposes does not catch on. This
chap is full brother to the public
spirited citizen who borrows the To-
cal paper from the widow woman
who washes and and sews for a
living, and has the misfortune to
live next door to him. The pair
have a juvenile relation or two who
every chance they get sneak intothe
theater or place of amusement with.
out paying for it. Now reader it is
no use of you getting mad" about
this, if you are a subscriber, and
have paid for your paper or intend
ed to do so you are no relation to
the people we have been showing up
and if you are one of the chaps that
borrows the paper from your neigh |
Dor or swipes the news from the
print shop on press day, you ought
10 be ashamed of yourself; that is if |
you are able to pay for it, and il you
are not, rather than have you resort
to such questionable means of get,
ting it; if you will call at the Record
office and acknowledge that you are
guilty and repent we VIZ give you
the paper; There now how will
