A Good Record.

Joseph Canutt. the republican
sheriff of Whitman county, has
certainly made record during his
present term that any sheriff might
we'll feel proud of. Aside from run
ming his Office at an expense of
$76790 less than the appropriation
made by the county commissioners,
Mr.. Canutt has arrested more than
$50 persons during the 10 months
of his ncumbency. He has taken
10 persons to the penitentiary and
and has collected over $500 in
fines from persons convicted of run
ming "bootlegging joints" keeping
open saloon on Sunday, selling
liquor to minors, and kindred of
lenses. There are still eleven Grim
inal cases on the docket. lf
When that record is compared
with the term of J. B. MacKay, the
democratic sheriff, there are abso
lutely no words to express the diff
ference. During his term Mr..
Mackay arrested lat persons and
took six to the penitentiary. There
have been no felony convictions in
the superior court the past two
years, the records showing that the
persons sentenced to the peniten-
tiary all plead guilty, as the result
of the evidence secured against
by the sheriff's office. Several of
the six which Mr. Mackay took to
the pen were convicted in open
court by evidence secured by the
prosecuting attorneys office. Joe
Davis, the democratic nominee for
sheriff, was the riding deputy under
J. B. Mackay.
Two years ago Mr.. Canutt prom
Used the people of Whitman county
that he would enforce the law as he
found it; that he would close gam
bling in Whitman county, stop the
selling of liquor to minors and
close the saloons on Sunday. He
has kept his promise and kept it

he will be elected by larger plu-
rality this year than he received
two years ago, when he led the re-
publican county ticket.

Cause of Lockiaw.

Lockjaw or tetanus is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps
rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is reused to acti V
ity and produces the most v~irulent
known. These germs may be
destroyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain g
Pain Balm freely as soon as the IN
jury is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to heal without ma
turation and in one-third the time re-
luired by the usual treatment. 1t is
