Who can not stand the shocking
strain Of laxative syrups and ca
thartic pills are especially fond of
Little Early Risers. ALI persons
who find it necessary to take a
liver medicine should try these
easy pills, and compare the agree
ably pleasant and Strengthening
effect with the nauseating and
weakening conditions following
the use Of other remedies. Little
Early Risers cure biliousness,
constipation, sick headache, jaun-
dice, malaria and liver troubles.

Investigation Demanded.
In Practically Every Gaze.
AT the meeting of the Noun

At the meeting of the Mounds
vile council Thursday evening
the Mayor, George G. Knight,
presented a statement to the effect
that the stories that had been cir
culated about him asserting that
he had been guilty of graft should
he investigated. He demanded
that the matter be gone into by
council and his reputation clear
ed. The story was to the effect
that he had got money from sa-
loon keepers and the owners OF
slot machines. The council per-
mitted the filing Of the charges,
and will look into the matter.

HOW TO STOP pEDDLING.
Justices and Assessors Have the
Power To Do So.

This county, like many others In
the State, is overrun with ped
oilers. The interests of the bust
ness men and permanent residents
of the county are injured to a con-
siderable extent by these peddlers,
and frequently protests are made
to the Prosecuting Attorney with
| the request that steps be taken to
prevent the practise.
Section 33 of Chapter 80 OF the
code says: "Every person claim
| ing to hold State license of any
kind shall produce the same for
inspection whenever required by
the Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff,
Justice, Collector or Assessor for
the county or assessment district,
and If he refuses to do so shall for
felt SO for every such offense.
If the Assessor and Justice OF
each district would demand OF ev-
cry peddler the right to inspect
their licenses and upon refusal ar
rest the peddler the number would
shortly be decreased. In addition
to the above provision there are
others relating to the peddling
of goods without licenses. 1t is
unfair to censure the Prosecuting
Attorney for permitting the prac-
tise when the law makes it the
duty of other officers to enforce
the law the same as the Prosecut-
ing Attorney, and when their po-
sition is such as to make them
more familiar with those peddling
than the Prosecuting Attorney.
The merchants and those interest
ed in each district should insist
that the Justices and Assessors
enforce the law and an effective
step will have been taken to stop
peddling in this county.

Humor Cure Better Than Pills.

Hum0r Cure Better IMAM Fills.
The poor man was dying with
membraneous- Group,
And still they were dosing with
squills and with soup;
Three doctors had monkeyed two
nights and day,
But nothing availed, he was pass
ing away.
The friends stood about him with
water-soaked eyes,
Their faces distorted with groans
and with signs;
A pet monkey crept from his cage
in the shed,
And joined with the mourners
around the mans bed.
He perched on the footboard and
struck with zest,
His two hands enclosed his sad
face like the rest;
Crocodile tears leakedthrough fin
gers and hair,
His brow was contorted like one
in despair
The man with the Group saw the
humorous side,
And laughed at the ludicreus sight
till he cried;
The lump in his throat shot out
like a ball,
And punctured a hole through a
, two-story wall;
And one monk, saved life with his
humorous pill
Where three of them failed with
their skill and their sq,1ill.
