newspaper whole year without
paying for it and then return it
through the postotfice marked "re-

Proposed Changes in the Primary Law.

Hon S. N. Sample, one of the
Representatives from Holmes, has
introduced an amendment to the
primary law, making several very
important notifications. He's from
the home conrly OF ex. Senator Noel,
author of the present law, VIII"
heartily favors all the proposed
changes. Among the changes pro
posed are:
/. No nomihation without a
majority Of the popular vote, and
the total elimination of the electoral
feature OF the presrLt law, and no
submission to a primary election
when there is but one candidate for
all office, nnconte>led. nominations
being declared by executive COM
mlttces when time for submission
of names of candidates has elapsed.
Q. The law is cleared of all am
bigulty in regard TO qualification oe
voters.Z Those who can vote for
nominees,if otherwise qualiiieu, can
vote for nominations, doing away
with the idea of registration four
months before the primary election.
3. The regulation as to expenses
to be paid by candidates are made
explicit and binding. All money
collected from candidates in excess
of what is required to- printing and
tickets must b. refund
ed after the last primary.
4. Employment Of persons to
canvass for candidates is prohihted,
though, of course. ,nis doc, Hot ln-
tertere with any ones ,olun AIRY and
service for "A friend or
principle.
5. The date for the meeting o,
the executive committees to appoint
precinct officers is fixed for Two
weeks before any regular primary
election, aud the election officers are
required, when practicable, to be
selected from supporters of compet>
ing candidates, so tha, all conflict
ing interests may be represented at
,he polls.
Several other doubtful provisions
have been maize clear.

 You may secure the same relief as Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui as she took 1t. Thedford's Black Draught is the companion medicine of Wine of Cardui and it is liver and bowel regulator which assists greatly in effecting cure. If you take these medicines according to directions, the relief and cure is simple. Some cases are cured quickly and others take longer because the disease has run longer. Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine of Cardui and has health. The same medicines are offered you to-day.

From Thence Il Passed Through
Body Of New York Girl and
Was Finally Removed.

Large Substance Passing

lar Manner.

New York, May ia,--A piece Of lead
pencil two and a half Inches long and
sharpened to needle pont has been
removed from the right hand of Rosa
lie X. Lake, u nine-year-old Brooklyn
school girl, The pencil had been
working Its way about the ehild's
body since January last when she
swallowed It while at play. Efforts to
remove II from her stomach then
proved OF no avail and for seveal
weeks she has complained OF pains In
the side and shoulder. Finally the
objec. moved down through her arm
and caused the hand to swell. The
doctors were greatly astonished upon
applying the lancet and encountering
the hard piece OF pencil. They say
there is no record Of so large sub
stance passing through the human
body In a similar manner.
