ATTACKS UPON THE SHERIFF
Series of Wild Charges Utterly With
 out Foundation.

A self selected political Umpire" is engaged in a series of attacks upen Sheriff, w. w. Cook, who the Umpire intimates may not be permitted to be renominated in consequence of several acts which the Umpire charges and which he admits at the end of a col umn of abuse, We cannot assert that this is true, but many substantial men strongly urge that such is the case"
 It may be stated in the first place that there is no doubt of the renomina- tion of Sheriff Cook All influential republicans in the county are agreed upon that. There is no other candidate under consideration.
 The main charge against the sher- if is that he has been receiving fees in cases in which arrests of common drunks had been made by the police and the prisoners turned over to the county. It is also charged that there have been instances of policemen hav- ing sworn out warrants before justices of the peace and making arrests up- on them for the benefit of the sheriff It is also charged that the sheriff has deputized all the members of the po- lice force that they may act for him and that when the Umpire. created his furore the sheriff became scared and revoked their appointment.
 As a matter of fact it has been the custom for years to appoint members of the police force deputies, not for the purpose of running up fees for the sheriff, but to give them au- thority which they could not in certain. cases exercise otherwise. No appoint ments of policemen have been reVok- cd by Sheriff Cook.
 = But the main accusation is that cas- es which ought tolhave been disposed of in police Court without fees have been Transferred to the county. There has not been an instance of such a transfer during the administration of Sheriff Cook. It is true that cases have come up from justices courts which perhaps ought not to have come up. but that was not the fault of the sheriff or any of his deputies. Now and then a case is brought from the city for the reason that the crime with

 It is alleged in the complaint that the defendants have sent out to clients of the plaintiff and others letters Of a defamatory character, calculated to injure the business of the plaintiff.

One of the letters is made a part of the complaint. In it the attention of the corporation to which it is sent and whose incorporation had been eff fected by the plainti34 company is called to the. fact that the appointment of a resident agent has not been filed as the law of the territory requires and that therefore the corporation is liable to dissolution on the motion of the attorney general or Of any resident of the territory. It is pointed out in the letter that the fee of $3 for the filing of this appoint ment has probably been retained by the plaintiff, which neglected to per- form all the legal services it had been paid to perform.

"The square peg F the round hole" hguratively expresses the use of means unsuited to the desired end. A great many people who have been cured of dyspepsia and other diseases of the stonl- ach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition by the use Of Dr. Pierce's GolGen Medical Discovery say: "We tried many medicines with only temporary berelit. It was not until we began the use of Golden Medical Discovery that we found complete and lasting cure"
 It is undoubtedly true that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery holds the rec ord for the perfect and permanent cure of indigestion and other diseases of the stomach and associated organs of diges- tion and nutrition. It is not palliative. It cures the cause of disease and builds up the body with solid healthy flesh, not labby fat.

"Cumpie" Sherman Resented Disloy-
atty to the Flag.
When Gen. Sherman was a small
boy one of his intimate playfellows
was James G. Blaine. The two boys,
together with Hoyt, a younger brother
of the general, were out driving one
day, when, as they passed flag wav-
ing in the breeze, Jimmie Blaine
placed a thumb on the tip of his nose
and made a very disrespectful gesture
toward the banner.
did you mean to do that at the
aag?" demanded "Cumpie" Sherman,
his loyalty outraged.
Yes, did," declared Jimmie stout
1y.
well, if you do it again I'll put you
OUT
Nothing more was said. and the
drive proceeded enjoyably. On the
way home the flag was passed again
and again Jimmie Blaine put his
thumb to the tip of his nose, and so
forth.
Cumpie refined in the horse, took
the struggling Jimmie and gently but
firmly lifted him out of the wagon
Then, in spite of Hoyt's remonstrance
that that was not the proper way to
treat a guest, he drove off, leaving
Jimmie to tramp the ten miles home
