If you have any itchiness of the skin,
Irritating Eczema, itching piles;
You're looking for relief,
Searching for a cure.
Mankato people have found cure for
itching skin diseases.
They tell about it. Read what this
citizen, says:
Mrs. ]. Jessup, of 3O7 Minnesota
street, says: "My son, was afflicted
with breaking out of painful rash
which burned like fire and the more he
rubbed it the worse it became. He had
been doctoring for it for some time be-
fore he got Doan's Ointment from j. c.
Thro, but when he applied this remedy
it cured it at once. My daughter also
used Doan's Ointment in her family, her
children have eczema and the affliction
quickly disappeared. | consider this a
most reliable preparation for any itch
ing affection"

The board yesterday also completed
the valuation of household goods and

Today the board will consider dia-
monds and jewelry, gold and silver plate
The returned valuation of diamonds
and jewelry for the state for 1904
amounts to $254,2Il. The assessed valu-
alton for 1908 was $360, 500. The valu-
alton on this class of goods will probab-
ly be raised about 10 per cent above that
of last year.
The returned valuation on gold and
silver plate for the state for this year
is $16l,704. Last years assessed valu-
alton amounted to $339,963. This item
also will probably be raised to exceed
last years valuation by about 10 pei

price from S. to $40, and the costumes
from $50 to 1925. The prices are lower
than the same goods can be bought for
in the cities. A great many styles are in
vogue this fall, including the full
length, three -fourths and forty-iive inch
coats. There is no leading style above
all others. The tourist coats and rain
coats in full length are selling by the
hundreds. One of the prettiest suits
in the stock is the new onion peel shade
of broadcloth, with white vest. This suit
was made from a Paquin model, The
white opera coats are pretty, as well as
the veloue, brown and green suits.
The line of furs is up-to-date and very
attractive Fur scarfs are shown in
Persian lamb, martin, otter, beaver.
gray squirrel, American and gray fox,
German fox, mole skin and stone mar
tin. Some are in collar shapes, to pro-
tect the face from wintry blasts. There
is pretty mole skin set. The fifty
inch fur lined cloth coats with fur col
lars are warm enough for automobilin2
in winter. The real seal jackets range
in price from 1925 to $3.50, and the otter
from $3.50 to $l75. The Persian lamb,
mink trimmed, makes a very pretty
jacket.
We have mentioned only very few
of the many hundreds of articles in the
big and popular store, and as for the
rest, we can only suggest to our read
crs that they attend the opening next
Tuesday evening or later in the week
and inspect the stock themselves.

NO CAUSE FOR A PLANT.
County Candidates Were Generally
Successful at Primaries.
From Tuesdays Daily.

There has been some complaint on the
part of residents of the more rural
parts of the county, that the city of
Mankato captured most of the republican
nominations for county offices, at the
recent primary election. This is true,
but it is equally true that the Man
kato candidates had no better privilege
of filing for nomination than did those
of the country, and it is true too, that
the vote of every rural or village resi-
dent counted just as much as did the
vote of any resident of the city of
Mankato.
Following is the list of the county
nominees on the republican ticket living
in the city: Edgar Weaver, auditor;
T. w. Hart, treasurer; Benedict Ban
gerter, Jr., register of deeds; S. =. Will
son, county attorney; w. f. Hughes,
Judge of probate; Walter f. Brooks,
county surveyor; f. r. Kennedy, coro-
ner
Republican nominees, living outside of
the city of Mankato, for the county Of
fees. are: Nicholas Juliar of MankatO
township, John T. Lewis of JudsOn and
f. w. Gates of Garden City, legislative
representatives; Bennett Williams of
Judson, sheriff; Stephen Thorne of Lake
Crystal, clerk of the court; and Oscar
O. Ulvin of Dccoria, county superintend-
ent. The commissioners are not in
cluded in this list, because they arc not
voted for over the county at large.
1t is the most natural thing in the
world that the people whose homes are
at the county seat should be more eager
for office, and should be the reader to
file for it, than those living at some dis
lance away If elected, they do not need
to 90 to the trouble and expense of NOV
ing their homes to the county seat.
Moreover, the largest community in the
county is apt to have the greatest num-
Der of candidates, even for its size, mas
much as the candidates can do their cleo
pioneering there with the least of diff
Guilty, not being obliged to travel miles
to see few voters. Furthermore, the
candidates residing in the most thickly
populated parts of the county are nat
urally possessed of personal acqualnt-
ance with greater number of people,
than would be possible for candidates
living where the county is more sparse
ly settled. This wide personal acquaint-
ance is, as everybody knows,a powerful
vote getter.
Other counties, as rule, show the
same state of affairs as does the county
of Blue Earth in this respect. In Mic
olIet county, for instance, nearly all the
county officers are st. Peter men.
The same arguments hold good with
| respect to larger political divisions than
the county. In the sixth judicial district
the nominee for the judgeship is a man
living in Mankato the largest settlement
within the boundaries, and the same is
true of the second congressional dis
trict.
1t should be borne in mind that a
Mankato candidate for the Legislature
was defeated at the primaries. Had he
received the support of the people of this
city his nomination would have result
