the situation grows worse as spring APP

Vermont game and birds Deer, rabbits
and grouse are very dead in the woods
in unusually large quantities. Reports

other cattle, larger numbers are found

A Blaze.

The bunk house at Simp Harp's
ranch adjoining town, was burned to
the ground last Sunday night about
1880. The house had not been used
for some time, but on the evening In
question fire was started In the
stove and 1t is the suppositiOn that
the heat became intense enough to
fire the structure which was of frame
and rather infiamable.
The building WAS ablaze before the
fire was discovered and it and the
contents were soon consumed by the
frey element.
A good deal OF clothing and other
personal effects of Mr.. Harp and
some Of his men were destroyed.
Promp discovery Of the fire and
favorable winds prevented the spread
OF the flames to the Harp residence
and outbuildings.
All the other buildings on the ranch
were insured.

/ avail myself Of this method of
thanking you for your assistance In
the campaign just closed, and for
your cordial support at the election.
The Republicans who SO magnani-
mously laid aside and ignored their
political preferences, and voted for
me because am their neighbor and
friend, have by SO doing, placed me
under lasting obligations to them;
and to say 1 am grateful to them and
heartily appreciate their kindness, Is
but partial expression of my feel
ings toward them.
To my Democratic friends, who
gave me their loyal support for the
nomination and at the election; who
devoted their time, talent, energy
and means to my support and the
support of the entire Democratic
ticket, I owe much greater debt
than can be paid by return of ser
vices: hence, all can offer them In
return for the invaluable service
rendered me, is my sincere thanks
and lasting gratitude.
will refer with pride to the cam
paign Of 1904, and point to the large
majority Of l55 votes given me at

Cause of Lockiaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plen-
tifully In street dirt. 1t Is inactive
SO long as exposed to the air, but
when carried beneath the skin, rs In
the wounds caused by percussion caps
or by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is aroused to ac-
tivity and produces the most virulent
poison known. These germs may be
destroyed and all danger Of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain's
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 mat
uration and In one-third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. For

1t Didn't Win.

Eugene Grub, Republican cansi-
date for stnts senator, was circulat-
ing around Eagle county this week
In company with J. L. Herwick Of
Garfield county, but formerly Of
Eagle county. The latter fact would
he sufficient alone to defeat any cam
dldate for Office In the estimation Of
any person who knows Mr.. Herwick
well. Evil communications corrupt
good manners, runneth the proverb.
Mr.. Grubb never possessed very good
manners even before he started trav-
cling with Herwick. Gene was clad
In suit Of clothing which might
have originally cost six dollars and
which exhibited evidence of consid-
cradle wear and tear; his pantaloons
were about three inches too short
and his shirt was of the 88-cent va
riety. This exhibition Of hypocrisy
WAS made In an attempt to impress
our ranchmen with the idea that
Grubb was one of them. AS mat
ter of fact the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, one of the dirtlest corpora
tions that ever disgraced any state by
endeavoring to control politics, is
trying to defeat Edward 4. Taylor,
our present senator from the 2lst
district, because he was fearless
enough in the performance of his
duties to his constituents to incur
their displeasure. The big corpora
tiou wants man rs senator who will
pliantly do its work, and 1t has there
fore selected Mr.. Grubb. Stockmen
are assured that Mr.. Grubb, II he is
elected, will look after their interests,
and this In spite of the fact that upon
previous occasion he betrayed
them. The people of this district
will take NO chancas- on Mr.. Grubb,
but will support Mr.. Taylor in whom
they have onfldence.-Eagle County
Enterprise.
But to the credit of the Eagle VAL
ley farmers and stockmen, be 1t said,
Grubb could not fool them. His
dirty record was before them.

States senator. Those who recall
that campaign will believe he sue
ceeded, because Mr.. Patterson was
the man they supported for that Of
fee. They made a splendid cam
paign for him too. Any time the
Post can't be secured, it is because
the price is too low. They attempted
to secure money from the Democrats
in the spring campaign, but the peo-
pie of Denver, and we hope the state,
are onto their system. Take Steele
the cartoonist away from them and
that paper would have no more in
fiuence than Clay's Review.-Denver

Majority Of the County On

In the District, Taylor, Gentry ind

III VIZ AN0ts~sAs
Summarized the national results
are about as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt was elsCted
president Of the United 4tat~s by a
land slide.
States which would be considFed
normally doubtful belied the asplrs.
tion,b sending in early reporte Of
great Republican gains.
Rooseeelt has carried New Yor$ by
a plurality estimated At 250, 0,00o Ind
he has swept all of the sO-cs3 He'd
doubtful states into the Republs pan
column. Connecticut, New JeEtey,
West Virginia, Indiana, wisconsin
Maryland and Delaware, all t9ese
commonwealths which were supnPsed
to be wavering, have fallen In uRder
the Republican banner.
Congress is Republican by ~ In
creased majority.
In Delaware 1t IL claimed Addicks
has secured the Legislature, and his
long dream Of the senatorshlP Is
likely to be realized.
In New York the legislatute is
comfortably Republican and the ma
jority in both houses Is increased
Higgins is elected governor Of New
York by II plurality Of anywhere be-
y cen $1,000 and 100000.
Massachusetts has elected , Demo-
orotfc rroyarnor hut huo Oaak . Ro-
publican national ballot
Illinois has surpassed itself Ii cast
ing n Republican vote, and caus now
be classed with Pennsylvania In
Chicago, where Carter HARRISON
promised to carry Cook county for
Parker, u plurality Of approximately
100, 600 WAS given the Roosevelt cket.
Thomas r. Watson Of the Pe3ple's
party made a remarkable showing In
Nebraska, running far Alssdd Of
Parker and the Democratic ttcket.
Roosevelt carried the ticket BY %, 600
plurality. The showing Of WatDon Is
thu eosainspf Rf ~ nasiensa asAad-
qaartsrs. .ss ~.
An analysis Of the vote OF New
York city shows that the expected
Democratic pluralities fell far behind
tho hopes Of the leaders. In the state
at large Roosevelt ran far ahead Of
the Mckinley vote, while Parker ran
behind the Bryan vote Of 1900.
The Watson vote and the Social
Democrat vote In their strength sur
prised the leaders of the Demodratic
and Republican parties. Both the
Peoples party and the Socialists
polled heavy votes.

The County Ticket.

More scratched ballots were cast
on Tuesday than ever before in the
history of the county, thus making 1t
almost impossible to give Anything
like accurate figures, as gathered
from the unofficial returns; therefore,
THE HERALD will await the official
count before giving figures. The Of
fetal count will likely be made on
Monday.
On the county ticket, the Demo
Gratis have elected Kilduff and
Crawford commissioners, Watson,
treasurer; Amick, sheriff; Thomp-
son, assessor; Sherivn, Judge; and
Moog, surveyor. The Republicans
have captured the ofIices Of clerk
and recorder, superintendent Of
schools, and coroner, electing 70
these ofnces Scott, Hopkins and
Hubbard.
The Meeker herald. [volume] (Meeker, Colo.) 1885-current, 1904-11-12
The District Ticket.

Taylor, for senator, Lyttle, for rep
resentative, and Gentry, for district
attorney, have carried the county
the latter by large majority.
Taylor and Gentry are elected in
their respective districts, but Lyttle
was caught by the big Republican
vote in ROutt and IL defeated.
The Meeker herald. [volume] (Meeker, Colo.) 1885-current, 1904-11-12
The State Ticket.

Latest returns indicate the election
of Alva Adams and the entire Demo-
cratic state ticket, but 1t will take
the official count to determine the
matter. The unofficial returns would
also indicate the election Of Demo
cratic legislature.
Roosevelt carried the state by a
large plurality.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
Pleasant to Take.

The finest quality Of granulated
loaf sugar is used In the manufacture
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
and the roots used in its preparation
give it IA flavor similar to maple syrup,
making 1t quite pleasant to take.

Remedy with my children for several

Only Make. . Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought of
1t but the fact must be apparent to
every one that constipation is caused
by lack of water in the system, and
the use of drastic cathartics like the
old fashioned pills only makes bad
matter worse. Chamberlain's Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets are much
more mild and gentle in their effect,
and when the proper dose is taken
their action is 80 natural that one
can hardly realize 1t is the effect Of a
medicine. Try 25c bottle of them.
For sale by all druggists.

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets superior to the
ordinary carthartic and liver pills7
Our answer is-They are easier and
more pleasant to take and their eff
feet is SO gentle and so agreeable that
one hardly realizes that 1t is produced
by medicine. Then they not only
move the bowels but improve the ap-
petite and aid the digestion. For
sale at 25 cents per bottle by all drug
