For Sale.

Three young bulls of serviceable age.
These fellows are of the Short-Horn
breed and no doubt the best general
purpose cattle there are. We have,
found that we were mistaken about
hampton selling, as Mr.. Cruikshank
kept him for his own use. One of these
calves has that blood. We are offering.
these cattle at about the same price
that they were when land was worth
about half what it now is, and steers
are selling now around the 81 mark.
Good time to invest before they go
higher. The average of the Bellars sale
last week was $41S. JOHN w, LONG.

SAMUEL v. MATTHEWS
SAYS THAT BUILDING AssocIA-
TloNs MUST COMPLY WITH
THE LAW AND AT ONCE.

HUNTINGTON, Nov. 10.-State
Banking Commissioner S. ". Math-
ews says that thirty-one Building and
Loan Associations in, the State have
complied with the new law which
went into effect last May and have
made application for certificates OF
authorization to do business. He has
not yet secured complete list of all
OF these organizations. but Is OF the
opinion that at least twenty have not
obeyed the statute
1t is the intention to commence
proceedings in short time If certifi-
Gates are not applied for. Since the
enactment of this measure many
building and loan associations have
quit business and the number has
been reduced in this manner. A list
of all will be secured in the Office of
the Secretary of State and 1t will be
an easy matter to determine the de.
linquents,
The certificates, which simply au-
thorize the association to transact its
business in the State. cost nothing,
but they are not issued until after a
satisfactory examination has been
made by the banking commissioner.
These examinations are at the ex.
oense of the associations, however.
the same as bank examinations are
at the expense of the banks.
1t is not this fee, which is small,
hat is causing the suspensions or
protests on the part of a number of
associations. 1t is the examinations
that are feared. These concerns that
have been conducted on an honest be
5ls have nothing to fear. Banking
Commissioner Mathews by no means
believes all the associations that have
failed to apply for certificates are
afraid of the examinations. In this
opinion negligence is responsible for
much of the procrastinaton.

WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERTTED.
BY A WELL KNOWN ARTICLE.

So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, of all the
several schools OF practice, in praise
OF the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the composi-
ton of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coyery, that in attempting TO quote
from the various works on Mdterid
Medica one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are SO volumin-
GUS that only the briefest and most inn
perfect reference can be presented in q
short article like this.
Briefly then let us say that the
Golden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root OF which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient, it con-
, talns glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queen Is root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., an emin-
ent practitioner OF Chicago and Profess
sor ~ Mdterid nedica in the Bennett
Medical College OF that city, in his
recently published work on TherApeu-
tics, says OF Golden Seal root: vt is
the most natural of stimulants to the
normal functions OF digestion. Its in
huence upon the mucous surfaces rem
dcrs it most important in catarrhal
gastritis Inflammation of stomach) and
gastric (stomach) ulceratien."
Many other authorities as we'll as DIR.
Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
SeaD, rs remedy for catarrhal dis
eases OF the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof. John King, NJ. D., author
OF the American Dispensatory; Prof.
]. NJ. Scudder, NJ. D., in his Specific
Medication; DR.. Hale OF the Hahne-
mann Med. College Of Chicago; Grover
Coe, NJ. D., of New York, in his rOr-
ganic Medicines DR.. Bartholow OF JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores OF other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues Of Golden
Seal in cases of stomach, liver and in
testinal weakness, torpor and liberation
OF bowels. DR.. Ellingwood recommends
it most highly, "In those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extols it most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
rangements peculiar to women and
many disorders of the womb.n Golden
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
ingredient OF DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, rundown"
women.
But to return to the vGolden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that its cur
alive properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable Us it is,
Us other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood.
root, each plays as important part
in effecting the phenomenal cures OF
nGolden Medical Discovery" as does
Golden Seal. All these ingredients
have the endorsement OF prominent
practitioners of all schools OF medicine
for the cure of diseases Of the bronchia,
throat and lungs.

NEW LEADERS RISE
AS BOSSES" FALL
Admitted That Elements of Strong Pc.
lItieal Organization Are Ready For
Welding Under Hearst.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Revision of
political regulations in the light OF
the latest returns of the city election
took place yesterday. While Charles
F. Murphy and Senator P. H. McCar.
rem had to bear the brunt OF. the criti.
cisms. score OF lesser bosses" came
in for their share.
II was conceded on all sides that
the landslide for the municipal owner.
ship nominees would make William,
Il. Hearst an important factor in both
city and State politics. The belief of
his supporters that Tmmany Hall had
resorted to unfair means to prevent
him from becoming Mayor tended to
increase their resentment against the
Democratic machine, already lnhamed
by the bitterness of the personal at
lacks made upon Mr.. Hearst during
TIE campaign. 1t was admitted on all
sides that the elements of a strong no.
litical organization were ready to be
welded together under Mr.. Hearst's
leadership. and that If they should be
successfully consolidated he might
hope to hold the balance of power in
the next Democratic State convention.
Incidental to the rise of Mr.. Hearst
as a potential leader was the rehabili.
tation of Bird S. Coler in Brooklyn.
Having passed from the anti.McCarren
faction to Tammany Hall and, having
at last become completely isolated, Mr..
Coier has suddenly been placed In con-
troll of the patronages of the second
largest borough in the city. His sue
cess is bitter humiliation to both the
Democratic factions in Brooklyn, as
well as to Tammany.
That his narrow escape from defeat
has been severe blow to Mayor Nc
Ciellan's prestige and to his hope of fu.
ture political advancement was the
verdict of all the political leaders.
Mayor McClellan's fall in three weeks
from position which seemed to make
him reasonably sure of the governor
ship and perhaps of the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency three
years hence was one of the most I'M
expected shifts of political fortune.
District Attorney Jerome's personal
triumph over the bosses has brought
him to the forefront of the political
stage in the opinion of the political
leaders, and the fact is recalled that
Mr.. Jerome during the campaign
made no pledge to serve out his term
as District Attorney in case Of his re-
election. He Is looked upon as the
most formidable of the Democratic
gubernatorial possibilities.
John Ford, whom the Republican
machine Knocked by making him its
choice for mayor when there was no
chance OF his nomination, and turned
Its back upon him when It might have
made him Its candidate, has also made
a great gain In the estimation Of the
politicians. The strength which he
displayed as nominee for Controller
on the Hearst ticket has made him re.
spected by the men who thought they
could afford to ignore him. 6fsS e.
Joseph. Cassidy's downfall in Queens
was one o fthe surprises of the cleo
ton. Cassidy has been absolute dista-
tor ofathe borough since he deposed
John P. Madden. He had repealed cue
cessive reyolts with apparent ease and
the Democratic plurality In the Dor.
