Election Contest.

It is not always the strictest construction of the law which is the greatest safeguard of equity. The judge who is presiding over the court which is examining the protested ballots in New York City made the ruling that, al- though the election laws define a valid voting mark as one straight line crossing another straight line, a ballot will not necessarily be held invalid because the marks which constitute the cross are not straight or even or regular. The ballot is regarded as valid if there is substantial compliance with the law, without a manifest intent to evade or violate it. This decision certainly makes for justice.

A Wh0pper.

Sir Thomas Lipton, at a dinner in Chicago, praised Americas s bigness.
 "I once heard," he said, "a Dakotan talk about the big farms they have out there.
 We've some sizeable farms, he said thoughtfully. Yes, sir, pretty sizeable. I've seen man on one of our big farms start out in the spring and blow a straight furrow till fall. Then he turned around and harvested back.
 Wonderful said 1.
 "'On our Dakota farms, he went on, Its the usual thing to send young married couples out to milk the COWS. Their chil- dren bring home the milk
 "'Wonderful, l repeated.
 "'Once.' he said, I saw a Da- kota farmers family prostrated with grief. The women were weeping, the dogs were barking, the children were squalling, and the tears streamed down the mans face as he got into his twenty mule team and drove off
 Where was he going?' said 1.
 "'He was going half way across the farm to feed the pigs, said the Dakotan.
 "'Did he ever come back?' 1 asked.
 "'It ain't time for him yet, was the reply. Sunday Times.

A Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy one of Dr. Pierce's family medicines-for all the in- gradients entering into them are printed on the bottle-wrapperS and their formula are attested under oath as being complete and correct. You know just what you arc paying for and that the ingredients are gathered from Natures laboratory, being selected from the most valuable native medicinal roots found growing in our American forests and while potent to cure are perfectly harmless even to the most delicate women and>children. Not drop of alcohol enters into their composition. A much better agent is used both for eX- tracting and preserving the medicinal principles used in them, viZ.-pure triple refined glycerine. This agent possesses intrinsic medicinal properties of its own, being a most valuable anti-Septic and anti ferment, nutritive and soothing demul- cent.
 Glycerine plays an important part in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and weak stomach, attended by sour risingS, heart burn, foul breath, coated tongue, poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom- ach. biliousncsS and kindred derange- ments of the stomach: liver and bowels.
 Besides curing all the above distressing ailments, the "Golden Medical Discovery" is a specific for all diseases of the mucous membranes, as catarrh, whether of the nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels or pelvic organs. Even in it's ulcerative stages it will yield to this sovereign rem edy if it's use be persevered in. In Chronic Catarrh of the Nasal passages, 1t is well, while taking the "Golden Medical Dis covery" for the necessary constitutional treatment, to cleanse the passages freely two or three times day with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course of treatment generally cures the worst cases.
 In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron- chial throat and lung affections, except con sumption in its advanced stages. the "Golden Medical Discovery" is most efficient rem edy. especially in those obstinate. hang-on coughs caused by irritation and congestion of the bronchial mucous membranes The "DlS- covery" is not so good for acute coughs aris- ing from sudden colds. nor must 1t be eX- pected to cure consumption in its advanced stageS-no medicine will do that-but for all the obstinate. chronic coughs. which. if neg lected. or badly treated. lead up to consump- tion, 1t is the best medicine that can be taken.

Since MT. Rogers and MT. Archbold have been quoted as estimating the income of John D. Rockefeller at sixty million year, enterprising statisticians have been figuring out it's possi- bilities.
 Capitalized at five per cent, Rockefeller's wealth amounts to one billion two hundred million dollars. At the average wages paid in manufacturing establish ments it would require the labor of 2,250,000 persons year to earn like amount. Each time MT. Rockefeller sleeps eight hours he awakes $54, 720 richer.
 If the things that can be pur- chased with money were not so sadly limited-if one could buy health, happiness, real friend ship, respect and honor, what a fortunate man MT. Rockefeller would be.

 thing that will tend to stop wars, riots, strikes and conflicts be- tween capital and labor; every thing that will make the children of the rich kinder to the poor, and the children of the poor kinder to the rich: everything that will tend to relieve suffering and make this world Of ours a happier one for every creature that lives, both human and dumb.

At Last the Road to Yuma
(San Diego Sun )

At last San Diego is to have it's greatest wish. The direct line of railway 70 Yuma is now a certainty, and will be an accom- plished fact in the near future. The good news is given in detail elsewhere in these columns this morning, and will doubtless be deemed the most important an nouncement ever made to the people of this city.
 One need not be sanguine or visionary to predict for San Diego as rapid a growth from this time forward as has ever been enjoyed by any town in the land. This city has all the re- quisites for great commercial port, save one-a direct avenue from tidewater to the east. It has long been realized that once this were supplied, San Diego would speedily assume the place in the world of trade to which it's superb natural advantages should entitle it. This is a sub- feet that is so well understood that there is no occasion to dwell upon it. Everybody who IS ac- oualnted with conditions in San Diego can form at least some conception of what direct line of railway from the only harbor on the Pacific coast south of San Francisco will mean for the city possessing that harbor.
 San Diego has waited many years for this road. It has often been disappointed but has never given up hope. The confidence which the people here have dis played, in the face of obstacles that at times seemed insupera- ble, and of the ever ready ridicule of neighbors less fortunately sit uated, is now shown to have been fully warranted.
 The year that is just closing has been memorable for rapid growth and great undertakings in this city. It's phenomenal building operations were sup plemented by the settlement of the water question, so long an obstacle to the city's growth. Now that these results are fol lowed by definite, tangible plans for the prompt construction of the long desired railway to Yu- ma, San Diego may we'll regard the year 1906 as marking the turning point in it's history and ushering in an era of stupendous development and progress.

Hospitality.


 Our town is noted far and wide for it's hospitality and cor diality. Man meets his fellows here with a Good morning, James; how are you feeling this morning?" while the answer is waited back: "Quite well, l thank you" The good women, as they toll during the greater part of the day in looking after the domestic duties, hum a merry tune the while, because 'tlove lightens labor" And over their teacups at an afternoon function, or around some family circle, banded together as club, they discuss topics alone intended tc Nlevate their race.

Pay Cash.

If every business man in our town could do business on a strictly cash system it would be a blessing to us all. If we all had to pay cash we would learn to live within our means. It would save business men the ex- pense of bookkeepers and the loss of bad debts, all of which some one has to pay for. If our town could gradually work into a strictly cash system it would be better for us all.

An Editors Snake Story.

Yesterday between II and 1 o'clock
when everything was quiet in the Land
mark Office and the editor was shOv-
ing a pencil for all he was worth,
something dropped through the hole
where the water pipe enters overhead
and struck the floor of the room with
noise enough to attract attention. TIE
editor stopped and looked. There on
the floor was snake, u to 18 inches
long, with his head raised and his
tongue darting in and out of his red
mouth. There is only one thing to do
to snake and the editor looked for a
weapon. After he had started on the
snake he bethought himself. Some
times there are evil-minded persons
who will intimate that those who
claim to see snakes do not see them ::
that it is an illusion which is said to
be produced by too free use of SOW
paw. Even in this dry town that sus-
picion sometimes attaches to people,
and to save his reputation for what
ever it is worth, the editor left the half
dead snake and called in Mr.. Cicero
Johnson, the pressman of the estab-
I1shment to See the snake and bear
witness that it was a genuine snake.
To this fact Mr.: Johnson will make
affidavit. The snake was then killed
and thrown into the street.
Whence he came and where he was
going We know not. Experts who ex-
amined the carcass said it was a gar
ter snake. We don't know; all snakes
look alike to uS-StatesviIle Land
mark.
