To The Public.

There is no physician in this en-
tire northwest that is better known
than DR.. Rea. AS a specialist he
has shown positively that he under
stands his business and is master
of his profession. DR.. Rea has
been visiting towns throughout the
northwest for the past ten years.
In that time he has treated and
cured hundreds of patients that
had been given up to die. The best
evidence of his ability are in the
cures which he has performed
among your neighbors and friends
and his continuous visits year in
and year out are ample proof that
he is not a pretender. DR.. Rea in
all cases charges his patients
reasonable fee and gives them
value received. He can be relied
upon as being honest, trustworthy
and not deceiving.
Ludwig Matuscheska, Eau Gale,
Wis, cured of cancer of long stand
ing; his neig hbors and relatives
said if DIR. Rea cures him, he is a
wonder. Mr.. Matuscheska is Il we'll
man to-day, and was cured by DR..
Rea.
Mrs. Otto Ehrlich, SheLoygan,
Wis, was cured of stomach and
liver trouble.
Arnold Tax, 1841-13-St., Sheboy-
gan, Wis, cured of cancer of the
nose.
Mrs. Mary Stensrud, Hammond,
Wis, cured of ulcer of the stomach,
enlarged spleen and liver trouble.
Special to the JoURNAL:-We are
pleased to announce the date of the
next professional visit of DR. Rea to
River Falls at the Parker Hotel
Monday, Sept. 18th. 1t is evident
that DR.. Rea is doing a great and

These are the candidates appar-
emily nominated on the Republican
ticket: Davidson, Conner, Frear,
Dahl, Gilbert. If you will look at
the ballot you will see that these
names occupied the first place for
the office for which they were can
d;dates They were arranged thus ::
For governor-Davidson, Lenroot;
Lieut.. governor-Connor, Strange;
Secretary of state-Frear, Froelich,
Houser; State Treas.-Dahl, How
land, James, Kempf, Thomas; Atty.
general-Gilbert, ingalls,, MCGEE;
Com. of insurance-Beedle, Purtell.
This would seem to show that
position on the ballot had much to
do with the vote. We would not
claim that position of first place
would win the nomination for a
man under all circumstances, but,
other things being equal, this posi-
ton will further the candidates
chances of success. The voter who
had not made up his mind as to the
character of the man seeking the Of
flee would be most likely to mark
the first name. There were un-
dou5tedly thousands of such voters.
If Froelich shall be determined by
the official count to be the nominee
for secretary of state instead of
Frear, Kempf to be the nominee for
state treasurer instead of Dahl, and
Purtell for com. of insurance in
stead of Beadle, there are peculiar
reasons for this that do not obtain in
the case of candidates for other Of
fees. There were some stories in
circulation 'derogatory' to Frear
while Kempf had special attention
directed to his name because he is
the present state treasurer, and Pur-
tell is the assistant insurance COM
missioner.
