VICTORY FOR THE RECORDJyG yAr

The passage Of the Recording Tax bill is a
notable triumph for progressive ideas in the
Legislature and is highly creditable TO the Re
publican party, which has thus openmindedly
endeavOred 10 adjust its measures TO the de-
mands OF business When we take account of

last Saturday. The Mayor reports
the sanitary condition of Marshall
in as perfect condition as possible.
The war which has been, and is
being made on the mosquito, has
virtually exterminated that health
destroyer and pest. In consequence
of the excellent sanitary condition
the doctors are not rushed nor
worked down. The city council of
Jefferson should look to the sani-
tary condition of this city. All
water holes should be drained, es.
pecially should water not be per-
mitted to stand in holes on the

Polk street, and around Dobbins'
corner. This water should not be
permitted to stay at all. Surely
some plan can be adopted TO run
it off.

The supreme court of the state
has reversed the attorney generals
Office regarding the ruling of that
Office, on the law applicable to the
district clerk. Had the attorneys
ganeral's officer been sustained the
district clerks Office, would have
been not only changeable, and un.
certain, but the vote being based on
the vote for governor (democrat)
many counties casting the required
vote, yet say 1900 for republican,
and 1900 emocratic, the county
could not have district clerk.
This would have been manifestly
wrong, The ruling of the supreme
court has the effect of placing all
the officers on the same basis, do
ing away with any confusion which
would certainly have arisen, had
the ruling of the attorney generals
Office been sustained. Be sure you

Dangerous Kidney Diseases
Cured.

WHEN the kidneys become affected
wv by catarrh, either from colds, over
work, or an extension Of catarrh from
some other organ, they fail to perform
their normal functions.
1t is the work of the kidneys u ex-
crete from the blood many Of the poisons
which accumulate in the body.
If the kidneys fail in their work, the
poisons accumulate to such an extent as
to cause commissions, which often prove
fatal.
Peruna, by relieving the kidneys OF
their congested and catarrhal condi
tions, leaves them free to act in 6
normal manner.
1t also strengthens the action of the
heart, equalizing the circulation of the
blood in all parts Of the system.
