printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-

Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-

which spring politics had such little
interest for the people OF the whole
county as was the case this year But
two contests were on for supervisor in
the whole county. one each in the
townships Of Bates and Iron River and
in both of these places the contests
were exceedingly tame affairs
In Iron River Ed. Scott won out by
. majority ~ eighty over Clarence
McDermott and IN Bates Charley Olson
was winner over Frank Erickson by
q fair sized majority.
A slnal contest developed at the
Dunn, the voting precinct Of Mastodon
township. Jake Holmes opposed II. J.

~ for Mr. McIaren.
There were scarcely as many votes
cast on election day in the three wards

ward on primary day held only five
days previous From this fact il can
readily be seen that little interest was
taken in election within the limits of
the city, although all Of the mines
