Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE
Ladies' Home Journal.

Sending truth after lie. It IS an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting its boots
on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. X. V. Pierce
and his rFavorite Prescription published
I'm the May Q904) number Of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with its great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum
BILE, groveling retractiOn, with its incon-
spicuous heading, published two months
later. 1t was boldly charged in the sland-
erous and libelous article that DIR. Pieroe's
Favorite Prescription, for the cure OF
woman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ipgredi-
ents. DIR. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers OF the Ladies'
Home Journal, for S200,0O0,00 damages.
DIR. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter wiU the intent of injuring his
busineSSy Furthermore. that no alcohol. or
other Injurious. or habit-forming, drugs
are, or Sver were, contained in his "Fa-
vorite IesSfiption that said medicine

These facts were also proven In the tTlal OF
the action in the Supreme Court But the
business of DIR. Pierce was greatly injured by
the publication OF the libelous article with
Its great display headings while hundreds OF

article never saw the humble groveling re-
traction, set I'm small type and made as incon-
spicuous as possible. The matter was. how

base slandors were refuted.

Didn't Challenge.

Central Michigan Times:
There has been some newspaper
comment, relative to a supposed or
assumed challenge made by George G.
Coyell TO me to discuss. review or de-
bate with him his senatorial record.
Now, l wish to say that / have
never received such a challenge from
Mr.. CovelI by letter, word or other
wise. And although we have met and
addressed the people Of the lltll con-
gressional district during the past
ten days from the same platforms, he
at such times, has never even so much
as limited to me that he would like to
discuss and review with me his seu-
atorial record.
Yours truly,
Francis III. Dodds.

You are hereby notified that there

adopted. And George Covell opposed
this repeal as long as he was In the
senate.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1908-08-29
NOT A PRIMARY REFORMER.

Covell claims to favor the primary
law yet he did absolutely nothing two
years ago to secure the application of
this law to the nomination of con-
gresham. The calling Of the COM
mittee for this purpose, circulation of
petitions and in fact all the work Of
securing its adoption was initiated
by those who are today supporting
Mr.. Dodds. Mr. Coyell's connection
with the machine politics and politi-
clans of the state is so notorious that
his claim of being primary reform
cr" prOvokes a smile.
Mr.. COvell's "defense" is without
leg to stand on, while his bOastful
claims are not upheld by the facts.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1908-08-29
WHAT HE BRAGS OF

Covell brags Of his vote in favor Of
the Merriam bill and tells how much
additional tax it brought into the
state treasury, but he fails to tell the
people that the Merrimam bill was a
railroad bill, pure and simple. That
it was an effort by railroad senators,
by making show of increasing speci-
fic taxation to prevent the repeal Of
the Michigan Central charter and the
adoption OF taxation on actual value
as farms are taxed. Look at the
record.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1908-08-29
VOTE ON RAILROAD FARE BILLS

For his vote on these bills Covell
has no defense. Consistent with his
record as a railroad senator he voted
against reducing fares in the upper
peninsula from to 3 cents against
interchangeable mileage, and always
In favor OF everything the railroads
wanted. The railroads never asked
anything of George Covell when ne
was in the seuate that he did not do.

How we'll Omaha property pays out was
shown when w. f. Armstrong Of New
York sold to Fred F. Adams of Omaha
the ten lots at Thirty-seventh and Pacific
streets during the week for $3.50. The lots
are in what is known as Utica Place and
were obtained by Mr.. Armstrong in the
boom days of Omaha on a mortgage for
closed for $4,000. By holding the property
for several years the owner secured $3.50
and made money on the property. In the
opinion of real estate dealers, no better deal
has ever been made for the buyer. Ten lots
at $685. per lot at Thirty-seventh and Pa
cific streets is considered one of the best
bargains Of the year and 1t is said the
owner will have no trouble disposing of the
property at $500 TO 5000 per lot.
Numerous small deals In lots continue
in all parts of the city. but no one section
has had a freer movement than the
Kountze Place property. No less than
thirty houses are being erected north Of

and North Twenty-fourth streets. Hast

building TO some extent, but has actually
Killed the real estate business for two
weeks. according to w T. Graham. The
rain has been a great hindrance to those
who planned to move and the result has
been that no one has been inquiring about
property. Rental lists have grown some
longer and leases have been fewer than

In Colorado, Montana. Washington and
California the power Of water plunEing
over cliffs or conveyed down mountains
through fumes and pipes is lighting many
cities, propelling street cars and turning
factory wheels. Uncle Sam is amazed to
discover that he has a by-product worth
perhaps $40. 10000 a year in the waste
water flowing over great dams built TO aid
navigation. There is l,60O,OoO-horsepower
available in the surplus liquid. The Inland
Waterways commission has reported this
fact TO the convention OF state governors
called by President Roosevelt. Govern
ment irrigation dams Of the west are
among the num to engineering
skill. At the Salt River dam in Arizona,
where a lake twenty-five miles is being
made, the water itself gives power 10
grind rock for the cement that will help
10 impound II.
A daring deed is the construction OF a
power plant not over or beside a water
fall. but precisely under It, so that the
curving green torrent forms a cover for
the establishment. This feat is presented
on the Patapsco river, near Baltimore.
Three turbines connected with electric dy-
namos and yielding l.5OO-horsepower are
installed IN a power house under a dam.
No one would suspect that anything. and
/ particularly such machinery, was hidden
under the plunging spray Of the fall. A
hooded opening al one side OF the river
gives access 10 this modern Aladdin's cave.
