ness. This is the statement Of State
Auditor Henderson, who Is looking into
county affairs at Ely in his official ca
pacity.
"At present I am not trying 10 audit
the books thoroughly" said Mr.. Hen
derson. ut is my intention to first get
a good general working system intro
duced in the various county offices all
over the State. This will render my
report later in the year much easier.
At present there is no system in general
vogue in the counties. Some of the
county officers are working on the
straight salary plan, while others are
working under the fee system. l an
establishing a system in each of
fee which will make the work much
more simple aud will expedite matters
greatly. 1t will be fairly easy for me
under this system to get a check on

Root Juice scientist and his new dis
covery that many people are going

Of rheumatism, stomach and kidney
troubles and nervous weakness. Mrs.

IT had just seven doctors treating
me at different times for chronic
stomach troubles and female weak
ness. I was reduced to skin and
bones, and was so weak couldn't
feed myself when I commenced to
take the wonderful juice. After taking
it few days I was recovering flesh
and strength with such rapidity
felt miracle was being performed.
A few bottles of the remedy complete.
ly cured me after all the doctors failed
to do any good. but am not the only
one, as many of my neighbors nave
been cured by the great medicine. II
is truly a wonderful medicine. It
seems to heal and invigorate every

.ME:RCHANTSLOST
CAME TO BUSSEY

From Mondays Daily
The South Side Merchants baseball
team were defeated yesterday after
noon at Bussey by the Bussey slug
gers by the score of 6 to 1. This was
the second time these teams have met
this season and one game has been
won by each team. They will prob
ably play the third and deciding game
in South Ottumwa in the near future.
The game yesterday was fast and
closely contested up until the sixth
inning, when the Singers took
brace at the stick and showed that
they were deserving of the name
sluggers, and landed several hits and
four scores. Up until this inning
neither team had been able to shove
a man over the tally mark. Two
more scores were made by the Slug
gers in the seventh and it looked as
though the invincible Merchants were
going to receive a goose egg, but
brace in the ninth saved them from
the shut-out, as one man crossed the
rubber safely. This is the fifteenth
game the Merchants have played this
season, and the fourth game they have
lost, which is the best record Of any
amateur in the city
