Gen. GroSVenor

Bryan can't possibly get more than

drawn for the Democratic party and its

Congressman William III. Par

last Friday morning after an ILL
ness of three weeks, from cirrhosis
of the liver and dropsy. He was
taken i'll before the close of the last
term of congress, but improved
sufficiently to enable him to come

age. He served in the union army
from 1861 to 1866, and was mus

He was collector of internal reye-
nue. in Colorado from 1874 to
1876; was U. S. attorney for Colo

The state supreme court in the
case taken up from Woonsocket,
has decided that before license can
be legally granted the vote in its
favor must be a majority Of all
votes cast at the election. Thus
at Woonsocket the total vote cast
was 275. The vote for license was
1877 and against license 1856. The
vote for license was therefore Iarg-
er than the vote against, but was
not a majority of all votes cast at
the election, hence the appeal for
license is denied. The circuit
courts have decided both ways on
this question, some holding that it
required a majority of all votes
cast, while others held that it only
required a majority of those cast
on the license question.

The town of Pukwana in Brule
county was struck by tornado
last Saturday night, wrecking
twelve or fifteen business blocks
and many residences. The storm
was about quarter of a mile wide
and everything in its path was
wrecked. Although the storm
struck in the night when the citi-
zens were asleep no one appears to
have been injured. Hail and rain
followed the wind, running the
crops in the path of the storm.
Mrs. A. D. Ardery, who is at the
sanitarium in Chamberlain, writes
that the storm was quite bad at
that place, but though some win
dows were blown out no buildings
were wrecked.

Heat prostrates the nerves. In the
summer one needs tonic to offset the
customary hot weather nerve and
strength depression. You will feel bet
ter within 4S hours after beginning to
take such remedy as DR.. Shoop's Re
storative. Its prompt action in restor-
ing the weakened nerves is surprising.
OF course, you wont get entirely strong
in few days, but each day you can
actually feel the improvement. That
tired, lifeless, spiritless feeling will
quickly depart when using the Restor-
ative. DR.. Shoop's Restorative will
sharpen failing appetite; it aids dl-
gestion; it will strengthen the weaken
ed kidneys and heart by simply re-
building the worn-out nerves that these
organs depend upon. Test it a few
days and be convinced. Sold by r.
