This sign IS permanently attached
to the front of the main building OF
the Lydia L. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection OF
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestlydesired. 1tmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
1t means that n permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements OF Lydia
L. Pinlham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?

s.. IOuis.-With returns from nine
ty.fve counties in the state, embracing
all the principal cities and towns,
Cowhcrd leads Ball by 1885,, In the
niucty.fye counties, with scattering
returns from eight or nine counties
that have not yet given complete re-
suit Cowhcrd's vote is S3,G4G. Ball $
vote in the same counties Is G6,Iol
Wallace has 1859 and Stapcl 1926,
This does not mean that Cowherd
will beat Ball by approximately 1000.
Every additional county yet to near
from. with the possible exception OF
four or five, will give Ball a plurality,
unless Wallace should get one or two.
The counties yet to give complete re-
turns are Cedar, Christian, Cra"-
ford. Dent. Douglass. Grundy, Iron, La
favot'c. Maries, Miller, oregon, Ozark,
Pcmiscot Putnam. Scott, Shannon,
fancy and Texas. In all Of these
counties not more than twO-thirds OF
the vote cast for Folk in 1901 was
cast Tuesday. This vote follows:
Cedar. 1862. Christian. 1912; Craw-
ford. 1919; Dent. 1905; Douglas, 592:

May Cut cowherd TO $4,000
This combined vote was 2iSS9. II
IS safe to say approximately $4,000
votes were cast in them. OF this mum,
Der Ball should receive 10000, Cow
herd about 5000, and Wallace about
5000. The Stapel vote in all will be
light. On this basis Cowherd's lead
of II 900 would he cut to about 10000,
possibly a trihe under.
It will readily be seen that Cow
herds home city saved him from de
feat, and 1t is possible the same may
be said of st. Louis, so low will his
plurality be. Eliminating Kansas City
and st. Louis. Ball has carried the
state by approximately 10000
The vote OF Hadley, Republican can
didatc for governor in sixty-threc

fact that the Republicans pollcd q

Gentry Badly Beaten,
That Fukcrson has beaten Gentry
for candidate on the Republican ticket
for attorney general there is now on
apparent doubt. In half of the coun

This majority is too great for Gentry
to overcome, and II is extremely
doubtful il he will even be able to cul
