I Many Taft Ballots Spoiled. !,
The political writer's padc consider
able attention today to the candidacy
Of Frank Seibertich, of Boston, for
mer state senator, who was pledged to
Taft and who appeared between the
Roosevelt and Taft delegates at large.
! Reports from many voting places
were that many ballots were invali-
dated because nine names we're marked
instead of eight, and the Taft man.
ayers claimed today that hundreds of
/; their supporters were DISTINGUISHED by
voting for Seibertich and eight Taft
delegates at large whose names ap.
peared beneath.
While the contest for the delegates
at large was settled comparatively
early last night, the struggle for the
twenty-eight district delegates con.
tinued for more than twelve hours, and
at a. m. today the eighth district was
still in doubt, with a ward in Somer-
vile unreported. Later returns gave
Taft the district.
The small vote for Senator LaFol-
lette was one of the features of the
primary and town after town reported
without a single vote being recorded
in his favor. The poll of less than
1000 in a republican primary where
over 100000 votes were cast, caused
surprise to his supporters.
With nearly the entire state record
ed, the Clark majority over Wilson was
wen over $4,000 in total vote of a |
trifle more than 10000.
Owing to the varied marking of the

tically certain however that a MAORI

THE PEEVlSH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When child sulks drowsilv ar "a
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs. and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
IN cases where the use of a gentle.
effective laxative stimulant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. CaidwelPs Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild. yet
positive in its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels Is easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case Of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
S1.0O bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR. W.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington ST., Mon
ticello, Ill, for a sample He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.

Rash ALL OVER BABYS BODY
ltChed So He Could Not Sleep

ION July q, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland taking
baby with us. After being in ireland
few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a. doc
tor who gave US medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form Of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
frritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
It developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face
When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely, covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that nv
mother advised US to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places digap-
Deared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
1s completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment We have no fur

ment are sold everywhere, a sample

death-knell of the ancient order,
though the shifting of the trade was a
slow matter and the glory Of the old
did not pass over to the new at once,
but fingered still in mighty fleets OF

After the reading of the warrant
that morning, Charley Balaam had

Forks. assuring him when they sep

possible to fetch up there and not
pass plumb through the settlement
without knowing where he was.
He was on his way to Fayetteville,
where he intended to spend the night.
and perhaps a day or two in looking
around, when the meeting with Betty
and Murrell occurred. The girls face
remained with him. 1t was face he
would like to see again.
He was still thinking of the gil,
when he ate his supper that night at
Cleggett's Tavern. Later. in the bar,
he engaged his host in idle gossip. He
had met a gentleman and lady on
the road that day! he wondered, as
he toyed with his glass, If it could

Yes, mounted Then it was Ferris

where Betty suffered sleepless nights
and the unaccustomed pangs Of early
rising. She occasionally found her
self wondering who Darlington was.
She approved of the manner in which
he conducted himself. She liked a
man who could be unobtrus1ve.
The next morning he found himself
seated opposite her at breakfast. He
received another curt little nod, cool
and distant, as he took his seat.
You stop in Washington" said
Darlington.
Betty shook her head mo, | am

You're fortunate in being so near

Betty exclaimed: why, l am 60

Are you? By canal to Cumber-
land, and then by stage over the Ma

Betty nodded. 1T makes one wish
they'd finish their railroads, doesn't
it? Do you suppose they'll ever get
as far west as Memphis?" she said
They say it's going to be bad for

Darlington. And | happen to be a

No more was said just then, for
Betty became reserved and did not at
tempt to resume the conversation. A
