We know of no other medicine which
has been SO successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia +.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows OF the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds OF
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many of whom state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is made from roots and herbs,
and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is
because it contains ingredients which act

John P. Gordon for Auditor

John P. Gordon's hat is in the
ring. In conserving to stand
for a second term in the office
which he has filled with
such credit to himself and dis
tmction to the people Of Missouri
ne does but invoke the immemor-
al custom of the Democratic
party in rewarding it's faithful
public servants with a second
term. He is entitled to that
honor.
1t is charged against Nj. Cor
don that he has made it
harder to get money out of the
public treasury that he in
sists upon seeing and knowing
the law authorizing the expend-
iture of public funds before he
will draw a warrant on the treas
ury; that he holds up expense
accounts for Investigation when
there is the slightest doubt of
their correctness. 70 these
charges, and others like them,
Mr., Gordon may we'll enter a
plea Of guilty, If Missouri
wants a state auditor who will
stand on the steps of the capitol
and proclaim "Come on in, boys,
and help yourselves"-why then,
~assuredly, in that event Missouri
is not seeking John P. Gordon,
and he doeSn't want the Job.

other objections to State Auditor

too PARTISAN" Be that as it
may. When John p. Gordon
was elected tc the office of state
auditor he was not as an hide
pendent. He was elected as a
Democrat, and no man can say
hat he has not kept the faith.
But to say that he has been part
san or unfair or in any way dis
honest in the discharge Of his
official duties is to say what
the whole state knows to be
false.
Without %uttcring one word H.
disparagement Of any other good
Democrat who might seek the
honor, Mr.. Gordon's friends
may tuthfully say that his adj

The regular semi-monthly meeting
Of the city council was held Monday
night with all members present ex-
cept Aldermen Chetelat and Combs,
both OF whom are out of town. The
session was an unusually short one
and but few matters were taken up
for consideration. representative OF
the Curran Advertising company of
Denver was present and reiterated
the request, made some time ago, for
permission to erect and maintain
billboards for advertising purposes
within the city limits. The petition
was referred to the city attorney with
instructions to make a report on the
proposition at a subsequent meeting
of the council.
W. w. Hugart made a request of
the council for a sufficient quantity
Of water from the decree Of the Fruit
lands Ditch company to irrigate TWEEN
ty acres of land on the Priest ranch,
located in the vicinity Of Three Mile
Spring on the west side OF the Hog
back In view of the fact that the city
owns a considerable block of the cap
ital stock of the ditch company, which
IT is in a position to sell to Mr.. HUI

some favor by the council. On motion
the application was referred to the

that II had completed plans for the

Most OF the time during the cam
paign the weather was most dis
agreeable and ii was hard to get
around to see some OF those who were
out In the country. but that Is where
the men showed their determination
to "get there" Despite the inclement
weather. every bay and every man on
the teams were out and bringing in
returns every hour.
Yesterday at noon the report show
ed that the clock lacked about 1900.
Tbsi meant basiness for the teams
and they went nj 1t undaunted and by
ten O'Clock last night the citizens of
Canon City had promised the $500.
Al eight O'Clock there was . defIe-'
iency Of about s74s and 1t seemed that
some new strenuous effort must be
made.
Through the knowledge OF exper-
fence in such Instances. Mr.. Bilheimer
was there with the proper method
and he called a meeting OF all who
were In the house. About two hun
dred were there and volunteer sub
scrlptlons were called upon.
Mr.. C. J. Fredrickson announced
that he had the authority to an
nounce the last 500 OF the necessary
amount. After calls had been made
and many small subscriptions had
been made a prominent gentleman
who had previously subscribed in a
most generous manner. announced an
other generous subscription for him
self and one each for two friends.
New Nome Assured.
This enthused and brought about
the balance of the amount necessary
previous to the announcing OF the
last 500.
When II was announced that NJ.
La Costa. manager OF The City Book
and Curio Store. was this benefactor.
the boys were Wild with the knowl-
edge OF complete victory: they real
ized that new Y. NJ. C. A. building
was theirs and that their work had
spelled success from the start. There
was no restraining their enthusiasm:
the men were there and helped for
their interest was just rs keen as
that OF the boys.
The men of Canon City have had
the interest OF the boys at heart In
the whole campaign. They knew II
was the one thing needed to help
make the boys. the kind OF men that
Canon City will appreciate.
