GETS IT" Will Get
Any Corn, Sure !
Almost Like Magic. Guaranteed.
&c SIT"

Any corn just loves to be cut and
gouged but it's mighty rough on you.
Plasters and salves usually take away
some of the toe with them. and leave
the corn to flourish.
The new corn cure ''GETS-IT'' is per
fectly harmless to the healthy flesh, but
il does go for a corn, bunion, callous
or wart right off the reel. The corn
shrivels away from the healthy flesh
and drops off.
You can apply "GETS-IT' in two Sec
onds and ii begins its work right off.
Pretty soon you'll forget you ever had
corns or bunionS
''GETS-IT'' is sold at all druggists at
25 cents a bottle. or sent on receipt of
price by f. Lawrence & Co, Chicago.

was IQaI Cle King was well OF Ill as
he agreed or quarreled with the queen
mother. The state ministers ran des-
perate risks. Richelieu suffered from
many curious illnesses. he knew his
danger and took every precaution.
MaZarin's death cannot wholly be ex-
planned by natural causes. The death
of the sister of Charles II. of Eng
land is also a matter of mystery.
The chief accomplice OF Nine. de
Brinvilliers and perhaps actually the
instigator. of many of her crimes was
Gaudin de Sainte-Croix. than whom
more sinister scoundrel does not cross
the pages of the century.
He was sent to the Bastille. liberated
and met his death before Nine. de
trial. The accounts of his end are
conflicting and Illuminating. Accord
ing to one of them. Sainte-Croix was
endeavoring to discover a poison the
enanations alone of which would be
able to kill. He had heard of the poi
soned napkin with which the young
Dauphin. elder brother of Charles VII.
had wiped his face while playing at
tennis and the contact of which alone
was sufficient to kill. Then there was
the gossip about the gloves belonging
to Jeanne d'Albret. which had been
prepared by one of the Italian poison
ers In the train of Catherine de- Me-
dici. a crime which was never brought
home to its instigators. The secrets
of these poisons had been lost. and
Sainte-Croix wished to find them.
There came to pass one of those
strange events which seem rather to
be punishment from heaven than an
accident. At the moment when
Sainte Croix. leaning over his stove,
watched his fatal mixture reach its
highest state OF intensity. the glass
mask which covered his face and pre-
served him from the mortal exhala
tons which escaped from the liquor
became unfastened and dropped off.
SainteC roix fell to the ground as Il
| struck by thunderbolt.
After the death of Sainte- Croix Mime
| de Brinvilliers took flight and found 6
refuge in London and afterward in the
Netherlands. Her arrest was affected
| by stratagem, and she was brought
back TO Paris to stand trial. Tht
most damaging testimony against hel
was that of the tutor. Braincourt, who
had been in a measure her unwilling
accomplice. In one part of his evidence
the episode must have suggested Il
Dumas one scene between D'ArtagnaI
and Lady de Winter described in 9Th,
Three Musketeers." Nine. de Brinvil
liers was condemned and a full con
fession of her crimes was wrung from
her by the application of the tortur,
of the water. She remained sever
hours in the torture chamber and sh,
avowed all her crimes. but denied tina
she had any accomplices.
The trial. torture and execution o
Nine. de BrinviIliers served as usefu
lesson. Poison did not disappear, bu

VOTING CONTEST CLOSES
MONDAY. JUNE nth.
A Few More Days in Which to Work
for the Beautiful Pian3-Last Strug-
gle fer Capital Prize Now at its
Hight Other Prizes.

There are now but a few more days
in which the candidates engaged in The
Republican popular voting contest have
to work for the several prizes offered.
The voting comes to an end on Monday,
June 18th, at 3 O'Clock and Immediately
thereafter the counting will be COM
menced to see who shall be declared the
winner Of the splendid Obermeyer piano
and the other beautiful and useful
articles offered to those who are max
ing an endeayor to land the premiums.
1t IS not believed by those who have
given the matter careful thought that
any particular person has the grand
prize cinched at the present time bat
there are several in the race who have
a good chance TO land it if they only
will hustle.
If you have not yet seen the fine piano
offered in this contest go to G. c.
Martin & Co. s, and take look. Many
Of our citizens have examined the
instrument as to its quality and appear
ance and there is yet the first one to
say that it is not fine one. 1t Is Of a
plain rich mahogany. and prettier
piano was never unloaded at Oakland.
Musicians Of this vicinity have tested it
as to its quality of tone and volume and
every one of them say it is finer than
silk.
There are several young ladies' who
appear to have the best of the contest
but none of them have sure cinch Of
beng the ultimate owner Of the first
prize. If one of these contestant who
is way down the list should take it into
her head that she could do so. She
would have to DO some work to make
it, but that was what was expected
when the contest opened. Several
punches OF seven new subscribers or
renewals in the groups of seven would
put the lowest candidate in the race up
among the leaders.
For those who wish to vote without
any competitor seeing them, The Re
publican desires to state that cash with
your subscription, telling where the
paper is to be sent and to whom the
votes shall be given can be placed in an
envelope and deposited IN the ballot
box. The Judges will open these en-
velope as soon as they start to count
and will credit all votes. In order to
secure bonus votes on merchants
coupons they must be counted at The
Republican office before beng voted.
Miss Dewitt was in the lead at the
last court. Several others are well to
the front and are putting forth every
effort on the home stretch to win the
coveted prize. Either of these ladies
can land the prize if they will take the
time to get out and solicit new sub
scriptions and renewals. Every bunch
of seven subscribers means $500 votes
and seven renewals will bring in $500
votes and the way to win is to get these
new subscriptions and renewals, as they
count up rapidly and they carry with
them the big bonus offers which con-
testants should be seeking.
From now on until the close of the
