WHY IT SUCCEEDS.
Because It's For One Thing Only, and
Lancaster People Appreciate This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing we'll brings sue
cess. s
Doan's Kidneys Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disorded kidneys.
Here is Lancaster evidence to prove
their worth.
Mrs. w. H. Hough, Lancaster, says !:
"About six years ago my son had a
lot of trouble from weak kidneys and
bladder. We tried everything, but
nothing benefited him. At last, we
tried Doan's Kidney Pills, which we
got at j. D. Hatch's Drug Store.
They quickly cured him and he has had
no further trouble. l have given
Doan's Kidney Pills to my other
children for kidney weakness and they
have never failed to make a cure. :"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don t
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

AROUND THE COUNTY
POTOSI.

spacial CorresDondence To the Herald
st. Andrew Catholic church in
Tennyson was the scene of a very
pretty wedding Tuesday morning,
October 9th at 10 80 o'clock, when
Rev. Father Shelter pronounced the
words that united in holy matrimony
Mr.. Henry j. Simon and Miss
Gertrude Stelpflug both of the town
of Potosi. The bride was handsome
ly gowned in a white silk ace over
white satin, draped with bridal veil,
a beautiful wreath adorned her fore
head and she carried a bouquet of
brides roses and presented a most
lovely appearance as she stood before
the altar and pledged her vows to the
man of her choice. She was attended
by her sister Miss Josephine Stel-
plug, who was beautifully attired in
white lace over yellow satin. The
groom was supported by his nephew,
Mr.. Chris Craugh, both wearing suits
of the conventional black. At the
conclusion of the wedding service
the bridal party marched out of the
church to the strains of a beautiful
wedding march and entered Mr.. Ben
Beier's auto and were driven to the
nome of the brides parents, where
an elaborate wedding dinner awaited
them, Father Shelter and sister
Miss Ada and two hundred other
guests joining in the festivities. The
dining room was decorated in yellow
and white streamers and yellow and
white crysenthemums; six young
ladies, Hattie Weber, Margaret
Seifker, Lizzie Glassmacher, Lizzie
Rupp, Mamie Pluemer and Maggie

Lancaster Dog Prisoner.

This article is printed at the request of
Mrs Ellie Duncan, who assumes all reSp0n-
Sibility for same:
Lancaster is infested with a speci-
men of the trib of vermin known as .
dog poisoner. Last Thursday morn
ing an intelligent little dog belonging
to Dorman Duncan was poisoned and
you might say in its own door yard,
and suffered agony indescribable for
six hours. A harmless puppy less
than six months old, and the pet of
all the children in the neighborhood.
There are several human attributes
that are despicable in the eyes Of all
decent people, but probably the lowest
trait is that of the secret, cowardly,
sneaking one that animates the dog
poisoner. His stature is below that of
the rattlesnake, because-we know
that reptile and know what to expect,
besides he always gives warning be-
fore he strikes. This thing that
masquerades as a man or woman who
loves the dark, secret methods and
81 oats over the suffering of dumb
animals. He glories in hearing
babies call for their pets and
wonder why the pets never answer.
The little tots say, che always came
when called-whv don't he now?"
He chuckles in unhoIy glee because
dogowners chain up and muzzle them.
He is in the same class as the wanton
murderer, the grave robber and the
sewer rats. His brain is made up Of
slime and filth and he has no redeem
ing characteristic. He is the incar-
nation of cowardice. He strikes the
dumb animal that happens to belong
to the person who has offended him.
He does not have the courage to take
his spite out on the object of his
putrid hatred. The same animus a
little stronger would cause him to
feed poisoned candy to babies. There
is no living creature, dumb or
human, that does not show redeem
ing traits except the dog poisoner. A
fancied slight will cause him to turn
on a friend and strike him in the
dark. He should not be trusted and
he should be ostraciSed by people-he
is more dangerous than leper.
And this thing will walk among
men and talk about the dog poisoner,
condemn him and agree with the
person who condemns him. He hears
his name execrated and has not the
courage to defend it.

necessity and with the idea that it was to be revoked with the
close of the war.
The first effect of the war tax to fierce a sudden advance
in the wholesale prices of liquor. The retail dealer found a
larger profit in selling the high taxed whisky for IL to IS cents
a drink than in selling tax free whisky at 5 cents. The brewers
and distlers also found that the high federal tax was the most
effective plan to intrench the saloon.
The revenue thus collected by the United States govern
ment is about $333oooooo. To pay this revenue there has been
spent for liquors about $2ooooooooo. The liquor bill is more
than the national debt and more than the annual expenditures
of all the railroads of the country.
This cost of drink does not include the cost of courts
hospitals, and asylums. 1t has been estimated that the by-pre-
ducts of the saloon cost the country $I25 for every nickel
paid for revenue or for license. This drink bill makes no est
mate for disease, insanity, pauperism, suffering and death.

The Tax On Liquor

There is no business that seems proud of the fact that it
has to pay a heavy tax to the government except the liquor
traffic. The reason for pride over this great tax is that it fur
nishes the apolopy for the continuance OF a business that the
most intelligent people of the world are rapidly learning has no
right to exist.
The system of revenue from the liquor traffic was inaugu-
rated during the civil war to help meet the tremendous expenses
of that great struggle. 1t was intended as a temporary exped-
lent for a great emergency. In discussing the plan Henry
Wilson of Massachusetts in the United States senate said: II
look upon the liquor trade as grossly immoral, causing more evil
than anything else in this country and I think the federal gov
eminent ought not to derive a revenue from the retail of in
toxicating drinks"
Lincoln signed the revenue bill with great reluctance, under
pressure from Secretary of the Treasury Chase, as a financial
