Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract Sc
we're colds and recover from them
without taking any precaution or
treatment, and knowledge of this
fact leads others to take their chances
instead of giving their colds the need
ed attention. 1t should be borne in
mind that every cold weakens the
lungs, lowers the vitality, makes the
system less able to withstand each
succeeding attack and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Can
you afford to take such desperate
chances when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, famous for it's cures of bad
colds, may be had for a trifle? For

split votes cast for other candidates
for the purpose of ascertaining wheth-
er like care had been observed on
the part of the voters in scratching
the name voted against on ballots
where the party ticket was voted,
and cross was placed after the name
of some candidate on another ticket.
The results showed that no such care
was observed in scratching the name
voted against, and 1t was apparent
that an especia! effort had been made
to scratch Summers name in excess
Of scratching done for any other can
didate under like or similar condi-
tons. The exact methods followed in
mutilating the ballots will never be
known. 1t is easy to see how many
were changed by placing a cross after
the name of Viel on the straight Re-
publican ballots, also by running a
pencil through the name of Summers
and the cross following, and putting
cross after the name of We'll. 1t was
self-evident that whoever tempered
with the ballots and put a cross af-
ter the name Of Viel in the straight
Republican ballots, also scratched the
name of Summers thereon, and also
carefully inspected like ballots which
had been lawfully voted, and for the
purpose of making the ballots certain
for We'll had taken the pains to also
scratch the name of Summers there
on. AS above stated, two (2) ballots
only were overlooked. 1t is evident
that the malefactor feared that I'M

out, and he was taking no chances.
For the purpose of corroborating the
canvass made by the counting judges,
and to ascertain whether in the count
ing of split ballots, or otherwise, they
had been careless, the votes cast for
other candidates, and especially those
for whom many split tickets had been
cast, were re-counted, and the results
of the re-counts showed approximate
ly the same results as given by the
canvass judges.
The fact that the evidence was suffi-
F., cient to show a mutation of the bal
lots after the canvass made by the
election judges, warrants the exclu-
sion Of ali the ballots as evidence in
this case on the ground that they are
not the best evidence. Even had the
ballots of Depot precenct been admit
ted as evidence in this case, that fact
does not necessarily make them the
best evidence.
1t becomes entirely unnecessary to
comment on the testimony of J. F.
Melvin. His Statements are so absurd
and so contrary to the testimony Civ
en- by the election judges, that it
could not have had any weight what
soever with the presiding justice.
The opportunity to tamper with the
boxes while in the possession of the
Sheriff has been explained fully by
The testimony Of Mr.. Kirtley. This is
only another incident showing the I'M
lawful manner in which the boxes
were handled and kept and the oppor-
tunity for people who had wagered
money on the result of the election,
to tamper therwith.
Delays have marked the progress
of this case from it's inception, the
most serious of the bitches having
arisen over getting the record trans

SUMMERS CASE
NEAR TO WIND-UP

given during the progress of the trial,
and in his written findings of fact.
The record discloses the following:
/. That six (6) ballots not count
ed by the election judges for either
candidate, Numbers 1919 to 204, we're
counted by the Court for Viel.
2. That the court and the count
ing judges agreed as to the manner
Of counting all the remaining ballots.
3. That the recount showed diff
ference of 81 votes from the count of
the counting judges, while, as mat
ter of fact, the difference should be
six 60 only in favor Of Wei, if the
canvass of the judges was correct.
A. That the votes had been tam
cred with since the election and had
been changed.
5. That the recount of votes for
other candidates showed practically
no discrepancy between the judges
count and the recount.
The evidence in the case discloses
the additional facts, viz:
GAY Heavy bets were placed on
the result of the election to this par
ticular office.
tb) Ballots were exposed to the
public at all times when in the office
of Mr. Dryer.
(c) Ballots could easily have been
changed when in the vault Of the
Sheriff.
(d) Flimsy lock that could have
been easily opened.
(e) Opening kin the ballot box
three-eighths inch by four and three
fourths inches.
(f) Ballot box not sealed.
(g) No fraud or malcondnct shown
on part of judges.
th) Change of ballots by crossing
out the name of Harry l.. Summers on
approximately 25 ballots.
Opposing counsel has injected into
their argument much matter relating
to the inspection of the ballots which
the record does not show.
On page IL of this brief opposing
counsel say; "There is not scintlla
of evidence in the case to show that
they 1.-THE ballots) had been tempered
with" Without going beyond the rec
ord, we can prove that this statement
is absolutely untrue.
The election judge, Anderson, tes-
tined that there were at least twenty
five (25) votes cast and counted for
Viel which had a cross in the circle
at the heal of the Republican ticket
and also cross after Viel's name,
and the name of Summers not
scratched. The other counting judges
verified this statement to the extent
of their recollection. The presiding
justice considered this feature of the
case important. A careful inspection
of the ballots showed that only two
such votes were found-ballots No.
1877 and 1913. Here is proof positive
that the ballots had been tempered
with and were no longer trustworthy.
IL we may be permitted to go out
side of the record in manner as OPP
posing counsel has done, we will say
that an inspection was made of the

we may expect long period of lower

AN INTERESTING ACCOUNT
OF HABITS OF BEAVERS

There are about three colonies on the
place.
Just about the first of October. my
tenant tells me. the beavers hold a big
1pow-wow." consult the goose bone
the corn shucks", the ground hog.
and Fulier's weather reports. and de-
eide that the winter is near; get all

camp" and the winter food supply.
Some two or three begin cutting down
trees, and then IL the tree doesn't fall
in the water others begin cutting II
up into lengths of about six feet. They
have a straw boss. There are no
strikes" or "lockouts". and they
don't observe union hours. When tho
timber is cut in proper lengths. sew
eral will work together pulling and
pushing 1t TO the water. The tenant
used to wait until the beavers had the
wood all cut and then so down and
haul it TO the house for his winters
fuel supply.
The large tree, the stump of which
Is in White & Davis window. was in
the front yard OF one OF the beaver
colonies. Very much against the wish
OF tho mother, / am told, two OF tho
young beavers went out, one night. and
cut 1t down. and when accused by the
mother said. We cannot tell lie.

me that one morning he missed his

out. Tho beavers had used II to shar-
pen their teeth.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take glass Of Salts to finish out
your Kidneys and neutralize
irritating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid. says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder.
where it often remains to irritate and
infame. causing a burning, scalding
sensation. or setting up an irritation
at the neck OF the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes some
very profuse; again. there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder eakness. most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While 1t is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful. this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take = tablespoonful in a glass of Wa
ter before breakfast. continue this for
two or three days. This will neutral
izc the acids In the urine so It no long
er is a source OF irritation to the hlad-
der and Urinary organs which then act
normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with litia.
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant. eferves-
cent lithta-water drink. which quickly
relieves bladder trouble
