What is the use of going on Buffering from kidney backache, nervousness, sleeplessness and dizziness, when a 50 cent box of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids will care you? Probably you have not heard of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, 60 if you will read this statement it will pay you tenfold. We give you as refence Mr. H. P. Bartlett, who has a responsible position with the Standard Wheel Co., Terre Haute, Ind., who Bays: "It was on account of my friends that 1 secured a package of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids the beoefit received from them

haB

really been wonderful. I

have had considerable trouble with my right kidney for the last ten years. While but one kidney bothered me I had all the disagreeable symptoms accompanying the disease. I received such quick relief that I continued with them. The pain in my back left and all the disagreeable symptoms are rapidly righting themselves. Kid-ne-oids are the best remedy of the kind I have ever used, and I have used many. I can recommend Kid-ne-oids to anyone."

Morrow's Kid ne-oids are not pills, but yellow tablets and are put up in wooden boxes which contain enough for about two weeks' treatment and sell at 50 cents a box at Geo. W. Steele's drug store. Mailed on receipt of price. Manufactured by John Morrow & Co., OhemistB, Springfield, Ohio.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1899.

A BOOM for Lieutenant-governor Timothy L. Woodruff, of New York, as running mate with McKinley, has been started.

DOWN in Democratic Wayne the last election cost $185. Why should we not have voting machines and reduce thiB expense to §83?

THIS Bum of 5(118 was devoted to election expenses for Ripley township in 1898. If the county council will authorize the commissioners to buy voting machines this figure will be cut to 840.

THE last election in Brown township cost the county 8182. With voting machines the cost would not be over 881. The present method of voting is rank extravagance.

Thu Bum of 8165 was the price paid by the county for the last election in Franklin township. When we have voting machines it will be only 874. How can money be saved easier.

•THE expenses of the last election in Sugar Creek township, exclusive of ballots and canvaesing board, amounted to 8124. This could be reduced to about 840 by the use of voting machines.

SCOTT townBhip in the last election coBt the county 8116, but if they used voting machines there this figure would not exceed 840. The way to save the taxpayers' money is to buy machines.

MR. ERVING WINSLOW, the secretary of the anti-imperialistic league, says the New York Tribune, has very little to be thankful for, but he spent Thanksgiving day in praying for the repentance of the "blood-guilty usurper" who has given America her firEt Thanksgiving of shame.

GREENFIELD haB just finished the first year of municipal ownership of her electric light plant and it has been such a successful year that rates are being reduced. The sliding scale of rates adopted we commend to the consideration of our electric light committee. The former rate of .9 of a cent an hour, charged for sixteen candle-power incandescent lamps, used for domestic purposes, is reduced, and a eliding scale substituted, under which consumers using less than 250 hours a month will pay .7 of a cent a lamp an hour. Those using from 250 to 500 hours, will pay .Oof a cent a lamp an hour. From 500 to 1,000 hours of light will be furnished at .5 of a cent from 1,000 to 2,000, at .4, and over 2,000 at .3. No charge of less than 50 cents will be made in any contract. Annual contracts for arc lights uBed for commercial purposes will be made at the following rates: One lamp, 857 two, 854 each three, 851 each, and four 848 each. The rate for electric fans is also very materially reduced. One fan, 83 a month two, SB,10 three, 86, and four, 80.

NEW PliAN OF REPRESENTATION. The movement to equalize the representation of the various states in the national Republican conventions, is one which will meet with the approval of every fair minded man. It is proposed that each state shall have four delegates at large and in addition one delegate for each 10.000 Republican votes caBt at the last preceding Presidential election. This method of representation in proportion to voting strength has long been customary in city, county, and state conventions, and juBt why it has never been adopted by the national convention is passing strange. Under the present unjust plan there are four delegates at large from each state and two for each congressional district. This allows seven southern stales which poll only 200,000 Republican votes, seven times as many delegates as the state of Minnesota, which casts practically the same number of votes. The southern delegates wield an influence in the conventions all out of proportion to their influence on election day. And this influence is frequently for the bad. The story of southern delegations being bought up has been told

BO

often

that many people believe it. The Republican party in most of the southern states is nothing more or

IBSB

than an

organization for spoils and its undue power in conventions is used to increase its share of the rewards for political work. A party based on such a principle will ever be weak. The character of its leaders will be weak and they will be unable to attract substantial and thinking voters. Hundreds and thousands of southern men who believe in Republican principles still vote the Democratic ticket because they have no confidence in the Republican organization. Ever since the war the Republican party has tried to gain a foothold in the south under the present plan of representation. The results are barren. It is time a new plan was tried.

A DIVIDED DEMOCRACY. The Democratic party is far from united on the anti-expan6ion issue Indications are that the breach is growing wider. For instance the Arkansas Gazette, published at Little Rock, recently said editorially: "Gov. Dan W.Jones in his address at the Choctaw banquet came out strongly in favor of the retention of the Philippines. Bis views on this subject arejin line with those of the businesBlmen of this »ection, who believe that the south will be more beufited than any other portion of the country by the United States holding on to the sovereignty of the islands Not only the businessmen of the south but some of the most prominent statesmen in this section are in favor of expansion. Senators SullivBn, of Mississippi, McLaurin, of South Carolina, and Lindsay, of Kentucky, are pronounced expansionists. Nearly every commercial organization that has held a meeting in the south within the last year has indorsed the policy of expansion. They realize that it is to the interest of the cotton producing states to build up an export trade with the Asiatic countries and that this cannot be done unless this country secures a foothold in the Pacific ocean. The Bouth is no longer blind to its own interests and when public sentiment i« fully developed it will be found that this section iB pronouncedly in favor of retaining the Philippines and all other newly acquired territory in the Pacific."

MADISON township cost the county 8124 at the last election. Voting machines would reduce the amount to 841- IhiB would be economy with a big I

Kesoiutloiie.

LIFE IN FAR PAN AY.

An Entertaining Letter From Lieutenant Berron, Which Gives Much Information About the Natlvtg and Conrlitons.

Lieutenant Charles D. Herron, of the 18th United States infantry, stationed at Iloilo, writes interestingly to a friend in Crawfordsville of the affairs in the island of Panay. He says: "In the city of Iloilo the population is made up of Americans, Englishmen, Germans, Greeks, Swiss, and Chinese. There area number of natives living here also, but they are only tolerated. They are in the minority and cut no sort of political, social, or business figure. The Chinese are the most wide-awake and progressive as well as the most conscienceless citizens here, and the English hold the heaviest property interests. The Englishman, as we encounter him, is the meanest sort of an individual and would be only too glad to see the Americans fail. It is the old story of hurting a man by hitting him on hiB pocketbook, the English here realizing that the success of our country in the Philippines will establish against them a business rivalry here which they have not had to combat before. The representatives of the other nations here feel likewise, and I believe I am safe in saying that among the 800,000 people in Panay the United States cannot muster twenty real friends. This talk to the effect that they greet our flag with joy is all rot. Each European would like to see hiB own country in possession and all the others barred. The natives of Panay are a stupid and impassive lot and would never have given us trouble had they not been incited to it by the rebels in Panay. We have againBt us about 3,000 riflemen and 15,000 spearmen and knifemen. These latter fellows are not the least to be feared by any manner of means, as that very stupidity and impassiveness renders them formidable. Undersized, possessed of but little power of endurance, and physically weak, they nevertheless have absolutely no fear of death and never show pain or emotion. They are contradictions in human nature as we know it, and these qualities I have mentioned are what make their spearmen and knifemen, who are rather skillful in handling their weapons, better fighters than their unskilled riflemen- I witnessed a couple of weeks ago a little tragedy which aptly illustrates the character of the native soldier. It was a warm day and the sun beat pitilessly down, even the tropical plants seeming to shrivel in it and our sentinels drowsily made the rounds. I was out near the furtherest picket when some one called attention to a native who came toward us from the jungle. He was a miserable, almost naked little scamp with hideously ill shapen features, wonderfully bowed legs, and a distended paunch which gave him rather the appearance of a species of monkey than a man. He evidently was on a business mission, too, for he walked more rapidly than is usual here and carried exposed in his hand the ugliest knife I ever saw. Of course, the sentinel called to him to halt and for a moment he slackened his pace and smiled—a smile that was a mere drawing up of the corners of his mouth. £Jot another feature twitched and in his eyes there was no more expression than in those of a dead fish. This manifestation of peace, calculated to throw the soldier off his guard, however, failed in its purpose and instead of dropping his gun the sentinel raised it just as the little heathen sprang at him. There were several shots in quick succession and the vicious assassin fell several feet short of the soldier. He was bored through and through but was perfectly conscious. He knew he was done for and that he had failed in his high ambition of killing an Americano. He turned over once, reached out deliberately and pulled an old rice sack under his head and calmly proceeded to die without a sign of emotion of any kind. A tired man going to Bleep could not have acted with less feeling. They are all like this man and one will die supremely happy if he can first kill an enemy. The smallpox is raging among the natives at present, but while it kills them by the score it does not attack our men or the Europeans here. The health of our troops is surprisingly good and the living iB really all that could be desired. Here in Iloilo we fare fully as well as the soldiers at Manila do. We have now begun to get ice and plenty of fine Australian beef together with all sorts of excellent canned stuff. The natives provide an ample sufliciency of chickens, eggs, fruit and green vegetables, so we live as well as anyone and at no great cost either. There is no lack of diversion as the sea affords magnificent bathing and the quarter master's launch provides the beBt of boating. For driving we have the "prebostes" carriage and really lack none of the accessories of the well regulated watering place in the states except the fair ones There are ladies here too but not in the number nor the variant costumes one sees at Newport, Saratoga, or even the Yountsville chutes, if the reports I see in the home paperB regarding this latter

resort are true. However,thiB will soon all change for the rainy season is about over, and before this is received we shall be out in the jungles hunting natives. What I most fear is that after some inconsequential little 6kirmish my company will be dropped at some little native town unknown to history or even local maps—far from the maddening crowd's ignoble strife all right enough, but I cannot promise that our sober wishes will not learn to stray nor, that while we shall pursue the noiseless tenor of our way according to poetic tradition, the sequestered vale of life will be cool for it's gradually warming up to 100 in the Bhade at Bunaet." [Since the above was written the campaign in Panay has opened up and Lieut. Herron'a regiment has been in several fierce little fights,—Editor JOURNAL.]

A Wave land Wedding.

Tuesday morning, at Waveland, occurred the marriage of Delmar Jerrald, of Rosedale, and Mies Madge Thompson, daughter of Mrs. Ellen Thompson. The ceremony occurred at the bride's home and the residence was handsomely decorated for the occasion with vines and chrysanthemums. About fifty guests were assembled at 9 o'clock when to the strains of the Mendelssohn march, played by Miss Mayme Straughn, the bridal party entered the parlor. The party was headed by the little flower girle, Misses Virginia Milligan, of Waveland, and Vera Thompson, of Kingman, both attired in white. Miss Ida Boatman, of Rosedale, acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Mort Thompson, of Kingman, as best man. The bride was attired in a costume of white mull, long sleeves and high neck, and carried bride's roses. J. A. McClure, of this city, as uncle of the bride, gave her in marriage. The ceremony was performed by the Rev.Claude Travis in his most happy manner. Upon the conclusion of the service a wedding breakfast was served and the happy couple left soon after for their future residence in Rosedale, where they will be at home to their friends after December 25. Both are excellent young people and have many friends who congratulate them upon their union.

Twenty-Five Years' Constant Use Without a Failure.

The first indication of croup is hoarseness, and in a child subject to that disease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough remedy iB given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appearB, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in whicb it has not proved effectual. No other preparation can show such a record—twentyfive years constant use without a failure. For sale by Nye &j Booe, druggists.

BLOOMINGDALK, IND., Feb. 20, 1899. Pepsin Syrup Co. GENTLEMEN:—After haviDg given Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a fair trial in my family, I unhesitatingly pronounce it a great boon to all suffering from indigestion, constipation and dyspepsia in all their forms with all their train of evil consequences. I have fought dyspepsia and constipation of a severe character for 25 years, have employed the most skilled physicians that I cou'd reach, have spent hundreds of dollars and now I find more relief in this pleasant remedy than I have found in anything else. To all persons of sedentary occupation in life, I wish to say, buy it and use it. I have spent. 12 years at the postmaster's desk, averaging 14 hours per day, and know now if I had had this remedy

ago it would have saved me much suffering. Respectfully yours, W. M. MCCOT, P. M.,

Pimples Turn to Cancer.

Cancer often results from an Impurity in the blood, inherited from generations back. Few people are entirely free from some taint in the blood, and it is impossible to tell when it will break out in the form of dreaded Cancer. What has appeared to be a mere pimple or scratch has developed into the most malignant Cancer. "I had a severe Cancer which was at first snly a few blotches, that 1 thought vrould

1

soon pass away. I was treated by several able physicians, but in spite of their efforts the Cancer spread until my condition beeamealarming After many months oi treatment and growing steadily worse, I decided to try 8. 8. S. which was so strongly recommended. The first bottle produced an improvement. I continued the medicine, and In four months the last little scab dropped off. Ten years hare elapsed,

and not a sign of the disease has returned." R. P. WILLIAMS, Gillsburg, Miss.

It is dangerous to experiment with Cancer. The disease is beyond th« skill of physicians. S. S. S. is the only cure, because it is the only remedy which goes deep enough to reach Cancer.
