The republicans seem to be considerably sobered by the largely increased democratic majority revealed a few days ago in the Sixth congressional district of Missouri, where an election was held to choose a successor to the late Representative De Armond. In 1908 the democratic plurality was 2,160 —the present democratic plurality is 3,761. The Payne tariff and the present high prices were made the main issue in the contest, the dispatches says, so that this is the first test of popular feeling on the subject, and the result is causing some deep thought. If the democratic vote should rise in proportion throughout the country next November, it might easily mean a democratic house of representatives, and some of the republican papers are plainly warning their party of the danger. A well-informed writer on Indiana politics—especially the republican end of it —after saying that the republican state convention will indorse Beveridge as chief fiddler in the campaign and Taft as a painful incident, then lefers in this wise to the Hon. Jim Watson: “Ex-Congressman Watson asserts that ne proposes & make speeches throughout the campaign in which he will stand by the president and defend the Payne-Aldrich bill. He is said to regard that as a true test of republicanism under the present circumstances. His attitude is regarded by many of Senator Beveridge's followers as a subterfuge by which he may stir up trouble within the party.” In other words, according to the view of the Beveridge contingent, it is going to be a case of “high crimes and misdemeanors" in the coming campaign for any republican to do as much as “cheep” unless he cheeps for the Hon. Albert Jeremiah. Don't fail to attend the suit opening at the Boston store, Tuesday, March Ist. 49 Undertakers are all fighting 49. o WANTED —To buy small fire-proof safe.

This warld famous rifle shot, who holds the championship of 100 pigeons in 100 consecutive shots, is living at Lincoln, 111. Recently interviewed, he says: “I have suffered a long time with kidney and bladder trouble and have used several well known kidney medicines, all of which gave me no relief until I started taki ing Foley’s Kidney Pills. Before I used Foley’s Kidney Pills I was subjected to severe backaches and pains in my kidneys with suppression and oftentimes a cloudy voiding. While arising in the morning I would get dull headaches. Now I have taken three bottles of Foley's Kidney Pills and feel 100 per cent better. I am never bothered with my kidneys or bladder and once more feel like my ■ own self. All this I owe soley to Foley’s Kidney Pills and always recommend them to my fellow sufferers.” | Foley’s Kidney Remedy will cure any case of kidney or bladder trouble that Is not beyond the reach of medicine.
