Bryan expected to spend a year abroad when he sailed last fall and he has given out nothing to the contrary since.—Columbia City Post. John Isenbarster. of North Manchester, is doing an extra lot of rustling to be nominated for treasurer of State by the Democrats. His friends vouch for his honesty and inegrity, and the credentials look all right. A good ticket should be made his year, as it is officers and not candidates that will be given credentials by the next Demoeraie gtate convention. Governor Folk, of Missouri, thus sets forth the opportunity for the Democratic party: “No grander mission ean lie in store for the Democratic party than to continue the fight for the rule of the people against 'graft’ and special privileges. Clothed in the armor of righteous cause, the attack of Democracy upon the citadel of 'graft* and monopoly, if aggressive enough, must triumph in the end, for the principles of true Democracy are ‘enduring bees rethey are just and invincible, because they are right.’ ”

We carry large stocks of merchandise to the towns every day. These towns are helped in the matter of shipping facilities as well as otherwise, and it is possible with trolley lines running through 'rvr -treels to unload goods at the doors of many business houses, thus saving uraying expense.”—Fort Wayne Journal- Gazette. Bryan'.- Century Magazine article on socialism continues to be the subject of discussion in business, financial and social, circles. The article has elicited much favorable comment. It has made a decided bit with many not hitherto friendly to the distinguished Nebraskan. Sinee the appearance of Mr. Bryan’s magazine article an incident of last week Is recalled. At a Democratic banquet given by August Belmont to prominent members of the party DeLa.uey Nicoles, who had a eonspic-ious part in the managemen of Parker's campaign in 1904, took occasion to denounce fierc-e- --, ly the treachery of Wiiiiam Randolph Hearst and to laud in unstinted terms the stand taken in the contest by Mr. Bryan. These significant utterances are still further emphasized by a leading editorial in the New York Times, a paper that in the past has found but little to commend in Mr. Bryan.*

Ya.. April 10.—Little Charles Kelly. 14. has been unable for * seven years to swallow solid foods. He weighs thirty pounds and ia eon-equenee of his lack of nourishment has no muscular development. Tibs pitiable conditon was brought . about when the little patient was a , strong and hearty youngster. One day , he drank by mistake a solution of , lye or potash used in making soap. His throat contracted, cutting off , communication with the digestive or- . gaii-. A number of operations proved unsuccessful, and the patient wasted . away to a mere shadow. At last the . plan of feeding him with a silver ■ tube through an incision in the stom- ■ ach was adopted. This and his abilty to breathe is said to have kept . him alive. Occasionally he can swallow a little water. A

The postoffice department has issued a bulk-la announcing that rural free delivery service in many section* of the country will be tempoi-at'Ay withdrawn unless local aitlhorties take steps* immediately to secure imp>rovement of the road*.

On Friday evening. April 33, the members of the Odd Fellows lodge will hold their last meeiing in the old hall and that meeting will be a memorable one for all. Regular work and some degree work will be done and better than that, a big, oldfashioned supp>er will be served. All jhe members of the order and their families are invited to participate in the latter event. The evening will also have a sort of sad side, too. for there hare been many good titnes in the old hall.

Pierce s Golden Medical i covery, the famous medicine fur stomach, torpid liver or biliousness in* all catarrhal diseases wherever located have printed upon it, in plain Evilil ? full and complete list of all the ingredi* ents composing it. but a small book ha* been compiled from numerous standard medical works, of all the different - i l, (l ]» of practice, containing very numerous extract' from the writings of h ading practitioners of medicine, endorsing in the ttrowjcst powiMe terms, each and every ingredient contained in Dr. Pierce’s medicines. One of these little book -wm be maibd free to any one sending add res# on postal card or by letter, to Dr. K v Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y.. and requesting the same. From this little book it will learned that Dr. Pjerce’s medicines tontain no alßohol, narcotics, mineral ag. nt* or other poisonous or injurious agents l that thPV are made from indigenm;- or native, medicinal roots cf great value, the properties of which are extracted end perfectly preserved by the use of triple* refined, chemically pure glycerine of proper strength. It will also he found thav the glycerine employed greatlv enhances the curative principles of the several roots employed, as it is the lest possible solvent of their medicinal principles. besides possessing intrinsic medicinal value of Us own. being a fine demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and antiferment. From perusing this little book of exi tracts, it will be found that some of the I most valuable ingredients contained in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over-worked, "rundown* and debilitated women, were employed, long years ago. by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaw s. In fart, one of the most valuable medicinal plants entering into the composition of T)r. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription was known to the Indians as "Squaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the uses of not a few of our most valuable native, medicinal plants I was gained from the Indians. As made up by improved and exact processes. the "Favorite Prescription" is a most efficient remedy for rarulating all ■ the womanly functions, com- : ng dis- | placements, as pre-lapsus, anteversion and retroversion, overcoming painful periods, toning up the nerves and 1 ringing about ape rfe-ct state of health. It cures the backache, the dragging-eiown distress in the pe-lvic region, the pain and tenderness over the ovaries, dries up the- j. .vie catarrhal drain, so disagreeable and we; kening. and overcome s every form of weak* pess incident to the organs distinctly feminine. " Favorite Prescription” is the only med* icine for women, the makers of w hich are not afraid to print their formula on th.9 bottle wrapper, thus taking the ir patron* into their lull confidence. It is the onTy medicine for women, every ingredi- .t of which has the- strongest possible endorse* mentof the most eminent medical practitioners and writers of our day. recommending it for the diseases for which " Favorite Prescription "is used. It is the only ppt: up ffifSUcine for women. M id through druggists.which does not contain a large percentage of alcohol, so harmful in the long run. especially to delicate i women. It has more genuine cures »*, jtJ I credit than all othcr.medicines " rv n combined, havirs of® “ .erers from the S’Jfgeon’s knife. It has flellcffl. weak women to str- ng >ha hp a ith and virility, making Motherhood possible where there was barrenness before, thereby brightening : and making happy many thousands of homes by the advent of little ones to strengthen the marital bonds and add sunshine where gloom and despondency I had reigned before.
