Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the Fee. There is an old saying that “Nature cures, the doctor takes the fee,” but as everyone knows you can help Nature much and thereby enable it to effect a cure in much less time than is usually 'required. This is particularly true of colds. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy relieves the lungs, liquifies the tough mucus and aids in its expectoration, allays the cough and aids Nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. C Leslie Clark, business manager of the Republican, was in Wolcott today. Constipation and Indigestion. , These, are twin evils. Persons suffering from indigestion are often troubled with constipation. Mrs. Robert Allison, Mattoon, 111., writes that when she first moved to Mattoon she was a great suffer from indigestion and constipation. Food distressed her and there was a feeling like a heavy weight pressing on her stomach and chest. She did not rest well at night, and felt worn out a good part of the time. One bottle of Chamberlain’s Tablets corrected this trouble so that she has since felt like a different person. C

John Bowie was down from Wheatfield today to attend the meeting of the Jasper county council of defense of which he is one of the regular members appointed by Judge Charles W. Hanley. Some Good Advice. “Don’t think too much of your own methods. Watch other people’s ways and learn from them.” This is good advice, especially when bilious or constipated. You will find many people who use Chamberlains’ Tablets for these ailments with the best results, ahd will do well to follow their example. . C Every onion set will grow. l%c to 2% cuter quart. Best onions, 25c per bushel. B. FORSYTHE. ?-’■ Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lynge went to Momence, HI., today.

DEMOCRATS MADE SLATE

PREPARED FOR COMING ELECTION BY SELECTING CANDIDATES WEDNESDAY. / \ A large number of prominent Democratic citizens were in Rensselaer Wednesday for the purpose of selecting the men to be placed before the voters of Jasper county on the primary ballot at the election to be held May 7th. The meeting was held in the East court room and was in charge 'of Frank Welsh, the chairman of the Democratic county central committee. An attempt was made to select the very best candidates for the several offices to which men are to be elected this fall. It is understood that A. D. Hershman, of Gillam township, will again be the Democratic candidate for clerk of the circuit court. He was the nominee two years ago. It is reported that William I. Hoover, who was twice elected sheriff of this county will make the race for that office again. Our good friend and splendid fellow citizen O. K.' Rainer will be, we are advised, the Democatic nominee for county commissioner for this, the second district. 0. K. is a man who loves his family and is greatly interested in his farms, his church and his lodge, but to none of them is he more loyal than to the Democratic party. Back a number of years ago when the Populist party made its great inroads into the ranks of democracy, E. P. Honan was heard to say that he and Uncle Jimmy McEwan were about the only ones left to stand by the poor old donkey. Had Rainier been here that number would have been increased fifty per cent. Frank Alter, of Rensselaer, was selected to oppose S' C. Robinson as candidate for auditor. The selection of candidates for treasurer and county commissioner from their district was left to be selected by the people of Carpenter township. No selection was made for the office of county surveyor.
