spring medicine is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR—don’t forget to tike it The Liver gets sluggish during the Winter, just like all nature, and the system becomes choked up by the accumulated waste, which brings on Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheumatism. You want to wake up your Liver % now, but be sure you take SIMMONS Liver regulator to do it it also regulates the Liver—keeps it properly at w ork, when your system will be free from poison ami the whole bodyinvigorated. You get THE BEST BLOOD when ycur System is in Ai condition, and that will only be when the Liver is kept active. Try a Liver Remedy once and note the difference. But take only SIMMONS Liver Regulator —it is Simmons LIVER REGULATOR which makes the difference Take it *n powder or in liquid already prepared, or make a tea of the powder;ibut take SIMMONS LIVER REGU- „ LATOR. You’ll find the RED Z on every package. Look for it. * W J. H. Zeilln & Go., Philadelphia, Pa. MMM* Ell* Spike County fJrmoctat «!r 1. 3tr€'. STOOPS.

Don’t wail too long before yoh act. yfre were misinformed last week about tha republican county central committee endorsing the economical j administration of the republican ring of Pike coupty.

A uumfcer of j counties in Indiana lias adopted resolutions on the adoption of silver ! at a ratio of 1C to 1. That is the j sentiment in Pike county to a great extent among the democrats, aud also of the populist and republican votf i s. The republcan party of Pike county have adopted astraddle. •—— nt—tgmm . iJ Pike ooumv republicans were left i out in the cold at the district meeting at Evansville last week. James B.

Kolb of Warrick, and Lockwood of Posey, were selected as alternates, white Mason of Spencer, w as selected as elector. Poor |\ke had to be content with 0. j

- Tiie present session of congress, the Iudiana and Kentucky legislatures are three of a kind. It would be a mighty hard thing to find out what either of them has done :iu the way of legislating for the people. 6. E. Nicholson, author ot the temperance bill bearing his name,, was renominated last week to represent the republicans Of Howard county ip the next legislature. Old Nick had a hard time and only pulled through by forty votes. In* all probability there will be two tickets in the field at the coming town election. A number of republicans are talking of holding a convention and nominating an ipdependent republican ticket. The ticket would be ipade up of" strong men for marshal, clerk, treasurer and councilmen. v “It is a disgrace to our civilization ; it is a disgrace to the country itself that we are now expending $30,000,000 a year more than the receipts of the government, and that the congress now in session, with both Houses fully armed with the power to furnish the revenue, is idle and refuses to act."—Senator John Sherman, republican. ‘ Tit* fun is now Hying in republican ! circles. The gang has undertaken to dictate the nominations . and the friends of several candidates are kicking ou the methods used. The county committee had the candidates pledge themselves, but pledges are soon fori gotten when a gang of politicians ! want everything in sight, regardless ■ of the country contingent. Its lovely. I The republicans in convention at Winslow a feW days ago adopted whoop ’em up resolutions ou uational affairs, but when it come to county j affairs it was silent as the grave. And why not? Everybody and everything was endorsed but tho Tike county ring. The wind mill, outhouses,. bridges ami stationery contract tailed to come in tor endorsement. Why was it thusly ? Saih a prominent republican the other day : “Don’t it beat you about the tases in Tike eouuty. It is simply an outrage, and the people should do something t,o put a stop to it." But that is only a ciumnci) saying when you meet a man, coining front the court house who has been to pay his taxes. You bet they .are high and they’re going up next year, at least, everything points in that direction. Tike county afiairs are controlled exclusively by republicans. Mr. Taxpayer, how would you like to make a change? Next November when you go to the polls to cast your vote studv the matter over very carefully and ponder whether or not you will cast your suffrage for the party that has burdened you with taxes and placed an enbriuous debt on you. In fact jt is time now for you to consider the question.

Prof. A. E. Hnn*KK of Vincennes, is prominently mentioned as a candidate before the democratic state convention for (superintendent of school.-, j At present he is superintendent of I the Vinceuues. schools and for years was engaged m schdol work at Terre Haute. He is known throughout the! state as a prominent educator by the] leathers and -choo^ superintendents, and the democrats coujd make no better | The meeting ot the democrats ot | Marion township last Saturday was a Uiti-t en^jj^isiastlc one ami was large* j Iv attended. As a member-ot the county central committee the old j wheel-horse of democracy of Marion | township, Captajn ^Sasser Svllivan, j wa* selected by acclamation. The captain i* a great w*orker, has the j confidence of the people and the nerve to sal! in and win. He is one of the | tew old soldiers in Pike county who J has served in two wars, having taken j part in the Mexican and civil wdrs.i The democracy of Marion i* to ue congratulated upon the selection of j the captain as their leader iu the j campaign of'96. ... m. ■1. The how! still goes up from the j tax-payers of theeooiify. The board ! of review has already caused two law 1 -nits in which Ihe plaintiffs won their J cases, and at the tft*xt term of court i there will probably be other eases filed. The first suit was that against! the levy of 13 cents pnthe 1100 tori school bond fund purposes. It wasj knocked pqt in court. The amount j which the tax-payers gained there! was $1,020 The next suit was | brought to set aside the raise In j valuation of ijawn property by. the! board of review after the time limited i bv law had expired. The taxes on ; the increased valuation would have •mounted to something like $IUDQ» which the state, county and town Itises, but wilt remaiu in the pockets of the lax-payers. The board also

raised the valuation of lands in the several townships of the county, all of which will stand, save that of Washington township, which was raised after the time had expired. The other townships have to stand the raise. The taxes for the extra amount will have to be refunded by the board ot commissioners. In the. latter raise by the board it is understood that suit will be brought at the next session of the circuit court. This iucreased valuation of the lauds in Washington township would bring in taxes |o the amount of #1,057. Something of a muddle we’re in at the present time. The Prefs made a weak effort to defend Its course in the stationery contract last week. Last year the sta- | lionerycost the'people of Pike county #575. The first: session under the new contract bills were allowed to the amount of #359.68. At that rate it will cost the people of the county S #1,438.72. All that the editor of the ! Press may say about us having a “golden job press” ami printing “millions of posters” In the unknown future has nothing to do with the cost of the stationery. It is the present stationery contract that the taxI payers want to Jmotv something about. The editor of the Press knows it to be a fact that the editor of this paper was not given a chance to put In a bid, nor was any otjber party but the editor of the Press and the Sentijuel company. All bidders should | have had a chance. Dollars would | have been saved had other bidders been allowed to compete. The Democrat expects to publish the schedule iu full during the next few weeks when it will be seen just what the various articles cost. Judge Ely has. refused to enroll his name on the democratic primary tickets of Dubois county. He is miffed because a Dutois county mau has announced himself as a candidate for circuit Judge.—Jasper Herald. On the contrary Judge Ely is not miffed because of a Dubois county man coining out for judge. It would have been impossible for Mr. Ely to have Secured a majority vote iu that county and thus secure the unit vote as adopted by a few democrats of that county who desired to place a gag rule on the minority In that county and the majority in Pike.
