OABTORXA. Signature Fred Stephenson, of Parr, who is a traveling salesman, was recency a passenger on a train running out of Omaha and several passengers took a poll of all the passengers, and found that of the 158 voters on the train 104 were for Taft and 54 for Bryan. From which we can readily conclude that Taft has much the better of it In the west and in his own home state. This is about the same thing that other polls taken In other parts of the country have shown. John Renlcker’s public sale took place Tuesday and Francis Hayes’ sale occurs today, both in Barkley township. The fact that horses are not so greatly needed on the farm at this time of the year resulted in the prices of these being lower than usual but fair prices prevailed nevertheless.

It is a little early to create much interest in sales.

What Do They Cure I The above question is often asked concerning Dr. Pierce’s two leading medicines, "Golden Medical Discovery” and •Favorite Prescription.” ■ The answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery ” is a most potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably in a curative way upon all the mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronehial tubes, stomach, bowels and bladdeorcuring a large per cent, of catarrhal cases whether Ahe disease affects the nasal parages, the ibwat, larynx, bronchia, stomaeffsfas cataPHtal dyspepsia), bowels i( as bladder, uterus or other pelvic orgfflnte Even in the chronle nr nfrratlva at airy nf ths—-affections-It la often successful in affect**A*n6" IfAvQrltft Ptyaqrfnttftn*to tulvfscd for the djireoLpneJessofdiseases—peculiar weaknessST"TlATCffWffffffts an~u Is a powerful ictihg ihvjgbfaVIng tonic and nervine. For weak wornout, over-worked women—no matter what has caused the break-down, "Favorite Prescription’will be found most effective In building up the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving the formulae of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent medical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in prescribing, say of each Ingredient entering into these medicines. The words of praise bestowed on the several Ingredients entering into Doctor Pierce’s medicines by such writers should have more weight than any amount of non - professional testimonials, because such men are writing for the guidance of their medical brethren and know whereof they speak. Both medicines are non-alcoholic, nonsecret, and contain no harmful habitforming drugs, being composed of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American medicinal forest plants They are both sold by dealers in medicine. You can’t afford to accept as a substitute for one of these medicines of known composition, •w secret nostrntt Dr. Pierce’s Pellets, small, sugar-coated, easy to take as candy, regulate and invigorate stomach, liver and bowels.

A DAILY DELIGHT That is a stranger to many, but should not be, is the use of a full set of teeth. If you have neglected and allowed most of your teeth to waste away, you can’t do better than to protect the remaining good teeth by securing a plate at once. You can easily become accustomed to this necessity when it is fitted with extreme care. The minutest attention I give to this work gives many of my patients a wish to have had a plate before. Come in and I will tell you about the kind most suitable for you—the kind that will not arouse your temper. DR. HORTON OPP COURTHOUSE
