PERSONALS.
PUT OUT THE LIGHTS.
At Prairie Hill Monday night the
Fricke republican* took snap judg-
ment on their democratic opponents
by tactics that to say the leant were
very questionable. By a consulta-
tion among the leaders it was de-
cided not to allow the democratic
side of tbe question to be presented.
In lino with this malice-afore-
thought agreement, they veiy uncere
moniously "dowsed the glim" as
soon as their orators had finished
speaking, thereby "shutting off
d3bate" in a way that Czar Reed
never dared to immitate. The
aggrieved candidates and speakers
are content to allow such brll-dozing
tactics to recoil as a boomerang on
the heads of those who by such con-
duct indicate that their plans and
methods will not bear the ordeal of
public discussion. Beit said to the
credit of the better class of republic
cans that they ere foremost in
repudiating and denouncing the uBe
of such methods in the campaign.

Badly Stunned.
As a result of reckless driving late
Tuesday evening three Bohemian
citizens who had taken a drop too
much, allowed the wagon in which
they were riding to collide with
post on the corner of Sycamore anc
Cottonwood streets, which caused
each of them to execute a somer-
sault into the middle of the road.
One of them came down squarely on
his head and was knocked insensi-
ble for a short time. For a few
minutes it was feared that his inju
ries were serious if not fatol, but
liberal supply of water sprinkled in
his face brought him around alrigh
As soon as the accident occurred
messengers were dispatched for
medical assistance and Drs. Lockett,
Holland and Pahl were on the scene
in an incredibly short time. The
names of the t'rio, or their place of
residence was not learned.

People find just the help they so much
need, in Hood's Sarsaparilla. It fur-
nishes the desired strength by puri-
fying. vitalizing and enriching the
blood, and thus builds up the nerves,
tones the stomach and regulates the
whole system. Read this:
"I want to praiso Hood's Sarsaparilla.
My hjealth run down, and I had the grip.
After that, my heart and nervous system
were badly affected, so that I could not do
my own work. Our physician gave me
some help, but did not cure. I decided
to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. Soon I could
do all my own housework. I have taken
Cu red
Hood's Pills with Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and they have done me much good. I
will not be without them. I have taken 13
bottlesof Hood's Sarsaparilla,and through
the blessing of God, it has cured ir.c.
I worked as hard as ever the past sum-
mer, and I am thankful to say I nm
well. Hood's Pills when taken with
Hood's Sarsaparilla help very much."'
