WESS REED.
For the year ending May 1st,
1900,Iowa manufactured 84,263,-
062 pounds of butter in creamer-
ies, and 4,212,432 pounds of fac-
tory cheese. This does not in-
clude butter and cheese made by
farmers for home use and for the
local markets.
More than $1,000,000 in cold
cash and checks was paid over
the day after the election in
Wall street by betting commis-
sioners to the winners of election
bets. And while this interesting
ceremony was going on half the
brokers on the street were squab-
bling over another $500,000 wag-
ered on doubtful states.
Torturing skin eruptions, burns
and sores are soothed at once
and promptly healed by applying
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, the
best known cure for piles. Be-
ware of worthless counterfeits.
For all fresh cuts or wounds,
either on the human subject or
on animals, Ballard’s vSnow
Liniment is excellent; while for
corn-huskers’ sprained wrists,
barbed-wire cuts and sores on
working horses, it cannot be too
highly commended. Price, 25
and 50 cents.
A Louisville, Ky.,business man
is much wiser than he was a few
days ago. It came about this way:
On his way home the other even-
ing a pretty black-eyed, black-
haired girl smiled at him and he
asked her if he might protect her
on her way home. She consent-
ed and he in turn put his arm
around her shapely waist and
right there she relieved him of
his fine gold watch.
Many people are suffering
from indigestion or dyspepsia,
when one single bottle of Herb-
ine would bring about a prompt
and permanent cure. A few
doses will do more for a weak
stomach than a prolonged course
of any other medicine. Price,
50 cents.
For a nice set of buggy harness
go to L. Dannenman’s.
The late William L. Wilson
had a death almost exactly par-
alel to that of Robert E. Lee.
The two men not only died in
the same office, but in the same
house, in the same room and in
the same bed, and they were
buried in the same chapel.
The beef trust put up the price
of beef one cent a pound the day
after the election. The salt trust
followed suit and started salt a
soaring. Our Republican friends
may account for the increase in
the price of salt by the demand
by the Democrats in their tour up
salt creek, but it will be difficult
to make the people believe that
there is any reason for raising
the price on beef other than the
desire of Swift and Armour to in-
crease the profits in their own
pockets.
Feelings of safety pervade the
household that uses One Minute
Cough Cure, the only harmless
remedy that produces immediate
results. . It is infallible for
coughs, colds, croup and all
throat and lung troubles. It
will prevent consumption.
With the first of November
comes the first real cold snap.
Overcoats and wraps are the
things now most needed. See
our stock and quit shivering by
buying one.—S. L. Erwin & Co.

Do You Know
That two-thirds of your lifetime

DontYguThink
you ought to be careful in selecting
such an important portion of your
wearing apparel?
The Next Time
you buy a pair of shoes
be sure you ask for the famous
“Rigeur” mi “Amigo" Shoes

They are made by the makers of
“CLOVER BRAND” SHOES
THE FOUR-LEAF CLOVER ON A SHOE

MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD
SHOULD WEAR THEM.
. ASK FOR THEM.
Why is it Thus?
We are neither a lawyer nor
the son of a lawyer, but looking
at it from a common-sense stand-
point, why should the entire
state of Texas have to vote on a
proposition that concerns only a
portion of the people of the state?
The amendment to allow the peo-
ple of certain counties in the
the state to vote a tax upon them-
selves for irrigation purposes was
defeated in the recent election
and by people who are not con-
cerned in the least. If the peo-
ple of a certain section of
the state want to impose
upon themselves a tax for
local purposes it seems the height
of folly for those outside of those
sections to say no. If the people
of the state of Texas can vote
upon a question of taxation in-
volving every tax payer in the
state and their decision is the
law on that question, why should
not the people of any given sec-
tion of the state be allowed to vote
upon themselves any tax they
may see fit that involves no one
outside that section? It may be,
of course, that the constitution
forbids this, but if it does, then
it ought to be changed. If the
action of any section of the state
in thus imposing upon itself a
tax involves in any manner the
balance of the state, then the law
should be so constructed as to do
away with this feature. Local
self-government to the greatest
possible limit is the American
idea, and the fact that all the
people of the state have a voice
in matters like the one in
question is not in accordance
with the American idea; at least,
it doesn’t look that way to us.
It seems that the attorney gener-
al’s department ought to be
sufficient protection to the state
in such cases, and if the people
of any section vote to tax them-
selves for any purpose whatever,
the legal department should be
the authority as to the limit of
such taxation and the amount of
bonds to be issued for the pur-
pose for which the taxation is
voted.—Whitewright Sun.
Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has
the largest sale of any medicine
in the civilized world. Your
mothers’ and grandmothers’
never thought of using anything
else for indigestion or billious-
ness. Doctors were scarce and
they seldom heard of appendici-
tis, nervous prostration or heart
_ failure, etc. They used August
'Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the ner-
vous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of
Green’s August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there
is nothing serious the matter
with you. For sale by Black &

DODD CITY ITEMS.
From the News:
Rev. and Mrs. J. H. TaylOf
have been entertaining a new
daughter since Tuesday morning.
On Wednesday evening about
6:30, at the home of the bride’s
parents, two or three miles south
of the city, Mr. Henry Griffin and
Miss Alice Harris were united in
marriage by Rev. J. H. Taylor.
The Commissioners Court has
established a smallpox camp at
the county farm, where patients
will be received from any part of
the county. Three patients are
being cared for there now. This
arrangement will relieve the
towns and communities of grave
responsibilities and prove a sav-
ing of much expense to the
county.

An interesting result of the
census returns is that the “cen-
ter of population” remains prac-
tically stationary. Ten years ago
it was near Greensburg, a small
town in the southern part of In-
diana, or exactly in latitude 39
degrees, 11 minutes, and 56 sec-
onds, and longitude 85 degrees,
32 minutes, and 53 seconds. In
the past decade the country’s
population has increased thirteen
million two hundred and twenty-
five thousand, and, roundly
speaking, half of this has been
west of the point formerly fixed
and half east of it.
Rat in Horse’s Nose.
Here is a rat story of an un-
usual nature, but it is true never-
theless. A team belonging to a
Leonard livery firm was lodged
at Hill & Dillard’s stable here
Wednesday night. In feeding
the horses the next morning, Mr.
Dillard observed that one of the
horses had some blood on its
nose, but supposed that it had
scratched it upon a nail and paid
no particular attention to it.
Later on he hitched them up and
just as the driver was preparing
to start home the horse with the
injured nose gave a Wild snort
and discharged from one of its
nostrils a live rodent. Mr. Dil-
lard was standing near and was
a witness to the strange incident.
He managed to put his foot on
the pest and ended its earthly
oareer. Mr. Dillard states that
it was either a small rat or a
very large mouse. This is
another case of where truth is
stranger than fiction.—Dodd City
News.
The Twipe--arWeek Republic
Every Monday and Thursday
a newspaper as good as a mag-
azine—and better, for it contains
the latest by telegraph as well as
interesting stories—is sent to the
subscribers of the “Twice-a-
Week” Republic, which is only
$1 a year.
‘ The man who reads the “Twice
a-Week” Republic knows all
about affairs political, domestic
and foreign events; is posted
about the markets and commer-
cial matters generally.
The woman who reads the
“Twice-a-Week” Republic gath-
ers a bit of valuable information
about household affairs and late
fashions and finds a recreation in
the bright stories that come un-
der both the headings of facts
and fiction. There is gossip
about new bo,oka and a dozen
other topics of especial interest
to the wide-awake paan and wo-
man. ___

Remarkable Cotton Sale.
J. K. McCain, who lives ten
miles northeast of Clarksville,sold
six bales of cotton in Clarksville
Thursday at the highest price
paid for cotton off the wagon any-
where at any time since the years
immediately following the oivil
war. It puts Clarksville, Texas,
ahead of any town in the South
as a cotton market. Mr. Mc-
Cain’s cotton graded strict good
middling and the staple was 1 5-
46. The price paid was 13 1-4
cents a pound and the buyers
Nickels & Hooks of this city. All
the bales save one weighed over
five hundred pounds and the to-
tal price, including the seed, was
about $455 for the six bales. Mr.
McCain stated that the cotton
was picked in August and Sep-
tember and carefully handled. It
was tramped down tight in pens
and kept dry until taken to the
gin. Igo’s gin did the work and
the machinery was run slow,
thereby saving the full length of
the staple. Mr. McCain thinks it
is a great mistake for farmers to
haul staple cotton to the gin di-
rect from the pickers’ hands. He
argues that if the seed cotton is
packed close in pens for a few
weeks before ginning the oil in
the seed nourishes the lint—
strengthening and glossing it.—
Clarksville Times.
J. H. Richards, who was for
many years “the hermit of Re-
fugio,” but who some time ago
moved to Normanna, in Bee
county, is dead. Mr. Richards
was quite aged. He was a
blacksmith by trade and is said
to have been very wealthy. It is
reported that he has made and
saved since he became a hermit
and quit for the most part the
society of men, over $100,000,
most of which he had when he
died.
Mark Hanna’s politics are in-
tensely practical. It is said the
way he figures on close states is:
Say Indiana with 3000 election
precincts. Besides the voters he
can depend on he wants to get
15000 from the enemy. Say the
boxes average 200 votes each.
He makes an estimate that he
must get at least 5 from each box.
One or more trusty leaders are
placed in the precinct a number
of days before the election to
study the situation, learn the
character of the voters and spot
his men. He must secure 5 cer-
tain and more if he can do so at
a reasonable price. It takes all
the way up from $5 to $50 or
more to secure each voter, but
dollars are as grains upon the
seashore to Hanna and his trust
supporters. With this plan
thoroughly worked success is
generally certain. And by such
methods was the election carried.

LAfiONIA ITEMII.
From the NeW§,
Last Tuesday afternoon Mr. O.
W. Gadd, While working at his
gin, seven miles south of town,
was caught in the gin saws, re-
ceiving injuries from which death
ensued within a few hours. Mr.
Gadd was working under the
stand cleaning out the moats
with a short broom. In some in-
explicacle manner he came in
contact with the saws which were
turning at high speed. One arm
was fearfully mangled within a
few seconds. The accident oc-
curred at 5 o’clock in the after-
noon and at 11 death came to the
relief of the sufferer.
Mr. A. Hills is in Temple where
he is under medical treatment at
the Santa Fe hospital.
Leonard Blakeney sustained a
fractured leg in a friendly wrest-
ling match with playmates at the
school grounds last Monday.
Last Saturday night a difficulty
arose between George Allard and
Bob Merril in which the latter
Sustained dangerous injuries
about the head. The men were
on good terms prior to the trouble
which came up over some trivial
matter. Merrill has a broken jaw
and fracture of the skull from
which he had sufferred greatly.
His condition is much better at
present and it is thought he will
sustain no permanent injury. Al-
lard is out on bond in the sum of
$300.
Six Frightful Failures.
Six terrible failures of six dif-
ferent doctors nearly sent ¥m.
H. Mullen, of Lockland, O., to
an early grave. All said that he
had a fatal lung trouble and that
he must soon die. But he was
urged to try Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery for Consumption. After
taking five bottles he was en-
tirely cured. It is positively
guaranteed to cure all disease of
throat, chest and lungs, includ-
ing coughs, colds, la grippe,
pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma,
hay fever, croup, whooping
cough, 50c and $1. Trial bottles

store.
Women voted for president in
four States at the reeent election.
In three of them—Colorado, Wy-
oming and Utah—they had the
sufferage four years ago. In
Idaho they voted for president
for the first time. All four of the
states went for Bryan in 1896,
three of them by heavy majori-
ties, Colorado gave 135,000 plu-
rality, Utah 51,000, Idaho 17,000
and Wyoming 593. This year two
cf these states went Republican
and in the others the Democratic
vote was greatly reduced.
Why Suffer With Backache.
I have suffered several years
with backache, and after taking
one bottle of Smith’s Sure Kid-
ney Cure, I have been cured.
Since then I have not been
troubled with my back, Too
much cannot be said in its praise.
