This
Sample's Amendment.
Hon. S.jN.'Sample's bill amending
the existing''primary"election law, is
a good one and removes all and sin
gular objections developing in "the
last primary election.
It abolishes the electoral college
feature—an imposition upon common
sense-and decent fairness. It pro
vides that a candidate must receive a
majority of the popular vote in the
first primary, or run the'gauntlet in
the second with , the n xt highest
competitor.
The cost of primaries must be di
vided equally between state and coun
ty candidates in order to'prevent the
mulcting of'the former,'as was done
in the last primary. The surplus re
maining in the ; hands of ^executive
committees, after all expenses are
paid, must be returned to candidates
pro rata.
In case there is but one candidate
for an office, state or county, the ex
ecutive committee may declare him
the nominee fifteen days before elec
tion and thus "save the expense of
canvass.
Mr. Sample was wise enough to let
Section 1 of the present bill/remain
as it is. This section makes it man
datory that all 'nominations for state,
district and county officers/ shall be
made on the same day throughout the
state by primary election.—Water

Rev. Francis P. Doory, pastor of the

was great danger of the whole altar col

that all the cement between the marble
slabs and the mortar between the bricks

When the first slab was removed thou

floor. They were exceedingly lively,
but hundreds of them were captured.
To demonstrate that the bugs actual

Millionaires' Por Stomach.
The worn-out stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub
lic prints as a horrible example of the
evils attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far great
er among the toilers. Dyspepsia and
indigestion are rampant among UbdM
people, and they suffer far worse tor
tures than the millionaire unless they
avail themselvas of a standard medicine
like Green's August Flower, which has
been a favorite household remedy for all
"stomach troubles for over thirty-five
years. August Flower rouses the torpid
liver, thus creating appetite and insur

Mr, W. W, Prickett, Smithfield, Ills,,
writes Sept. 10th. 1801: "1 had been suf

my face, which gave me great annoy
ance and unbearable itching. I was
using Ballard's Snow Liniment fora
sore leg, and through an accident I
rubbed some of the liniment on the can
cer, and as it gave me almost instant
relief, I decided to continue to use tbe
liniment on the cancer. In a short time
the cancer came out, my face healed up
and there is not the slightest scar left.
I li ive implicit faith in the merits of
this preparation, and it cannot be too
highly recommended." 25 c. 50c. and
