It is rather a serious matter to call a person a liar and when the qualify ing word is added, the statement is made as strong as words can express, and this is exactly what we wish to do when we accuse Zook of the Lime Springs Sun, of willfully lying in his article "Wny Taxes are High." If the PLAIN DEALER alone was con cerned, we would pay no attention to his hungry whine, but we are satisfied that In awarding the contract to the PLAIN DEALEB, the board was actu ated not by a desire to give anyone^ a "graft" from the public treasury but to secure a good job of printing on time and with the least trouble to the officers who have Its preparation in charge. Zook's first statement that "the first of the month the editor of the Sun made a visit to the county seat and asked why he could not make & bid," &c., is false. Instead of this he wrote the auditor In regard to the matter and was answered by mall, the auditor enclosing the 1903 report and telling him It would be about the same this year, and Zook never entered the Auditor's office, as he claims, and never was told it was anyone's turn to print it. The question of veracity between the Auditor and Zook, we will leave to our readers to judge. Zook also makes a statement that is true but misleadlngly used and be knew it: He says the Cresco printers were allowed $192.91 for printing and says that if there is a bonus of 135 on every hundred it must take quite a bit out of the pockets of the taxpay ers. Zook knows that the two main items of the 9192.91 were the amounts paid the PLAIN DEALEB and Times for the official publication of pro ceedings, &c., and is paid at a rate fixed by law and Zook can see and figure the bills if he doubts their correctness. Part of the amount was for job print ing, charged at the same price that the Cresco printers make all their customers, a price which enables them to live and buy coal but not get rich on. Zook is continually bragging about the work done for OreBCO parties. We know he occasionally does work for Cresco parties and we have never blamed them for going to Zook with the work as when a man donates bis work and simply gets pay for his stook, no printer with good sense wishes to compete with him. Cresco printers are glad to see Zook get such obs for every one leaves him worse off than before and means the ulti mate extinction of one fool, (price cutting competitor. In his last issue he crows about the delivering of a big order to Cresco parties and on another page, in one of his regular weekly whines he says: "All we need money for is to buy coal to thaw out the ink to print a paper. You, may notloe that we did not get the Ink quite warm enough last week. We don't know how it will be this week, but if we don't get some of the money that is coming to us p. d. q., we will have to shut up the shop and wait for the good old summer time to thaw things out." The Board probably took this into consideration in awarding the ob and as they wanted it before next summer wisely decided to give it to some one who could get trusted for coal till the job was out. Beally, those Cresco parties should pay up for.that last job at Zook's—he needs the money. SERGEANT SMITH'S SEARCH. Traveled All Over World, But Not Successful Until He Beached Cresco. Sergeant Smith, who is rememered here as hiving been one of the first to join the Btiugh Bidetti^ was In town yesterday, visiting old friends for the Qrst time In many years.

Sergeant Smith has smok ed Porto Bican cigars, Cuban per fectos, and Manila cheroots, but from now on, says he will have nothing but the "Chico," as it Is a good, clean cigar, with long Havana filler, smok ing with a firm ash and a regular 25c. fragrance.

Complainte are constantly being made that meat is being and has been sold in Cresco meat markets from dis eased animals or animals in no fit con dition to be butohered. Last week one of our butchers was notified by the authorities to not butober four cows, heavy with calf, which he had taken to his slaughter house. Cresco people pay a large enough price for their meats to get something good and from healthy animals, and a duly authorized Inspection of all animals for butcher would be a wise proceed ing and enable us to eat our beafsteak with more peace of mind, as well as relieve every butcher from suspicion and accusation of every kind.

Moulton, city offloer, says: "I will never lose an opportunity of advising the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, for 1 have the best of reason for so doing. For some time a con stant dull aohing across the loins clung to me persistently, and If It ever let up it changed to sharp twinges in the kidneys, particularly so If I stooped or lifted anything. As might be expected from a man whoBe kid neys were not healthy a difficulty with the kidney secretion was plainly evi dent Indicated by discoloration and Ir regularity at night. Being exposed to all kinds of weather and contract ing colds which seated themselves in the loins may have been the original cause of the disturbance, at any rate being subject to these conditions cer tainly aggravated the attacks when they occurred. 1 tried more than one remedy—all guaranteed to cure kid ney complaint—but relief was as re motely In the distance the day I went to the Shuttleworth Drug Co's store for Doan's Kidney Pills as It was when I noticed the first symptom of pain. Before I had finished the treatment the urinary difficulty disappeared and' the backache ceased. At present I am able to attend to my duties with out any Inconvenience.
