DESPONDENT

THE constantly recurring monthly suffering gives women
ttic blues I
How hopeless the future appears, month after month
me same siege with menstrual pain !
Comparatively few women understand that exesssive pain

serious derangement of the
feminine organs.

"Di:ar Mrs. Pinkham I have

Wo havo not tlio slightest doubt that
Mark Hunna Is a groat man, hut still
wo don't think It just to our Creator to
asstiruti that Mark Is responsible for
rain. However, wo think thai thanks
should bo extended to Mark for the
ablo manner in which ho conducted
tho campaign which put in power a
party that was able to make a market
for tho good crops when they did conic.
A local announcing meetings ol tho
Anti-Saloon League was handed in
i hi week for publication. While this
paper in fairness prints tho notice, we
wish to state frankly that we are not in
sympathy with this movement. Tho
C'lltur has, we believe, always advo
cated the high lieetisn policy and will
omliuiiti in that line. Olhci papers
may try to cany water on both shoul
ders, hut not this No limit in tho his
tory of our city has there existed such
a sentiment of harmony as al the pres
ent time among our business men. Wo
do not with to see this harmony di
mpled Im a lUht for something that

I About four yeais ago our democratic
and populist fiieuds, through their
campaign orators and pi ess, made a
grand stand play to convince the peo
ple that unless tho cause of "free sil
ver" was successful thoy would get
hcarccly nothing for their prodHcts.
Kvon yet wo can romombor tho ban
ners which our discontented brothers
thon carried which read: "A vote for
McKinley is a vote for 9c corn, 25c
wheat, 2o nogs and lo cattlo." "A
voto for free siver is a vote to double
the prico of your farm products."
And what has it all come to. The
oauso of froo silver is nearer dead to
day than it evot was. Kvery prophecy
used to further tho cause of free silver
hns proven a fallacy. All people havo
prospered. Why if ono of those fol
io ,vs who did his utmost in '1)0 to con
vince us that without froo tilvor we
would all be reduced to lit subjects for
a poor house, was to visit us today and
advance tho same argument ho would
bo consideied of unsound mind.

Tho republican city convention will
moot at the court house next Wednes
day for tho purposo of placing in nomi
nation city officers. In naming tho se
lections they cannot ho too careful.
One particular man on tho ticket, tho
mayor, should bo carefully considered
boforehand. This city is now at a
point whero a mayor who has the in
terests and upbuilding of the town at
heart can do much for tho town. Wo
aro In favor of a young man, just old
enough to havo good sound business
sense and judgment. A man who is not
possessed ofttho idea that as long as he
lokB after matters insldo tho corporate
limits he has dono his full duty to tho
peoplo, but ono who is willing and able
to look out for now enterprises which
will bo of benefit to tho town. In mak
ing tho choico the convention there
fore should not act hasty, and nomi
nate someone who would simply look
after matters within the corporation
but ono who is capable of looking aftor
tho city's interests elsewhere. One
who could go to other cities and talk
up now enterprises should such bo nec
essary; out who could go into nny
commuuitv of business men or capital
ists and command a respectful hearing
of a project in which he desires their
assistance, and last but not- least, one
who has the ability and inclination to
entertain and interest visitors in our
city, whether there is any prospect of
securing a new enterprise thereby or
not. It is now up to the convention
ami wo await their decision with Inter
e t What will they do
The peoplu of this city are again
asked to put up a bonus toocntcun
enterprise. Whether they will comply
or not wo cannot say, but we rather
think not. The bonus asked for is
rather steep. The gentleman who pin
poses moving the mill hero admits that
ho is at present in a poor location. If
such is the case he can well atloid t"
male1 the move to thi- city. A locality

one At pnneut seven-tenths of the
Hour sold by the Bed Cloud merchants

be ween tho merchants and miller to
handle nothing but tho homo product
this in itself would be a good sized
bonus. And together with our ontiro
Hour market, tho city would probably
give a mill site nnd froo water, but
we havo our doubts about anyone be
ing able to pull a :ash bonus out of our
citizens. If the gentleman was unior
tuuato in solectlng his lirst site he
ought to bo glad to net into a loeation
that oilers every advantage for a miller
to make maney. If the fgentleman
hasn't tho money nocessary to inovo
hero ho can readily got it by forming a
stock company and disposing of part
of the stock to our busiucss men who
would readily lake it under such cir
cumstances, but it is our candid opin
ion that a $'2,000 bonus could not be
pulled out of Bed Cloud for as largo an
enterprise ns a beet sugar factory.
m., at tho court house in tho city of
Bed Cloud, Webster county, Nebraska,
there will bo held a convention of dele
gates from tlio 1st and second wards of
said city of Bed Cloud, representing
tho republican party.
Tho object of said convention is to

following city officers, viz:
Ono candidate for City Mayor.
Ono candidate for City Clerk.
Ono candidate for City Treasurer.
One candidate for Police Judge.
One candidate for Alderman of the
First Ward.
Ono candidate for Alderman of tho

Remedy Equal to this
Obstinate Disease,
There aro dozens of remedies recommended for
Scrofula, hoiiiu of them no doubt being ablo to
nflord temporary relief, but S. S. S. in absolutely
tho only remedy which completely cures it.
.Scrofula is ono of tho mostobstinato, deep-seated
bkod diseases, and is Iwyond tho reach of tho
mniy so-called puriliers and tonics because sonie-
t.lilnir tnnrii f.linn n mnrn fnnln In nxiiilfi'il . S. S. M.
Jb equal to nny blood trouble, and never fails to euro Scrofula, because it
goes down to tho seat of tho disease, thus permanently eliminating every
trnco of tho taint.
Tho serious conseouenees to whlnh Snrnf ula siirnlr Inml
should impress upon thoo nfllieted with it tho vital im
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where tho wrong
treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings hnvo resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. II. 13. Thompson, of Millodgevillo, Gn., writes: "A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on tho glands of my neck,
which had to be lanced and caused mo much suffering. I
was treated for a long while, but tho physicians wero un
itblo to euro me, and my condition was as bnd as when I
began their treatment. Mnny blood remedies wore used,
but without effect. Somo one recommended S. S. S., and
I began to improve as soon as I had taken n few bottles.
Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently.
and havo novor had a sign of tho disease to return." Swift's Specific
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
Is the only remedy which can promptly rench and cure obstinate, deep-seated
blood disoases. By reiving upon it, and not experimenting with the various
so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can bo promptly cured,
instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines
the constitution. 8. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and never fails to
ouro Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Kheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Boils,
Tetter, Pimples, Sores, Dicers, etc. Insist upon S S S. ; nothing can take its place.
