nouncement that ex Sheriff John W.
Runchey had committed suicide, some
time during Stturday night by bang

had seen and talked to Mr Runchey
dining the day noticed nothing un
usual in his actions, and ho was ap
parently in tho best of spirit. During
the past few days he had boon engaged
in tepaiuting the Holland House, nnd
when his tlnj's work on Saturday had
been completed he wont to bis homo

sigiiillcanco of hit letn.trk and finally
succeeded in persuading li is wife and

entile evening Mrs. Runchey had a
premonition that nil was not right nnd
upon leturning from the party, nt
about 11 o'clock, sho went immediately
to her bedroom in search of her bus
baud. Upon striking n light sho was
horror-stricken to find him banging to
tho bedpost. Her cries brought assist
ance and the body wns cut down. Med
ical aid was summoned, but to no
avail, as lifo had apparently boon ex
tinct for several hours
Tito position in which tho body was
found indicated that Mr. Runchay had
deliberately strangled himsolf to death.
Taking a small cord ho fastened ono
end to tho hondboard of the bod, mak
ing a slipnooso in tho other. Placing
tho noose around his throat, ho sank
fonvaul, his feet resting on the lloor,
and death icsulted from strangulation.
No definite cause bus been unsigned
for Mr. Runchoy's rash act, though ho
has been Mitloring Mom lit of despo.id

of micida! ui'tnta, and upon two pre
vious neensmni dining the past year

Tho political atmosphere is clearing,
now that the storm is over
Volume 1, No. 1, of tho Nebraska

bright little newspaper is designed to

Moi ton's paper, which suspended pub
licntion last week.
F. C. Johnson of Stillwater town
ship, who was nominated by tho re
publican conventfoti for the oflico of
county commissioner from tho First
district, is undoubtedly tho right man
for tho place. This is ono of tho most
important olllces in tho county, and to
properly (ill tho oflico requires a man
of more thnn avenge ability. Such a
man is Mr. Johnson, and wo beleve
that tho voters of tho Fitst district can
servo their district in no better way
than by electing hint
E B. Smith, who was nominated for
tin1 olllco of county commissioner for
this district, hardly needs nn introduc
tion to the people of this community,
cither as nn oflicer of the county or as
a man, nor is it necessary to say what
kind of a commissioner be will make,
nr bis work in that oflico is still fresh
in tho memory of tho pooplo of this
disttict. Ono of the strongest argu
ments in bis favor is the fact that,
knowing his record so well, ho was
nominated for tho position again.
Hero is hoping that Mr. Smith will not
only be olectod, but by a majority so
largo that bis previous ono will bo as
nothing compared to it.

seeks the means of health she is often
like a woman blindfold. She has no
confidence. She cannot tell what her
effort will lead to. She turns now to
this side and then to the other in uncer
tainty and doubt.
The sick woman who uses Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription may do so with
absolute confidence. It invites open
eyed investigation. There need lie no
hesitation in following the hundreds of
thousands of women who have found a
perfect cure for womanly ills in the use
of this medicine.
" Favorite Prescription " cures irregu

heals inflammation and ulceration and
cures female weakness.

would observe results they would find
that the doctors' prescriptions do not

credit for.

vised McElrce's Wine of Carduland Thed.

have every reason to thank him for a new
life opened up to me with restored health,
and It only took three months to cure me."
Wine of Cardui isaregulntorof tho
