time to rcdistrict the city and have
another ward. Ked Cloud is largo
enough for three wards and there arc
umtiy b'0o,l reasons for an iirrauguient
of that Kind. N'aluiallyllic north and
south portions of the city have dilVei-
ent piobhnis than the center and i
these problems should bu worked out
by residents of those sections. We
are supposedly working on the icpre
sontatlvc plan of city government jet
it is impo.ssiblo for the average man
to get a good understanding of the
view point of a citizen living In an en
tirely dlll'ercnt locality.
Again a council unnpnsed of six
men weuld have a tendency to avoid
deafllccks such as l'tequent,ly occur
with only four members. Then, too,
it. would not ncccMitate the vote of
the mayor so often when there U a
question as to the authority to vote
on a pending measure. It U asking a
good deal of the present force to insist
that they personally inspect ovory
street an I ally, crossings, etc for the
nominal salary which they receivo
and a larger number would divide I lie
work and the result would bo advant
ageous to the entire city.
We respectfully call the present
admlnisttution attention to thlsquest
Ion and ask that thoy investigate care
fully and then ait as theirgond judge
ment dictates.

Avoid Harsh Drugs
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury
to the Bowels.
If you ate subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give tcuipoiui.x
relief and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes nunc annoying than
constipation. They in no way effect
a cine and their tendency is to weaken
the already weak organs witli which
they come in contact.
We honest (j believe, that we hac
the best constipal ion treatment ever
dcised. Our laiih in it is so stioug
that we sell it on the positive guaiMii
tee that it shall not cost the user a

Oidcrlics. These in e prompt, south
iug and most effective in ac'.ioii. They
are made of a recent chemical discov
ery. Their principal ingredient is
odorless, tasteless and colorless. Com
bined with other well known ingred
ients, long established fur tbeir use
fulness In the treatment of eoustip'.i
tion, it forms a tablet which is eaten
just like candy. They may be taken
at any time, either day or night, with
out fear of their causing any iucon
vcnleiu o whatever. They do not gripe,
purge nor cause nausea. They act
without causing any pain or excessive
looseness of the bowels. They are
ideal for children, weak, delicate per
sous and aged people as well as for
the most hearty person.
They come in two size package-, Ii

Visit to Our Hlili .Stltcol.
Last week it was my good pleasure
to visit tbejlligh school and meet one
, bundled aud'seventy yoin.g men and
' women faecjto face in the assembly
room.
At a single lap of the bell in a ino-t
geiitleiuenly and lady like manlier
every student took their seat and in
a moment of time all (was silence. 1
thought how dlll'eiciit when 1 was a
boy at school. The master would rap
on the window sash with his knife
handle and in eight to ten minutes he
would get forty to sixty boys and girls
heated on old fashioned benches ac-
cordinglto age. and size.
rlicn I thought we the taxpayers of
today griiinliletaboiit high taxes oulv
because we do not know of the great
advantages and conveniences all'orded
our boys and girls with our upto date
buildings ami professional educators
III securing an education for our chil
dren. It was my first visit since the
old building was remodeled and our
courteous Miperintendcnt showed me
each grade In their seperate depart
ment. My surprise was next in great
ness to my pleasure to mo the splendid
improvement over the old arrangement
with so small an expenditure.
I believe a close personal acouain
tance will benellt patrons, scholars
ai.d Instructors and tend to enlarge
our school iclatinus.
If you visit our schools you will bo
proud of the lioysund girls your
money helps educate and the boys and
girls will learn to grow proud of you

Joseph Live Slock Market.
.Ian. I1. P. 1 10.
Murine; the pant wech the markets
have nut shown mure change than is
niturally espected from the variation
in supplies from day to day. With
the opening day of this week there
was .some vakncas ilispliiyed in cattle
trade and juices were around luc lower
for steels while cows and heifers sold
about steady. Indications still point
to a liberal early marketing of short
fed steers and a ncareity of full led
beeves for the early spring mouths.
All prices arc away higher than a year
ago anil tnere ts little Hint can lie con
strued as pointing to perinunetrtlj
lower prices. Curient ipiofitioiis
stand at about f.".'"o to fiV-J.'i for the
bulk of steers as they are coming to
inailcet with a few .selling up t -" .V
and something on full fedehoice order
would ipilekly sell above the $7 iniiiK.
Cows and heifers ai o selling at .I.T".
to l.."0 for the bulk of fat grades but
with choice lots of helfeis going up
to S.VJ0 and over. Veal cuhes up to
SS for tbo best. Stock and feeding
cattle niestly at c.'I.T. to i?l..'0 but the
deiiiand is not large.
The market for hogs has been of a
seesaw character but does not show
that the packers have any reliable line
on permanently or larger increased
s supplies in the near future. Of Into
it is noted that recoveries from breaks
are prompt and generally equal to the
breaks and hogs continue to sell well
up toward the ?8.."n mark for the aver
age cost. On the dale of this writing
the top sold at is.',0. and the bulk of
medium and heavy weights at SS.I.'i to
S3 CD while thelight and light ml.sed
grades went at SS.ilO to JS.r.u. These
prices are a little higher than a week
ago and the market does nut show any
weak symptoms.
