i i Dan V- Stephens , democratic
candidate for congress in the
third district , is elected by an es
timated majority of 2,500.
County division -was handed a
lemon proper.at the election Tues
day. The returns show that out
side of Merriman and Cody , even
in territory adjacent to these
towns , sentiment was strongly
against it" . One prominent demo
crat residing on his ranch fifty
i i miles south of Valentine stated
s
that if the county was divided as
proposed he would sell out and
move away , and if such was the
case his land could be bought for
50 cents per acre.
The county Ticket was electee
as follows :

I do solemnly swear that the

Several thousand dollars are ex
pended yearly by Cherry county
in the support of paupers. Much
of this expense could be done
away with if the county had a
properly equipped poor farm.
The county ownes a quarter sec
tion of land in Kewanee precinct
and the old jail property in Val
entine. The land in Kewanee is
said to be too sandy for use as a
farm , but it could be sold as well
as the property here in town and
the proceeds used as a. part pay-
inenfcon land thatco.uld be farmed.
It .would not be very long until a
poor farm could bemade , self-sup
porting and at the same time give
homes to the worthy poor. I

Dan Barnes of Lake was in

elated over the election but does
not claim all the credit for the big
lemon handed to Cody and Mer
riman in Tuesday's election.
Three petitions are being cir
culated through Cherry county ,
calling on the governor to investi
gate the murder of C. P. Sellers.
Following is the petition in full :
' "To the Hon. Governor of the
state of Nebraska , Chester H.
Aldrich. We , the citizens of
Cherry county , state of Nebraska ,
do hereby petition you to cause an
investigation of the murder of
Charles P. Sellers , that we claim
we had an unjust hearing and our
officials failed to bring out or tried
to bring out any evidence which
lead up to the murder and we be
lieve that there are other parties
implicated which should be
brought to justice. " As we go to
press one of the petitions had fifty-
three signers.

Machine Stuffs Sausage and
Presses Fruit.
A machine lUat will bo vrelcoraed on
tlic Trell appointed farm is the combi
nation srmcsgc stufTer ana fruit presser -
er invented by an Illinois num. A
metal cask has rise attachments by
which it can be clamped to the side of
a bench. A perforated cylinder fits
inside the cask , and a press operates
inside the cylinder. To make sausage
a long spout is fastened to the bottom
tom 65 the cask , and over this spout
the sausage casing is dra\vn tightly
so that no air can enter the skin and
the meat can be kept fresh , much long
er for that reason. The meat is placed
in the cylinder and the press turned ,
forcing it out through the perforations
in globules and in that form through
the spout into thecasing. . To press
fruits and jellies ( he spout is not re
quired unless it is desired to run off
the juice. The material is simply
placed under the press and squeezed to
the proper consistency.
Codfish EaHs.
Make a pint bowl of codfish' picked
into flakes and not froshcnp : ! and put
two pints of small peeled potatoes into
a saucepan. Add fish and turn boiling
water over It. Let boil until pota
toes are well done , turn ot ! nil the wa

of butter size of egg , n little cayenne
pepper and two well beaten eggs. Beat
the mixture vigorously until very light
and drop it by spoonfuls into boiling
fat and fry to a rich golden brown.
Drain on' brown paper in oven where
they will remain hot till time to serve.
Round Steak Rolls.
Get a round steak uol. QVJf pije-half
inch thick and cut it into portion :

each piece on one side with salt nnd
popper , fold into it a small piece of
suet , skewering it into a roll with
toothpicks. Koll in flour , brown on

A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredients That Really Promofo Hair
Growth when P/operly Combined
Eesorcin is one of the most ef-
rective germ destroyers ever dis
covered by science , and in connec
tion with B3ta Napthol , which is
both gernaicid.il and antiseptic , a
combination is formed which destroys
treys the germs which rob the hair
of its natural nourishment , and
also creates a clean , healthy con
dition of the scalp , which prevent
the development of new germs.
Pilocarpin , although not a color
ing matter or dye , is alwell-known
ingredient for restoring the hair
to its natural color , when the. loss
of hair has been caused by a dis-
ea.se of the seal p.
These ingreJieits in proper
combination , with alcohol added
as a stimulant and for its well-de
fined nourishing propsrties , per
fect perhaps the most effective
remedy that is known for scalp
and hair troubles.
We have , a remedy which is
chiefly comp'osed of these ingre
dients , in combination with other
extremely invaluable medicinal ,
agents. We guarantee" it to posi
tively cure dandrutt' and to grow
hair , even though the ssalp in
spots is bare of hair. If there is
my vitality left in the roots , it
will positively cure baldness , or
sve will refund your money. If
the scalp has a glazed , shiny ap
pearance , it's an indication that
aaldness is parmxnent , bab in ofch-
jr instances wp believe baldness is
jurable.
We want every one troubled
with scalp diseaso. or loss of hair
; otry Rexall " 93" Hair Tonic.
[ f it does not cure dandruff and
'row hair to the satisfaction of the
iser , we will without question or
luibble return every cent paid user
: or it. We p rint this guarantee
) n every bottle. It has effected a
positive cure in 93 pe ? cent of
jases where put to a practical tesc.
Kexall " 93 * ' Hair Tonic is en-
; irely unlike , and we think , in
svery particular , better than any-
ihing else we know of for the pur
pose for which it is prescribed.
We urge you to try this prepara-
ion at our entire risk. Certainly
tfe know of no better guarantee to
