' 11K NORFOLK f Those Who Will Try For the Madison County Offices. CONVENTION WAS A LARGE ONE. Contests for Place Were Few and the Business of the Delegates Was Quickly Transacted After the Meet ing Was Called to Order. fFrom Thursday's Dully. ] The democratic county convention , lichl at Unttlo Crook Wednesday af ternoon was one of the largest con ventions of that party over held In ( he comity. The hall was tilled with delegates , from all sections of the county , and there were few lacking of those who had been chosen to attend. Of the Norfolk delegation of twenty-nine , hut four were absent , and that was about the ratio of at tendance from other portions of the county. The convention was late In startIng - Ing , because of the fact that the delegates - egatos seemed disinclined to quit M the pro-convention discussion regardIng - Ing the chances of the various can didates seeking place , hut there was no lack of interest when the gavel of the presiding oilier fell. S. II. Thatch , chairman of the cen tral committee , was chairman of the convention , and Dr. .1. II. Mackay secretary. When the point was reached for placing In nomination the candidates for the various county olllces the delegates were at keen attention and the ticket was quickly placed In the field dspitc the fact that there wore one or two contests. The first place on the ticket to be filled was that of clerk of the district court. W. I. Stlrk of Dattlo Crook , was named without much opposition. Chester A. Fuller of Norfolk was also a candidate for the place. For treasurer , T. K. Hanson of Til- den was placed in nomination without - * out opposition. County Clerk Emll Winter was re- nominated by acclamation. George W. Ix > sey of Rattle Crook , who has served as sheriff of the j county for a number of terms , was again nonminated for that office. It . | \ A , was the one office over which there J > ftLj was Anything of a contest. W. P. [ < S\ ) O'Brien of Madison sought the same honor and ho had some good support , but not sufficient to take the place. County .Judge Win. Bates was re- nominated by acclamation , as was also C. W. Crum for superintendent of public instruction. For assessor there was also some thing of a contest. T. D. Precce of Battle Creek wanted the honor and he got it , although Norfolk presented three names Albert Degner , J. H. Ilulff and I. G. Westervelt. The lat ter proved the strongest competitor of the throe but was not strong enough to take it from the Battle Creek crowd. Dr. F. G. Salter of Norfolk was nominated for coroner without op position. W. P. Batch of Madison was placed in nomination for the position of sur veyor. For commissioner of the Second district Fred D. Krautof Norfolk was placed in nomination.

Caldwell is at- trilmted to her special study of spec ialism. Dr. Caldwell , student , philan thropist and physician of wide repu tation , having given her entire time and practice to a line of specie , dis eases , which enables her from long experience In handling those troubles to certainly come forward as a master specialist. Her faculty for mastering disease , her ability to diagnose , and her plan of treatment is excelled by few other physicians. Dr. Caldwell , although a young woman In life , a plain woman , ami one who Is used to the nps and downs In life , puts her self on a level with her patients and iliit-s not pretend to practice the old plan of fashion , which Is to l < x > k wise and say nothing. She knows dlseaso , and the spot whore located , and most of all she knows from oxporlenco , from what she has done in the past , slu- can certainly do for ethers In the future. It is said by Dr. Caldwoll's frifiuls that she can diagnono a dis- < -asi > of any patient without asking them a single qiifstlon , that being the case , she is not likely to doctor them for a wrong ailment ; she will nut take an incurable case and load i Inpatient to believe that she can cure them when there is really no hope for them. Her business Is largo and she has plenty to do , even , at times , mure than she can do , without taking incurable diseases and deceiving her patients. Dr. Caldwell Is a graduate , from one of the host schools in Amer ica. She has practiced her profession In some of the principal hospitals of this country. Her specialty comprises that class of diseases which the or. dlnary Imnio doctor falls to euro , such as female diseases , heart diseases , diseases of children and the many special 'Msoases of hidden nature. Her practice Is mostly among the plain , hard working people who are unable to come to tier city ollico for treatment ; she Is reasonable in her charges and very lenient with tlioso who are not able to pay. She is char itable , and It is said has never known to refuse to treat a patient who is worthy and in need. A number of the Important cases that wo hereby take the liberty to publish , which might bo of interest to some who wish to know more of Dr. Caldwoll's great work Sophia 77ran , Albion , Nob. , cured of a bad skin disease.
