YORK, Neb., Aug. 10. (Special.) After
makln a' careful canvass the republican
county central committee Is only nblo to
find one probable convert to Ilryan'a
cause. This party is a farm loan agent
who four years ago voted for McKlnley
und prosperity and says that ho don't
want any more McKlnlcylstn and prosper
ity In his business. Ho claims that since
1890 the farm loan business each year
under McKlnley's ndmlnlstrntlon kept got
ting less and that at present, owing to
greater prosperity, ho can't make a cheap,
decent living.
This week he drovo nil clay, calling on
eight farmers In different parts of the
country, who have mortgages mado five
years ago, coming duo this fall and win
ter, amounting to $12, (SO. Kvery farmer
ho called on had tho money In tho bank
to pay off his mortgage or had the good
old wheat In tho bin nnd stack to pay It
off. Tha last York county farmer called
on had a loan of $11,700 coming due the
first of next November. This farmer told
him that he had this $1,700 deposited In
tho local bank for tho past two years and
would have paid It off two years ago If
tho loan company would have accepted thu
money. Prior to 18!il, In democratic times,
this agent never drovo over the country
looking up farmers to borrow money. Thoy
came In numbers to his otllcc begging
him to mnko them n loan for ns largo
an nmount ns n loan company would loan
on their farms. Ho thinks If he can't get
u ehango of administration thero will
bo no moro farm loan agents. Tho York
county mortgage record for tho month of

paid off during the month exceeds tho
amount filed by $46,813.

DEMANDS
FROM WOMAN
a smiling face. It
and amiability or it turns its back upon her.
The result is a mask. Nine-tenths of our women
rise in the morning, peevish, miserable, unhappy. But
the mask must go on to meet the eyes of the world,
However much a woman may control her expression
she cannot hide the dullness of her eyes, the sallow hue
of her skin, or the haggard lines which suffering only
draws upon her face. These telltale signs of poor health
may be obliterated only by eradicating the cause.
The root of the majority of woman's sickness may
be traced to congestions, irritations, inflammations, etc.,
of the mucous lining of the organs of womanhood.
This is why Pe-ru-na so quickly cures troubles of this
sort. It is essentially a tonic for the delicate membrane
which lines the entire body, revitalizing it and eradicat
ing weakness and disease.
Women arc especially subject to the suffering caused
by irritation of this lining and will find in Pe-ru-na a
valuable and sure means of renewing their health and
strength. )
