The following from the Woodstock Republican of July 17 shows the kind of campaign methods used by L. E. Mentch in his canvass for state senator: "Every­ body bad hoped that the various candi­ dates for the several offices to be filled the coming fall would be content to so­ licit votes on their own merits as men, bnt it has remained for Luna E. Mentch to begin a campaign of mudslinging and misrepresentation against his oppo­ nent, Albert J. Olson, for senator, the local mails having been flooded with his efforts in this line on Tuesday last. Mr. Olson is too well known and too highly esteemed in this vicinity for such rot to effect his supporters or the voters gen­ erally. Abuse heaped upon such a man only adds to his popularity, as Mr. Mentch will discover when tbe ballots are counted on the 8th of August. He will discover tjiat Mr. Olson has been here plenty long enongh to be nominat­ ed for the senate and to do the people good service there." Fourth Anniversary Dance.

" Dr. King's New Discovery is the remedy that does the healing; others promise but fail to preform, "-days Mrs. E. R. Pierson, of Aubnrn Centre, Pa. "It is caring me of throat and long trouble of long standing, that other treatments relieved only temporarily -New Discovery Is doing me so "inch <wvwl I that I feel confident its continued use for a reasonable length of time will restore me to perfect health." This renowned cough and cold remedy and throat and lung healer is sold at N. H. Petesch's drugstore. 50c. and fl.00. Trial bottle free. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. ttnu OUp»*<I from Tho PUtladwdvr of Jaly «8, 1883. Died--In this village, on Wednesday evening, Jaly 18, 1888, Sheldon Colyer, aged 57 years. Quite a quantity of wool was deliver­ ed in this village on Saturday last, par- chased, we believe, by P. D. Smith, Prices are low and consequently wool is not moving as fast as in former years. The steamer "Mary Oris wold," Capt. Hill, made her first Sunday ex cursion of the season on Sunday last, and aboat fifty from this village took advantage of the occasion to make a trip to the lakes. The board of directors have engaged the following teachers for the McHenry pnblio school for the coming year: J A. Sheldon, principal, Miss Etta Tor­ rance, teacher of intermediate depart­ ment, and Miss Belle Stoddard, primary department. The teacher for the Gage- town division has not yet been engaged. Tbe thief who stole the horse and buggy from H. E. Wightman about two weeks ago, was caught on Sunday last at Libertyville, by Constable Lake of that town, and on Monday morning was brought to this place, and, $fter being examined before Esqnire Perry, was taken to the Woodstock jail. He says he drove the horse and buggy to Chicago and from there to Joliet, where he left him in a livery stable and took the cars" for Milwaukee, and from there returned to Libertyville after his trank, which he had left there. Mr. Wight- man has received a dispatch from the party whom he sent to Joliet, informing him that he found the horse there all right and is now on the way home with him. LARGER PENSIONS FAIL TO COME Many Veteran*' Widows Disappointed at Failure to Receive 8a Soldiers' widows, whose pensions are being paid this month, are not receiving tbe increase of $4 a month they expected would be the case under the new law and there are many disappointed over the failure of vouchers to contain the increased sam. This omission is explained by the fact that the number of persons on the rolls is so great that it was impossible to make the changes necessary and send tbe increased amount at this time. It seems probable, in the opinion of an official, without instructions on the matter, that the next payment, which comes early in October, will contain au additional voucher for the amount miss­ ing this time, and also the increased pension for the three months. The new form of voncher was nsed this month for the first time. It is much simpler than those formerly nsed and requires signature at only two places on the part of the pensioner, in­ stead of several places as before. The new law provides that widows of soldiers in the civil war are to receive |12 a month pension, instead of $8 as formerly, the increase to take effect im­ mediately, the date being early in April, and to go into effect automatically, without farther application. It Can't Be Beat. The beet of all teachers is experience. C. M. Harden, of Silver City, North Carolina, says: "I find Electric Bitters does all that's claimed for it. . For Stom­ ach, Liver and Kidney troubles it can't be beat. I have tried it and find it a most excellent medicine." Mr. Harden is right; it's tbe best of all medicines also for weakness, lame back, and all run down conditions. Best too for chills and malaria. Sold under guarantee at N. H.

It used to be considered that only Urinary ami bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all . diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. / The kidneys filter and purify the blood-- that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail-to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis­ take by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinarj- effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent pnd one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle Home of ewamp-Eoot. by mail free, also a pamphlet"telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- hamton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad­ dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on everybottle. 6*» ttM Of Special Interest To Women.

On Monday appears "Martha's Management," devoted to household and culinary topics, while short light readidg for the whole family is always found on the editorial page. On Friday appears Dr. Withrow's comment on the Sunday school lesson, and thrn the week will be found crisp reviews of the new books. In the Sunday issue a complete section is devoted to women, containing Mme. Qui Vive's beanty page, "Hints for the Home Dressmaker" by Jeanuet te Hope, Marion Harland's page. Dame Curtsey's "Novelties in Entertainment," society news and many special articles of interest to women.
