MASQUELKT'S DRUG STORE. berg, an ally of Postmaster Fred A. Busse, is a candidate for the leadership held by John A. Linn, and opposed to him is Albert J. Olson, former alder­ man and state representative, whose public record has been condemned by the Municipal and Legislative Voters' leagues. The chief interest in the fight Is the fact that it has dragged Postmaster Basse into the fray. Reports are cir­ culated also that certain members of the Deneen-West combination are fight- ing Basse thru Olson, to prevent the postmaster from retaining control of tbe solid North Side. The word has gone out that Cletten- berg must be defeated because he is Busse's friend, and in order to clip the postmaster's wings in county politics Mr. Basse has accepted the challenge, and, no matter how the fight results, it is likely to have a far-reaching effect on the local situation, as tending to widen the breach between the Basse combina­ tion and Governor Deneen's wing. Representative Olettenberg today mailed a circular to every Republican voter in the ward, asking: "Do you want to be honestly repre­ sented? Frank Chaiser, A. J. Olson and Sam Erickson represent themselves. Bernard F. Clettenberg will represent you. A vote for Clettenberg means a vote for decent administration of party affairs." Erickson is Clettenl>erg's colleague in the legislature, and Chaiser was cashier in Linn's office. Both are working for Olson under the direction of a Deneen lieutenant, who, with Sheriff Pease, would like to see Busse's influence in North Side politics curtailed. Chicago Daily News, Friday, April 27, 1906. Republican judiciary primaries are to be held tomorrow. In the 22nd ward, where the seat in the Republican .coun­ ty committee relinquished by John A. Linn is to be filled, looms the only con­ test of consequence. In tbe 13th ward, where rival Republican factions have fought with bloodshed and death re­ cently, a truce has been declared and no trouble is looked for. In the 22nd ward the contest for committeeman lies between Representative B. F. Clet­ tenberg and Samuel E. Erickson. Erickson is backed by A. J. Olson, formerly a representative and an alder­ man. Circulars have been distributed thruout the ward giving the endorse­ ment of Clettenberg by the Legislative Voters' league report for 1904, and the condemnation of Olson by the Munici­ pal Voters' league in 1900 and 1902. Postmaster Bnsse is behind Clettenberg, and with the election of his candidate will get control of the only ward in the north town which has not owed allegi­ ance to him. Chronicle, Sunday, April 29, 1906: Republican primary elections were held yesterday in the city and Cioero, but the only contest of importance was in the 22nd ward, where Bernard F. Clettenberg won a bitter fight against Samuel E. Erickson and ex-Alderman Albert J. Olson, capturing seventeen out of twenty-four delegates. The contest was over tbe connty com­ mitteeship to succeed John A. Linn, who within a week will begin serving an indeterminate sentence in the Joliet penitentiary. Aftho the struggle Was' nominally between Representative Clet­ tenberg on one side and Representative Erickson and ex-Alderman Olson on the other, the real battle was between Post­ master Fred A. Busse and his political rivals in the Linn ward. By his victory of yesterday Mr. Basse establishes his supremacy as a party leader in the twenty-first, twenty-sec­ ond, twenty-third and twenty-fonrth wards and will go into the convention tomorrow with seventy-seven delegates. Mr. Busse made a hard fight against great odds and his triumph donbtless will add much to his prestige as a leader in the Republican county organization. The Busse-Clettenberg combination . carried five out of seven primary dis-. | tricts in tbe twenty-second ward and the postmaster is now the undisputed boss of the town of North Chicago. Of 11,939 votes cast in the city and Cicero nearly 2,500 were cast by tbe twenty-second ward, or more votes than were polled in the ward primaries of May 6, 1904, when Deneen and Lowden were battling for tbe Republi­ can gubernatorial nomination. Erick­ son and Olson evidently tried to over­ throw Busse, Erickson running as a candidate for committeeman in the Swedish districts and Olson in the Irish districts. Erickson carried his own dis­ trict, the sixth, and his combination carried the fifth or Pohlmanr. district; the rest went to the Busse organization Very respectfully, EDWARD D. SHUHTLEFF.

On Mon­ day they shipped 28,000, on Tnesday 28,000, and today, Wednesday, will ship 30,000. They have a large number of contracts to fill and it can safely be aaid that business at the brick yard is booming. Quite a serious accident happened at the barn of A. L. Howe on Wednesday afternoon last. It seems that while un­ loading hay with a patent fork the boys had climbed upon the derrick, or stand­ ard in connection with the fork, in order that they might better see it work. Something giving away the standard fell, and one boy had his leg broken near the thigh, while the other one was badly braised and shaken up by the fall. In the excitement the team became frightened and rau away, Mr. Howe, his hired man and Mrs. Howe, all having a narrow escape from injury. While the children were severely hurt it is consideied fortunate that no one was killed. Both children are now do­ ing as well as. con Id be expected. Government Land Opening. Tripp County, 8.1».

WM, BONSLBTT. -v* the kidney poison- ed blood will at­ tack the vital organs,-causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell bv cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel­ ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and over­ comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasaut to take and is sold by all druggists iu fifty-cent aiid one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis­ covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil­ mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp- Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N.

Nothing about a metropolitan news­ paper shows more plainly a high de­ gree of organization than an accurate and comprehensive report of the world 's markets. As might be expected, the Chicago Record-Herald coders this field in the same satisfactory manner that is characteristic of tbe paper's entire news service. It tells its readers every day what consols are worth in London, what money and stocks are worth in New York, what wheat and the other grains are worth in Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis and the other markets and presents in addition accnrate informa­ tion on the events and conditions that determine these values. The Record Herald is the only morning paper in Chicago having its own special corre­ spondent to cover the New York stock market. George S. Beachel's letters re­ port the daily movements of the New York stock and money markets in a way that shows the writer's close association with the men who rule in those affairs in Wall street. Eqnal attention is de­ voted to the Chicago stock and financial markets and to the daily movements of prices on the Board of Trade. The "Speculative Gossip" and the notes that record Wall street and LaSalle street happenings contain many a line that shows a bit of the real "Inside" history of the various markets. The Record-Herald makes it a point to cover in full the financial reports of compan­ ies and corporations add devotes partic ular attention to banking interests in Chicago and tbe West.
