If L. D. Brown, of Little Palls,
who is a candidate for re-election as representative of
this legislative district, can
point to anything meritorious
that he did during hisin-cum-
bancy he would confer a favor
upon a large number of voters
who a' e wondering upon what
grounds he is asking for re-election. He doesn't seem to be
asking any of the newspapers
to publish his record.—Crosby
Courier.
Mai y Driven From Home
Every year, in many parts of the
country, thousands are driven from
their homes by coughs and lung- diseases. Friends and business are left
behind for other climates, but this is
costly and not always sure. A better
wa}'—the way of multitudes—is to use
Dr. King's New Discovery and cure
yourself at home. Stay right there
with your friends, and take this safe
medicine. Throat and lung troubles
find quick relief and health returns.
Its help in coughs, colds, grip, croup,
whooping-cough and sore lungs make
it a positive blessing. 50j and $1.00.
Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by E.
L. Kaliher.

COST OF THE PRIMARIES
Transcript: It is estimated
that the cost to Morrison county
of the primaries soon to be held
will be at least $2,500. Last
year 3,532 votes were cast for
governor and in preparing the
primary ballots for the election
this year arrangments will be
made for an increased number
of voters.
With seven tickets in the field
the cost of ballots alone will be
large. A large quantity of other election supplies have been
received and other supplies are
on the way. The expense for
printing and blanks added to
the expense of delivering the
ballots and other blanks and the
cost of the judges will bring
the total expense of the election in the county up to about
$2,500.	
The trouble with most young-
men is that they do not understand the dignity of manual labor. They do not realize that
honors and fortune may be more
readily gained outside of the so-
called learned professions than
in them and that it is just as
honorable to swing a hammer
or to hold a plow as it is to
make a speech in court or to
imputate a limb. The lesson
ig men should be taught as
early as possible is that it is not
so much what a man does for a
living as how he does it, and
chat manual labor is as honorable as any other.—Ex.
FROM THE ONAMIA BREEZE
J. B. Cajacob came home
from his farm in Morrison county Saturday and remained with
his family until Sunday, when he
returned.
Mrs. Dell Arnold arrived from
Pierz Tuesday evening and
joined her husband here, wrho is
section foreman on the east end,
and will immediately go to housekeeping in the building vacated
by the Mikelson family.
Last Tuesday was Indian
ration pay day at Onamia, and
from the number of redskins
seen on our streets that day, it
reminded one of the far West
and the days of Sitting BullRain-
-in-the-face, and other noted
Indian chiefs.
John Mischke,of Pierz a wealthy farmer, land and implement
dealer, was here Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week. Mr.
Mischke was transactingbusiness
at this place and informed us
that it was his first trip to
Onamia. Mr. Mischke and his
father came to the town of Buck-
man, where he lives, in 1871,
(llyears ago,) and endured many
of the hardships of those pio
neerdays. He made this office
a pleasant call.
LIGHT BlrTUMNS.
(Omitted last week for lack of room.)
The hunters who started out
early Saturday morning expecting to return early with a bag
full of chickens, were sadly dis-
apointed. One party of three
and a good dog, all of many
years experience, hunted from
daylight till dark and came
home footsore and weary with
one solitary half grown chicken.
There were too many sports in
the field, and hunters continually fell into the tracks of others,
only to confuse the dog's, and
to find stray and frightened
birds. Our county is over-advertised as a hunter's paradise.
A last Saturday's daily of a
neighboring county seat had in
its local columns no less than a
dozen different items, relative
to chicken shooting in Pierz.
Unless the minds of our nim-
rods change, stringent measures
will be taken next year to prevent outsiders from hunting in
this neighborhood. Only residents of the surrounding towns
joining in the movement will
be allowed the sport of shooting
chickens in the restricted territory.
INELUX FROM STEARNS CO.

What We Never Forget
according to science, are the things
associated with our early home life,
such as Bucklen's Arnica Salve, that
mother or grandmother used to cure
our burn-;, boils, sores, skin eruptions,
cuts, sprains or bruises. Forty
years of cures prove its merit. Unrivaled for piles, corns or cold-sores.

The Men Who Succeed
as heads of large enterprises are men
of great energy. Success, today, demands health. To ail is to fail. It's
utter folly for a man to endure a weak,
run-down, half alive condition when
Electric Bitters will put him right on
his feet in short order. "Four bottles
did me more real good than any other
medicine I ever took," writes Chas.
B. Allen, Sylvania, Ga. "Afteryears
of suffering with rheumatism, liver
trouble, stomach disorders and deranged kidneys, I am again, thanks
to Electric Bitters, sound and well."
Try them. Only 50 cents at E. L.
Kaliher's Drug store.
