SOCIALISTS CAUSING SCARE
(Continued from page 1.)
both 'Mr. Walden and .Mr. Rayburn
are claiming ylctory.
A I Jcli t Vote.
During the morning hours voting
was extremely slow, but when It was
noised about that socialists were
quietly and unostentatiously casting a
large and solid vote, the otherwise
lukewarm politician began to , look
about for himself. The very evident
result of the premature publlclty to
the activity on the part of the socialist,
was that the polling places began to
dhow more signs of life. Compared
with former elections at 3 o'clock tl.ls
afternoon, the vote Is light; However,
there la yet time to land a big vote be-
fore the time of closing the polls to
night. The mayoralty race Is quiet except
in that phase mentioned. If a custom
ary vote Is cast, it is hardly- possible
that A. M. Paul can overcome the so
cialist minority and score a victor.'.
Mr. Sheak Is credited with running
neck and neck with Williamson in -.e
Fourth ward, drawing even more pub
lic uttention than the fight between
Walden and Rayburn.
F. L. Meyers and A. V. Andrews oi
tho Third and Second wards, respect
ively, are conceded to be winners over
their socialistic opponents. Even at
a lato hour this afternoon the Inde
pendents are alarmed at the apparent
ly solid socialist vote that has been
cast.
But while the Fourth ward Is said
to be Just a little off color", the recent
ly-made law Is being closely observed.
Occasionally the rule may have been
broken in all parts of the city, but on
the whole the public and candidates
alike hnve refrained from open at
tempts at winning votes ou the day of
election.
A MICHIGAN MOXSTKOSITY.

A calf is on exhibition at Owen

calf Is ' Durham "cow owned by Ed
ward Owen, living threerquarters of a
mile east of Owendale. The mon
strosity Is the property of Dr. W E.
Kelller, at one time deputy state vet
erinary, und D. W. Beadle, who will
place It in the hands of a taxidermist
to have It properly mour'od.

S. S. S. is the best treatment for Catarrh because it ia a perfect blood

tion and entirely remove the catarrhal matter and impurities which produco
the trouble. As long as the mucous membranes and tissues are kept inflamed
and irritated ty this impure and infected condition of the blood Catarrh will
remain. I ta disagreeable and danperou3 symptoms, of ringing noises in the
ears, mucus dropping back into the throat, headaches, watery eyes, difficult
breathing, and even stomach disorders and weakened health, cannot be perma-
tipntly relieved until the blood is purified, l.'othiug equals S. S. S. for this
purpose. It pots cown to- tee very root oi lie trouolvi, ana removes every .
particle of the catarrhal matter from the blood and enriches this vital fluid so
that all the mucous surfaces are supplied with nutritive, healthful qualities, in
stead of being constantly irritated and inflamed by impurities in the circula
tion. Then the symptoms begin to pass away and when S. S.S. has entirely
puiified the blood. Catarrh is permanently cured and the general healt'
greatly built up. Cook on Catarrh and any medical advice desired sent In .
