The remaining seventy-five or more of these bills will be CONTINUED IN NEXT ISSUE, Hated October 9, 1902. In our issue of Hept. 18th we said: "We have been informed by one of the assessors that at the triennial as sessment, all the assessors of the county met at Laporte, and at the request of the commissioners, assem bled in the Grand Jury room to tix a valuation on the unseated Jands. They agreed unanimously to assess the stripped lands at two dollars per acre and the timbered lands at twen ty dollars per acre, and reported this agreement b> the Commissioners who seemed well satisfied with it. Afterwards the Commissioners re duced the valuation on the timbered lands to twelve dollars per acre.." Two weeks have passed and this statement lias not been contradicted. It is true. Every well informed man knows that the assessors were right and the Commissioners were wrong. Twenty dollars per acre was a low valuation for timber lands. Why is it that rich corporations are thus favored to the injury of small farmers? When the tax payers have the power in their hands, at the next election, they will do well not to elect tools of the Union Tanning Co. to any office. Which is strong est, the Tanning Co. or the people? "I believe it proper for every one elected to a place of trust to exercise his own ideas of duty after having counciled with all parties interest ed."—Roger's Convention Speeth: By this are we to understand that on the Franchise bill (which Scouten says was the most villianous legisla tion ever passed in this country) Mr. Rogers deemed it his duty to consult those interested before canting bis vote? What party in interest did he consult after voting for the amend ment to kill the bill and what were the arguments used to make him vote against all other amendments and for the bill on final passage? We ask the voters of Sullivan county whether they propose to elect a limn whoae record on a corporation bill is, that first he was opposed to it and then leaving the Legislative Hall for a few minutes changed his mind and give his vote along with Corporate interests. If he did this once would he not do it ngnin? Can be be trusted? Let honest Demo crats and Republicans answer this by voting for Albert L. Dyer. Notice to the Public.

If ever the so-called Union Party had anv standing before the DooDle of A Sad Disappointment. Ineffective liver medicine is a disap pointment, but you don't want to purge strain and break the glands ot the stoui. ach and bowels. DeWitt's Little Early Risers never disappoint.

"I was HO troubled with bleeding piles that I Inst much blood and strength,"says •T. C. Phillips. Paris, 111. "DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured me in a short time." Soothes and heals. That this political hybrid is dead is shown by the action of the principal men in its councils to organize an other party called the "Ballot Reform Party." Papers have been filed with this object in view. The same men who helped the Democracy in its at tempt to capture the Union Party con vention have signed their names to the papers of the "Ballot Reform Par tv." Take Care of tho Stomach.
