THE MEDICINE THAT CURES
Is
"VEGETINE."

Taking into consideration the character Of it's vouch
ers the history OF It's cures and the immense increas
ing demand, Yegono may be fairly entitled the lead
ing medicine Of the age.
For scrofua in the blood, vegetine Is infallible
remedy, and no person need sufer from tumors ul-
GERS, and all diseases arising from impure blood, II
Negetine is used according 10 directions There is
not case Of scrofula in existence that vegetine will
not cure provided, however the vital functions have
not lost their power Of action, all that may be said to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Negetine Is pleasant to the taste mild in its nhu-
ence and absolute in It's action disease, the fol-
lowing unquestionable evidence will show.

We were waiting under the trees at the

tragic scene that had been enacting above us
and the danger poor Lou Ind been in. She
had not been missed until we were nearly

that they must leave politics severely alone.
IL not merely unwi>e-it is repugnant to our

frank to say that We cannot be Indifferent

success of the Republican party too vital to
the country to regard with patience a course
which imperils it. 1t is mete afiectation
which does not look squarely at the practical
side of this question. Everybody knows
that a party without organization is like an
army without leaders Or discipline. Doubt

any reform which strikes at real evils in a
practical and rational way. We have no
doubt that in the present movement the
President means w@ll, and honestly aims to
advance the general welfare. Bat in this
practical world we must deal with things
as We find them, and there is too much OF
the IDEAL and romantic in this new plan. To
throw away our guns and attempt to fight
the enemy alone with pure reason il not the

New l0rh's Rat-Catcher,
-. Fns

Richard Toner, professional rat-calcher Of
considerable notoriety in New York city, ar.
! rived in St. Louis yesterday, and has taker
i contract to rid the Lindell House of rats
lie is accompanied BY one assistant and has
thoroughly trained ferret Mr.. Toner
says that rats begin to breed at the age of
three months, and once every month there
after produce litter of thirteen that the
number of the litter never varies, and is al
ways composed of twelve males and one fe-
male that il the number of females were as
great as males, rats would become plague
that all the terriers and rat-catchers in the
country could not keep down.
lie began operations at the Lindell last
night, in the presence of half dozen per-
sons. lie armed himself with dark Ian
tern, gunny bag and peculiarly con-
structed pair of tongs or nippers. The tongs
are about two and half feet long, and
have handles like shears. Mr. Tonner gave
the bag to his assistant and took the dark
lantern in his left hand and the tonss in his
right. Equipped an this manner, he crept
about the cellar among barrels and boxes.
and every now and then seized rat with
has tongs The assistant, who kept at his
heels, instantly opened the mouth of the
bag and the rat was dropped into it, the
process OF capture not occupying over ten
seconds. lie says that when he throws the
strong Light from the lantern upon rat it
does not run, but simply turns so as to pre-
vent the light from shining in its eyes. As
1t turns there is no difficulty in seizins it
with the tongs.
Mr.. Toner did not make use of his ferret
until about one O'Clock, when everything
was quiet in the house. lie first went all
over the premises, examing the rat-holes to
familiarize himself with the rats run
ways lie says the rats have certain holes
to run through when they are frightened,
and that an experienced rat-catcher can soon
learn how these holes lead. After acquiring
this knowledge he sent his ferret into rat
hole, and stationed himself at the other
end of the hole. For instance, he found rat
hole in the pantry and traced its course down
into the cellar. where it came out in some
corner lie started the ferret into the hole
up stairs and stationed himself below with
his tongs. The ferret pushed his way along
the turnings of the hole and drove the rats
ahead Of him. As the rats ran from the
hole in the cellar Toner picked them up
with his tongs and dropped them into his
bag.
Toner owned the largest rat-pit in New
York
