MISSOURI has a mystery, the worst fea-
ture whereof is the disappearance of an
insurance company law passed. by the
Legislature at its recent session.. The
Journals OF both Houses show the passage
OF the bill, but it is insisted that the
chlei clerk Of the House, whose duty it
was to transmit the bill to the governor,
never dld So. The clerk was sent for to
explain, but instead OF explaining7 he

theory OF those interested is that the

MORE HORSE TRICKERY.

j. w. Mcguire, an old blind man,
who resides at Mexico, Mo-, and who
is well known to many of our older
citizens, complained to the police yes
terday that he had been victimized by
the horse dealers at the corner OF
Fifth and Carr streets. Desiring to
purchase a team he went there, and
invested a snug sum in a team at
Charles Sieferd's stable, the guarantee
being that the animals were sound
and would work well. He took them
to his home, and found that one of
them was windbroken, and the other
would not pull. He came back and
got Officer Bowling to 90 with him
to the stables, declaring that his one
wish was that the Lord would open
his poor eyes fol- just one minute that
he might see the man who was mean
enough to cheat an old blind man.
He gave notice that unless his money
was refunded he would prosecute the
case to the end if it took a year. He
got little satisfaction, and will prob
ably swear out a warrant to-day. Ma
guire lost his sight in the late war.

LINIMENTS,
Letter from a Postmaster.1

"ANTIoCH, ILL.,, Dec. l, 1874.
''M~ssrs. J. &. RosE & Co.:
MY wife has, Tor a 10 lg time, been a
terrible sufferer from Rheumatism. She
has led many physicians and many reme-
dies. The only thing which has given her
relief Is C"ntaur Liniment. / am reioiced
to say this has cured her. I am doing
what | can to extend its sale. \
w. Fl. RING.
This is a sample of many thousand testi-
m"niats received, of wonderful cures
effected by the Centaur Liniment. The
ingredients of this article are published
around each bottle. 1t contains Witch
Hazel, Mectha, A~rnica, Rock Oil, Car.
bolic, and ingredients hitherto little
known 1t Is an ~indisputable fact that the
Csntaur Liniment is performing more
cures of Swellings, Stiff Joints, Eruptions.
Rheumatism, Neuralgia. Sciatisa. Caked
Breasts, Lock-jaw, Sc, than all other Lin
iments, Embroca.ions, Extracts, Salves,
Ointments, and Plasters now in use.
For Toothache, Earache Weak Back,
tch and Cutaneous Eruptions it is ad-
mirable. 1t cures burns and scalds with
out a scar. Extracts poison from bites
and stings, and heals frost bites and chill
blalrs, in a short time. No family can
afford to be without the Centaur Lini-
ment, white wrapper.
The Centaur Imminent, yellow wrapper,
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and
flesh of the animal creation. Its effects
upon severe cases or SPAWN, Swe eny,
Wind Gall, Big Head and Poll Evil, are
little less than mary Hons.
Messrs. j. Mcclure u Co., Druggists
corner Elm and Front streets, Cincinnati
O., say:
'1n our n~eighborhood a number of
Transfers are using the Centaur Liniment.
They pronounce it superior to anything
they have ever used. We sell as high as
four to five dozen bottles per month to
these teamsters."
We nave thousands of similar testimo-
mails.
For Wounds, Calls, Scratches, Ring
bone, sc, and for Screw Worm in Sheep
it has no rival. Farmers, Livery-men,
and Stock-raisers, have in this Liniment a
remedy which is worth q hundred times
its cost.

ceived by them from the parish supervisors as to
the electoral vote, and that in that statement the
Republican vote of Vernon is accurately put down
at two votes Republican and G47 Democratic. These
notorious facts, they say, make the idea that Gov.
Wells would dictate forgery of the kind charged
upon him improbable in tho highest degree. espe-
cially as he must have known that the records
themselves, over which he had control,
would contradict him. The Republicans also
assert that n is an acknowledged fact
that the Returning Board did exclude three
polls, casting 179 votes, the ground of lntimda
ton, and that afidavits taken before Mr.. Jewctt,
United States Commissioner in New-Orleans Nov.
IA, 1876 were the basis for this action. They con-
clude, Therefore, that the story of Lttefed, that
after Dec. 15 1876, Wells directed him to pick out
and exclude three polls, for which he would have
testimony prepared is necessarily untrue. The fact
is, those polls excluded before the official pro-
mitigation of the vote, Dec. 3. AS their exclusion
appears in the official returns canvassed by the
board, Littlefeld testified that these votes were
transpOsed in order to elect judge, district
attorney, and State Senator. The Republicans say
that this is improbable because kelso, the Senator
not returned elected by the board, but his
Democratic competitor was; that the throwing ont
of rs votes in three precincts elected the other two
men, that the adding of those votes to the Repub
lcan columns wholly unnecessary, and it is not
probable that useless forgery would be committed
by anybody's order.
