A Great COnQuerOr.

Everybody hates egotism, yet history is
full of it. Sesostris, one of Egypts early
kings, was SO full of egotism, that the fame
of his deeds might long survive him, that
he erected columns in the countries through
which he passed, on which was Inscribed;
"Sesostris, kings of kings and lords of lords,
subdued this country by the power of bis
arms That monarch showed no doubt,
great deal of egotism by his actions; but
would it be egotistical to say that DR..
Bulls Cough Syrup has done more than
subdued country, because it has conquer
ed millions OF obstinate colds and coughs,
that held their victims in racks and tor
lures, worse than the Inquisitionl We
think not! Dr. Bulls Cough Syrup needs
no column to perpetuate its fame and
worth, its benefaction will be a household
tradition among those it has enancipated.

LOCAL BREVITIES5.

Tomorrow the second County Repub-
lican Convention will be held at the Court
House, to select delegates 10 the Congress
slonal and Senatorial Conventions. BY a
caucus agreement, the ant.Thomas boys
Will not take any part in the convention,
but will blde their time. Probably they
have come to the conclusion at last, that
the only thing they can do to hurt the man
they have so long sought to "down" in vain,
Is TO vote him down at the polls. But this
they haven't the courage to do. Their dis
like OF Capt, Thomas isn't strong enough
for that and In November they will take
the same old bitter dose, with horrible
grimace that will slowly die away in a
smile indicative of enforced resignation.
The nomination of Mr.. Burton at Cen
tralIa Wednesday, gives much satisfaction
to the majority of the Democrats here and
itgives dissatisfaction to none of them. Mr..
Burton ls very worthy young man, Per-
haps the only thing thai could be said
against him Is, that he is not acquainted
with the duties and details of the import
ant office to which he aspires and would
find much difficulty for while to attend
to them with any degree of efficiency. But
he Is an apt young man, earnest and per-
slstent In the pursuit Of a given purpose,
and It will not be long before he will DIS
charge the duties Of the office with as much
dispatch as the former able incumbent did.
In every other respect Mr.. Burton is a
model young man as far as We know, and
the party will support him heartily in every
county in this judicial district.
Last wednesday fine COW belonging
to the Sisters at St. Mays Infrmary was
missed. All search for her was unayailng
until yesterday, when Mr.. James Smith,
who is employed about the hospital grounds,
heard Of her in Mound City. He went
there and learned that the COW, together
with two others, had been brought there
by young man and sold to a butcher. AL
three COWS brought $50, which was dirt
cheap, for the animals were in moderately
good condition, The young man who solo
the cows said, in reply to the question
where the animals had come from, that ht
had kept them all winter near Villa Ridge
This young man had partner who cam
| up after the sale had been made and ex
| pressed great dissatisfaction at the pric
the animals brought, saying that if he ha
been there before, they would not have bee
sold SO cheaply. Both young men are fror
Cairo and are believed TO be under ares
at Mound City. They will be examine
to-day and if what Mr.. Smith tells US
true land we do not doubt that itis) bot
young fellows will come to grief. 1t
not known whom the other two cows belor
to, but there are doubtless some person
in the city who have lost cows and WI
may gain something by inquiring into tn
matter.-Later we learn that the partie
arrested are Henry Hayes, a young ma
who was short time ago clerking for Nj
Adolph Swobo1s here, and Ed. Keohler
weIl-known here. They were captured b,
the Mound City police short distance on
from the city and are in custody there.

Thousands fastened to their Graves!

Relying on testimonials written in vivid
glowing language or some miraculous
cures made by some largely pulled up doc
tor or patent medicine has fastened thous-

most insane faith that the same miracle
will be performed on them, and that these
testimonials make the cures, while the So
called medicine is all the time Fastening

publishing testimonials, as they do not
