OPPORTUNITY.

There was q man who dreamed one DAY
OF great things that he meant to do;
But Idly in the sunshine lay
The while he dreamed: and never knew
What proud. bright shape WAS drawing nign
Or listened to its thrilling cry:
Arise. arise, and follow me,
And make your dream reality!-
Until IL passed away again.
And. passing srno.e the dreamer Drain
With sudden sense OF loss and pain
A.who calls me?' anxiously he cried:
"Oh speak, Oh. come once more to me.
But far away voice replied.
MY name is Opportunity.
Who welcomes me with swift embrace
Shall meet NE always face to face:
But the stern truth Is known OF yore,
Neglected once, come no more.
And still the dreamer in the sun
1magines great deeds 10 be done.
Yet sees, alas, the fruit of none

For Good Purposes.

Mrs. M. A. Dauphin, OF Philadelphia, Is
well known to the ladies' Of that city from
the great good she has done by means of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a recent in
teresting case. "a young married lady
came to me suffering with severe case Of
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months
was fully restored. In proof of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evade the responsibilities Of maternity.
After ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed In a most alarm
ing state and suffered terribly. lgave her
a tablespoonful Of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,
she awoke much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking the Con-
pound, and in due season she became the
mother of a fine healthy boy. But for the
timely use Of the medicine she believes her
life would have been lost"

The Richmond Trial.

st. Joe. Mo. Aug. 12-The attendance at
the Richmond trial to-day was the largest
since the opening day Several witnesses
for the defense were introduced who testi-
fed to DIR. Richmond's insanity. The
most important witness, and
the one on whom the defense
mainly relies to establish the insan-
ity of DIR. Richmond, was DR.. A. o. Bains
who swOre that he had known Richmond
for ten years aud for FIVE years had been
the family physician. He had treated the
prisoner for chronic mania. In
their opinion Richmond was
undoubtedly of an unsOund mind, and
has been for long time prior to the hon.
icide. On cross examination witness was
considerably mixed and it is generally con-
sidered that his direct testimony was bro
ken down. His cross-examination will be
continued tomorrow.

A Perfect Baking Powder.

The great success of the Royal Baking
Powder is due TO the extreme care exer-
cised by its manufacturers to make it en-
tirely pure, uniform in quality and of the
highest leavening power. All the scienti-
ic knowledge care and skill attained by a
twenty years practical experience are con-
tributed toward this end, and no pharma
ceutical preparation can be dispensed with
greater accuracy, precision and exact
ness. Every article used is absolutely
pure. A number of chemists are employed
to test the strength of each ingredient, so
that its exact pOwe- and effect in combina-
ton with its eo-ingredIents is definitely
known. Nothing is trusted to chance,
and no person is employed in the prepare
I on of the materials Used or
the manufacture of the powder
who is not an expert in his particular
branch of the business. AS a consequence,
the Royal Baking Powder is of the highest
grade of excellence, always pure, whole
some and uniform in quality. Each box
is exactly like every other, and viii retain
its powers and produce the same and the
highest leayening effect in any climate, at
any time. The government chemists, after
having analysed all the principal brands
in the market, in their reports placed the
Royal Baking Powder at the head of the
list for strength, purity and wholesome
ness, and thousands of tests all over the
country have further demonstrated the
fact that it. qualities are, in every respect
unriyaled

ing TO an early hour this morning, eleven
persons were killed and thirty seriously
wounded. The majority of the injured
persons have shot wounds. The riOting

City of Mexico, Aug. 12.-The discus

press and among the lawyers whom il in
terests because of the important questions
raised, but there is no heat in the discus
sion. The better class of people hope that
the two governments will settle the matter
either by mutually friendly adjustment or
through equally friendly arbitration An
interesting question is propounded by
learned lawyer here who asks if Cutting
be guilty of libel on both sides of the river
why cannot the appellate court of the state
OF Chihuahus locate Judgment for the
crime on the Mexican and not on the
American side. This is relieving the

Badly Broke up.

Mr.. J. III. DoOley, proprietor of
the Brownsville hotel was in the city
yesterday on his way home from Kan
sas City. To a Bazooite Mr.. Dooley
stated that he would on the 18th of
this month close up his hotel at
Brownsville which, should he do so,
will leave that thriving little city and
apjunct of the famous Sweet Springs
without landlord or hotel, as Mr..
Dooley's house is the only one in the
place.
The cause of the closing of the
house Mr. Dooley says, is the refusal
of the people to allow him to run a
saloon in connection with it, as he
has heretofore been doing. Not long
since saloon licence was voted down
in Brownsville, and all of the saloons
were closed including that of Mr..
Dooley run in connection with his no.
tel.
Mr.. Dooley stated that he was ne
gotiating to secure the Jay Gould
house in this city, and that if he sue
ceeded in getting it he would throw it
open to the public about Sept. 1st.
