Frederick town Piaindedter: "Tues-
day morning there occurred at the old
Toler place two miles south of town an
accident, fortunately devoid of fatality,
which brought into striking promi-
nence mothers devotion for her child
and her exceeding courage in the face
of danger. About all hour before dim
ner-time Mrs. James Killlan heard the
jug-like sound produced by weighty
object falling into the cistern near the
house. Surmising its import she ran
to the cistern and in its depths she saw
her three-year-old daughter. Without
thought of the danger to herself, intent
only upon securing from death her lit
tie one, she caught hold of the rope
used in drawing water and jumped
into the cistern. The descent was
made in second, but the rope passing
so swiftly through her hands tore and
lacerated them cruelty, the flesh being
cut and burnt almost to the bone. The
water, fortunately, was low-not over
four feet and snatching her child
from it she held it up and above all
harm. The little one had been in the
water so short time that beyond the
fright il was unhurt. For an hour
Mrs. Killian remained in the cistern
at which time her husband came in to
the house from his farm work. His
wife called to him from the depth of the
cistern and he responded. He quickly
got ropes and with MINDLESS rugged
up he ho;sted his wife and child to the
open air again. The cistern was just
sixteen feet deep and the top had been
insecurely fastened. The conduct OF
Mrs. Killian vas very heroic and the
little daughter owes it's life to the
promptings OF maternal love-"

To the Polls!

Democrats of Iron county, don't
stay away from the polls; don't fail
to vote because you think your candi-
dates do not need your votes. AS a
matter of county pride, and of duty,
every Democratic vote in the county
should be polled. Especially, you
should see that every vote in the coun-
ty is polled for Clardy for Congress.
If every active Democrat in the
county will constitute himself COM
mittee Of one to work and to see to it
that no voter in his neighbnrheed
stays away from the polls, it will be
well.
Every working man, no matter what
his politics, ought to vote for Clardy.
Every vote cast for Ratchford is a
vote thrown away, as no one pretends
that he has any chance Of election.
Vote for Clardy, the friend of the
working man. He will be elected.
Help to roll up big majority.

left to to The individual counties only
those that need its provisions will use
them, and that only when deemed
necessary.
As good roads and good bridges are
essential to prosperity, it is hoped that
in the coming election careful atten-
ton will be given by the voters to this
proposed amendment. Each voter in
terested in the matter should erase the
word NO from his ticket; and men in
counties not needing the benefits of the
amendment it would be kind and
neighborly to do the same for the ad-
vantage of counties that do need them.
In those counties where the addi
tioral levy is of pressing necessity,
canvassers about the polls, regardless
of party preferences, should make it
a speciality to call attention of voters
to this importont matter, and to see
that the word NO is erased from the
tickets before being voted. AS there
is no opposition to the amendment
this kind of careful attention on the
part Of Its friends will insure its adop-
ton by very decided vote.
Speakers: addressing audiences on
either side in the political canvass
would do valuable public service by
constantly calling attention to this
matter and urging voters to erase the
wold NO from their tickets.

Ste. Genevieve Herald: "On Thurs
day night, the Sheriff of Dent county
and Capt. Wilson, a q. S. Marshal,
came in with two tramps, one OF
whom was caught in Dent county, and
the other in Reynolds county, both
answering the descriptions given of
the supposed murderers of Annie
Vath. Capt. Wilson tells us that he
is satisfied that the shorter one of the
two fellows is the one Sheriff Jokerst
was after so long without effecting his
arrest. Several persons in New Off
enburg, who had seen the supposed
murderers, were notified by the Sher-
iff to come in Friday to identify the
fellows. Joe Bieser, one of the wit
nesses, says that one of them is the
fellow seen by him that day. The
prisoners will be kept in Jail until
Monday, when they will have pre-
liminary hearing"

Now how many will be there? Many
have favored the idea but the Enter
prise Messtnger and thx Telegram are
the only ones that have said, we'll
be there or send some one." What say
each of the fifty publishers? Do you
not think it would be of interest to
come?
When fifty publishers representing
twenty-five counties, demand better
rates we will get them. And then this
will become contagious if we make a
success and before long all south Mis-
souri, and northern Arkansas will adopt
our plan. But the prime object of this
move is to benefit each and every one
of US financially, and there is no doub
but that we can get three times as
much for foreign "ads" as we now do.

To the Voters, Without Regard tt
Their Politics.

The people of many of the counties
in Missouri are deeply interested in the
adoption of the following proposed
amendment to the State constitution
and the remaining counties cannot be
injured by the amendment, seeing that
the county courts will have the matter
wholly in their control:
SECTION /. In addition to the taxes
to be levied for county and city pur.
poses, under and by virtue of section
(1D eleven of article QO ten of the
constitution Of this State, the county
courts of several counties of this State
are authorized to levy, for road and
bridge purposes, an additional tax, not
to exceed (15) fifteen cents on each one
hundred dollars of valuation, and the
city of st. Louis Is authorized to levy
for street purposes an additional tax,
not to exceed t15) fifteen cents on each
one hundred dollars of valuation. The
rate herein allowed is to be levied and
collected the same as other taxes for
county and city purposes, and subject
to all existing constitutional restric-
tions as to valuation OF property.
The counties that are traversed by
many streams cannot make and keep
in proper repair the roads and bridges
necessary for public accommodation,
with the levy now authorized by the
constitution. To such counties the
proposed amendment ;s almost a ne
cessity. 1t is only fair and just to allow
the people in those counties to levy an
additional tax, when they want it, to
construct and repair bridges and roads
for their own convenience and benefit.
The amendment does not require the
levying of an additional tax, nor OF any
part of it; but merely permits the coun-
ty courts to make an additional levy,
when needed, not exceeding fifteen
cents on the one hundred dollars valu-
alton. Doubtless in many counties M
part of the additional levy authorized
will be needed, and therefore will not |
be made. In other counties portion |
Of it may be needed one year and none
of it another year. Probably none of
The counties will need the whole of it
year after year. But as the matter is !

The African Race.

We recently met with well-known
coiored porter of a Pullman car, who
runs from Atlanta to New York. His
name is Augustus L. Grant, and he
lives at No. 25O Hayne Street, Atlanta,
Ga. He said, "I would like to publish
for the benefit of consumptives and for
the com fort of their friends, how /
have been rescued from consump-
tive's grave. know that many peo-
pie think the colored people do not
have consumption, but 1 know from
experience that it is great mistake.
Seven years ago became subject of
this forlorn disease, and was so pro-
nounced by my physicians. My lungs
became badly affected, my cough was
awful, at times almost shaking me to
pieces. My general health broke down
and so declined that I became helpless

more; my cough became exceedingly
exhaustive, discharging great quanti-
ties of pus and consumptive matter.
l had In the meanwhile the best treat
ment; some of the best physicians pre-
scribed for me, and became interested
in my case. But after two or three
years treatment, finding that contin-
ued to grow worse, they one by one
abandoned the case until at last they
were all agreed that it was only a
question of time with me, and the
time was thought to be very short. In
this condition, with one foot as it were
in the grave, and making my prepara-
tions to go through the dark waters
of death, one of my physicians men,
toned to me remedy which might
be tried as last resort. His reason
ing was that consumption being moth
ing more than ulcers on the lungs, why
is it that remedy which will cure an
ulcer on the body will not cure ulcers
on the lungs? At his suggestion pro-

back to me, my digestion was good, my
strength was rapidly regained, lungs
healed over nicely, my cough left ME
and I went to work with
a new lease on life. For the last four
or five months have not lost days
wages nor felt symptom of that ter
rible disease that had brought me so
near the brink of the grave. My phys
ician three months ago pronounced me

Disastrous Fire i'm Chicago.
BELFoRD, CLARKE & co. AND OTHER FIRM


BELFORD, CLARKE & co. AND OTHER FIRMS
BURNED oUT-THE LOSS VERY HEAVY.
CHICAGO, May 26.-A disastrous fire occurred
in a large brick and stone structure corner of
Congress street and Wabash avenue early this
morning. The loss will approximate 81 ,OOO, 900.
Among the principal losers are the publishers,
Bel.ord, Clarke & Co., and the large book bind
cry firm of DonOhue & Henneberry. The struc-
ture was six stories in height In short time
after the blaze was first discovered the building
was on fire from top to bottom. 1t was filled
with material OF the most infiammable de-
scriptiOn. The occupants were Belford, Clarke
& Co., publishers; Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co.,
in the same business; Donohue & HennebeTry,
bookbinders; X. II. Peale g. Co., photographers,
and the Central LithOgraphing company. Mr..
Belford, of BelfOrd, Clarke d. Co., places his loss
at $500, 600, many valuable plates being de-
stroyed. Next door a hve-story building owned
py .. A. Slaughter and occupied by the furni-
ture firm of X. Deimel & Co. was damaged
$1,000. The most exciting part OF the fire was
the panic which occurred among the guests of
the Hotel Brunswick, directly opposite the
burned block. The heat was so intense that
every pane OF glass In the Wabash avenue front
of the hotel was broken and the sashes and
window fralEes scOrched. The guests became
alarmed, and, not stopping to dress themselves,
fed from the hotel. Capt. Joe Kenyon, Of Truck
No. 81, was seriously injured. In jumping from
the truck on arriving at the IRE, he fell, and
the wheels of the truck passed over him. Both
OF his legs were broken, and one Of them was
SO mangled that it will have to be amputated.
