Work In Your Place.


Ell have known men," says Spur
geon, "who opened their mouths like
barn door in Boosting what they
would do if they were in somebody
else's place" There are many men of
that kind, who imagine that they
would be great men and could do won
derful things if they were placed in
other circumstances and had greater
opportunities. But true worth does
not consist in supposed possibilities or
imaginary performances in other con-
ditions, but in the faithful perform
ance of duty. to the utmost of our abil-
ity, in the condition and circumstances
in which we are placed. A man who
is not faithful, and who does not per-
form his work we'll in the humblest
place, shows that he is neither fitted
nor worthy to enter higher place.
--Methodist Recorder.

NEW YORK, June 13.-rammany held a

West all decked in ribbons, was feature
Hon. John Cochrane presided and there
was list of 200 vice presidents and secre-
taries. Resolutions were passed ratifying
the nominations made aud the platform
put forth by the convention.
Governor Hill was tue first speaker. In
the course of his remarks he took occasion
TO reply to the remarks of Senator Ingalls,
in recent speech in which 'Jhe nomina-
ton and election of Grover Cleve Gland have
made the pretensions of any American
citizen to the Presidency respectable" He
said he agreed with Mr.. Ingalls, not in the
sense meant by the President of the Senate
but in the sense that any man, however
obscure, might aspire to that lofty position
Intending an insult to the President and
the Democratic party he had unconsciously
paid tribute to both and to American in
situations.

LIGHTED UP.

Three Thousand Electric Lights Turned
On I'm the Auditorium.
CHICAGO June l3.-Last night the 5000
electric lights In the great hall to be used
by the Republican National convention
were turned on for the first time and about
the same moment flood of light was
thrown upon the darkness that had here
tofore enveloped even the smallest details
OF what would constitute the programme
in the convention. The lighting up of
the Auditorium afforded a magnificent
spectacle, the effect Of the lights
being to seemingly enlarge the
already vast interior and bewilder the
spectator Great wheels of fire shone on
the sidewalks, gorgeous tricolor shield
of light surmounted the stage and the roof
was ablaZe with huge stars made up of
clustered burners. The long streamers Of
red, white and blue bunting not yet fully
in place gave a picturesque aspect to the
whole, taking attention away from thou
sand of empty chairs on all sides. Scarcely
a hundred people were within the mann
moth amphitheater TO witness the illumi-
nation, and from the galleries they seemed
like so many pigmies moving about the

BraIny Men Meet in the Pertle Springs
Tabernacle.
WAR; ENsBURG, Mo-, June 13-The TWEEN
ty-second annual session CT The Missouri
Press Association met yesterday morning
in the tabern acle at PertIe Springs. The
attendance is about 125, including la1ies.
The small attendance is accounted for from
the fact that so many conventions and pri-
mary elections are beng held over the
State at present, and MANY members found
it impossible to come. The meeting was
called to order by o. H. Kinley, of the
Brunswick BrunSWieker Major Null,
on behalf of the mayor, who was
unable to be present, and, the peo-
pie of Warrens burg, welcomed the as
sociaton at length, which was well re-
ceived. The president, on behalf of the as
ISOLATION, replied in few well chosen
words, and then called the meeting to or
der. The annual address was delivered by
Prof. j. p. Blanton, president of the Kinks
vile Normal School. The subject was
"Press Relations TO Personal LIBERTY"
and was eloquently handled. A poem ap-
propriate to the occasion was read by Mss
Nellie Ingram, of Sedalia. A paper OF con-
siderable merit on the relations of the
State and National associations was read
by Mr.. Walter Williams, of the Boonville
ADVERTISER The historical sketch of the as
ISOLATION, by ]. W. Jacks, of Montgomery
City, closed the session for the day.

A Twenty Years Experience.

no Broadway, New York, March II, 1886
I have been using ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsrERs for 20 years, and found them one
of the best of family medicines. Briefly
summing up my experience, I say that
when placed on the small of the back ALL
COCKS PLAsTERs fill the body with nervous
energy, and thus cure fatigue, brain ex-
haustion, debility and kidney difficulties.
For women and children have found them
invaluable. They never irritate the skin
or cause the slightest pain, but cure sore
throat, croupy coughs, colds, pain in the
side, back or chest, indigestion or bowel
complaints. G. D. FREDRICKs.
