A BAD Case of Flux Cured.

My little boy about eight months
old, was taken with f1ux. After
several days, we commenced giving
Chamberlnin's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy according to
directions. We were very uneasy
about the child, and sent for a
physician. / told him what we
had been doing, and showed him
medicine. He examined it, and
told us the best thing we could do,
was to 60 ahead and give the
remedy. We used about half of a
small bottle, and cured the child,
who was so low that he had no use of
himself. VIZ thought so much of
your remedy that we would let no
one else have it. told my wife a
few days ago that / must write,
and tell you what your medicine
had done. G. w. Lugar, Zion's

MAPLE GROVE, Mo, June 81
Mrs. Carrie Ellis visited hel
parents last week.
Raymond Fox, of Rush Hill:
was visiting in the neighborhood
Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. Hazenyager returned Satur.
day from a few days visit to friends
in st. Charles.
Henry Kombrink has put a new
roof on his barn; A. III. Canterbury
has built a commodious granary
on his farm occupied by Mr.
Mundy; VIM. Kombrink has about
completed a nice dwelling, anG
Messrs. Fox and Baker, of Rush
Hill, have just completed for C.
w. Lewis, one ufthe best barns in
the county. The barn is 40 by 81
feet and % high in the center and
well planned for convenience anc
economy of room. The frame
is of the best oak lumber and the
whole plan indicates taste and
good judgment. We are glad tc
vote this evidence of Mr.. Lewis:
prosperity.
The school at Maple Grove closed
Saturday. A game of base ball
was to have been played on the
grounds in the afternoon, but the
rain interfered. A little exhibi.
ton was given at night, consisting
of songs, Rotations and dialogues.
The house was crowded and many
remained on the outside. The
evening was passed pleasantly and
at the close of the exercises the
teacher, j. N. Cross, was presented

Wait for the Best-CleveIand and
Thurman,

Hubbard Bros, the well-knOwn
publishers of Philadelphia, Chicago
and Kansas City, announce the
preparation and publication be-
tween July 1st and 10Th, of a Bio
graphy of Cleveland and Thurman,
also Mrs. Cleveland, the popular
bride of the White House, together
with a full setting-forth of the
great Tariff Issue and a great va
riety of valuable political matter,
the whole to be written and edited
by w. U. Hensel, of Lancaster.
1t would be difficult to find a
man better fitted to write the lives
of the Democratic candidates for
President and Vice-President than
w. U. Hensel, lawyer, editor and
politician. For nearly Is years he
was one of the editors of the Lam
caster InteIligencer for five years
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee of Pennsylvania; a dele
gate to nearly all the Democratic
conventions since 1877; chairman
of the State convention of 1888;
delegate to St. Louis, author of
many sketches of public men and
notably the campaign b%iographer
of Mr.. Hendricks in 1884. Sincere
ly devoted to the principles of the
party to which he has been attach
ed, and which he has served from
boyhood, active in all honest efforts
to promote those principles among
his countrymen, and having come
into close personal contact with
most of the men who have been
recognized by the present and the
last generations as the opponents of
the best ideas of the party, he is
particularly fitted for the task in
hand. He has the additional ad-
vantage of having been one of the
warmest friends and adherents of
Mr.. Cleveland, not only before his
ascension to the Presidency, but
since and during that time. He
has also long been an admirer and
personal friend of Mr.. Thurman,
so that he has all the qualifications
necessary to enable him to write,
fair, truthful and entertaining
sketches of the distinguished men,
who have been selected as the
standard bearers of the Democratic
party during the Presidential can,
vass of 1885.
This will undoubtedly be the
most authentic and excellent work
issued.
1t is published by subscription,
and we understand agents r al
ready taking orders with unusual
rapidity.

AUCTION SALE
OF American Horses at the Botkin
Stables, Mexico, MO-, June
so, 1888.

Raised by and the property of
the "Saa Saba Spring Land and
Live Stock Association"
Terms of sale, six months credit
on approved bankable note bear
ing 10 per cent. interest.
Thirty head of yearling horses.
Thirty head of yearling fillies.
Twenty head ofbrood mares.
The yearlings are a very super
ior lot and promise to make horses
from Is to 16 hands high. The
mares are fine brood mares from 3
to 8 years old, mostly 4 to 6 years.
This is an experimental shipment
by a large Western horse rancho
and will be repeated if the sale
meets with reasonable success.
The stock is said to be purely
American horses and sired by good
blooded animals. 1t is believed
this movement will develop a new
feature III the horse business, and
that farmers will have the oppcr-
tunity to purchase fine young stock,
susceptible of profitable develop
ment, at o. much less cost than they
can be produced for in Missouri.
The stock will be sold In lots to
suit purchasers. All who feel an
interest in making Mexico an &C
tive horse market are expected to
attend this sale and use every in
fiuence to make it a success, which
will naturally encourage other
shipments. C. +. CLARK.

WE'LL ON ITS FEET.
The salamander Enterprise About
Ready for Ruainess-The
Works Leased.

a meeting of the directors of the
Fire Brick and Stove-lining eonpa-
NY was held last evening, The
works i'll West Mexico, until u few
weeks ago operated by the Salam,
ander Fire Brick and Stoverlining
company, were leased by the new
organization from John Lane, who
owns them.
A contract was entered by the
company and Mr.. Dixon. that gem
tleman having been selected as SUI
perintendent and manager of the
new concern. The charter of the
new company has arrived and with
Il little more preliminary business
the factory will beput in operation.
1t Is believed that fifty hands will
be employed after IA few weeks and
that that number will be increased
to one hundred.
Though this enterprise for the
manufacture of fire clay into u
marketable product has been es-
tablished here over Il year, never
until now has it been on a firm
financial footing, The works we're
closed down several weeks ago on
account ola lack of funds and had it
not been for the organization of the
new company they wouldremain so.
Representative business men have
the matter in hand now and they
mean to make it go if such a thing
be possible. And such Il thing is
possible. An inexhaustible bed of
the finest fire clay has been opened
at Il depth of seventy feet, fairly
under the works. No better ex-
lists IN the country; and with the
excellent railroad facilities possess
ed by Mexico, the prospects of the
Mexico Fire Brick and Stove-lining
company are exceedingly bright.
The officers of the new company
are as follows: Judge G. B. Mac
f~arlane, president; J.. F. Llewellyn,
secretary; John II. Lane, A. C.

Francis in Audrain County.

st. Louis Letter in Boonville Advertiser.
81 suppose your readers are
posted in regard to the Audrain
county fight for Governor. This
county is in the congressional dis
trict which the notorious Charlie
Peers resides. Charlie Peers prom
ised this countyt to Moreheuse, pro-
vided Morehouse would make him
Judge. The trade was made.
Peers had control of all the politi-
cal machinery in the country, and
Morehouse has been hoasting all
over the State of having one thou
sand majority in Audrain county
without having to make a fight"
Francis was fought most bitterly 10y
the anti-Vest orgsn in Mexico, and
the friends of Peers made a most
desperate and uncalled-for fight on
our Mayor. At the last moment
he decided to go into the county,
with no hope of carrying it, but
simply to show the people he did
not have horns, and was at least
entitled to fair treatment. He had
but a few days to meet the people.
Indeed, did not meet half of them,
but wherever he went he carried
them with him and at the fight
Saturday he came within three
hundred votes of carrying the
whole county. For twenty-four
hours it was In doubt. All are sat-
isfied had he had two or three days
more to have given the county he
would have had it over the anti
Vest crowd, Charlie Peers, the
Mexico Intelligencer, etc., by the
one thousand majority they prom
ised Morehouse. From now on he
will "carry the war into Africa"
and Morehouse will have to fight
for every delegate he gets"
