That 7. II. Jacksons Common-Sense Liniment is a success
beyond a peradventure is substantially certified to by some of
our best known horse men and stock dealers. F. s. Williams, a
raiser of fine stock and blooded horses, being approached on the
subject by a reporter, said:
Il have used 7. II. Jackson's Common Sense Liniment now
for over a year and l pronounce it the best l ever used. Dealing
use a great many different kinds of medicines, from the fact that
after using one kind and it not proving satisfactory [ would try
the Common-Sense Liniment last spring. Some dogs had chased
a fine colt of mine when it was but a few days old and it sprain-
ed one of its shoulders and sweeny set in. l was at a loss to
know what to do when Hulderman told me to get a bottle of I. H.
Jackson's Common-sense Liniment and use it as directed and he

unqualified endorsement if necessary to anything You wi to
say in favor of Jackson's Common-sense Liniment"

The following from G. w. Smith, one of the best horse men

Every road overseer in Ray

exquisite pleasure of "cussing''
the lawmakers of this great State
while he is making IN effort tc
work the roads. One of the over
seers said to us Il day or two since
that ''the tarnation fellows who
passed our present road law die
not know enough to chase COWS out
of a corn field, much less pass laws
to make roads by" Just now
when every farmer is SO busy hi
can't get time to sleep, the roac
overseer comes along and notiie:
him to report at a certain place il
the district and put in so many
days on the roads. This worl
must be done in June, and thi!
year, as harvest is right upon them
about seven out of ten farmers wht
are notified by the overseer to re
port for work absolutely refuse tt
turn out and heed the notice. Thu
result is that very little work ii
done, and where done at all is &C
complished in such a slip-shot
manner as to be ofno lasting bene'
fit to the roads. The legislato:
who will introduce a sensible roae
law next winter and work for it,

CLARINDA, Iowa, May 3, 1SSG.-MR. 7. II. JACKsoN-DEAR
SIR: Some five years since, at your solicitation, | used your
Common-Sense Liniment on a case of fstula of eighteen months
standing. The old horse was a favorite and l could not kill him
nor could induce any of my hired hands to do it. You will re
member I was passing the old barn of Capt. Burns one morning
diseased horses. | said [ had the old horse, that he was incura-
bic and that | would give ten dollars to any one who would take
him clear away and kill him. You remarked you would cure
him or give me ten dollars. You gave me two bottles of your
1iniment, which were used. and the old horse was completely
cured in less than four months.
| have had one cured on the farm since and have recommend
ed the liniment to be used in Il large number of cases and never
have known a failure.
1have continually kept the liniment for use in my barn and
find it the equal, if not the superior of any liniment for every
purpose when one is needed for horses and cattle.
Yours Very Truly, n. B. MOORE.

WHAT'S THE USE?

What's the use of mi%srepresent-
ing facts in a campaign? Such a
policy is found to be suicidal. The
IntsHigeneer of Monday says:
"While supporting Mr.. Francis
for the nomination the Globe-Demo-
crdt, we understand, is procuring a
q list of mortgages held by D. R.
Francis & Co. on property through
cut the State, and of property pro-
cured by the same firm through
option deals, to use against him in
case of his nomination.
The Globe-D Democrat of Sunday
said:
"The Hon. Gadfy Glover, in a
speech in Bates County a few days
ago, said that she knew it to be a
fact that the Globe Democrat was
preparing q list of mortgages
throughout Missouri which had
been foreclosed by d. r. Francis,
to be used in the event of the NOM
ination of Mr.. Francis" The Hon.
Gadfiy is mistaken; that is to say,
he lies.D

Crop Weather Bulletin,

The rainfall for the week Just
passed was above the seasonable
average in Andrew, Atchison,
Buchanan, Clark, Gentry, EIarri-
son and Shelby counties. The
average rain fell in Boone, Cape
Girardeau, Charlton, Dayiess,
Holt, Jefferson, Mracon, Marion,
Mercer, Miller, Moniteau, New
Madrid and Pettis counties, while
a deficiency is reported from
twenty-four counties.
The temperature throughout the
State was above the seasons aver
age.
There was much sunshine during
the week.
The general effects of the warm
weather and abundant sunshine on
the growing crops were good. The
absence of frequent rains, gave the
farmers and opportunity 10 harvest
and do other farm work. The
heavy storm in North Missouri on
the night of the 4th did much
damage by blowing down corn,
oats and wheat. Atchison county
reports the inundation Of 1900
acres Of cultivated land by the
Missouri river. Chinch bugs are
becoming numerous in South Mis-
souri,, owing to the dry weather.
Corn is looking small and weedy
in extreme North Missouri on &C
count oftoo much rain. The oat
harvest has commenced in South
Missouri and the yield is unusual
ly fine.

Our contemporary is tearing its
shirt off because the GIobe-Demo-
crat and the Journal Of agriculture
and st. Louis Republic and a hun
dred other papers are not fighting
Francis, and claim he should be
defeated because some Oh them are
for him. The Critic, Dispatch
and Kansas City Times and papers
of that ilk throughout the State are
fighting him, which is perfectly
satisfactory to the Mascot and his
friends. Glance over the papers
in the State Of Missouri to-day and
you will soon see that nearly all
the old-time Democratic papers,
which have the interest of the
party at heart, are for Francis
notably, the st. Louis Republic,
Galloway Gazette, Jefferson City
Tribune, Paris Mercury and Ap.

Pike county papers, Fayette Adver.

and, in fact, nearly all the old.

think he is the best timber. Francis
has no reason to be ashamed of the

A NEW DIVISION.

As the campaign progresses II
becomes more evident that the
tariff issue will force - new diyis-
ion of the voters.
Already from many parts ot the
country come reports OF kepubli-
cans who are repelled from the sup
port OF the candidate OF their party
by the platform adopted at Chica
go. Similar accounts are published
of Democrats who will desert their
party because of the policy pro
mulgatrdhy the President, adopted
by its representatives. in Congress
and indurscd 10y the National Con
vcntion.
1t is natural that this should be
so. The theory of party ~organiZa-
ton and party government is that
| men who think alikoa and whose in
terests are Identical should act to-
gether. Why should n citizen who
believes in 4 freer trade, lower
taxes on necessities and the pre-
vention of Il surplus vote against
his convictions because he was Il
Republican on the slavery ques-
ton or i'll support of the war? Why
should Il man who believes in per-
petuating the war tariff, even If
whIskey and tobacco have 10 be
freed from taxation and a policy OF
extravaganza be adopted to get rid
of the surplus, vote with Democrats
who are directly and openly OPP
posed to his views?
There is but one issue of ANY
consequence in the present canvass.
1t embodics Il new irrcpressible
conflict, and it will rs inevitably
cause Il realignment Of parties, now
or later, as did the old conflict be-
tween freedom and slavery.

Every person VIII 0 owns a good
house should have an A No. l cop
per lightning rod on it as a protec,
ton both to the property and
family. The cost of rodding a
house is trihing as compared with
death and destruction from cleo
tricity, which is liable, during
storms, to overtake any of us.
Almost every day the newspapers
contain accounts of people being
killed and houses destroyed by
lightning, which, with a little pre-
caution in the way of a good cop
per rod, could be avoided. 1t is
the prevailing opinion that cop
per is the finest conductor,
hence we believe the copper rod
the best, although there are other
rods used. At any rate, put up
some kind of a rod and be prepared.
