That is What Mrs. Julia Blanchard
Says Since Being Treated
by Or. Milen.

Mrs. Julia Blanchard, of St.
Louis, daughter of Recorder J. NJ.
Riley, has been in Mexico for the
past four weeks under treatment of
DIR. Milen for stomach and other
troubles peculiar to her sex.
"You can say for me-" said Mrs.
Blanchard to a reporter, s'that no
enc has known the extent of my
sufferings except my family, but I
can assure you they were of an in
tense character. Ihave been under
treatment in st. Louis, ofthree diff
ferent physicians, all we'll known
to the profession; but my condition
did not improve. Four weeks ago
I was advised to consult DR.. Milen
Of this city, and since I have been
under his treatment, I improved
from the beginning and to-day I
feel as well as I ever did in my
life. DR.. Milen's Ep1dermic medl-
Gated baths are no doubt a great
invention. They have certainly
brought joy to my household"
The above is only one of the
many endorsements coming from
the Doctors patients. Those who
are suffering from chronic diseases
are advised to consult any of the
patients before they apply fol
treatment.

The Jefferson City Tribune
thinks the " farmers of Saline
county should not condemn Burks
and his assistants until they have
been tried, and says: "As it will
be two months yet until the new
grain law goes into effect and until
the commissioners and Col. Burks
have an opportunity to test it and
either prove their ability or inabil-
ity to secure for the producers the
benefits which are expected to fol-
low q strict enforcement OF the law,
it appears to us that it is prema-
ture TO denounce either the COM
missioners or Col. Burks. There
win be plenty Of time to pass res
olut1ons when q failure of one OF
all concerned is scored. Il is plain
IL unjust to denounce the policy
outlined by the commissioners I'M
Cd there d some evidence that
they are 10 the wreng, and ne are

farzaers didnot think Of this and
withheld their condemnation until

The Force of Habit,

Speaking of force of habit re-
minds me of a story that might
bear repeating, says a writer. In
most colleges it is the custom fer
one member of the faculty, usually
the president, to have the super
vision of all absent and diIatory
students, and to him every such
one must go to explain the cause of
his absence or hardness. In one OF
these was very kind and indulgent
guardian of the college discipline.
Every student knew well his
stereotyped way Of saying, well,
I'll excuse you this time, but don't
let it happen again." Although
not in accordance with the usual
rule, a married man had been ad-
mitted to pursue the studies Of the
regular course. One day he was
absent; on the next, appearing with
his class in the doctors room, he
explained with great emfarrass-
ment that the arrival of an heir had
been the cause of his detention.
Without looking up FROM his table,
and apparently without a thought
as to the nature of the excuse, SO
long as there was one, the doctor
grae1ously remarked swell, I'll
excuse you this time, but don't let
it happen again."

Oliver Wendell Holmes: Often
times I have seen a tall ship glide
by against the tide as if drawn by
some invisible bow line, with q
hundred strong arms pulling it.
Her sails were untitled, her
streamers dropping, she had Meth
er side wheel nor stern wheel; still
she moved on stately in serene
triumph, as with her own lite.
But / knew on the other side Of the
ship, hidden beneath the great
hulk that swan SO msjestically,
there was q little toilsome steam
tug, with heart Of fire and arms
of iron, that was Juggling it bravely
on; and I knew if the little steam
tug untwined her arm and left the
ship it would wallow and roll about,
and drift hither and thither, and 20
off with the rehuent tide, no man
knows whittier. And 80 I have
known more than one genius, high
decked, fuil freighted, full sailed,
gay pennoned, but that for the
bare, telling arms, and brave warm
beating heart of the faithful little
wife that nestles close to him, 20
that no wind or wave could part
them, would have gsne down with
the stream, and have been heard Of
no more.

No COMPARISON can be made be.
tween G. A. R. meetings and ex-
Confederate reunions. The former
is a secret society and fourishes in
most places only as an adjunct to
the Republican party. The latter
is merely a meeting of ex-Confed-
crates to which the G.. A. r. order
and the public are invited, and
the objects Of which are simply to
arrange for a home for helpless
and homeless soldiers, and to look
after the graves of the dead COM
rades. The ex-Confederates have
no meetings with closed doors ;
they have no secret signs or pass
words. Politics are not discussed
and the only affairs locked after are
those of the dead and dying.

JEFFERSON CIrY, Sept. 1.-The
publication of the resolutions
adopted Saturday at The farmers
meeting at Marshall h..s occasioned
q great deal of comment here. The
resolutions condemn the board Of
railroad commissioners for the APP
pointment Of Jasper Burks 81 chiei
grain inspector.
Mr.. Burks was appointed through
the strong personal solicitation Of
Senator Vest, Congressman Hatch,
clardy and Norton, Judge Phillips,
Auditor Seibert and other promi-
nent Democrats. He is a farmer
and for five years was a dealer in
grain.
There is a strong supposition
here that the resolutions were cut
and dried and were originated fol
the purpose of creating an unfav.
orable opinion among, the people
