BROKEN OUT !!

How often do we see this on the faces
of children and, alas, of people who other
wise are healthy? What causes it? Bad
Blood. The thought is terrible; the
trouble is worse. No ordinary help can
remove it. 1t requires something I'M
usual. Do not take cheap sarsaparillas
or blood purifiers. You must have some
thing that has proven its power in both
Europe and America. General Wheat
croft Nelson. of London, SAYS: My
experience N the English army, as well
rs IN America, convinces me that nothing
so thoroughly purifies the blood, or adds
TO the health, vigor and life, as DR..
Acher's English Blood Elixir"
This grand Elixir Is sold by druggists
in all parts of America. 1t is a good,
pure, honest medicine. Try it to-day.

Hiph.nriced Oysters.

Oysters will be of better quality
than usual, this year, and conse-
quently may be d little high,
Wholesale dealers say that this Is
mainly due to the law that has
been passed in the oystering
States, requiring the culling of the
catches. Oysters that are less than
about three years old are not large
enough for market. The law COM
pels the fishers to dump them
overheard again, upon the beds, all
such little fellows. 1t is a sort of
inspection of the oyster on the
hoot, 80 to spsak, and it results in
giving us a better class of oysters
than we have teen getting for some
time. The ruling prices are about
ten cents a gallon higher now than
they were last year. There Is
much probability that the price
will continue up all through the
season. 1t will not be unreasona.

A Young Writer Advocates
Closing the Gates of Amer

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Sept. 3O.-DEAR
SIR: As [ am a reader of your
paper l take the liberty to write
you a few lines in regard to the
question of foreign immigration. 1t
is a question of vital Importance,
and should have the attention of
the entire American people. The
country is rapidly being filled with
foreigners of all classes, and the
situation Is becoming as alarming
as it was in ancient Roman times,
when the Roman god permitted
one million Visigoths to cross the
frontiers and make their abode i'll
the Roman Empire. Any one who
has read Roman History knows
the result. They disregarded Ro.
man laws and ideas; civil wars fol-
lowed and finally the downfall of
the Roman Empire. The great
inflow of strangers caused them to
lose their ancestral valor and patri-
otism. 1t is on the saue principle
that the foreigners of this country
slight the birthday of the immortal
Washington. Every year we see
less manifestations of thankfulness
for the service ne rendered to our
country. The socialistic uprising
in Chicago several years ago was
nothing more than a repetition in
this country of the Visigothic at
tacks on the Roman Republic.
You will find the same class Of
people in this Republic as those
who crossed the Rhine and made
the attacks on the capitol of the
Roman Empire. Human nature is
the same now as it was then. The
history of our Republic is repeated
in the history of another. W.
should grow wiser and profit by the
fates of former Republics long since
fallen into decay. There was
time in the History of the Roman
Empire, when to say II am a Ro
man citizen" was greater than t.
be a king. What is it to say,
am an American citizen! Roman
citizenship meant something unit
the streets and by-ways were over
run with strangers. The people o
the United States should take hole
of this question at the next Pfesi
Dental election and make it one o
the issues in the campaign.
Yours, ETC.,
XENoPHoN.

Col. r. H. Norton, of Troy, Mo-,
representing the Seventh Congress
sional District, is at the Laclede.
In response to an inquiry the
Colonel said to a Republic repre-
sentative: 81 came to st. Louis
to complete my arrangements with
the State Committee for my COM
ing canvass. Everything In my
district is harmonious. The Far
mers' Alliance and labor unions OF
the Seventh District are fully
organized. A great many lodges
have been instituted. They have
formulated plans for a concerted
and intelligent canvass of the
political situations and conditions
They have prepared interrogatlons
which are being propounded to all
contestants for congressional pre-
ferment. They are c%ognizant OF
the fact that a continuity of Re.
publlcanism means not only a con.
tinuatlon of the burdens they now
bear, but an increase of h~ardships'
They demand relief and they look
to the Democratic party to help
them. A large portion of my con
stituency comprises the German
farmer. Now, the ordinary Ger
man farmer is a man OF discretion
and judgment, very conservative
and slow to act, but intelligent ano
comprehensive. They read the
newspapers and institute COMPARE
sons, and once they decide upon
line of action they are firm in theil
convictions and steadfast in princi

NO SIDE WALK.
The Council Votes Not to Have
a Side Walk to Fleets
SchOOl-VariOus Rea-
SONS Given.

On Saturday night a vote was
taken In the City Council as to
whether the Street Commissioner
should be instructed to lay a side
walk along the south side of the
Boulevard to be assessed to the
property owners or not. Roden
and White voted yes. Reid, Lup-
ton and Allison no. Armstrong,
absent. The Council, by this vote,
dlsposes OF a side walk to the Fleet
School in rather a peculiar manner.
In other cases where property
owners have refused to put down
a walk the Council puts the same
down and collects off the property
owners. Allison voted no because
he says there is no need for the
walk. Reid says he understands
Clark threatened the city with a
law suit and votes no. Lupton
says he fears the city could not
collect by law and votes no. The
City Attorney says there is no
question but what the property
would stand good for the walk.
One thing is certain, and that is,
there is a crying necessity for a
walk to this college. Twenty-Five
pupils go to and from the school
every day besides the boarders and
others. At least one hundred
people have to go to church from
there, and it is a disgrace not to
have a side walk. The side walk
can and should be built at once.
1t a be built without costing the
city a cent.

MRS. PITZER RETURNS.
She Vigorously Denies the
Charge of Having Eloped
With Pack Green-Has
Been in MOberly,

Mrs. Bette Pitzer, wife of George
Pitzer, who is employed on Har-
rison's brick yard, has returned to
Mexico, only to find home broken
up, children gone and a husband
who will have nothing more to do
with her. A month ago Mrs.
Pitzer's husband gave her permits
sion TO visit in Moberly for a
month and also gave her $40 90
with which to pay her expenses.
The same day she left town Pack
Green also took his departure and,
as Packs wife was said to have
lett him on account of his alleged
improper relations with Mrs. Pit
ger, gossip at once took the mat
ter up and made it appear that
Green and Mrs. Pitzer had left the
country together. Mrs. Pltzer call
ed at this office to-day and denied
ever having seen Green after she
left the Mexico depot. She says
she went TO Moberly and has been
there ever since with the family of
Dan Wilson, and did not know a
word about the trouble until her
arrival home yesterday. Pitzer,
believing his wife had eloped with
Green, sold all his household eff
fects and sent two of the children
to Mrs. Pitzer's relatives in Illinois.
The other child-a younger one
Mrs Pitzer had with her. While
in Mcberly she says she wrote one
letter and a postal to her husband,
but got no answer to either. She
says her friends all knew where
she was going and that they could
and should have prevented any
such stories getting out about her.
As her husband refuses to again
live with her, Mrs. Pitzer will
leave tomorrow for Illinois, where
her children are
Mrs. Pitzer is in a great deal OF
trouble over the matter and Wept
continuously while in conversation
with the reporter She says she
supposed her husband was busily
engaged at his work and, as she
was to be absent such a short time,
thought it not necessary to answer
the letter she wrote him. She was
perfectly dumbfounded on learn
ing the report on her and Green
and TO find her home broken up.
She says her husband was a good
provider for his family and that
they always lived peaceably to-
gether. Mrs. Pitzer denounces the
report on her and Green as false II
every particular. She looks anc
talks like an honest woman. We
publish the above at her request,
and to give her side of the story
the same prominence in these col
umns as the alleged elopemen
