features, being Sirty miles the shortest
line between st. Louis and Louisville, and

on day trains and Pullman SIeeperS ON

direct route to all points in Eastern Ken

The Beauty of Health,

How many women with regular features
that might be beautiful, are not, and instead
of awakening our admiration only arouse
our pity. Their hollow eyes and sunken
cheeks and sallow skin haunt our memory.
Alas an invalid wife or mother or sister
fills the house with gloom and sadness, and
an otherwise happy fireside is shadowed
with pail of regret. Blessed be the physi-
clan who has invented a remedy with power
to strengthen the female organization, that
regulates the delicate functions of feminine
life, that relieves those bearing down pains,
that renews the appetite, that perfects di-
gestion, that brightens the eyes and beauti-
ties the complexion with the glow of health.
Such remedy is Dr. Bulls Sarsaparilla
1t is woman's best friend for counteracting
the evils that afflict her sex Thousands of
ladies owe their beauty to use of this in
comparable Alternative. Demand it of your
druggist. Take no other.-PdrtS NewS.

he is interested il businfs' with him, and
Malone did bis utmost to have him appoint
ed l. is also known that MShone would
have had sny other mau appointed. True,
Mr. Aguew supported the State ticket last
wear, but siuce then Mr.. Aenew has been e
kicker from the word go. He has been de-
wing the Malone crowd to certain extent,
and because be is a man of too much inde-
Dend nee TO train with the local scum in the
republican party in his city he has been de-
nounced by some of the Malone people as
not being republican.
