MISSOURI STATE NEWS.



Secretary of State Lesueur has sub
mitted q report to the lower house of
the Legislature in answer to the reso-
luton introduced by Mr.. Dalton asking
for statement of the capital stock Of
all the corporations of the State The
Secretary has complied with the reso-
luton and the House l. now in full
possession of the coveted information.
In his letter accompanying the report.
Mr.. Lesueur says:
deem 1t necessary to point out that the
reports as to capital stock Of railrcsl com
paDies, and those business companies or
ganIzed by legislative enactment before the
adoption Of the general law upon the sub
tect, can not be taken as at all conclusive as
to existent facts, for the reason that there
have been so many changes. consultations
and dissolufIons not required by law TO be
of record In this Office, that the capitaliza.
fion OF the companies at this time can
not be ascertained from the books or
papers OF the department. In examining
the schedules here submitted, II should be
borne in mind that the law does not require
corporations to certify what proportion of
increases OF capital stock Is paid up; tn at
only banks and manufacturing and business
associations are required upon their organi-
zation to state the amount Of their capital
stock paid up; and that this requirement
has only existed since Sovemb q, 1-79.
The difficulty In the way of finding the real
status of corporations in Missouri arises
from the lack of certain Iegislation-t) leg
islation requiring foreign corporation doing
business in the state to file copies of their
articles or charters with the Secretary of
State; (2l legislation requiring all corpora
tons to make stated annual reports, and (3)
legislation requiring the officers of corpora
tions which cease TO do business to certify
that fact to the Secretary of State.

of corporations gives the following as

Is This What Ais You !

Do you have dull, heavy headache, oh
struction of the nasal passages, discharges
falling from the head into the throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at others,
thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody
and putrid; eyes weak, watery, and in
famed; ringing in the ears, deafness, hack
ing or coughing to clear the throat, expec-
toration of offensive matter, together with
scabs from ulcers; voice changed and nasal
twang; breath offensive; smell and taste
impaired; is there a sensation of dizziness,
with mental depression, hacking cough
and general debility?' II you have all, or
any considerable number of these synp-
toms, you are suffering from Nasal Catarrh.
The more complicated your disease has be-
come, the greater the number and diversity
of your symptoms. Thousands of cases an
nually, without manifesting half of the
above symptoms result in consumption, and
end in the grave. No disease is so common,
more deceptive and dangerous, or less I'M
derstood, or more unsuccessfully treated by
physicians. The manufacturers of DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer, in good faith,
reward of $500 for case of this disease
which they can not cure. The Remedy is
sold by all druggists, at only fifty cents.
