A Snrewd Doctor.

celebrated German physician, says the Chi

aristocratic lady. the sole cause of whose com

it would never do to tell her SO, so his medical
advice ran thus:
Arise at O'Clock, take a walk in the park
for one hour, then drink cup Of tea: then walk
another hour and take cup of chocolate Taks
breakfast at g."
Her condition improved visibly, until one fine
morning the carriage of the baroness was seen
to approach the paysieans residence at light

The patient dashed up TO the doctors Office
and on his appearing on the scene she gasped
out: 20, doctor, took the chocolate frstl'

ALMA CREAMERY,

Special to the I~ntelligencer.
ALMA, Mo-, May 1.-the creamery
opened here last Monday a week since,
and the opening was witnessed by many
visitors besides the stockholders. This
industry is of the Davis & Rankin (Chi-
cago) make, and Is bidding fair 10 be a
good success.
The run the first day was 1898 pounds of
milk, with a result of 81 pounds of butter,
which sold at once for 20 cents u pound.
The run has been increasing so that now
more than 100 pounds of buttef are made
n day.
The stock consists of fifty shares, OF 300
each. Only one share can be legally held
by a member The plant cost "A 1850. The
building is ample and a sforty-foot well
supplies the water.
w. j. Pollard is president, and w. l..
Keuck, secretary. The expert butter
maker and manage gets $75 a month.
Several head of cattle will be brought here
this spring. The company pays go cents
a hundred for milk this month.
This enterprise bids fair to be one of the
most profitable investments of the county.
The writer has observed that at Cheney,
Kansas, and other creamery towns, where
the Davis and Rankin machinery worked,
that farmers who sold milk regularly to
the creamery had credit at the stores. This
section is so well adapted to the keeping
of lows at a good profit that the people
need not fear a failure. This enterprise
can afford to keep in business because it
pays the farmers q profit and yields its
stockholders a good dividend.

THE RIVER STILL BOOMING.

Last week the INTELLIGENCER spoke of
the rise in the Missouri river, caused by
the almost incessant rains. This week the
story is to be repeated, with additions.
Thursday evening the waters were higher
than at any time this year, and had risen
seventeen inches during the thiIty-six
our ending at that time. The govern
ment gauge below the ferry landing show
ed 267. 10 feet, thirteen feet above the zero
mark. The club house of the Lexington
Gun Club at Riverside park was entirely
surrounded by water, and the river at @
o'clock Thursday evening had overfiowed
its banks below the Santa Fe depot at
NORTH Lexington. This did not occur
last week.
The high stage of the water and the
stiff north vino on Wednesday caused the
bank to tumble in along the line of the
Jefferson City, Boonville and Lexington
division, and a long section of track had
to be moved back to prevent it from fall
ing into the river. Several telegraph poles
went in. Trains on the road moved very
slowly and carefully over the dangerous
section, and a double watch was kept
Thursday night. The river was still ris-
ing at dark.

Mr.. C. Kraus recently returned from
a trip along the highway and through
the intervening mud holes between this
and Lexington, reports an interview
with a road overseer as to the POSSIBLE
ity of passing through n mud hole close
to that city. He was advised to try it,
and was told that some teams had been
known to pass through it, this however
the overseer could by no means guar
antee as some had been known to fail.
1t seems that with all the talk about
good roads, that the overseers might
concentrate their efforts on such points
as are dangerous or impassible.-Wa-

The INTELLIGENCER pointed out 10
the county court over n year ago a
cheap and efficient way of handling
bad hills, crossings and mudholes in
county roads; and that is to work the
convicts. Wherever this has been tried
it mas proved satisfactory. The court
will possibly get a new nerve on after
the '94 election.

On the 22d of last February the New

were 1884 delegates, all good democrats,
in that convention. These democratic
delegates represented the party in
every county and assembly district IN
the great empire state, and were there
to voice its preference for presidential
honors. On q test vote only four out
of these 3S4 delegates cast their ballots
against Senator Hill; and this, to any
one who knows anything about politics,
is a straighout, unequiyocal party en-

The royal gold-bug speaks of the sill
yer dollar as a fiat dollar. Oh, yes,
there's a good deal of fiat in this
country. II was fiat that, prior to
1873, made ninety-seven cents worth of
gold, when it received the government
stamp, a dollar. 1t is fiat that coins
about thirty-five cents worth of copper
into five dollars worth of penny pieces.
1t is fiat that through coinage converts
seventy cents. worth of nickel into five
dollars worth of money. Il is fiat that
takes a piece OF paper worth about one
mill or less and DEGREES it into a So,
$40, $50, 800 or a $1,000 bank note,
current all over this broad land, con
vertible at any bank in the union into
gold, silver or other form of money.
Fiat is a terrible thing TO people who
don't stop to. reject that every dollar
they handle is such by virtue of the fiat
of law.

For years the city. has been paying out

for which the incumbent of the Office was
notoriously unfit, though drawing full
salary and required by law to do just That
work.
When you want surveying or engineer

PROOF NOT sUEEICIENT.

Two weeks ago the INTELLIGENcEF
propounded a question to the indie.
pendence Sentinel. This question was
in substance, "what proof have you,
Mr.. Sentinel, of your charge that Gov.
Hill, of New York, snapped the presi-
deney for the governorshipP"
AS the INTELLIGENCER supposed il
would, the Sentinel r%ejoins, but instead
of proof, such as would be demanded
in a suit for SANDER, produces only
surmise. 1t says:
In 1883 Cleveland was he democrat
ic candidate for pres nd ID. b,
Hill for governor of &c. When
the vote was couAse9 Cleveland had
pofled in New York 635, 961 and Har-
rison CSC, 338. On the other hand Hill
for governor had polled 65O,464 and
his opponent Miller 631, 1898. Cleveland
lost New York by II, 1877 votes while at
the same election on the same ticket
Hill carried the state by 10,171, a diff
ference of 3,546 votes. ANY one who
understands the working of politics
viii need no greater proof that the
presidency was snapped tor the gov
ernorship and Hill was the beneficiary.
In fact the charge was plainly made by
the New York papers and practically
admitted by Hills friends. As corrobo-
rative evidence, in 1892 Flower, demo-
crat, received in New York for govern
or 582, 1913 votes and Fassett, republic
can, 534956. a plurality of Al ,037 when
no presidential campaign was in
progress.
So, the fact that Mr.. Cleveland was
less popular with his party in New
York, than David b. Hill, and ran be-
hind him by some 4 1000 votes must be
taken as a proof that Hill snapped the
presidency for the governorship, must
FTP
If that Is proof, then we have evidence
OF much s%candulous work in 1888.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor in Alabama must have done a
little swapping that year, for he run
ahead OF Cleveland 1868 votes.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Arkansas must have also been
on a trading expedition that year for he
beat Mr.. Cleveland 3,267 votes. In
Florida Mr.. Cleveland ran behind the
democratic state ticket 594 votes. and
in Louisiana 1926. What superb
"swapping'' these fellows must have
done.
Why don't you fire into themp
In Missouri, however, the thing was
reversed. Mr.. Cleveland beat Mr..
Francis by 6,21O votes. Would it be
just to chafgeatlat Mr.. Cleveland tried
to swap a goyernorship for the presi-
dency?
How is it that only Hill is accused of
treachery, when there is so much proof
against many others, including Mr..
Cleveland, of the same character as
that used against him.
And who was it that betrayed Mr..

Some time 20, when Judge Eyland was
about to pronounce sentence upon n man
who had pleaded guilty To II grave o~lfense,
the man handed to the judge Il soiled slip
OF paper, upou which was printed the lit
tie poem hereto annexed, and asked him
to read it. The man said it had been writ
ten by a fellow-prisoner, and gave the
cause of his fall, and of his great crime.
1t describes the mournful cause of much
of the crime and suffering of this day:
THE POEM.
I've something TO say to you,
You'll admit before Pm through,
That what Pm going to say is right and
just;
For no matter where you be,
There are mortals o will see
On whom you'll gaze with horror and
disgust.
Though the man on whom you frown
May be poor and broken down,
And pressed by cold misfortune to the
wall,
Just lend to him your hand,
Fol you will understand
There is Il God above who made us all
CHORUS:
So il you should ever meet
A poo drunkard in the street,
Just pity him but don't condemn, 1 pray,
Though rum has brought him low
And his cup is filled with woe,
He may become Il sober man some day.
Did you ever stop to think,
That before he took to drink,
He may have been some mothers only
boy?
Once so happy, light and free
AS he sat upon her knee,
'Twas then to him n Joy without alloy,
And no doubt to him she said,
AS she brushed his curly head,
"One day my boy, you'll rise to wealth
and fame"
But alas, poor mothers zone
And her boy is broken down,
Through beer and rum is brought to grief
and shame.
And perhaps his wife ut home
AS she looks for him to come,
With fearful eyes her lot she does bewaii,
As she prays to God above
To look down on her in love,
And keep her John from going to the Jail.
And the children in the cot,
Sharing mothers wretched lot
Perhaps, through cold ard hunger, fall
asleep;
While the fathers drinking rum
In some hell hole in your town,
The promise made to wife he cannot keep.
