PLEADED WITH GOV. STONE.
Mrs. Murphy Walked From ST. Louis
to JEFF. City to Ask n Pardon
for Her Son.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Sept. 81
Mrs. Murphy of st. Louis, aged So
years, appeared before Gov. Stone
early this morning, and in a tremb-
ling voice, asked him to pardon her
son, Peter Murphy, from the PEN
itentiary, where he is serving a 80
years sentence for a criminal as
sault committed upon an old woman
in a st. Louis lumber yard.
Not having any money to pay rail-
road fare, the old woman walked all
the way from st, Louis and arrived
here last night.
She called at the Governors man.
sion early this morning, and during
a fearful and %hysterical appeal, told
the Governor that her son was limo
cent and she wanted him pardoned
from the prison.
She did not seem to know the ma
ture of the crime her son was con-
victed of, although she vas aware
that his sentence was for 80 years.
Gov. Stone treated her with great
kindness and promised to look into
the case and take such action as it
merits.
The aged mother then went to the
Penitentiary and paid her son a visit.
Murphy was jointly indicted with
Pat Duffy for a most %atrocious
crime. They were caught while
committing the deed, by a police
officer.
Both appealed their cases to the
Supreme Court without effect, and
had their long sentence confirmed.
Murphy has been in bad health
for several months, and as the prison
physician thinks he is likely to die,
he may be pardoned. Otherwise
there is no hope.
"Uncle" Abe HIT is home from
Louisville, KY, where he and his
wife spent several weeks visiting
relatives. "Unele" Abe says he
tried his hardest TO elect Bill Breck-
inridge, but he couldn't do it. He
says he worked like a Turk for him,
but Bill was no good. Mrs. Hit
stopped off at st. Charles on her
way home and will visit friends
there before returning home.

Ehe Value OF Beans.

Beans are more nutritious than
meat, and it is likely that at ne dis,
tant day science will devise some
method Of preparing them is food
that will overcome what is now the
greatest obstacle to their universal
use, the difficulty with which they
are digested by persons either not of
robust stomachs, or who are seden-
tary in habit.
1t is not at all unlikely that, with
the growth of population and the
consequent increase in the cost OF
animal food, they will take the place
of the latter to a considerable eX-
tent. They are exceedingly rich in
protein, or muscle building sub
stance, and, therefore, have power
of sustaining men through arduous
physical toll. The lumbermen OF
Maine, it is said, almost live on
baked beans, and never tire OF them.

AGUE CAKE.
Enlargement of the Spleen Caused by
Chronic Catarrb.

People who have been much at
ficted with malaria or fever and
ague are very liable to have a full
ness or enlargement of the left side
Just under the ribs. This is COM
monty called in malarious districts
ague cake. This fullness is due to
enlargement of the spleen, caused
by the malaria. The enlarged spleen
presses against the heart above,
causing palpitation of the heart and
shortness of breath. 1t also presses
against the stomach and bowels,
causing disturbed digestion, bloat-
ing, constipation, gurgling in left
side, and a formation of great guam
titles of gas.
As long as there is a particle OF
the malarial poison left in the sys
tenn, not only will the ague cake
continue to disturb the junction Of
the other organs, but the enlarged
organs tends to perpetuate the pois-
on in the system.
1t seems to be a settled fact that
Pe-ru-na is the most reliable, if not
the only, remedy that can be relied
on to cleanse the system in cases OF
/ chronic malaria. 1t neve fails to
bring relief to these disagreeable
symptoms, and if a regular course
| of Pe-ru-na is taken it does not fail
to permanently cure.
In order to furnish the public q
complete knowledge Of the effect oil
Pe.ru-na in old cases of chronic ma
laria the Pe-ru-na DrugManufactur.
ing Company of Columbus, Ohio,
have published an illustrated pamph'
let on chronic malaria, which will be
sent free to any address.

This county should not give Boon
a dozen votes, and principally be-
because he is not qualified to rep
resent any constituency. Take his
bills for instance, and there are but
two possible conclusions as regards
their originator, either he knows that
such a proposed measure is an
impossible absurdity, or he is not
possessed of average sense. If he
originated and introduced such a
measure for the purpose of misleading
people and securing a reelection, he
is using the tactics of a designing
demagogue and unworthy of support,
and if he did not know any better
than to propose SO palpably ride
ulous a measure, he does not know
enough to represent an intelligent
constituency. Take either view of
the case and from whatsoever stand
point Boen's candidacy is considered,
there are only two possible conclus-
ion to reach, namely, he is either un-
safe or unfit to represent this district.
