Judgsd BY Its Newspaper.

A study Of the local newspapers OF
any town shows who the men are
who help to build IL up. No town
ever amounted to anything without
the aid Of q local press. and q paper
can not live without the advertising
patronage OF the business men OF the
town where It is printed.
1t pays any man directly to adver-
tise and the indirect benefit to him
by building up live paper that ad-
vertises the town is very great.
The newspapers OF town are the
factors by which town is judged by
outsiders, says an exchange. Alook
through the columns will show who
are the live business men and who
are the dronee. The man who re-
fuses TO advertise his business In his
home paper lie not only losing bust.
ness for himself, but is damaging the
town in which he lives.
1t is not necessary to advertise ex-
tensively; but every business man in
town should have at least q small
advertisement
Your home paper works
in season aud out OF season
to advertise anil build up the town,
and it is your duty to stand by It,
not only i'm Hush but in dull times

One Of Tom Harper's Jokes.

Tom Harper, an old Brunswick
boy. now night operator at Key
tesville station. perpetrated a rich
joke on a couple Of his fellow water
melon flends on Friday night of last
week.
1t seems that young Harper, Will
and Ernest Brummall, sons of Sec
tion Foreman Brummall, ,and Harvey
Perkins, son of DR.. l.. r. Perkins,
OF this place, had been enjoying an
occasional watermelon which they
purloined from "Prof." John
Krigbaum's melon patch. near the
depot, but without Prof. Krig-
baum's knowledge or consent.
Last Friday night another raid on
the melon patch was planned by
Harper and Will, the elder of the
Brummall Bros. Brummall was to
secrete himself near the melon patch
with ehot.gun, and when Harper.
Perkins and the junior Brummall
made their appearance, Will Brum-
mall was te fire of the gun and
Harper was to fall as though he had
been shot.
The scheme was carried out to
perfection, and at the crack of the
gun Harper fell. and Perkins and
Ernest Brummall started on dead
run toward the depot, with their
hair standing on end and their
hearts trying to jump out of their
mouths.
Tom declares that Perkins got
tangled up in q barbed wire fence
and that Brummall. the younger,
ran into the creek. After reaching
the depot the boys seated themselves
on truck and at once assumed q
look Of innocence which made them
appear meeker than Moses.
When Will Brummall and Harper
arrived shortly afterwards, Perkins
and Ernest. .Brummall realized that
they had been made the victims OF q
well planned and successfully execut-
ed practical joke. but some how they
don't care much ior watsrmelons
now, and in fact have not been able
to look melon in the face since.

A Row at q Picnic.

Last Saturday q colored picnic
was given on the farm of George
White, COL, in Salt Creek township,
for the purpose of raising funds to
assist in building q church on
Whites farm.
Among the attractions on the
grounds was dancing platform and
it was over the merry dance that q
couple OF colored females. from Mar
celine. we believe, were precipitated
into q row.
There we're several white people ON
the grounds. and among them was
constable 8. F. Fry, who placed the
two pugnacious negro women under
arrest for disturbing the peace. John
Anderson, OF Msrceline. one of the
white attendants at the picnic, In
teriered and informed Fry that he
had no right to arrest the women
without q warrant. Thus encour-
aged, one of the women proceeded to
blUody Fry's nose in the most ap-
proved style, and It is said did an
exceedingly good job Of 1t, too.
When quiet was restored, Ander-
son, who was arrested on q charge
OF resisting or interfering with an
officer in the discharge OF bis official
duties, gave bond in the sum OF $50
for his appearance, at Mendon, for
trial on Wednesday, Aug. Gath, he
having taken change of venue TO
Squire A. F. Woods court. at that
place.
The negro women. it seems, were
not placed under bond. and Mr.. Fry
went to Marceline last Monday to
re-srrest them. We have not learned
when or where their trials will take
place.

The mean temperature for the
week ending Saturday. August 18th,

AMI in some OF the southwestern and
Ia portions of few of the southern
counties the prospects are still favor
able for more than an average crop.
In some sections late corn 10 past

while In others, with seasonable
rains, the yield will be fairly good.
In q few localities In the north-cen-
trsl and southeastern counties were
quite heavy showers have occurred

A Serious Runaway.

A party of Keytesville negroes
started out to colored Methodist
campmeeting being held on the
premises of Jerry Hayes, FIVE or six
miles west of Keytesville, last Sun
day evening.
While driving down a hill near the
residence of Sandy Bruce, one of the
pole straps on the breastyoke broke
in two and let the tongue of the
hack to the ground. This frighten-
ed the horses and they commenced
to run. In their fight they upset
the conveyance. iniuring several and
perhaps all OF the occupants.
Mrs. Tolman Dysart. Mrs. Martha
Monroe, Ella Ewing and Silas Ewing
we're all more or less bruised, and
Mrs. Monroe was confined to ber bed
for a few days from the effects OF
injuries received. Walter Ewing, who
was doing the driving. was also con-
siderably shaken up and bruised and
In addition received "unmention-
able" injuries.
The horses ran into q barbed wire
fence, but were not seriously hurt.
The top OF the hack was wrecked
and the tongue to the vehicle was
broken in two.
The rig belonged to Liveryman L.
P. Wood, and presented decidedly
dilapidated appearance when
brought into town the next morn
ing.
Everything considered, the party
has every reason to congratulate
themselves that they Jared no
worse.

County Clerk r. d. Edwards,
Treasurer a. L. Welch, Sheriff j. e.
Dempsey, wife and baby, Geo. N.
Elliott, Blair Miller and several
other Keytesville citizens attended
the big Democratic picnic, st Lake
wood. near Sumner, last Wednse-
dsy.
About 1000 people were present,
still the attendance was not as large
a. was anticipated.
Everyone was well pleased with
the days pleasures, and speak Of the
management OF the picnic In the
highest terms.
The orators Of the day were Con-
gresham o. s. Hall, Hon. E. n.
Harber, Of Trenton, and Hon. L. A.
Martin, of Chillicothe, all of whom
delivered rousing, soul-stirring Dem
ocratic speeches. In fact, the picnic
was q success in every particular
with the single exception, perhaps,
of proving financially profitable to
it's projectors.
Mr.. Hall during the course of his
speech challenged both the Populist
and Republican nominees for con-
gress in this district to joint debate
on the political issues of the day and
II is to be hoped they will accept the
challenge as that is the only proper
and intelligent way to conduct q
political campaign.
Mr.. Hall will be present at the
Populist picnic to be held at tho
Keytesville fair grounds next Mon
day, August 9th, and through the
OF the management has
been generously granted the privi-
lege of an hours time in which to
make q speech.
Those who wish to be enlightened
on Populistic and Democratic doc
trines can not sfford to miss hearing
the discussion of Political issues
here next Monday.

STOLE A SUIT OF CLOTHES

In our last Issue we spoke OF q
medicine outfit, from Glasgow, being
on our streets introducing an cleo
trio belt and q pile remedy.
On Friday night the man who did
the talking for the party stole a $23
suit OF clothes belonging to Charles
Parker, who boards at HaDsman's
restaurant, and left town between
two days.
The mans name was not learned,
but judging from his appearance and
his nimble- fingered habits his name
might be anything that best suits
his purpoes.
The value of the suit of clothes
will not justify Mr.. Parker in making
a the required outlay to apprehend
the thief.

A GREAT RRAur1FIER.
The Philosophy of sleeping when One is
sleepy.


Sunshine, music. work and sleep are
the great medicines for women. They
need more sleep than men, for whether
By constitution or lack OF exercise and
unhygienic living they are not as strong
and their nerves are more acute.
Occupation is great factor in the
Punishment OF the ''blues" and even of
grief. Not overwork. Not the going
from the meeing OF one club TO the lun-
cheon OF another, with a half-hOur at
some philOothroplc organization and a
mad rush to an afternoon tea. That is
not occupation. Women fritter away
time and precious energy in a vain at
tempt TO do everything. Not having
learned the secret OF saying mo" they
rush about from one thing TO another,
futtering, fusSlng and wasting energy
by dispensing IL in homeopathic doses
upon a multitude OF interests. They
neutralize any benefit that might arise
from their assistance by lack Of cOucen-
tration. The result Is lot Of nervous,
irritable women.
ORGANIZATIONS would feel the benefit
Of membership of women who could
work with real enthusiasm, because so
many drafts were not made upon IL.
Human beings are such creatures Of
habit. But while the habit Of futtering
is contagious, so also is the conJagion
OF reposs-the latter q quality that
needs cultivation In the United States.
Pianos are kept keyed up to concert
pitch, but soon return TO the normal.
1t is impossible to live at concer: pitch.
Many, indeed most people, have
learned the philosophy Of eating when
they are hungry, but those who realize
the necessity OF sleeping when they are
sleepy are rare. Not less than 5 hours
should be the measure Of sleep for a
healthy woman under so. They may
and do continue the fulillment of their
various duties with less, but it is only
by drawiuG upon the systems reserve
force, aud drafts OF this kind are paya-
BILE with compound interest.
People complain OF temper One OF
the most eficacious remedies for temper
is sleep. And as a beautfer it leads
the long list Of washes, tones and cos
metcs. The brain is a more delicate
organ than the stomach, and nothing
so surely disorders il as want OF sleep.
