history does not tell. One thing is certain
People who do not care what they eat soon
find themselves unable to eat anything at
all without agony. Their offended stomachs
go on strike. Natural digestion ceases.
What is to BIZ done, then? One cannot
live without eating. The only possible help
is in a pre-digested food. which science has
furnished in the form of Paskola. 1t re-

entire system without aid from the stomach
Willard Hettrick of Bridgeton, N. j., says:

dyspepsia and indigestion until / was in

that Paskola has worked wonders in my

of woman's love and faith and of
mans perlidity that is seldom
seen outside of story books. The
picture of the man she enclosed
and who, she said, was her lawful
husband and the father of her
children, was none other than the
timer, "Bro. Erwin, the devout.
The letter was not made public
right away, as the one who re-
ceived it did not care to mix up in
the affair, but concluded to send
for proofs to substantiate the let
ter. The proofs were not slow in
coming and were, substantially,
that Mr.. Erwin was married at
Sandwich, H., Oct. 6, 1887, and
is the father of two little girls
shown in the photos, aged 5 and
6 years, 1t was further learned
that Erwin was at Kirksville, Mo-,
last year, had forged another
church letter and was to have been
married within week to a young
lady there when his identity was
made known. AT last, things began
to warm up, and there were hints OF
tar and feathers. Erwin must have
got wind of the turn of affairs fol-
on Tuesday morning he was mis-
sing. He had gone in the night,
taking with him his valise ('twas
all he had) and leaving behind his
memory and $3.50 due on board
and room rent Comment on this
affair is unnecessary. Erwin be
haved himself while here and was i
man of good family as his bearing
would indicate. 1t is no doubt an
instance where marriage was a
failure, and the Illinois law makes
1t impossible to secure a divorce
under the circumstances. He liked
the ladies and his bondage made
him the more desperate. We are
not excusing him in the least,
simply trying to explain the cause
of his weakness. No man is per
feet, and if one is less perfect than
his fellows may it not be that he
has had greater temptations and
an organism less fitted to stand
them.-The Emmett County { Iowa)

An Open Letter,

To THE CITIZENS OF KIRKSTILLE:
Who of their small fortunes have
donated money, labor, brains, good
words and material-allow me to
thank you for your kind gift and
the appreciation which prompt it.
For the benefit and the rebuild
ing of your city was ii given, and
for that purpose has it been used.

vested in a commodious hotel
building, which is under the direc-
tion of my son, Harry M. Still.
Not dollar of the above has
been used upon the new building
which may be called the Temple OF
Anatomical Engineering. AS l
have unaided and alone developed
the science of Osteopathy, ! wish
the new building to be the result OF
my own work, and thus let nc
other individual have any claim
upon it whatever.
1t is expected the building will
be completed about the last of Oc-
tOber, 1894. The public will be
invited to Inspect it from base to
dome. AT that time, contrary tC
all established customs, an innova,
tion will be introduced and the
corner stone will be inserted when
the building is complete, with
ceremonies appropriate to the
Science for which it is built After
inserting the corner stone, further
exercises will be held in the lecture
hall, of which notice will be given
in due time. All friends of Oste-
opathy are cordially invited to be
present.
Yours in kindness and friendship,

Weather Crop Bulletin

The mean temperature for the
week ending Saturday, August is.
ranged from 5 to s degrees above
the normal in all sections of the
state; the Fer centage of sunshine
was also much above the average.
and although local showers occur
red in nearly all counties they
were, as rule very light and ex-
cept in a few localities the drouth
still continues. Late reports how
ever, indicate that good rains oc-
curre1 in some localities, in the
central section at least. on the
twentieth.
The condition of the corn crop
has, of course, suffered further
decline and in several counties corn
is being cut to save the fodder. In
Andrew, Harrison, Worth. Iron
and portions of Atchison county
correspondents state that there
will not be more than one fourth
of a crop. In portions of several
of the central and southern coun-
ties showers during the week i'm
proved corn considerably, and in
some of the southwestern and in
portions of few of the southeast
ern counties the prospects are still
favorable for more than an average
crop. In some sections late corn
is past help and will make little or
nothing, while in other, with sea-
sonable rains, the yield will be
fairly good.
In a few localities in the north
central and southeastern counties
where quite heavy showers have
occurred pastures are somewhat
improved, and in few of the
western counties they are still in
fair condition.
Potatoes are reported good
crop in a few counties but the
yield generally will be light.
The pickle crop in Clarke coun-
ty is reported very light.
Apples are still falling off badly
from the effect of the drouth and
scorching sunshine.
Correspondents in Bates, Holt,
Clinton, Clark and Saline counties
report good crop af grapes but
in a number of counties they have
been considerably injured by the
drouth.
Many correspondents report that
no plowing for wheat has been
done as yet the ground being too
dry.

declaring it to be the sense of the
Senate that no further tariff legiS-

to adjourn at the earliest possible
moment, and the free traders of the
House are accusing the democratic
steering committee of the Senate of
having buncoed them by making
promises concerning the passage of
the popgun tariff bill which the
adoption of this resolution makes
it impossible for them to carry out.
