that Miss Todd and Mr.. Lincoln were
betrothed many months before any

was the case till Lincoln was elected
to the presidency, his one special
rival In Illinois was Stephen A.
Douglas. Mr.. Douglas had more Of

being quite human, encouraged
Douglas, and again there was what
nowadays would have been called
Irritation. This course Of action
did not spur Lincoln ON In his dsvo-

he concluded, after much self worri.

DEPARTMENT, JEFFERSON CITY,
SEPT, 26, 1895.-In pursuance of
proclamation of his excellency the
governor of Kansas, issued at the
request of the governor of Texas, a
conference of western states has
been called to assemble at Topeka,
Kansas, on October 1, 1895, for the
purpose of securing united action
among the people of the western
states to ut lie the deep water OBJ
tanned on the Gulf of Mexico and
arrange the best plan for holding an
inter American exposition to display
what the western states can most
profitably produce and export.
Under the call of Governor Morrill,
the governor of each state, the
mayor of each city, president of
each chamber of commerce, board
OF trade or other commercial body
in each state lying west of the Mis-
sissippi river is ex -officio a delegate
to the convention, and each Of such
mayors is empowered to appoint a
delegate for each 10000 inhabitants
or fraction thereof Of his city. II
the mayor or president of the cham
ber of commerce, board of trade,
etc., is unable to attend, he is
authorized to appoint someone to
represent him at conference. In
view of the great i-- portance of the
meeting and great interest being
taken in it by leading business men
throughout the west, l feel justified
in this public way in urging upon
the mayors of cities and the presi-
dents Of the various commercial
bodies organized throughout the
state to attend the con 'erence or see
to it that their cities and boards are
properly represented.
"Inasmuch as the date for the
meeting is near at hand, prompt
action should be taken If delegates
are to be appointed. This is mat
ter of great interest to the manu-
featuring, mercantile and agricul'
tural interests of this state.

Pres6vtenian s. s. Picnic.

The annual Sunday School picnic
of the Presbyterian Church was
held on Wednesday, the oath inst,
at Dunlap Springs, the excellent
summer resort two and half miles
southeast of Bolivar, and was truly
delightful affair
The day was not altogether as
we would have had it, if we could
have arranged the weather program.
The morning was rather sultry and
the afternoon showery. Through
the Kindness and generous hOspi'
tality of Mrs. III. b. Paul, the
proprietress of the place, abundant
provisions were made to render the
occasion all that was anticipated,
Notwithstanding. With beautiful
grounds, furnished with rustic
seats, swings, hammocks, croquet
sets, ETC., for out door amusements;
with spacious halls and verandas for
rest and shelter from the occasion
al showers which fell so gently
and quietly as to seem intent on
marring the pleasures of the day
as little as possible; with the beau
tiful parlor furnished with piano,
violin and guitars, at the disposal
of those who delighted to revel in
the charms of music; with mineral
water, which is, unsurpassed both for
palatableness and medicinal proper
ties; with a dinner that would in eV-
cry important particular vie with the
most elegant White House reception
in the city of Washington, or the
most gorgeous banquet that wealth
could provide, and to crown all with
congenial crowd of people, who
seemed in all things to seek each 9th
ers pleasure and happiness-the
Presbyterian Sunday School picnic
of 1895 far surpassed,any of its pre-
decessors in everything which tends
10 make such an event charming
success. A vote of thanks was
unanimously rendered Mrs. Paul
for her kindness, which contPibu-
ted largely to the success of the
occasion, and which will be grateful
ly remembered by all who enjoyed
the same.
For those who anticipate a trip
to a summer resort, ! would say
that Dunlap Springs has natural
advantages, as we'll as accommoda.

brought his twelve-months-old child,

to me. 1t had been weaned at four
months old and had always been

when born, or perhaps ten pounds.

Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
DiarrhOea Remedy. Before one
bottle of the IS cent size had been
used, marked Improvement was
seen and it's continued use cured the
