Warnock-B Burroughs.


Miss Maude Burroughs, daughter of
Judge B. R. Burroughs, of Edwards
vile, ILL.,, and a niece of d. S. Bur-
roughs, one of Audrain County's most
substantial citizens, was married to
Master-in- Chancery Wilbur M. War
mock at the handsome residence of
the BRIDES parents in Edwardsville
last week. The E~dwardsville Intel
~liqencer contains a column article Civ
ing a description of the wedding and
speaks of the high contracting parties
in the most complimentary terms. We
quote the closing sentence of the arti-
Gle:
"The bride is the eldest daughter OF
Judge and Mrs. B. r. Burroughs, a
gracious and accomplished young lady.
She is a leader in society circles, and
is highly esteemed by all. The groom
is a we'll known lawyer, a member OF
the firm of Travous & Warnock, and
stands we'll in the front of the profess
sion. He studied law under Judge
Burroughs, was associated with him
in the practice and vas afterwards
appointed master-in-chancery and il
now filling his fourth term. He &C.
cupies a prominent position in bust
ness and social affairs. The legion OF
friends of the happy couple join in
wishing them an abundance of success
and happiness"

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many tunes women call on their
family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, M from dyspepsia, another
from heart disease, another from
liver or kidney disease, another from
nervous exhaustion or prostration,
another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all
present alike to themselves and their
easy-going and Indifferent, or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct dis
eases, for which he ~prescribes his pills
and potions, assuming them to be
such, when, in reality, they are ali
only symptoms caused by some womb
disease. The physician ignorant OF
the aus of suffering, encourages his
practice until large bills are made.
The suffering patient gets no better,
but probably worse, by reason of the
delay, wrong treatment and conse-
quent complications. A proper med
icine, like DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, directed to the cause would
have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and ~instituting comfort in
stead Of prolonged misery.

MRS. CHINA RoTHwELL DEAD.
She Passed Away at Her Home in This

ed by Her Chlldren-A
Sketch of Her
Life.

Another noble Christian woman has
gone to her reward.
Mrs. China Rothwell, aged SO years,
10 months and 16 days, breathed her
last at her home on Promenade street
in this city at 1:15 Tuesday afternoon.
Surrounded by her children and un-
conscious to the last her soul passed
peacefully into that other world, from
which no one aver returns, to there
enjoy the reward of a long life well
spent.
Mrs. Rothwell suffered a stroke of
paralysis at 2 o'clock Sunday morning
and from that hour, up to the time
she died, sank rapidly, being uncon-
scious most of the time. Her entire
right side was paralyzed and medical
aid was of no avail. Up to the day be-
fore she was stricken she was as &C.
tive as any woman half her age and
only few weeks ago she attended a
reunion of her children and grand
children in Galloway county.
The funeral took place from
Cedar Greek Church in Galloway
County, of which the deceased had
been a member for SO years, at II
O'Clock Thursday morning, and the
services were conducted by Rev. W.
E. Stephens, of st. Louis.
China Renfro was born in Garrard
County, KY, on the 14th day of Au-
gust, 1909, and lived in that State I'M
til 1881.
On April 8, 1928, she married DIR.
John Rothwell, of Virginia, who died
nearly % years, ago. On moving to
Missouri in October, 1881, DR.. and Mrs.
Rothwell settled in Galloway County
and after DIR. Rothwell's death, until
about eight years ago, Mrs. Rothwell
resided in that county. Since that
time she has kept house in this city.
She was a lifelong member of the
Old School Baptist church, having
been baptized by that eminent divine,
Ed. T. P. Stephens, of North Carolina,
and was the highest type of a noble
Christian woman.
She had six children, three boys and
three girls, all OF whom are now living
except one. The living ones are Mary
A. Gibbs, of this city, w. R. Rothwell,
of Liberty, Mo-, DR.. T. P. Rothwell, of
this city, Mrs. Sallie G. Rothwel, of

well and r. @. Gibbs.
To the sorrowing children and fam
lily the LEDGER joins the entire COM

Interesting Case.

~
A case of much interest was decided
In the Audrain Circuit court last week.
1t was the case of Burnham district vs..
Lawson district for an acquisition OF
territory which was voted upon at the
annual school meetings, Lawson DIS
trict being against and Burnham dis
trict for the proposition. In order to
settle the dispute arising over the re-
suit of the school election, the matter
was referred to the school commits
sioner of Audrain, who rendered a
decision in favor of detaehing the dis
puted territory from Lawson and add
ing it to Burnham district. This de-
cision being very unsatisfactory the
matter was brought before the Au-
drain Circuit Court, when the decision
was declared null and void, on the
grounds of Irregularities in the Burn
ham petition.

Against a New District.

The Ease in regard to the new school
district matter which has been pend
ing, was decided against the new dis
trict, as two violations of law were
proven by the opposition.
The incident was this: The County
COMMISSIONS had formed new school
district, and in order to do this had
taken territory from the districts of
Walker, Laddonia, Cauthorn and Nc
Clintic. OF course this caused opposi-
ton in those which had lost this land,
and their attorney, George Robertson,
proved that in this formation there
were two direct violations of law-the
first, that land cannot be detached
from a village district to form any
other district, and the second, that tn,
| Commissioner shall establish a dis
trict according to the boundaries giver
in notice.
w. W. Fry and w. III. KEENAN, were
the lawyers for the defense.

cocKRELL LAUGHS AT WHITNEY.
Says That the New Yorker's Compro-

tanned.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June Ex-senator
Cockrell, of Missouri, was among to-
days arrivals. He is delegate to the
National Democratic Convention, and
is here for the purpose OF attending
the Democratic silver conference.
"We shall nominate a straight silver
man on an unequivocal silver declara-
ration in the PLATFORM" he said, when
asked for an expression of bis views.
81 am, of course, for Mi. Bland, End
our delegations are instructed for him,
but il we cannot get him we shall get
some other nan who Is sound on the
currency question, and Missouri viii
support him at the polls. MIR. Bland
is a safe, practical man, and il elected
would be entirely reliable as q Presi-
dent. There can be no doubts on that
score. ] have not, however, devoted
myself SO much to finding presiden-
tial material as ! have to make u of
a silver majority in the convection.
That assured, we shall have but little
difficulty in finding an available man
for President"
The Senator, thinks that the imam
cial question will be made the para
mount issue In the platform, and that
there viii be a square declaration for
the mintage OF silver on terms OF
equality with gold at the ratio Of is TO
1, and without awaiting the co.opera-
ton OF other nations. He laughs at
MIR. Whitney's suggestion OF a COM
promise, and says that 1t will not be
entertained.
He does not believe that an un-
equivocal silver plank will drive many
Eastern men out OF the party, and
argues that, on the contrary, 1t will
bring many votes to the party that
cannot be secured in any other way.
"We shall gain immensely In the
West" he said, sand we shall not loss
in the East. The people have not yet
come to a full realization of the
strength OF the silver movement. II
will sweep the country ut the polls a.
1t has swept the Democratic party at
the primaries"
Senator Cockrell does not consider
that there is any danger of q bolt by
the New York or other Eastern dele
gates.
