On Ton of the Ozarks.

A move OF TWO anu HICy
miles by rail is no small matter these
hard times, Why IT was necessary,
of course, no human mind can under
stand. The Methodist itineracy is a
most wonderful thing, and when wisely
and Justly administered, the most
effective system of giving the gospel to
the people ever devised.
From HigginsviIle to Springfield,
via Kansas City, one travels through
some of the finest parts Of Missouri
and Kansas. The scenery along the
x. c.. Ft. S. d NJ, through the border
counties of Kansas to TT, SCOTT. and
then southeast through Missouri to the
summit of the Ozarks, is simply grand.
Broad prairies, dotted with white farm
houses and red barns, green orchards
and red apples, and then the mountain
brakes, immense cliffs OF rnpk, and
limpid streams of clear, sparkling
water, gives one a variety that is
charming.
The autumnal gray is upon the
forest in these parts; persimmons are
ripe, and the small and large farmers
are gathering the products of the
rocky SOIL. The corn crop is short
vegetables of all sorts are scarce and
high; irish potatoes fifty cents a
bushel, and others in proportion. A
drouth in midsummer caused this.
Times here, as everywhere else, are
hard; many people idle. Politics is
all the talk. Everybody has q remedy
tor the financial depression. Some say
free silver will bring relief. Others,
perhaps as wise-maybe wlser-think
our financial system has nothing to do
with it. Time, patience and endurance
will bring relief. Some of us think
nothing else will.
Campbell Street Church, of which
am pastor, gave us q cordial reception.
| have q large congregation of good
people, many of them old and tried
friends. They filed our larder with
good things to eat, and say we shall
not lack. God has given us n soul,
and we have much encouragement in
the work.
Twenty-eno years ago we came to
this city from dear old Lexington, and
spent four of the most pleasant and
prosperous years of life. Many old
friends have received us with open
arms and hospitable homes; not Il few
have been thrown open to entertain us.
Ministers have many delightful exper-
iepees as well as some h~ardships in
lie. The blessed Chrigt is true to his
promise-"Lo, ! am with you always"
The city has grown in twenty years
from about six to- thirty thousand
people. The CHURCHES are all strong,
and quite IL number of them have noble
and strong men IN their pulpits.
Col. Rathbun, with his delightful
family Gall Lexington people remember
him) are still here. His bright daugh-
ter was among the first to gall at our
new home. While we will neVer for
gel the many kindnesses shown us by
Lexington people, we feel quite at
home among the kind old friends OF
Springfield 1Hos. M. CoBB.

D. Crawford & Co., the st. Louis
dry goods firm, will make no more
friends among the better element of
the republican party than among the
democrats. Decent men of all parties
condemn such action as Crawford
took. The firm, with one blow, read
itself out of the respect of all decent
people.

Mr.. Wilson stuck the keynote when
he said the populists would indirectly
aid the gold standard by not voting for
Mr.. Cowherd. Mr.. Wilson has never
been a politician, but his political phil
osophy in this matter takes a higher
rank than that which ordinarily
actuates politicians.

The people recognize and appreciate
real merit. That is why Hoods Sarsa-

Merit in medicine means the power to

true blood purifier. Its superior merit is
an established fact, and merit wins.

Under this vignettc you will find the
names of the candidates for whom you
will vote if you desire to continue your
support of the principles and policies
of the Republican party.
After the history and experiences of
the past four years we take it that
there are not many Republicans who
will not continue that support.
Four years ago the country was en-
joying an unprecedented degree of
business and industrial prosperity.
More men were at work in factories
and at better wages than In any pre-
vious year. Our exports of agricul-
tural, as we'll as of other products,
were the largest in the history of the
country, and good prices were obtain
able for almost every product of the
farm and of the factory
The delusive promise was made of
still better times if we would abandon
the old Republican policy of protec-
ton and adopt the Democratic policy
of free trade. We made the expert
ment to our sorrow and have had a
long period of business depression as
result.
The same men who were then advo.
eating free trade and prosperity are
now promising prosperity if we will
adopt their free silver notions. They
were all wrong four years ago. They
are no nearer right now.
Notwithstanding the confused and
uncertain conditions that prevailed
early in the campaign there is every
indication now of sweeping Repub-
lican victory. ALI that is necessary to
make sure of this is to get out the full
Republican vote.
At the polls on election day stamp or
mark an (x) under the Republican
vignette, and then pass your ticket
to the election inspector. If you want
to vote the straight Republican ticket
this is all you need to do, so far as
your own vote is concerned. Having
done this early in the day see that
your Republican neighbors vote and
thus have your share of the triu mph of
