Missouri for Sound Money.

Frederick Lehman, of st. Louis, SAYS
that it will surprise even the most san
guine to know the real strength of the
sound-money movement among the DEM
ocrats in Missouri. The idea. that the Pop
ulist party had a strong hold On the State,
he says, is erroneous. The Pdulistic idea
is not so deeply rooted as is supposed. He
thinks the National Democratic ticket will
receive a heavy support in the State.
What is your choice for the ticket?'
he was asked.
missouri will support the most availa-
BILE man fer the head of the ticket. We
have a candidate for the vice presidency
whom we hope will receive favorable con-
sideration. He is J.. o.. Brodhead, a man
who would add strength to any ticket on
which he might be placed"

hope to prevent the d~isintegration of the
party by the Populistic forces which are
dc 1ninating it at present"
Taylor Vincent, of Huntington. w. Va,
who was here Aug. I to attend the sound
money conference. has returned to witness
the convention. Meantime he has been
elected chairman of the State Sound-mon-
ey committee and insisted that others be
given an opportunity to lend assistance to
the movement. He says the movement is
assuming good sized proportions in his
State and the conditions are even more ia
time.

OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE.
Mrs. Elizabeth Sandlin Took Five
Cents Worth and Died.

Mrs. Elizabeth Sandlin. of 81 West
Georgia street. died yesterday from the
effects OF an overdose of morphine which
she took to relieve pain. Mrs. Sandlin has
been ill for several days, and has been
taking small quantities of morphine to free
her from the almost unbearable pain which
accompanied the illness. Yesterday she
went TO a drug store and purchased five
cents worth of morphine, which she took
at one dose. not suspecting the danger Of
such an action. She then went TO bed, tell
ing the attendant not to wake her at the
time to take her medicine. but setting the
alarm of a small clock that stands near
her bel. for 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The alarm did not waken her, but
nothing was thought of the matter until
her husband noticed the peculiar manner
of her breathing. All attempts at waking
her were without avail, and DIR. Mullen
was called in. but he was too late. After
working with her for some time, and using
all means in his power to save her life, the
woman died. The body was placed in the
hands of Collier IL Murphy, where the
coroner viewed the remains and accepted
the death certificate of DR.. Mullen.

BY n comparison of the markets OF
~ and 'o6 it will be seen that while
the farmer paid higher prices in 1872
for some of the articles he had to buy,
he got, in many cases, proportionately
higher prices for what he had to sell
Coffee is about the same price now,
but three times as much sugar can be
had for 81 IN 1896 as IN 1872. On
the other hand, the farmer got twice as
much for his corn and about four
times as muck for his wheat then as
now.
In the main, those were prosperous
times FOR the farmer, not only SO for
the farmer but for the country IN gen.
eral, as there was plenty of gold, sil-
yer and paper money in circulation.
The year 1872 was the year before
silver was demonetized, and since that
time the farmers profits have been grow
ing gradually less, in the aggregate, but
Wall street, the protected manufactur-
er and the millionaire have fourished
as a green bay tree.
The remedy is plain. Let every
voter do his duty as a patriot at
the polls in restoring bimetailism, and
the farmer will again be restored to the
right OF reaping legitimate profit on
the fruits of his toll.

we don't believe word of 1t:
\ good-looking well-to-do bachelor,

the young ladies of a club for not be-

There were nine members IN the club.
Each girl went ints L corner and used
great precaution in preparing her bal
lot and Disgusting the handwriting
The result of the vote was that there
were nine cast, each girl receiving one,
The young man remained bachelor,
the club is broken up and The girls are
all mortal enemies united In one de
termination that they uiH never speak

With its usual capacity for blundcr-
ing, the Charlton County R1pR6Lican
omitted the names OF three townships

If the Rlsa5Efa. would pay more
attention to correctly giving its party's
political news and the news of the
county in general, and devote less OF
its space to publishing lies on the
county court and the editor OF the
COURIER. it would have more of an ex-
cusc for its existence and would be
more cordially pa,roaized by It's few
readers, many of whom now unhesi-
tatingly denounoe 1t as not being worth

they are compelled to take the CoUR-
IER in order to get the county news,

with painful and serious accident on

Mizener had a shotgun with him and
was leaning against it with his left

badly lacerating his left side. The
wound, though painful and serious. ie

OF this number Judge Rucker has
already So, he having carried Charlton
with Il, Grundy with 6, Linn with 10

There are FIVE candidates, Judge
Rucker, Of Charlton; X. ~ Bodine, of
Monroe; DR.. n. NJ. Basket, of Ran
dolph; Scott J. Miller, OF Livingston,
and Ralph F. Lozier, of Carroll.
Counties which have candidates
will, of course, back their favorite
sons, but the fact that Judge Rucker
will be second choice in Carroll, Liv-
iugston and Randolph counties and
probably in Monroe county, also,
practically makes him a winner.
All of the gentlemen who are seek
ing the nomination are worthy scions
of Democracy. and would make the
district a faithful, able, clcan-handed
and clear-headed representative in
congress, but Charlton, by any rule OF
fairness, is entitled to the next con-

Disturbed His Mothers Peace

VIM. Ewing, COL, who lives with his
aged mother, 'sAunt Mandy" Ewing-
on Bridge street, just east of T. P
Woods livery stable, kicked up row
at the maternal cabin last Sunday and
threatened to shoot his nephew, Walter
Ewing, who was at his grand-mother's,
and went into the house to get gun
for the purpose of carrying out his
murderous threat.
"Aunt Mandy sent for Marshal
Embree and had her pugnacious Off
spring arrested on charge of disturb
ing the peace. The old negress al
leges that William has been making
himself very disagreeable about the
house for some time, and says that on
more than one occasion he has eX-
pressed fervent desire to brain her,
hence she concluded to have him
punished for his intolerabIe abuse of
his old mother.
On being arraigned in Mayor Gil
liam's court last Monday, William sub
mitted his case to his honor upon the
evidence offered, and was fined 81 and
trimmings, which he is now working
out on the streets.
The dusky defendant insists that an
effort is being made to "disfranchise :
him, but he hasn't yet decided what
he is going to do about it.

Probably the heaviest general rain
fall that ever occurred-in Missouri was
witnessed last Sunday night and early
Monday morning. In Keytesville,
Mr.. Hill says his fountain basin filed
six inches which indicates the depth o'
the rainfall.
a dispatch from Macon says the
gauges there showed almost an S-inch
rainfall.
A dispatch from Shelbina says:
Men who were out on Salt river, fish,
ing. report that that stream came up
six feet in so minutes II Is probable
that the destruction of crops on the
bottom lands will be very extensive" !"
A dispatch nom Hannibal says:

ming On the west side, small landslides
and MINOR washouts have occurred on
all roads entering here and trains are

COURIER in January, 1897, the pay
ment of all subscriptions will be in

by adopting this rule. the readers
of the COURIER viii pay for what they
get and sc; what they pay for, and no

Fourteen years experience IN the
field OF journalism has thoroughly con-
vinccd me that the average reader OF
country newspaper is, sometimes,

dyspepsia gets worse and his bile be-
comes turbulent when he is dunned.
OF course there are honorable cx-

visiis-few and far between.
Therefore the COURIER IS going out
OF the dunning business IN order that
its delinquent subscribers who get O:-
