The above was caught in the mail. last
night. At first sight 1t would seem that
it might have come from c. H. Nelson.

have misplaced his own initials, the .Jonr.

Nelson denied emphatically any knowledge
OF the authorship of the note, but said the
reporter had better follow the advice con

The article was not intended to refer To
any Watcrville horseman, and we have vet
to learn that there is any ground for
suspicion to be directed against any Water

Watcrville horsemen may feel at ease in
their consciences.
Reference was made to "a firm of horse
jockeys. We know of none such here in
Waterville.
Our Information leading to the article.
was given the journal by an ex high Off

not this papers privilege to publish at this

service OF the living God. The leading
sermon was delivered by the Rev.

the old church and where he himself
had served for many years. Three

interspread with vocal and instru-

Railway Men and silver.

Free coinage of silver threatens a
graver danger to men who work for
railroads than to any other body of
our citizens. The railways of the
United States have bonded indebt-
edness of over 5000. 900, 900. The
principal and interest of this enormous
debt must be paid in gold. Under
free coinage. all the receipts of our
railways would be in silver money,
because every man would pay for his
passenger ticket or for the transpCrta-
ton of his freight in silver.
Now. the railways can not increase
their rates. because they are fixed by
law. Even, therefore, should the
transportation business of our rail-
WAYS not diminish. their receipts
would not be enlarged: but whereas
every dollar that is now paid to the
railway will discharge one dollar of
its gold obligotion, under free coinage
of silver it would take two silver dol
lars to purchase one gold dollar with
which to discharge one dollar of gold
Indebtedness. Since the herailways could
not increase their earnings. it would
take twice as much of their receipts as
it now takes to pay their gold obliga-
tions.
Where would this money from, since
| il could not come out of increased re-
ceipts: It would have to come out of
decreased expenditures, would it not:
Now. the heaviest item of expenditure
that a railway has is wages When Il
railroad sets out 20 reduce expenses it
can not make much progress in this
direction unless it takes its heaviest
outlay, which is the payment of wages,
and cuts that down sharply. When
railways are Neutrality-suspicious. and
cutting down the wages of these men
who are not discharged in order to:be
able to buy enough gold at a premium
of 100 per cent to pay their gold Obli-
cations. what will become of the rail
way employees: How will those who
have been discharged and thrown on
the labor market get any of the Won
derful benefits which Mr.. Bryan prom
i>es tree coinage will bestOw on us?
How will those men who are retained
in their situations enjoy getting, in
stead OF the dollar which they now re-
ceive. a dollar which will buy only
half what our present dollar will buy?

Republican County Ticket.

The Republicans of Cape Girardeau
county met at Jackson last Saturday
and nominated a county ticket. There
was great scramble for the offices.
he fight had been hot contest. The
candidates for the different offices had
worked hard for the nomination to the
Office for which they aspired. All
kinds of manipulating for advantage
was rcsorted to. Men and boys who
never before attended convention
were worked in by the candidates as
delegates and when the convention as
sembled they were at sea as to fair
division of the offices. Many of the
delegates were men and boys who know
nothing about politics. They were
made delegates to vote for this or that
friend who managed the township
meetings and they went to the conven-
tion to carry out Instructions. They
knew nothing about policy. They
We're there to vote for their friends re-
gardless of location orpolicy and they
did what they went there for. They
nominated Republican ticket. The
ticket is made up of fairly good men
and We believe il will be elected. 1t is
not however strong ticket. 1t is not
strong because a fair division geog-
ora aphically was not made. But 1t will
be elected because the opposition
ticket is the weakest ticket ever NOM
mated in the county.
The DEMOCRAT could have named a
stronger ticket. but the DEMOCRAT is

A MISPLACED HEART.
Louis Meyer Wears His Blood Pump
on the Right ::Sfde.

When Louis Meyer applied at the
North Side Dispensary Monday for
relief DR.. A. c. Leggat, the physician
in charge, thought he had an ordinary
patient to deal with. Before he finish
ed his examination he made discOv-
cries that set him thinking.
Meyer is German. - years old and
works around Flying Dutchman
at Seff's Grove. Monday Meyer
drank more than he could carry and he
fell receiving sundry scratches and
bruises. He was forwarded to the
DSspensary.
DR.. Leggat patched him up and in
doing so barred his right breast He
detected an unusual and enormous de-
='elOpment of the msmmary gland on
the right side. He concluded 70 push
his investigations further He at
tempted to ascertain the condition Oi
the mans heart. but could not locate
it in the left side where that important
organ usually performs its functions.
Then the doctor went over on the
right side and there the heart was
found performing its duties in an en-
tirely satisfactory manner.
DR.. Leggat had heard of eases
where the heart was displaced because
of pleurisy or some disease of the
lungs but had never actually seen a
case. He placed Meyer in various
positions, but the heart remained sta.
tionary and active. He made care
ful examination OF the lungs and other
organs bat found them all normal.
while the heart performed its work as
usual aboEt it.
The physician was puzzled and ques-
toned AIeYer closely. He said ever
since he could remember his heart
had been in its .present position and
had never given him any trouble or
concern. He had never had any
accident that would cause change in
the position Of his heart. and he had
never had any trouble Of the lungs or
any other sickness.

SILVER Men Then Wanted Goid

the dropping of the obsolete silver

by everybody taking IN interest in

course, just as much sc as IL law would
h2ve been providing that the old flint
