SOME COMPARATIVE FIGURES.
Two Years Ago Twenty-Fo Usually
Safe Counties in Missouri We're
Carried by the Republicans.
Broom thc st Louls Rennhllc

From the st Louis Republic.
There are 25 counties in this State
that prior to 1894 were always consid-
cred as reliably Democratic. Twenty
four of these sem Republicans to the
Lower House of the Legislature that
year, and one, Buchanan, sent two.
This explains how the Republicans
happened to have control OF the Low
er House in 1895. The story is q sad
n of Democratic Indifference. These
counties are as follows:
Atchison, B~ollinger, Buchanan, But
Ter, Carter, Clark, Cooper, Daviess,
Howell, Iron, Jefferson, johnson, Nc
Donald, Montgomery, Morgan, Noda-
way, Pettis, Phelps, st. Clair, Schuy-
Ter, Texas, Washington, Wayne, Worth.
In 1892 Cleveland carried Atchison
County by 81 votes; Bollinger, 1893;
Buchanan, l,427; Butler, ISL; Carter,
$40; Clark, 1873; Cooper, 262; Daviess,
1888; Howell, 1853; Iron, 3l2; jefferson,
4l0; Johnson, 442; Mcdonald, 191;
Montgomery, 25l; Morgan, 55; Noda-
way, s5; Pettis, 70; Phelps, 4o4; st.
Clair, 60; Schuyler, 2e7; Texas 5s4;
Washington, OF; Wayne,42e; Worth ,72.
As a result of Democratic voters re-
naming away from the polls In 1894,
Republican candidates for tho Legis-
lature were elected in all these coun-
ties by either p~luralities or majorities,
as indicated: Atchison, 2i6; Bollinger,
IS; Buchanan, First District, 345; Blu
chanan, Second District, So; Butler,
1853; Carter, IS; Clark, 113; Cooper,73;
Daviess, 40; Howell 316; Iron, A; JEFF
f~erson, DOL; johnson, 10; Mcdonald,
30; Montgomery, 200; Morgan, 40l;
Eodaway, 1876; Phelps, 40; st. Clair,
12s; Schuyler, 3i3; Texas, 414; WASH
ington, 1863; Wayne, 1874; Worth, 10I.
In Kansas City the Democrats elect
ed only one out OF Ave members OF
the House, but in st. Louis they did
better and secured z out Of Is, which
was quite a political windfall in COM
parison with the rest of the State.

The Mexico Fair, which was in pro-

There were many attractions and new
and novel features. The racing stock
was above the average, while the
saddle rings were the finest eve ex-
hibited. The fair is pronunced a sue
cess, and the weather was delightful.
Bob Whites baby show, as usual, was
the great sensation and was one of
the most interesting features.
A great number of the disorders to
which mankind are liable arise from q
disordered condition of the liver.
Keep the liver sound and active and
you can defy disease. PRIcKLEY ASH
BrTTERs is not only a successful kid
ney remedy, but a thorough liver reg
ulator and bowel purifier. By cleans
ing and strengthening these organs
it enables the body to resist the IN
fiuences that produce disease. AS a
