or Than Ever Before.

Those Iowa democrats are made
Of the proper material. They break
down the idols of all that trust in
gold and build a glorious temple in
the cause of financial truth. The re-
pubIicans of Colorado are no less
clamorous for the annihilation of the
gold-b"g hosts. For they have
turned down such able men as VOL
colt, Howbert and all who were not
SO staunch in their faitl, as Senator
Teller. From every hill and valley
comes the swelling chorus of those
who hoiststhe standard of independ-
ent bi-metallism. All the talk about
a fifty cent dollar gets the laugh
when the people learn that Il. A.

According to the Pioneer Press the

The Heart In Cycling.

1t is to believe that bi-
cycle riding should be avoided in ev-
cry case of heart disease. Physi-
clans who have made a study of this
question declare that it may even be
very beneficial in certain instances
in which the action Of the heart is
feeble and in which signs of fatty
degeneration are found. Increased
muscular exercise almost invariably
improves the conditions of the heart
itself. There are, however, several
indulgences that persons with weak
hearts should beware of, such as
straining to climb hills and meeting
head winds, excessive fatigue and
particularly exciting the heart and
calling upon its reserve strength by
the use of alcoholic stimulants and
improper food. Hartford Times.

The Ladies Industrial Society, of the
First M. E. Church, held a meeting at
the residence of Mrs. w. L. Corner in
memory of Mrs. w. 81. Norris.
The meeting was opened by reading

her funeral was preached, The read
ing was followed by an eloquent
prayer by the pastor, Rev. j. FL. Cox.
After the business of the society was
attended to a very touching letter was
read from her daughter, Celia, to the
relatives of the deceased, containing
an account of her death and burial,
also a selection of poetry suited to the
occasion, and several of the ladies
present who had long known and
loved her expressed their high appre-
citation of her Christian character.
Then the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Our dear sister, Mrs. W.
Fl. Norris, member of the First NJ. e.
Church of Mexico, and of our Indus
trial Society, has been called to her
reward, therefore, be it

That while we bow in humble sub
mission before God, we can but mourn
that we are to meet with her no more
on earth. To her bereaved husband
and daughters and other relatives We
extend our heartfelt sympathy.
Resolued, That these resolutions be
spread upon our minutes and a copy
be sent to members of her family, al

DON'T FEEL RIGHT.

Whenever the liver becomes disor-

ances in the general health. The vic
tim of a torpid liver will feel bilious,
drawsy, tired, Respondent, irritable,
and If the trouble is allowed to re-
main 1t will extend it's influence until
it lays him on his back for a sick spell

A MAGNIFICENT STOCK.
j. and =. Barth Are Showing the
Largest and Most Carefully Sc
lected Stock of Clothing
and Furnishing Goods
Ever Seen Here.

With the coming of the last days of
fall and the first of winter, when straw
hats and seersucker coats look as cold
as ice cream and men hover around
fires, come the thoughts of what we
will wear when the real days of win
ter come. 1t is not only a question of
warmth and comfort, but also one of
looks and style, for people are grad
ually beginning to realize that it is
just as cheap to dress styllshly as
otherwise.
And that thought is followed by the
one of where these things can be
bought to the best advantage. II the
thinker is in Mexico or surrounding
counties but n answer comes and
that is sat J. & v. Barth's.n This firm,
one of the oldes. and most reliable
as well as me of the largest In this
part of the State, is fully prepared to
supply the demand for winter cloth
ing and furnishing goods for men,
youths, boys and children. Their
stock is complete in every detail and
their experienced buyers, who spend
several weeks each season in the
East, have outdone themselves this
year in obtaining the cream of the
Eastern markets.
The clothing department of this
firm is replete with all the latest nov
elites made up in the most approved
fashion, as well Al staples, and they
are showing some extremely hobby
fall and winter suits in fashionable
Scotch goods and worsteds at prices
that cannot be thought OF by their
competitors. Their stock of over-
coats is also as complete as possible
and the prices r as low as Che lowest.
1t is also in furnishing goods that
this store stands head and shoulders
above any other in this city. To de-
scribe their fashionable novelties in
shirts, collars, ties, handkerchiefs, hats
and gloves would REQUIRE more space
than a be spared. All that a be
said is that the man who wants a VIM
ter outfit of any kind had better see
| Barth before gong elsewhere.

PEOPLES PARTY CANDIDATE
o. D. Jones, Candidate for Governor.
Addressed q Large Crowd Last
Night Followed by q Col
ored Democrat, Henry
Marshall, of Kansas.

O.. d. Jones, of Edna, NO., candi-
date for Governor of Missouri on the
Peoples party ticket, addressed q
large crowd at the Court House Mon
day. Notwithstanding the inclem-
ency of the weather, the Circuit
Court room was well flied when the
speaker began and when he finished
it was crowded and many persons
were standing in the ear part of the
room. The audience was composed
mainly of Democrats and Populists,
there being a few Republicans pres
emit.
The speaker was introduced by r.
81. Cauthorn and spoke for two hours.
His speech was in the main an ar
raignment of the Republican party
for the financial plank In their plat
form. He traced the standing of the
two metals-silver and gold-from the
earliest times and cited the great in
cidents in the history of the two. He
dwelta at length on the effect of a gold
standard in England and his many
quotations from standard writers and
historians showed that he was thor
oughIy conversant with bis subject.
When he mentioned Bryan's name
the audience cheered wildly and when
he pleaded for Bryan's election, and
not only for that, but for the election
of Congressman who favored the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, the old
court room rescunded with applause
and cheers which lasted for some
time. He denounced Cleveland, and
! John Sherman in strong words and
said that the latter was the cause Of
all the trouble now going on over the
financial question. Taken as q whole,
his speech was a mastery one, and he
wassvery often interrupted by v0cif-
erous applause and cheers.
When he closed, e. E. Jones aross
and said that there was a colore6
Democrat present who would make
a speech and that any who wished to
leave might do SO. Not a person left,
and Clay Taylor introduced the col
ored speaker in a short speech, which
brought forth round after round Of
applause and laughter.
The colored speaker was Henry
Marshall, at Arkansas City, Kas., and
his speech was q good one. He made
a strong plea for free silver and Bryan
and his speech was well received.
