MAxIMs FOR ADVERTISERS.

A good advertisement always brings
in more than it takes out.
An advertisements doesn't knock off
when the store is closed.
Persistent advertising is the corner-
stone of success.
No advertisements are bad, but
some advertisements are better than
others.
When a wise woman has money to
spend she consults the advertising
columns of the newspapers and after
wards c%onsults her husband.
Advertising is a plaster which mer-
chants put on the world to draw bus
mess out of it.
Advertisements are like birds-it
isn't always those that have the finest
feathers that are the best singers.
An advertisement is the only per-
petual motion yet discovered.
A lazy business man needs never
expect to get any rest by advertising
for it.
Advertising is the best fertilizer for
the soil of business.

Silver Leaders Are in Washington and
Headquarters Has Been Estab-
lished There.

WASH NGToN, Feb. 12.-Seyeral of
the leaders of the silver party, includ-
ing William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, and
j.. J. Mott, of North Carolina, have ar
rived within the past few days. Gen.
A. +. Warner, OF Ohio, the nominal
head of the American silver organiza-
ton, as it is officially known, is ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow, when ac-
tive work will at once begin for the
organization of a new party in every
ticipate a refusal on the part of both
the Republican and Democratic con-
ventions to adopt a free coinage plank
and confidently expect Immediately
thereafter large ~accessions to the
ranks of the new party throughout
the West and South.
DIR. Mott, who is chairman of the
National Committee, has chosen Of
fees in the Sun building here, where
the Bimetallic Union, n kindred insti-
tuition, is located. The Bimetallic In
ion is having 100000 copies of the
resolutions adopted by the silver con-
ference printed for general circula-
ton, and expects within the next few
months to ship from SOC, 600 to ,00O, 900
to free coinage organizations in differ
ent states.
1t is stated that the silver leaders
have lately been actively organizing
throughout the country and that in
some of the states preparations are
already made to bring out an electoral
ticket in anticipation OF the action of
the National Convention, which it is
believed will be called after the Chi
cago convention. The leaders of both
the silver organizations observe very
great reticence as to their work and
plans.
They declare confidently that no
candidate nominated on the single
standard platform can secure a MAORI
ty in the Electoral College and the
election will certainly be thrown into
the House, where each state will cast
one vote for the President of the
United States in accordance with a
majority vote of the delegates. They
intimate that should what they term
''tbe cause of silver'' be not fully
recognized by either of the two big
conventions, the efforts of the new
silver party will be directed to bring
ing about a choice of Mr.. Cleveland's
successor by a vote OF the states in

st. Louis Meets the Republican Hall
Committees Objections With
Generous Offer.

ST. LOUIS, February 1.-THE COM
mittee on hall accommodations for the
Republican National convention met
this morning, General Powell Clayton,
of Arkansas, Henry B. Payne, by Jno.
M. Ewing, of Wisconsin, proxy, and
r. G. Kerens, of St.Louis, being pres
emit. After comforting with the local
committee and their architect, Isaac
s. Taylor, and the consulting archi-
tect of the national committee, d.
Adler, of Chicago, and carefully ex-
aiming plans and proposition, decid-
ed that while the Exposition building
was one of the best of its kind in the
United States, 1t was not 30 construct
ed as to afford the best facilities for
the accommodation of the convention
and the seating of 1000 people, and
that a wigwam was not desirable. The
local committee then generously ae-
coded to the wishes of the hall com
mittee and agreed to erect a conven-
ton auditorium, especially designed
in all its appointments to fully meet
the requirements of the convention,
and to seat not less than Il, 900 persons.
The location of the convention audi
torium is to be left to the local COM
mittee of st. Louis, subject to the ap-
prevail of the hall committee.

How to Treat a Wife.

First, get wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
piexities in your business, but do not
therefore, carry to your home a cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less
magnitude, may be hard for her to
bear. A kind word, a tender look,
will do wonders in chasing from her
brow all clouds of gloom. To this we
would add always keep a bottle OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the

be needed sooner or later. Your wife
will then know that you really care
for her and wish to protect her health.

At the door of every newspaper
office might be posted the general Or
der-Rush!
The busiest concerns in the busiest
streets are sluggards compared with
these newsgathering hives where hui
man fingers and brains r matched
to keep up with machinery.
The brunt of this fatiguing mental
strain, unavoidable in getting out one
of the big city dailies, for example,
the Chicago Evening Journal, falls on
its business manager-in the case of
this oldest daily in Illinois, Colonel
Frederick G. Pierce.
Colonel Pierce is one of the bust
ness men in Chicago, a city of early
and late workers. Brain workers in
every profession will thank Colonel
Pierce for the following statement re-
Gently made by him:
"For several years l have been
troubled with sick headache, caused
by constipation; otherwise l have
been in perfect health, and never sick
but for two weeks in my life. This
sick headache has been very annoying.

Opposed to An Early Primary

SRpo0Oo W AN 4loAkJ 4A&A4A
A "Voter" in the Montgomery City
Standard, opposing an early primary,
among other things, says:
Will the Democratic party of this
county learn wisdom from its past ex-
periences?
Aside from the alleged causes thai
led to the Democratic defeat in this
county two years ago, there r other
potent objections, it seems to me, fol-
holding an early primary this year.
First, the presidential convention
does not meet until July 18th, unusual
ly late indeed. That convention will
formulate the platform of principles
for the party, and upon which they
will go before the people of the United
States asking a majority of thei,
votes. All eyes are now turned to-
ward the action of that convention,
to determine whether it is still worthy
of their confidence and support.
Secondly, The convention to nomi-
nate a State ticket will doubtless be
nominated after the presidential
ticket and it too will promulgate its
platform of principles for the admin
istration of our State affairs. If this
be the order that is taken, it will sus-
pend the holding of the State Con-
vention until the last of July or Au-
gust.
A Congressman is also to be nomi-
mated, and in the meantime the work
of organization is to be prosecuted.
So would it not be in the natural or
der of things for the county nomina-
tons to be made after the more i'm
portant tickets and platforms are
made? 1t seems to me that any other
course would appear like a vain at
tempt of a boy trying to fly his kite
with the tail only.
Success of the party, national, state,
county and municipal, depends upon
the wisdom of its purposes, the pru-
dence of it's action, and the devotion
Of its adherents, and without which
defeat only awaits it.

goes to the seat of the trouble. That
great nerve and brain restorer, Paine's
celery compound, does get rid of them
and leaves no chance for their return,
because the deep-seated cause.-the
weakened nervous system at last is
supplied with the food it has so sadly
felt the need of.
The best physicians in every city in
this country prescribe Paine's celery
compound, where a rapid building up
of the system is imperative. AS an
invigorator in of v ex-
haustion, sleeplessness and a poor
state of blood it is the mainstay OF
the ablest practitioners throughout the
United States.
A mere glance at the faces of weak,
nervous, run down persons after they
have begun to use this greatest of all
remedies, shows how rapid is the
nourishing effect ofPaine's celery com
pound.
There are thousands upon thousands
well to-day because they used Paine's
celery compound.

The Manllness of Labor.

cTuLH Lue SL. JOseph Ddly News
George D. Pratt, son of the late
Standard Oil multimillionaire of
Brooklyn, graduated with honors at
Amherst in 1898. He spent the next
year in foreign travel and has now
taken off his coat and gone to work.
He has chosen for his vocation that of
mechanical railroad engineering, and
in blue ovoralis began shoveling coal
on a locomotive. He began at the
bottom, where even the best educat-
ed must begin. He has learned how
to run an engine and has lately been
in charge of a freight train. Here is
an example that it is to be hoped will
have its influence upon others who
are not so wealthy nor so fortunate in
educational advantages as is young
Pratt.
The dignity and m%anliness of work
is a doctrine that needs to be more
thoroughly inculcated in the rising
generation. There is too often the
idea that hard work with the hands
is fit only for the lowest order of men
and it is rue that in a certain and
very large class in any community
the young man who undertakes to
labor with his hands loses caste. The
result is that the young men are seek
ing clerkships and effeminate jobs,
and leaving unsought the more manly
work of the mechanic. AS a matter
of fact, 1.-The young nan at the machine
lathe, or in the cab of a locomotive,
in his overalls, and, it may be said,
with dirty hands, is a thousand times
more manly in his employment than
the sweet-scented spider-leggedyoung
fellow with his we'll oiled locks parted
in the middle, who stands at the rib
bon counter at the dry goods store!
There is no place where brains are
more needed to-day than in the me-
chanic arts. There are a thousand in
ventions and improvements awaiting
the trained thinker, the man of brains
who is not afraid of soiling his hands.
We hope that the young women will
more and more drive young men out
of the retail shops, the office and light
employments and that the manly
young fellows will be compelled to
get down to suitable manly work or
lean upon their sisters to support
them.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec

diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in

tors pronounced it a local disease, and

stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a con-

The Mistake of an Assassin.

grave mistake in its attempt to assas-
sinate James NJ. Seibert. The people

Gratis of Missouri are neither fools nor

selves to be both should they desert

From the Vandalia (Mo.) Leader.
VANDALIA, Mo-, Feb. Ill kept an
account of feed consumed and the
milk produced from ten cows during

old and two COWS had been giving
milk about eight months and are due
to calve in April next. They are a

have had a curiosity to know what
it costs to produce 100 pounds of milk
and made the trial with the above re-
suit. I would like to make a trial dur

corn and cob meal mixed with oil
meal, and will if 1 can get crusher to
mash my corn, and will report the re-
suit of the test in the Leader.
During the trial in January 1 gave
the cows all the corn with shuck ON
they would eat up clean morning
and night with oil meal mixed with
bran and all the corn fodder they
would eat during the day. After
milking them at night we fed 5 pounds
of COW pea hay to each cow with the
above result.

experiment with feed in its rough
state. will leave that for the read
ers of the Leader to do. During the
test l had n COW which gave 1888
