Electric bitters.

Electric Brtters is medicine
suited for any season but perhaps
more generally needed, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of tonic and slsera
tive is felt A prompt use OF this
medicine has often sverted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely In
counterscting and freeing the sys'
TEN from the malarial poison. Head
ache. indigestion, constipation. diz.
illness yield to Electric Bitters. SOC

Pleased With the Kansas City Times

Mexico, Mo, May 13.-Chairman
Cook of the state democratic central
committee compliments the Kansas
City Times for the able way it shows
up Mckinleyism. He says: Every
American citizen who builds house
or in any way uses keg of nails
pays enormous tribute to the Amer
ican Nail trust. Without the slight.
est increase iu the wages of en-
ployees manufacturers advanced the
price of nails during the past year
over 200 per cent. The profits oi
trust in spite Of the depressed con
dition of the country, were nearly &c
per cent last year, and are expected
to reach so per cent this year. No
wonder the manufacturers can make
munificsnt contributions to the Nc
Kinlsy campaign fund"

A Tuscola county paper tells the
following story, and vouches for its
truthfulness: Before the Stewart
takes up the collection" said the
preacher the other night, Il would
like to make few remarks. There
are over 200 persons In the house,
counting sinners and saints, crooked
and straight, big and little, male and
female, not including the crying
babies. If each person here thinks
my sermon worth the price of glass
Of beer, or nickle cigar, five red
tenths of dime, let them pay that
amount. If each pays nickel it
will make total of ten dollars this
evening. This repeated every week
in the year, would pay my salary. A
sermon that isn't worth nickle,
isn't worth coming to hear, and a
person that will beat the Lord, the
preacher or the printer, Is goat of
the most odoriferous odor.
