THE St. Loui s papers report Col. Nick Bell, of St. Louis, as one of the active silver men in the recent Missouri Democratic Convention, and the Chronicle speaks of him as ia recent convert to free silver. Two years ago, during the Breckin- ridge campaign, the writer met Col. Nick Bell in Hot Springs, at which time the St. Louisian was a strong and enthusiastic sound money man, and was using his influence in quiet way for the reelection of Mai. Breckinridge. 1t is astonish ing in this modern and material age how easy it is for men to change. their opinions. Men think nothing now of changing their opinions religious, political or economic-as quickly and as readily as chame leon changes it's colors. A number of remarkable conversions have recently been witnessed in this city os the financial question. Men would rather change their opinions and be with the majority, than to remain steadfast in their opinions and be with minority.
 Time was in the good and virtuous old days of yore, when men and women would endure every hardship, suffer any privation, or,i if need be, be burned at the stake rather than sur render their opinions and convic- political or religious. There would never have been Reformation had it not been for the steadfastness of the fathers in their faith, and we would yet have been groping in the darkness and superstition of medi- aval catholicism had it not been that there were martyrs ready to be burned at the stake. The Puritans would have never emigrated to America and endured the hardships and fought the Red Men of this un- developed and unciyilized country had they been content to surrender any of their religious convictions to remain in the established civilization of their "mother country But all of this in this material age where every man is looking out for his own political or pecuniary ad- vantage is changed, and opinions or convictions amount to nothing unless they have Q material and metallic value about them. The aforesaid Col. Nick Bell holds fat office under Gov. Stone, the rantan- kerous silverite of the common wealth of Missouri, and MT. Bell

A WOMAN book agent in Missouri, says an exchange, has adopted a sharp swindling trick. She leaves books for examination. A day or two afterwards a man comes to see if the books are wanted. If not he takes them away. Then the woman returns for them and when informed that they have already been de- livered, she wrings her hands and weeps, declaring the man has swindled her, that she is ruined, and so on, and graciously accepts the proffered compensation.

SAYS the Jonesboro Sun: "It is a well known fact that certain gentle men connected with the Cotton Belt officially, hold their positions by reason of the amount of influence they can wield in Arkansas politics. For that reason they are very con- spicuous in all conventions and trying to dictate the selection of all officers from constable to United States Senator. They make speciality of working for candidates for Supreme Court and the Legisla ture."
 The above paragraph has refer ence to the "pernicious activity of the attorney for the Cotton Belt road in the Craighead County pri- maries and convention.

and skin diseases are frequently not skin diseases at all All the lotions and bleaches and creams and powders in the world won't make good complexion if the digestion is wrong. If the stomach is sour, and the liver torpid, and the bowels constipated, the skin will show it. No use trying to treat the skin for such a condition. The only way to relieve 1t is to cleanse the sys- tenn and purify the blood As long as the heart is pumping impurities to every part of the hody, just so long these impurities will show through the skin.
 Dr. Pierceis Golden Medical Discovery is good for the complexion because it makes the whole body hea.thy-because 1t clears and purihes the blood, makes the digestion strong and clears out impurities of all kinds. By increasing the ability to assimilate nutritious food, and by the in- fusion of its own ingredients, it enriches the blood and so makes solid, heaIfhy flesh It fills out the hollows, rubs out wrifik- les and substitutes for sallowness a rosy healthy glow. There is no mystery about 1t. It isn't miracle. It is merely the re- suit of combination of rational, natural common sense with expert medical knowl- edge. It cures diseases of the lungs. liver. stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply because all these diseases spring from the same cause disordered digestion and consequent impure blood. Don't let preiu- dice and scepticism cheat you out of your health Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery will positively cure you, if suffering from diseases named above.
