Would He Bolt His Maker?

The following from the New York
Journal is of interest at this time:
On his return from Europe the
other day the Rev. DIR. Parkhurst
made an announcement for publica-
ton which has attracted general at
tention. In laying down the law as a
monetary expert, the clergyman said:
1.-THE idea of trying to make a thing
worth one dollar which is only worth
IS cents is abeurd. 1t is trying to do
a thing which the Almighty cannot
do. I say this with reverence"
Other monetary experts of at least
as high authority as DIR. Parkhurst,
and rather better known, have no
doubt whatever that the opening of
the mints of the United States to free
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio
of 16 to / would at once bring the bull
lion price of the silver dollar up to its
coin value. AS no clergyman could
say that this, being done, had been
done In defiance of the will of the AL
mighty, there is a widespread Curl
osity to learn what DIR. Parkhurst
would do under the notifying cir
cumstances. Would he bolt his Maker!

CAN CURE ASTHMA AND HAY
FEVER.
A Noted Physician Offers to Prove
This to All Sufferers in Mexico.

The majority of sufferers from
Asthma and kindred complaints, af-
ter trying Doctors and numberless
advertised as positive cures
without avail, have come to the con-
clusion that there is no cure for this
most distressing disease, and these
same persons will be the more in
doubt and skeptical when they learn
through the columns Of the press that
DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann. the recog-
nized authority who has treated more
cases of these diseases than any lv-
ing Doctor, has achieved success by
~perfecting a remedy which not only
gives immediate relief in the worst
cases, but has positively cured thous-
ancs of sufferers who yer considered
incurabie. These were just as skept-
ical as some of our readers now are.
DR.. Schiffman's remedy no doubt pos
sesses the merit which is claimed for
it or he would not authorize this pa
per to announce that he is not only
willing to give free to each person
suffering from Asthma, Hay Fever, or
Bronchitis in this city one liberal Stree
trial box'' of his Cure, but urgently
requests all sufferers to call at French
& CARROTS Drug Store, Mexico,
within the next three days
and receive a package absolutely free
of charge, knowing that in making
the claim he does for his Cure a strong
doubt may arise in the minds of many,
and that a personal test, as he offers
to all, will be more convincing, and
prove its merits, than the publishing
| of thousands of testimonials from per-
SONS who have been permanently
| cured by the use of his Asthma Cure.
CDR. Schiffmann's Asthma Cure" as
it Is called, has been sold by Drug
gists in this city I've since it was
first introduced, although many per-
sons may never have heard of it, and
1t is with a view of reaching these
that he makes this offer. This is e
tainly a most generous and far offer,
and all who are suffering from any OF
the above complaints should emem-
Der the date and place where the dis
tribution will be made, and avail
themselves of the same. Persons hv'
ing out of this city who desire to test
the efficacy of this most wonderful
remedy will receive a package free by
mail by writing to DR.. R. Schiffmann,
$50 Rosabel street, st. Paul, Mimi.
providing their letter is received be-
fore Oct. 18th, as no free samples car
| ha obtained after that date.

A RALLY AT STURGEON.
Governor Stone, Senator Yeater and
Others Spoke.

STURGEON, Mo-, Oct. 2.-Governol
Stone and Senator Yeater addressed
the largest crowd here to-day ever
assembled in northern Boone county,
under the auspices of the Sturgeon
BRYAN free silver club and the State
Central Committee. More than 20
BRYAN clubs from the surrounding
country were present, and, in aB,from
5000 to 5000 people were in attend
ance. The line Of march was formed
at noon and was headed by the Elliott
Concert Band, followed by the dis
tinguished speakers and a parade
nearly a mile long, with flags, banners
and notices.
Governor Stone spoke for two hours
combining about half his remarks to
State issues and the remainder to
discussion of national affairs. He
urged the people to look especially t.
the election of State Senators and
Representatives in the legislature, &C
as to insure the return Of Senator
Vest to the United States Senate, anc
to the election of congressman to as
sist Bryan in the passage OF a free sill
yer bill, as he considered the success
of the national Democratic ticket az
practically assured.
Senator Yeater followed him In q
mastery effort in behalf of bimetal-
lism, and showed coDclusiveiy that
the United States could maintain the
free and independent coinage Of silver
without waiting for international
agreement. A marked feature Of the
day was a club Of boys under 81 years,
in line, organized for Bryan and silver.
Still more noticeable were fully hall
the colored voters OF the town wear
ing Bryan badges. At night speeches
we're made by Thomas s. Carter, ii. L.

because it is new. But in medicine, as
Il nothing else, the people demand

all competition and its sales have never
wavered but have remained steadily
at the top, demonstrates, beyond any

medicine. The new things have come

upon the solid foundation of absolute
merit and its power to cure, and its
sales continue to be the largest in the

There ia no doubt of ne Democratic
success by a goos~ majority. In the

election passed off quietly. Owing to
the length of the ticket it is impossible
to give the returns in this county to-
night, but it is conceded that the DEM
ocratlc county ticket was elected by a
handsome majority. Several impor-
