Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps the more
generally needed in the Spring, when
the languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of tonic and alternative
is felt. \ prompt Isl of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine viii

CAPE GIRARDEAU. August 8, 1895
At a regular meeting of the Post
the Committee on Resolutions present.
ed the following on the death Of Com
rad August. Won Cloedt. which were
unanimously adopted.
LIGHTS OUT.
Another veteran has been discharg-
ed from the labors of this life to bask
on the sunny shores of the Eternal
Camping ground"
Conrad August Won Cloedt. Il ma
tive of Prussia, born May 10Th. 1899.
served in the armies of his native
land and rose to the grade of Captain.
Resigning therefrom he joined the
army of Garibaldice, was commission
ed Major, and fought for the unity
and liberty of Italy. Then emigrat-
ing. he settled in the United States and
enlisted in Co. /. 1l9. y. y. Infantry.
where he served with much distinction
and rose to the grade of Captain and
was transferred to the staff Of Gen.
Banker of the army of the Potomac.
During this service he was captured
and held as a prisoner of war for
nearly two years. After his release
and discharge he settled in Cape Cir
ardeau and was appointed City Enei-
neer for a number of years and the
grading and McAdimizing of Broad
way and our Levee still stand monu-
ments to his skill and ability as a
Civil Engineer.
Conrad Won Cloedt has been a
faithful member of this Post. a true
friend of every true soldier, and quiet,
law-abiding citizen. Since he left the
army his health has been poor. which
has confined him to his room during
the past five years. where he spent his
time porting over books and papers,
always taking a deep interest in all
matters pertaining to his native and
adopted country.
He made his home at Mrs. Franks.
where kind, loving hands and hearts
we're ever ready to administer to his
slightest want, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That. in the death of
Conrad Won Cloedt. the country has
lost a true soldier, this Post faithful
member and the city and State a law
abiding citizen.
RESOLVED further, that a copy of
these resolutions be published in the
city press, and a copy spread on the
records of this Post, and the furniture
of the Post to be draped for thirty
days. A true copy.

June FL, '98.
We, the Missouri State Teachers
Association, believing the greatest de-
feet in our public school system to be
its failure to provide for the efficient
inspection and supervision of our
country chools and that the correction
of this defect is necessarily the first
slept in the improvement of these
schools, do hereby petition the State
legislature to enact int a law a bill
to increase the powers and define the
duties of County Commissioners.
This bill should contain the follow
ing provisions:
LIST. That the commissioner shall
be a teacher of not less than two years
successful experience and shall pos
sess educational qualifications equal
to those provided forina few years high
school curse.
md. That he shall have general
superintendent of the schools OF his
county. He shall visit each school
at least once each yearand shall labor
in every practicable way to elevate
the standard of teaching and to i'm
prove the condition of the schools of
his county.
Bird. That the salary of the County
Commissioner shall De in proportion
to the population and wealth of his
county and work performed and suf-
ficient to command the service which
the ranks of the teaching profession
affords.
