MISSOURI DEMOCRATS BOLT.
Prominent sound Money Men Repudl ate the Chicago Ticket and Platform.

Prominent sound Money Men Repudl- ate the Chicago Ticket and Platform.
 St, Louis, July 16,-Fifty of the most prominent sound money democrats of St. Louis held an informal conference last night scad decided not to support the Chicago platform and ticket.
 Housing speeches were made de- nouncing in caustio terms the action of the silver majority at Chicago.
 All the speakers were emphatic in their declarations that the Chicago convention was not democratic con- vention and in no sense represented in- telligent democrats and democratic principles.
 Colonel James o. Broadhead, ex- United States minister to Switzerland, presided, and after explaining the ob- jects of the conference invited discus sion.
 At the conclusion of the speaking Mr, Lehman read a score of letters from various points in Missouri and other states, showing that the sound money sentiment among democrats everywhere is far stronger than is gen erally believed, and is gaining strength every day.
 The chair was authorized to appoint committee of seven to solicit expres- sion from sound money democrats throughout the state and ascertain the consensus of opinion as to the best poll icy to pursue to accomplish the desired end.
 It was proposed that the sound money democracy of Missouri be organized in every county and all large cities of the state, and that a campaign of edu- cation be carried on in a systematic manner.

X VETERAN HORSEMAN Drove to Boston Fires on
 Engine No. 15. Has Handled the Ribbons Over the Best Horsedesh. Tho Interesting Experience of Mr.
 X. J. Breed.

MT. A. J. Breed is we'll known among tho most distinguished horsemen of New England, for he has driven for such men as Charles o. Rogers, of the Boston Journal, Jim Nske, Jr., s. R. Payson, of Belmont, and ten years for Francis Blake, of Weston, Mass.
 He also distinguished himself in tho Boston Fire Department as the driver of Engine IS.
 Mir. Breed, who Is now ticket agent at Keith's Theatre, makes the follow ing statement: -
 1T had kidney complaint, indiges- tion, and accompanying troubles. I was 50 used up and nervous that ! could not sleep two hours . night. Although I had q good appetite, I could not ent, as everything in tho shape of food lay like a brick on my stomach. I own place at Wolfboro, N. H., where go every summer, but experienced no relief from the change of air until took Dr. Croaby's prize formula. When my suffering was greatest, my son, Dr. c. S Breed, tho proprietor of the St. James Stables, 3 at TAO Washington St., Boston, sent me some Puritana. The relief it gave me was marvellous. I found that my nervousness left me, my kidney trouble disappeared, my indigestion was cured, and I was enabled to eat and sleep. I can honestly say that ! gained at least 20 pounds and am feeling altogether another man. I cannot only eat anything that is put before me, but feel 50 well that I cannot do enough for puritana to compensate for the good Puritana has done mo. My only wish Is that others may sec this and profit thereby, as I am firm believer in Puritana
 "A. J. BREED.n
 Mir Breed also says that he re- gently advised one of his neighbors at WolfboTo to try Puritana, and ho finds that the old gentleman is much pleased with the results.

The editor of the Eupora Progress
is a gold-bug and "A mar Of brains than
politics. Anent the third ticket in
this State he says:
"Therc is no place in Mississippi
politics for a Palmer and Buckner
ticket. The issue is between Bryan
and Mckinley. and from these two
men a choice must be made. A vote
for Bryan is a vote for free silver and
the inherent right to be a Democrat,
while Il vote for Mckinley is II vote
for the gold standard and the inherent
right not to be IA Democrat. Not that
free silver Is Democracy or the gold
standard not Democracy or vice versa,
but that a man can't belong to one
party and vote for the nominees Of
another"

Several days ago ii young man in
New York brought suit against his
former sweetheart to reC0ver Il dia-
mond ring of the value Of $50 which
he had given her as a pledge of his
affections specified in his bill Of COM
plant that his passion has long since
died out and that in consequence of
this fact, the ring should be returned
to him. In this contention the young
man is sustained by the New York
World. That paper cites the rule of
etiquette which prescribcs that when
two young people have decided to play
quits in a love affair they should
mutually return all presents except
those OF a perishablc kind, such as
candy, boquets and kisses. The
answcr which the young lady makes
to the allegation is even more amusing
than the allegation itself. She claims
that the ring vas not simply a pledge
OF her cx lovers devotion which she
gave him and the exclusive privileges
which went along with it. She further
urges that the courtship involved
such expenses as coal and gas, the
wear and tear OF furniture, extra
dresses and bonnets, and the time
which might have been spent in dong
the family sewing and houscwork. In
view of these considerations the young
lady claims that the value Of the ring
is merely a drop in the bucket. AS
amusing as it may seem the cast is now
pending in the courts of New York.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE wheat market
went by contraries this morning. The
government report was even more
bearish than expected, and yet prices
opened higher than they closed yes
terday, climbing upwards a the season
progressed. The strength was the
natural consequence of TOO much bear
unanimity. For days the short" side
has been growing in popularity, and,
as might be expected under the cir
cumStances, many traders oVsrSold
themselves. The Liverpool cables were
the opposite of weak, an early decline
being succeeded by a full recovery.
Northwestern receipts We're liberal at
537 cars, against 499 last Friday, and
500 a year ago. Chicago received IS
cars and INSPECTED out 61,S71 bushels.
Closing continental cables were higher.
Export clearanees were moderate at
266, 1854 bushels. May wheat opened from
1875 to 1885. advanced to S0H, closing az
1874 Q797s-1Bq14 higher than yester-
tay- Estimated receipts for tomorrow,
315- cars. No. red spot wheat ranged
from S77s to 9014, closing about SS%4 q
1874.
Oats-The oats market presented but
a dull appearance. The tone of the
market was with regard to the feeling

drawals from stock. Exports amounted

northumberland trading was of
no interest or volume. The strength of
the grain markets contributed to a
steady tone early. The hog market was

who winks his eye at the apothecary
when he wants SS~ticl IN his soda IS
not a fiction Various excuses are
made TO get liquor, but the STANDARD
and most usual IS terrible pain IN
the stomach, or else a threatened chill
The druggist always suggests Jamaica
ginger. This suggestion is never sat
isfactory, as It is whisky they want \
favorite trick is 10 ask for dose OF
calisaya, which. to be thoroughly ef-
fecJive. must be mixed with whisky
The morphine fiend is shrewd and
discriminating buyer One OF the usual
excuses when the fiend is woman IS
that the drug is FOR mamma Poor
mamma, She has many sins TO answer
for of which she is guiltless- Some OF
the fiends can tell the brand of NOR
phine by the taste and viii have none
but their favOrite. One hopeless case
has become so expert on the quantity
that he usually takes-three grains
that with a dash of the bottle he can
throw the exact quantity into the palm
of his hand. The druggist with whom
he usually deals has verified the weight
of the dose thus prepared many times,
and invariably finds it correct TO
fraction of a grain.
The drug store is a favorite place for
leaving bundles, ValiSeS, etc. Many or
the packages left are never called for
a lady left a bundle in an Olive street
establishment year ago that con-
tanned two dozen suits of underwear,
and has never returned for them At
the same drug store a well-dressed man
left his valise. containing clothing. pa
pers, a shaving set and many miscel-
laneous articles. and never came back
The strangest case of the kind was
man who left his wife at a down town
store about 8 o'clock, promising to re-
turn in ten minutes. At 10 O'Clock,
closing time, he had not returned, so
the druggist sat down TO wait for him,
not caring to turn the lady out on the
street. AT 12:15 a. m. he dropped In,
much the worse for wear, and then
there was a scene that repaid the
druggist for his long vigil
People who get hurt on the streets in
any manner always go to the drug
stores TO be patched up. They claim
treatment of this kind apparently as a
right and part of the duty of the drug
gist to the public, and in nine cases
out of ten do not even express their
thanks for the service rendered them.
There is an old gentleman who pat
ronizes a South St. Louis drug store
who thinks he is confirmed morphine
fiend. He began the use of morphia
for insomnia. The first prescription
called for chalk. but it put him to
sleep, and he has had it refilled every
day since. He sleeps like a babe at
night, except when he misses his usual
dose. and then he walks the floor until
he gets it.
