Hog
Cholera
Gan be
Cured.
4,
THE STAR
CHOLERA
REMEDY

Is a sure preventive Of Hog
Cholera; also a cure when taken in
time. This is not a new remedy, but
one which has been tried and found
to be the best and cheapest remedy
ever put on the market.
This remedy is not cure-all; 1t Is
for hogs and them alone. As a pre-
tentative it has no equal. As a cure,
II hogs will still eat, they can be cured
with it. Hogs will put on fat much
faster when fed this mixture.
We have sold hundreds of pounds
of the Star Cholera Remedy with the
best results, and refer you to Henry
Myers or Ernest Kruger, farmers and
hog rrisers, who have used the Star
Cholera Remedy. Full directions for
using with each package.

RIcHLAND, Mo- Sept. 10. The Pulaski
county bank, Of this city, made the
highest and best bid for the county
funds, but the court rejected the bid
and gave the county treasurer an
option on the funds. The Pulaski
county bank brought suit to enjoin the
county court and county treasurer, but
Circuit Judge Woodside decided that
county judges had the right to reject
any and all bids, and the treasurer
then had the right to place the funds
where it suited him best. The decision
is far-reaching in its nature and will
interfere with the workings Of the new
depository law, designed to earn rev.
enue for the counties and give an
added security to the funds.
