FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
j. s. Hackiey Highly Spoken Of by His
Friends-Interview With
G. r. Bozzell.

Mr.. O. r. Bozzell, of st. Louis, a
brother-in-law of B. o. and I. j. Sims,
of Audrain County, is in Mexico with
his family attending the fair and Wis
iting relatives. Mr.. Bozell is a prom
inent contractor of st. Louis and q
great friend of ]. 8. Hackley, of Mob
erly, who is a candidate for Railroad
Commissioner. Mr.. Bozzell, in talk
ing to the LEDGER In reference to
Mr.. Hackley, is very enthusiastic in
his support and thinks his nomination
would be a very strong n for the
Democratic party to make. In addi-
ton to many high compliments paid
to the candidate, Mr.. Bozzell said:
81. 8. Hackley was born near Wav-
erly, Lafayette County, Mo-, on a
farm and Is 4S years old. His father
left Lafayette County and bought a
farm FIVE miles north of Richmond,
Ray County, Mo-, when Jim was ten
years old. He worked on that farm
for his father until he was q years
old, then went back to Lafayette
County and hired out to Ben Lewis,
near where Corder now is. He
worked on the farm one year for
Lewis and got the best wages of any
farm hand in the county because he
| was considered and was the best farm
| hand in the State. He then went to
| Higginsville when that town first
| started and worked at the painters
trade for two years. He then clerked
in a store at H~igginsvilie for one year.
| He then went on the road from Hig-
| ginsvilie on January 1, 1875, and has
| been on the road steady ever since,
and is representing one of the largest
| distilleries in the United States, sell
ing whisky to the wholesale trade,
He travels and makes all the large
cities from Boston to San Francisco
and from Galveston to st. Paul."

"Taken In"

81 used often to read the newspaper
aloud to my wife," said Bert Robinson,
and once L was fairly taken in by a
patent medicine advertiseme The
seductive paragraph began with a
modest account of the sea-serpent, but
ended by setting forth the virtues of
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which, it was alleged, was cure for
all bronchial, throat and lung troubles,
aud would even cure consumption, if
taken in time. The way l was taken
in was this: l had lung disease, and
1 bought bottle of the remedy; 1 was
a stranger to it, and it took me in
and cured me.' RobinSon's expert
ence is Identical with that of thou
sands of others. So true is this, that
after witnessing, for many years, the
marvellous cures of bronchial, throat
and lung affections wrought by this
wonderful remedy, its manufactures
feel warranted in saying that this
remedy will cure 80 per cent. of all
cases of consumption, if taken in the
earlier stages of the disease.

Wheat Ito Burn

With a wheat crop of 575, 900, 900
bushels in sight in the United States
and an unusually light crop predicted
in all the other great grain prod uclng
countries of the world, the prospects
of the American farmer are bright in
deed.
A recent issue eff Bradstreet's, which
is usually very conservative in its
views as to the business future, calls
attention to the fact that the stock Of
wheat in hand at present is unusually
light, being only 100000 bushels,
while nearly all the great grain pro-
ducing countries of the world have un-
usually light crops this year. Recent
reports, it says, from Russia, Germany,
France and Hungary, point to decrease
wheat harvests, and that India will
hardly supply her home demand, with
like reports from Australia and Argen-
tine, and adds: This brings the Unit
ed States to the front as a prominent
wheat exporter under similar cOndi-
tions to those which existed in 1879
over the revival succeeding the great
panic after five or six years retrench-
ment and economy"
The same publication calls attention
to the fact that during the month of
June there was an advance in cotton,
cotton seed oil, tobacco, bacon, lard.
rice, corn, oats, barley, wheat and 9th
err farm products.

Dr. Purdy, whose views on the art
of living were recently reproduced,
says that is man "born of healthy
parents, and W hO is himself healthy at
BIRTH" becomes seriously disabled in
health before the age of from % to 20,
barring accidents or Infectious diseases,
he has only himself to blame for not
having lived properly. This is all tue
enough; but the boy who starts in with
cigarette smoking, losing sthe sire 9Th
of his brain and limbs, and becoming
consumptive, hollow chested, stunted,
withered, diseased and idiotic, cannot
know these things. He is useless be-
fore he arrives at the age when he
should realize handsome manhood.

THE Washington correspondent OF
the Morning Times is in accord with
the political party the Times claims to
represent. The statements that Col.
Campbell would be appointed collector
and that w. w. Mills would not receive
anything sprung from the desire OF
machine democrats and not from facts
in the case. While the former has by
every machination possible tried to
tear in twain the republican party of
this county, the latter has fired straight
shot into the democrats and told them
some plain truths that led them to hope
that be will be snubbed by the admin
strstion. Captain Mills may not be
able to pull the plum for which he is
reaching, but if justice is done he will
be provided for with good position.

"When men work all day and just get
enough to keep life in them so that
they can work the next day; when
nothing can be saved; when old age can
