A Practical and Useful Invention

Mr.. r. B. Griffin, of this city, has
originated an invention that is entire
ly new and has proved to be a perfect
success in the hands of several we'll
known lady housekeepers of Mexico,
who are using it-a machine that
kneads bread, rolls out pastry and
| works the milk out of butter when it
comes from the churn.
Mr.. Griffin claims that bread can be
kneaded with the machine in 10 min
utes better than a woman can do with
her hands in 80 minutes hard labor.
Mr.. Griffin is negotiating with a
large manufacturing company at Free
port, ILL.,, to make the machines, and
has arranged with the Central Supply
| Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, to put them
| on the market. Mr.. Griffin will visit
these parties at once to complete ar
~rangements.
Mr.. J. w. Ritenour, a we'll known
citizen Of Mexico, has purchased ar
undivided half interest in the inven.
ton and will be associated with Mr.
Griffin.

Hon, L. B. Ely is Dead.

Last Friday night in st. Joseph,
Hon. Lewis Bell Ely, of C%arroIlton,
passed to his eternal reward. He was
on the programme of the Missouri
Baptist Young Peoples Union, which
met last week in st. Joseph. He was
stopping with his daughters, Mrs. G.
G.. Parry and Mrs. Roscoe Thomas.
Although he had been in frail health
for several months no one expected
that he would die 80 soon.
Missouri loses by his death a truly
great man. Little children and old
people, the ~illiterate and the scholarly
people rejoiced in his friendship. He
was financial agent for William Jewell
College and through his own generous
gifts and through his patient work
among his brethren, he saw the col.
lege literally endowed. He was sew
enty-two years old. He lived wisely ano
effectively. The good he has done
among men will cause coming gener.
atoms to bless his memory.

"A Fine Game of Ball.

Extracts from the Jefferson City
Tribune's write up of the Mexico-Ful-
ton game played there Sunday.
Mexico and Mexicans hate Fulton
and Fultonites, and their hatred is re-
turned with compound interest. The
old-time rivalry between Jefferson
City and Sedalia is like a breeze from
a snow capped mountain peak as
compared to the heated state of feel
ing existing between the county seat
of Audrain and the capitol of Gala
way.
The base ball teams of the two towns
came to jefferson City Sunday to find
neutral ground on which to play a
game that was for blood all the way
through. Rooters of high and low
degree accompanied the two teams.
They had money and added interest
was lent the game by the activity OF
the betting. Nearly all the money
was staked at two to one that Fulton
would win. Jefferson City spectators
were impartial and they enjoyed the
game thoroughly for it was a good
one. Dewey, Dodge and Watkins
played with the Mexico team and they
put up gilt edged ball. Fred Cries
hammer umpired impartially, but
made a bad decision favorable to the
Fultons in allowing a batsman to take
a base for being hit by the ball, when
in fact the ball merely grazed the bat
close to his hand. One feature of the
game was the marvellous throwing of
Maupin, center-fielder of the Next
cans. Once he threw a man out at the
plate from far center and again nip
ped a runner at third.

any of the symptoms of dyspepsia,
your stomach is tired. 1t needs a

for a time, or until it is restored to its
natural strength. To do this success
fully, we must use a food which is
already digested outside of the body,

other foods that may be taken with it.
Such a product is the Shaker Diges-
