sion positive cure for sleeplessness, wasting strength dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint neuralgia, rheuma tism all nervous diseases and kidney troubles. For all such complaints Paine's Celery Compound has succeeded again and again where everything else has failed
 No remedy was ever so highly recom- mended, because none ever accomplished So much.
 Today Paine's Celery Compound stands without competition for feeding exhaus- ted nerves and building up the strength of the body. It cures radically and psr- manently. The nervous prostration and general debility from which thousands of women suffer so long that it finally gets to be a second nature with then-all th,s suffering and despcndsncy can be very soon removed by properly feeding the nerves and replacing theunhealthy blood by fresher, more highly vitalized fluid. A healthy increase in appetite and a corresponding gain in weight and good spirits follow the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
 Paine's Celery Compound is the most remarkable medical achievement of this last half of the nineteenth century.

How the Goyernor did II.

From the Springfield Leader Democrat.
The Ash Grove Commonwealth,
n0licing many kind words In the state
newspap, r. concerning Gov. Stephens
.sIatest financial trinnfph,+ asks:
.sWh.t has Governor stephens done
that entities HIM to so .mnch praise for
proiecifngs aihe states credit, etc.,"
aud asks TO know further, sin what
way has he done SOP"
The Leader Democrat has some re-
liable information upon these points,
which our good friend Of the common
wealth perhaps has not, and now for
the FIRST lime gives TO it publicity.
When our. present governor was
treasurer of Missouri, during the latter
DAYS of his administration, the de-
mands upon the treasury were greater
than the supply Of cash on hand. The
legitimate receipts and expenditures
could not be made TO connect. But
rather than have the warrants of the
stafefo go 10 protest during bis adj
ministrafion and the credit of the
state impaired, Treasurer Stephens
advanced from his own means $780,
600, . sufficient amount 10 enable the
state TO meet promptly every demand.
He has never allowed It mentioned,
and possibly but few know it, and we
hope we violate no. confidence Ia now
referring o IL. since the Common
wealth and q few other papers, which
apparently are u%nfriendly to the adj
minisfrarion, seem iHdisPosed to give
10 the governor that credit to which
he Is justly entitled.
Again. When the legislature adj
journed last winter, a deficit of per-
haps S4o0, 600 was staring the admin
istration in the face. The governor
wss urged by prominent Missourians
II1U eIery quarter of the state 10 call
~ |4IfE session of the general assem-
1|| bad revenue legislation might be
eES1ftd 10 avert what seemed to be an
inevitable calamity, and to prevent
our state credit from being damaged.
But Governor Stephens, who was a
master of the situation at the time,
stnbbornly refused and said 10 ali that
no ext.a session would be called dur
ing his administration il il could be
prevented and he thought he conid
prevent IL. He personally made ar
Yangements with the American Ma
tional bank of New York CITY to Sc
sure all the money necessary upon his
own responsibility 10 meet every war
rant. Governor Stephens was moi
stampeded. No warrant has gone 10
protest, and no extra session has been
called. BY refusing 10 cali an extra
session. IL no other good Was accemp-
Iished, la saved to the taxpayers of
Missouri at least 800, 900 of their
