the people of our neighboring town
are so deep in ''railroads" that they
seem to think that one Of their citi-
zens can leave Breaux Bridge, fly to
New Orleans and return to that

The Great Dfouth.

The dronth Of the past mouth has
been general. extending all over the
Mississippi valley. Reports from
st. Louis are to the effect that the
states of Illinois, Missouri, Indiana
Kansas, Nebraska and Arkansas ale
all in great need OF wet weather
| Iowa has had more rain than some
/ OF the surrounding states, but is now
almost as bad as they. Missouri
and Illinois are suffering the most,
particularly the southern portion of
Illinois and central Missouri. There
is YET no Indication of rain.
Reports from these states say that
the ground is too dry for fall plow-
ing, and all the country roads are
from two TO four inches in dust. A
white film covers all the land. The
ripening corn hangs dull and APP
parently lifeless in the heat of
summer sun, and everything is
parched. lu many sections Of Mis-
souri, the cisterns have gone dry and
the danger Of FIRE in the small cities
aud towns is imminent. The Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers have moi
been so low in ten years.
The drought which prevails in
central Illinois is causing great ap-
prehension 10 the farmers. The
corn is so dry that the ears can be
reedlly shelled by hand. Much OF
it has rnn to .nubbins" or imperfect
ears, and it is believed that the un-
seasonable heat will seriously short
en- the yield. The fall wheat lately
planted is lying unsprouled on the
ground. Some of the earlier sown
came up some time ago, but it may
die for lack of rain. The fall SOW
ing OF timothy, the farmers say, is 8

stroyed and farmers have been feed

considerable violence in the northern
part of the State, doing, it was re.
ported, slight amount of damage
The temperature was very uniform
there being no severe cold spells
There was considerable snow in the
portion of the State east of the
mountains, and in the western OF
coast section the greater part OF the
month was rainy. Although the total
precipitation was less than 25 per cent
in excess of the normal, the number oil
rainy days was unusually frequent.
The month was somewhat about the
average in temperature, but was not SC
warm as 1895 by two and half de.
grees, nor 1896 by three and hall
degrees. Snow did not remain on the

street. learned himself with weights
from scales on the counter and knocked
out the other two. All four received
ugly cuts on the head. It was feared
for some time that the Indians had
been killed; but physicians were sum-
moned and the Indians regained con-
seriousness. Their wounds were sewed
up and they were taken to the GALA
boose. The citizens are aroused, and
are determined to send the offenders
to the penitentiary. One of the
Indians killed his bother on the reser-

None But Aver. a, the worlds Fai.

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com.
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to be an honest, scientific prepare
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds
of physicians say it is, thousands OF
druggists say it is, millions of patients
say it is. Take it, ailing friend, and you
will say it is.
