Respect the Stomach.


Few people do have proper respect
for the stomach. If a thing "tastes
good" and is not SO hot or so cold al
to be painful to the mouth or throat
it is swallowed by too many people
regardless of consequences.
Do not give the stomach food thai
will irritate 1t or retard it in the per-
Torrance of its natural functions, OF
it will retaliate in a way that is decid-
eddy unpleasant. A headache, a
"lump," or "heavy feeling'' in the
stomach, and irritations of the skin,
are mostly symptoms of disordered
digestion resulting from unwholesome
food.
Alum baking powders are RESPONSE
BILE for the larger part of this unwhole-
some food, for it is a fact well recog-
nized by physicians that alum renders
food ~indigestible and unwholesome.
The danger to health from this cause
is so eminent that it behooves every
one to adopt precautionary measures
to keep alum baking powders, which
are so numerous, from the kitchen
stores. 1t will be found that those
powders sold at a lower price than
Royal are almost invariably made
from alum, and therefore of inferior
quality and dangerous to health.
The safest way is to look for the
well-known ed-and-yellow label of
the Royal Baking Powder. That is
certain to cover 8 powder free from
alum. The Royal is made of cream of
tartar, a pure, wholesome fruit acid
derived from grapes. 1t is renowned
for adding anti-dyspeptic qualities to
the food, as well as for making finer
and better food.

Burglars Acain.

Some time during Sunday night
burglars entered the house occupied
by j. T. Mason, on Anderson and Goa
streets, and carried off about $12 in
cash, a ten-dollar gold medal and
a fine forty-dollar Shrine pin be-
longing to Mr.. Mason. The thief
turned everything upside down in
the rooms which he entered and got
away without being heard. He car
ried a candle with him.
About $40 of the money belonged to
Miss Bennie Martin, of Salisbury, who
is attending school here, and the gold
medal and % belonged to Miss Artie
Mason, of the same city.
Ii is not known how the entrance
was effected.

WAS A GRAND SUCCESS.
The Teachers Institute Held Recently
at Eureka School Was
Largely Attended.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
EUREKA, Mo-, Oct. 11.-Our institute
at Eureka school house was a grand
success. Friday night we had a
crowded house, and many teachers
were present. Among them were:
Prof. Hicks, of the Missouri State
University, who made an able talk on
"Incentiyes to Study" Messrs. Moore,
Braden, Painter, Cohoon, Woody,
Paisley and County Commissioner
Strother; Misses Reavis, Kirkpatrick,
Cohoon, Coakley and Gibbands. Mr..
Moore read an excellent paper on
EQUITIES of Teachers" Mr.. Painters
response to the address of welcome
was one of the best productions we
have had the fortune to hear for some
time.
On Saturday morning several teach
ers arrived, among them being Mr..
Rodgers, Of Prairie Lea; Mr.. White, of
the Erisman district, and Mrs.
Spencer, of the Walker neighborhood.
The basket dinner was indeed a
treat, and many of the teachers said
that that chicken was better than the
cake, but, of course, both were excel
lent.
After the dinner Mr.. Head took
photographs of the institute, and then
we proceeded with the regular pro-
gramme.
The most interesting features were
the contests. One of Miss Kirk
patrick's pupils by the name of
Skelley was the winner of the prize
for the best reader under 9 years of
age. The next prize was given Bertha
Mccoy, of the Eureka school, who
was the best reader between the ages
of 8 and IL years. The next prize was
given to Clara Weber, also of the
Eureka school, as the best reader over
IL years of age. The next prize was
awarded to Grover Weber, for being
the best penman. The second honors
in psnmanship were given Jamie
Knoebel: Both were pupils of the
Eureka school. The prizes were
given by County Commissioner
strother. The judges of the contests
were Mrs. Spencer, Prof. Hicks and
MI. Braden.
The next session of the Southeast
Audrain Teachers Institute will be
held in Benton City on November 9Th
and 9Th, 1897. The programme will
appear in the county papers at q later
date.
E. NJ. Woody was elected perma-
nent chairman and Miss Mary Coax
ley was elected permanent secretary
of the institute. i

HIT.

We have heard many compli-
mentary remarks relative to the clos
ing speech of Orlando Hit in behalf
of the prosecution in the case Of the
State against Cooley, recently tried,
and in which Cooley was convicted.
Concerning his effort Judge Hughes,
in substance, said:
sit was the most powerful and
effective argument I ever listened to-"
Mr.. Hit was for three years a dis
trict attorney in Southern Colorado,
and was a candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket tor reelection in the
fall of 1894, but with many other
Democratic candidates he went
down before the Republican land
slide of that fall. For the benefit Of
those not very we'll acquainted with
him, who, upon hearing his argument
in the Cooley case, seemed somewhat
surprised at his powers before a jury,
we reproduce a letter to his father
written by the Hon. J. @. Gunter, who
was Judge of the same district OF
which MIR. Hit vas attorney, at the
time OF Mr.. Hits defeat in '94:
| To A. C. Hit, Mexico, Missouri.
As.ANIMAs, Colo, Nov. z, 1894
Dear Sir: The returns show the
defeat of your son, Mr.. Hit, and
myself. 1t has occurred to me that it
might afford you some satisfaction to
know from me, who has been judge
of the court OF which he has been the
prosecuting officer for the last three
years, how faithfully and efficiently
he has discharged the duties Of his
office. / say without hesitation that
he is the ablest prosecuting officer In
Colorado, and that he has faithfully
and efficiently, during our three years.
association as Judge and district
attorney, discharged all the duties of
his. Office. 1 have never known him
derelict in any duty; he has never
under any influence departed in the
slightest from what he believed his
duty. The people of the district will
not know until he is out of Office the
value of the officer they have lost.
Although the district is strongly Re-
publican and he had a Republican and
Populist adversary, he loses the dis
trict by only a small plurality. He
must have received 600 Republican
votes in this district.
Permit me to add that our relations
have been most pleasant and our Off
cial relations terminate with my having
for him the highest respect and the
warmest friendship.
With much respect,
j, O. GUNTER.

SENATOR F. M. CocKRELL, who has
spent his vacation making Democratic
speeches throughout Missouri, was in
st. Louis this week en- route to Wash
ing, where he will spend the winter
looking after the interests of his con-
stituency. Talking to a reporter the
Senator said:
SIT has been years now" he said,
''since / tasted liquor. Time was, per-
haps, when men lived out of doors and
whisky was different; then a man
could take three or four drinks a day
and feel no harmful results. But in
these days the process of continuous
drinking is injurious. So / long ago
confined my beverage, aside from
water, to straight milk"
A bunch of politicians went to guess
ing the Senator's age, and they frankly
and unfiatteringly guessed all the way
from 6s to IS, when, az a matter OF
fact, he is So, dating his birth from
Oct. 1, 1884. Senator Vest Is generally
believed to be about rs, but is only 81.
Senator Cockreli, in speaking of the
political situation, said: "There can
be nc cessation in the struggle be-
tween bimetallism and the single gold
standard until the fight is finished.
The Republican party has arrayed
itself completely and unrsservedly on
the sideof the single standard. There
can be no compounds on that basis.

SECRETLY DIVORCED.
Mrs. Sarah j. Moore Says Her Hus-
band Deceived the Court-eha
Tells Her Sad Romance.
From the St, LAuis Post Dispatch

From the st, LeuisP Post Dispafeh-.
Mrs. Sarah ]. Moore, a dressmaker
at 1457x O'Fallon street, will COM
mence proceedings in q few days with
q view to having fet aside the decree
of divorce granted her husband, Thos.
c., at Mexico, Mo-, September %.
After securing the decree, Moore
married Miss Ella Whitworth, and
the question arises, win Moore be a
bigamist il his divorce lie set aside?
Moore was a fireman at the Com
mercial building and lived with his
parents at 4407A Hunt avenue until
two months ago, when he went to
Mexico to claim residence, SO as to
procure a divorce. Five hours after
the divorce was granted he married
Miss Whitworth, who had been a
servant in the home of his parents.
In his petition he accused his wife
of being slovenly and addicted to ex-
cessive use of intoxicants. He also
said she was q nonresident of the
state and that he did not know where
q summons could be served on her.
She was not served with a notice of
the proceedings and the decree was
granted by default.
"My husband did know where I
could be found" Mrs. Moore said to a
reporter last night, "and he knew 1
was a resident of Missouri and knew
I was living here on O'Fallon street.
Therefore, I shall claim that he pro-
cured the divorce by fraud. 1 will
begin proceedings in a few days to
have the decree set aside.
"We were married thirteen years
ago and 1 am one of the best known
members of the Tower Grove church.
We lived with his parents on Hunt
avenue until three years ago, when
he deserted me and went down town
to live.
"About a year before this his pa
rents employed Ella Whitworth as a
servant and were to teach her dress
making.
CATER he had left me about three
months 1 had him arrested for deser-
ton and non-support, but at the last
minute / relented and would not send
him to the workhouse.
"a few months later I left his pa
rents to come down here and make
my own living.
"When I heard that he had gotten
a divorce of course I was surprised,
and sent for a copy of the allegations.
Then I made affidavit that every
charge was false and that he per-
iured himself in swearing that he did
not know where I lived. This afi-
davit l sent to the Circuit Court at
Mexico, and now / shall ask the court
to set aside the divorce"
