Another sign OF Prosperity.

Many other signs have failed, but at
last we appear to have indubitable
evidence OF better times in this country,
of reviving business. of acceleratiOn
in the processes of money-making, of
widely diffused confidence. of per-
vading cheerfulneSs and hOpefulness.
Last week. or the week before that,
Secretary Sherman said something to
Lord Salisbury, or his lOrdship said
something to his secretaryship. 1t
doesn' t matter which. Only the En-
glish newspapers took the matter up
in their solemn way and wrote vigor-
Gus editorials warning this country
that she'd best look out.
Now, for four years. beginning with
May. 1893. whenever any English news
papers said that the relations between
this country and England were in dan
ger of becoming strained, everybody
on this side of the Atlantic had a dis
NAL fit. Stocks went off. sterling cX-
change rose, bankers refused to lend
money. and the weary deputy sheriffs
got ont another big bundle of attach
ments and sighed, and started out to
serve them. For long periods if Il
man stood anywhere within mile of
Wall street and said ''war" and En-
gland in the same sentence the air
took on a dreadful hue Of blueness.
To-day the Englishpapers are grumb-
ling about strained relations and no
more attention is paid toit on this side
than as though they were growing
about the weather in India. Stocks
are advancing steadily. Wheat is 60
ing up almost every day.
Bothered, Why, bless their blOomin
British hearts, nobody in America has
any idea what the trouble is about.
What was it. Mr. Sherman said, any
how: That Lord Salisbury wore his
whiskers too long:-Chicago News.

Last of Cigarette Pictures

When the children who have fad
for collecting cigarette pictures, as a
majority of them have, cemeto realize
the new order of things, their protest
will doubtless be heard, not at Wash
ington, perhaps, but in many home
in the various forums where they are
wont to discuss their grievances. The
new regulation reads:
None of the packages of smoking
tobacco and tine-cut chewing tobacco
and cigarettes prescribed by law shall
be permitted to have packed in. or at
tached to. or connected with them. any
article or thing, whatsoever other than
the manufacturer wrappers and lab

the tobacco or cigarettes. respective

quired to be paid under the internal

of. or any order or certificate for, any

Acetylene Gas.

We are now prepared to place on
the market our machines for generat-

are adapted for lighting stores,
factories, churches and private resi-
dences. Small towns and farmers can
now haye gas as well as those in the
cities. as each consumer controls his
own little gas plant, which is quite
inexpensive. We guarantee to furR-
ish six times as much light at less than
half the expense of ordinary gas,

southeast Missouri to the Front

Southeast Missouri is surely the
country that the people of Missouri
can point TO with pride. This year
the great Southeast is blessed beyond
the expectation of the most sanguine.
In Cape, Scott and Stoddard counties
the wheat counties-the yield of
wheat has been away above the aver
age and the price has kept step with
the yield. Many are holding their
wheat for the dollar price which Bill
Stone promised them five years ago.
but which Grover Cleveland and Bill
Stone never brought. The melon crop
in the melon district is the best ever
raised and briggs first-clasS value.
Hay and oats also keep up with the
procession and the outlook for corn
and cotton both as acreage and yield
causes the farmer to wear a healthy
smile. All kinds of manufacturing in
dustries are humming and everybody
is happy. Five railroads are now ac-
tually building in Southeast Missouri
and new one has just been charter
ed.
More actual money will be realized
in Southeast Missouri this year than
Klondyke will be able to show up in
whole year.

PLACING INSURANCE.
Supt. Orear Explains a statute At
fecting Business Men and Foreign
COmpanies,

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo, August r.
Superintendent Of Insurance Orear
said to-day:
Business firms and corporations
which find it necessary to carry large
lines of insurance have heretofore
found some difficulty in placing the
amount OF insurance which they need
altogether in companies licensed to do
business in this state. By a recent
act of the Legislature. which does not
seem to be generally known, it has
been made lawful for such firms to ac-
complish this object by carrying any
reasonable amount of insurance In
companies not authorized to transact
business in this state. Section 81, 10
of the Revised Statutes of the state
has been so amended as to authorize
any person to effect insurance with un-
authorized companies on his own
property, or the property of his firm
or corporation, by applying to the
superintendent of insurance. paying a
fee of so, and thus obtaining license
to procure for himself, or his firm or
corporation. such outside insurance
for one year. All such licenses. how
ever, expire on February | of each
year. The law also provides Il PEN
atty of 500 in each case where such
insurance is affected with unauthor-
lied companies without this license
from theSuperintendent of Insurance. )"
Supt. Orear issued licenses to-day
to the Fraternal Union, of St. Louis,
Mo-: to the Royal Tribe of Joseph, of
Sedalia, Mo-: to the Supreme Tribe of
Ben Hur, of Charlottesville, Ind, and
to the Ancient Order of Pyramids, of
Kansas City, Mo. all to transact a
fraternal beneficiary insurance busi-
ness in the State of Missouri.

\ Queer (.) Medicine.

There is a medicine whose proprie-
tors do not claim to have discovered
some hitherto unknown ingredient, or
that it is a cure-all. This honest
Medicine only claims to cure certain
diseases, and that its ingredients are

clans as being the best for kidney and

PERHAPS THIS MAY HELP YOU.

"My food does me no good" you
say. Then it does you harm. There
is no hating place between these ex-
tremes. Digested food alone gives
health and strength. Undigested
food sours, or fermeDts, In the stom-
ach and becomes poison to the whole
body. 1t causes headaches, heart pal
pitation, liver and kidney trouble, dis
tress after eating, pains in the chest
and sides, and the tired, languId,
heavy feeling we hear so much about.
When the digestion goes wrong every
function of the body goes wrong. Yes,
and the mind, too. Men fail IN busi-
ness and die poor for no other reason
than this-they are weakened, dulled
and stupefied by dyspepsia. The lives
of host of women are blighted In the
same way. You may be one of this
miserable multitude. The writer of
these lines was one of your number a
short time ago. l tried dozens of
things to get cured just as YOU have
done, no doubt. The thing which at
last succeeded with me may succeed
with you. 1t is discovery of those
wise and good people-the Shakers, of
Mount Lebanon, N. Y.-called the
Shaker Digestive Cordial, 1t is not q
purgatIve, which at best gives only
transient relief. 1t is in itself d.
gested food and also a corrector of the
digestive function. You can eat and
digest your food while taking this cor
dial. 1t helps you at once and soon
makes the stomach vigorous and
healthy. 1t is not like any other So
called dyspepsia cures. 1t is prepared
by the Shakers principally from herbs
cultivated by them. They do not ask
us to spend dollar for bottle while
we are ia the dark as to Its virtues.
They take that risk themselves. AL
most any druggist will sell you trial
bottle for ten cents, so that you can
see whether it ls what they say-and
adapted to your case. And isn't the
mere chance OF a cure worth that much?
