AN abrupt and startling halt in
the tariff debate occurred in the
senate last Saturday when, in the
midst of passionate speech, Sena-
tor Pettlgrew, silver republican of
South Dakota, was stricken with
paralysis of the vocal chord, which
brought his speech to close with
sentence half uttered. The sena-
tor was not physically incapaci-
tated, except In the sudden loss of
the power of speech. He rallied
rapidly and that evening chatted
pleasantly with his family and a
few friends who called at his home.
lie was still q little weak from
the effects Of the attack, but was
greatly improved, and said he felt
well. There was no fever nor any
unpleasant symptoms growing out
of the attack, and he wanted his
friends assured that he was not in
q serious condition. His physi-
clan anticipates no serious results.

BEN ADAMS of the republican
Cape Girardeau Democrat deserves
credit for having the courage to
proclaim his convictions. Read the
following from his paper Of the 26th;
"If the devil don't get some Of
the pie hunters in southeast Mis-.
souri it will be because he is not on
duty"
"Don't abandon the ship, boys,
because you can't get your bellies
up to the pie counter. Stand up to
the rack, fodder or no fodder"
"The men who did the work for
the republican party in this state
hard party work-are in the soup
so far as patronage is concerned.
The hangers-on are the fellows who
are in the swim"
"Dr. Barrows, who has returned
from India, says the natives need
money, DR.. Barrows need not
have gone to India to find natives
who need money. There are nat
ives hore in Cape Girardeau who
need money"
ave want to secure photograph
of the first southeast Missouri re-
publican who gets . job from Uncle
Sam that pays one hundred dollars
per month. We want the photo
graph to place in our assortment of
curiosities."
"Somebody in southeast Missouri
is getting in his work with the
fourth assistant postmastor-general.
The heads of the fourth class post
master8 are dropping off at the rate
Of about dozen week IN this
part Of the state"
"Mony republicans throughout the
statc--leading republicans--hard
workers-are becoming disguised
with the way the government pie
is being dished out in this state.
There are too many of q certain
little home circle crowd being let
into the big dining room and given
chairs at the first table"

strongly to the people of Western Penn
sylvania as the Pennsylvania Railroad
Companys popular excursions to the
seacost of New Jersey. For years they

average vacation, and the dates of the
excursions are most conveniently ad
justed. There is also the widest field
for choice in the section of a resort.
Atlantic City Cape May, Sea Isle City
and Ocean City, are the choicest of the
Atlantic coast resorts, and any one of
them may be visited under these ar
rangements. The list this year includes
also Rehoboth, Del, and Ocean City.
Md
The dates of the excursions are July
) and 30, and August u and 21. A

and day coaches will leave Pittsburg
on above mentioned. dates at $50 A NJ.
