ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.

this time on they were not heard
from until the news Of the shooting

Very Truly Yours,
CORPORAL JAMES o. BECKwTTH,
90. NJ, First VT, Volunteer Infantry.
Secretary Of War Stanton used to
say that the best definition OF rest is a
change Of occupation. That may be
true for one in health, but q sick per-
son needs to have his digestion regu-
lated, his blood purified and his nerves
invigorated. Paine's celery compound
brings the sort of rest the sick body
requires through sleep and noufish-
ment.
Just as the great lawyer studies each
one of his cases till he knows 1t on
every side and in every possible aspect
90 Professor Edward e. Phelps, NJ. D.,
Ii. D., of Dartmouth College, the dis
coverer of Paine's celery compound,
had studied the nerves in health and
disease, when well nourished and
when under-nourished, in men and
women and children years before he
looked for the remedy. Paine's cell
cry compound was the outcome of
his entire professional life. A fitting
memorial to q life Of hard study and
close observations remedy that the
world could not lose to-day, at any
price.
Paine's celery compound claims and
equalizes all the nervous tissues and
induces the body to take on solid
flesh. It purifes the blood, as is SO
clearly shown by the rapid clearing
Of the skin of all evidences Of bad
humors within. 1t 10 an infallible
relief for salt rheum, eczema and all
blood diseases,

operator back with them.
Evans and Lowe climbed into the
cab and made the engineer come down.
James was the first man to enter the
express car. Ryan again made the
gun play. s,.
Polk fred the dynamite, but it failed
to explode. The second attempt was
successful.
After the explosion Evans, who was
on horseback, got a big package OF
money, put it In one Of the sacks,
mounted and said he'd wait for the
rest near Thirty. Ninth and Indians,
where they had sgreed TO meet. What
he got no one knew, for Evans
"skipped out" with the sack. The
rest picked up go.
The men were badly ratified by the
explosion and tried to burn their old
clothes, belts, etc. In the engine box,
but failed. These were hid in the
bushes near by. Later, the officers
say, led by Lowe, they found the
clothes, but the gums were gone.
Lowe and Ryan turned the horse
loose near Thirtieth and Holmes and
Ryan whipped 1t up. Then they took
o Holmes street a at Twenty Ninth
street and got on at Fourteenth and
Grand. Thence they walked to Main
street, took q drink, walked up Four
tesnth street and went home.
Lowe does not know what became
of the buggy that Polk got. Evans he
has not seen since.

Disastrous Fire.

Thursday while W. 81. Science, wife
and children, who live on the Jno. x.
Brown farm, FIVE miles south Of town,
were attending the Mexico Street Fair
their home and all their household
goods were laid waste by fire. The
fire started at about $3.50 or 8 O'Clock
and, a there was no one at home to
check it, 1t had it's own way.
About $3.50 O'Clock Dick Baker, who
works for Mr. Wood Maddox, passed
the scene of calamity and saw the
front door open and, supposing the
occupants to be at home, did not stop
for investigation. He had proceeded
only a short distance down the road,
when, turning around, he saw a dense
cloud of smoke coming from the house
and In q few moments he saw flames.
It is not known how the fire started.
Mr.. Science, who is q poor man, has
the aincerest sympathy Of the COM
munitY.

Missouri Corn.

The Macon (Mo.) Times publishes
an account of a wonderful yield Of
corn on a farm near that city. About
q year ago q farmer purchased some
seed known as the "Indian Variety"
The seed was planted about the mid
die Of May. The seed came up nicely
and it is his belief that the 200 .bushel
mark would have been made had the
conditions been right; but the season
was very unfavorable the first half,
rain and overflow, SO that the corn,
grass and weeds were about knee
high when it could be worked, and on
the Judgment of his landlord the
stuff was %valueless, so he turned his
mules in on it. Notwithstanding this
there are portions of the ground that
will approximate $50 bushels per acre.
This corn has no equal for root, stalk
and vital force. The corn is a White
Dent of excellent quality.

The soldiers who did the most good
were those who kept well.
There we're plenty of brave men
who were of little use when the time
came, because they took less care of
their health than they did OF their
musket.
Malaria and other fevers soon pick
ed out these men much mort uner-
ringly than the enemy's snarpshoot-
ers.
One set of men went about keeping
well in a b~usinesslike way. They took
Paine's celery compound at the first
indications of intestinal troubles, weak
ness, or when fatigued and liable to
fevers. They used Paine's celery
compound to purify their blood and
put their health on . firm basis as
soon as they made up their minds to
join the service.
Corporal Beckwith thinks there was
q great deal of needless sickness
among the volunteers. At Chicks.
manga many Of his mess mates follow
ed his example and fortified them
selves against disease by Paine's eel
cry compound, and not a man Of them
had malaria or fever Of any sort or
spent a day in the hospital.
Corporal Beckwith writes:
lamp Olympia, Sept. II, 1893.
Dear sirs-When ! Q 30 many Of
my poor comrades coming home look
ing At only for a hospital cot, I give
thanks to Paine's celery compound
for the fact that 1 went through my
enlistment without any DOCTORS medi-
cine, and am to-day even healthier
than when I went to Chickamauga. /
firmly believe that this good health Is
due to my using Paine's celery COM

Democracy.

=E
E. W. Stephens in Columbia Herald.
The Democratic party stands now,
as 1t always has, for justice and lib.
erty, economy and conservatism. 1t
has proven that 1t can be trusted. It
a point to three-quarters of a CEN
fury unstained by one crime against
the liberties of the people or one
offense against the public honor.
Leaving entirely out of sight its
national platform, or the issues OF the
tarif, Oh finances, or national expan-
sion, it can rest confidently upon its
record as made In Missouri "a an
invincible eason why it should re-
main In power here, and no citizen,
whatever his political creed, can deny
the justice Of its claim. To return
Missouri TO the Republicans would be
to set back the dials Of our progress
and inflict q stab to all OF our inter.
ests. Only one contingency can rem
der this possible. That lie Democratic
apathy. Hence the Importance OF
every citizen remembering the cleo
ton and casting his vote. The ex-
element of the war has for the time
diverted people from politics. The
Republicans appreciate this fact and
r straining every nerve to steal into
power as they did four years ago.
Let every Democrat do his duty.
Keep Missouri in the Democratic
column ~.

The Carroll Club auditorium was
packed last night, the occasion being the
Illustrated lecture, .The cathedrals 0!
Europe" delivered by Prof. Thomas II.
Cummings, OF Boston. The lecturer ap.
pcared here some time ago. his theme
being 'sT'he Passion Play" and he scored
another success last night.
Prof. Cummings Is q pa!!shed and clo-
qucnt lecturer. but a great part OF his
splendid entertainment. Is due to the eS.
cellent s,ereopticon views. They por-
trayed the worlds greatest cathedrals
almost perfectly. and bring out every
detail OF beauty and finish OF erch!tec-
last night by Mr.. c. c. Schmidt.
The audience was taken on n tour OF
the famous cathedrals from s.. Paul's
IN London, 10 ST. Peters In Rome. Eng
land was first visited, showing st.
Paul's, Canterbury. York, Salisbury and
others. In France, among others were
Notre Dame, In Paris, and Amieus and
Rouen. Strasburg and Cologne cathe-
drals were the German cathedrals
chosen, and In Spain, Burgos and Sc
Vile. The 1tallan cathcdrals afforded
the lecturer an eloquent theme. and
among the many beautiful ones depleted
were those at Milan, Genoa, Florence
and st. Peters, at Rome.
Tho early Gothic and Renaissance
styles OF architecture predominated, and
were dwelt upon at some length by Prof.
Cummings. The cathedral OF Cologne,
occupied six centuries In It's erection.
