How many young men and young women
are cut off Just as the future seems brightest
and.full of promise! They are taken away
By the disease which causes over One-sixth
Of all the deaths In the w0rld-the disease
which doctors call consumption. There is
absolutely no reason in the world why con-
sumption should be fatal-why 1t should be
even serious. 1t is disease of the blood,
and can be cured absolutely and always by
unrifying and enriching the blood. The
only exception to this is the case where the
disease has been neglected and improperly
treated until it is stronger than the body
until the body has become so weak as to
have lost the ability to recuperate. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will cure

NOT FRAUDULENT.
The Law Regarding Ballots "Fraudu-
lent in Part"

There has been considerable talk in
Mexico Tuesday in regard to Judge
McCune's name being on the ballots
printed for the whole county, when he
is only running for office In the East
ern district. Some claim it will make
the whole ballot fraudulent and that
the result will affect the State ticket
and Congressman. These statements
are both erroneous.
Section 467S of the election laws of
Missouri, says:
"Bsllot fraudulent in part-If a bal
lot should be found to contain a great
or number of names for any Office than
the number of persons required 10 ALI
such office, it shall be considered ss
fraudulent as to the whole of the
names designated to fill such office but
no further; but no ballot shall be con-
sidered fraudulent for containing a less
number of names than are authorized
to be inserted" (R. 8. 1879, s5500.)
From the above it will be clearly
seen that no office a possibly be af-
fected except that of County Judge,
and those who ought to know say that
the result in that contest will not bs
effected by the so-called error.
The late Supreme Judge G. B. Mac
farlane settled this matter In a deois'
sion in the case of Landlord vs.. Geb'
hart in the 100 Missouri, page 621.

DIED AT THE THROTTLE.
Engineer House, of the G. & A., Elk
pired in HIS Cab While the Train
Steamed On.

While the fast meat freight on the
Chicago & Alton Railroad was speed
ing swiftly toward Glendale, Is miles
east of Kansas City, yesterday after
noon, engineer Richard A. House,
well known in Mexico, sat dead In his
cab on engine No. so, his hand on the
throttle, his glazed eyes fixed ahead
on the track, a smile of peace on his
face.
How long he had been dead before
the fact was noticed by fireman John
Vardell, cannot be known. 1t may
have been 5, or even 10 minutes. The
fireman had not spoken to him for q
long time. He was busy below, be-
tween the coal bin and the fire boz.
An intuition, 1t seems, called his at
tention to Engineer House. He spoke
to him, but received no answer. The
body remained upright, the hand
steady, in spite of the rocking Of the
engine. He could not realize at first
| that a dead man held the throttle.
The train was a double-header, an6
he ran back and signaled the othel
engine, in charge of engineer Chris
| Addleman.
The train was brought to a stop JUS
outside Glendale. The body wac takeI
from the stand and a telegram sent K
Kansas City.
When the fast train pulled out o
the yards in the West Bottoms &C 3:3
O'Clock House was in the best o
spirits. AS usual, he laughed ant
joked with the train and work
men. He had been troubled will
heart disease for months, and had no
made regular runs lately.

Mexico, Mo-, lie q live town because
the people of the town are alive and
progressive. There are many evil
dences Of this; q of the most recent
is the move made by the merchants to
provide q suitable free hitching yard
for farmers teams. This is to be en-
closed with q high, tights board fence,
which will be q wind break and pro-
lection from two-lege,ed and four
legged pilferers. Facilities for watering
horses will be provided.
Farmers will doubtless regard this
hospitable provision as meaning that
they are to be welcomed In town BY
the Mexico business nen In many
instances, judging by the almost I'M
passible condition. Of roads leading
into town, the utter lack OF any &C.
commodations for teams, excepting q
the livery stable, or for the met, folk
while the women are trading, except
ing at the saloons, it would seem o
though country people were not want
| ed in towns. We know this is not thu
case, but effort should be made by tn
town people to make farmers feel tina
they have a right and interest In tn
town.
Why not enlarge upon the Mexic'
idea and provide g place where
farmer q take his wife and eat
lunch and one wait while the other ]
trading or transacting businessf Pro
vided with reading matter and . fe'
simple convenieuces, such accommo
dstions would cost but little 70 main
tain and pay the town well.
