Physician and Surgeon, Mexico, Mo

No system of medicine has made
such rapid strides in the past century
as has homeopathy and the bulk of
the people all over the land are be-
coming free from the inherited preju-
dice against the different schools of
medicine. 1t is an undoubted fact
that In our larger centers, where cul-
lure and education r more advanced,
homeopathy has made the greatest
progress. While in the interior of
the State of Missouri its progress has
been slower, still, in the last few
years, it has secured universal recog-
milton. As one of our governors once
said, referring to this school of medi-
cine, "We can appreciate a system of
medicine that Toes not make the
human system a store-house for bad
tasting and bad-smelling drugs"
Mexico has kept pace with the larger
cities in adopting this school of medi-
cine, and in the ranks of its practition-
ers we have DR.. T. H. Winans, the
subject of our sketch. DIR. Winans ia
a native of New York AMI after re-
ceiving his education entered the
Chicago Homeopathy Medical Col.
lege, from which he graduated in 1888.
He then came to Mexico and began
the practice of his profession. In the
ten years that the doctor has beer
with US he has made rapid strides into
| public favor with his patients and the
| public. The doctor does a genera
| practice and his skill in relieving the
sufferer, his kind and sympathetic
manner and a record for honorable
dealing, have built him up a practice
that extends from one end of the
county to the other. This school o.
medicine Is destined to make greaf
advances in the favor of the people il
the near future, and iu is to skillful
capable men, who, like DR.. Winans
have labored patiently and earnestly
| that the credit will be due.

to the practice of law. In 1890 he
was married to Mise Bevie Coil, of
Rails county. In 1898 he formed q
partnership with W. A. Edmonston,
the irm being known as Edmonston &
Cullen. They have done a most lucra-
tive practice, covering every court in
the country, and have also appeared
in the Inter State Commerce. Court,
The firm do q general Law practice,
and Mr.. Cullen, in addition to his
splendid record in civil practice, has
acquired an enviable position as a
criminal lawyer, having been con-
nected with every capital case in the
county, except two, aimee he COM
menced practice; and is, IN fact, rec
ognized as the Nestor of criminal jur-
isprudence. In 1896 be was elected
President of the Bryan Club of Mex
leo, q position he occupies ut present.
He is recognized as a master of rhet-
ORIG, a terse and pungent speaker, and
that he has acquired as a reputation in
this respect that is more than local is
evidenced by the fact that, In coniunc-
ton with Gov. Altgeld, he addressed
over 20, 900 people. His reputati n is
that OF a careful and capable lawyer,
and he has handled some OF the most
intricate questions coming before the
courts. He is a Christian gentleman,
and in his public and private life has
been q friend of the weak and op-
pressed, a defender of the right and a
determined opponent of whatever ia
wrong in theory or practice.

John ID. Orear,
City Attorney of Mexico.

We do not intend TO enter here on any
disquisition OF what law is, or what it is
not but it has been defined by some
n as 'the plalnest case in many words
entangling.' While undoubtedly that
definition is frequently applied to 1T by
many who vainly imagine themselves
capable of interpreting the law, it is
nevertheless true that in every city
there are some lawyers who impress the
community in which they live Al being
possessed of the happy combination OF
natural ability and acquired knowledge.
In Mexico there are many who might be
cited as good examples of this, but in
this sketch it is proposed to confine the
illustration to John d. Orear, ESQ.,
Democratic nominee for City Attorney
of Mexico. The gentleman is a de,
scendant of a noted family. John D,
Orear, the great grandfather of the sub
iect OF this sketch, was a soldier Of the
Revolution, enlisting from FauquieI
county, Va, in 1776. He was one OF
the famous 100 picked men who went
under command of George Rogers
Clark through the wilderness and cap
tured the British garrison at Kaskas-
kia, Ill. His son, John ID. Orear, 9
listed in the Mexican war from Mont
gomery county, KY, and served through
the war as a captain. Among his sons
were B. F. Orear and John ID. Orear, the
latter being killed while IN the service
of the Confederate army in the battle al
Corinth, Miss. John d. Orear, the sub
ject Of this article, Is a o Of b. F

Enterprise" lisa good trade for any
house to adopt that a shown the

lie with the success that has accrued
to the above gentleman in his long
business career, The attractive mod
ern general merchandise store, with
its thousands of beautiful and appetite
ing articles for sale-some to wea and
some to eat, Is one of the most impor-
tant factors in the trading cente OF IN
agricultural community. Martinsburg
is fortunate in this respect, in possess
ing the extensive up-to-date store
conducted by Oscar Krieger. This
business was established in 1888 In O
commodious storeroom measuring 24x
100 feet and occupying two 1eors.
The stock consists of a complete line
of fancy and staple g~roceries, dry
goods, boots and shoes, queensware,
clothing, ladies' and gents furnishing
goods, etc. The amount, variety and
quality of the goods carried in stock,
the attractive manner in which they
are displayed, the courteous attention
shown to patrons and the careful
painstaking manner in which Gus
toners are served by the proprietor
and his two assistants, warrant US In
saying that this lie q place where peo-
pie car always trade satisfactorily and
get just what they ask for. Mr.. Oscar
Krieger, the proprietor, has been In
this com Immunity for fifteen years, being
previously located in st. Louis. Ener-
getic and enterprising, he is a citizen
OF which Martinsburg may well be
proud. He is a self made man and,
from q small beginning, has by industry
risen to his present position. Having
plenty Of capital, he trades in almost
anything and, whether buyer OF seller,
deals honorably.

Orear, a prominent citizen of this
county, and Margaret G.. Orear, whose
maiden name was Bartlett, she being a
direct descendant OF Josiah Bartlett,
n of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence.
Young Orear has been practlcing law
for four years and by his close applica-
ton and energy IS rapidly gaining sue
cess. He filed out an unexpired term
of five months as Prosecuting Attorney
of this county under appointment by
Governor Stone and last week, after a
hard fight, won the nomination on the
Democratic ticket for the office of City
Attorney of Mexico.
Mr.. Orear was born and reared in this
county is a Democrat and stands
squarely upon the Chicago platform for
b%imetalllsm, which was shown in 1896,
when be rendered such valuable aid to
his party by assisting in the organiza-
ton of the Democratic forces In this
county. Honorable, loyal and faithful
to his party, he is a sample Of the men
who make politics what it was intended
they should be-pure and honorable.
With John d. Orear as City Attorney,
the corporate interests of Mexico Will be
well-represented IN court. The innocent
will surely be protected and the guilty
punished, if ability, impartiality and q
thorough knowledge OF legal lore can

O. Hit. Attorney at Law. Mex
leo. Mo.

The progress, rise and standing of
a state a well be guaged by the
character of its bar, as from its ranks,
more freqently thai any other pro
fession, are selected the men who fill
highest public stations in the service
of the country. Its members spring
from no privileged class, but from the
people whose aims, sentiments and
aspirations they share. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that the life of a law
yer ia one of ease, for while 1t is true
the profession enacts no physical
labor, still the law is a jealous master,
and brooks no rivals, and he who
would win distinction must spend bis
days and nights in unceasing toll.
Among the members of the Mexico
bar who are worthy of mention in this
review, is Mr.. o. Hit, IN subject of
our sketch. This gentleman is a ma
tive of the "Blue Grass" State and,
after attending the public schools and
going to college, he took a course
at the Missouri University. He then
entered the Law Department of the
Kentucky University at Lexington,
from which he graduated in 1877. Lo-
| eating in Mexico the same year, he
began the practice of his profession
and later was elected city attorney, q
position he held for two terms. In 1885,
he moved to Trinidad, Col, where he
remained until the end of 1895, when
he returned to Mexico. While ir
Trinidad he was elected district at
| torney on the Democratic ticket
serving a three years term. Mr.
| Hit has always been a firm support
er of the Democratic party and evel
ready to work In the ranks for the
advancement of the party's INFER

lawyer Is we'll known and his careful

this business was begun in a room
measuring sx10 feet, its vast progress
is at once apparent. An average OF -
assistants are employed in the factory
and three regular travellers are kept
on the road, while agents are main
tanned in all prominent centers. The
proprietor, MI. N. M. Friedman, is q
native of Germany, but has resided in
the United States nearly thirty years.
Nh. Friedman is not made of the stuff
that waits for business to turn up, but
is continually in search of new fields
to conquer, and everything about his
factory and his methods of doing bus
mess are strictly up-to-date, and he
asks no better opportunity to market
his goods than that of being In compe-
tition with other manufacturers. A
man of considerable executive ability,
shrewd judgment and energy, he is to
be found at his desk early and late,
directing the operation of his bust
ness. Mr.. Friedman is a director of
the Martinsbnrg bank and takes con-
siderable interest in the welfare of the
community IN which he resides. A
prominent feature of this undertaking
is a fine illustrated catalogue, which is
issued annually and contains samples
of all the latest designs, etc.

"Eat, drink and be merry, for to-
morrow We may die" We do not
know exactly who wrote the forego-
ing, but it certainly contains q
world of sense; and on it n could
base a very excellent sermon. Ii
does not mean that n should eat
and drink to excess or debauchery,
else the words ''be merry would not
have been added. 1t simply means
that one should crafty his appetite in
q moderate way from day to day,
as when the morrow of death comes
there will be no appetite to crafty.
Among the many things which de-
light the appetite of the people from
every nation are fine old WHISTLES,
choice wines, deliciously cool beer,
fragrant cigars, etc. All these things
are to be found in abundance In the

Physician and Surgeon.

The regular school of medicine is
the Oldest in the world to-day and has
ever since its existence led all others.
1t numbers among its members some
of the most skillful physicians and
surgeons. They are liberal and pro-
gressive body of highly intelligent
gentlemen and are always willing and
anxious to adopt any new discovery
that will either aid them or bene-
fit their patients. They are,
with Justice, prejudiced against the
blatant claims of ignorant, unframed
persons, who, in their ignorance,
loudly proclaim that they are the only
wise men in the world and possess the
elixir of life, but who, as a matter OF
course, fail to maintain it in practice.
DIR. E. 8. Cave is one Of the leading
representatives of the regular school
of medicine in Audrain county. He
was born in Boone county, Mo. He
attended the public school and later
took a course at the Missouri State

which he graduated in 1884, and in the
same year he began the practice OF

took a post graduate course IN the
