Mr.. EdttOr-Last Friday was a high
day in this section. The closing ex-
ercises of Concordia College took
place that day. They were very en-
tertaining, consisting of we'll prepared
essays by the young ladies; orations
by the young men; music by select
band; highly amusing comic enter
tainment in the afternoon.
Mr.. G. w. Kelvey spoke on the sub
ject, George Washington; E. T. Sim
mons, The Herves of Tennessee; Jas
Huffman. Our Country; G. A. Shelley.
North Carolina in the Revolution; w.
c. Simmons. Davy Crockett and the
Alamo.
Then followed Rev. Thomas Lord,
of the NJ. Z. Church, South, with one
of the solidest and most sensible adj
dresses ever heard by the large and
intelligent audience. Afterward Hon.
Joel Hines of oratorical fame then
gave us one of his characteristic
speeches. The enjoyment and the
order throughout were frst-class. Mr.
Chas. McGhee, Prof. Hovis, j. l.
Bradshaw and Miss Verda Wagner
furnished the music with violins.
guitar, organ and voices. This too
was highly enjoyed.
The young pedagogues of this COM
munity have all secured schools for
the fall.
Mr.. j. L. Bradshaw of Tennessee,
son Of Col. J. A. Bradshaw of the 18th
Tenn. Cav, and nephew of Prof. Wag-
ner, has come to adopt Grand Old
Missouri as his State. He will make
his mark.
Mr.. J. L. Hickman is farming like
an old residenter. He has planted 40
acres in corn.
Many visitors. too numerous to men,
ton, were here at the close of school.
By Mr.. McKinley's tardiness, our
troops and the yellow fever will both
reach Cuba at the same time, thanks
to the Spanish bond holders. Many a
poor soldier will be buried in Cuba on
this account. RoSELLE.

In announcing my candidacy for the

so long made the State Senate its camp
will he be an intelligent, active and
aggressive advocate of measures dawn
in the interest of the whole people Of
the State, an especial advocate of
measures for the benefit of Southeast
Missouri. and particularly regardful of
the interests of his own constituents?
There are many minor questions that
might be considered, but | think that
this one is really the only one of first
Importance to be asked in the Seua-

that | would make to it, so far as it

by quotation from an editorial writ

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism

From the Fairhaven IN. Y.) Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
bnt he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
sician he went to the store and secured
bottle of it. His wife did not ap-
prove of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at
first, but nevertheless applied the Balm
thoroughly and in an hours time was
able to go to sleep. She now applies
it whenever she feels an ache or pain
and finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her as much good.

modern two-horse cultivaters don't get
forty bushels now, and then this is
another thing that should not be over

The Good Book says somewhere.
Work no evil to thy neignbor." "
There are in every community men
who have families to support that in
the old day, could find employment on
any of the farms, and could earn good
wages and support their families in
comfort. But as soon as the mowers,
reapers, and all sorts of labor-saving
machinery came in use it cut off that
source of supply the men used out OF
work. Look over the world to-day
and you will find hundreds and thous-
ands-yes and millions-of men and
men that just exist. No money to buy
meal of victuals or decent clothes to
wear, who would gladly work if there
was any work to do. l will venture to
say that one-half of the people of the
world don't get a good square meal OF
victuals once week. Why? Because
nobody wants their labor. Why? Be-
cause we use machinery. l can re-
member when we had no paupers and
no tramps. Why? Because every
body could get something to do. And
there was no everproduction in those
days, for the people that did the work
had money to buy food and that made
home market for all the surplus. If
every man, woman and child that is
old enough to work could get labor
and good fair wages, the United States
would not have a bushel of wheat to
ship abroad. 1t would all be needed
for food at home. Perhaps some one
says, 'look at the number of folk that
find employment on the railroads and
in the machine shops" Yes, now
figure the number that find work
there, count up the idle ones, and see

No sir, as old Sam Slick said when
he was selling clocks all through Nova
Scotia, and he would charge sixty and
seventy dollars for a clock, ''that cost
five dollars at the factory" and the
landlords would complain OF hard
times, and he would ask, What's the
matter with the times?" He said the
"Blue Noses" as the Nova Scotians
are called, said, its Parliament; Par
lament puts all the money in their own
pockets, and don't give the people any
change" They did not lay any of the
blame to that sixty dollar clock that
they could have done without. No,
l am not an old fogy, but l have
lived long enough to get my eye teeth
cut, and to see some of the leaks that
are all the time going on over every
farm in the country. Don't let us
lay all the blame on 'parliament, "
but look after those leaks that are 60
ing on all over the farm, every day,
every hour, and quit buying every
thing that has got coat of red paint
on it, and go back to old times ways
now, aud take the money that we pay
out every year and every month and
every day, for something that we can
do without, and hire those that live
right next door to US to help US do our
work and pay them for their labor.

Obituary.

Died-at Sabula, Mo-, 1898, little
Freddie, son of James and Lizzie Hen
derson, aged years, month and 16
days.
During the short period OF his life
he was smiling and happy, the cher
ished plant of happy home. But
alas! how suddenly our earthly joys
can be turned to mourning. Itpleased
God to sever the delicate cord that
bound little Freddie to this earth, and
angels have borne his little spirit
home, leaving the little feet, like the
first rose of the morning, still wet with
tender dew, plucked by some wanton
hand from its parent stem. With
aching hearts and fearful eyes we have
borne thee to the silent church yard,
and careful hands lowered thy little
coffin to its restin G place and covered
it with the sod of the valley, and the
silent tomb has swallowed up that
which was so dear to us. May God
comfort us! for all we have lost in
thee. Angels have borne thee in tri-
umph to the bosom of Him that has
said, ''Suffer little ones to come unto
me anu IOFDlu Gueu uO5. lOT Vi SuCA 10
the kingdom of heaven"
Little Freddie, you have left us,
But we viii not weep for thee,
For we know thy little body
Is from harm and sorrow free.
Yes, our darling, how we miss you!
Your gentle voice no longer we'll hear,
But you've gone to dwell with angels
Where there is no pain nor fear.
We will meet you, gentle Freddie,
Over the golden shore,
There to dwell with thee forever,
Where pain and parting are no more!
A FRIEND.

workers OF the lobby are never partial
to any party unless that party is heav-
lily in the aseendancy. Indeed they
rather pride themselves on driving a
parti-colored team of Democrats and
Republicans hltched up in the same
kind of harness, and they buy just
enough of each sort TO make safe ma
jority. If the legislature is to register
the will of the people of this State on
it's statute books hereafter, the State
Senate must be disiufected, purified,
now constituted, it is bi-ennually pack
ed with the hireling agents of soulless
corporations. who think it sufficient
honor to do the dirty work expected of
them. if only they may trudge back in
to merited obscurity with their pock-
cts filled with the price of their own
dishonor.
As regards corporations, l wish to
say emphatically that l am in no wise
opposed 10 their formation, provided
their purpose be lawful. am not hos
tile to railroads as such, and would be
glad to see their mileage in Missouri
doubled and trebled. But after corpo-
rations, combinations of capital and
personal force and influence have been
formed, whatever may be their osten-
sible object, l am most decidedly op-
posed to their attempting to seize the
reins of government from the hands of
the people. or by bribery, intimidation,
or sly artifice, worked by the profes-
sional politician or the crafty lobbyist,
attempting to negative in our State and
national legislature every measure in
tended to give back to the people some
small part of the vast benefits that they
have conferred upon the corporations.
Corporations are the creatures OF law.
1t is from organized society that they
draw their vast revenues and it is but
just that they should turn back into the
public treasury tair compensation for
the benefits conferred upon them. In
brief, corporations are intended to be
the servants of the people and not their
masters, and when they assume the
role required by all the principles of
justice, equity and propriety, for one

ton and contribute to their prosperity
in every possible way. But so long as
haunt the lobbies of our legislature with
their INSCRIPTIONS agents, and seek to
debauch and degrade the ballot in our
primaries, conventions and general
elections, so long must they be reck-
oned as public enemies, whose inso-
lence must be checked, whose aggress-
i've tmpertinence must be met by stern
rebuke, and whose meddlesome inter
ference with the making and execution
of law must be made Infamous in the
eyes of the people.
Whether l, or some other one, will
best represent and guard the interests
of the people of this district in these
and other respects, is question for
the people themselves to determine.
Ny record, extending over years, and
written in many parts of Southeast
Missouri, is open to investigation. l

for what l think is for the general
good, and abide the verdict of the peo-
pie in my course. r. F. CHEW.

exposures to the little folks, and there

NEWS AND.VIEWS,

The political campaign in Kansas is to
be conducted on religious basis. Ex-
Senator PETER, the hirsute statesman,
has been nominated by the prohibition
lists on platform which regards civil
government as an instrument of God,
recognizes the Lord Jesus Christ as
King of Kings, and declares that the
management OF civil affairs should be
conducted in harmony with His laws and
His spirit" To be even with PETER the
republicans have nominated Sunday
school superintendent as their candidate
for govern +; and, not to be behind the
others, the "lewd democracy" are look
ing around for candidate of like plety
In such campaign the Philadelphia
Record wants t. know what chance will
there be for the heretics and sinners of
Kansas?
In view of the fact that 10000 Ameri-
can soldiers are bound for the Philip
pines it is interesting, and scarcely Ieas-
surfing, to learn from an account of the
islands written by Jos. L. Maunix for
the Review of Reviews that the climate
is unusually severe and unhealthy, The
atmosphere is humid, and in the swampy
land If the interior especially there is
much malaria. The hottest season is
between the middle of March and the
middle of May, followed by rainy sea
sen of six months with alternating
showers and blistering sunshine. The
winter months are comparatively agree
able The mortality among Spanish
soldiers has been very great, fully % per
cent. of the 10000 men sent from Spain
to quell the rebellion of 1896 having died
from the effects Of the climate.
For some time past some of the pa
perS of Tennessee have been discussing
the war locust, or a peculiar specimen
of insect very much resembling the
Egyptian pest, which is said to wear
"W' on his wing whenever this country
is at war, and when all is peaceful the
letter is at once changed and the wing
becomes "P." Thursday Lamar Clay
OF Macon received letter from Mrs
Clay, who is spending some time in
Tennessee. In the letter was enclosed
one of the wings OF the queer insect.
Sure enough the wing showed the "W,"
which was perfectly plain 1t was
formed of ridges somewhat resembling
the ribs of oak leaves. The ridges were
| of just the proper length.

vices in the war IS rr. Henry Coursney,

TIE VAR REVENUE BILL.

The war revenue bill, which is now
law, is full of interest for every 5iti.
zen, and it is important to know the
main features of the measure as re-
ported by the conferees and passed in
its final form by both houses of con-
gress and signed by the president
The bill contains the following feat
ures:
A tax of one-qEarter of one per cent.
on the gross receipts of the Standard
Oil and Sugar Trust companies.
A stamp tax of one cent on sleeping
car tickets. An additional tax of 81
per barrel on beer, ale and porter.
The issuance of $500 100000 govern
ment bonds to bear interest at the rate
of per cent, and 500, 900 900 of Ger
tifcates of indebtedness.
An Inheritance tax,
\ proyi1ion for the coinage of the
seigniorage in the treasury at the rate
of 81, 100000 per month.
A tax of 10 cents per pound on all
teas imported into the United State i.
A tax on all adultered flour.
A tax on patent and proprietary
medicines.
1t is estimated that the measure in
its present form will yield a revenue of
over Sl50,0OO,OOO The bill is by no
means satisfactory to the bmetallists
OF the senate and house, but for some
of its best features 1.-THE country has to
thank them, since but for their course
the senate amendments embodying
such provisions as the taxes on trusts.
the Inheritance tax, the sleeping car
tax and the silver coinage clause would
not have been in the bill
The bond issue will be larger by
100000 900 than was provided for in
the original senate bill. Four hun
dred millions of bonds are authorized.
a compromise between the $500 ,OOO,-
900 proposed by the house and $780,
000,0 00authorized by the senate. Only
$200,OOO 600 will be issued Immediately
In the ten years before they can be re-
deemed they will have drawn SGO,OOO,-
900 in interest.
The vote on the measure was not at
any time along strict party lines. 1t
Is by no means satisfactory to either
party, by especially to the demo-
Gratis, but all realized the necessity for
prompt passage of some measure pro-
viding the sinews of war.
