itis Good News.

All Miseourisns who take pride IN
their State will rejoice at the news
that a creditable State exhibit at the
Omaha Exposition is now assured.
At one time it looked very much
as if Missouri was to be unrepresent-
ed at that exposition-a happening
which would have been deplorabls
in it's reflection upon the Empire
State Of the Middle West and the
fifth state in the Union. Fortunately,
however, under the strenuous efforts
of the Missouri State Commission
for the Omaha Exposition, there has
been boom in subscriptions during
the past two weeks, and the official
ann nouncement is now made that the
exhibit is assured.
It is also stated that no effort will
be spared to mako this exhibit from
Missouri better than that from any
other state, and the Commissioners
feel confideat that this will be done.
1t is in order, therefore, for loyal
Missourians to rejoice that their
imperial commonwealth will not be
cons picuous by its absence from the
Omaha Exposition and that it will
more than hold it's own there. Also
il is well to remember that TIE
thanks of the entire State are due
to the commissioners themselves
whose enthusiasm, pertinacity ano
State pride have accomplished sc
much for the assured success Of the
undertaking,-Republic.

no tyro as a soldier, for she was a
member Of the famous Cuban anna
zona, and was a bearer of dispatches

mother and husband were assasslnat
sd and of the seven children she has
borne six were ruthlessly slaughter
ed by the Spsniards. Her first born,
vet mere child, is with General
Gomez, who was lifetime friend OF
the father, and is guardian of the
boy. Mrs. Maceo is somewhat Grip
pied from wounds she has recsived
ia her soldering. She says she can
ride much better than che can walk,
and will be perfectly able to ride
with her regiment. She was shot
no less than three times while ssrv'
ing as dispatch baarer, and was
cut across the back with matchete,
but seems as anxious to return to
the battle ground as il it were fes
tival Her father was q republican
and a man of advanced ideas. He
took part in the ter years war. He
taught his daughter the use of arms
from childhood, saying that as
heaven had not given him a son ht
must make soldier of the girl. Ht
was himself assassinated by politica
murderers when the ten years wa
vas over Mrs. Maceos mother wa
killed ut the hour of her daughter
, birth. She herself has been dragged
through Havana street with rop
, about her neck, and her life spares

Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder r
troubles as men. The womb is situated
hack of and close to the bladder, and for
that reason any distress, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys
back. bladder or urinary passage is often
bv mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble OF some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty tour hours; sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need docloring. It you have
pain or dull achirg in the back, pass
water too frequently OF scantY supply,
with srnarting or burning-these are also
convincing proof of kidney trouble. II
you have doctored without benefit, try
DR. KiImer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy. The mild and the ex
traordinarY effect will surprise Yon. Il
stands the highest tor its wonderful
cures. II You take medicine You should
take the best. At druggists Fifty cents
and one dollar. You max have sample
