HENRY w. WOOD.

During the past few days a
number of the leading men of
Saline Township, Rails County
have said: See here Little Rails
wants 4 first class man for rep
resentative. Henry w. Wood
has the liability. the integrity
and the moral stamina TO fill
the bill. What is to keep us
from sending him up?" We
agree with those parties. He
has the ability 10 make good
one, The integrity to make an
incompatible one, and the sta
nina strength, will of purpose
to do the right thing by the
people. That being the case
we throw the question back &c
our questioners and ask what is
the matter with sending Henry
up and will answer by saying
nothing and we believe that Sa
line and the county will echo
Nothing. The largest ques
ton to solve is will he consent
to be sent up.

One of the important things
that influenced the Burlington
people to put on the Nebraska

st. Louis 9: 05 P. NJ, is the fact
that it would be splendid fast
daylight train for the benefit of
Missouri people living along the

Dear Sirs: We quote to. days

made expressly for the flour mill
trade; see enclosed circular for

trust the low quotations, the extra

after advising the miller to
use from 10 to Is per cent. of the
adulterant, the circular says:
in using hourine az a substi-
tute, especially in the lower
grades, they are brought out in
color at least two grades thereby,
enabling the miller also to obtain
on the particular grade from Is
cents to 80 cents per barrel more
with the mixture than without.
For all southern trade flourine is
used very extensively, as all
ilours are judged by their colors,
enabling the miller to produce
winter flour and meet competition
by using our product
"Another letter was found of
fering mineralite-which is de-
rived from feldspar-to the trade
for the adulteration of flour.
This is nothing more dangerous
than white clay, but the idea of
eating clay is not very attractive.

For an Editor 10 Recommend
Patent Medicines?

From Sylvania Valley News, Brcvard, y. c.
Ii may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right ia
publicly recommend any of the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which Hood
the market, yet as a preventive of sUf-
ferinS we feel it Il duty to say a good
word for Chamberiain's Colic, Cholera
and DiarrhOea Remedy. We have
known aud used this medicine in our
family fOi twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
n dose Of this remedy would save
hours Of suffering while a physician
is awaited We do not believe in de-
pending implicitly on any medicine
for Il cure, but we do believe that il a
bottle of Chamberlain's DIarrhOea
Remedy were kept on hand and ad-
ministered at the inception of an at
tack mnch suffering might be avoided
and In very many cases the presence
of physician would not be required.
At least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For sale

MORE LIGHT ON THE ADUL.
ITERATION OF FLOUR.

In Saturdays issue of the EN-
TERPRISE we spoke of the ten
dency to establish roller flour
mills in this State, and incident
ally mentioned the fact that it
was move in the right direction.
We give our readers further facts
on this subject as compiled by
the State newspaper. We are
constrained to ask the question,
are we eating dirt or flour?
The adulteration of flour is
perhaps more general than the
great majority of our people i'm.
1"ine. 1t is estimated that in
1897 five or six million barrels of
aduIterated flour were sold in
tins country, and the increase
siuce that time has doubtless been
very iarge. Most of this adul,er-
atrd flour, it is said, is sold in the
southern States. The adulter
alton is charged to the smaller
mills, the supposition being that
IT," large concerns take care of
the foreign trade, which is too
important to be tampered with {;
hni this may or may not be the
case. The matter has been under
investigation by congressional
committee, which has succeeded
in disclosing good many dam
aging facts.
"As long as wheat flour was
adulterated with corn flour there
could be no objection so far as
injury to the consumers health
Is concerned. although the buyer
did not get the worth of his
money. In fact, it might be bet
ter did people eat corn meal more
than wheat flour. even the pure
article. But when a man pays
for wheat flour he wants and
should have the unadulterated
stuff.
"One of the chief adulterants
nsed is flourine, which is pro-
nounced to be very injurious,
having no bone forming ingre-
dients and containing objection
able mineral matters. Prof. Sny.
der. a Minnesota chemist, says
that were a man to feed on pure
tlOurine alone he would soon die
for want of the proper vital nutri-
cuts. The chief chemist of the
agricultural department reports
that "A 'labOring man would have
to eat $50 pounds of this nourine
10 obtain sufficient protein for an
average days work. 1t has been
established that sulphuric acid,
poison, is extensively used in the
nanuiacture of ilourine, which is
therefore not a mere harmless

We feel that we may not i'm
properly allude at this time to
certain convictions that we have
heretofore freely expressed con-
cernlng Mr.. Neill and his prophe-
cies. 1t is exceedingly unfortu-
nate for any one business that
the views of any one man have
come to exercise "A predominant
Influence over its various fuctua-
tions aud vicissitudes. We do not
think we exaggerate in stating
that such is the influence exer
clsed In the cotton trade bv Mr..
Nelll. In some way-which is not
altogether explained by the fact
that on several occasions Mr..
Neill has been very lucky in his
crop guesses-enormous weight
is attached to Mr.. Neill's utter
ances. When 1t is known that he
ls about to issue a circular, the
trade in cotton is quieted and ru-
mors as to the probable character
of the circular become thick as
snowtlakes. If he predicts a small
crop there is an excited rush of
prices upwards, and If he pre-
diets a big crop there is a slump.
Millions of dollars hang upon his
words, and Of course something
besides modification is felt when
these words prove to be mistakes.
Now, while we wish to state
most enphaticslly that we have
never heard a syllable spoken
against MIR. Nelll's integrity aud
that we believe him to be an ab
solutely honest man, yet 1t is OBJ
vious that any such position as
he occupies must be very uncom-
fortable for an honest man to be
in. ltcertalnly imposes upon him
strenuous obligation of reticence

one would think that Mr.. Neill

estimates or would issue them as
rarely as possible and at such
late dates In the season that they

JOHNNY BULLS RELIEVED.
Have Positive Evidence Contra
dieting Stories of Disaster.

London, Nov. 6.-An immense
weight was lifted from the public
mind by brief official dispatch
published this morning by which
continental stories of "A disaster at
Ladysmith were proved to be
false. Although the dispatch it.
self relieved anxiety is more timed
in another direction as was in
dicated. General White, instead
of sitting tight and acting wholly
on the defensive, persists in max
ing sortles and risking another
Nicholsons disaster.
The movement Of the Beers

awaken the British fear that they

Neill's Estimate Again.

A very pretty controversy is
going on just now between Mr..
Henry Neill, the famous cotton
expert of New Orleans, and Mr..
John Hyde, the chief statistician n
of the Government Department
of Agriculture. Mr.. Neill is east
ly the best known and most i'm
portant private cotton expert in
the country, and his views may
be said to be controlling upon the
English buyers of this staple. He
has been out for several mon tbs
with prediction of another
enormous cotton crop, based
chiefly upon the favorable wealth
er which, he declarses, the grow
ing crop has received. The data
of this character and the general
crop conditions reported by the
Government are not nearly as fa-
vorable as that given by Mr..
Nelll, although the Government
has made no definite estimate of
the crop, AS Mr.. Neill has. A long
letter has been published. writ.
ten by Mr.. Hyde TO firm of cot
ton merchants here, controvert-
ing in detail Mr.. Neill's state
ments, chiefly those referring to
the amount of rainfall in the cot
ton belt. TO this Mr.. Neill has
replied in "A second proclamation.
People lii the cotton trade are
naturally greatly Interested in the
dispute. If the crop turns out to
be short one there will be big
rise IN prices, while if there is
another bumper crop prices will
probably recede. From the fact
that the price of cotton has risen
decidedly already we infer tha:
the general opinion Of the trade
leans in Mr.. Iyde's favor. Mr..
Hyde receives support also in the
movement of the crop from the
plantations to the coast and inte.
rlor cities, It being much below
that Of last year. On the other
hand. Mr.. NelIl and his friends
maintain that an immense guam.

and that the Southern planters
are holding it back for more
