Cure for Elephantiasis.

The Venezuelan Herald announces
that the natives on the frontier of Ven
ezuela and Colombia have discovered a
cure for elephantiasis in an herb called
tuatua, or frailejou. This dreadful dis
ease has hitherto been regarded as in-
durable. and If there be any truth in
the report from Calcutta, which is
vouched for by a priest, the information
may prove of great value to the medical

As Done In other States

EIQn TIE JcAtIhuH Allf lEtNdnB.
The State Tribune finds, after thor
ough investigation Of the question,
that there is bus n state in the
American Union which dominates its
Democratic candidates by the general
state primary plan proposed in Mis-
souri,. This state is South Carolina,
and the plan there was adopted
through the efforts of United States
Senator Tillman. In two or three
states, notably Georgia and Missis-
sippi,delegates to the state convention
7 elected by county primaries. In
several other states, as in Missouri,
each county lie permitted to select its
delegates in the manner 1t thinks best.
Kansas, Minnesota, California and
other states, have a primary election
law, but have not employed it to any
extent. Utah wants a primary cleo
ton law because its committeeman
say the i1adies do not like conyen-
tions." With these exceptions, the
Democrats of every state nominate
their state candidates in open eonven-
ton. Forty-iour out OF forty-hv en-
ploy this method, and at least forty Of
this number express satisfaction.
This striking unanimity Of opinion
and practice should give pause to
those Missourians who would make q
radical innovation In the method of
making party nominations in this
state. The combined experience of
the Democracy Of the United States
lie against them.

TIOE OF THE PEOPLE.
Attention is Naturally Excited When
Anything is Praised by People
Whom We Know.

A thing that stands high In the es-
timation OF the public, and which lie
especially recommended by Missouri
people, naturally excites our stten-
tion more than II our own people did
not praise the article. Such . thing
is going on right here in Missouri
every day; people are prsising Nor

There is no humbug, no deception;
they DO positively cure and we fur
nish the evidence.
We refer you to J. @. Kaufman, the

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower stIll has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought Of using any
thing else for indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of appendicitis, ner-
vous p~rostration or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation OF
undigested food, regulate the action
Of the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses OF Green's
August Flower, in liquid form,to make
you satisfied there's nothing SER
ious the matter with you. Sample
bottles at J. F. Llewellyn's drug store.

stomach to test, free, q new and COM
plete treatment for these disorders.
DR.. Miles Is well known az 3 leading

ials from prominent people will be
sent upon request which prove the

successful physicians.
Col. E. B. Spileman, of the 9th

Diego, Gal, says: CDR. Miles per-
sonal treatment has worked wonders
in my sons cas- when all else had
failed. / had employed the best
medical talent and had spent $4,000
In 50 doing. / believe he is q wonder
ful specialist. / consider It my duty
to recommend him." "You cured me

ILLUMINATED FIVE STATES
The Great Iowa Meteor, Which Fell in
1875, Casta Flash Of Light to
Mexico, Nc.

There are many people who are
leonid mad now, and as mathematic-
al astronomers tell us that the show
er of leonids has been announced q
year too soon, something has to be
done to sppease the above mentioned
mad men. Possibly the following will
have some effect in that direction:
]. F. Llewellyn told this morning Of
a meteor which fell in Iowa county,
Iowa, at 1920 O'Clock on the night Of
Feb. 70, 1876. The meteor fell with 8
horrible conglomeration of sounds and
when it hit the ground the earth
moved as IL actusted by an earth
quake. The southeastern portion Of
Iowa was made as light as day and an
Indifferent light was thrown over Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Wisconsin and Mlnne-
sofa.
Over 800 pounds Of fragments of the
meteor were found in lows county
alone and experts at that time said
the meteor must have weighed near
5000 pounds. Following is a short
description OF the meteor, which ap-
peared in the Popular Science Month
ly dated May, 1875:
"The great Iowa meteor consist ed
of an elongated, pear shaped mass oil
the most dazzling wilderness. The
bulk OF this mass was about 1000 feet
long and 400 feet in diameter. The
narrow white tail was about 400 feet
long and 40 feet in diameter.n

The Noted ex-Callawegian Attacked
by Captain W. Il. Wheeler in the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel

NEW YoRK, Nov. liam exciting
encounter took place tonight In the
Waldorf Astoria between Col. Joseph
&. Hickey. OF Missouri, aud Capt. W.
II. Wheeler, q retired officer of the
United States army. Proprietor BOldt
was called IN O. referee and won the
bout on points by eiecting the beIig-
erents from the hotel.
Colonel Hickey, who has gained
fame AZ an inventor Of seductive
mixed beverage bearing bis name,
and IN other directions since he left
Galloway county, appears 10 be the
~aggrisyed party, although he precipi-
tated The trouble BY denounclng Capt.
Wheeler In unmeasured terms n con

ton In which they had hesa lol.ly

cnsed him Of swinallug hin n . seosk
transaction.
Capt. Wheeler deniso the Epzta-
ton, and Col Hickey expressed ssrs-
Gus doubts OF his vsraeity. TssrsSpez
Wheeler Jumped to hls fsstSz6 struck
out with both hands Col Hickey,
who lie an invalid, proved Al easy
victim, and 8 blow in the face felled
him to the foor. In an instant the
cafe, and, in fact, the entire hotel, was
in an uproar. Walters rushed to the
rescue OF Colonel Hickey and fell
upon Captain Wheeler before he could
infies further punishment upon his
adversary. Kicking and paving the
air, the Captain was borne to an ante
room and held in leash by the en-
ployes.
Colonel Hickey was assisted to his
feet in a somewhat dishevelIed condi-
ton. He made an effort to reach Capt.
Wheeler, but was prevented by
friends.
George q. Boldt, proprietor of the
Waldorf Astoria, arrived on the scene
at this moment, backed up by his fac
totum, the only Oscar, Upon learning
the cause Of the trouble Mr.. Boldt
ordered the belllgerents to quit the
hotel forthwith, and they were escort
cd to the street by Detectives Becker
and Brown of the Central Office.
Colonel Hickey was not much hurt
and vas able to walk to the Hoffman
House, where he resides lie insisted
that he had been justified in denounc-
ing Captain Wheeler and indicated
that be was not yet through with his
man.
The Captain did not appear to be
proud Of his attack upon Colonel
Hickey, but declared that no other
course was open to him. He had been
ontrageously attacked, he said, and
Colonel Hickey had invited a personal
encounter by d~enouncing him as a
liar. Beyond that Captain Wheeler
had nothing to cay.
