MY BABY'S KISS

My baby's kiss is the sweetest thing
That the God Of Love as a gift can
bring.
1t comes from the lips like the crys-
tai dew
Dropped from The flowers on the
mountain-side,
And it means a love that is pure and
true,
And that peace and Joy in The
heart abide.
| would rather have that tiny Kiss
Than any other earthly bliss:
And to feel those hands on m5,

Brings me face to face with am nc

DECORATION DAY.

Several soldiers who have
answered the last roll call are
now peacefully sleeping in ST.
Judes cemetery. Some in the
sixties wore the blue, the 9th
ers the grey, but they now
sleep side by side. America is
now a united country and all
join in decorating the graves of
those who carried arms for the
union or for the lost cause.
Tuesday was Decoration day
and the graves of all soldiers
in st. Judes cemetery were
decorated by our citizens. Re-
marks were made by Dr. Hatch,
ED. NicosOn and Rev. Holiday
and appropriate music was rem.
dered. Our soldier dead are to
be honored. Below we give the
names Of the soldiers who are
at rest in St,Jude cemetery, but
are not able to state whether
they wore the blue or the grey.

DANGEROUS FAKES.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking
Powders Which Should be Ex-
posed.


There has recently been no,
ticed at some OF our grocery
stores what the exhibitors call
d ba king powder test. Two or
three girls, who it appears are
agents for an alum baking pow
der, distribute chocolate and
biscuit to the visitors, and then
pretend to show by some boil
ing test that pure cream CT tar.
tar baking powders contain
something which every woman
of intelligence knows they do
not.
1t does not need a chemist to
expose this trick. Cream of
tartar, which is the chief con-
stituent of the best aud most
wholesome baking powders, is
originally L clear. white crys.
tai: This is ground into a ine
creamy -four, in which form,
mixed with baking soda, it is
present ia the baking powder,
Cream of tartar when mixed
with water and boiled simply
returns to its crystalline form,
and that is all there is to the so
called test.
The matter Of special interest
TO the public is to know what
these people offer in place of
cream of tartar powders of we'll
known purity and established
reputation against which these
ISLANDERS are directed. They
are offering baking powder
which Official analysis have re-
peatedly shown is made from
cheap and inferior ingredients,
its chief constituent being alum,
Il drug so we'll recognized by
physicians and scientists as in
furious to health thac in MANI
countries it's use in bread is en-
tirely prohibited! So cheap
aud inferior are the ingredients
of this powder that it costs to
make less than three cents "a
pound. No prudent housewife
will knowingly put such stuff
as this into her food.
A suit for $4,000 damages
has recently been brought
against a Pittsburg dealer who
sold an article which injured
the health of the purchaser.
It's a question how far the
grocer's responsibility goes who
grants the use of his premises
for the sale of goods by decept-
i've practices. Certainly he can
not by so doing otherwise than
discredit his business methods
generally in the minds of his
patrons.

FOR The PEOPLE.

representative democrats
from all parts of our grand
America were in st. Louis last
Thursday. Early in the morn.
ing many were in the city and
every train running Ninto the
city increased the number of
followers of Jefferson in St.
Louis. There was a meeting of
the Democratic National Com.
mitteemen at 10 4. m. at which
70 states were represented.
While no formal action was
taken the issues were discussed.
Methods of raising a campaign
fund were talked over. Cor.
Bryan was present as proxy.
The conference requested Sena.
tor Jones to call a meeting OF
the committee for July 20, at
Chicago.
The antitrust dinner was
opened at 6 p. III. at the Collse.
um with all of the 1920 seats at
the tables taken. The audi
ence was admitted to the boxes,
dress circle and gallery and
nearly 5000 people were present
to hear the speaking. A thirty
piece band played national
airs during the dinner. Much
enthusiasm was displayed
throughout the evening. There
was an overflow meeting of full
ly 5000 in the Exposition mu-
sic hall. They were addressed
by Col. Bryan, E. A. Noonan,
0. II. P. Belmont, Champ Clark
D. A. Ball, A. M. Dockcry, H.
q. Hawes aud w. H. Harvey.
Here the enthusiasm was as
great as in the Coliseum. The
oratory, the music, the flags all
inspired the people to hope that
in the near future the reign of
trusts in America would be
broken and once again America
would be free and the masses
would prosper. A mighty roar
echoed and re.echoed through
the building when Col. Bryan
on the arm of Harry Hawes ad,
vanced TO the front. The peo.
pie are with Bryan because
Bryan is with the people.

dence of Uncle Billie Umstattd
by Ed. M. j. Nicoson at 1Oa. m.
Tuesday. Bert was noble
young man and by his sterling
worth had the love and respect
OF all who knew him. He spent
several years of his life in Mic
aragua but made several visits
to his old home.
In his southern home he had
prospered and had risen to a
position Of honor and trust.
He was most excellent Young
man and it is sad to know that
he was cut down SO early in life.
He was about 30 years of age
The DEMOCRAT sympathizes
with his bereaved family in
their great loss.
Our present efficient and ac-
commodating County Collector,
Jas. IT. Umstattd, on taking
charge of the Collectors office
concluded the room needed
more convenience thau an an.
tiquated bench aud rough
board desk. Accordingly Mr..
Umstattd set about to improve
the appearance and to add some
very necessary accessories at his
own expense. Greatly to his
credit he has cased up one side
of the wall with neat receipt
cleS for books and records.
while the old high bench and
old box on the wall that served
as book case for more than Il
generation have received such a
remodeling and redressing as to
be perfectly disguised. The
office now presents a neat and
modern appearance at least
more in keeping with the repu-
tatiOn and standing of the'coun
ty. The Office has long needed
these comforts and conveu-
fences but some how the court
has never thought it necessary
to order it. Hence Mr.. Um-
stattd was compelled to pay for
it out of his own pocket.-Bau.

ROE CITY, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, JUNE J. 1899
OF REV. J. M. TRAVIS.

DEATH OF REV. J. M. TRAVIS.
The sanity and beloved Rev.
j, M. Travis ended his earthly
career on Saturday afternoon
9th inst. at Iris home in st. Joe.
lnfirmity of body has been life
long mark with him but through
the latter part of the winter he
seemed to be rather weaker
than usual. Nothing,serious how
ever was apprehended until two
weeks ago when he took to his
bed with an affection of the
lungs. He grew steadily wea k.
er, though lie seemed to suffer
little, until Saturday noon he
closed his eyes upon earthly
scenes and at SIS his spirit
quietly took its flight.
"A short service was conducted
by Rev, w. S. Formau before
leaving the home at st. Joseph.
The body was then taken to
Lions Hill burial ground near
his old home in Lewis County.
Rev. G. F. Richmond of Paris
conducted the funeral services,
at 3 p. m. Monday,
Perhaps no person of this
community has had a greater
number of friends than had DIR.
Travis. His private and public
life was as uureproachable as
the life of a man could be.
Many of his old friends are
ready to say that they never
knew hlm to do an Intentional
wrong, and his mistakes were
very few in number, AS a min,
lister of the Gospel he with his
frail and suffering body accom-
plished a work that few men
have ben able to do.
The South Fork and New
Hope near Santa Fe with Il
number of neighboring Presby
terian churches stand as monu-
meuts to his energetic and faith
full efforts.
He was born Dec 5, 80 in Au.
gusta Co., Va. At the age ci
eight he came to Lewis Co., Mo.
He early became sufferer. AT
the age of twenty his parents
sent him to Alum Springs, Va.
hoping that he would find relief
from rheumatism. He spent
four or five years with relatives
in Va. attending school and
teaching. He attended the
Brawnsburg High School, Wash.
ington and Lee University
Union Theological Seminary in
Va. and then spent two years
at Danville Theological school
in Ky. He had made a profes,
sion of religion in 81. In 50 he
was ordained and ins tailed pas.
tor over the South Fork and
New Hope churches, where he
labored continuously for
twenty six years. The labors
of the large country charge be,
coming to arduous tor his feeble
health, be moved to Monroe
City where he continued his
work tor ten years and then
was compelled from increasing
feebleness to abandon his active
ministry. About a year ago he
removed with his son-in-law W
and family to st. Joseph, Mo.
A truly godly man has thus
departed this earthly life to one
of rich reward beyond.
