IT is VERY SCIENTIFIC
PREFERRED TO ALI OTHERS OF
ITS KIND.
A Few of Many Points of Excellence
hot to Be Found Among Other
Kidney Remedies

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, the great
remedy for urinary and kidney all
ments, is scientific preparation. II
has been perfected after eighteen
years Of hard work by an experienced
chemist. Kid-ne-oids act gently,
thoroughly, quickly and directly on
the kidneys, nerves and urinary
organs. They viii build up the sys-
tenn and restore its normal parts 10
their natural condition.
O. q. Bartlett, residing on Fillmore
street, Maryville, No., says: "From
exposure I caught cold which set
tied in the small OF my back. suffered
for about three weeks with backache.
A package Of Morrow's Kid-ne -oids
which / procured relieved me quickly
and permanently; no return of back
ache for which am grateful. KID
ne oids are deserving of much
praise"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
bat yellow. tablets, which is q most
scientific form OF preparing medicine.
Kid-ne- will positively cure all
kidney ailments. They are put up in
wooden boxes which contain enough
for about two weeks treatment and
sell at fifty cents 3 boz at all drug
stores and at Buckner & Whitney's
drug store.

"T0 VIRGINIA"

By o. A. 8.
Thou art the country of my birth
And whereso'er rove,
Thou art the spot of all the earth
I'll never cease to love.
Thou are the land where first my eyes
We're opened to the day
There frat / heard the lullabys,
That soothed my pains away.
and fret beneath thine azure sky
learned that sacred name,
Which breathes of Immortality
And feeds loves holy fame.
The morning and the evening breeze,
That DER thy valleys stray,
Played round me when ] bent my
knees,
And raised my heart to pray.
o, there IL q charm In those scenes
Which now are passed away,
That o'er me steals like early dreams
OF life first opening day.
And every spot Of that dear land,
Where childhood's years were
passed
Is bound BY loves most tender band
That with my life must last.
virglniai Though many q mile may
lie
Between thy shores and me,
Never can that sweet affection die,
That knits my heart to thee.

From the Montgomery Standard.
Hon. o. +. CLARK, who has twice
represented Audrain county in the
Legislature, in both revising sessions
OF $50 and 's9, is mentioned as q prob
able candidate for the State Senate
next year. It is just such men az Mr..
CLARK that are needed In that body
men of experience and integrity; men
who are sufficiently familiar with af-
fairs to aid in securing proper legisIa-
tion; men who are not afraid OF the
lobby and who viii dare do right un-
der any circumstances; men who are
Industrious, pains-taking and always
attend to their business. Mr.. CLARK
would make 9 worthy successor 10
Senator Major, who is q hard fighter
and was always on the right side DUR
ing the session just passed. Audrain
could do no better than to present
Mr.. Clark's name for State Senator in
that district at the proper time, and
we have no doubt the entire people
would be well pleased with their
choice II he IL selected.

TIE Mexico people who went "a
Kansas City 10 do what they could
toward securing the Feeble Minded
Institution for Mexico feel that they
simply did their duty. While they
never had any assurance that the in
atitution would be located In Mexico,
they felt that II was the duty OF every
loyal citizen to do what be could on
an occasion OF this kind. We are satis-
fed with the location, knowing that
Marshall 10 q beautiful little city and
that it's people are enterprising and
progressive, and In every way worthy
OF this institution, which will prove
one Of the most important In the
State. Mexico people may sometimes
be disappointed, but they never get
sore. There were seven cities appli-
eants for this institution and six had
to be disappointed. Marshall has our
congratulations; she deserves them;
she made splendid fight and was
victorious. We always feel like ap-
plauding those who succeed, espec-
tally when they are deserving.

In giving an extended pedigree of
Sagwa, the green gelding that sold
recently in New York at public auc-
tion for e7,10o, ColHsdn's Rural World
says:
To W. r. Garter, OF Mexico, NO., is
due the credit OF developing the great
speed Of sagwa In very short period.
Mr.. Garter is one Of the most careful,
painstalking and skilltul trainers in the
State. he is always kind, but perss-
vering, taking great pains TO get the
action just right by perfect shooting
and balancing. He never overshoots
the mark By giving them too much
speeding. He takes time to get his
horses in perfect condition before
calling upon them for fast work. The
tracks at Mexico, both the kite-shaped
and the half mile, are kept In the best
condition, and there are none in the
State better to work horses upon. Mr..
Garter has developed the speed of
many fast horses ana is deserving
great credit for the excellent work be
did with 6agwa in so short period of
time,

THE Louisville Courier Journal pro-
nounces the debate on the currency
bill to have been fat, stale and I'M
profitable In general, but adds this as
an exception: There were some ex-
citing passages when the House OF
Representatives proceeded to debate
under the five-minute rule. Both
sides we're out for blood, for each put
forth lite most savage debaters--G Gros-
venor for the Republicans and Champ
CLARK for the Democrats. The Re-
publicans' champion proceeded to
hre some questions 1T young Mr..
Bailey which we're intended to be an
answer 10 that gentleman's speech
made the day before, and rather
"scorching" questions they were, too.
CLARK was given fifteen minutes and
In one-third OF that time be threw the
House into q tumult. The Democrats
gathered about him and urged him on,
while the Republicans squirmed and
endured their torture in silence. Mr.,
Clark's place lie in the Senate, where
knowledge is ever at premium and
debate rarely out OF order.

for those suffering with catarrh. ! do
not hesitate to recommend It. Before
had used one bottle 1 noticed a great
change in myself, and four bottles cured
me entirely. 1 would not be without
Pe-ru-na for any consideration.
The reason SO many people get chron-
ic catarrh is, the disease gets firmly es-
tablished before it is recognized. They
fool themselves by calling Il some other
name than It's proper one-catarrh.
When people get acute catarrh they
call 1t cold. If they have acute nasal
catarrh it is called coryza. Endemic
catarrh they call influenza, and epi-
demic catarrh they name la grippe.
When the catarrh reaches the throat
it is called tonsilitis, or larynE Is.
catarrh of the bronchial tubes Is cailed
bronchitis; catarrh OF the lungs con-
sumption. Any internal remedy that
will cure catarrh in one location VIII
cure IL in any other location. This is
why Pe-ru-na has become so Justly fam
GUS in the cure OF catarrhal diseases. It
cures catarrh wherever located. Its
cures remain. Pe-ru-na does not PAL
late; it cures.

THE people Of the United States are
very patriotic and very loyal. We
notice that large sums of money are
promptly subscribed for Dewey, Mrs.
Lawton and other prominent officers
and officers widows. This lie all right;
at the same time we should not be.
come hero worshipers. Many a COM
mon soldier dies in the trenches. while
his. mother or wife Is athome washing
Tor living. This seems very ordinary;
no fund is raised, no noise is made
and the soldier is buried, we hope at
least. with honor, and then forgotten; ;
the mother or wife goes on washing.
The people Of this country must be-
ware Of distinction between the COM
mon soldier and the officers. We are
all common people In this country
We are all soldiers, or should be, In
one sense Of the word or another.
