Highly Recommended Our New Specialist,
DIR. Schram. and His New Treatment to
the People of Canton and Vicinity.
To suffer for years with that loath-
some disease, catarrh, with all its dis
gusting and annoying symptoms, is
enough to make any one tire of life and
become almost hopeless. Such was my
case: For years have been a sufferer
from catarrh, shortness Of breath and
deafness. In the morning would have
to hawk and cough for hours. The tight
ness in my chest seemed to increase;
could not eXpectorate any phlegm with
out great difficulty; gradually grew
more deaf and was so weak that with
the least eXertion grew almost breath
less, and was miserable generally.
Hearing of the wonderful work of the
great specialist, Dr. Schram, I went
to him and shall never regret it, for he
has made a wonderful improvement in
my case already. My head is much
clearer; breathe freer than 1 have for
years; my cough is gradually leaving
me; my chest is much better and feel
like different man. I gladly recon-
mend DR.. = ,hram and his NEW TREAT
MENT to all suffering humanity"

Another Patient Praises DIR. schram.

I have been unable to breath through
either nostril for some years, and this
dryness of the throat made me hawk and
spit a great deal in order to raise the
phlegm, and then very often did not
succeed in raising it. OF course every
one recognizes these symptoms with the
additional taking cold, easily, to be those
of our national disease Catarrh. 1 am
now happy to state for the benefit of
those suffering from catarrh that we
have man in our midst who is able to
conquer this pest. l speak from eX-
perience. 1 can now breath freely from
both nostrils, they being perfectly clear,
and the little phlegm which gathers in
my throat occasionally can raise with
out an effort. Throat feels much better,
dryness has almost disappeared and l
feel so much better generally that do
not hesitate at all to recommend DR..
Schram to our citizens. The NEW
TREATMENT is great. 1t goes to the
spot AND CURES. Respectfully,

ATTEMPTED RAPE.
A Grave Charge Placed Against
Louis Gebhardt

Louis Gebhardt, who lives in Har-
rig, was arrested last night charged
with attempting to commit a rape
upon Maud Conner, a little girl under
nine years of age. The complaint
was sworn out this morning by Chas.
S. Conner, the father OF the girl, and
the case is being tried this afternoon
before Justic Willer.
Gebhardt runs a small store and
sells candy, lunch etc. Late last
evening several young girls came into
the place, according to the statement
of Gebhardt, and among them was
Maud Connor. Gebhardt gave the
girls some candy. and Maud ran
around behind the counter to get
some more. He went after her and in
running to get out of his way the girl
slipped and fell down. While she
was on the floor and Gebhardt was
trying to raise her up, Mrs. Conner
happened to pass. She looked in the
store and believed she saw enough to
justify her in making the complaint
which led to the arrest.
After hearing tho evidence in the
case Judge Willer discharged the
prisoner

KNEW WHEREOF HE SPOKE.
An Old Time Prophecy Regarding
the Mississippi River.

A citizen of the Cape has a book
with the title, General Geogra ply
and Rudiments of Useful knowledge. -
The book was written by H. G. Spaf-
ford and was published in the district
of New York in 1909. In speaking of
the Mississippi river the writer says:
''The Mississippi river in several
respects resembles the Nile. Its an
nual overhowing of its banks, its
many many mouths, and the exhuber-
ent fatness which 1t deposits are feat
ures OF strong resemblance. And
whoever will turn his attention to ex-
anime the geographical position of
the Delta OF the Mississippi, and the
situation OF the western country, must
see the probability that at some future
period the wealth and the commercial
Importance of North America will
center on that river
If the writer of that were alive now
he would have reason to compliment
himself npon his good Judgment in
this regard.

TRIED TO BLUFF A FARMER.
Buf the Attempt Cost the Buffer
Five Hard Earned Plunks

The Republic relates the following
incident which shows that there are
some farmers who visit ST. Louis who
cannot be swindled:
'-M. A. Maloy, a farmer from Pied
mont, Mo-, caused the arrest of Geo.
Gross, negro boetblack yesterday
morning because he charged ten cents
for shine when he agreed to do the
work for nickel.
"Cross has a stand at Eighteenth
and Market streets, opposite the
Unioa Station. Maloy stepped from
the train into Cross's chair. When
the work was done Maloy handed the
negro a dime, expecting to get FIVE
cents in return, as Cross had agreed
to ''shino 'em up for nickel.
'l'Iim union bootblack.' ex-
claimed the darkey, cenjuring all his
wits, and don't shine for five cents,
even if said l would.
Maley called a policeman, who
placed Cross under arrest. When he
reached the Central District Station
the police court was in session and
the case was Immediately docketed.
Cross set up the same plea in court,
but Judge Sidener fined him So and
costs saying he intended to break up
that gang about the station which
reaps a harvest swindling strangers.
Judge Sidener said unions are very
proper, but when a man makes con-
tract he must live up to it, union or
no union.';

Another Duck STORY.

The Charleston Enterprise is re-
sponsihle for this story which leads
one to infer that Mr.. McAdoo has
brakes that lay eggs:
~. c. MeAdoo. who lives on Mig
ger Ridge, near Bertrand, has a
dozen of fine Industrious ducks which
at this season lay him an egg apiece
every night. This morning, however,
on going out to gather up the fruit he
found, instead of the usual twelve.
sixteen eggs scattered about. Mr..
McAdoO's surprise was great thereat,
and he cast suspicious glances at the
four brakes, and the brakes quacked
derisively. AS the eggs are genuine
duck eggs, and as Mr.. McAdoo is a
truthful man, we await further intelli-
from him on the subject with anxious
interest. ;;

For Appellate Judge.

Southeast Missouri, loyal south
east Missouri, political begging south
east Missouri. has always been 'in
the soup'' so far as distribution OF
Offices have been concerned. This
section OF the state has practically
been ignored, and all influence that
could be brought to bear by men OF
either party has availed nothing.
Later in the season the Republicans
will hold a convention for the pur-
pose OF nominating candidate for
Judge of the st. Louis Court Of Ap-
peals, and the DEMOCRAT desires now
to present the name Of Wilson Cramer
of jackson as a suitable candidate
for this honorable judicial position.
1t is high time that southeast Mis-
souri, received some recognition at
the hands of the Republican party,
and with such q candidate as Mr..
Cramer the DEMOCRAT believes the
party could win in a walk.
Wilson Cramer has no superiors
and few peers as lawyer. His abil-
ity and his integrity are generally
recognized all through this district,
where he is so well and so favorably
known. Not only is be jarist of
unquestioned ability and standing,
but his personal character is without
spot or blemish. He is a man whom
no power could sway from what he
deemed the right course. and his
decisions from the bench would be-
given honestly and fearlessly, and,
solely upon his judgment OF the Law
and the facts in the case.
Mr.. Cramer's name will be sub
mitted to the convention and his
friends will do all that can be honor
ably done to secure him the nomina-
ton. In the event of his being NOM
mated it is believed that large
number of his Democratic friends
throughout southeast Missouri Will
give him their support. In Mr,
Cramer this section may have an able
representative upon the bench Of the
Court of appeals. and southeast mis:
souri, may have that recognition to
which it is entitled. Should Mr..
Cramer receive the nomination, and
his friends OF the opposite party will
sink political differences for the sake
of southeast Missouri, his triumphant
election may be safely prophesied.
1t might not be out of place to add
that there is probably no man in this
section of the state whose election as
Judge of the Court of Appeals would
give more general satisfaction to all
classes of citizens.

THE CITY ELECTION.
The Result II . vindlcatton for
Those Who Favored the Passage
of the Railroad Ordinance.

The city election passed off very
quietly yesterday, and while there
we're some surprises, still the result,
taken all around, is quite satisfactory.
There were some candidates who got
left that people generally would like
to have seen elected; and some were
successful who it was expected would
have been beaten. But there is no
use to make any complaint now as
the voters have registered their will.
The election, taken all around. may
be regarded as an expression of the
opinion of people on the railroad
question. Three of the aldermen,
Kage, Regenhardt and Fuerth, who
represent the first, second and third
wards respectively, and who voted for
the passage of that railroad ordin-
ance, were reelected. Alderman Nor
rison. of the fourth ward, who oppos-
ed the ordinance, was also reelected,
his support coming largely from citi-
zens who desired to see the depot
located at the foot OF Independence
street.
In the third ward Fuerth and INNER
stall were candidates for the regular
term, and Ossenkop and Phillips for
the unexpired term.
The vote was rather small one,
many citizens not taking sufficient
interest to vote at all.
The result OF the election was as
follows;
