These are sweet words, but how much pain and suffering they used to mean. It's different now. Since Mothers Friend has become known expectant mothers have been spared much of the anguish of child birth. Mothers Friend is liniment to be applied externally. It is rubbed thoroughly into the muscles of the abdomen. It gives elasticity and strength, and when the final great strain comes they respond quickly and easily without pain. Mothers Friend is never taken internally. Internal remedies at this time do more harm than good. If a

A Burglar at Crshman Shot.


 On last Friday night negro burglar by the name of George Lit tlewas caught ill the store of the Cdshman Supply Co.,, by superin- tendent w. H. Denison, about II O clock, and was shot i'll the back while trying to make his escape. The wound has been quite painful but will not prove fatal.
 The particulars of the shooting and capture of the negro was re lated to us by Mir. Denison and are about as follows:
 Some time during the day, Fri day, some of the employees of the store had observed that the fasten ings of the windows in the lower room of the building had been re- moved, and supposing that some one had done 1t for the purpose of making a raid on the store that night, Mir. Dennison and Messrs. Allie Steele and Charley Padgett concluded to keep watch that night. It had been raining up to little after 10 o'clock when 1t ceased and after another hours wait they concluded that no one would visit the store that night and Messrs. Steele and Padgett went to their room which is i'll the store, and MT. Denison started home. He started to the windows i'll the dark, which had been loosed to fasten them, when'he suddenly felt that he was i'll the presence of some one. Realizing that 1t would not do to strike a match, he took his pistol from his pocket and fired 1t at the floor i'll order to get light to ascertain where the burglar was and as soon as the pistol was fired the negro became frightened and broke and ran. MT. Denison fired at him, the ball entering the right side. He escaped from the build ing, but was traced to his home some distance away and captured,
 Dr. Evans, in whose employ the negro was, was sunmond and dressed the wound which he does not think fatal. In the loft of the negro's house were goods found belonging to other merchants of the town and something like 500 cigars and other goods which were not identified.
 The negro had been i'll the em- p1oy of Dr. Evans for a long time and came to Cushman w tn him from Des Arc, and was considered an honorable darkey. Lit le had been employed by MT. Steele to tend his room in the store and re- gently stole a purse from him, with about $50 in 1t, whi ,h was found with about s. i'll ii among other goods. Sheriff Hin lle was telephoned Saturday and vent up after the negro, returning ill the af- ternoon, and placed him i'll jail, where he will remain until court convenes next month. .-Batesville Guard.
 This MT. Denison is a son of Rev. J. Nj. Denison, who lives a few miles west of this city.

Nothing Definite But the General Talk
is All Along the Limo.
PITTSBURG, July 17.-There were
no new developments in the strike dur
ing the early hours of the second day.
All the plants closed yesterday were
shut down tight and matters about the
Painter mill, Lindsay & MeCutcheOn,
Clark's Solar Iron works, the Monon-
gahela and Startling plants were quiet.
1t was stated that Painters mi1l was
in partial operation, but the only men
at work were a few Hungarians who
were cleaning up about the yards. Re
plying to the report that the company
had brought a strike breaker from
Alabama, Assistant General Manager
Parker said: 1--WE can break our own
strikes"
Superintendent Albrecht, encounter
ed a few moments later, said the plant
would be running in full within a few
days. Speculation as to the probable
settlement of the strike is general,
and among business managers the
consensus of opinion is that the COM
bine officials and Amalagamated Off
Gals will get together before long and
adjust the differences.

That is What John Burns Expects in
America.
NEW YORK, July 18.-The steel
strike in America is attracting much
attention in England generally, and
while long articles are being printed
in the newspapers on the subject, no
comment is made in the editorial col
umns, according to the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune. John Burns
has been less reticent, for he fore
casts an American Armagedon with
the revival of the old anti-slavery feel
ing and the transformation of trusts
into state organizations by the politi-
cal power of the hordes of workmen.
Financiers watch the quotations
from Wall street, and are unmoved
by socialistic trades. Combinations
are felt to be on trial in America, and
if they survive the great conflict with
organized labor concentration of CAPT.
tai will be promoted in England.

selected as the occasion for a demon
stration to support the claims of this
prince, who is such a close friend or
their Russian ally, by all the clements
opposed to the present regime. The
names of NJ. de Roulede, the MARQUIS

KANSAS GETS SOME SHOWERS.

Freshens Vegetation Even Where Not
Enoagh to Do Permanent Good.
KANSAS CITY, July 17.-Rain fell
over an area Of eighty miles around
Kansas City early yesterday morning
and reports from different parts Of the
southwest indicate thunder storms
and lower temperatures during the
day. At Lawrence, Kan, enough rain
fell to effectively lay the dust, clear
the atmosphere and freshen vegeta-
ton, but not enough to do any per-
manent good. It is the first fall in
that vicinity for twenty-six days. At
Ottawa and Wellsville, in the next
county west from Lawrence, about
half an inch of rain fell. At Wells
vile there has been no rain for more
than three months, and coming now
it will do late cor great good If fol-
lowed by more, otherwise the corn
crop in that county will prove an ut
ter failure. Some fields are now too
far gone to be revived by any amount
Of rain. Over one inch of rain is re-
ported at Toronto, Kan, two counties
further west. There was a fairly good
shower in Kansas City in the norm
ing, but at II o'clock the sky was
cloudless and the weather bureau re-
ported a temperature of g. A good
rain fell at Camden Point, Mo, three
counties east of Kansas City, and it
will result in much good to corn,
which in that vicinity is still q dark
green.
Miami county, Kansas, two counties
south from Kansas City ON the Mis-
souri, line experienced a good rain,
the first since April L. Tt came too
late and early crops in that county
are reported a total failure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 19.-The
United States minister a. Buenos
Ayres has forwarded to the state de-
partment a degree, issued by the Ar
gentine government, prohibiting the
importation Of live stock coming from
foreign countries, of the ovine, bo-
vine or any other species that, in the
opinion of technical authorities,
might carry infection of foot and
mouth disease. There is a provision
in the decree, however, that such
stock coming from foreign countries
whose official representations certify
that such disease does not exist in
their country, and that the necessary
precautions have been taken to
avoid infection, are excepted from the
application of the decree. The de-
cree says that all animals which are
shipped before the decree was issued
will be submitted to forty days quar-
antine after their arrival.
