Sayings BY Mrs. Carrie Nation.

This is government of the
brewers, by the brewers and for
the brewers.
Mexico needs her walks cleaned
off where the men have stood and
spit tobacco.
Yon can't legalize wrong; you
may license it, but that is contra
ry to the Constitution of the I'm
tied States.
The Democratic party in Mis-
souri, is just as bad as the Repub-
lican party i'll kansas-both in
league with hell.
1t is a great thing to take the
law into your own hands, but an
awful thing when You have no law
to take into your hands.
Hatchctation did not begin with

son was Il smashcr, Josiah was
smashcr, and Christ was smash

sneered at other governments for
their heavy military burdens, tho
the standing armies abroad have
been immense national schools to

outstanding, intelligent freemcn.
At the same time you have saddled
yourselves with a much greater
burden in Il huge pension list
which has not begun to shrink
tho the war on which it is based
was over nearly 40 years ago. You
have the only government which
has lost three rulers in less than
40 years by assassination. You
are the only nation whose highest
court has for 20 years been under
mining the fundamental character
of the government by vacillating,
conflicting and divergent opinions.

THAT "DORG" AGAIN.
He's a Bone of Contention
Claimed In st.
Louis.

Hon. Rhodes Clay bought dog
on the streets of Mexico about
three weeks since, sold upder exc
cution to settle costs in law suit.
The said "dorg' brought 1926,
but now he is claimed in St. Lou
is, and there may be further "pro-
ceedings." In reference to the
matter the st. Louis Republic
says
The Rev. w. q. Donnan, a
Baptist minister, near Florissant,
has quit preaching the gospel long
enough to go to Mexico, Mo, for
the purpose of identifying valu-
able hunting dog belonging to
Robert Hyatt, one of his parish
oners.
The dog is just now the subject
of litigation in Audrain county.
He is in the actual possession of
Rhodes Clay, the Audraiu county
Representative in the Legislature,
who is said to have bought him at
a sale for debt, but there are
others who claim title to him.
From the description that Mr..
Hyatt has read of the dog he is
certain that he is the canine that
he lost while hunting in Howard
county before Christmas.
Mr.. Hyatt is an ardent sports
man and spent some time in How
ard county hunting with Col. Dick
Stevens, of Clayton. While there
he lost his dog, and became i'll be-
fore he could find him. He has,
tened back home and for time
was in serious condition. While
in convalescent statehe read of
the dog that was the bone of con-
tentiOn in Mexico. He was not
able to 60 there himself and Pas
tor Donnan volunteered to take
his place. Mr.. Hyatt is daily ex,
pecting a report from him.
Mr.. Hyatt says he would not
take 800 for the dog, and will, if
necessary, institute replevin pro-
ceediugs if the minister identifies
him.

Poisoned Again.

The following from the Slater
Index will interest Mexico readers:
Bud Dawes is in a critical con-
dition for the past week at his
home, five miles southwest of this
city, and his symptoms indicate
arsenic poison. His mother-in-
law, Mrs. Joe Miller, of Mexico,
has also been complaining, but her
condition is not considered so Sc
riOus.
This is the second time he is
known to have been poisoned and
some Of his neighbors say it is the
fourth time. The first time he
had a physician call to see him
was on the 9th of last November.
At that time he and his wife, his
father. law, his mother-in-law,
Miss Vertna Crawford, of Mexico,
and two neighbors who took dim
ner with them, Mrs Robert Mar
shall and Miss Josie McMahan,
were quite sick, but all recovered
and it was generally supposed that
the poisoning was accidental.
AT the present time, however,
there is a belief that some one
poisoned the food and it is init
mated that an investigation will
be made. Mr.. Dawes was moved
from his residence to the residence
of his mother last Sunday and il
is believed that he will recover.
Mr.. Dawes was married about
three years ago to Mrs. Phillips,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.
Miller, of Mexico, and the young
people located on a farm owned
by Mr.. Dawes. They have one
child, boy about one year old.
Mrs. Dawes father and mother
have been living with them fol
