A Missouri paper gives an account
Of an amusing little tragedy" which
1t claims occurred in its town. A man
and his wife were riding home on a
street car. He was reading his paper,
when another lady got on. The car
was crowded, and without glancing up
he arose and gave her his seat, receiv-
ing a gracious smile in payment. The
mans wife Immediately got up, gave
the bellrope a hard jerk and invited
her husband TO get of. When he
looked around to learn the aus Of her
anger, he discovered that the woman
to whom he had given his seat was his
first wife, whom he had divorced two
years before. They walked the rest

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Paving Resolutions Passed = Resolu.
ton for Street Lights Lost
Howe Case Compromised
Other Business.

The City Council met Tuesday night
in an adjourned meeting from Mon
day nights session. Mr.. Abbay was
absent.
The plans and specifications for
paving the six blocks on Jefferson,
Monroe, Washington and jackson
streets, as prepared by City Engineer
Mckinney, and the paving resolution
written by Mr.. Hit, were read. On
motion of Mr.. Howell the resolution
was passed.
Mr.. Howell then introduced a light
ing resolution with the provision:
that the city make a two years. con-
tract with the Mexico Electric Light
Co. for twenty-five arc lights for the
streets, ten of which should burn all
night, and the remaining fifteen be
kept burning until midnight, and for
i~ncandescent lights for the City Hall;
price to be paid, $1,4l0 per year. The
resolution was defeated by a vote Of 4
to 3.
Messrs. Buckner, KEENAN,, Ragsdale
and Pratt, who defeated the resolu-
tion for street lights, stated that they
did not want to be thought opposed to
the lights under all circumstances, but
voted negatively only because they
believed the condition Of city finances
would not allow the outlay Of money
called for in providing the lights.
Mr.. Buckner proposed that twelve
in%candescent lights for the City Hall
be contracted for, and the resolution
was carried.
A resolution to be affixed to the paw
ing resolution was next introduced by
Mr.. Buckner. This resolution pro-
vided that all contractors taking work
in paving the streets be paid with
special tax bills levied by the city. 1t
was passed by a full vote
The Mayor reported that the case
Of Mrs. Howe VS.. the City Of Mexico
had been compromised for 800.
Street Commissioner Owen recon-
mended that Dan King and Porter
Gibson, under sentence In the lookup,

son OF DR.. N. r. Rodes, and Cortez

only persons injured. The RodeS

Republican Resolutions.


At the Republican nominating con-
vention held in Laddonia Monday the
following resolutions were adopted:
We heartily endorse the principles
set forth by the last National Repub-
lican Convention and the platform
adopted at our recent State Conven-
tion at Jefferson City, and the arraign-
ment therein of those who have
abused the trust Of the people Of our
State. Ali parties and all the people
agree that the professional" lobby
which has existed for all these years
of Democratic control, should be
abolished. In addition to this the
Republican party insists that it is Of
far greater moment to the people Of
our State than the still more danger
GUS lobby, not called professional, y
and composed Of Democratic party
managers and Democratic State off,
cials who seek to deny the cities Of our
State the right Of self-government
and who sell in advance Legislative
favors in return for campaign contri-
buttons, and seek to influence the
decisions of our highest judicial trib-
unal, in order to maintain themselves
in power, should be, by the votes of
an outraged people, wiped out of
existence.
We heartily endorse the able, fear
less and buslness-like administration
OF President Roosevelt and specially
commend his clear and unmistakable
position, that our tariff system which
has resulted in such abundant pros
perity to the people, must not be dis
turbed, and that the National Gov
eminent should wisely regulate and
control all combinations and trusts
that may in any way become danger
GUS to the public good.

Paine'SC Celery
Compound
Cures a Lady
Who Was Told That Her Life
Depended Upon a Surgi-
cal Operation.
Cures a Lady

The greatest misfortune Of the pres
emit generation is that wives and
mothers r so frequently untitled fol-
the duties Of life and domestic enjoy
ment, by reason Of broken down health
and overtaxed systems. The duties Of
women Of all ages are really more
worrying and wearing than the
troubles met with by men. Social,
household, and often business cases
press upon women very heavily. In
this way the delicate nerves and sensi-
tive organs become deranged, suffer
ing ensues, and life becomes a burden
that many carry to the grave.
For the special weaknesses TO which
women so often fall victims, medical
science has provided Paine's Celery
Compound. This famed medicine has
specific powers for correcting the dis
orders Of the female organism; it
maintains health, gives strength,
vivacity, and good looks, and imparts
to the body the elasticity of girlhood.
No other medicine can so quickly
Danish and permanently cure painful
and Obdurate feminine ills. Mrs. L. s.
Long, Of Flint, Mich, says
"FOr twenty-five years | have been
a great sufferer from insomnia, never
obtained more than four nights sleep
In a week. For sixteen years life has
been a burden to me because of pro-
lapsus uteri, whose t0rtures no words
can describe, and from which no physi-
clan gave me any hopes of relief ereept
by an operation. | have also for years
been troubled with rheumatism to
such an extent in my right shoulder as
to nearly disable me.
last February | was induced to
try Paine's Celery Compound in hopes
that relief from insomnia and rheuma-
tism might be obtained. After using
three bottles of the Compound, the
rheumatism was better, | could sleep
like a child, and, strangest of all, my
uterine trouble was cured"
