Fire at Mendon.

We are sorry to hear that Men
don was the scene of disastrous
fire between 3 and 4 o'clock
Wednesday morning, which
originated in H. C.. Atterbury's
horse, mule and feed barn, but
whether the fire was the bastard
ly deed of an incendiary Or was
the result of spontaneous com.
bustion caused from the breath
of fellow who was pretty we'll
tanked up on fire-water and was
sleeping in the barn, is not
known.
From Atterbury's barn the
flames were communicated to
Ted Herbert's livery and feed
stable, thence to John Hickey's
restaurant and Woods opera
house above, thence to the Citi-
zen office back of Hickey's, and
also to Cecil Wayland's drug
store across the street, thence
to the post office building, the
lower floor of which was occu-
pied by the post-office while the
upper story was used by Post
master H. M. Allen as living
rooms; thence the blaze spread
to Hendrickson & Carper's real
estate office, thence to the Com
mercial hotel and thence on to c..
G.. Painters large general store,
cleaning up everything in its
path.
Mr.. Painter, we understand,
saved about all of his stock, but
others were not so fortunate.
We have been unable to get
Mendon by telephone since the
fire, and for that reason we are
not prepared to give such details
of the conflagration as is our de-
sire.
The losses will reach several
thousand dollars, but there was
only a small amount of insurance.
/ Wanted---Cordwood.
We want to buy all kinds of
cordwood. Delivery at Wa
bash track, Keytesville, Mo. If

GET At The CAUSE.


ne Day Of Drastic DrsSs and PsrGasivsa
Has Gone by.
Constipation OF the bowels, usually
considered o simple complaint, is tho
more dangerous because 1t is deemed
trivial. Trihes neglected become the
most serious Of ailments. "a dose Of
physic will cure it is the usual remark.
But the dose never cures. 1t relieves
for the time, but aggravates the COM
plant for the future, and next time
strained, weakened, poisoned by re-
peated dosing with strong drugs. be-
come more and more constipated, invit-
Ing appendicitis, deranged liver and
stomach, weakness Of the urinary Or
gans, bad blood. and chronic organic
diseases OF various kinds. Constipation
should be cured promptly. Druggists
sell the one medicine that cures consti-
patton. They sell big bottle Of it for
: and they call it Calcura Solvent. It
is the latest discovery Of David Kenne-
dy, Physician and Surgeon, OF Kennedy
Row. Kingston, N Y, and II you write
TO the above address, mentioning this
paper, you will receive small bottle
free. Or II your druggist does not keep
Calcura Solvent, send 81 and receive .

Richard F. Johnston, OF Rondout,

cura Solvent for constipation and torpid

He recommends Calcura Solvent to ath-
letes. There are hundreds OF other
cases.
BY reason Of Its cleansing and tonic
properties on the whole system, Calcura
Solvent puts not only the bowels, but
the stomach, liver, blood, kidneys. and

A Proper Suggestion.

Genwood Tribune: Congressman
Babcock is mentioned for the speak
ership. Ii that honor is to come to
the good old rock ribbed republican
state of Wisconsin, why cannot a
republican who has never gone
wrong on the tariff question be
chosen. John j. J of the 18th
district has never sought to crush
the trusts by monkeylng with the
tariff, but he has sought to pull thei r
fangs through wise constitutional
legislation. John J. should be Wis.,
consin's CHOICE
There is the best of logic in The
Tribune article. Congressman Jen-
kins would make an ideal man for
speaker.

ton is the fundamental doctrine, mo
schedules scared" the maxim, recip-
reclty the general purpose. The
president was fortunately able before
he went into the surgeons hands to
utter in a clear note showing that
the administration recognized them
as being the general demand. There
are some republicans opposed to re-
duclng any schedules, but they are
not going to help into power tn e
party whose main, constant and I'M
alterable purpose is to abolish all
schedules after the fashion of the
German Wilson law. There are some
who hesitate as to reciprocity, but
they are not going to aid the demo-
Gratis in carrying out their plan to
avoid it by reducing the tariff that
every low wage manufacturer in the
old world will have better chance
in our markets than our own pro-
ducers would have in competition
with them. It will be found that
while republicans may differ as to
details, when 1t comes to choosing
between a party which has always
closed down our industries and one
which has always opened the closed
and built new ones, there will be
such unamimity that the "split"
cannot be found with microscope.
