General chilly" Ryder, known of
all politicians In the state, as no
political convention has been held in
the state in twenty years, but what
he was present as a conspicuous
character, has been converted at a
salvation gathering and will join
church, but just what one he is yet
undecided and all denominations
have an opportunity to contest for
the prize. As the Methodists recent
ly captured Geronimo, it Is thought
they may have the inside track on
those kinds of noted characters.
General "Billy," like Geronimo, has
several victims to the credit OF his
trusty knife, but the General always
acted on the defensive, at least he al
ways succeeded in proving that he
was backing when his victim fell on
his blade. He Is a noted Legislative
agent" as Differentiated from "lob-
byist," and anybody around the capt.
tai would point out the quaint,
squat, stoop.shouldered, long-haired
old man to stranger as the noted
General Billy" Ryder. But we fear
he will be sadly missed from those
gatherings in the future, unless he
goes as a missionary, for report has
it he is actually converted.

The New York Board OF Trade and

be, is sending out circulars and
pamphlets, portraying Americas
needs on the high seas. 1t appears
to us at this distance very much a
systematic effort to create II senti-
ment among the people on that
question which will enable ship sub
sidy bill to be pushed through con-
gress, enriching some ship building
syndicate at the expense OF a credu-
lous public. We are unalterably OPP
posed To such a scheme.

General


Jefferson City, Aug. 9-Ssm B.
Jeffries will be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for attorney
general next year. There are several
prospective candidates, but none
have actually announced themselves.
Jeffries did not authorize an an
nouncementin the usual way but told
few Of his friends OF his intentions
last night.
Mr.. Jeffries has been assistant at
torney general for seven years or in
other words, ever since E. c. Crow
was made attorney general. He is q
young man and enjoys distinction

Frank Hagerman, OF Kansas City,
and Morton Jourdan, OF st. Louis,
who have been on opposite sides Of
important cases with him, say he is
a good lawyer and strong fighter.
As much can be said OF his personal
character. His record Ia clean. He
has done an enormous amount Of
work since he has been in Office.

POPE HAS HEART DISEASE.

The doctors for the fist time had
a chance to thoroughly examine his
holiness. They found, it Is said, the
pope was suffering from heart disease,
which is in a well advanced stage.
The physicians told the pope that il
hscontinues to work with such ardor
as he has displayed In the past few
days his life will be endangered.
They suggested his immediate re.
moval to the summer residence in the
Vatican garden and total retirement
for a brief period at least.

County and Corn Contests.

Every farmer in the county should
be competitor for the $50 prelimi-
nary corn show prizes offered by the
Worlds Fair Commission. The
above amount has been appropriat.
ed by the State for securing a corn
exhibit from this county, to compete
in the State Show to be held later,
where larger, additional prizes will
be available. The winners OF the
prizes in the State contest will be TAX
en- to st. Louis for inter. state COM
petition. The prizes offered for our
county cover all varieties OF corn.
In addition to this there will be
contests in grasses and all kinds OF
grain. The Commission has just re-
ceived from the printer a small PAM
phlet covering instructions for sgri-
cultural exhibits, Regarding grass
preparation it says: "Cut with a
knife close to the ground. Place
stalks of same length in small bun
dies about the size OF the wrist. Get
several lengths. Spread out on a
smooth floor and let them remain for
two days, then fasten them at the
end next to the ground with a string
and hang them up where mice will
not bother them and in shade for
about five days; then they are ready
to be brought in for competition.
The process described gives the grass
a blend OF the purple, green and yell
low colors," All expense of trans.
portation and final exhibition, pre-
paration is paid by the Commission.
The pamphlets may be had for the
asking, by dropping q card to the
Missouri Worlds Fair Commission,

Severe Attack Of Grip.

"When I had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) actually
cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank W. Perry, Editor of the En-
terprise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is
the honest truth. I at times kept
from coughing myself to pieces by
taking teaspoonful of this remedy,
and when the coughing spell would
come on at night I would take dose
and it seemed that in the briefest ir-
terval the cough would pass eff and I
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. I had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because I had never tried it
for such purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and I had not
used the contents of one bottle be-
fore Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu.'

catarrh Cannot be Cured

With local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the diseases.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Cstarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is
not quack medicine. It was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years and is a
regular prescription. 1t is composed
of the best tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, acting
directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing Catarrh.

Sike, how did you and Old Big

Boys, I tell you that crossing creeks
such an evening as last Sunday was,
especially on footback is rather disa-
greeable, if not ticklish. You all

about sundown.
Mr.. John Amick was pulling the
yellow cats last Saturday evening
He caught 20 cats weighing from
one-half to three and a half pounds
apiece; also three eels of the largest
size and one rabbit. John outran the
dogs and caught the rabbit himself
I tell you, John is a "natchel" born
fisherman, hunter and runner.
Mr.. George Fl. Koon finished
threshing peas last week. He thresh-
ed 1851 bushels. This is the 'arg.
est crop that the Dutch Fork has ever
raised. That's right, farmers, peas
is the best and cheapest crop that we
can plant. Peavines are the best of
food for stock and We improve our
land by planting them.
Where is John Dooley? l. he dead
or has he taken unto himself wife?
John, where is Pid and his black

Last Friday night the young peo-
pie of our section enjoyed one of the
old break downs again at Mr.. Ruben
Davis. The old step was kept up
till IL o'clock. That's right, boys
and girls, erjoy yourselves while you
are young.
Boy, don't call that old man in the

80 as to catch the Charleston fleeing
wagons which are said TO be loaded

Heyward is firm in his determination

it is not done, and in this determi-
tion be will meet with the approval,
encouragement and assistance of all
law abiding citizens. One day re-
Gently, Chicco, of Charleston, who
has heretofore been greater than
the State of South Carolina, called
upon the Governor in regard to a
compromise, but was given to under
stand in no uncertain notes that moth
ing but an unconditional surrender
would be considered and that here
after he must obey every law of
his adopted State like any other citi-
zen, or, like John Browns ghost, keep
marching on.
Admiral Crowinshield, the intrep-
id ~ naval officer who undertook to
direct naval maneuvers around Cuba
during the Spanish-Amarican war,
from the City of Washington where
there was no danger of being hit
by Spanish shells, has got on high
horse because the navy department
saw ft to transfer his flagship to an
other squadron and has asked to be
placed on the retired list. Be it said
to the credit of the department his
request was promptly granted and
he will come home to spend the bal
ance of natural life on shore where
it is hoped he will learn to become 8
wiser if sadder man. He was the
chief conspirator in the disgraceful
effort to steal the glory from the gal
liant Schley for hiving won the most
brilliant naval victory this world has
ever witnessed and to place the lau-
rel wreath on the brow of another
who was twelve miles away when the
glorious battle was fought and won.
At the close of the last session of
Congress the term of Hon. John L.
McLaurin, as Senator from South
Carolina expired, and he retires to
the shades of private life carrying
with him the sincere wishes for his
future success and happiness from
thousands of warm hearts in South
Carolina. Senator McLaurin proved
himself to be the ablest statesman
that the State has had in the Senate
Chamber since the days of Calhoun,
and it will be many a long day be-
fore she will have another, we opine,
who will equal him in ststescraft.
His retirement from public life is a
direct blow to the State as we'll as to
all her varied interests, and SO sure
as the night follows the day; so sure
as ''truth crushed to the earth shall
rise again" will the day come when
this fatal blunder will be fully rea-
lized and the great wrong which has
been committed against him in the
name of Democracy be acknowledged
and MIR. McLaurin's sincerity of pur-
pose vindicated. He has been sue
ceeded by Hon. A. G. Litimer, a gen.
tleman of wide experience in national
affairs and of considerable legislative
ability, and he now wears the toga
of McLaurin.
