MiMionaire's Poor Stomach /.
The worn-out stomach Of the
over-fed millionaire Is often pa
raded In the public prints as a hor-
rible exomple of the evils attend
ant on the possession of great
wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proper
ton is far greater among the toll
ers. Dyspepsia a,d Indigestion
are rampant among these pco-
pie, and they suffer far worse
t~ortures than the millionaire un =
less they avail themselves of a
standard medicine like Greenc's
August Flower, which has been a
favoritc household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over thirty
five years. August Flower rouse 8

Climate Cures,

The influence OF climate condi-
tons In the cure OF consumption
liz very much overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient
too, can do much better at home
~ proper attention to food digcs-
zion, and n regular use of German
Syrup. Free cxpectoration in the
morning Is made certain by Ger
man Syrup, 80 Is a good nights
rest and the absence OF that weak
ening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the
exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread OF the
consumptive, can be prevented or
stopped by taking German Syrup
literally aud regularly. Should
you be able to 90 to n warmer
cline, you will find that of the
thousands of consumptives there,
the few who are benefited and re-
gain strenth are those who use

The Osccola Republican wants
to know why stealing n chicken In
Missouri is n felony. while solicit
ing a bride Is only a mi sdcmcanor.
The reason is possibly because the
gentlemen who cngns In the

p%ropriating poultry were not on
hands with n few thousand dollar
bills to prevent legislation In that

Better Conditions.

f,f' h'f W. hit'hns cAAklN BiDlttN
Use In grand old Missouri of a bet
ter condition In matters political
for the %futuri, and that promise,
we are glad to say, Is not confined
to ono political party-it exists in
both and II Is well that this shoul d
be so. Every citizen OF Missouri
regardless of his politics, should
be glad to see the rank and file of
the party to which he is opposed,
rs well as the party to which he
belongs, waking up to the impor-
lance OF an honest and efficient
government, waking up TO the i'm =
portance OF selecting men for OH
cial position who are honest and
capable and who will conduct the
affairs of state for the best inter-
csts of the state and its people aud
not III their own interests. Whcth-
or the Democratic masses succeed
in having their way in naming Mr..
Folk for thin Democratic candidate
for governor or not the upheaval
that is going on will be a lesson
and a warning to the machine that
will result in good and that will in
time smash the machine. That
may not be done in 1901, but IL
will be done In time. This may
not be the end of the machine, but
1t is the beginning OF the end. 1t
may not mean the nomination of
Mr.. Folk for governor, but ii will
mean the nominatlan OF possibly
an ADLER and better man for that
position some time in the future.
1t Is the beginning of n revolution,
and some n has said that rcvo-
buttons do not go backward. The
plain people, the rank and file,
may not win the first battle, but II
they are in dead earnest, II they
r determined, they will win In
time, and 1t looks very much AS II
the rank and file OF the Democratic
party OF the State OF Missouri Is
now determined and in dead earn
est.
The rank and file of the Re-
publican party in Missouri, too, is
manifesting decidedly encourage
ing signs OF waking up to the sit
uatihn In that party. They have
long since grown tired of the fac
tional quarrels of would.bc leaders
and bosses owe the petty ques-
ton of Federal patronage, and we
believe the time has come when
they will declare that II must cease
and that the $4,000 Republican
voters of the State of Missouri
shall no longer :be Inundated by
being used as a leverage TO lpry
open a few Federal Offices. Hard
ly a day passes that the courfe OF
the Gazette in calling attentign to
this matter Is net commended by
Republicans at home and abroad
The country newspapers, too, as
well as the city press, is giving
the matrer earnest attention.
They are speaking right out in
meeting.
When the time comes around for
the holding of Republican prima-
ries again there will be n better
attendance. Delegates WILL be
elected pledged to help bring about
a better state Of party affairs. The
Republican party Of Missouri In
the state campaign Of 1904 will
be In line for Republican principle
and will put forward men who will
fight for principal and not for
spoilr.--Brookneld Gazette.

The Joplin News-Hcrald tells
the following story, which it says
was brought to town by a travel

clusion of ono of his sermons said:
'Let all in the house who are pay
ing their debts stand up, In
stantly every man, woman and
child with one exception, rose to
their feet. The preacher seated
them and said: snow every man
not paying his debts stand up"
The exception noted n care-worn

One of Missouri's rural delivery
routes Is served by an automobile
that covers the twcnty-four miles
