Caution

This is not a gentle word-but
when you think how liable you are
not to purchase the only remedy
universally known and a remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medl-
cine 10 the world since 1868 for the
cure and treatment of consumption
and throat aud lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists
and others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, but for
severe coughs, bronchitis, croup-and
especially for consumption, where
there is difficult expectoration and
coughing during the nights and morn
lngs, there is nothing like German
Syrup. The % cent size has just beer
introduced this year. Regular size

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

Columbia Mo-, June 23, 1908,
The week has been very favorable
for farm work and the cultivation of
corn has been vigorously pushed
The bulk Of the crop is now clean,
some having been cultivated the third
time, and generally has a good color,
but is not making as rapid a growth as
it should, owing to the cool nights. In
a few counties particularly in the east
ern sections, the crop is quite uDprom-
ising, Planting and replantlDg have
progressed rapidly but are mo- yet
completed. In the northwestern
counties much of the overflow land has
been replanted during the week. In
the southeastern counties some corn
has been laid by. The crop, as a
whole, is backward and uneven, and
in some districts the acreage will be
much smaller than ufual. The cool
nights have been upfavorable for cot
ton, and in portions Of New Madrid
county it is becoming very lousy, bui
the crop is generally well cultivated
and making fair progress. Wheat

Adiudged Insane.

Robt. Jesse was adjudged insane in
Probate Judge Gleason's court last
Thursday. He was restrained by G..
w. SteYens, undersheriff. He was OK.
amined by a physicians commission
composed of DR.. L. A. Coleman, DR.. j.
I. Cushenbery and DIR. S. Koclell. They
pronounced him insane and assigned
excessive use of alcohol and religious
mania as the principal causes.
Mr.. Jesse has been more or less un.
balanced for number of years. Last
week he was worse than usual and
many of the citizens thought that the
public safety as well as his own welfare
demanded that he undergo treatment
and have some care. Therefore it was
decided by the authorities to take
official action.
County Attorney Tincher and G.. M.
Martin represented the legal end Of the
action.
Mr.. Jesse's principal hobby is on tho
subject OF religion. He has an idea
that he is one of the apostles, is inpen.
etrable to bullets, Is immune from
death under the care and protection of
God and that the Lord often appears to
him in visions. He still offers to stand
the test of his theory by permitting
any person to shoot at him at any time,
any distance and under any conditions,
heto be unarmed. A few years ago
he showed gun at Howard Parker in
controversy involving his theory
and was arrested on a charge of intent
to kill but was acquitted. SO far as is
known he never committed any other
violence but from some of his remarks
it was feared that there might be dan
ger.
Roberts brothers Charley ndGeorge,
came up from Alva Friday. They are
very much dissatisfied and insist that
1t is not case Of insanity. Legal steps
were threatened but so far they have
done nothing.
He will be taken to the insane asylum
as soon as Judge Gleason gets per.
mission of the authorities.
