Beware of Olntments for CatsrrE
that Contain Mercury.

AS mercury will surely destroy the
sense ofsmell and derange the whole
system when entering it through the
mucous surface. Such articles
should never be used7except on pro.
scriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co
Toledo, o., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting d.
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surface of the system. In buying
Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get
the genuine. 1t is taken internally

Hon. Harvey Jordan's Ad-
dress to Cotton Growers,
CONTINUED from First page

The spinners have recently adj
vanced the price of yarns and
cotton goods generally. The
trade is buying heavily at al vanc-
ed prices. Let the producers re-
fuse to market their cotton at
present depressed prices for
the raw material, while the spin
ners are advancing the prices of
the manufactured goods. Move
the crop slowly. Reduce the
heavy receipts, and prices will
soon not ONLY regain themselves
throughout the interior, but can
be forced up to a still higher
standard. The long drouth has
materially reduced the yield, and
the crop will fall far short of
original expectations.
Now is the time to act. Don't
wait until after the crop has
been sold to lament over what
might have been if the crop had
been sold slowly. The yield
will not be much, if any, larger
than the crop of 1908. The
mills are willing to pay better
prices because the demand for
cotton goods is heavy at better
prices than prevailed year ago.
Assert your rights in the
markets of the country and re-
fuse to be longer dictated to by
a horde o. vampires, who are
busily enga ged in the earnest en-
deavor to suck the 1ifeblood Of
their victims for selfish, individ-
ual gain. Stand firm all along
the line, and success is ours.

GOOD RUNNING ORDER.
Everything, Including the Bar

by the Parker Amusement company.
over 5000 people visited the Pike last
night. The weather was threatening
but the rain did not come until the
show was nearly over so the people
did not mind. The attractions were
even better than on Monday evening
they having been put in better run
ming order yesterday. All of the bark
ers were in good voice and the gates
registered a sufficient number OF peo-
PIE to make the show paying propo-
sition.
AS usual the Coliseum was the fav-
orite attraction with the crowd. This
is the show which contains the fea-
lures of the Parker Amusement com
pany. Only one performance is given
during the evening and that one be-
gins at 9 o'clock. Nearly everyone
who visited the Pike attended this per-

by the fact that she still troubles this

a FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT.
Negroes and White Men Make Thing.
Lively.

At a celebration of the grand cake
walk at the opera house last night
several negroes went out hunting for
trouble. In front of the opera house
after the show a tall thin negro
named Joe Brown started something
with Eddie Wright, better known as
Crook George Burghart's chauf-
feur and general utility man. Eddie
climbed up the slim one and punched
his face. AS the tall one seemed to
be the aggressor, officer Allison
arrested him and started to the sta
ton. He made dire threats at Ali
son, and a number of other negroes
tried to tear the clothing off the po-
iceman. A white man in the crowd
evidently took the officers part, as a
negro punched his nose and then ran,
holly pursued by the white man.
At the corner of Third and Kansas
avenue later in the evening, a big
negro walked up to a little soldier
who was the worse for wear and
booze, and knocked him down. The
cavalryman got up and the negro
ran. The soldier was very angry
about it, and said that his sergeant
had taken his revolver away from him
not ten minutes before. He seemed to
deplore the fact that he didn't have
a gun, which was quite natural.

Governor Oden Goes toParis to Secure
a Candidate for Governor.

Paris, June 1.-Gov. OdeII of New York
arri7g1 late this afternoon and went to
the Hotel Ritz owing to the lateness Of
his arrival and did not call at the embas-
sy or elsewhere.
Gov OdelTs coming is attracting much
interest because of published reports that
one of the purposes Of his visit is to in
duce Ambassador Porter to accept the
candidacy for governor of New York.
When the Associated Press asked Gov.
Oden about the report he replied that he
had come abroad for a short rest, intend
ing to remain week and then return to
New York in time to attend the Repub-
lican national convention He would see
Ambassador Porter tomorrow. As they
were both from New York and greatly in
terested in New York affairs, it would be
natural that they should discuss condi-
lions there. Beyond this the governor did
not desire to make a statement.

that it makes more work for the
