decided by jury in the circuit court

"GRAND OLD Man"

In England it was only necessary
to mention that "Grand Old Man,
when everyone knew that Gladstone
was referred to. Those same words
applied to a statesman OF this coun-
try and a vast majority OF all parties
would know that the Missouri senior
senator, Francis NJ Cockrell, was be
ing mentioned. He has proven by a
life time of devotion to public trusts
that he is grand in all that applies
to citiz n, statesman and u
patriot. Frank Cockrell is one OF
the very few strong party men who
has not felt the sting OF bitter parti-
zan criticism. So universal is he es-
teemed OF all men, that his public
positions are credited to honest con-
victions, and as above personal crit.
icism. While he is a strong party
man, he has never been considered a
politician. For thirty years he has
served the people OF Missouri in the
United States senate, and the hum.
blest citizen of this commonwealth
could command his attention and
supportior any just measure affecting
his interests as readily as the most
influential or wealthy man in the
state. During his long services in
that body many have eclipsed hin,
in polished oratory, but no one has
closer attention OF his
colleagues or the people OF the whole
country on subjects effecting the
country's welfare.
His pre- eminent qualifications for
the presidency has been under dis
cussion throughout the country for
some time. Last week about 800
representative Missourians met in
st. Louis to formulate Il plan to
bring his name before the next Dem
ocratic National convention in July.
A strong organization was perfected,
the purpose OF which is to Use all
honorable means to secure the nom.
nation for the Grand Old Man" of
politics. This object 10
sought not alone for the honor Of
Missouri, but because we believe he
would be the strongest candidate
that the Democrats could nominate.
He not only enjoys the universal re
spect OF all parties, but has the con-
Rdence OF the vast business interests
OF the country and these have to be
considered in the selection OF any
with the hope Of success at
the polls. Senator Cockrell would
receive practically every vote cast for
Mr.. Bryan, best les there would be no
enemy's country to invade. We are
for Frank Cockrell because OF his
many virtues. We are for him be.
cause he is the strongest man We can
nominate. We are for him because
we love him.

EXPERIENCE
In the Treatment Of Humours
with More Than Magical
Effect with
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
4 Remarkable testimonial from
a Most Intelligent and
Trustworthy Lady.

"a tumor came on my neck and In q
day or two it was as large as half an
orange. was very much alarmed for
fear 1t was malignant. My friends
tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
insist on using the knife, I would not
consent to 60. Instead, 1 got Cuticura
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. I
took the former according to direc.
tions, and spread a thick layer Of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing 1t would battle my neck in very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In q
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to head, when it
broke. Every morning 1t was opened
with large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and yellow,
cheesy, humorous matter came out. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumor. The soreness that had ex-
tended down into my chest was all
gone, and my neck now seems to be
perfectly well.
"About five or six years ago my sis
ter had a similar experience, used the
Cuticura Remedies with magical effect.
l am willing you should use my testi-
monial, with the further privilege Of
revealing my name and address to such
persons as may wish to substantiate
the above statements by personal letter

Albert 0. Allen, State Auditor.

The above is very good likeness
OF our popular and efficient State
Auditor, probably known personally
to more men than any other pull lie
man in Missouri. He has thorough
knowledge of the details OF his Office,
having served as deputy under Mr.
Seibert for twelve years. So prof.
Gent has he become in state fiscal
affairs that he is veritable walking
encyclopedia OF knowledge on those
subjects His efficiency is so well rec
ognized and his popularity is 80 gem
eral that no one has had the temeri
ty to oppose him for the second term
and it looks like he will be nominated
by reclamation.

sterling Coin.

The origin of sterling" as applied
to coined money is thus given in "a
Short Treatise Touching Sheriffs' Ac-
counts" by Sir Matthew Hale, 1853:
Current coin of the realm is of gold
or silver. with an alloy of copper, at
least from the time of Henry L.. and
this alloy gave the denomination of
Sterling to those coins.
"Spclman supposeth it to take that
name from the Esterlings who came
over and reformed our coin, to that
alloy-of this opinion was Camden.
Possibly in those times Peny was
called Sterling. without any other
reason than the use of the times, as
other names grow, for the old Act Of
Henry III. tells us that Denarius An
glice Sterlngus dicitur Ga denarius, or
penny is called in English a Sterling).
and because this was the root of the
measure of silver coin; therefore all
our coin of the same alloy was also
called Sterling
