her stomach, she had frequent dizzy
spells, her limbs were swollen and pain
full, her nerves were quite shattered, She
was unable to sleep and she was many
times on the verge of heart failure.
"Physicians gave her only temporary
relief. Finally the favorable reports of
some relatives and neighbors led her
to make trial of DR.. Williams Pink.
Pills for Pale People. She experi~
rienced improvement almost at once.
They relieved her sleeplessness, the
smothering sensations have disappeared
and have not annoyed her for years.
They freed her from stomach trouble
and the dropsical tendency was miti--
gated. The progress of the rheuma-,
tism, which had begun to make her
fingers crooked, was stayed and the pain
was banished. In every respect they
gave her more help than any other remS.
edy she had ever used, and she is today
in better health than for many years.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills are our sta~

habit of recommending them to all who

many, because the animals had almost
undermined the whole island on which
the park is laid out, is interesting be-
cause it shows that the beaver is not
purely American animal. Instead
of that being so, the fact is that beav-

WINNING OF MISSOURI.
Democratic Crookedness Finally Over
come by Honest Republican
Methods.

It has been a work of years to make
Missouri a republican state. The credit
for the change must be distributed
among all the educative influences that
have been steadily, earnestly and dis
interestedly at work to reach the con-
victions of the people. When a ma
jority of the voters of the state con-
cluded that the dominant party was
unfaithful, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, its speedy defeat became a
certainty. Testimony to this effect had
to be piled up persuasively and
clinched beyond the possibility of de-
NAL before substantial progress could
be made. A party long in power can
not be overthrown without prolonged
siege of this nature. Democratic news
papers in Missouri claim that the state
was lost because many members of the
party failed to vote. How far this view
is correct cannot be known until the
full official returns are published and
exact comparisons are possible. But in
any case, the voter who stays at home
in a year of general election is dissatis-
fed with his party to the extent of
condemning its platform or nominees,
or both The attitude of censure is
there, though it stops short of a vote
for the other party. The democrats
lost Missouri in 1894 by the stay-at-
home tendency, and carried the state
therefore only by change of party
front and a fusion with popuists, to-
gether with the aid of partisan laws in
20 oIcif IN, ba
cities.
Republican Missouri is here through
the persistent efforts to present the
facts about political conditions in the
state. No one man or set of men car
ried Missouri. 1t was won by the
searchlight of truth, and every jealous
republican worker and newspaper In
the state assisted. 1t is three years
since the Cardwell investigation proved
that legislatures in this state were
pledged in advance to corporations that
contributed literally to democratic
campaign funds. Democratic state
chairmen and some democratic state
officials, it was shown, handled this Sc
cret money, and, after the legislature
met, personally importuned members to
vote for monopolistic interests, on the
ground that they had supplied cam
paign cash. The Cardwell case was
suddenly stopped by scandalous pay
ment of hush money. At the same time
strong light was turned on the con-
version of the school fund in govern
ment bonds into a debt supported by
state taxation. That hole was patched
by tell-tale constitutional amendment
two years ago, but in all except the
three state board cities there was a ma
1ority against the juggling amendment.
MiSsourians had been shown to this i'm
portant extent in the election of 1902.
Then came the alum developments,
leading to the resignation of the lieu
tenant governor, and the exposure of
another state official, who was heavily
scratched and defeated for another term
in the recent election. The democratic
platform, outside of it's contradictory
Endorsement of state administrations
for 80 years, was an indictment of

GATHERING IN THE SHEEP.
Bryan in the Shepherd Act Out After
the Wanderers from
His Fold.

Shepherd Bryan has issued a call for
the wandering sheep to come home.
There are comparative degrees even in
defeat, and Mr. Bryan holds that he de-
serves the support of the democratic
party in the future because he was not
licked so badly as Parker says the Troy
(N " Times.
Bryan charitably says of Parker: "He
did as well as he could" This suggests
the western fiddler, whose audience was
advised for the same reason not to shoot
him; also that epitaph in the same sec
tion of the country which read: He
did his darnedest; angels could do no
more"
While Mr.. Bryan is disposed to let the
ex-judge down easy he insists that Par
ker's gold telegram was embarrassing
to the democrats of the west and south"
and that although he was supported by
Cleveland and the other boilers of 1896
his defeat was greater than Bryan's in
spite of that bolt.
Bryan is undoubtedly correct in say
ing-and the conditions justify his say
IuB lI-IHdL lHe result was que 10 the
fact that the democratic party attempted
to be conservative" And Bryan is
equally accurate when he says that
honest and well-meaning democrats
must either get into the republican par
ty or join the democrats of the west and
south, because there is no middle
ground.
Shepherd Bryan is wrong in his belief
as to what is good for the American peo-
pie. But he is fair fighter, and every
body knows just where he stands. This
was more than could be said of the man
whose nomination was secured by
crooked and indefensible methods"
first by the policy of silence and then by
double dealing. and who deserved the
pulverizing treatment which was given
to him by the people.
Let the Bryanites get together under
their typical and rightful leader, and let
the fight be an open one. The people will
then dispose of Mr. Bryan and his sheen
with just as much alacrity as they at
tackled the democratic mutton recently.

Argentina has the greatest number
of sheep of any country, but derives
relatively the least benefit from them.
This is due, in part, to the quality not
having yet been sufficiently refined in
part to negligence in the care of the
sheep, and lastly, to the prevalence of
scab, the curing of which has not been
made obligatory. In Australia curing
this disease was made compulsory 80
years ago.
