Many remedies highly recommended to
cure colds are made up OF alcohol and
narcotics. The alcohol spurs on the
weakened heart and the danger is
passed for time, but the disease gets
more secure foothold when it
promptly returns as is the invariable
result. The opiates, by deadening the
sensibility OF tile mucous membranes
relieve the cough, but do not reach The
root OF the disease, leaving the lungs
filled up with waste matter which Ma
ture intends to be raised and thrown
out. The Golden Medical Discov-

trouble, stamping out cffectually all the
symptoms. There is not particle
Of alcohol or opiate Of any kind in
DR.. Picrce's medicines, as he stands
rcadyto prove in the most substantial
manner.

Ths Control Of tha ALTON.

NEW YORK, Sept 30.-The holders
OF Chicago s. Alton railway preferred
stock will receive notice that the com.
mittee with which they deposited
their shares under agreement Of De
cember %, 1908, have sold the stock
for s84 per share each. The identity
Of the purchasing interest is not dis
closed. Kuhn. Loeb s. Co., acting for
the COMMITTEES, will distribute after
October 3 pro rata shares Of the net
proceeds OF the sale.
The agreement authorized the sale
Of the stock on or before to-day, and
the announcement now made adds In
terest to the already interesting stu
alton that developed recently when II
appeared that control OF the Alton
had passed from the Hartman inter.
ests. When the Alton preferred pool
was formed it was supposed that the
stock was to figure IN some deal with
the Union Pacific. Lately, however,
Edwin Hawley and John W. Gates
were reported to have obtained con-
troll OF the Alton by large purchases In
the open market and the acquisition
of large block at private sale. They
were supposed TO have been acting for
or with the Rock Island interests. 1t
was said to-day that the new interests
would be able to vote 225. 900 out Of
100000 shares at the annual
meeting OF the Alton stockholders
next Tuesday.

THE GREATNESS OF A GREAT
STATE
From Waiter Williams book on "The state
aFfcznur -

From Walter Williams book on The State o
Missouri"
Diverse industries, an extended
crop season and unexampled fertility
Of soil make, because Of skill, intelli-
gence and energy Of the people a pros
porous community. The Missouri
river bottom land is like the n lie land
for area and richness. The prairies
afford abundant barTeSts. The upland
are unexcelled for fruit. Missouri is
an agricultural State, but it supports
three cities Of oVer 100000 people, a
larger number than any other State
save four. 1t leads In general agricul.
ture, but it also ranks foremost or in
the front rank In all other industries.
In consequence its people are prosper
Gus. On the first day Of May they had
on deposit in banks an average Of sl36
for every man, woman and child in
Missouri, a larger amount than in any
neighboring state. There has never
been ageneral crop failure in Missouri.
There are no lean years TO eat up the
years OF iatness. Labor has its due.
The hours OF labor for the average
toiler have decreased In a year from
9.5 TO e.20 while bis wage has grown
from 1850 TO s27.77' The wealth In
home and bank is evidence Of mater
ial prosperity. The M~lssourian does
not, however, neglect those things
that make for the higher life. School,
church, the press, are encouraged. The
largest circulation in proportion TO.
population Of any newspaper in any
In any city In the world is that OF a
Missouri newspaper In a Missouri.
town. Massachusetts, Is properly re-
garded as a center Of literary culture.
There are more magazines and other
periodicals circulated in proportion to.
population in Missouri than in Mas
sachuSetts and more books used from
the public library in Kansas City than
In Boston.
The government Of Missouri is well
administered. The State has an as
sessed valuation Of 1897, 962, 237, and
a tax rate Of II cents on the 500.
This is the lowest Of any state. In
1902 the tax rate In Nebraska was 63
cents, In Kansas 81 cents, in Iowa 40
cents and In Illinois 40 cents. Des-
pite this phenomenally low rate Mis-
souri, supports its State institutions
literally. Its laws are enforced,
property rights held sacred and ad-
ministration OF State affairs conducted
with economy.

No one who Is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity Of ChamberIains
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip efiectually and per.
manently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. II is
also a certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no Opium
or other harmful substance and may
be given as confidently to a baby as to
an adult 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all Of these facts are taken in
TO consideration it is not surprising
that people in foreign lands, as well
as at home, esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to
take any other after having once used
it. For sale by Buckner s. Whitney.
