MRS. CARLTON's WONDERFUL
 STORY.
Maine Woman's Thrilling Experier,
 Duplicated fin Montgomery.

There are scores of families in Mont gomery and near by towns who will read with interest the wonderful expe- rience of Mrs. A. L. Carlton, one of the best known women in Rockland, Me, Her statements are confirmed by the physicians who treated her and by e H. Pendleton. the druggist who sold her Mi-o-na, natures cure for dyspep- sia.
 Mrs. Carlton says: q suffered with stomach trouble fo0 eight years, grow ing worse all the time. Three of the best doctors in Maine diagnosed my case as cancer of the stomach and de- clared could not live two months Utterly discouraged with their treat ment I began using Mi-o-na and com menced tn gain at once. At this time I was reduced to almost skin and bones, as I had lost nearly 100 pounds during my sickness, but when I began to take Mi-o-na, my flesh was built up andI gained 22 12'tbs. the first month. When I discharged my physicians, was suffering great pain and distress, and vomiting from two to six times a day, but after the first weeks use of Mi-o-na. the pain ceased and the vom- iting stopped entirely. I have taken only six packages of these wonderful tablets, but my health is about restor- saved my life"
 E. G. Fowler is local agent for Mi-o- na. which sells for 50 cents a box, and offers 1t under personal guarantee that if 1t does not cure the worst form of stomach trouble and resulting disog- ders. the money will be refunded.

NOT MUCH CONSOLATION.

The Kansas City Journal is not as much eiated over the Republican ma- jorlty for Roosevelt in Missouri as it might have been under different cir cumstances, because. as 1t Is compelled to admit. the result was caused by the failure of Democrats to vote for Par ker. It states, in discussing the re- suit. that about 5o.Oo0 voters failed to go to the polls. and they were practi- cally all Democrats" The plurality for Roosevelt Is about 2S,O0O, so 1t is very plain that if the Democrats had done their duty Parker and Folk would have carried the State by practically the same pluralities. The Journal says:
 The fact that so many Democrats stayed at home in Missouri is highly gratifying in view of the results, but 1t does not promise as much for the future as if they had gone to the polls and voted for Roosevelt. When par tfsans once cast their ballots for the candidate for President it Is easy for them to do the same thing again: but if they merely refrain from voting. their party ''rAeord" has not been seriously mar

A TOUCHING COMPLEMENT.

The papers have all had something to say about the presentation of coon to the President during his trip to St. Louis. Some of them imagine that 1t was presented by . Democrat. and that 1t was done as sort of slur on him, but The Kansas City Star tells us all about 1t. The animal was given him at Denison Mills Township. Ohio. one of the Republican strongholds of the State and The Star thus comments on the incident:
 So this coon. rendered to the Presi- dent at Denison. must be regarded by the Chief Executive as symbo1ical of patriotism as pure and o devotion to Repubifcanism as stalwart as can be found, anywhere between the two oceans. It Is not to be inferred that the sdill township rooter for the Presi- dent desires a postofnce or a clerkship or the job of an inspector or any specific reward for his devotion. The people in Mill township are Republi- cans by instinct, and they thrive on that faith just as the 'coons in the region about Denison and Uhrichville thrive and fatten on the rich mast and nstsa ,ns nlumPi yaiiesa poultry of the fertile Still
 All that is very touching. Let other great men send to the President their eagles. their zebras, their ostriches and the like. but Mills Township. Ohio. i'm mortaiizes itself by giving him a real live, ring-tailed coon as a reminder of the devotion of its people to the stall wart Republisanism so dear to the Roosevelt heart Some might be mean enough to say that such a present Is too suggestive, but The Star doesn't view 1t that way. and thinks 1t a deli cate compliment in the President to send this specimen of Prooyon Lotor to the national ZOO. where 1t may be seen by an admiring nation." and where. we presume. 1t will live and flourish as an animated evidence of Mills Township Republicans. Hoch der coon!

The Italian Ambassador will Come
 South Next Year
 Washington. Nov. 29.-Pressure of official work has forced Baron Mayor des Planches. the Italian Ambassador. to postpone his trip through the South until next year.
 Shortly after the adjournment of Congress he will visit Florida, Louis- lana and Texas in the interest of worthy, respectable Italians fn New York and other large cities who desire to escape from their crowded surround ings and make homes for themselves in a warmer climate. where they may op- crate truck farms and become self supporting citizens.
 It Is understood that the South is anxious to obtain immigrants who arc law-abiding and can become self-sun- porting. The proposition has been made by certain railroad interests whose lines operate in several South ern States to furnish tracts of land to Italian farmers at a reasonable rate and enable them to build cottages tn be paid for on easy terms.
 To inquire into the practicabilitv of this proposition will be the object or the Ambassadors trip.

The Sugar Crop.
New Orleans Picayune.
 The sugar harvesting seasor

New orleans flcayune.
 The sugar harvesting season has now half, although many of the large mills promise to be at work this year well into January. From all over the sugar section come reports of the most now to be no doubt at all that the larg- est crop on record will be harvested.
 The past week has developed some little rain. but. scarcely more than has not rained enough to delay field work or impede the taking off of the crop; in fact, the season in this re- spect has been a most remarkable one so far. There has been considerable windrowing during the week, in order to protect large crops from possible freezes as the season draws to a close. As labor has been scarce in some To- calities, 1t has been necessary to sus- pend milling operations on some places, in order to permit the cane cutters to windrow cane. These delays have not been great, however. and from most districts the labor situation is reported to be steadily improving. The fine weather has minimized the inconven- fence from labor shortage, although 1t Is becoming yearly more apparent that scarcity of labor is one of the most serious problems the sugar plant. CT has to contend with.
 While for extraordinary sugar ex- traction no records are being made this year, when compared with the remark able season of 1903 in that respect, the sacchrine content of the juice Is good, and even improving. In the matter of tonnage. however, great records are be- ing made. That the crop of cane is un- commonly heavy there can now be no doubt whatever The stubble crop. which went to the mill first. gave large yields. but now that the plant cane Is being harvested, even greater results are being realized. While planters are not making public the figures of tonnage, they are not hesitatlng to ad- init that they are securing splendid yields. some even acknowledging to record yields per acre.
 The good prices prevailing have fn- creased the desire to make as much high-testing sugar as possible, which has still further diminished the avail able supply of high grade molasses For a time considerable syrup was made, but the good sugar prices have caused a desire to turn all the cane possible into sugar; The market. which has been excellent all season, CTS confidently expect five-cent sugar.
 Under such favorable conditions 1t is not surprising that money Is being made by the sugar producers. The planter that fails to make money this year ought to turn to some other line of business, as he Is clearly unfitted for the sugar industry. The results of this season will be most beneficial to the industry as a whole. It has served to convince the planters that there Is money to be made in the sugar busi- ness with reasonably favoring condi- tions.

red, and they are likely to fall into line In the next campaign and vote as of yore.
 The difference is important. Of course the Republicans are gratihed be- cause the Democrats stayed at home, or voted for Folk and not for Parker for in either case 1t gave the State to Roosevelt. but there is a wide differ- ence between apathy and party treachs- ry, so far as the future is concerned. We do not know the private or public reasons which caused so many Demo- crats to fail to vote for Judge Par ker. but evidently they have not aban- doned the Democratic Party or they would have gone the whole way and supported Roosevelt. Two, or four years hence Missouri may be the same old Democratic State that it has been for so many long years. and make up for the defection this year. We don't think the Republicans can get much consolation from the result this year.
