WAS WELLSvILLEs PRAYER
FOR RAIN ANSWERED.
Refreshing Rainfall of .6S in. Sun
day Night-Weather Predic-
tions Indicate More,

After an oppressive day from the
beat.a rainfall Of .6s inches Sunday
night revived the dropping spirits OF
the sweltering mortals in town and
pladdened the heart Of every farmer
In this section Of the country. Crops
and Vegetation Of every description
were being literally cooked by the pro
longed drouth and hot sun, but IL is
hoped that the shower Of Sunday
night will save them.
According to the weather forecast,
we may expect showers in the western
portion Monday and possibly Tuesday.
One day last week the citizens OF
Wellsvllle united in their suppllca-
tions to the Almighty for rain, and
Sunday every minister in this city,
and presumably every minister In the
drought section, raised their voices N
prayer from the pulpit that we might
have rain.
Missouri has had several marked
answers to prayer, among them the
day Of universal prayer, set aside by
Gov. Chas. Fl. Hardin, which brought
immediate relief; and this may be
counted as another, as it prevented
repetition of the drought and devasta'
tion OF crops that was visited upon US
a few years ago.

THE Carrollton MOI Democrat edi-
torially says: Ia Mexico, Missouri,
the policeman will get you If you spit
on the sidewalk. In that city there
used to be a lot Of fellows who hunted
the shade and would tell stories BY
the hour, at the same time make a
Johnstown food Of tobacco juice On
the sidewalk. The ladies Of Mexico
would avoid that side Of the square,
but as the sun moved the crowd moved
and by three O'Clock IL vas difficult fol-
the ladies to walk around the square
without running shoes and dresses;
hence the council which in that city
is run by the wives Of the members
passed an ordinance prohibiting ex-
pectOrating on the sidewalk. II is 10
force and effect, there are about a
dozen men out Of business and they
hold daily meetings planning some
way 10 get even with the city dads
The sidewalks around the square are
clean and a lady can wear a long train
withpeTfect safety. There are other
towns in this State that have other
crowds that spit, that ruin other
dresses, that might profit by what
Mexico has accomplished.

NEGRO sPITs BULLET
FROM MOUTH
Al. Buckner, Of Hatton, Galloway
County. Like a Magician, Catches
Bullet in His Mouth, Then
Splits it Out

AL. Buckner, tcolh Of Hatton, Cal
laway county, gave a remarkable ex-
hibition OF bullet proof qualities
Saturday night when Gabe Holt lcol.l
shot him and he spat the bullet upon
the ground.
Roth negroes have had bad blood
between them for sometime and Sat
urday night Buckner called Holt from
bis home presumably to speak TO him.
When in a few feet OF Buckner, Holt
noticed the CLINT Of a knife in his hand
and pulling a revolver fired just as the
other negro started to assault him.
Because OF the moonlight every
thing stood forth in marked relief and
when Holt saw Buckner spit the bull
let out, be turned and ran rapidly
away thinking the shot man was an
apparation. The explanation for this
peculiar happening was the small cal
iber Of the gun, a p pistol. Both
parties have disappeared.

ATHE citizens Of Mexico and Audrain
county should be loyal to home men
and home institutions. We desire TO
commend to their attention the fol-
lowing pertinent editorial from the
Fulton MO- Gazette: "There is not
enough patriotism in Fulton for Full
ton. Let a home man project an en-
terprise, or let a home man attempt
to better his condition, and a certain
class of home people always spring up
to oppose him. The 'knocker' is no
more numerous here than elsewhere,
but Just one would be one too many.
We should cultivate q Fulton spirit
loyalty to home, to home men, to
home institutions and enterprises.
Without it Fulton will never advance
to the place she should occupy, and
her men and institutions will always
have to occupy a subordinate position
in the worlds affairs. 1t is easier To
tear down than to build up, but the
~destroyer's wages are those Of a la
borer, while the builder draws a sal
airy. Let this be Fulton's motto
Fulton, her men, her interests ant
her industries, first and BEST L
every person In the town lived up t.
that sentiment, Fulton would be al
ideal town in less than a year"

CATARRHAL TROUBLES
PREVALENT.
Spring Months Cuuses Catarrh
Breathe Hyomei, and Be Cured.

Catarrhal troubles are more common
at this season than at any other time
Of the year. The sudden change that
comes during the spring months are
productive of many cases OF catarrh
that without proper treatment will
become chronic.
The pleasanteSt, most convenient,
and only scientific method for the
treatment and ure OF catarrh, is
Hyomei. Simply put twenty drops in
the little pocket inhaler that come
with every outfit, and then breathe
1t for three minutes four times a day.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and rs the inhaler will
last a lifetime and there is sufficient
Hyomei for several weeks treatment,
1t is the most economical catarrhal
remedy known. Extra bottles can be
procured for fifty cents. Ask Wool
bridge s. Purdy to show you the strong
guarantee under which they sell
Hyomei.

PRISONERS.
'Lynching Probably Averted by the
Action of Macon and Kirksville
sherifs-Passed Through
This City.

MACON Mo-, June 1S-The sheriff OF
Macon county and the sheriff Of Adair
county exchanged prisoners Saturday
night and thereby probably averted
trouble in both county seats. Sheriff
Graves and a deputy took Lacy Will
Jams quietly out OF town and tagged
the trains. Williams had brutally
attacked a white child and IL was a
very fair guess that be wouldn't have
lived the night through had he stayed
here. In the Kirksville jail vas John
G. Fremont, said to be a professional
crook, who had beat a young farmer
boy over the head with a hammer. To
secure the safety Of the prisoner
Deputy Williams Of Kirksville brought
him here. The Macon jail is now so
full that all except the desperate pri-
soners are kept in the courtyard and
sleep in sheds.
Monday Sheriff Graves passed
through this city with the negro Will
Jams, en- route to Jefferson City where
he will be placed 10 the "Pen" for
safety.
