realization"
Emperor Nicholas, receiving in au-
dience at Tsarskoe Selo tile marshal
of the nobility of Kostroma, a govern
ment of Middle Russia, directed that
the above message be communicated
to the nobility of Kostroma. The
message evidently was designed to be
published to quiet the fears of those
who are impatient at the delays and
who have grown sceptical of the fui-
fillment of the promises contained in
the imperial rescript 1t is very sig

words "convocatiop of representatives

expression employed ID the rescript

GOOD FOR EVERYTHING

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial to the system? If so, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn to purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? If SO,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
tho skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process of renovation
can not help but benefit every part of
the human machinery.

Milwaukee, April 26.-Despite as
surances that the Milwaukee Trust

Bigelow, former president of the First
National bank and confessed defaulter
of more than $1,000,000, crowds of
persons waited long before the open

withdraw their deposits. The depos-
itors gathered at the First National
bank were comparatively few at first,
but the number continued to increase.
Bigelow had been director of the
Milwaukee Trust company, but when
his defalcations became known he
was removed as such by the board of
directors. Notices posted on the bank
windows, which the depositors, mostly
working people, eagerly scanned, an

company was abundantly able and
prepared to meet the demands of all
depositors and creditors.
AS the hour approached for the
opening of the bank the crowds gath

who sought to withdraw their funds
were mostly small depositors who ap-
piled at the savings department of
the First National bank or the Mil

there had been no run at any of the
other banks. Everything at this time
was quiet on the South and West
Sides of the city, the banks In these
sections doing business as usual.
Later In the day the crowds of de-
positors dwindled away and business
at both the First National bank and
the Milwaukee Trust company re-
sumed normal conditions.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is no disease for which such vari-
ed and useless lot OF remedies have been
suggested. To say that it can be cured
is, therefore, bold statement to make,
but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which
enjoys an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment of the
disease. One application OF Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds OF
sufferers have testified to permanent
cures by its use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief and
costs but a trifie? For sale by Stod

THE Mexico LEDGER was establish

bought from ]. Linn Laid by r. NJ.

White bought a paper called the Mes

history Of the Mexico LEDGER is well
and fayorably known TO all Of the peo-
pie OF Missouri. IL has a reputation
for doing things, and occupies an
honorable position The LEDGER has
been under the present management
for thirty years, and has grown and
prospered, and paid its debts. An
alleged letter claimed TO have been
written two year ago by G A KeetOp,
who is nov dead, is being published,
(why wasn't Mr.. Keeton's letters
published before he died) 10 show that
"Bob White bought the Messenger
and changed the name and took the
number and volume Of the LEDGER. -
Mr.. Keeton was also made to say that
somebody was IT. ing 10 ''kill the LED

Of people trying to do that for a good
many years In spite Of the 'killing''
the LEDGER continues TO get there, >
not only on account OF It's honorable

AVERY is TIRED.
He Allows His Little Son to do His
Voting for Senator.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, February 20
-When the gentleman from the
senate go over TO the house side for
joint session at nOo each day 1t is
now looked upon as a monotonous pro-
position. Even the dignitied Senator
Avery, Of Lincoln county, permits his
4-year-old son to catfuu #. NJ. Cock
rell when his name is called to vote.
The fact Of the matter is Secretary
Roach votes for most Of the senators
any way and no one seems to care, not
even the Republican senators. AS a
result it takes Mr.. Roach about one
minute to go through the process Of
calling the senate on joint ballot. All
of which is gratifying to a number Of
gentlemen, who get very hungry when
the noise OF the noon whistle comes
through the open windows these sum-
merry days.

Ex.sEcRETARy OF STATE TO
ASK ss5O,OO o DAMAGES FOR
ISLANDER AND LIBEL.
SUIT 70 Be FILED IN KOBERLY.
Plaintiff to Be Represented by Hon
W. A. Rothwell and Hon. James
A Reed, Two ofthe Ablest
Lawyers in the
West


What will probably be one OF the
most interesting cases eyer tried In
Randolph county is said to be in
process Of formation.
Ex-Secretary OF State, Sam B Cook
is said to be preparing 10 sue the St.
Louis Globe Democrat for SANDER and
libel and to ask damages therefor In
the sum OF $3.50 900. He will be rep
resented by Hon. W. A. Rothwell, of
Moberly, and Hon. James A. Reed, OF
Kansas City. The case will be either
tried here or in Huntsville.
No papers In the case have yet been
filed but a conference between Mr..
Cook and his attorneys has been held
and the necessary documents to start
the suit will soon be in the hands
OF Circuit Clerk NJ. ]. Oily, it is re-
ported.
Mr.. Cook was bitterly abused during
the recent campaign by the Globe and
it is upon some utterance then made
by that paper that he expects to
recover damages Of a large amount.
Regarding the points involved the
Monitor is not informed. They will
develop later when official papers are
Sled. Under ourstatutes the Globe,
doing business in Moberly can be sued
here as well as in st, Louis. For that
reason the case will be tried here.
MeSsrs. Rothwell and Reed are two
of the ablest and most eloquent law
yers in the west and when they get
through with the Globe they will have
it very repentant and may get a big
verdict for Mr.. Cook providing, OF
course, that his position that he has
been slandered and libeled is shown by
evidence and founded upon truth.
Regarding the merits OF the case
we are not posted, but on genera
principles there are many Missourians
| who will be glad to note that SOME
steps are in contemplation whereby
| the venomous mouth Of this metro
politan journal may be stopped from
utteriDg words that reflect shame up
on Missouri and her citizens.

WAS AGENT WITHOUT
AN APPOINTMENT
The Late Station Agent at Caring
ton Was Never Checked in But
Held Position 33 Years.

From the Bloomington uIl) Bulletin.
There has been some talk lately in
regard TO veterans Of the Alton SER
vice, confined chiefly to section men
and station agents. 1t was stated
not long since that Mr.. G. P. Bridge,
the agent at Eikhart was the oldest
In point of service OF any agent on the
Alton system. There is a rival claim
to this, however, from the late station
agent at Darlington, No., on the JEFF
erson City branch, who has several
unique features to his service record.
Up to the time OF his death, Feb. IL
Mr.. NJ. p. Ashworth was station agent
at Darlington for thirty-three years
and there is nothing to show that he
was ever chez xed In or checked out.
Mr.. Ashworth was originally in
railroad construction work, and help
ed to build the Alton line from Mex
leo, Mo-, to Jefferson City. The road
decided on a station at Darlington,
and MI. Ashworth vas put to work
erecting the depot building and when
it was finished he did the painting
inside and out. BY order of the fore
man OF the construction work, Mr..
Ashworth took temporary charge OF
the ONCE, and remained in charge'af-
ter the line began to operate trains.
The stationery and supplies were for
warded TO the agent at Darlington,
and Mr.. Ashworth signed for every
thing as though duly authorized TO do
so.
After t~hirty-three years Of continu-
GUS service without a vacation or lay
of for any purpose, Mr.. Ashworth
died and the travelling auditor arrived
to check him out. The official was
much surprised to find upon inyesti-
eating the records that there had
never been an agent checked in at
Darlington, and that Mr.. Ashworth
had been serving all these years under
a temporary appointment conferred
by the foreman OF a construction gang.
He stated that it was the most re-
markahle case he had ever come across
in his railroad experience. While it
is possible that there are other officials
that have served the Alton railway
for more than thirty-three years, 1t is
not believed that any has seen this
much service in one position, and that
too without being relieved or checked
in or checked Out for any purpose DUR
ing all that period.
At the time that the Alton created
the station at Darlington there was
no sign OF a town and for several
years the only building vas the depot
structure. Finally a little town grew
up, and a p~ostofice was established.
Mr.. Darlington being the most promi-
nent citizen, was made postmaster,
and retained the Office through all the
changes Of the presidency until 1901.
The new station agent at Darlington
will continue to be an Ashworth, the
former agents son, c. NJ. Ashworth,
being checked in last week for the
position. The latter bad served as
assistant at the station for about two
years preceding his fathers death.
