Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

"I am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since l tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. / did not take much notice OF it
at first, but it began TO get worse all the
time, and then | began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but l became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
nv scalp itched all the time. Espe--
cially at night, Just as soon as | would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and l did, and the first appli-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks would take a hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and kept getting better, and by the
time / used four boxes Of Cuticura | was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but / continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. 1t keeps all dam

THE Wizard Of Or Companv.

The big musical extravaganza THE
Wizard of o." with the number one
company, will open the theatrical
season here on Tuesday, October 9th.
This will, beyond doubt, be the big
gest production in Mexico this season:
Besides the seventy people in the cast,
three car loads OF scenery, special
electrical effects and innumerable
costumes, costly and pretty, will be
seen on this occasion.
Gerald FitzGerald, formerly with
the Sells-Forepaugh shows, and we'll
known here, is business manager Of
the Wizard Of o. Company and was
here to-day to complete arrangements
for the appearance Of the production
In this city.
Mexico is fortunate In securing such
an attraction and should show its ap-
probation by aliberal patronage. The
Wizard Of Oz Company that will ap.
pear here makes but two stops. In
cluding Mexico, between Chicago ard
! Kansas City.

The fight is on.
The conventions are over.
The platforms are adopted.
The issues are before the voter.
The Democratic party has pledged
itself to the continued strict enforce
ment of the Sunday closing liquor
law.
The Democratic party has no cam
paign fund from the privileged cor
porations with which to carry on its
fight but must depend on the consci-
ences of a temperate and law abiding
people.
The Republican party has fatty re.
fused to pledge itself to the enforce

The Republican party has million
dollar campaign fund contributed by
the brewery and distilling corporations
with which to fight the Sunday clos
ing law, and If possible to carry a sut1-
cient number of close counties to con-
troll the legislature and repeal the
Sunday liquor law.
The issue is: Shall the law be en-
forced or shall it be defed and repeal
ed?
All parties have been duly warned
by the public sentiment of the State
Whether Missouri is to be law-de-

county jail. The Sheriff said to them;
81 have appointed all of you as de-
puties because l had every confidence
in you in every particular, believing In
your ability, your morality and your
sobriety. But l want to say this to
you to start with, and anyone who can
not obey my orders must say so now.
"You represent me in both your
official and your private acts. You
understand that more Is expected Of
me, perhaps, than any sheriff Dawson
County ever had. This is due to the
many promises l made during my can
yass for the Office, and l want each
and everyone Of you to know and un.
derstand that 1 meant those pledges
to the people and intend carrying
them out. 1 meant every word / said
during my campaign.
"Now want to say this; That the
first man who enters saloon unless
on official business will be promptly
discharged and his commission will be
revoked. You must not go into a sa-
loon to buy cigars, tobacco, to get a
drink Of water or geta lunch. Yor
must not take drink under any con
sideration while on or of duty, fol
the fact is, you are on duty all the
while. l want you to understand
that the people look to me to do as
have promised.
"You must not stand in front Of So
looms and talk to saloon men unless on
business. OF course neither you MOI
l have any personal feeling against
gamblers and the saloon men, but
intend they shall obey the law.
want you men to be courteous to every
one, and want you to know that you
are right before you act. The good
people Of the city are watching you
and they will report you to me.
1.-THE same rules that l have laid
down regarding gambling houses and
saloons apply to q bawdy house and
assignation houses. You must not en-
ter them unless on official business.

on whose breath smell liquor will be
