Will Make Test Case.

Several weeks ago a number
of property ownes were notified
to put in granitold walks, and
most of them had the work fin
ished IN time to get the rebate.
Several, however, refused to
have the work done, and at the
Council meeting Thursday even
ing it was decided to make a
test case of the matter. An or
dinanCe was ordered published
requiring property owners in
one block in the Third ward to
put in a granitold walk. If
this is not done in the proper
time, the city will do the work
aud charge it up to the proper
ty as a special tax, and if the
tax is not paid, the property
will be sold. This procedure is
in accordance with the provis-
ions of the Revised Statutes of
Missouri, and, we understand,
the law has been tested in sew
eral cities. If the case goes
into the courts here, it will for
ever settle the question as to
whether the city can order
walks built or not.-Palmyra

Bought Liquor For A Minor.

At the instigation of Paris
dramshop keepers Ben Trussell,
who had only recently gotten
out of Jail at Hannibal, was ar
rested last Thursday on a charge
of buying liquor for John Curt.
wright, a minor. The saloon
men have been trying hard to
stop this practice and have
kept close watch on suspects.
Trussell excited their suspicion
by carrying out two bottles of
whiskey and was watched
enough to find out to whom the
liquor was being taken. Johns
father was notified apd he
swore out warrant against
Trussell. The first trial that
afternoon resulted in hung
jury, but the following morning
the case was tried again and
Trussell was given $40 and
costs. He got his deserts and

It has always been our opinion that
it is best to eliminate the liquor
question entirely from politics. If
We are to have the question settled
by the people of the State, let the
executive committee furnish boxes at
the primary election in every county
and allow the people to express
themselves on the question of liquor
or no liquor" Mixing men with this
question will likely not give us the
most efficient officers.

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
Results in Stomach Troubles and
Physical Breakdown George E.
Greene Offers SimnIe Remedy

The strenuous life of modern times
forces people to rush through their
meals hastily, hurrying from the table
in the mad rush after the almighty
dollar
The result is incomplete digestion,
inflammation of the walls of the stom-
ach, and lack of secretion of the gas
tric juices, ending in chronic stomach
trouble and nervous breakdown.
How much better it would be to eat
more slowly, cure the stomach trouble
with Mi-o-na, and soon regain perfect
health. The headaches, sleeplessness,
nervous troubles, pain after eating,
specks before the eyes, backaches, mel
ancholy and gloomy forebodings would
be soon overcome and perfect health
and strength would be restored.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all
forms of stomach weakness and trou-
bles that George E. Greene gives a
signed guarantee that the remedy will
cost nothing unless it cures. Each box
of Mi-o-na sells for so cents, and is in
valuable to anyone who suffers with
Indigestion, nervousness or weak stom-
ach.

Feeding Green Cut Bone Pays.

Mr. A. +. Hunter, who is one of the
regular contributors to The New Eng.
land Farmer, not long ago said in the
columns of that paper: Feeding
fresh cut bone to fowls, to induce
abundant laying, has proved a decid-
edly profitable thing. The bones are
rich in animal matter, and contain lime
of which the egg shells are made, and
hens fed on fresh cut bone will lay a
larger number of eggs than if fed ON
bone. Not only will they lay a larger
number of eggs, but the eggs viii be
stronger bodied, will be better eggs,
and if incubated will have better and
stronger chicks.
