mo CURE, NO PAY"
How Woodbridge & Purdy Sell Hy'
omei, the Guaranteed Cure for
Catarrh.

Woodbridge & Purdy have an unu.
sual offer to make to our readers, one
one that will be Of the greatest value
to many.
For some years Woodbridge s. Purdy
have been watching the results from
the use OF Hyomei, a treatment for
catarrh that cures by breathing medi-
Gated air, absolutely without any
stomach dosing. The results have
been so universally successful that
they feel justified in making a public
offer to treat the worst case OF catarrh
in Mexico with the understanding
that IL Hyomei does not cure, the
treatment will cost absolutely moth
ing.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs
only one dollar, and consists OF a neat
pocket inhaler that car be carried In
the purse or vest-pocket, a medicine
dropper and a bottle OF Hyomei. If
this is not enough for a cure, extra
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents.
Woodbridge & Purdy positively
guarantee a cure, II Hyomei is used In
accordance with directions, or they
will refund the money.

Love makes the world go round" is
a saying oft repeated and in the past

been again exampllhed
Miss Mary Ricketts, and Prof. L. B.
Hawthorne, who are to be married
Tuesday morning by Rev. G. @ Selec-
man, are both great admirers Of the
minister who is to oficiate. One Of
the first arrangements made, I'm fact II
was prior TO the time they had decid-
ed upon the date Of the wedding, they
told MI. Selecman he was TO marry
them and must make bis arrangements
so nothing would interfere.
Some time since after the date OF
the nuptials had been definitely de.
cided upon the minister was told and
to the great disappointment Of all
concerned be had an engagement for
that day to address the graduating
class Of Howard Payne college in
FaYette.
Many plans were discussed and
finally it was decided that Miss Rick.
etts should write the president OF
the college explaining the interference
Of the two events and ask If he could
not help them out Of the dilemma.
After several days a letter was re.
ceived saying rather than diSappoint
Miss Ricketts, the commencement Of
the school would be changed and in
place OF June 18th it would be the

An Elegant Opportunity to
Organize a Town Band.

Professor p. ". Olker, OF Illinois, a
distinguished musician and Band
Director, has been engaged by the
Missouri Military Academy to teach
and lead the Academy Band during
the next session. 1t is the best OPP
portunity Mexico has ever had to Sc
cure the services Of a really competent
Band Master.
Besides teaching music In the
Academy, Professor Olker will have
ample time to give two evenings per
week to the Mexico Band. A plan is
now OF foot to perfect arrangements
fort permanent, first-class organiza-
tion, known as the Mexico Brass Band,
to be under the direct control some OF
our wisest business men. All who are
interested enough In Mexico to wish
this most ~pleasurable feature intro
duced are invited to call at the office
OF Mr.. Worrell and to encourage the
enterprise by placing their names on
the paper. Do not wait to be called
upon to give a dime toward an institu-
tion that bring many dollars worth OF
good TO every man, woman and child
in Mexico. Go and read the paper,
anyhow; and, II you cannot afford to
encourage the enterprise, rest as
sured that you shall not be denied the
benefits enjoyed by all people, You and
all your family will be most cordially
TO all the free entertainments given
by a No 1 band on the square, during
the delightful evenings that we have
through the summer months In Mex
leo. The Band is a 60; and "knock-
ingn will not stop 1t.
Professor Olker will also give les
SONS on any instrument to private
pupils In town. He is also an excel
lent teacher Of voice and will give
lessons to any who may desire his

1t is desirable that the young men
Of Mexico who now can play on any
band instrument and who may desire
to become a member Of the band, as
well as those who are inexperienced
performers and would like TO join,
should send their names TO Col. Fon-
vile and name the instrument they

that the detail will be made when our

dred. You know what advantages
this appointment will bring TO the

Only forty.six additional matricu-
Iates are needed to secure this much
desired advantage. 1t has occurred to
me that q small efforton the part OF

it easy to complete the list in a very
short time. Many Of our people visit
various towns and cities in this State
and Others during the vacation. II
they would only use the opportunity
TO speak a kind word, Hardin College

would not have room for the students
who would apply. will take pleasure
in supplying catalogues to any who

The Kansas City Mo- Independent
Herring TO the Democratic State
invention at Jefferson City, says:
From various prejndiced sources in
ansas City and st. Louis, there have
cen coming murmurs to the effect
nat Governor Folk has lost the fealty
Z Democrats by reason Of his law en-
brcement policy, and that the party,
] convention assembled, would nail
3gether a platform in which there
Fould be 10 Folk planks. How base
SIS were these assertions as prophecies
I'd how absolutely the work Of men
rho have been repudiated by the
democrats Of Missouri, was proved at
be state nominating convention held
q Jefferson City this week. The
iiection and esteem in which Cover
OF Folk is held by the Democracy
a shown by the wild cheering that
reeted him when be responded to the
onyentiOn's request for a speech, and
he continued popularity Of the Folk
dea' received demonstration by the
Incorporation OF the following planks
n the platform: The enforcement Of
be Sunday dramshop law has made it
IN issue in this campaign. The Re
publican party with characteristic
;owardice evades it. The Democrat
c party meets it boldly and declares
hat this is a law, not only in the in
crest Of good morals, but Of good
government, and the result Of a year
Ind a half US the strict enforcement
Jf this statute has demonstrated its
wisdom. Crime has been greatly les
sened, criminal costs have been largely
reduced and moral conditions vastly
improved. We indorse the enforce
ment OF the law under which wine
rooms OF the cities have been closed,
gambling houses shut aud the greatest
race track syndicate In the world
driven from the state, after having
enjoyed the special protection Of Re-
publican officials 10 the county where
1t was located. Likewise, the elImin-
ating Of graft from the police depart
ments Of the cities and the taking Of
the police out Of politics deserve the
commendation OF all good citizens.
Missouri is to-day the most law-abid-
ing state in the Union, and is leading
the fight fer law enforcement, which
is rapidly becoming a national issue.
The whole platform, plank by plank,
was a forceful championship aud es-
pousal Of all those policies that Gov
ernor Folk has made SO peculiarly his
own by virtue of fearlessless and hon.
esty, and could not have been any
more comprehensive and emphatic had
he written it himself. Especially
strong was the plank favoring a state
primary, a reform measure That Gov
ernor Folk has been %contending for
sluce his inauguration. The conven-
TONS Endorsement OF Bryan was most
pleasing to Mr.. Folk and came largely
as the result OF his personal request.
He has long been admirer Of the great
commoner, and is closer to him than
almost any man in the country, for
political course has been watched and
commended by Mr.. Bryan from the
the very outset"

newspapers throughout the country,
has been demanding the passage by

alleged that Speaker Cannon has been

Whether the enemies Of the Vice

at the attacks on Lin took the form
Of a protest to members Of the In
