NfatchIess Workmanship.

Most diseases are of spinal origin.
That is a characteristic generaliza-
ton of 0steopathy in a nutshell. and is
contention that has never been dis
proved. 'Hs" 90 HN'"' '"'' --''si
The osteopathic diagnosis. and
treatment are new and original. and
its percentage of cures have attracted
wide attention. This is history that
cannot be successfully challenged.
We apply in new way and with
new force. old principles that are a
part of the recognized, but theoretical
teachings of every school of practice,
but in an unsystematic form.
You cannot study the anatomy of
the spinal column without marveling
that il so seldom gets out of order.
II is the most matches piece of
workmanship in all mechanics, and
the wonder is that it should, some
times. from the way it is abused. do
its work at all.
BY all laws of physics. the spine is
liable at any moment to get out of or
der; 1t is subject TO slips, wrenches,
pressures. deadlocks, sprains. contrac-
lions and congestions.-a one Of
which will set up disorders,-all of
which require only an intelligent en-
gineer to adjust to relieve and cure.
The Osteopath is that engineer.
In just a few moments ! can easily
explain to you why and how Osteo-
pathy is achieving such wonderful
success in curing all kinds of chronic
and acute illnesses and | shall take
great pleasure In doing so.
Just now you may have touch of
the Spring ailment. to which we Padu-
cahans are heir. II so, let me tell you
how easily, how quickly such ailments
yield to the Osteopathic treatment.

FIVE NOTED PILOTS.

In a recent contribution to Harp
er's Weekly Mark Twain" one of
the most celebrated of Mississippi
river pilots, writes as follows of three
other noted pilots with whom ,he had
an Intimate acquaintance:
I'VE all realize that the release of
Carl Schurz is heavy loss to the
country; some of us realize that. 1t
is heavy loss to us individually and
personally. AS a rule l have had a
sufiiciency of confidence perhaps-ln
my ability to hunt out the right and
sure political channel for myself. and
follow 1t to the deep water beyond
the reef without getting aground ;
but there have been times in the past
thirty years. when lacked that con
fidence--shen' | dropped into Carl
Schurz's wake saying to myself he is
safe as Ben Thornburgh.' When |
was a young pilot on the Mississippi
nearly half century ago. the fellow
ship numbered among its masters
three incorporates; Horace Bixby.
Beck Jolly and Ben Thornburgh.
Where they were not afraid to vent
ure with a steamboat, the rest of the
guild were not afraid to follow. Yet
there was a difference: of the three
they preferred to follow Thornburgh;
for sometimes the other two depend
ed on native genius and almost in
spirational water reading to pick out
the lowest place on the reef, but that
was not Ben Thornburgh's way; il
there were serious doubts he would
stop the steamer and man the sound
ing barge and go down and sound
several crossings and lay buoys up
on them. Nobody needed to search
for the best water after Ben Thorn
burgh. If he could not find it nobody
could. | felt that way about him /;
and so more than once [ waited for
him to find the way, then dropped
into his steamers wake and ran over
the wrecks of his buoys on half steam
until the leadsman's welcome cry OF
Mark Twain informed me that
was over the bar all right. and could
draw full breath again. I had this
same confidence in Carl Schurz. as a
political channel-finder.'

Correction OF the pistol toting"
habit is a problem with which the po-
lice court bench has been wrestling
for many years, and the DRINKS who
fall into the hands of the police and
have the secrets of their innermost
pockets revealed in the searching pro-
cess at headquarters, and the thugs
and criminals. who face the court with
gun on the table as exhibit "a" re-
celve no mercy at the hands of the
court. But severe punishment for the
offense seems to have no appreciable
effect, as evidenced by the fact that in
states where there is no law agains;
the practice or the law is mild the
habit is not general, while in those
states where the penalty is most Sc
we're the pistol is ''toted" in defiance.
Possibly the failure of the law TO eff
feet remedy is due to the fact that
law does not reach the violator with
sufficiently discouraging frequency. 1t
Is not at the specific offense of carry
ing a weapon that the law is aimed,
but at the prevention of social disor-
ders which so often accompany the
possession of firearms. When the pun
ishment for carrying a weapon is met
ed out as a subsidiary sentence to a
graver crime the moral effect of the
punishment is lost because 1t comes too
late to accomplish its purpose. This
is not intended TO discourage judges
in the commendable work of sending
pistol toters' to Jail, but TO point
out Wherein an unsupported law can
not accomplish social reform. The
true remedy for pistol toting" rests
in public sentiment. Whenever it
becomes generally recognized that bull
lies and towards go armed and the
possession of a concealed weapon i'm
poses on the possessor the burden of
proof that he is not such, then 'pis-
tol toting" will become unpopular.

Cutting Of Prices.

Like ,ne farmers holding cotton
for stipulated prices, the msnufac.
turers, the druggists and those handl-
ing patient medicines, have agreed
that all medicines will, hereafter, be
sold at regular prices. That is, all
medicines priced at 25c., SOC. 81 90.
will be sold OILY at these fixed prices.
If dealer violates this agreement be
wilt be deprived of buying either
from the wholesale man or the manu-
facturers, and conse quently is cut
entirely out of the buslnees This is
but meet and proper provided the
purity of the article is kept up to first
class standard.
We have never believed in any cut
rate business, even with our general
MERCHANTS. Tney should be allowed
fair, living BUSH ess profits on their
merchandise. Bue the trouble gen.
orally comes from one IN the mercan-
tile business. Some smart Elick
tn,nks be will play big scooping
game and receive all the trade by
cutting prices, in which he is badly
mistaken and will regret the act in
the future, as it is foolish to think
that any one man or firm Can AID
will hold all of the trade. One mer
chant can buy and sell as chesply as
another, consequently if be cuts the
price it is at his own detr,ment. 10
selling at standard prices no one is
obliged to be exhor bitant, or take I'D.
vantage of his customers, but could
be Kind and courteous and give first
class goods at fair, living prices,
which certainly would be more satis.
factory and prove successful to bis
merchants business.
There is wrong impression with
some people who think the merchants
profits are enormous, aud that they
are growing rich from the tolls OF
those who patronage them in their
business. 1t is fact that the profits
are much less now than few yeats
back. Everything is sold at close
prices. Double the quantity of goods
must be handled to realize the same
money of only few years passed
We must ali remember, too, rhat
generally the merchants are our best
friends. They are obIlg,ng and &C
cammodating and are glad to see the
people and country prospering.
