In Public Speech.

Columbia, Mo-, July 49,
Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas,
addressing the newspaper men in
the audience at the Columbia
Chautauqua this afternoon, said i:
81 want to say while on this
platform, and | want the news-
paper men to spread it broadcast,
that when | get to the United
States Senate the first thing I am
going to do is to introduce a bill
prohibiting stock gambling. 1t
may take 25 years 10 get the bill
passed, but sooner or later it
will become a law. | want to tell
you that when | get to Washing
ton, the trust representatives in
the United States Senate will
know that Jeff Davis is in town.
"There will be something doing
when Senator Tillman Of South
Carolina, Bob Taylor Of Tenn
essee, Vardaman Of Mississippi,
and your humble servant start
after the trusts"
Senator Davis created amuse-
ment by declaring that the pop
ulists had more sense than the
Republican an d Democratic
parties, for they were 20 years
ahead of either. He said that
Bryan got his popular issues
from the Populists, Here are
some of his (Davis) popular
statements:
"l'll feel mighty lonesome in
the Senate surrounded by all
the millionaires."
"The people here thought ]
had horns. You expected to see
q wild man."
"Think Of it, over 100000
spent by Roosevelt for living ex-
penses, | could not spend that
much if | wanted to, and | have
eight children and nine dogs"

SHARP COUNTY A HUMMER.
So Says A Native Son Who Has Been
All Over II Lately.

our klndneSS heretofore IN
giving me space in your valuable
paper prompts me to again ask
for room for a short article.
! have just returned from my
rounds over the county with the
Assessor, r. b. Clear, by whom
| was deputed to act as assistant,
Our trip occupied all the month
Of June, 50 that saw tho coun-
try at my favorite time Of year,
when crops usually look most
promising and the people seem
happy and contcnted because all
nature wills it.
In all parts Of the county crops
are at least a month late. Cotton
will be nothing like a full crop,
while corn, with a favorable sea-
son, will make an average crop.
Oats and hay crops are fairly
good. One interested in agricul-
ture could not help but notice
the lack of interest manifested in
wheat growing in our county.
am glad to say, however, thai
some Of our more thrifty farmers
still raise wheat, and on such
farms it was a pleasing sight to
see the yellow harvest in waves
Of gold. On Strawberry and
Spring rivers we have soil whose
fertility will rival tho boasted
black land Of the west. On our
higher lands the soil is surpris-
ingly rich, and much fruit is
being grown on the graveIy, hill
land, The peach crop is short
this year in many places owing
to the unfavorable spring season.
Never since the morning stars

Great stunt by Geronimo.

In a single day Geronimo, when In
his prime, ran 40 niles on foot, rode
500 miles on one stretch, as fast as
he could change horses, and SO COM
pletely wore OFT the column which
finally captured him that three sets
of officers were needed TO finish the
chase, and not more than one-third
of the troopers who started were in
at the finish, says writer in Outing.
Wrinkled and crafty and cruel Is
his swarthy face to-day, but the fire
of his internal energy has died and
he is no more than a relic of the
Geronimo of whom Gen. Miles said
after their first meeting:
HE rode into our camp and dis
mounted, prisoner. He was one Of
the brightest, most resolute, deter
mined men ever met, with the
sharpest, cIearest dark eye. Every
movement showed power and en-
ergy."

AGE TOLD BY THE PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
even in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex of
a person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have pulse beat of 100 times
a minute in case of girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to Ito and 100. Maid
ems and youths pulses average 95
and 90. Mature men and women av-
erage 80 and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and so.
An old womans pulse rarely, IL ever,
sinks below so, but among men a
pulse beat below so is quite common.
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only a
times q minute

TOLEDO TRUSTS HIT
MEN AND CONCERNS IN BUILDING
TRADES ARE INDICTED.
CONSPIRACY is CHARGED
Leaders in the Business and Finan-
ciai Circles of the Ohio City
Accused in Grand Jury
Report.

Toledo, O.--The grand jury's inves-
tigation into the alleged trusts blamed
for the increased cost of building OPP
erations and high rents in Toledo re-
suited Saturday in the return of 245
indictments against SO leading bust
ness men and the following combina-
tions: Toledo Master Plumbers as
ISOLATION, Toledo Brick Supply COM
pany, Toledo Lumberman's bureau of
credit, National Supply company and
Toledo Supply company.
The indictments charge conspiracy
in restraint of trade. The wide scope
of the investigation and the great
number of persons accused make the
grand jury's report more sensational
than the ice trust indictments. Some
of the men named in the indictments
are among the most prominent BUSH
ness men in the city. Several of them
are not actively engaged in the bust
nesses which have been under inves-
tigation, but are interested indirectly
and are included in the charges made
against the firms
In the list of lumbermen and brick
men indicted are the names of men
high in local financial circles. The
head of the local lumber trust is said
to be the Toledo Lumbermens Credit
association, with offices in the Splitter
building. This trust is alleged to
have had complete control of the lum-
Der market, raising the prices when it
saw fit and compelling outside con-
Germs to sell only to them, making it
impossible for the Independent dealer
to get material outside the trust.
The National Supply company, the
only corporation indicted, deals -ex-
tensively in plumbing supplies, oil
wells, machinery. and all manner of
plumbers and carpenters tools.

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bush
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary OF the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture il on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home.
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

Striking Example Related by the Late
DR.. Field.

A Presbyterian clergyman was
praising the late DR.. Henry Martin
Field of Stockbridge, who for A
years edited the Evangelist.
"Dr. Field did SO much good" he
said, because he went about his
work automatically, sensibly reason
ably. / once heard him, declare that
reformers failed often because the
moment they started a reform they
dropped common sense. Common
sense was swallowed up in zeal. He
said that a nerve cure faddist once
entered shop and leading the pro-
prietor to one side whispered mys-
teriously: All, my friend. you can
do the race untold good If you will
only take the agency for our anti
tea preparation. 1t is warranted to

and nerve-racked tea tippler. Never
