The HEART CAN'T STAND
RHEUMATIC ACID
POISONING
To Free and Correct the Blood q
URIC-O Treatment Is
Advised

There is great danger in those sharp,
shooting pains throughout the body,
especially around the region of the
heart. 1t means that poisonous uric
and rheumatic acids are there ready to
grip tightly the muscles controlling
this organ. Don't neglect these warn
ings, for they are the danger signals
nature flashes to you for help. There
is but one way to- overcome this poi
sonous foe, and that is thorough treat
ment with Smiths Specific Uric-O. If
your system is filed with neuralgia,
and if your blood and kidneys are dis
eased with rheumatic poison, there is
no surer way on earth to get relief
than through the use of Uric-O. Uric-O
is a harmless liquid internal remedy,
taken in small doses three times day,
and does not contain drop of alcohol,
opium, or other dangerous poisons.
Uric-O is simply a cure for Sciatica,
Muscular, Infiammatory and Articular
rheumatism. They all yield readily to
Uric-O treatment. Your Druggist sells
Uric-O at 81 90 per bottle. If he does
not keep the remedy, you can obtain
the same by addressing the makers of
Uric-O, the SMITH DRUG COMPANY,
SYRACUSE. n. y.
Uric-O is sold in Emporium by L.
Taggart. 32ly.

The Uncommon Excellence of the
Jamestown Exposition.
(Ry Geo. T. Viett. !


No exposition has ever had so large,
varied and able exploitation as the
Jamestown Exposition. The matter
that has been sent out by the Press and
Publicity Bureau of this enterprise has
not alone served the purpose of ex-
| ploition but has been made the subject
of editorial notice in some of our best
newspapers. A few of these have crit
icised it adversely, claiming exagger-
alton but regardless attitude, the fact
that this exposition literature has at
| tracted attention of this kind from the
best newspapers is something unpre-
cendented. If some of those who
claimed exaggeration could visit the
site of the jamestown Exposition at
| this time-even in its still incomplete
condition-they would readily agree
that degree of enthusiasm is permiss-
ible in the premises, and that so far
from being exaggerated in the matter
of exploitation, the half has not really
been told.
| The claim has been made that this
will be the greatest exposition yet
held; not the greatest industrially, fin
ancially, commercially or artistically,
but simply as whole the greatest ex-
| position. Whether it be Paris, Chi
cago, st. Louis or Buffalo the
visitor to Jamestown may have in
mind, he hill find here features of sur
passing and altogether novel interest
He will find novelty, originality and
striking contrast to all his exposition
experience.
| He knows that the inspiration of the
enterprise in the most romantic and
eventful chapters oft the nations history
| He will find location unsurpassed
and certainly never equalled in exposi-
tion history.
! He will find an environment of the
most historical of any section of the
| United States, one wherein the patriot
may find inspiration and the poet a
| theme.
He will find score of nearby points
of natural beauty and historic interest,
| sufficient of themselves to make the
trip worth while. In the great inter
national naval and military displays
he will be offered a splendid pageant
never before equalled in this country
If genuine amusement and health
| giving recreation be an item desirable
| in the sum of his expectations he could
! find no better spot than the shores and
waters of the nations finest harbor.
Last, but not least, he will find a city
beautiful, full to overlooking with the
wonders of industry, of handicraft, of
art, of science, a city of fairy palaces,
clustering under the light of Virgin
ian summer sky, and rearing aloft the
! symbols and the tokens of the founding
of the nation and over all the senti-
ment of the patriotism and the brother
hood of a people first in peace, first in
war; and first in every good thing
under the sun.

was thrown violently from his wagon

Assistant Attorney General n. Il.
Gentry. OF Jefferson City, was, by
order OF Gov. Folk, in Versailles
Monday morning to take charge OF
the grand jury as special Pros. Atty.
OF Morgan county. The order was
made for the reason that it was sup.
posed that the grand jury would be
called upon to investigate matters in
which Pros. Atty. w. I. S. Agee
was interested. As we go to pres:
we learn that the rumor is that Mr.
Agee was fully exonerated by The
grand Jury.

To The Workers In The Field.

Dear Brethreni-We are delighted
TO note the high degree OF interest
and enthusiasm with which you take
hold OF this Local Option movement.
1t is Of itself almost a guarantee OF
success. So far, the enemy seems to
be silent, but you may look out at
any time for the appearance Of father
less, motherless, orphan literature.
which has flooded other counties lust
before Local Option Elections. Our
fight is in the open, our literature will
all have the sanction and endorse
ment of the Local Option committee
The committee will next week publish
an offer Of 5000 as a gift or reward
TO any one who will furnish evidence
sufficient to convict any n Of brib-
ing voters or corrupting the coming
Local Option Election in any way
whatsoever. Let every n take
notice.

THE STORY OF A THOUSAND JAILs.

In its issues of May 10 and May 20, 1890, The New Voice
printed in tabulated form the replies Of LOTT keepers OF county
jals from 43 states to the question:
SIN your opinion, what proportion of the prisoners in your
Jail were brought there directly or indirectly through drink"
The janers were also asked to state the number of years ex-
perence they had had in dealing with prisoners. There are
nearly 5000 county jailers in this country. They are in con-
slant association with criminals. They know the habits, his
tory and frequently the ancestry OF the inmates Of the jails.
The aggregate experience Of the / ,0l7 who replied to The New
Voice inquiry was almost 5000 years, or an average OF more
than five and one-half years each.
Summarizing the ''returns' of this inquiry, we find;
l. The general average of 900 replies from license states
gives the proportion Of crimes due to drink at ~ per cent.
2. The average Of replies from 1903 officials in prohibition
states is 81 per cent, the replies indicating that a considerable
part OF these were ~botteggers in jail for selling whiskey.
3. The above does not include 55 empty jails in Prohibition
counties.
4. Out of the 1,017 replies, 257 placed the proportion at 90
per cent; 525 at 10 peg cent and above 10 at 30 per cent and
above while out OF the entire L,017 jalers only 1S1 could be
found TO place their estimate below % per cent, and DO OF
these were in Prohibition territory and reported empty jails,

Option League, OF Morgan County, Mo. .

THE RELATION OF POVERTY TO DRINK.

In response to an inquiry directed to the "Keeper of the
Almshouse'' in each of the 2,S41 counties in the United States
in 1869, replies were received from Sic officials in 48 states.
The leading question asked was:
sin your opinion what proportion of the inmates Of your
almshouse came there directly or indirectly through the use or
abuse OF intoxicating liquors, either on the part OF themselves
or someone elscf"
The officials were also asked to state their experience with
paupers and the number Of paupers under their charge. The
S16 replies received were from officials with an average ex-
perience Of nearly five and half years, and who had under
their charge SO, 245 paupers, Of whom 1901, or 81 per cent,
were paupers through intoxicating liquor.
