 Mrs. c. A. Redwood, teacher of Parliamentary Law, of 5s Free St., Fredonia, N. Y., writes:
 "For years suffered with female trouble It was decided that an operation was neces- sary, and although 1 submitted to a serious operation my sufferings continued, until Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound wasrecommended and it proved marvellous remedy. so quickly did it restore my health :. l cannot thank you sufficiently for the good it has done me"
 Miss Margaret Tierney, of Mo- 32S w. 25th Street, New York. writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 ''When only eighteen years of age our physician decided that an operation was necessary to permit of my womanly organs performing their natural functions. My mother objected and being urged by relative to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget- able Compound did so. l soon improved in health, the proper conditions were establish ed and l am well and strong, thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound" !"
 No other remedy has such un- qualified endorsement as Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. No other remedy in the world has such a record of cures of female ills.

Obituary.

MIR. Bias Mcdaniel was born in St
Francois county, Mo-, Jan. 20, 1850,
lie quietly breathed his last and passed
to his reward after many months of
suffering, Jan. 20, 1907, but endured
bis suffering with patience He was
married to Laura Alice Walker at
Scotia, Crawford county, Mo, on the
9th of February, 1875. She preceded
him Feb. 10, 1890. He leaves only
one child, daughter, Mrs. Maud
Hartshorn, and two brothers, besides
other relatives and host of friends to
mourn the loss OF father and Il brother
and true friend. He realized that he
had many temptations through life.
lie was not member of any church,
but during the last year Of his life, in
talking with his friends, he professed
to he lover of the Lord, and stated,
in talking to his brother, that he wanted
to join the church and be baptized,
but for some unknown cause he failed
to join any church. lie told the writer,
about Two months before he died, how
he had suffered, but said he was not
complaining at all; the Lord had been
very good TO him, better than he de-
served, but he wasn't afraid to die !;
was willing and ready at any time.
This good man was ever mindful of
his many friends, aud treated them
royalty. His burial took place at the
Masonic cemetery. The funeral was
preached at the Baptist Church in
Pennington by Bro. Brite. May Gods
grace and blessings richly season the
grief of the daughter, and to the sor-
rowing ones generally | wish to say,
your clouds have silver lining. You
weep here, but shall rejoice hereafter.
Finally, Bias, we bid thee fraternal
farewell. Undisturbed be thy remains
until the spirit quickens again thy inn
mortality. A FRIEND.

THAT WAR CLAIM MONEY

The $475, 900 civil war claim
that was paid Missouri by the
National Government about two
years ago, seems to be disturbing
good many people. There are
some enterprising boosters in the
vicinity of Columbia who are
anxious to have it used tC erect on
the State University campus a
Memorial Hall in honor of the
soldiers on both sides in our civil
war. Others want to turn 1t into
the general revenue of the State;
and the latest suggestion, we be.
lieve, is to distribute it proportion
ately among the counties to be sub
sequently apportioned among the
several road districts and worked
out OIL the roads. If this plan
were carried out st. Francois
county would receive somewhere in
the neighborhood of - 600, and
the road districts from about $50
to Sl.25 or $3.50 each. Under our
present system of road district
work, it would fill up a few mud
holes, which in year would be
about as bad as ever, and then we
would realize the folly of having
sunk 1000 in mud holes all
over the State without deriving
any permanent good from it.
If the Legislature should deter
mine to use it for road improve
ment it would be better to place
the amount apportoned to each
county at the disposal of the Coun.
ty Court, to be used in extending
the rock road system, just as the
dramshop license has been used in
this county. 1t would not 60 very
far, it is true, but it would be
better than to have it scattered in
dribs among the various road dis
tricts.
The recent good roads conven-

PROTECTION FOR MINERS.

Hon. W II. Lewis of this county
has introduced bill in the House
of Representatives providing for 4
more perfect inspection OF lead ahu
zinc mines and mines Other thar
coal. The provisions Of tins bll,
require all owners, lessers or oprr-
ators Of auy OF these mines to give
to the Inspector of Mines a state
ment, under oath, Of all their stock
holders, boards Of directors and
officers, with their personal post
office addresses; Il list Of all Their
ands aud the extent of their min
eral deposits; the amount Of money
invested in lands, mills, furnaces,
smelters and mines. And the bill
further provides that the Inspector
shall thoroughly inspect all mines,
mills, smelters and furnaces, nnd
should he find anything that i'm
pairs the health or lmperlls the
safety of any miner, be shall order
all wOrkmeu away and notify the
owner, operator or officer III charge
and direct him to Immediately re-
move the danger
In short, this bill provides for
life and vitality to mine inspection.
It further provides penalties for its
violation, and while these are not
too severe, yet they are strong
enough to land the violator in the
penitentiary should he go too far.
1t also provides that when any ac'
eident resulting in serious injury
or death shall happen, the mine
owner or operator shall Immediately
notify the State Mine Inspector,
and he shall 20 to the scene Of the
accident for the purpose of ascer-
tanning just what happened and
the cause thereof.
The bill has been favorably re-
ported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining, OF which Mr.. Lewis is
chairman, and it seems to bid fair
to become law. We see nothing
Objectionable in this bill, but think
that it will greatly safeguard the
thousands of miners in this county
and elsewhere. We commend Mr..
Lewis for his energetic watchful-
ness of the interests of his fellow.
men, and see no reasonable grounds
for the mine owner kicking"

EQu ALIIATION OF TAXATION o.
REAL ESTATE


Senator John l.. Bradley intro
duced Il very fHr-reaching and i'm
portant bill in the State Senate on
last Friday, which, if it becomes Il
law, will 60 very far towards
equalizing taxation on real estate.
This proposed law is moulded from
the Illinois law, and provides that
the Assessor shall, for the purpose
of assessing and valuing real prop
erty, which has mines or mineral
deposits beneath the surface, as
sess and value the surface and
mineral estates separately.
In other words, if a man owns a
tract of land of say one hundred
acres, and there is lead beneath the
surface. or lead mine being
worked under it, the assessor shall
assess and value the surface at say
$4,000 and then make an addi-
tiOnal assessment and valuation of
the underground mineral value, Of
say $50, 10000; and if one man
owns the surface rights to a tract
of land, he shall pay on the reason.
able surface value Of this tract;
and should another man own the
mineral rights, he shall pay taxes
on the reasonable value Of this I'M
foreground mineral
Should this bill pass and become
Il law, the taxable valuation of
real estate in st. Francois county
in mineral estates alone will jump
up to several millions of dollars,
if the assessor will do his duty.
The particular section this amends
is Section 9lS0, and the amend
ment is as follows:
Provided, that for the purpose OF as
sessing and valuing real property which
has mines or mineral deposits beneath
the surface thereof, the assessor shall
assess and value the surface estate and
the mineral estate separately, so as to
constitute two separate and distinct
estates in said real property so assessed
and valued.
This looks like just and equit.
able method of taxation. Did not
the famous "inexhaustable" iron
mine down here at Iron Mountain
make many men worth many mil.
lions? Where are the roads and
bridges that these nonresident
wealthy men build in this county,
In our county we have vast min
eral resources, much of which is
owned by corporations the most of
whose stockholders are non resi-
dents and have no interest in the
county except what they are getting
out of it. And yet we are needing
public improvements, especially
good roads, and these mines are
practically untaXed-so low that it
really amounts to no tax at all
while county warrants to the
amount of more than $50, 900 go
unpaid. These mines, like Iron
Mountain, may be exhausted one
of these days, and what will st.
Francois county. as u county, have
to show for the vast amount of
wealth that has been taken out Of
her minesi Let these mine opera
tors pay taxes on their wealth
somewhat in proportion to the
taxes paid by the farmer, the owner
of humble little home, or the
laboring man on his personal be-
longings! Let the bill become q
law.
