HOMEMADE CATARRH CURE.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy Of its kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the follow
ing prescription, 1t is supposed, be-
cause Of its promptness In drividg
from the blood and system every
yestige OF catarrahal poison, relieving
this foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture; Get from any good pharmasy
one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dam
delion, one ounce Compound Kargon
and three ounces Compound Cyrup
Sarsaparilla. Shake well and use In
teaspoonful doses after each mael and
at bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action up
on the elimlnative tissues of the kid
neys, assisting them to filter and
strain from the blood and system all
;atarrahal poisons. which, is not era
ilcated, are absorbed by the murcous
memberance, and an open or catarrh
is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as 1t is the
prescription OF an eminent catarrh
pecialist of national reputation.

WATER HIGHEST IN
THIRTY-SEvEN YEARS.
County Bridges Have to be Anchored
and Water Rising Rapidly
East Mexico Looks Like Vast
Lake.

Rev. ]. A. Headington, who has re.
sided in Mexico for thirty.seven years,
told a LEDGER representative that
he had never seen the water SO high
In south branch Of Salt River and that
it was rising almost a foot an hour.
Considering the fact that the stream
was out Of Its banks Saturday and
covers over thousand acres in the
vicinity this rise is marvellous.
County Surveyor Mckinney and as
sistants were forced to anchor the
wagon bridge near east Lake at noon
to-day. The creek has risen above the
east Lake dam and many fine fish
are being lost out of that body OF
water.
The rain and sleet for the past five
days amounts to over six inches.

COUNTY, MISSOURI, THURsDAY, JANUARY "a, 1907
z. H. EDMoRDs SUES
INSURANCE COMPANY.
Libelous Language in Regard to Mr.
Edmonds by The Representative
otThe Company Several Suits
May be Filed Later.

A case Of some interest has been filed
10 the Circuit Court by R. B. Edmonds
Of this city against the National Ac.
cident Society Of New York for libel.
II seems from the papers on file that
Mr.. Edmonds has carried an accident
policy In this Company for ten years,
and on the 2lst OF last September had
the small finger Of bis left hand
crushed and broken by being struck
by piece OF timber while propping
up an over burdened peach tree.
Mr Edmonds made a claim for
injury and disability resulting from
the Injury. This claim the Company
offered to pay only in part which led
to a correspondence between Mr..
Edmonds and bis attorney and the
Company. 1t was necessary for Mr..
Edmonds to make afiidavit to his claim
filed with the company.
The Secretary and General Manager
of the Company Is alleged to have
written some very abusive letters
about the matter and applying un-
seemly names to Mr.. Edmonds and
accusing him Of false swearing. 1t is
claimed that nearly every letter writ
ten by the Company's Manager con-
tains libelous matter and that each
letter furnishes distinct cause OF
action for libel. Mr.. Edmonds filed
suit against the Company for damage
for the alleged libelous matter In the
first letter and will follow up with
other suits for the libel contained
in each letter. The suit filed to-day
is for 1000 and seeks to hold the COM
pany liable for the acts Of its general
manager.

The Fulton Weekly Gazette says
that the ordinance raising the saloon
license in Fulton from three TO four
thousand dollars per year goes into
effect July first. The vote stood five
ays, two nos with one absent. This
Is the second time the saloon license
has been raised In Fulton during the
last three years. During July 1904
the license was raised from $500 to
$4,000. 1t was claimed at that time
BY the saloon men that the council
was trying to legislate them out Of
business. Both saloons renewed their
license under the 5000 per year rate
and have been doing business ever
since. The owner OF the saloons, now,
say that they will be unable to pay
the $4,000 per year, which goes into
effect the first Of July. That is, the
present license extends to that time.

The Mexico Ice plant is one of Mex
ico's most prominent industries, and

is consumated James Wilkins will
become parnter in the ice plant, and
