5000 Hear Folk Sneak.

Rolla, Mo-, April 28.--One Of the
largest crowds ever assembled In Rolla
heard Governor Folk this after
noon on the campus OF the Missouri
School of Mines 1t is conserva-
lively estimated that there were 5000
persons In the audience, the majority
of them being farmers, who gathered
In Rolla from within q radius Of fifty
miles.
Governor Folk arrived In Rolla at
noon and was met at the station by a
large delegation of citizens, headed
by two brass bands. He was loudly
cheered as be was escorted to the i'm
perial hotel, where banquet, attend
ed by seventy-iive citizens, was given
10 his honor.
At the conclusion of the banquet a
procession was formed to the campus.
The pubic schools as we'll as the
School OF Mines, declared a holiday In
Governors honor. Governor Folk was
introduced by former Senator Fl. H.
Hohenschild. The Governor spoke
for two hours. Thousands Of persons
crowded around tine speakers plat
form at the conclusion OF the address
to shake the Governors hand. Gray
haired men with tears in their eyes
greeted him with such expressions as
GOD bless you, Joe Folk" Keep up
the fight, "The people are with you,
Joe.n
The Governor spoke of the reform
accomplished ia the last four years. He
gave the Democratic party credit for
leading the work Of reform and in
sisted that the work must 20 on.
There are those," he said, "who
would have you retreat. ! would have
you sound a charge and attack ssill
further the things which dishonor
and oppress.
"rhe Democratic party never in.
dorsed race-track gambling, has. never
indorsed thuggery at elections, has
never indorsed the open Sunday sa-
loon. On the contrary, 1t has con-
demned all these things.
"There are some who would have it
appear when attack these evils that
q reflection is being made on the
Democratic party This charge comes
, from few men who used to profit BY
these conditions. In assailing these
things, l am not only speaking the
truth, but am In strict accord with
tne party platform which condemns
these evils.
1T was to the evolution OF con-
science that the principles of Democ-
raoy owe their birth. The Democratic
party to-day is the party Of conscience
instead Of avarice."

The Farmers wife

Is. very careful about her churn. She
scalds 1t thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten 1t. She knows
that II her churn Is sour it will taint the
butter that Is made in 1t. The stomach Is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro.
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning Of butter. Is 1t not apparent
then that If this stomach-churn Is foul IL
makes foul all which is put into itp
The evil Of foul stomach Is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by 1t, but the corruption Of
the pure current of blood and the dissem.
inatlon Of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn- absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way 1t cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
II you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and Respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indf-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical SCI
ence for the cure Of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
OF leading teachers and practitioners OF
all the several schools Of medical practice,
have been skillfnlly and tremendously
combined In DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this Is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
to DR.. r. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for o
free copy Of his booklet Of extracts from
the standard medical authorities, giving
the names OF all the ingredients entering
into his world-famed medicines and show
ing what the most eminent medical men
Of the age say Of them.

she bad been stored away in the oats,
