Hon. w. H. Wallace, President,
Constitutional Amendment As
sociation of Missouri,
Dear Sir:
The Synod of Missouri of the
Presbyterian Church in the Unit
ed States heard this morning your
eloquent and able address en- be
half of the objects proposed to be
accomplished by the association
you represent, and also the re-
quest which YVES expressed or Inn
piled in that address. In reply the
Synod sbegS leave to 1sAare lou
and those whom you represent
that the members of this Synod
and their constituents recognize
with painful emotions the great
evils incident to and consequent
upon the traffic in Intoxicating
liquors as it is now carried on III
our State and Country. Moreover
we desire to assure YOU and al
the interests you represent thai
we and our people desire to co
operate and will cooperate as in
dividual Christian citizens in do
ing everything in our power II
mitigate, and if possible abolisl
the evils of this dreadful traffi,
in intOxicants.
At the same time we are con
strained to say that this Synod
sitting as a court of Jesus Christ
has no authority to dictate or t,
recommend to the people of tn
State of Missouri what amend
ments should be made to the Con
stitution of the State; nor tn
manner in which any proposed a
mendment to that Constitution
should be secured.
Praying Gods blessing on yol
and all others engaged IN the SUI
preston of evil, in ways in ac
cord with Gods revealed will, W
are
The Synod of Missouri of tn

Editor Inteligencer,
My dear Sir:
/ herewith send you a certified
copy Of a letter adopted by the
Synod of Missouri during its re
cent session in Columbia. \ let
ter altogether similar, having on
ly necessary verbal changes, was
addressed to Mr.. Il. j Moore,
State Superintendent Of the Mis-
souri Anti-SalOon League, in
which the Synod declined to ap-
point trustees of that League. 1t
thus appears that the Synod,
while it testified in regard to the
evils of the liquor traffic, made
no deliverance for or against pro-
hibition, for or against the abol-
ition of saloons, for or against
the proposition to submit to the
voters of the State the question
whether or not there should be
an amendment to the constitution
-
of the State prohibiting the traf-
fic in intoxicating liquors; al
on the ground that the Synod haC
no authority from Jesus Christ OF
from its own constitution to make
any such dehverance.
Yours respectfully,
E. C. Gordon.

Free IF 1t Fails
Your Money Back if You are
Not Satisfied with the
Medicine We Recommend

We are SO positive that our rem
edy will permanently relieve con-
stipation, no matter how chronic it
may be, that we offer to furnish
the medicine at our expense should
it fail to produce satisfactory re-
suits.
1t is worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Laxatives or
cathartics do much harm. They
cause a reaction, irritate and
weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic.
Besides, their use becomes a habit
that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the large intestine or de-
scending colon. To expect per-
manent relief you must therefore
tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them to healthier
activity.
The discovery of the active prin-
cipIe of our remedy involved the
labor of the worlds greatest re-
search chemists. AS an active
agent it possesses the valuable
qualities Of the best known intes-
tinal tonics as well as being par
ticularly pleasant and prompt in
its results.
We want you to try Rexall Or
derlies on our recommendation.
They are exceedingly pleasant to
take, being eaten like candy, and
are ideal for children, delicate per-
sons and old folks, as we'll as for the
robust. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They apparently have a neutral
action on other associate organs or
glands. They do not purge,
cause excessive looseness nor
create any inconvenience what
ever. They may be taken at
any time, day or night. They
will positively relieve chronic or
habitual !. constipation, il not Of
surgical variety, and the myriads
Of associate or dependent chronic
ailments, if taken with regularity
for a reasonable length Of time.
They come in two sizes Of packages,
IL tablets, 10 cents; 80 tablets, 25
cents. The Rexall Store.

FARM PRODUCTS.

Vinita Leader.
At the joint county fair of Payne
and Logan counties, held at Coyle, Ok
lahoma, Oct 2e-29. 1903. the grand
prize, two-horse Deere corn planter,
was offered for the best exhibit Of
farm products by one farmer. The
worthy prize was won by Andrew Bur
ton OF Perkins. Payne county, and to
win he had to beat some competitors
who can well claim the title of good
farmers.
Mr.. Burton had on exhibit 63 va
rieties Of farm products grown on his
so acres OF land, Of which but so
acres are in cultivation In addition
to this, Mrs. Burton had on exhibit
with her husband 23 varieties of can
ned and picked fruits and vegetables.
Mr.. Burton had on exhibition all the
staples grown in Oklahoma, except
broom corn, and of course he had
many things not usually grown. Space
forbids my naming all his products,
but / will note some items of interest
to farmers.
He had four kinds Of baled hay
prairie hay, oat-straw, alfalfa ana cow
pea hay. He had three good varieties
Of corn, fine potatoes, both sweet and
Irish, fine wheat. oats, kaffir corn
and numerous other grains, turnips,
onions, beans, peas, and other vegeta-
bles; melons. pumpkins, etc, pecans,
peanuts and walnuts; apples, berries,
persimmons, and other fruit and vege-
tables too numerous TO mention.
Mr.. Burton is up to date in his meth
DDS and is success. will cite one
of his economic achievements this
year. His wheat was satisfactory
crop. Immediately after cutting the
wheat, he plowed the stubble under
and planted the land in cowpeas. The
peas grown on this land took first pre-
MUM at the saltwater exhibit, and
when cut made four tons OF hay per
acre. Since cutting the peas he has
put the land in wheat again.
But more interesting than all this is
the Burton family. Ten years ago
Burton. an orphan boy Is years old,
came to Oklahoma from Kansas. He
worked around in various places on
farms, finally landing with P. A. Bos-
ton. one Of the best farmers in Payne
county (and incidentally, Mr.. Boston
competed for the prize won by Mt
Burton)
Mr.. Burton says he was Quite an ordi'
nary farm hand for about two years
on the farm with Mr.. Boston. One
fine day he noticed that Miss Rose
Boston was getting to be fair sized
and mighty interesting girl, and from
that day Burton has been intensely in'
terested in agriculture. Two years
ago he married Miss Rose, and-well,
the boy is named Arthur. and he has
had his picture taken sitting on the
corn planter won BY his father.
The success Of this young couple is
an inspiration Many older people can
