Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many, who might be

such, Electric Bitters work wonders,
They regulate Stomach, Liver and

THELMA.

Death has again visited our COM
munity and taken from our midst
Mrs. Angie Hall, aged SS years. She
died November 20, 1909.
Mrs Hall was the daughter of B.
l.. Davis. She leaves a husband,
three small children and host of
friends and relatives. among them
a father, five brothers and three
sisters, to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Hall was a good Christian
woman whose life though short
might we'll be an example for all
to follow. The night before she
died she sang her fayorite song,
"The Beautiful Land" A few min
utes before the end came she called
her husband and little children to
her bedside and told them not to
grieve for her, that she was going
home. Her father and brother and
sisters were all at her home at the
time of her death.
We would say to the bereaved
ones, weep not as those who have
no hope, but prepare to meet your
loved one in the Beautiful Land OF
high, where we shall be free from
all sorrow and pain. A Friend.

EnterpriSing.

The City of Hannibal has grown
faster in manufacturing during the
past seven years than any other
city in Missouri, and the agriculture
al sections of northeast Missouri
have developed faster during the
same period than any other section
of Missouri. The business men of
Hannibal have calculated that a
mammouth display of the things
raised on the farms and things
made in the factories of Northeast
Missouri should be held in Hanni-
nibal, the metropolis of this most
productive section of Imperial Mis-
sonri, and have decided to hold the
exposition during the first week in
October, beginning October 5th and
running to the 9th.
The Commercial Club of Hanni-
bal is back of the enterprise which
is guarantee that an exposition is
the full sense of the word will be
held. Arrangements are being made
to bring together the most complete
display of farm products ever seen
in this section of Missouri. Premi-
ums will be offered that will justify
the farmers in preparing their corn
and other products for display. The
factories of Hannibal will have dis
plays of the things they make, so
, that two of the sources of growth
in population and wealth will be
brought together and the whole
country given real object lesson
in Agricultural and Industrial
growth.
There has never been brought to-
gether in this part of Missouri a
comprehensive display of the re-
sources of this most productive Sec
ton, and we congratulate the bust
ness men of Hannibal upon their
enterprise and forethought.
If the Exposition is held and con-
Quoted as it has been planned, it
will be a great benefit to Hannibal
and all Northeast Missouri.

Dieting an Engine.

Railroading is pretty exact
science, and the big engine on the
testing table at Altoona is only one
of many evidences of the skill that
is being brought to bear upon the
operation of the great railroad prop
critics of the country at the present
time. This engine goes upon diet.
DR.. Wiley, down at Washington,
with his young men sustaining
themselves scientifically upon meas
ured and selected foods, has some
thing of the same method that is
shown with the test engine at Al
toona. Its supply of coal is care
fully weighed and analysed by
sample. An accounting of the
amount consumed down to ounces
is kept. The water supply is also
examined and measured with great
care. When the test is finished and
the big captive engine has covered
miles of theoretical grades with a
long Theoretical train hitched on be-
hind, the experts get busy with
their pencils and begin to prepare
the reports upon which their chief
may rely when he goes ahead to
construct another gross of 100-ton
locomotives. Outing.

Lexington, KY, Aug. p. Cap
tain Oliver F. Redd, who was a
member of the staff of General Joe
Shelby during the Civil War, has
brought suit against Mrs. Louett
Menefe, of Louisville, for possession
of paintings of Mrs. Susan Bell AL
Ian, his grandmother and Louett.
He says the suit is a friendly one to
settle the ownership of the paint
ingS, one of which is by Oliver R.
Fraser and the other by Mathew
Jouett.
He says that when his mother
was banished from Missouri she in
trusted his paintings to the care of
Mrs. Lille Allen Cope, of BOonville,
and they we're sent to the home of
her father at Pilot Grove.
Mrs. Redd asked, on her death-bed
that the pictures be returned to her
son when he was located and could
care for them. When he sent for
the pictures his request was refused.
Mr. Menefe went to Missouri and
got the pictures, along with one of
his father Richard S. Menefe, which,
Redd says, he gave him for hanging
in the Court House in OwingSville,
KY, and Menefe promised to retain
the others, to be called for later.
In the meantime Menefe died and
his family refused to part with the
paintings.

A Great School.

The recent summer term Of the
State Normal School at KirkSVlIle
enrolled more than GOO teachers
and had $50 Of them present in the
closing progr9m, August 18th, thus
breaking all records. Out Of over
one hundred graduates ali but three
have positions such as they desired
and the School has calls for more
than fifty teachers i'll high schools
and rural schools that it can not
furnish. Some thirty or forty of the
graduates had offers of from three
to five good positions each. 1t is
evident that the demand for
teachers next year will still be
greater than the supply. Hence
great preparations are made for
teachers courses in the coming
year.
There will be numerous classes
in the advanced phases of good old
fashioned Arithmetic, Grammer,
History, Composition, Letter Writ
ing, etc
The Commercial Department will
be crowded with ambitious students
learning Shorthand, Bookkeeping,
Commercial Geography, Typewriting
etc.
Seventy-fve teachers took work
in the laboratories of the A9ri-
culture Department during the sum-
mer. It's Library, Laboratories and
Gardens are among the best in the
country.
The last graduating class furnish
ed supervisors of Music and Art for
public schools in five different states.
Graduates in other courses have
choice among the best high school
til. -
Several graduates of the Elementary
Courses have rural school positions
at from S6O,OO TO $ooUO per month,
while those who have attended one
year all get good paying positions

Taft Will LambaSt.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 80 PreSi-
dent Taft has made up his mind
that the insurgent Republicans,
along with the Democrats who OPP
posed the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
and who tried to defeat it in Con-
gress, shall hear something from
him on his forthcoming itinerary.
The soothing speech and suave sug-
6estions of leaders who would COM
promise and let the question of the
insureing of certain Middle Western
Senators pass unheeded, carries no
weight with the President, and he
has declared he will freely and
frankly discuss the tariff in their
districts and will not mince words
in telling them what he thinks
of Senators who attempt to set at
naught the pledges of their party
Any possible doubt of the dis
elimination of President Taft to de-
bate the new tariff act in the Mid
die West was removed today when
he was shown a dispatch from
Washington. This story stated that
friends of the President were urging
him to abandon the proposed dis
cussion of the tariff in States whose
Senators and Representatives op-
posed its passage.
When this was shown TO the
President on his porch at Burgess
Point this afternoon his face hard
ened.
He said that he was not in the
habit of refusing to discuss things
in which people were interested in
a country where they were opposed
that the tariff naturally suggested
itself as topic of discussion in GER
tain States into which the itinerary
of his trip will take him; and he
proposed to talk of that conviction
as he had discussed before the
American people others which his
mind had formed.
