A Speedy Cure for

Constipation, Biliousness, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Liver Complaints, Tired Feeling, Bad Taste in
the Mouth, Bad Complexion, Nervousness and all
diseases Of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels.
"BIoodine Liver Pills"
act gently, yet thoroughly upon the bowels, liver,
stomach and digestive organs. The pills, in old
and chronic cases of constipation and indigestion,
act at once, without gripping, nor do they leave any
unpleasant after-etteCts, nor form a constant habit
Of puIging, produced by other cathartic remedies.
"BlOOdine Liver Pills
restore the deranged and torpid liver to its normal
condition and healthful action. Remove and pre-
vent constipation by securing a natural and regu-
lar operation of the bowels, and relieve those un-
pleasant symptoms which attend a diseased or
morbid condition of the liver, stomach and bowels.
To assist IN attaining this end, the following sug-
gestions are offered.
REMARKS. Everyone who uses pills for
their action on the liver, should know that large
doses rarely prove as satisfactory as small ones.
Large doses simply purge and pass out of the sys-
TEN, usually leaving the bowels constipated, and
seldom removing the cause of the trouble, or i'm
prove the general health. On the other hand,
small doses develop the alternative effect of the
medicine, do not irritate or constipate the bowels,
but gently stimulate the liver and prevent the
accumulation of bile by directing its flow into the
proper channels. Therefore it is advisable to COM
mence by taking not over one or two pills at bed
time and increase dose as necessary.
PORTLAND, Nh.
CENTS Il find your "Bloodine Liver Pills"
the most effective pill l ever used. They cause
no gripping or constipative after effect as most liver
pills do. Yours truly,
MRS. AMADA RICHARDSON.

An English visitor has recently been

Three years afterwards Thomas Old
field assisted Gladys into a car at the
car center in Lexington. They were
going to the ball park to witness
game between Hazel Green and Lex
ington.
Thomas Oldfeld was a brother Of
Gladys father, and had come into hel
life rather Unexpectedly. He was
bachelor and had boarded quite a for
tune. His home on Broadway was
enough to be proud of.
AS they were purchasing their tick

excitement he exhibited a Thousand

After Mr.. Isom had agreed to take
her to the game, Mr.. Oldfield hurried
home.
He went to his library, shut himself
up and turned up the lights. After {
moments hesitation he read the letter
again:

1t was written in a miserable hand
and he was absolutely d~umbfounded

me, you will get my fortune" he
said.

asked.

The beautiful summer days were

are paid. Under this law one-half
| the cost of making the road is paid by
the property one-half mile on each side
OF it and the balance is paid by the
rest of the district. At $500 per mile
the cost on property one-half mile on
each side of the road would be about
40 cents Per acre, payable Q cents per
acre per year for 20 years:
40 acres would pay $3.50 per year for 20 years

l60 acres would pay $50 per year for 20 years
800 acres would pay go per year for 20 years
$40 acres would pay 1880 per year for 20 years
wish to impress on all farmers that
under the Special Road District laws,
the cost of improving roads will fall
equally on unimproved lands owned by
non-residents and spectators, and on
improved farms. The assessed valua-
ton has nothing to do with this tax-it
will be assessed at the rate of 40 cents
per acre on all land, and every acre
must pay its share. Under the poll tax
law the land owned by non-residents
pays practically nothing for road pur-
poses.
Let US get together and organize
Special Road Districts all over Howell
and Oregon counties and let contracts
for grading and draining our roads NOW,
and enjoy good roads while we take
our time about paying for them. We
can then haul so per cent more to the
load, make better time and cut our re-
pair bills in half. Our poll tax will be
less. as it will take very little work to
keep the roads in good condition after
they are once made, and it will not be
necessary to neglect your crops in the
spring in order to put in two days work
ing Cd the roads. All we need to
make this country the finest in the
United States is good roads.
If my suggestions will start the ball
rolling, I will feel well repaid for my
trouble in writing this article

lesse A. TnIerton.

After three weeks of sober reflection
the Democratic leaders in the legis-
lature who sought to humiliate Jesse
A. Tolerton and to deprive him of the
office of Game and Fish Commissioner
by placing a restrictive rider on the
appropriation for his department have
doubtless concluded that they bit of
more than they can chew and will have
to spit it out. The rider provides that
no partgof the appropriation of $40, 900
may be paid while Mr.. Tolerton retains
the office.
Although several men among the
Democratic leader in the Senate and
House are supposed to be good lawyers
they proceeded in this matter as il
ignorant of the decision of high courts
on the legal question involved. Mr..
Tolerton will have to ask the Supreme
Court to compel the Democratic State
Auditor to pay his official claims Out
of the appropriation, but, whatever
course may be necessary in obtaining
the money he will continue to be State
Game and Fish Commissioner, and he
will have much greater personal and
political influence than was credited to
him by the Democrats who sought to
discount hfro. He has made an envi-
able record as State official, demon
strating rare qualities of head and heart
and enforcing successfully laws that are
very unpopular in some communities
though regarded by those interested
in the protection of game and fish q.
the best ever enacted for that purpose
by the Missouri legislature. Mr..
Tolerton was active during the last
campaign in behalf of his party but net
as active or as CONSPICUOUS as were
several Democratic state officials; MOI
did he say or do things that were q:
unfair or as offensive as things said and
done by them. The Democratic as
sauit on MFR. Tolerton was the wors
bit of political meanness in the history
of Missouri.

No New Constructions For The Frisco.

President B. L. Wincheil of the FRS
CO lines, who has just concluded trip
over the system, says: Frisco's pei
diem earnings this month are not as
large as those of year ago, but COM
pare favorably with February, 1910.
During February and March last yea,
particularly in March. coal traffic was
heavy. in anticipation of the coal
miners strike, which broke out in April
Building operations are light and the
lumber traffic is only fair. In the south
west, however, traffic is quite salts

provement over last year, but not suf-
ficient to conteract entirely the light
ness of business at the northwestern
end.
Despite numerous reports of new
contraction plans, such as a line from
Memphis to Baton Rogue, no new con-
struction whatever is contemplated. No
equipment orders are planned, although

The Democratic leaders in the legi-
stature of 1907 over-appropriated the
revenues. They did the same thing
in 1909 and instead of repenting it
repeated it in 1911. And yet the
Democratic politicians in 1910 howled
about the extravagance of the Republi-
can State administration. When will
the people of Missouri learn that Demo-
cratic leaders are louder in protests and
pretensions than in performance2

shown difference of 200 in favor of CT

the official vote returned by the elect

First Trip To Market.

w. II. Britain of Hollister, Mo-,
seems to be in class by himself For
the first time in his life, Mr.. Britain
came in with shipment of stock last
week. Over so years old, and the
owner of several large farms, and the
raiser of hundreds of head of cattle and
hogs each year, he had never ventured
away till this time. He lives in the
white river country of Taney county, in
the heart of the Ozarks. Wild turkeys,
raccoons, foxes and wolves are to be
found there in great numbers.
While this was his first trip to large
city. and his frs. visit to market, Mr..
Britain did not shy around or ask any
foolish questions, Mingling with hun
dreds of other stocksmen and farmers,
he seems to make his way about with
out much trouble. His custom has
been all along to sell his stock at home
and so he has spent his time right in
his own nejghborhood.
But this is an event I shall never
forget" said Mr.. Britain. "Of course
I read the daily papers, and study the
markets and all that, but that is not
like seeing this big live stock collect
ion, or this large city. I suppose I
might have come up many time, but
simply had no desire to do so. But the
trip is worth the coming, as I have
learned a great deal. Kansas City

tabulating the vote is attributable to q
natural mistake in counting ballots, not
to fraud. IF any ballots were fraud
ulently cast they remain to be dis
covered through examination of the
registration. IF election officials prac
ticed fraud of any kind there is no evi-
dence of it, while there is abundant
evidence that the election was one OF
the fairest, cleanest and most orderly
ever conducted in the city or county
What, then, do the Democratic con-
testants expect to gain by prolonging
their suits in the Supreme court? One
of them has asked what would the
people of the State think of US if we
should drop the contests? Evidently
they would conclude that we were not
in earnest" That conclusion was
early reached by the people of the
State and has been followed by the ulti-
mate conclusion that there never was
any ground for such contests and that
fair play and common honesty demand
their withdrawal. If the Democratic
contestants are not aware of this preva-
lent conviction among the people they
are densely ignorant concerning public

If appropriation made by the legi-

of 1911 and 1912 the people must lay

The statement that there is ne prece-
dent for the course pursued by the lie 2
islaturc in placing rider on the ap-
preparation of 800, 900 for support Of
the state game department, conditioned
that no part thereof shall be available
as long as long as Jesse A. Tolerton
remains state game and fish COM
missioner or is connected In any way
with the department, is not sustained
by the records.
There are several precedents. While
David r. Francis was governor of Mis-
souri he approved bill of this character
May II, 1889. This measure contain
ed but one short section, reading as fol-
lows:
Section l. There is hereby appro-
priated out of the state treasury charge
able to the state revenue fund, for sup
port and maintenance of the State uni
versity at Columbia, the sum of S67 900.
For payment of balance due Prof. S. S.
Laws for specimens in museum $623.o3
Provided that none of the appropriation
hereby made for such institutions shall
be audited or paid by the state treasur-
er while Prof ]. w. Sanberne is con-
nected in any way with said institu-
tion."
Champ Clark represented Pike county
in that session of the legislature and
Joseph ]. Russell, now congressman
fromsthe Fourteenth district, was speaker
of the house. It is said that Mr.. Clark
was largely instrumental in having the
Sanborne rider placed upon this bill.
At that time Prof Sanborne was dean
OF the State Agricultural college and a
bitter fight had been waged upon him
for some time by Colonel Abiel Leon
ard of Cooper county and other mem
bers of the state board of agriculture.
There was no contest in the courts
concerning the validity of this rider.
Prof. Sanborne left the state and later
Dr.S.-S. Laws. who was then the head
of the university and the sponsor for
Prof Sanbone, also retired.
During the 1907 legislature a bitter
fight was waged upon State Game War
den Rhodes of Sedalia, an appointee of
Governor Folk. In order to reach him
the Legislature repealed that part of lhe
law under which he was appointed and
enacted in a lieu thereof a section
for new appointment. Thiss
act was not contested. MIR. Rhode
retired and Mr.. Bassford of Mexic
was appointed and served until January
1909.
This time, appears, the power of the
legislature to attach ridders to appro-
priations, as in the case of State Game
and Fish Commissioner Tolerton, will
be made the subject of judicial in
quiry in the supreme court and ruling
from that body.
The governor has said that he would
not remove Mr. Tolerton and The latter
has no notion of resigning. After the
general contingent appropriation bill
is approved. Mr.. Tolerton will make
demand upon the auditor for warrant
for his salary for some date following
the going into effect of the appropria-
ton bill. In view of the rider, the
auditor will refuse to issue the same,
and then Mr.. Tolerton will institute
mandamus proceedings in the supreme
court to compel him to do so, and in
this way, it is expected, judicial rul-
inc will he obtained

The Little Paths.

''They shall walk nj n path."-JoelH H,s.
The valley path broad and smooth, with flowers on
either side
And place of shade and place of sun where one
would fain abide;
The valley has the lure of peace of pleasure and
But yonder through the mountain walls by which the
vale is pent
There winds another path that climbs by cliff and
crag and peak
Until it bendi6g sky, far as the eye may
And it is dark and it rough, but it is little worn
For few the feet of fearless the mountain path
has borne;
It huries from the drowsy shade it leaves the mead
green,
It finds the frowning chasm walls that it may creep
between
But it climbs on and on and on, forever reaching
high
Until at last finds the height shoulders to the
sky.
But tired the valley breathes its song of lazy
And would strive on and on until we reach
the
For here birds and honeyed blooms and here
and shade;
But there in misty nothingness the barren SUBMITS
fade,
But yet the path CLEANS fair and white against the
mountain side
who would struggle up and up when here he
may abide?
One valley here-but one, place that drones in dull
content;
The climbing path tells of the men who struggled as
they went,
Who batled and batted up until they
way
And found wondrous land outspread for such brave
souls as they.
Our valley of content in truth, is pleasing
sight
thousand valleys for him who wins the distant
height.

Internal Revenue Service of this

Internal Revenue Service of ths
Treasury Department.
Agents Of the Collector In Vir-
ginia are more Illicit distilleries in
the mountains Of that state today
than ever before. The same opin-
ion is expressed by the officials OF
Washington. They do not, however,
confine themselves to the statement
that this business is thriving only liz
the mountains. They say that as q
matter of fact 1t is being actively
carried on in all parts of the country
and that only the most unremftting
vigilance on the part of the govern
ment agents keeps it from assuming
hugh proportions.
The temptation to distil liquor
that will not be burdened with the
internal revenue tax is great and the
time will never come, the revenue
officers, say, when 1t will be possible
to convince a considerable share of
the population that there is anything
wrong In eyading the revenue laws.
The situation Is comparable. they
say, to that In the customs service,
where officers at New York and Bos-
ton find people otherwise eminently
respectable perpetrating wholesale
frauds upon the government by fail
ing to declare dutiable goods bought
In Europe.
