sentialIy modern in spirit.
In the caste are Mrs. Z. E. Rollins,
Mrs. C. M. Horton, Miss Louise Kra-
mer, Mr.. and Mrs. T. M. Sullivan,
Messrs. Philo Eldred, Geo. Backus, j.
K. Williams, Walter Heller and DR..
VanLandingham.
The PomerOy orchestra will furnish
excellent music during the evening.
As part of the proceeds are to go
towards the purchase of piano for the
school, this entertainment should be
well. patronized by the public. The
school girls will have for sale next

chance of defeating President Taft for
reelection. The Republican leaders are
now so confident that they queS ton
whether any body can defeat the Presi-
dent.
Second. the crisis has arrived in the
progress of the contest for the Presi-
Dental nomination Of next summer
when the leaders in the various States
and in Congress must declare where they
stand, If they hope to secure those big
favors which come mainly to those who
get in on the ground floor" Thus,
during the past week Senator John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, an
nounced that he favored Wilson. This
means that the New Jersey Governor
will certainly get the vote of Missis-
sippi in the convention. The Senators
of Virginia, the native state of Wilson
and the heads of the Democratic or.
ganization there have declared for him
in the hope that the Old Dominion may
have an eighth President of the United
States. Florida is with Wilson. 1t is
more than likely that Texas will be
also. Louisiana is very conservative,
and always slow in declaring herself.
She may remain in the Harmon camp.
The West will be with Wilson, and
all that part of the Middle West which
is not controlled so far as the Demo-
cratic organization is concerned by con-
sentative influences. In New York State
Murphy will, it is thought, hold the
delegation for trade. He will prob
ably be found with the Democratic "al-
lies" opposed to the nomination Of Will
son Some of those apparent 'allies"
may drop out in the meantime and their
followers hop on the Wilson band
wagon. The political changes in the
past few months have been kaleidos-
copic, but it is regarded by experienced
observers that the lines formed in
organization and policy for the cam
paign of 1912 will now hold and only
become more firm as time passes. The
of President Taft again is
assured. The recent meeting of the
at Chicago is looked upon
as fizzle. Less than 200 representa-
tives of the opponents of the President
were present With President Taft
and Governor Wilson facing each other,
it is conceded that the coming contest
will be more bitterly fought and ex-
citing than any since that of 1896.

LIGHTNING CAUSES DISASTROUS
FIRE At JEFFERSON CITY.
Many Of Records Of Governors and
Other State Offices Are Complete

Jefferson City, Mo. - The Mis-.
lori capitol building was entirely de-
stroyed by fire. The total loss in
Guiding the structure and many rec.
ords and state papers in the Offices of
The governor, secretary of state and
treasurer is estimated at 100000,
With no insurance.
Lightning, which struck the cupola
Of the dome shortly after z o'clock in
the morning, spread the flames to the
.oof of the house of representatives on
the north side of the structure, and in
ess than half hour it was apparent
that the entire building was doomed.
Because of the inadequacy of the
water pressure, the fire could not be
cached, and no aid could be rendered
or some time by the local fire COM
panies.
Governor Hadley personally directed
the fight against the flames, which, be-
cause Of the age of the building, rapid
y gained Roadway. The penitentiary
ire department was Immediately call
ed to the scene and the convicts work
ed heroically, scaling walls and TAX
ing dangerous chances for their lives.
The local military company was
called out and formed Gordon around
the building, driving spectators from
dangerous positions and removing rec
ords from the different state depart
ments. The fire soon spread to the
roof of the senate chamber on the east
side, where the efforts of the firemen
proved u1availing to check it.
The ltcords of the house of repre-
sentatif s were destroyed while those
of the senate were saved. In the state
treasurers Office more than $4,000 is
m the time vault, supposedly fire proof,
and may be saved when the debris is
cleared away. There was no insurance.
The historic capitol was erected in
1888 at a cost of $4,000 and in 1887
remodeled at a cost of $4,000.
The loss of the house records prac-
tically necessitates the work of the
present session being done over. At
midnight a part of the Sedalia, Mo-,
fire department which arrived after a
run of GA miles on special Missouri
Pacific train, joined the local forces in
an effort to save the records in the
basement of the building, the cement
floors over which are believed to be
intact.
Gov. Hadley announced that he
would grant pardons to several con.
victs who risked their lives to save
state papers.

of fire engines in the street.

and is nearly impossible to explode
when frozen. The temperature on the
day Of the explosion and for a week
before was below As"
Hudson Maxim, the inventor, an
authority on explosives, inclined to
the same belief. He agreed the after
effects of the explosion suggested gun
powder rather than dynamite.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

Ihave suffered from the same trou.
BILE (painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The first time of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The infiamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base Of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that I had to use
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of inflammation, possibly not more
than week or two afterwards. These
frequent infammations resulted in the
loss Of the nail. I had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again I tried various remedies, among
them prescription from doctor Of
friend Of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so Irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that could not use It.
I began to use Cuticura Soap; and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as could. had not
used it but few weeks before my
nails were better, and in short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor inflam-
nation. the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used In effecting
cure" (signed) Mrs. I. J. Horton,
