An Earnest Appeal to the Colored Voters of Pettis County. We again bother your mind with a few facts why we ask you to support Mr. CC Kelly for prosecuting attorney, because we know of his superior qualifications to fill this office. Because we know and are thoroughly acquainted with his ability as a good lawyer, one who fears no man before the bar. Because we know that he is the laboring man's friend, and at all times and places shows to the colored people that he is their friend. Because he recognizes all men, and makes no difference as to his color or wealth. Because he is trying to make a clean race, and is not offering to buy the Negro votes for beer and whisky. Because he will make the people of Petitis county an attorney that everyone will feel proud of. Because he has proven his ability as a lawyer and prosecutor in all the courts of Petitis county. What more can you ask? What more can you expect of a man for such office, and for these reasons as well as a host of others we ask you as free citizens and lovers of good government to cast your vote for Mr. C, C. Kelly for prosecuting attorney. WHY YOU Should Vote for J, H. Bothwell for Representative. Because he is a true representative of all the people of Pettis county. Because he has done more for the people of this county than any other man. Because he stands today and always will stand for equal rights to all men, regardless of color or wealth. Because he has proven to be a great benefactor to the state, and is recognized by all as a leader and gentleman. Because he has proven to every Negro in the state that he was a true friend to them. Because he does not believe in purchasing Negro votes by means of whisky, beer, money etc. Because he has stood by the Negro in business in state affairs and in education. Because he is acknowledged by all as a statesman, a statesman a legislator, a lawyer and a business man. Because when you vote for him for representative you enable him to cast a vote for a republican senator. Now can the colored voters of Pettis county think of voting against him. We appeal to your conscience. manhood, and as a legal voter, stand by the man who always stood by you and the man who has always been your friend. Great pressure will be brought to bear by the state democratic election machinery to elect their representative from this county. They have sent out their agents to hustle up the Negro voters and purchase them if possible for this position as it has been rumored on the streets. The question is now will the Negro allow himself to be hoodwinked by such machinery and persuaded to cast one vote against such a gentleman and statesman as J. H. Bothwell, who is acknowledged as one of the leading factors of the state. The Negroes of Sedalia and Pettis county never did and never will have a better friend in the house of representatives than Hon. J. H. Bothwell. While he was in the minority his influence ranked and balanced with those of the majority. The Negroes of this county cannot afford to go against VOTE C.

N H Rogers, J L Smith, T P Berry Next Tuesday will wind up the big campaign fight this year, and in this election the colored voters will cut a big figure, and it is our duty as republicans, and as men, who loves the rights of the Negro, to appear to them, this our last issue, before the election. To be careful how they vote, and be sure that when they cast their vote next Tuesday, that they are voting for the party that has for years and years been their friend. In your vote layes your only rjght and voice in the state, and county government, and when you vote it you say by that act, that you want certain men to run the affairs. The democratic candidates are attempting to purchase from the Negro whoes faces is black, the only right he has in solisiting their sufferage by the influence of whiskey, beer and small sums of money, as if to say that they are not worthy nor qualified to control their own votes and to make his own selection as to who he wants as state and county offices. They have supplied saloons to fill the colored voters with such drinks to control their votes. They have employed white men to stay among the colored boys to buy their votes, and are making all kind of promises under the sun in order to rob them of their rights as free men and American citizens, and a taxpayer, hundreds of dollar are layed down in which to buy certain colored votes the srme as they ought Negroes in the 50's and 60's before the war. It seems as if they do not honor or respect the Negro enough to offer him good and respectable appointments that he can earn a respectable living for a term of one two years, nor do they respect his manhood and citizenship enough to to go among them and talk to them as they do the white man. But they disregard him as a free man and an American, so much as to make up big boodle funds and send out their agents to buy up the Negro votes the same as if buying hogs and cattle for the market. We ask you old men, who'e hair is hair is turning gray from the many frosty and sunny days of slavery, young men who future pointrs to great success for themselves, their families and their race. Will you; allow your only right as a citizeu, and as a voter to be bought and controlled by an boodlist, and by so doihg elect men who by their acts has proqen to you that they are your bitterest enemy. Will you, my dear friends of this city and county allow yourselves to be bought from supporting such men as Hon J. H. Bothwell, C. C. Kelly, R. N. Lower and James Ringen and other such republicans who is the true friend to the Negro. Let us impress upon your mind again. Be men, and honest men, allow no man to own and control your vote for the sake of a dollar or two but to the polls next Tuesday as honest and sober-minded free Americans and for the men that has always been your friend and are today, and they are on the republican ticket. Vote 'er straight, Many of the colored voters will reject and use all the enfluence they can against Mr Emmett McClure, who is the democratic candidate for re-election of County Collector, from the fact that he has not treated the Negro as a public office-holder should, he has treated cooler than any other man in the court house, he never helps accolored church or any Negro enterprises only at the eve of an election and he wants their votes. He promises some of the colored boys two years ago if they would vote for him, he would prove to them that he was their friend, and from the count two years hense, some of them must have voted for him and he was elected. But did he prove to be their friend after his election? Has he contributed to help any of the Negro churches? No! Has he helped our newspapers in having tax notices published to the colored people? No! Has endorsed "any" Negro for any kind of a job? No! Has he proven to any Negro or set Negroes that he was their friend, in any thing he has said or done? No! Then will the colored voters of Sedalia cast votes for such a man, who has set down on everything that is for the building up of the Negro, because are not altogether of his political opinion. Let the few hundred Negro voters of Sedalia, vote for honest men, men who will your own race and men who knows your people the same after election the same as during campaign. Prove to those who has spent their money in saloons to control the colored vote, that principle and manhood is not bought with such stuff in Sedalia, and the only way that the Negro can convince these kind of candidates is vote in one solid mass against such men. Keep your eyss on the candidate that offers to buy your vote, next Tuasday, put him on your list as a fraud and a forgery from the law, and a bitter enemy to the people whom he tries to buy. The only way to get such men as the honorable D. Pat Dyer, and other true and tried friends of the Negroes of Missouri as our State Senator, is to elect such a man as our old friend and standby Hon. J. H. Bothwell to the House of Representive this year. Remember if you vote f r J. H. Bothwell for Representive, you are voting for one of best representative men in our county, and again we will yon this fact that you will be voting for a republican Senator. Stay with the Negro's best friend Hon Bothwell If the colored people wants the right thing, and a man that the people can talk too for Constable they certainly ought to vote for J. N, Harper and make his majority 600 or more. Everybody all over the State is talking, Lamm, Lamm! Lamm! and voter of I ettis county should see to it that "Lamm" is on his ticket next Tuesday. Elect Jas, Ringen as County Collector Tuesday The end is near at hand and the victory is our's, all that is now to do is to count the votes and rejoice How big will the republican majority be when we all do our part in the voting next Tuesday? Be sure and cast your votes early and don't wait for the price to go up for you may go up with the price. Mr edior; please state that I Thomas Carter, is not working for any committee Vote the republican ticket Dont vote against such a man as J. H. BOTHWELL Next Tuesday you will have a chance to help those who have helped you. Make well of the opportunity. Don't allow yourself to be purchased to vote for a democrat for a democrat with his whiskey and small sums of money. The colored voters must remember their friends this fall, How many votes do beer and whiskey get nowaday. Yes the strike !s settled, and will coal come down a little. Send J. H. Bothwell back as our representative Elect a Republican Supreme Court and Legislature first.

By way of preliminary to his swim cross the channel, Holbein essayed creatively to lower the record created will-fated Capt. Webb for the swim between Dover and Ramsgate, a distance of 20 miles if a direct course could be followed, but probably not less than five and twenty allowing or the deviation caused by contrary dies and currents. The swimmer failed by some four miles, the bad weather and the tracing tide against him making any attempt to reach Ramsgate futile. He refused, however, to leave the water until he had swam back to Deal, and so completed the exact distance between the coasts of England and France. Had the conditions remained favorable there is no doubt that he would have beaten the existing time of $8 \frac{3}{4}$ hours by over $2 \frac{1}{4}$ hours. Profitting by the experience gained last year, when his plucky attempt to swim the channel eame so near accomplishment, Mr. Holbein is well rubbed with oil before entering the water, end, to obviate injury to his eyes from the salt, wears a mask of american sticking plaster, with glass goggles. His physique and power of endurance are little short of wonderful, and his only fear is the arising of a sudden storm. For sustenance he relies mainly on liquid beef essence, varied by an occasional sandwich, supplied to him by his companions in the accompanying boat. COUNT BECOMES COBBLER. Austrian Nobleman Renounces His Station, the World and Its Pleasures. From the pleasures of a gilded mouth to a cobbler's bench is the ro- matic career of Count Edward Sta- tios, a member of one of the noblest families of Austria. The somewhat mutual moral of the tale is the fact that in the face of a fresh smile from tickle fortune he prefers to remain cobbler. The affair came about in his way: The young count, having assisted his wealth, was wandering through a forest in Hungary when he came upon a cobbler, to whom he confessed his poverty. The man of him a home and a trade, and the count accepting, was taken to his home and taught to make and mend shoes. one day a man of law, who had been looking for him a long time, arrived, and told him that by the successive and rapid deaths of all his male relatives he had become heir of the immense fortune of the Stadios and member of the house of peers ofustrin. This sudden prosperity coming after so many misfortunes did not turn the head of the nobleobbler, who, according to rumor, ordered himself a simple hut to be built in the forest, and now, having reounced the vanities of the world, he lives in this hut, making and mending his own shoes. DEATH VALLEY NITER. Recept Discoveries of Deposits in That Region Cause Rush of Prospectors. Discoveries of vast deposits of niter in Death valley have started a rush to that desolate region. Dozens of expeditions fitted out by capitalists and hundreds of miners are leaving Daggett, Borate, Randsburg and Mojave for Death valley. Already there are more than 400 men waiting at Ballarat for information as to which portion of the terrible desert is best to rush to, says a late report. The nitrate deposits are reported by the discoverers as being of such extent as to rival if not surpass those of Chili. So far their real range is not known, but many square miles have been examined by the prospectors. There are millions of dollars' worth of the much-sought material in sight. Those who have so far made claims to the niter beds are poor men. "Borax King" Smith, Lord Humphreys and Millionaire Singleton are the capitalists who have taken the keenest interest in the fields, but they have as yet made no claims. Nearly 100 men are being sent into Death valley by "Borax King" Smith, Lord Humphreys and The expense attached to their operations will approximate $250,000. Unjustly Punished. A friend of mine returning to camp after a day's shooting, says a writer in Navy and Army, suddenly came in sight of a big she bear with two cubs following in single file, proceeding along a ridge, the forms of the three being sharply silhouetted against the sky. It was a very long shot, but he determined to try it, so drew a bead on the old she bear and fired. The result was curious. The procession stopped, the she bear scratched herself hastily, then turned around, and, regarding the crab immediately behind with grave disapproval, boxed its ears soundly, and then went trundling on along the ridge, evidently under the impression that her frolicsome offspring had been up to some unusually objectionable tricks. A Musical Note. Music is declared by a Smart Set writer to be at once the "glory and the scandal of the universe." It is certain, says the Chicago Tribune, that a great deal of glorious music is scandalously sung. Japan's Cheap Mail. The cheapest postal service in the world is that of Japan, where for two sen—about seven-tenths of a penny—letters are conveyed all over the empire. SOME NOTABLE OLD MEN. Chief Engineer Carl Neupert, of the Hamburg-American liner Auguste Victoria, the oldest chief engineer of the line, has completed his one hundredth trip. When he returns to Hamburg he will have completed 780,000 miles of ocean travel. He says he will not retire until he has traveled a million miles. Patrick T. Kanneally believes himself to be the oldest peanut vender among New England summer resorts. He celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his beginning business at Salem Willows, Thursday, July 10, and during that time he has sold 15,000 bushels of peanuts in pint bags, making 960,000 bags in all. He is totally blind. Hoggy Jaggiele, who was a drummer boy for Andreas Hofer in the war against the great Napoleon, celebrated his one hundred and second birthday in Vienna the other day. He became attached to the person of the peasant general when nine years old, attended him in all his great battles and still remembers many of the heroes of that day, particularly Victor Eugene, Napoleon's beloved stepson. Ashaway, R. L. boasts the possession of a more notable group of seven old men than can be found in any other town of its size. The remarkable group met the other day at a photographer's and had their pictures taken. Their ages range from 83 to 92 years, the average being 83 years and 7 months. All are farmers and each is still actively at work, the oldest, Matthew S. Kenyon, having dug seven bushels of potatoes one day not long ago. SHOWN BY THE JEWELERS. Hatpins show large French brilliants set in balls. Long pearl necklaces are shown which tie in the back with silver tassels. For evening wear there are jeweled tortoise-shell combs which come in sets of three and four. Little gilt pins that securely clasp the bow worn low on the back of the hair in the new low coiffure are among the novelties. Sterling silver vases come in beautiful designs, being tall and slender in shape to accommodate long-stemmed flowers. Among bug pins is a dragon fly with wings of emeralds and ruby eyes. Butterfly pins have wings set in emeralds, diamonds and rubies. One of the newest things in jewelry this fall is a thumb seal ring, coming direct from Rome. The ring of either silver or gold is massive in appearance and the seal is large enough to be of practical use in sealing letters. It bears an engraved coat of arms or a curiously wrought monogram, plain letters not being considered good form.

Some contain a tiny powder puff and powder, a small perfume bottle, besides a place for the pictured face of a sweetheart. Others are intended to hold small change—nickels and dimes—and have a sort of string to hold the coin secure, while others hold a thimble and a small emery.

DISTILLER'S DISTRIBUTING CO.-Dept. 4, 431 North Clark St., Chicago, Ill. The X-Ray Can Be Relied On with Absolute Certainty in Making the Test. In detecting a false gem from a genuine, the X-ray, says an article on X-ray photography, in Leslie's Monthly, can be relied on with absolute certainty. Diamonds, as is well known, are pure carbon; and carbon, which is opaque to ordinary light, is transparent to the Roentgen light, while glass, which is transparent to ordinary light, is opaque to the Roentgen ray. On an X-ray photograph of a real diamond nothing will show out the shadow of the gold setting. An interesting experiment was made recently in watching with the aid of an X-ray machine and a fluoroscope, motions carried on inside of an opaque body. A goose was fed with food mixed with subnitrate of bismuth salt, which absorbs the X-ray. The passage of the food down the long neck of the goose could be plainly traced by the moving shadow cast on the fluoroscope screen. He Never Talks. Gen. Kitchener recently declined to be interviewed by a soldier who has since his return from South Africa turned journalist.

Short Talks On Advertising ByCharles Austin Bates. No.43. Farming is generally looked upon as a very simple occupation. A farmer is considered an independent individual, because his business is safe and pleasant. Probably the most enviable feature is its Probably the most enviable feature is its safety. Farmers are nearly sure of making something. They make more some years than others, but on the whole it is a safe business. Just the same, we hear of farmers failing and of the foreclosure of farm mortgages. This is because the farmer didn't attend to his business properly. s Advertising is just as safe, and a great deal more profitable, than farming, but there are people who fail at it. A farmer has first to look for a rich and fertile field—so has the advertiser. The field must then be cultivated and the seed planted—so must advertising be planted. "Farming is generally looked upon as a very simple occupation." The farmer must take care of his crop, keep the weeds down, keep the ground properly fertilized and irrigated, and the advertiser must perform corresponding offices for his advertisements. If he plants an ad in a poor paper, where the soil is not good, he cannot expect to get much of a crop of returns. If he plants it in a good paper and allows it to run to seed he cannot expect very much. If he plants an ad in a poor paper, where the soil is not good, he cannot expect to get much of a crop of returns. If he plants it in a good paper and allows it to run to seed he cannot expect very much. If the farmer and the advertiser will both select good soil: "Just the same, we hear of foreclosure of farm mortgages." If the farmer and the advertiser will both select good soil; put good seed into it, and take care of the sprouts, the harvest is sure to be satisfactory in both cases.

HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: **Gentlemen:** Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. The treatment, cataract, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, our mothers, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. Had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five hours the hearing in the ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and bee to remain. Very truly yours. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation. Examination and advice free. YOU CAN CURE YOURSELF AT HOME at a nominal cost.

BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is more irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "children like it and ask for it." BEST because the tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent cathartics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, foss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by exhilling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. “It really is a small one,” he said. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to well-being him. But a doctor, who said it was informational of the lowers, and that I would never pull him through pre-hospital care, which was to be setting together, I stopped giving him its needles, he would keep nothing on the stomach. He was troubled with very much, and used to screen when he had to touch it. I did not know what it was to do; he was very old or right. I gave him a new drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I had to fill in the time and I would like to return to the room and I was very excited. I was very prettyுத் all his risk. He is a great deal better looking at baby stress. I was like LAXAKOLA, and I think it is. I는 others knew how good it was, they would be nothing else to the sick ladders. MRS. MARY DALEY, 207 First Street, South Boston, Mass.
