THE COLORED PEOPLE WILL CAST THEIR VOTES for J. D. Franklin, for COUNTY TREASURER. Because he hes proven to be the Right Man for this place VOL IX Vote for ➤vote For ST THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. 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.

He will make a clerk that will be a credit to the people of this county, and he is a man will treat everybody with the best and kindest respect, making no distinction to his color or wealth nor his politics. Let every colored voter in this city and county vote for him next Tuesday and elect him circuit clerk.

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. The senatorship will fake care of itself Vote the straight Republican ticket just as printed, and you will make no mistake. Vote for Kelly Old paper for sale here Election three weeks off.

Railroad Rei Meee ce | In detecting a false gem from a gen- uine, the X-ray, says an article on X-ray photography, in _ Leslie's Monthly, can be relied on with abso- iute 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 ix transparent to | ordinary light, is opaque to the Roent- |gen ray. On an X-ray photograph Jof a real diamond nothing will show out the shadow of the gold setting. | Andnteresting experiment wasmade recently in watching with the aid of an [Xray machine and a fluoroscope, mo- ‘tions 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 pas- rage of the food down the long neck of the goose could be plainly traced by the moving shadow cast on the fuoroscope screen. He Never Talks, Gen.

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.

Mother and Child When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers. It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause. To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure. What Mrs. Eiley, Puch, E. Palestine, G. O'Brien, 125, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 14, 1901. Received your sample, it has done so much good, send me a 50c bottle." March 29, "Bottle came late, did me a lot of good drugs here don't another at once, so enclosed is 50c, please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 16, "Enclosed is 50c, for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done me much good." Laxakola for Old Folks. In the Autumn and Winter of Life, when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best adapted to that purpose. So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properly and the liver and kidneys are active and strong, your food is assimilated properly, your blood is kept pure and rich, and your nerves are strong. The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up. That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system in a condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy. Laxakola Does It. Blotched, sallow, unwholesome and muddy skin, with its consequent mortification, often leading to morbid seclusion and aversion to society and friends, shows that your bloods had 'the only chance to be healthy' it to its normal healthy, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system, purify the blood and remove the LAXAKOLA FOR THE COMPLEXION Pale, Weak, Run-down, Overworked Mothers with Fretty Children, half sick, nervous, tired out with household and sick, with a broken heart, liver torpid, with blotched, muddy, sallow complexions, blood thin and impure, need building up and a thorough renovation of their systems. This is the time you need to build a new home. FAAKAKA, the greatic laxative, it well as acting directly on the pores and assisting the paraspinial glands in throwing off impurities. It purifies the blood as no other medicine can, and your skin will not only be well but you will be well. gently moves the bowels and thus removes the cause, acts directly upon the liver and kidneys, keeping them active and strong, while its marvellous tonic properties clear the complexion, stimulate the liver, quicken the circulation, increase the flesh and brighten the eye; the nervousness speedily disappears and the entire system recuperates and tones up to a condition of perfect and permanent health. LAXAKOLA is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of constipation, constipation requires a mild and efficient laxative and tonic, and is invaluable in assisting to relieve obstructions which otherwise would lead to more or less severe pain or illness. LAXAKOIA acts as a tonic to the whole female system, strengthening the organs and purifying the blood. It will cure the most confirmed case of constipation. With your bowels and stomach free from refuse and impurities, and your blood pure and will, headaches, weak nerves, blench, muddy, sallow complexions will vanish, and you will feel and look strong, healthy and vigorous.

Isn't it Worth 25c. To Be Cured of Constipation People who suffer from habitual constipation with all its attendant lilies, clogged stomach and bowels, sluggish liver, heartburn, indigestion, and thin and impure blood, are too apt to believe that the only remedy is violent purgatives. Such cathartics are irritating and gripping, worse. There is a laxative that moves the bowels without pain or perforation, recurs with greater difficulty of cure and the sufferer constantly growing liver, strengthens the nerves, and purifies the blood, while its marvellous tonic properties tome up the gastrointestinal tract. Laxakola Does It Our remarkable tonic properties reach every organ—the liver, the kidneys and stomach, nerve, heart and brain—and removes the cause of debilitating conditions by acting as a general tonic. This is the only way to secure an absolute and permanent cure. In order that all may test this great curative, we have a test of the tonic.
