RO3B We are authorized to announce Clemens Honkompt, as a candidate for the office of Treasurer of Pettis County, subject to the will of the voters of said County If any of our citizens are still undecided as to how they will cast their ballots, we would urge upon them the importance of aligning themselves with the Republicans. No dobt, can possibly be raised, that will be sufficiently strong, to discredit the ability of the Republican party to wisely administer the public affairs of this nation. From the Executive down thru all the various departments, the acts of the present administration are open for the inspection of the world. While the rule of the republicans has not been without mistakes, yet all Americans can safely maintain that there has been less serious mistakes made under the present regime to those committed under the democratic sway. Hence, for good government, the impartial enforcement of the laws and the maintenance ajar of the "door of hope" for the negro, as well as other classes of our citizenry, we should support solidly and completely the entire Republican ticket. Let per onal animosities and antipathies be waived for the present, in order that our energies may be used concentratively for one purpose—the election of Theodore Roosevelt and all, who follow his invicible leadership. THE visit of Vice-Presidential Candidate, Charles W. Fairbanks and party, to this State and City, at this stage of the campaign is a very significant indication that the National Republican Organization is sanguinely hopeful of changing the electoral vote of this State, from the Democratic line-up to that of the Republi ans. Roosevelt's personal popularity along with the general prosperity that everywhere prevails, strengthens the hope of our party for success The speeches made by both vicepresidential nominee, Fairbanks and senator Mason were convincing arguments. Demonstratio s for the occasion were adequate to convi ce the visitors that Sedalia and Petis county are overwhelmingly for all that they represent. Those pa ticipating actively in the Fairbanks demonstration were the celebrated Selalia Flam beau club, the Walbridge club, the Colored Marching club and the entire student body of G. O. R. Smith College. 126 strong, and thousands of others. Poor old Democracy! She is certainly on the "bum". Even rockribbed Missouri has threatened to leave her ranks. Too much kicking and corruption has been practiced by her leaders. No longer have they the confidence of the people. Every leader among them subordiate the people's interests to their personal ambition. Republican victory in the state is very probable on the 8th of next month. Conditions are more favorable than ever before; the people want a change and the utter disgust that a large element of the state democracy have for Mr. Folk, since his "coming in to the Machine" community of interests. All these signs portend a "Redeemed Missouri". SOUTH GROVE. The revival at the Missionary Baptist church was a success. The M. E. church has one in session now. And, we hope that it may be a success also. Miss Mary J. Stevenson's many friends regt her departure very much. Many will miss her from our society circles. She will be specially missed by the Mters B. S. and G. L. C. Tho we shall miss her sorely, yet we desire that she have a mo t successful year's work with her school.

SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSEVATOR It had come about romantically—so different from ordinary "going together"—chiefly by a series of (ostensibly) accidental meetings at the pasture edge when Clara was driving home the cows. He had loved her, it seemed, ever since they went to school together at the corner school house, when he was one of the big boys on the back seat, and she the littlest girl in the primer class, shaking her yellow curls and answering the teacher's questions with a timid "Ja!" When he tenderly reminded her of this, Clara blushed. "You oughtn't to joke me about that George. Specially when your mother hates Germans so." SHAKING HER YELLOW CURLS. "Mother's prejudice," said George enoughfully. "But she don't know you yet, Clara!" He spoke with the perennial bouyancy of lovers. But in truth he spoke more hopefully than he felt. He knew—none better—the rock-ribbed. New England granite of his mother's character and her furious scorn of foreigners, especially the class she called "them nasty Dutchmen." "But she's been wantin' me to get married," he reflected, "eversincefather died. Maybe she'll take it kind of easy." Indeed Mrs. Stevens had been heard to remark that it was high time George was choosing a companion. But when she learned that the chosen companion was Clara Hartmann her wrath knew no bounds. "You'll never bring a Dutch girl here," she said, closing her thin lips with a snap. "I'm not askin' to bring anybody here," retorted George. "I'm goin' to build on the southeast 80." "You'll never get a cent o' my money unless you give that creature up!" "I don't want your money! But I hate to have you feel so, mother!" "I ain't goin' to have it, George!" vowed the mother. George Stevens was a dutiful son, but maternal authority in these matters is not in Iowa what it is in France. Work was begun on his house, and what leisure he had was spent with Clara. He still lived with his mother, for both of them dreaded a more definite rupture. But Mrs. Stevens could not resist per- RECOGNITION There is glory and song from the gathering throng For the man who with fortune is blesst; But there is scarcely a word, as is journey milestone; For the fellow that's doing his best. But he waits and he toils without thought of the spoils. And edges in honest cared rest— And at the end of world calls in the midst of its broils, On the fellow that's doing his best. And the creature of chance or the minion of power. Fades away, a discarded and delicate flower. And the man who steps forth as the man of the hour. Is the fellow that's doing his best. —Washington Star. MEALS OF ALL CLIMES. An interesting exhibition is promised in Leipzig, Germany. It is to be an international cooking and eating exhibit to illustrate the meals and restaurants of all countries and all ages. Of course there will be dishes prepared in the French, English, American, Chinese, Turkish and Italian style. There also will be rooms decked out as eating-houses, in the manner those establishments are seen in all the countries of the world. Not alone civilized nations will be represented. Dishes will be served as they are in the South sea islands and among the Hottentots and Ainos. Leaving modern times, the exhibition actual girding and bitterness against her son's choice. Hate seemed to have perverted her nature. One day she crossed the line. "Huh, George," she sneered, "you don't need to marry her!" That day George Stevens left his mother's house, he thought, forever. But God disposes. One morning Doris Parker, the distant cousin who stayed with his mother, came to the tenant house where George was staying till his own should be finished. "She's had a stroke. You better come home George." The old woman—she looked suddenly aged and withered and ghastly—glutched him with dreadful eagness. "Promise me you'll give her up, George." "I'll stay with you till you get well, mother." Mrs. Stevens rallied slightly. George's marriage was indefinitely postponed; he could not leave his stricken mother. One morning she summoned him. "I alm't go to live many days. I feel it comin', I've made another will. All my propensity goes to Doris Parker unless you let that Dutch girl go. And if you don't I'll leave you your mother's dyin' curse!" "Oh, mother! mother!" "What are you goin' to do?" The young man raised an anguished face. "Give me till night to decide, mother." She made a gesture of assent with the feeble head on the pillow. George saddled his swiftest horse and rode away to wrestle out his problem alone, torn between filial yearning and piloted love. Clara Hartmann and her mother ran out into their yard that afternoon at the sound of a woman's shrieks. A frantic spread-eagle figure bore down upon them—Doris Parker, scorched, disheveled, breathless. "Land o' mercy!" gasped Doris, "where's the men folks?" "Threshing at Heintzes," said Clara. "What's the matter?" "Oh, Lord!" moaned Doris. "I was startin' the gasoline stove an' it exploded. The house is afire!" "Mein Gott! Vot soll wir tui?" cried the German woman, wringing her hands. "It is three miles de men is!" "Where's she?" demanded Clara. "In her bedroom downstairs! Oh, land! What can you do?" But Clara was running swift and straight as a young deer toward the white house on the hill with the tower of smoke above. She broke the catch of the screen door with one wrench of her splendid young body. Dashing through the hall into the smoky bedroom she wrapped the eager-eyed invalid in her quilts and bore her out. "I reckoned somebody'd come," said the old woman, composedly, as Clara, paiting, laid her on the grass. "Do you 'spouse you could get my wooden box of papers on the shelf over the bed? An' my log-cabin silk quilt?" Clara darted into the smoky hall. She came out a moment later with the box. "I couldn't find the quilt," she gasped, apologetically. "No, it's in the closet. It ain't any consequence. Here! Stop! Don't you go into that house again!" But Clara, with one backward gimpse of a laughing, lovely face, had disappeared in the smoke wreathes. When she emerged bearing the quilt Mrs. Stevens was sitting up. "You obst'nate critter!" she remarked severely, as Clara dropped the quilt at her feet. "You've gone and got your bangs singed. You're Clara Hartmann, ain't you?" "Yes, ma'am," faltered Clara, smitten by sudden terror. Mrs. Stevens looked down the road. "There come the men at last! Doris Parker never had no head. Well," she continued, inclusively. "I guess you an' George 'il have to give me a home. Mine's gone an' I'm gettin' old an' I don't know as I'm gain' to die this trip." There is a little George now with yellow curls, whom his grandmother adores, but whom she frequently pronounces "as obstinate as both of 'em put together." committee intends to go back to the middle ages and serve dishes such as Martin Luther and Christopher Columbus enjoyed. They will go back still further and show what Julius Caesar, Pericles and Asnasia ate. Not satisfied with this, they will ransack Babylonian and Egyptian records. Scholars assert that enough is known of the cooking customs of these ancients to enable them to reproduce Babylonian and Egyptian meals. Imports Quoted Too High A curious thing in connection with import and export statistics is the wide disagreement of figures. Assuming that the exports of the world constitute the imports, the figures should exactly agree, but they never did and never do. Imports are always valued higher than the corresponding articles when exported. As a case in point, the total value of importations of all countries of the world in 1902 was $11,809,699,000, while the exports of all countries, which must form the imports, amounted to only $10,514,932,000, a difference of $1,354,699,000, or 13 per cent, more when stated as imports than when stated as exports.—N. Y. Press. Wife Cheaper in the End. The Pennsylvania man who offered $55 for the return of his wife had doubtless figured out that it would be cheaper than sending his shirts to the laundry. Frenzied Finance An Iowa farmer inadvertently fed a roll of bank notes into a threshing machine the other day. Another example of frenzied finance. A Parisian journalist estimates that Europeans on their vacations spend about $150,000,000 a year. Note.—The following article has been widely published and is one of the most remarkable illustrations of the value of careful marshalling and analysis of facts in presenting a subject to the public. LEVELERS The Mission of Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee. The Creator made all things, we believe. If so, He must have made these. We know what He made food and water for, and air and sunshine, but why Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee? They are here sure enough and each performing its work. There must be some great plan behind it all; the thoughtful man seeks to understand something of that plan and thereby to judge these articles for their true worth. Let us not say "bad" or "good" without taking testimony. There are times and conditions when it certainly seems to the casual observer that these stimulant narcotics are real blessings. Right there is the ambush that conceals a "killing" enemy. One can slip into the habit of either whiskey, tobacco or coffee easy enough, but to "untangle" is often a fearful struggle. It seems plain that there are circumstances when the narcotic effect of those poisons is for the moment beneficial, but the fearful argument against them is that seldom ever does one find a steady user of either whiskey, coffee or tobacco free from disease of some kind. Certainly powerful elements in their effect on the human race. It is a matter of daily history testified to by literally millions of people that Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee are smiling, promising, beguiling friends on the start, but always false as heil itself in the end. Once they get firm hold enough to show their strength, they insist upon governing and drive the victim steadily towards ill health in some form; if permitted to continue to rule, they will not let up until physical and mental ruin sets in. A man under that spell (and "under the spell" is correct) of any one of these drugs frequently assures himself and his friends: "Why, I can leave off any time I want to. I did quit for a week just to show I could." It is a sure mark of the slave when one gets to that stage. He wiggled through a week fighting every day to break the spell, was finally whipped and began his slavery all over again. The slave (Coffee slave as well as Tobacco and Whiskey) daily reviews his condition, sees perfectly plain the steady encroachments of disease, how the nerves get weaker day by day and demand the drug that seems to smile and offer relief for a few minutes and then leave the diseased condition plainer to view than ever and growing worse. Many times the Coffee slave realizes that he is between two fires. He feels bad if he leaves off and a little worse if he drinks and allows the effect to wear off. So it goes on from day to day. Every night the struggling victim promises himself that he will break the habit and next day when he feels a little bad (as he is quite sure to) breaks, not the habit, but his own resolution. It is nearly always a tough fight, with disaster ahead sure if the habit wins. There have been hundreds of thousands of people driven to their graves through disease brought on by coffee drinking alone, and it is quite certain that more human misery is caused by coffee and tobacco than by whiskey, for the two first are more widely used, and more hidden and insidious in the effect on nerves, heart and other vital organs, and are thus unsuspected until much of the dangerous work is done. Now, Reader, what is your opinion as to the real use the Creator has for these things? Take a look at the question from this point of view. There is a law of Nature and of Nature's God, that things slowly evolve from lower planes to higher, a sturdy, steady and dignified advance toward more perfect things in both the Physical and Spiritual world. The ponderous read of evolutionary development is fixed by the Infinite and will not be quickened out of natural law by any of man's methods. Therefore we see many illustrations showing how nature checks too rapid advance. Illinois raises phenomenal crops of corn for two or three years. If she continued to do so every year her farmers would advance in wealth far beyond those of other sections or countries. So Nature interposes a bar every three or four years and brings on a "bad year." Here we see the leveling influence at work. A man is prosperous in his business for a number of years and grows rich. Then Nature sets the "leveling influence" at work on him. Some of his investments lose, he becomes luxurious and lazy. Perhaps it is whiskey, tobacco, coffee, women, gambling, or some other form. The intent and purpose is to level him. Keep him from evolving too far ahead of the masses. A nation becomes prosperous and great like ancient Rome. If no leveling influence set in she would dominate the world perhaps for all time. But Dame Nature sets her army of "levelers" at work. Luxury, over-eating and drinking, licentiousness, waste and extravagance, indulgences of all kinds, then comes the wreck. Sure. Sure. Sure. The law of the unit is the law of the mass. Man goes through the same process. Weakness (in childhood), gradual growth of strength, energy, thrift, probity, prosperity, wealth, comfort, ease, relaxation, self-indulgence, luxury, idleness, waste, debauchery, disease, and the wreck follows. The "levelers" are in the bushes along the pathway of every successful man and woman and they bag the majority. Only now and then can a man stand out against these "levelers" and hold his fortune, fame and health to the end. So the Creator has use for Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee to level down the successful ones and those who show signs of being successful, and keep them back in the race, so that the great "field" (the masses) may not be left too far behind. And yet we must admit that same all wise Creator has placed it in the power of man to stand upright, clothed in the armor of a clean cut steady mind and say unto himself, "I decline to exchange my birthright for a mess of potage." "I will not deaden my senses, weaken my grip on affairs and keep myself cheap, common and behind in fortune and fame by drugging with whiskey, tobacco or coffee, life is too short. It is hard enough to win the good things, without any sort of handicap, so a man is certainly a 'fool trader' when he trades strength, health, money, and the good things that come with power, for the half-asleep condition of the 'drugger' with the certainty of sickness and disease ahead." It is a matter each individual must decide for himself. He can be a leader and semi-god if he will, or he can go along through life a drugged clown, a cheap 'hewer of wood or carrier of water.' Certain it is that while the Great Father of us all does not seem to "mind" if some of his children are foolish and stupid, he seems to select others (perhaps those he intends for some special work) and allows them to be threshed and castigated most fearfully by these "levelers." If a man tries flirting with these levelers awhile, and gets a few slaps as a hint, he had better take the hint or a good solid blow will follow. When a man tries to live upright, clean, thrifty, sober, and undrugged, manifesting as near as he knows what the Creator intends he should, happiness, health and peace seem to come to him. Does it pay? This article was written to set people thinking, to rouse the "God within" for every highly organized man and woman has times when they feel a something calling from within for them to press to the front and "be about the Father's business," don't mistake it; the spark of the Infinite is there and it pays in every way, health, happiness, peace, and even worldly prosperity, to break off the habits and strip clean for the work cut out for us. It has been the business of the writer to provide a practical and easy way for people to break away from the coffee habit and be assured of a return to health and all of the good things that brings, provided the abuse has not gone too far, and even then the cases where the body has been rebuilt on a basis of strength and health run into the thousands. It is an easy and comfortable step to stop coffee instantly by having well-made Postum Food Coffee served rich and hot with good cream, for the color and flavor is there, but none of the caffeine or other nerve-destroying elements of ordinary coffee. On the contrary the most powerful rebuilding elements furnished by Nature are in Postum and they quickly set about repairing the damage. Seldom it is more than 2 days after the change is made before the old stomach or bowel troubles or complaints of kidneys, heart, head or nerves show unmistakable evidence of getting better and ten day time changes things wonderfully. Literally millions of brain-working Americans today use Postum, having found the value and common sense in the change. C. W. POST. TALKS WITHOUT TONGUE. Robbed of Organ by Surgical Operation, New Jersey Man Articulates Better Than Before. Tongueless, yet able to talk better than when in possession of his organ of speech—that is the remarkable condition of William Bunting, a wealthy bachelor of Elmer, N. J., who received treatment recently in Philadelphia. Mr. Bunting came to the Hahnemann hospital to have his throat treated for what he believed to be inflammation, caused by a severe cold. Upon investigation the doctors found the disease to be much more serious than the patient had suspected, and that in order to save his life his tongue must be removed. It was swollen to twice its normal size, so that Mr. Bunting was unable to articulate plainly. After the operation the first words the patient spoke, "Is it all over?" were the plainest he had spoken since his trouble began, several years ago. Those in attendance were able to understand everything he said. Wrong Department A prominent physician tells this story at the expense of the modern craze for specialization in the medical profession. A poor woman went to a dispensary to ask for aid for her little son, who had had one of his fingers smashed. At the first room where she applied she was told by a curt attendant that the boy could not be treated there. "Wrong place," he explained, "this is the eye and ear department." "Vere is der thumb and finger department?" inquired the woman, simply,—Tit-Bits. Where the Sin Lay A rather plain lady asked the opinion of her minister: "Is it a sin to feel a trifle of vanity when I am called handsome by a gentleman?" "Not a sin for you, my child, but terrible responsibility hangs upon the gentleman."—Tit Bits. Not Too Fast. Mrs. Weeds—I suppose the law in this state gives the widow her third. Lawyer—Oh! yes; but you've got to get rid of your second nstr.—Chicago Journal. VEST HAD SOME DOUBTS. Thought the Legislature Might Repeal All the Smart Young Senator Cookrell tells the case of a young man who once appeared before the commission appointed in Missouri to examine applicants for admission to the bar of that state. It appears, says the New York Herald, that this youthful applicant, who had failed miserably in all that pertained to jurisprudence, civil law, case law, satuptyt law and due process of law, was sent to Missouri, where a senator from Missouri, whether there remained any questions which the young man would like to have put to him. "I regret to say," remarked Mr. Vest, "that you have failed to come up to the mark in the branches of law upon which we have examined you.

Mr. Spinks Was Anxious to Get In His Contribution on Time. Rev. Mr. Osborne, according to the Newark (N. J.)

"Surely, you're not going," said Mrs. Spinks. "Surely, I am," replied Mr. Spinks. "The pastor is booked for his annual missionary sermon and I wouldn't miss being there on time." But "it's storming dreadfully." "Let it storm." "And your guests—what will they think if you run away and leave them?" "Let them think what they please. I'm going to church." When you so interested in missions, said Mrs. Spinks. "Just between you and me," returned Mr. Spinks, "I don't care a hang for missions. But the annual collection for the heatheen will be taken to day, and if I put a five-dollar bill in the plate it'll be all right. But if I stay away, the pastor will drop into some day this week and pull my leg for ten." "Go, by all means," said his wife.

South Bend, Ind., Oct. 24 (Special)—After suffering from Kidney Disease for three years; after taking treatment from six different doctors without getting relief, Mr. J. O. Laudeman, of this place, found not only relief but a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure, Mr. Laudeman says: Yes, I suffered from Kidney Trouble for a year and tried six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they not only cured my kidneys, but gave me better health in general. Of course I recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to others and I know a number now who are using them with good results". Mr. Laudeman's case is not an exception. Thousands give similar experiences. For there never yet was a case of Kidney Trouble from Backache to Bright's Disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills could not cure. They are the only remedy that ever cured Bright's Disease.

P. Goodrich at a farmers’ meeting, There has never yet been a summer In Wii- consin where pasture alone would supply @ sufcient amount of such food all the time. If the pasture Is large in proportion to the number of cows, then the grass, during the rapid Srowing season In the fore part of the summer, grows much faster than the Cows can cat tt, This excess of grass soon ripens and dries up, becoming ins hutritions and unpalatable, so that cows will not eat it, Then when the heat and drought of midsummer and autumn comes fresh grass Krows 69 slowly that cows cannot get enough without working too hard for it, and to do well they must then be fed some- thing else, ‘This ix not an economical ‘way of doing, for there is a large Amount of good fee’ wanted, and one cannot afford’ that, espectally where land f a8 valuable as it is in most Parts of Wisconsin. A better way to do Is to have the himber of cows proportioned to the Pasture, so that they will keep the grass fairly well fed off during the most growing season, and supplement the pasture with a succession of green foraxe crops, It is not necessary that these supplementary crops should is fed perfectly green, making {t neces- sary to cut 1 each day as it ts fed In fact T think St Is even better that they be wilted or partially cured, a that enough can be cut at one tims and somewhat dried to last several days. If there should be more of these Supplementary crops than are needed to feed during the summer they can be cut when wt the right stage and made §to hay or cured. T have found that 1¢ Is a good way to feed some dry forage {n connection with succulent pasture grass or any her succulent food, For more thaa 25 yeara the cows on my farm have been fed every day during the tummer some nice early cnt hay, ust ally clover hay. Tt is put in thelr man- gers every time they are put hy the stable to be milked, and they always eat some with great relish, no matter how good the grasa may be tn the pasture, A ROLLER FOR THE GARDEN What Any Ingenious Farmer Can Do with an Otherwine Useless Barrel or Keg.
