EDITORIAL NOTES. f
The Jackson Herald editor is using
his little knife on E.'V. Flentge.
Missouri will enter tbe ranks of the
great Bepublican States in November.
Don't bet your money on Democrat
ic majorities this year. If you do
jou will surely lose your wad.
The Democrat who imagines he is
joing to bumboozle the voter this
year is carrying- scrambled brains in
his head.
Pekin has been looted to a small
extent, but the school fund of Mis
souri has been completely looted by
the Democrats in power.
In former years the schools of this
State cut off coupons from outside se
curities. Every dollar the schools get
now is raised by taxation.
There is some political trickery go
ing on in this county, but we have so
far been unable to get the particulars.
One thing we have discovered however
And that thing is a Republican Judas
in Jackson.
Democratic officials in this State
have had at least two methods of
squandering the public school and
seminary cash endowment and replac
ing it with mere certificates of debt
that have no constitutional standing.
A Spanish immigrant from Gibral
tar who arrived at New York last
week bore such a strong resemblance
to Abrahrm Lincoln that the inspect
or, an old soldier who had seen the
war President, obtainod a photograph
of - the tall Spaniard.
'Forty-nine sailors on the cruiser
Baltimore were given shore leave the
other day in New York and deposited
433,000 at the naval branch of the
Young Men's Christian Association.
An old salt who stood by shook his
.head and said, "It's criminal."
"County candidates are attending the
Tair in force and each one using every
endeavor to see who can carry the
broadest smile and shake the most
hands. That's right, boys, "Faint
heart never won fair lady and fickle
.fortune requires absolute idolatry."
A civil engineer id Hobokec has
built a two-horse bed room on wheels,
with a tarpaulin extension for a kitch
en, and proposes to drive to Mexico
by easy stages. On the wagon is
painted the motto. "As we journey
through life let us linger on the way."
Joe Flory, the choice of the laborer
.and the workingmen, is making that
fellow Dockery hard to catch, a fact
which the Democrats are now aware
of and which is making many of them
"tremble in their shoes at the possibility
of the exposurers which will follow
his election.
Is Iherro anywhere else in the world,
vr has there ever been, such a system
atic loot of a school fund as there has
been in Missouri during the past few
.years? Well, we guess not. The
Democrats now in power deserve the
jake, in fact the whole bakery, for they
have taken everything in sight.
Let everv Missourian look upon
3hese two pictures: In the years 1869
tnd 1870 State Auditor Dan M. Dra
tier reDorted that the school fund of
.Missouri consisted of $1,050,100 in 6
jer cent United States bonds, $20,000
in 6 per cent Missouri bonds, and
$4886.78 in cash, making a total in
vill-edtred assets of $1,674,986.78. The
.annual income was $100,206. The sem-
inarv fund at tbe same time amounted
to $108,700 in 6 per cent United States
bonds, the income from which was
46522. The annual interest received
by the schools from these choice in
vestments was $105,728. Now mark
lhe change. The United States bonds
-were converted into cash by Demo
jratic administrations and the money
-was spent as general revenue. How
mch lo the schools get now from out
side investments? Not one cent They
have neither fund nor investment. All
that the State holds in the name of the
scnools is State certificates of indebt
edness on which the interest is paid by
an annual tax levy. In place of re
viving $106,728 interest from the out
side, as in 1869, the tax-payers of
.Missouri must .go into their pockets
or the $250,000 a year required by the
achool debt Globe-tDemocat
It has been figured up that the twen
tieth century will have twenty-four
leap years, the greatest number possi
ble. February will have five Sundays
three times 1920. 1949 and 19T6. The
earliest possible date on which Easter
can occur is March 12. The last time
it occurred on that date was 1818. The
latest date is April 22. It will occur
but one time in the coming century on
that date 1943. The middle day of
the century will be January 1, 1951.
There will be 380 eclipses during the
coming century.
The candidate who resorts to dirty
work in his canvas, be he Republican
or Democrat, deserves to be turned
down by the voters.
Missouri is the first State to deprive
children of their school fund and
spend it for clerk hire.

Where Brides Howl.
A Japanese wedding is a melan
choly affair.
It is not considered good form for
the bride over there to admit that she
is glad to get married.
When she is told of the prospect she
is expected to howl loudly and long.
Also she must keep it up by day and
by night, until the ceremony takes
place.
After she bas been richly dressed
for the event, she must renew her
shrieks and she must hang back until
one of the attendants throws a veil
over her face.
Then an old hag takes her on her
back and carries her to a sedan chair.
When she arrives at the bride
groom's house she is his wife, the sim
ple ride in the flowery chair being the
only ceremony required, though pro
fuse entertainment and congratula
tions from assembled guests follow her
arrival.
Sake, a national beveage, is drank,
and in the room there are placed some
dwarf trees symbolical of the woman's
beauty, and a tortois signifying lon
longevity. The DruK Trade.
So many changes in the last few
years in the drug trade have caused
the druggist of to-day to keep a close
watch upon his prescription case as
.well as his general stock of drugs.
New formulas, new processes of com
pounding with new pharmaceutical',
chemicals and elixirs keep the up-to-
date druggist in a constant state of
watchfulness that he may be prepared
and qualified as a good prescription
druggist.
We are good prescription druggists,
constantly adding new chemicals and
pharmaceuticals to our line so that
prescriptions brought to us may be
accurately filled "with just what the
doctor ordered."
We also carry the most complete
line of toilet articles, perfumes, drug
gists' sundries and all that makes a
drug store fully up to date.
We have just secured the agency for
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is
guaranteed to cure Constipation, In
digestion, Sick Headache and Stomach
Troubles.
Remember our motto, "No old
stock, no substitution. " You always
get what you ask for when you come
to our store.
Yours for business,

son, Druggists.
An enthusiastic temperance man in
Nashville recently went the rounds of
the saloons of that city, and putting
his head in at the doors quoted, in
sepulchral tones, some text from
Scripture, such as "Woe unto him
who puteth the bottle to his neigh
bor's mouth and maketh him drunken
also," "Look not upon the wine
when it is red." The drinkers, as a
rule, were greatly disconcerted, but
there was one exception, where he
said, "Strong drink is raging."
The irreverent boozer promptly
replied, "Let her rage," and emptied
his glass.

OPENING OF THE FAIR.
A Large Crowd Was in At
tendance for the First Day.
Displays in Abundance Num
erous Attractions and
Everything that goes
to Make It a
Success.
The first day of the fair has come
and gone, but it leaves behind traces
of the most successful first day in the
history of our fairs.
Never before were the displays so
numerous, the decorations so elabrrate
as this. year. The grounds are a
beauty, while the buildings are as
bright as a new made dollar,
which wins tbe admiration
visitors.
all of
of the
Strolling around the stalls we find
them all filled with the finest breed of
cattle, hogs and sheep, while race
horses are there in galore.
Then on entering the spacious build
ing of the Art Hall we find everything
imaginable that is pleasing to the eye.
the products of the farm, the manu
facturer, the merchants, are all
represented here, while the dainty and
artistic work of the fair sex stands
forth in all its beauty. To the center
of the building we turn our admiring
gaze upon natures flowers which are
there in abundance, sparkling in all
their brilliancy and filling the spaci
ous building with sweet fragrance.
This display which is the center of
attraction is due to the Mesdames
Albert, Pott and Schivelbine.
Just to the right to the main en
trance the Union Milling Co. has a
display that is worthy of mention. A
fortification composed of twenty-five
pound sacks of flour, with mounted
cannons, overlooks a little bar in
which peacefully lie the ironclads of
our navy. Setting high in the d'stant
is a miniture of tbe Union Mills from
the tops of which the stars and stripes
kiss the breeze as it is gently wafted
to and fro
The next display that attracted our
attention was that of Mr D. A. Glenn
which occupies a prominent position
on the west side. It might be rightly
termed "all the comforts of a home,"
for it truly pictures to the observer a
comfortable little bedroom and parlor,
neat and artistically arranged.
I. Ben Miller is represented in the
southeast corner of the building by a
very pretty display of toilet articles
and holiday goods.
Wo. Sailer & Co. " are represented
by a nice display of harness and
saddles in the northwest corner, while
just opposite is a nice selection of
tinware, stoves and ranges by W. II.
Vogel.
Among others who have prominent
displays are Al. Chenue, Cape
Brewery & Ice Co., Cape City Mills,
St Avit & Sons, Bahn Bros., E. C.
Woody, John F. Vogelsanger, Geo.
Cross, Thos. E. Clark and M. E. Lem
ing who is represented by a unique
display of hardwood lumber.
The free attractions which took
place at 2:30 o'clock opened with the
Irvings in a very clever aerial act
which was followed by the Martells in
a knock-about clown turn.
As McCarty & Reina failed to put
in an appearance, Mr. L. S. Joseph,
manager of the SDecial attraction,
seenred the services of the Irvings for
a baloon ascension each day during
the balance o' the week.
Wednesday being children's day the
I little folks were there enraass and as
a consequence the stands did a very
good business.
To First Voters.
You are young men casting your
first ballot. We congratulat3 you.
We also call your attention to Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for Con
stipation, Indigestion, Sick Headache
and Stomach Trouble. At J. Maple

When a man says there are no
trusts in this country he clearly show
that he has never run a country news
paper. It is all trust and take pay
in potatoes and cord wood.
The Empress Dowager has just
moved the capital of China over into
another country. The Emperor is
understood to have accompanied her.
He probably went in a box.
One of the largest churches in Ev
anston, Ind., has just paid off its
debt, and will celebrate the event with
a supper during the coming week. It
is not expected that Mr. Bryan will
telegraph any congratulations.
I only wish and wish that I could
fish and fish; I'd like to sit the live
long day upon a bale of prairie hay,
down where the river sandy wails,
and fish for whales. Tis shameful
that on this free soil a man must toil
and toil and toil; and sweat and strive
and groan, and burst his martingale
and moan, grow old and bald before
his time, in following the destive
dime. Ah, life would be a pleasant
dream if one could sit beside the
stream with rod in hand, at early
dawn, no comrade but a demijohn,
(the latter filled with lemonade) to
sit there in the drowsy shade what
higher bliss could laortal wish? Ah,
let us go and fish and fish.
"We notice that Prof. John S. Me-
Ghee is making Republicon speeches,
and by some he is claimed to be one
of the latest converts to Republican
ism. Out here where the Professor
has a host of kin-folks it is generally
known that be did not support Bryan
in 1896. His brother Jim can account
for John's flop, and that is on the
theory that he never knew much.
When they were boys, Jim relates,
their father run a blacksmith shop,
and decided to teach both Jim and
John the trade and let Flem do chores
around the bouse. The boys had not
worked long till John drew his bar
low and cut a hole in the bellows to
find where the wind came from. He
was expelled from tbe shop and Jim
and Flem learned the trade, and John
has been troubled with the croping
ont of mentbl weakness ever since."
Wayne County Journal.
We have consulted tbe Professor in
regard to the above and he says that
while he does not remember tbe in
cident mentioned, he presumes that it
is true, but it must have taken place
very early in his life. One thing cer
tain is that he found out early in life
where the wind came from but that
Jim did not find out till he bad voted
for Bryan in 1896.
