Brutal Murder. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 21.—News was received to vody out rage at Moscow, Mi ttle town forty miles from Memphis. Some Lewis. a desperate time ago Dick white man, was fined S10 by Gus Steger, the mayor, for an unprovok- ed assault upon an inoffensive ne- gro. He vowed vengeance on Steger and kept his word. Last Dick Lewis and brother Jim, accom- panied by Jim Young, Dick Law- rence and Jim Baldwin, rode into the town and wrecked asaloon, after forcing the barkeeper to give them all the whiskey they wanted. May- or Steger, who also acts as town marshal, heard of the row and went down to quiet it. When he came up to the rioters they greeted him in a friendly manner so that he was thrown off his guard. They then surrounded him and by a quick movement Dick Lewis sprang upon him and pinioned his arms. As soon as Steger was thus made helpless Jim Young deliberately drew a pis- tol and shot him in the face. Steger fell and three more bullets were fired into his body by other members of the party. They mounted their horses and fled and at last accounts had not been captured. Steger's wounds are mortal. Friday English and American Advertisers. “It is a mistake,” said a well known advertising agent to me re- cently, “but a common one, to sup- pose that Americans spend more in advertising than do the business men of other nations. I think Americans spend more wisely and get more dis- play for their money, but the actual gums expended” by English adver- tisers exceed those expended by Americans. One English firm alone spent last year at least $500,000 in advertising one commodity. Two hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars of this money was disbursed in England and one hundred and fifty thousand of it in this country, the balance elsewhere. They got more display out of the $150,000 spent here than out of the $275,000 Bpent in England. No American firm can equal this record of expen- diture, which is not a solitary instance, but will be repeated by the same firm this year and may be for years to come.”—Epoch. Her Fault. If she is made miserable by day and sleepless at night, by nervous headache, pains in the back, easily grieved, vexed or made tired, or is suffering from any of those wasting functional disorders peculiar to wo- men, such as prolapsus, ulceration, leucorrhea, morning sickness, or weakness of the stomach, etc, a brieffself-treatment with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will convince her of the folly of inducing misery that can be so easily, pleasantly and radically cured. Druggists. Blaine is a leader, but is he a safe one? In his speech at Portland he made a bad break in defending the “trusts.” He said “they are largely private affairs with which neither President Cleveland nor any private citizen has any right to interfere.” The republican party has not author- ized Mr. Blaine to offer this sort of an apology for monopolies. The platform adopted at Chicago says: We declare our opposition to all combinations of capital organized in trusts, or otherwise to control arbi- trarily the condition of trade among our citizens, and we commend to congress and the state legislatures, in their respective jurisdictions, such legislation as will prevent the execu- tion of all schemes to oppose the people by undue charges on their supplies or by unjust rates for the transportation of their products to market. From this declaration; it will be seen that Mr. Blaine is not preaching orthodox republican doctrine. He is also at variance with the party on its free whisky plank. It may be that the republicans are following the wrong leader, going too much after Blaine and too little after Harrison. Harrison so far seems the more reliable leader. He has iavolved himself in no way contra- diction to his party. Little. “But Enough,” as Mercutio said of his wound.

Bad for the Women Suffragists. Olympia, W.Ty., Aug. 16.—The supreme court of Washington ter- ritory has decided the law granting suffrage to women unconstitutional on the grounds that the legislature exceeded its powers granted by con- gress, the word “Citizen” in the or- ganic act meaning nothing else than male citizen. The opinion contain- ed 7,000 words, an appeal will be taken to the supreme court of the United States. This is the second law passed by the territorial legis- lature and the second time the law has beenfdeclared unconstitutional. Two years ago an election was held and women cast votes in all the coun- ties. The territory is the strong- hold of prohibition and women suf- fragejadvocates, and they will fight this case to the court of last resort. Champion Mean Man.

All that the physicians done for me brought no permanent relief. Friends insisted that I should give S. S. S. a fair trial, although I thought it would be throwing away money.
