The Trvzs takes pleasure this week in introducing to the public Joe Meyer, successor to Sam’! Levy & Co., in the clothing business. The change was made yesterday when Mr. Meyer became sole proprietor of the clothing department of the above firm. For ashort time Mr. Meyer has secured the room one door north of Deacon Bros. & Co., and will move his stock of goods to that while repairs are being made on the room occupied by the old firm. This being done he proposes to move back and open out one of the most complete stocks of cloth- ing tobe found in Bates county. Mr. Meyer has been with the firm of Sam’l Levy & Co, as head sales- man and business manager of their clothing department for the past 16 years. As athorough business man he has few equals and his long ex perience gives him advantages which few men possess. He has a large acquaintance in the county and his many friends will be glad to learn that he has engaged in business on his own account and will be glad to share their trade with him. The Times welcomes him to the businerg circles of this town and hopes to to see him prosper, which we are satisfied he will do. The dry goods department of Sam’! Levy & Co., will be conducted at the old stand as heretofore. Senator Vest is after the official scalp of Internal Revenue Collector Wennecker of St. Louis.

When he got up he felt untidy and appeal- jed to the foreman for advice. Iu a printing office benzine is used for cleaning everything exeept the office towel, aud the foreman promptly soaked the big black spot on the damaged trousers with the | inflammable liquid. While. the young man was stand ing around drying out it occurred to him to smoke, and the match found its usual place of ignition. There was a sharp suap and then a roar and the mounting flames envel- oped the young man’s form.

The epitaph on many a tombstone is “heart failure.” No wonder, when we con- sider the immense strain which is put on that smallorgan. Marvelous as it is, beating 100,000 times and exerting a force equal to 5,184,000 ponnds daily, it has its limit—its endurance often is too severely tested. So common are diseases of the heart—though often for a considerable time without the suspicions of the afflicted person being in the least excited—that it is stated that one person in four hasabad heart! Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., has for years made a special study of all diseases of the heart, and his remarkable success has made his , name a familiar one in all parts of our land. He has found the most common symptoms of heart disease to be pain, distress or tender- ness in the chest, back, stomach, bowels, left shoulder and arm, shortness of breath, smother- ing spells, fainting, ete. Mr. George 4 Smith, of Barnes, Yates Co, N. Y., writes:—“Dr. Mites’ New Heart Cure has worked wonderfully on mind and body 89 I can doa good day's work, J feel ten years younger and take more interest in affairs. 1 had shortness of breath, palpi- tation, pain under left shoulder blade, pain around the heart, I could not sleep on my right side. Since I have taken Dr. Mile’ Noe Heart Cure I sleep well, and hare no palputa- tion. It has made my heart stronger. I wish you would print this, because I want all to k or months my wife sutfered with palpi- lation, smothering spells, and was unable to jeep on her left side. She tried several ors without relief.
