His many friends in this county will be glad to learn that he is prosperous in business and he and his family are enjoying the very best of health. He speaks of having attended the state democratic convention in April and of participating in the love feast that followed. He gave a glowing dis- cription of the excursion to see, what he is pleased to term, “The greatest piece of engineering in the United States, the jetty at the Columbia river bar.” The Tres hopes to see Mr. Mudd return to Bates county after making his fortune in the far west. | eee one eee | Others Failed Hood’s Cured. “I was troubled with my back for the last two or three years.

Everybody come to Butler on the fourth. Our good friend Peter Lane is taking a few days lay off on account of a little sick spell. He informs us that his lead mine at Joplin is pan- ning out beyond his expectations, and that his weekly receipts over and above expenses are very satisfac- tory. Mr. Lane has done a great deal in a business way for this com- munity and we know what we are talking about when we say that his friends here would be delighted to see him strike it rich at Joplin, for all know that he has no use for idle money and his gain would mean Butler's prosperity.

Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: “Gentlemen: It gives me pleasure to certify to the efficacy of Hood's Sarsaparilla in the casa of my father, who has suffered for years with Heart Disease and Catarrh in the head. The former grew worse every day, and especially at night time. When he would lie down a curious feeling would rise around his heart and his pulse would stop beat- ing for seconds. He could breathe well, but all the air he could inhale did not seem to relieve him. He would have to get up out of bed and stir round until it wore off. We became alarmed, and our friends said he would not live a year. The family physician prescribed several reme- dies, but alltono avail Finally a physician ad- vised him to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. He did so, and before he had taken one bottle realized that it washelping him. He has taken over four bottles now, and is not bothered any more with heart spells. He can sleep sound as a baby. He does not bave any more trouble with the catarrh, and is Himself Once More. He is 53 years old, and can do as much work ts 2 day as any man of his age, since using Hood’: Sarsaparilia.
