FOLK’S BURCHARD? Says Opposition to Folk Relies on Thievery, Thuggery and Trickery. The following letter was sent out to some Democratic editors suppos- ed to be friendly to Mr. Folk by Mr. McLeod, representative of the St. Louis business men’s committee fa- voring Mr. Folk fur Governor: St. Louis, Sept. 28, 1903, Dear Sir:— Although it is conceded that 90 per cent of the Democratic voters of Missouri are for Joseph Folk for Governor, certain unscrupulous polit- ical manipulators Joudly boast that they will be able to defeat Folk by thievery, thuggery and trickery in the large cities of the state. If the honest yeomanry of Missouri are active, however, all the powers ofevil cannot prevail. Mr. Folk is a Democrat who sup- ported the Chicago and Kansas City platforms, and believes in the princi- ples therein enunciated. Because his official record is admired and ap- proved by all good citizens, regard- less of party, we hear it said thatthe Democrats do not want a man who has friends in the opposition party. Heretofore the man who could poll the most votes from the opposition was considered the strongest candi- date. Senator Cockrell, forinstance, is strong with the voters of both partier; he always gets a heavy Re- publican vote. This is his strength, not his weakness. Yet some might claim that the Democrats do not want a man who is popular with all classes. The question now is, can the Demo- «ratie party afford to let the bood- lers select the Democratic ticket? Honest Democrats have a right to be suspicious of a man like Mr. Reed, whois popular with boodlers. Mr. Folk is the hated enemy of the bood- lers. His nomination would be the most bitter dose that could be given to the boodlers of Missouri. The crowd opposing Mr. Folk are dominated largely by boodle influ- ences. They are not good Demo- crats, for they would prefer to have theatate go Republican than to have Folk elected governor. If they can- not control the party they will try to wreck it. The bitterness of their opposition, and the conspicuous dis- iregard of truth they display in their , oppositionshows this. Look around you in your own county, and see the class of fellows opposing Mr. Folk, and draw your own conclusion. Mr. Folk can poll 100,000 more votesthanany other man who would benominated. With him atthehead of the Democratic ticket all the close counties would go Democratic.

Clinton Democrat, Oct, 1, Sam Penland had a most excruci- ating experience on Thursday after- noon. He was engaged in chopping. wood! out in the timber cluse to Grand river, southwest of Clinton. He climbed up in & tree some fifteen feet to chop off a large limb, and when it was partly chopped off, it fell ineuch a way as to pinion his leg to the trunk crushing it from a point above the knee to several inches below. Finding he could not work himeelf lose, Penland shrieked for help. It was @ lonely spot but after over an hour, he attracted some negroes across Grand river. To reach him they had to go up to the bridge, and after they finally reached the tree where he hung helplese and nearly dead from pain, they could devise no way to free him. They went back to the road and hailed a white man passing by, who first tied Penland to the tree with a rope and then cut off the partly severed branch. Penland was then lowered after hanging in the tree three hours. Canton, Mo., Man a Suicide. Canton, Mo., October 5.—Jacob Keiss, a well-known sawmill mr of this place, committed suicide at his home here this morning by taking carbolic acid. He was 65 years of age and leaves a family.

The growing child must eat the right food for growth. Bones must have bone food, blood must have blood food and so on through the list. Scott's Emulsion is the right treatment for soft bones in children. Littledoses every day give the stiffness and shape that healthy bones should have. Bow legs become straighter, loose joints grow stronger and firmness comes to the soft heads. Wrong food caused the trouble.
