with Only One Leg. Che Butle VOL. XXVII. BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1905. His ficatth Was Wrecked, Pe-ru-na Gave New Life. HON. JOHN TIGHE. Assemblymen Tighe's letter should be read by every brain worker leading @ strenuous life. Hon, John Tirhe, No, #8 Remsen St., Cohoes, N. Y., Member of Assembly from the Fourth district, Albanycounty, NW. Y., writes as follows: “Peruna has my hearty indorsement a8 a restorative tonic of superior merit, At times when I have been completely broken down from excess of work, 80 that my faculties seemed actually ata standstill, Peruna has acted asa healing restorer, starting the machinery of mind and body afresh with new life and energy. “TI recommend it to a man tired in mind and body as a tonic superior to anything I know of and well worthy serious consideration,”—J, Tighe, Excess of work so common in our country causes impaired nerves, leading tocatarrh and catarrhal nervousness— adisease that is responsible for half of all nervous troubles, Peruna cures this trouble because it cures catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The tiartman Sanitariuin, Columbus, O. Will Ask Bond Issue. Washington, Oct. 17.—When the Prostdent sends his annual message to Congress one of ite moat important recommeucations, it iseald, will be the reesmmendation In the message that the Secretary of the Trensury be euthorized to issue bonds to the amonnt of $60,000,000 covering the expenditures already made. This would have the effect of covering the expenditures already made on ac count of the canal into the national debt, and leave the big billin part for posterity to pay. Tue rights of the French cnn! company cost thie country $40.000,000, the rights of the Republic of Panama coat $18,- 000,000, and another $10.000,000 has been spent by the Canal Com- mission during the last year, making $60,000,000 is: all. All of this am cnt bas com> ont cf the Treasury current funds from ordinary revenues. [ft is thought bat right and just thet a bond issue should be made covering this sum, ao that it can be returned to the Treasury’s geveral fund. In this way when the canal is completed, and is paying big revenue through tolls collected from passing ships and It is @ revenue producer instead of a national expense, the bonds can be pald off. This proposition has nothing ‘ do with the canal bond iseues whic are already authorized by law.

The President's Tribute to a California Banker and His Eight Children. Washington, Oct. 15,.—The Presi- dent paid a sensational tribute to his doctrine of anti-race suicide {fn his reception to the bankers. A tall and stately man, closely followed by his wife and eight children, graded in height like stairs, approached the President. The man gave bis name as P. B. Oliver, and San Francisco as his home. “And this is Mra. Oliver, and these are my eight children,” said Mr. Oliver, with a graceful sweep of his arm toward the little group. “Your eight children,” exclaimed Mr. Roosevelt, “and you a banker.” Alook of extreme delight passed over the President’s face. He ad. vanced a step and raised his left hand, the right all the while warmly ehaking that of the father of the eight. “I propose three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Oliver,” erled the Prest- dent, and bimeelf led im the three buzzas that followed. The scene was an amusing one and caused no little commotion through- out the White house, which at that moment, as during all the forenoon, was thronged. Mr. Oliver waseome what confused by the President’s un- conventional greefing, but when he realized the compliment that was in- tended he took it in good part. Mr. Oliverisa rich and well-known citizen of San Francisco. Which Is the Greater Crime? Joplin Globe. Now which ie the more ugly crime, and which merits the greater puntsh- ment—the theft of a hundred thou- sand dollars from an express com- pany by that Pittsburg clerk, or the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the people by the presi- dents of the insurance companies and their sons, grandsons, soue-in-law, and so forth? Th» dispatches relate the efforts making by the police au thorities to hunt down young Cun- life, but the personal comfort of the insurance robbers is not yet threat- ened. If the lawcan put Cunliffe be- hind the bars for stealing a hundred thousand dollars, what right have Hyde, McCall, Perkins, McCurdy to enjoy God’s sunlight and the devil’s luxuries? The lay mind may not grasp the technicalities of the law, but, assuredly, 1t does comprehend the inequalities of the law’s discrim- ination. Such discrimination issow- ing the wind the harvest whereof shall be the whirlwind. Sickening Shivering Fite of ague and malaria, can be relieved ani cured with Electric Bitters.

Miller, of the University of Ber- Nin, sent shivers down the backs of {the students at Wesleyan when he announced in a lecture that the bite of a girl would often bring a quicker aod more borrible death than the bite of a serpent. Prof. Miller, whe hae made a spe- cial study of the bacteria of the mouth, said that only a short time ago he experimeated on a girl in Ger- many and found that an arrow dip- ped in saliva from her month would send ite victim in death throes more terrible than one dipped in the venom of the most deadly snake. Prof. Miller said that there was a lesson in this for dentists. CASBSTORIA. earn ti: Tha Kind You Have Always Bought 1 When Kuropatkin Was Shot | From the New York Times. “Cleveland ia a Harem.” St. Paul, Mion., Oct. 16 —*Where mei | rover C.eve | ind use leisure At this time of the (at least techni-| time they have from fishing trips to cal) disgrace of General Kuropatkin it falls distinctly apropos to hear of that brave and able gentleman's be- haviorduring another war than that which has but just come to an end in the Far East—during the war be- tween Russia and Turkey in the late ‘70a, when Kuropatkin served with marked distinction under the re Joubtable Skobeleff. Through all of 1877 the younger man displayed most admirable fighting qualities. His tirelessness and ability had gain- ed for him the highest encomiums of hiafamoussuperior. Then, on Christ mas day, came the chance shot which laid Kuropatkin by for a time, inci- dentally showing in a new light the splendid physical bravery of the man, Skobeleff had taken his stand ona rock to survey the valley which stretched away from the Lysso! hill, when @ ball from a Turkish ebarp- shooter, hidden among the brush be- low, plerced Kuropatkin’s shoulder andcollar bone. As usual, he wasat the side of his commander, The loss to the latter seemed irremediable, while the grief of the file troops, when the ill news ran among them, was 80 keen and real that some actually shed teare as this {idolized leader was laid on a etretcher and borne away. But the rugged steepness of the rocky hilleide was too much for the bearers. One of them slipped, and the wounded man was rudely jerked out upon the ground. “I'll go on foot! It’s impossible to be carried!” he muttered, his face convulsed with pain. An orderly took him by the arm and started to lead him up the slope, when he, too, slipped and went down, the officer falling on him Then arope was tied about Kuropat- kin’s waist, the ends being passed over the shoulders of a brawny Cos- sack, while two soldiers, one on each side, supported the general—whose military career was thus ended fora time. 2 Dollars Rather Than Bushels. Farmers’ Advocate. The ultimate aim of the farmer is not bushels of corn or pounds of beef or pork, but dollars. He is farming not for the fun of it, but for sordid cash, for the wherewithal to feed, clothe and educate his children, and to lay by a surplus for sickness and old age, to be turned over to his sur- viving children when he and his good wife have gone to the other world. He can use a few hundred pounds of grain or meat per annum. The rest is of no use to him whatever, unless he can convert it into dollars with which he can buy what he neede in the markets of the world. There are therefore two sides to farming—the one the production of bushels or pounds and the other to convert them to the best advantage into dollars. The first aim of ali agricul- tural teaching is toincrease the num- ber of bushels or pounds. If you don’t have bushels or pounds to sell you cannot get dollars. A scarcely loss important aim in agricultural teaching is to help the farmer to get the mo:t dollars for his bushels or pounds. Germany has devised a plan to hold down the fee-grasping lawyer The law there, saya the Springfield Loader; holds a lawyer responsible for evil results courequent upon ill- alvice tendered a client. The eu- preme court of Germany rendered a decision that an attorney is liable to the full extent for careless advice, The court decides that the lawyer who for pay gives his client in legal matters advice that is radically faulty or advice rendered carelessly muet recompense the client for any losses sustained throvgh his follow- ing euch ill founded or careless coun- sel, The attorney assumes the posi. tion ofdebtor to his client. That relation obligesbim to beexceedingly carefal in giving advice, and ho is, therefore, liable for consequences from his own carelesenees, lack of information or deliberate migstatement. 2 Sin i A A ER Nt Ned ie Ee cn a A wail over women who go from the ‘divinely appointed sphere’ of home and ‘do man’s work’ in the world, and ‘feel such pain’ when thinking of her consequent ‘loss of refinement and womanly devotion,’ it shows vast ignorance of some vital facts of life. Tt would seem Cleveland's place, judging from his article in an Octo- ber periodical, was in an Oriental harem.
