Metivney, 452 8rd Ave., Brooklyn, N Y., writes: “For many months I suffered se- verely trom headaches and pains ia the side and back, sometimes being unable to attend to my daily work. ‘1am better, now, thanks to Peru- na, and am as active as ever and have 0 more headaches. “The way Peruna worked la my case was simply marveious."' We have in our files many grateful letters from women who have suffered with the symptoms named above. Lack of space prevents our giving more than one testimonial here, It is imposal ble to even approximate thegreat amount of suffering which Pe- runa has relieved, or the number of women who have been restored to healtn apd strength >y its gaithful use. The Pity of It. It seems a pity that ignominy should be brought upon 2,000 stu- dents of the University of Missouri, Tepresenting the best homes of the State by the doings of forty or fifty students, but this is exactly what has been done in the case of the con- filet attending the exhibition of Cole Brothers Show in Columbia. Accord- {ng to the best evidence obtainable not over fifty students were engaged in the unlawful acts that have brought discredit upon the 1950 law abiding ones. Most of those whoat- tended the circus left for home as soon as the performance was over and the few remaining were fired to unlawfal acts by an attack of negroe and hired thugs who used tentstakes indiscriminately upon students wherever found, regardless of what they were doing. An investigation is being made to discover those gullty and they will be dismissed from the University. In the meantime the public should withhold {ts judgment, and remember also that no place on earth can 2,000 persons be brought together without gathering in a few who are eager and willing to break the law under the cover of numbers. The writer of this article is aSenior in the Law Department of the Univ- eraity but he holds no brief for the lawless. They should and will be punished. Neither has he an ax to grind. After the first of June he will go out from the University to be- come a citizen of the State. These facts alone prompt his protest against the unwarranted attack up- on the fair name of 1950 law abiding students of the Missouri State Univ- ersity.

Teeter met with a painful acct- dent, Tuesday of last week, while holding a team of young horses which were hitched to a wagon load ot hay, a bunch of hay blew upon the animals and sofrightened them that they plunged against Mr. Teeter knocking him down, His son caught the lines and succeeded in keeping the horses off his father until help arrived. Dr. Miller was called and pronounced no bones broken although consider ably bruised. Sam Ford and his colored troupe from Butler played in Greer Hall every night lust week D.

Unless something ie done at this session of Congress, Senator Burton’s appli- cation for a rehearing will have been passed upon finally by the supreme court before action is taken by the upper house. Senator Bailey, who has been most insistent for action in the Burton matter has been out of the city ever since the supreme court handed down its decision, Those who know him aseert that he will not be content to let the session pass by without forcing action, and Senator Hale {s also of the opinion that some- thing ought to be done. It fs the impression of the senators that Burton will not go to jail. Just how this can be prevented, except through interference at the White House, is not clear, but the impres- sion appears to be very general. If Burton should tender his restgna- tion, there would be a united effort to prevent his jail service. It 1s an uncanny think for senators to con- tront the outlook of one of thelr num- ber behind the bars for an act com- mitted while he {s a senator, and the influences are being combined to pre- vent, {f possible, this condition. Bodies of Man and Girl By Roadside. Shawnee, Ok., May 28.—At an early hour a farmer who had started to this city discover lifeless bodies of a man and womah lying near each other in the road, about three miles south of town. Investigation by the officers developed that the bodies were thoee of Migs Ollle Johns, of this elty, and James Reed, a well-known business man of Tecumseh, a small town six miles south of here. A coroner’s jury was immediately impaneled and, after viewing the bodies and hearing the evidence, de- cided that the womsn had been mur- dered by Reed, who afterwards com- mitted suictde. Reed was a man altnost 50 years of age, while Miss Johns was but lit- tle past 18. I is sald that Reed has been paying attentions to the girl some time, and, although’ she some- times accepted his company for pub- le affairs, she is said to have re- peatedly refused his offers of mar- Tlage. The couple started out fora drive and some time durimg the night the murder was committed. Badly Bitten By Stallion. G. M. James, living about 15 miles southeast of Carthage, was severely bitten onthe arm by a Percheron stallion which he owns. When he went in to feed the animal as usual, the incident occurred. Mr. James was taken by surprise and was unable to save himself. T he stallion held on with @ death grip and shook his victim, threshing him agalost the manger and eldes of the stall. A son of Mr. James who was work- ing near the barn was attracted by his father’s criesand came to hie ald. When James got Joose he was able} 2 to get out of the stall but he fainted away immediately afterward. The injuries consisted of a lacer- aved arm and numerous braises.

His history of the state has long been the standard. Ot late years he has been engaged in writing the history of the state uni- versity, and {¢ will soon be pu bliah- ed. In 1885 he was appointed chief of the bureav of statistics by Presi- dent Cleveland, and distinguished himeelf in that position. One of she most remarkable things about him was his memory. He re- membered the exact date of every event ofauy importance in the his- tory of the state, and he would talk about the things of fifty years ayo as the ordinary man would about the events of last week. He was the intimate friend of Thomas H. Ben- ton, and he knew Joho C. Fremont and Frank P. Blair. In his own words: “There is nota well-known man who has lived in Missouri since 1841 that I did not know.” Col. Switzler had never smoked a cigarette or drunka glass of whiskey and to this be attributed his long life.

The bullet entered Mr. Cross’ face an inch or two under the eye and pene- trated the skull, ranging upward. He was not rendered unconscious by his wouud at the time and went to Drs. Delamater and Allen for treat- ment. .The bullet after a time was located and removed. Mr. Cross bled profusely, and it is difticult to foretell what complications may arise asa result of his wound, though the physicians think there is a good chance for his recovery.

Commoner, The St. Louis Globe- Democrat (Re- publfcan) says: “Mr. Bryan {fs not as much for the abandonment of Philippines as he was. Somebody will accuse him soon of stealing re- publican thunder.”’ Mr. Bryan has been sccured of many things, and {t was thought the mit had been reached. But the Globe-Democrat’s suggestion thats “somebody will accuse him. soon of stealing republican thunder”’ reminds us that “nothing {!s eo bad that {t can not be worse.” The Globe-Dem- ocrat should have acare. Paticuce sometimes ceases to be a virtue. To accuse a man of “stealing republican thunder’ is liable to force the mildest kind ofa man to vizorous form of retort. The Gaekwar at Mt. Vernon.

The condition in the potato mar- ket is explained by the statement that nearly all of the planters are raising cotton instead of potatoes because of the good price of cotton this year. The small supply of old potatoes practically is “cornered” by a few dealers.
