Barnhart ‘GOOD, HONEST, SQUARE-DEAL Medicines like those of Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, warrant their makers in printing their every ingre- | dient, which they do, upon their outside wrappers, verifying the correctness of the same under oath. This open publicity places these medicines in a clase all by themselves. Furthermore, it warrants physicians in prescribing them largely as they do in their worst cases. <j) Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery Is a most potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably ad in a curative way upon all the mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronch- jal tubes, stomach and bowels, curing a large per cent. of catarrhal cases whether the disease af» fects the nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach (as catarrhal dyspepsia), liver, bowels (as mucous diarrhea), or other organs. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Is advised for the cure of one class of diseases only—those peculiar weaknesses, derangements and irregularities pecul- iar to women. It is a powerful yet gently acting invigorating tonic and nervine. For weak, worn-out, over-worked women—no matter what has caused the break-down, “Favorite Prescription” will be found most effective in building up the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. ingredient entering into these medicines, A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving the formule of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med- ical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in prescribing, say of each Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non-secret, and contain no harmful habit-forming drugs, being composed of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American, medicinal, forest plants. They are both sold by dealers in medicine. You can’t afford to accept as a substitute for one of these medicines of known composition, any secret nosirum. Don’t do it. =S Two Plain Missourians.

L, January.—Mlss Emma Dodge, the plucky daughter of the auditor of the Glen Lyon dye works at Phillipsade, battled two Ivalian highwaymen in East Provi- dence, who were after the $500 pay roll, of which Yardmaster Charles E Randall was guardian. Randall and the girl were driving towards the works on 4 well-travel- ed highway when the desperadoes, armed with shotguns, demanded the money. One of the men fired, some of the shot entering Randall’s neck and lower Ip as he fell back from in- to the sleigh. Miss Dodge seized the reins, whip- ped the horse and outdistanced the highwaymen. Old People: This prescription forces she clog: wed up. {nactive kidneys to tilser and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid, which causes Rheumatism. As Rheumatism fs not only the most painful and torturous disease, but dangerous to life, this simple re- eipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here at home, who should at once prepare the mixture to get this relief. It is sald that a person who would take this prescription regularly, a dose ortwo dally, or even a few times a week, would never have sert- ous Kidney or Urinary disorders or Rheumatism.

Maryville, Mo., Jan.—Ross Carson was shot and mortally wounded at Burlington Junction, fifteen miles west of Maryville, while attempting to burglarize the department store of OB. Zsrn. : Charles Reavis, & clerk, who sleeps in the store, was awakened at 2 o'clock by someone attempting to break into the store. He dressed and ran to the residence of U. B. Zarn, the proprietor, who, arming himself with a shotgun, entered the store and concealed himself behind & box. Hearing a noise, he opened fire, and as the man ran across the store he fired four more shots, one of them passing through the intruder’s lungs. The shots aroused the neighbors, whosurrounded the building. When daylight came, the wounded man was brought to Maryville and placed in the jail hospital. He cannot live. John Dix was arrested as an ac complice, having been seen with Car- son the day before and being found in a coal shed near the Zarn store. Crawls 4 Miles on Wager.
