Manager. , Mayor Holtzman has developed into a campaign orator, he having just returned from a short speaking tour in Ohio. No new candidate for congressional honors is announeixl today, all of which tends to make the market 'slightly dull and inactive. Mr. Falk, who has had so many St. Louis boodlers on the rack, has announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination of governor of Missouri. It is time the Commercial Club committee who have in charge the effort to get a reduction in freight rates on coal, were getting busy. It is the time of year when such a .reduction would be of value. Now comes another announcement which states that probably, Hon. U. B. Hunt will after all lx' a candidate for governor. It is mighty hard after having the tick ling of official honor to let go. Mr Hunt would be alright, and ought to get into the swim and show the boys how to turn a few pblitical tricks. __________ If the anti-Cromerites are sincere and honest about desiring to send j such a delegation to the next republican congressional convention, they will make hay while the sun shines . They may rest assured that those who are looking after the welfare of Mr. (’romer, will spare no quarter ( in his behalf, one or a dozen horn.' candidates to the contrary notwithstanding. If they desire to succeed they must control the county organization absolute. Failure in this means success in Adams conn ty for Congressman Cromer.

I’ve got to be a fearful menace to society, so there's nothing left for me to do but go away and be a hermit for the rest of my life. The Chorus—Why? The Colonel—Because I've lived here so long I know everybody's family history. The Chorus-What of that? The Colonel—And. confound ft. I’ve got Into the habit of thinking aloud.— New York Times. St. Dnn.ioa and the Devil. One of tin- most famous smiths of Hie We.dd was St. Dnnstan. archbishop of < .interlmry. Mayfield, in Sussex, is the site of an ancient are hi episcopal palace, and here, according to some, took place the terrific encounter between St. Dunstan and the devil. At any rate, the anvil, hammer and tongs which arc alleged to have belonged to the saint nre still preserved at Mayfield palace.—Gentleman's Magazine.

Amusements. The Darkest Hour," one of Lin- ■ coin .1. Carter's late melodramas J which scored such a decided hit on its first appearance out last season 'will be seen at tho Bosse opera house on Monday Nov. 3. Tho > play tells the story of a young widow who is the intended victim of ' j her deceased husband’s brother. . He seeks to secure her immense wealth, and to accomplish his ends employs foul means. But with the assistance and protection of kind friends she finally triumphs, ' while the brother-in-law is reduced ' to beggary. There are two very • j pretty scenes in the production, one of them in the third act, when a train is seen disappearing from the stage center to the far distance and over the trestle, which, just after the coaches pass over, is blown up by an accomplice of the villian, with a view of killing the woman who spurns him. The other hit is at the finale, when the setting sun is seen sinking below the horizon. Several neat specialties find their way between the more serious part of the action and are cleverly performed in taking way. COL. COPELAND COMING. The large posters are being placed for Col. Conpeland lecture which occurs next Monday evening. All who want “See The Elephant" will be on hand. The tickets are being i delivered out and reserved seats will be drawn Monday. OLD AND NEW WAY. Hyomei the Latest Scientific Discovery for the Cure of Catarrh. Tho discovery of Hoymei has wrought a wonderful change in the treatment of catarrh. Prior to three years ago the medicines ordinarilyemployed in the cure of this disease were nauseating drugs and worthless tonics. In some instances they benefitted, but the mprovement was not lasting. With Hyomei you take into the air pa-sages of the throat and head a balsamic air that goes to the min- i utest cells, effectually killing all I germs and microbes of catarrh. It | enters the blood with oxygen, killing j the germs in the blood, and restores health to the whole system. Many astonishing testimonials have Ixin received from those who have been cured by Hyomei. A complete outfit costs but |I.OO and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment. Perhaps the strongest evidence that can be given to doubters, is the fact that The Holthouse Drug Co. ■ have so much faith in Hyomei that they sell every package under a positive guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. Now is the time to begin the use of Hyomei. Wanted At G. Borling's packing house 25 ladies at once to dress and prepare poultry for shipment.

KNOCKOUT BLOWS. There Are Many V ulnerable Point* In Man'a Anatomy. Au impression prevails that there is only one blow Iha l <m the point of the jaw—which really constitutes the knockout blow, says a writer in the British I Medical Journal. This is an error. The ' temple is a very vulnerable part of the : head, the lesion usually produced being laceration of the brain substance, with hemorrhage. A blow on the ear may cause rupture in the membrana i tympanl and collapse. Dangerous I points are over the carotid and on the larynx, the danger lying in the concussion conveyed through tile large nerve trunks which run down the neck. A blow on the larynx with the bare fist j may cause Instant death, as may one on the chest well over the heart. Diaphragmatic blows are not so dan- ■ gerons to life, the shock being temporary. Brisk rubbing and the use of stimulants is the most satisfactory mode of treatment. Blows over the kidneys may cause rupture and hemorrhage, with intense pain and shock. The most dangerous and infinitely painful form I of knockout blow is that on the “mark,” an area of the abdominal wall corresponding to the center of a triangle formed by the xiphosternal articulation above and a line joining the bony ends of the seventh ribs below. Behind this lies the pyloric end of the stomach. A blow here constitutes the "solar plex us" blow, but in realjty it is the stomach which receives and transmits the shock. Aristocracy of Wealth Not Probable, i M hatever the tendencies of wealthy Americans of the present day. it is extremely improbable that an aristocracy of wealth should ever come into being. It has Ik'ou soen that an aristocracy depends chiefly upon two conditions—the continued possession and exercise of power and the consequent unity of j kirns and ideals. The aristocratic body iti England, for | instance, is self conscious; its members are united by 1 mutual understanding. They acknowledge certain well recognized laws of life and manners. They ; depend upon each other to uphold these laws. Individually, wealthy Americans may be both self conscious and self assertive, but collectively they are antagonistic to one another. The accumulation of wealth implies struggle, | and struggle does not bring forth the i kind of qualities which make of the j gentle and stately men and women of I Vandyke's canvases one great family. ' —Anna McClure Shull in Gunton's | Magazine. All Tlmrkrrprn Are Inaccurate. The capacity of a watch for keeping - good time is very much governed by ! its const nut ion and its more or less ' perfect finish. It cannot be expected ■ of the best horizontal watch that it i should always keep good time and even loss so of the interior make of machine | : made watches. The changes of oil, the variation in temperature, the diversity i of humidity of atmosphere, all greatly affect the going of a watch. Indeed. It Is only the most perfect finish which neutralizes the adverse influences to the greatest degree. As a matter of fact, no watch keeps perfectly correct time, and even the best chronometers ' used in observatories and on board ships must be regulated according to f tables which are kept to tlx the varia- I tions to which all watches are liable. A Bad Habit. "Sixty-eight." murmured n young librarian ns a woman waiting for a book leaned forward nod touched her cheeks and lips to the top of the brass guard about the desk. "Beg pardon,” said the woman. “Did you speak to me?” “Oh. no; I'm just counting the persons whose lips have touched that rail this afternoon. You are the sixtyeighth.” The woman started back in disgust and hastily wiped her lips ou her handkerchief. “I whs unconscious of what I was doing." she exclaimed. “I suppose they all are," was the laconic reply.—Youth’s Companion. KiikHmli Eatimntr of Emrrcoa. A single short work of Emerson's, the essay on “<'ompensation.” is enough to convince one that this was a man of I trite genius. We have never read anyi thing in Thoreau approaching that and | other works of Emerson in originality I or beauty. Rut Emerson is the best of I the American writers. Was It Henry | James who called him "the unfallen I man?" One jaiinot imagine an intellect which failed to admire "Compensation” or which was convinced by its transcendentalism. — London Saturday Review. Baaely Deceived. "Did you beiievc him when he «»ld lie loved you?" "No. I didn't.” “Did you believe him when be told of his great wealth?” “No.” “Then there's no harm done.” “Yes. there Is. I was goose enough to believe that the ring he gave me was a real diamond.”—Cleveland Hain Dealer. ntid Work. “You can't judge n man by de 'monnt of noise he makes." said i'licle Ebon. “De locomotive engeneer is doin' his ousles’ work when he’s ringin' de Imll an' biowin' de whistle.” — Washington Star.
