APPROPRIATION FOR EXPOSITION
The legislature has not yet acted on the
bill calling for a 75000 appropriation for
the St Louis Worlds fair nor is it
likely to recommend that amount This
is a poor time for any appropriation bill
to come up to this legislature and the
chances are not altogether assuring that
any outlay will be made for this purpose
Two representatives of the St Louis fair
W H Moore of St Louis and Colonel
Harvey P Salmno of Clinton Mo in
company with W J Bryan who pre
sented them called on Governor Mickey
and urged him to use his influence with
the legislature to make an appropriation
The governor told them that there was
a bill providing for 75000 and that he
was of the opinion that probably the leg
islature would grant 50000 but doubted
if the bill would get through in its orig
inal form

One Answer for All
Lancaster N Y March 30th Post
master Remers is still in receipt of
many letters asking if his cure has
held good
It will be remembered that some
time ago the particulars of Mr Re
mers case were published in these
columns He had been very low with
Diabetes Physicians could do noth
ing to save him and he grew worse
and worse till someone recommended
uodds Kidney Pills A treatment of
this remedy was begun and when eight
boxes had been taken Mr Remers
began to see an improvement which
continued as the treatment proceeded
till he was completely restored
He has since enjoyed perfect health
and is as robust and able a man as any
in Lancaster Interviewed the other
day he said
Many people wrote to me when the
story of my case was first printed and
some write to me yet asking if the
cure was only temporary and if the
diabetes has returned I have only one
answer to everybody Three years ago
I was very low with diabetes The
best physlcans failed to help me and
Dodds Kidney Pills cured me I am
well and strong and have not had the
slightest return of the old trouble
