The Northern Securities Co will pay
the regular quarterly dividend at 1 per
cent on May 4th
Boodlk seems to have controlled the
late session of Missouris legislature
killing desirable meritorious bills and
passing every graft
The Stockville Republican is now
owned by J A Williams county judge
of Frontier county and managed by his
son Glenn formerly of The Tribune
force but late clerk in the state Senate
during the last session of the legislature
The very important senator who
thought that the country press ought to
print matter for five cents per inch and
that most editors wore searching for
something to fill up with will find when
ho makes his long contemplated race for
that state office that ho will got a con
siderable amount of that space abso
lutely free of cost and that throughout
the campaign no Republican county
paper will lack for something to write
about Last week many unkind refer
ences to this gentleman appeared in the
county papers gratis and but one pub
lisher showed any inclination to be nig
gardly the exception being the editor of
the Bennett Union who did not use a
single capital letter when printing either
the senators name or his title This
sarcastic and scornful manner of treat
ing a distinguished name goes a long
way towards proving that the space at
the command of some editors is valuable
enough to bo saved with the greatest care
when a lower case h can bo made to
do the work and express the writers
sentiment Lincoln Star
Communities are subject to the inex
orable law which demands concerted
concentrated action to score winnings
The winning movements must be an
altogether effort Assuming the object
desired to be a reasonable one a pull
together will bring it Observe that it
is just about as important that stakes be
set in reason and common sense as that
the effort bo concerted and continuous
Much well meant effort is directed to
failure and disappointment because the
project is at once attached to a kite and
soars beyond the financial ability of the
community S1000000 project should
not be promoted in a 10000 town nor a
10000 proposition sprung in a 1000
burg Substantial success is always
best achieved by securing the advant
ages within reach rather than by the
exercise of hot air over the chimerical
and beyond attainment Wind has its
place in human economy but it iaout
of place when a substantial advantage
is sought A communitys head must
bo no more in the clouds than its feet
must be on firm earth In fine let Mc
Cook get together on some reasonable
practical proposition and keep everlast
ingly after it until its a reality be it an
auditorium or whatnot

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach
For many years It has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia but the truth is exactly the
opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach
Kodoi Dyspepsia Cure

membranes lining the stomach protects the
nerves and cures bad breath sour risings a

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Sloans Life of Lincoln is now accessi
ble to those of the librarys borrowers
who care to read it Of a more serious
character than Miss Tarbells work the
book has a literary charm that compen
sates for lack of those qualities that have
made the other biography so popular
Miss Tarbell gives one pure facts and
leaves him to draw conclusions for him
self Professor Sloan has clothed a frame
work of facts with what he conceives to
be the philosophy of the life of which ho
has written
The two books are typical of two dif
ferent methods of writing biography In
the one case the reader is able to form
an unbiased opinion if he can or will
The difficulty of course is that the av
erage reader has neither the time nor the
inclination to devote much effort to di
gesting the raw material a requisite to
the formation of an intelligent estimate
He is in danger of retainirg as the sole
result of his reading a mere jumble of
anecdotes and incidents among which
he sees do consanguinity In the other
case after he has read the book he is
not without an impression His ideas
are not his own perhaps but ho had
better have anothers than none at all
Few of the opinions we hold on any sub
ject are our own and so long as they
are good the fact that they are not orig
inal should make but slight difference
We need not agree with an author but
familiarity with his views may suggest
to our mind what otherwise would not
have occurred to us A mere recital of
the incidents of a mans life does not ap
peal to our intelligence conveys no im
pression of the mans attributes We
know him no better for the knowledge
that he was born or that he died on a
certain -day of a certain year Facts of
that sort may fit many another
It is not the intention however to
compare these two books to the dispar
agement of either but merely for the
purpose of drawing a distinction between
the two They fill different spheres and
both of them should be read Indeed
it is scarcely possible to read too much
of what is really good in the way of bi
ography Nothing probably is a great
er incentive to well living than the story
of a great and a successful life and few
figures in American history are worthier
of attention than the figure of Lincoln
