" THE man who votes the Republican ticket , this year , will vote to keep the $200,000,000 in the United States that is now annually paid to foreign shipowners for doing our foreign carrying. The man who votes the Democratic ticke endorses the proposition to leave this business in the hands of foreigners where it now is. THE conservative , patriotic and hoii orable administration of President Me Kiuley cannot fail to recommend itsel to the good sound sense and judgment of the business men of America , ant their voice will be a powerful element in the decision of the voters at the polls in November. President McKinley stands for just and righteous and equitable I able government unswervingly , and to his unstained standard believers in such a government will enthusiastically flock. THE books of the Third Assistant Post master-General , for the fiscal year end ing June 30 , 1900 , show an increase in the sale of postage stamps for 1900 over the year ending June 30,1899 , of 467,417- 460 stamps , the total number sold being 3i963i374i3ro stamps , valued at $76,276- 804. The increase in revenue was $9- 474,413.50 In addition to these stamps there were issued 2,263,040 books of twelve stamps each , valued at $830,648.- 48 , making the total increase of sales of stamps $10,305,061.98 , or about 13 per cent. "FEWEST failures in eighteen years" is the headline on Bradstreets1 record for the first half of this year. That nonpartisan - partisan business journal says : "The number of failures reported for the first six months of the calendar year 1900 is the smallest noted for eighteen years past. Compared with a year ago the falling off in number is 3.3 per cent , and even larger decreases are noted when comparisons are made with the first half of the years 1896 and 1897. This year , in fact , for the first time in eight een years , the six months' failures have fallen below 5,000 in number. " Stock Hogs Wanted. Hogs from 100 Ibs. up. Will pay $3.50 to $4.00.

In an interview at Kansas City , he said : "The strongest silver men are with us. Even Jones is with us , and has so de clared , but he is dominated by Mr. Bryan. Just the same as I am opposed to Imperialism in a nation , so I am op posed to it in an individual. This is imperialism of the worst sort. " The Plunge Bath at Hot Springs. Hot Springs' popularity as a summer resort is due to its plunge bath more than to anything else. There is nothing like it anywhere else in the country. Larger swimming pools there are , but none whose waters are so clear , so crys tal-like , so wonderfully refreshing. All summer long it is thronged with bathers from early morning till a late hour at night. Not everyone who visits Hot Springs patronizes the plunge , but near ly everyone makes a point of spending an hour or two there daily. The water is of a uniform temperature of 96 degrees and you experience a slight electric shock when you enter it. The action of the heart is also percept ibly stimulated. These sensations are of brief duration and are quickly followed by feelings of pleasure , comfort and te- laxation. During July the Burlington Route will run ten cheap excursions to Hot Springs. The dates are : July 3-7 8-9-10-14-17-18 21-28. The rate is one fare , plus $2.00. for the round trip. Tickets bear liberal return limit and the Burlington's service to the Black Hills is unrivalled. Call on the local ticket agent of the B. & M. R. R. R. and let him tell you what it will cost you to make the trip.

Uncle 'Zek'el Watson was accustom ed to seeing good sized squares of cup cake , 'lection cake or gingerbread on the supper table , and when he had his first plate of ice cream in a city restaurant he looked with some dis favor upon the macaroons and small sponge drops which accompanied it. "How do you like it ? " asked his niece , who was doing the honors of the city for her uncle. "The ice cream Is first rate , " said Uncle 'Zek'el. "I call it extry good. But when you come to these things , " he added , lifting one of the sponge "lady fingers" and surveying it doubt fully , " 1 presume to say they're all right enough , what there Is of 'em , but there isn't enough of 'em ; just oothing but gape and swallow !

After many intricate experiments , scientists have discovered methods for obtaining all the natural digestants. These have been com bined in the proportion found in the human body and united with substances that build up the digestive organs , making a compound called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you'eat and allows all dyspeptics to eat plenty of nourishing food while the stomach troubles are being radically cured by the me dicinal agents it contains.
