HANNA DID IT Gov. Tillman, of Kouth Carolina, is abroad again with his pitchfork, stating that he does not see auy sign of prosper­ ity. In a speech in Mew York State the other day he.likens the wave of busihes^ and farm activity which is now sweeping over the country to a hot-air-balloon ascension, and predicts that it will col­ lapse with a mighty thud. The wheat boom, he asserts, is merely speculative, and for the aid of Mark Hanna; that when goes up it is at the expense of the people of the East who buy bread. Last year Tillman hurled denunciations at the gold power because the farmer was getting a low price for his wheat; now he says the high price of wheat will cause suffering to the people who buy bread. But Mr. Tillman's remarks are not worthy of serious consideration. Any man who makes such' a statement that the present great wheat movement which is affecting the whole world to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars., is " merely speculative" and designed to aid Mark Hanna, is either a fool or a knave. The Senator is not thought gen­ erally to be a fool, and it is hardly polite to call a United States Senator a knave Still we wish to give the Senator the ben­ efit of the doubt, and will leave, the ver­ dict to, the people.--BooneCounty Re­ publican.

Where the appetite is varying or lacking, it in­ creases it, and where digestion is weak, it aids it to perform its function in a more vigorous way. It enriches the blood, makes healthy flesh and cures chronic coughs and colds by making it possible for the body to resist disease.

Norton, cashier and manager of the bank of Durand, near Rocklord, has disappeared, after forging notes to the amount of "$0,000, and it- is feared has made away with about $30,000 on deposit. He has been a prominent business man, a church and Sunday school worker, handled the cash of the local Modern Woodmen, and was trusted and esteemed by everybody. . (ST'The dollar which the farmer is,now getting for a bushel of his wheat is as good as the best gold from Klondike or Colorado or South Africa. The dollar Which the silver orators promised him if he would follow them is worth just 40 cents and still falling. The farmer show­ ed a level head by sticking to the metal which the wisest people of the world have always accepted as the safe and unchang­ ing measure of value. Kg?"
