Quite a furore exist* In regard to the
use of carbonated drinks. They are be-
coming exceedingly popular, especially
during the summer season. While they
are exceedingly pleasant drink, you can
me them at " home or in your busi
ness office. They'cool the stomach, stim-
ulate the liver and unload the bowels.
They instantly cure heartburn, sour stom-
ach and sick headache. They are very
cheap, a bottle of 20 doses cost* only 50
cents. The one now in use throughout

Glad Tidings to Suffering Woman!
A specific has been discovered that pos-
itively corrects all menstrual disorders! It
miraculously relives, and cures all that
cla6s of troublesome maladies in woman.
It has long been known and used, and
its specific powers are abundantly
vouched for by the experience of thous-
ands of women.
This magic balm is now finding its way
into almost every household in the land,
and is known by its significant and ex-
pressive name, Bradfield's Livet Regula-
tor.
Atlanta, Ga , March 12, 1870.
I have examined the recipe of Brad-
field's Female Regulator, ana believe it a
most excellent medicine, and well suited
to all that class of diseases designated.
I have no hesitation in recommending it
to the public.

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup is the
perscription of one of the best female
physicians and nurses in the United
States, and has been used for thirty years
with never failing safety and success by
millions of mothers and children from
the feeble infant of one week old to the
adult. It corrects acidity of the stom-
ache, relieves wind colic, regulates the
bowels and gives rest, health and com-
fort to mother and child. We believe it
is the best and surest remedy in the
world, in all cases of disentery and diar-
rhoea in children, whether it arises from
teething or from anv other cause. Full
directions for using will accompany each

ST. JOSEPH.
A Model for Denison to Patera
From.
St. Joseph, Mo , Aug. 5.
Editor Newt i
Sir—It is nearly two month* since
I arrived in this city, and so regular-
ly has'the Daily News been receiv-
ed, that I have, at times, almost for-
gotten my absence from Denison.
The News reaches St. Joseph one
day after date, traveling the inter-
vening five hundred miles in about
twenty-four hours, thus making me
feel quite at home.
Business is comparatively quite in
St. Joseph, at present, but public
improvements, on a large scale, aro
being pushed forward with vigor.
An immense fall trade is anticipated
and even now, preparations for the
busy season may be soen every-
where. The summer has, so far, been
unusually dry and hot. The drouth
has not been so severe, however, as
to affect the crops severely. The
St. Joseph market is being abun-
dantly supplied with fruit and vege-
tables1 of every kind. Apples ot the
finest quality, are sold at forty cents
a bushel. Peaches and grapes will
be yery plentiful and cheap, in a
week or two. Watermelons are
just beginning to come into this
market.
St. Joseph never was in a more
prosperous condition than at the
present moment, nor were her pros-
pects ever brigher. During the
past year $r,000,000 were invested
in new buildings. There ate now
several stupendous buildings in
course of erection, which will be oc-
cupied, at an early day, by firms en-
gaged in the wholesale trade. Three
of the buildings relet red to, will
cost $30,000 each, and will be un-
surpassed in any state west of the
Mississippi, as regards capacity, ele-
gance, and stability. The whole-
sale trade ot St. Joseph is greater
by far, than that of any other city in
this state, except St. Louis, the ag-
gregate amount last year being up-
w:\ids of $40,000,000. It is believed
that the entire wholesale and retail
trade of tho city will foot up $60,-
000,000 th;s year. There are eight
commercial houses in St. Joseph,
which have a cash capital of $1-,
000,000 each. From these figures
it will be seen that this city is mak-
ing her mark—that she means busi-
ness.
The population of St. Joseph, ac-
cording to census report recently re-
ceived, is 33,650, against 18,595 in
1S70, being an increase of nearly 64
per cent, in the last decade. It is
only within the last two years, how-
ever, that this city has manifested
extraordinary growth. Like Deni-
son and Sherman, Kansas City and
St. Joseph have always been pvals.
•fhe latter finding herself losing
greund, and seeing th t something
must be done—in fact that it was
either "do or die"—inaugurated a
new departure, and all that capital
and enterprise combined could do,
has been done the last two years, to
put St. Joseph beyond the danger of
competition.
The region immediately tributary
to St. Joseph, including the famous
'•Platte Purchase," pronounced by
Thomas Benton, "the richest and
most productive country in the world
and destined to be the great grain,
stock and fruit stction of this conti-
nent," is, as yet, but very imperfect-
ly developed. As the growth of an
inland city depends, to a great ex-
tent, upon the character of the sur-
rounding country, it is but reasona-
ble to presume that keoping pace
with the rapid settlement ot this fer-
tile region, St. Joseph will have a
population of not less than 100,000
at the close of the present century.
Twenty one years ago your car-
respondent first visited St. Joseph.
The population at that time was
perhaps 6,000, only one railway
line—the Hannibal and St. Joseph
—being open. There was not a
public school in the city, nor, in fact
a good school of any kind. Denison
with her four railways, her two daily
newspapers, her excellent system of
public graded schools, and splendid
school building; her elegant church
buildings, private residences and
business houses, and her broad
streets well lighted with gas, is far
ahead of what St. Joseph was at that
not very far distant day. But let us
again look at St. Joseph, in order to
obtain some idea of her progress.
There are at present twelve rail-
ways diverging from this city, eight
of which are main lines, and the rest
branch roads, connecting with main
lines.
The iron railway bridge across the
Missouri river, completed in 1873,
and costing $1,000,000, is a notable
feature of the railway spstem centre-
i g here, and the union depot, now
under contract, will be tne finest in
the state, outside of St. Louis. It is
to cost upwards of $100,000. There
are five miles of street railway in
operation, to which two and a half
miles will be added immediately.
The water works by wnich the
city is to be supplied with water,
from the Missouri river, at a cost ot
$700,000, deserves notice. The St.
Joseph Water Company will have
24 miles ot pipe laid and the works
completed by the 8th of October.
There are 16 miles already laid, and
460 men engaged laying pipe and
building reservoirs. There will be
three reservoirs with a capacity of
20,000,000 of gallons, the daily ca-
pacity of engines being 6,000,000
gallons. The height of the reservoirs
above high water ef the Missouri
river, is 320 feet, and 160 feet above
the highest buildings in the city.
For the use of 160 hydrants the city
is to pay the Water Company $16,-
000 annually, and those who use the
water in their houses will, of cruise,
pay according to the quantity con-
sumed.
Among the many new enterprises
promising great benefit to the city,
may be mentioned the Canning Fac-
tory, Evans, Day & Co.,proprietors,
recently from Baltimore, Md. This
establishment has had 30 men em-
ployed since last February making
cans. The factory employs about
400 operatives, at present. Toma-
toes, beans, peas, and fruit of various
kinds, will be canned to the amount
of several millions of cans annually.
There are 25 churches in the city,
and a good system ot public, graded
schools, employing 60 teachers. At
the head of the public school system
is a yery efficient high school.
Among the numerous private insti-
tutions of learning, the following are
the most prominent: The Christian
Brothers' College, the Convent of the
Sacred Heart, the Young Ladies'
Institute, the Female College, occu-
pying a building which cost $140,-
000, and the St. Joseph Business
College, Prof. Thos. Bryant, presi-
de nt.
For some of the facts and figure*
given in this communication, I am
indebted to my old friend,. R. R.
Calkins, Esq., who has for many
yeats been identified in various ways,
with the inter* s of St. Joseph.

Tho enthusiasm of the political
parties may be pretty accurately
guessed at after Mr. Garfield's visit
to New York is ended. The demo
cratic national committee met there
recently, and now the republican
committee is in session there. Give
the republicans the additional advan-
tage of the presence of their presiden-
tial candidate, and their enthusiasm
does not by any means promise to
equal the cheering "boom" of the
democrats. And yet New York city
is about as good a place for one par-
ty to make a stir as for the other.

Burying the Wite Murder er.
Nkw York, Aug. 7.—The funer-
er of Peitro Balbo, the Italian, exe-
cuted Friday for wife murder took
place to-day from the undertaker's.
Then was an immense crowd of
spectators. The remains were in
charge of six pal! bearer*, represent-
ing as many Italian societies. There
were forty carriages in line. Fathers
Anacletus and Julius and Balbo s
counsel accompanied the remains to
Calvary cemetery, where the inter-
ment took place. The societies
were not allowed by the police to
carry drapexl flags. They formed in
procession and accompanied the
body to the Brooklyn ferry.
A Wealthy Man Suicides.
Denver, Col., Aug. 7.—An old
man named Matthew Dowling, liv-
ing on Cubb creek, twenty-two miles
southwest of Golden, hanged him-
self in his cellar yesterday. The
cellar was not high enough t* allow
hi on to hang clear, and he therefore
looped the rope around his neck and
held up his feet, or leaned forward,
till he was dead. The deceased was
quite wealthy. Domestic trouble
was the cause of the act.
If the chionic tippler over the way
will give his readers mort newi and
leas Of Burhans, he will undoubtedly
suit his readers belter.

Elopoment in High Life.
Dallas. Texas Aug. 7.—There
was an elopement in high life last
night. John W. Lyle, formerly of
Macon, Mo., and MissFanwie Good-
let were the contracting parties. Mr.
Lyle is the head of the firm of Lyle
& Aldridge, job printers and station-
ers, and one of the most highly es-
teemed young men of the city. Miss
Goodlet is a belle and favorite in so-
ciety. There is no reason for the
opposition, for Lyle is an elegant
gentleman, well off and popular.
The affair created a local sensation
and everybody sides with the bride
and groom.

Dr. Parsons Murdered.
Constantinople, Aug. 7.—Dr.
Parsons, the American missionary,
who, with his servant, was murder-
ed near Ism<dt, was making a tour
in the mountains, and had encamped
by the roadside in the vicinity of
some Zuruks, a semi-nomadic tribe.
Two Zuruks shephers confessed that
they shot two travelers while they
slept, and robbed them of their
money, amounting to less than five
dollars. As Dr. Parsons did not
reach his destination at the expected
time, and as his hordes were found
wandering about the hill, his friends
instituted a search, and the bodies
were discovered under some busies.
The authorities hearing a dispatch
on the subject had been sent the Bri-
tish embassy, showed more thaa
usual zeal, and by threatening whole-
sale arrest, induced the Zuruks to
surrender the criminals, who are
now imprisoned.
