An advertisement touts a well stocked Hameston drug store offering standard proprietary medicines and toilet articles. It promotes a wide array of goods, including hair brushes and watches, claiming their cigars are the best in Hameston.
The column surveys a range of topics from a change of venue in an Iowa murder case to a deadly South Sea hurricane, the death of Col. William Penn Clark, and seismic shocks in St. Louis. It notes U.S. Monroe Doctrine defense, Cole Younger's conditional pardon, anticipated extra Congress sessions, Rockefeller's political lobbying, coal price impacts, Jewish church movement, Paris cake walk craze, and looming anthracite coal exhaustion.
Inventions driven by necessity aim to cut coal use as power from river falls is harnessed. A Rankakee Ill experiment shows paper can be produced from corn stalk parts with a field machine separating shell pith and husk for varied papers. Mention of commerce department act and Rockefeller opposition follows, plus a long note on longevity studies in Saxony and a Wheatland poet A J Gault obituary.
