This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 3 has an article headed: "THE DREAMY DRUG" "How It Operates in the Chinese Dens in St. Louis" and more. (see)
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 10 pages, nice condition.
