Observer serenely bobs up. It seems that Bro Williams is like Banquo's Ghost. Alright Bro, Williams, maybe you'll be a winner in the end. We again welcome your appearance. It is essential if you are a Republi can to vote the straight ticket, county as well as state, state as well as naval. REMEMBER that E. A. Enright, our present County Attorney, seeks at the hands of his party another ter . He deserves it, and you should vote for him. The Republican county ticket is one that is creditable in every respect and should command the vote from every honest Republican. There are men to be found on this ticket that their equal could be found no place else, and in casting your vote for the Republican ticket in Wyandotte county you will be doing what your conscience tells you is right. TIME does wrought many varied changes. Only a few days ago we read of a negro giving alms to his former white master who, after years of plenty, was reduced to poverty. Later, we read of a man who was at one time manager of a poor house, who after years drifted away, and back again, at the age 78, to be admitted as a poor, friendless pauper. We are all living to-day—we know not what to-morrow will bring, it should be the duty of every human being to treat every other human being with the respect due them as people. Those we wrong to-day are death closes our career we may need them. On the 22nd, and 23 d, the First Reunion of the 23rd. Regiment, will be held at Topeka, Kas. It is to be hoped that every one of the "boys" will be there and as many of the old boys of "61" as possible. As this is the first Reunion, not one of the 23rd, boys should miss it, if they are on this side of the globe. While there were no battles fought that won you fame, no press reporters at every beck an call—yet every negro in the state was proud of you, when you marched away with floating flags, and still proud of you when you returned with your ranks thinned by fever and other diseases. Long years to come the story of the 23rd. Regiment and its black officers will be told and in memory you will be cherished. Like everything else your ranks are thinning out each year. Let us assemble together once more under the old flag and salute each other as of yore. We hope every one of the boys will conduct themselves in such a manner as will bring credit to them and not disgrace at their First Reunion. Rase pride is one of the essential qualifications to the success of the Negrie in the United States, and the one, we are sorry to say, the least cultivated-Ex. THE A TRUTH "Amidst the toils and struggles that the Negro has to labor unde, it is a wonder that he ever succeeds in this world's great pavilion; he is handicapped by labor unions, and too many other things to mention. Most every avenue of industry is closed against him: yet, with all these impediments he is making miraculous progress in the history of this world in pushing himself forward along with the other nations, and we predict for the Negro that before another quarter of a century he will have released himself from the glamor and surmount the petty spite and environments and be regarded as a race equal to his superiors. But it will take a continual beat upon theavel in the way of economy, fugality, and in acquiring homes, and an education, to compete with the superior races."—Kansas City Observer. It seems that Hell has broke loose among and against the negroes. First in New Orleans then in New York, and lastly in Chicago. What is to be done is the burning question of the hour? --- We start out with great determination but we either grow tired or des- courageed so soon. We are no willing to make sacricles that we may build strong, stable foundations for our childen to build from. Susan B. Anthony has advised the Negroes of the South to seek relief by the way of a sixteenth amendment to the constitution that will give the wives, daughters and sisters the right to vote. It is doubtful, however, whether the regroes will try to avail themselves of the advice so long as the fifteenth amendment which prohibits political discrimination on account of race or color, is nullified by force and fraud WHAT THE PLATFORM STANDS FOR The Democratic platform declares that any government not based on the consent of the governed is a tyranny. By justifying the Philippine insurrection it declares also that any portion of the population has the inherent right to withdraw its allegiance. And it holds further, that coercion cannot justly be used against a section of the people in rebellion. All the cispatrap contained in this platform about the primary right of man and the Declaration of independence does not avail to coeal these plain enunciations of policy and principle. They stand out clearly and impressively. They fix an issue about which the battle at the polls may intelligently be fought. They were the doctrines of the Southern Confederacy, and are the doctrines of secession wherever found. They also are the doctrines of crimes and riot, and in their last analysis they dethrone government of every sort. In adopting such a platform the Democratic party was clearly within the province of free thought and free speech. No one will gainay the right to revive the issue which the American people thought was settled forever with the surrender at Appomattox. But intelligent people everywhere must reject the method of argument employed. Miss Grace Uril, with Miss Mollie McMahan, has gone to New York City for fall styles and a full line of goods, and will return on or before September 15th. Thanking all for past patronage and hoping to maintain all and gain mere in the future, she can be found at 514 12th. street. AMERICAN CI KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1900. RACE NEWS. Mrs Nancy Cole, one of the earliest settlers of this county, perhaps that is alive to-day," says the Dallas Express, "is able to walk around and claims to be enjoying fairly good health. She will be better remembered as "Aunt Nancy, for the old settlers here cannot forget the many Sabbaths that Uncle Jim and Aunt Nancy have walked from their country home, which is about two miles north of the city, to the Christian church, (white) and how one walk along before the other, both of them with canes in their hands. Uncle Jim died a few years ago, leaving the aged lady to go alone. Sne claims to be over a hundred years of age." UNUSUAL FOR GEORGIA Marietta, Ga., Aug 10 —Sam Robinson, a negro charged with criminal assault on Mrs George Inzer, was to-day convicted and sentenced to hang September 1st. He confessed after conviction. HANGED TO A TELEGRAPH POLE Corinth, Miss, Aug. 13 —Jack Betts, a tegro, was lynched this morning. He is said to have assaulted a ten year old white girl in the country Sunday morning. A mob took bim from jail and hanged him to a telegraph pole on the public square. MAJ. TAYLOR WINS CLOSE RACE. New Bedford, Mass. Aug. 13.—The mid-summer meet of the Massachussetts division of the League of American Wheelmen, came to a close Saturday. The most exciting event was the mile national professional, which adj. Taylor won after having fought out to the flush every heat he rode in, and especially the semi-finals, when J. A. Newhouse, of Buffalo, pushed him faster than any mile has been ridden without motor pace on the track. The mile was made in 1562-5. DISSATISFIED NEGROES Promise Bryan Many Votes From the Ranks of Their Race. Chicago, Aug. 14.—Mr. Bryan had a conference today with a delegation of colored men headed by J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis, former minister to Liberia. They represented that there was much dissatisfaction among the members of their race with the pre-em ent administration, and assured Mr. Bryan that he would receive the votes of many of them. They therefore urged the importance of the organization of Bryan an Democratic clubs. A BANK FOR NEGROES. Members of American Protective League Outline Plans. Chicago, Aug. 14 — Members of the American Protective League, the association of cooled men formed about a year ago, and which held its first national convention at Indianapolis, July 31 to August 3, last, met last night a Olive church, for the purpose of establishing financial headquarters in Chicago. The intention is to get together a strong financial institution by taxing all members a cent a week apiece and ultimately to form a national bank for the furtherance of undertakings beneficial to the race. Headquarters of the league are in Pr. videace, R. I., but the financial center is to be in Chicago. At present there is something like 50,000 members. During the week regular offices will be established in this city and by next January it is hoped affairs will have progressed sufficiently to admit of a national back being started here. ARE NEGROES THE ONLY CHICH EN THIEVES? Judging from what we believe to be facts they are not. Rev. S. S. Deer, a white minister in Hampstead, Carroll Co., Maryland, says the Baltimore Ledger, recently found one of the members of his church in his hen house and after the brother had handed out about a dozen of the good minister's chickens, the minister told the brother that he thought that was about as many as he would be able to carry. The minister advised the brother to go home and pray for forgiveness. We wonder would be have done the same ting had the thief been a colored man? This time the Negro in the hen house happened to be a white man. In this, in many other things, there is a moral, and the moral in this particular case is that all chicken theves are not Negroes a bit more than all ra pist are not Negroes. WOMAN OH! WOMAN A man may be disposed to save money and hay it by or for sickness and other purposes, but he cannot do this unless his wife le s him or helps him. A prudent, frugal, thrifty woman, is a crown of glory to her husband. She helps him in all his good resion oils she may, by quiet and gentle encouragement, bring out his better qualities and by her example she may implant in him noble principles which are the seeds of the highest practical virtues.—American Baptist.

GEO. A. CLARK, [SEAL.] Secretary of State. That there is retrogression in "Sociy y" is found in the fact that encouragement is given to such a dance as the slow-drag, a sort of two-step. It is more vigil and suggestive than the famous chootchie-cootchie in that the performance of the latter require only one person, whereas the slow drag necessitates two persons to do it. DISCOURAGING TO LYNCHERE, From the New York Press From the New York Press. The conviction of a third participant in the tuple Humphrey's lynching in Texas is an encouraging sign. Imprisonment for a site term will not be a particular inducement to the rising generation to string up families on suicidion. Bennett & Co..

Accomplishments are good in their place, but if half the girls who spend hours every day trumping the piano, with no taste or capacity for music, would invest the same time and money in learning how to sew and trim hats, they would realize a much better profit on their capital, and would never come to be regarded as incumbrances by their friends and relatives. The higher education and many accomplishments of the poor Negro girl only add to her embarrassments and leave her bat one profession—that of a teacher. School it fluences are all good, and a teacher is fitted to appear in the best society, as a result of association with the cultured and rehued educators of youth. But all cannot be teachers. We must have women who cannot only teach schoo, but who can sew, trim hats, cook, superintend a heenry or carry on any other buiness enterprise. It is not necessary that she lose that essential charm of womanhood because she stands behind the counter and sells vegetables and weighs flour. She need not shake a particle of her dignity of character because she conducts a cigar stand. If she is a true woman the very tendency of her being will sustain her womanly strength. A woman working for her daily bread need feel no shame or embarrassment; the day has gone by when the woman who enters any pursuit of industry leses caste. The great majority of our women are in need of money making tale it and it is a grave mistake to educate the boys to become self-helpers while the girls are left to be mere ornamental members of society. The Standard. At the last meeting of the Mississippi Press Association (white) a resolution was passed denying further membership to white news,apers which employed negro compositors; still there are negroes who say they will not read those papers owned and managed by the race. God pity the fools. AN EPITAPH All that is earthly of the late Augustus Henry Bore, Beneath this stone in comfort rests, Upon his native shore.

Let us find our ebbiest pleasures and haunt our foots. Hosting bounties for to day, So the poor shall have a short measure And two prices have to pay. Yes, we'll reservoir our rivers, And we'll levy on the lakes, And we'll lay a trifling poll tax On each poor man who partakes— We will brand his number on him That he'll carry through life— We'll apprentice all his children, Get a mortgage on his wife. We'll capture e'en the wind god And confuse him in a cave. And then, through our patent process, We the atmosphere will save— Thus we squeeze our little brother When he tries his lungs to fill, Put a meter on his wind pipe And present our little bill. We will syndicate the starlight, And monopolize the moon— Claim royalty on rest days, A proprietary noon— Forright of way through ocean's spray We'll charge just what it's worth— We'll drive our stakes around the lakes, In fact, we'll own the earth. GREAT MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE. Great men are as rare in politics as they are elsewhere, and are no more needed there than elsewhere. The main part of the government is plain, practical business, and requires the same traits, faculties and methods as a great manufacturing or commercial enterprise. But the field is broader and the opportunities are more alluring. Government affairs concern every citizen, and the legislator with novel and foresight ideas, which he expresses in original and striking language, has an assured audience of as many millions as are voters in the republic. The bulk of our legislators and magistrates are men of fair, average, everyday capacity, who would be content with the revenues of the leading attorney at the county seat or the teacher of languages or the principal tradessman in a country town. It would, perhaps, be within bounds to say that the speaker and twenty representatives in each congress have been the responsible architects and builders of our legislative fabric since the war. In the senate, for obvious reasons, the proportion of influential participants is greater, but even here it is less than the majority.—Ex Senator Ingalls, in the Saturday Evening Post. MACHINE VS MEN New York's white wings are doomed. Street sweepers, teamsters, snow showers all are to be put out of business by a big machine, and one that can do three times the work of Jercy Nagles whole brigade. This machine sprinkles, sweeps and cleans at the same time. Already it has been placed on trial by Commissioner Nagle. There is no mystery about the invention. It was first tried in Wheeler g, W. Va., in which state the company which exploits it was incorporated with a capital stock of $5,0,0,000. Wagons of the company will be operated by compressed air. Electricity also can be used. The wagons a e called "par parts." They are so constructed as to be able to sweep the streets under all conditions. Dust, dirt and slush disappear before their onslaught. In winter an attachment is arranged by which snow showing can be done. Jacob Rickette, Plaintiff, vs. Euretta M. Alexander, E. S Griggsy, William J. Fuller and Belle C. Fuller, Defen-naat.

Try a wet towel to the back of the neck when sleepless. Try swallowing saliva when troubled with sour stomach. Try utermilk for removal of freckles, tan and but teranium stains. Try taking your cod-liver oil in tomato sauce if you want to make it palatable. Try a hot dry flannel over the seat of neuralgic pain, and renew it freely. Try a cloth wrung out from cold water put about the neck at night, for sore throat. Try walking with your hands behind you, if you find yourself becoming bent forward. Try planting sunflowers in your garden, if compelled to live in a malarial neighborhood. A rich man's secret.

MONEY FOR OLD'SOLDIERS I WILL BUY The additional Homestead Claims of all Soldiers or Sailors who served in the Union army or navy, their widows or minor heirs. Who filed a Homestead claim of less than 160 acres of land prior to June 22nd., 1874? Such persons are entitled to enough more land, including the number of acres embraced in their original entry, without living upon it, to make 160 acres. If they homesteaded 80 acres, they are entitled to 80 more, if 40 acres 120 more, if 159 acres, one acre more, or any other number as it may be. By late rulings and decisions its not necessary that final proof should have been made on their original entry, that is, they are now entitled to such additional rights if their homestead was abandoned, canceled or relinquished, and all transfers can be made at their home, before a Notary Public. All such claims I am prepared to buy and will pay the highest market price in cash, AT ONCE. Will buy fractional claims even if not more than one acre each. If you did not make a homestead filing you have no claim to sell. This land is yours and don't wait but come to this office at once and get full particulars concerning this land. It is to your own interest to do so.

Mr. Editor: I read in a recent issue an article headed "Business Men's ideas of Fire Insurance," and owning considerable property that I always keep insured I am naturally interested in the subject. Much of this article I know to be correct, but some of it I question and part of it I do not understand, for instance: Why, if the profit is so limited and the hazard so great in fire insurance does capital continue in it, and why is it, if the business is unprofitable, I find that most of the companies I do my insurance with annually increase their assets until some of them today are nearly double what they were a few years ago, and I can not reconcile this with the business being conducted on so small a profit? Now as to the valued policy law, Why do companies object to it? Why should they not pay in the event of a total loss the amount they have insured and collected premium for? Why do they, to commence with, grant more insurance than the property is worth? When men in other business make a bad bargain they have to stand it, and why not an insurance company? What is the meaning of the anti-compact law? What are its purposes? And if a bad law, why do different states enact it? It is a poor question that has not two sides to it. I should like some light on the other side of this important one. Awaiting which, I am, respectfully, A PROPERTY OWNER. August 9th, 1900. GLOBE SIGHTS. As a rule a man who can wait patiently, has nothing to do. Everyone thinks he works for a man who is mighty unappreciative. After a man does a clever thing, he usually talks about it too much. There is a disease among cattle known as big jaw; many people catch it. "I never appreciate the politeness of a man who has something he wishes to sell me."—Drake Watson. A girl deserts her father during the period of her love affairs, but she comes back to him after she has married, and brings her husband with her. People who are very positive that they have a right to their opinions, deny the same right to others. Those who give nothing to charity themselves, usually criticise those who do, and say they should give more. We are tired of being bluffed into silence by being asked if we have read the latest book. We are also tired of the air of pity that follows when we admit that we have not only not read it, but hadn't heard of it before. There is surely something more to living than to be up at daylight to read the newest book published during the night. Do people no longer read good books, or is it only new books that are read.—Atchison Globe. LADLED FROM THINK-TANK. The faulty are the fault-finding. Wide sympathies broaden the soul. A full today enlarges tomorrow. Proditable pleasures never perish. Reverence is the insignia of royalty. He who is not true to himself is a traitor to heaven. A smile can open a way more quickly than a sword. The wisest wit, like the finest steel, is the best tempered. Some husbands would do almost anything to render their wives unspeakably happy. Don't get too self-important; the world will move on just the same after you are gone. The only difference between repartee and impudence is in the size of the man who says it. Never argue with women. The man who spins a yarn among silks and satins is sure to be worsted. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. The women who are born to command always get married. The girl who doesn't wish to see callers must expect to be found out. the girl who doesn't want to see cauers must expect to be found out. Many a man dresses more expensively than the men to whom he owes money. Eve may have had her troubles, but Adam never brought his friends home to dinner unexpectedly. One kind of financial embarrassment is when a man has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it. Tommy-Pop, what's in a conscience? Tommy-Pop-Conscience, my son, is another name for the fear that people will find us out. Chinese Rise Early The Chinese believe in early rises, and begin their work day several hours earlier than Europeans or Americans. In this particular the high officials set a good example, for they hold audiences and transact business at all hours of the day and night. **Thirty-Six New Fees.** In the last five years that he has been in office Lord Salisbury has created thirty-six new peers, and of these ten have been taken from the ranks of the lawyers. They are Lord James of Hereford, Viscount Llandaigh (H. Matthews), Lord Rathmore (D. R. Plankett), Lord Kinnear (a Scotch judge), Lord Ludlow (the late Lord Justice Lopes), Lord Brampton (Sir Henry Hawkins), Sir R. Webster, Sir P. O'Brien and Lord Morris, an exlord of appeal, who is now made a peer in the United Kingdom. Consul at Che-Foo John Fowler, the United States concul at Chee-Foo, China, has been in the government service ever since reaching manhood—for twenty-one years. Beginning in 1879 as a clerk in the Washington navy yard, where he stayed two years, he was later transferred to the Tallapoosa and stayed on her until she was wrecked in 1885. Ten years ago he was appointed consul at Ning-Poo by President Harrison, whence he was transferred to Che-Foo by President Cleveland in 1896. MARCH OF THE ALLIES REPORTS, FROM THE CHI NESE INSURRECTION. The Relief Column Making Good Progress on the Way to the Chinese Capital — Chinese Minister at London Takes a Very Gloomy View of the Situation — Latest Dispatches. "The allies are reported to have reached Pekin Monday," says the Shanghai correspondent of the London Daily Express. He adds: "Chinese official news confirms this statement, but without details." Telegraphing from Yang Tsun August 6, a Daily News correspondent says: "Sir Alfred Gaselee hopes to keep the enemy running and to follow him right into Pekin." Ngan Ping was occupied without firming a shot, according to a dispatch to the Daily Express from that place dated August 11. "It is believed, the message adds, 'that Generals Tung Fu Siang, Ma and Chung are intrenching 40,000 strong at Tung Chau. The allies may avoid Tung Chau, pursuing the route northwest from Chang Kai Wan. Tung Chau appears to be about twelve miles from Pekin. A dispatch to the same paper from Shanghai says that the officials profess to be willing to hand over the foreign ministers, their families and servants, but will not permit the departure of the native Christians. "The Russian government," continued this telegram, "has notified Li Hung Chang of its willingness to receive M. De Giers outside the walls of Pekin, thus avoiding the entrance of the Russian force. This independent action is calculated to embarrass the allies seriously. Japan demands that General Yung Lu shall meet the allies outside the city gates and deliver the ministers and all the native Christians. The Chinese minister in London, Sir Chiu Chen Lo Feng Lu, is quoted as saying: "The powers must not press too hard on Pekin. If you defeat the Chinese soldiers it will not be possible to control the soldiery. They may turn and rend the legations. I do not believe the legation food supply will be stopped as long as the powers refrain from a.tacking Pekin and negotiate for the surrender of the ministers." NINE DEAD IN A COLLISION The Grand Rapids Express and a Passenger Train in a Michigan Fog. The northbound Northland express and the southbound passenger train collided in a fog at Pierson, twenty-nine miles north of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Nine persons were killed and many passengers injured. Both engines and a baggage car were demolished. Jilted Conductor Swallows Poison. Charles S. Killalea, aged 24 years, an ex-conductor of the St. Louis Transit company, swallowed a dose of strychnine at Sedalia and died an hour later in great agony. His sweetheart had forsaken him and he had no desire to live longer. In one hand he tightly grasped the photograph of a beautiful girl, and not relinquish his hold on it until his arm fell lifeshe by his side. Boylsh Quarrel Ends in Tragedy. A tragedy occurred at Decaturville, a small country village about fifteen miles north of Lebanon, Mo., in Camden county, in which a 16-year-old boy named Walters lost his life at the hands of James Rogers, jr., about 18 years of age. The report says that the quarrel which resulted in the tragedy originated over the payment of five cents worth of cash. A Kansas Man Wounded at Yang Tsun A Kansas Man Wounded at Yang Tsun. Clinton W. Graham, Company D. Fourteenth infantry, who was reported wounded at Yang Tsun, China, is a son of Colonel James Graham of St. Marys, Kansas, colonel of the Twenty-second Kansas regiment, United States volunteers. Young Graham was a newspaper man of Pottawatomie county. Three years ago he enlisted. He went to the Philipps ness about a year ago. Examiner Closes a Bank State Bank Examiner W. L. McDonald, acting under the instructions of Secretary of State Leuseur, closed the Oregon county bank at Thayer, Mo. The capital of the bank is $10,000. Alleged reckless and unsafe practices by the management made necessary the action of the department. Health of Troops in Philippines General MacArthur has cabled the war department a brief statement concerning the health of the troops in the Philippines. The number of sick in the hospitals is set down at 3,868, and in quarters at 1,261; making a total of 5,129 sick soldiers, or 8.47 per cent of the entire army in the archipelago. Boy Train Wreckers Caught Arthur Taylor and George Featherstone, each about 9 years old, are under arrest at Victor, Col, charged with causing the wreck of the Midland Terminal passenger train half a mile east of Independence, and trying to wreck the Florence and Cripple Creek train from Bull Hill in the yards at Independence. Democrats Nominate Vincent. The Democrats of the Fifth Kansas congressional district have nominated W. D. Vincent for Congress. Mr. Vincent is also the Populist nominee. An Extra Session in Kentucky Governor Beckham has issued a proclamation convening the Kentucky general assembly in an extra session on Tuesday, August 28, 1900. The only subject to be considered is the modification or amendment of the Goebel election law. Captain W. J. Murphy Killed. Captain William L. Murphy, Thirty-ninth United States volunteer infantry (first lieutenant Twenty-fourth United States infantry), was killed near Tanaan, Luzon. CAPTURED CORRESPONDENCE War Department Makes Public a Sensational Letter. The war department has made public the Filipino correspondence captured some months ago by General Funston's command in Luzon. There is a letter from Dr. Montgue R. Leverson, dated at Fort Hamilton, N. Y., July 17, 1899, and addressed to Senor G. Anacible. It says in part: "I am a member of the Anti-Imperialist league of Boston, of which George S. Boutwell is president and Erwin Winslow is secretary. I have published many articles and letters denouncing the piratical war carried on by President McKinley against your people. He and General Otis and all his troops are pirates upon the territory of the natives. Our presidents are not in the position of kings. Our presidents are not in the least authorized to make war without the consent of Congress as McKinley is doing, and all persons compromised in this war are pirates. If I were not an old man of more than 69 years, I would willingly aid you in your last defense." ANTI-IMPERIALISTS. They Meet in Indianapolis in National Convention. The first day's session of the Liberty Congress of the National Anti-Imperialistic league was held at Indianapolis August 15. About 300 accredited delegates were present. The speeches of Edwin Burritt Smith, the temporary chairman, and George S. Boutwell, the permanent president, brought forth much enthusiasm. The public meeting in the evening was largely attended, and the reading of Bourke Cochran's letter was the signal for tremendous applause. But the greatest demonstration of the convention came in the afternoon, when the venerable george S. Boutwell, ex-governor of Massachusetts, and secretary of the treasury in the cabinet of General Grant, concluded his address as permanent chairman with the declaration that he had turned his back on the republican party and should support Bryan for president. The delegatet rose in their seats and tendered the ex-governor an ovation that lasted several minutes. A RACE RIOT. This Time It Is in the Heart of New York City. A mob of several hundred New York persons formed in front of the home of Policeman Robert J. Thorpe, Thirty-seventh and Ninth avenue, to wreak vengeance upon the negroes of that neighborhood, because one of their race had caused the policeman's death. In a few minutes the mob swelled to 1,500 people or more, and as they became violent the negroes fled in terror into any hiding place they could find. The police reserves from four stations, numbering 400 in all, were called out. The mob of white men, which grew with great rapidity, raged through the district, and negroes, regardless of age or sex, were indiscriminately attacked. Scores were injured. The trouble extended over almost the whole district included from Twenty-ninth and Forty-second streets and from Ninth avenue to Sixth avenue. BRYAN ADDRESSES THE IRISH. Speaks Before the United Irish Societies of Cook County, Illinois. Mr. Bryan, Mr. Stevenson, and others made speeches Aug., 15 at Sunnyside park in Chicago on the occasion of the annual meeting of the United Irish Societies of Cook county. Mr. Bryan's speech was the first of the series, but, before he was heard, the assembly adopted an address from which the following is an extract: "We are unalterably opposed to any alliance, tacit or open, with any European monarchy, particularly ours and America's bitter foe, and shall resist in every practical and legal way the imposition of imperialism and militarism upon a people consecrated to freedom." NEW MESSAGES FROM PEKIN. The French Minister Says He Has Provisions for Fifteen Days. The French foreign office has received the following dispatch from the minister of France at Pekin, M. Picheon, dated August 9: "We have been advised that Li Hung Chang is charged to negotiate, telegraphically, with the powers. We are ignorant of events occurring outside the legation. It is surrounded by hostile defenses. "The section wherein lies the French legation is occupied by imperial troops who have not entirely ceased to fire. "We are reduced to seige rations. We have provisions, horses, rice and bread for fif.een days." A Rush Order for Naval Ammunition. An order has been received at the Norfolk navy yard directing the sending at once of seven car loads of shells, powder and projectiles to the Orient. Big Gold Shipment. The largest consignment of gold bullion ever exported from New York in a single day was shipped by the steamers Teutonic and St. Paul August 15. The shipments amounted to $8,162,000. A Topeka Recelvership. Judge Hazen of the Topeka district court, has appointed Samuel Howe receiver for the Mutual Building and Loan Association, which was recently pronounced by Commissioner Breidenthal to be in a failing condition. The Kaiser Would Make Chinese Beg. The German emperor, addressing several officers on their departure for China, exhorted them not to rest until the enemy begged for quarter. He was strongly opposed to the partition of the Chinese empire, which, he said, was not to be thought of for the present. Hall Destroys Dakota Wheat. A severe hail storm destroyed 40,000 acres of the finest grain grown in North Dakota this year, even that cut and in shock being destroyed. EXTRACT OF BENNE PLANT. Ours own remedy. First used by boys in Mississippi river steamboat men in the river who drank their "Benne Teed" from the hands of the colored "aunties." They steeped the leaves in hot water, and the boys in steamboat men was that it "did the business." In 1841, James and Constance Maguire secured some of these miraculous leaves, and they began investigation with the Seemm. Ind (Benne-Leas), and as the same indicates native of India, containing a remedy for diseases such as Colic, healing properties. Nature here furnished a remedy for diseases such as Colic, healing properties, and kindred ailments. After experimenting, the Messrs. Maguire succeeded in chemically combining the use of the Benne-Leas vegetable sub- and so furnished a remedy that has saved thousands of lives. Prepared by THE J. & G. MAGUIRE MEDICINE CO., ST.

Formosa Controls Camphor Product Formosa now controls the camphor product of the world. The Japanese annual production has dwindled to 200,000 pounds, the Chinese yield has never exceeded 220,000 pounds, while the Formosan supply, increasing yearly, reached 7,000,000 pounds in 1895, and the yield for the last four years has ranged over 6,000,000 pounds. Woman Remembers Lafayette A Saco woman recalls with pride that she waited upon the Marquis de Lafayette when he passed through the town seventy-five years ago on his way from Boston to Portland. The marquis enjoyed his dinner and gave the waitress a silver dollar, upon which coin every one of her ten children has cut his teeth. Children in Front of Care The supreme court of New Jersey has decided that the law does not require the street railway companies to give audible warning of the approach of the cars to children playing on the sidewalk. It is enough if the motorman makes every effort to arrest the motion of the car when such children rush from the sidewalk and run directly in front of the car. Duchess of Wellington. The widowed duchess of Wellington is one of the most interesting and attractive women in England. Evelyn, duchess of Wellington--as her grace will probably elect to be called--is still a comparatively young woman, being in her forty-fifth year, and she enjoys the rather unusual distinction of being several years younger than her sister-in-law, Lady Arthur Wellesley, who is now the reigning duchess. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TAKING When You Take GROVE'S Tasteless Chill Tonic because the formula is plainly printed on each bottle, showing what it contains. Imitators do not advertise their formula, knowing that you would not buy their medicine if you knew its ingredients. Grove's contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct proportions, and is in a tasteless form. Grove's is the original Tasteless Chill Tonic and any druggist who is not pushing an imitation will tell you that all other so-called "tasteless" Tonics are imitations. Grove's is the only Chill cure sold by every druggist in the malarial sections of the United States and Cuba that is guaranteed to cure any case of malaria, chills and fever, or money refunded.

Suffered Extremes of Weather Robert Johnson, a street news vendor, died in Washington as the result of prostration during the recent hot spell. Two years ago he was terribly frostbitten in the same city and it became necessary to amputate both his feet. The operation was performed in the same hospital where he died. O-I-C When a preparation has an advertised reputation that is world-wide, it means that preparation is meritorious. If you go into a store to buy an article that has achieved universal popularity like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for example, you feel it has the endorsement of the world. The judgment of the people is infallible because it is impersonal. The retailer who wants to sell you "something else" in place of the article you ask for, has an ax to grind. Don't it stand to reason? He's trying to sell something that is not what he represents it to be. Why? Because he expects to derive an extra profit out of your credulity. Are you easy? Don't you see through his little game? The man who will try and sell you a substitute for CASCARETS is a fraud. Beware of him! He is trying to steal the honestly earned benefits of a reputation which another business man has paid for, and if his conscience will allow him to go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats his customer in one way, he will in another and it is not safe to do business with him. Beware of the CASCARET substitutor.
