The general election in Alabama last Tuesday, by a majority vote for a constitutional convention, practically decides upon the disfrachissement of the negro through "educational qualifications." The Democrats were behind this movement for, prior to the election, the orators of that party openly pledged immunity to the white voters in case the new constitutional convention carried and adopted such a clause at its session to be held next month. "Educational qualification" is a good thing provided a general application of its provisions be made, to white as well as colored, but to single out a certain class for the sole purpose of venting their antipathy upon simply because their skin is darker, shows an uncharitable, unchristian-like spirit. We judge that there are some Democrats in Alabama that believe in a hereafter, basing our conclusions upon the church editions that dots its landscape, and the thought comes to us that should death overtake one of those southern Christian Democrats, his condition would be deplorable indeed, if an old "Uncle Tom," shuffled his mortal coil an instant previous, would be refuse to enter the peatyate simply because St. Peter had allowed an "Uncle Tom" to preede him. The negro, as a race, has progressed rapidly during the past thirty years, in truth, more than the whites had attained during a similar previous period of time. Their continued illiteracy and ignorance of business affairs, previous to the little us pleasantness in the early sixties, was through a condition made and applied by these self-same Democrats. Notwithstanding his apparently obnoxious presence in the South the Negro is a fixture in these United States of America—a citizen by constitutional right—a coming factor to be reckoned with in the business industries of the country. He does not seek social recognition—all he asks is a right to live and a chance to earn that living and he will do the rest. Generally speaking the negro is loyal to his friends, and we have do not that we could name several Afro-Americans within the confines of this city who have more education, in intelligence and refinement than any one of the politicians that may compose the aforesaid convention of discriminating law manufacturers—and their brains will not be located in their feet, either. The demoralized negro, with a bad character, was an unknown quantity in the days of saul lang syne, for the praises of his virtues were ever sung by the democratic auctioneers throughout the South, when he had a mowed value to his master. Now, when he has an opportunity to retaliate by casting his batlot with the party of Lincoln, they must seek a method of disfranchisement under the guse of a bankrupt education—when all of his dissolute tricks were copied from his white instructor. Do some of them sell their votes? Yes, so does the white man. Do some of them steal, lie, chest and gamble? Yes, so does the white man. Do some of them indulge in the red fluid that cheers and whose manufacture is a noted industry of the South? Yes, the Negro likes to do just what the white folks do. Be fair with the Supreme Power for whom you erect costly church edifices, be fair with yourself and your fellow men. Live up to the golden rule a little closer, at least so far as present conditions will permit, for the time is fast approaching when this will be made necessary to do, by the people and for the people, irrespective of color, nationality or political affiliation. Our advice is to give the Negro a chance no matter where he may be found, even in Kansas, if you please. The above we clip from The Repubcan, a white weekly of this city. The article speaks for itself. From the New York Tribune. An old negro named Ephraim, having been sworn on the jury in a murder trial in one of the southern states, for some time stubbornly resisted a verdict of guilt for no other apparent reason than his strong aversion to capital punishment in general. Finally the foreman explained to him that it was a question either of hanging the priso er or hanging the jury, and that it all depended on him. "Fo Gawd, sah," replied Uncle Ephraim. "on dem reasons de pris'ner am slo' guil-ly." ```markdown ``` VOL. 14. NO.11 DISFRANCHISEMENT OF SOUTH KINN NEGROES.

Papers--Will the Problem Solved? DR. PARKHURST ON THE NEGRO For some years past Dr. Chas. Parkhurst, of New York, has been interesting himself in public questions and aiding in the initiating and prosecuting of public reforms, and while he has not shown himself possessed of infallible judgment, he has established a reputation for candor and courage. Recently Dr. Parkhurst went with a party of Northern friends into the Southern States for the purpose of viewing the negro residents of that section at close range and getting a correct knowledge of their character, condition and treatment. The result was not favorable to the blacks. Dr. Parkhurst reports that the negro is despised in the south and north alike, the only difference being that the South is honest in its expressions, while the North lies. He declares that conferring suffrage on the ignorant blacks was a great blunder, and that the office of all true friends of the negro now is to counsel silence on that subject and a patient endeavor to fit himself "for what God and the country and the future may save in store for him." Whatever we may think of Dr. Parkhurst's conclusions, there can be no fault found with some of his statements of fact. There is a prejudice against the regro, and it is plainly apparent in the North as well as in the South. It does no good to say that this ought not to be; as well say that the wind should not blow. The prejudice is a race prejudice and generations of association have failed to eradicate it. The No th, however is more kindly disposed than the South. In the Northern states the negroes have rights and privileges which are denied in the South. Our people are willing that they should have a fair chance in life, with opportunities for intellectual, moral and social improvement. They are also protested in their rights of citizenship. A Kansas City judge recently said from the bench that the negro is more disliked to-day than ever before, but that statement would be difficult to prove. There is perhaps less toleration of some of his criminal acts, but the law-abiding, well-behaved blacks stand as well as they have ever stood. With increasing education and intelligence they are growing more respectable and consequently more respected. In other words they are arriving at the condition in the North that Dr. Parkhurst would have them aspire to in the South. Doubtless it was a mistake to cloth the Southern negro with suffrage as soon as he was liberated. Everybody seems to be agreed on that. It would have been a mistake equally serious to have conferred the same rights upon a large body of ignorant whites. But it is unprofitable to discuss that now. What is done is done, and cannot be undone. The problem before the country with regard to the negro is how best to help him on his way to a higher and better condition of usefulness and happiness, and an intelligent consideration of this problem is as much a matter of duty and self-interest in the South as in the North. K. C. Journal NORTHERN AID ISN'T NEEDED. Governor Sanford, of Alabama, Says the South Can Adjust the Negro Question Montgomery, Ala., April 30.—Governor W. J. Sanford, in a telegram to a New York paper, says: The South does not object to the efforts of philanthropists to assist the negroes by education or otherwise. This state generously divides the educational fund between the races. The Southern people have the kindest feeling for the negro and have no 'objection to any aid he may receive. The negro problem is necessarily largely committed to the white people of the South, and I doubt if it can be successfully undertaken by those who live hundreds of miles away and are not informed of existing conditions. Misdirected efforts might retard rather than advance his condition." $25.00 NEEDED The special committee, Dr. W. H. Hudson, Rev. A. M. Ward and W. J. Grant, having in charge the prosecution of the case of burning Fred. Alexander, have got down to work. They have made arrangements to begin the suit. The attorney fees will be $35.00. They must have $10 with which to make contract. A special appeal is sent out from the Union this week by Rev. Grant. The people should rally to it. --- AMERICAN STATUS OF THE NEGRO. The Journal has received a number of communications asking why the whites in this country should feel a prejudice against negroes. In the comment in these columns yesterday on Dr. Parkhurst's recent statements, the question is answered in the only way it can be answered. It is a race prejudice, reinforced by the fact that comparatively few negroes have as yet come up to the level of intelligence that commands respect and admiration. It is unprofitable to quarrel with facts. We simply have to deal with them as we find them. It is as useless to argue that such a prejudice ought not exist as to argue that water courses should not overflow. That it does exist none but the tot lily blind can deny. In Kansas City we see it in separate churces and separate schools for the two races; in the exclusion of negroes from the leading hotels and restaurants and saloons; in their denial of admission to the lower floors of theaters, and in a hundred other ways. Waen, if ever, this prejudice will disappear is one of the unsolved problems. It is a quiescence for future generations to settle. The negro, however, is better off to-day—that is in the North—than he ever was before. This shows progress. He is accorded the right, and he has the opportunity to make of himself an educated, useful and prosperous citizen. Just to the extent that he utilizes this opportunity will he rise in the world and be respected. And in this he is precisely on the level with his white neighbor. Socially he may have to continue to flock by himself, but this should be no great hardship. He is numerous enough to supply his own society. His business and political rights are guaranteed to him by the laws of his country and his state, and he is in the substial enjoyment of them.—K. C. Journal, Wednesday. NEGRO GROWING UNPOPULAR. So Says Judge Wofford—Public's Business Is to Educate and Not Make Use of Him. "Your people are more unpopular than they've ever been since you were brought from the jungles of Africa by the Southern slave trade. You are getting more unpopular every year. People ought to be more patient with you. Instead of politicians and speakers and preachers using you for your votes and all that kind of thing, they ought to educate you—that's what they ought to do—that's what they'll have to do before they're through with it." Judge Wofford spoke in this manner in the criminal court Monday to John Williams, whose sentence he reduced from five to two years in the penitentiary. Williams was a negro porter in a Fourth street resort, where he helped Inez Conwell, an inmate, to stab Lola Sample, another inmate. Both the women were white. Inez Conwell was given only six months in jail and $100 fine, an equivalent of ten months only in jail. "I think the jury hit you too hard," said Judge Wofford, to Williams. "Inez Conwell ought to have been sent to the penitentiary. As a matter of fact, she inflicted a greater wound on Lola Sample than you did. The jury knew that. But they also knew that you were a black man fooling with white women. Whenever a negro is tried by white jurors, as he nearly always has to be, that sort of thing always goes against him. You people ought to learn one thing"—and then the Judge used the language above quoted. WHY DRAW THE COLOR LINE. A committee of colored men in New Orleans, anxious to improve the status of their race, has issued a circular r of advice to the Negro population of that city that is winning universal applause from the press of the South. Among the principles of action set forth in the circular are the following: Fight the dives and do s and begin the fight for the Negro's own heartstone. Help the authorities to sustain and enforce the laws of the city and aid in the detection of criminals. Respect the law and the officers of the law, and quit shielding Negroes who are guilty of criminal offenses. If an officer attempts to make an arrest do not resist or in any way interfere with him. Stop looking upon the policeman as a common enemy. Quit loading around corners. Go to work for a living. These rules of action deserves to be copied everywhere, and if adhered to will issue in a greatly improved status for the colored man. But why restrict their application to the colored race? the problem of moral improvement knows no race distinction. There are white loafers as well as black loafers. The value of being industrious and law abiding is not measured by the amount of pigment in the skin. The same evils that degrade the Negro have exactly the same effect on a white man. Undoubtedly the two greatest crimes that disrupt society in those sections where Negroes are numerous are outrage and murder, and both of them originate from the same cause. Losing instead of working, with abundant time for a lacious talk and some lioner, inflames the passions and leads to crimes against chastity. And the race of the male brute makes no difference in the result. The very largest number of mutuates in the South is proof positive that white men were the first offenders against the chasity of women of the alien race. An observance of the rules laid down by this Negro committee on the part of all Negroes would doubtless end the crime of outrage, for which so many Negroes have been lynched. A like observance of the same rules on the part of white men would likewise elevate the morals of the white men of the south. But the Southern press is loudest in its praise of those rules which enjoin upon the Negroes the observance of law and the assisting officers of the law in ferreting out those guilty of crime. It is said, doubtless truthfully, that the Negroes habitually shield those of their own race guilty of crime. Is not the same charge equally true with respect to the white race? The white race of the South has time and again disgraced the South, as the white men of the North have time and again disgraced the North by disrespect for law and the officers of the law. Men have been murdered in cold blood, lynched, shot to pieces, burned at the stake, without trial, sometimes without adequate proof, and in at least one instance for no other crime than that of aspiring to oe postmaster. And yet the criminals guilty of these horrible barbarities have been shielded and protected by men of their own race. If it is wrong for a Negro to shield one of his own race guilty of pity larceny, it is not a greater wrong for white men to shield white men guilty of the most heinous crime known in the law? If it is incumbent upon the Negro to refrain from interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty, is it not equally incumbent upon the white man to show the same difference to the majesty of the law? Why draw the color line in the application of these excellent principles so aptly set forth by colored men for the guidance of their fellows?—St. Joseph Daily News. THE BRIGHT SIDE So many critics constantly picture the dark side to the Negro's progress and condition. So few tell of his wonderful achievements. We admit that much of the criticism of a part of the race is true, and when his short history is taken into consideration and the conditions which were left to him as the result of a cruel bondage, and the conditions of his surroundings since, but little more might be expected, even of the more unfortunate and worst classes. But now why not look on the other side at the progress and improvements of the better class? Whether it be admitted or not, there is a distinct class of Negroes in this country with an ambition and an aim as lofty as that of any other people, and, in spite of the opposition and discouragements, they are making their mark in the varied avenues of life. We are often amazed as we go around and mark their progress in their intellectua, moral and religious attainments in the buil ding up of homes, of schools, colleges and of churches. RACE'- NOTES Dr. J. Rowland, a colored physician at Pine Bluffs, Aik., has been named by Commissioner Evans as a member of the Jefferson county pension board. The advocate general of the national department of the G. A. R., is James N. Wolfe, a leading colored lawyer of Boston. Paul Laurence Dudar, that writer of vare stories and oxquisite verses, is doing more to lift his race to a higher plane in the estimation of the world than any amount of enforced respect brought about by legislation could ever accomplish. A genius of any type commands the world's admiration, and this is doubly true when he appears in the field of letters. It matters little what may be the color of his skin or the slant of his eyebrows, he will come in to possession of his own. Could the colored race of America produce a Shakespeare, all the tribes of the earth would intuitively and gladly pay homage to its greatness. Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Paul Laurence Dudar and other representatives of the colored race are names of which a united people, black and white, may well be proud. Who shall say with the coming years the race that has already produced such master minds shall not attain to a masterly eminence in the fields of high thinking, when time and richer opportunities have trained the mind to the highest degree of intellectual achievement. Miss Laura Lewis, sister of Mr. Bye1 Lewis, will graduate at the High School this term. We are only two glad to see her leap into womanhood, armed with that weapon that it takes to bring to her and others of her class that ability, the assurance, that brave women have that it takes to make the nation.

Interesting and Other Very Newsy Bits Gathered by our Correspondents at Topeka, Kansas. EDITORIAL PICKINGS. Your correspondent had had his ear to the ground for quest of vibrations caused by the boom started for some of our representative statesmen for a place upon the next Republican State ticket, and he has as yet heard none; the fact of the matter is we do not believe that we shall, and we further believe that unless the matter is taken on an organized effort, all talk along that line will be fruitful, as the party now in question think that they are firmly entrenched in their hold on the State for some time to some and they will not be particularly impressed with the idea of giving the negro such a position as a state office. We believe that with the proper effort one of the World's Fair commissioners ships can be secured by the colored contingent of the State, and we know of no one whom would be a more representative man in that position than Judge F. Bradley, of Kansas City, and if this is to be secured it is time that every effort along that line should be put forth. Visitors to the Capital City hereafter will find and visit the Governor at the Executive Mansion. The State has acquired probably the finest residence in the city, and it will hereafter be the home of the Governor of the State, who ever they may be. Jackson's Band has planned to give a grand concert at the Grand Opera House on the 9th, inst., for the benefit of the band. The band is sorely in need of new uniforms, and they are in this way endeavoring to raise funds to buy them. The Parker-Hughes controversy was decided Monday morning in Judge Hazeen's Court, in favor of Parker. There is great rejoicing in the Parker camp and an equal amount of sorrow among the Hughes' side. They die hard, and they now say that they will carry their case up to the Supreme Court. In the meantime Judge Hazeen has issued a pre empty writ of mandamus to the City Council commanding them to canvas THE law passed recently in Arkansas making all drinkers secure a $5.00 license, would result in enormous revenue in this part of the vineyard. MAYOR CRADDOCK is starting right in on the ground floor to do business, and "to do right." It is no wonder the people is opening their eves. Now, with a continuation why can't we soon have a greater Kansas City? Ir seems that Bro. McKinney, of the Houston Van, and Bro E. E. Cooper, of the great Colored American, Washington, D. C., together with a Hair Straightening Company have "mixed things" up. Bro. McKinney uses some pretty stiff language in a recent issue of his paper. We don't presume to know anything about the transaction, but we would like to see the affair straightened. Since this hair company has the greatest straightening process in America perhaps they could get a compromise by a goodly use of their stuff. It might be though that Bro McKinney is a victim of too much hair straightening." JUST THE DIFFERENCE. The difference between a black thief and a white thief is easily told by any reader of current topics. The black thief will steal a bun from a bakery, the white thief steals the whole bakery. The black thief goes into an office and steals a note for $10.00 due Aoril 31st, any old year, white the white thief steals a sight draft for anys thing above $10,000, and so on adnaltum — Dally Recorder. AMEN! AMEN!! It is not so much how a man spends the Sabbath as how he lives the six days of the week, that tells whether his religion is a reality or a mere form and fashion—Heuston Van. The Kansas City, Mo., police size up things rather nicely in efforts to carry their point whenever it comes to a negro. It might here be said that the Missouri police beat the world for jumping at concussions, and in these conclusions they are about as near right as heaven is to hell. Only a few days' ago a poor and friendless, slightly demented negro, named Wm. Dudley, was ar- he vote according to law and give Parker his certificate of election. This contest for county officers before the Republican primaries in June, promises to be a lively one. There are about twenty five entered in the race and as there is only five to win, it is hard at this stage of the fight to pick the winners. Miss Ogeal Wilson has returned from Chicago, where she has been attending one of the leading music institutions of that city. Miss Wilson is a violinist and it was along that line which she taking this course, has exhibited considerable talent as a violinist, and no doubt will be heard from in the musical world. The Knight Templars are preparing for a grand time in this city on May 15th. Several visiting commanders will lecture and a large turn out is looked for. LOCALLY. Rev. A. M. Ward returned from Philadelphia Wednesday evening and reports a very pleasant trip. Revs. Baeote and W. T. Vernon were in the city this week on business. The Ladies Sewing Circle met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. McKee, East Madison street. Mrs. Gottie Murdock died Saturday evening last of heart failure. The remains of Mrs. Baughman was brought from Chicago last Saturday, and interested in Topeka Seminary Sunday. Miss Katherine Harris entertained the Golden Rod Club on Friday, from four to five p. m. The Victoria Art Club met Saturday with Miss Lutie Bass. Read this paper and get the news. (Only one dollar a year.)

Immediately afterwards the white whites and the police concluded that all the slugging of white women that has been done in Kansas City lately was done by this slightly demented negro and a great big hubbub was raised. Last Saturday night while the negro was still confined in jail another white woman was slugged. Now who did it? Perhaps next week another poor and friendless negro will be chased out from somewhere and charged with the crime. We are not in the business of protecting negro criminals, bbt think that every man should have justice meted out to him in law, and that a little discretion should be exercised by police officials that they may be sure they are right before going ahead. THE SECOND WARD DEMOCRACY THE SECOND WARD DEMOCRACY Whatever else may be said of the noble old Second Ward, in the future it can be truthfully said that it has two of the most popular young men as Counselmen that ever represented any section of the city—two young men that have grown into manhood in our city, and stand today recognized as the coming great lights in the affairs that are destined to shape a depressed and tax burdened city, one that will take its place in the ranks of "Greater cities," fit places to live and call home. We refer to that respectable and hustling business man, George Gruble, J., and that able young lawyer, Jno. E. McFadden, they are Democrats and stand upon their dignity as such, but in the discharge of their duties in behalf of the people, party lines are unknown. The negro citizens of this Ward feel grateful for their efforts and results in behalf of them, in common with all other citizens. They have already won the highest esteem among all classes, with a year and two years more respectfully to their credit, May their actions for the right be in keeping with that of men whose purity always brings a fitting reward in the future. We will pay our respects next week to Mayor Craddock and the Blaek Brother under Democracy in this city. Tales of Two Cities. James Bheares, brother of Rev. McNeal, who has been ill for sometime, is now improving. Pleasant Green Baptist church, Rev. G. McNeal, pastor, will baptize on May 12th.

Miss Annie Taylor, one of our bright young ladies, is olerk in the new negro venture, the Mosby Co-Operative Grocery Co., at 347 Minnesota avenue. It is with extreme pleasure we note this fact and earnestly hope that the day is not far distant when the negro can open more enterprises that worthy young men and women can find employment. Let every negro, if he cannot do more, spend fifty cents a week at this establishment. The details and list of presents of the marriage of our popular young people, Mr. Henry L. Mobiley and Miss Dove Burdette, this week, will appear in our issue of next week, owing to the incompleteness of the list of gifts.

The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, "ball rising in the throat," violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occurrences—are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and serious derangement of the female organs. Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The cause, however, yields quickly to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I wish to speak a good word for Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For years I had ovarian trouble and suffered everything from nervousness, severe headache, and pain in back and abdomen. I had consulted different physicians, but decided to try your medicine, and I soon found it was giving me much relief. I continued its use and now am feeling like a new person, physically and mentally, and am glad to add one more testimonial to the value of your remedy."—Mrs. M. H. LOWEES, 2108 Valentine Ave., Tremont, New York, N. Y. Writing to Mrs. Pinkham is the quickest and surest way to get the right advice about all female troubles. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She advises women free. Following is an instance: Mrs. Haven's First Letter to Mrs. Pinkham. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I would like your advice in regard to my troubles.

My blood is not in good condition. Hoping to hear from you, I am." MRS. EMMA HAVEN, 2508 South Ave., Council Bluffs, Iowa. (June 3, 1899). MRS. Haven's Second Letter. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I wish to express my gratitude for what your medicine has done for me. I suffered for forty years with women trouble. Every month I flowed very badly. I got so bad that I could hardly do my work. Was obliged to sit or lie down the most of the time. I doctored for a long time, but obtained no relief I began using your remedies—Lydia E.

Two bridges across the Kaw river, to cost $12,000 each, will be built in Riley county this summer. One will be three miles above Manhattan and the other at Ogden, near the west one of the county. A young married man dropped into Downs a few months ago and by his "gentlemanly demeanor" won unlimited credit confidence. This week he suddenly disappeared and his friends find themselves $300 shy. A Girard man gave his wife $5 to get him a bottle of whisky. She got a quart and when he asked for the change she told him she was a Buffalo, and now he is gunning for the cuss who put her onto that joke. The cost of maintaining the eight charitable institutions for the month of March aggregated $19,907.31, while the salaries of employees amounted to $14,297.07, making a total cost of $23-.204.38. There are in all the institutions 2,999 patients and pupils. To care for these the services of 522 employees and attendants are required. The cost of maintenance is the least at the Osawatomie asylum, where it is only thirty and two-fifths ceda day for each patient. Probably the largest cow in Kansas is owned by E. Tyner of Brown county. It is nine feet and eleven inches long, five feet eight inches high, nine feet in girth and weighs over a ton. The grandmother of the cow was a twin, the mother was a twin, and the cow itself is a twin. Although it is only 4 years old it has had seven living calves, giving birth twice to twins and once to triplets. The cow is nearly a full-blooded Hereford. Stand up for Kansas. Four small boys who have been persistently stealing rides from Osage City depot up to the Missouri Pacific crossing and annoying trainmen were nabbed by the brakeman and have been spending the week cleaning crossings and cracking rock for the city. John Nelson, a business man of Ottawa, lost a pocketbook containing $200 in cash and several hundred dollars in notes a few days ago. Thomas Wilkinson found the wallet containing the cash and notes and returned it. As a reward for his honesty Nelson bought Wilkinson a set of furniture costing $100. A force of forty men, most of them veterans from the National Soldiers' home, are at work setting out 27,000 apple trees on the farm of ex-Governor E. N. Morrill in the southern part of Leavenworth county. When this lot of trees is planted, which will be in two weeks, there will be 64,000 trees set out in one compact body of land, making it the largest distinctive apple orchard in the United States, so far as known, in the world. Work on the state capitol was commenced in 1866 and up to date it has cost $3,123,12.73. Dr. E. Conkey, of Indianapolis, a traveling physician, was shot and dangerously wounded at the Ward hotel in Wellington. He detected a burglar trying to gain entrance to his room by cutting out a door panel and raised an alarm, when a confederate outside fired through a window, the ball striking the doctor in the shoulder, severing an artery from which he nearly bled to death before assistance arrived. In the confusion the thieves escaped. The fly that loafs around a blacksmith shop isn't afraid of a hammer. SPRING CATARRH MAKES PEOPLE WEAK AND NERVOUS MISS ANNA BRYAN OF WASHINGTON, D. C.

The summer's heat kills babies and little children because their little insides are not in good, clean, strong condition. Winter has filled the system with bile. Belching, vomiting up of sour food, rash, flushed skin, colic, restlessness, diarrhoea or constipation, all testify that the bowels are out of order. If you want the little ones to face the coming dangers without anxious fear for their lives, see that the baby's bowels are gently, soothingly, but positively cleaned out in the spring time, and made strong and healthy before hot weather sets in.

Miss Marie Coats, President of the Appleton Young Ladies' Club, writes the following concerning Peruna: Appleton, Wis. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O. Gentle men— "I find Peruna an excellent spring and summer medicine and am glad to can the attention of my friends to it. When that languid, tired feeling comes over you, and your food no longer "I find Peruna an excellent spring and summer medicine and am glad to call the attention of my friends to it. When that languid, tired feeling comes over you, and your food no longer tastes good, and small annoyances irritate you. Peruna will make you feel like another person inside of a week. I have now used it for three seasons and find it very reliable and efficacious."--Marie Coats. Mrs. Al. Wetzel, 21 South 17th street, Terre Haute, Ind. writes: "Peruna is the greatest medicine on earth. I feel well and that tired feeling is all gone. When I began to take your medicine I could not smell nor hear a church bell ring. Now I can smell and hear. When I began your treatment my head was terrible, all sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud noises. Three months ago I dragged you like a small; now I can walk as briskly as you can, and see the doctor that said I was not long for this world, and tell him that Peruna cured me."—Mrs. Al. Wetzel. If all the tired women and all the nervous women, and all the women that needed a tonic would read and head the words of these three fair ladies who have spoken right to the point, how many invalids would be prevented and how many wretched lives be made happy. Peruna restores health in a normal way. Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in this way restores the functions of every organ. If it is the stomach that is out of order, and the digestion impaired, Peruna quickly makes things right by restoring the mucous membrane of the stomach. If the nerves tingle, if the brain is tired, if the strength is flagging and the circulation of blood weakened by flabby mucous membranes of the digestive organs, Peruna reaches the at last by giving to these membranes the vitality and activity which belongs to them. The pelvic organs are also lined with mucous membrane which in the female sex is especially liable to derangements. Peruna is an absolute specific in these cases. The women everywhere are praising it. No other remedy has ever received such unqualified praise from such a multitude of women.

TINIO AND ALEJANDRINO Only One Important Chief, Cailles, Still Out — General Tinio Surrendered With All of His Command — Alej- andrino Has Been Discussed as Aguinaldo's Probable Successor. Two important cablegrams have been received at the war department from General MacArthur at Manila. In the opinion of the officials, the news contained in them marks the almost complete collapse of organized rebellion in the Philippines. The cablegrams are as follows: "General Tinio surrendered with his command at Sinai. He will deliver all men and guns in his command as soon as they can be gathered together. This completely pacifies the first department, Northern Luzon, for many months the worst in Luzon. "Colonels Clipiano Callao and Gregorio Katibas, Malvars' best officers, surrendered to Colonel Jacob Kline at Lipa, April 26, with three officers, 108 men and eighty-six rifles." Tinio is said to have been, with Alejandrino, one of the highest officers in the insurrectionary force. He was in command of Northern Luzon during the famous chase after Commander Glimore. Mulvars, whose colonels surrendered to Kline, was also one of the best known Filipino leaders. He was Lawton's most formidable foe and commanded the insurrectos at the fight at Zapote river, the most serious battle fought in the Philippines. He has confined his operations to Southern Luzon, which never has been completely subjugated and Lipa, where the surrender occurred, has long been one of the principal insurgent arsenals. It is said at the war department by officers recently back from the Philippines that there now remains in the field in Luzon only one chief whom they are particularly desirous of catching, namely, Callles, the head hunter. This man has violated every rule of warfare, and it is not expected that he will be taken alive. Later the following cable message, dated at Manila, was received from General MacArthur, announcing several other important surrenders in the Philippines: "Juan and Blas Villamor, leaders Abra, surrendered Bangued, April 27; now engaged assembling scattered commands; delivered arms. Agilap, ex-priest, leader Ilcos Norte province, Luzon, surrendered at Laag, April 28." The report that General Alejandrino has surrendered is confirmed. He was looked upon as the possible successor of Aguinaldo. Padre Agilpay, the ex-communicated Filipino priest, who preached the doctrine of holy war against the United States, has also surrendered. INFORMER HUNG IN EFFIGY Sympathy at Kansas University is With the Students. The sophomores of the Kansas university at Lawrence held a class meeting and adopted resolutions of sympathy for the nine sophomores in suspension, and it was decided to circulate a petition for their reinstatement. This petition will be numerously signed, as a large majority of the students are in sympathy with the unfortunate nine. Even the juniors who were intercepted on their way to the promenade think the sentence too severe. The disciplinary committee, however, was forced to mete out punishment as a junior lodged complaint against the sophomores for taking his collar and tie, which he evidently prized very highly. The informer was hung in effigy on Adams street, the main approach to the university, and a placard bearing the inscription, "Judas the Second," hung on the effigy. The faculty's rules concerning the May pole flight are meeting with the approval of the students. The fight will be pulled off as usual, but it will be made uncomfortable for students who resort to brutality. Seized $5,000 Worth of Wine in Seattle Deputy collectors of internal revenue seized in various hotels and restaurants and saloons in Seattle, Wash., upwards of 150 cases of imported champagnes and Rhine wines for failure to have revenue stamps attached. The property seized by the officers is valued at between $1,000 and $5,000. The Kalser's Search for News. Emperor William recently gave orders for a long list of newspapers to be laid before him daily, instead of clippings, as heretofore. Besides perusing upwards of two score German papers, he glances readily at two French journals, two English, one American and three Austrian. An Oklahoma Bank Robbed The Blaine county bank at Watonga, Okla., was robbed, the vault blown open with dynamite and about $1,800 taken. The funds were insured. E. S. Wheelock is casier and manager. Books and papers were not seriously damaged. National Treasury's Cash Balance. The treasury statement shows a cash balance, exclusive of the $150,-000,000 gold reserve, of $158,207,875. Of the above amount $95,545,133 is gold. Will Retain General Smith at Manila. General James F. Smith, who is now collector of stores at Manila, is likely to be retained in that place by the Philippine commission. He will be mustered out soon as a brigadier general of volunteers. Jowan Kills His Sister Max Heck, who runs his father's farm near McGregor, Iowa, shot and almost instantly killed his sister, Mrs. Ewellworth, at the breakfast table. It is thought he was temporarily insane. He was arrested FIRE DAMP EXPLOSION Five Men Killed and Several Others are Injured. An explosion of gas occurred in the mine of the MacAlester Coal Company at Alderson, I. T., in which five men lost their lives, seven were injured and another is reported missing. The killed are: Emanuel Taylor, colored. Wiley Clark and brother, colored. Andrew Pescol and Domineco Wesoluty. Those injured are: Ed Andrews, colored, burned; Pat Woods, burned, not seriously; Paul Gotakvery, seriously burned; Mose Garrett, colored, arm broken. A man who lives with Joe Petrovitch and a man who lives with George Darling were burned, the latter severely. A negro was taken out with a broken knee. Joe Petrovitch is missing. It was not known at the time whether he was killed or had come out and gone home. Two others were temporarily overcome by fire-damp, but soon recovered after being brought out. The explosion occurred about a quarter before 7 in the morning at about the midway between shaft five and slope seven which lead to the same mine. About 125 men were at work in the mine at the time. It is not definitely known now the gas ignited, but it rather seems probable some of the men fired a shot that the regular fireer had not fired. The shot firers enter the mine in the evening after the miners leave, and fire all shots or blasts that miners have prepared. Sometimes the shots are not well prepared and the shot firers refuse to fire them. Occasionally in these cases men afterwards fire shots themselves, although against the rules of the mine. It is thought this was done by some of the men who were afterwards killed or injured by the explosion. WATERFALL 300 FEET H'IGH. Another Natural Wonder Discovered in Yellowstone Park. Word has just been received of the discovery of another natural wonder in the Yellowstone National park, by James Latherman, deputy game warden for Wyoming, who found a waterfall 300 feet high, which he named "Lost Falls." The falls are in Box canyon, two and one-half miles west of Hell's Half Acre. A person can go within 100 yards of them and never be aware of their presence. The water plunges from a comparatively level to a sheer depth of 300 feet or more. A dense growth of timber overshadows the sheet of falling water and a person can walk to the very brink without realizing his danger, except for the warning thunder of the tumbling waters. Mr. Leatherman says a trail can be easily cut to the place, and believes it will become more popular than Yellowstone Falls, owing to its attractive surroundings. "JACK THE RIPPER" CAUGHT Detectives Attired as Women Apprehend a Famous Criminal. The notorious "Jack the Ripper," who has assaulted and mutilated eighteen women, has been caught at Ludwigshafen, Baden, rednanded by two detectives attired as women. A dispatch from Berlin said that the Bavarian police had captured the man who for several months previous had been terrorizing Ludwigshafen by a succession of outrages such as were committed in the Whitechapel district of London years ago by a man who was termed "Jack the Ripper." The man then taken into custody was a butcher named Damian. He was subsequently released. Fatal Explosion at Muskogee. An explosion occurred in C. L. Reeaves's at Muskegue, I. T., a big boiler exploding, killing Jack Harlow, a blacksmith, and fatally injuring Charles Masey. Harlow was a white man and Masey a negro. The explosion was felt all over the city and tore the whole end out of the machine shop. There were several other men at work in the shops, but none were injured. The loss will amount to $1,500. Harlow leaves a large family, Violated His Parole. Nathan Browning, a convict whom Governor Stanley paroled recently, has violated his parole and an officer has gone after him. He is at Saline. This is the third convict to violate his parole and the governor is becoming somewhat discouraged. He stated that he would stop issuing paroles for a while. O'Nell Succeeds Klplex Mayor Harrison of Chicago has sent to the city council for confirmation he name of Captain Frank O'Neil as chief of police, to succeed Chief Joseph Ripley, resigned. The name meets with much favor and has been confirmed without opposition. Captain O'Neil has been a member of the force for many years, and has an excellent record. No Case Against Voorbees James P. Voorhees, of Washington, a son of the late Senator D. W. Voorhees, who was arrested in New York charged with being an accomplice in the robbery of a tailor shop, was discharged from custody, the complaining witness having failed to make out a case against him.

In a few weeks the government will take the contract off the hands of the contractors for the new mint in Philadelphia, and then the United States will have the finest, costliest and most complete money making establishment of its kind in the world. The granite structure was commenced two years ago and will cost about $2,000,000, including the mechanical equipment costing $200,000. There will be twenty-four coining presses in the new mint. BAKED BY DAVID Baggage by Spetia L.P. As a further accommodation to its patrons, arrangements have been made by the passenger department of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company, whereby at the nominal charge of 50 cents per piece, to pay for transfer, baggage may now be checked through from the principal stations on its lines, to any hotel, residence or steamship dock in New York or Brooklyn. Instead of checking to Grand Central Station, New York, only, and arranging after arrival there to have your baggage properly delivered, save yourself trouble by asking local baggage-masters to forward your baggage by special delivery. A particular style of check is used for this purpose, and as soon as your baggage reaches Grand Central Station it will be promptly delivered at the address desired without further attention on your part.—From the New York Mail and Express.

The land is in the states of Durango, Tamaulipas, Coahuila and Vera Cruz. In the course of the next four months 60,000 Mormons are expected to locate there. The Mormon colony in the state of Chihuahua was recently enlarged by the arrival of about 2,000 settlers from Utah. Wreglitches Bit Unmasked Man. An Italian medical paper describes the results of an expedition sent out by the government to study the mosquito of malaria. They went to one of the most malarious regions in the kingdom, but as all wore protective masks only one man out of 104 got malaria, and he, it was discovered, was in the habit of displacing the mask at night in order to smoke. English Commander's Wings Clipped. In a memorandum recently addressed to Lord Salisbury, prime minister, General Lord Wolsley says that "my position as commander-in-chief of the army has become like a fifth wheel to a coach. I have neither the supreme authority exercised by the secretary of state, nor the administrative powers conferred on those below me." FROM DEATH'S DOOR: Hillsdale, Ill., April 29th.—Much interest has been aroused here over the case of William Marks, who has been in a dying condition for several months with an apparently incurable Kidney Disease. The leading physicians of this place had pronounced his case a hopeless one, and others from Port Byron, Genesee, and Davenport, Ia., had attended him, and in a consultation decided that he could not live. In desperation, his nephew inquired of Mr. L. F. Giles, a local druggist, as to a last resort. Mr. Giles suggested Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which had just been introduced here. The results were marvelous. Mr. Marks immediately began to improve, and within a few weeks was able to be up and about, completely cured. His cure is the talk of the neighborhood, and is considered nothing short of a miracle. There appears to be no doubt that this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, will cure any case of Kidney Disease, for the more malignant forms, such as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and Dropsy, yield readily to its remarkable influence. These forms of Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto been considered incurable, and have baffled all medical skill, and yet, this new remedy has cured every single case in which it has been used. in this neighborhood. The doctors themselves are amazed at the wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are accomplishing in Rock Island County. sionarous to Galveton Mrs. J. C.

MANY STRIKES LABOR ORGANIZATIONS MADE DEMANDS MAY 1. MOSTLY AMONG BUILDING TRADES Contracts Not Renewed—Cooks and Waiters Quit Work at Frisco—Restaurants Have Hard Time Feeding Their Twenty-two hundred union cooks and waiters struck at San Francisco because the Restaurant Keepers' association would not sign the union agreement for shorter hours and increased wages. The American Smelting and Refining company at East Helena, Mont., employing 600 men closed down. The eight-hour day law, which went into effect May 1, is responsible for the shut-down in a measure, as the company undertook to reduce the wages of blast furnace men 20 per cent in consequence of shorter days. The men agreed to work at 10 per cent reduction, which was not accepted. Twelve hundred machinists in Buffalo, N. Y., and probably 200 more in Erie county, outside of Buffalo, struck to secure a nine-hour day without a decrease of pay. By order of the local miners union, 250 men employed in the Saugertie Union mines, at Telluride, Col., struck. The strike results from dissatisfaction with the so-called contract system employed in mining ores in the stopes. The union plumbers in all but nine of the twenty-two shops in Grand Rapids, Mich., struck to enforce a new wage scale. The employers refused to treat with the union. All journeymen*plumbers of Youngstown, Ohio, struck. They insist that threading of pipe and similar work now done by apprentices shall be done by the journeymen. The journeymen plasterers struck for an eight-hour day with nine-hour wages. All the bricklayers and masons of Elizabeth, N. J., to the number of 400, went on strike. At Yonkers 750 bricklayers, stone masons, plasterers, and hod carriers went out. In both instances the men demand higher wages. Two hundred carpenters and joiners, about one-half the total number employed in Waterbury, Conn., went on strike to enforce demands recently presented. Nearly 600 carpenters refused to go to work pending the signing of the wage scale for the coming year. The carpenters demand an increase of 80 cents a day or $3.29 for eight hours. The union plasterers and plumbers struck at Indianapolis, Ind., the former for an increase of 10 cents an hour, and the plumbers against having apprentices sent out to work with them. The building trades inaugurated a strike at Portland, Me., to enforce a demand for an eight-hour work day. Union carpenters numbering 350 struck at Lowell, Mass., for an eight-hour work day. All the union carpenters at Sheboygan, Wis., struck to enforce a new wage scale. Ten thousand workmen are affected by an agreement reached at East Liverpool, Ohio, between the manufacturing potters and the operators.

WHEAT PROSPECTS FINE Oklahoma Grain Inspector Says the Louse Has Disappeared. C. T. Prouty, of Kingfisher, Okla., territorial grain inspector, in an interview, said: "I have been traveling all over the territory, also have reports from my deputies, and in regard to the condition of wheat you may say that the prospects are the finest since the opening of the territory to settlement. The growth is thick and rank, and with an increase of over 20 per cent in the acreage planted even the record breaking crop of last year will be eclipse this year, barring, of course, unforeseen accidents before harvest. In all my experience I never saw finer prospects, and when threshing is over, Oklahoma will easily lead the procession, acre for acre, as one of the greatest area of wheat producers. "In regard to the aphis, or green plant louse that has been reported as having nearly eaten the wheat plant off the face of the earth, while I only speak for Oklahoma I wish to say that the damage done by this insect is mostly imaginary. The facts are that while there were undoubtedly plenty of these insects on Oklahoma wheat, the cereal grew so fast as to render the efforts of the insect to destroy it futile. Of late the green louse has almost entirely disappeared, it having fallen a victim to another bug, a red-colored insect, that feeds on the lice but does not damage the wheat."
