CONFLICTS OF THE AGE. Yet there are other conflicts more terrible and destructive in their nature than famine, war or riot. A stream cannot flow higher than its source, neither can a populace rise higher in the galaxy of republics than the people which com- pose it. The next war of our country will not be a civil conflict to liberate a class from the galling yoke of bondage, but an awful drama, an impressible conflict between labor and capital. This awful conflict, the opposition to class, is not only grazing at the vitals of our own land, but universal in its extent. The two opposing forces are the two classes of labor. On one side, arrayed in pomp and splendor, is capital wielding the power that brings nations under subjection, defies kings and dethrones monarch. On the other is the motley moung of labor fighting with earnest vigor to keep back the aching pangs of starvation. Capital and labor, though each dependent upon the other for their existance, are trying to reach the same goal by directly opposite routes. They grapple and cope as do armies surge after struggle and struggle after struggle, neither side weakens, the fortresses and bulwarks of both armies are battered, but no flag of truce, no surrender, no victory. From every quarter comes the news of discontent. From every long since, in the beautiful city of London, bathed by the Thomas was a scene of bloodshed and riot. Ten thousand men, women and children were driven from Travalgar square like dogs from Travalgar square, like dogs from their prey because they bloodyed and riot. Ten thousand men, women and children were driven from Travalgar square like dogs from their prey because they begged for bread and increase of wages. But the voice and eloquence of a Gladstone sounded in their behalf, the halls of carvannement reebuilt and reechoed the words of refon, the countries of South America whose recent exultant shouts of victory were born on every breeze, are now in a serious condition. The noise of clashing armies and clamor of discontent is beamed on every hard. Is the situation in our beloved land less perilous or our forces stronger to enable us to gaze on crumbling empires and devastated territories. Our struggles are just as great. The bombs of the Hay Market riot and the cries of half a million of daily tolls of the East and the West, are sounding in our ears. The nihilistic and real spirit among labor must be broken up and the spirit of love planted in its stead. NEGRO HURE TO STAY. This is your country stay here. Those who want to go to Africa, let them go but for me here I propose to live and die. Go to work, accumulate wealth, buy your homes, go into business and educate your children.

The Stunning Blow Delivered by Parker Prevented Czolgesz From Kill—ing McKinley. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. —A sugg eston was thrown out in the executive de- partment, to-day that it would be preper for the American people, who prompt action possibly saved the president's life. The would-be assassin himself c m plainneb that it was the stunning bow delivered upon him dy Parker that pre- prevented him from firing another shot. Inquiries are being made for Parker's full name and history. Lenox, Mass. —Society is very much stirred here over the invitation given by Morris K. Jesup, the New York dianancier, to Booker T. Washington, the Negro orator and industrial leader of hit race, to visit him at his splendid s ummer home, Belvoir Terrace. Mr. and Mrs. Jesup, have also an—nounced their intention to give several dinners in Wash- ington's honor during his stay with them. The in-vitations are not yet out, but it is ex-pected that the best people of the summer colony will be asked to meet the colored leader. There is little chance that color prejudice will show itself. It is more likely that the action of the Jesups will set the fashion for other folks and open the door of the best homes to Washington. The invitation of the Jesups, will, it is said here, be a great deal toward removing the prejudice against the colored race when it becomes known throughout the country. Mr Jesups is recognized as one of the most broadminded and most useful citizen in the country, and the stand he has taken against race prejudice has deepen—e.g. for him among the thinking members society here. JEWELS CROWN MEMORY'S CROWN Truth of intercourse is something more difficult' then to refrain from open lies. It is possible to avoid falsehood and yet not tel the truth.—R.L. Steveson The greatest imperfection is in our inward vision; while we are so sharp-sighted as to look into others, we are almost invisible unto ourselves.—Sir Thom s Browne. Knowledge may not be as courtesan for pleasure and vanity only; or as a bond woman to acquire and gain for her master's but as a spouse for generation, fruit and comfort.—Lord Bacon. The Temple of Honor ought to be seated on an eminence. If it be opened through virtue, let it be remembered, too, that virtue is never tried out by some difficulty and struggle.—Burke. Keep thine eye turned inwardly upon thyself, and beware of judging the actions of others. In judging others a man labors to no purpose commonly errs, and easily sins.—Thomas A Kemple. All vice stands upon a precipice. To engage in any sinful course is to run down the hill. If w: does let lose the propensities of our nature we cannot gather in the reins and govern them as we please—it is much easier not to be gin a bad course than to s op when begun.—Tilotson.

The twenty buildings on the 300 acres of the Malua Training institution, which is twenty miles from Apia, were all erected by the students, under the direction of their teachers. Fifty acres of the property has been cultivated, and 900 cocoanut and 1,200-bread-fruit trees have been set out. The food supply for the institution is obtained from the neighboring waters, which abound in fish. Each student cultivates a garden and raises sugar cane, yams, bananas and taro. A. Bad Reputation. In Bloomsbury, London, was formerly a region known as the Field of Forty Footsteps. It was frequented by rough characters, and it is related that a struggle between two brothers 'took place there. The footprints of the men were indelibly impressed in the sod and no grass would ever grow there. The place was built upon at the beginning of the century. EDITORIAL PICKINGS We would suggest in case the au- thorities were in a quandary what to do with Czolgosz that to save time and trouble, they turn him over to sheriff Everhardy and his crowd at Leavenworth Kans. Its peculiar that these latter day assassins have such awful names. It is grettifying to know Me- Kinley may live. Let every parent remember that an education is the foundation of all future usefulness and success in life, and it is also the guarantee of respectable citizenship, and the only safeguard of protecting, not only our rights, but our possessions and life itself. If you would have your boy and girl able to stand up and compete with the very progressive people of the dominant race of this country, you must see to it that they obtain a liberal education; which, coupled with good, moral and religious training, will much toward their success in after life. A good liberal education is the foundation upon which every trade, industry, business or profession depends for success: with it every field, of usefulness opens to the young man and young woman, without it every door is closed and barred to his aid her advancement. Why a young person in these days cannot fill acceptably the most menial position, if they are unable to read and write. The cook the chamber maid the waiter, the porter, the driver and all are bandcapped if they are unable to to read and write, and will find these avenues of employment closed against them it they lack in this particular. The question of education is doubly important to the race now, as it is being made the issue upon which our disfranchisement is based - Guide. --- DEWEY achieved a victory, Hobson won fame, Teddy Roosevelt won the Vice Presideney, Sampson an Schley are scrapping over praises to be given, all of them have had their stories weaved into poetry and song by bards—but who will tell the story of "Parker," the loyal old son of Ethiopia, whose black and brawny muscle saved at least temporary, if not permanent, the life of our noble president, William McKinley, from the aim of an assassin. The loyal old sons of Ham though spurned with contempt lynched burned and driven from home, areyet the most loyal and truest citizens of whom our country can be batt! Who can truthfully deny? They have followed a flag, given up their lives in defense of a country that offer them not as mash protection as it does a brute who attempts to murder the highest officer in the land. Ought not the American people, the proudest in all the land, hang their heads in shm for the brutal treatment they accord the negro, the white man has always had in the negro his most faithful friend, or ally, yet on the sliest provocation he treats him with more contempt than he does any other nationality upon the globe. Why? Is one of the unsolved mysteries of today. If a negro had just been accused of an attempt on the President's life—his carcass would to-day be swinging from the boughs of some trees, are the winds, would be scattering his ashes over mother earth, in some secluded spot. He would not have had the privilege of being interviewed in this world God is hastening the day when the white man will accept the universal brotherhood of man, the trend of the times cannot be mistaken. The continued loyalty of the negro will eventually melt the hardened sentiment of years. Of Mr. Parker and the Negro the Kansas City Star has the following to say: Parker, the colored man who felled the would-be assassin of President McKinley with a blow of his powerful fist is by no means an exceptional sample of his race. There are thousands upon thousands of Afro-Americans who would have gladly performed the same service and rejoiced in the opportunity. There is no class of people e in this country more thoroughly loyal to the government than the negroes. They have displayed this fine quality in a variety of different ways-by their kindness and devotion to the soldiers in the Civil war by the alacrity with which they enlist in the army, by their faithful service in the field and by their almost universal abstention from criticism of the government and its institutions. This cheerful and unwavering fidelity to the land to which they were brought as slaves and where they have suffered oppression and hardship, is an attribute which ought to be accepted by the people as a generous atonement for the ignorance and other faults in the negro which excite prejudice against him. The patriotism of the colored people is spontaneous and unfaltering, and they is something not to be despised, even under a black skin.—K.C. Star. SUFFRAGE IN VIRGIN1A. FROM THE NEW YORK MAIL AND EXPRESS The suffrage clause of the proposed new constitutions of Virginia is still in committee stage but it is ready for report to the full convention in a form which will doubtless be accepted by the body. The Richmond Times publishes its provisions, upon the authority of one of the committee. They are more conservative then has been anticipated. In out line, this scheme would permit any man of age to register and vote prior to January 1, 1903, who is not disqualified by orime and who can read any section of the constitution, or "understand" it, when read him. This registration is permanent, and all who get on its lists are there for life. After January 1, 1903, there are substituted two qualifications for registration. The applicant must have paid taxes on $150 worth of property and poll tax of $1,50; and he must be able to prepare and mark an Australian bailout without assistance. It will be observed that in this there is no "grandfather" clause" as in the case of the proposed Alabama constitutions adopted by Louisiana and North Carolina. It is that feature, designed to save the votes of illiterate whites through a provision as to ancestry, that is to be tested in the courts in a Louisiana case. The decision of that case will apply also to North Carolina and Alabama. The proposed Virginia plan follows rather the method of Mississippi, only in the latter state the ability to understand" the constitution is made a permanent instead of a tem porary qualification. In Virginia that requirement will save the ballot to the illiterate whites The subsequent tax and ballo-making requirements will, it is calculated, bar from the polls about one third of the colored vote and give to the whites of Virginia a large majority. Gradual education of the colored race and their acquirement of taxpaying power will in time restore to them the franobise. SUFFRAGE IN ALABAMA The Alabama constitutational convention has completed its plan for disranchising the negro, and the instrument as amended will be submitted to popular vote. An ingenious aid to its ratification is the provision it contains for extending for two years the terms of the sheeriffs who are to be the election officers when th' constitution is voted upon. The ceasus showed that last year there were 232,900 whites and 181,568 blacks to votage in Alabama. It is *expected* that the new francise restraints will permit about 30,000 negroes to vote. Until January 1, 1903 all men may register for voting who have served, or whose ancestor, have served, in some war, or who have a good character and understand the obligations of citizenship. Those who register within this period will secure the suffrage for life provided they pay their poll taxes. After the date mentioned, in order to register men must be able to read and write an article of the United States Constitution and must show that they have been engaged in some lawful occupation for the greater part of the preceeding year, or that they or their wives own $300 worth of property. These provisions will allow intelligent negroes to register. They discrim nate against the shiftless blacks, although a few whites may be barred if they are strictly applied. The effect of the Alabama constitution, provided it be adopted, will be practically the same as that of the suffrage restrictions of Mississippi, Louisiana and the Carolinas. For a time the Republican vote will doubtless be diminished, although it has been small enough for years. In the end' as has often been pointed out, the results may surprise the party managers. The fear of the negro vote has kept the Democratic organization of the South solid for years. It has accepted national candidates whom it disliked, and issues which it repudiated, because it regarded the race problem as paramount. With this great motive for Democracy'ic unity gone a white Republican party may arise in the South. The discontent of influential Southern news CITIZEN. papers and the disaffection of a South ern States Senators may be the fore runners of the revolt. There are now five Missouri towns or considerable size along the Frisco line in which no Negroes are permitted to live. There are several smaller towns in the outch which must be classed as "colorless." In this list is classed as "colorless." In this list are two Frisco railroad division towns—Monett and Newburg. The thriving mining city of Aurora, a few miles east of Monett is Pegroess. It is said that a few Negroes are employed in the mines underground, but no negroes are permitted to settle in the city of 3,000 inhabitants. Webb City, west of Pierce City, and about midway between Joplin and Carriage, denies to Negroes the right of settlement. This is a place of about 10,000 people. South of Monett, is Cassville, the capital of Lawrence county, of which Monett, with her 3,500 population, is the metropolis. One Negro was premitted to dwell in Cassville until a few years ago, when he died. Farther south is Rogers, just over the state line, in Arkansas, on the Frisco line to Texas. Rogera has no Negroes and will permit none to live within its limit. Pierce City the scene of the murder of Miss Wild and the consequent three lynchings is a place of 3,000 population. Since the lynching no person bearing a trace of Negro blood has been seen in the city. Old "Ucle" Ben Kelley was the last of the Africans. He was permitted to remain two days later the rest of the colored citizens to look after his chickens. When he took the train for Wagoner, I. T., Pierce City became white. Four and a half mile south west of Pierce City lives a Negro farmer with his family. "The old man is all right says the Pierce City people," "It is the young ones that we don't want around. Nevertheless the people of Pierce City and their neighbors from Monett and the surrounding agricultural community, is getting rid of the young ones, drove out of the town every man, woman and child of color. In the order issued by the mob there were no exceptions. All persons of Negro blood were included. Many who were driven out are almost white some of them the offspring of white men. Some are old and many infirm. So we are infant in arms. Many owned their own homes. All were compilé to the for their lives Gounod's Last Opera Few people are aware that Goundon once, in a moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and, though he afterwards repented of his action, he was quite unable to recall its melodies. Goundon's opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his resolution. Rare Old Bible Found. A wonderful old Bible has just been discovered in Venice, the fortunate finder being Leo S. Olschik, a well-known antiquarian of Florence. It is in five large volumes, and was printed in Rome in the printing house of Don Pietro Massimo in 1471 and 1472. Soon after it came from the press it was purchased by a patrician family of Venice, and it was in the archives of this family that Olschik discovered it. A Czar's Novel Visiting Card. From the Ladies' Home Journal: The Russians tell a story of the late Czar Alexander III, that upon the rare occasions when it was incumbent upon him to pay a call he would take a gold coin bearing his "image and superscription" and twisting it between thumb and finger leave it in lieu of # card—the only man in Russia who had strength for the feat. American Bottles the Best American bottles are preferred to all others for the export trade, and especially in warm climates where American and English goods come into close competition. American glass is said to stand tropical climates better than the English, the reason being that it is better annealed. Transvaal Minerals The Transvaal is the richest country in the world so far as minerals are concerned. In 1877 England annexed the Transvaal, but evacuated it in 1881. In 1848 England conquered and annexed the Orange Free State, but evacuated it six years later. RoeHorses Well Trained The Boer horses are remarkably well-trained animals, and when the Transvalares desire to form an ambus or fring line, their horses are taught to remain stationary as soon as they feel the retins dropped over their necks. Best Heads of Hair Fair-haired people have the best heads of hair, 140,000 to 160,000 being quite an ordinary crop of hairs on the head of a fair man or woman. Can't Whistle on Sunday The trains are to be forbidden to whistle within the limits of the city of Toronto on Sunday. DRY CREEK LOCALS. Red Mike's saloon was raided last night and ten gallons of whisky and a caddy of Willow Twist tobacco was stolen. The fact that the Three Leaf Temperance club held a late session last night may furnish Mike a clue. Bill Feverdrops was released from the city jail this morning on the promise that he would behave himself and help his wife do the washing. Bill is a rattling good fellow when he is sober, but it is hard to catch him that way. The Carrie Nation society held its second meeting in the rear of Bill A-maker's hardware store last night. The meeting was opened with prayer and closed sine die. This final action was taken owing to the high price of hatchets in Dry Creek. Joe Smith lost a valuable dog Monday. It was thought at first that someone had given the dog poison with malicious intent, but a post-mortem examination disclosed one of Mrs. Smith's breakfast biscuits in the dog's stomach. Joe has our sympathy. The Buzzard gives divine notice right here, once for all, that no more free church notices will be published in these columns unless a ticket to the whole performance accompanies the copy. We are down on benging societies and religious lotteries anyway, and we don't propose to be a willing accomplice to the game unless there is something in it for us. Sam Lander, of Coyote Gulch, was in town yesterday, the first time since he buried his mother. Sam hadn't been here two hours until he was fuller than a bath sponge and he insisted on shooting the ears off of a gentleman from Omaha. Sam was finally chased out of town by the marshal, and as we go to press some of the boys are trying to coax the man from Omaha to come out from under the meeting house. A box of dried up cake from the feasting boards of the Hodges-Blatz wedding reached this office two days after the charming Miss Blatz had thrown herself away by marrying Tom Hodges. If Tom thinks he can buy space in this paper and reinstate himself in our innocent affections by sending us a box of cullings from his table, he's mistaken. He was afraid to invite us to the wedding because he knew we used to be sweet on the girl he film-flammed into marrying him. The bride has the sympathy of the entire community.—Dry Creek Buzzard. STAGE WHISPERS. "Tsar Foris," a new play by Count Tolstot, will soon be staged at Nijmogorod. Francis Wilson has in view a plan to revive all his old-time successes next season and this is being discussed now by his managers. Sybil Sanderson is giving a series of concerts at Budapest, after which she will sing at the Wintergarten, Berlin, and then return to Paris. It has been settled that R. D. McLean and Oedett Tyler will be under the management of W. G. Smyth next season, and they intend to make at least two elaborate Shakespearean productions. Sadie Martinot will soon begin a starring tour in "Sapho," under Louis Nethersolo's management, and supported by Olga Nethersole's company. Next season Miss Martinot will star in a new play by Clyde Fitch. James K. Hackett is going to play next season Victor Mape's drama, "Don Caesar's Return," which Richard Mansfield put in rehearsal last autumn, but subsequently shelved because of his revival of "King Henry V." Mrs. H. C. De Mille and Harrier Ford have been at work during the winter on a new play for Richard Mansfield, founded on the life of Reubenbrandt. Last summer these authors went to Holland in order to study the history and atmosphere of their subject. Colored tissue paper is better than white for wrapping up laces and ribbons to be laid away. White paper Old-Time Surgery. A grim souvenir of an old-time was was on view in a cutter's window in the east end of London recently. It is an ebony-handled saw, which, according to the inscription on a brass plate attached to the instrument, was used by a surgeon of the British army to amputate the limbs of wounded soldiers at Blenheim, Malplaquet and Ramallies. Banner Illinois Corn Counties. Very few people, perhaps, are aware of the fact that in the counties of Coles, Douglas and Moultrie, in Illinois, three-fourths of all the broom corn used in the world is produced. The amount used in the whole world is 35,000 tons, of which 27,600 tons are grown in these counties. Too Good a Target.

Just a Sample. On a swaitering Sabbath, in a little church in the backwoods, the perspirer minister, instead of preaching a long sermon, called the attention of the congregation to the figures on the thermometer. "Just study those figures" he said. "It ain't half as hot here as you'll find it hereafter if you don't mend your ways."-Atlanta Constitution. Demand for Athletic Clergymen. An illustration of the growing demand for athletic clergymen was recently given by a country curate, who, says the London Telegraph, received police to quit because he was not a good cricket player. Though unexcepcible in other respects, his vicar declared that "what this parish really needs is a good fast bowler, with a break from the off." The Paris fire department has recently put into successful operation an electric automobile "hook-and-ladder" weapon, which completes the organization of the automobile system which the Paris authorities have had in contemplation, and with which they have been experimenting for several years. The truck carries six men and the apparatus first needed at a fire -ladders, rags and a reel of canvas hose. Queen of Holland is Scientific Queen of Holland is Scientist. Among the many accomplishments of the young Queen of Holland is her devotion to the study of natural history. When she was in London during her minority a few years ago, she and her mother, Queen Emma, made several visits to the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, for the special purpose of studying the minerals. Her majesty is a diligent reader of scientific literature. Too Much to Squander. The last clause of a will which was fied for probate in Washington, D. C. one day recently significantly says: "The net sum of $186,000 left by this will is the financial result of a long life of industry and economy, and if used for good and useful purposes by those to whom it is now given is enough. And if not so used it is too much." Jornets Chase a Preacher At Derby, Coun., the other day, a leading pastor ran madly through the village and disappeared in the woods. A swarm of hornets had nested in the derygman's rural free delivery mailbox. Two miles away the chase came to an end by the pastor plunging into the reservoir. Couldn't Wear Shoes Sumpter, Ill., Sept. 6th—Mrs. J. B. Flanigan, of this place, had suffered with drops for fifteen years. She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctorled all the time, but was gradually getting worms. Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who was very much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmil. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. She is now as sound and well as ever she was, completely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of drops. To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanigan are loud in their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them. the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe use of dropey, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked of remedy ever known in White County. Pork Products Sent to Philippines. A comparative statement concerning the importation of pork, bacon and lard into the Philippines during the calendar year 1900 as compared with the calendar year 1899, has been prepared in the division of insular affairs in the War Department.

Will Not be Taken to Washington Until He is Well—This Will not be Until Some Time in October—President Has Been Moved to a More Comfortable Bed—Stomach Wounds Healed. The condition of the President continues favorable and nothing has occurred to shake the faith the attending surgeons and physicians have expressed that he will recover. The danger from two sources is pronounced practically over. The holes in the stomach proper, caused by the perforation of the bullet, are now considered healed by Dr. McBurney and his associates and the eminent surgeon pointed to the fact that beef juice, fed to the patient last night, was readily digested, as proof of this. Sufficient time has also clapsed to warrant of inflammation where the bullet lodged has disappeared. It is believed that the ball has now become encysted in the muscles of the back and unless its location should prove troublesome later on there will never be any necessity for removing it. Dr. Mann, in speaking in regard to this said he knew a man who lived for years with a bullet in the muscles of his heart. The attention of the physicians is now, therefore, mainly directed to the care and treatment of the wound caused by the incision in the abdomen above the navel, where the operation was performed. This wound is progressing satisfactorily. "Decided benefit followed the dressing of the wound last night," is the way the doctors put it officially. The slight scare which followed the announcement at midnight of the opening of the wound did not have a leg to stand on when fuller details of its insignificant character and Importance were obtained. The "incident," as it is termed, would not have been mentioned in the history of an ordinary hospital case and the physicians debated for some time upon the propriety of making it public. As they had promised to take the public into their confidence, they finally concluded that the redemption of that pledge compelled them to announce it. Their frankness has already had one excellent effect. It has convinced all who may still have harbored doubts as to whether the public were getting the whole truth from the sick room that their skepticism was unfounded.. BOYS ARRESTED FOR MURDER. A Quarrel of Youths in Denver and a Lady Found Shot. Some weeks ago Homer Reahard, an 11-year-old boy, was found dead near his home in West Denver, Colo., with a bullet in his brain. He was thought to have been accidentally shot by a hunter, but the police now believe it was a case of murder. Eight boys have been arrested on suspicion. They are: Samuel and Cassey Gaul, aged 14 and 12 years, respectively; Chester John, aged 14; Ray Pool, aged 14; Henry, Charles and Rey Bruce, brothers, aged respectively 18, 14 and 12 years, and their cousin, George W. Bruce, aged 14. The detectives believe Reahard had quarreled with some of these boys and that he was first stoned and then shot. They assert that they have the evidence of a boy, whose name they refuse to give, on which to base their theory. KANSAS CATTLEMAM ROBBED Willian Cartier, of Topeka, Relieved of $4,500 by Footpads. William Cartier, a cattleman, of Topeka, Kan., well known throughout Texas, sold a bunch of cattle in Mexico recently. Sunday he was in Chihuahua with the proceeds of the sale, $4,500 in his pocket. While strolling about the street after dark Sunday night he was assaulted by several footpads, and, after they had rendered him insensible by a blow with a sandbag or some blunt instrument, he was robbed of all his cash. The police are working on the case, but as yet have unearthed no clue that might lead to the apprehension of the robbers or the cash. IFSSIE MORRISON OUT ON BAIL Bondsmen Qualified at Topca for $72,000—Only $4,000 Was Asked. Associate Justice Johnston has approved a bond for the release of Jessie Morrison from the penitentiary pending the decision of the Kansas Supreme court on her appeal from the decision of the Butler county district court. The signers of the bond qualified for $72,000 and the court asked for only $4,000. All the bondsmen are residents of Butler county. This releases Miss Morrison until the Kansas Supreme court acts. The Negro Came Out Safely. At midnight the barber shop of John Tyler, on South Third street, Cripple Creek, Colo., was blown up by dynamite. From six to twelve sticks were placed under the floor of the frame building at the point above which Tyler was sleeping. The explosion wrecked the building and contents, but Tyler escaped. Windows on both sides of the street for a block were shattered. Tyler is a negro, and has repeatedly refused to join the Barbers' union. Two Killed in Fight With Robbers. Joseph Manshine, bartender at Dettler's saloon, in Springtown, three miles from Leadville, Colo., was killed by robbers at midnight. Manshine was closing up the saloon when two masked men attempted to gain admission. One robber drew a revolver. Dettler, the proprietor of the saloon, killed one of the robbers. He has not yet been identified. If a girl has nice wavy hair she can forgive most anything in the girl who has not. CZOLGOSZ CONFESSES PLOT. Others Beside Himself in the Conspiracy to Kill President McKinley. Leon Szolgosz has confessed to the police that his attempt upon the life of President McKinley was the result of a conspiracy in which many beside himself had a part. So far as can be learned, Czolgosz has refused to mention any name except that of Emma Goldman, but papers are in existence which, if they can be discovered, will result in wholesale arrests, followed by prosecutions. Although Emma Goldman has been arrested in Chicago, it is probable that she will be brought to Buffalo for trial. The center of the conspiracy is there, Buffalo is filled literally to overflowing with agents of the secret service. A search is being made of every sewer that underlies the city, for it is known that in one of them is a package of papers containing the details of the conspiracy and the names of those concerned with Czolgosz in the plot, together with an outline of its ramifications. In his confession Czolgosz told of his attempt to destroy the written evidences of the conspiracy. He has said that time did not permit him to burn the papers as he had desired. Before leaving his room in Nowak's hotel he gathered together all of his papers, taking them from his pockets, from his valise and from the drawers of his table. All were bound together in one package, which he concealed beneath his coat. Czolgozs says that he made a circuitous and aimless trip about the city and that at some point, which he can not now describe, he came upon an open sewer. Into this sewer he cast the papers. Inch by inch the sewers of this city are being searched, and, if such a thing is possible, those papers will be recovered. TRAIN RAN AWAY. Great Northern Freight Out of Control of Engineer and Two are Killed. The Great Northern freight train No. 5 ran away at Skymoil, Wis., and was wrecked, one and a half miles west of Wellington. The cause is supposed to have been defective brakes. The killed: Engineer Frank Dahlgren. Fireman John Campbell. Injured: Conductor Fordquist, lost one arm, head injured. Brakeman Blossom. shoulder broken. Thirty cars are off the track and eight cars are on the track. 11 are on fire. Eastbound passenger train No. 14 is being held at Skymoish. A wrecking train has been sent out and is now working at the wreck. Kept His Arrest Secret. A man who gives the name of John Marmaduke, and says he is from Missouri, is in the county jail at Denver, Colo., on a charge of burglary. He claims that his father was for thirty-four years president of the National bank, of Mexico, Mo., and was a brother of former Governor Marmaduke. The prisoner also claims he was for five years cashier of the National bank of the Republic, of St. Louis. Marmaduke has been in jail two months, awaiting trial, unknown to his people, as he says fearing the disgrace his imprisonment might cause them, he has kept his misfortune from their ears. They will soon know all about it, however, as Marmaduke must appear in court and have his trial set. The Doweltes Routed Again. Four hundred Dowieites invaded Evanston, Ill., a few nights ago, and dedicated their tabernacle in that suburb. When their special train started back to Chicago they were given a parting volley of rocks, eggs and decayed fruit, which broke six car windows and injured two of the party. A number of the others were spattered with eggs. It was only the fact that the Dowieites thought better of their determination to hold an outdoor meeting and to the excellent protection they received from the police that prevented them from being mobbed. After Cleveland Ticket Scalpers Attorneys for the Lake Shore railroad have secured a temporary injunction against forty-three ticket brokers doing business in Cleveland, O. The order of the court restrains them from buying, selling, exchanging or transferring any Lake Shore tickets that were issued on account of the G. A. P. encampment. The ticket buyers have retained attorneys and will fight the case. A Missouri Town Burned Nearly the entire town of Ethel, Mo., is in ashes. The loss is $10,000. The fire is supposed to have caught from a passing Santa Fe engine. The entire business blocks burned, including thirteen business houses and two residences. The fire started in the Lichlider restaurant and the wind was blowing such a gale the bucket brigade could not get within 100 feet of the flames. The girl who is lost in admiration easily finds herself in love. Summer Nearly Over at Nome. Summer is nearly over at Nome. All indications point to an early winter which, after the late spring, will make a short season. This announcement comes by the steamship Centennial, which has arrived from Nome with 425 passengers and one-quarter million dolars in gold. Killed by Foul Air in a Weld. Idek Dilk, of near Thornfield, Mo. was overcome by foul air in a well and died before he could be drawn to the surface. Dilk had gone down to rescue Milan Gray, who recovered.

The man who creeps along bent over, with his spinal column feeling in a condition to snap like a pipestem at any minute, would readily give a great deal to get out of his dilemma, and yet this is only the commonest form by which lumbago seizes on and twists out of shape the muscles of the back. This is commonly known as backache, a crick in the back, but by whatever name it may be known, and however bad it may be, 10 minutes vigorous rubbing with St. Jacob's Oil on the afflicted part will drive out the trouble and completely restore. It is a thing so easily caught, it may be wondered at why there is not more of it, but because it is so easily cured by St. Jacob's Oil may be the very reason that we hear so little of it.

The Delusions of "Tariff Reformers" and Ill-Informed Politicians Ably Dissected and the Truth Clearly Set Forth—People Opposed to Tariff Revision. One of the most comprehensive and conclusive arguments supplied in response to the American Economist's requests for expressions on the subject of tariff revision is that contained in the subjoined letter of Congressman Burkett of Nebraska. There is, for example, a world of sound sense in this statement: "The Dingley bill may not be perfect in its workings in every particular, but would the little that we could hope to better it warrant the risk of the undertaking, especially when we take into consideration the fact that the machinery of commerce and industry are all adjusted to it?" Congressman Burkett's letter in full follows: In response to your letter of recent date asking my opinion of a general revision of the tariff law in the fifty-seventh congress, permit me to say I do not find any demand in the Middle West for tariff revision. In fact, I should say it is not desired. The people are prosperous, and in my judgment they do not forget with what promptness their prosperity followed the enactment of the Dingley bill. In this, I would differ with the eminent statesman from Ohio, General Grosvenor, in his letter of June 1, a copy of which is before me, and wherein he said: "The great danger to the future welfare of the American people lies in the shortness of their memory." The "people" have not forgotten, nor will they ever forget, the disasters in business during the unfortunate period of free trade in this country. The agitation for revision of the tariff laws is neither the voice nor the mind of "the people." It does not sound like "the people"; it does not look like "the people"; it does not come through proper channels to be recognized as of "the people." I have failed to find any expression of "the people" whatsoever, either in election returns or elsewhere, indicating their dissatisfaction with the present conditions. Agitators may always be found. Those who believe in free trade would no doubt like to see the advocates of the "American System" in a clash among themselves as to detail. Persons interested in certain ways no doubt may pretend to believe a revision of the tariff desirable; but neither the voice of the agitator, nor of the free trader, nor the interested one, should be mistaken for the voice of "the people." Some may attempt to name particular fields in our present tariff laws, but the chances are that they are not in sympathy with the general policy of protection. It can be said without doubt that no legislation could be enacted that would suit everybody and every individual's interest. The welfare of the whole American people is the criterion by which the American congress should be guided. The farmer in the West, the planter in the South, the manufacturer in the East and the wool grower in the Northwest and the laboring man all over the country are prosperous at present and in my judgment ask no change. The Dingley bill may not be perfect in its workings in every particular, but would the little that we could hope to better it warrant the risk of the undertaking, especially when we take into consideration the fact that the machinery of commerce and industry are all adjusted to it? Besides, reciprocity is a wisely devised and constructed safety valve to guard against any possible danger of too high tension of the tariff law itself in any particular. A tariff law is the commercial policy of the nation. It is the governor, so to speak, on the commercial and industrial machinery of the nation, and if we would take it off to mend it the machinery would either run away with itself or stop on a dead center. Any threat of tinkering with the law would create such fear in business centers and among the people interested as to do much harm, even if the only excuse therefor should prove to be the familiar philosophy that the bark is often worse than the bite. E. J. BURKETT, M. C., First Dist. of Nebraska Lincoln, Neb., July 24, 1901. WILL NOT SUCCEED. The free trade agitators who are anxious to precipitate a tariff contest at the next session of congress are trying to make it appear that the wool manufacturers will urge a reduction in the tariff on wool, regardless of the effect of such action upon the wool growers of this country. That, however, is denied by an eastern commercial newspaper, which claims to know the sentiment of the wool manufacturers. It says that the attitude of the manufacturers toward the wool growers is the same today that it has been during the past seventy-five years. While it is true that the tariff on wool has operated against the manufacturers of woolens, because it has shut them out of the world's market to a certain extent and deprived them of the chance to make greater profits by purchasing cheaper raw materials, yet the manufacturers have always been willing that the sheep industry should be protected, because they know that without the competition afforded by American wool they would be at the mercy of the foreign wool growers and would have to pay whatever price might be demanded. It has been proved by frequent trials that sheep raising is not profitable in this country without the help of a protective tariff, and for that reason the manufacturers have refrained from serving their own immediate interests by advocating a reduction in the tariff on the raw material. The free traders are exerting every effort to array the protected industries against one another, but they will not succeed in their attempt to induce the wool manufacturers to antagonize the sheep raisers—Cleveland Leader. **HOW IT WOULD WOBK.** The Ohio Democrats have declared for tariff reform and for placing all trust products on the free list. Right on the heels of this declaration comes a sweeping reduction by the American woolen trust of prices of woolen cloths, and the large number of woolen manufacturers outside the trust are considerably agitated at this procedure. It thus appears that a trust may reduce prices as well as advance prices. But it still remains a trust for all that, and, according to the Babcock plan and the Ohio Democratic plan and the plan of the tariff revisionaries generally, the tariff must be repealed on all imports competing with domestic trust products. An application of this wonderful theory in the case of the Woolen trust would doubtless work some hardship on that corporation, for the tariff on wool would still stand, as nobody claims that wool growing is monopolized by a trust, and the cloth makers of England who use low priced wool would take immediate possession of the big American market. Such would be the result unless, as might easily happen, the domestic Woolen trust, finding that the repeal of the tariff had swept every non-trust woolen mill out of existence, and finding the domestic field thus cleared of all troublesome competition, should do as the salt companies of the United States and Europe are doing—form an international trust that would control production, prices and wages. Of course, we should see half a million people now working in nontrust woolen mills thrown out of employment and half a billion of capital invested in buildings and machinery rendered valueless. But the domestic free trader and trust smasher wouldn't let that worry him. What he wants is to kill the tariff, no matter who or what else is killed. HOW THEY ENVY HIM. TARIFF AND THE STEEL TRUST. Discussion of Hon. J. W. Babcock's idea of removing the tariff from all products of the steel trust has brought out some interesting facts about the steel trade. It has been shown that big as the big trust is, it by no means controls the steel trade in this country, there being many establishments, some of them employing a large number of men, which have no connection with the trust. It seems to be generally admitted that the removal of the tariff on steel products would not injure the big trust to any marked extent, but it is claimed that it would necessitate an immediate reduction of wages in all steel establishments not in the trust. This claim, which is being made by those who ought to know whereof they speak, is causing many who were at first inclined to favor Mr. Babcock's idea to entertain doubts of its wisdom, and if it be substantiated by unprejudiced investigation, which a number of members of the house are quietly making, the bill for the repeal of the tariff on steel products will not be supported by a corporal's guard of Republicans in either branch of congress at the coming session. Desirable as many consider it to curb the power of the big trusts, the Republican majority in congress is not going to be stamped into the support of anything of that sort without carefully considering it from every point of view, and they will certainly not allow any legislation to get through that will reduce the wages of American workingmen.—Baraboo (Wis.) Republic. The Very Worst Tariff reform is the paramount issue in the platform adopted by the Ohio Democrats: Now evidently the people will fall over themselves in their haste to confer on the Democratic party the authority to reform the tariff. They will take the record of that unfortunate period from 1890 to 1897 and study it. They will see that the Democrats began in the former year by crying for a reform of the tariff, and they kept at it until the people actually came to think the fellows had some grand patient scheme for giving everybody forty acres and a mule, at least, and so the scheme was entered upon. The result everybody knows—the worst piece of bungling ever any legislation suffered, and the worst period of tough times the country ever saw. It is too soon to expect that the voters will want to see the experiment repeated. Walt till the voters of 1890 and 1892 are all dead. Then there will be a good chance to hornswoogle the country again.—Champaign (III.) Gazette. Tariff Reform Bosh. "Tariff reform was never more urgently needed than now, when the production of the country so far exceeds its power of consumption that foreign markets are a prime condition of its continued prosperity." This is the language of the Ohio Democratic platform, and it is calculated to make one smile. We have just closed the books of a fiscal year, and they show that we have sold more of our commodities in foreign markets than in any other year in our whole national existence. Then, where is the suggestion based upon wisdom, that we should reform the tariff in order to increase our foreign trade? It is more satisfactory than it ever has been; therefore, what is wrong?—Knoxville (Tenn.) Tribu Not at All. Certainly the argument that the removal of the tariff is the way to suppress the trust is decidedly untenable and a greater menace to the United States than any trust can be—New Castle (Pa.) News. All pleasure must be bought at the price of pain. For the true price is paid before you enjoy it: for the false after you enjoy it—John Foster HE WILL LIVE PRES. M'KINLEY'S DOCTORS SAY HE WILL RECOVER. HAVE PUT THEMSELVES ON RECORD Make Announcement Publicly Through the Press—Danger is Now Very Remote—Will Carry Assassin's Bullet as Long as He Lives—No Attempt is to be Made to Remove It. The corps of eminent physicians and surgeons in attendance upon the wounded President Wednesday morning committed themselves without reservation to the opinion that their patient was out of danger, and that only the possibility of complications threatened his life. They did not give assurance of his recovery collectively over their signatures in an official bulletin, but they went a long way toward it individually and separately. Each of them, with the exception of Dr. Rixey, who did not leave the Milburn residence, placed himself squarely on record, not privately to the friends of the President, but publicly, through the agency of the press, that the danger point had passed and that the President would survive the attempt upon his life. "Of course, we will all feel easier when a week has passed," said Dr. McBurney, the dean of the corps. "We would like to see every door locked and double locked, but the danger from possible complications is now very remote." As an evidence of the supreme faith he holds, Dr. McBurney, after the morning consultation, made a trip to Niagara Falls and returned to New York. He could reach Buffalo again in ten hours if the unexpected should happen and there should be a change for the worse. The little piece of lead in the muscles of the back is giving the physicians no concern whatever. Unless it should prove troublesome to the President later on, he will probably carry this grim souvenir of the anarchist within him till the end of his days. The doctors say that, once encysted, it can do no harm. The X-ray machine is ready for instant use, however, and if there is the slightest inflammation or pain in the vicinity of the bullet, an operation will be performed. The vice president, members of the cabinet, Senator Hanna and the other distinguished friends of the President, who have remained at Buffalo to await the issue, accepted the verdict of the physicians as practicall conclusive and there was an exodus of those who considered their presence no longer necessary. Vice President Roosevelt left his home at Oyster Bay, Senator Hanna returned to Cleveland on business, to be gone two days, and Controller Dawes went back to Washington. Abner McKinley, the President's brother, will remain a few days longer, but his family have returned home and Mrs. Duncan and several other relatives of the President have gone, Judge Day, long and closely associated with the President, returned to Canton. The five members of the cabinet still there will remain a few days longer, rather as friends who have been intimately associated with the President for several years than as public officials. The President's physicians have been impressed with his remarkable recuperative powers and the rapidity of his improvement. Ordinarily an incision for such an operation as was performed upon the chief executive should heal within three weeks, but in the President's case he may be strong enough to be moved a little sooner. The President will be taken direct to Washington as soon as it is safe to move him. Within the sick room many evidences of the President's improvement were apparent. The President himself began to show confidence in his ability to care for himself, and from time to time he would carefully turn himself to get a more restful position. The nurses naturally observed with care these evidences of growing strength and courage, and were ready to see that there was no undue tax on the President's strength, or the straining of the wounds. These slight movements from side to side are all that he has attempted so far, and if is too early yet to think of his sitting up in bed or of any other marked use of his muscles. A SHOOTING AT WINFIELD. An Implement Dealer and a Farmer Ex- change Shots. E. E.

Emma Goldman Has Been Arrested In Chicago Emma Goldman, the anarchist agitator, under whose red banner Leon Czolgozs says he stands, whose words he claims fired his heart and his brain to attempt the assassination of the president has been arrested in Chicago. She disclaimed all but the slightest acquaintance with the president's assailant; she denied absolutely that she or any anarchist she knew was implicated in any plot to kill the president. She said she believed Czolgozs acted entirely on his own responsibility, and that he never claimed to have been inspired by her, as he is quoted as affirming. The president, she averred with a yawn, was an insignificant being to here—a mere human atom whose life or death were matters of supreme indifference to her, or to any anarchist. Czolgosz' act was foolish. Yet, she discovered, it probably had its inspiration in the misery which the Pole had seen about him. Violence, she said, was not a tenet in the faith of the anarchist, and she had not advocated it in Cleveland, where Czolgosz has said he heard her, nor elsewhere. Miss Goldman arrived in Chicago Sunday morning from St. Louis. Her immunity from arrest while in the Missouri metropolis and up to her arrest in Chicago, afforded her much amusement. She told, in sentences punctuated with laughter, of her capture. In her conversation with the reporters—and she talked with them at length twice during the day—the excitement she was laboring under was suppressed, and only once did she break down completely. That was when Captain Schuetter led her from the office of Chief of Police O'Neil to the cab which was waiting to convey her to the women's annex to the Harrison street police station. For a moment she became a woman, pure and simple, and cried. In a moment, however, this exhibition of distress was over, and when she put her foot on the step to mount the carriage she was again Emma Goldman, the "highest priest of anarchy," as she has been styled by her followers. She said her purpose in coming to Chicago had been to assist the anarchists who were arrested there several days ago. She had intended to give herself up to the police, but delayed it for one reason and another until the police she had derided so much had taken the matter into their own hands. She was held on a warrant sworn out by Captain Collieran charging her with conspiracy to murder the president. As her co-conspirators were named the anarchists already in jail. It is expected that the city will ask for a continuance of the case, pending advices from Buffalo. "I shall insist upon an immediate hearing," she said in speaking of a postponement being asked for by the city prosecutor. "They want me to go to New York without requisition papers, but I will not go; I know the legal ropes, and I'll make them fight every step. And I'm not afraid to go at that." THE POPE IS TO ACT. He Will Take the Initiative in an Anti-Anarchist Movement. "The pope has been so impressed by the attack upon President McKinley," says the Rome correspondent of the London Daily Mail, "that he intends to take the initiative in joint action by the Christian powers against anarchism. He is writing an important encyclical on the subject which will be published next month." The question of how to deal with anarchy is discussed on every side. It is felt that, if the President happily recovers, he will not have suffered in vain if the outrage results in stronger measures to suppress anarchism. All the London morning papers have leading articles on the subject, and almost all of these are identical in tone. Satisfaction is expressed that the panic measures, such as vigilance committees, wholesale arrests and the like, contemplated under the first shock of the outrage, have given way to calmer suggestions. The proposals are now advocated by the British and foreign papers. The first is to hold another international conference with the view of the organization of an international police force, whose sole duty would be to keep watch on such criminals. The second is to treat anarchist propaganda as crime. The Daily News alone utters an editorial warning against the danger to free government and free opinion involved in such repressive measures which "would easily result in confounding the innocent with the guilty." According to the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Express, United States Consul General Mason has expressed the opinion that an international conference will meet are long to discuss the subject.

Mary Marks, 18-years-old, was placed on trial at Wichita, Kan., charged with the murder of her illigitimate baby.

The Marks are wealthy farmers of this county. It's not the man that breaks his word oftenest who is the best authority on parts of speech. Used the Mails to Defraud. A. E. Lawrence, one of the promoters of the Kansas Fruit Commission company, of Topeka, which swindled fruit shippers out of considerable money, has been arrested at Rocky Ford, Col., by the federal authorities. In conducting his business at Topeka it is charged that he used the mails for fraudulent purposes. It's the hard rubs of the world that make a man bright.

Audrain county farmers resent the insinuation that it will be necessary for them to buy their corn in the kingdom of Callaway this winter. Clinton is anticipating a railroad race between the Colorado and the Frisco to see which railroad will complete its new line to that town first. The people of Lee's Summit have decided to hold a big picnic this month in place of the annual two days' fair which was abandoned on account of the drought. The feature of the Labor day picnic at Baldwin park, Quincy, was a public wedding, but it is not to be inferred that the performance of a wedding ceremony is a novelty in Hickory county. Since a frightened team ran away and nearly beat the band, both literally and figuratively, during a Saturday night concert at Jamesport, the people of that town who enjoy good music, insist that teams must be kept off the square hereafter. Notwithstanding the drought, the Cass county fair was held on schedule time and it was a success. There were many who advised the promoters of the fair to abandon it, but it was held anyhow and reflected much credit on the promoters and the county. Upon being told by their pastor that their church debt amounted to $400 the Wilton Methodists raised $270 in fourteen minutes and soon after secured the entire amount. That's the way the drought is striking some of the prosperous towns in Central Missouri. The manual that is being prepared by the secretary of state will be ready for distribution early in October.

The husband called six physicians and after the woman had been treated for several hours, and had endured excruciating pain from the antidotes she admitted that the whole thing was a bluff. The Joplin papers are asking what the husband should do, ask his wife to take some genuine poison, or pay the bills of the six doctors like a good little man. An *e*ort is to be made to remove a large oak tree from the wildest section of Arkansas to Forest park, St. Louis, for the Louisiana Purchase exposition. The tree is 160 feet high and twelve feet in diameter at the base. A double tramway will be built from the tree to the river, where it will be floated and towed to St. Louis. It is estimated that this will occupy six months. The tree will be dug up by the roots instead of being cut down, and none of the branches will be trimmed. Audrain is one of the counties in which the corn crop is far from a failure, although in localities, of course, it will be much below the normal. A fairly good yield will be gathered there, despite the drought and some fields will run but little, if any, below the average for the best years. Farmer Munger, for example whose place is northeast of Mexico has corn which will yield from fifty to seventy bushels an acre, and others in the vicinity are similarly fortunate. There will be an abundance of feed for stock throughout the county. The Marshall creamy has announced that it will be ready for business by March 1. Most of the cows of Saline county were marketed during the drought. There is a general manager of a Missouri telephone company who not only manages its financial affairs but repairs instruments and climbs poles. He is Mr. L. Golliday, of Holden. He is a druggist and an expert electrician. When anything is wrong with his lines, Manager Golliday climbs poles and fixes things. He is the only telephone magnate who performs manual labor. Shelbina has a justice of the peace who has held office for thirty-six years. It is intimated that even persons against whom he decides cases vote for him. A Jefferson City young man was fooling with a picture hanging on the wall, when the cord snapped, allowing a corner of the frame to hit the young man so hard that his mental faculties temporarily suspended business. The young man was attempting to turn the picture toward the wall, but there was no chance for a mother-in-law joke there, as the picture was a study in "still life."

Consolation and Confort Who is it that does not wish to be out in the open air or alive in some field of sport, whether it be with the bat, rod or gun; whether we go coasting over the hills and vales on the wheel or sailing over rough waves or into serene coves, it is all sport, and the springing muscles seem to need that it is bound to happen that some mishap will occur. Thus it is that we have sprains in abundance. Light sprains, sprains that cripple, sprains that give great pain, sprains that rob us of sleep, but sportsmen of all kinds have come to know that there is nothing better than the old reliable Jacob's Oil.

Today it is relegated to comparative obscurity, and a monogram, crest or coat of arms is its successor. PAINT RISKS The risks in painting are three: materials, mixing, putting on.
