May the Lord help part of our race to learn to make hay while the sun shines. The Inter-State Literary Association meets in this city during the holidays it is high time the Literary lions were roaring, that the visitors may be accorded a royal good time. Kansas City Kansas has always stood head and shoulders above every other city in the state when it comes to entertaining, we feel safe in predicting, that there will be no exception this year to the rule. We take pleasure in sunnneeing that Mr. Dillard Thompson an ex- cellent young printer and an old tuner in our office [is now at our cases and the paper will soon take on a new spart, we hope not again to lag. The past week we added an other expensive addition to our job department and with the beggining of the new year we put on a new dress, then you can behold the New American Citizen. Thanking our friends for past toleration we have began to move down the line. We understand that a federal plum is about to be shaken from the tree into the out stretched band of a Missourian in the person of Dr. J. R. Crossland of St. Joe., Of course Kansas dear old bleeding Kansas would not mind coming in to town, by getting a little plum if it isn't, full size, neverthale s if our old friend the Doctor is to be rewarded we congratulate him and take occasion to say, that the man is eminently futed for, the place whether it be Recorder of Deeds of Washington or Minister to Liberia Hon. Joseph Butler the young inviable of the 5th ward, won over Dr. L. D. Mabie the office of county commissioner of the 2nd District in Wyandotte County last Tuesday, Mr. Butler is a young man and comes direct from the ranks of labor and has a brilliant future before him. We earnestly hope he may conduct himself in a manner that will ultimately land him high and dry at the top, a success Mr. Butler is a democrat, but one of those broad, generous gentlemen who enjoys the good fellowship and highest esteem of the entire community. We join the boys in one loud and long three cheers for Butler and the Rooster. The question of a separate High School in Kansas City, Kansas seems to be worrying a good many of our white population. We think there is a little premature bluster stirred up. But when you touch the school, you touch the heart of most every Negro, now as far as the Negro is concerned he doesn't mind the separation, but what he really wants is the same treatment and like quarters, If Kansas City, Kansas can support two High Schools with equal facilities alike, then the Negro will have no kick. It is not the desire of the Negro to be hard to get along with, all he wants is fair treatment and an equal chance: THE We believe the Negroes in Wyandotte County are coming to the solemn realization that political parties do not make the men. That in the Republican ranks in this county there is as many Negro hating weak-kneed aristocracy as old Democracy could ever produce, there was a time when the word would be passed down the line and every Negro would dress up to the front, and if a yellow dog was on the ticket called Republican he would get the Negroes vote to a man, The new century undoubtedly produced a new Negro in Wyandotte County, and notwithstanding the whip cracks, Uncle Eph and Uncle Jerry have learned a thing or two, and Prof, so and so and Hon, Mr, Blank the young Negro is not asleep, we would impress upon the Negro that men not party lines must, govern their future affiliations in Wyandotte County politics, perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea in the State. WHO MAKES GREAT NEGROES? WHO MAKES GREAT NEGROES? That the race has produced some great Negroes the entire civilized world will admit but after all no negro is made great by his own race. A Negro can stand in space and lift the world, yet by the mass of his people he will remain in obscurity, when he does something considered in the eyes of a white man, great and he is proclaimed great by them. The race open their eyes for a short duration then literally fall over each other in proclaiming that Negroes greatness. We often wonder if the Negro really has a true conception of what constitutes greatness, or whether he is naturally of such a jealous disposition that he must wait to be forced to recognize true greatness in a member of his race. As it is to-day the Negro does something worthy of note and the white man proclaims him great. TALES OF TWO CITIES. Call up Blue 375 we are always at your service in the news line.

The appalling cruelty and brutality of the massacre of woman and children, as well as men, in the last race riot on the border between Louisiana and Mississippi must depress every well-wisher of the South. Painted savages are no worse and often more merriful than these Southern white farmer of this hunty settled region long cursed with disorder. But this is, fortunately, not the only side of the race question in the same region. Mr. Booker T. Washington has just been passing through Mississippi for the trustees of the John F. Slater fund. He reports that he is "convinced that the race is slowly but surely making progress in every part of the state," and he adds, as we have all been reminded this week, that "the fierce and unreasonable difficulties for the most part occur in the smaller towns and in the country districts, where ignorance is dense." Elsewhere, in the cities and towns, no found the negro gaining stall poin's. Colored lawyers in Vicksburg and Natchez are doing a successful business and "feel that their color does not prevent them from being treated with fairness in the court." In Natchez a negro has the largest and most successful saddery and harness store; in Greenville a negro has the largest stationery store, and in Jackson the leading bakery. A colored man not far from Na chez last years sent in 600 bales of cotton raised on his own farm. White merchants are employing colored clerks, and the reverse is true. Greenville, Miss., has had a colored policeman on the force for 12 years. These men of property and position cast their votes without question and have them counted. The railroads are improving their cars for colored passengers and find it pays to treat these patrons with injustice. When Mr. Washington spoke in Jackson he was offered the state capital in which to speak, and as many white people came to hear him as black. "Taking it all and all," says Mr. Washington, "my eyes have been open by my trip through Mississippi, and I have greater hope for the future of both races than I have ever had before. It is well to balance all this against the race riot which has just disgraced the region. Given the education for which Mr. Washington pleas, and he speaks for colored colleges as well as industrial training, each in its needed measure, and the future will seduce race r. rots and increase race progress. From the Philadelphia Press. THE PARENTS TO BLAME. A young man was recently tried in a Kansas Court on the charge of stabbing another young man. He pleaded guilty of the charge and before sentencing the young man the judge had the following to say to him: "There is your old father and your old mother,'. said the judge, "they ook as if they were very respectable people, but I'll venture the assertion that it is largely their fault that you are here this morning." The judge leaned over his desk and pointed his pensil at the young man. "Can you repeat the Lord's Prayer? he asked. "The what?' inquired the prisoner "The Lord's prayer. Did you ever hear of it" "No, sir." "You never heard the prayer that begins, 'our Father who art in hea veen?'" "Then your parents haven't done right. They look respectable but they haven't done their duty by you. It is a disgrace to civilization that a man comes into this court who never heard the Lord's prayer: That's the one prayer of all prayers. All other prayers made by men are tinkling brass and sounding cymbals compared with the Lords prayer. Every child born into this world ought to be taught the Lord's prayer on its mother's knee. If that was done I would not be kept so busy in this cour and wouldn't have to get out of a siek bed to hear cases like yours. If you ha just known one petition in that prayer, Lead us not into temptation, and nad borne it in mind,you would not be here this morning. Now what is true of this young man and his parents is true of thousands of other young men and their parents, especially among our own people, and it is these we have the most dealing with. We often hear our public speakers and others decrying the fact that so large a number of colored young women are worthless and good for nothing and at the same time put the blame upon them when as a matter of fact the blame rest upon their parents. Children are mainly what their parents make them. One cannot walk the street at night without seeing a large number of boys and girls who have no earthly business in being on the street at that time. They are found standing on the corner, the boy smoking cigarettes, and the girls flirting with the boys. It needs no prop to tell what will eventually follow actions of this kind. Among our people we often hear it said by the elders: "I am not going to allow my children to go through what I had to go through with. Parents allow too much liberty to their children, and the result in too many in stances, is that they are either found in disreputable places or commit some crime and are incarcerated in prison. Mothers are mainly responsible for the acts of their children, for they have the care and direction of them in their early years and it is the mothers band that moulds the character of a young child. Mother you have a grave responsibilty on you you owe it to your child and it should be your desire and prayer that your child should grow to be a valuable and useful person in the community and it will be provided you do your duty towards it.

The Higher Revelation Cordial Manning — There are two things which bring out into activity the powers that lie hid in men. The one is a great force of will which makes a man independent of external stimulus. The other is the tax which is laid upon him by duty and responsibility. Few have such force of will, and many have too little to tax or elect their power. ANOTHER NEGRO BURNED. Guifport. Misia., Nov. 4. A negro whose name has net yet yet been learned was buned at the stake in Perry county, Miss., Saturday night. The crime for which the negro suffered Was committed early in the morning and Mrs. Fortenberry was the victim. She is the wife of one of the most prominent men in that section. She wils beaten into unconsciousness by the negro. Af er relieving consciousness, and while yet almost too weak to move, she began crying for heel, when assistance reached her she told the story of the crime aub described the negro. A posse was organized and a negro answering the description given by Mrs. Fortenberry was caught and identified by her. She stated positively that he was the man who had committed the crime. The negro then made a confession, tellig all the details he had previously denied. An informal court was organized by the members of the posse. The trial resulted in a decision to burn the negro, woo was carried from the house to the exact scene of his crime and burned at the stake High Castle s Not Hovels Henry D, Thoreau—If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost: that is where it should be: no w put foundations under them.

George S. Tyack writes in denial of the theory assocl- ated with William the Conqueror, and says that the old story at one time universally accepted was that William the Conqueror, fearful of plots among his newly vanquished subjects, invent- ed and forced the curfew as a check to such schemes, and it has come in consequence to be often quoted as a badge of servitude and an emblem of tyranny. It is quite evident, however, that the great Norman was not the originator of the idea; and although hhe was probably the first to make it a gencral law in England, tt is more Ukely to have been a useful precaution ‘against fire than an attempted preven tion of rebellion. There is evidence that a curfew bell was rung at Oxford in the days of King Alfred, nearly two hundred years before the Norman in- vasion. The history of that city states that “‘the custom of ringing the bell at Carfax every night at eight o'clock was by order of King Alfred, who or- Gained that all the inhabitants of Ox- ford should at the ringing of the bell cover up thelr fires and go to bed, which custom is observed to this day.” The enforcement of the curfew was no hardship. At a time when pract{- ally no one but the clergy could read and writo, when the amusements of all lasses were chiefly indoor sports, and when every one began the labors of the day. almost at sunrise, there was little, if any, tyranny in the compul- sory cessation of work at eight, while in the nature of the case all recreation ceased at dark.—Youth's Companion. SOARING A DEBTOR. ‘The Persuasive Power Which Lay tv a Lawyer's Business Card. A good story is told of the way a Newark lawyer was tricked by a clever client the other day. The bar- rister was sitting in his office when Mrs. B., a friend, entered, and proceeded to tell him of the difficulty a Mr. C. was in through a loan he had made to Mr. D. Mr. C. was in great need of the money, but Mr. D. refused to return the sum, which was quite a large one. “I think,” sald Mrs. B. to the lawyer, “that it you should take hold of the case you could collect the money.” “All right,” said the barrister, thinking of the neat Iittle fee that would be his after he had succeeded in inducing Mr. D. to part with the sum claimed by Mr. C. “I'll give you one of my cards to hand to Mr. C. If he will step in and see me I'll handle the case for him.” Shortly afterward the lawyer left the city for a few days’ outing in the country, On his return he inquired of Mrs. B, what had become of Mr. C. and his claim, against Mr. D. “Oh, that’s all settled,” replied the woman. “Mr. C. said he just went to Mr. D. showed him youg card, and said he had retained you in the case. Mr. D. paid the money at once.” Now the lawyer is wondering where his prospective fee is coming in. He believes he has a good case against Mr. C. for about 10 per cent of the amount of Mr. C.’s loan, but has not decided whether to press the case or not.—Newark News. Correct Answer Astonished Teacher. ‘The teacher of an intermediate grade in the third ward school was “show- ing off” her pupils before a number of visitors. The spelling class was on the floor, and one small, red-headed boy was given the word “introduction.” He paused, twistd his lips, stared, and then in a faltering way spelled it cor- rectly, and seemed rather surprised that he had done it, “Do you know what the word means?” asked the teacher, “No'm.” “What, you don't know what introduction means?” “No'm.”. “Weil, now, I'l explain it to you. Does your.mother ever have call- ers?” “Yes'm.” “Well, now, suppose that two ladies came to call on your mother. Your mother knows one of the Indies but doesn’t know the other. She has never seen the lady and doesn't even know her name. Now, how would she become acquainted with this lady and find out her name?" “She'd send me out for a can of beer.” ‘As that was the correct answer the teacher had nothing further to say.— Milwaukee Sentinel. A eae a ‘When Mark Twain was in London he frequently dined at a popular literary club, where it was the custom for each member to introduce his guests for- mally, and in set phrase, to the com- pany.

Aprepos of the recent marriage of an ensign in the navy a short time ago who did not have an overabundance of th's world’s goods, some ct the vet- erans at the navy yard recall the story of Rear Admiral Kirkland, who was affectionately known in the navy as “Red Bill.” A young ensign hesitat- ingly found his way into the admiral’s cabin one day, and with a great deal of circumlocution and coughing finally let it be known that he loved the ad- miral’s daughter, and would be the happiest man on earth if he had her parent's consent to marry her. “No, sir!” thundered the admiral. “No, sir- ree! Not now, anyhow. No pauper of an ensign is going to marry my daugh- ter. You'd better wait until you are promoted and are able to support your- self before you think of marrying.” The young officer astounded the admir- al by not retiring precipitately. He even ventured the reminder that the admiral himself had married when he was but an ensign, and that his mar- ried life had been a happy one. “Red Bili” Kirkland glared at the presump- tuous speaker for a moment, and then thundered: “I know I married when Twas an ensign. My father-in-law supported me for several years, too, but I'll be hanged if yours will!”"—New York Times. Bushee: Sad eet Sane During the South African war Rud- yard Kipling discovered, at Cape Town, a hospital without bandages, and in desperate need of them. This too, was in a city where bandages were for sale im many shops. He told an acquaint- ance that he was going to meet that want, and the gentleman at once of- fered to pay for the bandages that Mr. Kipling would buy and take to the hospital. A cart was quickly loaded, and then the author was informed that, under army rules, the hospital author- itles could not recelve supplies from a private individual. “Well,” sald he, “I will dump the packages on the pave- ment before the door, and then tell them to come out and clear up the lit- ter. Perhaps they can get them into the building in that way without tear- ing any red tape. He drove off with the bandages, and the supplies were somehow smuggled into the hospital. a A a a “When does the next train that stops at Montrose leave here?" asked the resolute widow at the booking office window. “You'll have to wait five hours, ma'am.” “I don’t think 80.” “Well, perhaps you know better than T do?” “Yes, sit! And perhaps you know better than I do whether I am expecting to travel by that train my- self, or whether I am Inquiring for a relative that’s visiting at my house! And maybe you think it's your busi- ness to stand behind there and try to instruct people about things they know as well as you do, if not better!

This is what Short Stories tells of a stench young churchman who Is most careful in his observance of the feasts and fasts of the year: When the owl Junch wagons in Herald Square were still a novelty he visited New York and saw one for the first time, “What have we here?” he said to his com- panion. “What a question from you!” was the retort. “A good churchman lke you not to know a movable feast when you see it!” “Oh, I should call it a restaurant a la carte,” promptly replied the “good churchman.” ‘A MIRACLE EXPLAINED. Why a Young Women Uttered Strange Sindiate ks “beet take ee ee eee ON Re ee The vagaries of memory are some of the most interesting of those con- nected with the human mind and body. Why do we forget certain things and remember others? Myriads of these irregularities are as yet unaccounted for; perhaps not even the cleverest metaphysician will ever account for them. Professor James reminds us how something which we have tried in vain to recall will afterward, when we have given up the attempt, “saunter into the mind,” as Emerson says, as innocently as if it had never been summoned. Again, bygone experi- ences will revive after years of obliv- fon, often as the result of some cere- bral disease or accident. Such a case is the one quoted by Coleridge of a young woman in Germany who could neither readnor write, but who was said to be possessed of a devil because, in @ fever, she was heard raving in Lat- in, Greek and in an obscure rabbini- cal dialect of Hebrew. Whole pages ot her talk were written down, and were found to consist of sentences in- telligible in themselves, but not hav- ing tne slightest connection with one another. To say that she was pos- sessed of a devil was the easiest way of accounting for the matter. At last the mystery was cleared up by a phy- sician, who traced back the girl's his- tory until he learned that at the age of nine she was taken to live at the house of an old pastor, a great He- brew scholar, und that she remained there until the pastor’s death. It had been for years the old man’s custom to walk up and down a passage near the kitchen, and read to himself in a loud voice. His books were examined, and among them many of the pas- sages taken down at the young Woman's bedside were identified. The theory of demoniacal possession was abandoned.—Youth’s Companion.

I was considerably inflamed, did not feel that I could walk, and lost my good spirits. I spent money doctoring without any help, when a relative visited our home. She was so enthusiastic over Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, having used it herself, that nothing would satisfy her until I sent for a bottle.

Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov. 4th.—Capt. A. H. Bogardus, the champion wing shot of the world, has spent the summer here. His shooting school has been one of the features of the Park during the season. He has given many exhibitions and his skill with the rifle is superb. The Captain tells of a very close call he once had when living at Elkhart, III. He had been a sufferer from kidney disease for several years and it rapidly developed into Bright's Disease. All his friends told him that this was incurable and that he would never get better. To say that he was alarmed is to put it very mildly. This plucky man had faced many dangers and it made him sick at heart to think that at last he was to be conquered by such a cruel foe. At last he heard of a medicine that had cured many such cases—Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used them and was completely restored to good health. He says: "I attribute my present good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills and to nothing else." Some men get on in the world on the same principle that gives a man with a paint-pot the right of way through a crowd. PISO'S CURE FOR CURBS WHERE ALL ELSE FAIRS. Best Choice. Great Care.

When the tintype man came out with the pictures he asked the young couple what address they would like stamped on the red paper cover. They didn't seem to understand the question and he repeated it. "I can put on any place you like," he added. "I am provided with rubber stamps, with which I can stamp the name of every town of importance from Coney Island to Constantinople, and I can fill in the date to suit my customers. Here is my local stamp. It says, 'In Old Coney Island.' I don't use that, however, nearly so often as the seacost and foreign labels. They come in hand; for people who like to put up a bluff that they have been further away from home than they really have. These social frauds are a little late in beginning their deception this year, owing to the backwardness of the season, but today has brought a rush of business and the Long Branch and Atlantic City stamps have been overworked. The outlook is good for an unusually large crop of pretenders who are going to make their friends think they have been away this summer. To back them up in their assertions they are going to lay in a good supply of tintypes. For the last two or three seasons people who leave New York for a day or a week or a month of the year have made a practice of getting their pictures taken in every town visited, as a souvenir of the trip. All this photography would be expensive if high class artists were always patronized, in order to curtail the cost the ambitious travelers look up the tintype men. This habit of economy has been a blessing to me as well as to the stay-at-homes. A regular photograph would bear the name of the artist as well as the address, and thus make deception impossible, but most tintypes look alike, no matter where taken, so all I have to do is to finish the picture and stamp on any address desired. In that respect I am the best friend of the impennacious. It isn't everybody who would take the trouble to humor their foibles, but I go on the practice that a man who has not enough amiability to accommodate his customers has no right to be in business, and so I help them whenever and however possible. What place did you say? Coney Island or—" The maid put at the man sheepishly. "Let's put it New Haven," she said. "That will sound better than Coney Island."—New York Press. LINCOLN'S AVENGER. Some Stories Illustrating Boston Cor bet's Impulsiveness and Courage. Sallie Bruner Houston tells the Smith County (Kan.) Pioneer a curious story of how she received the news of the assassination of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. She was 4 years old at the date of the assassination of Lincoln, but she remembers that when the news came to her father's farmhouse she "leaned up against the big fireplace and cried," while her mother "wiped her own eyes with her apron." Of the assassination of Garfield Mrs. Houston reates this story: "At that time we were living on our farm six miles south of Concordia, this state. Several of the family, including myself, were sitting in the yard with Boston Corbett, the man who shot the assassin of Lincoln. At that time Corbett lived on a farm near us. While we sat there my father came from town and brought the news of the shooting of President Garfield. Every one who remembers Corbett remembers his impulsive nature. He was quick as a cat. The news seemed to electrify him. He jumped to his feet, saying: "I wish I were there." We all knew what he meant. There would have been no trial for Guiteau. All who ever knew Boston Corbett knew that he would have shot Guiteau on the spot had he been there. It was about this time that Corbett was arrested on complaint of some of his neighbors for some petty offense and taken to Concordia for trial before a justice of the peace. He thought that he was not getting justice, so he drew his ever-ready revolver and ordered them out and thus cleared the courtroom. He then mounted his little black pony and went home. There was a great deal of talk of having him rearrested, and several persons went to his home to do so, but did not have the courage to do so. As they always returned without him, the case was finally dropped." Anarchists Elected in Rome. Mariescus Elected in Rome. The Camera di Lavore—a body endly composed of workingmen, but recognized officially by the municipality of Rome, from which it receives 500 litre subsidy per month, might be translated into English as “trades union.” It has between 8000 and 9000 members on its rolls, but only some 2500 took part in the elections last week. The battle was between the socialists single-handed and an alliance of Republicans and anarchists, and the result was the complete victory of the coalition. Five republicans and three anarchists headed the list; the beat s's a lobbied only the three s's a lobbied to the minority. The fact has its importance, for it signals the first appearance of the anarchists in the public life of Rome—less than two years since an international congress was held here to devise measures for their suppression and just a year after one of their party assassinated the King of Italy.—London Tablet.

Not infrequently a young woman finds it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the laundryman or the home servant cannot do it. Hence these directions for ironing the waist: To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch, then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be laid away two or three hours. When ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the ironing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and absolutely clean. Begin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear apply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plaits in the front iron them downward, after first raising each one with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the iron follow every line of stitching to give it distinctness. After the shirt waist is ironed it should be well aired by the fire or in the sun before it is folded and put away, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. DO YOUR CLOTHES LOOK YELLOW? Then use Defiance Starch. It will keep them white-16 oz. for 10 cents. "Never give up" is a good motto for people who don't pay their debts. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.

Case of testmorphin and 10 DAYS treatment FREE. DR. H. I. H. GREENS'S KIDS. Box E, Athens, Ga. DIED AT PEKIN AFTER A DAY OF SINKING. Before the Heart Had Ceased to Beat the Burial Clothes Were Upon His Body —The Chinese Statesman Was Li Hung Chang died at 11 o'clock Thursday morning. At midnight Wednesday Li Hung Chang rallied slightly. His family had installed native doctors in charge of the patient, the regular physicians having refused to attend him unless the Chinese doctors were dismissed. The physicians who visited Li Hung Chang at 10 o'clock Tuesday night found him in good spirits, although very weak as the result of sitting up and working in defiance of their instructions. When they called later he was unconscious and sinking rapidly. It was announced at noon then that Li Hung Chang could live hardly three hours longer. At 9 o'clock Earl Li was still breathing and displaying unexpected vitality. The physicians, however, thought he would probably die in the morning hours. The burial clothes had already been put on. The courtyard of the yamen was filled with life size paper horses and chairs, with coole bearers, which his friends were sending, in accordance with Chinese customs, to be buried when he died, in order to carry his soul to heaven. Several of the ministers of the powers called to express sympathy. The Chinese officials were somewhat uneasy concerning the effect his death would have on the populace, and to guard against a possible anti-foreign demonstration the Chinese generals disposed of their troops about the city in such a way as to command the situation. 'trouble, however, was extremely improbable. The wife of Earl Li and his two sons and daughter were with him. Chinese officials thronged the yamen. Telegrams were sent summoning Prince Ching, who is now on his way to meet the court, and Chou Fu, provincial treasurer from Pao Ting Fu. The former will assume the general charge of governmental affairs and the latter will act as governor of Chi Li until Li Hung Chang's successor in that office, who will probably be Yuan Shi Kal, is appointed. Roberto Celto Coltman, an American, who is one of the physicians attending Li, told the correspondent of the Associated Press that when he was called to act with Dr. Velde of the German legation. November 1, he found the patient very weak from a severe hemorrhage due to ulceration of the stomach. "The hemorrhage was readily controlled," said Dr. Cottman, "but owing to the underlying condition of chronic gastritis, with persistent nausea only the midest liquid food could be ingested. He was cheerful and without pain; but at 2 o'clock in the morning he became unconscious and was no longer able to get rid of the collection of mucous which he had freely expectorated. Throughout the evening digitalis was frequently administered." Earl Li's persistent refusals to refrain from attending to government business aggravated his malady, while the refusal of the family to permit certain measures customary in western medical practice for relieving the stomach contributed to bring his end near. TEN BURNED IN A THEATER. Variety Performers Had no Time to Es cape at Hurley, Wis. Ten lives were lost and four buildings destroyed by a fire in the Klondike theater at Hurley, Wis. The dead are C. W. Cleveland, H. P. Clifford, Thomas LeClaire, George Benert, H. D. Emory, Timothy Ryan, F. L. Fay, St. Louis; Thomas Ozanne, Harry Raymond, Clara Bonne. Dangerously injured: Jennie Barber, Annie Scott, Laura Russell, Billy McLaughlin. The Klondike was a vaudeville theater and all the dead and injured were connected with the theater as performers. Most of them lived at Hurley and Thomas LeClaire was a brother of the proprietor of the theater. The fire started upon the stage. The third story was used as sleeping quarters and the flames spread so rapidly the occupants had no time to escape. The fire spread to adjoining structures. The fireroad Mich., fire department aided the Hurley firemen and by hard work the town was saved. The loss on the theater and other buildings burned' is $17,000. Six of the bodies have been recovered. The Klondike theater burned once before in July, 1887, when eleven women lost their lives. Dreamed of a Free Poland. The trial of thirteen Polish students for belonging to certain secret societies in various universities has begun in Posen, Prussia. The prosecutor claims that these societies are united in a Polish student's league to restore Polish independence. One student has confessed that he circulated fifty copies of a pamphlet proclaiming that Poland was not yet lost. Polish secret societies have been increasing rapidly and the Prussian government is determined to adopt a strong handed policy. The Sheriff Had Been Warned. The safe in the private bank of O'Donald & Morton, at Whitehall, Mich., was blown open by robbers and $2,000 taken. It is supposed three men did the work. They escaped in a stolen rig. An anonymous warning had been sent the sheriff of a projected attempt upon the Montagu bank and it and the Whitehall bank were guarded one night, but the following night the Whitehall bank was left unguarded. TURKEY PAYS IN PART. An Answer to the Railroad Claims, But No Ours Settlement A dispatch from Constantople says: The jorte has sent a note to M. Bapst, councillor of the French legation, inclosing monthly drafts upon our customs, in payment of the Lorandi & 'Tubuli railroad claims and embodying certain decisions of the Turkish government regarding the quays difficulties. M. Bapst has forwarded the communication to Paris. France has seized two small ports on an island near Smyrna. These, it was announced, would be held until the sultan paid the indemnities amounting to more than $2,000,000. Two or three days ago France sent a note demanding to know how the sultan proposed to pay. The foreign office is still without any further advices from Admiral Callard. His dispatch of a few days age came through Constantinople, but the next dispatch, giving particulars of what has happened at Mitylene, is expected to be transmitted from Syria, to which island it will be carried by a dispatch boat. A dispatch from Constantinople reports that the ministers have held an unusual meeting to examine the provisions submitted by the councilor of the French legation, M. Bapt. MISS STONE FREE SOON. The United States Legation at Constantl- nities has Received Good News TOPE HAS RECEIVED GLOBAL NEWS The officials of the United States legislation at Constantinople have received news through Salonica that indicates the early release of the captives in the hands of the brigands, On October 29, Miss Stone and Madame Tsilka both were well. The State department at Washington has received a cablegram from Consul General Dickinson at Constantinople, saying that he had received a letter from Miss Stone, the missionary held by brigands for ransom, dated October 29. The brigands having Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, and her companion, Madame Tsilka, in their custody were in Bulgarian territory near the Turkish frontier last week, according to authoritative intelligence. The captives were lodged in caves and fires were lighted to protect them from the severe cold. Since then the brigands have taken the women to some place unknown. The fact that violent measures, such as mutilation, to extort ransom, were not taken, indicates that the brigands are under the impression, that the longer they wait the better will be the terms obtainable. This attitude is regarded as being partly due to the publicity given to the subscriptions toward the ransom, and it is increasing the difficulty experienced by Consul General Dickinson in his efforts to reduce the brigands' demands THE CONSIDINE TRIAL BEGIN A Chief of Police Was Shot and Killed in Seattle, Wash. The state put on its first witness Thursday in the trial of the case of the state against John Considine, charged with the murder of William L. Meredith, late chief of police of Seattle, Wash. According to Prosecutor Fulton, the state has witnesses who will give testimony showing that Thomas Considine had a revolver with him in Guy's drug store prior to the time he wrenched from Meredith's hands the gun that Meredith had drawn. This is to be a connecting link in the state's sixth shot theory. An effort undoubtedly be made to show that the first of the six shots which the state says were fired, was fired by Thomas Considine a minute and a half or two minutes before Meredith fired his first charge from the shotgun and that it was this shot which led Meredith to attack John Considine. A WOMAN'S STRANGE DEATH. The Husband Says His Wife Shot at Him and Then Committed Suicide. Mrs. Elvira Lucky was found dead with a bullet hole in her right temple, in a dugout in Otter township, near Kinglsher, Okla. The pistol was in the dead woman's hand. Her husband told the coroner that he went to the house and found his wife reading. As he attempted to open the screen door she fired three shots at him. As he fled he heard a fourth shot fired. A verdict of suicide was rendered. Lucky has been held for further investigation. His second story was that his wife shot him and he returned the fire in self-defense. Lucky has a shotgun wound in the arm and another in the hand, which are alleged to have been self-inflicted. The wife and husband parted some time ago. Two Fishing Boats Capsize in a Gale. A dislodge the marine exchange. Philadelphia from the Monaco Beach life saving station, near Long Branch, N. J. says that during a heavy gale two fishing boats capsized off Galilee, N. J. and John Wilson and Thomas Laison were drowned. The combined crews of the boats numbered fourteen men. Twelve were rescued by the life savers. Robbers Forgot the Sheriff. Lipe Ship was killed and Ed Meeus wounded by Deputy Sheriff Ells as they were in the act of holding up a saloon at Noco, Ariz. The men had lined up the occupants of the saloon when Ells crept behind the counter and fired with a shotgun. Ship was killed, but Meeus, though wounded, ran out and mounting his horse, escaped. Meeus formerly lived in Sherman, Tex. Ship was from Las Vegas, N. M. She Choked Her Babe to Death. Bessie Cald, aged 22, mother of a babe found in a vault at Yoder, Ohio was arrested and brought to Lima for trial before Justice Riley. She confessed that after the child was born, she choked it to death. Her mother, she says, threw it into the vault where it was found. The bank at Black Rock, Ark., was robbed of over $2,000 in cash and pearls valued at $10,000, belonging to W. D. Bird. The safe was blown open with dynamite. The burglar escaped. HANGTOWN How a California Town Got Its Unpoetic Name. ROOSEVELT and HANNA The Relations of the Two Republi can Leaders Pleasant If there is any living creature that you think you know, it is the fly. But while you have seen files, and have, perhaps, been tormented by some of that family, how much do you really know about them? The flies you know best are the house fly, the stable fly, and the mosquito. Their general family name is diptera, which is given as well to other members of the family, for it is legion. "Diptera" means twice-winged—a term which belongs to all two-winged insects. The larvae of the house fly and of the stable fly are born in filth, but as soon as they are fully developed they soar into the sunshine and free air. Only on damp days do they care to enter houses and stables; for flies cannot bear to be out in the wet. So sensitive are they to moisture that they will go almost anywhere to avoid it. We do not need to tell you that to drive flies from the house you should darken the rooms and give the little creatures a chance to escape into the sunshine. They will avail themselves of it readily enough. As the flies of which we are speaking develop in filth, it is natural that cleanly human beings should do their best to be rid of them. Flies swarming upon articles of food are a menace to health, as any physician will tell you. Scientifically Considered. To keep to the house fly and to begin at the beginning, we must tell you that it is one of the short-horned diptera, its special name of brachycea meaning short-horn or antenna, because the antennae are short. They are also three-jointed with the third joint ringed. If you can look at a common house fly under the microscope you will at once see what we mean. This fly lays its eggs in manure or other filth, and as 100 or 200 eggs are usually laid by a single female, you see that a mother fly is very much like the famous old woman who lived in a shoe. In warm weather it takes only a few hours for the eggs to hatch in maggots or larvae; it takes only a week for the maggots to become full grown flies; within two weeks they are busy starting families of their own. If the common fly had no enemies it would torment mankind far more than it does. Nature man- Hidden in the fir-clad hills and ravines of El Dorado county, Cal., there is a place called Hangtown. The place was originally known as "Old Dry Diggings," but in January, 1849, it received its new baptism. One night three men were playing poker in a saloon, probably a tent or hut, when one of the party "went broke." That in itself was probably not extraordinary, but what followed was enough out of the common to affect the little camp to no slight degree. The proprietor of the place had fanned asleep in the room, and as it was known that he had some dust in his possession, it occurred to the gentleman who had lost that a glorious opportunity of replenishing purses was at hand. Needless to say, the proposition found favor in the eyes of the others. The sleeper was aroused and requested over a gunbarrel to "ante!" A favor asked in such terms was not to be refused, and he responded with alacrity. The accompanying threats of sure death if he "blew" were disregarded by the victim, however, and he "blew" as promptly as he had "anted" on the previous evening. The camp was wild and wanted justice done. No time was wasted, and the robbers were arrested before they had time to escape, a court was convened, and flogging and exile were chosen as a sentence in keeping with the enormity of the crime. The promptness with which the whole procedure was gone through might have served as a warning to wiser men. But this was not the case with our gambler-robbers. Next day they appeared in camp very drunk and very noisy, vowing dire vengeance on their punishers. Such ignorance and insolence was too much to ask any respectable forty-niner to stand, and at a mass meeting of righteously indignant miners, hastily convened, the decision to hang the men was made Men who judge persons and events solely by outward appearances and without intimate knowledge of them think President Roosevelt harbors some resentment toward Senator Hanna because for a time the latter attempted to prevent Col. Roosevelt's nomination for Vice-President at the Philadelphia convention, says a Washington correspondent. He does not, and never did. When Col. Roosevelt was in Washington a few weeks before the meeting of that convention he exacted from Senator Hanna a promise that he would make Roosevelt's nomination for Vice-President impossible. The senator did his best to keep his word. There never was any misunderstanding between them about it. When the popular demand for Roosevelt's nomination became too strong to be longer resisted Col. Roosevelt agreed to leave the matter to Senators Hanna and Platt and Mr. Oddell, now Governor of New York. They consulted and agreed that Roosevelt should be nominated and that Hanna should nominate him. It was all amenable and without the slightest rancor on anyone's part, and as everyone now knows (though not all could see it at the moment, least of all Col. Roosevelt himself) it was the wisest and strongest thing that could have been done. Has Its Place in Nature's Great Scheme. ages, however, to keep her balance, even with a fly. Tiny parasites destroy many of the larvae before they have half a chance to develop. In the autumn you will find a fungous growth choking the life out of the files that it infests. Have you never found dead files on the window pane, their bodies wrapped in an odd sort of winding sheet made of very fine white threads sticking out in every direction? If you haven't you may look for them this autumn, and feel that you have learned something of the tragedy which came into the life of a fly. The Horsefly. The common stable fly, or horsefly, is of three kinds. The large mourning horsefly is of a uniform black; the white lined fly differs only in dress, being of the same annoying species; the smaller golden headed horse and ox flies have banded wings. The female alone sucks blood, while the male feeds daintly into flowers. The larvae, however are carnivorous. The mosquito and the black fly we speak of together because of the equally painful discomfort of their bites; but zoologically they differ a little. The mosquitoes are culicidae, cubex being Pliny's name for the fly. They have feathery antennae and a fringe of hairs on the hind margin of the wing. The larvae develop in the surface of stagnant pools. As the larvae have a respiratory tube open at the tail end, they rest vertically near the surface of the water, head down and the tail at the surface, in order to breathe through that end. The reason they are killed by pouring kerosene oil over the water is that the oil makes a film through which they cannot breathe, which literally smothers them to death. The black flies, on the other hand, are longhorned flies, the nematocera. What boy in the Adirondack woods this summer, or in past summers, has not seen and felt them? The females alone, like the female mosquitoes, are the blood suckers. The larvae also live and develop on the surface of the water. Righteousness is the richest reward of the right. Flow a California Town Got Its Unpoetic Name. This sentence was carried out as promptly as the previous one. The crowd marched down the street to a big oak tree, and there with a dozen husky ploneers at the long end of each rope the bad men met their fate. There-after the miners said "Hangtown" when they referred to the little Sierra camp. Lord Roberts Perfectly Satisfied Field Marshal Earl Roberts, formerly commander-in-chief of the British forces in South Africa, in a speech this week said that everything was being done to end the war quickly. Lord Kitchener's demands for men, horses and stores were always promptly met and there was no fault to find with the men or their officers. This comes pretty closely to acknowledging that the Boors are no mean foe, for the war seems almost as far from ending as it began. Steel Plant to Cost $1,500,000. Should the plans of a big southern steel concern be carried to completion, there will in the near future be erected at Thomas, near Birmingham, Ala., a steel plant to cost $1,500,000. The site for the plant, which it is proposed to use in conjunction with two blast furnaces now operated at Thomas by the concern, has been chosen and there's every probability that work on the mill will soon be begun. It will be one of the finest plants of the kind in the south. Somewhat Hurrled. "Gen. Fred Grant says the Fillipinos are quick to see a joke." "Well, those who did the running while the general was the e must have been quick about it or they couldn't have seen it at all." —Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Relations of the Two Republican Leaders Pleasant President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna have always been warm friends. They have a sincere affection for one another, as men of their bold, frank type are prone to have. Failings of an Emperor His Imperial Japanese Majesty Mutsu Hito, the 123d mikado of the empire, always wears a simple uniform and never goes aboard. When the mikado had his first photograph taken he excame that if he was as ugly as it represented him to be he would never sit for his portrait again. At the emperor's request the Japanese legations in other countries refused to issue his picture. In truth, the mikado is a plain man, somewhat bow-legged and pigeon-toed, but he has an air of majesty none the less. He has shown himself a wise, good and able ruler.-Chicago Journal. Boler Nilling and Human Teeth Roller milling and humah teeth. An English dentist says that the increase in dental cases during the last twenty years is due to roller milling having largely replaced stone milling, and argues that modern bread directly causes the destruction of tooth tissue, as there is a greater amount of acid generated in the mouth during the mastification of bread composed of roller flour than when composed of stone-milled Latest Kansas News --- In an alteration on one of the main streets at Emporia, James Thompson and J. G. rutchinson, two prominent business men came to blows. The trouble was over a lawsuit. No arrests were made. Barbara Tauer of Topeka got $15,000 judgment against the estate of the late Mrs. Adams Sells. Miss Tauer was Mrs. Sells' companion for years, and sued for the above amount as salary for occupying said position. The Washington school, colored, was closed at Fort Scott on account of the sudden breaking out of about twenty cases of smallpox among the negroes of that city. W. E. Smith, a clothing man of Lincoln Center, has been adjudged insane. He was formerly employed by a Kansas City house, and this is his second trial, having previously been an inmate of the asylum at St. Joseph, Mo. Mrs. Nellie Collins has brought suit in the federal court against the Schiltz Brewing Company for $10,000 damages. She claims that the brewery staked her brother-in-law, William Collins, to a joint in Kansas City, Kas., and that as a result her husband has become an habitual drunkard and loafer. The preliminary hearing of William Johnson on the charge of murdering Santa Fe Officer G. C. Montgomery, by consent of the attorneys, was continued for one week. Some additional evidence was necessary which could not be secured before that time. Judge T. P. Anderson, of Kansas City, Kas., has been in Topeka recently to urge a pardon for William Deitz, the young German who killed Joseph Lindsay and was sent to prison for ten years. Lindsay was a brother-in-law of Will White, of Emporia. Governor Stanley listened to Judge Anderson's tale, but took no action in the case. The tennis tournament which was to have been played at Lawrence between representatives of the universities of Kansas and Nebraska was postponed on account of the failure of the Nebraska men to show up. The reason for the non-appearance of the Nebraskans is unknown. There was no small amount of interest being taken in the contest and the tennis enthusiasts were disappointed. A white man and stranger walked up to Thomas Sheain, a negro who had just alighted from a south bound train in Fort Scott and shot him in the back without warning and without provocation. The injured man is seriously if not fatally wounded, and the police have no clue as to the identity of the would-be assassin, who escaped. A dispatch from Meridan, Miss., reports the shooting of a A. Creshman, a Newton county farmer, and his 18-year-old daughter by a lawyer named Roy, who had called to serve a writ of attachment. The farmer and his daughter opened fire on the lawyer and he returned the fire. Creshman is thought to be fatally hurt, but the girl will recover. Roy escaped injury. The cattle around Abilene have nearly all come off grass and are being pastured on the wheat fields. The wheat has made a remarkably even and strong growth and is giving the farmers a splendid feed. Experiments with feeding straw are also proving satisfactory and many farmers are chopping straw for use in this way, mixing it with chop for feed to milch cows. The warm weather of the past two weeks has made farmers nervous about the Hessian fly and it is feared that the pest will gain a foothold that will make trouble next spring. Close pasturing of the 'wheat is counted on to prevent the fly from coming out in damaging numbers, while it will give needed assistance in wintering stock. A large gray eagle, which has for the past twenty-five years made its home in the woods around Blue Mound, a few miles southeast of Lawrence, was killed recently by a hunter from Lawrence. The big bird was very wary and has successfully eluded the hunters for the last quarter of a century. The eagle measured six feet from tip to tip of wings. Its claws were long and extremely hard and its legs and head bore the evidences of age. The lucky hunter turned his prize over to Professor Dyche, of the University of Kansas, and the latter will mount it and put it in t.e university museum. It is thought that age had so dulled the old fowl's sight and hearing that it did not perceive the hunter's presence. The live stock sanitary board at Topeka has been notified that a new disease has broken out among the cattle at Corning. The farmers there, for lack of any other name, call it black tongue. The tongue becomes black, swells up and hangs out of the mouth, preventing the animal from eating or drinking. As a result, it dies of starvation and thirst. More than twenty cattle have died there during the past week. The board has instructed the veterinarian to investigate the matter at once. The farmers living a few miles west of Lawrence on the old California trail have been greatly annoyed by the ravages of a pack of large gray wolves which infests that community. Not only are chickens, turkeys and all sorts of fowls killed, but even hogs and small calves are carried off. The marauders recently killed and carried off twenty-five turkeys and sixty-eight chickens belonging to E. A. Smith, and Mr. Smith's dog was torn to pieces by the wolves when he followed them. Hal Taliferro, who horsewhipped J. W. Coleman, the editor of the Effingham New Leaf, was fined $100 and costs in the city court for his action. He was charged with assault and battery and disturbing the peace. October 4 Hal Taliferro horsewhipped J. W. Coleman in Purdy Bros.' general store in Effingham. It is said thirty strokes of the whip were applied. Taliferro took offense at an item in Coleman's paper, in which it was stated that a long time ago Taliferro had masqueraded as a woman Mason City, Ia., has been chosen as the permanent headquarters for the Modern Brotherhood of America, and Eugene Balz, of Atchison, Kas., was elected supreme secretary, to succeed A. C. Elliott, resigned. The convention then adjourned. Michael Terhune, a prominent Summer county farmer, who disappeared from his home, north of Wellington, a week ago, turned up after an alarm had been sent out after him. He said he had been to see a friend near Wichita, whom he met in Wichita last week. A girl who said she was 19 years old, was arrested at Baxter for masquerading in boys' clothing. She was found riding a black pony, smoking a cigarette and dressed as a cowboy. She said she had no friends and no home and chose that method of dress so as to be free to do as she pleased. She was given a good home and promised to sober down. Alvin Melver, of Greenwood county, stopped in Arkansas City while on his way to Oklahoma, and during a drunk was robbed of $80. He secured a six-shooter and tried to regain his money, but was arrested before he did any shooting. He was fined in police court, and is now working out the fine on the city rockpile. Hugh Wallace, aged 35 years, was shot and fatally wounded by his aged father at Topeka. The elder Wallace went to Oklahoma at the time of the opening and persuaded his son to go down and try for a claim. Not drawing any, young Wallace returned to Topeka, after spending quite a sum of money. This caused bad feeling among the men and the tragedy resulted. Fred Matchett, of North Topeka, was held up by highwaymen recently near Garfield park. Instead of handing over his cash he drew a revolver and fired three shots at the robbers. They returned the fire. One ball struck him in the leg below the knee. He says one of the robbers evidently was hit by a bullet, for he cried with pain as the others dragged him into a buggy and drove away. John Yates, who was recently found dead on the farm of Thomas Smith, near Warrenburg, Mo., was a stockman living near Winfield. Six hundred dollars in money, a deposit check for $2,000 and a deed to forty acres of land were found in his pockets. He recently came to Winfield to go into the cattle business with his brother, George Yates. George furnished the money for the enterprise and deposited $2,000 in the First National bank of Winfield to his brother's credit. The brother drew out $1,000 of the money and went to Missouri to buy cattle, and died there, presumable of heart failure. The jury in the case of Mrs. Ella J. Nevins, against her father-in-law, William J. Nevins, at Atchison, for $10,000 damages for alienating the affections of her husband, returned a verdict for Mrs. Nevins granting her $2,500 damages. Mrs. Nevins is very young and pretty. 'the case was decidedly novet,' Jacob W. Nevins, son of the defendant, and the plaintiff were married February 13, 1901. The groom was hardly over age and the bride 18. 'They lived together until April, when the plaintiff claimed her father-in-law and husband took her against her wishes to the home of her father, where they left her. She charged that her father-in-law for the purpose of separating herself and husband made certain wrongful statements to him against her character prior to her marriage. Also that the defendant told his son that if he persisted in living with her, he would disinherit him. The principals are very prominent. Hiram Warren, a young farm hand living near Caney, is likely to go to the penitentiary through love for his sister. She was a Red Cross nurse, but contracted consumption and was discharged, and she wanted to go to El Paso, but the family did not have the means, nor could they borrow the money. Young Warren as a last resort, it is alleged, forged a check on the Caney Valley bank and signed the Caney Grain Company's name, by M. C. Jones. This, it is said, he took to Coffeville and cashed it at the First National bank for $136.70. When it came for payment the forgery was discovered and Warren's arrest followed. There seems to be a firebug at work in Emporia. The work was started recently when the largest livery barn in town with a number of buggies and horses was burned. Since that time the fire department has been busy the greater part of every night. Within the last few days four barns have been burned. In the case of many of the fires suspicious looking characters have been seen around the barn just before it caught fire. A barn belonging to Winiam Breen was burned. Shortly before the fire broke out Mr. Breen drove a man from his buggy shed. When the firemen arrived it was evident that a fire had been built under the buggy. So alarming has the situation become that the city officials have offered a reward of $250 for the capture of the incendiary. The Santa Fe employees who recently announced that they would contribute $2,000 for the capture of the murderer of Santa Fe Detective George C. Montgomery, have decided to give the money to Mrs. Montgomery and erect a monument to her husband. Montgomery was mysteriously shot through his window on the night of October 5. One man has since been arrested on suspicion, and now awaits the action of the district court, but otherwise the case is at a standstill, as the detectives have no clue whatever to work upon. Fay Hight and Charles Derrick, already sentenced for terms in the state penitentiary, and Arch Aberdeen, a confirmed criminal, escaped from the temporary jail structure at Fort Scott, while guards were stationed within twenty feet of them. Walter Baker & Co., Ltd. Dorchester, Mass., are the largest manufacturers of cocoa and chocolate in the world. They received a gold medal from the Paris exposition of last year. This year they have received three gold medals from the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. Their goals are the standard for purity and excellence. How About Your Children There are three things that a child may do with the world that surrounds him. He may appropriate it; he may run away from it; he may fight it. These three types of action sum up the efforts of a man's life, from the cradle to the grave. They spring from three emotions, the most fundamental and the most difficult to control. These are sympathy, fear and anger. What a child sympathizes with, what he fears, what he gets mad at—this will determine very largely what he shall become. The training of these emotions should, therefore, be the primary aim of every parent and teacher. This fact has not been generally recognized. And because it has not, the world is full of men and women who sympathize unwise, fear unwise, fight unwise and live miserably—Pennsylvania Grit. The Portrait Painter to the King. It is reported from London that the American artist, Edwin A. Abbey, whom King Edward VII recently commissioned to paint his portrait, has been enjoying the relaxation of the game of cricket. He was captain of a victorious eleven who defeated J. M. Earrie, heading a literary eleven. Mr Abbey's best-known worees are his illustrations of the "Comedies of Shakespeare" and of Goldsmith's "Sha Stoops to Conquer". The artist is a Philadelphian by birth, but has resided in England for some eighteen years past. He is a man of kindly and generous nature, equally popular with men and women. His several artist achievements in England have led to his election to the Royal academy. A Lucky Elk. The Rev. R. G. Rossamp, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of London, O., ex-grand chaplain of the order of Elks, who went to London a few months ago from Kokomo, Ind. seems to have struck it rich. While on a visit to Denver and Salt Lake city last year he was induced to invest $600 in a silver mine. A few days ago he went to the latter city to spend a short vacation and look after his mining interests, which seem to be turning out better than expected. Information just received is to the effect that he has been offered $75,000 for his interests in the mine. Oberammergan's Visitors Oberammergau used to be deserved by tourists, except in the years of the Passion performances. It is now being a regal arum summer resort, about five hundred persons having spent the hot months there this year. "Straws Show Which Way the Wind Blows" and the constantly increasing demand for and steady growth in popularity of St. Jacob's Oil among all classes of people in every part of the civilized world, show conclusively what remedy the people use for their Rheumatism and bodily aches and pains. Facts speak louder than words, and the fact remains undisputed that the sale of St. Jacob's Oil is greater than all other remedies for outward application combined. It acts like magic, cures wherever everything else fails, conquers pain. Sound money must be the kind that jingles in a fellow's pocket.
