Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of theCoutrny VOL. 15. NO.. 16 Co-operation, COLOR LINE DRAWN J. G. Groves a wealthy potato grower of Edwardsville Kansas, the man who found a fortune in the fertile lands of the Kaw valley ran up against the color line last week in a way that brought him to a standstill. Mr. Groves found himself in the west bottoms where he had just arrived from his train and having to meet some business men that day desired to get a shave. In looking around he saw a small, less than a two-by-four barber shop presided over by a colored barber. Thinking that being a small place his patronage would be appreciated the more Mr. Groves went in and in a friendly way asked to be shaved, but was informed by the barber that he did have colored men. After Mr. Groves had recovered from the shock he express himself in a manner that must have reminded the barber very strongly of the withering hot winds of the State of Kansas in for mer days. Mr. Groves is like some men who have plenty of money to buy all the clothes they need, and who are selfmade men with an apparent desregard for their personal appearance, so he has a very ordinary appearance at times, but a short conversation with the gentleman and a knowledge of his life will easily show him to be an extraordinary man. It is gratifying to note that a colored barber who had the selfstyled distinction of shaving white men only is now no longer a leader in society on the strength alone of his occupation. Time was when he was, but conditions have changed now. No man can be condemned for choosing any honest avocation in life that suits him to make a living by, but when a Negro to other races and excludes his own people it causes an involuntary feeling of resentment to him no matter how small in members of the same race.

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY MORNING, MAYOR CRADDOCK Mayor Craddock, the peoples choice for Mayor of Kansas City, Kansas has now by the turns in the course of human events been nominated for Governor of the great State of Kansas and we can say the peoples choice for Governor. The length and breadth of our State might be searched now and in the futu e and we can truthfully say no grander man could be produced and in saying this we swing off party lines and talk of the man, as we know him, and as he is met on the common level holding aloft the Golden rule and ever mindful of doing honestly right by all humanity. Kansas, the grandest State, in all the land needs for a Governor a man with the moral courage of a man who is not harnessed by harness that will make him afraid to stand up for the rights. The good people all over the State should rally to the front in season for a man of the people and for the people available. In the Probate Court of Said County.

The World's Pearl Supply A jeweler says: "Since 1890 the price of pearls has doubled. In the past three years it has increased fully 33 per cent. The number of oysters brought to the surface of the waters of the world averages 36,000 daily, more than were ever taken out before, and still the supply of pearls decreases. When I say supply, I mean the pearls offered for sale to the public. Personally, I believe the jewels are being bought up by investors, and that the bulk of them never get into the market."

King R is asserted by the defenders of "trusts" that in almost every instance the formation of a trust has been followed by a decrease in the price of the product. This is true; but in most instances trusts have been formed to check the downward tendency of prices by interfering with the operation of the law of supply and demand. Probably there is no conspicuous instance of lower prices following the organization of a trust, in which the prices to the consumer would not have fallen still lower if the trust had not been formed. The greatest objection to trusts is that they are wrong in principle, in that they interfere with a fundamental law of trade. Only persons under thirty years of age were ready to accept promptly Harvey's great discovery of the circulation of the blood; and just as youth is most apt to respond to the touch of genius so men rare abilities seldom fall of the spirit of perpetual youth. Keeping young is simply keeping abreast with the times we are in. At the recent anniversary in New York City of the founding of Stevens Institute, ex-Mayor Hewitt related this incident: "When I was a student at Columbia, base ball was our only game, and not such a deedment to a college as it is to-day. We lost most of our balls by knocking them over into a yard of a house in Barclay street. One day when we were short and could not get any base balls, I was appointed a committee of one to visit the house and ask for some. A gentleman appeared in answer to my question, and producing a basket containing twenty-five or thirty balls, asked if they were ours. I said that I supposed they were. 'Every one of them has broken a window in my house,' he rejoined. 'You may take them, and when you have all the windows in my music room to Hoboken One hundred thousand dollars has been voted by the Antwerp municipal council toward an opera house for the production of the works of Flemish composers. 100 160 Cts, Ch.

The new Australian federal government is appointing a Commonwealth Day on the lines of the American Independence Day. It is now engaged in weighing the claims of July 1, when Queen Victoria assented to the constitution; September 30, the date of the proclamation; January 1, the inauguration of the Commonwealth, and May 9, the date of the Duke of Cornwall's opening of the first federal parliament. The January date is the one most favored. Holland and Its Colonies Holland and Its Colonies. The hold that Holland has on its East Indian colonies is rather precarious. The Archon war, stretched over well-nigh thirty years, is having a period of recrudescence that will sadly Dutch resources. The Jambi war has also kept the Hollanders busy. Strange to say, in both districts the Dutch troops are doing what the Dutch condemn in South Africa—burning farms. They are even destroying whole villages. Henrik Ibsen's Early Life. Henrik Ibsen fifty years ago was serving behind the counter of a country drug store. The dispensing of medicines, however, did not suit tastes of the celebrated Norwegian, and during his apprenticeship he was hard at work reading for the profession of a doctor. In order to eke out a very small salary he took to writing, with what result the whole world knows. Fortunate Child. In the town of Manzanares, in Spain, the birth of the first year of this century was curiously honored by the municipality. Having recognized the claims of the expiring year by paying the funeral expenses of the last inhabitant of the town to die in it, the local authority undertook to bear the cost of the education of the first child born in the new year. Lakes in Arid Australia Subterranean lakes have recently been discovered in the Euclia district, Australia. They lie about thirty feet below the surface and contain an abundance of water. This discovery is of the greatest practical importance to this especially aldr district. It is of scientific value also, as it affords an explanation of the disappearance of certain rivers. Robbery by Wholesale. A remarkable robbery has been committed at Bird's Island, near Toulon. There was on the island a bed containing 100,000 two-year-old oysters. They were safe at a recent date, but on the proprietor visiting the place again seven days later the whole stock had been cleared without any clue to the robbers be discoverable. Flying Not a New Idea. Flying is not a twentieth century idea. As far back as 1273 Friar Bacon predicted that flying would "shortly" become a general practice and Bishop Wilkins in 1652 said: "It will yet be as usual to hear a man call for his wings when he is going on a journey as it is now to hear him call for his boots." Honor for Italian Literary Man. Prof. Rodolfo Lanciaana has just received the greatest prize a literary man can hope for in Italy. The Academia Reale della Science of Turin has awarded him the triennial prize of 12,000 lire, called the Premio Bressa, from the name of its founder, for his recent scientific work. Home of the Cholera. The marshy ground of the Ganges delta, with its vast masses of vegetation, decaying under a tropical sun, is the native home of the cholera. In that pestilential region the cholera and plague are found every year and all the year round. Swedes in United States. The total emigration of Swedes to America during the last fifty years has exceeded 850,000, while about 150,000 Swedes have gone to other countries. Of the emigrants to the United States only 5 per cent have returned to their native country. Four Meals a Day. Washington hotels are said to be the only ones in the country that serve four regular meals every twenty-four hours—breakfast, luncheon, dinner and supper—the latter bein' served in some cases as late as midnight. Sallivan's Final Crop John L. Sullivan says he will quit the stage and engage in farming. If he should prove as successful in raising crops as he has been in raising hallabool he may in time become a hayseed aristocrat. Famous Frescoes Ruined. In the work of restoring the Ara Coeli church at Rome, the famous mural frescoes of Pinturicchio have been completely ruined, several large nails having been driven into them.

The ceramic novelty, which is used for the manufacture of artificial stone, tiles, gutters, etc., is composed of sand, chalk, cement, liquid glue and petroleum. The substances are mixed in certain quantities and a claylike mass results, which can be formed at pleasure and acquires an excellent degree of hardness by being subjected to heat. Has Siberian Mammoth Russian savants are looking forward with interest to the return to St. Petersburg of Prof. Herz, with a great Siberian mammoth. He is bringing the skeleton and part of the skin and flesh, including most of the interior organs, and about a hundredweight of food found in the stomach of the monster. The parts kept weigh over a ton and much of the flesh was given to dogs. Farmer O'Neal's, Hard-Wood Teeth. Farmer Poley O'Neal is using a set of false teeth he made himself out of a piece of seasoned apple tree root with no other tool than his pocket knife. The teeth are of perfect shape and regularity, and the plate, which is of the same piece of wood, fits his mouth as well as if fashioned by a plaster impression. He can crack corn with these teeth—Chicago Inter Ocean. Curious London Advertisement. The following curious advertisement recently appeared in a London paper: "Gentleman wants board-residence. Real good home, in small family. No other boarders: Being over-stout, therefore subject to many annoying remarks, advertisit prefers very stout people's company. No others need write. References exchanged. Address," etc. Long's Poor Penmanship. When Secretary of the Navy Long entered the department of which he was the head, he was obliged to have John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy, stamped on the corner of all his stationery. Otherwise, it is said by those familiar with his handwriting, his correspondents could not have read the name signed to his letters. German Teachers Poorly Paid. Germany is undoubtedly the best-educated nation of Europe, yet its teachers in many parts of the country are very poorly paid. Recently several men teachers in Frankfurt applied for situations as policemen, owing to their remuneration being smaller than that of the average police officer. Glacier Will Deluge the Earth Leon Lewis, of Winsted, Conn., author of "Telluria" and a writer of some considerable repute on scientific subjects, says a glacier at the South Pole three thousand miles in diameter and correspondingly thick, will some day break and melt, deluging the earth, beginning with South Africa. The Thirty-two Callber Revolver. The Thirty-two cannon revolver. The revolver with which President McKinley was shot was a 32-caliber, and since that time dealers have not noticed an increase in the number of calls for weapons of that caliber, and, it is said, of the particular make used by the assassin: Bellc of the Revolution. John M. Buttrick, who recently died in Lowell, Mass., was a great grandson of Major John Buttrick, who began the fight at Concord bridge, and the gun which fired the first shot in the revolution is still preserved in the family. John Wesley's Birthday The trustees of Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., the oldest Methodist college in the country, have given their official sanction to a bicentennial celebration of the birth of John Wesley, to be held in June, 1903. State Examination of Doctors State Examination of Doctors. But eight states do not now require examination by a state board of those who wish to practice medicine. They are Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota and Tennessee. Extent of Detroit River. The Detroit river is the outlet of the greatest bodies of fresh water in the world, aggregating 82,000 square miles of lake surface, which, in turn, drain 125,000 square miles of land. The tent in which the Dowager Emperor of China travels is made of yellow silk, copiously embroidered in silver and gold with great dragons and glazing suns. The Sane Idea. The preponderance of public opinion is manifestly against the theory of a Detroit physician that everybody will be crazy within the next three centuries.

Each one of the party deposited one-third of this sum in the Bank of Dublin, and it was agreed that whoever survived the trip and returned should receive the whole amount. In case all died Dublin hospital was to become the beneficiary. On Dec. 24, 1895, they started east across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt, where they took passage for Australia. Their wanderings through the inner wastes of Australia proved the hardest trials of the journey, and the severity of this trip resulted in the death of two of the travelers. The third, Capt. Trevelyan, completed the voyage and won the money. -New York Press.

I will wear a hearing aid and the ear earbog ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, calculated a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that the ear was not healing, and that the ear noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and only five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored.

Returning home from one of his journeys to England, he brought with him a pair of pajamas, and his appearance at night in this clothing nearly frightened the life out of the good Tante, his wife. "What's that?" she demanded. "Sleeping clothes from England," said Mr. Kruger, with misgiving. "Then take them off," responded Tante, "and come to bed in your velldtschoen (shoes)." Can it be Mr. Kruger's habit to go to bed in his boots? Armored Glass A recent German invention is stored glass, or glass cast with wax gauze incised in the their substance, to increase the resistance to pressure shock, and the effects of heat. Tests of the new material have been made at the Chemnitzer technological museum which show that the armored glass is much stronger, and where the ordinary glass broke under sudden applications of pressure the strengthened material only cracked, and the cracks caused by changes of temperature did not allow either damp or flame to pass. Historic Pen Sold in Vienna. Among the effects of the late Count Falkenhayn, which have just been sold by auction in Vienna, was the pen which was used at Paris on September 26, 1815, by the Emperor Francis L. Carar Alexander L., and King Fredrik William III, of Prussia, in appending his signatures to the treaty of the Holy Alliance. The bidding started at 125 francs, and the relic was knocked down to Consul-General von Lindheim for 800 francs. Champ Clark's Oddity. Champ Clark of Missouri astounded the house of representatives a few days ago by appearing in a dove-colored frock suit like those occasionally worn by handsome young men in shows of the "Florodora" kind. To an inquiry from an amazed fellow-member he replied: 'Oh, I have to wear something, and it might as well be this.' The costume was not a success and has disappeared again.

Gibson Says That This Fatal Disease is Easily Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM: I felt very discouraged two years ago.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured me and made me well, and that is why I gladly write you this, and gladly thank you; six bottles was all I took, together backache and kidney trouble went never to return; the burning sensation I had left altogether; my general health was so improved I felt as young and light and happy as at twenty." -Mrs. Louis Ginson, 4813 Langley "5000 for if above testimonial is not genuine."

HICAGO, ILL. 437 Monroe St. At 4:30 a.m. I have observed Peruna "As far as I have observed Peruna is the finest tonic any man or woman can use who is weak from the after effects of any serious illness. In a number of convalescent cases, and have seen several other tonics used, but I found that those who used Peruna had the quickest relief. "Peruna seems to restore vitality, increase bodily vigor and renew health and strength in a wonderfully short time."—MRS. KATE TAYLOR.

"Well, those old college days were jolly, weren't they, Nan?" and Jack Benton leaned against the mantel, smiling down into the girl's upturned face. "Yes, indeed, and I'm glad that I resurrected all these old photographs and souvenirs, since you enjoy looking them over again. By the way, that reminds me, Jack, of a letter which came yesterday; wait till I get it. I'll be back in a minute," and Nan disappeared through the study door. bye, Nan, wish me front door closed by before the girl real doing. Nan still stood weari. Her study light fire gleamed red in the sight of the soothed her and si everyday life. "Who ever imagined She picked up Sa Handsome Jack Benton stooped over the table and picked up one of the old photographs that lay there in a pile. "Our mandolin club!" he murmured. "Fairly good picture, too. How young I look in it, though. And what's this? Another group? Oh, one of those girls' societies; I suppose Nan belonged to it. Let's see if I can recognize any of their faces—oh!" The picture was $ropped as if it had burned him. "Ethel Fanshawe!" The last words were in a whisper, as he involuntarily laid his hand on the table for support. "Oh, pooh! nonsense! What a sentimental idiot I am! I supposed that was over, long ago," he thought, taking a seat that was as far as possible from the photograph. "Good little Nan! I'm glad she wasn't here, just now. How astounded she would have been to see me!" Jack Benton and Nan Welsh had been comrades ever since they had made mud pies together in Mrs. Welsh's back yard, and had handed cookies from one chubby hand to another through the slats of the fence that separated their paretal premises. Many a secret, "cross your heart, certain, true, hope to die if I ever tell," had passed between them, then, and through school and college days it had been the same, but even our best friends must not know everything. "I told you I don't be long, Jack," said Nan, quickly, re-entering the room, but the letter was mislaid, somehow, and I had to rummage through my desk twice before I could find it. It's from Sadie Allen, one of our old Kappa Chi girls—what are you looking so cross for, Jack?" "Oh, nothing; a mere trifle. I was thinking of the cruelties of existence." "You wretched pessimist, and with my trying so hard to amuse you. I'd have a great notion not to read the news in this to you, and I wouldn't do it, either, but you going to know the people. Are you going to be good?" "Yes, indeed," he replied, stifling a sigh. "I'm as meek as Moses. Please begin." "Very well, then," said Nan, absently, drawing her chair closer to the light. "Dearest Nan"—that doesn't concern you—I met the Penngottons—no, that isn't it, either. Wait a minute till I find the place—here it is: 'You will be surprised, Nan, to hear the latest about one of the girls of 96.' You know she had two admirers—Tom Andrews was one. Well, she engaged herself to Tom and let the other fellow go. I forget his name, but he was a college boy, one of the old mandolin club that gave a concert in Rochester the winter I was there. Anyway, she was engaged to Tom Andrews. I met her last month in Pasadena. We were at the same hotel, and one day had a little chat over our embroidery. "Oh, Sadie," said she, "you don't know what good it does me to meet one of the old girls again! And to think that you remember my Tom! He's such a noble fellow"—here she blushed and gave a shy, proud little laugh. "I think there's nobody like him. Oh, Sadie Allen, you must come to the wedding next June. Promise me that. Yes, of course, it's to be at my home in Memphis. Tom says"—and so forth, and on, Nan, nothing but that fellow's name the whole time! "The next day she came running up to me on the hotel porch, saying, 'I've got a telegram. Here it is: 'Come home. Great news. Tom.'" "She was wild with delight, and left on the next train And, Nan, what do you suppose was the 'great news'? I thought that he must have struck a gold mine, at the very least. So he W. H. "Yes, indeed," he said, stiffing a sigh. "Please begin." had, according to the poor, pitiful little note she wrote me. When she reached home that girl found that Tom Andrews had married her mother, and was her step-father instead of her lover! It seems he had found out where the money was in that family! By this time, you must have guessed that the girl was Ethel Fanshawe. "Now, did you ever hear anything like that?" said Nan, folding the letter, to put it back into its envelope. "Why, Jack Benton, what's the matter with you?" she exclaimed in astonishment and alarm. "Are you ill? You're as white as a sheet!" Jack rose unsteadily. Then he pulled himself together with a mighty effort. "Nothing, nothing at all, Nan, except, don't you see? I'm the other fellow!" Turning toward the gas jet he pulled out his watch. "It's half past nine, now. I'll just have time to catch the train for the South, if I run for it, Oh, my poor deed, what she has suffered! Good- bye, Nan, wish me luck!" and the front door closed behind him, almost before the girl realized what he was doing. Nan still stood where he had left her. The study light burned clear, the fire gleamed red in the grate. Presently the sight of these familiar things soothed her and she came back to everyday life. "Who ever imagined such a thing!" She picked up Sadie Allen's letter, and held it irresolutely between thumb and forefinger. "And yet, poor Jack! Good position, good looks, good family, good habits, everything except good judgment. M. M. "Good-bye, Nan! Wish me good luck!" and the front door closed behind him. Why, the chances are that she'll refuse him. Women are such fools!" Then she resolutely laid the letter on the coals. HELLENES SHOW AMERICAN SPIRIT A Greek Newspaper Published in the American Metropolis. The man in the street does not hear the newsbys cry, "Ere's yore 'Thermopylae,'" and is ignorant of the existence of a newspaper published in New York in the type that has not met his eye since he laid down his Xenophon and Homer, and, in the rush of business, proceeded to forget his "little Latin and less Greek." Yet "Thermopylae," which justly claims the title of "the only organ of Hellenism in the United," is a thriving newspaper, and its extra number just issued in honor of the anniversary of the declaration of Greek independence is an unusually interesting publication. The national colors of blue and white are shown in the ink used, and editorials by the most prominent Greeks and philhellenists of the country flank present-day advertisements that look queer in their old-new alphabetic dress. "Lorden Buron" does not seem so strange that it needs his picture to identify him. But it takes more than a momentary glance to detect in Samuel G. Khaou, the personality of Samuel G. Howe. The masquerading of other well-known English and American names and phrases is equally fantastic. The Greek composer is at times troubled by the numerous English quotations, as when he alters Byron's invocation to Greece, so that it reads: "Yet are thy skies as blue, thy brags as wild!" But on the whole "Thermopylae" is highly creditable to its publishers and to the Greek colony whose interests it represents.—New York Mail and Express. Tricks In Wax Candles. The day of the wax candle is supposed to have gone by with the advent of paraffin, gas, and the electric light, yet, as a matter of fact, an enormous number are used every year all over the world. But the wax candle of today is not the wax candle of our grandfathers' day. The busy bee is as busy as ever, but very little of the wax he secretes is made into candles. Mineral wax has taken the place of beeswax and is dug from the ground in Utah and California in the United States, and in Wales, Galicia and Roumania in Europe. When found it has a dark, rich brown, slightly greenish and translucent in thin films, but when refined it resembles well-bleached beeswax. The wax mines of eastern Galicia form one of the most curious fields of industry imaginable. They are situated around Borysław, which is also the center of the eastern oil district in that part of Austria. The wax lies in beds like clay, at depths of from 350 to 600 feet. Shafts are sunk to the beds. A Severe Comparison. We sincerely trust that when the question of state aid and state encouragement to agriculture comes to be seriously taken in hand by the government of India the reports of the board of agriculture in England will be studied merely for the purpose of learning how things should not be done. As well take a half-crown engine as a model for an up-to-date locomotive as the board of agriculture in England as a model for imitation in India—Madras Times. Inventor Sews and Embroiders The secret may as well be out. M. Santos-Dumont does not spend his spare moments in puffing at a cigarette or in siping innocuous-looking mixed drinks. Far from it. He devotes his time to embroidery, to knitting and even to the more difficult accomplishment of tapestry-making. He revels in all the light bits of needlework that are supposed to belong exclusively to femininity, and, what is more, does not care who knows it.—Detroit Free Press. Truth, like oil, always comes to the surface. THUNDER MO'N'TAIN, IDAH3, H MINERAL TREAURE HOUSE. Fortunes of Gold Are Being Found in the center of the State of KYO Thunder Mountain, the new Idaho gold field, is the most promising mineral region in the United States. The richness of this country was not known until late in the fall of 1901, after heavy snows had closed all avenues by which the region might be reached except upon snowshoes. Notwithstanding this fact, Colonel W. H. Dewey of Idaho, and others who have had wide experience in mining, have expended vast sums in the purchase of undeveloped claims. The surface indulgence are marvelously rich. These gold beaches are 100 feet, will run through a mountain parallel to each other. In the Dewey mine, this vast deposit has values running from $7 to $4,000 per ton, and the plates of the 10-stamp mill which runs on the ore have to be cleaned of their accretions of gold every six hours. In a few weeks two miners last spring cleaned up $7,500 in placer gold, the cotton hose to wash the gravel, the bucket to fill the small reservoir on the mountain side. The mineral zone covers a large section of hitherto unexplored country, and is about 175 miles from a railroad. There are five routes leading to the Thunder Mountain country, viz.: via Ketchum, Mackay, Boise and Weiser, Idaho, and Redrock, Montana, all on the Oregon Short Line railway. A great rush to this mecca for miners is predicted, and "On to Thunder Mountain" will be as familiar as the old snowmobile skier or Pust, as soon as the snow display so that the camp may be reached with supplies, which will probably be between May 15 and June 1. A scarcity of provisions at present keeps miners away, as flour at $50 per sack is considered somewhat of a luxury even in the golden land. Surrounding Thunder Mountain is a large section of country adapted to agriculture and stock-raising. D. E. Burley, general manager of the Oregon Short Line railroad, at Sidney Lake, sent an report to report upon that country, and will cheerfully give any information required as to the routes and general conditions in and around the great mining camp. Careless Owners of Jewels. Some valuable jewel decorations were swept up after a reception at King Edward's court a few days ago. This is usual after all great crow gatherings of royalty. Great care is taken with the valuable "finds," and owners are prompt to apply and not slow to receive their own. After the last of the brilliant company has left the salons the search is made under the eyes of an equerry, so that nothing should go wrong. The First Newspapers. As early as 1612 the French began to advertise in a paper called the Petites Affiches, and ten years later the first bona fide attempt at printing a newspaper was made in London. Among the very earliest mercantile advertisements to appear in England was one advertising the sale of tea. It appeared in the Mercurius Politicus. This Is Not Vanched For A new weekly paper in Alabama is called the Hillbilly Herald, and its motto is thus announced: "Dimmycrut in Principall; Agin the Railroads and Revenoos; A Free Ballot and a Fair Count; Wildcat-Liquor and Free Terbacker." A Care for Dropsy. Ashley, North Dakota, June 2d.—J. H. Hanson of this place has found a cure for Dropsy. For years Mr. Hanson himself has suffered with Rheumatism of the Heart and Dropsy, and of late has been so bad that he could not work. He has tried many remedies, but nothing he could get helped him in the least, and he was growing worse and worse. Finally he began a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills and to his great delight he soon found that the Dropsical Swelling was gradually going down and that the Rheumatism of the Heart was also disappearing. He says: "I have taken seven boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and am feeling better than I have for five years. "I am able to work again and if the Dropsy or Heart Trouble ever comes back I will use Dodd's Kidney Pills at once." Recently a London paper offered a prize for the best definition or home.

Police Used Clubs Vigorously and Indiscriminately—They Were Beset All Day by Mobs of Men and Women Hurling Stones, Bottles and Sticks—Fiercest Day of Teamsters' Strike. CHICAGO.—(Special). Soldiers of the First regiment, Illinois national guard, have been instructed to be prepared for a hurried call to duty. Commanding officers have sent word to other officers, and through them the non commissioned officers were detailed to notify the privates to be ready at a moment's notice. Governor Yates is in the city. CHICAGO—(Special.) Driven by men covered with dust and blood, many of them barely able from ex haustion to hold the reins in their hands, thirty-six meat wagons entered the main gate of the Union stock yards Thursday night amid a shower of stones, bricks, bottles and sticks. The wagons, guided by five police wagons filled with blue coats, and two omnibuses filled to the full capacity with policemen, were on the return from a delivery of supplies to down town provision houses, after one of the fiercest days in the strike of the beef packers' teamsters. Many of the drivers, officials at the packing houses, were cut and bruised from head to foot. The police were in even worse condition. The wagon drivers had been working from five o'clock in the morning, and their progress from the stock yards to the city's business district and back again had been contested bitterly by mobs of strike sympathizers. At the very entrance to the stock yards, after all seeming danger had passed, George June, an employee of the Anglo-American Packing Company, was struck by a baseball bat and knocked from his wagon seat. He was picked up in an unconscious condition, and it is believed, may die. Many others were struck at the same time by a shower of stones, but the police were too worn out to offer resistance. More than a dozen battles were fought during the day between rioters and the police, and the hospitals are over crowded with the injured. The fiercest battle of the day took place in the afternoon at Sixteenth street and Michigan avenue. The rioters stood on the viaduct and hurled rocks at the meat wagons passing underneath. The mob was the most formidable in numbers and in daring of any of the crowds that gathered during the day. Before this mob could be dispersed the police were compelled to use revolvers. More than fifty shots were fired, bullets passing over the heads of the crowd, which finally became frightened and scattered, but not until many of the rioters and policemen had suffered serious injuries. Another serious riot broke out at Congress and State and Harrison and State streets. By some maneuver the strikers succeeded in dividing the thirty-eight wagon caravan (the second one to leave the yards during the day), so that the front of it lay at Congress street on State and the rear at Harrison. While the vanguard battled with a crowd which hurried broken bottles, stale eggs and other missiles, including spools of thread thrown by women sympathizers in the crowd, the rear guard was called upon to defend itself against a more serious attack. At this place the mob made a desperate assault on the drivers, but was compelled to turn its attention to the police, who came up on the run. Twice the bluecoats hurled themselves against the infuriated men, and twice they were rebuffed and crowded back. It was the most desperate clash the police have had with the citizens in years. In several instances the strikers and their sympathizers took clubs from policemen and used them against their owners. A conference was held Thursday night between representatives of the packers and the teamsters, looking to a settlement of the strike. President Frederick W. Job, chairman of the state board of arbitration, brought about the meeting. A settlement of the strike of the delivery wagons of the retail State street department stores, earlier in the day, formed the basis on which the opposing elements bonded to effect a compromise. At 1:30 a. m., after four hours of consultation, in which the question of recognition of the union was thoroughly discussed, an agreement regarding wages and hours was decided on. The representatives of the packers conceded the demands of the strikers on these two questions, but were obdurate in their refusal to recognize the strikers union. But later in the night a compromise was effected with a partial victory for the teamsters, and the strike was at once declared ended. She is Wanted in Oklahoma. DES MOINES, IOWA.—(Special.) Local detectives have captured Ida Lee here and turned her over to Deputy Sheriff Bartell, of Oklahoma City, Okla. The woman's name, when masquerading as a man, is Lee Hale. Some time ago the detectives received word to be on the lookout for a woman who had been suspected of having secured $400 in cash, two diamond rings, and a gold watch, from a man. Her capture occurred in a Des Moines resort. KNOXVILLE, TENN. — (Special.) The Anderson county, Tenn., grand jury sitting at Clinton, Tenn., has returned indictments against Major E. C. Camp, George M. Camp and the Coal Creek Company for criminal misdeanor. The indictments result from the recent Frater Valley mine disaster, the specifications being that the defendants did not fulfill the law in regard to daily inspection of the mine. Major Camp is principal owner of the Coal Creek Coal Company, and George M. Camp was superintendent of the mine in which 216 lives were lost. HUNTING FOR THE LEAK Investigation in the War Department to Learn Who Is Giving Up Secrets. WASHINGTON—(Special.) Nothing has so stirred army officers in Washington lately as has the mystery surrounding the producing in the senate Thursday of copies of the papers in the case of Lieutenant Arnold, which are in the secret files of the war department. The president has begun a personal investigation of the matter, and punishment is promised the person responsible for the leak if his name can be learned. Apart from the implication that General Miles was concerned in furnishing Democratic senators with material with which to assail the army, the war department officials are interested, because they say it shows that, however important the document may be, it is not safe even in the official files. The Lewis-French gun carriage report leaked out through the ordinance bureau, and the officers concerned in its publication immediately applied for retirement. General Miles urged an investigation to discover the guilty parties, and it was on his recommendation that the investigation was made. He is now at Fort Riley, Kas., witnessing a test of the Lewis gun carriage plans. As a result of a conference between Assistant Secretary Sanger and the president, a preliminary investigation has been begun at the war department. This disclosed that the papers in Lieutenant Arnold's case had passed through but four branches of the war department. When the papers reached Washington from Manila, they were recorded in the office of the adjutant general and then referred to army headquarters for the information of General Miles. They were next sent to the judge advocate general for his action, and by him laid before the secretary of war. NEW TRAIN ROBBERY BILL Effort to Make the Punishment Twenty Years or $ 8,000. Fine. WASHINGTON.—(Spectat.) Senator Depew, from the committee on judiciary, has reported a substitute for Senator Platt's bill to suppress train robbery. It is in the nature of a substitute and is as follows: That if any person shall wilfully and maliciously trespass upon or enter upon any railroad train, railroad car or railroad locomotive, within any territory of the United States, or any place subject to the exclusive jurisdiction or control thereof, with the intent to commit murder, robbery, or any unlawful violence upon or against any passenger on said train, or car, or upon or against any engineer, conductor, fireman, brakeman or any officer or employee connected with said locomotive, train or car, or upon or against any express messenger or mall agent on said train, or in any such car thereof, or to commit any crime or offense against any person or property thereof, such person shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding twenty years or by fine not exceeding $5,000, or both, at the discretion of the court. That any person who shall counsel, ald, assist and abet in the perpetration of any of the offenses set forth in the preceding section shall be deemed to be principals therein. That upon the trial of any person charged with any offense set forth in this act, it shall not be necessary to set forth or prove the particular person against whom it was intended to commit the offense, or that it was intended to commit such offense against any particular person. POTTS MET THE EMPEROR. Americas Representative Waited in Court Yard Until William II Appeared. BERLIN, — (Special.) Lieutenant Commander Templin L. Potts, U. S. N., who is to succeed Commander William H. Beehler as naval attache of the United States, October 1, next, was presented to Emperor William Saturday in the courtyard of the castle. Lieutenant Commander Potts, who was in uniform, was directed to wait until his majesty returned from the spring parade of the Berlin and Potsdam garrisons on the Templeph field and then, after the ceremony of "trooping the colors" Captain von Grumms presented the lieutenant commander to the emperor, who was on horseback. With the lieutenant commander standing by the side of his horse, Emperor William and the naval officer conversed for about ten minutes, his majesty questioning the future naval attache with great rapidity as to where he was born, had he ever been in Germany before, where he had served, etc., eliciting almost a complete autobiography of the naval officer. The emperor finally said he was glad Lieutenant Commander Potts had come to Berlin and thus closed an informal audience. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS Charles O. Cole, of Oklahoma City, O. T., has been appointed clerk in the treasury department. The American Steel and Wire Company, it is said, has secured title to 100 acres of land in the southern part of Beaumont, near the Burt refinery, and intends to erect a $5,000,000 factory on the site at an early day. It is expected that the factory will employ at least 3,000 people. The comptroller of the currency has approved the applications of the following persons to organize the First National bank, of Waurieka, O. T., with a capital of $25,000. J. A. Overstreet, Kingfisher; A. J. Seay, George Newer, J. G. Condit and P. S. Nagle. The board of classification of the United States general appraisers has decided that swans are birds and not poultry under the Dingley tariff law.

Under the decision, the swans will come in free. Twenty of the largest planing mills in Chicago have been united in a new corporation and called the American Sash and Door Company. VOTEWAS48-30 SENATE PASSED PHILIPPINES BILL WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ONLY THREE REPUBLICANS VOTED NO They Were Messa. Hoar, Mason and Wellington—One Democrat, Mr. McLaurin, Voted For the Measure —Nicaragua Canal Bill Made the Unfinished Business WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Shortly after 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the Senate passed the Lodge Philippine government bill by a vote of 48 to 30. Three Republicans voted against the measure, and one Democrat voted for it. All amendments offered by the minority were rejected. The debate on the measure was in progress seven weeks and two days. Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts, chairman of the Philippine committee, who has been unremitting in his advocacy of the measure, was the recipient of many cordial congratulations on his successful conduct of the bill. Just at the close of the discussion a sharp exchange occurred between Mr. Dietrich, of Nebraska, and Mr. Patetrson of Colorado, in the course of which the former reflected caustically upon the Colorado senator. He was called to order, his remarks were read and he was declared to have been out of order in uttering them. He withdrew his statement, thus ending the controversy. During much of the time the senate was in recess, no senator caring to discuss the measure. After the passage of the Philippine bill the Nicaragua canal bill was made the unfinished business, and its consideration will be begun at once. The Philippine government bill, as passed by the Senate, contains in part the approval of the action of the president in creating the Philippine commission and the offices of civil governor and vice governor of the islands and authorizes the governor and vice governor to exercise the powers of government as directed by executive orders. Future appointments of the governor or vice governor shall be made by the president, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The "bill of rights" of the United States constitution is applied to the Philippine islands, with the exception of the right to bear arms and the right to a trial by jury. The supreme court and other counts of the island shall exercise jurisdiction as heretofore provided by the Philippine commission and the justices of the supreme court shall be appointed by the President and the Senate; the others by the civil governor and the commission. The action of the President of the United States in levying and collecting taxes is approved. All the inhabitants of the Philippine islands are entitled to the protection of the United States. When the insurrection in the islands shall have been subdued, a careful census of the islands shall be taken, and, after such census the governor of the island shall make a full report to the President and make recommendations as to future government. Meantime, the Philippine commission is authorized to establish municipal and provincial governments with popular representative government, so far and as fast as the communities are capable and fit for the same, the Philippine commission being authorized to determine the qualifications of the electors. The President is authorized to regulate the commercial intercourse with the archipelago in the interest of the general welfare. Harvesting in Oklahoma. GUTHRIE, OKL.—(Special.) Wheat cutting has commenced throughout the territory, the earliest date since 1896, when cutting commenced on May 25. It is estimated the yield throughout the territory will be two-thirds a crop, the decrease being due to the long continued drought throughout the winter months and the dry winds that blew the wheat from the ground on the uplands. This is the lowest yield since 1895, when the crop was a total failure. In this locality many farmers report a full crop to be harvested. The latest date for wheat cutting to begin in Oklahoma was in 1898, when it started on June 13. Escaped Through a Sewer. LEADVILLE, COL.—(Special.) Pug Ryan, a desperate criminal, and four other prisoners in the county jail, escaped Sunday afternoon by an underground passage. They sawed off the lock of a trap door leading to a sewer, broke the sewer wall and then crawled to the outside of the jail. The men are still at large. 1 CHICAGO.—(Special.) Miss Julia Marlone has closed her season at Powers theater, with the five hundredth performance of "When Knighthood Was in Flower." Her personal share of the net receipts for this season's performance of the play aggregates $165,000. Army is Reduced. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) By the direction of the president, Secretary Root has issued a general order, decreasing the strength of our permanent military establishment and changing the ratio of its makeup as provided in the general order issued last May to carry out the army reorganization law. Under the general order of last May, the total strength of the army was fixed at 77,287 men. The order just issued reduces this figure to 65,497—a reduction of 10,790. HAVANA.—(Special.) When the people of Havana awoke Friday morning they saw on the wreck of the Maline the evidence of thoughtfulness and appreciation on the part of President Palma who had ordered that the wreck, which stands as a monument for more than 200 brave Americans, be appropriately decorated to commemorate Memorial day. American and Cuban flags, garlands of roses and wreaths constituted the decorations, and memorial services were held in several of the American churches. SHOT AT HIS OWN GATE. Indian Territory Traveling man Killed by Mayor of Small Town. SOUTH M'ALESTER, I. T.—(Special.) The town of Kiowa is full of excitement over the killing of J. G. Railey, a traveling salesman for a Cincinnati clothing house, residing there, by postmaster Charles Collard. Searching parties have been scouring the country since the killing occurred Railey was shot while standing in his own yard leavening on a gate. Eye witnesses to the tragedy proclaim it deliberate murder without provocation. Ralley and his wife had a few minutes before the killing come down the street and stopped where Collard with a few companions who had evidently been drinking were beating an itinerant painter. Ralley pleaded with the men to desist and warned them that such proceedings on Sunday would cause trouble. His pacific efforts were resented and he was told to go about his business. He and his wife crossed the street to their home and Mrs. Ralley entered the house. Ralley lingered at the gate and leaned upon the fence with his elbow. Collard came out of his brother's drug store occupied also by the postoffice and leveled a Marlin rifle at Ralley and fired, the ball entering the peacemaker's arm and passing on through his body. He lived forty minutes. Collard seemed sobered by his deed and waving aside the crowd, with menacing gestures with his rifle, he mounted his horse and rode away at a gallon. CAR AND AUTO COLLIDE. Reached a Crossing at the Same Time —Four are Seriously Injured. NEW YORK—(Special). Four persons have been severely injured—two of them fatally, it is feared—in a crash at Rockaway Beach between an automobile and a trolly car. The injured are: William N. Collard, of Manhattan, legs and arms lacerated. A. Gilmore, of Manhattan; cut on head, face and hands. Mrs. A. Gilmore, of Manhattan; internal injuries; small chance of recovery. Dorothy Straussman, 8 years old, of Manhattan; head crushed. All of the injured were in the automobile party, which was piloted by Mr. Gilmore, acting chaffeur. The automobile, moving at a high rate of speed, approached the Long Island and railroad crossing at Walniright place. Darting along the tracks at the same instant sped a crowded trolley car, en route to Rockaway park. Efforts of the motorman and chauffeur to stop were futile and the car struck the auto. TURNED HOSE ON THEM. How Mayor of Blair, Nebr., Prevented Laying of Railroad Track. BLAIR, NEB.—(Special.) A riot which would have ended in bloodshed was averted shortly after midnight Wednesday by the quick action of Mayor Hailer. The Chicago, St. Paul & Minneapolis Railroad company had been denied by the city council the right to lay certain tracks. About midnight a construction gang of 200 men began laying tracks. The mayor was informed and ordered the men to cease work. They replied tauntingly, and the mayor ordered out the fire department, and a stream of water was turned on and the men scattered. Revolvers were drawn, but hundreds of citizens arrived, and tore up the track, carted it away and hold the ground under arms. FOR FLIRTING BY TELEPHONE. Mount Vernon, N.Y., Girl is Sentenced to Sixty Days in Jail. NEW YORK. — (Special) Police Justice Marshall, of Mount Vernon, has sentenced Alice Myers, a young woman of that place, to sixty days in the county jail for flirting with a builder of Portchester, by telephone. Several months ago the builder met Miss Myers. She looked up his telephone number and was, his wife alleged, continually ringing up his house and asking him to meet her. Usually the telephone was answered by his wife, who exhausted every effort to find our husband's admirer's name. Miss Myer's attorneys secured her release on a writ of habeas corpus. The Engine Struck a Boulder. GLENWOOD SPRINGS. COLO.—(Special.) The Denver & Rio Grande passenger train No. 6, due in Denver at 7 a. m., with through passengers from the coast, was wrecked Tuesday one-half mile east of Spruce Creek by colliding with a huge boulder on a sharp curve at the edge of the Grand river. The engine jumped the track and sank out of sight to the bottom of the river. The mail car followed the engine, resting upon the tender. It was partially submerged. The express car also went partially into the river. No one was injured, but there were some remarked escapes. Engineer Matt Flynn was led down stream over a mile by the swift current, and was fast losing his strength when rescued. Truth is the simplest of all virtues. New Mexico Has a Volcano. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.—(Special.) Deputy United States Marshal McKeehan, who has just arrived from the West, reports the people of Grant are greatly excited over the appearance of activity in a volcano a few miles from that town. Passenger trains observed smoke in the direction of the volcano and a man who was dispatched to the place says it was issuing from the crater of the largest volcano of the region. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS The United States training ship Hartford, formerly Farragut's flagship, celebrated in the battle of Mobile, sailed over the scene of her former victory Wednesday and anchored at 5 o'clock in the afternoon in the river opposite Mobile. The battleship Illinois, flagship of Rear Admiral Crowninshield, commanding the European station, will leave the Mediterranean so as to arrive at Spithead on June 24, to take part in the naval ceremonies at the coronation of King Edward. CITY OF RATALBULEN, GAUTEMALA DESTROYED BY VOLCANO. OTHER CITIES ALSO SUFFERED DAMAGE Ratalbuten Buried Under Lava, Stone and Ashes—Eruption of Mount Tacona—Many People Fled and Thus Saved Their Lives—The Volcano Had Been Restless for Some Weeks. SAN FRANCISCO.—(Special.) Another city in Central America has suffered almost complete destruction and hundreds of its inhabitants have been killed by volcanic eruptions. The steamer Palena, which arrived Saturday from Southern ports, brings the news that the town of Retalbuten, situated at the foot of Mount Tacona, in Guatemala, has been buried under a mass of lava, stones and ashes thrown from the volcanic crater, and probably 1,000 of its people have perished. The volcano is about twenty-five miles from Champanico, near the town of Tapachulo, which, it is believed, also suffered severely. The eruption occurred several days before the Palena arrived at Champanico. The vessel's officers were informed by the agent of the Pacific Steam Navigation company at that place that the volcano had shown signs of the impending eruption for several days previous to the outbreak. In fact, Mount Tacoma had been restless ever since the great earthquake of April 18, which destroyed the city of Quezaltenango. For weeks a black pall of smoke hung over its summit, and the glare from the crater frequently illuminated the sky. Many of the inhabitants of Retalbulen fled from their homes to places of safety and these escaped frightful deaths. When the eruption at last broke forth in its full fury, showers of lava, ashes and stones were ejected and covered the country for miles around. The bay of Champanico was a mass of floating pumice and ashes. No details were obtained by the officers of the Palena, but the loss of life was estimated at not less than 1,000. The same steamer brought a letter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co. agents of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, from G. M. Mellville, their agent at Guatemala, confirming the report of the eruption. He also stated that, since the earthquake of April 18, shocks had been of almost daily occurrence. A few days before the Palena sailed, a small village near Mount Tacoma was destroyed, but no details could be obtained. The volcano of Santa Maria is also stated to have been in a state of eruption. The city of Retalbulen is in the province of that name, near the Pacific coast of Guatemala. It is the terminus of the railroad running from Champerico, on the Pacific. It has a population of about 5,500. TELLS OF A "SEAOUAKE." Captain of British Ship Relates Strange Experience He Met on May 9. QUEENSTOWN.—(Special.)
