Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country FOL. 15. NO. 39. EDITORIAL. What is in the Wind. It is rumored that the republicans will now atone for their past treatment of the Negro by giving them one more deputy than heretofore. We are from missouri and they have to show us. It is said an effort will be made to restore the Fire and Police Commissioner by these publicans, in order to clip democracy wings next spring. It is said said Will Woods the bred and born democrat but lately embracing the republican religion will be Jim Gibson's deputy in the county attorneys office and that a Negro will be given third place if any. It is said Harry Mendenhall will appoint a new Negro in the sheriffs office; we do not believe it. Dr. Geo. M. Gray is still being bothered by the ma orality bee. It is a question with new republican office holder elect—who of them will appoint a negro deputy. Chairman Taggatt of the democratic county central committee says not fifty Negroes voted for them and prominent republican says not three hundred of them voted the republican ticket. Its a question now—where were the Negroes will not some body claim them. The subject for discussion among Negroes is what are they going to get at the hands of the republicans. In political affairs in Wyandott county it is out of the frying pan into the fire. Ex mayor Marshman was given a warm reception in his own party but he did all the same. Frank Holcomb the county clerk elect is almost the only pebble on the beach but he will make a good many think in the next two years—There are a good many others. The echo of the Eagles'sreams is heard on every passing breeze let him scream. In municipal affairs the rooster is still cock of the walk. President Roosevelt took a correct view of the republican sweeping victory over the country last Tuesday. They are simply given a chance to redeem themselves and act for the people and not the trusts. Murders and suicides are of such a frequent occurrence in Kansas City, Mo. of late that they evoke but little comment and scarcely a ripple on the surface of every day affairs. In the last two weeks not less than six murders and six cases have occurred in "Old Missouri." It cannot be said that the Negroes did not help out Democracy in Missouri because all returns are to the contrary. THE UNIVERSAL METHOD. In years to come the universal method of hustling Negroes to unknown realms will be burning instead of lynching. The frequency of these public burning festivities points in no mistaken terms to the universal methods in the future. The killing of Dr. Kimberby the celebrated oculist of Kansas City, Mo., by a razed patient was indeed a sad affair. These calamities are unavoidable thus making them terrorizing to really think of the disagreement of the medical fraternity regarding the diagnosis of diseases, prejudice and jealousy are directly responsible for such crimes. It is remarkable that more cases of this kind do not occur frequently. ILLITESACY IN THE SOUTH In commenting on that part of the report of the census bueau which deals with illiteracy and says that the rate of illiteracy among the children of white percentage in the South reaches 10 per cent, the Kansas City Star says; The showing is a reproach to the South. It denotes a humanilizing lacks of progress. It, or be urged that the race problem has anything to do with this state of affairs. On the country, where Negro labor is pleniful and cheap, there is less excuse for keeping the white children out of school. It should be said, also, that the South, as a whole is made to suffer injustly by the especially low rates of literacy in a few of the states, notably in the Carolinas, in Arkansas, and certain sections of Kentucky and Tennessee, where a considerable white population is notoriously behind the time and behind the country. But the southern states as a group should look to the educati n of these children. These backwoods settlements should be penetrated. It is not credible to a section of the country nor to the country as a whole, that it should spend millions of money annual be and sacrifice lives continuously in the effort to educate and civilize the so-called "bethan" when such a large percentage of the native population is still in the darks of ignorance. THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. The reproach of the Star is merited. The South has always paid too little attention to the cause of education among the poor class of its people. As the Star well says it is not creditable to that section to have so great a percentage of the children growing up without education while the country is spending millions annually in the effort to educate socalled heathens. All our churches are sending teachers to India, to China, to Africa an sending millions to educate the ignorant in those countries, while right here at home, under their very eyes, is a field left unworked. The present large percentage of illiteracy, if permitted to continue, will be a source of trouble in the future. The South ought to awaken to the work before it, and our churehes ought to devote some of their attention to the poor white of the South and not devote it all to the "freedmen" and the heathen.-Indiapis句 Sistelin.

It's a question of paramount issue to every Negro in Kansas City, Kans at present—with the failure of the A. C. L. Coal and Feed Co., after a success of twelve years and the continued wrangle in the K.C. Embalming and Casket company-makes it highly necessary as a race, for us to halt and ask ourselves can we do business together like other people. The fact never was more apparent to the student of Negroology than new—that the Negro is sure and truly his own worst enemy. Great Father above-is it to be this way for ever. The condition of the country to-day tells us in no unmistaken tones—As a race we must get to-gether and live-or stay apart and die. Where are we drifting-whither are we bound? Is it possible that the only successful thing Negroes can do, is to build fine churches and then on the other hand produce more crap shooters than any other race and keep pace with the white race production of criminals. It is time for serious thought on the part of the Negro. Lack of Men. Seems rather odd but nevertheless true a lamentable existence in the ranks of the race in the lack of men. There is a demand an and awful one for men intelligent, honest, reliable and trusty. The race has good many thing dressed in mens clothing but few men. in mens clothing but few men. We boast of our advancement, but in fact we are retrograding in the product of man. Other races may have their faults and their proportion of low unprincipled individuals but the Negro has more than its proportion. Why? We are unable to say Kansas City, Kansas furnishes to the square inch more dwarf and warped exouses for men than any other city on the globe. We may be condemned for parading the short comings of the race and neglecting the bright side of things but the truth must be told. The progress of the race in Kansas City Kas. as well as elsewhere will be materially hindered until a sufficient number of reliable, with moral courage and manhood-can be born or imported. Several days ago the patrons of one of the Evensville schools withdrew all their children from the school, and when the matter was investigated it was learned that the parents believed a young girl named Mabel Smith was colored. The board of education protested and the truant officer threatened to have tee parents arrested for not sending their children to school, but this had no effect, and the teachers sat day after day without pupils. The board of education then ap pointed nine physicians to examine the girl and report as to whether she had any nugro blood in her veins. Five of them said she had and four said she had not, and this left the matter in as bad shape as before. The board then entered upon an investigation itself and unmended Mrs. Wade, superintendent of the Home for Friendless Coileren, at which institution Mabel lives. Mrs. Wade testified that she knew the parent of the child; that they were of French decent and died several years age, and that Mabel, though unnatural y dark skinned, had no Negro blood in her veins. The patrons of the school had a committee present and after Mrs. Smith testified they consented to let their children return to school.

Tousands of white men in the north in the east, in the west, and even in the south, do not approve on the unjust discrimination against our people, and are ready and willing to aid us. Our cause is just and must prevail if we manfully, earnestly, and judiciously appeal to the heat and conscience of the American people for redress of our grievaned. Justice is not dead in the republic. The great Jehovah still lives watches over the destinies of nattons, and rules the universe. He will not be deaf to the cries of the afflicted. Our progress since emancipation and enfranchisement has been commendable. As workers we have been in the main, indus rious and frugal; seeking to acquire education for our children and home for our families. True we have not been illiterate, and in man of the union powe nor, we we not opposers: no white man ever lost a personal or political right when we shared in making laws nor have they been abridged in the exercise of the same when we helped to administer them. As citizens, thoughtful of the rights of those who differ politically with us, we have been true to the great party which has contributed so much to our redemption and growth. The industrial, politics] and social elements of the race make an aggregate of forces to large fo the American people to ignore and deprive them of any rights enjoyed by any other class of citizens.

"It is in my power to prevent it, there will be no lynching in Cross County as a result of the tragedy in which the three daughters of Thomas Gibson lost their lives early yesterday morning." So said Sheriff A. Hemmet in a brief speech to a mod of one thousand men this morning. The sheriff had just returned to Wynne after spiriting away David Cross, the Negro who had confessed to the triple murder and assault. Five minutes after the he rode into this village the sheriff was called upon to make known the whereabouts of Cross. He refused in no uncertain terms, and emphasized the statement that if violence was attempted it would be a bad day for participants. Later the sheriff left town to join his deputies and tonight it was announced that Cross had been safely landed behind the bars of the Paragould jail.

ELIZA DUDLEY. Administratrix of the Estate of Anthony Dudley, deceased. Get Money. Proffessor Branson, in a recent address before the students of the Georgia State Industrial College at Savannah, Ga., urged his hearers to be practical and to fit themselves for greater usefulness in life. He said that he had very little respect for the man who, at thirty years of age, was not living under his own vine and fig tree. He quoted a mark of George Foster Peabody, that it is better to raise two potatoes than to play one piano. The trend of his remarks showed him to be a firm believer in the utilitarian school. If we correctly understand him, he would perhaps spend but little time on the esthetical studios, but would only teach those things which may be tured to practical value. All of this goes to show how deep and how strong a grasp the industrial idea has been great fruit at the State College for nowhere else in the have the students erected so fine and imposing an edifice as right there on the college campus. Judging from the various reports from over the state regarding the throwing out of thousand ballots it cannot be said that the Republican victory is so much to crow over. The exact standing of the Fusionist cannot be determined we believe it would be unfair to a till the present informers ballot was done awaith. The peculiarity of this year's election returns are that the majority of the ballots thrown out were Fusionist. We do believe in acting the part of a baby in defeat. We do believe in decency and purity in dealing with the people's suffering if such a thing was possible. The entire vote east in the recnt election should be thrown out. The Republican party did just what its representative had in mind when the election law by which the recent card was mab at what they accomplished. multinatly Atmospheric Waves. The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, par 'lel lines of clouds sometimes make their appearance at a great height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves running miles above our heads.—Chicago Chronicle. Every man must blow his own horn nowadays, and judicious advertising is the great horn that enables many to make themselves heard in the din of competition.—Jewelers' Circular-Weekly. FOLKENBURG FOUND GUILTY. Convicted of First Degree Murder Kansas City. Kansas. Kansas City, Mo.—Fried Folkburg, charged with killing his wife in Argentine July 31, was convicted of murder in the first degree in the common pleas court in Kansas City, Kas. Monday afternoon. The case went to the jury at 3 o'clock. After forty minutes deliberation the verdict was returned. Folkburg wept and moaned while benign taken to the county jail. The technical penalty for murder in the first degree in Kansas is death by hanging. The convicted prisoner must, however, be kept in the state penitentiary one year before the sentence is executed and then it can only be done after a court order. No governor has ever authorized a death and the penalty has become to be looked upon as imprisonment for life. At 7 o'clock Monday evening Folkeng堡's three daughters and his brother-in-law and sister-in-law went to the county jail in Kansas City, Kas, to say good-bye. They had left the court house at the conclusion of the arguments and gone to Argentine to prepare for their return to Winfield, Kaa. When they met Folkeng堡 all began to weep. Folkeng堡 repeatedly assured his daughters that he knew nothing the killing of their mother, John Sanchez, had done and assisted the state in the prosecution, and Daisy and Margie Folkeng, 17 and 14 years old, respectively, were the principal witnesses. Fred Fokenburg was charged with shooting his wife in the head, as she lay on her bed in their home in Argentina about 3 o'clock on the morning of July 31. The daughters testified that their parents had quarreled, and a neighbor said she saw Fokenburg practicing with a revolver a few days before the shooting. Fokenburg had confessed to several persons that he had intended to commit suicide, and that at his wife's request he shot her, and these statements were introduced in evidence. A clairvoyant, who had warned Fokenburg that his wife wr. unfaithful, was supposed to have influenced him in his discouraged state of mind. The defense was insanity. Two Republican Ticke's Cape Girardeau county will have two county tickets in the field this fall. Each will support the regular state nominees, but have separate county tickets. A petition containing 1,006 names was presented to Secretary of State Cook Monday for the nomination of an independent ticket for that county with the Republican state nominees on it, and with C. G. Thilenius as a candidate for representative, and a complete county ticket. Thilenius has been the Republican representative to that county for several years. He was nominated for the convention, and he is making the race as an independent candidate. The nomination was certified to the secretary of state in order that the regular Republican state nominees go on the ballot. This ticket practically insures the election of the entire Democratic ticket in that Republican county. Two Dead. Springfield, Ill.—Two men were killed, four fatally and others seriously injured Monday afternoon in an explosion at Victor mine, Pawnee, eighteen miles from here. The dead: W. V. Overcash, aged 30, single. Michael Loris, aged 27, single. Fatally injured: Frank Isaacs, aged 14, breaker boy, dying. **viking:** Peter Green, head and body crushed, died tragically, beheaded. John Burke, frightfully bruised. George Worley, bruised and burned. Others injured were Daniel Reece, John Dick, William Sparling, John Pick, Peter Cerowich, Jerome Sproule, Peter King, Joseph Buchner. The explosion occurred just before the day force of 190 men went off duty and was caused by too much powder in a blast, the concussion causing coal dust, which thickly overhung the mine, to explode with great force. SARSERS WHO MAKE MONEY. The itinerant barber of today who corresponds to the early idea of this personage by going in their homes and not awaiting them in his own or his employer's shop, is by no means a figure of the past in New York, but proppers here still say, the New York Sun. These barbers are working who have acquired a following of their own and find customers enough who want to be shaved at home to insure them a living. They are able with a limited number to get along, as the expense involved is not great. There is for instance, no rent, and this makes it possible for a barber to succeed with a more limited number of patrons than might otherwise be thought necessary. The number of these men has greatly increased during the past years and they represent the barbers who are fearful of undertaking the responsibility of their own shops and are yet desirous of being more independent than the ordinary employee. The most successful of these barbers are usually more desirably placed than their employers. They have no responsibility and earn a regular income as well as being treated with consideration by their bosses, who are always anxious to keep such men. The itinerant barber who serve their clients at their own homes are able to do this at only a slight advance on the usual amount. Sent out from the shops they receive four times as much as would be asked in them. THE CELL OF NOTABLES. Occupied by Earl Russell, Stead and Edmund H. Xater In connection with the cell of Hallway jail where Earl Russell served his sentence for bigamy it is said that it was formerly occupied by the English journalist, W. T. Stead, and the poetilist, Edmund H. Yates. The affairs in which they were engaged, although they caused a tremendous sensation at the time, are now almost forgotten. Stead, it may be remembered, was largely in the eye of this country about six years age as the author of a book, "If Christ Should Come to Chicago," that was regarded as so blasphemous the big-wests companies refused to handle it. In 1886 Stead created a remarkable commission by alleging that English society was permitted by the most horrible generality. A body of gentlemen, composed of some of the most eminent in the kingdom, sifted his charges and the result was that new laws were proposed and passed regulating the subject matter of his allegations. In proving them, however, Stead was guilty of a technical violation of the law, and for this he had to undergo prison detention for three months. The offence for which Yates was imprisoned took place in 1874 and consisted of an alleged libel in his newspaper, the World, on the Earl of Lonsdale. While not the writer of the article himself he refused to divulge the name of its author and so subjected himself to penalty. A Wonderful Chinese Temple A Wonderful Chinese Temple. A temple to reach which one has to climb up 6,000 stone steps, is to be found in China, on the top of the holy mountain, Tai-schan, which is about 6,000 feet above Tainganfu, and the distance somewhat over sixteen miles. About a mile north of the city walls is a gate leading to an avenue several miles in length, lined with temples, convents, holy shrines, and thousands of beggars. The real ascent begins at a stone portal at which, according to its inscription, the great Confucius himself halted and turned back 2,600 years ago, not having the strength to climb the 6,000 stone steps leading to the top. These Tai-schan stairs are by far the highest in the world, for taking the number of steps in one story of an ordinary dwelling to be twenty, the number of Tai-schan steps equals 300 stories. After climbing the 6,000 steps the visitor passes through the Gate of Heaven and stands on the large plateau at the summit, which is covered with numerous temples and stone monuments. British Cabinet Wages The annual "wages bill" of the British cabinet is no light sum—at present it nearly reaches £100,000; or, to be exact, it amounts to £94,550. Of the cabinet as at present constituted the best paid is the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who receives £20,000 a year; the lord chancellor comes next with £10,000, and the lord lord chancellor's salary is £8,000. Seven ministers—respectively stationed at the foreign, colonial, war, India, treasury and home offices, and the chancellor of the exchequer—are paid £5,000 each, which is the standard salary for a secretary of state; while the first lord of the admiralty has £4,500. The remaining eight members of the cabinet are each given £2,000 per annum. The offices of the Irish chief secretary and of postmaster-general are respectively rated at £4,425 and £2,500. Wise of a Poacher. The otter, used by Scottish poachers, is one of the most deadly fishing instruments known. On some waters it is far more effective than a net. It may be described as a water-kite, which serves to take out over the water a line bearing fifty or more flies. The otter itself is a floating piece of board, leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poacher walks along the side of loch or river, letting out the fly-descorated line as he goes, the NOVEMBER 14 1902 in Their Welfare And it Drove Him from the Yosemite Back to New England. After a week of little journeys, stalking here and there a few miles to sorb the Yosemite, valley from a doe's denges of vantage, we were whispering the mantle one afternoon for a tann turt, say the World's Work. "Tomorrow," said a voice, "I shall take a shower bath under the seventeen hundred foot tail." "You," said another voice, "are a fool." "Not at all," came back argumentatively. "The river's very low. What there is of it to turn to pray in the first hundred feet; it will simply come down like rain. Why, you do uncover the Vell soulest. Only that's prosic. This is something big. Come on." "Not L." But I was there to see. The water, as he had said, came down, a considerable part of it, in rain and spray that flew out on the wind incredible distances. But to crawl down, dressed in a bathing suit, coser to the main stream than falls to the pool and upon the rocks with a murreous swish in the air and a roar like a railway train when it strikes was daring to tool hardiness. At any moment a veering the tail, the mass upon the tail sim figure learning to on all fours down the jagged talus slope, his eyeglass pebbles glinting cheerfully. A steady breeze kept the fall swung out a little the other way and the spray burgeoned out far up the other slope. The roar was deafening. All at once the wind shifted, the water swung back, and in a hash the human figure was blotted out in a dehuge that turned me sick. For a second—that seemed an hour—it *payed out* on spot headlessly, it seemed to me standing horrified tears, and that stewy it swept away. And then there was a moment, a painful, crawling moment, down the on the slope, and I scrambled down the slippery rocks to neap a binking creeping, much surprised youth, bleeding from a hundred cuts, up to where his clothes lay. he was still too dazed to speak. When his breath returned and his extra glasses were perched again on his nose, he said: "The oceans feel upon me. For God's sake, come back to New England!" Curious Resemblance. A curious resemblance exists between ex-Speaker Reed and Pat Sheedy, the noted gambler—especially odd from the fact that, though the big lawyer is often mistaken for the sporting man, the latter is very seldom honored by the reverse error. Mr. Reed sometimes has considerable difficulty in making it clear that he knows naught of horse racing, card games and other sinful amusements. TOO MUOH OF A PROBLEM. Astronomer Couldn't Get Line on Young Man ah His Best Girl "In science," said the young man, "I have heard you say that the same law, when applied to the motions of all individualized aggregations of atoms, applies with equal persistency, and that, so long as we know what this law is, we can work out any problem to its ultimate conclusion, provided the conditions be such as to determine the nature of the problem." "Precisely." "We have, then, two bodies of polarized, aggregated animalcule (one of the first degree of density in Marshall's law, and the other of the second), alternately attracted and repulsed by the vibratory motion of Kepler's fourth equation. Moving together through space at the rate of seventeen miles per second, they are retarded by a fractional atmospheric pressure of one ohm to a specific gravity of 3,000 a year respectively. The varying degrees of density being duly considered, at the end of thirteen years and six months, what will be their respective relations?" "Where are these bodies at present located in regard to the sun?" "They are in the shade." The kindly old astronomer laid his hand on the other's arm. "My son," he said, nothing is easier in mathematics, once having the point of departure, the rate of speed and the relative degrees of density, to arrive at the location of two moving spatial objects, but I confess I am utterly powerless to get a line on you and your best girl." New York Life. A belief in witchcraft still prevails in parts of Lancashire, also in the isle of Man, and still more strongly in the Hebrides. Stones were formed into the shapes of beetles by the ancient Egyptians. They regarded the beetle as an emblem of immortality, and hence it was the most popular of all forms of ornament. Counterfeit beetles of common stones were commonly buried with dead persons, and it was customary to pay upon them the expression of wishes for future repose and happiness, dedications of the soul to God and various bieroglyphs. One of the latter was a bieroglyph with a human head, symbolizing resurrection. Another, the vulture, meant maternity. A goose was the son of a king. "She had just refused a man worth a million." "Is it possible? Any rational explanation of her act?" "Oh, yes. She had just accepted another man worth a million." Blobbs—Do you consider it good luck to pick up a pin?

The desert and range men of Arizona and California are all big, and they are members of his party only the biggest of them. He is six feet three himself. But the average height of the Seri Indians, the canibals of Tiburon, is said to be seven feet.

Although the island is claimed as a part of the territory of Mexico, the Seri Indians own no allegiance to President Obama, and today live in as force savagery as before the coming of the white men. "Arizona Charlie," who in private life is Charlie Meadows, of Santa Clara, Cal., holds a deed to the island from the Mexican government, and is authorized to take possession by whatever means he may find necessary. Governor Torres, of the state of Sonora, Mexico, has agreed to accompany the party, and offers to lend any military aid needed to support successful landing. Prof. W. J. McGee, in charge of the American ethnological bureau of Washington, has been invited to accompany the expedition, and probably will make this the occasion for another visit to the Seris. So far as known Prof. McGee is the only white man who has been among these Indians and escaped a war. The Seris have never been conquered and it is not believed they ever will be. They may be exterminated, but never subjected to any rule not of their own making. It is the belief of Mexicans on the Conora ranches, across the channel from the island, that the islanders are cannibals. Time and again small expeditions have sailed to the island, intending to explore it, but they have reached only the beach, or at most one or two miles inland, where they were set upon by the natives and driven out. The Serils, in very recent years, have made sorties on the ranches of the main land, going even as far as Guaymas, and have carried off to their island Mexican women and children, taking them across the Angustura del inferno (the strait of Hell), where at low tide the island is but a step from the Sonora mainland. In the company that will sail from San Pedro in the steam yacht San Diego will be none but men of proved courage, crack shots and experienced in the sea. Nearly all of them have spent years on the desert and ranges, where the rule of the survival of the fittest applies, and as they are alive they must be fit. Two conspicuous members of the company will be "Del" Lewis, sheriff of Cochise county, Ariz., and J. H. Thompson, sheriff of Gila county, Arizona. Nothing more is needed as a voucher for courage of these men than the statement that they have lived to serve the terms of their offices. Lewis and Thompson are crack shots. In the early days they rode the range with "Arizona Charlie," and, like him, with Thompson rid his county of Apache. Thompson rid his county of Apache and is now serving his fifth term as sheriff. Lewis ran the outlaws out of Gila county, and is now living so peaceably that he fears he is becoming lazy. Then there is Charles Cowels, who gained frontier fame as a member of the Earp gang, and "Arizona Charlie's" three brothers. They are younger than the leader, but their careers have been scarcely less eventful. "Arizona Charlie" says of them that "they were brought up on the San Carlos reservation among the Apaches, and they know every trick of an Indian, from industry to the happy hunting ground." The army is "much more obly" Meadows, "Jim" is a cattleman, "Jake" is marshal of Yuma, and "Mobly," the younger of the brothers, is a manager for the Imperial Land and Irrigation company, on the California side of the Colorado river. He is the "Kid" Meadows of Wild West show fame, and is the acknowledged champion rough rider of the West. Charles Meadows, the knight banneret of the expedition, is a typical cowboy—just a figure to adorn the first page of a boys' story paper. He is by no means the rough and wild person that the book title "Little Red Riding Hood" indicates him to be, but is as modest of manner as a hazed freshman and as polished as a society figure. His conversation is that of the well-informed traveler—not a bit of the wild and woolly Westerner. In stature than dashing king of cowboys is six feet three, as lithe as one of J. Fennimore Cooper's Indian heroes, and in years he is still a cowboy. His three brothers are taller than Charles. He has traveled twice around the world with his Wild West show, and since abandoning that career, ex- MAKING PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH The Old-Fashioned Way of Earnest Beautiful Service. "Why do not workingmen go to church?" That is a question which certain pastors have been trying to find an answer to, by the aid of a systematic inquiry—a sort of personal canvass. The answer to it seems at first blush to be decidedly easy. Workingmen do go to church. All workingmen do not go to be sure, but millions do church attendance is nonnec me, many of class than labor itself is. Nearly all Americans are decidedly workers. Possibly it should be explained that the inquiry was directed toward clearing up the point why so many manual laborers abstain from church attendance. This makes the proposition considerably simpler; and yet it is in no sense surprising that the inquirers found themselves completely balked. The question is hardly knew, themselves, why they did not go, except that they did not care to. The futility of such personal inquiry ought to suggest itself, perhaps, by this time. Religious people are agreed that, if great numbers of people do not wish to go to church, it is desirable to make them wish to go by rendering the services more attractive to them. Out of this conclusion many undignified proceedings have sprung, which, though they have attracted passed crowds must in the long run make to make still more people feel that they did not want to go to church. Among such merestrious attractions ought to be classed the girl whistlers and their EDITORIAL NOTES "The effect of a woman's costume is very perceptibly influenced by the way she dresses her neck"—if she dresses it at all. The police captain in New York who dropped dead, leaving $100,000 in his station house desk, must have been a very economical man. The days of ping-pong are numbered. They are playing piff-piff in London, don't you know, with a pair of bellows, a small balloon and a net. Complaint is entered against the rector of an Episcopal church in New York that he sleeps too much. That is trenching upon the privileges of the parishers in the pews. Western books agents have formed a union, and will try to get into the American Federation of Labor. Don't worry, they'll get in all right, even if they find it necessary to insert a foot in the crack in the door. Rev. S. H. Woodruff of Springfield remains in that city at $1,500 a year, having refused a $7,000 pastorate, an exemplification of practical religion which cannot be questioned. Many of the men in blue who tramped the streets of Washington in 1865 and who in 1902 marched up Pennsylvania avenue will never again be cheered on parade at the national capital, but their memory shall live on forever. The dissolution of the Welsh Congregation association of western Pennsylvania, because of the general adoption of the English language, was premature. Everybody will be writing and speaking Welsh this winter, if we buy our coal in Wales. According to the forthcoming biennial report of the Texas commission of agriculture, net railroad earnings in that state increased 111 per cent. in 1901 over those in 1897. For the latter year they were $8,166,288, and in 1901 they were $17,243,982, or $9,076,964 more net earnings in 1901 than in 1897. There is plenty of room in this country for the young man, and there is abundant opportunity for the best work he has in him. The trouble with our youth is that there is also a plenty of room in him for initiative and for the fineness of temper which should send him forth to conquer. If you want to see your picture in the papers all the time, get elected to the presidency of any sort of an organization and keep the organization busy. But this means your fine features may be as well known in time as those of Douglas, the shoe man, Mennen the talcum man or even Lydia herself. The suicide of Jim Younger, the noted bandit and highwayman, is the tragic ending of a mississip life. For over a quarter of a century Jim Younger was an inmate of the Minnesota state prison, and when he secured his freedom by parole, he did not know how to use it. He will not be missed. You can't expect to plow an American farm with a forked stick, as the Eastern peoples plow theirs. Neither can you run a complicated social system like ours with antiquated laws. When we find our laws inadequate to handle any question it is time to examine the machinery to see where the trouble is. The problem of forest preservation is one of the most important with which we have to deal. The continued fertility of our farm lands depends directly upon the conservation of the forests, and the wasteful methods of the average lumberman, of the pulp mills and the necessities of the present coal famine do not help matters in the least. The world was never at rest and never will be. Each generation has its own problem to solve and it rests with the men of the times to decide whether reason or war shall pass the decree. The civil war could easily have been averted, but the headstrong statesmen of that time could not listen to reason. The questions of today are economic in nature and ought to be settled by calm arbitration; it will be better for all of us if we can bring ourselves to a realization of how the other side sees us, if we can put away passion and prejudice, if we will seek information and if we will act as we know to be right. If long lists of jewels sold by auctioneers are any indication, a large portion of London must be hard up for many of such gewgaws. Every week now diamond rings, brooches, necklaces, earrings and bracelets are dispersed under the hammer. Rubles and emeralds and turquoise add to the value of these ornaments which have served their purpose and must now be eaten or pay taxes. Auction experts declare that pick up bargains at these sales, despite the announcement that "diamonds" are booming and scarce in the market. The agricultural department is introducing new and useful plants into this country all the time. At present much attention is given to plants adapted to the arid sections of the West, and date palms, bamboo, Egyptian cotton—"real maco" as the advertisers say—and a species of alfalfa that it is hoped will grow in alkaline soil, are receiving attention. The most marked feature of the Grand Army encampment in Washington last week was the absence of about all the great commanders. They have all passed on. RITY of the bravest men of the West will be members of "Arizona Charlie's" expedition to Tiburon, the cannibal island in the Gulf of California; forty men who are the first to know who can endure any hardship, who will fight, any cept for a few months of successful mining in the Klondike, has spent his time in the large cities of the East and West. "Arizona Charlie" is today one of the most interesting characters of the West, not alone for his marked personality, but for his record on the range. Almost his first experience with Indians was soon after his parents had removed from California to Arizona, when in an uprising of the Tonto Apaches both of his parents were massacred. The next year, he was murdered by the murder, an oath which was not forgotten, as the record of subsequent Indian nurlings proves. He was engaged as a scout, and in many encounters with the Apaches in the wars made by Chief Victoria and Geronimo, the last great Indian wars, in which General Lawton was a conspicuous leader of the soldiers engaged. "Arizona Charlie" organized a band of about 100 cowboys, who for more than a year neglected their fields to fight the Indians. On one occasion he was in hand to hand conflict with Chief Geronimo and gave that wily savage the only wound which he received during the long war. When Geronimo had been captured and was trial, Arizona Charlie" being a witness, confronted the old warrior. "I have nothing to say, I want nothing," the Indian answered the military board. "only that you give me a gun, that I may shoot this man." Geronimo made no other request during the trial. The cowboy knight is now spending his time between San Francisco and Los Angeles, collecting fares and arms and preparing for the trip to Tiburon. Stores and provisions sufficient for the trip will be carried. But first of all, and far more important in this undertaking, is that the San Diego will be a veritable little battleship. Two five-inch rapid fire Maxim guns will be mounted on the forward deck, and in the armory be the Mauser rifle. Mauser rapid fire pistols will be hunting small game or for fighting at close range, if that becomes necessary. But for all the war-like preparations "Arizona Charlie" thinks that there will be very little fighting to do. He is confident that his large force will oversee the Indians and that they will be glad to make peace. "If I thought that there was any great danger in the trip I would abandon it," said the leader, discussing his plans. "There was a time when I could be counted in on any pertinent chance," he said with enough; all that I asked was that there was a big element of danger. But I am well enough fixed now and I don't need to take any such chances. I don't expect to have to do much fighting to gain possession of the island, and if I succeed I will buy the land." Men who are familiar with the California Gulf islands and who have had opportunity to observe the natives of Tiburon do not agree with "Arizona Charlie's" views of the ease with which is Captain Lewis B. Burrow. One of these is Captain Emma B. Louise, who navigated the gulf in the guano trade among the islands. Returning from a voyage, he had this to say of why he did not land on Tiburon: "We had intended to go ashore at Tiburon island and prospect for gold, but for a variety of causes we changed our plans. For one thing, I never lost any wild-eyed cannibals with paint-tipped knives. I learned while in the southern country that Lieutenant R. E. L. Robinson and his partner, Logan, were surely killed, and probably eaten by the Seris on Tiburon. I talked with a survivor of the party, a Mexican, who gave me the details of the case. And when I went to Tiburon and anchored off the shore to see the Indians I believed the story. Such a degraded, repulsive and utterly degraded people I never had seen." Once President Diaz was about to send soldiers to the island to rid of the dangerous degradation that exists, but before the command was given the Washington ethnological bureau asked for data of the queen race of people before it was extinct, and that was the last heard of either the data or the expedition. It is believed that there are 300 persons on the island and that one-third of the number are men. Because they have fought every manner of man that has come within their reach, refusing except in rare instances, to trade with the islanders, and never acquiring any of the tools and customs of civilization they have deprived themselves of modern weapons, against which their bravery, backed only by hows and arrows and battle axes and war clubs, is impotent. They have learned a limited use of such arms as have been taken from victims of their murderous instinct, but, despite their ammunition except that which they have used to the arms, and the small quantities which the women can bring from the main land. In late years the men of the islanders never go to the neighboring shore, although the women and children often visit the ranches and even the towns on the Sonora shore. The origin of the Seri Indian is a man. There are no Indians like them elsewhere, the North American continent, and they resemble none of the South American tribes but the Patagonians. solos, and all sorts of mountaineer performances and utterances in the pulpit and out of it. These aids are to be classed, roughly of course, with yellow journalism. Their purpose is to excite people's curiosity—to make them come to what the erotic minister or the fantastic choirmaster is going to do next. The old-fashioned way of making people want to go to church—the method of giving them a simple, earnest, beautiful service of adoration and heartfelt worship—still serves quite as well as any other. Services of this sort are not confined to any church or denomination. They are to be found, and denominations at all the large denominations at the same person has his particular notion of the person that his adoration should take, and for that reason there are the two-and-seventy seets. There is in our diverse, our many-sided American church, a religious home for everybody. The doors of the churches are wide open. They are not only willing to welcome anybody—they are anxious. There is no church so rich, no church so exclusive, but that is why the working manmay be a place there, at some service, another; and if there are churches so well attended that ordinarily no place is left for the stranger, those churches at least must have solved the problem of attraction.—New York Mail and Express.

No trace has been discovered of the robbers. Albert Dixon, a negro boy 8 years old, died from fright at a Leavenworth hospital. He was about to be operated on to remove a small abscess from his leg as the result of a splinter. He became very nervous and excited as the nurse was preparing him for the operation and when the doctor removed his coat to begin work the boy fell over on the floor dead. State Superintendent Frank Nelson is receiving reports from the rural districts showing that "Pioneer Day" was quite generally observed in the schools. It was Nelson who suggested that the schools observe October 31 as "Pioneer Day" and that appropriate programmes containing information of the early history of Kansas be rendered.

Colonel Loomis made a big hit at the national encampment at Washington recently and his friends commander-in-chief next year. Kansas has more old soldiers, compared to population, than any other state in the Union, and yet it has never furnished a commander-in-chief for the G. A. R. Missouri has furnished two. The raven of Southern Europe is a bold fellow—not unlike his cousin, the crow. Some notices of the bird, given by an English traveler in Corsica, offer amusing proof of this. A youth whom I employed to carry my camera could never look on ravens with any equanimity, for he had suffered much from their thievish impudence when sent to the bush to gather firewood. On one occasion he lost his dinner, a loaf of bread wrapped in a napkin, although he was working close to the spot where he had laid it and had turned his back for only a minute. But the man immediately insulted he had received happened on a day when he was out gathering wood. As he was stooping down to bind a bundle of fagots a raven suddenly swooped from behind, lifted the cap from his head and flow away with it to a lofty crag, from which she uttered croaks of triumph. The cap was subsequently seen lined with straw and serving for a nest. "I knew a fine, black poole who adorned his master," said a dog lover, "The master lay dying a few weeps ago. The dog, who had been lige his shadow, so closely did he follow him, now shunned the sick room, wandering about alone, and most miserable. Before his master died he set up the howling that the superstitious say foretells death. When all was over, the poole crept under the bed, and whined piteously there the whole long day. The survivors left the country house where the death had occurred, and brought the poor dog with them into town. For several days the poole absolutely refused to touch food, and his human friends feared he must die of starvation. A neighbor writes of him: "Now, whenever he passes his late master's door he turns his head away. He cannot bear to see that door. Surely, that is "sentiment."" H. R.

"Well," answered Gratsy, apologetically, "I guess I came to rob you, but a man who is going to kill himself ought not to mind that much." "Why did you interfere? You could have done what you wanted to do all the easier if I had." Gratsy shook his head. "A shot makes a noise and draws a crowd. I might have had trouble persuading them who did the shooting.

Knowing that electricity had been used in lighting the house, the man who was putting in the gas range asked the mistress of the house if she would know how to use it. Certainly, she replied. And to show how much she knew, she forthwith turned on the gas. It made a noise, but no light appeared. She turned it off, then on again, but still there was no sign of a blaze.

Today Mr. Ayers is as well as man could wish. He tells the following story: "About a year ago I was at West Camp, sick with Bright's Disease and without hope of ever being better, when an old gentleman from Bath, N. Y., advised me to take Dodd's Kidneys Pills, telling me they had cured him of the same disease. "I had tried so many remedies that I was past hoping and told him so, but when he brought me a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and coaxed me to try them I did so just to humor his whim. "That was the means of saving my life. I took that box and half a dozen more. Thanks to that old man and Dodd's Kidney Pills, I am cured."

"But nowadays the only way a man can convince people that he has brains is to get money."—Washington Star "An inquest is quite an enquiry, even in a city," said the man who has made a trip through the backwools of Wisconsin, "but they don't take much interest in them in the lumber camp I was at a camp when a saw log roped off a flat car and over a man and mashed him flat. It was just at noon and nobody was disposed to lose any time. "See here, men," called the foreman to a gang, "we've got to get this thing over with before we go to dinner. Six of you stand around." "Six of them come up and stood in a circle, and the foreman continued: "Now, then, there's the log and that Bill, and as Bill couldn't roll over the log we must take it that log rolled over him. Verdict of the jury is that he came to his death by accident and will be buried after quick time tonight, and now it has a dinner, and may heaven rest upon his soul forever." Three hundred and sixty-five tons represented the entire amount of anthracite coal marketed in this country in 1820. In 1899 the country produced over 53,000,000 long tons of pennsylvania anthracite. Before the year 1898 hard coal was practically unknown except in a few grates in the houses of people of means. Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History tells the story which sounds quaint in these days, of the first finding of coal. It was in 1790 that an honest blacksmith, named Obadiah Gore, found coal lying on the ground in the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania. ePeople were not in a hurry in those days, and it was no less than 40 years afterwards that this slow-growing artisan tried the experiment of burning the coal for fuel, and found it successful. In the artery at Carlisle Pa., during the Revolution, the blacksmith's fires were fed by the new coal; but in 1806, when some enterprising person took two or three hundred bushels to Philadelphia, to be tried as ordinary fuel, the experiment fatly failed—Pittsburgh Times. Three trainmen were almost instantly killed Sunday by the explosion of a boiler of a Baltimore & Ohio locomotive at Halethrop. Traffic was delayed for three hours on account of the accident. Those who were killed were: Engineer F. W. Biggs, Fireman O. W. Hunt. President Roosevelt will make a trip through a part of the South next month, if official business should not make his presence in Washington necessary at that time. The primary object of the trip will be to enable the president to attend the reception to be tendered by the citizens of Memphis to General Luke Wright, vice governor of the Philippines. Subsequently, it is expected, the president will accept an invitation to participate in a bear hunt in the cranebrakes of Mississippi. The offerary occasionally yields its humors. I can see no fun myself in dropping into the plate buttons or permeint drops or gilded fardings. But these and other sich like votive offerings occasionally come our way. On one occasion a mild hint was given to a dirty-looking verger when a small coin was carefully wrapped up in a bit of paper inscribed, "For a bath for a prominent church official." On another occasion, when the officiating clergyman had been somewhat bungling through a difficult litter, a similar piece of paper was marked, "For a singing lesson for the curate." After a somewhat rambling discourse from one of my colleagues, who course of course be nameless, the church warded me that a man at the bottom of the church when he offered him the plate, took out a sixpence and looked at it ruefully and then cast it in with the remark, "Well, you shall have it, old fellow, but it's a deal more than that sermon was worth"—Cornhill Magazine. Don Emilio de Ojeda, the new Spanish minister, is almost certain to be a great favorite in Washington. He has a distinguished appearance, speaks English fluently, has a wide knowledge of literature, and as a painter easily might have made a career. Senior de Ojeda is, besides, a man of ample fortune. Citizen—It's time this giving away franchises to corporations for nothing was stopped. Politician—Well, you put our side in. We'll see they don't get 'em for nothing. Two gunboats, the Tampaica and the Vera Cruz, built for the Mexican government, were launched at Elizabethport, N. J., recently. Nine Mexican naval officers and fifteen cadets are supervising the construction of the vessels. Recent tests made by the Iowa, experiment station on the value of condiment foods in the fattening of stock are adverse to the use of such foods. Some brands of prepared food specially rich in protein and free from dye were fed to advantage, however. ‘i“pture — Pay A UISOLINE FNSINES | aro easy roatart and ansone fhe 'WeberJunlor” (| es saierntis Pumper cage | Diy) sia Ree eee sate l of yi sass ce Rae eee] Sh | CO ire ees : BE} | CIO) Ace Wie saa Catae eel CL S74 FZ Freina Co. ses ity, ha, _ | TRY PUBLISHERS CO., KANSAS CITY, VOL. 3.

Keep Warm and Comfort Yourself ‘Are Others Like You. |_, “I am willing to take my share of sickness that is absolutely necessary,” ‘sald a young business man one day Te- cently, says the Portland Express, “ut Tmust confess that I was disgusted when I discovered two weeks ago (hat 1 had a sweet attack of the mumps. I tried to delude myself that it was neu- xalgia, resulting from a bad head cold, but, finally, when the left side of wy face was protruding so that I had 10 carry a ten-pound weight in my risht hand coat pocket just to preserve my balance, I decided that it might be wise to ask a physician, “ ‘Mumps,’ said that worthy, ‘and they start in like very severe ones; go home, keep warm and comfort yourselt with the thought that there are plenty more at home like you, who for the first time in their lives know how they Would look if fleshy.” “ ‘But, doctor,’ I continued, ‘are you sure? Tbit a pickle this morning and it didn’t seem to bother me much.’ “ ‘That sour pickle business is like a good many other tests—superstition pure and simple. I know one man who firmly believes a piece of hempen twine tied around a toe will provent a corn coming there. The whole principle of that pickle business is right here: Open your mouth wide when your face is Swollen with mumps and the jaw bone will touch the inflamed and ‘enlarged glands, sending a shooting pain through the face, “When you bite a sour pickle you are thinking it 1s going to hurt and you open your mouth quick and pucker it around in such shape that you bring the jaw-bone against the swollen gland and you at once experience the sharp pain you expected, I have seen a man with a bad case of mumps suck a lem on, so that shows the acid test is not to be’ relied upon, although it may really work in some eases.” “Did you know,” continued the young business man, ‘that all of ought to be sure and cateh the mumps when we are youngsters. It’s frightfully humiliating when your society friends inquire afte: ‘you to have some one tell them you ‘are a fright with the mumps. It isn’t ‘a noble sickness somehow, but it's quite earnest while it lasts.” It might be imagined that Connectl- cut is called that “land of steady hab- its” on account of the exemplary con- duet of its citizens, But it obtained that title in a different manner. John R. Matthews told just how recently at the Waldorf-Astoria. “In the carly colonial times,” he said, “it was the custom to provide every one who as- sisted at a dedication, church building or barn raising with a ‘hooker’ of good Jamaica rum. ‘These functions, need- less to say, were popular, When th. charter creating Connecticut a crown colony arrived there was, of course, a celebration. ‘The first governor, John ‘Winthrop, refused to provide rum, and in his inaugural address deplored the custom of tippling, saying ‘it did not lead to steady habits. ‘Thereupon the Nutmeg state had a title to hand dowa to posterity.” ‘The young man stood before the grim old captain of industry and looi- ed him full in the face, “Well, sir,” said Horatius J, Hard- rox, “you wished to see me, I believe.” “No, sir. did not wish to see you. I om here not because I wish to be, but because it is necessary. You have a daughter. I will not ask you to sac- rifice any of your valuable time In lis- tening toa catalogue of her charms. You probably have noticed most of them, I will come down to business, sir, at once. She and I desire to merge our interests, and I trust that I have made no bull in hoping you may not take a bearish attitude toward the pro- posed combination.” “Trust—combination, bull and bear— merge? All right. Take her, my boy. You seem to be one of us."—Chicazo Record, President Schurrran of Corneil is cp- posed to shorteniug the A.

How A St. Louis Man Got Even at a Raactuna When men are broke they will often take long chances to reflll the empty purse. This story, from the Kinloch racetrack, is rather curious end decid- edly novi, to say th last: A well known young man, formerly of St. Louis, but now of the county, came to the city Monday. He had heen worked a short time ago on a $20 coun- terfeit bill and was in a quandry how to even up his loss, so he went to the ‘races at Kinloch and soon had dropped ‘every cent he had except the counter- felt $20, He looked sad and thought 9 | good deal, When a race came up at ten to one odds he boldly walked up to a hustling bookmaker and passed up ‘the $20 note, quickly calling out the horse he wanted it placed on, Bookie didn’t examine the bill closely, just tossing it In the box and tarowlng vut a ticket calling for $220. The race was called, and with vary- ing emotions the young man watched ‘the flyers around the track, and, to his Sreat joy, saw the horse come in first by a neck, He was not long in cashing his tiek- etplanting his bundle down dep in his Jeans and getting off the track. When he struck a quiet place he sat down and ordered something to calm his excited feelings. While the decoc- tion was being prepared he counted over his money, but before he got halt through he saw lis spurious $20 note ‘looking up at him. He didn’t kick, but quickly plucked it from the buneh, took out a clgar, then covlty walked over to the lighter and touched off that bad Dill, that had been so good to him. He lighted his smoker, watched the counterfeit turn to ashes, which ne had scattered with a breath, took 1s drink and walked out into the sunshine thinking how lucky he had been, but is not yet satistied whether he is’ just as honest as he would like to have the world believe him. It’s a mighty pe- culiar situation, and the young man is not satisfied with it. Sulil, no one has heard of him losing sleep over the af- fair, “Conscience doesn't make cow- ards of us all,” that's sure—St, Louis Globe-Democrat: A Cincinnati traveling man had ar- rived at a small settlement in the in- terior of Arkansas, and repaired to the Eagle House, which was situated on the outskirts of the town and on the bank of a stream. After a dinner of Side-meat and corn-bread he lighted a cigar and the proprietor said: “Strang- er, is thar anything we-uns kin do foh you-all?" ‘Thinking to confound his host the stranger answered: “Wal, ¥es, come to think of it, I'd like to hava @ bath.” The proprictor let his feet drop irom the railing upon which he had hoisted them, went into the house, and returned in a moment with a huge tin cup full of soft soap, a rough towsl, ‘and a pick and shovel, which he offered to his guest, “What's the pick and shovel for?" asked the traveling mau. “Well, stranger,” answered the land- lord, “th’ watul’s low, an’ yo'-all hey to dam up the creek.” ‘The inveterate smoker rushed into the oifice with a smile upon his face, “Made a great discovery!” he shout- ed. “Lu go down in history as a bene- factor of the race.” Naturally we asked him about it. “Instead of reserving the three rear seats of the open cars for smokers, I will have the three seats in front s0 re- served.” “But that will allow the smoke to blow back into the faces of the wo- men,” we protested, ‘Then the inveterate smoker looked on us with a pitying smile. “Not so;” said he. “When the three seats in front are reserved the women will flock to them, and then we smok- ers can use the three rear seats,” ‘Then it was we that recognized that our friend knew something about wo- ‘men.—What's the Use, The Tolland subm=rine Loat Gram- pus had her first surface trial trip re- cently, and so far as the tset went proved a success.

Sally Brought happiness to the Dying Margaret Bottome, in "Heart to Heart Talks" in the Ladies' Home Journal, relates this pathetic incident of her ministrations to the sick: "Just before I left for Europe last summer, a great box came to me filled with dolls, all dressed, and the request came with it that I should have them sent to a children's hospital. There is a hospital in New York for consumptive children, as well as for older people with the same disease, and I gave the dolls to a physician who is connected with that hospital. He said afterward he wished I could have seen the children trooping toward him, each carrying a doll. But the most touching thing to me was what the nurse told the doctor, that after every child was turned with a doll there were a number left, and the poor women dying with consumption asked if each might have a doll. They all wanted them, and to each the dolls were given, and the nurse said she could not have dreamed if they 'seeming a comfort to those poor sick women.

That was the beginning of the general use of the scientific mystery for street pavements. To-day over 234,000,000 square feet of street pavements in the United States and Canada are covered with asphalt. This asphalt pavement would make a boulevard twenty-six feet wide over 1,750 miles long and would reach from New York to New Orleans, and then have several miles for side streets.
