From 8 o'clock in the morning until close to 6 in the evening there are 5,000 typewriters grinding out letters for the United States government. During these hours there are, of course, 5,000 typewriter girls busily hammering the machines. Uncle Sam is the largest employer of typists in the country and should be the patron saint of the typewriter girl. The amount of manuscript his workers turn out would make even Clyde Fitch look dizzy. ADDRESS The Address of the National Preservation Association is its twenty forth annual meeting June 29, at Louisville Ky. an address which should be read if possible by every Aerican. Citizen be black or white, it is indeed a master peace of oratory from begending to end. The annual sermon of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was preached by Rev. Frank Willson C. G. M. at Ki Solomon Baptist church, the church was filled to standing in the isles. The greatest future was the paying the Enormous investment to the widow of Sir Edward. Whenever a new typewriter girl is employed in one of the departments names the machine and it is pursued for her. AN ABSENT MINDED ARTIST. Remarkable Act of Aberration Credited to Edward L. Henry. Edward L. Henry, the Academician, is considerably over sixty years old, but his youthful smooth face, aside from his gray hair, has deceived many persons. He is an inveterate joker, and also exceedingly absent minded, this is an actual experience he had at the Century club not long ago. It was a reception, and Mr. Henry was very busy talking to a fellow artist, when something irritated his ankle, he stopped down, lifted the edge of the bottom of one of the other man's userns legs, calmly scratched the other man's ankle just above the patent leather tie, and replacing the garment, went on talking, wholly oblivious of his action and apparently perfectly satisfied. Time of Stopping a Train Time of stopping at a recent convention of airbrakes are an interesting report was presented showing how the distance required for the stopping of trains had been reduced by the new high-speed brake. A train running, eighty miles an hour was stopped in 2,240 feet by the high-speed brake at 110 pounds, where ordinary pressure of seventy pounds was exactly half a mile to bring it to stand. Other train speeds and reductions in stopping distances were less: Fifty miles an hour, from 840 to 700 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,030 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,635 to 1,300 feet; seventy miles, 2,010 to 1,530 feet; seventy-five miles, 2,295 to 1,840 feet.

Bishop Coleman of Delaware at the annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Delaware assailed corruption in the state and said: "A man must be made to feel that what he would be afraid and ashamed to do in his own social relations he is to be equally ashamed to do in politics. He is not to be allowed to use his church membership as a cloak under whose protecting folds he may be guilty of all manner of deceit and fraud." To Purify Politics. Harcourt deceived tobacco in every form, and while premier of England said once reproachfully to a close personal friend, "You have been reproachfully to a close friend," The reply was, "I have been sitting for half an hour in the room of Sir William Harcourt, who is a great smoker." Mr. Gladstone said, with surprise, "I never knew he smoked. He must be always very careful in changing his clothes before he comes up to me." Harcourt being a member of the Gladstone cabinet. WHY THE HAM IS SO SALT. Packers Compelled to Use the Saline as Preservative. "We are having many complaints about the unusual saltiness of ham, bacon and canned goods this summer," said a butcher, who does a large family trade. "I suppose it is the same everywhere else. Standard goods that we have been able to recommend for years are salt as brine now. The packing houses tell us that it is because they are no longer permitted to use the preservatives that got such a raking over the coals after the Spanish war. They simply must pile on the salt or their hams and bacon won't keep. The packers will be obliged to find some way out of the difficulty, or they will have to go out of business altogether. In the trade we are noticing the falling off in orders from hotels and restaurants. No man wants a rasher of bacon or a slice of ham for breakfast if it is going to send him around with a raging thirst all day." NEW WORDS IN OUR LANGUAGE. Coined Expressions Guaranteed to Puzzle the Ordinary Citizen. New words, many of which are not found in the dictionaries, are cropping up to puzzle proofreaders. The introduction of the automobile has developed the term "garage," which is frequently used. It signifies a place where automobile parts are stored, to be assembled, or brought together when required. "Grog" is a term used by builders to designate broken brick. "Savage," as a verb, originated on the race course, and is now used in coursing circles. It signifies to make a vicious, unprovoked attack—usually by a stallion or a dog. "Racket store" is used in commercial circles to designate a store—often opened for temporary use—in which cheap goods are sold at "bargain prices." It some times includes what are usually termed "notions."—Typographical Journal. Peacocks Better Than Watchdogs. Peacocks Better Than Watchdogs. Bird fanciers are predicting a vogue for the peacock. They say that people who can afford it have been lately buying hundreds of them for their country places. Ornament is one consideration, but there is another thing that recommends the brilliant creature in a more practical way. Some one discovered not long ago that there is no watchdog equal to the peacock as a guardian against thieves and marauding tramps. Perched on the roof of an arbor or outbuilding of the estate, a peacock will announce in shrill, discordant notes that can be heard a mile away the presence of suspicious looking strangers within the grounds. Wardrobe for an Ocean Trips Wardrobe for all The day was not very long ago when the wardrobe necessary for crossing over to England was discussed with as great earnestness as to the preparation of a trousseau. Now with a couple of business suits, a heavy coat, a soft hat and a steamer trunk full of linen the regular traveler is ready for the voyage. There is always one man who wears his evening clothes at dinner and the curious thing about him is that he always looks as if he had never worn them before. But there is usually only one of this type, just as there is one of the man who appears on deck the last day out with a silk hat. -Outing. Why Du Chaillu Was a Bachelor. Why Du Chailu Was a Bachelor. The late Duke du Chillu was on one occasion asked why he had never married. "Well, once upon a time," he answered, without a smile, "an old African king who was very fond of me offered me my choice of 853 women as a wife. 'Your majesty,' I replied, 'if I should marry one of these beauties of yours there would be 852 jealous women here.' 'Well,' replied the king, 'that is easily settled. Take them all.' That was a little too strong for me, however, and, as I have never had such a field to choose from since, I am still a bachelor.' True Retailers of Chestnuts Joseph H. Choate told a story at a banquet. Chauncey M. Depew arrived late and in his turn told the same story. He did not understand the premature laughter and the lack of tumult when he concluded and asked his neighbor what was the matter. "You told Joe Choate's story five minutes after he had finished it." Mr. Depew laughed. "Choate's story?" he said. "Why, Adam told that to the snake at their first meeting. I knew Choate would tell it, but thought he allowed me." Theodore Quentin, a member of the Philadelphia reserve police, lately wrote to President Roosevelt asking why he gave his youngest son the unusual name of Quentin. The president answered that "the name Quentin is with us an old family name, coming from a French Hugenot refugee whoame to this country ever two centuries ago."

The Moral Committee of the Forum reported at the Metripolitan Baptist church on the fourth sunday in July, the programme was very interesting indeed Rev. Robert Mitchell D. D. delivered an able scholarly and pointed address Subject "The Duty of Christian Citizenship" The address made such a profound impression touching the morals of the city that a committee was appointed to include the moral committee of the forum and the ministers of the city to visit the Mayor and urge him to close the joints and policy officiies that are allowed to remain open in defiant volation of law, The Doctor certainly Scored the city government for its laxity in enforcing the law. The address will be long remembered by those who heard it. To say it was a masterly effort in putting mildly. C, U. Anderson L. Wood and D. spent last week in Leavenwo.th attending the 30th Annual Grand Session of the United Sons of Protection. Kev, J. B. Anderson Pasteor of the second Baptist church of Argentine left Wednesday for Cleuton Mo. where he will attend the Shiloh Baptist association which is in session there this week. We are proud to say that that the Daily American Citizen was growing rapidly up to the date of flood, we,we greatly encouraged by the people of this city they prove by, subscribing and paying for the paper that they appreciated our efforts in trying to establish a Negoo Journal among our race' never the less our bath towards the round of success in building up a first class Daily paper was not alone distroyed by the flood, for there are hundreds whose business was distroyed by the flood, for there are hundreds of people whose business were closed from the same cause, however we shall try try again in the near future. James Dogge and R. S. Hunt of Shreveport LA, made our office a pleasant call this week they say that our are people doing splendid in a business way but otherwise not so well. Rev. W. Drake went to Tonganoxie Kansas last Sunday and conducted the services at the first Baptist Church, Ambrose Dudley who has been ill for several weeks is improving, The Prince of Monaco, who was prevented by a motor cycle accident from delivering his lecture at the Royal Institution of London, is perhaps the first of living oceanographers. When the British Association last met in Edinburgh the royal scientist drew large audiences to hear his accounts of his experiments upon the routes followed by the waters of oceans themselves, as distinguished from the voyagers upon them. The gambler at Monte Carlo would thus seem to serve science. Priest to Study at Yale. Rev. Francis D. McShane, one of the Dominican fathers connected with the St. Mary's church in New Haven, has just completed arrangements with the officials of Yale university by which he is to become a member of the senior academy class for 1904. He will begin his studies with the seniors next fall for the degree of bachelor of arts. This is the first instance of a Catholic priest with a parish appointment entering Yale for a degree or for study of any kind. W. S. Gilbert's Correction. W. S. Gilbert, formerly of Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera fame, wrote as follows to a London newspaper recently: "There is a line in your issue of May 15 that must have sent a thrill of joy through many a worthy home. I refer to the line in an article headed 'A Naval Battle,' in which I am referred to as the 'late W. S. Gilbert.' I am always sorry to spoil sport, but common cander compels me to admit (reluctantly) that I am still alive." LEINBAGH WALL PAPER The peoples friend and only cut rate (SHOE) Maker Dealer in K. C. K.

Free Theater Tickets People in Paris, who are interested in giving women girls a bit of pleasure now and then, have devised a scheme where worthy girls receive two tickets to a good theater once in a while.

There is plenty of proof of this: "I had suffered from stomach trouble for six years and for most of the last two years had been confined to my bed, the trouble having become chronic in spite of the very best medical attention. I had always been a coffee drinker, but for the past year I could not drink it at all because it made me so nervous I could not sleep and my appetite was almost entirely gone. "Then some friends advised me to try the predigested food Grape-Nuts and about three months ago I did so and since that time my improvement has been so rapid that my customers and friends are astonished and every day someone remarks upon my changed condition. I have gained 15 pounds, sleep well, my appetite is good and my digestion is perfect. Where I have lived on milk and light diet for years I now eat most anything I want and don't suffer any inconvenience either. The way Grape-Nuts food has built up my stomach and strengthened my nervous system particularly is just wonderful. "I drink your food drink, Postum, too, and no longer feel the want of coffee. There is absolutely no doubt that leaving off coffee and using Grape-Nuts and Postum has brought me out of my bed from an invalid back to fine health." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

WAS IN THE SERVICE FORTY-TWO YEARS Leaves a Good Record in Spite of Handicaps—Not a West Pointer—Fought His Way Up From a Lieutenancy—Made a Brigadier General for Bravery in Action. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army, was retired from active service at noon Saturday, having reached the age limit of 64 years. The following order was prepared Friday and issued Saturday: Washington, Aug. 8, 1903. "The retirement from active service by the president, August 8, 1903, of Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., by operation of law, under the provisions of the act of congress approved June 30, 1882, is announced. Lieutenant General Miles will proceed to his home. The travel enjoined is necessary for the public service. "By order of Secretary of War. "H. C. CORBIN. "Adjutent General, Major General, U. S. A. Several other orders resulting from the retirement of General Miles have been issued, one assigning Lutentant General Young to the command of the army until August 15, when he will assume the duties of chief of staff; another assigning Major General Corbin as president of the Soldiers' home board; another Brigadier General Gillespie as president of the board of ordnance and fortifications, and still another assigning Lieutenant General Young as a member of the Sherman statue commission. General Miles has issued the following address on the occasion of his retirement from active service: "General Order No. 115. In accordance with the provisions of the act of congress of June 30, 1882, the undersigned will retire from the active service August 8, 1902. "In relinquishing the command of the army of the United States, to which he was assigned by the president, October 2, 1895, he hereby acknowledges his appreciation of the fidelity manifested by the officers and soldiers during the past eventful years. "To those who were his companions and associates during one of the greatest of all wars, he takes pleasure in expressing his gratification that they have lived through the trials and dangers of long service to witness the results of their fortitude, heroism and unselfish devotion to the welfare of their country. They have also in a most commendable manner exemplified to the younger generation of soldiers those principals of discipline and patriotism which make the army the protector and defender and never the menace, of the nation and its liberties. "The time and occasion are considered opportune for expressing to the army a few thoughts concerning its past and that which may affect its future welfare. It is from the best impressions and influences of the past that the most desirable results may be realized in the future. "The events of recent years have placed upon the army a new obligation and an opportunity for a broader exemplification of this country's principles. The United States Army is now brought into daily communication with millions of people to whom its individual members of every grade are the exponents of American civilization. A serious duty and a great honor are now presented to every officer and soldier, namely, to exemplify to those with whom he comes in contact our country's principles of equal and exact justice, immunity from violence, equality before the law, and the peaceful use and possession of his own. "Marked changes at different times have occurred in the strength and organization of the army, resulting from diverse influences, and various experiments have been tried. Time has rectified errors in the past and will do so in the future." "The lieutenant general has faith that under all circumstances the army will maintain its high character, and that its future will be as honorable and glorious as has been its history in the past. His earnest solicitude and best wishes will ever follow the fortunes of the army." "NELSON A. MILES, "Lieutenant Generals, Commanding." Mabel McKinley Quits the Stage. LOS ANGELES, CAL. — (Special.)

Stomach Trouble. Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally Called Dyspepsia — Something to Produce Artificial Digestion is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Has Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which X. U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a recent letter to The Peruana Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C., says: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is intended a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic."—M. C. Butler. The only rational way to cure dyspepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods. Peruna has cured more cases of dyspepsia than all other combinations, indeed, if your Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh. EDUCATIONAL.

Wheelhouse, staff worker, Adrien Smith, painter, Phineas L. Going, carpenter, Charles Covington, laborer. ST. LOUIS—(Special.) One of the heaviest storms of the year, and of brief duration, swept over St. Louis at 3 o'clock Wednesday, being preceded by a wind that in the western portion of the city developed into a miniature twister which tore through the world's fair grounds, killing one man, probably fatally injuring another and seriously injuring seven others, besides causing damage to world's fair buildings and other property generally throughout the city to the extent of $10,000. The greatest fury of the storm was felt at the world's fair grounds, where the casualties occurred. The day had been extremely warm, the temperature registering 94 deg. Suddenly the sky began growing dark, and within a comparatively short time it became necessary to resort to artificial lights in the stores. Soon after, the storm broke with the force of a gale. In the city pedestrians hurried to shelter and the wind swept through the streets, causing little damage outside of broken windows here and there, the falling of a few street signs and leveling of shade trees. At the world's fair grounds the wind A Western railroad has just received two new express passenger engines. They are the largest and most powerful ever built. There is nothing in the world to-day to equal them. The cylinders are 22 inches in diameter by 28 inches stroke; the driving wheels are 80 inches in diameter, and the working steam pressure is 220 pounds to the square inch. The engine is carried on twelve wheels, a forward truck, six connected driving wheels and a trailer beneath the firebox. The total weight on the driving wheels is 141,700 pounds. On the front truck the weight is 36,300 pounds, and on the trailing wheels 41,500 pounds, swept from the southeast to the northwest in a miniature cyclone, revolving as it went. The agricultural building stood in its path and six laborers working on scaffolding were hurled to the ground. Nine sets of trusses and timbers were razed. Theodore Richter, a florist from Kirksville, a suburb, was on the ground running to shelter when a flying plank struck him, killing him instantly. The wind next struck the machinery building and one of the towers, 360 feet in height was stripped of scaffolding in a twinkling, and two workmen hurried onto the ground in the debris. Both escaped with severe bruises. Debris was blown against the staff covered sides of the completed electricity building and sections of the staff were torn away. The world's fair fire department turned out and hastily dug the injured men from the debris and hurried them to the hospital. A. R. Clark was so badly injured that it is believed he will die before morning. The Missouri state building, the only one of the six state buildings now in course of erection that is not protected by trees, is damaged to a small extent. On the administration building towers, situated forty feet apart, are two flags. As the twisting wind reached this building it lifted and passed between the towers One flag blew to the east and the other to the west, and yet neither was displaced or damaged. Along Skinker road, which passes through the world's fair grounds, twenty telegraph poles, heavily strung with wires, were snapped like pipestems, and fell across the street car track, for the time blocking traffic. time blooming Cotton Mills Closing Down. BOSTON.—(Special.) The cotton mills of the Coina, Webster and Pembroke Manufacturing companies at Suncook, N. H., will be shut down on Saturday next until August 24, on account of the high cost of cotton and the unsatisfactory condition of the market for print cloths. The Pittsfield, N. H., cotton mills will shut down the same day for several weeks. The Clinton mills of Narwich, Conn., have closed for a fortnight. ```markdown ``` The wind lasted about five minutes and was followed by a torrential rain accompanied by hall. Within twenty minutes the storm had spent itself and settled down to a fine summer rain, which continued until evening. The temperature dropped within ten minutes from 94 to 68 degrees. Along the river front the wind swept a number of lumber piles into the water and blew light freight from the wharf boats. Across the river, in East St. Louis, considerable damage was done and Mrs. Margaret Reichmann, aged 47, fearing a repetition of the 1896 tornado, dropped dead from fright. Three 160-foot smokestacks at the street car power house were blown down. At Belleville, twelve miles east, a funeral party was interring a body in the cemetery when the storm broke. Rev. Erich Becker, who was officiating, commanded all persons to lie down in the grass, and none was struck by the flying limbs of trees during the violent wind. At Madison several small houses were overturned, but no serious injuries to persons have been reported. WILL Not Be Promoted. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Colonel Lippincott, of the medical department, who was among those designated to be appointed a brigadier general and placed on the retired list, will not be promoted. Under the direction of the president those officers to be promoted must have a civil war service of one year and it was decided that Colonel Lippincott did not come within that provision. The matter was called to the attention of the war department and referred to the president, who gave directions to have Colonel Lippincott's name taken from the list. Postmaster Should Help. BOSTON—(Special.) "Every postmaster in the country should lend a helping hand to the president and to the postmaster general in their efforts to bring the postal service up to the standard of excellence and honesty which the people deserve and demand," said President Freeman B. Dickerson, of the National Association the total weight of engine being 219, 500 pounds, and the total weight of the engine and tender is about 374, 000 pounds. The tender, which has a capacity of 8,400 gallons of water and 9 tons of coal, is the largest yet built. The boiler is of the straight type and 70 inches in diameter, with 328 2½-inch tubes 20 feet in length. The firebox is 9 feet long by 6 feet wide, 6 feet deep at the front and 5 feet 4 inches deep at the back. There are 202 square feet of heating surface in the firebox, 3,848 square feet in the tubes and 28 square feet in the firebrick tubes, making a total of 4,078 square feet of heating surface. The grate area is 54 square feet. of Postmasters in his annual address before the postmasters' convention here. He urged postmasters not to be impatient at what might seem "too rigid economy." Command Army For One Week. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) The president has designated Lieutenant General Young to command the army from August 8, the date of the retirement of General Miles, until August 15, when the general staff law goes into effect and the office of the commanding general of the army is dispensed with. General Young thus becomes the last commanding general and the first chief of staff, although he will hold the positions only a short time. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

One of the mysteries connected with the Forbidden City of Pekin has come to light here with the strange appearance in the Boston Art museum of what is said to be the famous sacred jeweled tree belonging to the imperial family of China. For more than two centuries this treasure, made of native Chinese precious stones, standing three and one-half feet high and radiating a brilliant mass of colors, had been closely guarded day and night, few persons knowing of its existence or where it was kept. Its disappearance several years ago, before the Boxer outbreak, caused excitement among Chinese officials. The tree is said to have arrived at the museum through unknown channels and an effort has been made to restore it to the Chinese government. CHINESE REBELS TOOK A TOWN A Brief Expedition Was Routed and Its Supplies Contained VICTORIA, B. C.—(Special.) The high authorities and military officials of Kwangsi have been denounced to the Chinese government by the new vexoroy for sending false reports of the rebellion in that province, which is regarded now as very alarming.

The citizens were also practically without arms, and the governor, hearing of the danger, sent a large amount of war munitions to them to beat off the rebels, but the escort was defeated and the munitions captured by the rebels, who then assaulted and captured the city.

Latest Kansas News --- BROKE UP A SEANCE. William Elkimer Creates Excitement at Great Bond, Spiritual Meeting OTTAWA.—(Special.) William Elkmeier, a German who lives at Great Bend, created a sensation at the spiritualistic camp meeting at Forest park Monday night by making a dive for the cabinet out of which the spirits were supposed to be coming. Elkmeier is a spiritualist and he came here to attend the meeting of the Kaw Valley Association of Spiritualists. A seance was given by Mrs. Bartelle, a medium from Colorado Springs, assisted by Mrs. Bledso, a medium from Topeka. Spirits were materialized while the medium was supposed to be in a trance in the rear of the cabinet. Elkmeier sat up in front and he thought he detected fraud. When one "spirit" was in the act of retiring Elkmeier made a sudden dive for the curtain and declares he caught the medium by the ankle. The room was immediately in an uproar. Elkmeier claims that he was set upon by both the mediums and that Mrs. Bledso's husband struck him. His clothes were badly torn and he was considerably bruised. Elkmeier was hustled of the grounds and told to go home. The spiritualists claim that he grabbed Mrs. Bledso, who was outside the cabinet holding the hands of subjects, and that he did not expose Mrs. Bartell in the act of impersonating a spirit. They say that Elkmeier is crazy. Elkmeier says he has exposed a rank fraud. BIG CROP IN WESTERN COUNTIES The "Million Bushel Class" Promises to Be Large in Kansas. TOPEKA.—(Special.) It is believed that the forthcoming report of the secretary of the state board of agriculture will show that many western counties have broken into the million bushel class of the wheat crop this year for the first time. Captain J. H. Churchill of Dodge City, president of the state board of agriculture, is a very conservative man, and he also has a wide knowledge of conditions. He writes to the secretary of the state board of agriculture as follows: "Fort county wheat is threshing out from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre, with a test ranging from 60 to 63 pounds. My wheat ran 32 bushels to the acre, with a test of 62." The board will call for another crop report from its multitude of correspondents over the state August 8, which probably will show the approximate average yield in each county, although it will not give the definite figures which a later report will show when the bushels are all threshed and counted. The inquiries sent out for the report of August 8 call for an estimate of the average yield per acre in the county in which the correspondent is and the condition of the corn crop, with special reference to the different plantings.
