Rev. M. Phillips and his members attended the Primitive Baptist church association at Fort Scotte Kansas last week. Dr C. H. C Jordan,s south American English Slang in France Never have the French made use of so many English words as during the past season. The world of "sport" began the practice some years ago, and it had this excuse, that it drew its horses, its "trainers" and its "jockeys" from the other side of the channel. But nowadays French society indulges in a positive debauch of exotic terms. One goes no longer "sur le champ des courses," but "on the turf." The horses go round the "ring." The "donneurs de Paris" are "bookmakers." The "gross pontes," "plungers." A "thoroughbred" (pur sang) is no longer "bolteux," but "broken down."—Paris letter. Some Useful Recipes. Among members of the Greek church in Macedonia the following recipes are regarded as highly useful: To pacify one's enemies write the psalm "Known in Judea," dissolve it in water, and give your enemy to drink thereof, and he will be pacified. For a startled and frightened man take three dry chestnuts and sow-thistle and three glasses of old wine and let him drink thereof early and late; write also "In the beginning was the Word," and let him carry it.

Read the following case: Veteran Joshua Heller, of 706 South Walnut street, Urbana, Ill., says: "In the fall of 1899 after getting Doan's Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros.' drug store in Champaign and taking a course of treatment I told the readers of the paper that they had relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed of a lame back with pain across my joints and beneath the shoulder blades. During the interval which had elapsed I have had occasion to resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when I noticed warnings of attack. On each and every occasion the results obtained were just as satisfactory as when the pills were first brought to my notice. I just as emphatically endorse the preparation today as I did over two years ago."

The story of great discoveries or inventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food that was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a mere fat makör), was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve cells is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is usually seen in a marked sturdiness and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. The food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavor is charming and being and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wilville." WANTPINELAND CHOCTAW INDIANS PLAY DIRECTLY INTO HANDS OF GRAFTERS. Even Chief McCurtain Now Favors Opening to Allotment—Chairman Bixby and Other Commissioners Had Been Trying to Protect This Land for the Indians. MUSKOGEE, I. T.—(Special.) A commission representing the Choctaw nation came to Muskogee Thursday to confer with the Dawes commission regarding the pine timber lands of that country. The Indians want the lands opened for allotment and presented their wishes to the commission. No definite answer was given them. Ever since the work of allotting lands in the Indian Territory began this pine timber land has been sought by innumerable companies and individuals. Companies with all kinds of money and with men in high positions interested, have figured every conceivable scheme for getting possession of the timber. It is regarded as one of the best grafts in the territory and how to get a cinch on it has puzzled some of the brightest men who have looked for "good things." The commission early recognized that unless some drastic measure was adopted to protect this timber the Indians would realize little from it. It was decided to withdraw from allotment all the pine lands that had been classified as commercially valuable for lumber, which was approved by Secretary Hitchcock and concurred in by Chief McCurtain on behalf of the Choctaw citizens. Now, for some reason not satisfactorily explained, the Choctaws are asking for the commission to rescind its rule and permit the land to be allotted and it is stated that even Chief McCurtain is favorable to such a course. "If those pine lands were opened to allotment," said Colonel Needles, of the commission, "there would be a thousand people at the land office to file the first day the lands were available. It would delight the grafters more than any other one thing the commission could do." Chairman Tams Bixby was present and fully concurred in Colonel Needles' statement. "If these lands were opened to allottment," said he, "Mississippi Choctaws and the most ignorant class of Indians would be herded together by unscrupulous men and agents of the big companies, and as soon as a filing would be secured the land would be in their hands. In a little while the companies would convert the timber into lumber and about all the Indian would have would be a piece of sand, rough land, with the stumps as evidence of what he had once possessed." It is the policy of the commission to hold the pine lands valuable for lumber until the allotments are made and then sell them either at public auction or by sealed bids, the proceeds to be added to the funds of the Choctaw nation and divided among the citizens. It is believed that any other plan would result in the Indians being robbed of one of their most valuable assets. The pine timber available for being converted into lumber has been estimated at 1,200,000 feet, making a prize sufficiently alluring to attract many of the big lumber men both from the North and the South, to say nothing of innumerable parasites who belong strictly in the grafter class.

The jail will cost $35,000, and is designed to accommodate 250 prisoners. LONDON.—(Special.) Special correspondents continue to send in alarmist reports of the Russo-Japanese situation. The correspondent at Che Foo of the morning Post has gone to Welf-Hai-Wel, whence he cables: "I am informed in trustworthy quarters that Japan has landed troops at Pingyan, at the outlet of Korea bay. It is currently reported that the conference of the Russian and Japanese authorities has been futile." The correspondent at Hakodate, Japan, of the Daily Mail announces unusual military activity there, saying 100,000 men have been concentrated at Hakodate, in readiness for embarkation in event of hostilities. The correspondent adds that torpedoes are being laid in the ports of Western Japan. Other of the Daily Mail's correspondents report the recall by Japan of her military commission which has been examining the Swiss hospital system, and the uneasiness of Russian authorities as to the ability of Port Arthur to resist attack from its land approaches. He Corked the Artery. KANSAS CITY.—(Special.) Robert Graham, of Independence, saved his life by corking up an artery. The cork stopped the flow of blood until the arrival of Dr. Sheley, then the cork was drawn and the blood which spouted out of the wound was stopped. Graham was 60 years of age and was chopping wood. A stick flew up and broke an artery in his leg. His shoe filled with blood and he was fast bleeding to death. He knew that he could not survive long with such a flow of blood and the idea of corking up the wound suggested itself. He tried it. it was successful, and will be out again in a week or two. E. P.

SUSTAINS THE TRIAL CDURT VERDIGT It Held Dependence on Faith to Be Criminal Negligence—Court of Appeals Does Not Discuss the Merits of Different Religious Faiths, but Confines Itself to the Law. ALBANY, N. Y.—(Special.) Especial interest attaches to the decision handed down by the court of appeals in the case of the people against Pierson, declaring dependence upon faith healing in the case of sickness to be criminal negligence. Pierson lives at White Plains and early in 1901 was sentenced to $500 or 500 days imprisonment for criminal neglect in failing to provide a licensed physician to attend his 16-months-old adopted daughter in a case of bronchial pneumonia, which afterward proved fatal. The conviction was obtained under the penal code, which holds that "a person who omits without lawful excuse, to perform a duty by law imposed upon him, to furnish food, clothing, shelter or medical attendance to a minor is guilty," etc. In its opinion written by Judge Halight, the court of appeals says: "It would seem that the legislative intent is reasonably clear, although possibly more precise language could have been employed. The section of the code under which the indictment was found contemplates that there are persons upon whom the law casts a duty of caring for minors. "We are aware that there are people who believe that the divine power may be invoked to heal the sick and faith is all that is required. There are others who believe that the Creator has supplied the earth, nature's storehouse, with everything that man may want for his support and maintenance, including the restoration and preservation of his health, and that he is left to work out his own salvation under fixed natural laws. "There are still others who believe Christianity and science go hand in IS THE WATE WALL S BROOKS RAIL- WAYS hand, both proceeding from the Creator; that science is but the agent of the Almighty through which He accomplishes results and that both science and divine power may be invoked together to restore diseased and suffering humanity. "But, sitting as a court of law for the purpose of construing and determining the meaning of statutes, we have nothing to do with variances in religious belief, and have no power to determine which is correct. "We place no limitations upon the power of the mind over the body, the power of faith to dispel diseases, or the power of the Supreme Being to heal the sick. We merely declare the law as given us by the legislature. We find no error on the part of the trial court." MOB WRECKS Newspaper Office. JAMESTOWN, N. D.—(Special.)

PROPERTY IN NORWEST Mitchell, South Dakota, Sept. 30. The South Dakota idea this year is to emphasize the riches of this state. When it is confidently stated that this state has the greatest potential to develop South Dakota will lead all other states in the greatest per capita wealth, it can readily be understood why South Dakota is ambitious to advertise its crops and resources. The report of a fortnight ago regarding the heavy fall of snow and damage done to the crops by frost, now appears to have been a false alarm. This is the judgment of a party of newspaper men and representatives of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry, who have made a trip of more than 1,200 miles through the state during the last ten days. The greatest estimate of damage that is now made by those in a position to know is, three per cent damage to corn crop of the state. In the rich agricultural seclusion, the valley of Missouri River crops appear splendid advantage. Occasionally one finds fields where there has been perhaps too much water and the crops are somewhat late, but this is the exception. The following is a conservative estimate of the products of the state and their value for 1903: Total ..... $146,450,006 While corn is the second product in total value, the 1903 crop shows an increase of about thirteen and a half million bushels over the crop of 1902. At the rate corn is being increased in acreage, the prediction that corn will be king in South Dakota within a few years, seems to be reasonable. The total production of new wealth for 1902 was $119,949,000. The increase of nearly $27,000,000 of this year is sufficient answer to the derogatory reports about the state that have apportioned the last four argument. Perhaps a stronger argument in favor of the state is shown in an examination of the bank deposits. In July, 1901, South Dakota banks had deposits amounting to $14,000,000.00; on July 1, 1902, these amounted to $30,000,000.00, and on July 1, 1903, to $22,000,000.00. In addition to the money in corn, wheat and the gold of the Black Hills, which has been termed the richest one hundred square miles in the world, there is good money in South Dakota cattle. Men who have come to South Dakota without money, and who now count their dollars with five figures, say that raising cattle is the only business in the world for which a man can borrow his entire capital. It is a fact that South Dakota banks are glad to help any honest, industrious young man, who comes well recommended for his commercial integrity, in cattle business and accept his cattle as collateral. Banks of Ipswich and elsewhere that taking twenty years of such loans he had not lost one cent and he could name by the score young men who had secured from South Dakota banks the price of their first herd of cattle. A visit to the cattle ranch of Lee & Prentis near Vermillion, S. D., was one of the interesting features of the above mentioned trip. Lee & Prentis are the largest cattle breeders in south Dakota. They exhibit with some pride, among their valuable shorthorns, a two-year-old heifer which recently took sweepstakes over the winner of the sweepstakes at 1902 International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago. Other shorthorns have just returned from a very victorious tour among the very hardiest stock at Fair City, eight at Yankton and six at Huron. There are other stock farms in the state that show blooded cattle not far behind these prize winners. A large number of the farmers and stockmen, as well as a majority of the South Dakota editors have been in attendance at the Corn Palace at Mitchell during the last week. The South Dakota Commission to the St. Louis Exposition has just decided to reproduce the Mitchell Composition Palace as the exhibit, and is distributing St. Louis will have an opportunity to see a building 140 by 100 feet, the exterior of which will be entirely constructed of corn. Like other South Dakota towns, Mitchell is showing considerable prosperity and enterprise this year. The cornerstone of the $40,000 city hall was laid last week; the walls of a $50,000 hotel to be built of stone and steel are up above the first floor; a Carnegie library has been built at a cost of $15,000, and a score of smaller buildings are under construction, and improvements and pavement of streets are under way. As an especial reason for such a fine showing at this time, the last legislature of South Dakota agreed to submit to voters of the state in November, 1904, the question of moving the state capitol from Pierre to Mitchell. The people of the latter town, backed by a goodly number of those in the most thickly populated portions of the state east of the Missouri River, and in the Black Hills, who will find Mitchell more accessible than Pierre, have already under way a lively campaign by which they expect to secure the capital in November, 1904. The reproduction of the Mitchell Corn Palace at the St. Louis Exposition is regarded as a big card in their favor The returned traveler tries to put on tugs by speaking of his "tuggage." THE K.

On a Limited Train to California. Luxurious service between the East and California has come to stay. Each year the equipment on the leading trans-continental lines is a little better than the year before. The traveling public demand the best and are willing to pay for it. The Santa Fe announces that daily service of its California Limited train for season of 1903-1904 will be resumed November 29; until then it is semi-weekly. The California Limited runs between Chicago on the East, and Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco on the west—a straight-away flight of more than two thousand miles. The time to Los Angeles is less than three days from Chicago. The route is through New Mexico and Arizona, south of the region of heavy snows, and traversing a land of enchantment, where the traveler sees Indian pueblos, canyons a mile deep and peaks two miles high. The train itself comprises compartment, observation and drawing room Pullmans, dining car and buffet-smoker. Equipment as fine as money can buy, and service absolutely highest class. Perhaps the meals, under management of Mr. Harvey, are the most notable feature of the California Limited. They have a national reputation and are faultless. The fact that this is the eighth season for the Limited ought to mean something to travelers who seek the best way to reach California. Tuberculosis in Fish. That fishes and frogs may have tuberculosis has been demonstrated in the Pasteur institute in Paris. This is no cause for alarm, however, for they are found only in the intestinal organs, would be killed in cooking anyway, and bacillus reared in a cold-blooded animal could not thrive if transferred to man.

He told her she should have remained on the "Flyer" and changed cars at Kansas City. "Why, isn't this Kansas City?" the young lady innocently replied. "The brakeman came through the train calling K. C." The young lady had mistaken "La Cygne" for K. C." She was given a pass to Kansas City and left on the afternoon train. Medicine Lodge makes the boast that it is the only town anywhere along the kerosene circuit where the opera house stairs are kept clean. 2 The "Ben Hur" company stopped in Abilene several hours on its way to Denver, and an enterprising man, a local paper says, entertained a few of his friends at a "box party," on top of a box car. Coffey county's courthouse will soon be defended by a Spanish cannon placed in the front yard, although there is nothing in the recent achievements of Spanish cannon to warrant any sense of increased security. Atchison is able to "claim" B. F. Winchell, the new third vice president of the Rock Island system at $40,000 a year. Back in 1875 he was the chief clerk in the Missouri Pacific's passenger department there. General J. W. F. Hughes of Topeka, the fearless and resplendent leader of the Kansas National guard, feels that he has not lived his forty-some years in vain. He will command a brigade at the army maneuvers at Fort Riley. A couple of years ago "Billy" Morgan built a new home in Hutchinson. He provided the funds and let Mrs. Morgan arrange the plans and details to suit herself. Deacon House tells this story: "Three months or so after they had moved into the new house Bill' went rushing into the living room one evening. 'My dear,' he said to his wife, 'I wish you'd come out and show me where the back stairs are; I want to take some things up that way.' The location of the back stairs having been pointed out to him, things moved along smoothly for three or four months longer. Then, one day, he went home to dinner, apparently much perturbed. 'Say,' he said to Mrs. Morgan as they sat down, 'have we a cellar under our house? Mrs. Smith asked me to-day and I had to tell her that I didn't know.' 2 The Clay Center young man who made a run of 202 consecutive billiards must be eligible to start out as a professional nurse. Six Kansas counties—Greeley, Morton, Stevens, Stanton, Haskell and Grant—are without banks. But the inhabitants of those counties have cattle on a thousand hills, which suits them just as well, and is fully as secure. A flour mill in Manhattan sent several carloads of flour to Minneapolis, Minn., last week, right while its press agent was watching. Assurance is given, although somewhat needlessly, that the Salina woman who lost a chateleaine containing upwards of $100 is "prominent." George A. Clark takes a hopeful view of Chancellor Strong's school of journalism. He thinks the young men will probably not learn anything that can't be drilled out of them in a few weeks by a practical editor. White Cloud takes considerable pride in the possession of a young man whose name is also Kermit. A stenographer in Salina received the dictation for a letter to a firm in Battle Crek, Mich., and the letter was typewritten all right except that it was addressed to "Battle Ax." A private dispatch from the cinder beetle experiment station says the prairie fire which devastated portions of Ford and Clark Counties Sunday was caused by a couple of molten cinder beetles which Prof. Clinker had set into the open air to cool. ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDORSES PE-RU-NA ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. The girl with freckles may have perfect eyes and yet she wears specks. The man who travels the road to ruin generally takes a through train. A Fortune in Ginseng Growing.

While women are not allowed to plead as lawyers in German courts, not a few are otherwise employed as exports in various branches of the profession. In Berlin one woman serves as an interpreter of the language of deaf-mutes and several as translators of foreign documents; one makes a specialty of rendering English legal phrases into German.

The Boy's View A small boy was summoned one day to see a balloon ascend, and stood gazing upward with great interest as the great ball grew smaller and smaller in the heavens. Then he clutched his mother excitedly by the arm and asked, "Does God expect these gentlemen to-day?"—New York Daily Tribune. After Macedonia and Bulgaria have been completely depopulated by the Turkish reforms how would it do to establish a few Boer colonies there? No doubt the Turks would acquire from them some very valuable information as to the inadvisability of starting anything that might end in staggering humanity. Natural Supposition. A friend of Edward MacDowell attended a recital given by a mediocre teacher's pupils and when he met the American composer he remarked: "I heard one of the pupils, a little girl of 8, play your 'To a Wild Rose.'" The composer sighed defectedly. "I suppose," MacDowell remarked, "that she pulled it up by the roots." used every washday will make your clothes white as snow and as beautiful as when new.

Still Another Case. Franksville, Wis., Oct. 12th.—Many remarkable cures are being reported from all over the country but there is one right here in Franksville which is certainly worth publishing, and which has not as yet been given to the public. Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been a sick woman for quite a long time and could not find anything to her her any help. She suffered all the painful symptoms of what is generally known as female weakness. Every woman who reads her story will understand these distressing conditions which combine to make the lives of many women one long burden of weakness and suffering. Mrs. Markison chanced one day to hear of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, that was said to be a splendid medicine for women's weakness. She determined to try some and soon found herself getting better. She kept on with the pills and was cured. Speaking of her case, Mrs. Markison says:-- "I can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills as a remedy for female weakness. They are the best medicine I have ever known, and have done me a great deal of good." The fact that talk is cheap is the reason women indulge in it to such an extent. The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M'fg Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh. 9 Issues Free.
