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 "boiteux," 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.

Mr. Le Gallienne writes of Nature as a lover, but his poetic fancy does not disguise from us that he was bred in cities. In his chapter on what Nature brings to beautify the graves of the little dead, he writes : "The wrenn will sometimes bring her sky-blue eggs for a gift." Perhaps a wren may be permitted to do this sort of thing in a "tragic fairy tale;" in every-day life she would have to purchase them from a commercially minded hedge-sparrow, for her own eggs are a pearly white, with reddish brown spots. In any memorial concerning Mr. Dick it is impossible to keep out some mention of Mr. Richard Le Gallienne's hair. Two literary friends of his were recently speaking of the disproportionate amount of adverse criticism he occasionally received. One said: "His work is often excellent; he is 'slated' because of the length of his hair. And yet that helped him at first." "Ah," said the other, "it began as a boom and ended as a boommer."

KEEP THE BOWELS REGULAR The cause of two-thirds of the serious ills of life and one-half of all who die prematurely can be traced to persistent constipation. The bowels are one of the great outlets of the body and should perform their functions with the utmost regularity—not by physic requiring large and frequent doses to whip them into action and eventually depriving them of natural strength—but by made from the whole grain of the wheat, which, if eaten once a day, will keep the bowels regular. A food—not a medicine. Served hot or cold. ORTHY of a higher recommendation than I can find words to express." W This is what Mr. J. H. Plangman of Sherman, M.D., of Doan's Kidney Pills. tells his experience in the following words: He says, "Sometimes in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass off. But instead of getting better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and down my left leg as far as the knee." This is precisely what kidney trouble will do with the body. It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick kidneys. So Mr. Plang- as far as the knee: This is precisely what kidney trouble will do with the body. It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick kidneys. So Mr. Plangman's experience bore this out. Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that it was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. "I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination." Then he relates how the doctor told him that it was a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars.

Naturally, he thought that he would soon be rid of the trouble, but in spite of the doctoring he goes on to add, "I was in such misery that it was almost impossible for me to do my work." "It was at this juncture that Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice and I procured some from the drug store of C. E. Craycroft.

COLON, COLOMBIA. — (Special.) ‘The royal mail steamer Orinoco, with twenty-eight officers, 435 men and thirty women, has sailed. The United States auxiliary cruiser Dixie has just arrived. . Atter a conference, Colonel Torres, commander of the Colombian troops here, seeing that the situation was hopeless, agreed to embark his sol- diers on the Orinoco, sailing for Car- tagena at 6 p. m. A special train from Panama brought General Tovar, who also sailed on the Orinoco. ‘The people of Colon are now jubtl- ant. The flag of the new republic flies from the railway stations at Gatun and Bohio Solodado, near Colon. ‘Troops from Panama will doubtless take charge of the city soon. The municipal council of Colon has Just notified the provisional govern- ment at Panama of its adherence to the new republic. PANAMA, COLOMBIA.—General To- var and his staff have at last been convinced of the uselessness of tacir resistance to the provincial govern- ment, and have accepted the terms of- fered by the junta. They will embark at once for Colon on an express train and will leave immediately on the royal mail steamer Orinoco for Car- tegena. The arrangement to this ed ‘was made through the efforts of Com- mander Hubbard, of the United States gunboat Nashville, Superintendent Shaler and Assistant Superintendent Prescott of the Panama railroad who guarantee that both parties will fulfill the agreement. There is great rejoic- ing all over the city because the sta- bility of the republic now seems as- sured. The fact that troops were al- ready moving toward the line prob- ably decided General Tovar and his staff to accept the terms of the junta. ‘The government of the new repub- He of Paname is constantly receiving congratulations from Paris, London, the republics of Central America and from nearly all other parts of the world. ‘The government of the republic of Panama is making sil-possible efforts to prevent bloodshed, but the corre- spondent of the Associated Press un- derstands that an ultimatum has been sent to Colonel Torres, commander of the government forces at Colon, an- nouncing that it is the intention of the government of the republic of Panama, should Colonel Torres refuse to consider the generous proposals made to him to permit the embarka- tion of his troops on board a steamer and their transportation back to Sa- vanilla, to send #n army to attack Colon. ‘the telegraph lines communicating with the interior of the isthmus of Panama are kept busy transmitting notices from the inhabitants of out- lying places of their adhesion to the recently declared republic of Pangma. General H. 0. Jeffries, a graduate of ‘West Point, has been appointed com- mander of the Pacific flotilla by the Provisional government. Carlos Con- stantino Arosemena has been made as- sistant secretary of foreign relations. As soon as the Colombian troops leave Colon, the troops of the new re- public will be sent there. The pro- visional government has already or- ganized the military to be commanded by Generai Domingo Diaz.

The writ is made re turnable December 1. The application for the writ is looked upon as a be- ginning of the crusade which the so- called farmers’ trust is expected to wage to get competing elevator facili ties in the state, Buccess Without Monev. The brisk attack on snobbery that was a leading feature of the October “Everybody's” has been followed up in the November issue by a signifi cant article on “Successful Men who are not Rich.” Success without mon- ey seems anomalous to the modern American; yet, on reflection, the most eager devotee of plutocracy cannot deny that such men as Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, President Eliot of Harvard, Dr. Rainsford and General Joe Wheeler are, in the pest sense of the term, successful. Ande the private income of the most success- ful man in the United States to-day —Theodore Roosevelt—is said to be well under $7,500 yearly.

The victim fell unconscious and died in half an hour, without uttering a word. | ‘The murderer then walked down a path and caught a glimpse of Freder- ick, who was looking out of the attic window.

His wife, who had gone to the attic with him, attempted to drag the body into the room. She succeeded in this, but not before Benjamin had fired several shots at her without effect. The double murderer's attention was then attracted to his sister, Mary, who had come out of the house to persuade him from doing say more shooting. She persisted so strongly that he turned the rifle upon her and fired twice, but his aim was bad. The young woman escaped into the house. Having realized what e had done, and fearing arrest, Benjamin decided to barricade himself in the barn. He went into the house, secured a shot- gun, several revolvers and ammuni- tion, and then took up his position in the barn. The women of the house notified neighbors, who, in turn, sum- moned police assistance from tais city. Every attempt the authorities made to approach the barn was met with several shots from Welssinger, and re- inforcements were sent for. Toward evening, iter a parley with the mur- derer, he permitted David Wertz and Samuel Lovett, farm hands, to enter ‘the barn and feed the horses and cat- ‘tle. Weissinger, in the meantime, kept the men covered with his fire- arms. ‘When Sheriff Smith appeared on the scene, @ ruse was planned to capture the man. Another parley was held with the murderer, and he agreed to let the two farm hands bring him his supper. The men were instructed to wateh their opportunity, seize him by the arms and shout, whica would be the signal for the deputies to rush in. This they did, and a terrible struggle took place. The murderer is a power- ful man, but the force of numbers was too much for him, and he was tied hand and foot before he could use his ewapons. He was brought to tais city, and will have @ hearing after the tu- neral of his brothers. Welssinger is believed to be insane. His mind is said to have been failing for some time. He had nothing to say regarding the tragedy, except that he exclaimed: “I am bewitched.” Blame It on Sun Spots, PARIS.—(Special.)

James Calder, @ lumberman trom Rigolet, Labrador, the last white man to see Leonidas Hubbard, Jr., of New York, assistant editor of Outing, and head of the Labrador exploring expedition, ar- rived Monday. Calder expressed grave doubts as to the safety of the Hub- bard party, which was attempting what he considers an impossible trip. Calder tried to persuade Hubbard from venturing inland, but he per- sisted and, as already told in these dispatches, he gave away nearly all his food before starting, on the plea that he could not advance fast enough ig burdened with stores. His inten- tion was to proceed north toward Un- gava bay, but if he found this impos- sible his alternative was to travel to the southwest, hoping to break out in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It was the purpose of Mr. Hubbard to subsist on what he killed with the rifle, but Cal- der, who previously had traveled 150 miles inland through the forest, ad- vised his taking a shotgun, which would enable him to kill small game. Calder believes that the only chance for Mr. Hubbard and his two com- panions is that a party of Nauscopee Indians, following the same route six weeks later, on a trapping expedition, may come up with him.
