Arvia, Liberia, Africa, June 10.—our troops 1,500 miles from home no telegraphic communication away from our base of supplies we led Chief Segee's country to de the government's ultimatum to whereupon he became enraged news reached him that we had crossed the borders without notifying him. This was on April 2. By the th, after Chief Segee heard the news and had gotten together aid from 50 or more tribes which were ready for us when we entered New Cess, he lost no tide falling upon us when we encamped near his market place. S on after Col. T. M. Moore came back from Monrovia as superintendent of Bassa county he called the chiefs of the natives in the vicinity to ascertain their loyalty to the government. Having been satisfied with this he then called for volunteers to prosecute the war against Segee as directed by the government. He had collected about 175 soldiers in the City of Buchanan; and while those soldiers were quartered in the city, cows, hogs, goats and sheep were slain every night at will. All night long could be heard the reports of peacocks or other guns to the great annoyance and damage of the people. On the 8th of April the soldiers marched for New Cess under the command of Major J. B. Horace. They reached Segee's town in due course. Two flags were sent Segee, so the story goes, requesting him to say which he would choose, the white or the red flag. Segee, being old and diplomatic, did not answer at first, but finally he kept the red and returned the white flag to Major Horace, saying that he did not want to fight the government. It appears that Horace was led to believe that Segee had a pitiful collection of about 60 men, and he thought he had to return and see the superintendent. So Major Horace and Captain Warer returned to Buchanan, where a superintendent's council was held and Major Horace caused to return to New Cess and pitch battle, destroy the towns as he was before commanded to do. On the 13th inst. Major Horace pitched battle against Segee, as a result of which the government lost four soldiers by death, and nine were wounded. Frank Payne and a lad named Talmon were killed in battle, Eddie Bull got lost from the company because they got up before day and moved off, leaving Bull asleep, and upon awaking he tried to follow, but took the wrong direction and walked into the enemy's town, where he was put to death. One Pedrow was killed by one of his own men accidentally. Wesley Morris, one of the nine rounded, died on the night of the 28th. The other wounded seem to be doing at this writing. He seems to be no particular one of when the war will close, soldiers are sick and have Sorce deserted, but upon all deserters were into ser ment. It is said that 200 men have been sent from the McCray section to assist Segee, 300 from Gladoh, and that a general native combination is on. It will not do to underestimate the strength of the natives. Some seem to think that the combination extends from River Cess to McCray's section. HYDE PARK CENTER. 5643 Lake avenue. The Center is operated by the Hyde Park Juvenile Protective League, an incorporated organization, which seeks to promote the physical and moral welfare of all the boys and girls of the community. The League has appointed a Committee of Management to whom is delegated the task of supervising the Center. This committee holds regular weekly meetings for the consideration of all matters affecting the Center, and reports its actions in full to the regular monthly meetings of the League. Its function in Hyde Park as a social factor has done much to alleviate the distressing conditions which prevail there against the colored people. The activities receive children from all nationalities. Officers of the League—Francis W. Parker, President; Mrs. David A. Robertson, Secretary; Mrs. Anna W. Thompson, Corresponding Secretary; D. A. Peirce, Treasurer; C. A. Marsh, Chairman Finance Committee. Officers of the Center—Allan Hoben, Chairman Management Committee; Miss Sarah B. Tunnicliff, Secretary. Employed officers—D. B. Stewart, Director of Boys' Work; Miss Zelma Davidson, Director Girls' Work; Miss Frances Sterl, Kindergartener. The work of transforming the Illinois Central station at 5643 Lake avenue into a Social Center is now about complete. The entire building has been renovated and furnished, and the pavilions at either end have been equipped for playgrounds. Flower boxes have been placed on the window ledges and along the iron fence. Under the care of the children the plants and vines are beginning to flourish. Gifts of furniture, pictures, a piano and rugs have converted the rooms into cheerful and attractive gathering places for class and social purposes. The Municipal Playgrounds Association has given gymnastic apparatus; the University of Chicago has provided manual training benches and tools, and the women of the Hyde Park Presbyterian Church have installed a complete equipment for domestic science. Six cooking classes are in operation with a weekly attendance of over fifty. A kindergarten has been opened under the direction of Miss F. Joes Stort, assisted by Miss Marian Conable. This is proving a success and will be continued throughout the summer if sufficient funds are contributed. The small children are also greatly enjoying the sand pile and the swings in the outdoor playground. A branch of the Public Library will be opened at the Center, a librarian coming once a week to receive and distribute books. Four hundred volumes have been contributed as a nucleus of a permanent library. These and the current magazines are provided for the use of the public in the reading room, which is open daily. The Glee Club is proving a great success. The directors of the girls' and boys' activities are planning numerous outings and picnics for the summer season. The Committee on Management wishes to take this opportunity to thank the teachers in the various departments who have given so much time and interest to developing the activities of the Center, and all contributing friends who have made the Center a successful reality. Visitors are welcome at all times when the Center is open. The most favorable time to see the children at play is on week days from 3:30 to 6 o'clock. The most recent weekly record shows an attendance of 314 different children, with $34 uses of the Center. J. L. PARKS Horse Back Across Country. French Lick Springs, June 10.—Mr. J. L. Parks, who arrived here a week or so ago, made a record ride across the county, which is forty miles, in three and a half hours. He was not in the least fatigued by the feat. The town is talking about his wonderful ability. Every man claims to read both sides, but no man does. Fortune Found in Old Trunk. James Caraher, aged 60 years, fell downstairs at his boarding house in St. Louis. He died almost immediately. An investigation of his personal effects disclosed a snug little fortune in an old trunk in his room. Wrapped in one bundle was $5,300 in bills in another, $590 in gold, and in still another, click bonds for $1,000. Caraher had no relatives, so far as is known.

Negroes Should Sue Every Time They Are Refused in Theaters—They Are Responsible for All That Is Heaped on Them by Keeping Their Mouths Closed—Buy Your Seat Anywhere in Chicago Theaters and Sit There. BY FRANK S. HEFFRON. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. Mr. Frank D. Donaldson, one of our own economical, he asked the ticket seller for seats in the balcony, but was told that all the seats in that part of the house were sold, but he could have two on the main floor. He therefore purchased them. The evening came, he and his friend appeared and presented the tickets to an usher, who looked at the tickets, then at Mr. Donaldson, and, being sure they were colored, whispered to another usher: "These are niggers; how did they get these tickets?" Mr. Donaldson, wishing to be seated, asked what was the trouble. He was informed that the tickets were not for that night, but in exchange, they would seat him in the balcony. This Mr. Donaldson objected to not asked for the return of his ticket, stating he would use them on the right for which they were intended, but the usher told him he would do nothing of the sort, and the best thing he could do would be to get out, which Mr. Donaldson did, with the intention of suing the company. He secured the best attorney in Illinois, in the person of the Hon. Edward Morris. The case was tried on Thursday, May 9. The Colonial attorney tried to show that on the evening of the event Mr. Donaldson was under the influence of liquor, and therefore was not entitled to a seat. He had only one witness on the stand, who made a very poor showing, stating he had forgotten the incident. The attorney tried to bellittle Mr. Morris, using a lot of rhetoric but a small amount of facts. He stated that Mr. Morris did not comprehend the civil rights law, but Mr. Morris contradicted his statement by stating that he himself (Mr. Morris) helped France the civil rights law in Illinois. Mr. Morris produced facts and wound up his address to the jury by asking them not to consider the case from a prejudiced standpoint, but as a case of a citizen of the State being refused his rights as a citizen. Mr. Morris' address was extremely great. He produced facts, showed where the civil rights law had been violated, and asked that the case be decided on its merits, and not from a racial standpoint. It was a distinct victory for the Negroes of Chicago. We pay the same price as the white man, but are not allowed to enjoy the same privileges. One juror, on being questioned as to his fitness for this case, stated that Negroes should go to the Pekin, and not to the downtown theaters. Now, I only wanted to ask him why? Is it because he thinks we should not enjoy such privileges, or are we inferior to the white man? This man is from Michigan, and it only goes to show how the prejudice is growing. Unless the Negro learns to fight for his rights, sooner or later he won't be allowed to even walk in the same streets as the white man. The jury decided Mr. Donaldson was entitled to damages' amounting to one hundred dollars, and in doing so they have added one more victory to the right side of the ledger for the Negro. The Negro must learn to contend for his rights. If you can't get them peacefully, go to the courts and fight for them. This case only goes to show you there are a few Teen Caucasian people in America. Let more of us stand up, as Mr. Donaldson did, for our rights and the color line will soon be wiped out. MR. ANDERSON WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. Mr. R. S. Abbott, LL. B., Founder and Editor of the Defender: Dear Sir—Being a subscriber for this paper I feel that I have a right to ask you a question concerning the article in the last issue of your paper with reference to "White Men and Brown Men." It is said that "White," in the modern, scientific sense, means not white by mere color, but white by race. The article also said that such a definition would open the door not only to the Parses, but to the Afghans, to the Hindus, to the Arabs, and even to the Berbars. Now then, what I would like for you to tell me in your next issue is this: My grandfather was born in French Guiana, S.A., of French parents. My grandmother was born in Costa Rica, C.A., of Spanish parents. My father and mother were born in Jamaica. N. A. where I also was born. Now will you please tell me what am I? This will oblige yours truly. In answer to the above, the Defender would state that according to the America idea of things, if one's parents were born in Ireland and had Negro blood to a greater or lesser degree, he would be a Negro. But Mr. Anderson has not stated whether his mother or father or both were descendants from Africans or not. At the most you could only be a Jamaican, a subject of Great Britain; but your race would depend strictly on the ratio of natural blood. Just as the Jew, no matter under what flag. In other civilized countries it does not matter since you are a subject and fight for their flag, you are of that nation, save the Jew in Russia and the Negro in America. If one has enough white blood, no matter what race it is up to that individual to say what he would be. There are over 10,000 Negroes in Chicago passing as white, and the white race is accepting them; but if you are of a dark hue, then the burden of proof is on you to show the American why you claim the SACRED color of the white man. THE NEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, Mr. Rollo H. McBride, who conducts a successful mission known as "The Parting of the Ways" in this city, will speak for the Negro Fellowship League at its reading room, 2830 State street. His subject will be "The Under Man." Mr. McBride makes it his business to look out for men who have been unfortunate and makes it his life work to have a place for them to stay and food for them to eat until they can get on their feet again. All are invited to come and hear him, especially men. Perhaps the reader does not know that the Negro Fellowship League has one of the finest reading rooms in the city, especially for men and boys at 2830 State street. Here they find the leading magazines and newspapers and the best books. also tables at which they can write letters. Every young man in the neighborhood or in the city who desires to do so is welcome. General Secretary Curtright is always glad to see young men, and the room is open from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. at night. Be sure and attend the meeting Sunday. Dr. Washington and son, Davidson, and Editor Abbott strolled along the stroll on State street, last Sunday afternoon, looking at the progress of the race, as well as the sights to be seen. The doctor was very much impressed and often gave vent to his feelings. Folkner's news stand was the only stop of any length made. So proud was he of this institution he spent some little time looking at the various departments of his little store. Mr. George Holt's, Alex, Stephens' and Emanuel Jackson's places were congratulated on the beautiful appearance of their respective places. 25TH REGIMENT U. S. A. KICKED. President Refuses to Heed Demand from Seattle That He Discipline Brownsville Regiment. Seattle, Washington, June 10.—Since ex-President Roosevelt let out a command of the Twenty-fifth Regiment, and the South lynching the Negroes, and no voice of dissent from the government, the Southerners all over the country have been doing all in their power to disrobe the boys of their uniform. They have done and are doing everything in their power to bring disgrace on the regiment out here, although the man accused has not been found guilty. On the 6th inst. Southerners out here made a great demonstration, and Senator Jones has taken up their cause. Although the President has not acted as yet, it is understood that he will let the men go without honor, as did Roosevelt. We are as a race holding our own out here, and we are contributing money to fight the case should Taft show his cloven foot. REV. MOSES H. JACKSON RE- TURNS FROM SCHOOL. Rev. Jackson, of Grace Presbyterian Church, returned to the city after almost a month's stay in the East. It is said the reverend comes back with another diploma, having received a degree of D. D. from his college, Lincoln. The doctor is looking fine and has gained over ten pounds. On Sunday morning he will tell of his trip and give a full account of the World's Sunday School Convention and tell the important part played by colored people. MISS M. A. TAYLOR Graduates from University of Chicago There is nothing so encouraging to the loyal members of the race when at spring time we can count with pride the goodly number of college men and women who stretch forth their hands for the conventional sheepskin. It has just come to our notice that Miss Taylor, of 2020 Dearborn school, a charming young miss, will be rewarded for a four-year course at the above university on June 14th; but this is not her only joy; she left the city on Tuesday evening for her home in Clinton, Iowa, to see her younger sister graduate from the high school of that city. Miss Jda Le. Taylor is the only one of her race in a class of fifty to receive the honor this year, and it is to Chicago to see her secure her diploma on Tuesday. The Tailors are happy and little Clinton points to them with pride. The Defender compliments them both. BROTHERLY LOVE OF THE NORTH SIDE. Wayman Chapel Sunday school will give a grand reception on June 14, 1910, at the home of Miss M. E. Thomas, 2422 Seminary avenue, from 8 to 11 o'clock p.m. To return the kindness shown towards them by the people of the North Side through their attendance to the entertainments given by the school during the months of April and May. All members and friends of both Wayman and Hermon Sunday schools are cordially invited to attend. Take any car to Fullerton avenue and west in Fullerton to Seminary avenue. Also any Northwestern Elevated train to Fullerton and walk west two blocks to Seminary avenue. H. H. Haily, Superintendent; Miss M. E. Thomas, Secretary. REV. FISHER SEA SICK Special to the Chicago Defender. Queenstown, Ireland, June 10—Dr. Fisher, of Olivet Baptist Church, who embarked last week for Scotland, stood the ocean for three miles. After this time the reverend gentleman could not stand the cradle of the deep. He refused his meals, although his friends prevailed on him. He even refused to speak. He just simply stood by the rail and looked into the sea. At Queenstown the doctor was all right, and was moving about the ship like a youngster. THE SOUTH SIDE WHITE HOUSE. The long felt need of the South Side has at last been found, a real rooming house, or hotel, with over forty rooms, which are all on the corner, well lighted, steam heated, and hardwood floors throughout, one block from the State street line, one block from 33d and 31st street elevated stations, with all the modern conveniences of the present day. This beautiful house is situated in one of the most beautiful blocks in the city, with a large veranda running the entire length of the building. The proprietor, Mrs. P. Symmes, prides her house on its private baths on each floor, and a beautiful desk 'phone; also her two large, light-walled dining rooms, which will seat 150 people, she says is her heart's delight. She also says none but first-class people will be accommodated. Her daughter, Mrs. M. Bell, who is her private secretary, will have charge of the business end of the hotel. Mrs. Symmes for eight years ran a hotel at 2534 and 2550 Wabash, and is known in the business world as the "little business woman," made the deal for this huge house at a cost equal to some twenty room resident houses. To cap the elimax she took a long term lease and privilege to renew at same rate. Several real estate dealers, who tried to get the place, were surprised when they heard that 3216 Wabash avenue, the most beautiful spot on that avenue, was gone, and especially to this little woman. They could hardly believe the truth of the owner. The Defender predicts a great future for Mrs. Symmes, and we are sure our summer visitors will take advantage of this rare opportunity. Look elsewhere for her big ad, in this paper. MR. PETER FULFORD DEAD. Mr. Peter Fulford, the young colored man's friend, messenger to H. H. Kohlsaat, died Tuesday of this week at his home, 52 W. 34th street, after an illness of four months. The pity of the community goes out to his beavered wife more so than any other widow in recent years, owing to the fact that she is blind and has been stricken only three and a half years. Mr. Fulford has helped many a young man on his feet, for most of our elderly men about Chicago are like leebergs, but with Mr. Fulford it was entirely different. He was boyish, and was always with young men, he loved them and his timely advice was always heeded. The editor of the Defender is one who often found cheery words from him when things became dark. All the boys in the loop who knew him will feel his loss. Sunday morning Golden Fleece Lodge of Old Fellows will escort his remains from Quinn Chapel to Graceland, its resting place. The gentlemen about the Record-Herald office will pay their respects by flowers and their presence OBITUARY. Mrs. Deana Long widow of Robert Long, was born in March, 1790, in the vicinity of Baltimore, Md. At the age of 30 she was taken to Alabama, where she spent seventy-five years of her life, mostly at Selma, Demopolis and Lyton. The deceased came to Chicago about fifteen years ago, and took residence with her daughter, Mrs. Rose Locklear, and granddaughter, Mrs. Hattle Hudson, 5126 Rhodes avenue, and under their loving care she fell asleep in the arms of Jesus Monday morning, May 23, at the age of 129 years and 2 months. She was converted at an early age and was a consistent Christian, and died in full triumph of faith. She was confined to bed about two years, and was always patient and cheerful and retained her mental faculty until a short time ago. She could relate with accuracy many incidents of interest that occurred in the past century. The demise of Deana Long dissolves a union of five generations. She is survived by a daughter, a granddaughter, three great grand and two great-great grandchildren. WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Charles Duffin, 3255 Forest avenue, Soldiers' Widows' Rest, announce the marriage of their daughter Lurena, to Mr. Harvey A Coleman at their residence, June 4th, Rev D. P. Roberts officiated. The bride carried American beauties as she stood resting on the arm of the groom. Only personal friends of the family were present. Nothing is quite so lirty looking as a table full of dirty dishes. DEDICATE KENTUCKY'S CAPITOL. New $2,000,000 Structure In Opened with Much Ceremony. Kentucky's $2,000,000 capitol was dedicated the other day with exercises that occupied practically the entire day. Special trains from all directions brought thousands of persons to Frankfort, one train bringing more than 1,000 girls from the Louisville high school. The exercises, which were opened early in the morning by a signal gun, included an invocation by Bishop Lewis W. Burton of Lexington and addresses, mainly of historic interest, by Gov. Augustus E. Willson and United States Senator William O. Bradley. If You See It DEFEND IT'S SO! PRICE 5 CENTS THEATER DIS. JIM CROW CARS RUNNING OUT OF CHICAGO DEPOT Negroes Sleeping on Dynamite Will Not Protect Their Rights Until Too Late-Still Waiting on the Lord to Fight Their Battle. STRIKE BACK EVEN UNTO DEATH. Appomattox Club with Its Representative Men Should Take Notice of Such and Race Men Generally—Stop Hiding Behind the Women's Skirts—Be Been! BY MRS. K. J. BILLS. I read an editorial in the Defender some time ago which spoke of the "Jim Crow" cars running into Chicago. It also said that the colored representative citizens of Chicago should protest against it, or something of that kind. I could not understand at the time how a person would know that it was a separate car. I could not believe that there could be signs on the outside "For Niggers" as they have in Texas. I now know and have seen and experienced it all. And I wish inform the Defender and the citizens of Chicago that Crow" cars not only run into Chicago, but they run out of Chicago. They leave Mr. C. & E. I. depot with large signs hung up in nice brass brackets, nicely painted, artistically arranged. One sign in the rear three quarters of the car, "White"; another sign in the front quarter of the car, "Colored." This is what I have not seen since I arrived at Evansville enroute to Nashville. Does this not plainly show that the railroad companies are trying to force "Jim Crowism" into the tree of Illinois and afterwards into all northern states? Are you brave, Chicago citizens, who are always boiling over with anger because of this law in the southern states, going to sit idly down and allow such an outrage to be forced upon you in a state where no such law has been passed? Such outrages if left without any kind of a protest get to be an unwritten law. People become so accustomed to seeing these signs that the legislature will have no trouble in passing it. Someone will say they never will pass such laws in Illinois, but don't be fooled. A white legislature can do anything they wish. It is therefore the duty of the colored citizens to be up and doing. Don't think for once tha I was silly enough to stop in the end with the sign "Colored" stuck up. But they have it there, thinking that some colored people would have little enough sense to stop wherever they see a sign. And I dare say as the train gets near the south the colored people would not dare go any further. My reason for saying this is this. When the train got to Vincennes, which was late in the night, a crowd of "hay seeds" on and made some slighting ver about colored people daring to the car. We ignored them, knew when we must move, they know their place in Chic I do hope that the colored of Chicago will see that the are not allowed to be disj Illinois. If they don't prote it they should never hold a dignation meeting when are mistreated in the south should begin at home. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to our kind friends in Rev. Mrs. Hill for their kindness pathy and floral offerings in bereavement in the loss of a loved mother. MRS. E. G. CLARK MRS. J. DWAR Bookly by Chicago Defender Pub- ling and Printing Company.

If the average Negro would holler as loudly when kicked by a white man as he does when he is kicked by a black one he could get much better recognition than he does. The Chicago daily papers who spoke of Mr. Geo. A. Wilson losing his suit against the Colonial Theater had nothing to say when Hon. E. H. Morris won his color line suit against the same house.

LOSS OF LIFE ABOVE THIRTY King and Queen Rush to Scene in Special Train—People, Caught While Sleeping, Flee. The province of Avellino bore the brunt of a severe earthquake that was felt throughout Southern Italy shortly before dawn the other day. The dead are estimated from thirty-five to fifty, and many are injured. Distressing scenes were witnessed as thousands fled in terror from their hovels, some dying of fright. Much damage was done to property, but it is impossible to determine the extent of the devastation. In Avellino little harm was done, and the only death reported was that of an old man who died of fright. The population, however, was terror-striken. Reports from villages throughout the province are much more grave. At Calitri, where twenty people are reported killed, the situation is distressing. Ten persons are said to have met death at San Sossio, where the sulphur waters, with which the district is rich, were released from bounds by the disturbance and flooded the vicinity. From the flood noxious gases arose. At Chianche a house fell, burying and killing an aged man. One person was killed and several were injured at Castelbaronia. Calabritto was badly damaged. It was in the darkest hour of the morning when the shock was felt at Avellino. The sleeping town was around by the shaking of walls, the rattling of furniture and the falling of plaster from the ceilings. In a moment panic had seized the 20,000 inhabitants, who live in daily fear of a seismic disaster. Half naked men, women and children died from their homes screaming with terror. They had in their minds visions of Messina and the horror of Reggio. Recently they was gossiped about a prediction that the approach of Halley's comet portended the end of the world. The authorities kept their heads, but they could not stay the mad rush for the squares and open districts outside the city. The wildest condition prevailed and the frightened ones could not be reasoned with; could not be stopped. In the squares hundreds threw themselves upon their faces and implored the mercy of the Almighty. After several hours of frantic entreaty the authorities succeeded in reestablishing a scallence of calm and relief sounds were organized. As is usually the case, the inhabitants refused to reenter their homes, fearing that another ankle would occur. Throughout the day the police were busy bringing together the scattered members of families and reassuring the frightened ones. Word that the king and queen were en route there on a special train served to afford new courage to the people and had a good effect in restoring order. UNITED STATES IS DEFIED. Nicaragua Threatens to Stop Vessels from Entering Harbor. "At the first shot fired against the American flag on an American vessel I will level the Bluff." This was the reply made by Commander Harold K. Tines, commanding the American gunboat Duquebo, to a threat made by General Rivas, of the Madríz force holding Bluceldis Bluff, Nicaragua, to stop by force any vessels of whatever nationality entering the harbor. General Rivas has practically defied the United States, declaring that he will disregard the proclamation issued from Washington on May 31 to the effect that the United States government denies the right of either faction to seize American owned vessels or property without consent of and recompense to the owners. He has warned Commander Hines that he will prevent by force, regardless of flag, any further vessels from entering the harbor. In response to this, the American commander immediately sent to him the above message, which would mean the annihilation of the handful of Madriz troops now remaining in this neighborhood. A critical situation has thus arisen which may involve the United States, but the American officers on the spot are of the opinion that General Rivas will not attempt to make good his threat in an effort to collect customs duties. There are constant rumors of threats against the life of Thomas P. Moffat, the American consul, and the whole situation at Bluefields, instead of quieting, has assumed a more serious aspect. EXPLORERS IN CLOSE RACE Parties Headed for Mount McKinley Reach Chulita Day Apart. Word has been received at Seward, Alaska, from the Parker Brown Mount McKinley expedition, saying that the party reached Chulita River, a tribute of the Susitna, on May 20. The New York Herald-Portland Oregonian expedition reached Chulita on May 29. Both parties are following the route Dr. Cooke claims to have taken. The snow in the hills is deep and the expeditions are being retarded by the lateness of the season.

In the year 1859 E. L. Drake of Titusville, Pa. drove the first oil well. Like other pioneers, he was regarded as a dreamer or a fool, and people laughed at the idea of tapping a subterranean oil lake. It was only by pretending that he was in search of a bed of salt that he was able to get drillers to work for him. When the horer had reached a depth of about seventy feet Drake found his anticipations realized, and he was the possessor of an oil well which, with the aid of a hand pump, yielded him twenty-five barrels a day.—New York American.

Mrs. Alice Bell, of 6221 Loomis boulevard, entertained the Ideal Woman's Club, Friday, and at the same time celebrated her son's birthday. There is a very serious case before the Negroes of this city at present. The Jew that attempted murder by entering the house of Mrs. Smith, 6229 Loomis boulevard, and without warning began cutting her with a hatchet, and the man is out on $1,000 bonds. We only hope such men as those who compose the Appomattox Club would take up such matters as those and help in the protection of the race. Mrs. L. B. Spencer, 6127 Loomis boulevard, gave a pleasant surprise Monday evening in honor of her husband's birthday. The house was crowded, the children's choir, of whom Mr. Spencer is chorister, surrounded him and sang, and also presented him with a little token. Mr. Spencer received many useful presents.

The administration's railroad bill was passed by the Senate of the United States the other night at 10 o'clock by a vote of 50 to 12. The negative votes were cast by Democrats as follows: Bacon, Fletcher, Frazier, Hughes, Money, Newlands, Percy, Purcell, Rayner, Shively, Smith of Maryland and Smith of South Carolina. After the vote was announced Mr. Beveridge moved the statehood bill be made the unfinished business, Mr. Nelson, chairman of the Public Lands Committee, contended the public land withdrawal bill, an administration conservation measure, should have precedence. This precipitated a conflict, the Democrats lining up with Mr. Beveridge. Finally, with the Beveridge motion pending, the Senate adjourned. The railroad bill, that now goes to conference, was reported to the Senate Feb. 25. The debate began March 15 when Mr. Cummins commenced his four days' speech against the measure as it then stood. Since then it has been continuously before the Senate for twelve weeks. The original Heepburn law, of which this is ancillary, was passed in the Senate May 18, 1906. Many speeches were delivered, in the main brief and explanatory of the position taken by Senators. When it became apparent that the final vote would be reached, several Senators who have fought vigorously for amendments asserted that, while the bill was not all they desired, it was a step in the right direction and would receive their support. Such statements were made by insurgent Republicans and Democrats. These speakers were La Follette, Dollier, Payt, Paytier, Simmons and Gore. Newlands and Bacon spoke at length in opposition. Plunges Into Ningara Falls Another unknown, a man apparently about 45 years old, plunged to death from Prospect Point, Niagara Falls.

Although returns from the Iowa primaries are far from complete, the nomination of Carroll (Rep.) and Porter (Dem.) for Governor, seems certain. Eight progressives and three "stand-patters" were nominated for Congress. Following are the Republican congressional candidates: First District—C. A. Kennedy, stand-pat. Second District—Charles Grilk, progressive. Third District—C. E. Pickett, progressive. Fourth District—Gilbert N. Haugen, progressive. Fifth District—James W. Good, progressive. Sixth District—N. E. Kendell, progressive. Seventh District—S. F. Prouty, progressive. Eighth District—H. M. Towner, stand-pat. (John Darrah, progressive, claims it.) Ninth District—Walter I. Smith, stand-pat. Tenth District—Frank P. Woods, progressive. Eleventh District—F. H. Hubbard, progressive. Democratic candidates are: First District—A. A. S. Pollard. Second District—J. A. Dearmand. Third District—John Dennison. (J. C. Murray claims in B.) Fourth District—D. D. Murphy. Fifth District—S. C. Hubel. Sixth District—Daniel W. Hamilton. Seventh District—Clint L. Price. Eighth District—F. Q. Stuart. Ninth District—W. I. Cleveland. Tenth District—No candidate. Eleventh District—No candidate. Nearly complete unofficial returns from the Seventh District give Prouty 1,100 over Hull. This reversal is decisive, as two years ago Hull was nominated by forty votes. Smith's majority in the Ninth is another surprise. Present returns give him 2,000 over Attorney General Byers. STANDING OF THE CLUBS, Progress of the Pennant Race in Base Ball Leagues.

Socialism was proclaimed by President Taft the other day as the greatest and most difficult problem that ever faced the United States, and the institution of private property was heralded as the frame of the growing issue. Without entering into any discussion of the tenets and principles of socialism, the President declared that the Republican party has demonstrated its capacity for dealing with other great issues wisely and effectively and that the country must soon determine whether the same party is to be entrusted with the solution of the next big problem. President Taft's speech was delivered in Jackson at the unveiling of a bronze tablet in commemoration of the birth of the Republican party "under the oaks" in 1854, and by many of his hearers his utterances were construed as framing a possible issue for the next presidential campaign. One passing reference to the insurgents was made by the chief executive in a declaration that unless individuals are willing to subordinate themselves to the will of the party majority the result would be a rule by groups. "that event," he said, "the Lord only knows what your government would be and what it would accomplish." Earlier in an interview, Mich. President Bill Clinton took the memory of Major General George A. Custer, making an address at the unveiling of a bronze equestrian statue of the civil war veteran and martyr of the Little Big Ho. Fig. 210 Estimating Board's Report Says Condition is Up to Standard. The first cotton report of the season by the crop reporting board, shows the condition of the growing crop, May 25, was 82 per cent of the normal, as compared with 81.1 per cent on that date last year and 80.9 per cent the average for the last ten years. The area planted with cotton this year is about 33,196,000 acres, or about 102.3 per cent, compared with 32,292,000 acres last year, an increase of about 904,000 acres or 2.3 per cent.

Its great affinity for all soaps and Its power for taking up and neutralizing the harmful elements that exist in all soaps are unsurpassed by anything known to the chemical world. The alkali is taken up by some of the properties of the cream, forming a new compound called cream solemate. This newly formed compound electrodes and purifies the skin; removing every trace of grease, paint, varnish, or any foreign elements, leaving the skin in perfect condition, pure and white. This makes possible the arterial circulation which brings the desired nutrition to the very outer layer of the skin. Rejuvenating the cellular elements and thereby bringing back the youthful appearance. Full directions on every bottle.

It is a principle in law that a man is innocent until proved guilty. It is a principle in business that a sales claim is false or exaggerated until it is proved conservative and true. In either event, the work of proving a case is a hard one, and calls for keen thought and a wide knowledge of human nature, cold, hard logic, and cold, hard facts—these alone will win.
