The Gazette

TRADE GROUP COUNCIL DEVELOPED BY THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The tenth annual number of the Florida Sentinel comes to us replete with excellent portraits and biographical sketches of prominent and progressive men of both races, many, residents of Pensacola. Editor M. M. Lewey is to be congratulated upon the excellence and attractiveness of this number of his usually excellent journal. Senator Foraker has the fight of his life on hand. The Dick-Herrick combination, representing the Hanna power, has declared that Jos. B. must be wiped off the political map of Ohio. It is said, the president has been notified that should he asisst Senator Foraker in the fight, the Ohio vote will go to Secretary Taft or some one else. As Foraker has accepted the challenge, something will be doing before long—St. Luke's Herald. Depend upon it, "something will be doing before long," and when the "map wiping" is done, it won't be Senator Foraker, who will be "nonest," as Rev. T. H. Jackson, now of Shorter College, Arkansas, used to say, but it will be the other fellows. Mark our predictions. If Governor Herrick does not remove the sheriff at Springfield, Ohio, and does not disband the military company which refused to put down the mob, he will not do his duty as the governor of a great state, determined that the law shall be respected and upheld at all hazards and at any cost.—Richmond (Va.) St. Luke's Herald. The governor should not only bring a suit of ouster against the sheriff in the state supreme court in quo warranto, but also against the mayor of Springfield. This is as much a part of his duty as the apprehension and punishment of the leaders of and participants in the mob, and it is the merest nonsense and mighty weak subterfuge to say it cannot be done or that there is not a law permitting or requiring it. Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi, reminds us very forcibly of the proverbial cow that kicks over the well-filled milk pail. His inaugural address was a tirade against the Afro-American, especially the latter's education. This was followed by a spectacular train-ride and alleged rescue of an Afro-American charged only with the commission of some crime, from the hands of a mythical mob, which, it was said, was bent on lynching him. His latest is the veto of a bill, passed by the Mississippi legislature, appropriating $10,000 to a normal school in that state, on the ground that the higher education of the Afro-American unfits him for duties in his sphere of life. As if Vardaman's sphere in life was any different from that of any other individual, black or white, in the same station of life and with similar ambitions, etc.! The governor is certainly not silly enough, not to know that color and race have nothing to do with it. THE PLAIN DEALER'S SILLY TALK. The Plain Dealer commends the action of the grand jury of Danville Ill., that in the case of the mod lynching an Afro-American, eighteen men and one woman were indicted, of whom fifteen were convicted and imprisoned. Says the Plain Dealer: "This example has been very generally applauded and is claimed that it is worth fifty laws like that on the Ohio statute books, providing that the county in which a lynching occurs, shall pay money to the victim's next of kin. A law, by the way, totally out of harmony with modern civilization, being simply a recognition of the old pre-historic Christian Teentonic principle, that a man-skayer must pay blood money to the family of his victim." The above is a strong utterance in vindication of the underlying principle by which human society should be governed. The grand jury is expected, under all circumstances, to do its full duty. Without such a provision as that found on the Ohio statute books, that the county in which a lynching occurs shall pay a fine, the grand jury owes it to the state to indict and punish the violators of law to the fullest extent. The grand jury has always had the right to indict and punish offenders, but the law which requires that the county shall pay a fine, stands as a distinct and independent feature aside from any duty on the part of a grand jury. It is obligatory and must be enforced. While on the contrary, a grand jury may or may not indict offenders. There is then a powerful efficiency in the provision, requiring pay-money to the victim's next of kin. The object of such a provision and of such a law is designed especially and wholly to deter the mob from committing the very offense for which men MAY be indicted by the grand jury. Then does not such a law entirely dispose of any action on the part of the jury and even throw around the community a possible safeguard against violence and outrages? When citizens sensibly realize that through indifference to the law they have incurred the burden of expense to the county, which might be well avoided, it is not reasonable to suppose that bad men will not be restrained; it is fair to believe that a brave and determined effort will be applied in suppressing mob violence. It seems a strange anomaly to hold that such a law "is totally out of harmony with modern civilization." In the absence of some repressing power to restrain bad men from mischief, communities become deficient and remiss of their obligations, and in the absence of the present law the reckless element would feel no restraint and would render any community less safe than otherwise. Let a few more counties like Champaign, in our own state, feel the weight of the penalty inflicted upon them, and communities will learn to unite in a stronger purpose and determination to avert the shame and disgrace from which Ohio now suffers in her weakness and humiliation. The application of law is the only remedy to suppress crime and violence, and though a maddened and vicious element at Springfield dared to defy the law, yet that is no reason that the provision contained in that law shall not be rigely applied and enforced. It was not at all argued that mob violence was not possible in Ohio—not at all. But the provision is made that whenever such outrages shall occur, communities allowing such, shall pay the penalty. If men will not restrain themselves, they must be restrained by law; they must be checked and brought to answer for evil doing, and this is the design and end of the law. The demon who conspires against the state, who incites rebellion and insurrection, deserves to suffer and the individual who offers such an example in any community, merits the extreme penalty, for his offense is far reaching and destructive and admits of no degree of allowance. THE PENSION ROLL. Interesting Facts Concerning "Unknown Army"—Five Persons Still Drawing Government Allowances on Account of Revolution. The economists, for instance, may find consolation in the statement made here that the pension system was the greatest as a burden to the people of the United States in 1893, since which time the burden has been constantly decreasing, until it has shrunk in ten years from $2.24 to $1.32 per $1,000 of taxable wealth. In ten years more, Mr. Ware thinks, the burden will cease to be noticed, unless some new legislation is enacted such as that recently demanded by the Grand Army of the Republic, in which case it may be larger for a while instead of less. The report places the total number of pensioners now on the rolls at 996,545, of which 729,356 are soldiers and 267,189 are widows and dependents. It is interesting to learn that what the commissioner calls "the unknown army," that is, the living soldiers of the civil war who have not applied for pensions, numbers about 200,000, or about 30 per cent. of the total number of survivors, who are placed at about 900,000. This "unknown army" is applying for pensions at the rate of about 14,000 a year. Mr. Ware estimates that if the pension laws remain unchanged this army in five more years will be reduced to about 60,000, and in ten years will cease to be a factor. The union soldier who has the distinction of being the first to have a claim allowed at the pension office appears to have been one Leopold Charrier, a member of Company G, of the Twelfth regiment, New York militia infantry, whose claim was allowed August 12, 1861. Mr. Charrier, it appears from the record, was discharged from the service August 6, 1861, because of a gunshot wound through both arms, received while at drill by accidental discharge of a musket. The woman who obtained certificate No. 1 as the widow of a Union soldier was Mrs, Caroline Ohl, of Washington, D. C., whose husband was killed in a skirmish at Great Falls, Md., in June, 1861. Five pensions are on the roll of the revolution, 1,116 on account of the war of 1812, 4,734 on account of the Indian wars and 13,874 on account of the Mexican war. The great bulk of the roll is as follows: Civil war, invalids, 703,455; widows, 248,390; Spanish war, invalids, 9,200; widows, 3,662; regular establishment, invalids, 9,170; widows, 2,938. Of the few surviving widows and daughters of revolutionary soldiers on the pension roll June 30, 1903, the oldest was Hannah Newell Barrett, of Boston, aged 103, who was pensioned by special act as daughter of Noah Harrod, who served two years, from May, 1782, as private in Capt. George Webb's company, Col. Sherard's regiment of Massachusetts's troops. The other four, in the order of their ages, are: Rebecca Mayo, of Newbern, Va., aged 90, pensioned as the widow of a private in Virginia troops; Ether S. Damon, of Plymouth Union, Vt., aged 89, the widow of a private in the Massachusetts troops; Sarah C. Hurlbutt, Little March, Pa., pensioned as the daughter of a soldier who served with a regiment of Massachusetts troops, and Rhoda A. Thompson, aged 82, who served for six years as a private in a New York regiment. The last surviving soldier of the war of the revolution was Daniel F. Blakeman, who died in Freedom, N. Y., in 1869, at the age of over 109 years. Confessed a Grewsome Plot. Chicago, March 23.—A plot to get valuables found upon victims of the Iroquois fire was admitted to the police yesterday by John Mahnken, who was accused of seeking to get possession of the body of Mrs. Amelia Mueller, of Milwaukee, and also that of Mrs. Frank R. Greenwald. On Mrs. Mueller's body was $400. On Mrs. Greenwald's fingers were several valuable rings. Mahnken's story implicates a man who claimed to be a physician. Mahnken knew him as "Dr. George." The New York police are said to have information that a man answering to the description of "Dr. George" has been implicated in several life insurance swindles. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1904. Committee Reports It to the Ohio Senate. The Bill Is a Compromise Between the Cleveland and Cincinnati Plans-Plan for Boards in Cities and Villages. Columbus, O.. March 24.—The senate committee on common schools reported the Harrison school code yesterday with important amendments. The bill, as reported, is a compromise between the Cleveland and Cincinnati plans and the Cleveland delegation which has been here since Tuesday night is by no means pleased. There is a feeling among the delegation that Senator Stewart failed to show the necessary fighting quality. Stewart, in fact, has been accused of the most flagrant wobbling. Twelve of the 13 members signed the report, Houck, of Knox, refusing to sign as the bill did not suit him. He will offer several amendments. The change of terms from three to two years necessitated nearly 100 amendments of minor character. All members will be elected in November and take office in January. The section relating to city school districts, which caused the prolonged fight as amended in the committee by Mr. Stewart, of Cleveland, provides that not less than three nor more than eight members shall be elected at large, and not less than two nor more than 30 by sub-districts. Present boards of education are to select, not later than July next, how many members of the board shall be elected in November. If they fail to do so, then the state school commissioner shall act. All boards are to organize each year and the clerk may be elected for two years, and he may or may not be a member of the board. The provisions relating to special districts are strengthened so as to make their bond issues legal. Their members consist of five and are elected at large. In villages the number is fixed at six and in townships at five. As there are over 70 centralized townships in Ohio, this provision was carefully considered by the committee and was found to be the only solution of the problem to continue them as now organized. Provision is made for the election of a school director by a city board and his salary shall not exceed $5,000. The superintendent of city districts is given power to nominate teachers and if he refuses to name an old teacher, three-fourths of the board can elect. All state normal schools shall have a regular course on physical education. There shall be 12 county examinations annually, two each in September and October and none in June and July. Speaking of the bill after it was reported, Senator Stewart said reported, Senator Stewart said: "The measure is by no means what I would have liked, but we had to take the best we could get. There are many provisions that are objectionable but we did the best we could." The bill was made a special order for next Wednesday. POISON IN MEDICINE. "Buffalo Bill" Claims His Wife Gave Jake His Thing Away It to Him Three Years Ago. Denver, March 24.—Col. William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill," made a deposition before a notary in this city yesterday in the action for divorce which he has begun in Big Horn county, Wyoming. Col. Cody will sail for Europe shortly and will be absent from the country when his suit is tried. In the proceedings yesterday Col. Cody was interrogated by his own attorney and was subjected to cross-examination by counsel for Mrs. Cody. "Mrs. Cody tried to poison me three years ago," the colonel testified. "She had frequently threatened to do it. We were visiting in Rochester, N. Y., during the holidays of 1900, and the day after Christmas I was ill. I supposed the turkey and plum pudding did not agree with me. She said she would fix me up. She pretended to give me medicine. It was poison. It almost finished me, for I was unconscious for some time. I think it must have been an overdose, for it made me vomit, and I suppose this saved my life." SPRING FRESHETS. Chicago's Suburbs Experience the Worst Floods in Years. Chicago, March 24.—Much damage was caused yesterday in Chicago suburbs by spring floods, the worst in years. The Desplaines river reached a record mark and at Romeo, Lemont, Willow Springs, River Forest and other towns in the Desplaines valley bridges were wrecked or weakened by the high waters and the residents greatly alarmed. One man was drowned as a result of the flood and there were a number of narrow escapes. Farm houses at Lemont, situated on the edge of the valley, are standing in water which reaches up to the windows. In Austin 1,500 employes of the Meyer Cord Co. were made idle because the water flowed in the basement of the plant, putting out the fires. Conditions were similar in some of the towns along the Fox river. Many of the residents of Dauphin Park are unable to get supplies to their homes. A Race War in Arkansas. Dewitt, Ark., March 24.—Three negroes were killed yesterday in a battle between blacks and whites at St. Charles, this county. A posse of deputy sheriffs was engaged in a search for two negroes who had seriously wounded two white men in a fight at St. Charles and while passing through a section of woodland they were fired at from a thicket by a party of negroes. The whites returned the fire and instantly killed Garrett Flood, Will Madison and Will Baldwin. The tragedy has greatly aroused the community. Lives Lost in a Prairie Fire. Holdredge, Neb., March 24.—A terrific prairie fire is raging along the line of the Burlington road for a distance of seven miles. A farmer named August Olsen was burned to death, and two other persons who are missing are believed to have lost their lives. Three Men Drowned. Louisville, Ky., March 24.—Andrew Ingrigg, Arthur Everhart and Edward Hert, young men of Jeffersonville, Ind., were drowned yesterday in the Ohio river opposite Louisville. Their boat was upset. Judiciary Committee of Lower House of Congress So Voted. Judge Charles Swayne, of the Florida District, Is the Person Against Whom Charges Are Preferred-Fourth Case of Its Kind. Washington, March 22.—The house committee on the judiciary yesterday voted to impeach Judge Charles Swayne, federal judge for the district of Florida. The commission reached this conclusion at a session lasting from 2 until 6 o'clock. The vote and the details of the charges which will form the ground of impeachment, the committee agreed to withhold until the report on the case has been submitted for presentation to the house. This report is to be drawn by Representative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the sub-committee that took the testimony in the case. Of this sub-committee Messrs. Palmer and Clayton, of Alabama, reported to the full committee in favor of impeachment, while Representative Gillette, of California, reported against it. Mr. Palmer's report will be prepared this week. If the house votes to impeach Judge Swayne two of its members will be appointed formally to notify the senate, before which body, sitting in a judicial capacity, the case must be tried. The case against Judge Swayne would be conducted by six managers, who would be members of the house elected by that body by ballot for the work. Judge Swayne after the case has been presented to the senate by these managers will be given an opportunity to present his side of the case While the committee has voted to give out no details of the case at present, it is known that the charges on which testimony was taken include those of being absent from his circuit; being a non-resident of his district; imprisoning a lawyer in a contempt proceeding, imprisoning the son of a litigant for contempt of court, and refusing to hear a certain witness in a case before him, alleging that he would not believe the witness under oath. The last impeachment proceedings were those of Andrew Johnson. Only three federal judges have been impeached. These were Judge Pickering, of New Hampshire, who was impeached for giving up the bark Eliza to her owner, without taking proper bond after the bark had been seized for smuggling; being drunk and using profane language on the bench. Judge Charles, of Pennsylvania, was impeached for refusing to allow a lawyer to address the court or the jury on a question of law which he already had decided. Judge Peck, of Missouri, who was the last judge impeached, was charged with improperly striking the name of a lawyer from a roll of attorneys for contempt. TERRIFIC STORM. A Tornado Strikes Higginsville, Mo.—Fifty Buildings Partly Wrecked. Kansas City, March 22.—A special to the Times from Higginsville, Mo., says 50 buildings are partly wrecked, one man was mortally wounded and several others were hurt, the town is in darkness and the streets are strewn with debris as the result of a tornado and hail storm which swept over Higginsville last evening. The hail on the streets was a foot deep within five minutes after the storm began and some of the stones were as large as hens' eggs. Dozens of trees in the town were blown down and several horses were killed on the street. Wind and hail came first and were followed with a terrific downpour of rain which flooded nearly every cellar in town. The storm came from the west. It kept within a narrow path, only about two blocks of the business quarter being damaged. Corder and Alma, Mo., are said to be considerably damaged. According to meagre reports several houses in both Corder and Alma were wrecked. J. W. Ensely's grocery in Higginsville was wrecked. John Holzen, a clerk, was mortally injured. It is said that 2,000 windows were broken by the storm. The loss is $40,-000. PHILIPRINE ELECTIONS Results Show that the Natives are Adopting American Methods. Washington, March 22.—Secretary Taft has received a report from Gov. Wright regarding the recent gubernatorial elections in the Philippines, from which it appears that elections were held in 32 provinces with the result that 16 of the former governors were re-elected and 11 defeated. Gov. Wright said that the elections had passed off quietly and that great interest was manifested in the results. He added that the Filipinos showed themselves adepts in political methods One of the governors who failed of re-election is Capt. A. U. Betts, formerly of the volunteer army, but now a resident of Albay. Since his residence in the Philippines Capt. Betts has married a mistizo and has otherwise identified himself with the country. His competitor was Ramon Santos, a native. Betts has protested against being counted out and similar protests have been filed with the Philippine commission by the defeated candidates in several other provinces. Ex-Mayor Grace Dies. New York, March 22.—Ex-Mayor William R. Grace died of pneumonia yesterday at his residence in this city. He was in his 72nd year. He was elected mayor of New York in 1880 on the democratic ticket and was again elected in 1884. He has been noted for his philanthropies. During the famine in Ireland he contributed large sums to the relief of the stricken peasantry. Mr. Grace was born in Queenstown. He was a director in many banks and steamship companies and other commercial enterprises. His wealth is estimated at many millions. A Woman Suicides. Lexington, Ky., March 22.—Mrs. Matthew T.

MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is seventh daughter, tells your entire life—pass present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Claivoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. You should know the occasion of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are so lucky. That is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $1.00. All letters must contain stamps. MRS. M. B. MARTH, 246 West 31st Street, NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. DANIEL S. YOUNG. EDWARD YOUNG. Bell, North 1080 L.

It is time for the "manhood" orators of Washington to do a little house-cleaning at home.—Louisville (Ky.) Standard. The daily papers' statements of this and last week, to the effect that the petition "movement was begun by the Colored Women's State Federation" is not true, because this credit is due the Anti-Lynching League, which inaugurated it at its meeting last week Monday evening, when the committee consisting of Hon. H. C. Smith, chairman; Dr. E. M. Grant and Mr. G. H. Ganaway were elected to draw up and see to the successful circulation of the petitions. This, the committee did, and is still doing. At the league's meeting last Monday evening at St. John's church, splendid progress was reported, and next Monday evening selected as a time for the turning in of all the petitions. There should be a large attendance at this meeting of the league, if for no other reason than to witness its splendid work and see some grand results. Last Monday evening Mrs. Ella White and President Buchanan presided and the meeting was an exceptionally interesting one. Many good talks were made by members, including one by the editor of The Gazette. All members should be on hand promptly on Monday evening at 8 o'clock, in the Sunday School room of St. John's church. The committee named above was constituted one on resolutions, at the last meeting, and is to report on Monday evening something unique and interesting. This will add materially to the enjoyment of the meeting. Attorney Albert S. White, of Louisville, recently wrote the following to the Kentucky Standard, of that city: "Last winter, while off on a business itineracy, I visited a number of towns in a progressive eastern commonwealth, and also a number in a hustling western state. It has always been my custom on such trips to take notes of the condition of the people, to visit the churches, schools, places of business, the preachers, doctors, lawyers, and well known people. On my visit to these towns in the eastern state, containing a large—I might say an unusually large—number of Negro business and professional people. I followed my custom of taking note of what they did and hoped to do. It didn't require long for me to discover at each place that there was an abnormal amount of division and jealousy among these leaders in business and professional life. The doctors visited, branded each other behind one another's backs as quacks, scoundrels and ignoramuses; each lawyer claimed that the other was a shyster, a scavenger, a pauper, a liar, a wife beater and as ignorant of Blackstone and Keat as of Sanskrit and Greek, and even the ministers claimed that each other were more noted for the breach than the observance of the Ten Commandments. I found the same spirit of hostility and antagonism running through every trade and every line of business. It can thus be seen that the intellect of the several communities were not in a position to accomplish much on account of conflicting, rival claims and bickering. After a careful personal examination I concluded that each person had exaggerated the infirmities of the other and the most of them had many excellent traits. I thought that I should and a different condition of affairs in the western state, but was doomed to disappointment, as they were, with slight differences, almost a duplicate of those just left."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Young Women:—I had frequent headaches of a severe nature, dark spots before my eyes, and at my menstrual periods I suffered untold agony. A member of the lodge advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, but I only scorned good advice and felt that my case was hopeless, but she kept at me until I bought a bottle and started taking it. I soon had the best reason in the world to change my opinion of the medicine, as each day my health improved, and finally I was entirely without pain at my menstruation periods. I am most grateful."—NETTIE BLACKMORE, 28 Central Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. Painful Periods are quickly and permanently overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The above letter is only one of hundreds of thousands which prove this statement to be a fact. Menstruation is a severe strain on a woman's vitality,—if it is painful something is wrong. Don't take narcotics to deaden the pain, but remove the cause—perhaps it is caused by irregularity or womb displacements, or the development of a tumor. Whatever it is, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is guaranteed to cure it. If there is anything about your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. She will treat your letter as strictly confidential. She can surely help you, for no person in America can speak from a wider experience in treating female ills. She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation. Details of Another Case. "D careless ings of unders well, b truth a Compo ing and "I "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Ignorance and carelessness is the cause of most of the sufferings of women.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, they would be saved much suffering and would soon be cured. used it for five months for a local difficulty which had troubled me for years, and for which I had spent hundreds of dollars in the vain endeavor to rectify.

I am now enjoying the best of health, and am most grateful, and only too pleased to endorse such a great remedy." — Miss Jennie L. Edwards, 604 H St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Mrs. Pinkham, whose address is Lynn, Mass., will answer cheerfully and without cost all letters addressed to her by sick women.

WESTERN CANADA HAS AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE. The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly Favored. An interesting feature of Western Canada is its climate. Those who have made a study of it speak highly of it. The Canadian Government Agents are sending out an Atlas, and at the same time giving valuable information concerning railway rates, etc., to those interested in the country. As has been said, the climate is excellent. The elevation of this part of Canada is about 1,800 feet above the sea, about twice that of the average for Minnesota. It is a very desirable altitude. The country has a very equable climate, taking the seasons through. The winters are bright and the summers are pleasantly warm. R. F. Stuart, director of the meteorological service for Canada, says: "The salient features of the climate of the Canadian northwest territories are a clear, bracing atmosphere during the greater part of the year, and a medium rainfall and snowfall. The mean temperature for July at Winnipeg is 66, and Prince Albert 62. The former temperature is higher than at any part of England, and the latter is very similar to that found in many parts of the southern countries." At Prince Albert the average daily maximum in July is 76 and the minimum 48. Owing to this high day temperature with much sunshine, the crops come to maturity quickly. Moisture is ample in the Saskatchewan valley, being about 18 inches annually. It is notable that about 75 percent. of the moisture falls during the crop months. Thus, Western Canada gets as much moisture when it is needed and with several hours more sunshine daily than land further south gets during the growing season, it is not difficult to understand why crops mature quickly and yield bountifully. Winter ends quickly, sowing is done during April and sometimes in March. Harvest comes in August, about the middle. Cyclones, blizzards, dust and sand storms are unknown. A Masticating Wooer. "It is with falting penmanship that I write to have communication with you about the prospective condition of your damsel offspring. For some remote time past a secret passion has firing in my bosom internally with loving for your—daughter." So begins the letter of a love-striken Babu. The writer continues: "My educational capabilities have abandoned me and here I now cling to those lovely long tresses of your much coveted daughter like a mariner shipwrecked on the rock of love. As to my scholastic caliber, I was recently rejected from the Rangoon college, and I am now masticating." -Penang Gazette. CUTICURA OINTMENT The World's Greatest Skin Care and Sweetest Emollient—Positively Unrivalled. Cuticura Ointment is beyond question the most successful curative for torturing disfiguring humors of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever compounded, in proof of which a single anointing with it, preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed in the severer cases by a dose of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humors, permits rest and sleep, and points to a speedy cure when all else fails. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and children, speedily soothing and healing the most distressing cases. Encouraging Sign.

The Bates Machine Co., of Jollet, Ill., which secured a writ of injunction against the Machinists' union and its members, has brought suit for $200,000 damages against the same defendants. The writ granted by Judge Hilscher is a sweeping one, prohibiting interference of any kind on the part of the defendants. French residents of Canada who are subject to military duty in France have received orders to return to France at once for garrison duty. The call has caused great surprise and excitement among them.

A funeral unique from the fact that the coffin was made by the man who was placed in it and because the service was arranged by the same man, Dr. Jehu Barr, has been held from his late residence at Chicago. The body was laid in a vault which he built in Oak Ridge cemetery and another coffin of his manufacture will be used at his widow's funeral.

"Her case had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years' standing. "She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman—change of life. In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonderful remedies, In a letter dated January 11 Atkinson says, after five years with Peruna: "I will ever continue to spa word for Peruna.

I commenced to use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. "Your remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more.

Speech Became Entangled and Lost Its Way in the Foliage on Speaker's Face. At the live stock show recently held in Chicago Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson was one of the speakers at a mass meeting of cattle men. Behind him on the same platform, relates the New York Herald, somewhat screened from observation, sat Norman J. Colman, the first man to hold the portfolio of agriculture. Secretary Wilson made a happy speech, and because of his popularity with the western ruralist he was the shining, central figure of the gathering. When he had finished talking lusty lungs and sunburned hands gave him noisy approbation. The applause had not ceased when a Nebraska farmer, with whiskers like Senator Peffer's, arose in the back of the hall and said: "Gentlemen, we are all mighty glad to hear Secretary Wilson and are ready to do him honor, but let us not forget the other great men we have with us. We have on the same platform to-night the alfalfa and omega of agriculture." It was as far as the speaker ever got. His few remaining words were lost in the shricks of laughter. EIGHT YEARS OF TORTURE. No suffering more keen than kidney suffering. Sick kidneys make bad blood; cause weak, stiff and aching backs; cause blind, sick and dizzy headaches, lack of appetite and loss of sleep; keep you all tired out and spoil digestion. ```markdown ``` To have perfect health, you must cure the kidneys. Read how one man was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills after eight years of torture. Henry Soule, of Pullney St., Hammondport, N. Y., says: "For eight years I suffered constant agony from kidney complaint. I endured the worst torture from gravel and the kidney secretions were excessive and contained sediment like brick dust. I had to get out of bed from ten to twenty times a night and the loss of sleep wore me out. Indigestion came on and the distress after eating was terrible. Doan's Kidney Pills effected a complete and lasting cure, and after the symptoms of kidney trouble were gone my stomach began to work as it should. This lasting cure, especially in a person of my age, proves the great value of Doan's Kidney Pills more convincingly than could any words of mine."

In a letter dated January 1, 1900, Mr. Atkinson says, after five years' experience with Peruna: "I will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. In my rounds as a traveling man I am a walking advertisement for Peruna and have induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most satisfactory results. I am still cured of catarrh." John O. Atkinson, Box 272, Independence, Mo. When old age comes on, catarrh diseases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safe-guard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly. Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic remedy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is.
