THE CANDLE BACK IN FAVOR. Artistic Holders Employed for the Illuminants of a Past Generation. The woman whose aim is to reveal a touch of the artist in her home just at present is interested in the old fashioned candlestick. It is a revival as happy in its way as that of the return to favor of Sheffield or pewterware. The candle held its own against the oil lamp, but lost its popularity when gas came in, and it was practically outlawed when electricity came into general use. Now, however, many women of society are using candles extensively. One society leader, in fact, has gone to the extreme of having electric fixtures removed from several rooms, relying entirely upon candles for lighting. These candles she displays in antique candlesticks of beaten brass. Tall Russian candlesticks now are seen on many library tables and tall silver colonial sticks are on many dressing tables. New candlesticks are shown in pottery and wrought iron, but antiques are first in favor. The prices of old brass candlesticks have advanced greatly in the last few weeks and few now are to be found in the antique shops. EASILY MADE PINAFORE. This is an easily made pinafore, suitable to be copied in washing silk or nainsook. The square band or yoke at the neck is of embroidery; insertion might be used and sharply mitred at the corners to bring it to shape; the material is gathered to this and is hemmed at the foot; a fill of material edged with embroidery finishes the armholes. Materials required: One yard 36 inches wide, three-quarters yard insertion, three-quarters yard embroidery. Keeping the Mouth Sweet. The mouth should be rinsed at least once a day with an antiseptic wash. The habit is a germ preventive and helps keep the breath sweet. THE GAZETTE Designers of Talent Have Put Forth Their Best Efforts for Little One's Adornment. A little empire frock for the baby is one of the season's new wrinkles. It has the tiniest, shortest yoke, cut square and outlined with a band of beading run with blue ribbon. The full little skirt is gathered to the yoke and finished with a deep hem, feather stitched. Above the hem is a band of valenciennes insertion with three tiny tucks above and below it. The sleeves are merely little puffs gathered into beading run with ribbon, tied in a rakish bow and finished with a lace frill. Tiny pearl buttons fasten the frock at the back. Another equally attractive little frock is cut with a front and back panel and sleeves in one piece. The panels run from the neck to the hem of frock and are outlined with fine feather-stitching, and have scattered tiny blossoms and French knots worked in white mercerized embroidery thread over the entire surface. The neck and sleeves are finished with lace insertion and frills of edging and the skirt is gathered at the sides. Smart Touch for a Handbag Smart Touch for a Handbag. A New York woman recently discovered a use for a heavy gold link watchchain (of the style long ago discarded) belonging to her husband. She had a small, gold-mounted handbag, with a leather strap. The latter having become rusty from constant friction with the hand, she removed the strap, riveted the gold chain on with gas pliers and, behold! an added smart touch without expense or recourse to a jeweler. Since the passing of this style of chain those who own ornaments of the kind find them something of a problem. The splendid womanship often makes the smelter's office seem a sacrifice, and to convert them into bracelets at a jeweler's is costly. Here for more than one of us is a rea. y practical suggestion requiring no or side assistance. Variety in Sleeves Sleeves are fuller, especially from the elbow to the wrist, and with the lighter dresses a long three-quarter sleeve is much in vogue, though the long sleeve over the hand is as much seen as ever. The wise woman makes it a question of individual judgment. For instance, a froun frouting muslin garden party frock seems to always look smarter with the shorter type of sleeve, whereas nothing looks worse than the sleeve of a tailor-made that displays an expanse of bare arm. Brushing Hair Is Essential A woman who wears her hat constantly, as one must during days of many social engagements, must brush her hair carefully at night unless she wishes it to be seriously affected. Combining will not bring back the turn of the hair near the scalp, to the angle at which it should grow, but brushing will overcome the difficulty. The brush must be held to make the hair go up and when the latter is released there will be a fluffiness and lightness not to be secured otherwise.

DENOUNCED PRESIDENT TAFT! Gov. Harmon and Ex-Gov. Campbell Mr. Jason Brown and Others, at N. N. P. L. Annual Meet— Other* Reso- Jotions. Columbus, O.,—The "National" Negro Political League met here last week and held an open meeting in Dunbar theater Wednesday evening which was addressed by Gov. Harmon, Mr. Jason Brown of Akron (son of the martyr, John Brown), J. M. Summers of xenia, Geo. W. Johnson of Cleveland, Francis H. Warren of Detroit, and T. H. Moore of Johnstown, Pa. W. M. Trotter of Boston presided over the meeting, there was a woofful lack of harmony. Thursday the business sessions of the league were held in the same place and resolutions were adopted condemning the policy of retrogression advocated by President Taft and declared it had no apology to offer for its stand against him previous to his election. The resolutions declare that the new constitution will in effect an invitation to white men to make it appear that there was opposition to the appointment of colored men to office and have attempted to justify the new constitutions adopted in southern states designed to eliminate the Negro voters. Appointments made by the president are criticised, with alleged antiobelium tendencies. The sessions were closed with addresses by exGov. Campbell and others. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Bishop Alexander Walters of New York City; Geo. W. Johnson of Cleveland, first vice president; second vice president; and third vice president. The next meeting place was not decided upon. The organization's name was changed to the "National" Independent Political League. SHERIFF SHIPP'S CULPABILITY. Defiance of the United States Supreme Court's Mandate-Blamed for the Unintended Consequences Washington, D. C.—The opinion of the United States supreme court was couched in indignant but dignified terms. Among other things, Chief Justice Fuller, who read the court's decision, said: "In view of this, Shipp's failure to manage the slightest preparation to resist the mob (in 1905); the absence of all of the deputies except Gibson from the jail during the mob's proceeding, occupying a period of some hours in the early evening; the action of Shipp in not resisting the mob and his failure to make any reasonable effort to resist the mob; such the action of the mob, justify the inference of a disposition upon his part to render it easy for the mob to lynch Johnson and to acquiesce in the lynching." The chief justice also declared that after Johnson was taken from the jail the sheriff had made no effort to help the mob, but in effect aided and abetted it." On Tuesday, the sheriff, chief Justice Fuller said it was that "Shipp not only made the work of the mob easy, but in effect aided and abetted it." On Tuesday, the sheriff, deputy, one Gibson, and four other white residents of Chattanooga, will be sentenced in about one month, for contempt of court and not for their participation in the lynching of the Afro-American Johnson. Here is an opportunity for our many so-called "national" organizations to get busy and DO something besides the police, and secure the conviction and punishment of Sheriff Shipp, his deputy and the others associated with him in the work of that Chattanooga mob. "IN THE SAME OLD WAY." Afro-American Chaufeurs Being Gotten Rid Of—Revolting Crimes, Etc. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Places of colored chauffeurs who have been driving Pittsburg families are being taken by white men. At a meeting of colored chauffeurs, held some time ago, it was alleged open boasts were made regarding the chauffeurs' employers. This, being noised about caused women of the families to demand discharges of chauffeurs—Cincinnati Enquirer. Whenever white people desire to accomplish an object for which an excuse is necessary, but a rule of the law that the excuse will be forthcoming. When the Russians wanted an excuse to butchera Jews, it was "alleged" that at their religious festivals Christian babies were sacrificed! We know what hapened to the poor Jews! Pittsburg has been a storm of imminent attacks over the past several months ago, who alleged that white girls were terror stricken and afraid to walk the streets because of so many assaults by Neo-Geos; and yet, as a matter of fact, the police were even then arresting white women for much too "close" associating with colored men with the threat of prominent white men of that city were arrested for nameless crimes of a most revolting description. The matter was hushed up. If high class white men do these things, what are we to expect from those of the low class? The truth is New York men, hence the pretty little story about their meeting and talk—Cincinnati Union. Taft Making Southern Democrats. Judge Robinson, defeated Republican an applicant for the federal judgement in North Carolina, the appointment having gone to a "red-shirted, disfranchisement" Democrat, expressed himself in very strong language as to the action of the president. Among other things, he said: "I think that it was a direct insult to every Republican lawyer in the district, now we have no reason why any self-respecting gentleman should join the Republican party in North Carolina. I do not hesitate to say that I shall继承 my sons from any filia obligation either to join or remain in the party."Charleston (S. C.) Southern Reporter. Read the old renable Gazette.

Will has stirred our people of this city as nothing has moved them except the lynchings of some years ago: The men to return to work under conditions existing at the time of the strike, until the final adjustment is made. All Negro firemen at the terminal stations will be dispensed with. All discharged Brotherhood firemen at the terminal stations will be three other points are yet to be decided. 1. Whether Negro firemen shall be eliminated from the road. 2. If not eliminated, what percent age of Negroes shall there be? age of her injuries shall be there? Situity of white firemen over Negro firemen. It is generally understood that the railroad agrees to recognize the seniority of the white firemen and that the employment of certain Negro firemen who have been with the road many years will be continued. After they are retired, no others will be permitted to fire. It is reported that both sides were notified that some adjustment must be reached by 6 o'clock, May 29, or the federal courts would take cognizance of the situation. FAITHFUL SERVANT REWARDED Former Slave Given a Large Income for Life by His Employer. New York City.—William Henderson, for 40 years the faithful coachman of the John A. Morris family at Throggs's Neck, can lean back on the cushions of his own carriage now and order his own coachman to drive him. Such is the reward which comes when he and his wife are 70 and well enough to enjoy many a drive. Perhaps the coachman is the proper carriage and coachman, includes a house and land and an income for life, was hastened by Mrs. Morris' conclusion that the automobile is the proper carriage for the modern woman of fashion. Mrs. Morris was Cora Hennessy of New Orleans, and Henderson was born in the service of her family.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature. 1 1904 to 1908 1 1808 to 1808 1 1600 to 1902 TRADE & COUNCIL Cleveland, O., June 5, 1909. 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. John Temple Graves, formerly of Georgia, now an editor of the Chicago Examiner, one of Wm. Randolph Hearst's papers, recently made a speech somewhere in the east in the interest of Morris Brown college of Atlanta, Ga., and actually praised our people, so the dispatches to the daily newspapers of the country said last week. As Graves has been of the Tillman, Vardaman and Dixon kind, we can hardly believe it. MOB-RULE SUPREME The Associated Press reports that when the news of the so-called "settlement" of the Georgia Railroad strike was received by President Taft at Pittsburgh, where he is enjoying himself "swinging around the circle," like his two moral predecessors, Andy Johnson and Rutherford Hayes, he turned to his "Knox" and said: "That's fine, Knox that's fine." The basis of the settlement does not concern Mr. Taft. The questions of wrong or right, law or mob violence, does not enter into the system of "policy." As some men will do anything to make money, others will do anything for their "policy." It's humiliating to every citizen of the republic to think that no higher conceptions are held by men in the higher and highest positions than by the city ward politician. However, Mr. Taft belongs to the Hamlet type of men, who like to philosophize and declaim, but who have a "holy horror" of acting. The president was "afraid" that he might have to exert the power of law and order; that is, that he might have to uphold the principle of every lawful form of government against mob-rule and rabble-violence. Rather than do that, Mr. Taft considers any "settlement" acceptable. "That's fine, Knox, that's fine." Whatever one may find admirable in Mr. Taft, his conceptions of political morality are low. THE BEAM-DILTZ TRAGEDY. This most unfortunate affair, detained at length upon our first page today, has several peculiar phases none of which, however, is entitled to the attention and praise generally, that the splendid conduct of all the people of Lima, under such exceptionally trying circumstances, is being freely given on all sides. They are a credit to the state, and the best in the country. They have proven themselves, in this crisis, ideal Americans in the very best sense of the word. With all good citizens of Ohio, we felicitate them! The excellent impression the editor of this paper was given last fall when he spoke in that pretty little city, during the national campaign, has been fully justified during the last two weeks, and we are as proud of Lima as all its good citizens ought to be, and doubtless are judging from the editorial tone of its daily press, both Republican or Democratic. To the Afro-Americans of that city, we say, continue to stand for law and order; continue the work so well begin to drive out of Lima every lawless member of the race who locates there; rid the city of those who have no care for themselves or the race and do not want to be good citizens; stand shoulder to shoulder with the best people of the city for its good and welfare in every way, and there will be no question as to the future. "SANE JUSTICE" will then always prevail. THE RACE NEEDS HELP, NOT TALK, MR. PRESIDENT! While President Taft was saying pleasant things last week to a mixed audience of 2,000 people, on commencement day at Howard university, Washington, D. C., his representatives, high government officials, were doing a most unpleasant and harmful thing to all of our people in the south, by compelling a Georgia railroad, that had a strike on its hands because it employed Afro-American firemen, to run its trains with white firemen, giving a reason that the United States mail, which had accumulated at a certain point on the railroad, "must be moved." What President Taft should have done to be sincere and consistent, was to have sent federal troops into Georgia to stop the delay of the mall like President Cleveland did some years ago in the case of that strike that centered in Cilicau and seriously affected, particularly, all of Illinois and adjoining states just as the Georgia strike has hurt that state and those bordering it particularly. Since his election the president has given us "soft-soap" talk on several occasions, and that is all. Much that he has said relative to the race and all he has done, particularly his un-American "southern policy," has been even more harmful than all he said before his inauguration. No president since the war not even Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, throughout their entire two terms each, were one-half as injurious to the race's progress, as Mr. Taft has proven during the first three months he has been the chief executive of this nation. Of what use is his talk when it is not backed by governmental as well as personal action? The race, in its present crucial period, needs help not "hot air." Talk has not and will not stop the south's nullifying, in many of its states, sections of the fundamental law of the land, the United States constitution. In plainer words, it does not stop its wholesale disfranchisement of nearly a million voters, black and white; nor does it stop the south's "Jim Crowing" interstate passengers, citizens; and robbing our people of other rights guaranteed in the federal constitution including those to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness even through the medium of industrial and other honorable labor. This the president, a jurist, ought to realize more fully than one not learned in the law. It seems to us that it is high time a delegation of leading, independent and able loyal members of the race, should call upon the president and make this fact clear to him. It is clear that he is not only harm. It is clear that he is not only out and is following, but that those Afro-Americans, (if any) with whom he has c Counseled are as wrong in their ideas as to the needs of the race, as far as the government is concerned, as President Taft is. It is so, far and away above the matter of jobs everywhere in this country. To these, too, we are entitled just as are all other potent factors of the Republican and Democratic parties, and in the same way, whether they are given or not. The thing, more than all others, that makes impotent practically all of our so-called "national" race organizations, is talk that is never backed with action. We call upon Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American Council, to act upon this suggestion of calling upon President Taft for the purpose stated and that only, and to name and lead a delegation of say a dozen of our very best men who are fearless at least politically, able and loyal and who are not job-hunters. The following from the Chicago Tribune of May 29 is so pertinent that we append it: The Future of the Negro. "President Taft said to the colored graduates of Howard university that 'never at any time has the future of the Negro as a race appeared more hopeful at the present day.' That is substantially true, and yet every now and then something happens which weakens the hopes of those who wish well to the Negro. The future of the American Negro depends largely upon the course of the southern whites. They can help him along or they can help him the number of those who would aid him in increasing, there are evidences of a determination to prevent his progress by hindering his making a living. "Consider what is going on in the progressive state of Georgia. Its great railroad system is tied up by a strike against Negro labor—by an effort to stop the employment of some black men as locomotive firemen. They are not trained to retain them. They can rise a night in the railroad service. All the engineers are whites. But the demand is made that the Negro firemen step down and out to make room for white men. The popular feeling along the line of the road is that a white engineer can not be forced to ride on a engine of white life! Most importantly there are many Georgians who do not wish the Negro should rise above the status of a field hand. "Complaints are heard continually from the south about the inefficiency of Negro labor. It cannot be other than inefficient if the attempts of the Negro to make himself of greater industrial enterprise are dislaced. Any kind of work the Negro can do well he should be encouraged to do. "The south clamors for white labor. It invites foreign immigration, and when the immigrants come it makes neons (slaves) out of some of them. Foreign governments feel constrained to advise emigrants not to go south. There are so many southern employers who have not learned how to treat them until there is a radical change the south makes, paratively little white labor and will have to denounce on Negro labor. "Therefore, if business principles ruled at the south there would be a general endeavor to make that labor as valuable as possible. There would be no driving of the Negro from occupations he is competent to fill. There would be no tieup of the Georgia railroad. When the south gives up utterly the vicious practice of obstructing the advancement of the Negro all doubts as to his future will disappear." The Tribune might have added that the white labor unions that draw a color-line on their Afro-American brethren in the south particularly, are "sowing to reap the whirlwind" in the not too distant future and are but making the already too rough road in the north all the harder for their white brethren to travel. Like the president they are going the wrong way and may learn this when it is too late. Skull Crushed with a Brick. Washington C. H. O—Wm. Anderson Post listened to its annual sermon Sunday at the Baptist church. The pastor preached an eloquent sermon. Decoration day, as is always the case here, was properly observed by the Post Ladies' Relief corps and by our citizens generally taking part in the parade and decorating the graves of our dead heroes. Had it not been for them, who helped preserve the union, it would not have been possible for Taft to have become president of the United States. The writer wonders if he thinks of this when he turns down our people and appoints ex-confederates to high offices in the government service. Shame! that the Re-confederates make such a man president of "the greatest nation in the world." A brick fell on the head of Doc. Brandon, a mason's tender, Saturday, crushing his skull. There is hope that he may live. It is a doubly sad case because his father, Giles Brandon, is at the point of death. James L. Thornton, one of our oldest citizens and a member of the Baptist church since its origin, has a long illness. The seriously sick of our older citizens are: Giles Brandon, Chester Cash. Mrs. J. J.

She claimed that the only means by which she succeeded in dissuading the man from killing her at that time was by promising to stick by him and be his friend as long as she lived. She told the boy that she had made this kind of a promise to the man, but that she did not intend to keep her promise. Vernon states that he helped him hide his Beam, but that he believed it was the latter. Beam and Mrs. Diltz had been together much during the past two years, since the date of her separation from her husband. She rented rooms in the Roberts building on East Market street, Beam being the real estate agent in charge of that property also. From the time that Beam began calling on the woman in his house, the murder, those who knew of his visits were of the opinion that he was paying more attention to the woman than that of simply collecting rentals for the property she occupied. The sheriff's search of "Attorney" Beam's office, on the latter's suggestion, disclosed an envelope containing $88 in currency, two insures, and a letter from the wife; also two or three letters from his wife; also two or three letters from "Estelle" postmarked "Keystone, Ind." One of these in a scribble made with lead pencil on women's note paper, under date. December 31, 1908, and bearing the date line Waren, Ind., but mailed at Keystone, is filled with endearing "dears," the enclosure of which she kept in the Beam. The inside address ("Estelle's") is given as Rural Route 2 The following are among the sentences contained in this letter: "I wish you could be with me. now dear.

Miss Cassie, Barm: My dear, sweet and loving wife, I am sorry for such news to come to you. Estelle M. Diltz, who has been my friend for two years, has worried me to death. I cannot stand it any longer, so now please forgive us and pray to God that we may be forgiven. I am not sure I will be done. I love her and she loves me. Jealousy is the cause of our trouble. She has annoyed me this week until I can no longer stand it. She has been loving and true, but so jealous. So you know where I have been at and where I am now. Both are both put away nice out of my insurance. Don't have any bitter feelings against me because she loved me and I love her. It can't be helped. Be friendly with her dear mother and folks. Pray that her daughter Eva may both be put away nice out of my insurance that she don't want; this is the request I will ask you toward her on the account of the loss of her mother, Nellie Godfred of Keystone, Ind. knows what a friend I have been to dear Estella, how I cared for her dur ing her sickness. I hope and trust we may both be put away nice out of my insurance and talk the matter over. Don't worry, dear, about us, all is well. You will find my insurance in the desk except the policy in the K. of P. lodge, it is over to the hall. I forget and left it over there. Dear wife, take care of the children love them, teach them to love you. I believe it will be best for you to sell out and move to the country with them. You be the judge. See that Estella has nice flowers for her grave also myself. Don't hate her. All pray that our sins are forgiven. I love her and she dear old folks, sisters and brothers good-by not to worry about me, all is well. Doc owes me $180, the money father let me have. He had $500, paid all but $180, that is yours. Tell him to be a man and give it to you for the benefit of you and the sweet little girl. Give it to her, if you like, for a lesson to people hereafter. She is the cause of this act. May God save us. Tell my friends to help you and cheer you. The check is in my desk that I paid Alice Bolinger for the city and farm property which is now in dispute. If it is agreeable, dear, have Estella and myself sit down and be happy, may rise before the Almighty God together. Goodbye to my friends and relations. Goodbye to dear folks, to sisters and brothers. Trust I will meet my dear old mother in heaven. Goodbye, goodbye, dear, sweet and loving wife. You have been a good woman and true wife. Goodbye to my two babies, love your mamma and obey her. All is right. JOHN W. BEAM. I will ask of the public, not to think of me and dear Estella. Pray that we are both saved. Her picture is in my desk. Have new one taken, give to my folks and friends. Relative to this letter, the Lima Daily News of May 25, said editori- ly: "If Beam does plead insanity, he has a good hypothetical question if his attorney will but read his death- note, and then ask 'is he or is he not'." KNEW NOTHING. Of Beam's Attentions to Mrs. Diltz, His Wife Says. In an interview with a Lima News representative last week Monday afternoon, Mrs. John Beam, wife of the alleged murdered, said: "I knew nothing of Mr. Beam's relations with the Diltz woman. He was not at home last night, and came home this morning about 6 o'clock, very excited. He said: "I suppose you know all, and I suppose you to kill myself." "He bade us all goodbye and kissed us many times. He then remarked that a letter at his office would explain everything to us, he remained in the house for fully an hour, until he saw the sheriff driving down the street. "They'll never get me alive," he remarked, and rushed out the back door, and behind the barn, firing two shots. As far as I know these were the only shots fired. I never saw this woman to my knowledge, and I knew nothing until the officers told me last night of the affair." ```markdown ``` The local daily press and leading citizens of this community have made much of the following and were apparently greatly pleased with it. There is no doubt, however, but what it had splendid influence upon the community. The Association's Statement. At a meeting of the representative colored citizens of Lima, they do hereby express their feelings on the sad misfortune that has arisen to blight the fair name of Lima, in the murder of Mrs. Estella Maud Diltz, by Attorney John Beam. The deed has our strongest denunciation, and the actor no sympathy. We wish the wheels of justice to move with all speed to a full punishment upon John Beam for the crime he has committed, and the prognosis of the officials in their action, and congratulate Lima upon their efficiency. The bereaved friends of the victim have our sympathy and our condolence, in our willingness to extend to the officials any assistance in carrying out justice. For the family of John Beam, we ask your sympathy. Mrs. Cassie Beam was reared in Piqua, by the Delaney family, Mr. Delaney, baggagemaster of the family, who was retired during his active life, was retired on a pension in his old age, Mrs. Beam is well educated, and highly respected by all who know her. prisoner, has been prevailed upon to close his office and has left the city. The Colored Peoples' Protective association, an organization formed last year to protect colored people, has done much good work and furnished evidence that has resulted in the conviction of colored criminals. Common cohabitation between white women and colored men is strongly denounced, and colored women) is strongly denounced by every loyal colored citizen, but owing to the evidence required by law, of actual seeing, has prevented arrests that are desired, but they will DENNIS DAY, President. W. D. HARRISON, Secretary. The following is an editorial from the Lima Daily News of May 26: SANE JUSTICE. The city of Lima is to be congratulated upon its saneness. In the horrors of its Sunday night murder and the disgusting disclosures of the death-note of the alleged murderer the people of Lima have remained sensible to the fact that the law is all-powerful. No flights to realms of viciousness have been made. The pose which husband longfight for the slayer of one of the city's women, might have in its midnight excitement, doubly stained the city's name, but with the passing of that night, no fears need be entertained of mob law. Residents of Lima are of the more cultured and of the more contained class. They know the state's attorney will leave no stone unturned in his effort to command a full penance for which he will be held, the they know color will in no manner influence a jury of 12 sworn men; they know the right of fair trial should be given one and all. Lima and Allen county demands but one thing of the state. It demands an early trial, without favor; it demands justice as the testimony and full limelight of the horrible affair may reveal; it demands an end to the condition which exists in every community following the crime of murder. There is yet a possibility that John W. Beam may have cause for his act, other than the lurid love tale written in the alleged death-note. His attorney says he has a defense; his friends say he is irresponsible because his recent injections have over-taxed his brain and brought it to a point where reason has fled. Let the courts, the jurors and the attorneys give to the prisoner his due; give to the state its due. The following is an editorial from the Lima Daily Republican-Gazette: ISNIT IT ABOUT LIMELITE We were told that a mother murder in Lima, the second in two months. The previous good record of the city has been sadly stained by these two bloody crimes. The first was a drunken brawl, the last a cold-blooded, premeditated murder. The second was a corpse murder of these crimes. In the first instance, two drunken men were allowed to roam the streets quarrelling when they should have been locked up; in the last a married man was allowed to visit a woman not held by the police, and the police winked the other eye. Had the police department done its duty neither of these crimes would have been committed and the city would not now have to blush for its reputation. Better for Beam, better for Lima, if he had succeeded in his attempt to end his ex- If reports are correct there is more than one couple living together in Lima, who have never been joined by church or state. Men who have wives and women who have children are knowingly permitted to seek the society of women not their wives, to the neglect of their homes and children. Such conditions nearly always end disastrously. The divorce court records tell a terrible story of broken vows and when a man gets excited is before the deed is done. The arrest and punishment of the perpetrator may satisfy the animal desire for vengeance but it does not restore the victim, nor heal the heartaches nor cleanse the city's records. But once the mayor put a little tone into his administration and give some recognition to the moral side of the city government? We think so. Leach:Clark Marriage. Leach Clark marriage Xenia, O.

DASTARDLY DEED COMMITTED Unknown White Man Drags Seven-Year-Old Girl Into a Woods and Mistreats Her. Zanesville, O.-While on her way home from Sunday school, Bessie Hill, 7 years, the daughter of Riley Hill, a miner living five miles east of New Lexington, Perry county, was attacked by an unknown white man, who dragged the tot into a woods and mistreated her. The little girl was accompanied by her six-year-old brother, and while passing through a stretch of woods, a half mile from their home, they were accosted by a stranger. Despite her protests the girl was picked up by the man and carried into the woods, while her brother ran on home and told his mother of the occurrence. The father was not at home but, accompanied by several neighbors, Mrs. Hill hurried to her daughter's aid. The child was met coming from the woods, while her assailant had disappeared. Later, a horse and buggy was stolen from a hitching rack in Crooksville, six miles from the scene of the crime, and it is suspected that the rig was used by the fugitive in making his escape. The victim is said to be in a precarious condition. FOILS HER ALLEGED CAPTOR Chicago Girl Jumps Out of a Man's Automobile and Is Seriously Injured. Chicago, Ill.—A leap from a swiftly moving automobile to escape from a man she alleges was taking her away from home, brought serious injuries to Miss Mary Kirschner, 22, of South Chicago. The girl, upon reviving, said that she had a slight acquaintance with the captor. She had met him at a dance two years ago, she said. As she was walking home he drove up in his machine and offered to carry her. She accepted, she said, but the man drove his car swiftly for the open country despite her pleas to be allowed to get out. Just outside of the town, after the car had passed several groups of men who say they heard the girl scream, Miss Kirschner jumped out. The man tried to hold her, but only succeeded in tripping her so that she fell on her face in the road. The car later became stranded in a sand road and the driver was captured.

Lawton of the Middlesex probate court told me a story the other day of an American minister who was spending his sabbatical year traveling abroad. Arriving in London, he made every effort to get an intimate view of the two branches of parliament in session. Of course no stranger is allowed on the floor of the house of lords, but the minister not knowing this, and with the usual amount of American push, tried to make his way in. There is a rule, however, that servants of the various lords may be admitted to speak to their ministers. Seeing the minister walking boldly in, the doorkeeper asked: "What lord?" repeated the astonished American, "the lord Jehovah!" For a moment the doorkeeper hesitated and then admitted him. Turning to an assistant standing near, he said: "He must mean one of those poor Scotch lairds."—Boston Record. CRIPPLED WITH SCIATICA Caused by Disordered Action of the Kidneys. Samuel D.

When, in ample time to avoid being buried, he showed signs of life, he was asked how it seemed to be dead. "Dead?" he exclaimed. "I wasn't dead. I knew all that was going on. And I knew I wasn't dead, too, because my feet were cold and I was hungry." "But how did that fact make you think you were still alive?" asked one of the curious. "Well, this way: I knew that if I were in heaven I wouldn't be hungry. And if I was in the other place my feet wouldn't be cold."

Attorney Heald will deliver the address, and extends a special invitation to our people to attend the meeting, will be admission charge, and no tickets, and everybody will be welcome. We urge all our people, especially those who are intelligent enough to appreciate such an address, to attend, who can possibly arrange to do so. Here is a sample of the dirty, lying "flings" the prejudiced Cleveland Daily News thrusts at our people, always with a seemingly overweening desire to lower our people in the estimation of the largest number of people, all of whom are unaware of the reason Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, did not go to England as per schedule Tuesday, is because he was chucked from the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse when it was discovered he is a Negro. According to the New York Times, a tenement house for J. Johnson, a postmaster person who made no showing of himself. Half an hour before the boat left, his stuff, which had been put aboard, was hurriedly carried out and the reservation canceled by 'phone. Then the boat press agent leaned up against a smokehouse and said, "I can't that enough to make you stop taking such a contemptible sheet? We hope so. We have thought for some time of addressing as many of our thoughtful and far-sighted people as we could reach, on the street manners of some of our young people. We are constantly mortified by their conduct in various ways, and people reside in large numbers, and on the street cars. Especially do we call attention to the very bad habit of congregating on the street corners. They block the sidewalks, impede traffic, and by their unseemly and comedian-like conduct cause much needless trouble and attract much attention. The more thoughtless of the group will indulge in loud and vulgar conversation, while others will engage in "skylarking," making "monkies" of themselves, and other amateur athletics. This is not only to the annoyance and injury of the neighboring business houses, but it adverbs of the people, passengers and pedestrians the neighborhood.

Though Finland has been regarded up to the present time as being extremely poor in iron ores, recent research has proved the existence of ore fields in South Finland (Nyland), and above all in the Ladoga lake district, which seem to be worth the expense of mining.

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN No Doubt In the Baggageman's Mind as to Contents of What Looked Like Coffin. In an emergency the manufacturer of Limburger cheese was forced to use strategy with a shipment. Ordinarily his product went in special cars, but in this instance no car was available and the order must be filled. Two hundred pounds of the fragrant comestible was put in a rough, oblong box, and taken to the railroad baggagemoon. Then the manufacturer bought a ticket for himself and the box, and entered the train. At the first stop he went ahead to the baggage car to see that there was no trouble. He stood by the box in a disconsolete attitude and shaded his eyes with his hand. The baggageman was sympathetic. "A relative?" he asked. "Yes," answered the manufacturer, "it is my brother." "Well," said the railroad man, philosophically, "you have one consolation. He's dead. all right."—San Francisco Argonaut. UNKIND FAKE. The Shortsighted Lion—Well, I never dreamed I should finish my days behind the bars of a cage. Is Tired of Praying. A little girl in St. Louis the other evening was going through the usual form of prayer: "God bless mamma, and papa and make me a good girl," and so on, when all at once she seemed to come to a decision. "Now that is the last time I am going to say that prayer," she said, very gravely, looking at her_mother. "You are older than I am and it is your place to ask for all those things and I don't see any use in two people's asking the same thing." Since then she has firmly refused to pray, insisting that it is her mother's place to ask God for blessings. Quite True. Marian, a little three-year-old, is very stubborn. One day, when she was fretful, her mother, wishing to engage her mind, attracted her attention to a cow in a vacant lot and asked what it was. Marian replied, "hoss" (horse) and stubbornly refused to give in. Her mother, wishing to get a correct answer without scolding, asked: "What eats grass besides a horse?" "More hoss," was the quick response—Delineator. The Young Dream. The light was soft in the conservatory. "But," said the young girl, nervously plucking to pieces a mauve orchid, "but there are microbes in kisses." The plashing of the fountain mingled with the low, deep voice of the youth. "My microbes," he murmured, passionately, "are so lonely!" You can never make a woman believe that she isn't saving money when she spends ten cents in car fare in order to obtain a dollar article for 98 cents.

Sticks in Cement Barrel Two carpenters employed on the house of I. G. Schmidt on East Fifteenth and East Ankney streets met with a singular accident the other afternoon, one being imbedded in a barrel of cement and the other left clinging to the ceiling when the scaffold upon which they were working gave way. They were putting up a girder when suddenly the scaffold dropped from under them. One carpenter shot downward into a barrel half filled with cement, where he stuck fast. The other carpenter was left hanging to the ceiling like a fly. Mr. Schmidt and Architect Otto Kleemann first relieved the man hanging to the ceiling, and then rescued his companion from the cement barrel. It was necessary to break the barrel to pieces to get man out—Portland Oregonian. To Enjoy the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the World and the Commendation of the most eminent physicians it was essential that the component parts of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna should be known to and approved by them; therefore, the California Fig Syrup Co. publishes a full statement with every package. The perfect purity and uniformity of product, which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character, are assured by the Company's original method of manufacture known to the Company only. The figs of California are used in the production of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna to promote the pleasant taste, but the medicinal principles are obtained from plants known to act most beneficially. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading druggists. He—There was nearly a bad fire at the theater.

One million women, representing cities, towns, villages and isolated rural settlements in every section of the country, are to-day enlisted in a campaign against tuberculosis, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In legislatures, in congress at Washington, in society gatherings, in churches and clubs, through speaking and writing—in every possible way, the women of the country are persistently fighting consumption. With an organization established in every state of the country, under the direction of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and with associated clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian islands, Porto Rico and the canal zone, the women of the country have entered a systematic crusade to carry the message of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis into every American home. As the Boy Saw the Lesson. Prof. Charles Zeublin of the University of Chicago was discussing at a dinner the greatest paintings of the world. "The legends that are beautiful and immortal," he said, "have in them turths that we all, according to our kind, take home. This is true in likeness of immortal works of art—pictures, poems, songs. For different people they have different messages, For instance, in my native Pendleton some of the mothers used to cut the children's hair. They did it with shears and a bowl. The operation was often painful, and the result was never elegant. "In Sunday school a Pendleton teacher once told her pupils the tragic story of Samson and Deliah. Then she turned to a little boy: "What do you learn, Joe," she said, 'from the Samson story?' "It don't never pay," piped Joe, 'to have a woman cut a feller's hair.'"—Cincinnati Enquirer. The Captain's Repartee. The captain of a trans-Atlantic liner, having become irritable as a result of some minor troubles in the ship's management and the unusually large number of ridiculous inquiries made by tourists, was heading for the "bridge" when a dapper young man halted him to inquire the cause of the commotion off the starboard side of the ship. Being on the port side, the captain politely replied, with some sarcasm, he was not certain, but thought it possible that a cat fish had just hated kittens.—What-to-Eat. OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something The front yard fence is a famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other times neighbor has something really good to offer. An old resident of Baird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once. He says: "Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and so weak I could scarcely walk. "One day I was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her I believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum a trial. I did not take her advice right away but tried a change of climate, which did not do me any good. Then I dropped coffee and took up Postum. "My improvement began immediately and I got better every day I used Postum. "My bowels became regular in two weeks, all my pains were gone. Now I am well and strong and can eat anything I want to without distress. All of this is due to my having quit coffee, and to the use of Postum regularly. "My son who was troubled with indigestion thought that if Postum helped me so, it might help him. It did, too, and he is now well and strong again. "We like Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and use it altogether in my family in place of coffee and all keep well." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in Pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human Simple But Insuperable Reason Why Subject Could Not Kneel Before His King. One fancies that few types of men can, from time to time, have afforded royalty more amusement of a quiet sort than provincial mayors of England. "From the Foreland to Penzance," by Clive Holland, contains the story of a mayor of Weymouth who, during one of the visits of King George to the town, was destined to afford "comic relief" to a ceremony of some importance. The occasion was the presentation of an address of welcome to the king, and we are told that the mayor, on approaching to present it, to the astonishment and dismay of all, instead of kneeling, as he had been told to do, seized the queen's hand to shake it as he might that of any other lady. Col. Gwynne, the master of the ceremonies, hurriedly told him of the faux pas, saying: "You should have kneeled, sir." "Sir, I cannot." was the reply. "Everybody does, sir," hotly asserted the colonel. The mayor grew red, and evidently much upset, exclaimed: "Confound it, sir, but I've got a wooden leg." History records that "a smile suffaced the face of her majesty, and the king outreight."—Youth's Companion. TORE HIS SKIN OFF In Shreds—itching Was Intense—Sleep Was Often Impossible. Cured by Cuticura in Three Weeks. "At first an eruption of small pustules commenced on my hands. These spread later to other parts of my body, and the itching at times was intense, so much so that I literally tore the skin off in shreds in seeking relief. The awful itching interfered with my work considerably, and also kept me awake nights. I tried several doctors and used a number of different ointments and lotions but received practically no benefit. Finally I settled down to the use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, with the result that in a few days all itching had ceased and in about three weeks' time all traces of my eruption had disappeared. I have had no trouble of this kind since. H. A. Krutskoff, 5714 Wabash Ave, Chicago, Ill., November 18 and 187, 1907. Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. TENDER, BUT NOT LOVING.

Northrup, went to the Gulf Coast Country of Texas, last December, to contract for a lot of cabbages. One cabbage crop of 20 acres, on a 41-acre farm, near Brownsville, looked so good to him that he bought the entire farm, including the crop. He paid $125 an acre, the man who sold it agreeing to bring the crop to maturity, gather and deliver it on the cars. The crop has been shipped; the yield averaged 24,000 pounds to the acre, and brought from $1.75 to $2.00 per hundred—over $8,000 for the crop. As Mr. Northrup only paid $5,125 for the farm, he now has the farm, his original capital, and a handsome bonus besides, Mr. Northrup was fortunate. It isn't often one finds a man who is willing to sell his farm, after he has it under cultivation, for the crop usually brings more than the land. But there is plenty of similar land in the Gulf Coast Country of Texas, not under cultivation, that you can buy for a trifle, compared with its earning capacity.
