Vol 4 No. 52 Railway men of all classes are watching with much interest the tests of the "1200 series" of engines of the Rock Island road, the largest running out of Chicago in the passenger service. Engine No. 1201 was given its first service test for power and speed last week. The patrons of the Rock Island's first excursion to Colorado occupied fourteen of the largest and heaviest coaches. This was enough for two trains to be pulled by the ordinary passenger engines of the day, considering the speed required. The big engine did all that was expected of it and more Between Chicago and Rock Island it pulled that train with ease on schedule time, and when called on for a little extra effort developed a speed of over 72 miles an hour. Engines of that class will haul all the special trains which will be used by the Rock Island in its series of Colorado excursions, at the rate of one fare plus $2.00 for the round trip. Three more excursions will be given, leaving here July 9, July 17 and Aug. 1. The departing time of the special trains will be 4.45 p m., but on the dates named excursion tickets will be honored on all regular trains. The special trains to be used are high class throughout. Through dining car service is provided and the run from Chicago to Colorado is made with only one night on the road. Excursion rates will be made to Colorado and Utah from all points on the line of the Rock Island between the Missouri River and Chicago.—Chicago Inter-Ocean Bishop Grant Buys a Home Bishop Abraham Grant of the Fourth episcopal district of the A M, E.

Wolecott of Colorado, addressed the delegates as follows: Since the first party convention in these United States, there was never one gathered together under such hopeful and auspicious circumstances as those which surround us today. United, proud of the achievements of the past four years, our country prosperous and happy, with nothing to regret and naught to make us ashamed, with a record spotless and clean, the Republican party stands facing the dawn, confident that the ticket it shall W. H. A NEGRO NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COLORED PEOPLE OF INDIANA and that in the declaration of its principles and its purposes, it will voice the aspirations and hopes of the vast majority of American freemen. We need "no omen but our country's cause;" yet there is significance in the fact that the convention is assembled in this historic and beautiful city, where we first assumed territorial responsibilities, when our fathers, a century and a quarter ago, promulgated the immortal Declaration of Independence. The spirit of justice and liberty that animated them found voice three-quarters of a century later in this same City of Brotherly Love, when Fremont led the forlorn hope of united patriots who laid here the foundations of our party and put human freedom as its corner-stone. It compelled our ears to listen to the cry of suffering across the shallow waters of the gulf two years ago. While we observe the law of nations and maintain that neutrality which we owe to a great and friendly government, the same spirit lives today in the genuine feeling of sympathy we cherish for the brave men now fighting for their homes in the veldots of South Africa. It prompts us in our determination to give to the dusky races of the Philippines the blessings of good government and republican institutions, and finds voice in our indignant protest against the violent suppression of the rights of the colored man in the south. That spirit will survive in the breasts of patriotic men as long as the nation endures; and the events of the past have taught us that it can find its fair and free and full expression only in the principles and policy of the Republican party. The first and pleasant duty of this great convention, as well as its instinctive impulse, is to send a message of affectionate greeting to our leader and our country's president, William McKinley. In all that pertains to our welfare in times of peace, his genius has directed us. He has shown an unerring mastery of the economic problems which confront us, and has guided us out of the slough of financial disaster, impaired credit and commercial stagnation, up to the high and safe ground of national prosperity and financial stability. Through the delicate and trying events of the late war he stood firm, courageous and conservative, and under his leadership we have emerged triumphant, our national honor unattarnished, our credit unassailed, and the equal devotion of every section of our common country to the welfare of the republic cemented forever. Never in the memory of this generation has there stood at the head of the government a truer patriot, a wiser or more courageous leader, or a better example of the highest type of American manhood. The victories of peace and the victories of war are alike inscribed upon his banner. Those of us whose pleasure and whose duty have called us from time to time into his presence, know how freely he has spent and been spent in his country's service; but the same vigorous manhood and clear and patriotic vision animate him as of old, and give us confidence and trust for the future of our republic, because his hand will guide us, and his genius direct. Four years ago the Republican party at St. Louis named a ticket which commanded the confidence and support of the American people. It bore the names of two eminent Americans, each endeared by years of loyal service to his country and his party. No whisper of personal attack intruded upon the national issues which determined the contest. Teere was a double safeguard for the country's welfare. Every true American knew that if in the dispensation of Providence our Leader should be called from his high place, there stood besides him a statesman devoted and staunch, in his hands the vast and weighty affairs of our country could be well and safely entrusted. Had Garret Augustus Hobart been spared to us until today, the work of the convention would have been limited to a cordial and unanimous indorsement of the leaders of '96. Dis alter visum—and when, a few months ago, our dear vice president left this sphere of usefulness for another, he was accompanied with the tears and sorrow of every lover of his country. He distinctly lifted up the high office of vice president to a nobler plane and to greater dignity and importance. He was always the trusted friend and adviser of our president, sage in counsel and wise in judgment; while to those of us whose great privilege it was for three years to see him daily in the senate of the United States, and to come under the influence of his calm and kindly presence, and to grow nearer to him and more endeared in friendship as the months rolled around, his loss is personal and deep. He is no longer with us in the body, but his influence still permeates the senate and will for all time make better and kindlier the NOT THIS YEAR.

"There is One great society alone on earth—The noble living and the noble dead." So many events of great portent have been crammed into the past months, that we are apt to judge and measure the work of this administration chiefly by the occurrences since the outbreak of the Spanish war. It is worth while for us to recall earlier days. The tariff measure under which we are now conducting business was preceded by an unusual volume of imports based upon common knowledge that certain duties were to be raised the bill met the popular demand that duties on many of the necessaries or life should be lowered and not raised advances in invention and new trade conditions made it unnecessary and unwise to revert to the higher tariff provisions of the law of 1890; the increases in the revenue provisions were When Mr. McKinley became president he took the reins of government after four years of Democratic administration. For the first time in more than a generation Democracy had full sway, with both houses of congress in party accord with the executive. No summary of the unmerciful disasters of those four years can convey an idea of a tithe of the ruin they wrought. In the four years, preceding Mr. Cleveland's administration we had paid $260,000,000 of the national debt; he added $320,000,000 to its burdens. He found a tariff act, bearing the name of his successor and our president, fitted to meet the requirements of our necessary expenditures, to furnish the needed protection to our farmers and manufacturers, and to insure the steady and remunerative employment of those who labor. Instead of permitting manufacture and commerce that repose and stability of law which are essential for working out economic conditions, he at once recommended violent and radical changes in revenue and tariff provisions, recommendations which his party in congress proceeded partially and disastrously to execute. The appalling result of his policy is still fresh in the memory of millions who suffered from it. In four years the country witnessed some 60,000 commercial failures, with liabilities aggregating more than $900,000,000. One hundred and seventy-seven railroads, with a mileage of 45,000 miles, or twice the circle of the globe, and with securities amounting to nearly 3,000,000,000, were unable to meet their interest charges and passed into the hands of receivers. More than 170 national banks closed their doors, with liabilities reaching $70,000,000; wool and all farm products that tariffs could affect, lost tens of millions in value; farm mortgages were foreclosed by thousands throughout the great westour agricultural exports shrunk in value; the balance of trade which had been in our favor turned ruminally against us; the national treasury was depleted of its gold reserve; our government bonds were sold to syndicates at far below their market value before or since, and our steadily declining revenues were insufficient to meet the necessary expenses of conducting the government. If capital alone had suffered, the loss would have been great, but not irremediable. Unfortunately those who rely upon their daily labor for their sustenance, and their families dependent upon them, constituting the great mass of the American people, were made to feel heaviest this burden of disaster. Nearly one-third of the laboring population of the United States were thrown out of employment and men by thousands, able and willing to labor, walked the highways of the land clamoring for work or food. Facing these difficulties, the president immediately upon his inauguration convened congress in extra session, and in a message of force and lucidity summarized the legislation essential to our national prosperity. The industrial history of the United States for the past four years is the tribute to the wisdom of his judgment. It is quickly epitomized. A Journal of Opinions. published in the interest of the Race. Correspondence Solicited Special Inducements to Agents Sample Copies on Application The tariff measure under which we are now conducting business was preceded by an unusual volume of importations based upon common knowledge that certain duties were to be raised; the bill met the popular demand that duties on many of the necessities of life should be lowered and not raised; advances in invention and new trade conditions made it unnecessary and unwise to revert to the higher tariff provisions of the law of 1890; the increases in the revenue provisions were slight. Yet, notwithstanding all these facts, tending to reduce income, the revenues from the Dingley bill marched steadily upwards, until soon our normal income exceeded our normal expenditure, and we passed from a condition of threatened insolvency to one of national solvency. This tells but a small fraction of the story. Under the wise provisions of our tariff laws and the encouragement afforded to capital by a renewal of public confidence, trade commenced to revive. The looms were no longer silent and the mills deserted; railway earnings increased, merchants and banks resumed business, labor found employment at fair wages, our exports increased, and the sunshine of hope again illuminated the land. The figures that illustrate the growing prosperity of the four years of Republican administration well nigh stagger belief. There isn't an idle mill in the country today. The mortgages on western farms have been paid by the tens of thousands, and our farmers are contented and prosperous. Our exports have reached enormous figures; for the last 12 months our exports of merchandise will exceed our imports by $550,-000,000. Our manufactured articles are finding a market all over the world and in constantly increasing volume. We are rapidly taking our place as one of the great creditor nations of the world. Above and beyond all, there is no man who labors with his hands, in all our broad domain, who can not find work, and the scale of wages was never in our history as high as now. We passed a national bankrupt act, a measure rendered essential by four years of Democratic rule, and under its beneficent provisions, thousands of honest men who were engulfed in disaster because of the blight of the Democratic policy, are again enabled to transact business and share the blessings of Republican prosperity. For half a century the Hawaiian islands, a menace to the long line of coast which skirts our Pacific slope, have been knocking for admission as part of our territory, and during that period the publicly expressed opinion of both political parties favored their annexation. Four times have they been occupied by European powers, and as often have we compelled their abandonment because it was essential that they should never be occupied by any foreign power. Finally, after years of misgovernment by native rulers, the gallant descendants of American merchants and missionaries made proffer again of these valuable possessions to this country, asking only to come under our flag and dominion. A Democratic president repudiated the offer, and sought to assist in restoring the former corrupt and oppressive ruler. It was left for this administration to make them a part of American territory. They are on the way to our islands in the southern seas; every instinct of self protection should have prompted our quick acceptance of their sovereignty, and yet they were acquired in spite of the bitter opposition of almost every Democrat in congress. During the last administration an off- A Great Advertising Medium Address THE RECORDER. Pacific railroads which would have brought us $42,000,000 out of the $70,000,000 due us in principal and interest. President McKinley, refusing to consider as binding the former offer, and acting within the authority of congress, collected every dollor of both principal and interest due from the Union Pacific company, and the principal of the debt due from the Kansas Pacific. We saved more than $20,000,000 over the offer of settlement made by Mr. Cleveland, and have collected all of the principal and most of the interest due us. Thus was this transaction closed, and has since been followed by a settlement of the debt of the Central Pacific railroad, calling for every dollar of principal and interest of the debt, amounting to $58,000,000. More than 35 years ago a Republican administration lent the credit of the country to the building of the great iron band that was to link together the east and the west, lent it not in times of peace, but when our country was in the throes of civil war. The area to be penetrated was then unsettled and unknown. It is now a great empire, rich, prosperous and happy, and the money of the people which made the highway possible, has been returned to them in overflowing measure. Whenever a Republican administration is in power there is constant talk of trusts. The reason isn't far to seek. Aggregations and combinations of capital find their only encouragement in prosperous days and widening commerce. Democratic administration in this country has universally meant industrial stagnation and commercial depression, when capital seeks a hiding place instead of investment. The Republican party has always maintained that any combination having for its purpose the cornering of a market or the raising or the controlling of the price of the necessaries of life was unlawful and should be punished, and a commission appointed by the president under act of congress has made careful investigation and will soon present a full report of the best method of dealing with the intricate question. We shall meet it in some efficient way and, as a party shall have the courage to protect every class of our citizens. There was never a better time to deal with it than now, when there isn't in this broad land a man willing to work who doesn't find employment at fair wages, and when the clamor of the agitator who seeks confiscation and not regulation, falls on dead ears and finds no response from the artisans in our busy workshops. The campaign four years ago was fought on the currency question. The Populistic Democracy insisted that the United States alone should embark on the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting the concurrence of any other nation. The Republican party insisted that the question of bimetallism was international, and that until it should be settled under agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, gold should continue to be the standard of value in these United States. Upon that issue we-triumphed. In accordance with the pledge of the party an honest effort was made to reach some international solution of the question. The effort failed of accomplishment. The mints of the countries of Europe were open for the coinage of gold alone. The vast discoveries of Alaska, South Africa, and the states of our own country, have furnished a steadily increasing volume of gold, and, with the recent European action, have demonstrated that the question is one calling for international action by all the great countries of the world, and, if ever entered into, must be by such concurrent action of the leading commercial nations as shall secure permanence of relative value to the two metals. Meanwhile we follow the path of safety. As we grow year by year more firmly established as a creditor nation, the question concerns us less and other countries more. No impairment of national credit can be contemplated by an honorable nation. We have made advances enough; this country can better afford than any other to enter upon the contest for commercial supremacy with gold as its standard, and for us the time has come to give fair notice to the world that we, too, make gold our standard and redeem our obligations in that metal. For 12 years the platforms of the party have declared in favor of the use of gold and silver as money. The logic of recent events, together with the attempt of the Democracy to drag down the question from its international character, to associate it with every vagary of Populism and Socialism, and to drive this country to an alliance with Mexico and China, as an exclusively silver using country, has impelled our people to this settlement of this problem and the recent action (Continued on page 4, column 2) Price 3 Cents WINS HIS CASE Dr. Grant H. Clay Receives a License from the State Dental Board The efforts of the State Dental Board to prevent Dr. Grant H. Clay, the well-known colored dentist of this city, from practicing his profession has proven unavailing, and the board at their last annual meeting issued the necessary license. The readers of The Recorder well remember the case instituted by the state board against Dr. Clay last November in which a fine was assessed in the police court' The attornies for Clay promptly filed an appeal, in which the constitutionality of the law was attacked. Judge Alford said that he would have sustained the motion to quash the information, and thus strike down the law, but that the law demands that if the lower courts entertain a reasonable doubt as to whether the Supreme Court would rule adversely on a question, the reasonable doubt on the part of such lower courts should be construed in favor of the validity of the law, The jury disagreed and Dr. Clay was discharged and a new trial ordered. If will be interesting to know that before this suit was filed Clay appeared before the examining board and asked the privilege of taking the examination, which request was refused, the board contending that Clay should graduate from a dental college. Dr. Clay has been a practicing dentist for fourteen years and stands well in this community, and to the race the efforts of the board seemed like a persecution. At the regular June meeting Dr. Clay again asked the board to give him an examination and this time was ordered to appear before the board. In discussing the case the president of the board stated that no prejudice existed, and that they would allow Clay to stand the examination with the regular class. The examination was rigid and thorough, and Dr. Clay made the second highest per cent in the entire class, and his work and papers received the special commendation of the examining board. The Recorder feels that the race has won a decided victory through the manly stand for personal and professional liberty taken by Dr. Clay. Delegates Returned The delegates returned with glad tiding of much joy from the A. M. E. Sunday School Convention of the Indianapolis District which convened at Noblesville last week. Every session proved to be of much benefit and success to not only the Sunday School but to the entire church and the race as well. The executive board is composed of honorable men and noble ladies, namely, Rev. W. H. Saunders, presiding elder; J. D. Kersey, Misses Estella Willis, Emma Smith and Maggie Moore. Papers were read by the following delegates: "The Power of Influence," Mrs. Estella Ford, of Logansport; "Opportunities of the Sunday School for the Education and Social life of the Young," Miss M. Smith, of Lafayette; "Missionary Work in the Funday School," Miss Siller, plainfield; "Bible Story aside from the Lesson," Miss Maggie Moore Rockville; The Needs of the Primary Department in the Sunday School," Miss Mamie Chavis, of Bethel, Indianapolis; "How Can the Teachers' Meeting be Made a Success?" Miss Mertle Parker, Frankford; "What are the Benefits Derived from the Teachers' Meeting?" Miss Estella Willis, sec'y; "Should the Officers and Teachers be more Spiritual in the Sunday School," Mrs. M. A. Tiester, Crawfordsville. The papers were all of best thought and good intellect and were deeply discussed by the delegates and representatives of the different schools. Among the many persons who so intelligently entered into the discussion we wish to mention Mrs. M. A. Teister, of Crawfordsville; and the Rev. Mrs. Johnson, of Frankford, who are noble women of the A. M. E. church and the race also. The convention was largely attended and the evening meetings were held in the court house in order to accommodate the people. We were honored by the presence of two native Africans, who are presiding elders in South Africa. The people of Noblesville showed hospitality to all who attended the convention. There was a grand reception given in the K. of P. hall to the delegates and visitors, which closed the convention.

And ye who persecute the Israelites had better look out. They are God's people, and according to the prophecy made thou- sands of years ago, they are disting- ‘uishable, they are Kept separate until the Lord takes them to their native land. Besides all this, you must remember that the most of the writers of this book were uneducated men. How can You account for the fact that when Thomas Bab'ngton Macaulay, stand- Ing in the House of Parliament in Lon. don, wanted to finish off a magnifi- cent sentence, he quoted from — the fishermen of Galilee, or, sitting in his house, wanting to finish one of his great paragraphs of history, he quoted the words of the fishermen of Galilee? Why is it that those uneducated men have more influence on morden times than all the scholars of antiquity? Be- cause they were divinely inspired, be- cause God stood back of them, They were not educated and scholarly, It was not by force of rhetoric that they triumphed, but today those humble fishermen, those uneducated fishermen wield more influence in all our modern cities than any 25 men living in this generation and day. They must have been inspired. There must have been a divine influence behind them and be- fore them and above them and within them. And so the infidels have been try- ing to pull away the miracles, pulling away at the blasted fig tree, at the turning of the water into wine, at the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Can you show me a Bible from which one of these miracles has been erased? How marvelously the old book sticks together! All the striking at these chapters only driving them in deeper until they are clinched on the other side with the hammers of eternity. And the book is going fo keep right on until the fires of the last day are kind- Ide. Some of them will begin on one side and some on the other side of the old book. They will not find a Dundle of loose manuscripts easily consumed by the fire.

He bore the title of Marquis during bis father's life by courtesy. “The peerage is divided Into dukes marquises, earls, viscounts and barons and the spirtual peerage into archbish ops and bishops. ‘The title duke is vers old. Hannibal was called Duke of Car thage. The Doge of Venice was a duke. A duke is addressed as ‘His Grace and Most Noble,’ and by the crown as ‘our righty trusty and right entirely beloved counsin.’ Marquises were formerly military leaders, whe guarded the limits or marches of the kingdom. Hence, they wer called lords of the marches, or marquises. ‘They are addressed as ‘Most Honorable,’ and by the crown as ‘our right trusty and entirely beloved cousin.’ An earl, the old Saxon yarl, or nobleman, is ad- dressed as ‘Right Hnoroable, and by the crown as ‘our right trusty and right well beloved counsin.’ Viscounts, or Vice-comtess, were sheriffs in earlier days. They ate addressed as ‘Right Honorable,’ and by the crown as ‘our right trusty and well-beloved counsin.’ Barons, orginally by tenure, then by writ and now by letters patent, are bearers or supporters—from the ety- mology of the word—and are styled “Right Honorable,’ and addressed by the crown as ‘our right trusty and well beloved.” The royal addresses sound like a game where you go on losing a word. den't they? The only title by tenure, I think, now existent among us is the earldom of Arundel, which the Duke of Norfolk holds by his tenure of Arundel Castle; but this was con: firmed by a special act of Parliament Baronets and knights are both ad- dressed as ‘Sir,’ but while the former is a title that holds with and descends in the family, the latter exists only during the life of the holder. Sir Wil- Ham Van Horne, who built the Cana- dian Pacific, is a knight."—New Yoyk Tribune, * ‘The Carrier Pigeon Remains a Puzzle. Somefrevision of accepted thesories in regard to carrier pigeons is appa- rently made advisable by the success of the birds released from French lin- ers In finding their way to shore over hundreds of miles of water. The an- cient idea that carrier pigeons are en- dowed with a. mysterious “instinct” for direction and locality, and_there- fore have no need of known landmarks by which to guide their flight, has been much weakened of recent years, if not cntierly abandoned, among scientific observers, and in its place has come’a belief that what may be called the ef- fective radius of each bird is the dis- tance from which, when high in air, it can see an object it has seen before. ‘This view of the matter is supported by the fact that pigeons must be regu- larly trained by flights of gradually in- creased length, and do not perform the most amazing feats until after they have acquired familiarity with a large expanse of territory: Yet one of six Dirds released from La ‘Touraine last Friday, when 300 miles off “shore, reached Its home, in Malden, Mass., in about 24 hours.

All the dis ‘patches point to a disturbed coniitioa in Pekin amounting to chaos, with the lives of all foreigners in imminent per il, The Boxers do not seem to be or. inary Chinese. At any rate they “mean business,” which the Chinese soldier in the war with Japam did not. ‘The soldier was a helpless coward. ‘The Boxer is a bleodthristy ruffian of the most ferocious description. ‘The peace of the world may hang on a slender thread. Russia has the advan- tage of position. She has a large ar- my on the frontier ready to enter the ‘empire, if, indeed, an army corps is not already on the way. Meanwhile, the little force sent to Pekin to protect the Wgations ‘seems’ to ee cut off and is hemmed in on all sides. The handful of soldiers and marines will do well if they save themselves, to say nothing of saving the legations. While the other powers are waiting for rein- forcements, Russia is Improving the opportunity, which perhaps was creat- edeby her intrigues. The break-up of China may be the signal for a destruc: tive war. The interests are apparently irreconcilable. When the plunge into war is made we may expect a world- wide convulsion. And the part that this country must play in the awful drama is absolutely undetermined. We can only hope that America may not be drawn into the maelstrom. THE WHEAT OUTLOOK, Ever since the necessity of plowing up a considerable portion of the land sown in winter wheat last fall became apparent more or less gloomy forecasts have been made concerning the amount of wheat that would eventti ally be harvested. From the govern. ment crop report issued on Monday last it fs now learned that the def ciency thus produced will be much greater than had been anticipated. Pre- vious reports had shown a marked di- munition in the productive field, but the June report brought the total fig- ures of the abandoned acreage up to 5,240,000, equal to 171-3 per cent. of the territory sown in wheat last fall. Not only was there this large redue- tion in the field, but after the plowed up land had been taken out of the computation the condition of the re- mainder was found to have fallen from 88.9 on the Ist of last May to 82.7 on the Ist of June. With an acreage re- maining that is far below the average of the fields of winter wheat usually harvested, and with a condition also below the average, the outlook for winter wheat does not appear very encouraging. THE GROTESQUE WILLIAM. ‘The German Emperor is always pic- turesque and egotistical. After the passage of the navy bill, which ensures that big navy he has dreamed of 59 many years, William received many congratulatory ‘telegrams. Answering the senate of Hamburg he wired: “You will perceive how grateful I am to the Almighty for this success. I hope the Almighty will lend me His further help to end the work begun so sue- cessfully.” There is something touch- ing in the Emperor's confident faith that the Almighty fs always mixing up in his affairs, He is absolutely sure that he is divinely commissioned to boss Europe. But at times he does not seem to be quite sure that he is not the senior partner in the alliance between the Ruler of the Universe and the Ho: henzollern, In the case of the navy Dill the association of God, who, say the Scriptures, Is love, with a schelue fo wholesale bloody murder, is espectally grotesque. Nobody but the present Emperor would think of it. TO USE THE.SUN’S HEAT, Dr. William Calver, of Washington, D. C., after experimenting for the past 25 years, has succeeded in bringing to such a state of perfection a method of using the heat of the sun in place of coal and wood that it is now proposed to make a practical test of it on a large scale. A surface of mirrors, compris. ing an area of about 260 square feet js composed of a number of small mir. rors, each about 3 by 6 inches, which are concave in shape, and placed in rows, the entire surface being so ar ranged that it Is concave both in it length and breadth. By this construc. tion the heat from the sun's rays i; gathered up and focused at one point, und a vessel of water placed in the fo cus of these rays can be made to bol fnriously in a short time. Dr, Calver has melted all the metals, except plati num in the same way. Jonathtin P.

Gen. Adna R. Chaffee Placed in Command—Minister Wu Ting Fang Protests. Washington special: An army, under command of Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, is to be hurried to China, and will march immediately on Pekin. Orders were issued Tuesday to Gen. Chaffee to take command of all the troops sent to China and proceed at once to the Chinese capital. The ninth infantry is ready to sail from Malla; the Sixth cavalry will accompany Gen. Chaffee. Preparations are being made to send still more troops. Minister Wu Ting Fang Tuesday made a second demand that American troops be kept out of China. The government refused to consider the proposition. Chee Foo, June 26.—The officers of the British first-class cruise Terrible assert that discord exists between the Russians and Anglo-Americans, and say they believe the Russians are planning to break the concert and take possession of Pekin independently. They assert that Admiral Seymour's command lacked unison, the foreigners sulking because they were under British leadership. They bitterly denounce the Russian general's conduct as uncivilized and barbarous, and charge that the slaughter of peaceful Chinamen at Taka has aroused the otherwise passive natives against the foreigners. Washington, June 26.—The navy department has received the following cablegram from Admiral Kempf: "Taku, June 25. "Secretary of Navy, Washington: SECURITY OF U.S. WASHINGTON "Relief force which left Tien-Tsin June 10 reported ten miles from Tien-Tsin surrounded. Force left Tien-Tsin 24th to render assistance. KEMPFF." Manila, June 27.—The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, with 300 marines from Cavite, has sailed for Nagasaki, where she will coal, and from which place she will go to Taku. Col. Robert I. Meade is in command of the marines. The United States transport Logan, with the Ninth infantry, and the United States gunboat Princeton will follow. NEW DANGER AHEAD. United States May Become Involved in the Russian Quarrel. Washington specialist: The officials here receive with regret and concern the reports from Chee Foo that discord exists between the Russians and the Anglo-Americans. Coming from the officials of the Terrible, it is considered as largely "sailor talk." At the same time it has been recognized from the outset that such a heterogeneous force gave opportunities for serious division, as it is well known that the sailors and soldiers of certain countries do not like to serve under British commanders, and that British sailors and soldiers have the same disinclination to take orders from a foreign superior. But it was hoped that the difficulties of the moment would lead all differences to be sunk in order that a common purpose might be executed against a common enemy. One of the chief dangers apprehended is that the foreigners may separate into factions, not only reducing their power against the Chinese, but opening up the more serious possibility of an international imbroglio between the forces of the foreign powers. Besides this, it is felt here that the Russian authorities, always sensitive, will quickly resent this imputation of barbarism and cruelties. The officials here accept these charges with great allowance, and they particularly express their displeasure at having the Americans brought into an apparent disruption with the forces of another power. Thus far the United States has acted concurrently with all the powers, with no one more than any other, and the authorities here will use every effort to prevent bickerings and backbitings. AMERICANS IN THE LEAD Together With the British They Were First in Tien Tain. Cheeto Foo, June 26—The Americans and British entered Tien-Tain, first silencing the guns of the arsenal and breaking through the Chinese lines. The foreigners were close behind. The Russians lost four killed and thirty wounded. The losses of the other nationalities were small. Admiral Seymour's force is about ten miles from Tien-Tsin. It is surrounded by Chinese troops and boxes and hampered by the presence of sick and wounded. It is reported that all foreigners were sent from Pekin with a weak Chinese guard, and it is assumed that they are with Admiral Seymour. One thousand Japanese are landing at Taku and 2,000 more are expected when a battalion of French is also due. The foreign admirals have appointed Capt. Wise, commander of the Monacacy, to be commandant at Tong Ku. RICH HAS NOT CONFESSED. Says He Will Not Turn State's Evidence Against Neely. Munice special: C. M. Rich, whose name has frequently been mentioned in connection with that of C. F. W. Neely in the Cuban postal scandal, in a letter written to Charles G. Yelin, of Richmond, denies that he ever had an intention of turning the evidence. In the letter he says: "All this stuff you have seen in the papers regarding my share in the Neely Culburn scandal is rot of the first and purest quality. I have never turned state's evidence, 'confessed' not anything approaching such action and was not either directly or indirectly interested in, or a gainer by, any stealing which may have been done in Cuba. I was Neely's assistant and was interested with him in a straight, legitimate business, which he deliberately undertook to beat me out of. I took the steps to protect myself that you would if you found a man robbing you of your house. I have been denied in any way every opportunity to defend myself, and for two weeks was not allowed to talk to my attorney. So you see that my chance to clear myself has not been the best. When the case comes to trial my position will be neither apology nor an explanation and all that I ask is that my friends await the result with patience, for I have done nothing of which any honest man need be ashamed and such I will prove." DYING MURDERER KILLED. Benten to Death With Clubs by His Enraged Neighbors. Marshall, Mo., special: William Woodward, a farmer, shot and killed his stepdaughter and in turn was beaten to death by his neighbors this afternoon. After shooting his stepdaughter Woodward shot himself through the breast with his Winchester, inflicting what would have proved a fatal wound, but the man was still living when fifteen men entered his house and with clubs beat his head to a jelly. Woodward shot his stepdaughter because she caused his arrest. BOER GUERRILLAS MAKING LIFE A BURDEN TO BRITISH GENERALS Small Parties Harrass Large Columns, Cut Off Scouts and Make a Bewildering Show of Force. London, June 27.—3:20 a. m.—The Boer commandoes in the eastern part of the Orange River Colony appear to have been broken up by their leaders for the time into small parties that harass large columns of the British, incessantly cutting off scouts, sniping pickets, making a show of force here and there, and bewildering the slow-moving bodies. Commandant Christian De Wet, General Steyn's principal commander, is the genius of these guerilla operations. He is the hero on the Boer side in these last days of hostilities. Lord Roberts's columns are steadily contracting the circle of their advance. The war office has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated Pretoria residency, June 26: "Sir Charles Warren reports that the rebellion in Cape Colony, north of the Orange river, is now over. The last formidable body, under Commandant De Villiers, surrendered on June 20, consisting of about 220 men, 280 horses, 18 wagons, 20 rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. General Baden-Powell reports that pacification is going on satisfactorily in the Rustenberg district." Transvaal officials who were interviewed at Machadodorp by a correspondent of the Daily Express, asserted an intention to hold out to the last. President Kruger will probably retire to Waterval Order or Pelspruit. His physician thinks his condition of health will not allow him to go to the high veldt. The British prisoners at Nooit Godacht are now more comfortable. Large quantities of food and blankets have been forwarded to them, and their enclosure is lighted by electricity. Pretoria telegrams say that supplies of warm clothing are reaching Lord Roberts's infantry, who had been ragged and had suffered from the cold. Commandant General Botha is uncommonly active east of Pretoria. Large quantities of bar gold received by merchants in the western part of the Transvaal from President Kruger, ostensibly in payment of requisitioned goods, have been seized by the British. If the genuineness of the accounts can be proved the gold will probably be renamed. The official report of the capture of a convoy of fifty wagons, escorted by Highlanders, between Rhenoster and Heilbron, June 4, was only received to-day. Lord Roberts reports that the convoy was surrounded, and sent messengers to the nearest posts, asking for assistance, but reinforcements were unable to reach the convoy and 150 Highlanders, in reply to a flag of truce from Gen. Christian De Wet, surrendered during the morning of June 24. TO REPEAL GOEBEL LAW Governor May Call Extra Session of the Kentucky Legislature. Lexington, Ky., special; Governor Beckham, ex-Senator C. J. Bromston, Judge Jere Morton, Judge Watts Parker, John R. Allen, candidate for Congress in the Seventh district; Sheriff H. M. Bosworth, Howard McCorkle and Willa Ville were entertained by Gen. W. H. Gentry Tuesday night. The loving cup was passed. The meeting took a political turn. The result, it is authoritatively stated, will be the calling of an extra session of the Legislature by Governor Beckham to repeal the Goebel election law. It is said the advocates of the anti-Goebel wing, of which Bronson is the leader, were satisfied Governor Beckham had been made to believe that the continuance of the law would defeat the party in Kentucky. It is thought that Governor Beckham will not wait for the Democratic convention in July to act. TRANSFER OF SILVER. Seventy-one Million Dollars Taken From the One Mint to the New. Philadelphia, Pa., special: Seventy-one million silver dollars have been transferred from the old mint on Chestnut street to the new building at Sixteenth and Spring Garden streets. The dollars were coined as security for the last issue of silver certificates. Every precaution was taken for the safety of the money. One thousand dollars was placed in a single canvas bag, and the bag was labelled with the number of the counter. The bag was then placed in a small pine box and the box also numbered. Express wagons were utilized in carrying the money from the old mint to the new, one hundred boxes being placed in a wagon. Two armed guards accompanied each wagon. The silver vaults at the new mint have a capacity of 110,000,000 silver dollars. EXCURSIONISTS MANGLED. Six Killed, One Missing and Thirty-Four Malted and Cut. Green Bay, Wis., special: A northbound passenger train on the Chicago & Northwestern road, loaded with excursionists bound for the saengerfest in this city, collided at 10:15 o'clock Sunday morning with a freight train at Depere, five miles south of here. Eight persons were killed, one is missing and fifty-three were injured. Of the injured about thirty are in a serious condition and several may not recover. THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA SOUTH AFRICA. SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION BY LORD ROBERTS. Asserted That Kruger's Sole Aim Now is to Hold Out Until American Election. London, June 25.-The Transvaal military incidents are summed up officially by Lord Roberts in the following message to the war office: "Pretoria, 11:30 a. m.—Buller reached Standerdon on June 22. He found a good deal of rolling stock. All the Dutch residents had left the town. The British prisoners captured since our occupation of Pretoria have been taken to Machadorp. Ian Hamilton occupied Heidelberg on Saturday. The enemy fled, pursued by our mounted men six or seven miles. The previous day Broadwood's cavalry had a skirmish with the enemy, dispersing them completely and capturing six. Hunter's advance brigade reached Johannesburg toward Heidelberg June 22. The enemy attacked our posts at Honingspruit and before reinforcements arrived from Kroonstad they had burned three culverts. These had all been repaired by this afternoon." An Associated Press dispatch from Cape Town, dated yesterday, says: "The British casualties at Honingspruit were thirty-seven killed and wounded." Sir Redvers Builer in a dispatch to the war office says that among the prisoners taken to Machadodorp are Lords Antrim and Ennismore, both of whom are in good health. Lord Longford was left at Reitz, severely wounded. The force now available to President Kruger is officially estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000. The Standerton correspondent asserts that his sole idea is to hold out until after the American Presidential election. Mr. Kruger is reported to have issued a proclamation on June 17, announcing that the Russians had declared war upon the Japanese and that Great Britain must help Japan. Lord Roberts and Commandant General Louis Botha are still exchanging letters. Two hundred rebels have surrendered to General Warren at Blinkfonte. The communications of Seneka with Winberg, the nearest supply point, have been temporarily interrupted. General Clements is at Seneka. A convoy seeking to reach him on Friday was driven back. BRYAN'S VIEWS. An Earnest Protest Against American Policy in the Philippines. Knoxville, Tenn., special: The Sentinel prints a letter addressed to it by Col. W. J. Bryan, in which he expresses his views on the relations of the Filipinos and the Cubans and their rights. It follows; "I believe that the rights of the Filipinos and the rights of the Cubans are identical. The recognition of the rights of the Cubans by resolution did not create those rights. They existed before. If the Filipinos have a right to their independence, the fact that they fought for it does not justify us in carrying on a war of conquest. It is no more humiliating for a nation to recognize the rights of an opponent than for an individual to do so. We would have had the same trouble in Cuba if we had treated the Cubans the same as we have the Filipinos. We would have no trouble in the Philippine islands if we had treated the Filipinos as we have treated the Cubans. If we are going to give the Filipinos their independence we ought to say at once, and thus avoid further bloodshed. "How can we justify the sacrifice of American soldiers and the killing of Filipinos merely to show that we can whip them? "The Bacon resolution received the support of nearly every Democratic Senator, and was adopted by a Democratic caucus in the House. This resolution promised independence. If it had been accepted and acted upon when it was first introduced there would have been no Filipino war. If it had been adopted at the time the vote was taken it would have stopped the war." CONVICT DID THE WORK. Opened the Doors of Kentucky's Treasure Vault in Thirty Minutes. Frankfort, Ky., special: The inside steel doors to the cash and bond boxes in the State Treasurer's vault, the combination of which was lost when the new State Treasurer took charge of the office, were opened Saturday. Frankfort machinists have been at work on the doors for three days and made no progress. Friday a message was sent to the penitentiary for the loan of a convict that could blow open a safe. Frank Simmons, who was sent up from Floyd county for safe blowing, was selected by the prison authorities as the best man to do the job, and he justified their confidence by opening the safe in thirty minutes. PROCLAMATION OF PARDON. Text of the Tender Made to the Filipino Rebels in Arms. Washington special: The War Department has made public the following notice of amnesty which was issued by Gen. MacArthur at Manila: "Manila, June 21.—By direction of the President of the United States, the undersigned announces amnesty, with complete immunity for the past and absolute liberty of action for the future, to all persons who are now or at any time since Feb. 4, 1899, have been in insurrection against the United States in either a military or a civil capacity, and who shall, within a period of ninety days from the date hereof, formally renounce all connection with such insurrection and subscribe to a declaration acknowledging and accepting the sovereignty and authority of the United States in and over the Philippine islands. The privilege herewith published is extended to all concerned without any reservation whatever, excepting that persons who have violated the rules of war during the period of active hostilities are not embraced within the scope of this amnesty. "All who desire to take advantage of the terms herewith set forth are requested to present themselves to the commanding officers of the American troops at the most convenient station, who will receive them with due consideration ac- cording to rank, make provision for their immediate wants, prepare the necessary records and thereafter permit each individual to proceed to any part of the archipelago according to his own wishes, for which purposes the United States will furnish such transportation as may be available, either by railway, steamboat or wagon. Prominent persons who may desire to confer with the military governor or with the board of American commissioners will be permitted to visit Manila and will, as far as possible, be provided with transportation for that purpose. "In order to mitigate as much as possible consequences resulting from the various disturbances which, since 1888, have succeeded each other so rapidly, and to provide in some measure for destitute soldiers during the transitory period which must inevitably succeed a general peace, the military authorities of the United States will pay 30 pesos to each man who presents a rifle in good condition. ARTHUR MACARTHUR. "Major General, U. S. V., Military Governor." AMERICAN BLOOD. AMERICAN BLOOD. WALLER'S MARINES AMBUSHED NEAR TIEN-TSIN. Four Men Killed and Seven Wounded—Admiral Remey Ordered to Proceed to Taku. Washington special: The Navy Department Sunday afternoon made public the following telegram from Admiral Kempff, dated Che-Foo, June 24: "In ambuscade near Tien-Tsin, on the 21st, four of Waller's command were killed and seven wounded. Names will be furnished as soon as received. Force of 2,000 going to relieve Tien-Tsin to day." This dispatch, giving the first definite news of the shedding of American blood on Chinese soil, came early in the morning and was turned over to Secretary Long as soon as he arrived at the department. With Admiral Crowninshield, the Secretary carried the dispatch to the White House, where, on the President's return from church, it was laid before him. The determination thereupon was reached to order Admiral Remey, in command of the Asiatic squadron, from Manila to Taku, on board of the armored cruiser Brooklyn. The Secretary and Admiral Crowninshield returned to the Navy Department, where the necessary orders were dispatched to Admiral Remey. The effect of this transfer is to make Taku the headquarters of the Asiatic squadron. The Brooklyn is expected to sail at once, as the orders sent contemplate getting the admiral on the scene at the earliest moment. The advantage of this, it was officially stated, is not so much in adding the strength of the Brooklyn to the fleet already there, as the fleet is considered by Secretary Long to be quite adequate, as it is in allowing the authorities here to deal directly with the situation in China instead of through the circultious communications by way of Manila. The Secretary of the Navy also ordered Admiral Remey to tender to General MacArthur conveyance for any troops which the Brooklyn can carry. If the Brooklyn starts as expected, it will take her fully a week to reach Taku, as the trip is two thousand miles, and typhoons are raging. The determination to carry some of General MacArthur's troops on a flagship shows the emergency of the situation. The troops are believed to be ready to move, but some delay may be caused in getting on board sufficient supplies for a large body of men for a week. TRAGEDY IN KANSAS. Jealous Girl Cuts a Bride's Throat and Gashes Her Own. Eldorado, Kan., special: The neighbors of Mrs. Olin Castle heard screams at her home Saturday. They rushed there and found Mrs. Castle, a bride of one week, lying on the floor with her throat cut. Bending over her was Miss Jessie Morrison, who had a gash in her throat and was cut in several other places. A razor was lying on the floor. Mrs. Castle wrote a dying statement saying that Miss Morrison came to her home, accused her of writing a certain letter, and then attacked her with a razor, afterwards cutting her own throat. Miss Morrison says Mrs. Castle called her in, attacked her with a razor and that she cut Mrs. Castle's throat in self-defense. Mrs. Castle is believed to be dying. Miss Morrison will recover. Jealousy, it is said, is at the bottom of the affair. LI HUNG CHANG INTERVIEWED. He Will Go to Pekin and Try to Make Peace With the Powers. Hong Kong, June 22—Li Hung Chang, who was interviewed in Canton yesterday, said he would leave for Pekin on June 27 in obedience to an order from the Empress to suppress the Boxers and to make peace with the powers. He indorsed the opinion that he was the only man in China capable of coping with the situation. He said he believed the Boxers to be "rabble led away by fanaticism and anti-Christian feeling," but he also declared that the native Christian leaders were much to blame, inasmuch as they engendered litigation in the native courts. He asserted that he did not regard the Boxers as a political society and that in his opinion the Empress had been misled and misinformed. CROWDING THE TURK. The United States Government Makes Demands on the Porte. Constantinople cable: Lloyd C. Griscom. United States charge d'affaires. Sunday presented a fresh note to the Ottoman government insisting upon an immediate reply to the demand of the United States for a settlement of the indemnity in connection with the losses of Americans at the time of the Armenian massacres. Although vigorously phrased, the note is not an ultimatum. It is said, however, to have been a disagreeable surprise to the Porte, testifying as it does to the intention of the United States government to pursue this matter of indemnity to the end. INCREASED PERIL. INTERNATIONAL ARMY AND FOREIGNERS IN DANGER. At Least 100,000 Foreign Troops Needed to Rescue Legations at Pekin. London, June 25, 3 a. m.—The position of the international forces in the section of northern China where 10,000 men are striving to keep a footing and to succor the legations in Pekin appears to increase in peril with every fresh dispatch. Pekin has not been heard from direct for fourteen days. The last dispatch was one imploring aid. Admiral Seymour's column of 2,000 was last heard from twelve days ago. At that time it was surrounded midway between Pekin and Tien-Tsin. Possibly now it has reached Pekin. The 3,000 internationalists at Tien-Tsin were hard pressed and fighting for their lives on Thursday, and a relieving force of less than a thousand had been beaten back to Taku Friday. Observers on the spot think that 100,000 men would not be too many to grasp China firmly. The Admiralty has received the following from the British rear admiral at Taku: "Cha-Foo, June 23.--Only one runner has got through from Tien Tsin for five days. No information could be obtained except that the foreign settlement had been almost entirely destroyed and that our people were fighting hard. News is received as this telegram is dispatched that an attempt to relieve Tien-Tsin on June 22 was repulsed with some loss." The telegram also said: "The allied admirals are working in perfect accord, with the Russian vice admiral as senior officer." THE CUBAN FRAUDS THE CUBAN FRAUDS INSPECTOR RATHBONE SEEMS TO BE IN THE TOILS. Mr. Cowan of Muncle Also Implicated and His Extradition Will be Asked For—Rich Turna State's Evidence. Havana cable: It is probable that Estes G. Rathbone, the suspended director of posts, will be arrested within the next few days. The postal inspectors assert that they have evidence implicating him beyond any question. Mr. Rathbone's replies in the course of the examination Thursday before Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow and the inspectors was regarded as very unsatisfactory, and more than establishing the suspicions that have been forced upon the investigators during the last few weeks, until proof has accumulated to such an extent as to compel them to look upon Mr. Rathbone as guilty. It is also understood that the authorities will ask for the extradition of the head of the printing firm at Muncy, which sent bills on billheads other than those of the firm-billheads of a purely fictitious firm. The defendants will be Neely, Rathbone, Reeves, Rich and the Muncie printer. Rich will be accepted as state's evidence. At the fiscal office it was said that the custom house fraud cases would come up on June 25, and would be vigorously pushed. It is understood that the fiscal believes that with two exceptions he can secure conviction. Mr. Bristow has virtually completed the work of investigation. TIEN TSIN ATTACKED THE AMERICAN CONSULATE DESTROYED. Relief Party Enroute - Official Dispatch From Admiral Kempff-Minister Wu's Information. Washington special: Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett received a cable message Thursday afternoon from Admiral Kempff, dated Che Foo, June 21, saying that Tien Tsin is being bombarded and that the American consulate as well as much of the foreign concessions, are being destroyed. A relief party is en route to Tien Tsin, including 130 American marines under Major Waller. Mr. Wu, the Chinese minister, called upon Secretary Hay at the State Department Thursday and informed him that he had received a dispatch from the viceroy'of the three great provinces of the Yang Tse Klaing saying that he felt himself perfectly able to keep the peace in his province and insure the safety of the foreign missionaries, and that in conjunction with his colleague, Viceroy Hun-Nan, he is able to answer for the preservation of peace and order in all the great southern provinces of China. IGNORANT PERUVIANS They Attribute the Warning of a Convent to Activity of Missionaries. Lima, Peru, cable: 'The ignorant peasantry of the province of Huancayo and other parts of the interior are greatly excited over the recent destruction by fire, evidently of incendiary origin, of the celebrated convent of Ocopa. This fire and another they attribute to the efforts and propaganda of the American missionaries in that section. It was thought that the presence of Mr. Wood, the chief missionary, would be necessary, but a large and representative meeting was held in the town, protesting against attributing the destruction of the convent to missionaries and adopted a resolution to request the prefect not to send to Jauja Dr. Wood's pupil, Angel Chavez Patino, as his life would be endangered and as his presence might cause others to fall victims to the popular excitement. Gen. Wheeler's Assignment: "Fighting Joe" Wheeler has been assigned to the command of the Department of the Lakes, with headquarters at Chicago. He volunteered for service in China, but was given this command instead and will remain in Chicago until his retirement in the fall. Killed by a Cyclone. Guthrie, O. T., special: An unconfirmed report says a terrible cyclone passed over Beaver county Tuesday night, killing two men, injuring three and destroying much property. SOUTH DAKOTA EXPANSION. Nebraska Territory Added by Cutting a Bend of the Missouri. Jackson, Neb., special: An armed band of thirty-two men from South Dakota has cut a channel through Rinlinger's Neck, or, as it is known on the map, Bruigher's bend, in the Missouri river. There is great excitement here over the matter. The bend is some twenty-five miles around, and not more than a quarter of a mile across its neck. Residents of the bottoms along the river have always contended that if a channel could be cut through the neck and the river straightened it would prevent the recurrence of the inundation of their lands. Another result of cutting through the neck of the bend is to throw thousands of acres of excellent farming land into South Dakota, which had previously been a part of Nebraska. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. Great Railway Disaster in Georgia—Thirty- Five People Killed. Atlanta, Ga., special; A passenger train on the Macon branch of the Southern railway ran into a washout one and a half miles north of McDonough, Ga., Saturday and was wrecked. The wreck caught fire and the entire train, with the exception of the sleeper, was destroyed. Every person on the train, except the occupants of the Pullman car perished. Not a member of the train crew escaped. Thirty-five people in all were killed. The Deadly Cyclone. Guthrie, O. T., special: A cyclone passed over Beaver county, formerly known as No Man's Land, Saturday night. Henry Bardwell, Steve Bird and Abe Weightman were killed and William Hamberger and Paul Rhodes fatally injured. The storm swept the country for sixty miles. Thousands of cattle were stamped and many killed and injured. Several houses were destroyed. The home of George Nebb, a ranchman, was carried 200 yards and several ranchmen who were taking refuge in the house were injured. Rathbone Removed Washington special: The Postmaster General has issued an order removing from office Estes G. Rathbone, who has been suspended by a former order from the position of director general of posts of Cuba, and detailing Martin C. Fosnes, an inspector in the postal service, to perform the duties of director general of posts until further orders. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow has been relieved from further work in Cuba and has sailed for home. Kentucky Mountaineers Affected. Louisville special: The troubles in China are beginning to affect the remote districts of the Kentucky mountains in the ginseng trade, by which hundreds of people make a living. Ever since the boxers began their outrages the price of ginseng has been dropping. A month ago it was quoted at $3.75, to-day it was down to $2.25 a pound for the Kentucky product, the lowest price in four years. Wrecked by a Tornado. Birmingham, Ala., special: A cyclone, which originated near Blossburg, Jefferson county, Tuesday, swept the country for fifteen miles westward into Walker county. Its path was a quarter mile wide and the greatest damage resulted around Democrat, where a score of houses were wrecked and a number of people injured, but none seriously. Crops were ruined and hundreds of trees uprooted. Mother Slays Her Son Chicago special: Mrs. Myra Conkling, a widow, took the life of her 9-year-old son, John, at their home Tuesday, and then attempted to end her own life. She turned on the gas in the room in which her boy slept and lay down on the bed near him to die. Before the deadly vapor had taken her life the neighbors found her. She was taken out into the air and revived. Her son was dead. Roberts Sentenced Salt Lake, Utah, special: In the case of B. H. Roberts, found guilty of unlawful cohabitation, the judgment of the court was that he pay a fine in the sum of $150 or in lieu thereof that he be imprisoned in the county jail for a period of 150 days. A thirty days' stay was granted that the defendant might file a bill of exceptions. War on the Yankle Oritz, Mexico, special: Gen. Torres has divided his forces into two parts and proposes to march against a new stronghold of the Yaquis, located about fifty miles north of Torin. One army of 5,200 men is east of the Yaquil river and the other army, numbering about 3,000, is on the west side. The Indians have become aggressive again. Negro Hanged and Shot O'Brien, Fla., special: Jock Thomas, a negro, who attempted an assault on Mrs. Keene, a widow living in Suwano county, Friday night, was taken from the sheriff by a mob near Live Oak Tuesday, hanged to a tree and riddled with bullets. He made a confession. Chicago strike Ended. Chicago special: At 2:15 o'clock Wednesday morning the Bricklayers' Union withdrew from the Building Trades Council. It is said this marks the practical ending of the strike that has been in progress for months, tying up building operations in Chicago and keeping many thousands of men idle. INDIANA POOLS.

The dignity attached to his high episcopal office together with his sterling worth will make Bishop Grant a power for good in this community. It is safe assume that the national convention of the Negro Party will not be he'd south of the Mason and Dixon line. Continued from first page of congress has eliminated the danger which its further agitation menaced. The provisions of the bill secure to the people a needed increase in the volume of the currency, prevent the future depletion of the gold in the treasury, and encourage a more extended use of our bonds by the national banks of the country. But, above all, the success attending its passage has demonstrated that our own people and the nations of Europe have faith in the permanence of our institutions and our financial integrity. Our debt is funded at 2 per cent per annum, and millions of our interest charge saved annually. The world has never witnessed so triumphant a financial success as has followed the passage of the currency law, and our 2 per cent bonds, held the world over, already command a substantial premium. Through the policy of the Republican party and the wisdom of a Republican administration, we have not only made stable and permanent our financial credit, at home and abroad, are utilizing more silver as money than ever before in our history, but we have left the Populistic Democracy a dead issue they can never again galvanize into life, and compelled them to seek to create new issues growing out of a war which they were most eager to precipitate. May I, a western man, add another word? The passage of this bill, which received the vote of every western Republican in congress, marked the termination, forever final, of any sort of difference between Republicans of the east and of the west, growing out of currency problems. Even if the stern logic of events had not convinced us, our deep and abiding loyalty to the principles of the party, our belief that the judgment of its majority should govern, would lead us to abandon further contention. And the thousands of Republicans in the west who left us four years ago are returning home. The men of the far west are bone of your bone, and flesh of your flesh. The sun that shines on you blesses them also, and the shadow before your doors darkens their homes as well. They are naturally expansionists in the western plains and mountains, and when they see a great political party attacking the integrity of the nation, and lending encouragement to insurrectionists who are shooting down our soldiers and resisting the authority of the government of the United States, all other questions fade and are forgotten and they should find themselves standing shoulder to shoulder in the ranks of the Republican party, keeping step, always, "to the music of the Union." Before the expiration of Mr. McKinley's first term, we shall have issued a law relieving certain articles from a portion at least of the burdens they now carry because of the war revenue act, and meanwhile we have, out of the surplus revenues, already paid and called in for cancellation $43,000,000 of outstanding bonds. The coming winter will see enacted into law, legislation which shall revivify and upbuild our ocean merchant marine, and enable us to compete on fair terms with the subsidized ships of foreign nations which now so largely monopolize the carriage of American goods. And above all, we small, having then before us the report of the able commission now ascertaining the most favorable route, pass a law under which we shall build and own and operate as property of the United States, under exclusive American dominion and control, a ship canal connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific. Through it in time of peace the commerce of the world shall pass. If we shall be unhappily engaged in war, the canal shall carry our warships and shall exclude those of the enemy, and under conditions which shall violate no treaty stipulations. This is the brief account of our stewardship for four years. During a portion of that period we were involved in a war that for a time paralyzed business and commerce, and would have taxed heavily the resources and credit of any other country than ours; and for the past year or more we have been employing an army of some 50,000 men in suppressing an insurrection against our authority 8,000 miles away. No industry has felt the strain of these extraordinary expenses, nor have they affected the general sum of our prosperity. More than that, the conditions resulting from the legislation of the past four years have obliterated every issue that was raised during the last campaign. The Democracy, having therefore to find some rallying cry, seek it in the results of our late war with Spain, and upon that question, as upon all others we stand ready to meet them in the open. During the weeks and months preceding the outbreak of hostilities with Spain, the president of the United States, who knew by personal experience on many a battlefield something of the horrors of war, and who realized the expense and suffering which war entailed, stood firmly upon the ground that a peaceful solution could be found. And when that awful occurrence took place in the harbor of Havana, and a hot frenzy of indignation swept over our people, and a conflict seemed inevitable, he faced popular clamor and heated counsels, and still believed that the wrongs of Cuba could be remedied and redressed without an appeal to the arbitrament of war. The folly of Spain and the indignation of the American people forbade a peaceful solution. Then the president seconded by a Republican congress, before a gun was fired, declared to the world the lofty and unselfish motives that alone actuated the nation. No man now, or in the centuries to come, when history, which alone "trumphs over time," recounts the marvelous story of the war which changed the THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA C. E. H.

After which the wrecking train will arrive and clear up wreck in the presence of the entire audience Amusements of all kinds Admission. 25 Cents map of the world, shall ever truthfully say that this republic was animated by any but the noblest purposes. Recorded time tells of no such war, for it was fought, with bloody sacrifice; by a great and free republic, for the freedom of another race, while its own liberties were unassailed. This is not the time or the occasion to dwell upon the incidents of the war, crowded with successive victories and illumined with countless examples of individual bravery and gallant conduct. Its living heroes are honored by a generous country; its dead have ennobled the race, and will live forever in the hearts of a grateful people. In August, 1898, a preliminary protocol was executed at Washington, followed by the sessions of the peace commissioners of the United States and Spain, in Paris, commencing in October of that year. Public interest in this country concerning these negotiations was intense. Until our soldiers and sailors had landed at Manila we had known little of the conditions of the people of the Philippines. We soon ascertained that the cruelties and oppressions existing in Cuba were mild compared with the treatment to which 8,000,000 of people in those islands were subjected. We realized that if we relinquished the archipelago to Spain we consigned its inhabitants again to a condition worse than slavery, worse than barbarism. We had put our hands to the plow, and every instinct of honor and humanity forbade us to turn back. A universal demand arose from all over the country that we should retain our hold upon these islands, afford their people the protection of our laws, lift them out of their unfortunate condition, and fit them, if possible for self-government. No man saw this so clearly as did the president. In his advices to the commissioners he told them it was imperative that we should be governed only by motives that should exalt the nation; that territorial expansion was our least concern, but that, whatever else was done, the people of the Philippines must be liberated from Spanish domination, and he reached this view solely through considerations of duty and humanity. The American commissioners, men of differing political faiths, reached a unanimous conclusion. The treaty of Paris was ratified by the vote of two-thirds of the senate, and the territory we acquired under it became lawful and legal possessions of the United States. The responsibility for the war rested upon us all; the responsibility for the treaty rests chiefly upon the Republican party, and that party avows the wisdom of the treaty and declares it to be the policy of the party to adhere to its terms and to accept the responsibilities it imposed. We assume dominion of Porto Rico. Cuba and the Phillippines for reasons differing as to each of them. Wt took to ourselves the little ishand of Porto Rico because it lay under the shadow of our own shores, and because its continued occupancy by Spain or by any foreign government would be a constant menace to the states and to that great inter-oceanic waterway which we shall build and own and operate as an American canal. We found it impoverished by years of colonial misgovernment and without any system of revenue laws. Soon after the peace its people were further stricken by food and famine. We assumed towards them every obligation which sympathy and friendship could prompt. We contributed as a nation large sums of money to amellorate their condition and to enable them to plant and garner their crops. Then we said to them, we shall give you a just and equitable form of free govern- ment, with power to manage your home affairs. Until you shall devise proper and efficient methods of revenue and taxation, your needed funds shall be raised as follows: You shall pay upon your imports 15 per cent of the present tariff rate governing importations into the United States, which means an average duty of about 7 per cent. All the necessaries of life and building materials for the structures you need shall be free. On the 1st day of March, 1902, all of these duties shall cease in any event, and shall cease sooner if before that time you can arrange for the needed revenues of the island. The recommendations of the president were fully and satisfactorily complied with; the people of the island are content, the vast mass of the American people approve, and we have avoided precedents that might vex us when we come to deal with the problems that finally await us in the establishment of our permanent relations toward the people of the Philippine islands. There has been much discussion during the past few months in respect to the extent of the power of this country to deal with Porto Rico and our other possessions. The supreme court of the United States has more than once determined the question, and the contention concerning it now by our opponents is not because anybody believes that the laws we have enacted for the government of the island are unjust, but in order to embarrass the administration in dealing effectively with our new possessions. The circumstances associated with our possession of Cuba are new and unparalleled in the history of conquests. And in this connection it is flitting to say that the peculations and frauds committed in Cuba by subordinate officials have made every American blush with shame, and until the last* of the guilty men is arrested and convicted and sentenced that shame will know no abatement. It is no more to be charged to the party than would a theft by a trusted employee be charged against the character of the merchant who employed him. We are dealing with Cuba in a spirit not only of fairness but of generosity and of absolute unselfishness and whenever the inhabitants of that island evince and declare their ability to take over its government and control, that day they shall receive it. We have never coveted the possessions of foreign principalities, and land lust is unknown among us. No civilized nation in the world, no Christian nation, could have turned these people back to Spain. Our commissioners, when they insisted upon our retention of the Philippines, voiced the sentiments and wishes of the American people; and this nation has assumed with open eyes and with full realization of the difficulties which may be encountered, the grave responsibilities imposed upon us by the treaty of Paris. We are actually owners of the Philippines by an undisputed and indubitable title. We are there as the necessary and logical outcome of our victory over Spain. The insurrection against our legitimate authority, which, for the time, impedes our efforts to establish a government for the Filipinos, involves us in a sacrifice of lives and of treasure. The obstacles to the establishment of a civil government in the islands are many, but we shall overcome them. The wise statesmanship of the president and our able secretary of state has already brought from the countries of Europe a recognition of our right to share in the vast commercial advantages which will follow the opening of the Chinese empire to foreign trade; the Nicaraguan Indiana's Best Negro Newspaper canal will soon be constructed; Hawaii, with its valuable harbor, is ours; we possess the best of the Samoan islands, with its magnificent roadway; the Philippines are almost at the door of China, and if counsels of fear do not prevail, this generation will see the American nation grilling half the globe with its flag, extending its foreign commerce to the uttermost parts of the earth, and taking its place among the great world nations, a power for good, for peace and for righteousness. Never since '64, when the voters of the country were called upon to determine whether the efforts of Abraham Lincoln to preserve the Union should be continued, or whether they should be abandoned and other measures attempted, have questions so vital been presented to the American people for settlement. Their decision must determine the maintenance or the degradation of both our national credit and our National honor. A Democratic president could paralyze the operation of the new currency law as effectively as if it were wiped from our statute books. A Democratic victory would infuse new life into the Tagal insurrection, cost us the lives of thousands of our gallant army in the Philippines, impair or destroy our prestige, if not our power, in the islands, make us a byword among the other great nations of the world and obliterate our influence in the settlement of the vital questions certain to arise when China shall be opened to foreign commerce. Whatever else in the past has suffered change or decay, the Republican party, which for 40 years has been identified with everything enobling and uplifting in our history, was never as vital, as virile, and as vigorous as today. And the heritage we shall transmit to the new century to the coming generation and to their children, and to their children's children, shall be a record clean and unnarrished, an unquenchable faith in free institutions, an unalterable belief in the patriotism of the people, and an undying love of liberty and of country.

Newton, was at his best in the presentation of "His Death and Crucifixion." That group of hearers never will forget that beautiful yet solemn picture so satirally drawn by the speaker upon that occasion. He seemed to have painted the scene upon a canvass and it only remained for his hearers to "look and live." The "Journey to Calvary" was beautifully portrayed and that awful scene enacted thereon was as vividly drawn as life itself. Amid the solemnity of the occasion the good Doctor took his seat while Presiding elder Tanistle of the Transvaal, Africa, in a fervent and eloquent prayer waffled the audience to a throne of grace. Rev. Dr. Murray in the opening invocation prayed as he never prayed before. His appeal to the Master for His guidance and protection to His coworkers in the gospel was extremely touching. In the contribuion ion service Dr. Newton presided. He adopted his usual method of giving first which has been so effectual in all of his efforts. In a very brief time $16 was laid upon the table and in a private donation Dr. Newton swelled the collection to $21 by presenting the pastor with $5 for his meritorious work at Wayman Chapel. Dr. Elbert was compelled to withdraw from the afternoon service in order to return and preach in the evening. His subject was, "The Utility of Trials and Tribulations" had a deep and lasting impression upon the audience. Wayman has no stronger friend than Dr. Elbert. May Jehovah lengthen his days of usefulness and crown his every effort with success. Collection for the day was $23 for which we graciously thank our friends who were present and assisted us. God bless you all. Missionary Meeting The Woman's Home and Foreign missionary - society met with Mrs. M. Hams, 511 West street, with a large attendance.

CARMEN BELLICOSUM In their ragged regimentals Stood the old Continentals, Yielding not, When the greendriers were lunging, And like hail fell the plunging Unicorn, And grummer, grummer, grummer Rolled the roll of the drummer. Through the morn! Then with eyes to the front all, And with guns horizontal, Stood our sires. Blazed the fires; As the roar on the shore, Swept the strong battle-breakers O'er the green-sodded acres Of the plain; And louder, louder, louder, Cracked the black gunpowder Cracking amain! Now like smiths at their forges Worked the red St. George's Cannoners! And the "villainous saltpetre" Rung a fierce-discordant metre Round their ears; As the swift storm-drift, With hot sweeping anger Came the horse-guards' clangor On our flanks; Then higher, higher, higher Burned the old-fashioned fire Through the ranks. Then the bare-headed colonel Galloped through the whole infernal Powder-cloud. And his broad sword was swinging, And his brazen throat was ringing Trumpet-loud. Then the blue bullets flew. And the trooper-jackets redden At the touch of the leaden Rifle-breath; And rounder, rounder, rounder Roared the iron six-pounder, Hurling death. —Guy Humphrey McMaster. DAWN OF LIBERTY LEXINGTON AND CONCORD KIND DLED THE FLAMES. Patrioti Fires Lighted There Fused the Thirteen Colonies Into the Fabric of Our National Life—The Shot That Was "Heard Around The Whole World." The first collision in that memorable struggle which gave a new nation to the world was the battle of Lexington. That first shot, which the poet has aptly sald was "heard around the world" kindled the flames of war, and in these flames the thirteen colonies were fused into the fabric of the American nation, now the greatest, the most prosperous and the most freedom blessed among the powers of the globe. Not only was the battle of Lexington and Concord the introductory to the surrender at Yorktown and the birth of a new nation, it was the introductory to the subsequent political changes in Europe, when dynasties were swamped, tyranny overthrown and the people for the first time were made aware of their powers, their duties and their rights. It was the sponsor if not the parent of democracy in Europe. Prior to the initial outbreak at Lexington the provincial authorities were preparing for a struggle and had collected at Concord provisions, arms and ammunition. Unhappily these were not easy to obtain. On April 19, 1775, only twelve field pieces could be counted in Massachusetts, but there had been collected in that colony 21,549 firearms, 17,441 pounds of powder, 22,391 pounds of ball, 144,699 pounds, 19,108 bayonets, 11,979 pouches, 15,000 canteens. There were also 17,000 pounds of salt fish and 35,000 pounds of rice, with large quantities of beef and pork. Surely twelve field pieces and 17,000 pounds of salt fish were not a great encouragement upon which to enter into a contest with the greatest military power of the world, but the contest came sooner than either side expected and lo! a new nation arose as if by magic and throwing out her arms embraced the Pacific and the Atlantic. It was upon the night of April 18, 1775, that Paul Revere set out on his memorable ride from Boston to notify the patriots in Concord that the British contemplated raiding the place and confiscating the military stores. He was sent by Dr. Joseph Warren, head of the Committee of Safety in Boston. To be doubly sure Warren sent two messengers, one of them, Revere, to proceed by way of Charlestown through Lexington to Concord, and the other, William Dawes, to take the route by way of Roxbury. A certain signal was to be given from the church tower of North Church by the sexton, Robert Newman, as to the route the British were to take in making their raid. The signal was duly given by means of two lanterns and then Revere, supplied with all the information necessary, crossed the Charles river and began his ride to Concord. Two soldiers attempted to intercept him, for the British commander, General Gage, had issued orders that no American should be permitted to leave the city, but Revere eluded them and --- spreading the news of the intended raid on the way safely reached Lexington. Here he notified Hancock and Adams and was joined by Dawes. Together the two messengers rode out of Lexington for Concord and were joined on the way by Dr. Prescott. At Lincoln the three were confronted by a squad of British soldiers and Revere and Dawes were taken prisoners. Prescott, however, escaped arrest and continuing his journey, bore the important news to Concord. Meantime the British troops under command of Colonel Smith had left Boston and at daybreak the advanced guard, under Major Pitcairn, approached Lexington. When the main body came up the entire force took up a position on Lexington green and found themselves confronted by a couple of score of Americans under command of Captain John Parker. "Don't fire unless you are fired on." were the words of Captain Parker to his men; "but if they want a war let it begin here." It began there; the Americans were fired on, losing all told eight of their number killed and nine wounded. They made an ineffectual reply, wounding three British soldiers and the horse of Pitcairn. The rest of the Americans retreated, and receiving reinforcements pursued the British toward Concord and attacked them with desperate fury, capturing seven prisoners—the first prisoners taken in the American war. Then followed the fight at Concord, where 450 Americans rallied to meet the British. The principal fighting was done at the north bridge and there the American captain, Isaac Davis, fell. The Americans opened a galling fire and the British detachments fell back in disorder. Their main body was too strong to be attacked and after committing a few depredations they began their return march. It ended in flight. The American minute men from behind every tree and house poured in a deadly fire and the British would have been forced to surrender before reaching Lexington had not Lord Percy arrived with a reinforcement of 1,200 men. Even with this support the British fell back, for the Americans were pouring to the scene in hundreds from Dorchester, Milton, Dedham and other towns. The struggle was on. The fight at Lexington electrified the colonies. The day before there were not many who thought of war; the following day the British were beagled in Boston and the possibility of a war became a certainty. In New York, Philadelphia, Charleston and Savannah the news of the fight was received with enthusiasm. That raw, provincial troops should have faced and routed the British army was not only a surprise, but an impetus to the grand struggle that gave England a rival amid the nations of the earth. THE FOURTH AT PIKEVILLE. Trials and Tribulations of the Committee on Ceremonies. The Fourth will never be forgotten at Pikeville. The program was prepared at a meeting thirty days beforehand. The meeting was exciting. Miss Laura De Sha was elected to read the Declaration of Independence. "She's the only young lady that can read, I suppose," whispered Mrs. Ames, and she glanced at her five grown daughters. Whispers continued until twenty women had agreed never to buy a yard of calico at Mr. De Sha's store. Six young ladies said they would not speak to Miss De Sha any more. Dr. Bunkerman was elected orator. "Maybe he's the only man in town that can make a speech," -muttered Lawyer Tibbs, and his gold-headed cane struck the floor. "I wouldn't have him doctor a canary," said Mrs. Tibbs. Two lawyers, one doctor and four district school teachers agreed with Mrs. Tibbs. The grocer, Mr. Brown, proposed a foot race, "I object!" thundered Squire Midd. "Let's have a jumping contest. My Thomas can outjump any of the boys, but he can't run." The majority, however, voted for the foot race, and Squire Midd and nineteen others said they would get their groceries in Swamptown for the future. The blacksmith, William Bonn, moved to adjourn. Joseph Scanlan and Johnny Gray opposed the motion, but it was carried, and Mr. Scanlan, Mr. Gray and ten more said their horses should go unshod rather than be taken to Bonn's. For weeks after this meeting people passing the homes of Miss De Sha and Dr. Bunkerman late at night could her reciting the "Declaration" in a sweet voice, and the doctor rehearsing his oration, now softly, now in tones loud enough to be almost sublime. Many stopped and listened, looking up at the shadowy gestures on the window curtains. These rehearsals were heard until even the little boys on the streets were shouting. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary," and "Fellow citizens of Pikeville." At night men were seen here and there running in alleys and pastures by starlight. They were practicing for the foot race. The 3d of July came. Until midnight mothers and daughters ironed white dresses. Dissatisfaction with the program would keep no one at home tomorrow. All would celebrate. And every one was delighted that the sun had set in a clear sky, arched by two rainbows, and that now at midnight all the stars shone. THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA Little birds were awaking one by one on the morning of the Fourth. when all the windows in all the houses of Pikeville rattled. People leaped from their beds to close the shutters. The lightning flashed. Women ran into cellars. Rain fell heavily all day, and no one went out of doors. THE LIBERTY BELL. I heard it ring all through the night. In joyful tones supreme. As though from freedom's far height. The melody did stream; And liberty. FLAG OF THE FREE It Carries With it the Power and * Dignity of the American Nation. Independence Day carries us backward to the time when America became the scene of a bloody conflict. The "tiger strife" with the red man was scarcely passed when the gauge of battle was thrown down before the British army in the streets of Boston. Then followed the disastrous riot eleven days afterward, and the destruction of tea in Boston harbor, and then in succession the battles of Lexington and Bunker's Hill. Over the grave of the first victim was opened a mighty chapter in the world's history. One can not read the graphic descriptions of these events in history without the stirring of his patriotic spirit, and it may be commended as a wholesome exercise to read the opening chapters as a preparation for the proper observance of the Fourth of July. We need not tell over the old well-worn tale of hardship, patriotism and heroic endurance of the thrilling conflict whose pathos will ever make strong men weep. Coming to a later period in our history, we mark the time when on the 13th of April, 1818, our beautiful "Star Spangled Banner" was first hoisted over the hall of representatives at Washington. The Star Spangled Banner from that time to the present has continued to be the national standard of the American Republic. At first it contained but thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original States; but now forty-eight stars herald the birth of forty-eight States, with more to follow. As we contemplate our national symbol on this Independence Day, we may use it as an object to conjure by, for we hold sacred the American flag. It is the emblem of liberty, and as star after star flashes upon its banner, it becomes the record of prosperity, and the hope of our country's tranquility. Many scenes and incidents in our history have abiding interest because they are linked to the flag of the Union. The immortal national song, the "Star Spangled Banner," was penned by Francis Scott Key while he was watching from the British fleet the bombardment of Fort McHenry. His soul was wrought to intense anxiety for the safety of the flag, and he exclaims, "O, say! can you see? O, tell me! Is it still floating? Can you see it?" As the night wore away and the morning dawn revealed the Stars and Stripes still floating, the poet broke forth into a strain that is reverberating in other continents—"And the Star Spangled Banner for O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave." When the great empire of Brazil declared herself free, the Star Spangled Banner with Brazilian colors was adopted as the emblem of the new republic. The Stars and Stripes are moving on, over land and sea, carrying with them the power and dignity of the American nation. Those who established liberty are gone; those who fought for the maintenance of the Union are one by one leaving the earthly scene of their heroism, and we, their children, are granted this light of our country's happiness. The Stars and Stripes float over us, and in the folds of that flag we read the silent history of struggle, and upon its face the prophecy of future good. Still there are brave hearts like Colonel Mulligan's, who, on the field at Winchester, when carried away mortally wounded, exclaimed to his comrades, "Lay me down and save the flag." We love the flag and "will never let its sacred folds lie trailing in the dust." FOURTH OF JULY REVIVAL. Interest in the Old-Time Patriotic Festival Awakens Anew. The revival of the Fourth of July is a sign of the times. All over the broad land the interest in the old-fashioned patriotic festival is awakening anew, and this year every sizable village in the United States resounds to the cracking of the miniature bombs which John, Chinaman has taught us to use for expressing our joy. A new thrill of national pride is running through the people; and it is followed by a desire to manifest that pride. Fourth of July furnishes exactly the chance to give vent to the feeling of the exuberant energy—the mysterious tendency to expansion, and the old self-assertion fever. The uncontrollable desire to "hear the eagle scream" shows that the nation knows its strength and means to use it. We menace nobody, but we mean to "gang our ain gait," without paying much attention to objections or obstacles. Columbia was never stronger than she is on this one hundred and twenty-third anniversary of her birth in the sacred old Independence Hall at Philadelphia. She came of a heroic race; A giant's strength, a maiden's grace, Like two in one, seem to embrace. And match and blend and thorough-blend, in her colossal form and face. Her four stalwart daughters are like their mother. And over her—and over all, For panoply and coronal— The mighty immemorial And Everlasting Canopy and Starry Arch and Shield of All. Whatever Americans may see to be dissatisfied with in the present situation of their country, they can not recall her history and think of her resources without feeling that whatever is unwholesome in existing conditions is only temporary, and the result of all clear-sighted Fourth of July meditation must be to re-establish confidence in the grandeur of the destiny of the republic. THE LIBERTY BELL. I heard it ring all through the night In joyful tones supreme As though from freedom's far off height The melody did stream; And liberty O! liberty— Its only constant theme, And liberty O! liberty— It shouted through my dream. It seemed to lift, to rise, to float Me on the joyful strain; The pulsing accents seemed to gloat On that one rich refrain; And liberty O! liberty— It echoed through my brain, And liberty O! liberty— It called and called again. All through the dreamful, happy night I heard its voice outpour— The "poor old bell"—the people said "Would ring ah! nevermore." But liberty O! liberty— I heard it o'er and o'er And liberty O! liberty— As in the days of yore. And does it ring no more—ah me; They spoke who were not wise. Its voice is rolling round the world— Such music never dies. Still liberty O! liberty— Unceasingly it cries And liberty O! liberty— A listening world replies. An Off Night. Dashaway—Are you going around to Miss Summitt's tonight? Her father is going to have a fireworks celebration. Cleverton—Oh, yes; of course. Are you? Dashaway—No. She doesn't want me to come. Cleverton—Why not? Dashaway—She says there will be too much light. A Glorious Occasion Miss Palisade—Do you remember the last Fourth of July celebration we had, Mr. Stuffer? Mr. Stuffer—I remember it very well, Miss Palisade, for it was the last time I took dinner with you. A Reflection.

John Jones, in which you say, 'Mr. Jones is in great danger. Dr. Killiam has been called in.'"—Philadelphia Press. A Summer Resort. "The other day," said the horse editor to the snake editor, "you referred to Pittsburg as a great summer resort." "Yes." "Now see how hot it is. Do you call this the sort of weather for a summer resort? "The weather justifies my assertion that Pittsburg is a fine summer resort. A great deal of summer has already resorted here."—Pittsburg Chronicle. Feminine Generosity. "It is a base slander to say that the average woman is stingy," she exclaimed. "She may not give as much in 'tips' as man does, but in many other ways she is generous." "Yes," he replied, "she surely is generous with some things." She feared a trap, but she could not refrain from asking, "With what, for instance?" "With secrets," he answered.—Chicago Post. He Wants More Eclipses.

That's all there is in that story.—Chicago Tribune. Equal to the Emergency After the Honeymoon—Why, Charley, I thought you always had my photograph on your desk.

Miss Susan Wymar, teacher in the Richmond school, Chicago, Ill., writes the following letter to Dr. Hartman regarding Peru-na. She says: "Only those who have suffered as I have, can know what a blessing it is to be able to find relief in Peru-na. This has been my experience. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and every bottle of Pe-ru-na I ever bought proved a good friend to me."—Susan Wymar. Mrs. Margaretha Dauben, 1214 North Superior St., Racine City, Wis., writes: "I feel so well and good and happy now that pen cannot describe it. Pe-ru-na is everything to me. I have taken several bottles of Pe-ru-na for female complaint. I am in the change of life and it does me good." Pe-ru-na has no equal in all of the irregularities and emergencies peculiar to women caused by pelvic catarrh. Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O., for a free book for women only.

Mrs. Pinkham The one thing that qualifies a person to give advice on any subject is experience - experience creates knowledge. No other person has so wide an experience with female ills nor such a record of success as Mrs. Pinkham has had. Over a hundred thousand cases come before her each year. Some personally, others by mall. And this has been going on for 20 years, day after day and day after day. Twenty years of constant success - think of the knowledge thus gained! Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with such an experience, especially when it is free. If you are ill get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once-then write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Do·You·Know THAT THAT THE RECORDER Is Prepared to do all kinds of Job Printing on short notice?

A RECORD WITHOUT AN EQUAL IN INDIANA AND PROBABLY IN THE COUNTRY. Disaster at South Bend —The Southard Suicide—Saloon Fight at Cumberland—Killed by a Bull— State News. A Notable Familiy New Albany special to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Residing a few miles from here is the famfly of Mr. and Mrs. Her- bert Scott, well known and highly respect- ea people of Floyd county. THe family has a record without an equal, perhaps, in Indiana, and probably in the country. To Mr. and Mrs. Scott have been born 15 children, all of whom have grown to manhood and womanhood. A few months ago, after having successfully reared such a family, the two old people agreed that they could not get along without the mu- sle of childish voices areund the house, and, coming to New Albany, they adopted from the Orphans’ Home a little boy. Strange as it may seem, death has never broken up the family circle, yet it is a Uttle less strange that for the first time in the history of the family, a few weeks ago, all the children were gathered to- gether simultaneously under the home roof-tree. As the older children grew up they Separated and began to make a liv- ing for themselves, When they left home the youngest of the family had not been born, and atthough all of them have at various times returned, yet it so happened that the entire number had always failed to reach home at the same time until the celebration of the golden wedding anni- versary of the parents, ‘The father was born Jan. 2%, 1829. THe was married to Miss Nancy McKinley, now 67 years old, Feb. 13, 1850. Four generations of the fam- fly are now counted on the family tree. ‘The children are: Prof. Sam Scott, su- werintendent of schools of Clark county; John R. Scott, a teacher at the Indiana Reformatory: Frank J. Scott, Mrs. Jennie Bell, Mrs. Melvina Mason, Mrs. Emma Sample, William Scott, Carter Scott, Win- fie Scott, Daniel Voorhees Scott, Zenor Scott, Glenn Scott, Miss Eliza Scott, Liz- zie and Eva Scott. ‘The male members of the family are all Democrats. Most of them have attained prominence either in public or business life. One is auditor of a county in Iowa, and another a prosper- ous merchant of the same county, Prof. Sam Scott has been twice superintendent of the schools of Clark county. Disaster at South Bend. South Bend special: ‘The Morrison Ho- tel, 2 four-story structure, was partly de- stroyed by fire Wednesiay morning, caus Ing the death of TL. P.

Southard of Ken- nard to a suicide's grave, has brought out the fact that Wilbur Wood, the attorney who is under bond as an accomplice, had told Mr. Southard that a widow in Rays- ville, the mother of minor children, de- sired a guardian appointed for them in view of an expected pension. Southard showed a willingness to act In that capac- fty, and went as directed by Woods, to the house of Alice Green. She corrobo- rated Woods’ statement, and Southard told her he would think the matter over, and let her know his answer later. He told the story to a prominent Knights- town citizen, who enlightened him as to the character of the woman, sald she was not entitled to 4 pension, that it was a trap, and advised him to have nothing to do with it. In accordance with his prom- Ise to let the woman know, he went to her house a second time to inform her that he could not serve as guardian. These two visits are believed by South- ara’s friends to have been the only visits nade by him to the place. ee caer ee ‘The saloon fight at Cumberland had some new developments Saturday night. Fifteen or twenty unknown men stoned the residence of Dr. J. H. Groff, who has heen quite active in the prosecution of the liquor sellers. As soon as the disturb- ance began, Dr. Groff came out of his house and gave chase. The men ran into Little's saloon, the lights were extin- guished, and the crowd escaped through a back door into the darkness. ‘There is no clew is to who the men were, The trouble at Cumberland has been on for some time.

THE REPORT OF A MAN OF EX- PeRIENCE, ‘What He Fopnd in Western Canada to fh cay Sa pet ge ag families, I wish to state a-few facts in regard to the Canadian Northwest, where I went, leaving Sault Ste. Marie ‘on May 2, 1899, for the purpose of seek- ing a better home for my family in the future. I got a special rate ticket for Ft, McLeod, Alberta. Through Mant- toba and part of Assiniboia the farm- ers were busily employed ploughing and seeding. I found the farmers very kind and friendly, willing to talk and assist in glving nie the particulars of the country, At McLeod I spent a few days looking over some ranchers’ stock, which I was surprised to see looking so well; they were in better condition than any stock T ever saw in Michigan, even those that had been stabled, and most of these had never seen the inside of a shed or received any feed from the hands of man. But as I was look- ing for mixed farm land, I found Me- Leod no place for me; it is only tit for ranching purposes. Retracing my way back to Winnipeg, I stopped off ‘at Lethbridge, where I found some ‘of the greatest horse ranches I ever had the pleasure of look- ing at; It 1s a fine, level country and lots of water and good grazing. At Medicine Hat, which is located in a val- ley, there were lots of sheep, cattle and horses in the surrounding country and all looking well, On July 14 I went on to Regina, There I began to see mixed farming lands in abundance, and the crops look- ing remarkably well, and as long as daylight lasted I saw the same all along the line, and on the 15th day of July I arrived in Winnipeg, just in time for the exhibition, There 1 met with one of the most beautiful pictures of the world’s records, for a soon as I entered the grounds my eyes met with all kinds of machinery, all in motion, and tie cattle, grain and produce of the country was far beyond my ex- pectation, in fact it was beyond any industrial exhibition or agricultural fair I ever visited, and I have seen a good many. From Regina to Prince Albert, a dis- tance of 250 miles, it Is all good for vnixed farming, and well settled, with tome thriving little towns. In’ some dlaces the grain, just coming into head, would take a man to the waist, and the wild fruit along the line was good, rich and in great quantities. From Sas- katoon on the south branch of the Sus- katehewan river, to Prince Albert on the north brancit of the Saskatchewan river, is one of the best farming dis- trlets, without any doubt, that ever laid facé to the sun, and everything to Ve found there that 1s necessary’ to make life comfortable, all that is re- quired {s labor. ‘There is lots of wood, good water and abundant hay land, and the climate is excellent. \ Prigce Albert is a flourishing ilttle place, situated on the north Saskatche- wan river, having a population of about 1,890, with good streets and side- walks and churches of neatly every de- nomination, three school houses ‘and another one to be built at once, also a brewery and creamery. Here I stayed for about four months, working at my trade of brick laying, and. met with farmers and ranchers, with whom L made it my special business to talk in regard to the prospects. I also visited several farmers for some distance out in the country while crops were in full btoom, and I'may say that I neyer saw better crops in all any travels than I saw along the valley towards Stoney creek and Carrot river. In the market garden there is grown currants, both red and blacksand as fine a sample of roots and vegetables as ever went on a market. ‘The soll in and around ‘this distriet cannot be beaten for anything you may wish to grow. and besides the Beason'is long, giving time for every- thing to mature. ‘The cattle were look- ing as good as I saw anywhere, good pasture and hay land, and plenty of water wherever you go; the country is dotted all around like islands with im- bor ft for fuel and bulldlis purposes, and within a day's walk of lumbering woods, where lumbering’ and tie-mak. ing Is carried on in winter.

INDIANA A preparation prepared solely and distinctly to improve the condition of the hair of the negro race. Not a worthless, offensive, obnoxious, greasy mass of injurious nostrums, but a delicately perfumed ungent. beautiful to look upon; made to adorn the lady, polish the gentleman, benefit youth, and gladden old age. OZONO straightens knotty, nappy, kinky, refractory hair. OZONO does this alone. No hot irons are necessary; no plastering down with grease. OZONO individually straightens, without any outside assistance. It will cause the hair to come back on bald spots. It will restore gray hair to its natural color. It will cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and beautiful as an April morn. It will cure all itching, burning, running, humilizing Scalp Diseases, Dandruff, Tetter, Scurf, and Eczema. It cannot live after OZONO has been applied. It is as pure as the dow-drop, beautiful as the morn, and harmless as the rippling water of the babbling brook. Cleanliness is next to Godliness; filth is a *crime*. If your hair is short and harsh and kinky; if your scalp is covered with dandruff or itch, or eczema, it is doubtless your fault alone. If your little ones' heads are a mass of crusty, scaly, flaky scurf, teeming with germs and microbes, that are invisible to the naked eye, but which are sapping the life from the hair and destroying it forever, and you allow this state to go on, it is a *crime*. It is your place to stop this, duty you owe to yourself, to your child, to your Maker. OZONO is your remedy. OZONO will positively and permanently remove all the diseases, and straighten and beautify the hair, making it silky and glossy and black as the raven's wing. OZONO, as compared with other hair remedies, stands as the mountain peak, fair as the illy, and glorious as the sun. OZONO is King. The price is 506. a box. It requires about four boxes to complete the treatment. Write to us at once, enclosing the small sum of ONE DOLLAR, and we will immediately forward to you four large boxes of OZONO. We will also send you one large bottle of ELECTRICAL SKIN REFINER, which makes rough skin soft and brightens the blackest skin, making it several shades lighter. Now, there is much fraud practiced with face bleaches: Understand, we do not advertise this bleach to make one white. God alone can accomplish this, and it would be miraculous. Unpin your faith from frauds. We assert that our Refiner will soften rough skin and brighten black skin, but it can do no more. Take our advice; don't fool with any bleach that is advertised to make you white; it is more apt to poison you. We will also include one fancy jar of ELECTRICAL SKIN FOOD, which is a sure remedy for all Skin Eruptions, Pimples, Black Heads, Liver Spots, and all Skin Diseases. It will remove Wrinkles, Scars, Facial Blemishes, and will positively take out Small-Pox Pits. This is saying a great deal, but it is true. It makes the old look young and the young look younger. And, lastly, to prove our liberality, we will add a one-pint package of ANTI-ODOR. This remedy removes all smells and odors arising from the human body. Its uses are too numerous to mention.

General Immigration and Industrial Agent, Louisville, Ky. OZONO! King of Hair Dressings. WHAT IS OZONO? OUR GRAND OFFER. BROKEN BRIC-A BRACS Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, explains some very interesting facts about Major's Cement. The multitude who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per cent, better than other cements for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know the reason why. The simple reason is that Mr Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other manufacturers do not use them, because they are too expensive and do not allow large profits. Mr Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound and another costs $2.65 a gallon, while a large share of the so-called cements and liquid glue upon the market are nothing more than sixteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric acid and, in some cases altered slightly in color and odor by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's cement retails at fifteen cents and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon it that his only object is to make larger profit The profit on Major's cement is as much as any dealer ought to make on any cement. And this is doubly true in View of the fact that each dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr Major's advertising, which now amounts to over $5000 a month, throughout the country. Established in 1876. Insist on having Major's. Don't accept any offhand advice from a druggist. If you are at all handy (and you will be likely to find that you are a good deal more so than you imagine) you can repair your rubber boots and family shoes, and any other rubber and leather articles, with Major's Rubber Cement and Major's Leather Cement. And you will be suprised at how many dollars a year you will save. If your druggist can't supply you, it will be forwarded by mall; either kind.
