By Stan Correspondence The enrollment at Lincoln Institute is breaking all former records and won al the close of the first month of the tali term, September 29th over four hundred students are in attendance, and the number increases daily. For the first time in the history of the institution it has become necessary to use the gallery of the auditorium during devotional ex reuses. The Lincoln Institute Professors, and Lincoln Las Juntas are in demand is indicated by the following facts that Professor Garnett of the department of classical languages recently has been elected President of Western College Macon, Mo. Professor John Wheeler last year Superintendent of industrial work for young man is now employed in the Baltimore High School Miss Frederick Sprague last year in charge of department of Domestic Science is now at the head of educational work in Lincoln High School Kansas City, Mo., still other professors have had silent calls. Miss Burrell the new head of the department of Domestic Science, brings prestige to Lincoln Institute as a graduate of Madam Rorer's famous school and as a teacher of classes in said school, as a result several of the leading schools of the state have already appointed to President Allen to have Miss Burrell make out courses of study in Domestic science or cooking that can be used in connection with elementary and secondary school work. Although as a state school Lincoln Institute partakes of nothing, denominational mar societan in its religious teachings, the christian influences surrounding the student are of the most helpful character. Services are held in the Institute Auditorium every Sunday afternoon at which time a most practical and instructive discourse is given either by President Allen or by some in vited visitor from the city, the latter including every denomination there represented, the singing is exceptional fine tuned by choirs of especially trained voices. President Allen's discourse September 8th on "A Wise Decision" suggested by Solomon's choice was full of valuable thought and highly appreciated by all present. The practical nature of the education furnished by Lincoln Institute is demonstrated when it is known that the following representative Negroes and many others to number to mention are all graduates of Lincoln Institute. Dr W. T. Vernon, Register of Deeds, Judge J. F. Bradley Kansas City, Ks; Lawyer Walter Farmer and Dr. A. W. William Chicago, IL; Doctors Manslife, Jackson and Croodock of St. Louis; Dr Wm.

Pride and Vanity The foundation of pride is the wish to respect one's self, whatever others may think; the mainspring of vanity is the craving for the admiration of others, no matter at what cost to one's self-respect.—F. Marion Crawford. Resents Reference to "Copperpa." "What do you mean by talking about 'coppers' before me?" said a London magistrate to a man in the dock. "It is a gross imperinence to refer to the police as 'coppers' in a court of justice." Many Species of Animals. Four hundred thousand species of animals are now known to exist, according to the latest report of the French natural history museum. Of spiders alone there are 20,000 different kind. The Business Poet "John's the poet with the true business instinct," said the wife. "He has just swapped a sonnet for a fat turkey and a love song for two gallons of measurer."—Alanta Constitution. Be Appreciative. Some people never dream of praising anything or anybody. They take everything as a matter of course, and imagine that they show their superiority by so doing. They little dream that they never get the best service owing to their niggardiness in showing their appreciation. It is surprising how a little word of praise stimulates to new effort, and puts life and interest into the work of those about ```markdown ``` Sleep and rest need. In the days when eight hours for sleep was nominally regarded as as a too long for any self-respecting individual, the exhausting character of modern life was unknown. There was less wealth and more contentment; less competition and more security; fewer distractions, but more simplicity. Work was easier, slower; and care, anxiety, apprehension—in a word, worry—did not feed, like the worm l'ith' bud, upon the hours exerted from tilt. We are remorseless overtaxing the delicate machinism of our minds and nerves. The best walker, for instance, does not propose to himself to go regularly 60 miles a day, or to subject the same set of muscles in any other form of physical exercise to intense and unremitting labor. But that is what we do with the immediate agent of our minds—the brain machine. We cannot watch its movements. We often assume that its movements are as light and endless as the ripples of the universal air. We know and nevertheless we forget that the brain is a substantial apparatus as liable to depreciation as the fixed plant in a workshop. Now nothing is more certain than this, that the potential capacity of the human brain has not increased, if at all, in anything like the proportion of the immensely aggrated demand upon it. The modern man is subject to as much mental and moral wear and tear in a day as his ancestors in no very remote generation experienced in a week, says London Telegraph. Yet in respect to sleep we have hardly changed traditional habit. We keep later and still later hours. We catch our trains in the morning as usual. There is no doubt whatever that we burn the candle at both ends with unprecedented disregard of the laws of pharylogical economy and that the amount of rest we allow for nerve and brain is no longer adequate. Production of Silver. The production of silver in the United States has not varied radically since 1899, and we arrive at our judgment of a radical variation by comparison with the change in the output of gold, which has indeed been radical, says the Black Hills Mining Review. There was a difference of 4,000,000 ounces, approximately 28 per cent, between the low production of 1894 and the high of 1892, while there has been no new extreme within 12 years. The annual output of gold has considerably more than doubled within that time. The variation in the world's silver production during the 15 year period has been less than that of the United States, the high extreme of 1898 exceeding the low of 1891 by about 26 per cent. The world's annual production of gold has, on the other hand, been going steadily forward, except for the interruption by the Boer war, practically trebling since 1891. The United States has bought no silver in 12 years. The last purchases were under the act of 1890, by which in excess of 168,000,000 ounces were so acquired. During the 20 years following 1873 the government purchased almost 600,000,000 ounces, or at the average rate of about 25,000,000 ounces per year. In one sense Harvard was defeated on the Thames and in another sense she won. It was a triumph of comradeship among sportsmen and of international comity. The visit was well worth the result in drawing more closely together the sportsmen of both nations and in intensifying the popular friendship which the experiences of recent years have done so much to develop. The crimson of Harvard was indeed the "red badge of courage," but it also stood for the first color in our national emblem, and it represented the warm blood of kinship. Barbers' supplies may soon be furnished to soldiers at cost price by the government. Brig. Gen. Constant Williams, commanding the department of the Colorado, in his annual report recommends that articles needed for the proper care of the face shall be added to the list that may be purchased from the army storehouses. Among the articles mentioned are listerine, talcum powder, witch hazel, razors, shaving brushes and cups. He thinks also that soldiers should have the privilege of buying thread and needles at cost. A veteran student of phonetics says the sound of s is obtained in 19 ways and that the 26 letters of the alphabet may be used to represent 658 different sounds. In the language of the post Gray, "Enough: Where ignorance is bites 'tis folly to be wise." A Louisville police judge decides that Sunday theatricals are works of necessity. In one way he is right. You don't catch an actor working at it twice a day for seven days a week unless he is compelled to. A Florida correspondent of the New York Sun says fleas may be banished from any house by dragging a liveigator through the rooms. Persons whose dwellings are infested with fleas will have no right to complain after this. Uncle Sam's foreign trade last month and for the first half of the year shows an increase over the same periods of 1905. Europe may not like our manners, but she is compelled to swallow our products. GREAT FORTUNES BAD PRESIDENT TO URGE ENACTMENT OF INHERITANCE TAX LA FIELD ESTATE A MENACE Wealth Left by Chicago Merchant Expected to Be Bwollen Beyond All Healthy Limits by Time Heirs Secure Control. Washington. — President Roosevelt has inserted in the preliminary draft of his forthcoming annual message to congress a recommendation that a law be passed imposing a national tax upon inheritances. The president first called public attention to this idea in his celebrated "muckuck" speech which he delivered on January 14, 1915, commemorating the office building of the house of representatives April 14 last. Therein he expressed the view that ultimately the United States would have to consider the adoption of some such scheme as that of a progressive tax on all fortunes beyond a certain amount either given to a person or upon death to any individual—a tax so framed as to put it out of the power of the owner of one of these enormous fortunes to hand on more than a certain amount to any one individual. Such taxation should be aimed merely at the inheritance or transmission in their entirety of those fortunes swollen beyond all healthy Will Ask Congress to Help. The president will make every effort to get a law passed during the long session which begins in December of next year and will be attended by congressmen elected in November. Besides preparing public opinion on the important subject, the president is given the opportunity to the organization of the supreme court with a view to securing impartial consideration of the question of the constitutionality of the law which is certain to arise immediately after it is placed on the statute books. There is now one vacancy in the supreme court, and a second is expected to occur within a short time through the retirement of Justice Harlan. Up to Supreme Bench. The president has let it be known that he has selected a man to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Justice Brown whom he considers sane on the questions of state's rights and the negro. In the selection of this man he endeavored to secure a lawyer of high ability who could look at the cases brought before him from a national point of view. There is reason to believe the problem of the fine judges who will pass upon the constitutionality of the proposed inheritance tax law. Example in Field Fortune He deeply regrets, for instance, that there was no such law to prevent Marshall Field from tying up his estate in the way he did.

The Desire Is Now Voiced Openly in City of Havana MEETING CALLED FOR SUNDAY Will Discuss Piebiscite on Form of Government—Considerable Delay Is Reported but no Opposition to Disarmament. Havana, Oct. 5.—Now that the disarmament of the revolutionists and the revolutionists and the government volunteers is progressing steadily the thoughtful portions of the public of all nationalities are animatedly discussing the possibilities of Cuba's future form of government. The desire for annexation, which has been carefully concealed for the past four years, is now voiced openly, and the wish that the United States retain some measure of actual control in Cuban affairs is heard more insistent than ever. Representatives of leading elements, both Cuban and foreign, have been asked to attend a meeting next week to discuss the holding some sort of plebiscite by which all classes of the population would be enabled to express their ideas on what the future form of government should be. One plan suggested is the formation into groups of foreign elements of which will formulate its own project of government. The idea of holding the next elections in January has been entirely abandoned, the general preference among Cubans appearing to favor the holding of elections in June. The question of the status of congress and whether senators and representatives are elected to the House would be the establishment of the provisional government would be decided in Washington.

Argument had no effect upon the mayor until he was released from the arrest and reintake his men after quiet has been restored.

It is also shown that corruption by the United States has long been planned in the government and was communicated to the state department in a letter by Consul Steinbalt as early as Sept. 5.

There are instances in great numbers where mining operations were temporarily suspended by a shortage of funds or by water flooding or property, but it remained for Mohawk, a small station along the Southern Pacific, to furnish a new cause which is unique to the history of mining. The company affected owns the Red Creek mines in the Mohawk mountains. Millions of bees, attracted by water at these mines and forced by their hives in the mountains by the drought, took possession of the water supply, and their numbers were so great that it was found impossible to drive the bees away. Consequently have been shut down until the rainy season sets in, when it is hoped the bees will return to the mountain home.—Sacramento idea.

He took the agent to the place where he had hidden the money and all of the missing coin BODY IS FOUND IN CORN FIELD. Mystery in Death of C. Neal, Farmer Living, Near Backy. OR LIVING Near Neal. Guthrie Center.-Charles Neal, a wealthy farmer, living near Bagley, was found by his wife lying dead in a corn field near his home with a bullet hole though his side. Friends of the family, believing that a murder had been committed, notified the Des Moines police and sent for bloodhounds owned by the El Hardin detective agency in hopes of running the criminal down. Other friends say that they believe Neal committed suicide. Neal had been in ill health for several months and is said to have been melancholy for weeks. No weapon, however, with which he could have shot himself was found near the place where the body was discovered. Neal's four children spent the city attending a fair in Guthrie Center. Mrs. Neal remained at home with her children, and she missed absence from the house, she went out into the corn field in which she had seen him last, and found him lying face downward on the ground. Blood was streaming from a wound on his arm. Neal rushed to a neighbor's home and told of the tragedy. Friends hurried to the scene, and, finding that the man was dead, called the coroner. A search for a weapon was made but no evidence was found. Neal was about 50 years of age and had lived on the farm near Bagley for the greater part of his life. His father was one of the earliest settlers of the county. It is thought that he was killed by a bullet fired by a hunter some distance away. The farmer was well liked in the community. If murder was committed the object remains a mystery, as the man was not known to have an enemy. Bagley.—A trampled clump of bushes near where the body of Charles Neal was found in his corpse is thought to have proven beyond a doubt that he was murdered. The suspect had been the hiding place of the assassin, the tops of a number having been cut off so that he would have an unobstructed shot at his victim. The authorities refuse to give out any information regarding their discoveries, and Neal's relatives, and the details, maintain that he was murdered. The bloodhounds brought here by Ell Hardin from Des Moines followed a trail from the trampled bushes to the road, and then were suddenly taken off. Detective Hardin said that he has discovered all that was necessary. So far as known, no motive for the crime has been established, although the actias of the authorities indicate that they believe it was prompted by revenge. It was first thought that robbery might have been the motive, as Neal was known to carry consuls' weapons. The finding of $300 in cash in his pockets disproved this theory. ASK STATE FOR RICE LAKE. Want Rice Lake Saved From the Work of the Brooders Forest City—Public-minded citizens of Lake Mills and vicinity are bestring themselves to save Rice Lake, a beautiful little body of water lying a few miles south of that town which it has been proposed to drain in the construction of the big Winnebago-Worth drainage canal. At a recent mass meeting held in the opera house at Lake Mills a committee consisting of N. C. Brun, D. N. Hill and E. T. Ryan was appointed to investigate the advisability of preserving the lake. This committee in turn appointed a committee of ten gentlemen who will go before the state legislature to ask an appropriation to be used to meet the expense of dredging the lake. Thus the lake would be deepened and made permanent as a summer resort for the people of the east side of the lake consists of the following: Henry Thompson, O. N. Styke, N. C. Brun, N. I. Nelson, O.

Agitation looking towards the preservation of Rice Lake has been strong in Lake Mills for the past two years and has taken definite shape in the recent action of her leading citizens.

I used to suffer the most acute agony or three years that I had kidney trouble I passed about 2½ pounds of gravel and passed an amputation in the urine. haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack, and had the other usual symptoms of kidney trouble—lassitude, headache, pain in the back, urinary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have also passed gravel stones that I passed, but that is one-quarter of the whole number.

WHO PAID FOR THE DRINKS? Endless Chain Operated by Thirsty Men on the Mexican Border. "Now, here is the best yarn of the lot and a good puzzle for the Sunday papers to print," said the man with the alkali in his whiskers, when he had settled down in the hotel lobby after a long day on the rubberneck wagon. Several years ago American silver coin in Mexico was on the same basis as Mexican silver was at that time and still is in the states; it passed at half its face value. Drinks in El Paso and in Junales, the Mexican town across the line, were a bit spice or 12% cents, as you easterners would say. Drinks in El Paso and in El Paso could go into a drinking emporium and buy a drink, paying for it with an American quarter. The bartender would hand him back a Mexican quarter, which was, of course, worth 12% cents in Texas. "Then with this Mexican quarter in his hand the citizen could cross the bridge to Junales and there buy an emporium to buy his Mexican quarter on the bar. "If the Greaser barkeep should give him in charge an American quarter worth 12% cents in Mexico the joyous citizen could return to Uscue Sam's house," he said. "Now, the question is: Who paid for those drinks?" N. Y. Sun. RIGHT HOME. Doctor Recommends Postum from Personal Test.

I have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and part of the time was unable to attend to my business. "I was a moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Postum instead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum. "I am prescribing it now in cases of stokespeak especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach. "When made right it has a much better flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer of the system. I shall continue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to.

Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cucicura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little nose was worse as clear as a new-born babies.

THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies; those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many mills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of mills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, obtaining nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.

RHEUMATIC PAINS RHEUMATIC PAINS Disappear When Dr. Williamame Pill Purity Pills Purify the Blood and Heal Infamed Tissues. Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, caused by the failure of the body to carry off certain poisons. External applications are of use only in securing temporary relief from pain—the cure for rheumatism lies in purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Impster street, Sandy Hill, N.Y., was the nurse rheumatism from the time she was sixteen. She says, "It first appeared in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist. It became a regular thing that I would be laid up all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hands, hips, feet and shoulders. My hands were all puffed up and my feet were aching, children's sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out the pain was so intense. "For several winters I was under the doctor's care and while his medicine relieved the pain for a little while there seemed no prospect for a permanent cure. I was confined to my bed, off me on, for weeks at a time. My limbs swelled dreadfully at times and I was reduced almost to nothing. I was taken to the friend, 1898, upon the advice of the friend. I began to use Dr Williams' Pink Pills. At that time I wasn't able to do anything and could barely eat enough to keep alive. I felt a change for the better in about a month. I began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course I kept on the treatment, using care in my diet, and in about three months I was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my own work. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Brown by driving the rheumatic psoas out of her blood. But you must get the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, sold by all drugsists and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. "You say he has grown winkers since last you saw him?" "Yes."

SPREADING OF SCARLET FEVER Infectious Agent Retains Its Vitality For Incredible Time. In a farmhouse in one of the New England states a case of scarlet fever unexpectedly developed not long ago. On seeking for its origin, the physician found that some old cotton quilts laid away in the garret for years, had recently been taken down and aired and put to use by the family. These bed coverings, it was remembered, had been put away after a siege of this disease. This is only one of many instances that could be related to how show long the infectious agent retains its vitality and how common a thing it is for scarlet fever to be disseminated by bedding; and other objects. These quilts should have been burned as soon as the first patients had recovered. The children of a certain physician were one day allower to unlock an antique secretary that had not been opened for years. In it they found tresseg of hair that had been cut from the head of children who had died twenty years before of scarlet fever. In a few days they were both stricken with this dread disease. The ease with which this disease is disseminated is appalling. It has been known to be spread to a neighboring house simply from the airing of bed clothing in a window. Infected bed clothing should never be washed with any other. The disease has been transmitted in this way. A bouquet of flowers that was sent from a scarlet fever room to a hospital carried the disease.—Emma E Walker in God House-keeping. HE IS THE TALLEST SOLDIER Lieutenant in Kaiser's Bodyguard in Over Seven Feet Tall. Undoubtedly the tallest soldier in the world is Josef Handel, who has recently been made a lieutenant in the kaiser's famous bodyguard. During the past year and before he became a soldier he was exhibited under the simple name of "der lange Josef" in the Berlin Panopitikon and 22 places of interest in the large cities of Germany as the tallest youth on earth, a distinction to which he is easily entitled, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Handel is not 22 years old, yet he stands 7 feet 8 inches in his stockings. Though he did not hesitate a moment when the kaiser called him to his bodyguard in Potsdam. He would never have been given the honor if the kaiser's physicians had not pronounced him perfectly proportioned physically and of sound health. A remarkable fact is that Handel's parents, who live in Leipzig, are people of ordinary size, as are also his brothers and sisters, of whom there are seven. Handel makes a picturesque figure in his guard uniform and the high helmet makes him look a veritable Gollath. Frederick the Great would have given his best pipe to have added such a giant to his guard of tall soldiers.

Hope of Philadelphia charges a phonograph with the word of praise she wants the parrot to learn, and then shuts him in a room alone with the machine.

Horses In Shrimp Fishing Horses play an important part in shrimp fishing along the Belgian coast. A procession of weather-beat en fishermen starts from the shore, each man mounted on the back of a trained horse, dragging the triangular purse-shaped net, which scoops in the shrimps as it passes over the sands. These fishermen on horseback frequently make hauls of several hundred weight in a single trip. Frozen Meat. Frozen meat will keep any length of time. It undergoes a change, however, and is of the quality of second rate meat after long staying in coldorage.

Useless Advice to Soldiers. The London News calls attention to the fact that when the building that is now Wellington barracks, Dublin, was a jail it had the words "Cease to do Evil—Learn to do Well," chiselled over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorities perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases, bad the words removed. With Only One Tos. It is not generally known that the small feet of Chinese ladies have commonly but one toe. This is, however, the fact. The great toe of the females of the first rank, and some of the inferior classes also, is the only one left to act with any freedom; the rest are doubled down under the foot in their tenderest infancy, and retained by compressed and tight bandages till they unite with, and are buried in, the sole. Privileges of Lady Mayoress. Among the numerous privileges employed by the lady mayoress of London during her husband's year of office is that of "entree" at court.
