MIDLAND CHAUTAUQUA. The above named association has been organized for a number years and they hold an annual session every year which has always been well attended, as they have provided good speakers and other musical attractions. A number of our prominent citizens are members of this association, but the management is under the direction of the Midland Lyceum Bureau of which A. D. Snyder is President; Ford Howell, Secretary and Holladay and Slocum Chautauqua managee. The Bystander wants to say to the president and managers, in previous years we have always endorsed their selections of speakers and our columns have been at their disposal to advertise their meetings, but we were surprised on receiving one of their programs last week and on looking through it seen that they had secured "Pitchfork" Tillman as one of their speakers, the man who tells more falsehoods than any other person who delivers lectures. But the President, Mr; Snyder says "we are in it for the money." We have always thought that an association like this was to seek elevation, both from a truthful, moral and intellectual standpoint, but if the officers of the Midland Chautauqua Association don't give their manager some instructions as to what kind of speakers to select they will find the names of Harry Orchard, Steve Adams or Evelyne Thaw on their program, as their managers are "in it for the money;" get any one who will draw a crowd even if he don't tell the truth. The Bystander is not going to attempt to keep any one from attending these lectures, because this is a free country, and you make your own money and can spend it for whatever you wish. But we don't believe any Afro-American of either sex will aid any association, either by their presence or financial aid, when they secure such a person as Tillman or his followers to deliver lectures. If you don't know who the officers and board of directors are of this association it would be a good idea to look them up and then you will know what citizens are interested in such an association. It is now the time of year for excursions, picnics vacations etc., and they are all very nice, but dont forget that winter will return which increases the cost of living, and some money saved now will be of more value in purchasing coal at that time than buying so many cool drinks during the summer months. CLEAN CLOTHES SHOP 310 West Grand Ave. O. B. RIVERS, PROPRIETOR. Dry Cleaning, Dueling and, Pressing of Ladies' and Gents' Clothing. REPAIRING NEATLY DONE. Senator J. T. Morgan is no more, and if some more of the southern members of the upper house of Congress were compelled to take a vacation from that body we don't believe any of our race would shed many tears, unless they were for joy. The "Brownsville affair" is not yet over, the committee has adjourned until Congress meets again, at which time the investigating will be resumed. No doubt it is safe to say that some of the candidates for President wish that this thing was over with. That "affair" is something like a small ravine, the farther it goes the size keeps increasing until at last it is absorbed by a larger homologous body. We are anxiously awaiting for the verdict of that committee. The Buxton Gazette has a new editor in the person of A. L. DeMond. It has been published for nearly four years and during that time several persons have been wielding the editorial pen. In his "greetings" in the last issue the present editor gave some salient facts. There were some changes in the 'make up' of the paper which is very commendable. We welcome Bro. DeMond to the journalistic field and wish him success. With only two papers published in this state by Afro-Americans we hope for continued and increased prosperity. SOUTH NEGRO'S FRIEND So Says Henry Watterson in Address to Students of Louisville, School. GREAT PROGRESS IS MADE Louisville, Ky., June 14.—"I want nothing for myself or my children which I am not willing to give you and your children," declared Henry Watterson to-night addressing the Negroes of the Eckstein Norton Institution at their commencement exercises. "I passed many of my boyhood days upon a plantation in Tennessee, where slavery existed in its complete, but also under its better aspects and conditions," said Mr. Watterson. "From the earliest dawnings of intelligence, which I can remember, the system seemed to me monstrous. If slavery is not wrong," said Lincoln, nothing is wrong. So I thought, and so I think. Thousands of men fought and fell on the confederate side in the war of sections, who believed the same thing." Mr. Watterson expressed great sympathy for the struggles of the black people of the South. On this point he said: "I must tell you, after forty years experience and observation and reflection, that I think we began wrong. We put the cart before the horse. Three millions of poor black people, with some centuries of abject slavery and many ages of barbaric night behind them, were not equal to using the freedom that came to them so suddenly, and especially the ballot, with prudence and intelligence. How could they? I don't blame them in the least. On the contrary, I sometimes wonder at self-resraint. "I stand here tonight to declare that the world has never witnessed such progress from darkness to light as that we see in those districts of the South where the Negro has had a decent opportunity for self-development. 'There are regions north and west which never knew slavery and were a unit for the Union where the Negro is refused admittance. He is told to move on. He is what the President described the other day as 'an undesirable citizen'. Turn southward; plenty both of work and wages for all who bring tranquil minds and willing hands. Bad people, slothful people, get on nowhere; but nowhere on the habitable globe has the liberated slave fared so well, nowhere has he so fain an outlook as in the southern states of North America. "Why? Because we know one another and because, no matter what anybody says to the contrary, there is a common bond of sympathy between us." Odd Fellows Session. (Special to the Bystander). Davenport, Iowa, June 15. The twenty-fifth annual session of the G. U. O. of O. F, of Iowa was held here last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The first session was held at the hall of the local lodge, 221 East Fourth street. The district G. M., J. S. James, opened the lodge with most all the Grand officers in their respective offices.

Holmes responded; then Mr. Eugene Green delivered an interesting address on behalf of the local members, and Miss Mattie Thomas respond in behalf of the Household, No. 1016, after which they adjourned until 2 o'clock when the secret and executive session was held.

Harper-Deputy District Grand Master—M. Berber. District Grand Treasurer—A. G. Rhodes. Grand Secretary—Harry McCraven. District Grand Director—J. S. James. At 2:30 p. m. all the members of Eureka lodge, Moline lodge and Household and visitors from Buxton assembled at the hall on East Fourth street for a grand parade. With the Buxton Concert band in the lead they marched along Fourth to Perry, down Perry to Second, west on Second to Scott, up Scott to Third, east on Third to Brady, up Brady to Fifth and along Fifth to the Armory hall. After the grand parade, which was highly complimented by all, the famous Buxton band serenaded the office of the two daily papers. In the evening was held the grand ball, the final climax to the session, where more than 300 gathered. It was a great session and bespeak much for the intelligent manner that the local Davenport lodge and friends entertained this great order. Next session will be held at Buxton.

The sad news comes to us from Cincinnati, Ohio announces the death of the Rev. J. D. Underwood, Ph. D. He was sick but a week. Dr. Underwood was well known in the North, West and this state, he having pasted at St. Paul, Minn., Ft. Madison and Des Moines of this state, his last charge was the Union Baptist church of Springfield, he resigned to accept of the Deanship of McKinley University Theological Department of Vinceennes, Ind.

Samples free at all drug tores. After all, is it as much fun to win as to roast the mumple? The chief trouble with the wheat market is the speculative bug. A Chicago chemist gave six reasons for his suicide, but cowardice was not among the number. The Detroit girl who has been thrice wedded to the same husband has no end of perseverance. New York has a woman stone cutter. Men will be particular about giving her the marble heart. The Infante Alfonso's names appear to be sufficiently numerous and for middable to keep him off the cigar boxes. It is consoling to realize that sunshine can still be counted upon to follow clouds and rain if we wait long enough. "What is whisky?" asks the Washington Herald. Now will there be a rush of obliging officers to incriminate themselves? A cry of "Mice" broke up a woman suprathetist at Wimbledon in England. Is there no limit to masculine deprivacy? As between aerial and submarine navigation, in their present stage of development, the prudent person still prefers hoofing it. It seems to be settled that both the United States and Mexico want peace down in Central America, and that they will not have to fight for it. It is a serious charge to say that the women do too much talking through the telephone. Do they hinder other women from using the wires? Persons with matrimonial experience will indorse Rev. Mr. Philpitt's dictum that the cheerful heart comes first in Wifely qualities and the clean house afterward. Raw eggs and sweet milk, taken in large and frequent doses, is the new cure for tuberculosis. Wouldn't be so bad if the raw eggs could be put up in capsule or powder form. Two Million Russians are starving. The rest of the Russians have troubles of other kinds. If we were the ear we could not help feeling that we were doing a mighty poor job of governing. A bureau is to be established for the purpose of aiding tramps. The tramps will consider it a failure if it does not limit itself to the business of providing free meals and wearing apparel. New York is to spend $100,000 for free concerts on nirsa and in parks this summer. There is no city except London where so much free music is supplied, and the outlay this year will be larger than ever. Mr. Schwab says we shall have to throw away our expensive steel rails and put in new ones of nickel steel. If the capitalization of some of the roads was not so moist they could afford to put in a gold-plated roadbed. If there are 38,000 men working on the Panama canal, and they are digging something like 1,000,000 cubic yards a month, each man apparently digs something like a cubic yard a day. Of course, however, a good many of the 38,000 never lift an ounce of dirt. It is probable that Maurice Francis Egan, who writes poetry for the magazines, will be appointed minister toombie. It would be a good joke on Amedicus who thinks there are no poets in America, if the President would make it a point when the next ambassador to the Court of St. James is appointed to select some good, steady poet for the job. Fine old language, the Latin. Fine new slang, our own. We say, to-day, when a man is knocked down and out "He's got his." The Romans, bo holding the dying gladiator, pierced by the victor's blade, cried out across the arena, "Habet." And they're practically and almost literally the same thing. Statistics issued at the close of the year 100% show that there were in use in the United States alone more than 7,000,000 telephones, and of a little over 6,000,000 miles of wire used for telephone service. The telephone industry gives employment to 90,000 persons in the United States, an increase of 171 per cent in six years, while during the same period the number of stations has increased 239 per cent and the wire mileage 349 per cent. Rev. Dr. Akes's plea for a Christie-centric revival staggers his hearers a bit, but they may get at his meaning in time. The distinguished English preacher, like one of his eminent countrymen, evidently delights to indulge in terminological exactitudes. Dr. Eastwood, an eminent English authority connected with the Royal Commission of Tuberculosis, says that clearly one of the most important steps in fighting the scourge of consumption is to keep a watchful eye on the milk supply. Dr. Earp's motto for after-dinner speakers that "It is better that a man should be a five-minute hit than a 20-minute one," should be inscribed in gold letters as ware used for banquets. And it would not be amiss to put it on the cutlery, the table linen and the furniture. Manager Hibbard of the telephone company complains that women talk too much over the telephone. Other men, says the Chicago Daily News, have more sweeping statements in regard to women's conversational powers. IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. TO ARREST MRS. LADD. ROB SAFE AND FIRE TOWN. She Disturbs Neighbors With Her Town of Lovilia Suffers Disastrous Curse of Mission. Des Moines—Charging her with disturbing the public peace with loud and unseemly noises, an information has been filed against Mrs. Scott M. Ladd, wife of the supreme court judge, by Harry Gate, 500 Monroe street. The papers were placed in the hands of Officer Shaffer and he immediately went to the Ladd home to serve them. It was discovered that Mrs. Ladd had left a few hours previous to visit relatives in Sloux City. She will be gone a week or ten days. Mrs. Ladd conducts a mission at South Fifth and Monroe High School to aggregate three nights a week and keep the entire neighborhood aroused until long after midnight. It is said by some that the meetings at times hold over until daybreak. During the time of the services there is a continual shouting and moaning of convers. The Sunday evening service was attended by Dr. W. A. Guild, Rev. William B. Gage and Probation Officer Lillian Bathews. They report which were not known to exist in the entire meeting. With Mrs. Ladd and her leutenant, the meetings open with what they call a song service. This consists of weird chanting of songs, which soon have a peculiar effect upon certs, and their system is sensitive, and have a high tension that they begin to twitch and throw themselves to the floor, wallow there for a time and then seem to drop in a semi-conscious condition, and when awake are claimed to be endowed with the "power of the tongue," and are able to make mutterings, said to be heard and repeated from the mouth of God. CORNELL DEBT WIPED OUT. Last Dollar Owed by Mt. Vernon College is Paid. Mount Vernon—Cornell college is free from debt. What has been owed has been wiped out entirely. For some years a troublesome debt has been growing, which originated with the purchase of Ash Park for athletic purposes, and of the Goodell farm, which was purchased to enlarge the campus. The debt has been added to by current expenses, including the remodeling of $'ence hans' school in years $144,000. The trustees at the annual meeting of 1906 resolved that this debt must be wiped out. Subscriptions began to be received, and now the last dollar of the debt has been paid. The trustees claimed the news. A large crowd of citizens assembled on the main street, a large bonfire was lighted, and speeches were made by Dr. H. C. Stuntz, President King, College Roanoke, and others. The debt raisling has created a wide spread interest, and it is the general opinion that Cornell college is entering upon a period of greater prosperity than it has withdrawn an investment that has added $26,000 to its endowment funds during the year. JEALOUSY CAUSES MURDER Soldier at Ft. Des Moines Fatally Staba Comrade. Des Moines.—Because of jealousies between two Eleventh cavalry troopers over attention paid a lady friend, Private James A. Keeley of Troop B was stabbed to death by Private W. H. Johnson of Troop C after a brief quarrel.

Johnson, the slayer, immediately gave himself up to postofficials and was placed in custody. BLUFF TO SHOT DISASTROUS Creston Man Replies With A Charge of Bird Shot Creston.-Chas. McDonald will make no more rash blasts at shooting George Dow. It developed in court that Dow filled McDonald's side full of bird shot, the latter being fairly well peppered with the minute missile. At the preliminary hearing, the charge of assault with intent to commit murder held against Dow was dismissed and the prisoner released. The information was filed by McDonald. It developed that McDonald had pointed a gun at Dow and was threatening to shoot when Dow let fly. The gun did not dunce, the attacking was the result of long standing trouble. DES MOINES PLAN WINS Reform Measure Has Good Majority On Its Side. Des Moines—The Des Moines plan for government of the city by a commission was carried at the special election. It was not a victory for one section of the city over another; it was a victory for the whole of the city, for more than half the precincts it owned, for the friends of the new system of municipal government and its opponents approached the river with less than 30 majority against it. One product in West Des Moines went to the city, and 26,299 majority for it in a total of 19,463, was well scattered over the whole of the community. It was not a sectional victory.

The insurance is small and in a number of cases there was none. The flames were first discovered in the house of D. H. House shortly after 1 o'clock. They spread quickly and soon enveloped the United Brethren parsonage, the postoffice and other buildings. The safe in the office of Mr. Rouse was broken quickly and soon the robbers looted the store before they fired the structure. Officers will be put on the affair and an effort made to run down the perpetrators of the outrage. The parsonage and the postoffice were both damaged and just recently completed. The heat was so intense that it cracked every plate glass on the opposite side of the street. A quantity of mail was burned, but how much and of what nature is not known, as Postmaster J. H. Houser made a thorough examination as if In one part of the burned hardware store was a gas plant which furnishes light and heat for several business houses and residents of the city and owing to the fact that the gas is manufactured from gasoline, persons are to work around the burning structure. The fire from the hardware ignited the residence of v. R. Pierce and the post office, and from there took everything in its path to the U. B. church, which was saved by heroe work by men, women, boys and girls B. O'Bryan, O'Bryan Froes, and the U. B. parsonage were also burned to the ground.

FAILED IN SMALL THINGS. Congressman Evidently Was No Here to His Wife. There is a certain congressman who, whatever authority he may hold in the council of state, is of comparatively minor importance in his own household. Indeed, it has been an kindly man, its wife is "the whole thing" in their establishment. Representative and Mrs. Blank had been to Baltimore one afternoon. When they left the train at Washington, on their return, Mrs. Blank discovered that her umbrella, which had been intrusted to the care of her husband, was missing. "Where's my umbrella?" she demanded. "I am afraid I forgot it, my dear," meekly answered the congressman. "I must still be in the train." "In the train!" snorted the lady. "And to think that the affairs of the nation are intrusted to a man who doesn't know enough to take care of a woman's umbrella!"—Success Magasin. PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE. Benefits from New Law, Which Remains Substantially Unchanged. Through the influence of Gov. Hughes, the New York Legislature decided to make no radical changes in the new insurance law. It was pointed out by Gov. Hughes that the New York law has already accomplished widespread reforms, with proportionate benefits to policymakers, and that it should be a thorough trial for any amending the law seriously. It is estimated that the cost of the mismanagement of the past did not average more than 20 cents to each policymaker, while the benefits to present and future policymakers will amount to many times more and be cumulative besides. The speed craze of the big companies and the excessive cost of securing new business was the most extravantant evil of the old management. The cost of new business has already been greatly reduced, along with other economics. The showing made by the Equitable Life Assurance Society in its report for 1906 was a strong argument against meddling with the new law. In the Equitable alone there was a saving of over $2,000,000 in expenses, besides an increase in the income from the Society's economic accounting. The rationale of the Equitable's total expenses to its total income was 19.42% in 1904, 17.38% in 1905, and only 14.88% in 1906. The dividends paid to Equitable policyholders in 1906 amounted to $7,289.734, which was an increase of more than 9% over 1905. While the Equitable made a better showing than any other big company, all reported radical economic unpredictability and a legislative wisely decided to leave the law substantially as it stands. SYMPATHY FOR THE FISH Upton Sinclair, in an address before a body of Chicago Socialists, said of charity: "The average charity, the charity of the rich, seems rather futile to me. The rich oppress the poor enormously, then they help them slightly. It is like the young lady angler. "Why, said a man to this young lady, do you always carry a bottle of liniment with you on your fishing excursions?" She sighed "I am sorry, she said plaintively, for the poor little fish. And so, when I take one off the hook, I always rub its cut mouth with some liliment." Prizea for Tanned Faces. With the object of encouraging the pupils of the Farnham grammar school to spend their recent holiday in the open air as much as possible, the Rev.

Tea drinking frequently affects people as badly as coffee. A lady in Salisbury, Md., said that she was compelled to abandon the use of coffee a good many years ago, because it threatened to ruin her health and that she went over to tea drinking, but finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost twenty-five pounds and no food seemed to agree with her. She said. As this time I was induced to take a meal of food drink, Postum, and was so much pleased with the results that I have never been without it since. I commenced to improve at once, regained my twenty-five pounds of flesh and went some beyond my usual weight. "I know Postum to be good, pure, and healthful, and there never was an article, and never will be, I believe, that does so surely take the place of coffee, as Postum Food Coffee. The beauty of it all is that it is satisfying and provides nourishing. I feel as if I could not stand to be too loud." Road "The Road to Willyville," in pike "There's a Reason."

Victims Are Horribly Diffigured— Wild Excitement Prevails Among Families of the Miners. Seranton, Pa.—Seven men were killed outright and two others seriously injured in two explosions of mine gas in the Johnson No. 1 mine at Priceburg late Tuesday. The first explosion, which occurred about three o'clock, was caused by the carelessness of a door handler who, by leaving the door open, allowed gas to leak in the workings. One man was injured as a result of this. The second explosion which resulted in the death of seven men and the injury of another, occurred about five o'clock and resulted from the ignition of the deadly fire damp which accumulated after the first explosion. A runner who was near the foot of the shaft when the second explosion occurred gave the alarm and a rescue party hurried to the scene of the ex- News of the explosion spread rapidly through the village of Priceburg, a mining hamlet just north of Scranton, and hundreds of wives, children and other relatives of those who are employed in the mine hurried to the breaker. So badly disfigured the remains of those killed, the wives and children killed the time was impossible and the wildest excitement prevailed. Harsh measures had to be pursued by the mine officials to keep the crowds back, and hundreds followed the ambulances to underaking establishments. It was with the greatest difficulty that any authentic news of the affair could be learned, because of the excitement that prevailed. About 1,500 men work in the mine, as no account is given of those who were before the explosion it is impossible to determine, until the rescuing party returns, if the present death list is complete.

Kansas City, Mo.-The Missouri two-cent passenger fare act will go into effect at six a. m. on Wednesday next, and be given a three-month trial. If at the end of that time the rate is found to be unremunerative the law's enforcement can be fought in the courts by the railroads. The state officials are temporarily enjoined from enforcing the minimum freight rate law and the law will be argued against the federal court. Smith McPherson in the United States district court here Monday afternoon, after handing down an opinion maintaining the court's jurisdiction in the premises, ordered the promulgation of the above stated facts, which had been agreed to by the attorneys for the state and the 18 Missouri railroads involved. The court in its decision had suggested that the twocent fare should be first given a practical trial before injunction proceedings preventing its enforcement be considered. Mr. Hadley, attorney general, said regarding the twocent bill: "If at the end of three months the railroads want to litigate the reasonableness of these rates, the matter of the jurisdiction of the state will be asked. The question will be fought out and the state has lost none of its rights and advantages. "The injunction suits that I have brought against the railroad companies on the passenger rates in the state courts will stand."

Cleveland Artist Game Back with a Counter Proposition. A local newspaper artist got a letter one day from a man over in Indiana who said he was making a collection of sketches, says the Cleveland Plain Advisor. "I have drawings from well known newspaper artists in nearly every state in the union," the Indiana man wrote, "but I have none from Ohio. I have seen some of your work and I think it is good. You will send me some little sketch for my collection I will call them." The artist noticed from the letterhead that the Indiana man was connected with a bank in one of the small towns in the state of literature. That gave him a hunch, and he wrote back as follows: "I am making a collection of ten dollar bills. I haven't secured specimens from every state in the union, but I have several tens and a few twenties, and I am particularly anxious to have a ten dollar bill from Indiana. I notice that you are employed in a place where ten dollar bills are kept, and if you send me one for my collection I shall be glad to have it framed."

Bowles.) As he turned the corner the new rector's heart was beating. There was nothing formidable about the great gabled house; yet, as he walked up the drive his agitation increased. There was a glimpse of pink muslin on the veranda that was most disquieting. For, his sad heart told him, he could no longer regulate his own dreams, to say nothing of his rebellious spirit; else why should he, waking and sleeping, be dreaming of some one whom he was doomed forever to watch while she moved in that other world—her world—needed by a train However, he went on, and a bend in the drive revealed Miss Betty Sheridan standing on a chair training roses. The picture, which would have agitated even a quiet heart, caused the rector to contemplate retreat. Instead, being a brave man, he stood at the foot of the steps and said gently: "Good morning, Miss Betty." Betty looked down and nodded bewitchingly, and stopped to extend her hand over the back of the chair. "You'll forgive my not getting down?" she asked. "This is a critical moment. Max, please find Mr. Armory a chair." From the vine-covered plaza came forth a big, languid figure, who gave the final touch to the unseasiness of the rector. Since his coming to the parish of St. Luke's, three months before, and since he had first seen Betty Sheridan on the same day, he had felt a secret and most un-Christian repugnance for this big cavalier, who seemed always within sound of her voice. "How do, Mr. Armory?" said the big cavalier in fannies, looking uncomfortably handsome—uncomfortably to the rector. "Come up and be cool. It's a pretty warm morning." "Very," admitted the rector. "Ah—very." "You ought not to be so busy this warm weather," volunteered Betty—and Betty was never so alluring as when she advised people for their own good. "My duties are my pleasures," said the rector. "This, for instance, Miss Sheridan." This big cavailer in flannels, with hands that one instantly knew could send a ball over a net or across a course with unerring stroke, was very like what the rector himself dreamed in his college days of becoming. This cavailer was one of her world—of Betty Sheridan's world. But to the rector had come the struggle that had ended in his taking orders, and some way since his coming to this somewhat distracted parish there had been no time to lift either his golf sticks or his folls from their long rest. Instead, there had been a ceaseless round of visits—which reminded him: "Miss Betty," he said. "I have come to enlist your sympathy this morning." Poor Agnes has had a severe fall. "She will be quite helpless, they fear, for months." The rose bough flew up with a little puff of fragrance, and Betty stepped down from the chair, and sat opposite the rector. "Oh," she said, "the poor girl! What will they do? I'll go see her today." "I thought that you would," said the rector, with a little catch in his breath. Betty's face was even more beautiful when she was in earnest than when she was mocking. "Why, yes," said the big cavalier in the doorway; "I'll drive you over after luncheon, Betty. But you have to be back for the tennis finals, you know." "Yes, Max," said Betty, without looking at him. "And will you ask your mother if we may have some of her roses, too? I am so sorry, Mr. Arlory. We will not fail you." The Reverend Mr. Armory was ashamed of his sinful rebellion at that "we." The very fact that Betty did not look at the big cavalier when he talked, and that she ordered him about and took him and his mother's roses for granted, disturbed the rector's peace of mind. Sitting beside poor Agnes Chapman that afternoon, the Reverend Mr. Armory experienced sore trials of the spirit. His heart, which went out to the stricken girl, at the same time bounded so suddenly at the lightest footfall outside that he was deeply in doubt as to his right to be there at all, engaged in ministrations. When at last Betty appeared in the doorway with her arms filled with roses, not even the memory of whose mother's roses they were could put out the sudden passionate joy in the rector's eyes. He sat mutely near while Betty bent over the sick girl, and Betty's hair in the sun, Betty's little hand on the coarse spread, Betty's wonderful voice filled the shabby room with wonder. The Reverend Mr. Armory walked to the window to hide his emotion. And outside, stepping leisurely in the beating sun of the steep little street, his eye fell upon a bay horse and a low phaeton and the big cavalier—all waiting patiently for Betty. The rector then turned from the window, his eyes hardening. "Don't let us detain you too long, Miss Sheridan," he said evenly. "It is very hot in the street—for your friend to wait. Betty looked up wonderingly. "Who—Max?" she said. "Oh—Max." Then she lifted her chin a little in displeased surprise. "Very well," she said, "I will come some other time when I find Agnes alone." She was gone in a moment and the room was stuffy and sunny and unbearable as before, and the phaeton wheels were clattering down the rough street. Horror at his sinful jealousy and petty speech possessed the rector, and he turned to the poor thin face on the pillow in a passion of remorse. The rector passed his own gate that night and went on to the chapel. He was suddenly profoundly disturbed as to his own spiritual condition. When had he ever harbored such sinful thoughts toward another? thoughts It was still and cool in the dim little chapel. The rector sank down in a pew and buried his face in his hands, most of the burden was greater than he could bear, he thought, as he looked ahead on the dreary days of joyless toll. For, his sad heart told him, he could no longer regulate his own dreams, to say nothing of his rebellious spirit; else why should he, waking and sleeping, be dreaming of someone whom he was doomed forever to watch while she moved in that other world—her world—peopled by a train of cavaliers whose interests were like her own. The rector rose suddenly. He had never had the luxury of time for sorrow. He turned to the door, and it opened and Betty came in. She was in white, with roses in her belt, and to the Reverend Mr. Armory she was like an angelic presence in the gray chapel. Her cheeks were flushed and she was in some adorable hesitation. “Mr. Armory,” she said, beseechingly, “I saw you come here—and I came to tell you—I was horrid and stupid this afternoon—you must forgive me—will you?” She held out her hand. Before he knew the rector had taken it in both his own and stood looking down at "You Must Forgive Me—Will You?" her in a humult of thankfulness, and a fear that was sweet, like hope. "It was I," he said brokenly. "You must forgive me. You don't know what your coming there meant to me—you don't know how happy it made me. But then I—the thought that that sort of thing was my whole life to me, and just a sort of interlude to you, made me wretched and rebellious. Don't you see? It made us seem so hopelessly apart. I seemed so outside your world—and I didn't want that. I wanted—" The rector stopped, amazed at his own daring. But Betty did not stop him. She met his eyes, and her own faltered a little, and her hand fluttered in his, and lay still. The rector of St. Marks looked down at her, a great, incredulous dawning in his eyes. "Did you think," said Betty then, a little defiantly, "that I wanted to go away when I did? To leave—to leave there—" Betty said "there," but her tone was "you," and the rector heard. And still he doubled—she was so throbbing with life, so keen in her love for the vague, glittering interests which the big cavalier shared— "Betty," said the rector, almost warningly, "Betty—" But the warning did not even serve himself. He drew her close to him, imprisoning her hands, sumpelling her eyes. "Betty!" he cried, ringingly, "do you know what that means?" Betty's head was hidden, but he heard. "I've known since this afternoon," she said, "when I had to go and play tennis, and leave you there." Had to go and play tennis. Had to go with the big cavalier! Had to leave that stuffy little room—and him! All the silent chapel was suddenly filled with little singing voices that followed them, when, presently, they were in the street, and at the gate of the gabled house. Around the corner was disappearing the big cavalier, and beside him a gown of ruffled blue. Betty laughed suddenly. "That's Charlotte," she said. "We didn't expect her till to-morrow. After she came Max was crazy at having to drive me down to—to you, at Chapman's. But I wanted to come and I made him." "Charlotte?" questioned the rector, in a kind of happy spell. Bettie glanced up wonderingly. "Oh, I forgot that you wouldn't know," she said. "It's my sister Charlotte. They—they are in love, too." "Too!" cried the rector raptur "Too!" cried the rector rapturiously. Great Surgeon In Read Prof. Mostig, who was drowned a few days ago by falling into the Dantele, has long been famous in this country as the discoverer of the use of iodofum in medicine. He was without doubt one of the greatest surgeons of the present era. Born of poor parents, he practically educated himself, and his fearful struggle against poverty in his early days made him the firm friend of those in humble walks of life. He would perform an operation upon a poor man absolutely without fee of any kind. Indeed, it is said that at least half the operations he carried out were done out of charity. Not long since he traveled 400 miles in response to an appeal to perform an operation on the wife of a man who had once been in his service, and when his task was over and the patient placed in charge of the local doctor he walked out of the cotage and home again before the man could thank him, much less offer a fee. Russia seems determined to find out for itself whether or not it is dangerous to sit on the safety valve. WORKING WOMEN, WHAT THEY SHOULD KNOW ```markdown ``` Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fall. The Camera Flendt Wanderlust As the sun day by day ascends the leavens and the acetic value of his high increases, rhapsodizes the editor of the American Amateur Photographer, there seizes us once more the error of the enthusiast. From the high shelf down comes the camera, the plate holders are loaded, and we tramp across the green fields looking for pictures—or pretending to. For half the cause of our wandering has naught to do with the black box we carry with us. The primitive instinct for change, the ancestral wanderlust, it is, that has seized us and driven us forth to nature. BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE. Physician Called It Eczema in Worst Form—Patient Despaired of Cure—Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of —— After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to discontinue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

WORKING WHAT THEY S MR5.SADIE ABBOTT Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitions that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy. "They are truly 'done' and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of a few years, the back begins to ache, there is a displacement, inflammation or ulceration of the abdominal organs, a female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, is the exact medicine a woman needs whose strength is overtaxed. It keeps the feminine organs in a strong and nourishing position in preparing her childbirth and requiring therefrom it is most efficient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be a good wife and mother. Mrs Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette, Pa. writes; Dear Mrs. Pinkhgm— "I suffered severely with pain every month and also a pain in my left side. My doctor prescribed for me but did me no good; a friend told me I should have Pinkham's plastic compound and I wrote you in regard to my condition. I followed your advice and am a perfectly well woman. The pains have all disappeared and I cannot recommend your medicine too high." Lydia E.

The chief trouble with the wheat market is the speculative bug. A Chicago chemist gave six reasons for his suicide, but cowardice was not among the number. The Detroit girl who has been thrice wedded to the same husband has no end of perseverance. New York has a woman stone cutter. Men will be particular about giving her the marble heart. It is counseling to realize that sun shine can still be counted upon to follow clouds and rain if we wait long enough. "What is whisky?" asks the Washington Herald. Now will there be a rush of obliging editors to incriminate themselves? A cry of "Mice" broke up a woman suffragist at Wimbledon in England. Is there no limit to masculine depravity? As between aerial and submarine navigation, in their present stage of development, the prudent person still prefers hoofing it. It seems to be settled that both the United States and Mexico want peace down in Central America, and that they will not have to fight for it. It is a serious charge to say that the women do too much talking through the telephone. Do they hinder other women from using the wires? Persons with matrimonial experience will indorse Rev. Mr. Philiput's dictum that the cheerful heart comes first in Wifely qualities and the clean house afterward. Raw eggs and sweet milk, taken in large and frequent doses, is the newest cure for tuberculosis. Wouldn't be so bad if the raw eggs could be put up in capsule or powder form.

New York is to spend $100,000 for free concerts on plains and in macks London where so much free music is supplied, and the outlay this year will be larger than ever. Mr. Schwab says we shall have to throw away our expensive steel rails and put in new ones of nickel steel. If the capitalization of some of the roads was not so molt they could afford to put in a gold-plated roadbed. If there are 38,000 men working on the Panama canal, and they are digging something like 1,000,000 cubic yards a month, each man apparently digs something like a cubic yard a day. Of course, however, a good many of the 38,000 never lift an ounce of dirt. It is probable that Maurice Francis Egan, who writes poetry for the magazines, will be appointed minister to Pope. It would be a good joke on Alfred A. Murray, who thinks they are poets in America, if the President would make it a point when the next ambassador to the Court of St. James is appointed to select some good, steady poet for the job. The old language, the Latin. Fine new slang, our own. We say, to-day, when a man is knocked down and out "He's got his." The Romans, ho holding the dytg gladiator, pierced by the victor's blade, cried out across the arena, "Habet." And they're practically and almost literally the same thing. Statistics issued at the close of the year 1906 show that there were in use in the United States alone more than 7,000,000 telephones, and aggregate of a little over 6,000,000 miles of wire used for telephone service. "The telephone industry gives employment to 90,000 persons in the United States, an increase of 171 per cent in six years, while during the same period the number of stations has increased 239 per cent and the wire mileage 349 per cent. Rev. Dr. Aked's plea for a Christie-centric revival staggers his hearers a bit, but they may get at his meaning in time. The distinguished English preacher, like one of his eminent countrymen, evidently delights to indulge in terminological executudes. Dr. Eastwood, an eminent English authority connected with the Royal Commission of Tuberculosis, says that clearly one of the most important steps in fighting the scourge of consumption is to keep a watchful eye on the milk supply. Dr. Earp's motto for after-dinner speakers that "It is better that a man should be a five-minute hit than a 20-minute buster" inscribed in gold letters on all china ware used for banquets. And it would not be amiss to put it on the cutlery, the table linen and the furniture. Manager Hibbard of the telephone company complains that women talk too much over the telephone. Other men, says the Chicago Daily News, even more sweeping statements in order to women's conversational powers. IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Through- out the Commonwealth. TO ARREST MR8. LADD. She Diaturba Neighbors With Her Ouer. "Mission." ROB SAFE AND FIRE TOWN. Town of Lovilia Suffers Disastrou Conflagration. Des Moines—Charging her with disturbing the public peace with loud and unseemly noises, an information has been filed against Mrs. Scott M. Ladd, wife of the supreme court judge, by Harry Gale, 500 Monroe street. The papers were placed in the hands of Officer Shaffer and he immediately went to the Ladd home to serve them. It was discovered that Mrs. Ladd had left a few hours previous to visit relatives in Sloux City. She will be gone a week or ten days. Mrs. Ladd conducts a miles, streets, South Fifth and a mile streets, where he crosses congregate three nights a week and keep the entire neighborhood aroused until long after midnight. It is said by some that the meetings at times hold over until daybreak. During the time of services there is a continuum of noon and the shouting and nooning of convers. The Sunday evening service was attended by Dr. W. A. Guild, Rev. William B. Gage and Probation Officer Lillian Bathews. They report scenes which were not known to exist in the country and were disgusted with the meeting. With Mrs. Ladd and her Houtenant, the meetings open with what they call a song service. This consists of weird chanting of songs, which soon have a peculiar effect upon the concerts, and their music, which is set in a high tension that they begin to twitch and throw themselves to the floor, wallow there for a time and then seem to drop in a semiconscious condition, and when awake are claimed to be endowed with the "power of the tongue," and when awake are claimed to be endowed with utterings said to be heard and repeated from the mouth of God. CORNELL DEBT WIPED OUT. Last Dollar Owed by Mt. Vernon Col- lege is Paid. Mount Vernon — Cornell college is free from debt. What has been owed has been wiped out entirely. For some years a troublesome debt has been growing, which originated with the purchase of Ash Park for athletic purposes, and of the Goodell farm, which was purchased to enlarge the campus. The debt has been added to by current expenses, including the remodeling of $ 12 million he has been paid for, and the sum of $ 124,000. The trustees at their annual meeting of 1906 resolved that this debt must be wiped out. Subscriptions began to be received, and now the last dollar of the debt has been paid. The faculty recently claimed the news. A large crowd of citizens assembled on the main street, a large bonfire was lighted, and speeches were made by Dr. H. C. Stuntz, President Kirkland O. A. Cheney and others. The debt raising has created a wide spread interest, and it is the general opinion that Cornell college is entering upon a period of greater prosperity than ever before. The institution has also added $26,000 to its endowment funds during the year. JEALOUSY CAUSES MURDER Soldier at Ft. Des Moines Fatally Staba Comrade. Des Moles—Because of jealousies between two Eleventh cavalry troopers over attention paid a lady friend, Private James A. Keeley of Troop B was stabbed to death by Private W. H. Johnson of Troop C after a brief quarrel, a result the first militia history of Fort Des Moles is written. The quarrel originated in the waiting apartments of the postoffice just outside the barrack gates and the murder was committed on the doorstep of the postoffice, of pretty Miss Mahef Kail of Carlisle, who was the immediate cause of the entire affair though innocent of any brewing trouble. Johnson, the slayer, immediately gave himself up to postoffices and was placed in custody. BLUEF TO SHOT DISASTROUS Creston Man Replies With A Charge of Bird Shot. Creston.-Chas. McDonald will make no more rash blushes at shooting George Dow. It developed in court that Dow filled McDonald's side full of bird shot, the latter being fairly well peppered with the minute mission. At the preliminary hearing, the charge of assault with intent to commit murder held against Dow was dismissed and the prisoner released. The information was filed by McDonald. It developed that McDonald had pointed a gun at Dow and was threatening to shoot when Dow let fly. The injury is not dangerous. The shootout was the result of long standing trouble. DES MOINES PLAN WINS Reform Measure Has Good Majority On Its Side. Des Moines.—The Des Moines plan for government of the city by a commission was carried at the special election. It was not a victory for one section of the city over another; it was a victory for the whole of the city, for more than half the precedents for the more than half the friends of the new system of municipal government and its opponents approached the river with less than 30 majority against it. One prescript in West Des Moines went against the Des Moines plan, and the other was against it. The river of 10,463 was well scattered over the whole of the community. It was not a sectional victory. Mason City Child Drowened. Mason City. The three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Crosby, was drowned in the Calumus river. The child had gone with his older brother to the river and while the elder, the child, was swimming, the child slipped off the bank into the stream and was drowned Town of Lovilia Suffers Disastrous Confaration Lovilla.—Fire supposed to have been caused by robbers wiped out one-fourth of the business section of this village at an early morning hour, causing a loss of $25,000. The insurance is small and in a number of cases there was none. The flames were first discovered in the house of D. H. Rouss shortly after 1 o'clock. They spread quickly and soon enveloped the United Brethren parsonage, the postoffice and other buildings. The safe in the office of Mr. Rouss was broken open and the robber was killed. The robber hosted the store before they fired the structure. Officers will be put on the affair and an effort made to run down the perpetrators of the outrage. The parsonage and the postoffice were both vacated and just recently completed. The heat was so intense that it cracked every plate glass on the opposite side of the street. A quantity of mail was burned, but how much and of what nature is not known, as Postmaster J. H. Browne made a thorough examination of it. In one part of the burned hardware store was a gas plant which furnishes light and heat for several business houses and residents of the city and owing to the fact that the gas is manufactured from gasoline, the plant is used to work around the burning structure. The fire from the hardware ignited the residence of w. R. Pierce and the post office, and from there took everything in its path to the U. B. church, which was saved by heroes work by men, women, boys and girls in the city. T. B. O'Bryan, O'Bryan Bros, and the U. B. parsonage were also burned to the ground. NEIL MATTHEWS DEAD. Man Who Killed Two Dies in Ft. Madison Prison. Des Moines.—The governor's office has received official announcement that Nell Matthews is dead. Matthews, because of jealousy, went to a house on West Ninth and Scott street and shot and killed Roland Diggs to shoot his own wife, who had gone there for refuge, but shot and killed the two men, and also Mrs. Diggs, who was in bed in the house, sick. Matthews escaped and was at large for weeks, being finally apprehended. He was tried, and the Moines and tried and convicted, and his conviction affirmed by the supreme court. He was committed to the penitentiary at Fort Madison, October 25, 1905, and died May 19, 1907. When committed he was forty- old. The governor's office has not been informed of the cause of his death. Fatally Hurt In Runaway Newton—Unable to control a powerful livery team while out driving, Harry Hanke was thrown from the flying carriage and fatally injured. Three hours later, he were also hurled to the ground but escaped serious injury. Hanke, who is only 19 years old, was driving, and when the horses began running he was thrown from the head. He was thrown on his head and unremonceived all night. All hope for his recovery has been abandoned. Roy Livingston and Miss Short were considerably bruised. The residence part of Newton. himself. Newton—Corporer C. E. Benton an inquest over the body of George Lyle, a rich Newton farmer, who was found dead in his harnay with a bullet through his skull, and found he came to his death by his own hand. He was killed in his harnay, who left a fortune of over 100,000 a phine fhine and deliberately planned his suicide. A few days before he sold 545 acres of rich land to H. Bettman, receiving $45,500 in cash, which he placed in the bank. It is said that the man was killed by a long, also killed himself, Mrs. Lyle is the dead man's second wife. $70,000 Fire at Mason City Mason City City—Fire of unknown origin gutted the Miles Hardware company plant, causing a loss of $4,600. Insurance amply covers the destruction. The Miles hardware plant is one of the largest in this section of the state. It is not known how the ill-fated plant was rapidly and were beyond control before the firemen could do effective work. Mr. Miles is president of the Iowa Mutual Hardware Insurance company convention in Boston. Depot at Manson it Robbed. Manson—The Illinois Municipal depot was robbed of $70.50 in cash, between the hours of 11:30 and 12:30. The entrance was effected by means of skeleton keys, as everything was locked up and in good order when Agent Johnson returned from dinner to sell tickets for the 12:47 train.

FAILED IN SMALL THINGS. Congressman Evidently Was No Here to His Wife. There is a certain congressman who, whatever authority he may hold in the councils of state, is of comparatively minor importance in his own household. Indeed, it has been unkindly intimated that his wife is "the whole thing" in their establishment. Representative and Mrs. Blank had been to Baltimore one afternoon. When they left the train at Washington, on their return, Mrs. Blank discovered that her umbrella, which had been intrusted to the care of her husband, was missing. "Where's my umbrella?" she demeaned. "I'm afraid I forgot it, my dear" meekly answered the congressman. "It must still be in the train." "In the train!" snorted the lady, "And to think that the affairs of the nation are intrusted to a man who doesn't know enough to take care of a woman's umbrella!"—Success Magazine. PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE Benefits from New Law, Which Re mains Substantially Unchanged. Through the influence of Gov. Hughes, the New York Legislature decided to make no radical changes in the new insurance law. It was pointed out by Gov. Hughes that the New York law has already accomplished widespread reforms, with proportionate benefits to policymakers, and that it should be given a thorough trial before it can be seriously considered. It is estimated that the cost of the mismanagement of the past did not average more than 20 cents to each policymaker, while the benefits to present and future policymakers will amount to many times more and be cumulative besides. The speed craze of the big companies and the excessive cost of securing new business was the most extravagant evil of the old management. Under the new law, the cost of insurance has already been greatly reduced, along with other economics. The showing made by the Equitable Life Assurance Society in its report for 1906 was a strong argument against meddling with the new law. In the Equitable alone there was a saving of over $2,000,000 in expenses, besides an increase in the income from the Society's stock count. The ration of the Equitable's total expenses to its total income was 19.42% in 1904, 17.38% in 1905, and only 14.48% in 1906. The dividends paid to Equitable policyholders in 1906 amounted to $7,259,734, which was an increase of 9% over 1905. While the Equitable made a better showing than any other big company, all reported additional contributions to the Legislature wisely decided to leave the law substantially as it stands. SYMPATHY FOR THE FISH. Upton Sinclair's Amazing Parable on Charity of the Rich. Upton Sinclair, in an address before a body of Chicago Socialists, said of charity: "The average charity, the charity of the rich, seems rather futile to me. The rich oppress the poor enormously, then they help them slightly. It is like the young lady angler. "Why," said a man to this young lady, "do you always carry a bottle of limnium with you on your fishing excursions?" She sighed. "I am sorry, she said plaintively 'for the poor little fish. And so, when I take one off the hook, I always rut its cut mouth with some liliment." Prizes for Tanned Faces. With the object of encouraging the pupils of the Farham grammar school to spend their recent holiday in the open air as much as possible, the Rev. S. Priestley, the head-master, offered a cup of tea to the judges with the brown face on. On the pupils reassembling for the summer term 12 were picked out as being the most tanned, and it was announced that the judges had awarded the prize to Foster, the captain of the school. It is understood that Foster declines tea to the other boys the secret of his preparation, if any.—London Globe. The Lie According to Mr. Dooley. "A lie may be as simple as th' thruth.

Tea drinking frequently affects people as badly as coffee. A lady in Sailbury, Md., says that she was compelled to abandon the use of coffee a good many years ago, because it threatened to ruin her health and that she went over to tea drinking, but finally, she had dyspepsia so that she had lost twenty-five pounds and no more seemed to agree with her. She funnished away. As this time I was induced to eat the famous food drink, Postum, and was so pleased with the results that I have never been without it since. I commenced to improve at once, regained my twenty-five pounds of flesh and went some beyond my usual weight. "I know Postum to be good, pure, and healthful, and there never was an article, and never will be, I believe, that does so surely take the place of coffee, as Postum Food Coffee. The beauty of it all is that it is satisfying and provides nourishing. I feel as if I could not gain its praises too loud." Road "The Road to ellville," in pike "There's a Reason."

Victims Are Horribly Disfigured— Wild Excitement Prevails Among Families of the Miners. Scranton, Pa.—Seven men were killed outright and two others seriously injured in two explosions of mine gas in the Johnson No. 1 mine at Priceburg late Tuesday. The first explosion, which occurred about three o'clock, was caused by the carelessness of a doctor who, by mistake, allowed gas to accumulate in the workings. One man was injured as a result of this. The second explosion which resulted in the death of seven men and the injury of another, occurred about five o'clock and resulted from the ignition of the deadly fire damp which accumulated after the first explosion. A runner who was near the foot of the shaft when the second explosion occurred gave the alarm and a rescue party hurried to the scene of the ex- News of the explosion spread rapidly through the village of Priceburg, a mining hamlet just north of Scranton, and hundreds of wives, children and other relatives of those who are employed in the mine hurried to the breaker. So badly disfigured were the remains of those who were killed in the explosion, that it was possible and the wildest excitement prevailed. Harsh measures had to be pursued by the mine officials to keep the crowds back, and hundreds followed the ambulances to underaking establishments. It was with the greatest difficulty that any authentic news of the affair could be learned, because of the excitement that prevailed. About 1,500 men work in the mine, but as no account was kept of those who were killed, the extent of the occurrence it is impossible to determine, until the rescuing party returns, if the present death list is complete. SCHMITZ OUT AS FRISCO MAYOR. Board of Supervisors Name James L. Gallacher to Hia Place. San Francisco. — Under orders of District Attorney William H. Langdon, the board of supervisors adopted a resolution declaring Mayor Eugene Schmitz temporarily unable to perform his official duties and appointing Supervisor James L. Gallagher acting mayor. Gallagher's appointment as acting mayor is only a temporary one. He will only until the supreme court has agreed that he will admit Mayor Schmitz to bail hearing the hearing of his petition for a new trial. Should Schmitz be granted freedom on bail Gallagher will, of course, go out of office at once, for the mayor will no longer be incapacitated for performing the duties of chief executive of the city. Schmitz was given permission by Judge Lawer Tuesday to pay another visit to the offices of his attorneys, but failed in his effort to have the judge in his scope of his absence from the county jail so as to permit him to attend to other than private business. The application recited that the "district attorney is seeking to usurp his office, and it is necessary for him to take steps to prevent it."

TEST FOR LOW FARE LAW. Missouri Statute Will Have Three Months' Trial. Kansas City, Mo.—The Missouri two-cent passenger fare act will go into effect at six a.m. on Wednesday next, and be given a three-month trial. If at the end of that time the rate is found to be unremunerative the law's enforcement can be fought in the courts by the railroads. The state officials are temporarily enjoined from enforcing the maximum freight rate law and the case will be argued later in the court. McPherson in the United States district court here Monday afternoon, after handing down an opinion maintaining the court's jurisdiction in the premises, ordered the promulgation of the above stated facts, which had been agreed to by the attorneys for the state and the 18 Missouri railroads involved. The court in its decision had suggested that the two-cent fare should be first given a practical trial before injunction proceedings preventing its enforcement be considered. Also, Hailey, attorney general, said regarding the two-cent bill: "At the end of three months the railroads want to litigate the reasonableness of these rates, the matter of the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts to determine the question will be fought out and the state has lost none of its rights and advantages. The injunction is broadened to巡巡 the railroad companies on the passenger rates in the state courts will stand."

Cleveland Artist Game Back with Counter Proposition. A local newspaper artist got a letter one day from a man over in Indiana who said he was making a collection of sketches, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I have drawings from well known newspaper artists in nearly every state in the union," the Indiana man wrote, "but I have none from Ohio. I have seen some of your work and I think it is good. If you will send me some little sketch for my collection I shall have it framed." The artist noticed from the letterhead that the Indiana man was connected with a bank in one of the small towns in the state of literature. That gave him a hunch, and he wrote back as follows: "I am making a collection of ten dollar bills. I haven't secured specimens every state in the union, I have several tens and a few twenties, and I am particularly anxious to have a ten dollar bill from Indiana. I notice that you are employed in a place where ten dollar bills are kept, and if you send me one for my collection I shall be glad to have it framed."

Dent Agent, 400 Globe Blvd. St. Paul, Minn. Miss Betty's Cavalier BY ZONA GALE (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) As he turned the corner the new rector's heart was beating. There was nothing formidable about the great gabled house; yet, as he walked up the drive his agitation increased. There was a glimpse of pink muslin on the veranda that was most disquieting. For, his sad heart told him, he could no longer regulate his own dreams, to say nothing of his rebellious spirit; else why should he, waking and sleeping, be dreaming of someone whom he was doomed forever to watch while she moved in that other world—her world—needed by a train However, he went on, and a bend in the drive revealed Miss Betty Sheridan standing on a chair training roses. The picture, which would have agitated even a quiet heart, caused the rector to contemplate retreat. Instead, being a brave man, he stood at the foot of the steps and said gently: "Good morning, Miss Betty." Betty looked down and nodded bewitchingly, and stooped to extend her hand over the back of the chair. "You'll forgive my not getting down?" she asked. "This is a critical moment. Max, please find Mr. Armory a chair." From the vine-covered plaza came forth a big, langlug figure, who gave the final touch to the uncessiness of the rector. Since his coming to the parish of St. Luke's, three months before, and since he had first seen Betty Sheridan on the same day, he had felt a secret and most un-Christian repugnance for this big cavaller, who seemed always within sound of her voice. "How do, Mr. Armory?" said the big saveller in flannels, looking uncomfortably handsome—uncomfortably to the rector. "Come up and be cool. It's a pretty warm morning." "Very," admitted the rector. "Ah—very." "You ought not to be so busy this warm weather," volunteered Betty—and Betty was never so alluring as when she advised people for their own good. "My duties are my pleasures," said the rector. "This, for instance, Miss Sheridan." This big cavailer in flannels, with hands that one instantly knew could send a hall over a net or across a course with unerring stroke, was very like what the rector himself dreamed in his college days of becoming. This cavailer was one of her world—of Betty Sheridan's world. But to the rector had come the struggle that had ended in his taking orders, and some way since his coming to this somewhat distracted parish there had been no time to lift either his golf sticks or his folls from their long rest. Instead, there had been a ceaseless round of visits—which reminded him: "Miss Betty," he said. "I have come to enlist your sympathy this morning." Poor Agnes has had a severe fall. "She will be quite helpless, they fear, for months." The rose bough flew up with a little puff of fragrance, and Betty stepped down from the chair, and sat opposite the rector. "Oh," she said, "the poor girl! What will they do? I will go see her today." "I thought that you would," said the rector, with a little catch in his breath. Betty's face was even more beautiful when she was in earnest than when she was mocking. "Why, yes," said the big cavalier in the doorway; "I'll drive you over after luncheon, Betty. But you'll have to be back for the tennis finals, you know." "Yes, Max," said Betty, without looking at him. "And will you ask your mother if we may have some of her roses, too? I am so sorry, Mr. Arlory. We will not fall you." The Reverend Mr. Armory was ashamed of his sinful rebellion at that "we." The very fact that Betty did not look at the big cavalier when he talked, and that she ordered him about and took him and his mother's roses for granted, disturbed the rector's peace of mind. Sitting beside poor Agnes Chapman that afternoon, the Reverend Mr. Armory experienced sore trials of the spirit. His heart, which went out to the stricken girl, at the same time bounded so suddenly at the lightest footfall outside that he was deeply in doubt as to his right to be there at all, engaged in ministrations. When at last Betty appeared in the doorway with her arms filled with roses, not even the memory of whose mother's roses they were could put out the sudden passionate joy in the rector's eyes. He sat mutely near while Betty bent over the sick girl, and Betty's hair in the sun, Betty's little hand on the coarse spread, Betty's wonderful voice filled the shabby room with wonder. The Reverend Mr. Armory walked to the window to hide his emotion. And outside, stepping lelsurely in the beating sun of the steep little street, his eye fell upon a bay horse and a low phaeton and the big cavalier—all waiting patiently for Betty. The rector then turned from the window, his eyes hardening. "Don't let us detain you too long. Miss Sheridan," he said evenly. "It is very hot in the street—for your friend to wait. Betty looked up wonderingly. "Who—Max?" she said. "Oh—Max." Then she lifted her chin a little in displeased surprise. "Very well," she said, "I will come some other time when I find Agnes alone." She was gone in a moment and the room was stuffy and sunny and unbearable as before, and the phaeton wheels were clattering down the rough street. Horror at his sinful jealousy and petty speech possessed the rector, and he turned to the poor thin face on the pillow in a passion of remorse. The rector passed his own gate that night and went on to the chapel. He was suddenly profoundly disturbed as to his own spiritual condition. When had he ever harbored such sinful thoughts toward another? It was still and cool in the dim little chapel. The rector sank down in a pew and buried his face in his hands. Almost the burden was greater than he could bear, he thought, as he looked ahead on the dreary days of joyless toll. For, his sad heart told him, he could no longer regulate his own dreams, to say nothing of his rebellious spirit; else why should he, waking and sleeping, be dreaming of someone whom he was doomed forever to watch while she moved in that other world—her world—peopled by a train of cavallers whose interests were like her own. The rector rose suddenly. He had never had the luxury of time for sorrow. He turned to the door, and it opened and Betty came in. She was in white, with roses in her belt, and to the Reverend Mr. Armory she was like an angelic presence in the gray chapel. Her cheeks were flushed and she was in some adorable hesitation. “Mr. Armory,” she said, beseechingly, “I saw you come here—and I came to tell you—I was horrid and stupid this afternoon—you must forgive me—will you?” She held out her hand. Before he knew the rector had taken it in both his own and stood looking down at "You Must Forgive Me—Will You?" her in a humult of thankfulness, and a fear that was sweet, like hope. "It was I," he said brokenly. "You must forgive me. You don't know what your coming there meant to me—you don't know how happy it made me. But then I—the thought that that sort of thing was my whole life to me, and just a sort of interlude to you, made me wretched and rebellious. Don't you see? It made us seem so hopeless apart. I seemed so outside your world—and I didn't want that. I wanted—" The rector stopped, amazed at his own daring. But Betty did not stop him. She met his eyes, and her own faltered a little, and her hand fluttered in his, and lay still. The rector of St. Marks looked down at her, a great, incredulous dawning in his eyes. "Did you think," said Betty then, a little defiantly, "that I wanted to go away when I did? To leave—to leave there—" Betty said "there," but her tone was "you," and the rector heard. And still he doubted—she was so throbbing with life, so keen in her love for the vague, glittering interests which the big cavalier shared— "Betty," said the rector, almost warningly, "Betty—" But the warning did not even serve himself. He drew her close to him, imprisoning her hands, sampelling her eyes. "Betty!" he cried, ringingly, "do you know what that means?" Betty's head was hidden, but he heard. "I've known since this afternoon," she said, "when I had to go and play tennis, and leave you there." Had to go and play tennis. Had to go with the big cavalier! Had to leave that stuff little room—and him! All the silent chapel was suddenly filled with little singing voices that followed them, when, presently, they were in the street, and at the gate of the gabled house. Around the corner was disappearing the big cavalier, and beside him a gown of ruffled blue. Betty laughed suddenly. "That's Charlotte," she said. "We didn't expect her till to-morrow. After she came Max was crazy at having to drive me down to—to you, at Chapman's. But I wanted to come and I made him." "Charlotte?" questioned the rector, in a kind of happy spell. Betty glanced up wonderingly. "Oh, I forgot that you wouldn't know," she said. "It's my sister Char lotte. They—they are in love, too." "Too!" cried the rector raptu "Too!" cried the rector rapturously. Great Surgeon Is Dead. Prof. Mostig, who was drowned a few days ago by falling into the Dantee, has long been famous in this country as the discoverer of the use of iodofum in medicine. He was without doubt one of the greatest surgeons of the present era. Born of poor parents, he practically educated himself, and his fearful struggle against poverty in his early days made him the firm friend of those in humble walks of life. He would perform an operation upon a poor man absolutely without fee of any kind. Indeed, it is said that at least half the operations he carried out were done out of charity. Not long since he traveled 400 miles in response to an appeal to perform an operation on the wife of a man who had once been in his service, and when his task was over and the patient placed in charge of the local doctor he walked out of the cottage and home again before the man could thank him, much less offer a fee. Russia seems determined to find out for itself whether or not it is dangerous to sit on the safety valve. WORKING WOMEN, WHAT THEY SHOULD KNOW R Lydia E.

Physician Called It Eczema in Worst Form—Patient Despaired of Cure—Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of _____. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to discontinue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breakout. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

THE H. PAXTON CO., Boston, Mass. SALT CELLAR OF LONG AGO. Wae Distinctive Mark of Caste in the Middle Ages. "This is a medieval salt cellar," said the antiquary. "It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? Very magnificent, eh? In the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have sat, eh? Queer table manners they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped yourself from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich, rank—swans, herons, porpoises, garlic, verjice, saffron. There was mead and wine in floods and ushers stood about whose duty it was to lead to convenient couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn, dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four o'clock in the afternoon." TAKING NO MORE CHANCES. Keepers Had Special Cartridges For Poor Markman. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Sheilburn Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor marks man: "Visiting his English brother in law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pheasant shooting. The man limped away cursing horribly. Next day he had wretched ed luck, though the wounded head keeper without malice had assigned him to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every few seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too, that at each of his misses the under keepers smiled at one another oddly. Finally his cartridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded more. 'There ain't no more, sir,' the man answered. 'No more? Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box.' The keeper flushed and stammered: 'Ah, but them ain' for you, sir. They're for another gent. They've got in 'em, sir." Extravagance in Dress Very few persons outside of the glittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend upon her wardrobe such vast amounts of money as are expended by the daughters of some of these families. The history* of the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the world show so riotious a use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social divertissements. Happy is the lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take me edge from life's real joy! Fled from Gas. "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, but the dors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had him man show the bill collector in the parlor while he hurried upstairs. Do you think that collector waited a few minutes for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fled from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three'd he have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Dog Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's laps from correct speech, all the more because his reports from school were always so good. "Bobb?" she said, plaintively. One day, "why do you keep telling Mato' to set up" when you know 'sit up' is what you should say?" "Oh, well, mother." Bobby answered hastily, "of course I have lots of grammar, but I don't like to waste it on Mato, when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog." "Youth's Companion." Speaking of Fathers Two kids had been engaged in a heated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and he fired the cannon and killed the whole war."—Judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yes," interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance; every time she has had occasion to buy fish since we started housekeeping she has asked her dealer if they were fresh, hoping, I suppose, that some day he'll say no." Each to His Trade. "I'm more useful than you are," boasted the collie, "Yes?" replied the bulldog. "You don't say" "Yes." You should see me go for the sheep when they start to run away." "Well, I wait until some tramps come long here and when they start to run away watch me go for the calves." Tetter Cured A lady customer of ours had suffered with tetter for two or three years. It got so bad on her hands, that she could not attend to her household duties. One box of Chamberlain's Salve cured her. Chamberlain's medicines give splendid satisfaction in this community—M. H. RODNEY & Co., Almond, Als. Chamberlain's medicines are for sale by all druggist. NOT ALL A COMPLIMENT. Wife's Pride in Husband's Success Had a Tinge of Regret. The doctor and his wife had lived to gather four years. She was a widow when he met her. He was a physician of note. Their life together was a hapy by one and no quibbling had entered the home to set a bad example for their hopeful. But the wife had a reputation as a wifit. Her witticisms and little sarcastic remarks were known far and wide. Her friends had all heard of them. They had all felt the sting of the them. The physician had been working with a hard case. He had spent day and night at the home of his patient and had won the fight for life. And he was accordingly well satisfied with himself. On his arrival home one evening he turned to his wife, saying: "You see, wifey dear! I have pulled my patient through. He is now well on the road to recovery." "Yes, hubby, dear!" returned the wife. "But you are such a perfect master of your profession. You are so successful. Ah. I wish that I had met you five years sooner than I did. Then my son, dear Billy would never have died." CLEVER TRICK OF THIEVES. Use Offensive Odor of Onions to Aid in Shoilifting. "Incredible as it may seem," said Joeen, the detective, "there are a number of shoplifters who steal by the agency of the onion. The abandoned men, before setting up upon them, contemplated crimes, eat of raw onions abundantly. Then they stroll into the silversmith's or the haberdasher's or the jeweler's that they propose to rob. "Show me those large solitaires surrounded with pigeon-blood rubies, please," says the jeweler thief. The clerk brings forth the tray of gems and, bending over it, the thief sighs with admiration. His face close to the clerks, he sighs again. And the clerk's nostrils quiver and he turns away his head. The inspection of diamonds continues for some minutes. Throughout it the clerk keeps breathing hard, the clerk keeps turning his head away and hence it is no wonder at the day's end that a couple of costly rings are missing." A Dog Worth Knowing Two years ago a boy 14 years old named Edward Sweeney, living at Opelika, Ala., was followed home by a small dog. The animal was bobtailled and squint-eyed and by no means good looking, and the boy was laughed at for having him around. Within a week, however, the dog brought home a five-dollar bill in his mouth. The next week he brought a silver dollar. Then he brought a pocket knife, and followed that with a dollar bill. There has hardly been a week in these two years that the dog has not found something. He makes it his business to hunt the streets and highways, and often travels a distance of 30 miles. Up to the present date he has found and brought home $38 in cash, besides many useful things. Women of Yezzo. The women of the Island of Yezzo whence it is supposed came the original inhabitants of Japan, have a very peculiar custom of making up their faces to look as though they have mustaches. These women are called Alnus, and upon the upper lip of each Alnus beile is tattooed something that resembles a long, flowing mustache. To possess an artistically tattooed ornament of this kind marks a woman as especially attractive and her chances of making a good maritalial alliance are very small if she is not thus adorned. As a matter of fact, the men of the island choose their spouses more for the beauty of this tattooed design than the grace of form or charm of feature. The Pet Animal Stage. "Why don't you get you a cat?" asked her woman friend. "You wouldn't be half so lonely if you had some little live animal like that, always around." "I haven't come to the animal stage yet, thank heaven," she replied. "When men and women lose all hope of human love they go to the animal kingdom, the men to the dogs, some literally, and the women to the cats; and they are right, perhaps, since faithfulness is to be found mainly among the animals; but as I say, I haven't quite arrived at that stage of the game yet." Her First Impressions. "The first impression is the one you should always go by," the little grass widow advised. "I know by experience. I have never yet had a husband that I liked at first sight. He always had to win me. Then, after I had been married awhile, I invariably went back to my first impression of dislike that kept on getting worse and worse till I had to leave him. I shall never marry again," she finished, "unless I fall head over heels in love with him the first minute I meet him." Best Sleep of All. "I see that an eminent physician declares that two hours of sleep before midnight are worth more than six after that hour." "Nonsense! Two hours of sleep after you're called in the morning are worth more than anything else." Dull Times. "Hello!" said the funny man to Finnigan the undertaker. "I suppose your business is dead with you?" "Faith, it's worse than that," replied Finnigan. "Shure, I haven't buried a livin' soul in near a month."

The average man cannot afford to employ a physician for every slight ailment or injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford to neglect them, as so slight an injury as the soratch of a pin has been known to cause the loss of a limb. Hene every must from necessity be his own doctor for this class of ailments. Success often depends upon prompt treatment which can only be had when suitable medicines are kept at hand.

Chance for a Bargain An Irishman who had begun to practice photograph into a shop to purchase, a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeing one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "W. l." said the chemist, "it will be two pencils as it is, but if you want anything in it, I won't charge you for the bottle." "Then," said Pat, "put a cork in it." Wisconsin Mink Farm. A recent venture not yet listed as paying or otherwise is a mink farm, started by a man in northern Wisconsin, who, noting the popularity of mink and the scarceness of good skins has turned his few acres into a mink farm from which he hopes to make big profits. Married in Handcuffs The unusual spectacle of a bridegroom appearing at the altar hand-cuffed has been seen, according to a contemporary at Monthey, an Italian village. The bridegroom, an Italian was undergoing a long sentence for burglary, and recently prevailed upon the governor of the prison, to whom he stated he had committed the crime for the sake of his fiancee, to allow him to marry. Two gendarmes in uniform acted as witnesses, and guardians at the same time. At the church door the young bride and bridegroom parted with heavy hearts. By order of a New York court a mother gave her seventeen-year-old girl who had attempted suicide a spanking with a hair brush. The fall from the sublime to the ridiculous might be more spectacular, but never more complete.
