Last Tuesday the United States Senate passed a bill to re-institute the Colored Soldiers of the 25th Infantry who were discharged August 1906, at Brownsville, Texas, for alleged shooting up of said town on the night of Aug., 13th, 1906. The bill passed the Senate by a strictly party vote of 56 republicans voting for it and 26 democrats voting against it except (Senator Teller who voted for it), the bill is known as the Aldrich Bill it provides for the president to appoint a court of inquiry to determine the qualifications for re-enlistments. The bill is a compromise as both Senator Foraker and Roosevelt agreeing to the term of it. It will be sent to Congress for passage before adjournment March 4th. We hope that it may pass so that those soldier boys discharged may be re-instated with full back pay, with all former honors and rights restored. While the present bill was not all our good friend Senator Foraker had hoped for yet was by no means what President Roosevelt wanted but public sentiment demanded that this gross wrong be righted. It has been a long seige and right won so we hope that the soldier boys will return to the Army and prove to the court and awaiting world their innocence.

Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essex suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in trapping fugitive warriors, and in killing and capturing them in this manner. Wallace is said to have hailed his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhangs the water.

GOOD CROPS, SPLENDID CLIMATE AND WELL ENFORCED LAWS. Mr. George E. Hunter is a Maitland stone, Saskatchewan (Central Canada), farmer, who writes to a Canadian Government Agent as follows: "It was the first week in November, 1807, when we arrived here. There was very little snow or cold weather until after the holidays, then the snow and cold increased, but to no great extent. I think the oldest I heard of was 30 degrees below zero, but that degree of cold would not be felt any more than 10 degrees below zero would be back home in Michigan, owing to the beautiful dry atmosphere of this country. There came a good hawk every month that settled the snow, the fields soon became bare, and on the 12th of April I commenced ploughing. The snow had been hand. This last season was something more than an average year around here, with fine crops gathered from a large acreage. In parts the crops were less than average, but generally speaking they were above it. The price of wheat was quite good. Some fine yields sold at $1.10 per bushel, while some were marketed at much less, but hardly any went below about 60 cents a bushel. "Gets started on the market at 35 cents a bushel, barley about 50 cents, and flax from 90 cents to $1.00 a bushel. "As this was my first year in this country, I bought horses owing to their being eastern horses, and not used to the western climate, but they will soon get climatized. "The soil on my farm is a black loam, about one foot in thickness, below that we find about six feet of clay, and below that again gravel and sand, with an abundance of excellent water. The condition of the soil I found when I used it. Well, I can say that the water is as sweet and as free from alkali and impurities as I ever saw." "My opinion is that the man who comes here with a little means can do no better than invest $500 or $1,000 in cattle, after locating a homestead adjoining or near some hilly part of the country where it will not be taken up as soon. There is plenty of grass and hay to be found in the hilly country and small lakes and sloughs will afford sufficient water for any amount of cattle. The bhuis with a few hay or straw will supply the sufficient food there. There is no need to worry about the market for cattle, as there is already a great call for stock of all kinds to satisfy the continued demands of the large packing house at Edmonton, established by Swift and Company. "The dairy business should by no means be forgotten. It is one of the paying enterprises of this great west. The price of butter seldom goes below 25 cents and reaches as high as 40 cents a pound. Also the new creameries that are fast being erected along the lines of railroad are calling on the farmers for their cream. "These creameries are greatly welcomed in all communities, because selling cream is better than making butter, even at an average price of 25 cents a pound. For a new country the railroad transportation facility, good not; yet of yet, what they are in need of, what they are in lines swiftly gaining as the councils more settled and supplies them with produce to ship. It is hard to say too much in favor of this country. All one needs is a little money with grit and ambition. I have seen homesteads that were fled on a little homestead three years ago that the owners have refused $3,000 for. "There is much more that: can be said in favor of Western Canada, but I think my letter has been long enough." THE BUGVILLE BASEBALL GAME. Jim Ant—Run, fellows run! Bill Booth—What's up?

Here it presently overheard two voices talking. "I want to borrow $50,000,000 to finance a candle trust!" said one voice. "Glad to accommodate you!" said the And the next the Penny Saved knew, it was going out into the channels of trade. When the man to whom it belonged fell into sore need (he was a candelaker and the trust crushed him out) and came to the bank for his money, he was courteously informed that the bank had been informed about the receiver and recommended to call again in a year or two and get his share of the assets, should there prove to be any—Puck. Got the Letters Mixed. A young American, who is particular about his washing, the other day wrote a note to his laundress and one to his sweetheart, and, by a strange fatality, put the wrong address on each envelope and sent them off. The washwoman was delighted at an invitation to take a ride the next day, but when the young lady read, "If you tumble up my shirt bosom any more as you did the last time, I will go somewhere else she cried I'll be stained and shamed she would never speak to him again. Distinction Without Difference. While holding a term of court at Augusta once, Judge Walton sentenced a man to seven years in prison for a grave crime. The respondent's counsel asked for a mitigation of the sentence on the ground that the prisoner's health was very poor. "Your honesty said I would not do that my eldest cannot live out half the term and I beg of you to change the sentence." "Well, under those circumstances," said the judge, "I will change the sentence. I will make it for life instead of seven years." Palatable, Economical, Nourishing. A Nebraska woman has outlined the prize food in a few words, and that from personal experience. She writes: "After our long experience with Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in its favor. We have used this food almost continually for seven years. "We sometimes tried other advertised breakfast foods but we invariably returned to Grape-Nuts as the most palatable, economical and nourishing of all. "When I quit tea and coffee and began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts I was a nervous wreck. I was so irritable I could not sleep nights, had no interest in life. "After using Grape-Nuts a short time I began to improve and all these diseases have disrupted and now I am my dismayed. My two children have been almost raised on Grape-Nuts, which they set three times a day. "They are pictures of health and have never had the least symptom of stomach trouble, even through the most severe stage of whooping cough they could retain Grape-Nuts when all else failed. "GrapeNuts food has saved doctor bills and has been, therefore, a most economical food for us." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pugs.

Carroll—E. C. Buc, a German farmer barely escaped death in a miraculous manner. He was on his way to town with a load of hogs for market and when reaching the C. & N. W. track one mile west of town, was run down by the Carroll and Joondal passenger. Asak for the hogs way is clear and how the man could have driven over the track without noticing the approaching train is a question. When the engineer whistle the whistle Mr. Budden attempted to back off the track but the engine caught the horses and literally ground them to pieces, and one hog was killed. Mr. Budden escaped without a scratch. Paralyxia in the Family. Massachusetts. The fifth of his family of brothers and sisters to suffer a stroke of paralysis, a disease which to four has proved fatal, is the case of James Heintzelman, an old resident of this county, whose life is hanging by a thread.

Three of the sisters died within a few weeks of each other from the same malady. James Heintzelman is 71 years of age, his brother was 77, and his sisters ranged from two to ten years younger.

Creston -- While William Smith, one of the oldest and best known express messengers on the Burlington road was on his run between Chicago and Omaha, he was stricken with apoplexy between Corning and Red Oak. He was taken on to Omaha, where he apparently recovered to quite an exeptness while he was attempting to take a bath at his stopping place he was seized with another attack, presumably, and was found dead in the bath tub. His home is in Chicago, where he has a wife and two children. Poisoned by Mall; Gets $42. Corning—A. T. Wheeler, the weal- ly lumberman and implement dealer of this place, has settled with the accident insurance company for in- juries received from taking poison sent him through the mail. The question arose, was the company liable under the policy for the injuries sus- tained? Without a suit the company (Aetna) settled the claim in full amounting to $42. The question raised was whether the taking of the liability of the accident company the poison was an accident under which the company was liable.

THE VALUE OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contents of this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front ranks of The Well Informed of the World. A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the highest excellence in any field of human effort.

Mexico, Mo., as pershape you know is a something little city with a colored population something over 2000. We have four colored churches here, the Oakland, Methodist Episcopal church, Miss James M. Harris, pastor; the M. E. church, Rev. R. Long pastor; the Baptist church formerly pastored by Rev. S. M. Smothers, is at present without a pastor. We have a good public and high school with Prof. I. J. Hicka, B. S. D., as principal, and among the teachers are Prof. J. C. Daniels, Miss Mary E. Griffin, Miss Georgia Pringle and Mrs. I. J. Hicka. in and around Mexico, we have some of Missouri's leading, colored farmers, among whom may be mentioned Mr. John Leonard and his son Thomas Leonard who have under cultivation a large 400 acre farm, they are doing a great business and have the respect and cooperation of the leading business men of the city. Mr. Leonard is an officer in the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Tom Champ is another farmer having under cultivation 1200 acres. The colored men are doing a great work in the barber business, they have inspiration three shops for white men and one for colored, all of the shops are doing a flourishing business. The proprietors are Ben Douglas, Wallace Ball, A Bodine, and Joe White. The colored grocery store and meat market with Mr. Henry Hawkins as proprietor is doing a good business. Mr. Hawkins is one of the leading members of the Baptist church. Secret societies usual hold a high place here they have the Masons, Odd Fellows, K. of Pa., U. B. F., and Knights of Tabor.

MAINE GHOST ON HORSEBACK Peculiar Spook That Has Struck Terror to Farmer Folk. The horseback riding ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdolham, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at certain times. The hunter's ghost, they call him, and the big man on the big white house who comes galloping down the lionstone road on the fulto' the moon right up to the sidetree of Sunny Crest farm strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly and his riding whip on the pants of the woodhouse. When one appears in answer to the knock the ghost, so they tell the story, wheels round and disappears at a galep, turning into the old woods road much used in revolutionary times by the soldiers of that stormy period. Ghost of the old Cap'i, they call him, connecting this horseback riding spook with a certain officer of un-savory fame who once haunted the district of Maine. It is on the hunter moon when the ghost rides abroad, and nervous people on the Lisbon road are much disturbed by this galloping horseman—Lewiston Journal.

William James, in Hilbert Journal. Ancient Uses of Bloodhounds. Ancient Uses of Bloodhounds. Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essex suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland, the army employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water. "He has achieved success who has lived long, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty nor failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction." -Bessie A. Stanley. "There are various degrees, and kinds of blindness, widow. There is the conubial blindness, ma'am, which perhaps you may have observed in the course of your own experience, and which is a kind of wilful and self-damaging blindness. There is the blindness of party, ma'am, and public men, and the blindness of butt, for the sake of a resentment of soldiers clothed in red. There is the blind confidence of youth, which is the blindness of young kittens, whose eyes have not yet opened on the world."—Charles Dickens. Curious Mexican Indiana. Buried in the heart of a civilized, powerful and progressive foreign people, a little handful of Indians have lived for 300 years and have contrived to keep during all that time their national characteristics, their traditions and their individuality.

Little Once Used to Dignitaries of High Estate. A well-known family in Catholic circles, living in Spring Garden street, and blessed with three very small daughters, spent last winter in Rome, where the small daughters were sent to school. The family had been included entertained quite lavishly some of the dignitaries of the Vatican. Returning to Philadelphia, they received a hearty welcome, and among others some of their old priest friends called to bid them welcome home. The mother, always proud of her three small daughters, sent for them to be brought downstairs to see the father. After awhile they came, the three little golden-haired girls; but they only stood in the doorway of the spacious room and refused to come any further. The mother, much moved at such behavior, sold the oldest: "Come here, don't you remember good Father — who used to come and see us from the cathedral." There they stood, the three little blonde tots, and looking most disapproving at good Father —, the oldest spoke: "We like cardinals," is what she said—Philadelphia Public Ledger. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T KNOW Woman of Experience Not Hasty in Expressing Opinion. Before he had been in the car three minutes most of the women passengers and some of the men were explaining to their neighbors what they would do, with the little limp if he be longed to them. Spanking them, the boy had received then and there all the paddings that his critics were aching to administer he certainly would have been well blistered. To the general habel of advice and fault-finding, however, there was one woman who contributed nothing. She was a gentle, gray-haired body, who remained unruffled in the midst of the small tempest raging. "If that child was mine," said the determined woman, mildly she. "I had to half kill him. We'dna't you." "I don't know," said the little woman, mildly, "what I do." "You don't," said the determined woman. "Well, I know. But maybe you are not used to children? Maybe you never had any of your own?" "Oh, yes," said the little woman, "I brought up 13. That is why I don't know what I would do." Concrete Not Modern. Concrete is a very ancient material for construction, but reinforced concrete is scarcely half as hard as concrete and is happy idea that comes to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and clumy. He reinforced them with wire. Nowadays we see glass reinforced in the same way, especially about elevator shafts. Colgnet and others developed the reinforcement of concrete for buildings, at first merely using buildings like concrete villa, but early as 1874 concrete villa was built on the north shore of Long Island sound, but it was many years before the idea "took here, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was seized upon with acidity - Smith's Magazine. No More Gold Lace for Afghanistan. The ameer Gold has published an edict, which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lungis and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on show dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and although the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly; his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. Dickens': There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended op out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same sympathy are required within the sight and hearing of the most unobserver person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the playwright must have his. A good remedy for sleeplessness is to wet a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard up against the base of the brain and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful slumber. Warm water is better than cold for the purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or anxiety. He Guessed It. Howell—What became of Rowell who was here when I lived here?

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that heirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO.

A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of infectious diseases. Consumption, pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet fever, four of the diseases and dermatitis, are of this class. The culture bed formed by the pals favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contagious with medicine like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture beds that, favor the development of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved successful in preventing pneumonia. It cools quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous diseases. For sale by all druggists.

I also received your letter from bible and thank you very much for interest. I am grateful to your treatment. I used the red shampoo and eggs, as I thought the scalp must have thorough cleaning to start with and you didn't designate which to use first. I must say it was the most delightful shampoo I ever had. I felt like I had a new head (laugh), why, that I didn't need to perfection to be used, as a dressing, and I don't think you've exaggerated its merits. Dear Madam—I now write you what your wonderful hair, remedy has done for me. My hair had been falling out for over a year. It came out in spots larger than a dollar. Black heads and pimples, came in the bald spots and I immediately looked like it had been seated. After using your treatment three months the scalp began looking better and the black heads A Chance for a Bargain.

"Then," said Pat, "put a cork in it." 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNING COPYRIGHTS & G.
