Dear Friends and Subscribers to the Western Lever: I take this opportunity through the kindness of the Editor of the Bystander, to acquaint you with the situation that confronts us in the publication of our magazine, the Western Lever. In addition to the previous statements made in the magazine itself an previous issues, I am forced now to state that the treatment I have received from my printers forces me to suspend further attempts to publish the magazine until I can complete the selling of my farm and return to my office, when and where I expect to install my own press and force and then continue the publication of the Western Lever from our own press and office. My printers have delayed every issue of the magazine considerably over time, even when I have sent the money in, in advance, for its publication with the manuscript, as was the case of our last issue. The money and manuscript were sent in during the month of March, the magazine came out the last of April. With this kind of service from my printers it is impossible to successfully get my magazine out on time until I return to the office, and I cannot return to my office until I can sell my farm and effects. But I wish to assure our subscribers that the Western Lever, will continue to be published as soon as I can return to the office, and that every subscriber shall have his and her money's through the mangazine. I solicit your good patience until we can overcome our present disadvantages. I hope soon to be able to leave these parts.

Afro-Americans Rally to Business Needs and Subdueer Large Burns. By P. E. JONES. The Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company held a large stockholders' meeting at Carnegie hall, New York, recently for the purpose of considering the financial condition of its affairs and to raise the necessary funds to complete the new home office of the company at Forty-sixth street and Eighth avenue. Owing to the short notice given for the meeting many of the shareholders were not present. Notices were at least 600 shareholders and other at tended the meeting. The shareholders many of whom seized indifferent and lethargic in the onset of the meeting, warmed up to the necessities of the hour as the officers of the company explained the financial conditions of the same and its present urgent need of funds to complete the building. The meeting was called for the express purpose of raising $5,000, which is the amount necessary to complete the store end of the building. This amount the management is desirous of raising by the 1st; if not, the 15th of July at the latest. Five floors of the building have already been rented, and the lessees will take possession as soon as this part of the building is completed. An urgent demand was made on the shareholders present to pledge this amount. After much persuasion $2,500 was pledged and paid at once toward lending the $6,000. Indicaation to the face of the auditee might have easily pledged the entire amount had they known beforehand the object for which the meeting was called. Other meetings will be held from time to time until the necessary funds to complete the building are raised. Notwithstanding the fact that the $5,000 asked for was not all pledged, the friendly spirit and the eager interest which those who were present displayed in their company demonstrated the fact that the shareholders are still loyal to the company and purpose that it shall succeed. Many shareholders, for one reason or another, have become discouraged and disgruntled because work on the home office has not progressed as fast as they would have liked to see it. They are not alone in desiring to see the building dislabeled. But desire alone, as ennobling as it may seem, will not do the work. It requires money to complete the building, and a very little would be required. The owner provided that all were to contribute to building where some are always giving and others are simply complaining it causes the proposition to become burdensome and the building to drag along. This is annoying to all concerned, and yet it cannot be helped unless the shareholders get together, make up the necessary funds and complete the building. There seems to be an unfounded idea prevalent among a good many stockholders that the company has the necessary funds with which to complete the building and that they could complete it should they desire to do so. These assertions are as ignorant as they are untrue, for no intelligent management of any corporation would pursue a blind attempt to deserve alife of confidence and business. The whole truth is the company has done the beat it could under the circumstances and deserves great credit for having been able to maintain its existence during the crucial period through which it is passing. A little more patience, money and confidence will put the company on its old running basis, and the shareholders will then be satisfied at the sacrifices they have made.

Y., was the annual convention of the most worthy Eastern District grand tent, No. 3, the Order of J. R. Giddings and Joliffe union, which was held for three days in the Bridge Street A. M.

LEAVES MAD HOUSE FOR JAIL, PENDING BANITY PROBE. Former; Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania Testifies to His Normal State of Mind. White Plains, N. Y.—With two im- portant witnesses expressing belief in his sanity, and Justice Mills deciding he may stay in jail here instead of the asylum at Matthews pending the quarrel with Henry. Thaw were double victory Tuesday in his battle for freedom. Lawyer Morschaauer said he desired to consult with his client frequently and that it was impossible for him to do so at the Matteauan asylum. Justice Mills added, however, that if Justice Gaynor or the Appellate division decide to transfer the insanity trial to New York county he will order the retransfer of Thaw to Matteauan. After Justice Mills had heard the testimony of two witnesses produced by Lawyer Morchauser he adjourned the hearing until Monday. The point which Justice Gaynor must decide is whether to take the case into a jurisdiction where Dillen would have come can oppose Thaw's application. William A. Stone, former governor of Pennsylvania, was called by Lawyer Morchauser to prove that Thaw showed a normal state of mind in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings, in which the former governor acted as his attorney. Ex-Gov. Stone swore Thaw acted in a perfectly rational manner in all dealings with him. The testimony of Mr. Stone was taken out of courtesy to him because he could not be present in court for some time owing to business engagements. Justice Mills asked Mr. Stone if Thaw in talking to him about his father's will, spoke from memory. Yes, he spoke of his father's will, will acknowledge various items of property his father had devised," replied the witness. The witness said Thaw talked to him about timber land and discussed with him the advisability of going into the business of buying and selling timber when he got away from his confinement in the asylum. He declared Thaw would like to go into business in Pittsburgh when released. STATES TO DECIDE QUESTION Washington—The senate Monday adopted the Brown resolution which submits to the legislatures of the various states the question of whether the United States is to have an income tax through a constitutional amendment.

There were three hours of debate over this measure, the principal contest being over an amendment by Senator Bailey submitting the amendment to conventions in the states in 1980. The amendment was defeated, the division being largely along party lines. The Brown amendment was adopted unanimously. REBELLION IN COLOMBIA.

Mhmed and Burned Terrily—Could Not-Move Thumbs Without Flash Cracking—Sleep Impossible. Cuticura Soon Cured His Eczema. "An itching humor covered both my hands and got up over my wrists and even up to the elbows. The itching and burning were terrible. My hands got all scaly and when I scratched, the surface would be covered with blisters and then get raw. The eczema got so bad that I could not move my hands and got so scaly. I went to my doctor, but his medicine could only stop the itching. At night I suffered so fearfully that I could not sleep. I could not bear to touch my hands with water. This went on for three months and I was fairly worn out. At last I got the Cuticura Remedies and in a month I was cured. Walter H. Cox, 16 Somerset St, Boston, Mass., Sept 25, 1908." Futter Drug & Chem, Corp. Sole Finder, Boston. WERE THEY THE FORCE Reporter's Seemingly Superfluous Question as to Happenings at Cabinet Meetings. Postmaster General Meyer is of a serious turn of mind, but he has a hit of humor in his makeup, nevertheless. Being looked upon as the shrewdest politician in the president's cabinet, he is the objective point for newspaper correspondents on cabinet days. Last week as Mr. Meyer emerged from the White House a newspaper man asked: "Mr. Postmaster General, can't you give us some news about the cabinet meetings?" "There really is nothing to say." replied the cabinet officer. "We discussed the nothing of especial importance." "Do you mean to say you did not discuss politics?" the newspaper man queried. The postmaster general burst into laughter. When he recovered his usual serenity he said: "Do you suppose we were all muzzled?" Wiles of Beautiful Captive Proved Just the Thing When Emergency Came. The beautiful young captive retained her presence of mind, however, and when it came her turn to be taken before the cannibal king, she marceled herself very carefully. "Aim't I sweet, though!" she exclaimed, archly flirting her handkerchief at the monarch. His majesty at once fell into the trap. "You're simply it!" he replied cordially. "Well, sweet things are terribly fattening." "Ahi!" "O, terribly. And there's nothing so hopelessly out of it as to be fat, these days." Whereupon the king was greatly shaken and commanded her instant release. "People used to blame me because I knew I was pretty, but all the time I felt sure the knowledge would come handy some day!" commented the lovely creature, as she was led away. -Puck How Mrs. Kessler Was Rescued from Almost Certain Death.

Why Actors Wear Long Hair Why do actors so often wear long hair? Perhaps this is the reason: There once was a stute in England under which actors found wandering were liable to be branded through the right ear.

"See, my son," said an enthusiastic parent, anxious to impress the beauties and resources of nature, "what beautiful green dresses of leaves the trees have now, when in winter they are quite bare." "I guess," said the youngster, thoughtfully, "that when winter comes they pack these pretty green dresses in their trunks, don't they?" The Earth and the Moon. That the earth must shine on the moon even as the moon shines on the earth is obvious. To detect this light from the earth on the lunar surface and scientifically prove its existence is another matter. It is interesting to find that a recent number of a French astronomical paper contains two photographs of parts of the moon illuminated by earth light. They were taken by M. Quenisset at the Juvay observatory. Lazy Man Power Generators. Learned Justice Betts of Kingston, N. Y., says "Lazy men have a right to live." Our lazy men are our most potent. History shows that as a rule, with a rule's exceptions, our greatest men had either indolent or shiftless fathers, as fathers of Shakespeare, Lincoln, Napoleon, Blamarcot and other great men.

Mrs. Mary Kraanninger, of Council Bluffs, Took Lantern and Ventured Forth in Darkness in Arkansas, WI. Council Bluffs, July 9.—The body of Mrs. Mary Kranninger, aged 58, wife of John Kranninger, who was drowned while frantically searching for a son who had gone to Lake Manawa and had gotten caught in the storm, was recovered. The Kranningers live near the outskirts of the city, and near the school for the deaf. Mrs. Kranninger became alarmed over the continued absence of one of her five sons. With but one thought and desire, to aid the boy if he was in distress, Mrs. Kranninger took a lantern and started out in the direction of the city, thinking that possibly her son had lost his way in the darkness intensified after leaving the city streets. She evidently attempted to cross a small ravine which had become a torrent, and was swept from her feet and drowned. The lantern was found where it is supposed she fell, and the body more than a mile away. Five sons and four daughters survive. The family did not report Mrs. Kranninger's absence until the body was recovered. Ames Losses Prof. Bowman. Ames.—Every trophy that has been offered in the United States for prizes in students' corn judging contests is now at Iowa State College, they having been won by the teams instructed and organized by Prof. W. L. Bowman. On every occasion his corn judging teams, in competition with those of other states, have won first place. Nevertheless the trustees of the college permitted him to resign and he will sever his connection with the college in September. Professor Bowman has risen in popularity until he ranks with the greatest in the country in his line. Professor Holden repeatedly has declared that the loss of Bowman to the institution would work a great hardship on the college and to the students who have recognized in him an authority on the subject of field crops. Iowa City Man Finds $10,000 Pearl Iowa City.—E.R. Moore of this city while fishing took from an Iowa river clam a pearl which sold for $360.

The bodies were found with in eighteen inches of the surface of the ground. They were taken out and laid on the grass near by, where they were viewed by the entire town. They were supposed to be the remains of Indians buried many years ago, but some of the old-timers think otherwise. Doctors who examined the skeletons claim that they are not the remains of Indians, but of two whites, a man and a woman. This recalls a tragedy or a series of tragedies that are supposed to have had their origin at this very spot. When the railroad was being built through here some thirty years ago, the railroad store was located there and a very rough, small, commonly thronged the place. An enthusiastic shimmered with part of the business of the store and fights were of daily occurrence. A particularly quarrelsome couple were employed as cook and waitress respectively, who, when not fighting among themselves, were in a turmoil with some of the railroad hands, or the proprietor of the establishment, who was himself noted as a bad man. That the skeletons are the remains of the cook and his wife, who, it is remembered, mysteriously disappeared.

Davis, who suffered at the hands of robbers, was beaten in sensible by them and left on the sidewalk to be discovered after considerable time by a passerby.

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION County Attorneys All Over Iowa Are instructed to Strictly Enforce the Moon Law in All Its Provisions. Des Mônes, July 9.—Resolutions of consent for the establishment of saloons passed by city councils since April 15 are absolutely void, according to the interpretation of the Moon law made by Attorney General H. W. Byers in a circular letter which he mailed to county attorneys in the state. The action is occasioned by a city on the Mississippi river which passed a resolution of consent for a larger number of saloons than allowed by the law which went into effect on July 4 limiting the number to one for every thousand inhabitants. The county attorney wrote the attorney general's office for the interpretation of the law. "If the resolutions passed by the cities after the passage of the Moon law were allowed to stand, they would utterly defeat the object of the bill," said Attorney General Byers. "The purpose of the new statute is to cut down gradually the number of saloons in operation in the state of Iowa. "Various cities, believing they could slip around the law since the passage of the bill on April 15, have since passed resolutions of consent, granting permission to establish a large number of saloons, fixing a figure which practically permits any increase in the number of licenses, regardless of the law." "However, the law specifically states that any resolutions of consent passed by any city after April 15 are void until they are the renewals of the previous resolutions of consent." Thus it is readily seen that the view taken by the cities passing the resolutions is erroneous, and that they will be compelled to submit to the law, though the resolutions were passed before the law became effective on July 4, providing that the action was taken after April 15, according to the wording of the Moon bill. The saloon must "now" hold a resolution of consent, and the attorney general has stated that "now" means April 15, and not July 4. The instructions sent to the county attorneys will result in the closing of all saloons operating under the resolutions granted by the cities since April 15. Des Molnes has seven saloons over the limit, and as fast as the proprietors die, go out of business or violate the law, the number will be reduced under the Moon bill.

Save the Babies. NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less optimum, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. 900 DROPS CASTOR ALCOHOL 3 PER GENT.

"Farmers don't mind renting their fields to golfers, but they are strongly opposed to women." "Why?" "Because woman golfers are always losing hairpins and haptins and stickpins in the grass.

"Because afterward when his sheep and cattle graze in those fields they swallow pins. Pins, I needn't tell you, are injurious to the health." The Spice of Life. Ashley—Do you have much variety in your boarding house? Seymour—Well, we have three different names for the meals. A woman who has used Postum since it came upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of using Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a clear brain. She says: "At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum. I got a package and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking coffee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate nor depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly, strengthens the nerves and the stomach." "To make a long story short, our entire family continued to use Postum with satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power." Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner. "There's a Reason."

T., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its solid laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders. I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Kerrill, of Augusta, Me, says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the case with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

EVANS PLANT CO., Box Molems, Iowa BOY DELAYED BY THE STORM Council Bluffs, July 9.—The body of Mrs. Mary Kraninger, aged 88, wife of John Kraninger, who was drowned while frantically searching for a son who had gone to Lake Manawa and had gotten caught in the storm, was recovered. The Kraninger们 live near the outskirts of the city, and near the school for the deaf. Mrs. Kraninger became alarmed over the continued absence of one of her five sons. With but one thought and desire, to aid the boy if he was in distress, Mrs. Kraninger took a lantern and started out in the direction of the city, thinking that possibility would last longer in the darkness intensified after leaving the city streets. She evidently attempted to cross a small ravine which had become a torrent, and was swept from her feet, and drowned. The lantern was found where it is supposed she fell, and the body more than a mile away. Five sons and four daughters survive. The family did not report Mrs. Kraninger's absence until the body was recovered.

Republicans voted in the negative were Beveridge of Indiana, Briotw of Kansas, Brown of Nebraks, Burkett of Nebraska, Clapp of Minnesota, Crawford of South Dakota, Cummins of Iowa, Dolliver of Iowa, La Follette of Wisconsin, Nelson of Minnesota.

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinxtures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Ohas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

A woman who has used Postmum since it came upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of using Postmum in place of coffee if one values health and a clear brain. She says: "At the time Postmum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to go to the office. Postmum I got a package and it had carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking coffee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to Postmum. It was easy to get him to make the change for the Postmum is so delicious. It certainly worked for him. It. "We learned that Postmum does not exhilarate nor depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stomach." "To make *x* long story short, our entire family continued to use *Postum* with satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power." Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in a marked manner. "There's a Reason."

Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily command its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kannas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Kerrill, of Augusta, Mo., says: "Castoria is one of the very easiest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the case with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

In the war amendments to the constitution the Republican party set forth the reasons for its continued existence after Appomattox. These articles gave the Negro freedom and citizenship, and they specifically safeguarded him against discrimination. Political pain and penalties were devoted to the cause of states which divided the country. The Republican presidential campaigns were fought on this issue, and some of the most conspicuous of Republican chiefains made no stronger claim to popular favor. This traditional policy has found expression with much regularity in the party platforms. In Ohio, Mr. Taft's own state, the Republicans have repeatedly demanded the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment, providing for a reduction of representation in congress and in the electoral college for all states which had disfranded the Negro. The national Republican platform of last year, on which Mr. Taft was elected, "declared office more and without invocation of the right to be in letters and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments" and condemned "all devices that have for their real aim disfranchisement for reasons of color alone as unfair, American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." In furtherance of a southern policy of his own which is in conflict with that of his party, Mr. Taft now openly accepts the southern disfranchisement laws and announces that he will appoint no Negroes to office against the wishes of the whites. No Democrat of whom we have knowledge could more radically take issue with the orthodox Republicanism of the past. Unless we are to believe that machine Republicanism, wholly abandoning principles and ethics, has devoted itself to the spoils of office, how are we to explain the fact that no protest has yet been made to this course by any notable Republican leader or by any conspicuous Republican newspaper? The power of the president is great in any case, but when politicians and newspapers are servile it is magnified many times. Revolutionizing participation in the party is the most vital of party traditions and practically justifying the nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, with no protest from any Republican, Mr. Taft reveals courage and independence on his own part and submissiveness on the part of his political associates. Admiring the president's spirit, the World Democratically disagrees with the establishment of the new color line, and even the distinguished example of Mr. Taft cannot persuade it to approve of the virtual nullification of the fifteenth amendment. Good as the president's intentions, no doubt, are, it is hardly possible that the course which he has mapped out for himself is to be a finality in American politics—New York World. THE WORLD GROWING BETTER All Must Join In Worldwide Progress, Says Governor Stubbs. "Every man who thinks this world n't growing better is out in the back- woods. He doesn't know what he is talking about. There's progress in the air, and it's worldwide. All of you have to take part in it." So said the Hon. W. R. Stubba, governor of Kansas, in a recent address to 3,000 Afro-American men and women in a large tent at the Western university, a school for Afro-Americans at Quindaro, Kan, where the university commencement exercises were held. The assembly included the graduates and whole families who attended the exercises. Governor Stubba talked earnestly to the students and urged them to study and strive to become good citizens. "When you get the benefits of a liberal education at the expense of the people of Kansas," he said, "there is a great responsibility resting on you. You can't enjoy all these luxuries without being responsible. It is a mighty good thing for you to study Greek, Latin, philosophy, and so forth, but you should learn to do something, to accomplish something and to do it well. I say to you right now that if there is a black man or any other man in this country who is too proud or ashamed to get right down and work with his hands he hasn't right good sense." The Hon. John T. White, state grain inspector of Kansas, also delivered an inspiring address to the graduating Progressive Trade School. The Jonesboro Agricultural academy, at Fort Lee, Va., is doing effective work among its students in agriculture, domestic science and the trades. The school has a building which cost $3,000, upon which a third has been paid. It takes $1,000 to run the school through the term, but this sum will be far too small for another year, as more students will be in attendance and more dormitories will be needed to accommodate them. Professor J. W. Moss is the principal of the school and will be pleased to receive voluntary contributions in money or provisions from any one who desires to help along this line. Negroes Own Hospital. The new sanitarium and hospital which was recently opened for the reception of patients at New Orleans is one of the few institutions of its kind owned, operated and supported by our people in the United States. It is called the Negro Baptist sanitarium. Mayor Bohrman delivered an encouraging address on the opening day. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Driarrhoe Remedy the Best and Surest. "It affords me pleasure to state that I consider the preparation known as Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Driarrhoe Remedy the best and surest of good remedies," he says. "I have a family," says B. E. Harrison of Mount Aerial, Ky. This is the usual verdict of all who use this remedy. Its names are negroest and antisocial that people believe it is recommending it. LIBERIANS CO-OPERATE The American Commission on Halled as Saviors of Republiea. The return of the Liberian commission to the United States is awaited with almost intense interest by the great body of Afro-American throughout the country. According to schedule, the commissioners are expected to land in New York about July 4. The members of the commission are R. P. Falkner, E. J. Scott and George Sale. It is possible that the commission's reports may say something interesting regarding foreign aggression in the Negro republic, Messrs. Falkner, Scott and Sale spent three weeks in Monrovia considering the internal affairs of the country, and the impression was gained from statements from the group. It could not found any complications which could not be unravelled with the help and moral support of the nations having commercial interests in Liberia or whose colonies adjoin that republic. After the conclusion of the work in Monrovia the Chester, with the chairman and the secretary of the commission and Captain S. A. Cloman, the military attach at London, went to Sierra Leone to confer with the British officials on the best way to secure a truce between Sierra Leone and Liberia, which are the most serious problems facing the latter country. The natives along the boundary complain that the government of Sierra Leone has practically taken possession of 350 square miles of their most valuable, most thickly populated and most productive territory on the northwest frontier and that it has expelled the Liberian officials from the territory just south of the connecting loops of the Sierra Leone railway. As this is the center of important matters, a matter of great concern to Liberia is the extension of the British railway into this strip would divert the trade to Sierra Leone from the hinterland without the payment of duties to Liberia. While the Chester was north the Birmingham, with the other Americans, went south to visit the Kroco coast and the French boundary. Regarding this boundary there do not seem to be any serious questions, and the government has quarer, as Liberia has granted a concession to alternate sections of land along the frontier to Americans. The government, however, seriously complains of interference on the part of the British in an attempt to establish full authority over the natives of the north over the south by boot the form of refusing to allow Liberia to bombard a village of rebellious natives. These conditions, together with complications which have arisen in connection with Englishmen, who are employed in the military department of Liberia, have aroused intense enmity against everything English. When the commission arrived at Monrouva the time of the arrival of the surveys of the country, and it became necessary for them to point out that they had come only in an advisory capacity and depended on the Liberians to rehabilitate their country. HOKE SMITH'S SARCASM. Georgia's Governor Does Not Believe in Equal Educational Advantages. At the opening session of the state legislature at Atlanta, Ga., the other day Governor Hoke Smith in his final message dealing with the race question as it affects the public schools and the recent fremen's strike said: "The new franchise law prescribes qualifications for the exercise of the right to vote which will protect even the smallest community from those who, unable to control themselves, are utterly unfit to vote upon the rights of others. The future of our state requires that there shall be no litteracy among the white children. Do not mean by any way to be to I. Negroes by this discrimination, but I do not believe instruction from books, except of a simple character, is of any benefit to a considerable portion of them. "Education should fit for life with a view to the character and possibilities of children. The difference between the races should be recognized by the county school commissioners, and they should not hesitate to do so on account of the maudlin criticisms that may come upon them from certain classes of would be philanthropists of other sections, who do not understand the true nature of the Negro or the true relations of the races. "During the past month a strike by firemen on the Georgia railroad resulted in a temporary suspension of the operation of the road. The strike was caused by the discharge of white firemen and the substitution of Negroes at a small reduction of pay, together with the recognition of whites. I telegrambed shelters and mayors, urging them to be vigilant and to protect life and property. The general manager of the road, Thomas K. Scott, was persistent in his demand that the governor take additional action with reference to the disturbance. I did not accede to the demand. I believed the course being pursued was the reckless willingness of Mr. Scott to precipitate the possible loss of life and destruction of property."

SHILDREN OP EXALTED TASTES Little Ones Used to Dignitaries of High Estate. A well-known family in Catholic cities, 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, being quite hospitably inclined, 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 impressed at such behavior, said to the eldest: "Come here, dear; 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 disapprovingly 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 imp if he belonged to them. Spanking was the popular remedy, and if that 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 babel of advice and fault-finding, however, there was one woman who contributed nothing. She was a gentle, gray-heaired woman, remained unruffled in the midst of the small tempest raging, mine," said the determined woman beside her, "I make him mind if I had to half kill him. Wouldn't you." "I don't know," said the little woman, mildly, "what I'd 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 don't know what I would do. 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 a century old. It is said to have started in a happy idea that coffee to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and clammy. 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 useful buildings like conservatories. It was later used as a concrete villa built on the north shore of the island sound, but it was only years before the idea "took" here, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was seized upon with avidity - Smith's Magazine.

There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little, surplus money, something you would help you to "money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life—first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who take through force or trust what you have to give to them. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes, on the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of these --- Straighten Your Hair **Dad Starts:** I have used only one bottle of yeast **Dad Starts:** I have used only one bottle of yeast **Dad Starts:** I have used only one bottle of yeast **Dad Starts:** I have used only one bottle of yeast Formerly known as Ozonized Ox Marrow.

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 theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs A. M. POPE.
