Washington to speak at the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held in New York City at the Palm Garden, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 17th, 18th and 19th.

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 bloodhounds were regularly 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. Introduced with such remarkable success by Mr. Cooper in leading cities throughout the United States. Cooper's New Discovery $1.00 per Bottle. Ladies!

THE MCCALL COMPANY, 239 149 West 37th St., NEW YORK They're polishing the sands of the seashore. An aeroplane does not seem to be mightier than its motor. An Illinois professor says skunks are edible. So are onions. "Patience is essential to fishing," says the Detroit News. So is good halt. Now some scientist suggests the vaccination of foodstuffs. We don't believe it will take. Once in awhile an automobile driver runs down a pedestrian, and once in awhile a motor cyclist doesn't. A New York doctor who has fasted 31 days lost 55 pounds. But it should be noted that he had them to lose. If aeroplanes are used for carrying the mails, will the franks of the congressman entitle them to Tree rides? An aeroplane-motorcycle-auto race is a novelty today, but what would it have been ten or fifteen years ago? With $30,000,000 worth of irrigation bonds on hand there should be no lack of moisture for the crops of the west and northwest. By general consent Professor Wood, who declares that skunks are good to eat, will be allowed to have the entire supply for his own use. The small-boy fatality is likely to be on the increase, now that the aviation-experiment craze has seized upon the fancy of adventurous youth. Massachusetts man wishes release from the bonds of matrimony because his wife keeps thirty-one cats. Why didn't he buy a dog or so? When we have inter-collegiate aviation contests the rain of undergraduate teams from the skies is likely to make football seem a tame and effea diversion. Aeroplane torpedoes directed by wireless! If Bar Monunchausen had thought of this, his stories would have been rejected as too fantastic to be funny. Says a cable from Calcutta: "Three men are reported frozen to death, and six killed by sunstroke in India, today." India must be nearly as big as Texas! The sultan of Sulu, who is coming to visit this country, will be welcome, and the people would be glad to see the celebrated wizard of Oz at the same time. The average salary of the American preacher is but $652 a year. This is pretty small when you remember what it costs the preacher to have donation parties at his house. The Zeppelin airship was exactly on time at every station, perhaps owing to the fact that she was not compelled to wait anywhere for little jerk-water airships to make connections. If the man in New York who now has a jawbone of solid gold possesses in addition a tongue of silver, an iron nerve and a grip of steel, he may aptly and accurately be described as a man of mettle. The foreign professors at the Imperial university in Peking insist that a chair of housecleaning be installed if they are to continue in their posts. Even the lore of the ages is the better for an occasional dusting. A judge having a speed maniac be fore him, advised the prisoner to see a doctor. But the judge failed to give his advice the fullest effect, since a reliable prison doctor would be able to give the most effective treatment. A hasty glimpse at the children's magazines shows that they are instructing the youth of the land in the method of making airships and wireless telegraph outfits. At last the boys are finding things to play with that their fathers cannot show them how to run. The Cincinnati man who carries his own street railway strap is giving the public of that city an example of ultra precaution in the baffling of stray germs. There are doubtless germs without number on car stripes, but the man with the individual strap were to carry his precautions into all of his daily activities. However, a happy medium in the struggle against germs would doubtless soon reduce the num- If you take advantage of this discouraging spell and let yourself be coaxed artfully, you can get a pretty fair rate at the hotel or the farm boarding house for the summer. There seems to be practically no limit to the use to which the automobile plow, the latest in the automobile plow, an experiment on a large scale in Indiana having demonstrated the value of the machine as a saver of labor and cost. Will the next thing be plowing, sowing and reaping by the aid of an airship? We hate to hear aviators spoken of as being on "the third leg" of their course. Legs are not used by the bird man. A Long Island man who took the unwritten law into his own hands was convicted of murder. The sentiment is growing against the right and justice of allowing a man to be judge, jury and executioner in the case of his own wrong, especially in view of the fact that there is ground for mistakes in such hasty and one-sided no ```markdown ``` HARDING IS CHOSEN NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR BY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION ONLY THREE BALLOTS TAKEN Platform Being an Expression by President's Own State and Indored by Him Will Be Made Model by Other Republican Gatherings. Columbus, O.—By a fusion of the Garfield and administration delegates, the Republican convention Thursday nominated Warren G. Harding, former lieutenant governor, for governor on the third ballot, after James R. Garfield and Carmi A. Thompson had withdrawn. F. W. Treadway of Cleveland was renamed for lieutenant governor; Granville W. Mooney for secretary of state. Despite the efforts of Senator Burton' Cuyahoga county delegation to staple the convention for Nicholas Longworth, and George B. Cox's every effort in behalf of Judge O. B. Brown, the Dayton man, the combination of the governor with the national administration men up the flight on the third ballot. Then Cox, yielding to the inevitable, cast the 91 Hamilton votes for Harding, and that finished it. The platform which it is expected will be a model for future Republican conventions, was adopted almost recently but be a but few scattered "poen." The salient features follow: President Tait's administration is commended in highest terms, particular praise being given for the action taken against the sugar trust, the prevention of a raise in freight rates by the railroads, the indictment of the cotton pool and the work of the Sixty-first congress. Faith in the Payne-Aldrich tariff law is affirmed because "it does not rate the duty of duty on such common food product," also because "the increases made were on luxuries and articles not of common use." Revival of the merchant marine and an adequate national defense is urged. An employers' liability law is favored and the establishment of a commission to investigate the question is praised. The principle of conservation is indented and a demand made for the enforcement of the existing laws and regulations. A limit on the tax rate to ten mills for all purposes is favored, as is supervision of all public utilities by a commission and the ratification of the income tax by the federal constitution. STRIKE AFFECTS 28,000 MEN Chicago Trades Council Calls Out All Building Workmen Except Carpenters—27 Structures Affected. Chicago.—A general strike of building trades was decided upon at a conference of thirty-seven unions Thursday, which met in a final effort to obtain a settlement with the Otis Elevator company. It is said the strike order will affect 28,000 men. The only union not affected by the order is that of the carpenters. The cause of the strike is the refusal of the Otis Elevator company to remove machinists from elevator construction work, the American Federation of Labor having held this line of work to belong strictly to elevator constructors. It is said the company has contracts on thirty-seven buildings, now in the course of construction here, and that work will be stopped on all of them. Following the strike order, business agents representing their respective unions hurried to buildings in which the Otis company has contracts for the use of notifying the men of the decision taken at the conference. ADOPT LOCAL OPTION PLANK Iowa Democratic Convention Denounces Tariff Bill as "Master-piece of injustice." Ottumwa, Ia.—After a bitter wrangle in the resolutions committee, the Democratic state convention Thursday adopted a local option plank thereby putting the liquor question which has been a thorn in the flesh of both parties for years, squarely up to the people. Jerry B. Sullivan of the Moines, former candidate for governor, acted as temporary chairman, and scored Theodore Rosewell unmercifully in his speech. The platform adopted denounces the tariff bill as a "masterpiece of injustices involving remorseless excuses from the many to enrich the few." The nomination of Claude R. Porter for governor was ratified. Pittsburgh, Pa.—As a protest against working conditions in mines and mills of western Pennsylvania, it is intended at the office of the Austrian consulate here that the imperial government may restrict emigration to this region. Death In Tidal Wave San Sebastian, Spain.—Four persons are known to have perished in a wave which swept the harbor here Tuesday and it is feared the death roll will mount higher.

STRIKE BREAKERS QUIT WORK TRAINMEN ARE TERRIFIED BY SOUTH BEND MOBS. Grand Trunk Officials Will Continue Yard Service As Soon As New Crews Are Obtained. South Bend, Ind.-With its crews short-handed the Grand Trunk railroad had difficulty in moving freight in and out of this city, but the few trains that were operated met no interference from strike sympathizers. The Goets and General McKee of the Indiana national guard, after a conference announced it was apparent no further rioting was imminent and the presence of state troops would not be necessary. They said that not the strikers but disorderly looters had caused the trouble of the last several days. The nonunion man for two days in the midst of a mob, but they quit. Several admitted that they feared to work longer. Railroad officials are determined to continue the yard engine service, and the crews will be started at work again as soon as crews can be secured. Only one engine has been started out thus far. A crowd of 1,500 to 2,000 men and boys, sympathizers, made an effort Monday night to burn a refrigerator car that had been switched on a crossing west of Oliver's Station. The city fire department succeeded in quenching the flames after the car had blazed for 20 minutes or more. Durand, Mich.—There were several strike disturbances here and many arrests made. A special officer in the Grand Trunk yards was assayed by an alleged strike sympathizer. The fire department said to have notified the sheriff that unless twenty-five additional officers were sworn in it would appeal to the governor for aid from the state militia. Twenty-five strikebreakers left their trains here at the entreaties of the strikers and several trains were delayed many hours.

Commons' Battle Against Liquor Vain, Despite Great Speech on the Convention Floor. Grand Island, Neb.-Nebraska Democrates Tuesday night delivered a blow to William J. Bryan when by a decisive vote they registered their unbelief in his county local option. Mr. Bryan had labored hard in the committee in an effort to have his ideas written into the platform, and after being defeated in the committee, he appealed to the convention and in this appeal made the speech of his life to a convention already instructed against him. He pleaded to his old friends, begged them not to repudiate him unless they found him untrue to Democratic principles; he threatened statewide prohibition if county option was defeated; he denounced those Democrats whom he charged with being subservient to the liquor interests; and he cajoled the uninstructed delegates to vote for him and his plans. He also accused the governor to the most bitter words directed at him that he has ever heard. No attack made against Bryan by Republicans or others, in any of his campaigns, was ever so bitter as were the attacks made by Bryan's old friends against their old leader. As a member of the committee on resolutions, Mr. Bryan returned a minority report on the county plan. This minority report, signed only by Bryan himself, was short and to the point, saying simply: "We favor county option as the best method of dealing with the liquor question." As in defense of this report that Mr. Bryan made in a speech which will be called the greatest effort of his life. The sentiment towards Bryan was shown when, for more than an hour, the convention called upon different leaders to address it, but not a single one was made for Mr. Bryan. When the final vote was taken, the leaders moved from 145 to 153 and a direct anti-county option plank inserted. REPORTS AMERICANS SAFE Commander Hines Sent to Nicaragua to Protect U. S.

Cowboy Would Have Reversed Proceedings In the Scriptures Judge Ben B. Lindsay of the famous Denver juvenile court said in the course of a recent address in charity: "Too many of us are inclined to think that, one misstep made, the boy is gone for good. Too many of us are like the cowboy. "An itinerant preacher preached to a cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal Son.' He described the foolish prodigal's extravagance and dissipation; he described his penny and his husk eating with the swine in the sty; he described his return, his father's loving welcome, the rejoicing, and the preparation of the fatted calf. "The preacher in his discourse noticed a cowboy staring at him very hard. He thought he had made a convert, and addressing the cowboy person, said from the pulpit: "My dear friend, what would you have done if you had had a prodigal son returning home like that? "Me!' said the cowboy, promptly and fiercely, 'I'd have shot the boy and raised the calf.'—Detroit Free Press. Immense Saving Possible.

C.G.W.MAY BUILD Survey is Being Made From Clarion to Des Moines RUNS ALMOST STRAIGHT LINE If the New Cut Off is, Not Construct ed, it Is Probable that the St. Paul & Des Moines Lines Be Bought... --- Des Moines, July 25.—The Chicago, Great Western Railroad company is making a preliminary survey from Des Moines to Clarion, and it is rumored among railroad men that if the company does not construct a road between these two points it will purchase the St. Paul & Des Moines railroad. The survey is nearly half completed. It is being run almost in a straight line from this city to Clarion. It has long been known that the Great Western wants a shorter line to Des Moines and Kansas City. A branch from Clarion to Des Moines would cut off a considerable distance. The railroad's Chicago to Omaha line passes through Clarion. Local officials of the Great Western state that they know nothing of any negotiations pending for the Great Western's purchase of the St. Paul & Des Moines, the "short line" road. If the Great Western should acquire the "short line" its use would make the Chicago to Des Moines and Kansas City road much shorter. President Samuel E. Felton and a party of other Great Western officials were in Des Moines a few days ago, presumably regarding the survey now being made. Great Iowa Factories Monticello—The Diamond Creamery building, which was burned here two weeks ago, is being replaced by a much larger structure of concrete blocks, with a concrete foundation and cement floors.

Des Molines, Iowa.—"Publicity is an educator, a purifier, a preventive of crime. It is the modern-day method of doing business. It is followed in all lines of dealings that enforce honesty." This was the keynote of a strong paper on the value of publicity in public affairs, read before the Southern Iowa Editorial association by the author, S. M. Greene, of Chariton. The dishonest public official was pointed out as a persistent dodger of publicity. "Keep it out of the paper," was given as the slogan of those whose conception of the public trust placed in them is faulty. Publicity, which the unscrupulous officials fear most, was prescribed as the most effective remedy for the stamping out of public graft. So well was the paper received that steps were taken immediately by the association for the printing of the article in all the papers of the state. The editors believe it will serve as a warning to public officials who are engaged in dishonest proceedings and awaken the public to the fact that they are entitled to know what its servants are doing with its money. Officers were elected by the Southern Iowa Editorial association as follows: President—J. Anderson, Indianola Herald. Vice president—Horace Barnes, Alba Republican. Secretary-treasurer—O. E. Hull Lcon Reporter. Resolutions of thanks were adopted naming the Greater Des Moines committee, the Commercial club, the Press club, L. Young and Harvey Ingham.

SKIN TROUBLES SKIN TROUBLES A Healing Ointment With a Wide Range of Usefulness A letter from Mrs. I. E. Cameron, Graduate Nurse, Augusta, Me., says: "I must write and tell you the good Resinol Ointment has done. I applied it to an ulcerated leg of six months' standing. Almost everything had been tried to heal it. Resinol was applied twice a day for four weeks, and the ulcers are entirely healed. It is now six months since the treatment and no indication of a return of the trouble. I have used Resinol for eruptions on children's faces, and for everything that seemed to need an ointment, with satisfactory results in every case." Mrs. F. Cox, Chicago, Ill., says in another letter: "I cannot speak too highly of Resinol Ointment and Soap. They cured my baby boy of Eczema. He had a very severe case.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlals, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken en wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen patients that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail ever. Then the families tried a drugist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh, 1650 West Huron St., Chicago, Ill., June 29, 1909." Silenced the Critic Charles Summer, when in London gave a ready reply. At a dinner given in his honor, he spoke of the "ashes" of some dead hero. "Ashes! What American English!" rudely broke in an Englishman; "dust you mean, Mr. Summer. We don't burn our dead in this country." "Yet," instantly replied Mr. Summer, with a courteous smile, "your poet Gray tells us that 'Even in our ashes live their wonted fires.' The American was not criticized again that evening. The Deacon's Parable A self-conscious and egotistical young clergyman was supplying the pulpit of a country church.

Some of us may be glad to be told that there are only ten life mistakes, for there seem to be so many more, but a recent writer has catalogued them. Perhaps these are only the ten leading ones from which the smaller errors arise. Let's look over the list and see how many of them are ours: First, to set up our own standard of right and wrong and judge people accordingly; second, to measure the enjoyment of others by our own; third, to expect uniformity of opinion in this world; fourth, to look for judgment and experience in youth; fifth, to endeavor to mold all dispositions alike; sixth, to look for perfection in our own actions; seventh, to worry ourselves and others with what cannot be remedied; eighth, to refuse to yield in immaterial matters; ninth, to refuse to alleviate, so far as it lies in our power, all which needs alleviation; tenth, to refuse to make allowance for the infirmities of others. Tit for Tat. Being of a literary turn and having plenty of leisure, both Mr. and Mrs. Gluppins contributed special articles occasionally to two different newspapers in the town where they resided. One day Mr. Gluppins picked up manuscript his wife had just finished, and proceeded to look it over. "That's very good, Bertha," he said, after completing his inspection, "but I see you use the phrase, 'well-known fact.' I wouldn't do that." His wife said nothing in reolender at the time, but a few days later, while reading one of his articles in print, she found something to criticize. "Horace," she said, "I am surprised to see you using the phrase, 'self-evident.'" "What's the matter with that?" "Why, if a thing is self-evident, what is the use of calling attention to it?" Horace looked at her sharply over his glasses, but made no verbal response. "Youth's Companion. Try This. This Summer.

Park College, DES MOINES, IOWA a Chew Not dry and dusty like fine cut that has and dust in the dealer's sweet They're polishing the sands of the seashore. An aeroplane does not seem to be mightier than its motor. An Illinois professor says skunks are edible. So are onions. "Patience is essential to fishing," says the Detroit News. So is good bait. Now some scientist suggests the vaccination of foodstuffs. We don't believe it will take. Once in awhile an automobile driver runs down a pedestrian, and once in awhile a motor cyclist doesn't. A New York doctor who has fasted 31 days lost 55 pounds. But it should be noted that he had them to lose. If aeroplanes are used for carrying the mails, will the franks of the congressman entitle them to Tree rides? An aeroplane-motorcycle-auto race is a novelty today, but what would it have been ten or fifteen years ago? With $30,000,000 worth of irrigation bonds on hand there should be no lack of moisture for the crops of the west and northwest. By general consent Professor Wood, who declares that skunks are good to eat, will be allowed to have the entire supply for his own use. The small-boy-boy situation is likely to be on the increase, now that the aviation-experiment must have seized upon the fancy of adventurous youth. Massachusetts man wishes release from the bonds of matrimony because his wife keeps thirty-one cats. Why didn't he buy a dog or so? When we have inter-collegiate aviation contests the rain of undergraduates from the skies is likely to make football seem a tame and effete diversion. Aeroplane torpedoes directed by wireless! If Baron Munchausen had thought of this, his stories would have been relected as too fantastic to be funny. Says a cable from Calcutta: "Three men are reported frozen to death, and six killed by sunstroke in India, today." India must be nearly as big as Texas! The sultan of Sulu, who is coming to visit this country, will be welcome, and the people would be glad to see the celebrated wizard of Oz at the same time. The average salary of the American preacher is but $663 a year. This is pretty small when you remember what it costs the preacher to have donation parties at his house. The Zeppelin airship was exactly on time at every station, perhaps owing to the fact that she was not compelled to wait anywhere for little jerk-water airships to make connections. If the man in New York who now has a jawbone of solid gold possesses in addition a tongue of silver, an iron nerve and a grip of steel, he may aptly and accurately be described as a man of mettle. The foreign professors at the Imperial university in Peking insist that a chair of housecleaning be installed if they are to continue in their posts. Even the lore of the ages is the better for an occasional dusting. A judge having a speed maniac before him, the judge prisoner to see a doctor, but the judge failed to give his advice the fullest effect, since a reliable prison doctor would be able to give the most effective treatment. A hasty glimpse at the children's magazines shows that they are instructing the youth of the land in the method of making airships and wireless telegraph outfits. At last the boys are finding something to play with that their fathers cannot show them how to run. The Cincinnati man who carries his own street railway strap is giving the public of that city an example of ultra precaution in the baffling of stray germs. There are doubtless germs without number on car straps, but if the man with the individual strap were to carry his precautions into all of his daily activities he would be exposed to germs in the struggle against germs would doubtless soon reduce the num- If you take advantage of this discouraging spell and let yourself be coaxed artfully, you can get a pretty fair rate at the beach hotel or the farm boarding house for the summer. There seems to be practically no limit to the uses to which the automobile can be put. It is aautomobile on an experiment on a demonstration in Indiana having demonstrated the value of the machine as a saver of labor and cost. Will the next thing be plowing, sowing and reaping by the aid of an airship? We hate to hear aviators spoken of as being in "the third leg" of their course. Legs are not used by the bird man. A Long Island man who took the unwritten law into his own hands was convicted of murder. The sentiment is growing against the right and justice of allowing a man to be judge, jury and executioner in the case of his own wrong, especially in the case of the least of these ground for mistakes in such harsh and one-sided action. HARDING IS CHOSEN NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR BY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IN OHIO. ONLY THREE BALLOTS TAKEN Platform Being an Expression by President's Own State and Indored by Him Will Be Made Model by Other Republican Gatherings. Columbus, O.—By a fusion of the Garfield and administration delegates, the Republican convention Thursday nominated Warren G. Harding, former lieutenant governor, for governor on the third ballot, after James R. Garfield and Carmi A. Thompson had withdrawn. F. W. Treadway of Cleveland was renamed for lieutenant governor; Granville W. Moore for secretary of state. Despite the efforts of Senator Burton's Cuyahoga county delegation to staffede the convention for Nicholas Longworth, and George B. Cox's every effort in behalf of Judge O. B. Brown, the Dayton man, the combination of the "progressives" with the national administration to broke up the fight between the ballot. Then Cox, yielding to the inevitable, cast the 91 Hamilton votes for Harding, and that finished it. The platform which it is expected will be a model for future Republican conventions, was adopted almost unanimously, there being but a few scattered "noes." The salient features follow: President Taft's administration is commended in highest terms, particular praise being given for the action taken against the sugar trust, the prevention of a raise in freight rates by the railroads, the indictment of the cotton pool and the work of the Sixty-first congress. Faith in the Payne-Aldrich tariff law is affirmed because "it does not raise the rate of duty on a single commodity" and also because the increases made on luxuries and articles not of common use." Revival of the merchant marine and an adequate national defense is urged. An employers' liability law is favored and the establishment of a commission to investigate the question is praised. The principle of conservation is indented and a demand made for the enforcement of the existing laws and enactment of new measures. A limit on the tax rate to ten mills for all purposes is favored, as is supervision of all public utilities by a commission and the ratification of the income tax by the federal constitution. STRIKE AFFECTS 28,000 MEN Chicago Trades Council Calls Out All Building Workmen Except Elevator-penners—37 Structures Affected. Chicago.—A general strike of building trades was decided upon at a conference of thirty-seven unions Thursday, which met in a final effort to obtain a settlement with the Otis Elevator company. It is said the strike order will affect 28,000 men. The only union not affected by the order is that of the carpenters. The cause of the strike is the refusal to remove mechanists from elevator construction work, the American Federation of Labor having held this line of work to belong strictly to elevator constructors. It is said the company has contracts on thirty-seven buildings, now in the course of construction here, and that work will be stopped on all of them. Following the strike order, business agents representing their respective unions hurried to buildings in which the Otis company has contracted to build the purpose of notifying the men of the decision taken at the conference. ADOPT LOCAL OPTION PLANK fowa Democratic Convention Denounces Tariff Bill as "Masterpiece of injustice." Otumwa, Ia.—After a bitter wrangle in the resolutions committee, the Democratic state convention Thursday adopted a bill setting the liquor question which has been a thorn in the flesh of both parties for years, squarely up to the people. Jerry B. Sullivan of Des Moines, former candidate for governor, acted as temporary chairman, and scored Theodore Roosevelt unmercifully in his speech. The platform adopted denounces the tariff bill as a "masterpiece of injustice involving remorseless exactions from the many to enrich the few." The nomination of Claude R.

STRIKE BREAKERS QUIT WORK TRAINMEN ARE TERRIFIED BY SOUTH BEND MOBS. Grand Trunk Officials Will Continue Yard Service As Soon As New Crews Are Obtained. South Bend, Ind.-With its crews short-handed the Grand Trunk railroad had difficulty in moving freight in and out of this city, but the few trains that were operated met no interference from strike sympathizers. Mayor Goetz and General McKee of the Indiana national guard, after a conference announced it was apparent no further roting was imminent and the presence of state troops would not be necessary. They said that not the strikers but disorderly looters has caused the trouble of the last several days. The nonunion men worked for two days in the midst of a mob, but they quit. Several admitted that they feared to work longer. Railroad officials are determined to continue the yard engine service, and the locomotives will be started at work again as soon as crews can be secured. Only one engine has been started out thus far. A crowd of 1,500 to 2,000 men and boys, sympathizers, made an effort Monday night to burn a refrigerator car that had been switched on a crossing west of Oliver's Station. The city fire department succeeded in quenching the flames after the car had blazed for 20 minutes or more. Durand, Mich.—There were several strike disturbances here and many arrests. A special officer in the Grand Trunk trunk was assaulted by an alleged strike sympathizer and the railroad company is said to have notified the sheriff that unless twenty-five additional officers were sworn in it would appeal to the governor aid from the state militia. Twenty-five strikebreakers left their trains here at the entreaties of the strikers and several trains were delayed many hours. RAWN WAS WORTH MILLION Will of Stain Railroad Chief Filed for Probate—Wildow Gets All—Home Under Guard. Chicago—To Mrs. Florence Willis Rawn, widow of the late I. G. Rawn, president of the Monon railroad, who was found dead last Wednesday in his summer home in Winnetka, is given all the property left by the late rail- road chief, according to the terms of his will, filed with the assistant clerk of the probate court Monday. Mrs. Rawn is named executrix under the will. The estate is supposed to be valued at over $1,000,000. A guard h.a. been placed in the Rawn home by Samuel H. Greeley, president of the village board of Winnetka, because he has learned the material evidence as to facts concerning the death of the official have been and may be suppressed." A letter was sent to Mrs. Rawn notifying her that Marshal Coutre of Winnetka would take charge of the premises until after the ingest. J. T. Harahan, president of the Illinois Central railroad, joined forces with the Chicago police in their efforts to solve the mystery surrounding the tragic death of Mr. Rawn. In a conference with Assistant Chief of Police Herman Schuettert President Harahan turned over all of the evidence in the Illinois Central graft investigation that involved Mr. Rawn. GUTHRIE IS THE CAPITAL State Officers of Oklahoma Must Return, But Governor May Go Where He Pleases. Guthrie, Okla.—The state supremo court handed down a decision in the capitol removal case. It is to the effect that Oklahoma's capital shall remain at Guthrie until the legality of the election recently held is determined. In obedience to the decision all state officials other than the governor, who have removed their offices to Oklahoma, must return to Guthrie and stay there until the courts have finally decided the capital controversy. The governor may go where he pleases, but legally his official acts must appear as having been performed in Guthrie.

Commoner's Battle Against Liquor Vain, Despite Great Speech on the Convention Floor. Grand Island, Neb.-Nebraska Democrat Tuesday night delivered a blow to William J. Bryan when by a deceive vote the registered their unbelief in his county local option plan. Mr. Bryan had labored hard in the committee in an effort to have his ideas written into the platform, and after being defeated in the committee, he appealed to the convention and in this appeal made the speech of his life to a convention already instructed against him. He pleaded to his old friends, begged them not to repudiate him unless they found him untrue to Democratic principles; he threatened statewide prohibition if county option was defeated; he denounced those Democrats whom he charged with being subservient to the liquor interests; and he cajoled the uninstructed delegates to vote for him and his plans. These them stood aside, listened to the most bitter words directed at him that he has ever heard. No attack made against Bryan by Republicans or others, in any of his campaigns, was ever so bitter as were the attacks made by Bryan's old friends against their old leader. As a member of the committee on resolutions, Mr. Bryan returned a minority report on the county option plank. This minority report, signed only by Bryan himself, was short and to the point, saying simply: "We favor county option as the best method of dealing with the liquor. We are not of this report that Mr. Bryan made the speech which will be called the greatest effort of his life. The sentiment towards Bryan was shown when, for more than an hour, the convention called upon different leaders to address it, but not a single one was made for Mr. Bryan. When the final vote was taken, Bryan's plank was turned down 645 to prevent direct anti-count option plank inserted. REPORTS AMERICANS Commander Hines Sent to Nicaragua to Protect U. S. Citizens, Sees No Danger. Washington.-American lives and property in northeastern Nicaragua were asserted to be in no danger according to the state department's version of a department from Commander Hines of the gunboat Dubuque. The dispatch was sent after the return to Bluefields of the gunboat Tacom, from a trip along the coast north of that port, where danger was reported to Americans.

Cowboy Would Have Reversed Procedures and Included in the Scriptures Judge' Ben B. Lindsay of the famous Denver juvenile court said in the course of a recent address in charity: "Too many of us are inclined to think that, one misstep made, the boy is gone for good. Too many of us are like the cowboy. "An itinerant preacher preached to a cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal Son.' He described the foolish prodigal's extravagance and dissipation; he described his penny and his husk eating with the swine in the sty; he described his return, his father's loving welcome, the rejoicing, and the preparation of the fatted calf. "The preacher in his discourse noticed a cowboy starting at him very hard. He thought he had made a convert, and asked the cowperson, also, to the pulpit: "My dear friend, what would you have done if you had had a prodigal son returning home like that?" "Me!' said the cowboy, promptly and fiercely, 'I'd have shot the boy and raised the calf.'"—Detroit Free Press.

These institutions represent an annual expenditure of over $1,000,000,000 days of treatment given each year. The bulletin, which is part of an extensive study the National association is making for its bureau of information, points out that the country could save annually at least $150,000,000 if the indigent consumptives were properly segregated.

MAY BUILD Survey is Being Made From Clarion to Des Moines RUNS ALMOST STRAIGHT LINE If the New Cut Off is. Not Constructed, it is Probable That the St. Paul & Des Moines Lines Will Be Bought. Des Moines, July 23.—The Chicago, Great Western Railroad company is making a preliminary survey from Des Moines to Clarion, and it is rumored among railroad men that if the company does not construct a road between these two points it will purchase the St. Paul & Des Moines railroad. The survey is nearly half completed. It is being run almost in a straight line from this city to Clarion. It has long been known that the Great Western wants a shorter line to Des Moines and Kansas City. A branch from Clarion to Des Moines would cut off a considerable distance. The railroad's Chicago to Omaha line passes through Clarion. Local officials of the Great Western state that they know nothing of any negotiations pending for the Great Western's purchase of the St. Paul & Des Moines, the "short line" road. If the Great Western should acquire the "short line" its use would make the Chicago to Des Moines and Kansas City road much shorter. President Samuel E. Felton and a party of other Great Western officials were in Des Moines a few days ago, presumably regarding the survey now being made. Great Iowa Factories Monticello--The Diamond Creamery building, which was burned here two weeks ago, is being replaced by a much larger structure of concrete blocks, with a concrete foundation and cement floors.

Des Molines, Iowa—"Publicity is an educator, a purifier, a preventive of crime. It is the modern-day method of doing business. It is followed in all lines of dealings that enforce honesty." This was the keynote of a strong paper on the value of publicity in public affairs, read before the Southern Iowa Editorial association by the author, S. M. Greene, of Chariton. The dishonest public official was pointed out as a persistent dodger of publicity. "Keep it out of the paper," was given as the slogan of those whose conception of the public trust placed in them is faulty. Publicity, which the unscrupulous officials fear most, was prescribed as the most effective remedy for the stamping out of public graft. So well was the paper received that steps were taken immediately by the association for the printing of the article in all the papers of the state. The editors believe it will serve as a warning to public officials who are engaged in dishonest proceedings and awaken the public to the fact that they are entitled to know what its servants are doing with its money. Officers were elected by the Southern Iowa Editorial association as follows: President—J. Anderson, Indianola Herald. Vice president—Horace Barnes, Alba Republican. Secretary-treasurer—O. E. Hull Leon Reporter. Resolutions of thanks were adopted naming the Greater Des Moines committee, the Commercial club, the Press club, L. Young and Harvey Ingham.

Cameron, Graduate Nurse, Augusta, Me., says: "I must write and tell you the good Resinol Ointment has done. I applied it to an ulcerated leg of six months' standing. Almost everything had been tried to heal it. Resinol was applied twice a day for four weeks, and the ulcers are entirely healed. It is now six months since the treatment and no indication of a return of the trouble. I have used Resinol for eruptions on children's faces, and for everything that seemed to need an ointment, with satisfactory results in every case." Mrs. F. Cox, Chicago, Ill., says in another letter: "I cannot speak too highly of Resinol Ointment and Soap. They cured my baby boy of Eczema. He had a very severe case. Numerous other remedies had been tried and failed to do any good. I would not be without them in the house."

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlals, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were struck en wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail what ever. Then the families tried a drugist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cutcucra Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh, 1650 West Huron St., Chicago, Ill., June 29, 1900." Silenced the Critic Charles Sumner, when in London, gave a ready reply. At a dinner given in his honor, he spoke of the "ashes" of some dead hero. "Ashes! What American English!" rudely broke in an Englishman; "dust you mean, Mr. Sumner. We don't burn our dead in this country." "Yet," instantly replied Mr. Sumner, with a courteous smile, "your poet Gray tells us that 'Even in our ashes live their wonted fire.' The American was not criticized again that evening. The Deacon's Parable. A self-conscious and egotistical young clergyman was supplying the pulpit of a country church. After the service he asked one of the deacons, a grizzled, plain-spoken man, what he thought of his morning effort. "Waan," answered the old man, slowly, "I'll tell ye in a kind of parable.

LEADING MISTAKES IN LIFE Writer Has Recorded Ten, of Which Most of Us Assuredly Have Our Share. Some of us may be glad to be told that there are only ten life mistakes, for there seem to be so many more, but a recent writer has catalogued them. Perhaps these are only the ten leading ones from which the smaller errors arise. Let's look over the list and see how many of them are ours: First, to set up our own standard of right and wrong and judge people accordingly; second, to measure the enjoyment of others by our own; third, to expect uniformity of opinion in this world; fourth, to look for judgment and experience in youth; fifth, to endeavor to mold all dispositions alike; sixth, to look for perfection in our own actions; seventh, to worry ourselves and others with what cannot be remedied; eighth, to refuse to yield in immaterial matters; ninth, to refuse to alleviate, so far as it lies in our power, all which needs alleviation; tenth, to refuse to make allowance for the infirmities of others. Tlt for Tat. Being of a literary turn and having plenty of leisure, both Mr. and Mrs. Gluppins contributed special articles occasionally to two different newspapers in the town where they resided. One day Mr. Gluppins picked up a manuscript his wife had just finished, and proceeded to look it over. "That's very good, Bertha," he said, after completing his inspection, "but I see you use the phrase, 'well-known fact.' I wouldn't do that." "Why not?" she asked. "Well, if a thing is well-known, why mention it?" His wife said nothing in rejoinder at the time, but a few days later, while reading one of his articles in print, she found something to criticize.

A. Knowing Girl. When young Lord Stanleigh came to visit an American family, the mistress told the servants that in addressing him they should always say "Your Grace." When the young gentleman one morning met one of the pretty house servants in the hallway and told her that she was so attractive looking he thought he would kiss her, she demurely replied, clasping her hands on her bosom and looking up into his face with a beatifle expression, "O Lord, for this blessing we are about to receive, we thank thee."—Lippincott's.

(Wholalee Milliner) BUTLER & MILLER French and American Pattern Hats Beginning August in Stockholm, August 1 There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard more women's secrets than any other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. A woman have been disappointed in their peculiarities is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent of all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a-million women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of many occasions he has received from women, as the first of many sick women may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely without charge.

S. Joe Brown, Attorney for Plaintiff. Protective Device. When a telephone line is electrically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his ear as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover for the receiver, the capacity of which is somewhat greater than that of the body. No More Gold Lace for Afghans. No More Gold Lace for Afghanis. The ameer has published an edited 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 showy 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. Proper Bestowal of Charity. 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 on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly within the sight and hearing of the most unobservant person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the playwright must have his. Twenty-Five Cents is the Price of Peace.

College Course In Politics To Columbia university belongs the credit of offering the first course designed to give students a practical knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution has asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members of the class the benefit of the experience it has derived from the study of the affairs of that city, and the invitation has been accepted. The growing demand for the adoption of the scientific methods of city governments lends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this department of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a university course established on the lines indicated by the innovation at Columbia. Haitiana a Lazy Lot. Sydney Brooks, writing to the London Chronicle about Haiti, says the Haitians were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing in Lesite's Weekly, says of Haiti: "In that little republic, covering about 10,000 square miles, within five days' sail of New York, can may encounter more strange complications and a greater disregard for human life than in the remote countries of the east. Situated in the very heart of the West Indies, where civilization exists in a high degree, Haiti alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independent state more than 100 years ago. Her rich lands were already under cultivation, but the lazy natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and forests have grown up instead." Farm Employment for Criminals. Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary who are not confirmed criminals be transferred to the reformatory and put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness is frequently the cause of drink. There is little drink in the country and practically no idleness. If the young man who had slipped over the bounds of a law were taught scientific farming he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down where he returns to the city." Milk an Intoxicant New York City alone consumes an annually 840,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,300,000 quarts a day. And this does not include mothers' milk for infants; just cows' milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults. "Milk," says Emerson, "is readily made intoxicating in warm climates slaply by agitation. This feature was quickly discovered." Being placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back, it was agitated by the motion of the hunter and fermentation was soon well under way. The skin was undoubtedly none too clean, some milk of the previous day being left in it, which would act as a leaven. Subscribe for the Bystander.
