Taft Of Ohio FOR VICE PRESIDENT JAMES S. SHERMAN Of New York It looks like Taft and Sheaman will win a walk. Our people who can should send their children to the Western University at Quindaro Kansas,which School is among the foremost in the Country and all departments offer special inducements for the education of our youth. From an economic and all other standpoints the colored vote will best subserve their own interest and hat of their country by giving their support to the republican tick Editor J.L. Thompon of the Iowa ystander is entitled to much credit for the creditable manner in which he arranged for the Annual press meeting everyting was up to the minute. In fsect the whole By- lander Staff did everything they could to make our stay a pleasant he all of which we highly appreciate. The real or supposed disaffection among the colored voters as to their support of the republican ticket yield to a campaign of education as to the results that might and most likely would happen with old in Tillman Vardaman and Jeff Davis at the Helmn with a democratic president and congress With the nomination of the periless leader from the Platte the issue is clean cut and all who stand for prosperity cannot err, as the Lamented Douglass said the Republican party is the ship all else is the Sea. With Vardaman Tillman Hefen and Jeff Davis in the saddle, rose unto the Negros political rights. The Montana. Delegation to the National Convention was alright all along. Broadgauged and right uP to the minute. $ ^{*} $ They looked after the interest of their constituents and when it came to voting they were always in right. they voted solidly against the reduction of southern representation in the convention, which came so near being adopted which would have been a severe blow to the loyal colored republicans and in all mattres of vital importance before the convention Montanas' delegation was there with the goods. FOR THE BEST In the face of events and wrongs supposed or in fact which have been comitted against the race there is at this time a great deal of agition as to just what stand our people should take in the pending campaign. There is a coterie of Negro democrats in the east who are taking advantage of these incidents to creats antipathy against the only party in which these is any hopes this people, selfish Negro democrats see an opening for ill gotten gain and are using it for all it is worth, the same gang was at Kansas City four years ago. But no matter in what guise these parisites on the body politic appear they and their mission is known and there are enough men to stand for the race that will go into the high-ways and hedges and counteract any influence that these dull and disingenous politicians may attempt to the detriment of the race. The thinking men of the race do not believe that because one man did the race an injustice the race should give their support to It's arch enemy, they do not believe that as long as Ben Tillman crazy Vardaman and rattle brained Jeff Davis are leading spirits of Democracy that that party is a safe haven for our people. They still believe not so much in the man as the principles that the two parties stand for. They know that the democratic party has been a failure on all great questions which they have attempted to solve, they know that for the good of our common Country that the revision of the tariff if we are to prosper must be done by republicans. And taking everything in consideration the man who would ask this people support democratic principles in a National Campaign is a blankety Blank Fool. There is in our City a proprietor of a dime Show who may have a lesson to learn of proper deportment and that although he be a boss show man that the whole world does not revolve in that particular spot. And while he poses as a fighter and essays to trespass on other peoples premises he may yet get to the end of his rope a sadder but wiser man.

Treasury Whose matchless Eloquence Even Put to Flight the Negro Democrats At the At the great Quinn Chapel meeting Chicago June 15th. Owing to our strenuous life since our return from the East we have not had time to give a passing review of our trip to Demoines where we attended the Western Negro Press Association and to Chicago where we also attended National Republican convention. Leaving Helena on Sunday the seventh after a perilous trip over temporary trestles and an uncertain road and sustaning at Lincoln Nebraska a painfull injury which threatened to cut short our trip, we arrived in Desmonies Thursday morning the th. one day late for the Press meeting but found on our arrival that for the same reason that we we were delayed, that almost the entire membership of the associa ion had been delayed and that we The Hon.

Cholera has broken out among the troops at Camp Gregg, near Manila. Three scouts and one civilian have died from the disease, and the camp has been placed under quarantine regulations. Lieutenant Jones of the First cavalry and Lieutenant Muldoon of the Philippine scouts have been stricken. William Ellis Corey and his beautiful wife, Mabelle Gilman, have forced the doors of aristocratic society and have dined with princes and royal dukes, says a special from Paris. By a vote of 20 to 14 the senate defeated the state referendum prohibition bill. This probably will end the fight for prohibition in Louisiana at this session. A similar measure was recently defeated in the house. In the last few weeks Stuyvesant Fish, former president of the Illinois Central, is said to have sold approximately 10,000 shares of his Illinois Central holdings. Chester C. Halloway of Los Angeles, Cal., a civil engineer, shot his wife at Portland, and it is believed Mrs. Halloway cannot recover. A love affair. On July 1 the Southern Pacific will operate its shops on full time, furnishing several hundred men double the employment they have had for three months past. In the recent democratic primary, after the hardest fought, bitterest and most picturesque campaign ever known in Tennessee, Governor M. R. Patterson won the gubernatorial nomination over H. W. Carmack. Secretary of War Taft will visit Lincoln, Neb., September 3 to attend the state fair. William J. Bryan has been invited to speak. Leon Sochia, a miner on his way out from Fairbanks, Alaska, while attempting to walk over the trail from Whitehorse to Skagway, was held up 50 miles this side of Whitehorse by three masked men recently and robbed of $450, his winter's savings. Robert Muir, a prominent Manitoba grain merchant and former president of the Winnipeg grain exchange, died recently at Winnipeg. According to a railroad contractor there have been shipped into Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon within the past two years a third of a million laborers, and practically all of these are now out of work and stranded. He said that within the next 60 days 25,000 more men will be idle, and not until work on the Grand Trunk extension in Canada is started will there be any employment for these men. GATE8 PAY8 $10 FOR A SHAVE Visite Mother's Town—Gives $25,000 Farm to Friend. John W. Gates recently visited his mother at St. Charles, Ill., and the town will be gasping over what he did for six months. Politics, the county fair, the price of oats—everything pales into mere gossip alongside of Gates. Epitomized, here is what he did during his five-hour visit. He arose early, got shaved and gave the barber a $10 gold piece, threw showers of half dollars to the street urchins to scramble for, bought a fine stock farm for $25,000 and presented it to an old friend who had always wanted it, bought a 5-cent cigar and smoked it olissfully, picked up a boy and will take him through Europe on an auto mobile tour, kissed his aged mother goodbye, and, with his wife and boy started east. Mr. Gates and his wife came to make a brief visit with his mother, Mrs. A. A. Gates, before they started on a long tour of Europe. ALASKA TRADE. Canada Inviting Retaliation in Pacific Coast Trade. The Canadian government, being convinced that there are Canadian ships with sufficient tonnage on the Pacific to handle the coastwise business, promulgated an order today which excludes all American vessels after August 1. After that date the same regulations will apply on the Pacific coast as on the Atlantic coast of Canada. The order will effect American vessels in the Alaskan trade. SUNDAY ECLIPSE OF SUN Seen at Washington in Advance of Predicted Time. The eclipse of the sun served to attract astronomers and spectators to the United States naval observatory at the national capital Sunday, where that event was observed with keen interest. The day could hardly have been more favorable for the purpose. The first contact occurred 35 minutes and 28 seconds after 9 o'clock this morning, which was 10 seconds ahead of the predicted time, while the second contact occurred 49 minutes and 2 seconds past noon, being 23 seconds ahead of the predicted time. WIND WIPES OUT A TOWN. Razes Thirteen Stores and Homes at Pukawana, S. D. Mitchell, S. D., June 30.—The little town of Pukawana, in Brule county, about 50 miles west of Mitchell, on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, was almost wiped out at 11 o'clock Sunday night by a tornado. No one was injured. Thirteen stores and homes were totally destroyed and every house in town damaged. Two large elevators were blown down across the railroad track, covering a freight car. The railway station was wrecked. On the ranch of Carpenter Sanborn, adjoining the town on the north, all buildings but two were destroyed, entailing a loss of $100,000 or more. The tornado was accompanied by rain and hail, which covered a strip of country three miles wide. All crops in the path of the hailstorm were ruined. A coal car standing on the Milwaukee track was half filled with hailstones. FIVE KILLED BY BY TORNADO One-Third of Clinton, Minn., Utterly Destroyed. Five persons were killed and 25 injured, some probably fatally, by a cyclone which destroyed a portion of Clinton, Minn., Saturday evening. One-third of the town, the residence section, was wiped out. On either side of the town farmhouses and buildings are in ruins and cattle are lying dead in the fields. Contrary to the general rule in tornadoes this storm came rushing out of the northwest instead of the southwest. In five miles its work of devastation was complete and the storm ceased within a mile southeast of town. Its path can be traced for about three miles northeast. HE EULOGIZES CLEVELAND. Behind Closed Doors, Roosevelt Mourns Death. Judson Harmon, attorney general in the late President Cleveland's cabinet. has returned to Cincinnati direct from Princeton, where he attended the Grover Cleveland funeral ceremony. Judge Harmon related an incident at the funeral which seems to have escaped general observation. President Roosevelt, before the funeral, summoned the two former cabinet officers into the chamber of death and delivered to them, with his characteristic energy and force, an exquisite eulogy on the life and the death of Cleveland. It was probably the only eulogy preached at the funeral, and even this was delivered behind closed doors to men who were much in the public eye. Around the bier, with heads bowed, stood former Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith, former Secretaries David R. Francis, Vilas, Richard Olney, John Carlisle, Herbert, Harmon and others. All these and others had been summoned to the bier by President Roosevelt. The chief executive, pointing to the coffin, told of the good deeds and the faith in which Cleveland had died. "It was an impressive as well as a toteful tribute," said Judge Harmon. LATE NEWS ITEMS. Samuel Coulter, a pioneer of Washington nad Oregon, died last Wednesday in Seattle, aged 76 years. A general strike of the lumber workers of western Montana has been called and, as a result, a number of mills are closed down and logging operations have been superseded. The state board of pardons of Idaho has commuted the sentence of Harry Orchard, who was under sentence to hang Friday for the murder of ex-Governor Steuenberg, to imprisonment for life.

Fire recently swept a portion of the business district of Tenino, and before it had been extinguished had caused a loss of $20,000, with very little insurance. Fire destroyed the dry kilns of the Johnston-Dean Lumber company at Rohne near Granite Falls, recently. William Cox, who killed his stepfather, Major Whitted, near Rex, Douglas county, recently, gave himself up to the officers. He claims to have fired the shots which killed Whitted to protect his mother. He is in the county jail at Waterville. Five saloons, a barber shop and a restaurant were burned at North roofer, on the line of the S., P. & S. railway, near Kahlotus, recently. General Manager Claghorn of the Northwestern Improvement company states that no troops had yet been requested for the mines at Clealum and Roslyn, and that he did not fear the strikers would become violent. He said, however, that the strike was not ended and that officials of the unions would perhaps arrive from the east to settle the dispute, as the local officials of the union are unable to control the strikers. IDAHO NOTES. Jay P. Graves, president of the Inland Empire system, recently spent a few days in looking over Lewiston and vicinity and examining maps and charts of the Lewiston & Southeastern, which has been offered to the Spokane railroad builder.

Being induced by the strange actions and persistent barking of his dog to follow the animal, Joseph Eslick, at Helena, did, and the dog took him to the dead body of an unknown man lying over the Great Northern tracks in that city. It is thought that the man died a natural death. No papers by which he could be identified were found, and his pockets were empty. Because he refused to drink with three Italians at Clancy, William G. Whetstone was murdered by the Italians. His head was crushed with a rock. Whetstone was a pioneer of Montana and was highly respected. One of the Italians has been arrested. OREGON NEWS.

BUSINESS IMPROVES WITH THE RAILROADS AND OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT. Better Than for Several Years Back— Says Crop Outlook in West Is Good —Railroads Must Spend Money to Keep Roadbed in Good Shape to Handle Business Offered Them. "Returns from the railroads generally show that those roads not dependent upon coal, steel and lumber industries have been doing well recently," said Commissioner Lane of the Interstate commerce commission recently. "Of course, they have not done so well as last year. Generally they have decided not to make any reduction either in wages or in rates of freight affecting the next three months, which is an indication that they believe that business will keep up. "There are some curious things about prevailing conditions," continued Mr. Lane. "For instance, the Lehigh Valley the other day gave us a report on net earnings for the first five months of this calendar year, to together with similar reports covering the preceding five years, and the showing this year was larger than that of any other year during the period indicated. "The prospect for large crops in the west is extremely good. Railroad men do not expect normal conditions to be resumed immediately, but look for steady improvements. Must Maintain Roadbeds. "The railroads must spend money in maintaining their roadbeds and equipment of their lines in order to meet the demands of commerce, because they are most seriously embarrassed when they are not able to handle business offered them. This was shown by the floating of the Pennsylvania bond issue. "The railway rate act is admitted by candid railroad men themselves to have been of estimable value. The enforcement of the law against rebating and our tenacious purpose to stop discrimination have held them up to a conformity with the law that is without precedent." As to Lumber Industry if Railroads Annual Case. Manufacturers attending the Pacific Coast Lumbermen's meeting at Bellingham, Wash., are deeply interested in the possibility of the railroads appealing from the interstate commerce commission's ruling readjusting rates. While it is not thought likely that an appeal will be taken, the lumbermen state that they are prepared to spend every dollar they have in defending the case. If an appeal is taken lumber conditions will remain unsettled for the next six months and there will be no business worth mentioning until the case is settled, according to Everett C. Griggs, president of the association. ENGLAND' NEW FIGHTER New Type of Battleship Is Driven by Gas. Great Britain is constructing a new type of battleship that will be able to send the huge Dreadnaught to the bottom as easily as the Dreadnaught can sink the Russo-Japanese type of ironclad. The new ship will be called the Foudroyant, and she will cost $12,250,000, which is, $2,250,000 more than was expended on the Dreadnaught. The new monster will have no funnels, and will make no smoke. Her engines will be driven by gas, which, besides taking up less room than steam engines, will allow a greater speed. She will be 550 feet long and will mount-12 great 13.5 guns, while no other battleship now building provides for guns larger than 12 inch. A $60,000,000 DEFICIT. Uncle Sam's Expenditures Large Sum The forthcoming statement of the treasury receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, shows a marked falling off in receipts as compared with the year 1907 and a large increase in the expenditures. The excess of expenditures over receipts for the year will approximate $60,000,000, which has been exceeded only twice since the civil war. In 1894 there was a deficit and in 1899 there was another of a little over $89,000,000, and in each of the four intervening years the receipts fell considerably below the disbursements. Again in 1904 and 1905 there were shortages of $4,177,000 and $23,000,000, respectively. Ice Blocks Bering Sea. Seattle, Wash., June 29.—First to reach Nome of the fleet which sailed June 1, the steamship Victoria, Captain W. H. S. Porter, is first home, arriving Sunday.

Y—Swinging their sweeps with powerful strain which carried their slender sheet through the water at all but a record breaking speed, the Syracuse variety crew won the big four-mile race at urday for university eightoare crews. They headed Columbia by less than one-third of a length and Cornei by a bare length at the finish line after one of the most interesting and most hotly contested regattas of the collegiate racing on the Hudson course. Incidentally, Syracuse took from Cornell the trophy which is the token of victory in this race—the variety challenge cup, presented in 1888 by Dr. Louis L. Seamon, Cornell, to be held by the winner for one year. Cornell carried off the two-mile race for freshmen eight-oared shell for the stewards' cup in handy fashion, going over the course in 9 minutes 29 3-5 seconds, three lengths of open water ahead of Syracuse. Columbia was third, with Wisconsin fourth and Pennsylvania fifth. Barney Oldfield, the greatest character the auto world has ever known, has returned to the trad racing game.

MINES AND MINING. New York.—Lead quiet, $4.47½@4.52½. Lake copper dull, 12¾@12½c. Silver, 63¾c. The appointment of P. F. Roosa as manager of the Dominion Copper company's mines and smelter near Greenwood, B. C., has been made. One of the largest ore bodies ever opened in the state of Washington has been encountered in the property of the Lakeview Mining company, located in the Oroville camp, where a long crosscut tunnel has cut through a gold-copper ledge, which has been demonstrated to be 75 feet in width. The ore encountered is of a high grade, most of it of clean shipping quality, containing high values in gold and copper. A permanent branch of the American Mining congress has been organized in Spokane, entirely separate from the Stopers of the World. The purpose of the congress is the furtherance of mining interests in the field and legislative halls. What is thought to be the most valuable carload of ore yet sent from the south Rossland belt has been shipped by E. Welde & Son from the Mayflower mine. It is galena ore and is said to be worth $1300. The latest strike, and apparently the greatest of all strikes made in the Four Mile country in the Orogrande district, was made a few days ago by A. C. Carpenter and Wisdom brothers on a property located about 1000 feet north from the Comet claim. The ledge was cut into at a depth of about 55 feet, and an assay taken across the face of the ledge for a distance of two feet gave a return of $723.45 a ton. The Rio Janeiro group of three claims between Buffalo Hump and the Florence districts in central Idaho, has been taken under a $20,000 bond by Pittsburg capitalists. The Kimberley mine, located at Golden, a few miles northeast of Loomis Wash., is to be reopened after suspension of operations for nearly a year The directors of the Tonopah Mining company of Nevada have declared a quarterly dividend of 25 cents a share. The death has occurred in a most peculiar manner of two miners named John Erickson and J. A. Cameron, employed at the Centre Star mine. They were killed indirectly by the gas generated by the explosion of the charges and in blasting. Is Your Hair Sick? That's too bad!

YOU'RE TOO THIN Even Slight Catarrhal Derangements of the Stomach Produce Acid Fermentation of th. Food. It's Stomach Catarrh Some people are thin and always remain thin, from temperamental reasons. Probably in such cases nothing can be done to change this personal peculiarity. But there are a large number of people who get thin, or remain thin, who naturally would be plump and fleshy but for some digestive derangement. Thin people lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. Fat is derived from the oily constituents of food. The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in the stomach at all. They are digested in the duodenum, the division of the alimentary canal just below the stomach. The digestion of fat is mainly, if not wholly, the work of the pancreatic juice. This juice is of alkaline reaction, and is rendered inert by the addition of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of the stomach passing down into the duodenum, destroys the pancreatic fluid for digestive purposes. Therefore, the fats are not digested or emulsified, and the system is deprived of its due proportion of oily constituents. Hence, the patient grows thin. The beginning of the trouble is a catarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hyperacidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach. When the food is taken into the stomach, if the process of digestion does not begin immediately, acid fermentation will take place. This creates a hyperacidity of the stomach juices which in their turn prevent the pancreatic digestion of the oils, and the emaciation results. A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eat a sufficient amount of fat-forming foods and the thinness disappears and pluminess takes its place.

The good old Fourth's a comin'—the best day in the year. And little chaps get anxious-like when once its drawin' near; They talk of firecrackers and they dream of the dream; The dear old Fourth was certainly jes' made for little boys. Bill's got a great big cannon, with fuse you have to light. And lots of great big crackers that's filled with dynamite; But I'm a little feller—ain't have as old as he. And I guess that plain torpedoes will have to do for me. Pa says that giant crackers ain't fit for little chaps. He's sore on all toy pistols and hates these paper caps. He don't intend his children shall ever celebrate by blowing off their fingers—he says they'll have to wait. "You're nothin' but a baby," my father says "as yet. And your daddy can't quite spare you; he needs you bad, you bet. Bill's a daddy and crackers? Well, that I know is true. But I guess that plain torpedoes will have to do for you." It's hard to have big brothers and watch them at their play. And jes' to be a little chap and sort o' in the way: To have folks always tell you, you can't do thus and so. Because you're jes, a little chap—not old enough, you know. But man, she takes me tearful, so she takes me in her laq and says, "Why, what's the matter? You're cryin', little chap." Then, as she bends to kiss me, I'm brave as I can be. I guess that main torpedoes are good enough for me. —Louis E. Thayer, in Woman's Home Companion. OLD GLORY. A Salem Skipper Credited with Giving the Flag This Name. HAT the American flag was named Old Glory in 1851 by a Salem (Mass.) skipper named William Driver is asserted by the Boston Globe. He was at that time captain of the brig Charles Doggett. HALIFAX Captain Driver, a successful deep sea sailor, was preparing to shape the brig's course to the southern Pacific. Just before the brig left Salem a young man at the head of a party of friends saluted Captain Driver on the deck of the Doggett and presented him with a large and beautifully made American flag. It was done up in stops and when sent up aloft and broken out to the air Captain Driver christened it Old Glory. He took it to the south Pacific, and years after when old age forced him to relinquish the sea he treasured the flag on an old friend. Captain Driver moved to Nashville, Tenn., in 1857 and died there in 1886. Previous to the outbreak of hostilities between the North and the South Old Glory was flung to the breeze every day from the window of Captain Driver's Nashville house, but when the bullets began to zip and the odor of gunpowder to taint the air the old flag had to be secreted. It was kept out of sight inside a great bed comfortably until Feb. 27, 1862, when Brig. Gen. Nelson's wing of the Union army appeared in Nashville. Captain Driver presented it to the general to be hoisted on the capitol. It was run up by Captain Driver himself. He watched it through the night, and, a heavy wind coming up, he took it down and sent a new flag up in its place. The original Old Glory was preserved and after the death of Captain Driver it was presented by the compiler of the Driver memoirs to the Essex institute at Salem, Mass., where it may now be seen KING CHRISTIAN KICKED HIM Royal Bandmaster Forgot to Play "The Star Spangled Banner." A short time after the Civil War, writes a correspondent of the New York Times, a small fleet of our ships took the then assistant Secretary of the Navy, Gustavus V. Fox, to Europe to cultivate international friendship. While in Copenhagen the late King Christian invited Mr. Fox and the principal officials of his fleet to dine. The following incident of the visit was re- related to me by the late Rear Admiral Alexander Murray, who was then in com- mand of the monitor Augusta: "From my seat at dinner I looked out on the pleasant lawn where the band was stationed. After the principal business of the dinner was over, at the invitation of King Christian the glasses were filled and, all the table being at attention, his majesty爱 and with due formality proposed 'The President of the United States.' Glasses were raised, but the King paused, glued over his shoulder and abruptly left the dining hall. The guests, upon invitation of an aid, resented themselves. "In a few minutes I saw the bandmaster come hurriedly into sight, followed by the King, who kicked him across my field of view. Shortly after the King returned to the dining hall, took his place at the head of the table, and, the guests having risen, again proposed 'The President of the United States.' As he raised his glass the band struck up 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' With a satisfied smile his majesty emptied his glass. "King Christian was democratic and kind and beloved by his people, but all things had to be done decently and in order or he'd know the reason why." Facts About Firecrackers. The greater part of the almost $2,000,000 work of firecrackers annually exported by China comes to New York. And the United States stands next to China in its use of them. Thousands of Chinese men, women and children work at the making of firecrackers, for there are no manufactories there, the work being done by hand. They receive only about $1.40 for making 10,000 firecrackers, laboring from six in the morning until eleven at night seven days a week. So a Chinese woman or child works like a slave for two days to earn what is spent on a few bunches of firecrackers by the urchin bent on doing justice to the Glorious Fourth. Suggestions for Fireworks. One of the latest quips is "paint a small bomb in initiation of a golf ball and let a friend take a whack at it. One of the most propitious places for a firecracker is a fluffy hat, or, better still, the back hair. One of the capital diversions of an evening entertainment is to fasten a p'nwheel to a lace curtain, touch a match to the fuse and see what the Fremen do. Some may prefer a plate glass window for a skyrocket target, but the best authorities agree that it is seen at its best in a crowded dining room.—New York Herald.
