Taft Of Ohio FOR VICE PRESIDENT JAMES S. SHERMAN Of New York The Negro Democrats that journeyed to Denver despite the torrid weather were giveu chilly reception The political dope man is now busy compounding prescriptions to cure all ills of the body politic. Local politics even at this time are coming to the front and many patriots are in a receptive mood to serve the dear people. The band boys who have worked so faithfully to get together the organization certainly entitled to the support of the public for their entertainment st Central Park Aug. 4 th, the proceeds go toward paying the balance on their instruments, and for their new uniforms, give them a lift. It is a disgrace to Helena that the officials allow two or three little dirty ham fat restuarant, hang up signs which do no good other than to create predjudice against a loyal part of their citizen-ship. It is a practise that should by all means be stopped. In 1892 some of our people said that they wanted a change in the affairs of our goverment, they they Got It and with it the Wilson Bill, also Coxeys Army and Free Soup Houses galore. So it is more than likely that one change of that kind is sufficient for a century. The democratic platform is all things to all men the Devil take the hindmost. Brownsville would pale into insignificance to the wrongs that would be perpretrated upon the race, with the statesmanship of old Ben Tillman, Jeff Davis and Vardaman in the saddle. And now the Elks will in all probability .present Mr. Phalen a demon in Lieu the gold ring for his aggressive efforts in defeuding JIM CROW LAWS. The fight for a principle carried to the highest court by W. R. Holland for a principle is to be highly commended, as he single handed and alone paid the expense of this litigation and he is worth more to the progress of the race than a thousand agitators who produce nothing but hot air and theorize. The man of the hour is the one Who Does Things. NO JIM CROW LAWS FOR MONTANA In a decision by the supreme court last week it was decided that the law placed on the Montana Statutes to prohibit Colored Elks form wearing the insigua of their order in this State was unconstitutional and void. The same decision has been hauded down all along the line where the courts have not blinded by predjudice and with the able jurist which preside over judicial destinies of Montana it was a foregone conclusion that when this case was submitted to them that it would receive exact justice at their hands and that the veneer of predjudice would be thrown aside, the case should never been allowed to get out of the justice court on question of facts but prejudice reigned supreme and cheap politics held sway all along the line but at the supreme court these cheap subterfuges were up against the real thingbut of no avail. The supreme court of this State have shown that the JIM CROW law has no standing before that tribunual and that the 14th amendment is as good as any other amendment to our constitution whichapplies to all regard less of race creed or previous condition of servitude. In a republican jurist JIM CROWISM has a rocky road to travel NEGRO DEMOCRATS take notice. AND WHO ARE THEY The Press reports have that P. C. Tomas of Kansas, W. F Scott of Ills. and Geo. E.Taylor of Iowa called on W. J. Bryan at Lincoln and pledged to him a major portion of the Negro vote Now we do not doubt for a moment that this galaxy of Negro democrates will diliver anything that they can at so much per. We know P. C. Tomas very well as the King pin of Negro democrats who is always seeking some cause for an argument and excuse to support the democratic ticket he is a known democrat held political jobs under democrats only in Kansas aud while a jolly good fellow is known as a slicker and tries hard to get the money. And as to Scott of Ills.he is also a degruntled and discredited republican who has long since gone over with the democrats was one of the prime movers in the Liberty party four years ago at St. Louis when the Negro democrats tried to throw the Negros off the scent by organizing an independedt party. And Taylor of Iowa Tompson of Desmoines says that he is a discredited Negro democrat of that State and of no consequence so it can be seen at a glance the class that is doing all of the hollering for Bryan, and when the whole movement is summed up it is about on a parity with the above gentlemen. A lot of discredited republicans and Negro democrats are making a noise and getting in the SPOT LIGHT TO G T THE COIN. ALL IN READINESS FOR THE BIG DOING'S AT CENTRAL PARK AUG. 4TH.

Bishop Potter Is Dead Bishop Potter Is Dead Cooperville, N. Y., July 2 2.—Henry Coduman Potter, seventh Protestant Episcopal bishop of the diocese of New York, died Tuesday night at Fernleigh, his summer home here, after an illness of several weeks aged 74 years. The bishop was unconscious all day and the end, which came at 8:45 in the evening, was peaceful and quiet. No arrangements for the funeral have been made, but it is probable that services will be held here and that the body will be removed to New York, where apublic funeral will be held at Grace church. Bishop Potter's illness first became publicly known in the spring, when an onocement was made that he was unable to take part in the Easter service. A diagnosis showed that the bishop was suffering from a stomach and liver malady, and after it was given out in May that he would not be able to attend the Pan-Anglican conference, June 21, arrangements were made to bring the bishop here when his condition would permit the journey. Henry Codman Potter, a son of Bishop Alonzo Potter, and himself a bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church, was born at Schenectady, N. Y., May 25, 1835. He was educated at the Episcopal academy in Philadelphia and the Theological seminary of Virginia.

Y., (1859), assistant at Trinity church, Boston (1866) and rector of Grace church, New York (1868). In 1883 he was chosen assistant bishop of New York and on the death of his uncle, Bishop Horatio Potter, in 1887, he became bishop.

The new battleship Montana has been accepted by the navy department. Captain Alfred Reynolds is in charge. W. A. Woods, master mechanic at the Cary works on the St. Regis cutoff of the Northern Pacific, was drowned in the Missoula river recently. The body has not yet been recovered.

James Hayes, a veteran of the Boer war, made a statement at Missoula to an official of the immigration office, in which he confessed to the murder of a comrade in the British army in 1900. A report will be forwarded at once to Washington, it is said, and the matter will be taken up with the Canadian government. Hayes has been found sane by a commission of Missoula physicians. The supreme court has declared unconstitutional the law passed by the last legislature making it a misdemeanor for non-members of secret or fraternal societies to wear badges, emblems or insignia of such fraternity. The case was on appeal from Helena, where a colored man had been fined $50 for wearing an Elk pin. The court also refused to issue a writ of mandamus compelling the prison board to award the contract for keeping prisoners to the Butte firm which submitted the lowest bid, holding the board had a right to take over the institution and conduct it under the supervision of a warden.

That Big Fine Only a Joke Chicago, July 23.—By unanimous opinion of the United States circuit court of appeals for the seventh district, the famous case of the government against the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, in which the latter was fired $29,240,000 by Judge Landis in the district court, must be retrieved. The government has 30 days in which to file a petition for a rehearing, and it was announced that it will be filed within the allotted period. The court of appeals differs from the trial court on three points, holding that Judge Landis excluded evidence for the Standard Oil Company of Indiana which should have been admitted to show proper intent in the rate the company paid on oil; that he erred in considering each car lot a separate offense, and that in imposing the maximum fine for the first offense he abused the disreception vested in his court. It is strange doctrine, says the opinion, whereunder a million-dollar corporation such as the defendant—the Standard Oil Company of Indiana—may be fired 29 times the amount of its capital stock in order to punish a defendant too even under indictment. If this latter is meant the parent company, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. The Mexican porter handles loads of 400 pounds with ease.

TRAIN STRIKES AUTO SIX PEOPLE KILLED NEAR FT. WAYNE, INDIANA. Noise of Departing Freight Train Drowned Sound of Approaching Passenger Train and Hit Loaded Automobile Square in Center—Occupants Were Prominent Social Leaders. Columbia City, Ind., July 20.—Six persons were instantly killed when an automobile in which they were riding from Fort Wayne to Lake Wawasee was struck by a passenger train a mile southwest of Columbia City late Saturday afternoon. The dead: Charles S. King; Mrs. Charles S. King; Josephine King, aged 12; Catherine King, aged 14; Fama Bradshaw, aged 14; Earl Timmins, chaufeur. All were from Fort Wayne. King and his family and the Bradshaw girl, a friend of his daughters, were on their way to Wawasee to spend Sunday. They left Fort Wayne shortly after noon and when they reached the railroad crossing where the accident occurred, found it blocked by a freight train. The automobile was stopped until the tack was clear and immediately afterward the chaufeur started the car across the tracks. The four of the departing freight train drowned the sound of an approaching passenger train on the opposite track at high speed. When the automobile was in the middle of the tracks the passenger train struck it squarely and with terrific force. The people in the automobile were hurled in all directions and one of them was carried on the pilot of the engine for a quarter of a mile before the train was brought to a stop. All six were instantly killed. The bodies were brought to Columbia City and relatives in Fort Wayne were notified. All the victims were prominent in Fort Wayne, where the Kings were social leaders. The bodies were horribly mangled, every bone in the bodies of the two children being broken. The railroad will start an investigation, though it is believed the trainmen could not have averted the accident. Mr. King was agent for the Prudential Life Insurance company and formerly was a member of the Indianapolis, Wabash company, chairman of the ways and means committee. He was a member of the Columbia club at Indianapolis and well known throughout the state. Mr. King was one of the best known republicans of Indiana and has taken a prominent part in public affairs. His daughters were aged 12 and 14 years. Miss Bradshaw was 14 years old and was a neighbor of the King family, whose guest she was to be over Sunday at the King cottage at Lake Wawasee. WASHINGTON ITEMS. I. K. Luce, a prominent farmer six and a half miles west of Palouse, has a lemon grown on a tree in his yard which weighs one and a quarter pounds. The tree was grown by Mr. Luce from a seed and bears several lemons each year. For the second time within three months, the five small children of A. Jones, until recently engaged in farming near Palouse City, are left penniless and helpless, to depend upon the charity of the people or to live at the expense of the county. Following upon the heels of the cutting scrape recently at Connell, the county officials have ordered all saloons and all business houses closed at midnight Saturday night and to remain closed during Sunday. All business ceased at Ellensburg during the funeral services for the victims of the powder house explosion recently. What remained of the shattered bodies, with the exception of the body of George Meade, the company's store manager, were buried in the cemetery at Clealum. The cause of the explosion is still unknown. Officials of the company believe that the explosion was the result of rolling cans of powder over grains of the explosive which had fallen on the floor. One of the most destructive storms in the history of Lake Chelan occurred last week. Lewis D. Craig has been arrested at Tacoma on the charge of burglary.

With the retirement from active service Sunday of Rear Admiral Burwell, one of the most eventful and honorable careers in the navy will be brought to a close. Admiral Burwell is now commandant of the Puget sound navy yard and has served in every naval station and upon nearly every ship in the service. Some of his friends have given him the title of "Boastful" Burwell because of his bragging about his personal prowess and achievements and his capacity, when his statements are questioned, of winning the resultant bets. He is one of the best rifle and wing shots in the navy. Boston Sees Exciting Times Boston Sees Exciting Times Boston, Mass., July 23.—Two desperadoes Wednesday night shot and killed one man and shot 10 others persons, two fatally, and are hiding in Forest Hills cemetery, with 300 police surrounding the burial grounds. The murders, however, persued by policemen and a crowd of citizens, fled for two miles through the thickly populated section of Jamaica Plains, firing madly right and left, and disappeared in the woods near Franklin park. The men are believed to have been two of the gang of three who robbed a saloon in Jamaica Plains the night before after shooting and killing one man and wounding two others. SHORT SPORTING ITEMS Much interest was centered in the horse race which took place at the Cheney fair grounds Saturday between Wheathauler, owned by Dr. Baker of Sprague, and Hattie Watts, owned by Danny Shields of Ritzville. Hattie Watts won, winning a bet of $500. The race was in no way connected with the market day sales, which is an enterprise conducted by the Commercial club. Mrs. Charles L. Brown, champion woman swimmer of Chicago, accompanied by nine male swimmers, will attempt an eight-mile swim from the Seventy-sixth street pier to the Hyde park crib and back.

A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which is carried through the circulation to all portions of the system. Every muscle, nerve, bone and joint absorbs the acrid, pain producing poison, causing aches, inflammation, stiffness and other well known symptoms of the disease. Permanent relief from the pains and discomfort of Rheumatism cannot be expected from the use of liniments, plasters, and other external treatment which does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to cure Rheumatism the uric acid and inflammatory poison must be expelled from the blood. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism because it is a perfect blood purifier. It goes down into the circulation, neutralizes the uric acid and drives it from the blood. S. S. S. expels the irritating, inflammatory matter which is causing the pain, swelling and other discomfort, enriches the weak, sour blood, and permanently cures Rheumatism. In all forms of Rheumatism, whether acute or chronic, S. S. S. will be found a safe, vegetable remedy, possessing the properties needed to cure, and at the same time a medicine that builds up the entire system by its fine tonic effects.
