Goin to tend the state convention? asked the old soldier. "I guess so, if I can get off," said the clerk. "I guess you will attend, but how was the commencement exercises, and what do you think of the election of teachers out there?" "That's jes' what I wanted to speak to you about," said the old soldier. "I'm on the war path and I don't care who knows it. The showdown is comin', as Hez Brown used to say when we wuz goin' to have a battle, an' I think befo' this thing is settled somethin' is goin' to drap. You know I told you when I wuz in here the last time I was goin' over to see Dockery; well, I went to see him, an' we had a long talk. Well, the fact uv the matter is, I did all the talkin' and Dockery did the listenin'. But Dockery makes a good listener, sho'. You see I wuz a little timid 'bout goin' to see him 'cause I didn't know 'jes how he stood on the matter, but after I begun tellin' him my troubles, he jes' put down his newspaper an' paid 'tention to me, an' I soon found out he was on the same side of the fence with me, an' I told what the folks wanted, he said well just wait, an' looked out of his window toward the bridge an' winked. But say, you wuzn't at commencement wuz you? Well, you ought to been there. I wouldn't have been there but I heard that Dockery wuz goin' to give out the sheepskins to the boys, an' I thought he would have somethin' to say, so I went up and tuck in the whole show. Dockery didn't get out there until late, an' when he come the president brought him out and an' give him a seat on the stage an' the boys in the gallery all said somethin' in concert two or three times, an' Dockery winked at them, which, I guess, meant jes' wait, an' in the windup he made a speech to the boys, an' said that he was goin' to do all he could to build up that school, an' he know what it would take to do it, an' then winked again, this all meant jes' wait. But 'bout that 'lection I wuz jes' dumfounded when I heard that that board didn't 'lect Clarke, but Clarke wuz too much of a man fur them, you see he is one of the smartest men we got an' can always get a good job, an' wuz goin' to have things right or not at all. I'll tell you there ain't many men got the backbone that that feller has an' that board knows it, too. But they don't care nothin' about Lincoln Institute; they showed that by puttin' a blacksmith at the head of them shops and payin' him $1,200 a year and he claims to be more important than the president, this is the only reason that Clarke wasn't 'lected last week, 'cause he would not consent to let a blacksmith boss him on the hill, and they kept them white janitors, too. I'm glad of one thing, though, that is everybody knows why Clarke wasn't 'lected. But when Dockery 'pints the new board things will get in a better shape out there. This board has lected five heads for that school in one year's time an' they are jes' making a laughin' stock of themselves, an' it shows they don't know what to do, an' the truth of the whole matter is that school is goin' to nothin' as fast as it can. But they tell me the people of the state are risin' up against this kind of doin' an' they aint goin' to stand for it. But Dockery is with the people, and if he had been the board he would have 'lected Clarke two or three times while he was speakin' to the boys; but he'll have things his way soon, an' you'll think an earthquake has struck that hill, an' that aint all, some folks think that some of Ed Butler's kinfolks are on that board, an' Dockery is goin' to look into that matter.'

The basis of assessment is not yet decided upon, but will no doubt be considerably higher than last year. WEATHER AND CROPS. U. S. Department of Agriculture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending June 16, 1902. Columbia, Missouri, June 17, 1902.—The week just closed averaged slightly warmer than usual throughout the state with a high percentage of sunshine. In some of the extreme northern countries the weather has been quite showery, the total rainfall of the week ranging from 1 to over 2 inches, but elsewhere only light showers had fallen, up to Saturday evening, and in a number of the east-central and southeastern counties rain is greatly needed, especially for oats, grasses, potatoes and gardens. In nearly all sections the week has been favorable for the cultivation of corn and that work has been pushed rapidly, considerable corn having been laid by. In a few of the central and western counties some fields are still weedy, but as a rule the crop is in excellent condition and has made rapid progress. In the southern sections some of the earliest fields are beginning to tassel. The weather has also been very favorable for harvest and one of the finest wheat crops that has been raised for years is now being put in shock. Rye is also being cut and is unusually fine. Cotton is doing finely in the southeastern counties, and flax is generally doing well in the southwest, though in some localities it is reported thin and weedy. In a few of the east-central and southeastern counties oats, meadows, pastures, gardens and potatoes are being seriously injured by drouth. Elsewhere oats are generally making very favorable progress, though there is some little complaint of lodging, rust and smut; meadows continue to improve; pastures are excellent, and gardens are doing finely. In the southern counties oats are beginning to ripen and a few fields have been cut. Considerable clover has been cut during the week and secured in good condition. Early potatoes are doing finely in most sections, but in some localities they have grown too rank and are all tops. Cow peas and other forage crops are doing well. Apples are still dropping in many places, and while a good crop is promised in some localities in most sections the crop will be very light. In a few of the central counties many apple trees are reported to be dying. Early apples and peaches are now ripening in the extreme south-western counties. Notice. If you would like to have your cut with a short sketch of your life appear in the Professional World let us hear from you; a cut can be furnished you for a trifle. LINCOLN INSTITUTE—ITS WORK AND REGENTS—: Columbia, Mo., June 18, 1902. Editor Professional World. Lincoln Institute, founded and supported by the "Imperial State of Missouri" for the higher intellectual and industrial training of the colored Youth of this Commonwealth, is a school to which the majority of the intelligent Negroes look with much pride and consideration. It bears the same relation to us as Negroes as the Great University, located at Columbia bears to the Whites. Lincoln is one of the principal sources of knowledge, from which we naturally expect great and noble things and to be disappointed in our expectation casts a shadow of sorrow which obscures our imaginary view of the future. In traversing the broad Domains of the state and coming in contact with young men and women of sterling qualities, strict morals and extraordinary intellectual acquirements, we clearly see that the school has well performed her share of the duty in preparing these young people for future usefulness to their race and respected citizens of the state. The Alumni are the life and vigor of any Institution and potent factors in perpetuating its progress; but when these become incensed and indignant on account of loose conditions which exist in their "Alma-Mater" and an improper regard for responsibility by those to whom the welfare of the school is entrusted, it is forced to suffer the consequences. We as a race are grateful to the State of Missouri and the various Assemblies for their liberal appropriations for Negro education, but we condemn in strenuous terms the action of the present Board of Regents relative to Prof. Edward A. Clark, who is known as one of the greatest Negro educators of the age. From previous records, recommendations and personal acquaintances, we recognize in Prof. E. A. Clark, a gentleman of more than ordinary ability, a fine disciplinarian and a man of professional stamina. State schools are conceded to be non-partisan and ability and character should be the only considerations in the employment of teachers for the various Departments. Politics and personal preferences should be left entirely out of the question and would be by men who were interested in the welfare and success of the school. To elect a man of National reputation to the position of President of the Institution and retain him in said position less than six months—solely for the reason that he opposed incompetent and illiterate teachers is an irreparable injustice that evokes the severest criticism. We only desire to be furnished with broad-guaged, energetic, moral and intelligent men and women for these positions of honor and trust and those who can not be used as pigmy or tool. Therefore we feel that we voice the sentiment of a large percentage of the better element of the Negroes when we say that we commend Prof. Clark for the manly stand which he took to attempt to remove from the teaching force of the school those who were incompetent, insubordinate and not worthy of the confidence of the people. Respectfully, We are Extravagant. We are entirely too extravagant. We spend entirely too much money on clothes, on parties, on entertaining. The other day a bright intelligent young girl of our acquaintance who enjoys the princely income of $2.50 per week remarked that she had purchased a new black silk skirt costing $20, and a hat costing $10, and a pair of shoes $3.50, and a Gibson shirt waist at $8.50, a total of $42.00, and was paying for them at so much per week. This inventory of the young lady's wardrobe did not include parasol, gloves et cetera, which go with such apparel, and wound up by saying, it's nobody's business how I spend my money, I earn it. This is all true enough, but does the spending of it indicate good sense and a right conception of life? Here is six months of hard earnings spent before a dollar has been earned. Investigation among merchants will disclose the fact that the Negro trade is among the best. We are prone to buy the best, whether we can afford it or not. We do not rail against making a genteel appearance, but we are opposed to extravagant expenditure of earnings, a portion of which should be laid away for a rainy day or put into the family fund to go towards the purchase of a home and its improvement. The curing of this evil of extravagance, begotten by false pride, will be a problem for our club women.—Topeka Plaindealer. VOL. I. NO. 33. Memoriam. Almost ten years have passed away Since first I met my gallant J, 'Twas then and then our hearts were given Te love and share each others burden. So in the fall of ninety-two, Our lives were joined by the minister true Who said to us in God's own name, Live together failure or fame. Time fled by and changes came But we honored and loved each other the same And you could not find this side the sea, Two who loved better than I and B. In the month of April in ninety-five Our fondest hopes were realized For then God's blessings were made complete, Little Mattie was so plump and sweet. Anxious hours in prayer we spent, To Him who had His angel sent That we, by our lives, might bring This little one to the heavenly King. Of all good things for which to be thanked None all more desirable than little Frank. He came to our home one winter morn And no dearer son was ever born. A happy family this were we So proud of our children were J and B, And many an evening in mirth were spent 'Til the little ones with kisses, to bed were sent. O! Cloud that hides the azure blue The beautiful sun and sparkling dew, Why didst thou come this cord to sever, And leave me heart broken—Yes forever. 'Twas when the ground with snow was white And all our hearts were happy and bright The cruel stroke came; not a moments delay, And took my precious husband away. And I am left his love to mourn, Sad bereft, and all alone, Save Mattie and Frankie, who with me Shall meet Dear Papa in Eternity. Until that time shall our lives be given, In fitting our souls for the masters Kingdom There in the presence of Him who said, "Ill give to you daily your portion of bread." Shall we meet our loved ones gone before In that heaven where parting shall come no more With Angel companions and Christ our brother We'll rejoice together and love each other.

FORTUNES IN THIS DAY MILLIONAIRE J. STUDEBAKER TALKS OF THEM. He Says There Are Just as Many Chances to Accumulate Wealth as There Have Been, But Young Men Now Want to Go Too Fast a Pace—His Plan for Averting a Strike. Denver, June 18.—J. M. Studebaker, the millionaire wagon manufacturer of South Bend, Ind., arrived in Denver this week on his way home, after a leisurely trip through the West. His wife had been to the biennial convention of Women's clubs in Los Angeles, Cal., and Mr. Studebaker joined her at Salt Lake City. He made a side trip to his large ranch, near Greeley, Col. where he is greatly interested in the cultivation of sugar beets. "I have a ranch covering about 750 acres which I hold under deed," said Mr. Studebaker, who is at the Brown Palace hotel. "In addition to this I have a large section of school land, which makes my ranch about 1,300 acres in extent. It is the finest land in the country as long as one can find water and on my recent trip to the ranch I completed a purchase which I think will always guarantee me a sufficient supply. "I have bought Seely lake, and will use it as a storage reservoir, in case the Cache la Poudre, from which I now get the chief water supply for the ranch, should ever fail. The lake has a capacity of about 100,000,000 cubic feet of water, but I shall make arrangements to double its capacity immediately. I will thus be assured of a permanent water supply, no matter how severe a drouth may come. I also intend to stock the lake with fish each year, and the resort which is now there will not be interfered with. "Denver has changed a great deal since I first visited it." Mr. Studebaker said, reminiscently. "I came here on the trail in 1853, before there was a sign of a house here. I went to California and landed there with exactly 50 cents in my pocket. Now I am turning out a wagon from my factory every two minutes. People have sometimes doubted this statement when I made it, but I tell them to come to the factory and I will let them see for themselves. If it isn't true they may have the factory. "There are just as many chances today as there were when I was a boy. The trouble is that the young man of today wants to too fast a pace. Why I did my own washing for five years—out in California we only wore red flannel shirts and corduroy trousers and it wasn't very hard work." Mr. Studebaker heard of the labor troubles in Denver and followed them quite closely. "It is too bad that a city like this should have its progress hindered in such a way" he said. "Moreover it is unnecessary. The merchants and business men of the city should organize and meet this question fairly. I don't mean that they should try to crush out the unions, but there should be some central body, composed of representative men, who could adjust these difficulties. "If the demands made by the unions are unjust this organization could meet the union delegates and point out to them good and logical reasons why their demands could not be granted, and the matter could be settled without difficulty. Such a plan would be of benefit to the union men and to the business men and would prevent injurious strikes. The plan could not be successfully carried out in a city as large as Chicago, but it would be all right in Denver. It works splendidly in South Bend. I employ 3,000 men and we never have had any labor troubles there." Mr. Studebaker confessed to 69 years, but he would be as readily believed were he to say that he was 55 years old. He is alert, vigorous, bright and an interesting conversationalist. Matt Hunter on Bread and Water Mt. Ayr, June 18—Word has been received here from Fort Madison that Matt Hunter, who shot and killed Homer Holland here a year ago, as the result of a gamblers' quarrel, is confined in the prison dungeon on bread and water because of infraction of the prison rules and failure to do the tasks imposed upon him.

It will take 450 men to do the work. AUGUSTANA SYNOD CLOSES. Appropriates $30,000 for Home Missionary Work—To Meet Next Year at Paxton, Ill.

He is Seized With an Attack of Lumbago and His Condition for a Time is Serious—Laudanum Was Administered to Allay Pain—King's Life Lately Has Been a Strenuous One. London, June 17. — King Edward, who was attacked yesterday by lumbago, following a chill contracted while reviewing the troops, is Aldershot, passed a good night and is much better this morning. A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Aldershot says: "The king's illness has become of a much more serious nature than was at first expected. Yesterday the king was in a low state, and laudanum was administered to allay pain. Complications were feared this morning." Queen Alexandra and the other members of the royal party attended service at church yesterday morning, but passed the remainder of the day in the royal apartments. The queen was most assiduous in her attention to her royal spouse and expressed lively satisfaction at the favorable report which was made by the physician. The chill which attacked King Edward Saturday night was the immediate result of his prolonged stay out of doors on the occasion of the torchlight tattoo at Aldershot. The evening was extremely cold and raw and it rained at intervals before their majesties left the brigade recreation ground. King Edward, who is not accustomed to face the rigors of inclement weather, returned to his apartments thoroughly chilled by the unwonted exposure. The most alarming feature of the chill, which developed at once, was the symptom of lumbago, the premonition of the malady which last night's late advices confirm Although the last few weeks have been an unusually strenuous period in the king's life, owing to the many court functions and the enormous pressure of duties connected with the approaching coronation ceremonies, his majesty has seemed to endure the strain much better than some of his officers and attendants, who have shown plainly the effect of their fatiguing duties. It has been remarked that his vigor seemed superior to every strain and Englishmen have found new cause for pride in their august sovereign. It appears, however, that the unusual fatigues and anxieties to which he has been subjected have overtaxed his majesty's strength, carrying his physical system beyond the point where it could resist successfully on slaughters as that of the bleak weather Saturday night on the recreation ground. Lumbago affects the muscles of the lower part of the back. It usually comes on by a seizure, often sudden, or pain in one or both sides of the small of the back, and is greatly aggravated by a movement of the body, especially in attempting to rise from a recumbent position, and also in the acts of drawing a deep breath, coughing, or sneezing. It is brought on by exposure to cold and damp. The attack usually is of short duration, but occasionally it continues for some time. When questioned regarding the alarmist reports circulated about the health of the king, his majesty's private secretary, Sir Francis Knolly, said: "The best answer I can give is the king is going to Windsor this afternoon." U. S. STEEL TRUST APPEALS. New Jersey Injunction Against the Corporation Regarding Conversion of Stock Into Bonds. Newark, N. J., June 17.—Vice Chancellor Emery today gave an oral opinion making a temporary injunction security week ago by Miriam Berger of Sullivan county, N. V. pennant. The injunction restrains the United States Steel corporation from retiring $200,000,000 of preferred stock and issuing $250,000,000 in bonds instead. R. V. Lindabury, counsel for the United States Steel corporation, gave notice of appeal. It was agreed by counsel for both sides that the form of order for the appeal would be submitted to the court late this afternoon. In his opinion the vice chancellor held that the retirement of stocks constituted a preferential reduction of corporate capital among those assenting to the plan and a corresponding impairment of the rights of those not assenting. According to this chancellor's decision on preferred stock holders have vested property rights, which cannot be impaired by a board of directors without the consent of the holders of preferred shares. WILL SELL LAND TO FRIARS. Four of the Five Cardinals Favor the Sale of the Land in the Islands of the Philippines. Rome, June 17.—The complete success of the negotiations between Governor Taft, governor of the Philippines and the vatican on the subject of friar lands in those islands appears assumed of four out of five cardinals composing the sub-committee of cardinals, favor the governor's propositions. Cardinal Setinhuber, a Jesuit, opposes them. After the completion of the negotiations an acute conflict is expected between the vatican officials and the Filipino religious orders regarding the disposition of the money which the United States will pay for the lands. The vatican considers that the money ought to be given to the propaganda, or society of cardinals having the care and oversight of foreign missions.

SIXTH WEEK OF COAL STRIKE It Began Monday and the Situation is Becoming Intense in Certain Mining Sections. Men lying in ambush and severely wounded Charles Robinson, a coal and iron policeman at the Olyphant colliery of the Delaware & Hudson Coal company, this morning. He is now in the Lackawanna hospital with a rifle ball in his right leg. There had been trouble at the colliery Saturday night. A crowd of men, mostly foreigners, had gathered and approached the guards, throwing stones. The guards fired over their heads and frightened them away. Later two of the guards were arrested and held under bail for carrying weapons. After that there was no further trouble until Robinson was making his rounds. Then three or four shots rang out, and he fell wounded. Other guards rushed into the field from where the shots were fired, but the shooters had escaped. The company is now using its best detectives to find them. A reward of $1,000 has been offered for their arrest. The strike began today without a ripple to disturb the calmness of the situation. Rain fell nearly all day, which helped to keep the more than 150,000 idle men and boys in doors. Several reports of assaults on workingmen and coal and iron policemen were received from different sections, but no one was reported seriously injured. Most of the attacks occur under cover of darkness or at the starting time in the morning. It was expected that today would witness the refusal of a large number of fire bosses and other mine bosses to go to work, but the best information obtainable shows that the number who quit was not large. Several superintendents asserted that they had more men at Arokmnt at the engines and pumps than they had last week. President Mitchell and other labor leaders question this assertion and claim that nearly half of the men at work on Saturday refused to go into the collieries today. Neither side gave out any figures: Situation at Charleston. Charleston, W. Va., June 17.—The strike situation in the Kanawah fields is more intense. The Winifred mines which have been working more men than any other since the strike was inaugurated are out. Three mines of the Kanawha and Hocking company have accepted concessions and are working. The company operates all mines on the north side of the Kanawah river. Strike of Glove Makers Chicago, June 17.—As the result of difficulties over wage scales over 700 glove makers of important Chicago glove firms struck today. Delegates Did Not Show Up. Springfield, Ill., June 17.—Delegates from the local mine unions of Thayer, Virden and Divernon failed to appear today. Secretary Ryan of the United Mine workers of Illinois, John Reese of Iowa, and other officials were prepared to attempt a settlement of the difficulties between the operators and mine owners regarding the machine scale, but upon the non-appearance of the delegate miners the officials left for their homes without taking action. GROOM'S ACCIDENTAL DEATH. Young Man in Chicago Hotel is Suddenly Killed While Unpacking a Valise. Chicago, June 16—George A. Fleck of Louisville, Ky., 19 years of age, and but recently married, was accidentally killed at the Great Northern hotel today. Fleck and his bride had just arrived at the hotel. He was unpacking his valise when a revolver, which he took from it, was discharged, the bullet striking him in the mouth, causing almost instant death. HE WAS TIED TO THE TRACK. Italian Said to Have Been Poisoned Was Seized by Unknown Men and Placed on Track. New York, June 16.—An Italian who was known here as Kalo Ka Cattapani, Marquis de Cordevia, disappeared from his obarding house in this city last Saturday night. He was found early today tied to the tracks of the New York Central railroad at One Hundred and Fifteenth street and the North river. He was taken to a hospital, where he made a statement. A hospital physician said he believed the man had been poisoned. When he came here Cattapani said he was searching for papers which would prove his right to a valuable estate in Spain. Last Saturday he told the probis boarding house in this city last Sat was going to meet a man who would give him the papers needed in return for a reward of $100. Cattapani told the hospital physicians that he had been kidnapped, drugged and kept in a cellar since Saturday without food. The police are investigating and Cattapani is held temporarily as a suspicious person. HER VIGIL HAS ENDED JESSE JAMES' MOTHER NO LONGER GUARDS HIS GRAVE. She Feared for Many Years That the Bandit's Grave Was Constantly Watched by Ghouls—Lives Alone in the Historic James Home in Missouri—Her Husband in an Insane Asylum. Excelsior Springs, Mo., June 16.—Curious people who drive across the country from Excelsior Springs to the James farm this summer will have one disappointment. They will not see Zerelda Samuels, mother of the James boys, who has always been an object of even more interest than Jesse's grave or the scenes of his youthful exploits. For years it has been Mrs. Samuel's custom to show visitors over the farm. She would lead them through her little parlor, where she would exhibit the family photographs. Then she would take them to the back yard and point out the exact tree under which the Yankees caught Jesse and gave him a beating. Finally she would conduct them to Jesse's grave, where, after reciting its history, she would launch into a fierce, bitter exorcism of "Yankees," detectives and newspaper reporters, the equal of which could be heard nowhere else. In recent years Mrs. Samuel's has rapidly grown more and more feeble. A few months ago old Dr. Samuel became insane and was taken to the asylum at St. Joseph, and she was left alone. She has finally quit her watch over Jesse's grave, which she used to fear ghosts would desecrate for the purpose of getting her son's skull; has rented her farm and is living at a hotel in Kearney. It is said she is thinking of having Jesse's body removed from the home place to the graveyard at Kearney, where his wife is buried. The historic old house in which her children were born and reared still stands, but the front of it has been cut off and moved to one side and a new addition has been built where it stood. Until a short time ago the farm looked as it did when it was Frank and Jesse's home, but a few more changes will make it like those which surround it and will cause it to lose most of its interest for the "curiosity seekers," as Mrs. Samuels calls them.

Another Stephen Crane Dead Sidney, June 18.—At Stratford Sunday occurred the funeral of Stephen G. Crane, one of the pioneer settlers of this section of Iowa, who died at that place on Friday afternoon in his 54th year. The deceased was born in New York and came to Iowa in 1850, settling near Steamboat Rock. In 1881 he located at Stratford, where he resided until his death, being for many years identified with the town's business interests. MARKET REPORTS. Chicago Grain.

Mississippi Boy Pluckily Works His “Way to St. Louis. St Louis Post-Dispatch: Jesse Reaves came all the way from Vicks- burg, Miss., to St. Louis to look for a Jeg.

He isn't mueh on “book larain’” yet, but he has a pleasing voice and a bright eye, amd one can tell by the way he pounds the flood with his wooden leg ‘when he walks that he has all the grit of a Kiondiker. ‘He was all right until three years ‘ago, when a horse ran away with him and’ broke his right leg below the knee. ‘The doctor sald it would have to come off, and off it came. By the time his father, Henry Reaves, a brickmason, had paid the ill he had but little left. Jesse could not get through the world in that shape, so he made himself a wooden leg. He stumped around on that so hard that he wore {t out, and then he made himself another. That ts the one he stumped into St. Louis on. His mother died six years ago and his father four years later, and that left the boy alone. The loss of his leg handicapped him in the race of life, and one day he determined to come to St Louis and get another start. ‘When he crossed the river on the fer- ry to St. Louls he had 30 cents left. ‘That was last Friday evening. The very next morning he set about making more money, and he made it. Then he hunted up a maker of artificial legs and ‘opened up negotiations with him. The ‘man offered him a leg for $50 cash, o1 ‘one year’s services without pay. But the terms were too severe. The boy could not meet them and live. ‘As the next best thing he stumped around town and hunted up a few jobs He now has a week's board paid for— he has been taking his meals at a res. taurant at 915 North Broadway—and has an option on three jobs, elther of which will feed and clothe him tempor- arlly, but several places have been de- nied him, because of his crippled condi- tion, This is the thing he most re erets. ‘The proprietor of a hotel said to th boy: “Why don’t you go to see the Post-Dispatch. It always helps people It helps everybody.” So to the Post-Dispatch Jesse cam: Tuesday morning, and when he lef at noon, after a short session with the staff photographer, it was with the assurance that he had found friends a the Post-Dispatch, and that the Post Dispatch would help him find othe friends in St. Louis. Jesse has a brand new shoe, which he dought with money he earned while or his way from Vicksburg. “They split the pair for me,” he sald “and I paid $1.25 for this. “If I had two feet I could buy th ehoes for them, all right,” sald th gritty youngster, in his politest_ man ner. “I have nothing to fear, and wit! two good legs I will take « chance with anybody.” $100 REWARD, $100. ‘The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there {s at least one dreaded isease that ectence has been able to cure in all {ts stages and that ty Catarrh.

We are asked to say something as to the probable effect of the new oleo- margarine law upon the dairy Interests of the country. The new law goes into effect July 1, It imposes a tax of 10 cents per pound upon oleo if colored to Teremblo butter. Over 100,000,000 pounds of oleo were made the past year ‘and gold at prices running from 8 to 10 conte per pound less than butter sold for. Most of thie oleo finally reached the consumer as genuine butter, was 80 bought by him and so eaten by him, Oleo can be made to closely re- somble butter at a first cost of about 10 cents per pound, but as it passes as butter tt always rises and falls in price with the genuine article which It imitates. The profit connected with Its manufacture has been enormous—more than 100 per cent when butter was sell- ing at the high prices of the past sea- son. Oleo uncolored is a distasteful looking article of food, and, while just {8 good in every way or Just as bad, a8 you choose, when uncolored as when colored, it will not in an uncolored state find any market ,and the 10 per cent tax will virtually kill the business of tts manufacture. The constitution- ality of the law is yet to be tested, and tt { barely possible that the supreme court of the United States may kill the law, though hardly likely. One make- shift has already been suggested by the manufacturers in the shape of @ cap- jsule of coloring matter which is to be furnished with the oleo, the buyer to do his own working over and coloring. ‘This won't work, for the consumer will not buy the stuff when he knows for sure that he is getting oleo. Assum- ing that the law will stick, 1t means much to the datry interests of the coun- try. It will mean the milking of half ‘@ millton more cows and possibly some advance in price of butter until the sup- | ply gets adjusted to the demand. We }|do not think that 1t means any perma nent advance in butter prices, but sim: |ply a larger and wider market for the |product. Butter can be produced or the average farm at a first cost the year round of about 13 cents a pound, an¢ the consumer may still expect to be }|supplted at from 20 to 28 cents, save |under such conditions of extra higt | priced dairy rations as have prevalle¢ |the past six months.

H. F. BRAMMER MANUFACTURING CO., | DEPARTMENT C. DAVENPORT, IOWA UNHAPPY EXILES. Pathetic Side to the Industrial His- tory of Latin America. New Orleans ‘Times-Democrat: “There is a pathetic side to the indus- trial history of South and Central American countries,” said a gentleman who has spent some time down In that section of the world, “and it relates to a very interesting element of the popu- Jation, an element which has crossed over the border for errors committed on this side, an element made up of fugitives from American justice. ‘They fare good citizens, now, many of them being among the industrial promoters of that region of the world. Many of them scampered down into that section of the world while very young because of some small error made in a moment ‘of youthful folly. They are not bad fellows. They have never been bad fel- lows. They simply erred at a time when it is easy for the young man to fall over on the wrong side of the bal- ance. But they had to leave home on Account of the errors, and they went to Some place in Central or South Ameri- a because of the absence of extradition relations with the government of the United States. During a tour of that part of the country T ran across many pathetic Instances of the kind to which Thave referred, cases of men who are nor doing well in the way the world measures things, and yet who nre un- speakably unhappy because they can not get back to their own country. They are always enegr to hear anything relating to the current drift in the United States. They watch for the newspapers, watch for letters from home, and if perchance some fellow irops_in from the section from which they fled they have a thousand ques- tions to ask about this man and that, and the old families, and the old play- mates, and maybe the old sweetheart, and a number of other similar queries which develop the old picture and bring up all the purity of the old surround- Ings, Yes, there is a world of pathos jin these cases, and one can have no idea without making a tour of South and Central American points. Many of them have become men of wealth and Influence, but these good fortunes have not wiped out the longing they have to return’ to the more familiar and the dearer scenes of their childhood.” ir Pg BarbWire Grid Pity, Cuts TRADE MARK HEALS — them Rees cr seie waaliog aniee vee ei aan meee tee Gan ween ee ee ee ae See sine Co, Hast. ings Ben Chneago, Tie Have You Piles CORE THEM WITH | ezo Pile Cure | it Never Fails! | ASK YOUR DRUGGIST—Gc A BOX. tend $0 ween fur wemaple, “Rowe Bemeay bend to stamp foruample, ‘Reso Ren STARVING HOME AFFECTIONS. Neglect of Children Caused Through : Cares of Business. Western Christian Advocate: A. writer In one of our contemporaries has been calling attention to the un- Intentional and yet pitiful neglect of children in these days of absorption in business life. The father goes away early and comes home late and tired, and finds neither time nor inclination for conversation, romping or even get- ting better acquainted with his chil- dren. The little ones who may have been led to expect some play by fond- ling with papa are put to bed, fre- quently disappointed, and with a vague sence that their affections are being starved In them. We fear that there is too much truth In this representa- tion. Even those of us who are not caught in the maelstrom of business life are apt to be too careless, and to let the days go by, as we are wholly taken up by our plans, and we forget those noarest and dearyst to us who may be longing for a little more of our time and of our hearts. We do not mean to be selfish and to cheat either others or ourselves of the sweetest de- lights of life, but all unconsciously we do. We give the world and our taske too much of purselves, and wife and children too little. “Meanwhile the bables and boys and girls are growing up, and in a few short years will have flown away to make nests of their own. ‘Who of us, as he has thought of it, has not awakened to a sense of self-re- proach, and has not felt guilty of fraud upon his own most precious joys and privileges and the rights and happl- ness of others? Well for us if, before it ts too late, we bring forth fruits meet for repentance. A Case of Vice Versa. ‘When Archbishop Patrick J. Ryan of Philadelphia, who has been appointed a member of the board of Indian com- missioners by the president, was a very young priest he was stationed at a par- ish In St. Louis where Archbishop Ken- rick presided over a diocese, The latter lived In a very small, unpretentious house, searcely in keeping with his position in the church. ‘One day when Father Ryan was pass- ing the house of the archbishop, accom- panied by a Chicago priest, who was yisiting the Mound City, he pointed out the house as the residence of the head of the local church. The Chicago pest said with surprise: “Why, you should see the splendid residence we have in Chleago for our archbishop!” “Yes,” responded Father Ryan, “but you should see the splendid arch¥is- hop we have in St. Louis for our resi- dence.”—New York Times, Of the 34,864,865.8 hectares (86,141,- 198.8 acres) of land in Prussia,..§,270,~ 188.5 hectares (20,435,499.8 ). of 28.7 per cent. are occupled by forests and orchards, More than one-third of the area of Hesse-Nassau, vol- lern and Brandenburg 1s co with forests.

Remember that in union there is strength, and the negroes will be a great factor in this country if they stick together more closely. The voters of the eighth congressional District will have the pleasure of voting for Dr. I. N. Enloe of Jefferson City for congress. A better representative of the people could not be found than Dr. Enloe and his election will mean much to the people of this district THE Republican State Convention will be held in Jefferson City next week; indications are that it will be one of the largest ever held in the state. A strong ticket will be placed in the field, and a vigorous campaign will be begun with the hopes of capturing the state next fall. This can only be done by the first establishing harmony among themselves. The leaders should remember that the negro voters are of great importance to the republicans of this state. Their voting strength is between forty and sixty thousand and it would be impossible for them to carry the state without his vote. In another column is found an open letter from the pen of Dr. J. E. Perry of this city regarding Lincoln Institute. An open expression the leading negroes of this state is what is desired by those interested in the welfare of Lincoln Institute. We know we voice the sentiments of the better class of citizens of this state when we say that the recent action of the Board shows that the greatest need that Lincoln Institute has is a Board of Regents, and nothing good can be expected of the school until we have it. The school of course must suffer until these changes are brought about. PERSONAL Mr. Thad Lange is imprving. The Boone Concert Co. will be home about July 1st. Rev.

Marshall, Mo., June 14—The colored people are very indignant at the action of the board of regents of lincoln institute in failing to re-elect Prof. Clark as president. A mass meeting was held and resolutions requesting the board of regents to reconsider its action were adopted. They consider it an act of great injustice, after calling Prof. Clark from a prominent position in another college, to fail to give him an indorsement by a re-election. A delightful Tally-ho party was given last Monday evening by Messers. Todd Baker, Willard Turner and others. About twelve couples enjoyed the treat which consisted of a drive of five mules in the country to Mr. Crosswhites where an elegant supper was spread. Among those in attendance were Messers. Todd Baker, Willard Turner, Henry Johnson, James Strawn, Slater Logan, Mr. and Mrs. William Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Berry Richardson, Mesdames Mattie Bell, Annie Hicks, Misses Mary and Birdie Lammie, Fannie Johnson, Addie Mosley and others whose names we failed to get. Music was furnished by the mandoline and guitar club and a delightful time is reported. Indignation Meetings held regarding Lincoln Institute Meeting of 200 Students Denounces Action of Board. At Lincoln Institute last night an indignation meeting was held in which about 200 students participated, vigorously denouncing the board of regents for its failure to re-elect President Clarke as president of the school. Speeches were made enthusiastically commending the record of President Clarke and severely criticising the board of regents. Feeling ran high among the colored people last night, and many of the departing students declared that they would return to the school next year only in the event of President Clarke's reelection. Rev. Dr. Scott of Kansas City, who is considered one of the best educated men of his race, declared last night that in point of character and intellect President Clarke has few if any superiors, either white or black.—Cole County Democrat. BRIGHAM YOUNG FAMILY REUNION. The descendants of Brigham Young, the late president of the Mormon church, have determined to keep up the family association and for that purpose a family reunion has been planned. As no available building in Salt Lake City is large enough for the reunion, it will be held in the open air, Brigham Young had fifty-six children, of whom forty-seven survived him. There are 294 grandchildren of the Mormon leader and 745 great-grandchildren, making a total of more than 1000 descendants of a man who has died since the Civil war.—Exchange. A Tallyho Party.
