Must Eat the King's Meat or You Can't Live. The Old Soldier Returns After Jefferson City, Mo., July 22nd, 1902. "You can't tell what is goin to happen these days" said the old soldier "I used to think I wuz some kind uv a prophet, but I don't claim to be now'cause just when you think you have read the writin' on the wall and understand it, you find that things turn out jest opposite to what you thought they would. I don't spouse I'm the only one who thinks this way either. I guess Judge Sherwood will bear me out since the Springfield convention, you see I wuz at that convention and in fact I have tended all the conventions, that's the reason that I haven't been round fur sometime. I didn't have nuthin to say, but I wuz jest listenn' and they say that I am always butt'n in where I ain't wanted, but I don't care for that so I always git next to "what is doin." I could tell that Sherwood's chances wuz not very good before "I left here, but didn't say nuthin" bout it. But that State house nig went there to give the Judge a back seat and gave it to him, too. You see Sherwood hasn't been obeyin orders very well and that means they have to go; the fact uv the matter is its a case uv, "if you don't eat the King's meat you can't live." Its jest like it is at Lincoln Institute—it ain't the question uv ability but uv obedience. You know that whole board said that Clarke sent in the best report that had ever been presented to them and that he wuz jest the man fur the place, but when he begin to talk about puttin a good teacher at the head uv them shops instead uv a blacksmith they soon told him to walk the plank. And he had to walk, and things is goin to remain that way till they git that new Board, and I'm mos certin that we will git it, too. You see Dockery and Stevens ain't speakin now jest about some pintments Steven wanted to make and Dockery ain't libel to pint any one back in office that Stevens put in an the members of the Board whose time is out next are Stevens men and don't like Dockery, 'cause they know he won't pint 'em back on that Board. You see Dockery liked Clarke and when he wuz makin his talk to the sheep before given them their sheep skins he said he wanted to build up that school and wuz willin to do any thing to build it up and one of the Stevens Board members wuz fillin one of the boxes at the end of the stage and when Dockery said that he had to go out of the hall, 'cause he wanted to git a drink and it "wuz so warm in there any way." When Dockery heard that Clarke had been let out he called up one of the Stevens men on the Board over the telephone, asked him why he voted to put Clarke out and he said 'cause he wanted to, and asked if that wasn't reason en'uf. Dockery hung up the telephone receiver and looked out the window in direction of the bridge and winked, course I told you what that means and there's somethin' else too 'bout things out on that hill but I'll tell you right now I don't 'tend on tellin' you, less you cross your heart twice and promise that you aint goin' to tell it, course it is a family secret, and I jes' found it out by buttin' in. You see the folks isjes' gittin' their eyes open an gittin' on to things out on that hill, an the grumblin' is goin' on all sides. Why a man in Joplin said I wuz crazy the other day when I told him they had all white janitors out the. Another man in Springfield said he had been thinking of sending his boy up here but since he heard that they jest had a blacksmith at the head of them shops, he didn't think he'd send him, cause he spected that boy to learn a trade. Well I must git home, I want to sow some turnips befo' the rain, but I must be sho' that you will not tell what I spoke 'bout fo' I tell you."

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O.

The teacher who is day by day making himself useless to the boys and girls, is indeed, serving them well. There is no more important equipment for life than that masculine turn of mind usually termed mental independence. Slowly, carefully but surely, one by one, cut the leading-strings by which you have guided your charges along the uneven journey of school life, until before you leave them, you induce them to turn their faces resolutely from you and walk confidently forward to battle with the problems of life single-handed. Do not help too much at any time. Help less and less as your pupils grow older and stronger. Put more of simple direction and suggestion into your work and less of doing for your pupils. Stimulate and develop mental independence.—Missouri School Journal. Ministerial Union. The ministers of the several churches in Columbia have organized a ministerial union with the following officers: Rev. A. A. Adams, Pres.; Rev. J. A. Grant, Sec. They will meet every Monday morning.

Please inform your people. Yours, etc. J. G. GALLEMORE, July 23, '02 Salisbury, Mo He Knows It All. From an Unknown Poet. "I love that man who knows it all, From east to west, from north to south; Who know all things, both great and small, And tells it with his tireless mouth; Who keeps the wondering world in awe The while he works his iron jaw." A man's ideas on reform in politics from day to day are very much biased by what kind of a breakfast he had. It is when little girls begin to sniff at little boys that it is time for their mammas to begin to keep an eye on them. When a woman makes love to a man it is a sign that he is going to get away from her unless some of her male relatives step in. When a man has reached the point where he thinks he knows all about gardening he has got foolish, he thinks he knows something about women. The first time a bride ever had a quarrel with her lord and master she asks him to forgive her; after that she asks him to ask her to forgive him. Good, hot biscuit are a stronger argument for domestic peace than many sermons and much exhortation. The man who knows how to build a fire in the parlor is a great deal nearer to the accomplishment of the unattainable than he ever dreams of. When a man's appetite for dinner is not as good as usual his wife begins to fret right away about whether he is wearing the right weight of underwear. MOSES H. CALDWELL 803 Ash St., Columbia, Mo.

He Says There Never Was a Fairer or More Impartial Man in the White House—Scores Catholic Societies—Says American Catholics Should be Forever Grateful for the President's Noble Action. St. Paul, July 23.—Archibishop Ireland, in an interview with the Associated Press today, reviewed at some length the progress of negotiations between Judge Taft and the vatican, and took to task certain Catholic organizations that have assumed to question the fairness of the administration toward the cor-religionists. The archbishop reviews the progress of the negotiations at the vatican, and the success attending them, emphasizes the denial already made that the pope is displeased at the action of the cardinals, and confirms the report that the pontiff is entirely satisfied with the respits thus far. He pays a high tribute to Governor Taft's ability and sense of justice. Then he pays his respects to those who have alleged proselytizing of the Catholics was being allowed in the Philippines, and says: "And now it is to be hoped that there will be among certain classes of Catholics in America a cessation of movements and declarations such as we have had recent occasion to hear of regarding religious matters in the Phillippines. The pope teaches those Catholics to trust the American government, as they seemingly have been perfectly unwilling to do. In his conversation with Governor Taft he expressed the highest esteem for American methods of treating church matters and remarked that he had more than once pointed towards the United States as setting an example well worthy copying. His words ought to signify to those who profess to take him as their leader and guide. At any rate the direction of Catholic affairs is his business, not that of irresponsible church societies or other persons; and when he informs Catholics that any one matter is in his hands they ought promptly to step aside and allow him to have charge of it. The question of religion in the Philippines now is formally and officially his own, and it should be considered as such. "A few there may remain who will still believe they have a better understanding of it then he has, and will insist on telling him how to handle it; but such as those are the few, and at least it will be clear that they hold no brief whatever from the Catholic body at large. "Agitation, such as it was in certain Catholic quarters, did no honor to those who participated in it. As is now proven, they spoke and acted without due knowledge, and certainly without proper regard for the government of their country." The archbishop suggests that those who have been finding fault should first have been certain that the abuses really existed, then proceed in a proper manner in seeking a remedy. It was to be expected in making such radical changes as were necessary in transferring the government of the islands to the United States there would be some hardships. But "it was the rankest rashness and rankest injustice to intimate that the government intended to proselvize the Filipinos or to do aught to detach them from the Catholic faith." In continuing, Archbishop Ireland says: "To know in the slightest degree President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Governor Taft is to be certain that nothing of the kind could have been thought of or could have been tolerated. Never did there reside in the white house a man more fair-minded and impartial in religious matters, more resolute to give all classes of citizens the religious rights granted them by the Constitution and protect them in these rights than President Theodore Roosevelt. During his administration it is unqualifiedly absurd to imagine governmental acts could be such as deny or impair the religious rights of any people or tribe over whom floats the American flag." He then quotes the letter of Father McKinnon, now residing in the archipelagic palace at Manila, to prove Governor Taft had not the slightest trace of bigotry. Archbishop Ireland admits there may have been individuals who did the things complained of, but they in no manner represented the government, and if their wrong-doing had been reported to the government it would have been summarily reproved. "What stronger proof of the fair-mindedness in settlement of the religious question in the Philippines could the administration have given than to respond graciously to the wishes of the vatican that a messenger from the American government should go to Rome to discuss matters directly with the pope and his advisors?" asks the archbishop, and continuing says: "The American Catholics should be forever most grateful to President Roosevelt for his noble action in this regard. "And as to schools in the Philippines, why not—when the presence of non-Catholic teachers is talked of—state that out of a total of 5,000 teachers, 3,500 are Filipino Catholics? Why not state Father McKinnon is a member of the school board of Manila?" In concluding the archbishop says: "But, I repeat, the agitation I am reproving only comes from the few—American Catholics as a body trust the government—and in the present issues trust the holy see and hold their souls in peace."

LIVES LOST IN ELBE DISASTER Total Number of Missing Now Placed at 104, and 61 Bodies Have Been Recovered. Hamburg, July 23.—The Primus has been partially raised and brought nearer shore. The total number of missing is now placed at 104. Sixty-one bodies have been recovered. Inquiry into the circumstances of the disaster shows there is a great lack of life-saving appliances on the Elbe river excursion steamers. The Primus is known to have had on board only six life-belts and a single boat. The steamer Delphin, which came up later, with 400 passengers, also had only one boat capable of carrying seven persons. ORDERED TO CAPE HAYTIEN.

Accident Happens on the River Elbe—Yacht Primus Cut in Two—Thirteen Bodies Had Been Recovered at Last Report—Loss of Life and Destruction of Property in Baltimore—Other Casualties. Hamburg, July 22.—The steam yacht Primus of the Hamburg-American line with 185 passengers aboard was cut in two and sunk by the tug Hansa on the River Elbe at 12:30 this morning. So far as ascertable about 50 persons were drowned. Thirteen bodies have already been recovered. The Primus was an excursion steamer from Buztehude, province of Hanover, Prussia. The disaster occurred between Blakens and Miensteden. Among the passengers were members of the Ellbeck Male Choral society. At the time of the accident the Primus was crossing the river channel near Blankenes, from the southern into the northern Fairway. According to witnesses aboard the Hansa the movement was made too precipitately. The Primus struck the tug's engine room and the Hansa endeavored to push her ashore, but the tug grounded and the ships parted. The Primus then sank. In the interval, however, about 50 of her passengers were able to reach Hansa by means of ropes and ladders. Seventy more were picked up by the tugboats while the others swam ashore. The terrible panic that occurred on the Primus when the Hansa struck her rendered the efforts to save the passengers almost useless. Fortunately, the steamer Dolphin came up immediately and succeeded in saving 60 of those on the sinking steamer, while other boats assisted. Survivors furnished graphic descriptions of the disaster. According to their story the band was playing and many couples dancing when the crash came. The vessel gave a great list, the deck taking such an angle that it was impossible for the passengers to keep their feet. Those below scrambled up the companionways, but most of the persons in the saloon were drowned. Men fought for their own safety regardless of others. In the midst of the confusion the boilers exploded, adding to the horrors of the scene. More of the Primus' passengers would have been saved by ropes thrown from the Hansa had it not been that before those who seized the ropes could be hauled on board they were pulled off from the lines by others struggling in the water, and all were drowned. This morning enormous crowds poured out from Hamburg and the shore was thronged with thousands of friends and relatives of those aboard the sunken steamer. Many sad scenes were witnessed as bodies of the lost were washed upon the beach or brought ashore by divers. It is asserted that divers have already recovered 45 bodies but as yet it is impossible to verify the death list. An attempt will immediately be made to float the vessel, and when this is done it is believed more bodies will be found. The estimated number of dead is from 50 to 60. Hurricane at Baltimore. Baltimore, Md., July 21.—Thirteen persons perished and millions of dollars' worth of property was destroyed by a hurricane which swept through Baltimore Sunday afternoon. The storm broke shortly after noon and came almost without warning. The wind swept all before it. Roofs were sent whirling like so many cards, trees were stripped and uprooted, buildings were wrecked, fences blown down, and big windows in the business houses smashed. St. Mary's star of the Sea church was demolished, entailing a great loss, while the roof on the Merchants' and Miners' steamboat pier was blown off, permitting the water to leak in and causing the goods there to be damaged to the extent of $400,000. In North Baltimore, where a camp meeting was in progress, a tree blew over on the tent, causing it to fall. The worshipers were buried under the canvas, and one man was killed and many hurt. It was along the water that the greatest loss of life occurred. Being an extremely warm day, the shore resorts were liberally patronized by p. easure seekers. All of the fishing boats along Middle and Black river were taken, while Spring Gardens and adjacent Patapscap streams were alive with pleasure craft of every description. When the storm came up, almost without warning, boats were tossed about and cries for help could be heard coming from every direction. Tugs and steamboats put out to the rescue, but so thick was the weather and so choppy the seas that the efforts of the life-savers proved futile for a time. The vessels picked up dozens of survivors from capsized boats. Drowned in Their Homes. Kleff, European Russia, July 22—Fifteen persons were drowned yesterday by the sudden rush of water into the basements of various houses in the lower portions of the town. A torrential rainstorm accompanied by violent wind and hall turned the streets into veritable torrents, flooding cellars and drowning their occupants before they were able to escape. Large trees were unrooted and railroad embankments were washed away. The losses will be very heavy. ACCIDENTS ON A BATTLESHIP.

St. Paul, Minn., July 21.—The circuit court of appeals today filed a decision in a St. Louis case involving the principle that all unexempt property which a bankrupt has owned four months before the filing of a petition against him must be distributed share and share alike. The Fourth National bank of St. Louis held notes against the Siegel-Hillman Dry Goods company of that city in the aggregate $60,000. Less than four months before the latter was adjudged a bankrupt it had paid on these the sum of $14,600. When the affairs of the bankrupt company went into the hands of a referee, Trustee S. L. Swarts moved that all claims of the bank be expunged unless it surrenders the $14,600, which had been paid on the notes it held against the company. The referee granted the motion and the bank appealed to the federal district court, which directed the referee to deny the motion. Swarts made an appeal of the case to the circuit court of appeals and had the judgment of the lower court reversed.

DECLAREACAINSTSTRIKE MILLION A WEEK TO BE RAISED AS LONG AS STRIKE LASTS. A Stirring Address is Issued to the American People—Miners Determined to Fight to the Last The threatened Destruction of the Union—Question Not Entirely One of Wages. Indianapolis, Ind., July 21.—At 1 o'clock this afternoon it was conceded that the United Mine Workers had adjourned after declaring against a general strike, and providing for the raising of funds with which to aid the striking anthracite miners, and issuing an appeal to the American people for support. The recommendations brought in by a special commission appointed in executive session yesterday are practically identical with those suggested by President Mitchell in his address on the first day of the convention, and were unanimously adopted by the convention. They include an appropriation of $50,000 by the national treasury, districts to donate such amounts as they can afford; an assessment of 10 per cent to be levied on earning members; local unions to work to secure employment for as many idle miners as possible, and the appointment of a committee to secure subscriptions outside of the unions. An address to the public was drafted sending forth the line of action determined upon and the reason for such course. The address discusses relations with combinations which control the coal industry and miners, declaring the former so powerful that no miner can hope, through individual effort, to secure a just share of the wealth his labor has produced. "The extremely low wages paid the anthracite miners," says the address, "and the refusal of the coal companies to have coal properly weighed, or permit miners to employ a man at their own expense to see that the coal has been mine weighed, measured or credited; the great number of hours a miner must work each day in the most unsanitary conditions; the cruel and unjust manner in which they have been treated by the petty bosses; the arbitrary assumption by employers that neither the miners nor the public have any rights that are entitled to consideration by them, have forced us to organize, not for the purpose of asking from operators that which belongs to them, but for the purpose of securing, by business methods, better treatment than we have received in the past, and fair recompense for our labor." The address then considers at length the various efforts to change conditions and recites failure. It alleges that the question is not entirely one of wages, but a determination of the operators to destroy the union. "We believe," say the miners, "we have within our reach the means by which that purpose can be thwarted. No legal power can compel us to work if we desire to remain idle." The declaration is made that the struggle will be continued until the demands are granted or arbitrers "have declared we are wrong." The address appeals to the "people at large to bring all possible pressure to bear on officers and stockholders of the anthracite coal carrying railways and other anthracite interests to treat considerably the appeals of their employees for arbitration." In conclusion the address asks contributions of money from trade unionists, every citizen whose interests are involved and others to assist in raising $1,000,000 a month as long as the strike lasts. The report was adopted by a rising vote, every delegate being on his feet. The miners of Illinois announced today that they had appropriated $50,000 for support of the anthracite strike. Ohio gave $10,000 and Iowa and Indiana promised contributions to be made later. President Mitchell expects the unions to contribute half of the $1,000,000 now in their treasury. Saginaw, Mich., July 21.—A vote will be taken in a few days on the scale formulated at the recent convention. Miners and operators think that the scale will be accepted and soon after the Michigan mines will be again in operation. GENERAL BROOKE TO RETIRE. Will Reach Age Limit Monday—His Long Record as a Soldier of the United States. Washington, D. C., July 21. A general order has been prepared at the war department retiring Major General John R. Brooke, who will reach the age limit on Monday. With the exception of General Miles, General Brooke is the only army officer on the active list of the army who reached the grade of brigadier general during the civil war. During the Spanish-American war he went on the Porto Rican expedition. After the peace protocol was signed he was made chairman of the evacuation commission in Cuba, and later was designated governor general of Cuba, which position he held until relieved by General Wood. Since then he has been commander of the department of the East. UNKNOWN NEGRO FOUND DEAD His Head Had Been Split With a Hatchet—No Clue Has Been Found to Murders. Hampton, Ia., July 21.—The body of an unknown negro was found alongside of the Iowa Central tracks near here tolday. His head was split by a hatchet and he hau evidently been dead for two days. There is no clew to the murderers. Suspicion attaches to three negroes last seen with the dead man, and who have disappeared. Troops Return from Manila. San Francisco, July 21—The United States transport Sheridan arrived this morning from Manila with 612 men of the Thirteenth infantry, 154 men of the Third cavalry, 554 casualties and 76 sick. LIFE IN MARTINIQUE DISTINCTION MADE BETWEEN WHITES AND BLACKS. New York Sun: It was owing simply to an accidental occurrence that E. F. Eberstadt, a New York commission merchant, and his wife were not at St. Pierre, Martinique, at the time of its destruction. They were in the West Indies and intended to visit St. Pierre, but on account of the Martinique quarantine, came straight to New York instead, arriving a week before the eruption. In speaking of Martinique and its people, Mr. Everstadt said: "In Martinique there is no color line, no race distinction, and I doubt if there is any other place in the world where this great question of race color difference is as lightly considered, and yet where there are barriers of class distinction in other lines which are insuperable, the class distinction between money and poverty always remains, and is as closely drawn as is the color line in the United States. "Another characteristic is the self-reliance of the people of Martinique. Some years ago the hurricane wiped out crops, homes, houses, churches and took many lives. Then, for the first time in her history, Martinique appealed to the outside world for aid. "The French chamber of deputies generously voted 3,000,000 francs for the relief of the stricken colony. Strange to say, Martinique never got one cent of the money. "The money was deposited in Paris to the credit of the Bank of Martinique, but the islanders, encouraged by the vote of the French parliament, applied themselves with renewed vigor to the task of rebuilding and restoring their devastated plantations. Loans were negotiated by the planters and the funds voted from the French treasury were to a small extent used as security for these loans. Not one cent of the money, however, was withdrawn, and through her pluck and energy, assisted infinitely by the fertility and abundance of her natural resources. Martinique recovered from the war, and remained where her wonted prosperity and position. "For all that I know, the 3,000,000 francs may still be in the Paris repository. The loans to the planters were all repaid by them. "To illustrate the commercial pluck of the average Martinique merchant, I will tell you about a man who carried on a general importing and exporting business in St. Pierre, and was among the victims of the Pellee eruption. His account with our house in New York was one of old-time standing and a considerable credit was frequently allowed him. "At the time of the hurricane he cabled us: 'A terrible hurricane; everything lost. I cannot pay immediately.' In reply we telegraphed him to draw on us for any sum he needed. "His answer was indicative of the sterling qualities of the average Martinique merchant: 'What have I done that you should treat me as a child?' That man accepted nothing from us nor from anyone else. In a year his account was on a level. "When the great fire of 1880 came he was again wiped out. Again came the cable announcing disaster and ruin. He was bankrupt this time, he said, and craved indulgence until he could get on his feet. Thinking that this time he might be glad to avail of our services, we cabled him to draw for all his wants. He never accepted a cent, and since then until the time of his death in the recent disaster he has been transacting his New York business through another house, considering that we had slighted and insulted him with our offers of assistance. "Of the commercial houses in Martinique, fully one-half are owned and managed by colored people. The man of whom I just related that little incident was a colored map." "When I first visited Martinique, in the early 70's, I took with me letters to a certain gentleman named De Paz. He was a white man, and his manners of the old school made a deep impression on me. Our acquaintance lasted until his death two years ago, and for many years old New York house transacted all his American business. "From him I learned how deep was the old royalistic prejudice against the colored man at that time. He was the agent in Martinique for the Perinell family of France, who for centuries carried on the sugar industry in the West Indies when unparalleled success in ideas were of the 18th century, and he lived in a veritable palace, which was like a reduced copy of Versailles. There he died, without ever having received or having been approached by a colored man. Thus did he draw the distinction of color. "On the other hand, in 1880 there was living—no more than a mile from De Paz's magnificent house, a friend of mine who was in color as dark as the darkest inhabitant of the Congo. M. Lallung was respected by his fellow townsmen, and he had held the office of mayor of St. Pierre for many years. "When these two men met by chance, no street in St. Pierre was wide enough and when they spoke to each other, it was always with a statement of regret that the other was of the opposite race. Each died without ever having taken the hand or having spoken to the other. "Now, to show you how things in Martinique have changed since then, when my wife and I arrived in St. Pierre last November, our first call was on young M. Lallung, the son of my colored friend, who died ten or 15 years ago. With a courtesy and gentleness of manner inherited from his father, M. Lallung at once invited us to press the remainder of the day with him at his country villa Morne Rouge. "In an instant there was a carriage at the door, but we had hardly started when the young man stopped the carriage and begged permission of my wife to present his dearest friend and former college mate in France. The young man whom he introduced was white and proved to be the son of my old friend, De Paz. "It was interesting to see young Lallung and young, De Paz thus standing together with arms interlocked two young men of opposite color, but able each to recognize the other's worth and meeting in undiguished affection. "Both young men met the same fate They and theirs perished in the frightful catastrophe of Mont Pelee. "Thus it is in Martinique. The two races divide equally the trade and commerce of the island, and in all matters firmly united. In fact, numerically the better class of colored people slightly predominate in Martinique." DIED IN THE DESERT. Death of John Brown's Grandson in the Colorado Waste. Tuma Sentinel: J. A. Adams, a former resident of Arizona, and a grandson of old John Brown, whose "soul goes marching on," wandered away from his camp on the Colorado desert on May 19 and perished for want of water. The story of his disappearance is graphically told by Charley Fay, one of the party, as follows: "We went out on the desert prospecting for gold. An Indian whom we had employed to show us where to find water on the desert caught his foot in the stirrup while mounting his horse and fell on his back. "The horse started to run, dragging the Indian by one foot. As the ground was covered with jagged rocks, the Indian would have been killed had not Adams run up and taken the horse by the bit. The animal, with fright, reared and plunged. Adams was twice thrown upon the rocks, and once the horse's hoofs hit him, but he still gripped the bit until Mr. Lamere and I succeeded in releasing the Indian. "After the danger was over, Adams sat down upon a rock and began laughing, and when asked if he was hurt, he replied: 'Oh. no. I'm only a little tired, but I guess you'll have to help me set this arm.' We then started for Yuma. Adams riding some 25 miles that afternoon and never once complaining, though we could see by his drawn features that he was suffering intense pain. "At dusk we camped for the night, and within an hour the injured man was delirious and raving like a maniac. Some time during the night he left camp. As soon as we discovered that he had gone we made every effort to find him, but we could not do much until daylight, when we found his tracks in the sand. We followed the tracks all that day and until about 9 o'clock the next day, when we came to a had, rocky place at the foot of some rock rills. Here we lost the trail, and try as we might we could not find it again. "For three days we searched the hills, but not a trace of the man could we discover, though we well knew that somewhere within a radius of 20 or 30 miles lay the body of one of the bravest men that ever lost their lives in that great death-trap—the Colorado desert." There is more Catarrub in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrub be a constituent disease, therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrub Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it is to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, Ohio. Sold by Druggists 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best. During the coming Old Home week the town of York, in York county, Me. will celebrate the 250th anniversary of its settlement and it hopes to have President Rosevelt present at the festivities. The town's proud claim is to have been the site of the first chartered city government established in this country. The H. F. Brammer Manufacturing company of Davenport, Iowa, have a unique puzzle souvenir, which they are sending free to persons writing for same. The Brammer company are manufacturers of the O. K. Washing Machine, one of the best machines ever placed on the market. Any goods bearing this company's stamp may be relied upon as being what the trade mark implies, "O. K." The Louisiana Purchase exposition management has determined to bring, if possible, the old "Liberty bell" from Philadelphia to St. Louis for exhibition at the world's fair in 1904. If the effort is successful, it will be the first visit of the bell to the territory west of the Mississippi river. If the Liberty bell comes to St. Louis, it will be the sixth journey which the bell has taken. The bell's first journey was from Philadelphia to Allentown, in 1777, to save it from falling into the hands of the British, when the American evacuated Philadelphia. The other four journeys of the bell have been to American exposition: To Chicago, in 1893; to Atlanta, in 1895; to New Orleans, on the east bank of the Mississippi river, in 1885, and to Charleston, in 1901-'02. Mothers will find Mrs. Winslow's Sootting Syrup the best remedy to use for their children during the teething period. Several positions in the scientific departments of the government will be filled as the result of civil service examinations this month. These include three vacancies in the national bureau of standards and no less than 16 in the coast and geodetic survey. The salaries in these latter cases range from $720 to $1,000 a year. They are low, but, as was recently explained in Science, an allowance is made in addition for subsistence and traveling expenses, and there is, besides, a chance for rapid promotion for such as prove themselves exceptionally capable. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Charles H. Putchin Talent is a certain inborn faculty or capacity, but it is of no value whatever if it is not cultivated. UNCLE BILL AND The Editor EDGAR BAKER "I wonder why senators scrap? And other members' noses do slap Over honor all covered with moss. There's none to be seen, On the surface I ween, Though I cannot account for the loss. "I wonder why senators abuse? The ones they're unable to use, Because of their temper so hot, There's none can define When so little is shown on the spot. "I wonder why senators smile? Over dignity they can't beguile When they're rowdies at best. Neath the surface so slick, Opened bare they are sticks. For their records will tell you the rest." "When the big prize fighters git together out in 'Frisco, they will have that all-important question of questionable honor ter settle, an' while so important a question is ter be settled they ought ter be given the use uv the United States senate chamber ter scrap in as that seems ter be a place where a fight can be had at the drop uv the hat or a word," said Uncle Bill as he squared off at a picture of Fitzsimmons, which the editor had hanging in his office. "Time there!" exclaimed the editor; "don't you go to knocking out that picture." "Gosh durn my buttons, I've been insulted by that picture a squirrel' off at me like that, an' if Fitzzimmons thinks he can lick me let him step down an' out uv that picture," said Uncle Bill as he made a grab for the picture with the remark, "I'll shake the daylight out uv him' cause the honor uv Shake Rag is at stake when a picture' like that stands in a menacin' position at one of uv its citizens," and as he made another graal at it the editor in reaching for him caught hold of his shirt, pulling enough of it to wave as a flag of truce "I always respect a flag uv truce," remarked Uncle Bill, whose furry seemed to have abated somewhat; "but," he continued, "when they want ter settle a question uv honor let 'em call on one uv the three B's. Bill, Balley or Beverage. Beverage scraps with his gab Bailey with his fists an" I fight ill durned the way, jest so I can vindicate me油. "The scrap in the senate reflects dishonor upon the whole body," said the editor "What does a gentleman care about the dishonor he brings upon anyone else, so s't he can make people believe he's got enough honor ter fight about himself. Now Senator Bailey has got some honor hid away up his coat sleeve, but not enough keep him from dishonoring the honorable body that he's a member uv. These 'I dare yer ter knock a clip off uv my shoulder' fellers ain't the kind uv people ter represent the dignity uv this great nation uv our no how. They have ter keep quiet when they are in a bar room or they'll gift thrown out; the dignity uv the place exacts it, an' why shouldn't the United States senate do so?" asked Uncil Bill "The United States senate does not countenance such ruffianism," suggested the editor. "No; it does not countenance it, but allows it all the same. When Tillman an' McLauren come ter gether there was a terrible clashing uv honor what no one had been able ter discover before. They were suspended long enough ter let each one uv em' nose around a leetle might ter see whether they could find eny honor what had gone astray; such honor ought ter have a label on it, so'st people could tell what they've rubbed up against when they meets it, but they've had so much uv such conduct that it might satisfy the most uv the senators ter let Jeffreys an' Fitzz do a little struggling in the chamber fur honor," said Uncle Jill. "It is hard for some men to control their tempers." remarked the editor, "and that probably accounts for Mr. Bailey's display in the senate." "A feller what can't control his own temper hain't got no business tryin' ter control anyone else's in the United States senate at least. These fellers are both hero worshipers providin' they can be the heroes. Bye an' bye a feller ter be a senator will have ter qualify as a prize fighter first, an even at that I believe that if we'd introduce a few prize fighters into the senate that a hull lot uv senators could learn manners from the 'pug-uglies'; at least they could learn how ter scrap without callin' other names." And as he wandered out the door he made a sweeping gesture and said: "Feller citizens, the dignity uv the United States senate must be reclaimed an' main-tained." If a man really wants to know of how little importance he is, let him, go with his wife to the dressmaker's. Lord Kitchener received a part of his education at a school about four miles from Montreux, not far from the point where the Rhine enters the lake of Geneva. "Grand-Clos," as the school was called, numbered some 13 boys, and the headmaster was a clergyman of the name Bennett. A former master of the school describes Kitchener at the age of 15: "He was of medium height, broad-chested, a very model of strength, but not passionately addicted to sports. Solitary in his habits, not chumming especially with any of his school-fellows, he worked quietly and steadily, and proved always amenable to discipline." OLIO OF EVENTS. OLIO OF EVENTS. Eight of the principal countries of Europe have concluded an agreement for the protection of birds useful to agriculture. The Paris National Library has received an important gift of a collection of rare Alsatian antique money and medals, some 1,200 pieces in all, made by the late Henri Meyer. When the auction sale was announced, German agents were sent to Paris to bid, but a Mexican gentleman, Carlos de Beistegul, bought the collection at private sale for $75,000, and presented it to the Library in recognition of the hospitality of France to him during the last 30 years. Many of the coins are unique. There are almost complete sets of the mony used by the landgraves of Alsace from the beginning of the 13th century the municipal money issued by Strasburg, Colmar, Mulhouse, Wissembourg, etc., and the coinage of the abbeys of Murbach and Lure. The two select.ons for the faculty of the Clark college were made by the trustees on the personal choice of Carron, D. Wright, the new president. Dean Bentley, who will start in at once on his work at Clark college, was graduated from the University of Nebraska in the class of '94, and last year was a fellow in education at the Teachers' college of Columbia university. Prof. Hodge, who will be instructor in mathematics, was graduated from Boston university in the class of '91 and took a post-graduate course as a special student at the Massachusetts Normal school at Bridgewater. He studied mathematics as a graduate student at the University of Chicago, and later at Clark university. Consul General Guenther, of Frankfurt, says: From the latest volume of German statistics I have compiled the following figures with reference to the beer industry: The production of beer in the German empire during the year ended March 31, 1901, was 1,860,624,800 gallons. The imports of foreign beer (mostly Pilsener beer, from Bohemia, probably.) were 14,889,600 gallons, and the exports of German beer amounted to 21,172,800 gallons. The estimated consumption of beer per capita of population was 132.2 quarts for the whole of the empire. The government revenues derived from the manufacture of beer in Germany amounted to $22,175.976. The tax on beer per capital amounted to 40.9 cents. The London Express says: Those about to celebrate their birthday might take a hint from Grand Secretary Yung Li of Pekin. One the 60th anniversary of his birth, a few days ago, he refused to accept any presents unless they were of intrinsic value. Some brought him storks and deer of solid gold, each a foot high and beautifully chased; gold buddhas; green jadestone cases of the most beautiful shades; diamond and precious stone belts and rings; and a foot-high "god of longevity" of solid pure gold, enclosed in a miniature temple of the finest jadestone of the purest white color, incrusted with diamonds and precious stones of great value. All these presents were graciously received, but others, such as scrolls and tablets, unless of great antiquity, were uniformly refused without even a word of thanks. The London Chronicle says: In connection with the cession of the postal and telegraphic services from the states to the commonwealth, a curious discovery has been made. For many years it has been the practice in the remote parts of South Australia, when people felt indisposed, to telegraph their symptoms to some Adelaide doctor, who wired back a prescription. Every country postoffice was supplied by a paternal government with a medicine chest, and there the telegraphed perscriptions were made up by the pastmaster. But the federal postmaster general thinks the system open to abuse, and has ordered the pastmasters to do more dispensing. It certainly lood like risk at first sight, but the fact that no one has ever heard of anybody being killed by a postoffice prescription argues that it has worked pretty well in the past. One leading Adelaide surgeon proudly boasts that he has set broken legs by telegraph. A somewhat singular story is that of the V-wound cop invented by S. J. Wardwell in 1891. A cop is a cylinder of wound thread, and the V-wound cop is superior in compactness and uniformity of tension. The patent office issued a patent to Mr. Wardwell, but a subsequent lawsuit brought out the fact that at the National museum, in New York, there are cops of corp precisely similar in appearance to those patented by Mr. Wardwell. These seems, were made with the Fiji jips declared invalid. But the museum authorities refuse to allow the Fiji jips to be unwound, and, as it is therefore impossible to find out whether the V-wind extends through all the layers, the patent office has reissued a patent to Mr. Wardwell. One of the most picturesque candidates nominated for congress so far is Andrew Furuseth, who aspires to succeed Julius Kahn of the Fourth California district. Furuseth is a Prussian Finn, who used to be a sailor, and he has sailed pretty much every stretch of open water in the world. For years he has been a labor agitator in San Francisco. He is a keen, sharp-visaged watchdog, and does the full duty assigned to him. An artist seeking studies of faces to make up a revolutional world would find in him a strict type. His straight, haycolored hair is long and tumbled; his forehead is sharply retreating; his face has a drawn expression of intensity, with rarely the trace of a smile; his shoulders are angular and his form cadaverous. The United States gold dollar is so scarce that dealers in old and rare coins are advertising everywhere for them, offering from $1.50 to $3 a piece for as many as they can get.

New York Evening Post: Inquiries are received daily at the United States subtreasury in this city respecting the redemption of mutilated or burned currency. It often happens that portions of United States notes are destroyed, or become so disfigured as to render them unfit for circulation. These are always redeemed when accompanied by proper affidavits accepted by the government authorities. But the most difficult case is when the government deals concern instances where the entire note has been destroyed or lost. In these cases the government can do nothing but reject the application, there being no warrant in law for the redemption of currency except in instances where portions, however small, of mutilated bills are returned. Treasury officials have the right to return the entire face value of a mutilated note to its owner if he presents satisfactory evidence of the loss. In such cases the circumstances have to be reported to the treasurer of the United States at Washington for action. But where three-fifths or more of a bill is presented at a subtreasury the officials are permitted to redeem in full without reference to Washington. In cases where only half the bill has been preserved, the owner is reimbursed for half the face value. Government officials are governed in their action by these sections of treasury circular No. 32, promulgated March 23, 1900: United States notes, treasury notes of 1890, gold certificates and silver certificates, unfit for circulation, when not mutilated so that less than three-fifths of the original proportions remains, may be presented to the treasurer or any assistant treasurer for exchange at face value for new United States paper currency. Fractional currency notes are redeemable in lawful money. United States notes, treasury notes of 1890, fractional currency notes, gold certificates, silver certificates and national bank notes, when mutilated so that less than three-fifths, but clearly more than two-fifths of the original proportions remains, are redeemable by the treasurer only at one-half the face value. Fragments not clearly more than two-fifths are not redeemed, unless accompanied by the evidence required in paragraph 13 (below). Fragments less than three-fifths are redeemed at the face value of the whole note when accompanied by an affidavit of the owner or other persons having knowledge of the facts that the missing portions have been totally destroyed. The affidavit must state the cause and manner of the mutilation, and must be sworn and subscribed to before an officer qualified to administer oaths, who must affix his official seal thereto, and the character of the affiant must be certified to be good by such officer or some one having an official seal. Signatures by mark (X) must be witnessed by two persons who can write, and who must give their places of residence. The treasurer will exercise such discretion under this regulation as may seem to him needful to protect the United States from fraud. Fragments not redeemable are rejected and returned. Paper currency which has been totally destroyed cannot be redeemed. The department does not furnish blank forms for affidavits. The funeral of General Escobedo, which took place last month in Mexico City, was the occasion of a grand national ceremony, worth of the patriot helpel President Juarez to expel Maximilian. The body of General Martiano Escobedo was buried in the Dolores cemetery in the presence of General Porfirio Diaz, president of the republic, his cabinet, the officials of the misterial and municipal departments, and a concourse of since remonners, representing all classes of society. The ceremony opened in the hall of the chamber of deputies, where eulogies were delivered by General Ryes, minister of war and marine, and Senor Portillo y Rojas, in the name of the national assembly. At the cemetery other addresses were delivered by Licencidos Zayas Enriques and Rodolfo Reyes, who spoke, the former in the name of the Mexican people and the latter on behalf of the reservist officers.

New York Tribune: The Rt. Rev. Thomas Underwood Dudley of Kentucky, one of the eminent bishops in the Episcopal church, enjoys a good story as well as if he did not wear the cloth. He tells this one on himself: A number of years ago he was going by train to one of the smaller towns of his diocese to hold services. He was enjoying a cigar in the smoker, and upon the seat facing him was a very large vase, containing his clerical vestments. A drummer sitting back of him, noticing his jaunty traveling cap, leaned forward and inquired: "Traveling man, eh?" "Yes," answered the bishop. "What, house d'ye represent?" "The biggest house in the world." "Shillit?") (the largest house in Cinchnati) asked the drummer. "Bigger than that." "Marshall Field?" "Bigger than that." "A. T. Stewart's?" "Bigger yet." "Well, what house is it? Those are the best I know." "I represent, sir," said the bishop, impressively, "the house of God." impressively. In the house of God. The salesman gave a gasp, then glancing at the mammoth vallse, exclaimed: "Well, all I have to say is, you carry a pretty full line of samples." MANY DISCOVERIES HERS College Girl Whose Delight in Literature Interested Friends. New York Tribune: When speaking "In Praise of Books" at the commencement exercises of Bryn Mather college, Richard Watson Gilder told of a good friend of his who found in almost every new book taken up something to surprise her. "Something so very much in the nature of a discovery," he said, "that it became a sort of joke among us—these 'discoveries' of hers, "A party of us were making that ever-wonderful Hudson river trip once," he went on, "and this woman, whom I regard as one of the ablest of an able sex, had a great deal to tell us of the workings and appearances of the devil idea in literature, both sacred and profane. It was obviously her latest discovery, and her enthusiasm was such that at Peekskill one of the party went ashore and wired a mutual friend in New York. "The telegram did not reach its destination until quite late that night, and the recipient was feeling a bit under the weather. It was this combination, taken with the seeming triviality of the message, that inspired the reply: "Tell Emma to follow up her discovery." HANDKERCHIEFS FOR A WEEK. One For Each Day Shown in a Down- Town Store. "Bridal sets of handkerchiefs," which are shown in a down-town store, are as dainty as their name would indicate. In each set are seven handkerchiefs, one for each day in the week. The squares are of the finest French linen, hand-woven and hand-embroidered. They are finished with a hemstitched border one-quarter of an inch wide. In one corner is embroidered, with exquisite daintiness, a floral design in which is introduced the name of the day of the week. Monday's handkerchief has a cluster of violets—the flowers and foliage—caught with a graceful lovers' knot. Tuesday has a pretty design of a rake, hot, springling can, and garden hat, with vines twining in and out, with the lovers' knot effectively introduced. For Wednesday there is a cluster of clematis caught with the lovers' knot; for Thursday, a Louis XV. basket, with scattered daisies and a fluttering butterfly. In the corner of Friday's sheer linen square is a dove—the symbolic lovebird—brooding among pretty vines. Tiny daises with the lover's knot are embroidered in the company of daydresses and handkerchiefs on Sunday's dainty design of Cupid's boy and quiver, the true love knot and forget-me- War and the Birth Rate. War not only influences the mortality of the army in the field, but has a malefficient effect on the birth rate and death rate of the country which is fighting. A low birth rate may be explained, to some extent, by the fact that when a nation is at war her people at home are less prosperous and consequently marriages are not so frequent. The increase of the death rate occurs, probably, for the reason that food is scarcer and also because at a time when a country is engaged in a disastrous war the minds of its inhabitants are adversely affected. Those who are in delicate health, or who are attacked with sickness, succumb much more readily when the spirit is lower than when in the condition it is indeed, the reaction of the mind upon the body.—Medical Record.

DONT vote for a republican because he is a republican or because "Abe" Lincoln was a republican, but vote for him because you believe he is the best man for the office to be filled. We had the pleasure of publishing last week the largest list of new subscribers we have yet published at one time, this is encouraging and shows that the Professional World is growing. A good news paper in central Mo., has been a long felt negro want so get your name on our list. The Professional World never misses an issue. It is claimed that under the new registration and election law of North Carolina fully twenty-five thousand white men have been disfranchised because of their failure to pay poll tax by July 1, which is one of the provisions of the law. The law was intended to disfranchise the Negro voters of the state, but it was thought that the white voters would pay the poll tax as they could qualify otherwise under the provisions of the law without let or hinderance, but this has been a disappointment to those who gave the assurance that the law would allow every white man to vote and disfranchise nearly every Negro. It is seldom that these measures which are intended to discriminate do not prove in the long run objectionable in more ways than one and always prove harmful.—American Baptist. 50 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHT & C.

THE BIG FAIR—1902. Some of the Things You Will See Here August 5 to 8. We are asked to say to the merchants and business men of Columbia, that if any wish to offer special premiums for displays at the Columbia fair they will be permitted to do so, though no canvass will be made for same. There will be on exhibition a $3000 quilt, which took the premium at the Paris exposition, and is well worth seeing. It is secured by Mr. J. E. Crumbaugh, who will have charge of the floral hall. The wool exhibit of Missouri at the Charleston and Buffalo expositions will be on display at the floral hall and should be seen by everybody. There will be big, corn, pumpkins, grass, wheat, vegetables, fruits, and everything usually seen at an old fashioned county fair. Fine stock will abound; fast horses and pretty woman will make the old-timers think they are back in old Kentucky. The fact is you can't afford to miss the Columbia fair. The managers assure us it will be bigger and better than ever. Missouri Medals. Something of what Missouri is in matter of agriculture may be seen in the show window at C. B. Miller Company's shoe store. The window is decorated with medals and certificates given for various products at the Charleston and Buffalo expositions, such things as wool, corn, seeds, apples, mineral, and a dozen others. There is also a photograph of Liberty Bell; of Missouri's Agriculture and wool displays, and other interesting things. They were brought home by J. E. Crumbaugh, and placed in Mr. Miller's window for inspection of the public. Double Tragedy at Marshall. Marshall, Mo., has had its recent tragedy, and is up with Columbia and Mexico in this respect.

Wilson, who was a bachelor, died Dec. 28, 1898, leaving Press Oliver his sole beneficiary. Relatives sought to break the will on the ground of duress and undue influence, but the circuit court, presided over by Judge John A. Hockaday, has unpheld the will. Record-Breaking Wheat. A special from Ellsberry, Mo., says:—A record breaker for this season on wheat yield and quality was received at the elevator here this week from W. O. Mayes. Ninety acres made forty bushels to the acre, and weighed sixty-one and one-half pounds to the bushel. Postoffice Not an Advertising Medium. The World's Fair canceling stamp that has been used by Postmaster Baumhoff of St. Louis for some time and which has advertised the Fair all over the country will have to stop its good work. Its use is contrary to the postal laws, and dispatches from Washington state that Postmaster Baumhoff will probably be requested to cease its use in a few days. At the time of the Pan-American Exposition the Buffalo postmaster secured permission to use a canceling stamp to advertise the exposition. The idea became popular and requests came in from all over the United States asking the privilege of using such stamp canceled to advertise small county fairs and other exhibitions of minor importance. Because of this the postoffice department decided to refuse all such requests. The postmaster at Charleston was not allowed to use such a canceling stamp either before or during the exposition in that city. The Bible as a Serial.

Harrisburg can boast of more ex-postmasters than any town of its size in the state.

About four years ago I began taking Ripans Tabules, and since then I have used them pretty constantly. I rarely retire at night without taking my Tabule, and I find they keep my digestive organs (which naturally are weak) in good order, and they also allay my tendency to nervousness and make me sleep.
