Ethel Fowler, who also conducted a class in the same discussion by D. E. Martin, Prof. E. W. Emory and Prof. H. B. Stone. The next on the program was Prof. I. Loeb, of M. S. U. who kindly favored the association with a lecture on "History and Civies in the Public Schools." His was a most scholarly production, and one from which the association felt much benefitted, as many points of value were gleaned from this most important subject. Paper, "The New Teacher," by Prof. J. P. Washington; discussion by Prof. H. B. Stone. Paper, "How Teach Reading in the Third and Fourth grades," by Mrs. V. L. Walden; discussion by Miss Cave and Prof. J. P. Washington. The association was then adjourned until 1:30 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. The first speaker for the afternoon was Prof. E. H. Favor of the M.

Wright; discussion, Prof. Taylor. Paper, "How Teach Numbers in the Second Grade," by Miss Estella Kirklin. Rev. Botts addressed the association with words of encouragement and cited the influence of a worthy teacher in a community. Rev. A. A. Adams followed with a brief address on "The Relation of Church and school." At this juncture the association adjourned and proceeded in a body to visit the Manual Training Department of the M. S. U., conducted by Prof. Cook, who had cordially extended an invitation to the association that they visit this department and see the work as it is actually carried on. An hour of delight and interest was spent in this department. Prof. Cook gave a brief talk on this work, setting forth many useful and practical suggestions all of which were much appreciated by the association. EVENING SESSION. The evening session which was a citizens meeting was held at the St. Paul A. M. E. church. The first speakers on the program being absent, Prof. J. B. Coleman, who was to appear later on the program, delivered his lecture on "Obstacles in the Way of the Teacher, at this period of the meeting. This paper was one bedecked with many parcels of information that would aid not only the teather but the patrons of education as well. Paper, "Requirements of the Coming Man," by Dr. Taylor, contained much thought. Discussion by Prof. Billups, of the George R. Smith college, remarks on the conditions among colored people of Columbia, "Educationally, morally and spiritually," by Rev. J. A. Grant. Remarks re- lating to the same subject by Rev. P. C. Crews.

The minutes of the proceeding sessions were read by the secretary Miss J. Ethel Fowler and adopted. Paper, "Errors in Teaching," by Supt. R. H. Emberson. This was one of the best productions on the program, being interesting, full of practical thought and highly appreciated by the association. To really appreciate and receive the full benefit of this paper one ought to hear it read. It can be said and rightfully said that every teacher would be fortified against some of the hard places in the work if they possessed a copy of this paper and followed the methods set forth in it. Discussion by Profs. E. W. Emory, J. P. Washington and J. B. Coleman. Paper, "Art of Study," by Mr. John Bannister; Discussion by Profs. H. B. Stone and J. P. Washington.

The Water and Light Question. In last week's issue of this paper, we gave reasons why the proposition to straddle the bonded debt of $100,000 on the city of Columbia in addition to the already heavy debt under which the city is groaning, should be voted down. There are many other reasons, but to enumerate them would consume more space than we can give to the subject, but suffice it to say that the tax to pay the interest and LINCOLN INSTITUTE, MISSOURI STATE SCHOOL FOR COLORED YOUTH.

Who will want to buy property and make his home in a town that is incumbered with an enormous debt of $171,000! The purchaser would have a mortgage on the property before he bought it—a mortgage that could not be cancelled until the debt is paid. Are you men who own your little homes going to vote a mortgage on them which will come between you and your title! We think not. The best advertisement for this town or for any town, for that matter, is that it is practically out of debt.

He attempted to address the house, but in the general tumult he could not be heard, and the sitting was suspended. COMMERCIAL New York Aids St. Louis. An unwarranted rumor, supposed to emanate from Chicago and reflecting on the stability of St. Louis trust companies, caused a run on those institutions early in the week, which for a time threatened to assume panic proportions. The trust companies met the demands of the depositors, waiving the sixty-day withdrawal requirements and managed to restore confidence, but not until President Francis and other stockholders had personally assured the depositors that the institutions were solvent. New York came to the relief by transferring $2,025,000 to St. Louis, which proved ample. Railroad President's Ruse. The plans of President Yoakum of the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad for a $500,000 station and the control of the passenger terminals of New Orleans were frustrated by President Spencer of the Southern railroad, who slipped into New Orleans on a tug and bought the Chalmette terminal for which Yoakum was negotiating. Oil Supply Failing. The Standard Oil Company has advanced the price of crude oil to $1.74 per barrel, the highest price since 1895. The total stock above-ground is less than then, when the price was $2.69. The supply of crude oil to independent refiners has been stopped. The oil wells are reported to be giving out. Western Mileage Bureau. An organization of a new mileage bureau by the Western railroads was completed at Chicago Monday.

Operators look for recovery in pig iron demand after the opening of the next quarter. Money Going West. The largest transfers of currency from New York to the west and south were made this week, $2,875,000 being sent by telegraph. Of this sum $2,025,000 went to St. Louis, 650,000 to Chicago and $200,000 to New Orleans. Cotton Goods Go Up. The rise in the price of raw cotton has advanced manufactured cotton goods from $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ to 5 per cent, with conditions pointing to a still further increase. EXECUTIVE To Deport an Anarchist. By order of Secretary Cortelyou, the immigration authorities at New York, acting under the new anti-anarchist law, caused the arrest of John Turner, a labor leader just arrived from England, while he was in the act of addressing an audience, with the object of causing his immediate deportation as an anarchist. Turner was held without bail, but his friends secured a writ of habeas corpus in order to test the validity of the government's action. Hugh Pentecost, the liberal preacher, acting as Turner's counsel, made the point that Turner did not come under the new law, because while he favored the principles of anarchy, he did not advocate the overthrow of government or law by force or violence or the assassination of public officials. Turner is the organizer of the Retail Clerks' union. Bowles Leaves the Navy. Rear Admiral Francis T. Bowles, chief of the bureau of construction and repairs, who pioneered the era of first class battleships in this country, has resigned from the navy to accept the presidency of the Fore Ship and Engine company at Quincy, Mass. On bidding him goodbye Secretary Moody said: "It is a calamity to the navy." The great constructor's new position takes him back to his Massachusetts home and gives him larger opportunity to advance his material interests. He will be succeeded by W. L. Capps, chief naval constructor at the New York navy yard. Wonderful Lou Dillon. The queen of trotters, Lou Dillon, after clipping one and one-quarter seconds from the world's record by trotting a mile in 1:58½ at Memphis, October 24, again made new records Wednesday last, when she closed her season by trotting to a wagon in 2 minutes. Her owner, Mr. Billings on the same day drove Monk and Equity to pole in 2:08, making a new world's record. Miscellaneous Happenings Pacific Coast Land Frauds. Pacific Coast Land Frauds. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock announced Wednesday that he was about ready to report to the department of justice regarding the land frauds on the Pacific coast.

Several arrests have been made at Portland charged with forging entries to home stead applications. Our West Indian Garrisons. The cruiser Dixie, which sailed Oct. 24 from Philadelphia with 400 marines, is now known to have gone to Guantanamo to take part in the transfer of that state to the United States. Part of them will be left as a garrison and part will be left at Ceulebra island. Our Fastest Battleship.

President Hall of Union seminary urged that Christian missionaries must learn to approach the ethnic religious of India with a more generous appreciation of their merits. Renee's Encyclical Received. The text of Pope Plus X's first general encyclical to the heads of the American hierarchy was received Sunday.

Following the statement that Cardinal Gibbons was favorable to the selection of Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia as the next American cardinal, a dispatch from Rome, Wednesday, said that Ryan was at the head of the list of eligibles of American prelates submitted by Mgr. del Val and Cardinal Gotti to the pope. Autocrat for Universalists. The general convention of the Universalist church in session at Washington decided to have a general superintendent selected by the board of trustees and to give him general supervision of church affairs. Minneapolis was chosen as the next meeting place. Strong resolutions against divorce were adopted. Lutherans Attack Schools. Another recent attack on the public school system is that of the German Lutheran conference in Illinois, which declared that the generation now growing up will ruin the state because in the public schools "a positive impression is made upon the children that no religion is necessary." Cuban Bishops Consecrated. Cuban Diocese of Cuba The three bishops-elect of Cuba were consecrated at Havana Wednesday by Archibishop Chapelle, apostolic delegate of Cuba and Porto Rico, in the presence of President Palma, his cabinet, the diplomatic corps and a great throng of people.

L. Roberts, who was formerly a stenographer in Blair's office. Roberts says that Blair systematically forged deeds of trust and had been leading a dual life for a decade or more. Rice Will Case Settled. The New York court of appeals has admitted to probate the will of William M. Rice, the eccentric millionaire, for whose death Albert T. Patrick now awaits the electric chair. By this will the bulk of the Rice estate goes to the Rice institute of Houston, Tex. The will was contested by Patrick, who had another will in his favor. Patrick's appeal still awaits argumen before the court of appeals. Brewer on Right of Appeal. Writing in yesterday's Independent Justice Brewer of the supreme court defends his recent suggestion that the right of appeal be taken away in criminal cases. He calls attention to the fact that up to a few years ago there was no right of appeal in our federal courts, and points out that practically it is nothing more than a claim of a right to two trials, which is neither a constitutional or a natural right. A New Fagin. Another parallel to the famous character in Dickens' novel was brought to light in a New York police court Wednesday when Alexander Sachs, 17 years old, was shown to have about 300 pupils in the art of thievery. The thefts are said to have netted him $1,000 a day in valuables. Railroads Taxed as a Unit. The city of Chicago has lost its suit in the Illinois supreme court for an order to compel the board of equalization to assess the railroad terminals of Chicago locally. The court finds no authority for the division of the real estate of railroads into parts. LABOR AND CAPITAL A Conservative Labor Leader. A Conservative Labor Leader. President James O'Connell of the International Association of Machinists has sent out notice to the effect that wage reductions may be expected and there is an uncertainty about the business outlook which justified the machinists in arranging all of their differences with employers by arbitration. This is in line with one warning sent out by the Woodworkers' secretary last week, saying, "There are breakers ahead for the trades union movement." Union or Non-Unoin. President Samuel Gompers, in an editorial in the last American Federationist, comments on the open shop issue raised by President Roosevelt in the Miller case. Mr. Gompers contends that the open shop proposition implies that organized labor must give up, not special privilege, but the common and fundamental right to refuse to work with non-union men. He says: "To give it up would be to restore slavery and to make slaves of the most skillful and competent of American workmen." Employers Now Federated. Over 50 delegates representing a score of national trade organizations and several thousands employers in various industries assembled at Chicago Thursday, and formed a national employers' federation designed to combat the dictation of organized labor. The whole question of the relations of capital and labor was discussed and steps were taken to form a national bureau of education and issue an official organ. Labor Leaders Assaulted. Another well known labor leader, a member of the finance committee of the Chicago Federation of Labor, has been assaulted by street thugs just as President Donnelly of the Butchers' union was a few weeks ago. This is Even a King is Not Safe. Things are coming to a pretty pass when reporters actually try to interview a king. That's what was tried on King Edward the other day. And yet, after all, there is no divinity that can hedge royalty from the fierce white ligat that blazes from the printing press. RELIGIOUS SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIAL World of Affairs taken by labor to mean that capital is at work trying to frighten their leaders into desertion Carpenters Must Merge. Adolph Strausser of Buffalo, theumpire, to whom was left the question of the amalgamation of the two national organizations of carpenters, in his report recommends that the two bodies unite into one organization at its next convention.

Six persons were killed and 100 wounded by the efforts of the Spanish troops to disperse the striking miners and factory workers at Bilboa on Wednesday. INDUSTRIAL After Schwab and Morgan. After Schwab and Morgan. A severe arraignment of the organizers of the defunct shipbuilding trust is contained in the report of Receiver James Smith, Jr. It charges that they received bonds and stocks for which no equivalent was ever paid, especially naming Charles M. Schwab and J. P. Morgan, and proposing that they be assessed for the $20,000,000 securities which they received. It criticizes the Morgan-Schwab secret agreement by which this stock was to be marketed first. It is intimated that Schwab was acting purely as the agent of the steel trust in the Bethlehem transaction, saying: "There can be no doubt as to the dominance of certain financial forces in instructing Charles M. Schwab to raise his price." Mr. Smith recommends that the court declare void the $10,000,000 bond issue held by Schwab. New Armor Plate Plant. The Midvale Steel Company of Pennsylvania, which was awarded the government contract for armor plate, will build a $2,000,000 annex to its plant to handle the contract.

American capital is said to be behind a company organized at Berlin to send an expedition headed by Dr. Karl Peters, ex-governor of German East Africa, to develop the gold mines of King Solomon, which Peters claims to have located in Portuguese East Africa. Cod Liver Oil Scare. A serious shortage of cod liver oil is feared this winter owing to the present scarcity of the product, caused by a short catch of cod fish. Oil which sold a year ago at $28, now brings $135. The bulk of the world's supply comes from Norway. St. Paul to the Pacific. The reported extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad system to the Pacific coast was confirmed by Chairman Miller of the board of directors. Work will begin within two years and $25,000,00 in new stock will be used. Orange Crop Good. Total shipments of oranges from California this season have been 20,000 cars, 2,000 cars more than last year. The concensus of opinion among growers is that next year's crop will reach 30,000 cars. Collieries Shut Down. The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company has closed eleven collieries in Pennsylvania until November 4. Seven thousand men are thrown out of work. P. R. R. in Trolley Lines. Indications are growing that the Pennsylvania railroad, either directly or through interests closely allied with it, proposes to operate trolley lines for the short haul traffic in and about Philadelphia. A company composed of officials and employees of the Pennsylvania railroad has been granted a charter by the state. PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION Washington, Nov. 11.—The first regular session of the 31st annual meeting of the American Public Health association was held here today, prominent bacteriologists and students from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Cuba being present. General George M. Sternberg, surgeon general of the United States army, retired, delivered an address in which he dealt at length on the efforts which have been made to stamp out disease and guard against epidemics. He said that through the persistent efforts of the association yellow fever and other exotic pestilential diseases have been practically stamped out from the United States. "Although cholera, yellow fever and bubonic plague," he continued, "are no longer feared by sanitariums which have not yet conquered our endemic filth disease, typhoid fever and tuberculosis still claims nearly 150,000 victims annually within the limits of the United States. Until these and other widely prevalent infectious diseases are practically stamped out," he said, "our self-imposed task will not be complete." The report of the committee on animal diseases and food having reference to the phase of tuberculosis which relates to its transmission from animals to human beings, was presented to Dr. D. E. Salmon of the bureau of animal industry. Washington clinical evidence, statistics and experimental tests, he declared, all favor the conclusion that bovine tuberculosis was a factor in human tuberculosis. The source of milk supply, he urged, should be carefully attended to. HOTEL AT DENNISON BURNS Was Crowded with Guests, but All Escape in Safety. Denison, Ia., Nov. 11.—Fire in the third story of the Wilson house completely wrecked that hotel this morning. The fire broke out about 6 a.m. and was caused by a defective flue. The hotel was crowded, every room being occupied. Landlord Cook turned his first attention to his guests, with the result that every one escaped with all personal belongings. Much of the furniture on the first floor was saved. The third story is completely burned, while the rest of the building is wrecked by water. Mr. Cook estimates his loss at $10,000, one-half insured. The Wilson house, formerly the Jaeger house, was built twenty years ago and has been Denison's leading hotel. Mr. Cook has no plans as yet, but it is more than probable that a stock company will be formed and a brick hotel erected. EDITOR TUFTS WITHDRAWS Centralia Democrat Will Not Run for Congress. Salen, ill., Nov. 11.—C. D. Tufts, editor of the Centralia Democrat, withdrew today from the race for the Democratic nomination for Congress. The county primary will be held November 10. Mr. Tufts and former Sheriff Matthew B. Wells have been canvassing the county for six weeks. The county central committee met this afternoon at the request of Mr. Tufts, who asked that the primary be put off until a later date. This the committee refused to do. Tufts then announced his withdrawal and his assessment was returned to him. Mr. Wells then put up the whole amount necessary to pay the expenses of the primary, and his will be the only name on the ticket. It was decided best to hold the primary, even with only one candidate, so as to legalize the selection of the delegates from the county to Mr. Wells. PRINCESS WANTS $7,000,000 Says That Amount is Due Her From Rhodes' Estate. London, Nov. 11.—Princess Padziwill today issuer a writ demanding $7,000,000 from Lord Roseberry, Earl Grey, Alfred Belt, Dr. Jameson., L. Michell and B. A. Hawksley, trustees of the estate of the late Cecil Rhodes, under agreement alleged to have been made in June, 1899, between herself and Rhodes. This is a sequel to the arrest and imprisonment of the princess at Cape Town in 1902 on the charge of forging Rhodes' signature to bills for several thousand pounds. The case, which doubtless will prove sensational, is expected to lead to many exposures, dealing with South African matters, particularly with the Jameson raid, and the alleged complicity of Former Colonial Secretary Chamberlain therein. FOREST FIRES IN TENNESSEE Destruction of Timber is Great and Several Sawmills Are Burned. Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 11.—Telegrams from various points in east Tennessee state that great forest fires are raging, and that the destruction of timber has been great, several saw mills also having been burned. The lumber men have organized and are fighting the flames. 4 S444 BE SAUZEVIUY 2 SBUAEUWSE ge Cs oles Pai c By OPIE REAL Re eee ™ were, . (Cg ag 6 ; ee rai, | Mae | <a sith ee 3 Sy Bre .

Chicago Upon reaching home shortly after nightfall the Major found visitors wait- ing for him in the library—Wash San- ders, old Gid, Jim Taylor and a red bewhiskered neighbor named Perdue. A bright fire was crackling in the great fireplace; and with stories of early steamboat days upon the Missis- sippi, Gid was regaling the company when the hero of the yarn opened the door and looked in, Getting to their feet with a scuffle and a clatter of shovel and tongs (which some one Knocked down) they cried him a wel- come to his own house. “Gentleman,” said the Major, “Just wait till I eat a bite and I'll be with you. Have you all been to supper?” “We have all been stuffed, Gid took the liberty to answer, “all but Wash Sanders and he—" “Don’t eat enough to keep a chicken alive,” Sanders struck in. “Wish I could eat with you, Major, but I ain't got no relish for vidults. But I'm glad *to know that other folks ain't that bad off, Jest go on and take your time like we want here waitin’ for you.” While the Major was in the dining- room, Gid came ont and told him that the priest had said to him and to oth: ers that it might be well to call at the Major's house immediately upon his return from Brantly. “He's all right.” said the Major, getting Up and taking the lead toward the library, And when he had sat down in his chair, bottomed with sheep-skin, he told his friends of his fears of a negro insurrection, of the dispatch and of the answer from the governor; and he related his talk with the Frenchman, whereupon Low, the Englishman, spoke up: “1 know that chap. It wouldn't sur prise me to learn that he put some ras cally black up to the trick of punch: Ing that hole in my bath, For a time he came about my place quite a bit, you know, but I gave him to under stand one day that I vastly preferred to choose my own associates, And you may rest with the assurance that he will be against the whites. Ah, with a Frenchman it is never a question as to which side he will take, By jove he always finds out which side the Englishman is on and then takes the other. I have brought with me a bi of Scotch whisky and T shall be pleas ed to have you gentlemen join me.” “Wait a minute.” said the Major “I have some lquor that was distilled sixty years ago by the grandfather o1 the commander of the Alabama, We'll try that first.” “Good!” cried the Briton. “I can’t eny the Alabama claim, you know.’ ‘And then he added: “Most extraordin ary, I assure you.” “Just wait till you smack your moutt on it,” said Gid, “Why, sir, there's the smile of a goddess in each droy ‘nd a ‘Paradise Regained’ in a swal low. Sit down, Wash Sanders—a swig of it would shoot you Into the al like a rocket.” “But really, Mr. Gid, I think a littl of it would help my appetite,” Sanders replied, looking anxiously toward the Major. “Appetite!” Gid cried, “You can ea the hind leg of a rhinoceros righ! now.” “Do you mean to Insult me, sir?’ Sanders retorted, weakly bristling up: and the Major turning from the side board, with the odd-shaped bottle anc several glasses in his hands, looked a Batts and sald: “Don't, Gid.” “AML right, but 1 was joking,” th old rascal declared. “Wash and I al ‘ways prank with each other.

Let’s see what old Billy has to say.” And now having put on his spectacles, he read ‘aloud the following: ‘co, Marcus 7.

He attributes the increase in value to the removal of what a late ten- ate considered an improvement. ‘The owner of the property is Hen- ry R, Edmunds, president of | the board of education, The property in question consisted of a good sized lot with a substantial house upon it in a good state of repair, Although the residence seemed a desirable one, its owner could not keep a tenant in it. The on.y man who could be per: suaded to remain on the premises was a caretaker, who did not fear ghosts, For the house was “haunted.” Mr, Edmunds does not believe in ‘ghosts any more than the caretaker did. He bought the house, paying $6, 000 for it, and then laid his plans for laying the ghost. After weeks of pa ‘tient watching the ghost was cap ‘tured, It was the caretaker, who, by giving the house a bad name, hed se- cured a habitation free for a couple it years, The house has a tenant now Philadelphia Press. | Drastic Comparison. “John, don’t stand there as spirit jess as an empty champagne bottle.”— Fliegende Blaetter, a Carbolated vaseline is an excellent remedy for any skin eruption, Never eat rich and greasy food if you have an oily complexion; eat plenty of fruit and wash the face in tepid water in which you have put a few drops of alcohol, "The woman who retains her good took avoids bismuth, zine and other such minerals which are often to be found in face lotions and powders, ‘These Uterauy turn a woman into @ hag. ‘+ A NEW KIND OF CATTLE : A KANSAS RANCHMAN’S SUCCESS AFTER YEARS OF WAITING Concerning the Divorce Evil Lived With a Tarantula for Six Months Odd and Interesting Facts A genuine new breed of Cattle, is what a Kansas man is bringing to per: fection out on the plains of Kiowa county, This herd is slowly being de- veloped by John Marriage, a ranch- man and breeder of Eagle Canyon ranch, near Mullinville, The story of its development is the story of the rise of Marriage from a country boy to a wealthy ranchman, Marriage 1s a native of England. About 35 years ago his father was secretary of a company which sold milk in London, and he lived with his family a Chelmsford. Later he came to Ameri ‘ca, settling near lowa Falls, la, When eats pioneer, unused to farming, had built a cabin and paid for his land he found that he had just sufficient means to buy two or three cheap cows and a team, Instead of doing this he spent his last dollar for one [pure bred Devonshire cow and one | good horse. He remembered that the cows, which had produced the milk noted in London for its purity and strength, were the products of many ‘crossings, and, while they were not | Fegistered, were superior for the pur pose to the registered breeds from lwhich they sprang, He sought t peas a similar animal by many crossings. In 12 years he had pro {duced an animal that had character | istics as distinct as had the Hereford Jersey, Angus or Holstein. He wouk sell the bull calves, but retained al the heifers, and thus he had the par ent herd of Marriage cattle. This is j the strain the young man brought tc his Kansas ranch. | ‘The Marriage cattle are deep red Cardinal Gibbons has called renew- ed attention to an old and familiar subject, and the mere fact that he handles it revives an interest which it is the duty of the moral and legal agencies in this country to persistent. ly sustain until a radical change for ‘the better is brought about.

And the worst of it is proceeding upon the same hypothesis, is that there is a sanction in law for it all and that some judges strain the meaning of the law in order to meet the wishes of applicants for “divorce, We have reached a point where mat. rimonial tragedies receive the treat ment of farce comedies. Some states invite all upon whom the bonds sit heavily to come and be relieved. They make a business of it, as New Jersey does of creating corporations, mani: testing the same disregard for the Hights and wishes of the people of oth er states, It brings in money, adds to the revenues of court officials who are |fed, helps the members of the bar and tends to increase rather than decrease |the number of judges required to take |eare of the dockets, In stich asylums [for those discontented, almost any ex ‘cuse for a divorce will procure it. And An ugly, venomous tartantula from the tropics was despatched at the home of William Zink, at Hudson and Willow streets, Gloucester city, yes terday, after it had terrorized the iamily for a period of six months Zink was a former fruit dealer, and one day kal a year ago while he was handling a bunch of bananas the huge spider hopped out and escaped. Zink and members of his family searched for the irsect for some time, but with: out avail, and then concluded that it had gone out into the wide world, Not long after that, however, the tarantu lu was discovered in the house, and agan chase was given it, but once more it escaped by hiding, At Intervals ever since then the tar antula had been seen at various plac es through the dwelling, but in every instance it managed to elude its pur suers, who began to bave creepy feel ings every time they saw anything move in a shadowy place. It got to be a reign of terror in the house, but né one seemed able to find the thing that menaced them. i Just as he and his wife were about Flower growers in the South of France and other favored climes find it profitable to send the products of their skill to British markets, In, 1902 the world consumed 72,799, 800 ponds of silk, The largest consu- mer was China, with over 14,000,006 pounds, followed next by America with 10,780,000 pounds. hornless, as stocky in build as Aber- deen-Augus, as good milkers as Jer- seys, hardy, and prolific breeders. Many two-year-old heifers calved this summer. The calves grow rapidly and both male and female mature rapid- ly. This is the formula according to Mr. Marriage, by which they are pro- duced; The foundation cow was the pure bred Devonshire, bought by bis father 35 years ago, Bred to a pedi- greed Holsetin-Friesan bull, weighing 2,400 pounds, the product was a red cow, an excellent milker, named Cherry. She by a red brindled Aber deen-Angus bull produced a pair of | brindly: roan heifers, and to a red Cruikshank brought several dark red, |horniess cattle, which proved very juseful beef and butter makers and very hardy. The present herd began 21 years ago with the choice of three of these, named Faith, Hope and |Charity. These were mated with an [imported Suffolksbire bull, weighing 2,350 pounds, and in turn a Norfolk polled bull was used, Tbis crossing produced the present Marriage cattle, jwhich, however, are to be further per- [fected by crossing with a double standard poll Duroam bull, now a calf Its name is Anak, and it Is from the two largest cattle of any breed in the world, Duke of Rose Pomona Il, weight 3,000 pounds, and Acacia Gwynne, weight 2,500. This bull will be the parent of the future herd, and with the resulting crossing Mr. Mar- riage will regard his breed as per- fected and will apply for a charter from the government giving them rec- cognition as a standard breed, in many other states this comes pretty near being true, Ip very many in- ‘stances the discretion of the judge is badly exercised. But for the supreme importance of the subjeet it would be laugbable to bear a judge grant a divorce on the grounds of ernelty be- cause a little woman was badgered in to throwing a dish at a big, “husky,” domineering man, kicking him out of bed, or occasionally lying down from sheer exhaustion when she would otherwise be preparing him a meal. Unless a check be interposed it will ‘soon be enongh to legally release a husband if a wife burn a beefsteak, warm the coffee over or make a bed without tucking the covers in at the foot, Women succeed on applications with a vacking in fact just as trivial. The whole thing is demoralizing in ‘every material way and direction. Marriage becomes a convenience for an experiment to be discarded at will, The sterner moralities are beld as lightly as the old-time prohibitions against card playing, danemg and Sun- day outings. ‘The only feasible way cout would seem to be in the adoption ‘of uniform divoree laws so rigidly drawn that the diseretion of the court: | wowu not extend to the sanctioning of ‘the deplorable conditions complained of by the cardinal.—Detroit Free Press.

CONTRACTING a heavily-bonded debt is something which may be accomplished in a few hours, but the rub comes in paying it off. The argument that is put forth that if the proposed $100,000 bond proposition carries, it will not increase taxation is not at all reasonable, for all bond issues mean increased taxation. Our thanks are due the following named persons for subscriptions this week: Mrs. America Welch, of Higbee: Mrs. J. Silone Yates, of Lincoln Institute; Mr. T. J. Bennett, of Davenport, Iowa; Mrs. Virgie Waldon, of Columbia. If the water furnished by Columbia's present Water Co., contains all that some of the University chemists say it contains, it is a wonder that all the people in Columbia have not died long ago. ONE has only to visit Lincoln Institute to see that it is in a prosperous condition. Everything seems to be peaceful and harmonious, which is something unusual for that institution. The greatest hindrance to the success of the school was removed last June when the Board dismissed the incompetent white employees of the school who felt they were honoring the institution with their presence. THE MAN FOR THE PLACE. The woods are full of candidates for the editorship of the Christian Recorder, the great journal of the A. M. E. Church. It is to the interest of the cause of the great A. M. E. church to see to it that a layman is put at the head of this organ if the people are to liquidate the debt that is now against it. It should be remembered that the ministers have the bishoprick, the ministers have the financial secretaryship; they have all of the fat churches and to concede the editorship of the Christian Recorder to a layman is only fair and just. Already a large number of the ministerial delegates have expressed themselves favorable to the proposition. If this office is to go to a layman, the West is entitled to the office. If this office goes to the West Prof. John H. Jackson of this city is the man for the place. He has but few equals in the country and no superiors as a scholar and a gentleman.

The second annual meeting of the Farmers' Convention was held at Lincoln Institute on Saturday, November 7th, 1903. President B. F. Allen had already organized and classified the students according to counties, and when the farmers came in they had but to take the seats set apart for persons from a given county. Banners with the names of the counties upon them designated the delegation of county or state, for there were several states represented in the student body. The convention was a great success, and besides those present, many letters were received from persons expressing their desire to be present, but who owing to the losses occasioned by the floods, found themselves unable to come. The convention adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, We are living in a state, a greater part of whose citizens are engaged in agriculture and kindred pursuits, and all of whose citizens are affected thereby; and Whereas, we believe that education is to prepare us for complete living and that we shall not be prepared therefore if we do not teach our children the dignity of labor and show them the strength and independence and manliness that will result from ownership; be it Resolved, That we deplore the deepseated prejudice against farming that exists among our people; that we shall encourage among them agricultural and kindred pursuits, and shall endeavor to take the element of drudgery out of it and make it as dignified as any other trade or profession by encouraging a better and higher standard of living; by owning our farms and equipping them with the latest and best field and garden implements; by buying less and producing more of what we use on our farms; by diversifying our crops and systematizing our work and calculating intelligently on our expenditures; by discountenancing the credit and mortgage systems and any other practice that will tend to ruin; by encouraging fruit growing, stock and poultry raising and breeding, canning and dairying; by building good homes and making them comfortable and attractive; by subscribing for good papers and magazines and keeping our eyes open for the best markets; by building good churches and school houses and asking for the best and most competent teachers and preachers; by encouraging our boys and girls to become peaceable and good citizens and to make themselves indispensable to the communities in which they live. Resolved further, That from reports made here and now and from testimony of those who have observed, because of special interest, that the spirit which the first convention sought to inculcate and the principles for which these conventions stand, have already been accepted and are being acted upon by the colored farmers of the state; and that we continue but with renewed interest and effort to organize conventions in those counties where there are enough negroes to warrant it; that we encourage and urge exhibits of farm products here as tangible evidence of the improvements we make in methods and economy from year to year as results of these conventions. Resolved, furthermore, That we thank Dr. B. F. Allen, president of Lincoln Institute and president of the convention, for his ceaseless interest and great efforts, and that we shall do our utmost to carry out the aims of these resolutions. Respectfully submitted. COMMITTEE. The following officers were elected: President, B. F. Allen; vicepresident, Henry Kirklin, Columbia; secretary, J. S. Yates; treasurer, G. S. Murry. State organizers—C. G. Wil- liams, Boonville; J. H. Keuner, Marshall; R. L. Logan, Columbia; E. L. Anthony, Jefferson City; Rev. McKinney, Carruthersville, Pemiscot county. $100 Reward. $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.
