Lincoln Institute Notes. There is possibly no other school of its size and character in the country, the work and discipline which received such constant and patient supervision at the hands of its administrative head, as is given Lincoln Institute by President Allen. Rarely absent from the grounds and buildings more than a few hours at a time, although calls for his presence are numerous from both without and within the state, he gives a great amount of time and oversight not only to the work of his special department—Pedagogy, but also to the careful supervision of the work of each department and keeping in personal touch with the work of each instructor creates and stimulates in both teacher and student that spirit of friendly rivalry and competition which is the very soul of intelligent progress in all lines of work, and at all stages of symmetrical development. Possessed of untiring energy himself, and capable of a vast amount of work in the course of twenty four hours, he is persistently and surely bringing Lincoln Institute to the front as a school that stands for exceptionally high grade scholarship, careful and conscientious endeavor, on the part of both teachers and students. Extensive preparation is being made for the Thanksgiving dinner and Miss Sprague of the Department of Domestic Science is not the only one whose face beams with smiles. A number of the members of the faculty have joined the French Class organized and taught by President Allen and excellena progress is being made in the study of "La langue Francaise." Sturgeon Notes. There is a good deal of sickness here at present. Mrs. Julia Curtis left Wednesday night for K. C. to spend Thanksgiving. There were no Thanksgiving services here Thursday but both churches gave dinners. Mr. Chas. Fry of Mexico was in the city Sunday. A literary program was rendered at the public school last Saturday. The girls were in the lead, only a few boys were found among the volunteers. But "no drones can stay where the busy bees work." A list of names headed the drones will appear later. The school room is a busy place, and those contented sauntering along in differently will fail to be a success in life, pluck, push, and goaheadness are some of the requirements of the coming man. Let us look up, and lift up. Tomorrow is unborn, yesterday is dead, today is the crisis of your life. Some of the pupils at the public school are doing excellent work in drawing.

The Lincoln Tigers met the Geo. R. Smith Dewey's in a slugging match, last Saturday, at Sedalia. The Sedalia boys did all the slugging. This was one of the most disgraceful football games that the Lincoln boys have had the misfortune to witness. All bruised, tattered and torn, they left Sedalia at 4:10 p. m. This so called game will long be remembered by the Tigers. This years' Tigers are composed of a set of young men, who believe in clean, straight-forward football. The students of Lincoln Institute are now passing through a series of examinations. Columbia Notes. Mrs. Jefferson Weldon is still very sick. Mrs. Alice Williams is on the sick list.

SCRIPTION IN NOW Concerning Mr. Brooks. The State Tribune says: In one way or another Crayton S. Brooks has been a Godsend to Missouri. One may not approve his methods, but the results are very much in evidence. He may talk too much, and he may say things that are termed impolite, but some of the noise he started in Jefferson City is still reverberating like thunder in the sky. We do not attempt to vouch for the correctness of his charges against any individuals, but the fact that interests the public most is that Brooks has hit many a red hot trail. The thousand dollar bills which he so dramatically exposed from his pulpit last winter are still in the air, chased by grand juries, State's attorneys and circuit courts, with a very fair chance that some may be safely landed. Mr. Brooks has been confirmed. He has been criticised, to be sure, but for what? For saying things that others have not had the nerve to say. He has done the dirty work. Others did not want to do it, but it had to be done, in the interest of decency, law and order. He is most largely responsible for the improvement in local conditions. He stirred the depths of legislative corruption. He was the pioneer boodle fighter. A HOLIDAY .AD.

REJECTS PEACE OVERTURES The New Repubile Rejects Colombian Proposals ENFORCE RIGHTS AT ANY COST The Conference was Held on Board the United States Ship, the Mayflower Colon, Noy. 25.—The Panama re- Public yesterday afternoon rejected the peace overtures mado by the Col- ombian commission, and the latter de- parted for Savanilla, declaring that Colombia will enforce the rights of the republic on the isthmus at any cost. Panama was represented at the con- ference, which was held on board the United States ship Mayflower, by Sen- ors Arias, Morales, and Arosemena, Nicaner Insignares, a brother of the governor of the state of Bolivar, was the spokesman of the Colombians. He made a strong appeal to the Panaman- fans not to disrupt the republic of Col- ombia, and supplemented his appeal by the solemn assurance that Colom- bia would grant all the rights demand- ed by the isthmians and eventually carry out their grand. project of build- ‘ing the canal, Replying Senator Arias, represent- ing the junta, said that the Bogota government and the Colombians gen- erally did not appear to grasp the ac- tual conditions prevailing on the tsth- mus, ‘The resolution, Senor Arias said, was born absolutely of the unan- imous desire of the entire people of Panama and was irrevocable. It was the act of a now independent govern- ment, already thoroughly organized and formally recognized by the Unit- ed States government in receiving its representatives, Senor M. Philippe Buena-Varilla, as well-as by the gov- ernments of France and Italy. Continuing Senor Arias said: “Colombia will always find in this country the most sincere brotherly feeling. The political ties binding the isthmus to Colombia have been brok- en, but the fault is not that of the isth- mus. The ties of affection, however, never can be broken.” Senor Insignares, in answer, ex- pressed his deep sorrow at finding that the hopes of reconciliation were impossible of realization. He declar- ed that all the people of Colombla would united in an effort to enforce the rights of the republic on the isth- mus of Panama even at the cost of great sacrifices.

She argued and expos- tulated, but there was her own ad- mission that she had 3,000 francs of her husband's money and had left him for Lathuraz, Lathuraz is a slight, curly-haired chap not 20 years old, while Mme, Isner is 32, SLEEP OF MANY YEARS ENDS Famous Trance of Sesine Meyer Is Spolled by Clanging Fire Bells.

A special reduction in other sections is thought to be inevitable. The cut ts attributed to the unsettled state of cotton goods trade resulting from the high price of raw cotton. Nome's Six Million Clean-Up. Seattle dispatches indicate that the season's output of gold for the en- tire Nome district was $6,000,000. There has been considerable excite- ment there over some tin discoveries on Cape Prince of Wales, where a camp known as Tin City has sprung up and a smelting plant is to be established, Cotton Oj! Profits Smaller. The American Cotton Oi! company, in its annual report, explains the divi- dend reduction from 6 to 4 per cent by reporting profits for the year as $108,125 less than last year, This was due to a poor foreign demand and a shortage of supply. As it is the surplus of the company is $500,000 smaller. Steel Workers’ Pay Cut. In pursuing its policy of retrench- ment the steel trust has ordered a cut in wages of all employes about 10 per cent, with a total saving of $15. 000,.-» annually. Several of the big companies will also be comsolidated #0 as to eliminate high-paid officers. American Capital in China. A group of New York capitalists, headed vy B. H. Harrimann, have or- ganized a syndicate for the purpose of securing railway concessions from Cnina, Their agents have already started for China. Railroad Stocks Lower. The puzzling feature of the stock market during the week was the gen eral decline in railroad stocks with a special drive against the Pennsyl: vanta securities, which ‘dropped Wednesday from 114 7-8 to 112%. Big Tobacco House Falls. Sutter Brothers, one of the largest wholesale leaf tobacco houses of Chi- cago, went into the hands: of a re- ceiver, Monday, under petition for tn voluntary bankruptcy by several cre- ditors.

LABOR AND CAPITAL Gompers on Sympathetic Strikes. In the annual address with whlch President Gompers opened the nation: al convention of the American Federa tion of Labor at Boston’ on Monday the declaration was made that sym: pathetic strikes should be discarded One feature which he said had been overlooked was the effect of draining any of the international organizations in the effort to sustain the members involved in a sympathetic strike. He sald the defense fund was a weapon with which to prevent strikes and that It was economic unwisdom to cur. tall the consuming power of the mass es, inasmuch as no country had ever become great founded upon the poy erty of Its workers. Sam Parks’ Last Word, Just before the convicted walking Gelegate of the New York House: smith’s union, Samuel J. Parks, was taken to serve his term in prison he gave out a statement to the press in which he urged that the, salvation of the unions lay in stopping the system of money transactions with employers, In this connection he charged that the New York employers were as crooked as any set of men in the world anu said that if labor leaders were grafters they were made so by the corruptness of the employers. More Colorado Strikes. ‘The Colorado mining situation has become more critical notwithstanding Memphis Carnival of Graft. ‘That political corruption {s not con- fined to the cities of the North and avast was indicated when the auditors appointed to examine the books of the city of Memphis reported the exis tence of irregularities in all depart- “ments, except those of health and plumbing. They say thatthe engin: @ering department Ume-books were eatroyed and that $600,000 has been spent without record, Miscellaneous Happenings that thé Cripple Creek mines are oper- ating nearly to their capacity with non-union labor under military pro- tection. Many additional strikes have occurred in other sections of the state, including the Telluride district and the properties of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. ‘The latter company closed in anticipation of a strike, The Colorado guard was to be recruited to 3,000 because of these additional strikes, Unions Attack Mormons, The first step toward a general labor union war against the Mormon church and its institutions by the labor unions of Utah was taken when the International Typographical union ‘at Salt Lake put the Desert News on the unfair list and forbade local union officials and all local newspapers to exchange matrices with the type or news. The Mormon church has for- bidden its members to join unions and @ fight to the finish is now on, Ueah Minera Gat bare Coincident with the big coal min- ers’ strixe in Colorado for better pay the miners of Utah have received 10 per cent advance in wages. Many of the Utah miners baa refused to obey the order of the United Mine Workers, Machinists’ Note of Warning. President O'Connell of the Interna- tional Association of Machinists has issued a circular letter to all locals advising caution in the ordering of strikes owing to the falling off of trade. . RELIGIOUS | Seven Weeks From Hell. With these senational words, Rev. Dr. Parkhurst of New York charac- terlzed the approaching return of the Tammany administration in his ser- mon last Sunday. Speaking of the ultimate cause of the Tammany vic- tory at the polls, he sald it was the half-breed integrity of the so-called better classes of New York, the gen- tlemen and ladies who gamble in their own houses with “nice” people, He predicted that the excesses of a wide- open city would once more tumble it out upon the green grass two years from now. Rockefeller for Church Trust The latest deliverance of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., before his Bible class has attracted considerable attention because it was virtually a call for church unity, He said nothing had more to do with retarding religion than the oposition of churches on des tails about bow they should serve their master. He urged that denomin- ations should unite in opposition to wickedness. Creeds, he declared, were not vital. Would Hang Millionaires. At the meeting of the Baptist con- gress in Philadelphia, the Rev. John Shape made a fierce attack on our in- dustrial system, which permits some to have millions, while others lack the oportunity to live decently, He said it ought to be a capital offense for any man to bave a million dollars and that a man who works employes ten hours a day is a cannibal. Floating Mission Dedicated. Hereafter when a sailor comes to the port of New York he will have free conveyance op Sunday to @ so- cial and religious service by means of the new harbor missfon boat, which was dedicated by Bishop Potter, Wednesday, on behalf of the Protes- tant Episcopal Missionary society. Accordingto the last number of the “Lutheran,” the membership of the Lutheran church in America has ad- vanced steadily from 136,629 in 1848 to 1,728,812 in 1902, These are dis- tributed in 11,678 congregations and have 7,090 ministers, ‘They have es- ‘tablished seventeen seminaries and ‘thirty colleges.

E, church in session at Omaha, Neb., reports a total of $1,654,233 given for missions during the year, breaking all records, The disbursements were $365,425. Wood's Confirmation Blocked. In the senate on Wednesday the nomination of Brigadier-General Leo- nard Wood to be a major-general brought forth oposition from Senator Teller of Colorado, who announced that certain charges would have to be investigated. It was reported that Senator Hanna was also opposed to thie confirmation. GENERAL POLITICAL Panama Orders Modified. The navy department decided Tues day to modify its orders to the ships in isthmian waters regarding the in vasion of the isthmus. Instead of pre: venting the soldiers of Colombia from embarking on an expedition against Panama our ships are to merely notl: fy the Colombians that in case they do embark they will not be allowed to disembark on the snores of Panama. Moral suasion only ts to be used against embarkation, To interfere with the movements of Colombian troops on their own shores was thought to exceed the rights and du: ties of American officers under the treaty of 1846. evan Staree-46r Guding W. J. Bryan of Nebraska, with his 18-year-old son, William J., Jr., sailed Wednesday from New York on the Majestic for an extended tour of England and the continent. Before sailing he declined to say anything on any subject, As a parting shot, Mr. Bryan de- livered a flerce philippic against Gro- ver Cleveland and declared that the financial issue was not yet dead. He said that Cleveland could not by any possibility be nominated, Panama's Minister Received. Pursuant to arrangement made’ by Secretary Hay, Wednesday Mr. Phil- ippe Bunau-Varilla, as minister plenipotentary and envoy extrdordin- ary of the republic of Panama had a formal audience with President Roosevelt Fridaf. This fact made Panama a full-fledged member of the family of nations. Mr. Varilla de nied that his letter to Senator Mor. gan appealing for the senator's sup- port of the Panama route was written in his official capacity. ‘Holdide Us etetoel Rantet: Much comment has been caused by the delay in making public the Bris tow report on the postal service scan- dals. After looking into the big docu: ment the president is said to have ordered a 6,000 word epitome, which Bristow said was impracticable. ‘The report is said to reflect so much on Perry Heath that the grand jury will act, SCIENTIFIC Life in Other Worlds. Prof. F. J. Allen, in the November Popular Science Monthly, discusses the question, is there life in other worlds? By a progress of induction he concludes: “If life is essentially a function of the elements nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, acting together, then it can probably occur only on exceptional worlds, with con- ditions closely resembling those of our own earth. Such conditions are not present in any other world in our solar system, nor can they be expect: ed to occur frequently in members of other systems. On the other hand, if different con- ditions can awaken a capacity for ex- alted energy traffic among other ele: ments than those just named, then the universe seems to provide im: mense possibilities of life, whose variety and magnificence may far ex: ceed anything that we can imagine. A Gas Like Rudium. Profs. Burstead and Wheeler of the Yale scientific school have come to the conclusion that the radioactive gas recently discovered by them in the drinking water of New Haven fs not an emanation from any substance dissolved in the water. The residue trom the water is only slightly active. Nevertheless they have shown that the water oflwing from a great depth fs more radio-active than surface water, The experiments are contin uing. EDUCATIONAL | Schoo! Blackboard Newspaper. In one of the public schools of Syra- cuse, N. Y., the plan has been adopted of using the blackboard as a daily six- column newspaper.

He advised, among other reme dies, deeper plowing of the ground, class is called each pupil writes a bit of news and hands {t into the edl- tor, who, with the teacher's assis- tance, then proceeds to place the se- lected matter on the blackboard un- der general classifications of foreign, educational, scientific, political, com- mercial, ete, The Educational Star. The latest quarterly statement ts: sued by President Harper of the Uni- versity of Chicago shows a tendency toward “staring” system so prevalent in stageland. In describing the scientific researches now being con- ducted by his university, Mr, Harper thinks it best not to mention the names of the scientists thus engaged, preferring to label tiga with letters of the alphabet, as: “Mr. A.

The Chicago health department has issued a circular to public school teachers containing suggestions for teacning cleanliness, The first one Is: “Not to spit; it is rarely necessary. To spit on a slate, floor or sidewalk is an abomination.” Until this in- Junction is heeded and enforced antl spitting ordinances will do little good. ‘The spitting habit 1s acquired early in life. It can be best and most sure- ly suppressed at the same period. Stop the beginning. McKay Millions to Harvard.

The compulsory education law would be a good thing in Missouri. Editor Trotter, of the Boston Guardian, is reported to have been placed in jail recently, for assisting a gang of rowdies in disturbing a public meeting at which Prof. Booker T. Washington was speaking. Our thauks are due the following named persons for recent subscriptions: Mr. Geo. Blackburn, Mr. James Laforce, and Miss Lucile Smith of Columbia, Mrs. May Smith and Mrs. Sallie Bowman of Armstrong. Some people think that when they pay or even promise to pay subscription to a newspaper, they are expected to help run it. They want their names to appear in every issue, and nothing good is to be said of any one they don't like; and if their friends do any thing wrong, even though it be the talk of the town, the newspaper must not mention it. In fact, they think $1.00 invested in subscription should make him a large stock holder and one of the assistant general managers of the concern. Much is being said about Miss Rossevelt's snubbing one Harry Lehr in a New York theatre. It is, however, no credit to Miss Roosevelt to have the report circulated that she treated any one with disrespect. Turning her back on a gentleman who is treating her with the greatest of respect, is unbecoming any lady of refinement, and Miss Roosevelt should be no more exempt from the laws of etiquette than any one else. There is no doubt but that Miss Roosevelt could have gotten rid of this young man and at the same time not encroached upon her dignity.

The Preacher and His Sermon By REV. LATHAN A. CRANDALL. TARS, flowers, pictures and rhetorical language constitute a sermon. The preacher should a point that will not require a microscope, flaring label to identify or understand, should always aim to say something will take to preach. Sermons ought to have clearly defined. Some people have horror of sermonic bombing, secondly and thirdly. They tell us they are some of the sermon. As between A SKELETONLY WITH THE BAG LEFT OFF, I PRESENT know of any valid reason why a preacher SHOOSE A TEXT. There are many themes difficult, if not impossible, to find a fitting paraphrase about "Preaching for the times." The phrase is not always clear. Practically, however, the twentieth century is in most respects like to the man of the first century. Human nature in spite of the many changes the centuries message of to-day, as always, must be one who of hope. In sermon writing and delivery is neglected in less. I am convinced that the attention given to church history and Old and New Testament especially large compared to the training given to readers their study and prayer in such a way as to God. Who shuts himself up six days in the week himself to contemplation and hard thinking,irable from the standpoint of scolarship, prudent but such sermons will lack vitality. They will side of life, and even there their value is of no form of THEOLOGY WHICH A MAN HAS LITTLE OR NOTHING TO DO.ITY AS A PREACHER. There is a deal: "THE HUNGERING OF THE MASSEE."

They tell us they do not want to see the frame of the sermon. As between A SKELETON AND A BAG OF JELLY WITH THE BAG LEFT OFF, I PREFER THE SKELETON. I do not know of any valid reason why a preacher SHOULD ALWAYS CHOOSE A TEXT. There are many themes for which it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to find a fitting passage to serve as a text. We hear much about "Preaching for the times." The exact meaning of this phrase is not always clear. Practically, however, the message for the man of the twentieth century is in most respects like that which was brought to the man of the first century. Human nature remains about the same in spite of the many changes the centuries bring about. The helpful message of to-day, as always, must be one which is distinct, clear and full of hope. Training in sermon writing and delivery is neglected in our theological seminaries. I am convinced that the attention given systematic theology, church history and Old and New Testament exegesis is disproportionately large compared to the training given to men to present the results of their study and prayer in such a way as to build up the Kingdom of God. The man who shuts himself up six days in the week with his books and devotes himself to contemplation and hard thinking may produce sermons admirable from the standpoint of scolarship, preparation and wide reading, but such sermons will lack vitality. They will touch only the intellectual side of life, and even there their value is questionable. THE FORM OF THEOLOGY WHICH A MAN HOLDS AND DECLARES HAS LITTLE OR NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS POPULARITY AS A PREACHER. There is a deal of nonsense talked about "THE HUNGERING OF THE MASSES FOR THE GOSPEL." If any man knows of ANY SUCH SPECIFIC MASS OF HUMANITY he will confer a favor upon a large number of preachers by pointing it out. Certainly Chicago does not abound with masses of this character.

Curator ercise of the same power by a foreign monarch. The arbitrary control of the price of coal and iron and corn and wheat and beef, whether by an extortionate transportation rate or by a monster combination, is a more absolute tyranny of the American people than quartering the army of King George upon the American colonists without their consent. Let us see if the time be not ripe for a new declaration of American independence. We are building up colossal fortunes, granting unlimited power to corporate organization and consolidating and massing together business interests as never before in the commercial history of the world, but the people are losing control of their own government. Its foundations are being sapped and its integrity destroyed. The gravest danger menacing republican institutions to-day is the overbalancing control of city, state and national legislatures by the wealth and power of public service corporations. The national government, every state government, every city government has its problem to solve—not at some other time, but now. Triple Source of the Nation's Wealth By PROF. CHARLES F. MILLSPAUGH, Curator of Botany in Field Columbian Museum, Chicago. HE three botanical products of this continent, playing an important part in the social and economic problems of the world, with a commercial interest so deep as to be properly considered the greatest sources of America's wealth, are timber, corn and cotton. The majestic forests, stretching from Maine to Mississippi, and the great northwest; the corn, "within whose yellow heart there is of health and strength for all nations;" the there cotton, with its snow of the earth, mark the est among the manifes Of the 900,000 country, from an aver olive oil, and some of of this oil goes to the bronzed tin boxes, it one-half masquerades comes squarely before The effect of a p a vast amount of lar prove of great benefit with much of the da cotton, with its snowy fleece, converted into raiment for all the people of the earth, mark this abundant, fruitful, wondrous land as the greatest among the manifestations of God. Of the 900,000,000 pounds of cotton-seed oil produced in this country, from an average cotton crop, much goes abroad and returns as olive oil, and some of it becomes olive oil without foreign travel. Much of this oil goes to the coast of Maine, whence, with young smelts and bronzed tin boxes, it returns to our markets as French sardines. Nearly one-half masquerades as pure butter and fine leaf lard, and the balance comes squarely before us as cottolene and cotosuet. The effect of a pure vegetable fat of this type upon a nation using a vast amount of lard and butter, as does the American nation, must prove of great benefit to the health of the people at large. It does away with much of the danger of tuberculous contamination from cows and trichinous invasion from swine.
