Let each citizen join in and help us make this republican gathering an noble one. and at the same time make the visitors feel themselves at white in our midst. Bits of Wisdom for the Mothers. Teach your children correct enunciation. Palns are taken to have children roperly taught to sing, but they are not so carefully taught to read and speak, yet more than half the charms of social intercourse de ends on the agree able use of the voice. Teach your children the proper use of money. Do not indulge them by giving them money in an indiscriminate manner to spend as they please. Children who gets a nickel every time they they ask for it often make themselves sick eating cheap cakes and candy, sickness oft resulting from your own se-fishness in giving them manoy to be rid of their importunities. It is also apt to make them grow up with extravagant ideas, and very often stealing is the second step, when parents indulgence has worn out. Teach them to be selfconfident. The world rises and upholds the one who will "do and dare." Those who make their mark in the world are bold the aggressive and the self-confidence. Those who dare mark out a path and have the courage to follow it. Teach them to do what is right regardless of artificial rewards and penalties. Teach them to prefer the good without preference to self, to plan for and aim at giving others pleasure, not getting it. And although in so doing these will experience a rich enjoyment themselves, it will be incidental, never one for which they had striven. Teach them to be forgiving, to be courteus. A well-bred child is ever a courteous child: forgiveness and courtesy go hand in hand. Don't allow your children to be "snubby" towards people. Teach them they can never avenge one wrong by committing another; two wrongs never made a right. Discourage bitterness, jealousy and rancor: teach them that "speech is silver," but silence is golden. The very best way to meet insult and injury is with an utter, sifting indifference; nothing cuts the slander like the knowledge of being totally ignored. Anger, hatred, bicking and quarreling always inflict the greatest wrong in their reaction. Teach them never to argue with the positive person, it does no pay, savvity is better than insisting on your own opinion and getting it, even if you know you are in the right dont force your opinion. Teach them that life is too short to waste time on frivolous things, the good men and women are ever in great demauc—men and women who are not afraid of work, who, having centered their aims, have persistence to follow it, remember; "tis the long, steadily pull, the unconquerable purpose, the unbroken effort, that with the battle of life.—Ex ATTENTION COLORED MEN. A mass meeting o" the Colored Republican of Sedalia and Pittis county is called for next Wednesday; to meet in the office o" the Times, for the purpose selecting six delegates from this city and county to attend the Negro Republican State Leage, which will be held in this city, June 23st. and to select the various committees for said convention. J. S'las Harris Pies, N. R. S L. AKINS WILL BE RE-ELECTED Chairman Thos. J. Akins of the Republican state committee seems to be having things all his own way nowadays. Nearly avery republican county convention that has met so far is commending his work for the in the past and are anxious for him to continue until Missouri goes Republican and as long afterwards as he deems it best to hold his present position; and to that end they are enthusiastically endorsing him for the second term as chairman, and when the convention meets he will no doubt be re-elected Politicial Pick Ups.

Just Because One Has Seen Snow One May Not Know All About Everything. When the young man from Florida came to live in New York he woke up one morning last winter and, going to the window, he looked out on what was to him a novel scene. It was a snowstorm, the first he had ever seen. Jumping into his clothes, he ran into the street. He stooped and gathered handfuls of snow and threw them in the air; he jumped into a drift and sent it flying with his feet; he finally lay down and robed in it—all this time shouting and laughing at the top of his voice. One of the crowd which had gathered to watch his antics went up to him and told him how his mother used to cure fits and volunteered to try it on him. "I haven't any," the young man said. "What's the matter with you, then?" "Why, don't you see the snow?" "Yes, I see it. What of it? I have seen it before." "Well, I haven't," said the Florida young man. "What! You never saw snow before?" asked the astonished questioner. "Never. Seems strange to you, don't it?" "It beats any sample of verdancy I ever ran across." "Oh, I don't know," mused the Florida cracker, according to the New York Mail and Express. "Did you ever see an alligator eating a black boy? No? Well, you are not so many, after all. I have seen it many times. And, throwing a handful of snow on his shirt collar, he pursued his joyous combs. CARRIED THE BACCHANTE. And That Was Enough to Bring Reproach Upon Him in the City of "Cultchah." "You say," said the sympathetic housewife, looking down from the elevation of the doorstep upon the latest applicant for suburban clarity, relates the New York Tribune, "that you have honestly done your best to find employment?" "I do, madame." "Have you a trade or regular vocation?" "I was formerly an expressman." "In what city?" "In Boston." "But surely, at this time of the year, in a big city like Boston, you ought to be able to find work enough as an expressman!" "Madame, you do not know Boston. You have heard, years ago, of, the Bacchante? Yes. Then it is only necessary to tell you that I am one of the expressmen who carried her on the road." "But I do not see." "The fact became generally known, madame. From that moment I ceased to be respectable. There is no one in Boston who will employ me." W. H. H. MRS. KATE TAYLOR. Mrs. Kate Taylor, a graduated nurse of prominence, gives her experience with Peruna in an open letter. Her position in society and professional standing combine to give special prominence to her utterances. CHICAGO, ILL., 427 Monroe St.—"As far as I have observed Peruna is the finest tonic any man or woman can use who is weak from the after effects of any serious illness. "I have seen it used in a number of convalescent cases, and have seen several other tonics used, but I found that those who used Peruna had the quickest relief. "Peruna seems to restore vitality, increase bodily vigor and renew health and strength in a wonderfully short time."---MRS. KATE TAYLOR. In view of the great multitude of women suffering from some form of female disease and yet unable to find any cure, Dr. Hartman, the renowned specialist on female catarrhal diseases, has announced his willingness to direct the treatment of as many cases as make application to him during the summer months, without charge.

A DEFENSE OF THE ARMY. ARMY'S MISSION IN THE PHILIPPINES. While There Have Been Some Abuses, Which Every Effort is Being Made to Correct, the Work Has Been Done, In the Main, Courageously and Humanely. Washington, May 31.—Following is the full text of President Roosevelt's Memorial day address, delivered at the exercises in Arlington cemetery: The President's Address: It is a good custom for our country to have certain solemn holidays in commoration of our greatest men and of the greatest crises in our history. There should be but few such holidays. To increase their number is to cheapen them. Washington and Lincoln—the man who did most to found the union, and the man who did most to preserve it—stand head and shoulders above all our other public men, and have by common consent won the right to this pre-eminence. Among the holidays which commemorate the turning points in American history, Thanksgiving has a significance peculiarly its own. On July 4 we celebrate the birth of the nation; on this day, the 30th of May, we call to mind the deaths of those who died that the nation might live, who wagered all that life holds dear for the great prize of death in battle, who poured out their blood like water in order that PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT the mighty national structure raised by the far-seeing patriotism of Washington, Franklin, Marshall, Hamilton, and the other great leaders of the Revolution, great framers of the constitution, should not crumble into meaningless rules. Your comrades who work to-day will be beside you in the perilous years during which strong, sad, patient Linein bore the crushing load of national leadership, performed the would have meant destiny to perform which have meant destiny to thing which makes the name America a symbol of hope among the nations of mankind. You did the greatest and most necessary task which has ever fallen to you. Linein was born in hempisphere. Nearly three centuries have passed since the waters of our coasts were first furrowed by the keels of the men whose children's children were to inherit this fair land. Over a century and a half, the men have settled; and now for over a century and a quarter we have been a nation. The Vital National Task. During our four generations of national life we have had to do many tasks, and some of them of far reaching importance; but the only really vital task was the one of protecting our nation. There were other crises in which to have gone wrong would have meant disaster, but this was the one crisis in which to have gone wrong would have meant not merely disaster in our annuation. For failure to have been made; but had you failed in the iron days the loss would have been irreparable, the defeat irretrievable. Upon your success depended all the future of our nation, and much of the future of mankind a whole. You left us a reinstated country. You left us the right of brotherhood with the men in gray, who with such courage, and such devotion for what they deemed the right, fought against you. But you left us much more even than your achievement, for you left us the memory of how you fought against them by your valor and patriotism the statesmanship of Lincoln and the soldiership of Grant, have set as the standards for our efforts in the future both the way you did your work in war and the way in which when the war was over you turned again to the work of peace. In war and in peace, you will turn our wisest of lessons to us and our children and our children's children. Another and Difficult Task. Just at this moment the army of the United States, led by men who served among you in the great war, is carrying to completion a small but peculiarly trying machine gun, not only the honor of the flag but the triumph of civilization over forces which stand for the black chaos of savagery and barbarism. The task has not been as difficult or as important as yours, but, oh, the United States, the American, the United States, who have for the last three years patiently and uncompromisingly championed the American cause in the Philippine islands, are your younger brothers, you are your younger show themselves not unworthy of you, but they are entitled to the support of all men who are proud of what you did. These younger comrades of yours have fought under terrible difficulties and have received terrible provocation from a very large number of people, the strain of these provocations I deeply deplore to say that some among them have so far forgotten themselves as to counsel and commit, in retaliation, acts of cruelty. The fact that for every guilty act of cruelty committed by the hundred acts of far greater atrocity have been committed by the hostile natives upon our troops, or upon the peaceable and law-abiding natives who are friendly to us, can not be held to excuse any of the acts of cruelty committed and unswerving effort must be made, and is being made, to find out every instance of barbarity on the part of our troops, to punish those guilty of it, and to take, if possible, even stronger measures than the usual measures to prevent the occurrence of all such instances in the future. Cruelty Practiced at Home. From time to time there occur in our country, to the deep and lasting shame of human cruelty and circumstances of inhuman cruelty and barbarity—a cruelty infinitely worse than any that has ever been committed by our troops in the Philippines; worse to the Philippines, is more brutalizing to those guilty of it. We must condemn these lynchings, and yet clamor about what has been done in the Philippines, are indeed guilty of neglecting the team in their war, and aunting the team about the motive he has to understand me. These lynchings afford us no excuse for failure to stop cruelty in the Philippines. Every effort is being made, and we must minimize the chances of cruelty occurring. But keep in mind that these cruelties in the Philippines have been wholly exceptional, and have been shamelessly aggraggated. We deeply and bitterly regret that we have not committed, no matter how rarely, no matter under what provocation, by American troops. But they afford far less justification in a more condemnation of our army than these lynchings or the condemnation of the communities in which they have taken place. In each case it is well to condemn the deed, and it is well also to refrain from including both guilty persons in the same sweeping condemnation. Don't Condemn All For the Few. In every community there are people who commit acts of well-nigh inconceivable horror and baseness. If we fix our eyes only upon these individuals and upon numerous citizens of the night and life and blind ourselves to their countless deeds of wisdom and justice and philanthropy, it is easy enough to condemn the community. There is not a city in this land which we could not thus condemn if we were to record and refused to look at what it had accomplished for decency and justice and charity. Yet this is exactly the attitude which has been taken by too many men in our army in the Philippines; and it is an attitude both absurd and cruelly unjust. The rules of warfare which have been promulgated by the war department and accepted as the basis of conduct by our enemies, are based on the will of Abraham Lincoln when you, my hearers, were fighting for the union. These rules provide, of course, for the just severity necessary in war. The most destructive of all forms of weakness would be the use of weapons mandated by iron need. But all cruelty is forbidden, and all harshness beyond what is called for by need. Our enemies in the Philippines have not merely violated every rule of war, but have made of these violations war. We would have been justified by Abraham Lincoln's rules of war in infinitely greater severity than has been shown. The fact really is that our warfare is on with singular humanity. For every act of cruelty by our men there have been innumerable acts of forbearance, magnanimity and generous kindness. These are the qualities which have characterised the war as a whole. The cruelties have been wholly exceptional, on our part. The Guilty to Be Punished. The guilty are to be punished; but in punishing them, let those who sit at ease at home, who walk deliberately and live in the safe places of the earth, remember also to do them common justice. Let not the most powerful man be much at strong men who with blood and sweat face years of toil and days and nights in agony, and at need lay down their lives in remote tropic jungles to the world's dark places. The farfare that has extended the boundaries of civilization at the expense of barbarism and savagery has been for centuries one of the most potent factors in the progress of man. Yet from its very nature it has always and everywhere been liable to dark abuses. It behooves us to keep a vigilant watch to prevent these abuses and to punish those who commit them; but if because of them we flinch from finishing the task we must have bravery to ourselves craven and weaklings, unworthy of the stres from whose loins we sprang. There were abuses and to spare in the civil war. Your false friends then called Grant, a "butcher," and spoke of how his list of enemies, "as Lincoln's hurlings." Your open foes—as in the resolution passed by the confederate congress in October, 1882, accused you, at great length, and with much particularity, of "contemptuous disregard of the usages of civilized war" to the horrors of our own war to banishment, imprisonment, and death; of "murder," of "rapine," of "outrages on women," of "lawless cruelty," of "perpetrating atrocities which would be disgraced to savages"; and Abraham Lincoln was singled out for especial attack by the mob, for the rococity. Verily, these men who thus foully slandered you have their heirs to-day in those who traduce our armies in the Philippines, who fix their eyes on individual deeds of wrong so keenly that at once blind to the great work of peace and freedom that has already been accomplished. Peace and Freedom. Peace and freedom—are there two better objects for which a soldier can fight? Well, these are precisely the objects for which our soldiers are fighting in the Philippines, where we are fighting cruelties committed by the Philippines, remember always that by far the greater proportion of these cruelties have been committed by the insurgents against their own people—as well as against our soldier's own people—on only one occasion, but the only effectual of stopping them is by the progress of the American arms. The victories of the American army have been the really effective means of putting a stop to cruelty in the Philippines. Where and when we are fighting cruelties and such is now the case throughout the greater part of the islands—all cruelties have ceased, and the native is secure in his life, his liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Where the insurrection still happens, then always a chance for cruelty to show itself. Our soldiers conquer; and what is the object for which they conquer? To establish a military government? No. The army must be appointed to appoint the government of the Philippines are to increase the power and domain of the civil at the expense of the military authorities, and to render even more difficult than in the past the chance of oppression. The army must also secure peace in order that it may itself be peace by the civil government. The progress of the American arms means the abolition of cruelty, the bringing of peace, and the rule of law and order under the civil government to create irresponsible military rule. We conquer to bring just and responsible civil government to the conquered. Results of Our Conquests. But our armies do more than bring peace, do more than bring order. They bring freedom. Remember always that the independence of a tribe or a community may, and often does, have nothing to do with the freedom of the individual in. There are now in Asia and Africa scores of despotic monarchies, each of which is independent, and in no one of which is there the slightest vestige of freedom for the man. Scant indeed is the gain to mankind of independence of a blood-stained tyrant who never abject and brutalized slaves. But great is the gain to humanity which follows the steady though slow introduction of the oblivious liberty, the law-abiding freedom of the individual, the foundation upon which national independence can be built. Wherever in the Philippines the insurrection has been definitely and finally put down, there the individual Filipino already enjoys such freedom, personal liberty, under our rule, as he can imagine dream of under the rule of an "independent" Aguinaldian oligarchy. The Art of Self-Government. The slowly-learned and difficult art of sat-government, an art which our people have been taught to labor of a thousand years, can not be greatened day by a people only just imprinting from conditions of life which our ancestors left behind them in the dim years before history dawned. We believe that we can rapidly teach the people of our country but how to make good use of their freedom; and with their growing knowledge their growth in self-government shall keep steady pace. When they have thus shown their capacity for real freedom by their power, self-government, then, in the future, they are to exist independently of us or be knit to us by ties of common friendship and interest. When that day will come it is not in human wisdom now to foretell. All that we can say with certainty is that it would be put back as immense distance from us, the humane, humanly weakness and turn loose the islands, to see our victorious foes butcher with revolting cruelty our betrayed friends, and shed the blood of the most humane, the most enlightened, the most peaceful, the wisest and the best of all people, to teach the classes who have already learned to welcome our rule. Our Duty to Our Own. Nor, while fully acknowledging our duties to others, need we forget our duty to our own country. The Pacific seaboard is as much to us as the Atlantic; as we grow in power and prosperity so our interests will be the immemorial cast. The shadow of our deatiny has already reached to the shores of Asia. The might of our people already looms large against the world-horizon; and it will loom ever larger as we grow. We have the right to neglect the interests of our people in the Pacific; interests which are important to all our people, but which are of most importance to those of our people who have built populous and thriving cities on the western slope of our continent. Not a Party Question. This should no more be a party question than the war for the union should have been a party question. At this moment the Philippine islands is the vice-governor, Gen. Luke Wright of Tennessee, who gallantly wore the gray in the civil war and who is now working hand in hand with the governor of the Philippines, Adua Chaffee, who in the civil war gallantly wore the blue. Those two, and the 12 men under them, from the north and from the south, in civil life and in military life, as teachers, as administratives, as usus who live at home. Here and there black sheep are to be found among them; but taken as a whole they represent a high standard of public service as this nation has been working a great work for civilization, a great work for the honor and the interest of this nation, and above all for the welfare of the inhabitants of the Philippine island, to honor to them; and shame, thrice shame, to us if we fail to uphold their hands! RUINS OF AN ANCIENT CITY Interesting Discovery Among the Ruins of the Zapotrean Cities of Mexico. Mexico City, May 30.—Leopoldo Bates, conservator of national monuments, has returned from his explorations among the ruins of the Zapotrean cities, in the state of Oaxaca. Among other discoveries he found the ruin of an ancient city on Monte Alban, which shows unmistakable indications of having been submerged perhaps 3,000 year ago, for traces of extinct marine life were discovered. Among the ruins is an obelisk, similar to those of Egypt, which was found placed at the entrance of a tomb, exactly as was the custom in Egypt. Mr. Batres will make a detailed report of this remarkable prehistoric city to the government. Monte Alban was visited some time ago by Prof. Colmes, of the Smithsonian institution, of Washington, D.C. It stands 1,800 feet higher than the city of Oaxaca, and it has a center square surrounded by great temples. FROM PRIVATE TO GENERAL. Vacancies Created—Long and Gallant Service to be Fittingly Rewarded—Retired. Washington, May 31.—Gen. William F. Spurgin, recently promoted from colonel of the Fourth infantry, has been retired, making two vacancies at present in the list of brigadier generals. Col. Samuel M. Whiteide, Tenth cavalry, stationed at Fort Robinson, Neb., will be named for one of the vacancies. He entered the army as a private in 1858 and served gallantly throughout the civil war, and also rendered efficient service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war and subsequently. Maj. William F. McCammon, Sixth infantry, now in Manila, has been retired. Drowned in the Arkansas. Lakin, Kas., May 31.—Thomas Hinsley, a well-to-do citizen of this county, was drowned in the Arkansas river yesterday. He was on a bridge watching the rising flood when the birdage was caught by the high water in the river and swept away before he could escape. The immense rains of the past three days in this county have caused the river to rise to such proportions as to ruin three of the largest bridges. Exonerated His Wife. Chicago, May 31.—Daniel Hill, the wealthy board-of-trade man who was shot a week ago, was yesterday allowed to talk by his physicians. "I was shot by burglar's," said he. "And I want to say that I have a lot more respect for those burglar's than for the people who have been insinuating that Mrs. Hill had some connection with the shooting." Ordered Suspended From Duty San Francisco, May 31.—Capt. K. G Martens, master of the United States army transport Bufard, was found guilty of cruelty, profanity and neglect of his log by a board of army officers and he was ordered suspended from duty. EVERY WOMAN HAS BACKACHE Housekeepers, wives, mothers, every woman who has the care of a family or household, has at one time or another spells of backache, nervous weakness, sick headache and disorders in the digestion, caused as a rule by domestic worry, overwork, irregular meals or habitual constipation. To all women who suffer in this way, we say: TAKE ... PRICKLY ASH BITTERS IT CURES It performs a marvelous transformation.

Mr. Balfour Announces the Peace Terms In the British House of Commons. BURGHERS TO SURRENDER THEIR ARMS. They Are to Desist From Further Resistance and Acknowledge King Edward VII. as Their Lawful Sovereign—Prisoners of War to Be Repatriated. London, June 3.—The demand for accommodation in the house of commons Monday afternoon to hear the statement of the first lord of the treasury and government leader, A. J. Balfour, was unprecedented. Mr. Balfour arose at 2:45 p. m., and announced the terms of peace in South Africa, as follows: "His excellency, Lord Milner, in behalf of the British government; his excellency, Mr. Steyn, Gen. Bremner, Gen. C. R. De Wet and Judge Hertzog, acting in behalf of the Orange Free State, and Gen. Schalkberger. Gen. Reitz, Gen. Louis Botha and Gen. Delarey, acting in behalf of their respective burghers, desiring to terminate the present hostilities, agree to the following terms: "The burgher forces in the field will forthwith law down their arms and hand over all their guns, rifles and ammunition of war in their possession, or under their control, and resist from further resistance and acknowledge King Edward VII, as their lawful sovereign. "The manner and details of this surrender will be arranged between Lord Kitchener and Commandant Gen. Botha, assisted by Gen. Delarey and Chief Commandant De Wet. "Second—All burghers outside the limits of the Transvaal and Orange River colony, and all prisoners of war at present outside South Africa who are burghers, will, on duly declaring their acceptance of the position of subjects of his majesty, be brought back to their homes as soon as means of transport can be provided and means of subsistence assured. "Third—The Boers surrendering will not be deprived of personal liberty or property. "Fourth—No proceedings, civil or criminal, will be taken against the Boers surrendering or returning, for any acts in connection with the prosecution of the war. The benefit of this clause does not extend to certain acts contrary to the usages of war. "All such cases to be reported by the commander-in-chief to the Boer generals and to be tried by court-martial immediately after the close of hostilities. "The Dutch language to be used in the schools when the parents desire and in the courts when necessary to the better administration of justice. "The possession of rifles to be allowed on the obtaining of license. "The military administration at the earliest possible date to be succeeded by a civic government. As soon as circumstances permit representative institutions leading up to self government to be introduced." The question of granting franchise to rebels will not be decided until after the introduction of self government. No especial tax to be imposed on landed property to pay the expenses of the war. As soon as possible a commission on which the local inhabitants shall be represented, shall be appointed in each district under the presidency of a magistrate for purposes of restoring the people to their homes and supply those, who, owing to war losses, are unable to do so themselves, with food and shelter, and a necessary amount of seed, stock, implements, etc., for the resumption of their normal occupations. For this purpose the government will place in the hands of the commissioners three million pounds sterling, and will also allow all notes under the law of 1900 of the South African Republic and all receipts given by officers in the field to be presented to a judicial commission, who, if they find they were given for a valuable consideration, will honor them. In addition to the grant of £3,000,000 the government will be prepared to make advances on a loan free of interest for two years. Roberts on Kitchener. London, June 3.—Field Marshal Earl Roberts, speaking at a military luncheon at Althorp, yesterday, paid a graceful tribute to Lord Kitchener. Earl Roberts said: "The country ought to be grateful to Lord Kitchener and to the army for what they have achieved. When Lord Kitchener assumed command things were in a critical state, and he has accomplished what no other man could have done." TOLD OF ROYALTY. Emperor William has declared that hereafter no statue of his grandfather shall be erected in Germany unless it bears an inscription alluding to the dead emperor as "William the Great." King Christian IX. of Denmark, who recently completed his 82d year, was one of ten children, all but two of whom lived to be over 60. His sister, the dowager duchess of Anhalt-Bemburg, is 91 years old, and he has two brothers living, aged 78 and 77 years respectively. Prince Stourdza made a sensational entry the other day into Pau on his automobile. Mounted on the seat behind him was a five-year-old bear wearing a chauffeur's cap and holding a huge pipe in his mouth. This animal had been shot by the prince near Gubus, 20 miles distant from Pau, early in the morning. Though but three years younger than her husband, Queen Alexandra of England would easily pass for his daughter, and King Edward does not look very old at that. Alexandra came of parents who long retained their juvenility, while his majesty's mother and father were forced by pressing state and family cares to take an early leave of youth. A story is going the rounds that King Edward, when examining some children in a village school, asked them about the great things kings and queens have done. "And what great things has King Edward done?" he asked a little boy. "I don't know, sir," stammered the pupil. "Don't be distressed," said his majesty. "I don't know, either." This story has been told of King Frederick William of Prussia, Emperor Joseph of Austria and King Christian of Denmark, but it has always been a fairly good yarn. George Fitzgeorge, a reputable and prosperous newsdealer of Trenton, N. J., claims to be a cousin of King Edward, though he does not propose to make any use of the relationship and seeks no notoriety because of it. Mr. Fitzgeorge says he is directly descended from the morganatic marriage of George IV. to Mrs. Fitzgeorge. Proof of this fact was long in the Trenton newsdealer's family, one member of which destroyed it, however, being unwilling that the record of that morganatic marriage should be preserved.

A review of reports from all parts of the country shows that the last few months have been unusually active in the building trades. A Danish inventor has discovered a method of making artificial marble of such delicate transitions of tint that it is impossible to distinguish it from the natural product.

Pride makes some people ridiculous and prevents others from becoming so. A CURE FOR DROPSY. Ashley, North Dakota, June 2nd.—J. H. Hanson of this place has found a cure for Dropsy. For years Mr. Hanson himself has suffered with Rheumatism of the Heart and Dropsy, and of late has been so bad that he could not work. He has tried many remedies but nothing he could get helped him in the least and he was growing worse and worse. Finally he began a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and to his great delight he soon found that the Dropsical Swelling was gradually going down and that the Rheumatism of the Heart was also disappearing. He says: "I have taken seven boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and am feeling better than I have for five years. "I am able to work again and if the Dropsy or Heart Trouble ever comes back I will use Dodd's Kidney Pills at once." R Mrs. Annie McKay, Chaplain Sons of Temperance, 326 Spadina Ave., Toronto, Cured of Severe Female Troubles by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Being a mother of five children I have had experience with the general troubles of my sex. I was lacerated when one of my children was born and from that hour I date all my afflictions. I found that within a few months my health was impaired, I had female weakness and serious inflammation and frequent flooding. I became weak and dizzy but kept on my feet, dragging through my work without life or pleasure. A neighbor who had been helped by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound insisted that I take at least one bottle. I did so and felt so much better that I kept on the treatment. For seven months I used the Compound faithfully and gladly do I say it, health and strength are mine once more. I know how to value it now when it was so nearly lost, and I appreciate how great a debt I owe you. The few dollars I spent for the medicine cannot begin to pay what it was worth to me. Yours very truly, Mrs. ANNA McKAY, Chaplain Sons of Temperance." $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.

The fall campaign is row about to get started off in full blaze, and candidates from all parties are be ginning to feel their ways through. The political bosses are busy sizing up the future results, and some are weak enough to get around some of colored voters and phrasuade them to lay down and stay out of the present fight on the account of the affair this spring, some of the democratic politicians are busy telling them that the republican was the sole promoters of the citizens ticket, and that they did not want to be bothered with the Negro vote to gain an office. The fact is that scheme was put up and endorsed by democratic machine horses, in order that certain men may be retained, and to have a chance to split the republican forces in order to strengthen their party for this falls election, and are now telling the colored voter that the republican bosses did it all, and that they should vote against all of them this fall. True we fought the movement with all of our mite, but we did not fight because it endorsed by democrats are republicans, but because we did not like the method of electing public officers. The colored or party worker will [act very unwise in fighting any of county or town ship candidates for what a few --- bosses did this spring. The fight for county offices is now at hand and let no clever tongue sore head talker pervent you from supporting your friends, or from supporting those who is willing to give some of the spoils to the Negro. Get in the fight, look in our announcement column, and see who are the candidates who are soliciting your support, and if you find a man who will do more for the Negro by giving the Negroes such deputies; cleaksep or janitorship as he can fill with credit it, then pull off your coat and support him. Do not let the matter of what the democratic-republic bosses did in the spring election, stop you from supporting the republican ticket, in which your best friends are. About one dozen colored people went on the excursion to Kansas City, Thurspay, but were about one hundred who wanted to go, but from fact that a seperate car had been arranged for them, they stayed at home. The excursion was not as successful as the managers thought it would have been, for they had depended upon a full coach of colored people out of this city. Among those who went in this jimcrow car, were some of the characters who are causing such actions to be put in to effect by the white people. We noticed while the train were waiting for orders, several of the girls were making a lot of unbecoming noise and drinking whiskey before they had left town, now it is these kind of people, who we say should not be allow on any man's train, and when one gets on and does not show any respect for themselves or the people around them, he or she, white or black, should be put off of the train. The general public most not class all of the Negroes of this city, the same as these, because, we are proud to say that we have people in our midst, though they skin be dark, yet they are as manly and respectful as any other people under the the sur, one land, sea or trains. The actions shown here on last Thursday plainly shown to the Sedalla excursionist that the respectable class of colored people in this city-are not in harmony with any jimcrow carism, and will coall they can, and what they can against such movement. We call special attention to the announcement of Judge David Kinsey, who is a candidate for renomination fop Justice of the Peace, found elsewhere in this paper. Judge Kinsey has held the office of Justice of the Peace in the City of Sedalia for nearly four years, during which time he has served the people faithfully and well, and no officer in Pettis county has attended more closely to the duties of his office, or been more faithful to the trust reposed in him. He has transacted more than half of all the civil and criminal business does in the Justice Courts of Sedalia Township and no just word of complaint or criticism can be spoken against him as an official. Judge Kinsey is a man of most excellent judgement and unquestioned honesty and in every way thoroughly equipped to fill the office of Justice of the Peace; at all times perfectly fair and just, treating attorneys, officers and litigants with due courtesy, yet, he is firm and dignified in all his rulings. Judge Kinsey has made one of the best Justices of the Peace Sedalia Township has ever had and having given full satisfaction to the Republican party he is entitled to be unanimous THE TRAIN TRY IT.

Clarke, of Lincoln Institute, and other educator of the state, a summer normal school has been planned for the Negro teachers of Missouri and we trust that it will be well attended. If the Negro teachers show that they appreciate such a school by attending the same there will, no doubt, be a liberal appropriation made at the next general assembly to make it a permanent institution. A summer normal properly conducted will do much to improve the Negro school in Missouri. The Negro Teachers' Institutes are and have been ever since they were established, in a measure, failures, and in many instances, hinderances to the course of Negro education. Many teachers do not attend the Institute because it is simply a loss of time and money while much good in the way of improving one's scholarsnip can be derived from a summer school of several weeks.

In his parting address to the ezar the French president said of the friendship between the sailors of Russia and France: “Whether in the extreme eastern seas, in the Mediter- ranean or elsewhere, their fraternity evidences the union of their coun- tries.” Reading between the lines diplomatists will find in these words a veiled threat of joint French and Russian proceedings against Turkey.

Heavy Rains Cause Damage in Some See tlont—General Condition of fate Sesion, Columbia, Mo., June 3.—Unite¢ States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the: weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending June 2, 1902, says: The week just closed averaged somewhat cooler than usual through- out the state, with less than the nor mal amount of sunshine in the cen- tral and southern sections. Light frost occurred on low ground in ar few localities on May 28, but did no damage. The precipitation of the week, up to Saturday, exceeded one inch over many of the central and nearly all of the southern counties, but in the northern section it was generally light. During Saturday af- ternoon and night, however, very heavy rains fell in some localities, washing rolling land and overflowing the smaller streams. Considerable damage was also done in a few local- ities by hail. In a few of the east central counties growing crops have suffered somewhat from lack of moisture, and the nights have been too cool for the rapid growth of corn, but on the whole the weather condi- tions of the week have been very fa- vorable, In many of the central and western counties the ground has been too wet for cultivation and in some districts ‘corn is becoming quite foul, but in most sections it is in good condition and making satisfactory progress. Much of it has been cultivated the second and third time, and in the southern counties some has been laid by. Planting and replanting is about completed. There is considerable complaint that wheat is lodging on rich land in the central and southern sections, and in some localities it has been beaten down to some extent by the heavy rains. There is also some com- plaint of fly in a few of the south- western counties, and rust is report- ed in many localities in the south- west section, but on the whole the crop still continues unusually prom- ising. It is well headed and reports indicate that it is filling well. The earliest is now turning in the south- ern counties and harvest will com- mence within ten days. Oats continue in good condition, as a rule, though rust is reported in 4 few localities. Meadows have improved considera- bly during the week but many of the old meadows are full of weeds and cheat. Some clover and alfalfa have been cut, and some has been damaged by the rains. Cotton, in the southeastern coun- ties, is generally well worked out and growing finely, as are also melons, and flax is doing well in the southwestern counties, Early potatoes are now coming in- to market and a large yield is ingi- cated. Pastures are making a fine growth. Garden vegetables are also grow- ing finely. Apples are dropping badly in many sections. Peaches continue very promising in most of the extreme southern coun- ties, and are reported unusually large for this season. A. E. HACKETT, Baction ‘tiemeton. RECEIVER APPOINTED.

For three years and one-half there has been wagion in South Africa a war, the cause of which scarcely one person in ten could in t elegently guess at, so completely has the cause been swallowed up in the din of conflict. Even those directly responsible for the struggle; those who were most intimately connected with the diplomacy—or shall we say rather a deplorable lack of diplomacy—that immediately preceded Gen. Roberts. it, could scarcely give reasons for the war that would be acceptable to both sides. The writer does not pretend to be able to decipher a series of causes that might be offered without fear of being accused of partiality; he, like millions of other readers of current history, as it is recorded day after day in the newspapers of every civilized land, is familiar with the claims made by both sides, but out of these claims he does not intend to even attempt to unravel the real cause of armed conflict between the Britian and Boer in South Africa. When time has healed the wounds of the present time has needed the some close student of history, blessed with an ability to delve beneath the surface of things, may be able to offer a series of reasons that will be acceptable to a posteriority through whose veins will not run the heated blood of conflict. That time is not now. P. R. As we glory in the coming of peace, even coming of peace, even Gen. Joubert. though the end may not be just to our liking, it is enough that we go back through the more than three years of the war's history and recall some of the battles, the deeds of daring and bravery, the skilled generalship of leaders on both sides that have marked this conflict, now closed, as one of the memorable struggles of the past quarter of a century and more. The real opening of the war may be said to have been October 9, 1890; at which time President Kruger sent to England the peremptory demand that that nation return a satisfactory answer to the demands of the South African republic on or before 5'clock p. m., October 11, and that failure so would be regarded as a formal declaration of war. These demands included the acknowledgement of the complete sovereignty of the South African republic as an international power, and the withdrawal of all British troops near its borders. All South Africa knew and the world knew that England would not accept such terms and prepared for war, and the preparations of the Boer troops for attack began immediately. Military expeditions from the Transvaal, and others from their ally, the Withdrawal of all British troops near its borders. All South Africa knew and the world knew that England would not accept such terms and prepared for war, and the preparations of the Boer troops for attack began immediately. Military expeditions from the Transvaal, and others from their ally, the Orange Free State, crossed the undefended borders of English territory, prepared to strike quick and decisive blows if possible before England could prepare for the conflict. The Boers were by no means unprepared for such a conflict. The heavy revenue derived by the government for a number of years previously had been judiciously expended for defense, and they had stored away at Pretoria guns that were far superior to anything that England could use against them for a considerable time after the opening of hostilities. Their army was composed almost wholly of volunteers, but they were volunteers who were well trained in fighting methods of their own, methods of which England knew but little, and was not prepared to meet. The armed strength of England in South Africa was at that time some 23,000 men of all branches, of whom some 13,000 comprised the force of Gen. Sir George White in Natal, and the others were scattered in small commands at different points in Cape Colony, the garrisons extending as far north as Maakeking which Col., afterward Gen., Baden Powel was defending with a force of 1,200 men. Gen. Petrus Jacobus Joubert, the hero of Majuba Hill and vice president of the South African republic, was selected as commander-in-chief of the allied armies of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, and at once took personal command of the troops that invaded Natal and shut Gen. White up in Ladysmith. In less than 24 hours after the actual beginning of the war as dated from the expiration from the time allowed in the Boer ultimat- um, the British were placed at a disadvantage from which they number of weeks and did not recover for a without the loss of a large number of men and munitions of war. A. B. B. The number of troops with which Gen. Joubert had accomplished this coupe will probably not be known soon. In South Korea. known soon. In Gen. Cronje. South Africa it was generally estimated that the two republics had been able to place in the field an army of 35,000 to 50,000 men, though Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic agent of the Transvaal in Europe, claimed that they had not less than 100,000 men under arms. ```markdown ``` The first battle of the war was fought at Glencoe, Natal, October 20, 1899, when the Boers were defeated and their position captured by Gen. William Penn Symons, who paid for his victory with his own life, and the loss of some 43 men killed and 200 wounded. This was followed the following day with a battle at Elaandsa lagtage, in which Gen. French commanded the English troops and Gen. Kock the Boers. The Boers were defeated with a loss of 100 killed and 300 prisoners, among the killed being Gen. Kock. The British loss was 42 killed. But brilliant as were these English victories they had but little result other than opening a means of retreat to Ladysmith, where Gen. White's entire force was rapidly concentrated. Gen. Buller. mobilizing of Gen. White's force at Ladysmith practically the whole of the British force in South Africa was besieged in three places, and England realized that the subjugation of the burghers meant more than a holiday parade of her troops. The home government began immediate preparations for the sending of large reinforcements, and Gen. Sir Redvers Buller was assigned to chief command. He undertook the relief of Ladysmith and assigned to Gen. Lord Methuen the task of raising the siege at Kimberly. Additional levies of troops to the number of 13,000 were poured into Durban, Natal, and with these Gen. Buller attempted the relief of Ladysmith, the garrison at which place was being hard pressed by the Boers, who were determined to force a surrender before assistance could come to the besieged town. It was on December 15 that Gen. Buller began the advance which ended temporarily with the disaster to British arms at the Tugela river, in which the British lost 82 men killed, 667 wounded and 348 missing. This battle, the first fought by Buller in South Africa, resulted in the loss of his reputation as a strategist and JOHN H. BURKE loss of his reputation Gen. Steyn. as a strategist and the appointment of Lord Roberts to succeed him as chief in command. Gen. Buller was left, however, in command of the Ladysmith relief expedition, and after three failures succeeded in accomplishing that purpose on March 1, 1900. While Gen. Buller was meeting with de- feat along the Tugela, Gen. Methuen was making but little if any advance toward the relief of Kimberly. He was opposed by Gen. Cronje. He suffered a serious reverse at Magersfontein, on December 12, and was forced to fall back to the Modder river with a loss of about 1,000 out of 13,000 he had engaged. In this battle the Gordon Highlanders lost nearly 700 officers and men in a vain attempt to carry the Boer position. On December 10 Gen. Gatacre attempted a surprise on the Boer troops at Stromberg. in the north of Cape Colony, but failed after losing more than 500 men who were made prisoners by the Boers. 10 Such was virtually the condition of the British forces when Gen. Roberts and Gen. Kitchener, his chief of staff, landed at Cape Town on January 10, 1900. The Gen. White.uary 10, 1900. The new commander-in-chief left Buller to retrieve his fallen fortunes in Natal and took personal command of the reinforced army operating against Gen. Cronje in Cape Colony. The arrival of Roberts seemingly marked a turning point in the war. On January 24 Gen. Warren took Spion Kop, though it was later abandoned and Buller's army again retreated across the Tugela. By February 14 Roberts had pushed his army across the borders of the Orange Free State, and the following day Gen. French relieved Kimberly. On February 27 Gen. Cronje surrendered with 4,000 men at Paardeberg, and by March 13 the unchecked English advance had captured and occupied Bloemfontein, the Orange Free State capital. It was on March 27, 1900, that the Boers suffered the serious loss of Gen. Joubert, who died at Pretoria. At his death the burghers lost one of their most skilled leaders, a man whose judgement every officer and private of the Boer army trusted implicitly, and who, had he lived, would undoubtably have done much toward bringing about, if not a different termination to the conflict, a much more dearly bought victory for England. F. C. C. victory for England. Gen. Dewet. could such a thing have been possible. After the capture and occupation of Bloemfontein Gen. Roberts moved his army toward Pretoria at a rapid pace. Occasional Boer victories were reported, such as that at Sanna's post on March 30, when Col. Broadwood's forces were routed with a loss of seven guns, and the disaster at Reddersburg the following day, which resulted in the loss of 500 English troops, but in the main the British were successful and the war office at London and the English people began to feel that the war was about over. They could not at that time see another two years and more of fighting them. On April 5 Gen. Methuen retrieved a part of the laurels he and lost in the earlier part of the struggle by the capture of a considerable Boer force at Boshof. This was followed on April 9 by a Boer defeat at Wepener, another on April 11 at Fort Abram, another at Dewetsdorp on April 20, again at Windsorton on May 5 and at the town of Mafeking on May 13. M. On May 20, the welcome news was cabled to England that the Gen. Baden-Powell. come news wascailed to England that the siege of Mafeking had been raised. For more than 200 days Col. Baden Powell's little force had defended the place against heavy odds, and the whole population had suffered terrible privations, but they held out until the long expected relief had reached them, and the whole garrison were crowned with the victor's laurels by heroloving England. On May 24 the British troops under Roberts crossed the Vaal river, and on the 30th marched into the golden town of Johannesburg, where they received a warm welcome from the uitlanders, who had expected to witness the destruction of their property before they should be allowed to fall into the hands of the English. On the same day that Lord Roberts entered Johannesberg he issued the proclamation that made an English crown colony of the Orange Free State. Four days later he was in the Boer capital at Pretoria, and now, thought England, the war must speedily en Gen. Botha. Gen. Roberts had now carried the war into the very heart of the enemy's country, and, with the exception of a number of raids into Cape Colony by the Boers, it has remained there. But the war was not over. England's rising huzzahs at British victories were tempered by news of British defeats. Roberts pushed active operations against the enemy in the eastern Transvaal, and on September 20, eight days after President Krueger had entered Portuguese territory, he reported to London the capturing and dispersion of the remnant of the Boer army in that section of the republic. True the enemy was scattered, but they were neither killed nor captured, and then began the long guerilla warfare that continued down to the day peace was declared, and which brought many defeats and heavy losses to British arms, even though it has eventually resulted in a British victory that places all of South African territory under the English crown. Gen. French. On September 1 Gen. Roberts had issued a proclamation annexing the Transvaal to the British domains. He continued in supreme command until November 30, 1900, when he turned over the command to Gen. Kitchener and prepared to return to England. He can scarcely have realized the task he was leaving to the fearless officer whose laurels had been won on the battlefields of Egypt, and who, as chief of staff had done so much toward the success so far attained by English arms in the South African conflict. His training was of the kind that gave him a special fitness for the work of meeting the guerilla tactics to which the Boers restorted as the only means left them to continue the struggle. While large numbers of Boers were surrendering to the English authorities there were yet in the field such intrepid commanders as De Wet, Botha, Steyn, Delaray, Schalk-Burger and others, and each of them had a sufficient following to enable them to defy either capture or annihilation. All through the year 1901 they forced upon England a conflict that kept a steady demand for fresh troops and war munitions pouring into the war office at London, a demand that England seemed more willing than able to had a sufficient following to enable them to defy either capture or annihilation. All through the year 1901 they forced upon England a conflict that kept a steady demand for fresh troops and war munitions pouring into the war office at London, a demand that England seemed more willing than able to meet. Early in the year it was estimated that there were not more than 14,000 Boer troops still in the field, but these afforded occupation for all the vast English army, and still they could not capture or disperse effectively the wily leaders or their bands. Gen. Schalk-Burger. The year brought with it such incidents as the capture of Modderfontein by the Boers on February 3, three days after which 30,000 fresh troops left England to reinforce the army in South Africa. On April 10 the English heart was made glad by the opening of peace negotiations by Gen. Botha, but they amounted to nothing, and the war went on with varying success on either side. The heavy losses seemed to fall to the English, for the reason, probably, that they were the only one of two contending forces in a position to suffer a heavy loss. Boer commandees were occasionally captured or dispersed, but they were of small numbers and the incident was soon for- Gen. Methuen. MILITARISTA Gen. Methuen. dent was soon forgotten. Other Beer victories of the year were the capture of Plummer's supply train on May 25; the almost complete destruction of the Seventh Yeomanry by Delarey on May 29; the capture of 200 Victorian Rifles on June 12, and the loss by Col. Benson of 25 officers and 250 men on November 1. During this time, however, Gen. Kitchener had not been idle. His army had been pushing the Beer forces almost constantly; he had been rapidly extending the line of block houses that marked the permanent English advance, and while the record of the year showed some brilliant coupes on the part of the Boer generals they were of the kind that could result in no lasting benefit to the Boer cause, other than the inspiring of fresh vigor and hope to the contestants. A. H. B. The victory of Gen. Delarey over Gen. Methuen on March 8 of this year was follower on April 11 by peace overtures, and is supposed to have had a considerable influ- considerable influence in prompting the peace terms offered by England. It was one of the most brilliant dashes of the war, and if it did nothing more it showed the London government that the war might be almost indefinitely prolonged if the Boer forces in the field could not be induced to accept terms of peace, and that they would not accept the terms of "unconditional surrender." WRIGHT A. PATTerson. OOM PAUL KRUGER. Something of His Life and Work in South Africa. President Kruger, he who figured more prominently in the early part of this war that England declares is now over than any other one man, is a product of the hardy conditions that surrounded pioneer life on the South African veldt. He seems to have been born a leader of men. Unlike the majority of the Transvaal and Free State burgers, who are of Holland ancestry, he is of German descent, his ancestors emigrating from the Potsdam district of Germany to South Africa in 1713. Oom Paul was born in Colesburg, Cape Colony, October 10, 1825. At the age of ten years he migrated with his parents from the place of his birth to the then unknown interior. In this new country his military life began at the age of 15, when he served in the wars with the Zulus as a field cornet in the Dutch army. In 1848 he took his place beside his father in the conflict with the British at the battle of Boomplaats. When the British advance made further occupation of this territory objectionable PRESIDENT KRUGER. to the Boers he became one of the leaders of the "trekkers" who moved to the Transvaal country. By 1861 he had risen in military rank until he was commander in chief of the Boer army in the conflicts with the savage natives, a position which he retained until 1877, when England annexed the country to Cape Colony. During the war for independence, which virtually began and ended at Majuba Hill, he served as vice president of the triumvirate which governed the country. In 1883 he was elected to the presidency of the republic, and was thrice reelected, holding the position so long as his land which he had helped to build remained an independent nation, though for the past two years he has been forced to reside in Europe, his advanced age precluding the possibility of his taking any part in the active military campaign. In his younger days he was a great hunter, and during the long trekking trip, from Cape Colony to the Transvaal he is credited with having killed no less than 250 lions. His strong personality will live for many years in the hearts of his countrymen, and to them he will ever be "the grand old man of South Africa." AMERICANS IN SOUTH AFRICA At the Forefront of Great Industrial and Mining Enterprises. The people of this nation have more than a sentimental interest in practically all that pertains to South Africa. In addition to our rapidly increasing commerce with the different English colonies there, including the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, there is the interest that attaches to the large number of Americans who are in the country and assisting in the development of its resources. Mr. Howard C. Hilleagas, in his book entitled "Oom Paul's People," pays the following tribute to these Americans in South Africa: "However great the commercial interests of the United States in South Africa, they are small in comparison with the work of individual Americans, who have been active in the development of that country during the last quarter of a century. Whatever great enterprises have been made and identified with their growth and development, and in not a few instances has the success of the ventures been wholly due to American leadership. European capital is the foundation of all the great South African institutions, but is to American skill that almost all of them owe the success which they have attained. "British and continental capitalists have recognized the superiority of American methods by intrusting the management of almost all large mine and industry to who were born and received their training in the United States. It is an expression not infrequently heard when the success of a South African enterprise is being discussed: who is it? Yankee. The reason of this is the involved act that till the Americans who went to South Africa after the discovery of gold had been well fitted by their experiences in the California and Colorado mining fields for the work which they did. And owing to their ability, were able to compete successfully with the men from other countries who were not so skilled." Orange Free State Population. The area of the Orange Free State is 47,732, and the population is given at 77,118 whites, 40,571 males and 37,145 females. Of this total 51,910 were born in the Free State and 21,116 in Cape Colony. In addition to the whites there are 129,787 natives. THE BOER WAR IS ENDED. The Peace Conditions Signed by Boer and British Representatives Saturday. GEN. KITCHENER'S OFFICIAL DISPATCH. The Sunday Evening Calm of London Broken by Enthusiastic Demonstrations of Joy Over the Peace News--Thanksgiving Offered and Special Hymns Sung In the Churches. London, June 1.—An official cablegram from Lord 'Kitehener, dated Pretoria, Saturday, May 31, 11:15 p.m., says: "A document containing terms of surrender was signed here this evening at half-past ten o'clock by all the Boer representatives, as well as by Lord Milner (the British high commissioner in south Africa) and myself." The news of peace in south Africa contained in the foregoing dispatch from Lord Kitchener, was not expected in London to-day. Soon after the receipt of the dispatch, however, the news spread to the clubs and hotels, and was received with much enthusiasm. The church bells were rung to acclaim the good news. A crowd gathered at the Mansion house, and the lord mayor of London, Sir Joseph C. Dimsdale, announced from the balcony that terms of surrender had been signed in south Africa. Lord Kitchener's definite announcement of peace was received at the war office at one o'clock in the afternoon, and was communicated to King Edward and all the members of the cabinet before it was given to the public. To-night the Sunday evening calm of London streets was broken by enthusiastic singing, shouting and horn blowing. The hotels, the clubs, the public houses and the streets were not the only places where the people were actively demonstrating their joy. The peace news was announced in the churches to-day, and by some congregations it was received with applause. In all the churches of London prayers of thanksgiving were offered and special hymns were sung. Proclamation at Pretoria Pretoria, June 1.—A proclamation which was issued yesterday in connection with the signing of the peace terms last night, declares that notwithstanding the proclamations of Mr. Kruger that interest on the bonds of the Transvaal republic would be suspended so long as the war lasted, such interest shall begin to accrue June 1. June 26 and June 27, the days of King Edward's coronation, have been proclaimed public holidays here. JOY AT THE BRITISH EMBASSY. Satisfaction Felt at the Close of the Long Struggle. Washington, June 2.—The officials of the British embassy here share the jubilant feeling existing in London over the termination of the war in south Africa. They view with much satisfaction the close of the long struggle. Official notice of the signing of the terms of surrender came to Mr. Ralkes, the British charge here, in a cablegram from the foreign office. It was very brief and was in accord with the statements contained in the press dispatches. It probably will be communicated formally to the United States government to-day. Nothing official has reached the department on the subject from Ambassador Choate, at London, or from any other source. President Roosevelt was furnished a copy of the Associated Press dispatch giving the news of the signing of the surrender terms. The impression prevails in official circles that the terms of surrender named by the British in their negotiations with the Boers have been very liberal in character, perhaps from the double desire to bring the war to a close and to have this happy event formally proclaimed before the coronation of King Edward in June. From a commercial point of view the cessation of hostilities will result beneficially to American exports to south Africa, the reports issued from time to time by the foreign commerce bureau of the state department showing that, they have suffered considerably since the beginning of the war two years ago. With Demonstrations of Joy. Ottawa, Ont., June 2.—The peace news from south Africa was greeted here by demonstrations of joy. The bell in the city hall was rung for ten minutes. The mayor has arranged for a demonstration to-day to celebrate the ending of the war. Flags will be hoisted on public and private buildings, a royal salute will be fired at noon, and the school children will be given a half holiday. At night there will be a display of fireworks and a military parade. FREE TO ALL! TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF THE WORLD: Be not deceived by loud advertisements that promise much and accomplish little.

From Infancy To Age BABY WOMAN WOMAN WOMAN Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective remedy for children because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because its tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent cathatics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. My baby is 4 months old and is teething. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through to relieve him. When I was asked it was getting worse, I stopped giving him his medicine, as he could keep nothing else with him. I was treated with colony medicine, and used to scream when he had it. I did not know what it was to close my eye day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. It to him a few times, and it worked with a clam, and my eyes pretty fair all night. He is a great deal better than my other babies. It would give nothing else to their sick babies." MUS. MARY DALEY, 597 First Street, South Boston, Mass. Laxakola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been found invaluable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause. To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure.

March 28, "Bottle came safe, did me a bit of drugs, herd not keep it, so enclosed is 50c, please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good, want another at once." April 5th, "Enclosed is 50c for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done me much good." Laxakola for Old Folks. In the Autumn and Winter of Life, when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best adapted to that purpose. So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properly and the liver and kidneys are active and strong, your food is assimilated properly, your blood is kept pure and rich, and your nerves are strong. The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up. That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system in a condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy. Laxakola Does It.

This is the time you need such a great nerve and stomach builder as Blotched, sallow, unwholesome and muddy skin, with its consequent mortification, often leading to morbid sedimentation and aversion to society and friends, and to the loss of the way to clear the complexion and restore it to its normal healthy, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system, purify the blood and remove the skin. LAXAKOLA FOR THE COMPLEXION gently moves the bowels and chus removes the cause, acts directly upon the liver and kidneys, keeping them active and strong, while its marvellous tonic properties clear the complexion, stimulate the liver, quicken the circulation, increase the flesh and brighten the eye; the nervousness speedily disappears and the entire system recuperates and tones up to a condition of perfect and permanent health.

Constitutions require a mild and efficient nerve and tonic, and is invaluable in assisting to relieve obstructions which otherwise would lead to more or less severe pain or illness. well as acting directly on the pores and assisting the perspiratory glands in throwing off impurities.

To Be Cured of Constibation People who suffer from habitual constipation with all its attendant clogs, clogged stomach and bowels, sluggish liver, heartburn, indigestion, and thin and impure blood, are too apt to believe that the only remedy is violent purgatives. Such cathartics are irritating and gripping, worse. There is a laxative that moves the bowels without pain or gripping, which impels the appetite, stimulates the liver, strengthens the nerves, and purifies the blood, while its marvelous tonic properties tone up the entire body. Its remarkable tonic properties reach every organ—the liver, kidneys and stomach, nerve, heart and brain—and removes the cause of debilitation by eliminating the same acts same time as a general tonic.
