Yet neither the present governor nor any one of the avowed candidates for that office has ever been suspected of boodling. The boodling question has become prominent in this contest for the reason that one of the candidates for nomination is running on his record as a prosecutor of corruptionists, and the other candidates in his party are representatives of the state machine under whose control and influence the dishonest or crimes which have scandalized the state flourished. But the hoolling was done by members of the legislature. It is in the election of a new legislature, therefore, that the greatest care should be taken to guard against personally dishonest candidates. It is a well known fact that in Missouri—and in other states as well—many men seek election to the legislature for the specific purpose of getting into a position where they can "hold up" and "bleed" corporations. When successful at the polls they go to the state capital with sandbags in their pockets, and lose no time in getting them into play. Bills are framed and introduced to hamper and embarrass large corporations, and are pressed with sufficient vigor to excite the concern of those whose interests are thus threatened. Ostensibly these sandbagging measures are presented in behalf of the people, and if they fail of passage their authors at least get credit for trying to do something for their constituents. These official footpads and highwaymen are the prime factors in the wounding that has currupted Missouri. In order to protect their properties and investments the corporations operating in the state feel compelled to make terms that are repugnant to their ideas of good business principle. They must pay theoodler his price or suffer the consequences in the form of harassing and injurious legislation. The heroic course, probably, is to refuse to compromise with the sandbaggers; but how many of us have the courage not to comply when the footpad commands us as the point of a pistol to throw up our hands? There is much righteous indignation expended upon the wicked corporations which "corrupt" and "debauch" our lawmakers. In some cases—as, for example, the operations of the baking powder trust, which sent agents into Missouri for the purpose of bribing the legislature to enact a measure that would give it a monoply of business in its line—corporations do corrupt lawmakers; but in the majority of cases it is the corrupt legislator who forces the corporation to become a bribe giver in self-defense. In the election of a new legislature in Missouri the personal record and standing of every candidate should be carefully scrutinized. The claims of any aspirant who would not be trusted by his neighbors with the management of their private interests ought to be repudiated. Oh the good old principle that prevention is better than cure, the best way to stop boodling at the state capital is to quit sending sandbagging secondrals there to represent the people. The administration of this remedy will necessitate a radical change in the present custom of permitting any Dick, Tom or Harry to go to the legislature who happens to have a "pull" with his party, regardless of personal character or fitness. Nogus Talks For Black Race King Menelik Says America Must Sympathize with Abyssinia. W. H. Ellis of New York, who has just returned from Abyssinia, whither he went in the interests of American commerce, is taking home with him two live lions—one for himself and the other, a special gift from King Menelik, to a New York man who has distinguished himself as a friend of the colored race. The necus regards the man in question, whose name Mr. Ellis refused to disclose, as God's personal ambassador, commissioned to redeem the black man's position in the world. "Meulis," said Mr. Ellis, "heard with admiration and wonder my plain narrative concerning the United States. What I said confirmed the results of his own study and caused him to beam with pleasure. He thinks that the development of American interests in Abyssinia will promote not only the commercial prosperity but also the political security of the empire, which, he realizes, is surrounded with dangerous ambitions. "America," said Menelik to Mr Ellis, "contains more black men than any other civilized land and must feel sympathy with Greater Ethiopia. Moreover, Ameri a is not aggressive, but generous. It permits black republics to exist when it might easily absorb them. It gave millions back to Ching of its own free will. It stands for political justice and commercial freedom." According to Mr. Ellis, American trade with Abysinia the first year after the conclusion of the treaty will reach $8,000,000, and in four years at least $55,000,000. He also stated that Menelik meant to secure a port on the Red sea the moment some strong power would reconize such action. Temporarily the empire is hand-locked. Americans there expect that this question of a gateway will eventually create alarming complications among the powers. —Ex. It is much easier to offer advice in regsad to a situation such as has been created in Kansas City by the regrettable murder of Roy Martin by a young Negro criminal, than to deal wisely and in a temperate way with the facts. While some allowance must be made for the strong prejudice against the blacks which the tragedy has aroused, it seems hardly fair to visit the resentment against Gregory on all of the Negro High School pupils in the town. To exclude them would not be awful, and to close the schools altogether would be clearly unjust to all of the pupils, white and black. The propriety, if not necessity, of separate schools is now demonstrated, but until that method of relief can be made effective it would seem to be part of wisdom for both the Negroce and the whites in Kansas City. Kans., to make the best of it, and to agree to such mutual concessions as may be necessary to avoid trouble and to conerve order and harmony—K. C. Star. Coronation of Jubilee Queens.

E. church with great enthusiasm. The 5th Inst. The day the pastor arrived with his family was a grand day. They were met at the station v members and friends of the church, from which place they were conveyed to the parsonage where everything had been set in order by the parsonage committee and members of the church. At high noon the dining room doors were thrown open and the pastor and family were invited in to one of the finest set dinners ever given any man. This did re-end the good time, for on he evening of the 15th a large crowd of persons of this church and community visited the parsonage and brought many good things for the comfort of Pastor and family. May God bless the good people of Fayette and may this christian storm arise and come again. The writer and his family are very grateful to all for the appreciation shown them. Rev. W. J.

It is rumored that Redmons white friends threatened to throw a little sand if he was not appointed. Now it remains to be seen if the change will better inforce the law or cater to a few friends Mrs A. Adams Henly, of Troy, Mo., who has been visiting in Kansas City, came in to visit her father, A. J. Adams for a fortnight, Mrs. Henley is accompanied by her three children, Ottowa, Junior and Virginia. The local organization of the Woman's Home Mission Society will be pleased to greet Mrs. Henly, since she is core ponding secretary and treasurer of this conference organization. Mrs. Henly will return home via st. Louis, the World's Fair City. Another brawl took place on Main St. Monday afternoon which resulted in a man's being severely but not seriously cut. And, as usual, not a peace officer could be seen while the was it hot, but got around an hour or so later. It is a fact beyond doubt that this element of citizens, both black and white, have more liberty than a tax payer. Very often one can see two or more laboring men stop for a chat on a street corner and an officer will side up near to them and bawl out "open the way there," which is alright if it were applied to the minor criminal class also, when just ter feet from him is a mob of "trash," and as is daily the scene, some woman or little girl dodging as a dog under horses' hoofs trying to get thru safely. As many men will testify, at times it is a task to get thru ce tar sections of this street without being exposed to a crossfire of nauseating language. Just East of Ohio on Main there, all day long, is more or less bad order by these debauched characters. If the streets are for the people, we think that these degenerates should be kept off of them that the people might have their free use.

SEDALIA. MISSOURL MY OWN. Just before the clock says bedtime There's a nightie on a chair. There's a baby growing sleepy. There's a head of tousled hair Snuggled up against my bosom. There is a crying cryy To stay open but it's bedtime. And my baby whispers: "Bye." "Bye," she says; she knows she's going Where the dandelion blossoms blow: "Bye," she says, but blinks and struggles. For she doesn't want to go; And she snuggles closer, closer. And her blue eyes softly half parted And her red lips smile half parted Like the petals of a rose. She's her daddy's compensation For all things. The world goes wrong. Comes an loving baby whisper And life breaks into a song! Comes the evening when the long day fading into care, All of trouble—worry leaves me When I see her tousled hair. Troubles and all worries leave me When I near my cottage door Where a glugham-aproned baby Stance on watch; and more and more, As her glad cry comes in greeting, In all trouble overthrowing Daughter of unconscious; Nights, I come into my own! -J. M. Lewis, in Houston Post. WHAT a 'eavenly sermon,' remarked Mrs. Gaskins, as she emerged from Ebenezer chapel into the rather sooty air of Southwark. "It would have moved a marble image," added Miss Carrie Gaskins, reproachfully eyeing her escort, Capt. Peter Warley. Capt. Warley bowed his head in dire compunction at his hardness of heart. He loved Miss Carrie most ardently, and had proposed to her five times, but, while she admitted he was not disagreeable to her, she declared that, until he had become a truly converted member of the Ebenezer fold, they could be nothing more than friends. "Hi could never, never think of marrying a worldly man," she had at divers times affirmed most positively. Capt. Warley had not the slightest objection to becoming a member of Ebenezer nor, indeed, to attaining that membership by the way of the old-fashioned emotional conversion; in fact, he sorcely envied those ladies of susceptibility and avoiddupois who both nimbly and vociferously proclaimed their joy at being loosened from their sins during the present revival at Ebenezer. Unfortunately, so rhinoceros-like was the hide of worldiness which invested the captain, that neither melting hymn nor denunciatory sermon brought him to the mourners' bench, and Capt. Warley was discouraged. "It's your 'ardened 'eart,'" said Miss Carrie, severely, as he hade her good-night. "I can't make the port," repiled the captain, wearily. "Many a good sailor can't just pass for a master's certificate." Miss Carrie shook her head disapprov "I'VE COME TO SAY GOOD-BY." ingly and waited a few moments on the steps to see if the worldly-minded Warley would dare attempt to kiss her, but that crushed mariner making no move towards such sacrilege, she went in the house abruptly. When Capt. Warley reached the collier misnamed the Venus, over which he exercised supreme command, he found the dingy cabin occupied by his friend Capt. Tennant. After an exchange of salutations, Capt. Tennant explained his errand. "I've brought my daughter down on this trip from Shields," he said, "and I've tickets for the theater-to-morrow night, but I can't go, as I have an engagement with some friends. Now, I would like you to take her. I want her to see some of Lunnon while she's here." Capt. Warley assented without thinking of consequences. He was glad to be of service to his friend, but after Tennant had departed the thought of Miss Gaskin's horror of a play house and the possibility of her hearing he had entered one fairly chilled him. His relations with his lady love were strained now, and if she heard of this plunge into sin— The north of England breeds some pretty girls, and Polly Tennant was of the fairest crop, hence Capt. Warley, despite his forebodings of evil to come, could not avoid a feeling of pride at being the escort of such a handsome girl, and it was this proud feeling that induced him to suggest a supper after the play. It was with a premonition of evil that Capt. Warley hled himself to Ebenezer chapel the next evening, and when, in 1. Toilette of black tulle with large velvet spots, cream lace frills and ruchings of black tulle. Wrap or heat silk. Gown of disproved crope de chine trimmed with white lace. Lent we remained faithful to this color. Now, of course, it is but natural that we should want a change. Blue is revived as well as green—bright emerald green and soft olive green. The latter I think, will take precedence. Royal blue had its day during the past winter and the favorite shade now is pervenche which is used for evening as well as day wear. return for his greeting, Miss Carrie nodded coldly and sailed on to her bench escorted by Brother Jimp, a lean, sanctified young man who admired Miss Gaskins hugely, he feared the smirch of the play house was visible on his forehead. There was a most eloquent sermon, and Capt. Warley fairly opened the pores of his skin to imbibe it. What a triumph it would be to walk up the aisle and shout forth his entrance among the elect. How it would discomfit Jimp; but, alas, bymns and sermons were as Saracen arrows against a cruader's armor, and he slunk back to his coal boat as far as ever from Ebenezer and Miss Carrie's favor. "I can't get over the bar," sighed the captain. "Now a craft like that Jimp, he calls in ebb or flow without scraping bottom." As the Venus was delayed in discharging cargo Capt. Warley spent the two following days idly despondent. He dared not visit Miss Carrie, and efforts at Ebenezer membership he felt were useless, hence Miss Polly Tennant tripping down the companion steps one morning found him gloomy. "I've come to say good-by," she said. "Pap sails this afternoon." "Sit down," said the captain, making an effort to appear cheerful, and Miss Polly chatted away merrily until the entrance was suddenly darkened and, to the horror of Capt. Warley. Miss Carrie Gaskins, her mother and Brother Jimp entered the cabin. Capt. Warley introduced his guests with the air of a man momentarily expecting a shock of earthquake, and when the young ladies began to talk he listened to their words with keen anxiety. "I've had a sweet time," said Miss Tennant. "The other evening Capt. Warley—" Here the captain was seized with a tempestuous fit of coughing. "Let me show you ladies over the boat," he said, desperately. "—took me to the theater," continued Miss Tennant," and afterwards we had a delightful supper. Quite dissipated, I assure you." Capt. Warley sunk back on a locker and gasped. Jimp's face darkened with repugnance to such a sinner, but Miss Carrie's countenance expressed anxiety. Miss Tennant was decidedly a pretty girl. When Capt. Warley assisted Miss Gaskins over the gangplank she said, softly: "If you are not too horcupied, Peter I'll be 'ome to-night." The captain's heart fluttered. Never before had her lips called him by his first name. Peter; it sounded like a promise of peace, or was it only one of those treacherous calms between the bursts of a hurricane? So genial was the manner of Mrs. Gaskins and her daughter when the captain called that night that he felt doubtful test Ebenezer might have converted him to its fold without his knowledge. Some bold men of the sea, noting the softened demeanor of Miss Carrie, might have been more aggressive than Capt. Warley, but he, dispirited by a long chain of failures, arose to depart without taking advantage of the prevailing fair breezes, when Miss Carrie spake: "I'm afraid I've been 'ard with you, Peter. "I dreamed you were sinking in the great hocean and saying I'd been 'ard on you," and Miss Carrie shed tears. Then Capt. Warley saw clear water, the shoals of Ebenecer, and Brother Jimp lay aabem, and his course was straight ahead. He placed his arm around Miss Carrie's waist and kissed her loudly. There were confused murmurs of "next May," and "Polly Tennant shall be bridesmaid," after which Capt. Warley went to the Venus with the light bouyant step of the happy man. Two months after the wedding rumor sayeth that Capt. Warley and his wife were seen at the theater, hugely enjoying a vaudeville performance. RAIDING OF CAMEL HERDS "Rustlers" in Somaliand Sometimes Have Exciting Experiences — Long Runs at Full Gallop. "Rustling" is not a practice peculiar to the western frontier of the United States. In Somaliand there are adventurous spirits of a like sort, but camels instead of cattle are the booty they covet. Camels in Somaliand are kept in great herds sometimes numbering 30,000. Such numbers involve wide areas for grazing and consequent distances from the few places where water may be found. The ponies used by the Somali can also manage without drink for three or four days and when employed for herding have, like their masters, only camels' milk to quench their thirst. These big herds offer, of course, a tremendous temptation to the raider, as many as 10,000 camels being taken at a time and the excitement of driving off such a herd at full gallop for 40 or 50 miles, with the exasperated owner possibly hard in pursuit and the chances of the raider finding his own camp has fallen a prey to some other tribal diversion, appeals irresistibly to the exeitable Somali. A Durable Pump. A remarkable instance of the durability of electric pumps is reported from South Africa, where, in the mining districts, electricity and compressed air are fighting for supremacy. It was after the cessation of hostilities that the two shafts of the Knights Deep mine were found to be flooded out. The plant and other apparatus had been left just as they were before the war broke out, and the electric pumps and cables which were used at the mine had been under water for quite two and one-half years. Notwithstanding, the motors were brought out, dried and set to work again. The firm who supplied the motors is not mentioned, but their name deserves to be placed on record. Summer Modes of Paris Dorothy C. Cushman SEASONABLE EVENING GOWNS ARIS—In the matter of color we have not yet tired of brown, the brown which melts into yellow of many shades. Brown is becoming to so many, and, curiously enough, even in the period of All through the winter there has been a preference shown for sombre hues for street wear, and black and black and white have been much en evidence among our elegantes. But with brighter days will come the desire for brighter fabrics, though for some time longer I fancy black chantilly over white will be a feature of the toilette de reception. A combination of cream lace and silver gray will also be much worn. Dead-white lace is quickly gaining favor, thought it is not so becoming as cream; in fact, in my opinion it is decidedly trying. We are using a great deal of embroidery over here, both of silk and linen; and the pastel cloth dresses are trimmed with quaint taffeta embroideries in many shades. Gold and silver are also introduced in trimmings, but very sparingly, except for the out-door wraps which show a tremedous quantity of gold and silver galon. Jet has been a great deal used for demi-toilettes, and black lace cutlined with velvet or chenille is still in favor. But the daintiest and newest trimmings are chiffon and taffeta roses, gold and silver leaves, and quaint pompadour wreaths. Fashion Frills and Fancies N ALL sides am I asked "What is the color?" To tell a woman to wear what suits her best is not the business of an authority on fashion, but I would say, "Out of the galaxy of beautiful shades which are permissible, choose the one which matches either your eyes or your hair, and shows them off to the best advantage." Ivory white and pale brown, the latter shade known as champagne, and sometimes the palest yellows, as well as the always popular gray, are useful, warm colors. They take the foremost place in fashions for the summer. The great authorities both in Paris and New York declare that soft sage greens will be de rigueur, as well as blues of all kinds. I have also seen dark shades of emerald green in some beautiful Paris frocks, not so much alone as used in conjunction with champagne tints. Then there is the vivid periwinkle blue—a little softer shade, however, than the Rickett's hue, which has been so much used in Paris. I predict that there will be a fancy for checks as the season advances, but for those of a neat pattern only, after the order of the shepherd's plaid. The wearing of black is prevalent in taffetas, sole de Chine, chiffon volle, and such fabrics for afternoon and carriage wear. Jet, too, is used both for evening and reception toilettes. The new fabrics are really very alluring. Fine cloths in pastel shades always are a feature of April toilettes. Then we have snowflake tweeds, rough-surfaced, hairy materials, homespuns of English and Scotch manufacture, Irish friezes, hopsacks, patterned alpacas, coarse canvases, and fine fowles, as well as the usual crepe de Chine and sole de Chine, while we shall see a good deal of the new material—crepon de sole—in glorious colorings; eoliennes, poplins and silk mixtures, too, will be pressed into service. There will be a revival of muslins, P O For evening wear, after the regal and beautiful brocades and taffetas (the favorite shade being rose du Barry), we shall have the simple muslins and painted gauzes made up in quaint old-world styles with fuchsia and high sashes. Evening dresses are getting longer and fuller, and will be most elaborate, except for la jeune fille, when they are strikingly simple. The empire frock will be an evidence, and little Josephine coats, consisting entirely of embroidery, will be worn over plain brocades. For debutantes these coats are made of mousseline plissee. The deep, pointed, Marie Antoinette band will be a feature, and the high, folded sash, shaped and boned, will also be worn. Quaint puffed sleeves to the elbow will be noticeable on the light afternoon toilettes, as well as on the majority of those for evening wear. A charming costume in white cloth has a skirt cut just to clear the ground, cut up to show pleatings of the cloth, and edged with tiny gold buttons and flat white silk cords. The bolero is rather a full sac shape, adorned with buttons and cords and showing a wide swathed band of red and gold leather. Then for evening wear I have just seen a lovely creation in black moussine de soie, embroidered in jet in a very bold design, intermingled with black velvet, which has the necessary softening effect. The shirt is long and sweeping, and the bodice seems only to consist of a cross-over of the fabric, while the sleeves are composed of several narrow frills of old lace, caught with loops of black velvet ribbon. The early spring hats are entirely of straw, with roses and bows of straw, but as warmer days approach these will give place to silk and velvet roses and summer foliage. gauzes and all sorts of pretty, old-fashioned fabrics, especially for the debutante. Evening gowns will be rather magnificent; lace trains will be worn, and accordion-pleated chiffon will play an important part. For skirts for mourning wear, embroideries, both plain and colored, and Mary Cassatt A RECEPTION TOILETTE. Skirt of mousseuse de soie with finely embroidered flounces. Taffetas coat, fastened at the waist with painted buttons, very high, neat collars, will be en evidence. Spotted and patterned delaines, plain and embroidered flannels, canvases and silk mixtures will also be used for this useful garment. Under the new short boleros we shall wear very fine specimens of the batiste shirt with Valenciennes lace and insertions, or quaint muslin embroideries. ELLEN OSMOND ANNETTE GIVRY. [Portrait of a woman with a high hairstyle and a decorative headpiece, wearing a high-collared dress with intricate patterns.] Young women may avoid much sickness and pain, says Miss Alma Pratt, if they will only have faith in the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: — I feel it my duty to tell all young women how much Lydia E. Pinkham's wonderful Vegetable Compound has done for me. I was completely run down, unable to attend school, and did not care for any kind of society, but now I feel like a new person, and have gained seven pounds of flesh in three months. "I recommend it to all young women who suffer from female weakness." — Miss Alma Pratt, Holly, Mich. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO YOUNG GIRLS. All young girls at this period of life are earnestly invited to write Mrs. Pinkham for advice; she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women; her advice is freely and cheerfully given, and her address is Lynn, Mass. Judging from the letters she is receiving from so many young girls Mrs. Pinkham believes that our girls are often pushed altogether too near the limit of their endurance nowadays in our public schools and seminaries. Nothing is allowed to interfere with studies, the girl must be pushed to the front and graduated with honor; often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover the lost vitality,—often it is never recovered.
