Mr. Samuel Hanks, of Topeka, Kans., visited his daughter and son-in-law Mr. and Mrs. John White, last week. He departed for home Sunday evening over the Mo: P. The remarks made by a young man to Rev. R. Davis, of the M. E. church, upon which he expatiated Sunday night, is being confirmed, daily, and everywhere, by both black and white people. Those ignoramuses, who so readily made little of this man's view can see by the following that the complaint is becoming universal and obvious to true Christians. A white man, R. H. Smith, writing commendatory of the Chicago Conservator and its able editor, says: "I do not write in a malicious vein. Far be it from me to do so, but rather sincere sorrow that these things are true. An honest loyal, Christ-like man or woman cannot live long in our denominations of today. A short residence will find the climate so hot with hypocrisy that when he or she dare express a conviction in condemning such things they will be told to look for other quarters very quickly. No wonder a man of Dr. Wilkin's calibre 'has courageously denounced these innovations of the devil. Doubtless it has made him unpopular in some quarters, but he has also the satisfaction of that his conscience is clear, and that none, whether saint or sinner, can say to him, 'Thou Judas!' " The following, from the Clarion, a Southern publication, will be read with much interest by Sedalians, since the character is one of her noble sons. "Prof. A. Julius Williams who has dramatized 'Overshadowed' and will play the leading role, taught classes in elocution at A. and M. Colle, Normal, Ala., is very well and favorably known in a number of Southern states. He directed the production of East Lynne played before the Business League in this city last August. He has given a number of Readings from Shakespear in this and adjoining states on various occasions, and is the first and the only negro in this country who has dramatized a negro novel and directed the production of the same. Prof. Williams has played the title role of Shakespear's 'Othello' 'Richard III' and and others." NO COLOR LINE THERE Sometime ago a negro compostor from Alabama secured a place in a government printing office and recently was assigned to work in an "alley" in which a number of white men are employed. Some of these men, particularly. John W. Martin, of North Carolina, objected to the presence of the negro. Mr. Martin, seeing there a number of vacant frames, asked that he be transferred to another "alley." After waiting a few days, Martin saw that the foreman, D. J. Roberts, of Kansas, had no disposition to grant his request. He told the foreman that the situation was distasteful to him by reason of the presence of the negro. This failed to make any impression, where upon Martin took his grievance to O. J. Ricketts, chief of the entire printing department. Unsuccessful again, he applied to R. S. McNeill, secretary of the North Carolina Republican State Executive Committee. Mr. McNeill interviewed Mr. Rickettts and was informed that President Roosevelt had given instructions that negroes should in no case be discriminated against on accountof color, and that Mr. Martin would have to work right where he was. When Martin returned to the side of the negro, the foreman came to within hearing of the men and remarked that the negro was as good as any of them, and if anybody did not like the position he could leave. There was, said the foreman, a supply of resignation blanks always on hand on the desk. The negroes of the department are pleased over the outcome of the affair—San Francisco Examiner—Oregon Advocate. Rev. H. G. Gipson, pastor at Clinton, came to this city Wednesday to attend a meetin8 of the church extension board, and returned on the evening train.

OES Combine : : ; : SEDALIA. . . . . . . . . . MISSOURI. An Old Story in a New Dress. Two plous old deacons went walking one day, And danced to the meeting house went on their way; The bells were just calling the faithful to prayer, The their tones rolling out on the ambient air; The snow that was falling had changed That frogs as it fell on the hill and the plains! The trees were all loaded with ice covered stems. That gleamed in the light like the rarest of gems. All over the fields, around people's abodes. All over the walks and all over the roads. Was the glairstest coat; and the best of advice. Was: "Keep yourself off from that slippery ice." But the church bells were tolling, the deacons must go; So they went on their ice way, careful and slow. Discussing the weather, their neighbors and all. Till suddenly, Jones had a slip and a fall. His feet, out from under him, flew from the track And, quick as a flash, he fell flat on his back. Smith could not help smiling to see him go down And slight on his back with a grunt and a frown. Said Smith, as the smile spread all over his face: "The wicked man stands on a slippery place." Jones picked himself up and stood rubbing his head: "Yet as he does, deacon, but I can't," he said. —F. Hodgman, in Rural Advocate. A BROKEN PROMISE By ELENORA E. REBER SHE was leaning her arms on the table before her, with her face buried in her hands, when he entered the room. He did not know that she was there, else he would not have intruded. He was well into the room before he discovered her, and as she was still evidently unaware of his presence he stood quite still a moment, debating whether or not he had better retire as quietly as he had entered and leave her undisturbed, or make his presence known in the hackneyed way, by a forced cough, or some slight noise with hand or foot. O SHE WAS LEANING HER ARMS ON HER FACE. FACE IN HER HAND. SHE WAS LEANING HER ARMS ON THE TABLE BEFORE HER, HER FACE BURied IN HER HANDS. He decided on a retreat, but the fates decreed otherwise, for in turning, his foot accidentally touched a rocker which was within a hair's breadth of a book that occupied a precarious position on a table, and the movement of the chair back against it disturbed its equilibrium, and it fell to the floor with a muffled round on the carpet, that sounded like the crash of a falling wall to the two who heard it. She sprank to her feet. "I beg your pardon," said he, "I did not know that you were here." "Don't be alarmed, I won't be long," she replied. "No, judging from former occasions when we have accidentally met during the last three days you will probably find some trumped-up excuse for leaving what you seem to consider a very obnoxious presence." "As usual, one's purest motives are willfully misunderstood by those to whom only kindness is intended." "Mistaken kindness, then, Lois, for, as you know, or ought to know, your company is anything but undesired by me, as the past—oh, don't become frightened," he broke off, as she made a little deprecatory gesture. "I am not going to propose." "I beg your pardon, I thought you were," with a cool, exasperating tone and an aggravating lifting of the eyebrows. "I wish that we could be friends, though, for a little while, at least. This state of affairs is certainly unpleasant for both your brother and my sister, and to ourselves as well." "Your efforts at forgetting are praziestoworthy, I am sure, but they hardly seem successful. How can you expect more from me?" "You certainly have changed, Lois. You used to have some feeling, but the past three days you have been as uniformly unkind and mercilessly frank as one well could be. Because I cannot forget is no reason why I should spoil others' pleasures. If I had known you were to behere perhaps I would not have come." ```markdown ``` THE TWO DEACONS "Thank you. I am quite sure that I would have postponed my visit had I known that you were here, but since I understand so well how mutually disagreeable the arrangement is, I have decided to leave to-morrow, so you have not a long martyrdom to endure." So sudden a decision is probably attributable to 'important business,'" he said sarcastically. "No, all for your happiness," she responded, airily. "You are very kind," he replied formally. the pause with a sudden change of front, "How foolishly we have been talking, Lois. You must not think of going away and losing your vacation, and the rest you so much need, on my account. Jack would be awfully disappointed, for you know you are his favorite sister, and this is your first visit to his home since his marriage. And Mary, well, I know that she will guess the reason for your departure, and be as disappointed as your brother at the sudden termination of your visit—on account of her brother. Only this morning she was saying how she wished that you could stay all winter, and how it cheered her to have you here (you know she has not been very well lately). As for myself, I was foolish enough to hope that we might get back to our old friendly footing. I thought that it would depend on me, and that certainly you would not refer to that—must I say it—unfortunate occurrence. You seem determined that I shall not have the chance to forget, even if I would, and act as though I had committed a crime that I was likely to repeat at every opportunity. One grows used to disappointment, even though he may not be able to forget, and while your presence here has shown me how utterly I love you still—" She help up her hands and interrupted him with an exclamation of well-assumed alarm: "Jack, take care, if you go on talking that way and looking at me so, I shall surely think that you are going to propose again." "I promise you that I am not, though," he replied, patiently. "I was just about to say that even my love for you would hardly make me lay my heart at your feet when I know it would be trampled upon." "Hasn't it occurred to you that our being here and assuming such friendly relations as you desire might have a tendency to create false hopes in Mary's mind? I know she used to hope—I believe she prayed that you and I—that is, that things might turn out differently." "I wouldn't be surprised, for I used to do that myself." "Now, Jack, be careful; you know you said you wouldn't." "Who said I was going to?" "You look that way. I really think I will have to go to-morrow. Early. Poor fellow," she solloquized, "he don't know what his eyes say." "It won't be necessary for you to go to-morrow. I am going to-day." "You are going to-day!" she gasped. "How many minutes ago did you come to that decision?" "About five." "You have been here a week. I suppose you are fully rested from the past three years' vacationless work. I thought Mary said that the doctor ordered a three months' rest for you. I must have misunderstood her." "I don't need any more rest than you do," he replied. She ignored his remark and went on: "Then favorite brothers are not so greatly missed by their sisters when it has been only three years since they were together." He made no answer. "And of course no one would guess the real reason for your going so suddenly." She paused a moment, then in a different tone said: "I wonder if I were to ask it as a special favor to me, if you would stay." "Only on one condition." "And that is?" "That you stay, too." Her heart was beating in her throat. She knew that she could not keep up this acting much longer. Not a day had passed in all that long three years since she had said "No" to him the last time he had asked her to be his wife that she did not regret that answer. He had gone away and she had not seen him since until they met in her brother's home a few days ago, and she knew the moment her eyes met his that he loved her still, in spite of the long silence which she herself had commanded. Since then her bold bantering was, she felt sure, the only thing that kept him from falling at her feet, literally and figuratively. She was cruel, she knew it, and had little conscience smitten twangs every time she looked into his eyes and knew that it was in her power to fill them with the old glad, joyous light that had been there before she had driven it out. Why should she not use that power? Why did she violate her own feelings and pain him so continuously? Now there was a sickening wear in her heart that she had gone too far. He waited for her answer. She made a quick resolve. "If I stay will you promise not to propose to me once during the time?" "Yes, I promise." "Then I won't stay." He looked at her in amazement, hardly daring to believe his ears, then strode over to her, and standing close to her demanded: "Lois, what do you mean?" She lifted a flushed but happy face and looked bravely into his questioning eyes and said, "I mean just what I say, Jack." And he broke his promise then and there—Prairie Farmer. 'Twould Seem So.

Our couturieres are using the most wonderful colorings and designs, for it is impossible to produce the gorgeous evening dress of the Louis period without using suitable fabrics. The revival of taffetas, brocades and wonderful velves and satins leads to further extravagance in the matter of appropriate lace and embroideries. On Mary Cain A summer gown of black and white taffetas, trimmed with velvet and lace, all sides I hear that the jewelers vie with each other in the production of stones and dainty settings in keeping with the fashions of the moment. Of course, the most elegant monlaines over here show a certain semblance of simplicity despite the costliness of the fabrics employed. Yet the general idea appears to be that there is a great deal of bizarre dressing about, especially in the matter of colors. I doubt if some of the fashionable shades are really good. The olive greens and browns are very trying, and can only be dealt with successfully at the leading atellers. Rose du Barry is giving place to more faded tones, and certainly in hot weather these cannot be said to be more becoming. Then the furore for spots is quickly changing into a liking for checks, and inoffensive and indefinite as these were in the early part of the season, I fear they will shortly become vulgarized. Altogether, it is extremely difficult to know what to do! The milliners, too, are using the most peculiar colorings, and dull pink shades are rarely becoming on the head. Pale apple green mixed with black is rather a happy inspiration of the milliner of the moment, especially when adorned N EVERY side we hear that it is to be a linen season, and we surely have reason to hope that we shall get a summer when cottons, linens and muslins may have a fair innings. I think one linen indispensable and so is a flan- N EVERY side we hear that it is to be a linen season, and we surely have reason to hope that we shall get a summer when cottonts, linens and muslins may have a fair innings. I think one linen frock is indispensable and so is a flannel or delaine. Now, linens this year have surpassed themselves in the matter of color, texture and variety; we have plain linens, coarse linens, fine linens, linens profusely and finely embroidered, linens coarsely and sparingly embroidered, linens spotted, striped and patterned; in fact, linens of all kinds and in all shades. Linens nowadays may be treated in a variety of ways, from the linen coat and skirt to the elaborate toillete. Personally, I prefer the happy medium, for I do not think linens should be over-elaborate. To my mind, the prettiest of all are those with a little embroidery on the blouse and round the plaintroteuse skirt, worn with a leather band, a pretty colored scarf and a Breton sailor hat. This makes an ideal costume for the river. In the linen frock I see salvation for the girl on a very limited dress allowance, for it seldom looks better than in blouse and skirt form. Scarlet in my opinion is one of the prettiest colors for the country. If it suits the wearer; this is run very close, however, by ducks' egg blue, while white, of course, embroidered in scarlet (the favorite French linen frock) is a delightful combination. A rich deep cream is a favorite shade in coarse makes of linen, and there is a new purple shade which is very effective mixed with white. Many shades of blue, too, are worn, though I cannot remember having seen any very good navy blues. The old-fashioned butchers' blue is worn, embroidered in white, and in linon de soie there is a new shade of deep raspberry which is very much in vogue in Paris, but this fabric comes into the category of smarter frocks than the ordinary linens. It is good news that we have revived the wearing of cotton materials of an very inexpensive order, such as zephyr, batistes, etc. These form charmling frocks if treated with the same care as the linen; that is to say, with no elaboration, unless you can afford to go to a clever dressmaker. with huge cabbage roses, which are, however, produced in colors unknown in the cult of real flowers. Vivid violets, bright blues and odd mauves are much to the fore. There is a predominance of Panama used for summer hats, the crowns of some of these being high and square, while others are tall and conical with rather severe brims. The chief trimming is a wreath of roses and foliage with a wide chiffon veil hanging down the back, which can be drawn over the face if the wearer desires. This chiffon veil is slowly but surely ousting the lace veil from the pinnacle of fashion. Some of the muslin frocks here are the prettiest revivals of the eighteenth century. They are made up very simply, with full pleated skirts, chemisettes and fichus of embroidered lawn or muslin. With this style one somehow rather likes to see the 1880 bonnet or the bergere hat, but instead of these the newest thing worn is a kind of "marquise" shape in white panama, trimmed with wreaths of pompadour roses, clusters of green leaves and ribbon velvet. Millinery is extratordinarily beautiful at the moment, though it still continues to change. As quickly as one mode becomes popular so do the modistes bring out another. It is almost impossible to lay down hard and fast rules about hats. Everything seems to be worn, but no style lasts long, and one wonders what will be the next thing? Then the same applies to frocks, and I think the only modes the dressa- 19 Useful summer gown of Pilee-finished cloth, in sapphire blue, trimmed with wide bands of taffetas glace, and full ruffles of lace. makers wish to keep rather exclusive are the new designs in muslins. In taffeta I have seen some real old puce shades, which are very noticeable. For afternoon wear these are made with chemisettes and fichus of embroidered lawn. All the smart taffeta frocks seem to be made in 1830 fashion with pointed bodices and ruched skirts. which few of us can when it is a question of simple cotton frocks. Then delaine is produced in such good designs nowadays that one feels it should hardly come into the category of the country frock; but it still does so, being a very inexpensive fabric. Delaine is produced in navy blue with extremely good effect, which should be welcome news to the general public, for what is more universally becoming than a real, old-fashioned navy? I think it may be said that we have somewhat tired of spots, or will do so Boyd AN ATTRACTIVE LINEN GOWN. The trimming consists of stitched circles and stapping; cape and cuffs edged with narrow kitting. cre long, although there is a certain amount of smartness about them which would certainly make them hold their own until the end of the season. What a revival there is in favor of grass lawn. Tussore and lionn de sole of the same shade. These are all admirable dust-resisting fabrics and when smartly made up have a chic all their own. But, like Tussore, this color is not becoming. Grass lawn and taffeta are a favorite mixture for parsols, and some smart little frocks also are being made up in khaki, colored grass lawn with trappings and trimnings of white taffeta. ELLEN OSMONDE Collection of Instructive Hinta Which May Contain Something of Value. A new use for the tin mechanical toys sold on the streets and in the shops is suggested in a recent number of one of the household magazines. At a child's party the toys were raced by the small guests, a handsome silk pennant going to the child whose toy won. This might be made an amusing feature of a grown-up party, each guest bringing his own toy, and, of course, trying to select an especially rapid one. They might be raced for prizes, or partners, or tables, if the party included a progressive game of cards. The very absurdity of the proceeding would make it interesting, says the Boston Budget. Nuts are said to make a great improvement in chicken salad. A cup of English walnut meats to a cup of celery cubed and one of chicken also cut in cubes is the proper proportion. Tall, slender vases filled with flowers sometimes topple over with the uneven weight. It is a good plan to carefully drop a teaspoonful of fine shot into the bottom of the vase before filling it. Pebbles will answer the purpose equally will. The easiest and best way to clean a galvanized iron sink which has been more or less neglected, is to rub strong soap powder into every corner and over every inch of surface. Let it remain on for ten or 15 minutes, then with a stout brush go over the whole, dipping the brush into boiling water. When the sink is thoroughly scrubbed, polish it with kerosene, rubbing the oil into the iron and leaving no residue of grease behind. The kerosene prevents it from rusting after the strong soap powder and boiling water are used. Care must be taken that the painted woodworks around the sink does not come into contact with the powder, as it may eat off the paint. The kitchen sink should be cleaned as thoroughly as this twice a week, and every day carefully rinsed out with hot soapsuds. When the eyes are tired from too long use or reading by insufficient light, moisten pieces of old linen or absorbent cotton with some good extract, and place them on the closed eyelids for 15 minutes, or longer, while you lie down in a quiet room. No piece of velvet, no matter how crumpled or marred, need be thrown away as useless. For even in the most hopeless looking fragments lurk unsuspected possibilities or rejuvenation. They should be thoroughly washed with good pure soap of some kind and allowed to dry partly after rinsing. Then, with a hot iron, they are to be pressed on both sides until perfectly dry. In conclusion, the iron may be passed backward and forward with a polishing motion on the right side, and the result is "panne" velvet of the newest type. Cut up into "diamonds," circles and strips, either applied plain or ornamental with French knots, these odds and ends will be found very useful possessions just now. When laces and silks and woolens are alike decorated. WHAT DRAPERIES ARE FOR. Plain Materials Are Much More Artistic and Sensible Than There is no other feature of house furnishing which is so abused as the draperies. The purpose of these should be borne in mind, says Josephine Wright Chapman, in Success. They may be intended to keep out the light or the cold, or, in the case of window draperies, to screen one from the gaze of the public. The materials should be selected with this purpose in mind, as well as to harmonize in color with the other furnishings of the room. What can be uglier than the popular cheilene curtain, with its long, beraggled fringes, thrown over a pole, looking for all the world as if it were hung up to dry? The portieres should be of plain material, for, as I have said before, the bric-a-brac and pictures will be sufficient to give variety of color and design. As the hall is narrow, it is better to keep its draperies of the same color as the walls, as that will not attract attention to the nartownness, as a contrasting color would. Whether he landscape or foliage or plain green paper is used on the hall, plain green in the same tone should be used for the portieres. If inexpensive material is desired, denim or the old-fashioned rep, which comes double width, at from 50 to 65 metres per yard, is good. A velour or velvet, of course, far richer, but this cost will at least two dollars per yard. The same tone of green which is used on the hall side may be used also for the living-room side of the portiere, as this tones excellently with the brown of the walls; therefore, in this case, ore could use double-faced goods. If it is desired, however, a darker brown may be used on the living-room side. As in the case of cushions and coverings, the heavy draperies and portieres should be of a darker tone than that of the walls. This gives more character to the room. Only a Bluff.

Elegant Train Service of the Nickel Plate Road. The thorough development and maintenance of the up-to-date passenger service of the Nickel Plate Road leaves nothing to be desired by people who travel. Ladies traveling alone or accompanied by children will appreciate the clean and colored coaches, made so by the corps of colored coaches, and the wants of both first and second-class passengers without extra charge. The dining car service of the Nickel Plate Road has become very popular with the patrons on the line and one of pride to the management. This service is conducted under the system of individual club meals, which are served into booklets, containing suggestions for breakfast, luncheon or supper that will not cost you more than thirty-five cents and on up to one dollar, which is the limit, hence the disbursement may wait for the appetite. Meals are also served in a la carte. As no excess fare is charged on any ticket, your advantage to purchase your tickets via the Nickel Plate Route, where rates are lower than via any other line. CALIFORNIA DOG PAINTER on Them. "Yes, sir. For instance," said a painter, relates the San Francisco Post, "there's a mammoth winter storm landscape I've just finished for Mr. Mudd, the bonantha bearer in the Walton the Adirondacks," and a visitor who sat down near it the other day caught a sore throat in less than 15 minutes. The illusion is so perfect, you understand. Why, I had to put in the finishing touches with my ulcer and arctic overshoes on." "Bang," said the animal gem I did for Gov.

"It just beats me. When the governor examined the work he insisted in my painting in a post with the dog chained and he didn't know what might happen."

TURN OVER TIME When Nature Hints About Food. When there's no relish to any food and all that one eats doesn't seem to do any good then is the time to make a turn over in the diet, for that's Nature's way of dropping a hint that the food isn't the kind required. "For a number of years I followed railroad work, much of it being office work of a trying nature. Meal times were our busiest and eating too much and too quickly of food such as is commonly served in hotels and restaurants, these together with the sedentary habits were not long in giving me dyspepsia and stomach trouble which reduced my weight from 205 to 160 pounds. "There was little relish in any food and none of it seemed to do me any good. It seemed the more I ate the poorer I got and was always hungry before another meal, no matter how much I had eaten. "Then I commenced a fair trial of Grape-Nuts and was surprised how a small saucer of it would carry me along, strong and with satisfied appetite, until the next meal, with no sensations of hunger, weakness or distress as before. "I have been following this diet now for several months and my improvement has been so great all the others in my family have taken up the use of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfaction and much improvement in health and brain power. "American people undoubtedly eat hurriedly, have lots of worry, thus hindering digestion and therefore need a food that is predigested and concentrated in nourishment."

A Centerview physician was hauled before a church court on a charge of "immorality and conduct unbecoming a gentleman." Five women appeared against him and testified that he had hugged and kissed them against their will. The physician had hired a Harrisonville lawyer to defend him, but the lawyer was ruled out. Then the physician's faithful wife, in face of the strong evidence, became his counsel, and defended him a good deal more vigorously than the lawyer probably would have done. The doctor was convicted and expelled from the church. He and his wife will appeal to a higher court of the denomination. Value of Missouri Minerals In redard to its mineral resources, Missouri will make a magnificent showing in the forthcoming annual report. The aggregate value of the minerals which were produced in the state during the year 1963 reaches the splendid sum of $20,237,320. The figures, compiled by the bureau, which separate the minerals into classes, and give the quantity and aggregate value of each, make this showing: 421,218,000 pounds of zinc, $6,790,214; 257,600,000 pounds of lead, $6,164,774; 2,055,000 pounds of nickel, cobalt and copper, $276,400; 387,335,000 pounds of fire clay, tripoli and baryte, $275,726; 4,265,328 tons of coal, $6,730,515. Max Vittate Other Laws. From the reports of the decision of the Missouri supreme court denying the right of the state board of arbitration and mediation to punish witnesses for contempt, attorneys believe the decision may be far-reaching in its effect, depriving other state boards and commissions of the power to compel the attendance of witnesses and virtually putting an end to these boards. Among others thought to be affected is the state board of railroad and warehouse commissioners, as the sections of the arbitration law knocked out were copied verbatim from the act creating the railroad commission. Counted Him Worthy. The Harvard club, of St. Louis, has awarded the $300 Harvard scholarship, which it gives annually to the graduate of some Missouri college, to Guy P. Senter, of Liberty. He is a graduate of William Jewell college and has made a specialty of chemistry and physics. The Harvard club committee selected Mr. Senter for the scholarship from among a large number of applicants. Mr. Senter is 27 years old and his record particularly appealed to the committee because of the fact that he had worked his way through both high school and college. Rhoades is Superstitious. T. J. Rhoades, of Eldorado Springs, republican nominee for congress in the Sixth district, went to Nevada recently and secured a license to wed Miss Orpha Troutman. With Miss Troutman he had started from Eldorado Springs, but found Clear creek too high to be forded. Then he secured a livery rig and drove 29 miles, arriving at Nevada by a roundabout route. Rhoades is superstitious and refused to be married Friday. Accompanied by his fiancee he left Nevada for St. Louis where they were married by Rev. Mr. Fullerton. Lavelock Broke the Dendlock. After taking 145 ballots the Third district democratic congressional convention at Gallatin nominated J. W.

The aggregate amount of the capital stock represented by the domestic issued certificates of incorporation by the secretary of state during the month of May, including that portion of the capitalization of the foreign companies to which were issued licenses authorizing them to do business in this state, which was set apart for that purpose during the same period, is $4,135,700, as against $7,988,523.98 for April, a decrease of $3,852,823.98. Of this sum the domestic companies represented $3,666,500 and the foreign companies $499,200. Besides these, 16 companies which had been previously incorporated, with an aggregate capitalization of $58,021,000, increased that amount to $116,186,000, a net increase of $58,165,000. This net increase, together with the domestic corporations and the Missouri portion of the foreign companies' capitalization, makes a grand total of $62,200,700, and this sum is the amount of the capital of all companies, either incorporated, licensed or making an increase in their original capitalization during the month, as against $7,988,523.98 for April, a gain of $54,312,16.02. Wife Came to His Rescue. Paul Wlecke, a prominent German farmer living west of Hannibal, was badly wounded by a bull. He had gone to his barn to feed his stock when the animal, which was running at large in the barnyard, knocked him down and gored him. Several ribs were broken and one of his lungs injured. Mrs. Wlecke, who was attracted by the cries of her husband, succeeded in driving the animal away. The condition of Mr. Wlecke was precarious. He'll Be Tried for Murder. W. J.

"What to Do After Planting" Discussed by Prof. H. E. Van Deman, Promologist. It is far too common to see fruit trees and many other valuable costly things planted and then left to their fate, or nearly so. Some people seem to have the idea that their duty is done when they set things in the ground; that Mother Nature will do the rest. Nature does do a great deal for us, and, probably, far more than we often deserve, but we must not presume too much upon her efforts. We have only begun our duty. Like the mother who has the infant in her arms—it is to be made by her, in very largely, whatever it will be in future life. it must be fed and trained. So must the tree or plant. In the first place, supposing the soil is fairly rich and the planting has been done properly, which is very often not the case, there should be nothing like allowing the soil to become hard. This it will do in a short time if not given prompt attention. The spring rains are usually abundant, and this fact alone will cause the soil to pack, and when a dry spell comes, it will bake on top, if it is not prevented. The best thing is good tillage. By this I mean the tillage of the entire surface between the trees or plants. Many act on the theory that a little space about them is all that is necessary to keep loose, which is a serious mistake. Capillarity works laterally as well as vertically. A hard space, where the moisture is escaping into the air very freely, will draw upon the soil next to it, if it be moist. That is just what occurs in cases where little patches are kept hard about trees in a grain field or a grassy yard. It will be so anywhere that all the land is not under thorough tillage. If a farm or garden crop must be grown between the trees, as is often wise and proper to do, let it be one that shall be well tilled for several months, beginning in the springtime. In any case, stir the surface frequently, but not very deep. This is the true principle of tillage, for it is to conserve the soil moisture. Plow under weeds if necessary, but aim to never let them get large enough to need it. Watch the young sprouts that will finally be branches, and rub or cut away those not needed. This is much better than to allow them to get large and then have to cut them off, to the injury of the tree in some degree. A sin never committed does not have to be repented of, and so with that tree: one not allowed to grow right into bad shape does not have to be righted. Keep the insects and fungus diseases off by spraying while things are young, if there is any need of it, and there often is more than we are apt to think. In short, live with what you have planted, as a mother does with her child, and know what it is doing and needing—Prof. H. E. Van Deman, in Rura, World. MAKING OVAL FLOWER BED. No Other Shape Affords Quite So Much Opportunity for Display of Various Plants. The simplest and most satisfactory way to make an oval flower bed is that most satisfactory al flower bed is that shown in the cut. Stakes are set at a and band an endless cord, longer than twice the distance between the stakes. shown in the cut. Stakes are set at a and band an endless cord, longer than twice the distance between the stakes, placed around them. Then the slack of the cord is taken up by the stake c, which is scratched across the surface of the ground as it is moved around the two stationary stakes, after which the apparatus may be removed. If the line be traced before the ground is dug, a spade may be used at once; if after, the mounding of the bed may be done without further delay. This method takes less than a quarter of the time occupied in the old way of sighting and the results are far more satisfactory. By varying the length of the cord or the distance between the stakes a and b, the shape of the oval may be varied from narrow to broad as desired.—M. G. Kains, in Farm and Home. DAIRY AND LIVE STOCK. The separator must be kept in perfect repair and well oiled. Cows should be milked, watered, fed and cleaned at regular intervals. Cream from the deep setting system should be kept cold until enough has been collected for a churning, then ripened. When feeding cattle the object should be, especially if they are two-year-olds and at all thin, to get as much growth and development during the first two or three months of feeding, and then widen out the ration and fatten rapidly. It is better to feed to young calves a little linseed jelly in addition to bran and oats. Prepare by placing a table-spoon old process oil meal in earthen jar or dish, add boiling water and mix. It is readily eaten and is beneficial to the digestive organs. I had a fat beef to sell and cattle buyers offered only $28 for the steer alive. I butchered him and sold the meat to a hotel for $43.70. The hide paid for the slaughtering and the offal made dog and chicken feed. -Idaho Letter in Farm and Home. Whitewash for Cow Stables.

Visiting the farms in the vicinity of Elgin, Ill., one is struck with the frequency of the whitewashed stables.

"Whenever an unknown person of distinguished appearance enters my office, I am reminded of the experience of Frank Vanderlip," said a senator's secretary, according to the Washington Star. "When I met him, he asked me to apply secretary, before he got wel acquainted, he paid little attention to the people he did not know. One he god acquainted, he paid little attention to the people he did not know. One day a member of the cabinet called on Secretary Gage and was ignored for some time by Vanderlip, finally going into the private room unnoticed. The Secretary asked him to President McKinley, and the president mentioned it to Secretary Gage, who thereupon reprimanded Vanderlip. "The next day, Vanderlip turning over a new leaf, one of the first persons to ask him about his work, low with a partriarchal beard.

We donot want any more men going into office as yepublicans, and as seon as they are landed, turn to some other faith. The boys were fooled two years ago, it wont pay to fool *hem again. ELsewnrre, in this issue, our yeaders will find the announces ments of several of the candi- dates for the nomination for po- sitions on our county and town- ship tickets, subject tothe action of the torthcoming Republican convention. The gentlemen are worthy of the consideration of the republican voters, because of their service to the community, to the state and the party, Of them we shall speak briefly and personally. for the office of pros- ecuting attorney, Hon, Clay C. Kelley presents hisname. Mr, Kelley is a young man of culture, having been raised in Johnson founty, near Knob Noster, and trained in the Knob Noster school, After finishing there, he tended and graduated from the Warrensburg Normal, thence he ‘Mudied at De Paun university, at reencastle, Ind., Desirous of t practice ofdaw, he attended mod graduated fpom Aun Harbor sity. Wmmpediately after Mating, he located at Sedalia, this'county, and has built apa tu: ¢rative practice, Prior to his elec tion #3 county attorney, he was city attorney for one term, and county assessor for one term, During his career as city attor- ney he looked after the city’s in- terests so well in damage suits that not one was lost to the city's detriment. Having known Mr. Kelley for many years, we find him to be a man of sterling worth and genuine integrity, His cul- ture and thaaliness commends him to all men, and especially to the republicans of Pettis county, because he is a patriotic partisan gaurding the interests of his par- ty, with the same zeal and loyalty as he protects his religious belief. Our people should view his candi- dacy with pleasure, on account of his treatment of all men as men, recognizing no color or clan, class or clique, creed nor cast, but all und for the good ofall, Of Mr. T. M. Veits, of Hughs- ville, we are pleased to speak fa- vorably. He is one of the “old warriors” of the party in his sec- tion, and has been a good citizen, respected by all men for hts in- tegrity and thrift. Having raised himself thru his own efforts, from a farm laborer to one of the principal land owners, of his vi- cinity, is sufficient season to his commanding the party's appreci- ation of his efforts. Mr, Veits asks that he be nominated for county treasurer. Let the party give him just and favorable con- sideration. For assessor, Chas. D. Brown has presented his name. Mr. Brown is a wide awake business young man, who has filled the po- sition very acceptably for one term, and we feel sure that the party will be pleased to continue him in that position, His career here in the city needs no elabor- ate mention, because we all know him to be only three halves re- publican and that in itself will appeal to the members of the G. O. P. in this county. Thos. Robb, brother of the af. fe ble Jas. A. Robb, ex-constable, is prevailed upon by his friends to make the race for constable of Sedalia townsbip. We know him to be O. K., hence, the “boys” will certainly give him their most unpartial consideration, Uncle Vest Witcher says, “he is a staunch friend to the colored man.” ‘This we know must be a fact, for Uncle Vest would rec- commend only good men. J. Berni, Barbour, writing from Chicago, in “Music and Stage,” says Orville tones has a new song entitled “Aud This Shall Be His Name.” ‘The chorusreads in this man- ner: It seems that the couple, the mother and father of the child could pot decide on a name for offspring. Of course, the mother thought Bill would be a sufficient name for the youngster; but the father wanted it named for most of the gaeat men of ancient and modern times. However, his talk prevailed and in conclusion he said to his wife: -‘Pake this pencil, do the ‘riting While I do the ‘citing, And this shall be his name: George Washington, Pierpont Morgan Cornelius Vanderbilt ‘Gould, Napoleon Bonaparte Mark Hanna Julius Caeser Stoole Wil- liams Walker Ernest Hogan Al- exander, Martin Luther Mark ‘Twain Booker T.

The state has appropriated sufficent means to amply provide for a progressive summer school of instructiou, in those branches schoiastic work that shall inure to the teacher's best good, Itis hoped that P.ttis county and other Counties adjacent to it will be largly reprsented at this sum. mer school: NEGRO HOSTRES DESIRED. Bxposition Company Holdes Fair Is Opon to Everyone, The opening of an Afro-Ameri- can bureau, with a hostess in charge, whose duties it will be to meetand greet negroes, is being considered by the World's Fair management, with a view to ob- veating some of the difficulties of the race problem, which are constantly aisring. The Ex- position company is determined to take nodecided stand on the race question, maintaining its original position that the Fair is open to everybody. Complaints of negros that they are refused fresh water at the booths will probably be met by the provision of separated rinking cups for colored people. Some stands have posted notices that they will not serve negroes, --P, D, | Nepubdlican Nominating | Convention, | Adelegate convention of the re- publican electors of Pettis coun- ty, Missouri, is hereby called to | meet at Sedalia, Saturday, June 18, 1904, at 10 o'clock, a. m., for | the purpose of selecting delegates |to the state nominating conven: ‘tion at St. Joseph July 26; to the |State judicial convention at Jeff- erson City, August 16; to the Fif- teenth senatorial district conven- tion, and also for the purpose of ‘nominating a republican candi- date for judge for the Thirtieth ‘judicial cirewit, and for the nomi- nation of republican candidates for the following county offices: Representative, prosecuting at- torney, collector, treasurer, sher- iff, Loroner, judge of Eastern dis- trict, judge of Western district, assessor, surveyor, and public administrator, and also to notify the nomination of one constable for each township of the county, and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before said convention, Each township is entitled to representation in the convention as follows: Blackwater, No, 1....... 3 Blackwater, No, 2 Reged Bowling Green....4.....0000004 BGR ay Cs pasts ccars tay ee opie Dresden... ives cores men AGM Roni itis ncsaseecbi ante Flat Creek... ya verowe Res ee Green Ridge, No. 1......6.....3 Green Ridge, No. 2 eae Heath's Creek, No. 1.... 2 Heath's Creek, No. 2..........3 Hughesville, No. 1... 000006063 Hughesville, No. 2............41 HOUMA Kise cece coesenercneed TAMONEC ec cececctsvese 4 Longwood, No. Lo... eee c0ee 002 Longwood, No. 2.......6......2 BRED vis liter oes Mer tis cae PUENCON petra cscs va eeneilancsd WASHINGIOR Gs civic ahereenen se Sedalia, First ward. ..........18 Sedalia, Second ward. ........10 Sedalia, Third ward..........16 Sedalia, Fourth ward.........15 ‘The electors in the yarious The electors in Sedalia town- ship are called to meet at their respective yoting places in the First.
