"Ignorance marks a straight ticket, and for such a display of ignorance there has been and is never any reward politically, civilly or other wise for the colored people of any community, be it in Oregon or in Massachusetts.
The history of the disfranchisement of the blacks of the South show the goal to-ward which the Negro is rushed who votes a straight ticket".
This hit of usurability from the Oregon Advocate, should have a careful consideration by all Negroes who handle the franchise carelessly.

THE WONDERS OF THE
WORLD AT ST. LOUIS
St, Lonis,—Early visitors to the Louis:
lana Purchase exposition have found
‘At St, Louls an exposition so neariy com-
‘plete that they have in no way missed
‘the few minor details that were unfin-
ished on the opening dey, and which
have since been completed. In fact tn
an exposition of such proportions as
| this it would be Impossible to discover
‘a thousand little detatis that might lack
completion,
Weather conditions were against the
‘exposition management for a few days
‘preceding the opening. Now every-
‘thing 1s favorable, and the great fair
‘Is entirely complete, a completeness, we
must repeat, that is #0 enormous that
it f8 all but hinpossibie to comprehend
‘what it has meaut to the builders, The
Mast vestige of gcaffolding that for a
few days turrownded some of the lees Im-
‘portant bufidings has been torn away;
the last wagon load of refuse hauled
from the grounds; every flower and
shrub the landgeape gardeners incluced
in thelr echeme of decoration growing
under the benign influence of a spring
sun, and the exposition stands forth a
completed giant, beautiful in concep-
Gn, wonderful in execution, stupendous
in elae, by far the masterpiece of the
| world’s expositions.

For beauty, for magnificence, for extent,
St, Louls has beat the world,
‘There ts another feature, or rather
collection of features, which seemingly
appeals to every visitor, and with good
reason, and that is "The Pike." The

bulit an exposition which should stand
forth to the world on its merits as an
educator, a8 @ monument to the world’s

Felter of 318 South E St., San Bernardino, Calif., says: "For 18 years my kidneys were not performing their functions properly. There was some backache, and the kidney secretions were profuse, containing also considerable sediment. Finally the doctors said I had diabetes.

DISEASE MENACE IN CANAL
Philippine Medical Official Says Waterway May Bring Yellow Fever to the Islands.
Dr. Richard P. Strong, director of the biological laboratory at Manila, P. I., has a paper in the fourth annual report of the Philippine commission showing how the Panama canal may become a factor in introducing yellow fever into our eastern possessions and the entire orient.
He shows that the Hawaiian islands, Guam and the Philippines will be exposed to the importation of cases of yellow fever or of infected "stegomyla fasciata" (the mosquito that carries the fever), unless the disease can be banished from Panama.
The disease often follows the lines of commercial maritime travel, and many instances are on record of its introduction by vessels into hitherto uninfected regions.
It does not seem improbable, therefore, says Dr. Strong, that unless extreme precautions are taken against vessels passing from these regions and bound for ports in the far east, infected ships, and even cases of yellow fever will be conveyed from the above-mentioned cities to Honolulu, or even directly to Guam, Hongkong and the Philippine islands.
Curios Sold to Bury Him.
In order to secure funds to bury him, the personal property of the late Levi Collins, of Newcastle, Del., was sold at an auction the other day, and a sum was realized to pay for a decent funeral. Collins was a bachelor who for 40 years rose daily at dawn and made a tour of the town, picking up what he could find of value in the gutters. He was seldom known to walk on the sidewalk. In his house were found a number of boxes full of curios which he had picked up. Among them were bricks from the "Old Tile house," built by William Penn, and many articles of brie-a-brac from far away countries.
Another Jap Victory.
The ear is said to be so much
grieved by the Russian reverses that he
is thinking of abandoning his despotic
authority and giving his country a
constitution. The Japanese would be
justified, remarks the Washington
Star, in regarding such a step as a fine
tribute to their prowess as promoters
of civilization.
Not Always the Case.
In awarding damages to a father who had a son and daughter in a street railway accident a Newark judge set the boy's value at $6,000 and the girl's at $3,000. "A woman may become a bread-winner," he said, "a man must be one." The Duluth Herald says it can show him quite a number who are not.
HAS TRIED BOTH.
Travel for Health Vs. Dieting.
'A man who was sent to Europe for his health and finally found cure in a little chance in his diet says:
"I was troubled with dyspepsia for five years and two doctors here in Kenosha that treated me for over a year both told me there was no help for me. Then I had an expert from Chicago, but still received no relief; then followed another expert from Chicago who came to our house two times a month for four months. He gave me up like all the others and told me to take a trip across the ocean, which I did in the year 1899 and came home about as bad as when I started. The doctors told me my stomach lining was full of sores. Then I began to study my own case and learned of the diet recommended by the Postum Cereal Co., so I gave up coffee, pork and all greasy foods and began using Postum Food Coffee. Gradually I got better and better until I am well now as I ever was in my younger days, have no trouble and eat anything to eat.
"Sometimes away from home I am persuaded to drink coffee, but I only take g:ip of it, for it tastes bitter and disagreeable to me, but the longer I use Postum the better I like it and the better I feel. I could say a great deal more of my experience with Postum, but think this will give everyone a good idea of what leaving off coffee and using Postum can do."

Happenings in Missouri.
Dowle Has the Proceed.
Dowie Has the Proceeds.
"Ellijah" Dowie, of Zion City, Ill., is the target of a suit recently filed to deprive him of $80,000, left under the will of Isaac Busick, a convert. The litigation is promoted in the interest of two sons of the dead man, now at Milan, Sullivan county. Two years ago Busick sold all of his property in Milan and moved to Zion City, having been a convert to Dowie for some years. He is said to have been wealthy, and it is claimed that his estate was valued at $80,000. He had not been at Zion long before he was taken sick, and, without any medical aid being given him, he died August 17, 1903. It developed that he had left a will and made his son by his last wife, Caleb A. Busick, his executor. The executor has recently filed an inventory of the estate and it shows a total value of about $25,000.
Joplin's "Queen" Vindicated.
Mrs. J. R. Weyland, wife of a prominent Joplin druggist, was fined $100 and costs in court on a charge of common assault. The case grew out of an assault by Mrs. Weyland upon Miss Maude McGee, the queen of the Joplin carnival. It was publicly announced that Mrs. Weyland was to be the matron of honor, and within 12 hours after this announcement Miss McGee was quoted in an interview in a Joplin paper as saying that she had not appointed Mrs. Weyland. Mrs. Weyland and Miss MsGee, who had been good friends until that time, met in the Pyramid room that night. May 27, and Mrs. Weyland assaulted her.
Plague of Rats Near Chillicothe.
A plague of rats is infesting the country south of Chillicothe and doing serious damage. For some time the farmers have complained that rats were eating their corn. The rodents have now turned their attention to young chickens and the havoc they are working is appalling to the poultry raisers. One woman living near Hale reports that she lost 75 young chickens, killed by rats in one night. Others have suffered to an almost equal degree. "That killings" have been inaugurated by the farmers of Livingston county. One day recently a killing "bee" on the farm of John Hoyt resulted in the slaying of 85.

More Pay for Kansas City Teachers.
The Kansas City board of education voted to extend the school year from 36 weeks to 40 weeks and to make the salaries of teachers with four years of experience $720 a year. The board further provided that by passing two examinations these $720 a year teachers might earn an additional increase, first to $760 a year and than to $900 a year. There is a possibility of a still further increase to $25 a year. The maximum salary in effect until Thursday night's action of the board was $630 a year of 36 weeks, or nine months, a salary of $70 a month.

Judge Dabbs Will Remain.
Judge Dabbs will remand.
The supreme court decided that Judge Hugh Dabbs, of the circuit court of Jasper county, is entitled to hold his office until the first day of January, 1908. Judge Dabbs was appointed to the office on March 28, 1901, to hold until the first Monday in January, 1903, under an act of the legislature creating the office of circuit judge for that county. At the election in November, 1902, F. M. Redburn, republican, was elected to the office but he died the next day. The attorney general, Mr. Crow, instituted suit in the supreme court to custod Dabbs on the ground that a vacancy existed in the office by the death of Judge Redburn. It was a friendly proceeding to test the right of Judge Dabbs to hold the office over the election in November.
Six "Hoboes" Held Up.
A bold daylight highway robbery was committed at Sedalla by Edward Hampton, of St. Louis, and J. Kelly, of Texas, who were arrested and lodged in jail. Hampton and Kelly came in from St. Louis and walked up the track to the railway yards just as a freight train was pulling in. Six men, who were beating their way, got off the train, and Kelly and Hampton lined these up at the point of two guns and went through them, obtaining about $40. When ordered to throw up their hands, the six men thought they were being arrested for stealing rides and were relieved of all they had before they realized what had happened.

CATARRH IS THE CAUSE OF MOST KIDNEY DISEASES.
PE-RU-NA CURES CATARRH.
SAMUEL R. SPRECHER.
Samuel R. Sprecher, Junior Beadle Court Angellina, 3,423 L. O. F. , 205 New High St., Los Angeles, Cal., writes:
"I came a few years ago suffering with catarrh of the kidneys, in search of health. I thought the climate would cure me, but found I was mistaken. But what the climate could not do Peruna could and did do. Seven weeks' trial convinced me that I had the right medicine, and I was then a well man. I know of at least twenty friends and members of the lodge to which I belong who have been cured of catarrh, bladder and kidney trouble through the use of Peruna, and it has a host of friends in this city."

Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common Disease—Kidney Trouble Often Fails to Be Regarded as Catarrh by Physicians.
Catarr of the kidneys is very common indeed. It is a pity this fact is not better known to the physicians as well as the people. People have kidney disease. They take some diuretic, hoping to get better. They never once think of catarrh. Kidney disease and catarrh are seldom associated in the minds of the people, and, alas, it is not very often associated in the minds of the physicians. Too few physicians recognize catarrh of the kidneys. They doctor for something else. They try this remedy and that

Captain James L. Dempsey, Captain 3nd Precinct Troy Police Force, writes from 198 Ferry St., Troy, N. Y., as follows:
"From my personal experience with Peruna I am satisfied it is a very fine remedy for catarrhal affections, whether of the head, lungs, stomach or pelvic organs. It cures colds quickly, and a few doses taken after undue exposure prevents illness.
"Some of the patrolmen under me have also found great relief from Peruna. It has cured chronic cases of kidney and bladder troubles, restored men suffering from indigestion and rheumatism, and I am fully persuaded that it is an honest, reliable medicine, hence I fully endorse and recommend it." JAMES L. DEMPSEY.
Officer A. C. Swanson writes from 607 Harrison St., Council Bluffs, Ia., as follows:
"As my duties compelled me to be out in all kinds of weather I contracted a severe cold from time to time, which settled in the kidneys, causing severe pains and trouble in the pelvic organs.

[for the occasion was furnished
by the Lincoln Choral Union, un-
der the supervisiou of Mrs, Mat-

except Mr, Warrick, who is a ve-
ry ambitious and talented youth
from near Bunceton. He posses-|
ses much latent poetical talent,
that, if properly cultivated, will
reflect credit upon his High’

honor and renown to himself.
Acting Supt. J. P. Gass, in his
