There will be entrances on all four sides, with the broad sides of the building emphasized by great massive porches, flanked with sculpture groups, symbolical of mines, forestry, manufactures, agriculture and horticulture. POST OFFICE CLERKS. The St. Louis Post Office Clerks' association met last Sunday morning and elected the following officers: G. E. Scott, president; Thos. A. Jefferson, vice-president; High Mallory, second vice-president; E. A. Harris, secretary; J. McWhorten, corresponding secretary; D. J. Ingram, financial secretary; Oddie F. Speller, treasurer. A large number of clerks and carriers were present, and all of the offices were closely contested. The annual reports of the secretaries and treasurer were received and adopted. President James B. Huston delivered his annual address, in which he reviewed the progress made by the association, and commented upon the benefits received by the uniting of the clerks and letter carriers, in which their social, moral and general welfare were promoted. President Huston also commented upon the interest manifested by the Colored clerks and carriers in the service, and concluded by paying a glowing tribute to Postmaster Baumhoff for the masterly manner in which he had conducted the affairs of the post office and the unprecedented treatment he has accorded the Colored employees of the post office. Some of the clerks and carriers are preparing to organize a glee club, which will no doubt become very popular with their many friends. KNIGHTS OF PHYTHIAS The twelfth biennial session and encampment of the Supreme Lodge and Uniform Rank of the K. of P. will convene in this city August 31-September 5.

The largest attended session ever held is anticipated. A great deal of good work has been accomplished this year. A heated contest for office will be indulged in. While this has, and doubtless always will exist, all must admit that the U. B. F. and S. M. T. does more for its members than any other order in this state. S. T. Pettigrew is present grand master, and Prof. W. Harrison grand secretary. It is presumed that both of these officers will be re-elected. John A. Logan lodge will be represented by David E. Gordon, L. W. Vinegar and John W. Wheeler. The delegates will leave for Macon via the Wabash, Monday night. Mrs. J Fitzhugh, of 2354 Chestnut --- The feature of the interior will be the large reception hall, 55x60 feet, with a hardwood floor. In the floor will be a marble mosaic center piece about twenty-six feet square, showing the counties of Kentucky in different colored marbles.

Miss Maggie Fountain of 647 Red Bud avenue, lost a position, recently, because she had a dress made of similar material and like one worn by her employer.

Elaborate programmes have been prepared, and the gatherings promise much interest and food for the intellectual. A lady entered a dry goods store, not long since, and told the salesman to show her something that Negroes didn't wear. The gentleman asked: "Did I understand you to say that you wished to see a kind of goods not worn by Negroes?" She replied in the affirmative. He stood and pondered for a moment, then darting a few steps away, returned with a bolt of white jeans. He said: "Madam, here's something Negroes do not wear now. They were compelled to wear it before the war, but have not worn it since. They wear everything else we have in stock." The lady, highly indignant, turned on the salesman a glance of scorn and walked rapidly away. The four clubs, namely, the Pleasant Workers, Carnation, Ruth and The Gentlemen, met in different parts of the church last Sunday evening, at two o'clock, for the purpose of making some arrangements by which each one would give an outing or entertainment of some kind to raise money to help pay off the church debt.

The Central Baptist church gave a lawn festival at the residence of Mrs. L. Rodgers, of 2618 Pine st. Capt. C. H. Tandy delivered an excellent speech on the origin of the church. He traced its progress from 1846 until the present date. Rev. Richards, its first pastor, served but one year. Rev. John Anderson, his successor, 16 years; Rev. J. F. Bauld, 3 years; Rev. H. White, two years; Rev. Simon P. Anderson, 12 years; Rev. S. P. Lewis, three years; Rev. S. P. Anderson, again, five years, and Rev. J. L. Cohron, 13 years. Rev. J. R. Anderson was foremost among all as a pulpit orator, devout Christian and race man. He had held an eminent position in our city government before the war, and was highly respected by everyone. . One of the largest funerals ever held in our city was that of Rev. Anderson. When the carriages were entering Bellefontaine cemetery, the end of the funeral procession was at Eighth and Lucas avenue. Mr. Tandy's discourse was deeply interesting. Prof. P. H. Murry delivered a very elcquent speech also, on "San Domingo." All spent a very pleasant time. The report that President Roosevelt refused the White House grounds to the Women's Rescue League because they ostracized Negro children has been flatly contradicted. Whether the article was edited with a view toward exciting critical comment with the intention of injuring the president or not, remains to be proven. That any of our daily newspapers should state the occurrence as a positive fact, and then acknowledge it to be a fabrication, seems a rather flimsy manner of doing business. However, if the incident was really true, the Negro race owes the president another debt of gratitude. ```markdown ``` J. W. WHEELER. Editor and Manager, ST. LOUIS. MISSOURL CURRENT COMMENT. Something will be likely to happen when the standpatters of Japan shall meet the holdfasts of Russia. "You're better off than a cardinal,' the Atchison Globe says. "He must not only smile when defeated, but kiss the toe of the victor." Gov. Odell admits that he is in the hands of his friends for 1908. In the meantime, his friends will be on his own hands in great numbers. Only that same old average of 13 bushels of wheat to the acre again. It seems to be as hard to get away from as the $13 a month army wage. Keene has lost $9,000,000 and Gates has lost his health. The climate of Wall street compels its residents to be invalided after a very short stay there. A New York woman has been sent to jail and fined $50 for beating her husband. There's a court to tie to, benedicts. May its frowns and fines never grow less. A strike of 2,800 men and boys in a Welsh slate quarry has lasted $2½ years. An ounce of arbitration would have settled the matter in half an hour, without a strike. The editor and the preacher in a lynching town always speak out against the mob, but it is noticeable that the rest of the population preserve an "ominous" silence. They think the editor and preacher are bluffing. If we ever should hit a comet, the astronomers would differ about the date so widely that they would probably keep us in the cyclone cellars for three years waiting for it. It enough to make one mad to think about it. A collection of Alaskan wild animals will be exhibited at the world's fair. A pair of each of the land and water birds and one family each of polar bears, moose, mountain sheep and mountain goats will be included in the display. H. Broadwell, of Ralston, claims to own the largest steer in Oklahoma. The steer is three years old, raised exclusively on range grass, and is 19½ hands high. It weighs 2,080 pounds and measures 16 feet from the end of its nose to the tip of its tail. William Durant has completed nearly 70 years of active service on the Boston Transcript, and has just celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday. He is 14 years older than the Transcript, whose service he entered when it was four years old. Ed Howe, of the Atchison Globe starts a cheer for W. J. Black, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe, because of the excellent record made last week by the Santa Fe's Chicago-Los Angeles special. It would be just as well to slip in also a little cheer for the master mechanics, the dispatchers, the dirty men up in the engine cab and the trackmen. "Jerry" is a good wagon but he didn't turn that trick alone.—Topeka Capital. It has been 42 years since Nelson A. Miles enlisted as a volunteer soldier at the outbreak of the civil war, and Saturday he retired from the command of the army. When he enlisted he was a mere boy, flery with the spirit of 21 and now he is an old man. He emerged from the greatest war of modern times a major general in the regular army, but he waited 30 years before he came into his own, for it was not until 1895 that he succeeded to the command of the army by reason of his seniority. That there is neither politics nor religion in crime is illustrated by the embezzlement of $80,000 by the treasurer of the Methodist Preachers' Aid society of New England. If any obligation to observe a trust should be held sacred this custody of the money belonging to needy clergymen ought to be so regarded, but the culprit plainly recognized no special duty by reason of the character attaching to the funds. In a word, a person seeking a crooked path will find it, no matter in what field he is operating. A celebration took place Friday in part of Oklahoma to commemorate the opening of the Comanche, Kiowa, Wichita and Apache reservations to settlement. These lands, about 3,000,000 acres in all, were thrown open to settlement under the homestead law on August 6, 1901, and were quickly populated. The tract which they comprise is in southwestern Oklahoma. They have been organized as the counties of Caddo, Kiowa and Comanche, Lawton, Anadarko, Hobart and El Reno are among the principal towns in that tract. The cancer that is gnawing at the vitals of the American commonwealth is the bribery of its public servants. Gradually the standard of integrity is being lowered and public sentiment no longer revolts at the betrayal of public trusts and the miscarriage of justice through the open covert purchase of lawmakers, juries, courts and executives. Like an insidious poison instilled into the human system, bribery does its deadly work stealthily in the body politic until popular self-government becomes a delusion and a snare. Happenings in Missouri. Too Much Costly Raiment. Ex-Representative James A. McLane, of Kansas City, was a recent witness before the Jefferson City grand jury. While a member of the house he led the fight against the Hall medical bill, which became a law after an interesting and exciting contest. Mr. McLane was asked if any money was spent. "Not a cent on our side," he said. "That was one reason we failed to prevent the passage of the bill. The truth is we would have killed the bill if it had not been for a big delegation of Christian scientists from Kansas City and St. Louis. They showed too many evidences of wealth. They came in special Pullmans; had a special train from Kansas City. When they arrived they came into representative hall, 300 or 400 of them, resplendent in diamonds, sealskin cloaks, silk hats and other evidences that they had money. I was sitting in the back part of the hall and watched them come in. I could feel it in the air. Some of the hungry ones would whistle when they saw diamonds as big as grains of corn. 'Something doin'?' I heard one whisper. Well, the next morning they were around. 'Who's got the stuff, Mac?' some of them said. There wasn't a cent in it, but I couldn't make them believe it. They said if the people interested could afford to wear such clothes they could afford to pay something to get the bill killed if they were so anxious about it. On final passage I think every wolf in the house voted for the bill and soaked us good." Pershing Slated for Promotion. Capt. J. Pershing, of Linn county, Mo., is one of the young officers of the United States army who stands an excellent chance for promotion to a brigadier generalship. Capt. Pershing, who is with the Fifteenth cavalry, is expected to arrive in San Francisco from Manila in a few days on his way to Washington to report for duty as a member of the general staff. This young officer has gained considerable fame by the series of brilliant diplomatic and military victories he has lately achieved in the island of Mindanao, and in army circles it is regarded as not at all unlikely that he may soon be made a brigadier general. Horse's Strange Affliction. A horse belonging to Ewing Mears, of Monroe county, got a lump on its jaw three years ago. Mr. Mears had a veterinary surgeon operate on the animal the other day, and he took out a hard smooth substance about four inches long and an inch wide resembling a white stone. Those who have examined it say it is a petrified corn cob. The commonly accepted theory is that the horse, while eating, got a cob caught in his mouth, which slowly worked its way into its jaw until it lodged just beneath the skin. Sunday Baseball Fight. As a result of the strong fight which has been made on Sunday baseball at Chillicothe, the city council passed an ordinance to make Sunday baseball legal unless it is played in the streets or public grounds. This is a victory for the ball players and their friends, as the games are played in a private park. The law and order people retaliated by announcing their intention of having a committee present at next Sunday's game to take the names of all who attend. Folk to Address Woodmen. The annual groovling of the Modern Woodmen of southwest Missouri will be held at Pertle Springs September 23 and 24. Seven hundred and fifty dollars in prizes will be given to drill teams and bands. John H. Atwood, of Kansas; Joseph W. Folk, of St. Louis and Head Consul Talbott, of Nebraska, will make addresses. Free Air Don't Suit Him: E. B. Scott, an ex-convict, upon being released from the Sedalia jail for beating his wife, started to hunt her up. She was at the home of her brother playing the organ when Ssott crept into the parlor and, In the presence of several neighbors, cut the woman's throat. He was immediately overpowered. A Man Without a Country. Capt. Henry Marmaduke, a son of former Gov. Marmaduke, of Missouri, is now a man without a country. He gave up his United States citizenship to take part in a recent revolution in South America, which failed, so now he is not a citizen of any land. He is in business in St. Louis. Big Red Apples. Missouri will display at the world's fair 1,000 barrels of apples from the "land of the big red apple." The department of horticulture of the Missouri commission is now undertaking the collection of the fruit which will be placed in cold storage this fall for exhibit next year. Smiths Lead All the Rest. There are 1,337 Smiths in the new Kansas City directory. Johnsons number 977 and Joneses 668. Kent Boarders 20 Years. A certain widow and her daughter at Nevada have retired from business after having run a boarding house continuously for 20 years. Cook Wants Present Position. Sam B. Cook will be a candidate for the democratic nomination for secretary of state next year and not for governor. A Bank for Richards. The Bank of Richards, Vernon county, has been organized with $10,000 capital. Missouri Mule Repudiated. The Missouri mule has been decided officially by the Missouri world's fair commission as not a fit subject for the sculptural decoration of the Missouri building. He does not properly embody the spirit of the state, it is claimed. The two full figures, one of Jefferson and the other of Napoleon, which will be placed on either side of the main entrance of the Missouri building, were substituted by the commission for the first designs submitted, which did not coincide with the commission's idea of what would be appropriate. A mule队 driven by a negro and a cowboy standing by the side of a bull were the first designs submitted for the sculpture to occupy the places of honor on the main front of Missouri's building. At the last meeting of the commission, however, it was decided to substitute for these designs more dignified figures, and the team of mules with their dusky driver will be supplanted by the figure of Thomas Jefferson, while the cowboy with wide sombrero will give place to the majestic figure of the first consul of the French republic. The original groups were well portrayed and the sculpture would have been of the best, but the commission was of the unanimous opinion that no matter how artistic the execution of the proposed figures they were not the embodiment of Missouri sentiment and not typical of the state. The Lone Jack Celebration. Saturday, August 15, the annual celebration of the anniversary of the battle of Lone Jack (Jackson county) will be held. The picnic will be at Russell's park, two miles west of Lone Jack, 12 miles from Lee's Summit and six miles from Pleasant Hill. It will be the forty-first anniversary of the battle of Lone Jack, which is said to have been one of the bloodiest battles of the civil war when the number engaged is considered. Gov. Dockery, who has spoken at Lone Jack celebrations before, has promised to be present and make an address. Judge Gantt, Congressman W. S. Cowherd, State Senator Charles W. Clarke and the former prosecuting attorney, Herbert S. Hadley, have also accepted invitations to be present and speak. Senator Cockrell was invited, but declined on account of a previous engagement. Five Generations at Christening. A remarkable family reunion took place at Sedalia at the christening of George Sheldon Holland. Five generations were present. Mrs. Eleanor Burke, aged 85, who makes weekly trips to Sedalia from her farm, five miles west of the city; her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Stitzel, of Seattle, Wash., aged 64; Mrs. Stitzel's daughter, Mrs. Edmond P. Sheldon, of Sedalia, aged 43; Mrs. Sheldon's daughter, Mrs. L. E. Holland, aged 20, and her son, George Sheldon Holland, born July 23, 1903. Mrs. Burke, the oldest representative of this remarkable family, removed to Pettis county 35 years ago from Ohio. She resides on a fine farm with a son and daughter, directs the work of the farm and personally superintends the housework. Phelps a Poor Witness. W. H. Phelps, attorney for the Missouri Pacific railway, did not prove a valuable witness before the Jefferson City grand jury investigating boodling. He admitted that he had issued passes to many members of the present legislature. He refused to tell to whom he had issued them, claiming he was too poor to pay the fines the admissions would make him liable to. It was a new way of standing on his constitutional right. To give a pass to a member of the legislature is a misdemeanor punishable by fine and imprisonment. As long as he confesses generally that he has given passes, but states no specific offense, there is no way to prosecute him. If he had given names the way would be open to prosecute, probably. The Missouri Negro Republican league, in session at Springfield, passed resolutions indorsing President Roosevelt and Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk, denouncing lynch law, calling for a negro state university and pleading for the election of Walter S. Dickey, of Kansas City, as republican national committeeman to succeed Richard C. Kerens. Who Gained In This Deal? Harry Jones, of Carthage, saved 11,000 cigar bands and received a $45 shotgun for them from the tobacco trust. At five cents each the cigars cost $50. At wholesale the gun probably cost all of $17. Missouri Day at the Fair. Missouri day at the world's fair will be October 12, 1904, the anniversary of the date upon which Columbus discovered America. Marshall Owls Waterworks. Marshall now owns its waterworks, having purchased the plant for $40,000 recently. A new electric light plant is to be built. No "Fair Dealing" in This: F. A. Vise, postmaster at Fair Dealing, Ripley county, is charged with a shortage of $1,050 in his accounts.

YOUTSEY TURNS STATE'S EVIDENCE Graphically Describes the Assassination of Goebel. TESTIFIES IN POWERS TRIAL Brought Under Guard From the State Penitentiary Where He Is Serving Life Term—Tells of the Details of Goebel's Murder. Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 14.—Under guard of two officers from the state penitentiary, Henry E. Youtsey, serving a life term for the assassination of Gov. Goebel, spent Wednesday night in a room at the Wellington hotel, so that he might be here Thursday morning to go on the stand in the Caleb Powers case. Yontsex on Witness Stand. Youtsey was called to the witness stand at 1:40 o'clock Thursday afternoon. There was a buzz of excitement in the crowded court room as the prisoner stepped from the witness room to the stand. He was pale, but cool. After being sworn Commonwealth Attorney Franklin had the witness state that he has been indicted, tried and convicted of the murder of Wm. Goebel. Franklin then propounded this question: "Mr. Youtsey, if at any time after the election in November, 1900, you heard any suggestion looking toward the murder of Wm. Goebel, tell this jury when and where you heard it, and by whom the suggestion was made. Planning the Assassination. "The first conversation had with me was by the chairman of the republican county committee of Trimble county," replied Youtsey. "He was in one of the first crowds of men who came to Frankfort. He came to my office, and we talke' about Goebel. The man said that he understood that Goebel wore armor of some kind, but that he did not wear it about his d-head, and he ought to be met at the statenouse gate some morning and be swung to a limb." "To whom did you next talk?" "To Dr. W. R. J. Johnson, of Jackson county. He told me what a good shot he was and told me he could kill Goebel. We had a conversation looking to that end. Together we inspected the front room of the executive building, upstairs and down. Snid Gochel Ought to Be Killed. said Goebel ought to be Killed. "I secured permission from W.J. Davison to use the room of the private office of Caleb Powers. Davidson said Goebel ought to be killed, and he, Johnson and I were in there. He said we could have the room at any time for the purpose of killing Goebel. That was the first time I entered the room with Johnson." "Did you try to buy a gun for the purpose of killing Goebel?" "Yes, sir," said the witness, who then went into details in regard to his attempt to purchase from John Mastin, a merchant at Frankfort, a Mauser rifle for the use of Dr. Johnson to shoot Goebel, and also to be used in the case of civil war. Continuing he described the various places about the state capitol where rifles and arms were stored before the shooting. Steel Cartridges Used. He testified that while he was awaiting the arrival of the steel-ball cartridges from Cincinnati to fit Grant Roberts' gun, Johnson wanted to kill Goebel with his pistol on January 15, but William Culton prevented it. On the afternoon of the same day the witness found Johnson in Powers private office. Johnson had the Marlin gun across the backs of two chairs and the window open. Culton was watching at the door. When Culton saw that Youtsey observed him, Culton sent Youtsey to the senate chamber to see if Goebel was still there. He found that Goebel was and so reported and then left them. Goebel was not killed that day, but the next. Ed. Steffe, a messenger boy at Frankfort in 1900, now residing at Columbus, O., told of being on the steps of the capitol at the time of the shooting of Goebel and seeing a gun barrel sticking out of the office window of the secretary of state. TREASURER STOLE $125,000. The Defalcations of Allen, the Missing Treasurer, Will be More Than Supposed. Boston, Mass., Aug. 14.—It is figured that the defalcations of Willard S. Allen, the missing treasurer of the Methodist Preachers' Aid society, will exceed $125,000. The information lodged with the police shows it to be $110,630. The police do not think Allen committed suicide, for the reason that the day before he left for East Boston Allen purchased 12 bottles of a certain medicine which he had been taking for indigestion. RELIC OF AERONAUT ANDRE Portion of Silk Believed to Have Been a Part of the Foolhardy Aeronaut's Balloon. Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 14.—A* returned mining prospector, who has spent the last four years in the Mackenzie Basin, arrived here Wednesday He brought with him a portion of the silk which undoubtedly went into the construction of the balloon used by Andre, the aeronaut who made a dask for the north pole in 1897. MACHEN SPENT $6,000,000 Postoffice Department Makes Another Startling Discovery. Former Superintendent of the Service Held Responsible For Condition of Affairs. Washington, Aug. 14.—Another startling discovery was made, Thursday, by officials of the post office department. Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow has learned to his dismay that of the appropriation of $!2,500,000 for the establishment of rural free delivery routes during the fiscal year, which will end June 30, 1904, only enough remains to allow the establishment of new routes up to January 1 of next year. Then it will be exhausted. A. W. Machen, the former superintendent of the service, now under indictment on various charges, is held responsible for this condition of affairs. He has practically mortgaged the appropriation for the current fiscal year by establishing routes during the last months of his incumbency. Of the $12,500,000 appropriation more than one-half will be required to carry routes already established. The intention of congress was that a million dollars a month should be available for the establishment of new routes this year. As it is, less than $6,000,000 remain for the purpose in question. Under the existing condition of things congress will either have to call a halt on the establishment of the new routes—which is not probable—or pass urgent deficiency bills, which will enable the department to carry out the policy in question. It is believed that the matter will be called to the attention of congress at the coming extraordinary session. LIVE STOCK AT WORLD'S FAIR. Competitions Will be Open to the World, With No Charges for Entries Stalls or Pens. St. Louis, Aug. 14.—The chief of the World's fair department of live stock announces that no charge will be made for entries, stalls or pens in any division of the exposition live stock shows. This applies as thoroughly to poultry, pigeons and dogs as to horses, cattle, sheep and swine. It has been approved as a general rule of the live stock department. It is the intention to make the exhibits of the live stock at next year's World's fair thoroughly worthy of the exposition management's desire to show the world the best that the first years of the twentieth century have to offer, come from where it may, and in this connection to treat exhibitors on a corresponding basis. Doing away with all entry fees and space charges is in furtherance of this idea. Chief Coburn also states that all prizes will be awarded by individual judges or the "one-judge system." Judging will be by comparison throughout. Concerning the selection of judges he says: "The judges will be chosen for their especial qualifications and their intimate knowledge of the characteristics and qualities that make valuable the breeds upon which they will give judgment, and their awards will be final." WORLD'S`GREATEST SYSTEM The Frisco-Rock Island Railroad System Acquires Control of the Seaboard Air Line. New York, Aug. 14.—Once more the railroad map of American has been redrafted. The Seaboard Air line has lost its identity as an independent system, and the Rock Island has emerged as the controlling interest in the new ownership. This most recent affiliation, which includes a perfect understanding with the Mexican Central, makes the Rock Island by far the largest railroad system in the western hemisphere, having a voice in the policy governing 17,297 miles of railroad. New interests which now dominate the Seaboard Air line are the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad, owned by the Rock Island, the Mexican Central railroad and Ladenburg, Talmann & Co., bankers, who represent the former controlling interest in the Seaboard, and also the fiscal agents of the Mexican Central. EIGHTEEN ARE INDICATED Work of the Vermillion County (III.) Grand Jury in Connection With the Danville Riot. Danville, Ill., Aug. 14.—The grand gury investigating the recent lynchings has reported true olls against 18 men and one woman. There are three counts against each: Defacing public property, attempting to enter a building with intent to murder the sheriff and three prisoners, riot and unlawful assemblage. All are under arrest and will be arraigned Saturday morning. FIRED UPON BY CANADIANS The American Fishing Boat Silver Spray Encounters a Canadian Revenue Cutter. Erie, Pa., Aug. 14.—The American fishing boat Silver Spray was discovered in Canadian waters of Lake Erie, Wednesday, by the Canadian revenue cutter Petrel. Capt. Chris Chau of the Silver Spray tried to make a run for it, and succeeded in getting away, but in a badly battered condition, as the Petrel turned loose on him with all her guns. Fired Double Barreled Shotgun Into Large Crowd of People. POLICEMAN KILLSTHESHOOTER Dend and Dying Scattered All Over the Street—Unable to Stop Frightful Carnage Until Policeman Killed the Man. Winfield, Kas., Aug. 14—Gilbert Twigg, aged 20 years, supposed to be insane, appeared on the principal street at nine o'clock Thursday night with a double-barreled shotgun and fired both charges deliberately into a crowd of 5,000 people who were listening to a band concert. He killed three persons fatally injured three and shot 20 others of whom six may die. Twigg was himself killed by a policeman. Men and Women Panic-Stricken. The band had just finished playing a waltz when Twigg stepped out from an alley a half block distant, and, deliberately taking aim at the bandstand, fired two shots. R. E. Oliver, a bandman, fell at the first shot, but the crowd not realizing what had happened, rushed toward the killer, believing that there had been an accidental shooting of some kind. As the crowd closed in the crazed man discharged two more shots at them causing a scattering in every direction. With the crowd fleeing the man stood firing at random in every direction. Men and women howled and shrieked and ran, but no one seemed able to stop the frightful carnage until Pollenstein George Nichols confronted Twigg and fired a bullet into his head. Before life expired the demented man drew a revolver from his pocket and fired a shot into his own body. Streets Filled With Dead and Dying. The dead and dying were by this time scattered all over the street, and the 'rightened people, believing that shooting was coming from every quarter sought safety in flight. It was fully an hour before they realized what had hapened and recovered sufficiently to take care of the injured. Gilbert Twigg was a miller by trade, having learned his trade 12 years ago at a little town 15 miles north of this city. He came to Winfield shortly afterward and became an employee of the Baden mills, where he worked for a number of years. The boys around town commonly referred to him as "Crazy Twigg," but no one thought him dangerous. Later he went to New Mexico, returning in time to enlist as a soldier for the Philippines. WARDEN TO BE DISCHARGED. Gov. Terrell of Georgia Takes Decisive Action and Requests Prison Committee to Dismiss Allgood. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 14.—Warden Allgood will be discharged from his position at the state prison farm, and there will be no more whipping of female convicts in Georgia as a result of the story told by Mamie de Criss to the investigation committee Thursday. The story alleging that she was whipped because she rejected the advances of Warden Allgood has caused such a shock throughout the state as has never before been experienced. In response to hundreds of telegrams denouncing Allgood's brutality, a resolution was immediately passed by the legislature forbidding the use of the lash on female convicts. Gov. Terrell has requested that the prison committee discharge Allgood, and this request will be grapted. It is also said that Mamie de Criss will be pardoned, and it is certain that the developments in her case will eliminate many of the brutalities which have disgraced Georgia's convict system. FIGHTING EXTRADITION Gov. Peabody Refuses to Recall Warrant—Habeas Corpus Secured to Prevent Railroading Prisoner. Denver, Col., Aug. 14.—Gov. Peabody refused to recall the warrant granted by him for extradition to Massachusetts of Francis L. Burton, a mining man who has been convicted in the Massachusetts courts of having obtained $2,500 under false pretenses from the Boston and Alhany Railroad Co. A writ of habeas corpus was secured in the district court to prevent Burton being hurried out of the state. This will have to be disposed of before he can be taken east. After sentence is passed upon him application will be made to the governor of Massachusetts for a pardon for him. Gen. Fitzsimons Very little Chicago, Aug. 14—Gen. Chas. Flissimons, a prominent contractor, formerly brigadier-general of the First brigade Illinois national guard, is critically ill from a fall recently. It is said that his trouble, which baffles the physicians, must result in his death in a short time unless speedy relief is found Elizabeth H. Purdy Oneonta, N. Y., Aug. 14—Mrs. Elizabeth B.

Bugbes, in Springfield, (Mass.). Republican. pe Tre KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES A Tale of Wall Street and the Tropics By FREDERICK U. ADAMS CHAPTER XVIL—Cossixuep. Mu. Kent pointed at the rocks. Stretched out at full length on a lat slab of sandstone was a lean, lithe, dun-colored beast. He looked and acied like a big cat. When Sid- ney approached the large round head was lowered over the edge of the tock, and the animal was intently watching Mr. Kent and the deer. A moment later he rose to his feet, stretched ont his neck, and emitted 4 half-yawn and half-growl. Sidney Wrought the rifle to his shoulder. The beast snarled and poised for a leap to the ground below. The shot rang out. ‘The big cat turned his hend like a flash and bit at his shoulder as if a bee had stung him. He gave a roar, leaped into the air and foll in a heap at the bottom of the rocks. Sidney advanced toward him slowly, but no eaution was nec- esary. The mountain Hon was dead “It seemed a shame to kill him,” said Sidney, as he lifted one of his big mows.” “He looked fine on that lle didn't look so blamed fine to moe.” said Mr, Kent. It was noom, and although the sun Was warm, Sidney was reluetant to Teiurn to the bungalow without taking one more attempt to pene- trate the jungle to the west, and if Possible reach the erest of the hills Which could be seen beyond. He im- ivined that from that point of van- tage it would be possible to deter- nine the approximate shape of the ‘ond, and hoped to identify it by ® comparison with those "islands shown on the maps which he had Sound in the books of the bungalow ‘brary, “They therefore decided to “tisty their hunger with bananas tl pawpaws. ‘They found the lat- lor vory refreshing. Sidney knocked two from a tree, They were the size {a small pumpkin, and the flavor Yas much the same as that of a nut- weg muskmelon, ‘These, with fresh Water from a spring, were sufficient to stay their hunger, _ this is the first Robinson Crusoe heal we have had,” said Mr. Kent. ‘hers i not much of the romantic in my disposition, but T rather like this sort of thing for a change. But enly fora change, T would rather be “ast away in a bungalow with elec- ‘vie fins’ and a eooking range, than cn a desert reet with a shotgun and “waked savage, To my mind, old a Crusoe was in mighty hard It would not do to leave the deer one there being no place to hide ‘ere wild animals could not reach the carcass, and it was agreed that Mr. Kent should guard his trophy and attempt to shoot some grouse, quail or other game, while Sidney completed the search for an outlet through the jungle. Mr. Kent said he would take chances with a shot- gun, and agreed to fire twice in rapid succession if he needed assistance. Sidney started for the cliffs and promised to return within two or three hours. He scaled the rocks and again stood on the height overlooking the valley. The bluff extended far as he could see, but as. Sidney continued south he found that it gradually de- creased in height until it finally came to the level of the “park.” The edge of the jungle was irregular, but at no place was he able to pene- trate it a distance exceeding 200 yards from the edge of the cliffs, Gradually he worked to the cast. Here the jungle was not so thick, but yet it was impossible to force a way through it. ‘Thus Sidney toiled along. At times he saw deer, and could easily have shot them, for they were absolutely fearless, and seemed devoured by curiosity. He was startled once by the sound of a snapping twig be- hind him, and turned only to see a splendid spotted deer not two rods distant. Sidney threw up his hands and “shooed” him away. The buck ran a few yards and stopped, but did not follow up his study of human species. Suddenly Sidney came upon the reservoir. He had made the circuit of all that part of the park south of the brook. It did not take long to complete the survey of the re- maining portion. ‘The “park” was an island in a jungle, which would yield a passage only to an ax. He rejoined Mr. Kent, who proudly ex- hibited an assortment of game, which spoke well for his marksman- ship. He had several grouse and three splendid pheasants. Sidney told what he had learned, and they started for the bungalow. ‘The birds were strung across the back of the deer. It was a heavy load and they took frequent rests. With faces and hands scratched, and necks and cheeks sunburned, they reached the bungalow about five o'clock in the afternoon. The colony was in a furor of ex- citement. Mr. Pence was in great peril! In fact. he might be dead! Mr. Rockwell hurriedly explained what had happened as he ran with Sidney and Mr. Kent to the stone pier, where Mr. Carmody and others were launching a raft which had been constructed in great haste. Mr. Pence announced, when he reluctant- ly started along the beach, that he would not remain away later than noon. He said he might be back sooner, since the chances were that the tide would rise so high as to render his later return difficult and dangerous. He did not appear in camp at noon, and half an hour later Mr. Carmody took the marine glasses and went to the beach. Out near the gate to the bay he saw Mr. Pence standing ona rock, seemingly looking into the water. He saw Mr Pence go ashore and disappear for a time in a thicket. Then he returned to the rock and remained for nearly an hour. Mr. Carmody thought from his motions that he was fishing, but it was Jearned he had taken no tackle with him. Mr. Rockwell, Mr. Haven and \ ees of AWK AN i JZ SOUR 6 eg Bs are \ eS ISSR SPRR SE See SEZ THEY FOUND A eboGHING FIG BOUND | CROUCHIN others came down to the beach and watched the figure across the bay. ‘They were equally mystified. At last’ Mr. Pence again disappeared. In a few moments he reappeared, and frantically waved a handker- chief on the end of a stick, as an evident signal of distress. During this time. those on the stone pier noted with alarm that the tide had risen, so that it was impos- sible to walk along the beach at the base of the cliffy It was 2t once de- cided to build a 747. and resene Mr. Pence, For some time he had not been seen, neither had the flag of distress been waved from the rock. Rough paddles were chopped from pieces of lumber, and the raft was launched with Sidney Hammond, Vincent, Mr, Carmody and Mr. Mor- ton as the life-saving crew. The tide was strong against them, and it was half an hour before they approached the plate where Mr. Pence was last seen, They called his name, and were Gelighted to hear a faint re- sponse from behind the rocks, ‘The rescuers paddled around and found a crouching figure on a narrow ledget just above the steadily rising tide. Simon Pence was speechless with terror, The ledge on which he stood was now an island, but Sidney ob- served that at low tide it must have teen connected with the shore. They placed tha third member of the com- Tnittee. on exploration on the raft, and aided by the fide made a quick voyage back to the camp. By ‘this time Mr. Pence had partially recor- ered. und under the stimulus of @ Se Wens Sem tae Snore ene Sr. 8 sharp lookout for alligators and things like that.” said Mr. Pence. “Nothing happened, however, and I went clear out to those big rocks by the ocean, There the sea comes right im and you cannot get past. ‘The rocks drop down into deep water, and there is no sign of a beach. I started back and decided to go out on that rock where you found me.” Mr, Pence paused and shuddered at the thought. “It ran out from the shore like a pier,” he continued. “I went out at the end and sat down to watch the fishes. The water was clear as crystal, and the bottom was white sand. It was cool in the shade of the rock and I enjoyed it. I noticed a funny piece of quartz in the rock, and took out my knife to see if I could pry it out. In doing so 1 pulled out a coin and it struck the rock and bounded into the water. I could see it as it zigzagged through the water. A fish chased after it, and for a moment I thought he was going to swallow it, but Ie didn’t.” Mr. Pence took another small taste of brandy to steady his nerves. “I could see wRere the nickel lay on the white sand,” he said. “I knew it was a nickel, as I had but 11 cents and a bridge ticket when I left New York, and when I counted my money out on that rock I had only six cents. ‘That proved it was a nickel; and besides, it looked like a nickel. I went—” “Yon know what a nickel looks like all right,” said Mr. Kent. “Go on with your story. It grows interest- ing.” *I did not propose to lose that money,” said Mr. Pence, regarding Mr. Kent with suspicion. “I could see it as plain as I'see you. It was in abont ten feet of water. T went ashore and cut a pole about 16 feet long, trimmed it up nicely, and went back. T reached down into the wa- ter and started to poke the nickel along towards the other end of the rock where the water was shallow and I could reach it. It was slow work, Sometimes I would poke it into the sand, and one time I was sure it was lost, but I dug it up again, At last I got it around to the other side of the rock, but was astonished to find that the water was five feet deep there, Then I thought of the tide! I jumped to the other side. To my horror I saw that the water was three feet over the place I had crossed, and was running like a millrace!” “Did you get the nickel?” asked Mr. Kent. “No,” said Mr. Pence sadly. “An eddy of water whirled the sand over it while I was away. I put my hand- kerchief on the pole and waved for help. In my excitement I dropped the pole and it floated away with my handkerchief. ‘The tide kept on ris- ing until I could not stay on that side of the rock, so I went to the place where you found me. I ex- peeted every minute that an alligator, or a crocodile, or a shark would come along and get me. It was awful.” “Yon should be more careful with your money, Simon,” said Mr, Kent. Syon let me keep that bridge ticket for you. With your eareless, reckless disposition in’ money matters you will be so redneed in cireumstances when you reach New York that you will have to walk home.” Mx. Pence looked at the millionaire operator doubtfully but said nothing. He reached! intovhis pocket, produced the six pennies and the red bridge ticket, and went to his room where he placed them in the inner recesses of a drawer. During the absence of the relief committee Mr. Kent dressed the deer with much deftness, and Mr. Haven had, after some trouble, prepared three of the birds for the roasting pan. The range glowed with heat, and Sidney aided in the preparation of a dinner which had much of prom- ise. The explorers had brought back two dozen bananas, and these graced the table.. Pawpaws were picked from a tree near the bungalow. In about two hours the table was set, with a huge joint of roast venison and browned potatoes as the piece de resistance. This was flanked by a grouse and the gold-breasted trum- peter, which had fallen before the prowess of Mr. Kent. Sidney had essayed some “baking powder bis- cuits,” and had attained a culinary triumph. These served with jellies, some fine claret, and topped off with bananas, pawpaws and coffee com- pleted a dinner which will not be forgotten by those who gathered around the board in that tropical bungalow. : (Cre Se. ‘THE HURRICANE. “What does the exploration com- mittee do to-day?” asked Mr, Kent, next morning as he pushed his chair back from the breakfast table and bit the end from a cigar. “Morton,” he said, as he finished the last of his coffee, “those venison chops were fine! Nature must have hesi- tated a long while before she de- cided whether to make you a finan- cier or a cook. Iam not sure that she did not make a mistake. Come on, Hammond, you camot find ont where we are by studying that map. Let’s get busy.” “I do not care to be officiorts,” said Sidney, “but T wish some of you gentlemen would give our committee your assistance for u day or two. The work £ have in mind properly belongs to the housekeeping com- mittee anyway. The ‘park, as we call it, is our game and fruit pre- serve, In an hour any one can shoot grouse, quail, pheasants, or deer, and can pick all the bananas we need. ‘The trouble is to get there, and to brine back these table luxuzies. ‘The $$ trail along the brook Is almost fm passable. ‘Two men with axes cam put it in good shape in a day. I would like to explore the east shore of the island with Mr. Kent. Mr, Rockwell, you are President of the Social Island Colony. I suggest that you detail members to do this work on the trail.” e “Certainly,” answered the mag- nate. “Mr. Morton and I will put the trail in good shape. Mr. Car mody is working on his plans for a boat, and will not need assistance for a day or two. How far is it from here to the ‘park? ” “About a mile, I should say,” said Sidney. “Follow the brook’ until you come to the reservoir. I would take a gun along. You may meet one of Mr. Kent's ‘painter’ friends.” ‘This being settled, Sidney prepared to start across the. bay. Mr. Vin- cent expressed a wish to help on the work of exploration, and it waa decided that matters could be ex- pedited by forming two parties— one to explore the coast north of the gateway of the bay, and the other to work along the south shore. It was therefore agreed that Mr. Pence and Mr. Vincent should take the south shore and Mr. Hammond and Mr. Kent the north shore. Mr. Pence protested vigorously against doing any more exploring, but Mr. Kent cut him short and reminded him that he was under military dis- cipline. “In cases like this,” he said, “it is always customary to shoot those who disobey orders. I have always been your friend, Pence, as you Know, but if the chairman of ‘the committee on exploration ordered me to shoot you I would do it with cheerful promptness.” Mr. Kent examined his rifle criti cally and looked serious. Mr. Pence said he was only joking, and would be glad to go. Each member of the expedition provided himself with a luncheon, and at eight o'clock they got on board the raft and paddled across the bay. The sun was not warm and shone through a peculiar saffron haze. The air was motion- less. It was decided that Pence and Vincent should be landed first, and that Hammond and Kent should re- turn for them with the raft not later than five o'clock in the after- noon. All were provided with ri- fles and ammunition. ‘hey soon reached the shore at a point where it was possible to seate the rocks overlooking the ocean. Mr. Pence and Mr. Vincent left the raft and it was agreed that they should return at about five o'clock ‘They climbed the rocks and disap- peared in the forest. Sidney and Mr. Kent pushed away from’ shore and headed the raft for the inlet. ‘There were no clouds in the sky bat the sun was almost obscured in a golden haze. ‘They noted an un usual number of birds flying past seemingly coming in from the ocean ‘There was not a breath of air stir- ring. “L believe a storm is brewing,” said Sidney. “It is not in sight yet,” replied his companion, as ne speared ineffeet- vally at a passing fish. “E am going to come out here to-morrow and catch some of these fellows. 1 won- der what we can use for bait?” “Che brook is full of minnows,’ said Sidney. “I noticed a dip net among the things in the storeroom. Grubs, worms, or almost anything will do for bait.” “We might try mosquitoes,” said Mr. Kent. “Some of them are large enough.” [To Be Continued.} Sunflower Rhetoric. A brief for the state in an early Nebraska case indulges in the follow- ing prairie flowers of fancy: “Plaintiffs in error are afraid that the honor and dignity of the state will suffer, and théy invoke for the claimants broad principles of natural equity, and the claim that neither the laws governing courts ner con stitution apply to them. The log: ical sequence is this—that persons who hold claims against the state are a favored class, who can alone make wings of ‘justice and right’ to fly to that mystic region above and beyond the trammels of Jaw, and where sueh unjust things as con- tracts and written constitutions do not exist; but where for them a straight and narrow pathway leads to the treasury, whose doors, with- out stint or delay, turn softly om golden hinges to admit them. Yet, if I do not very much mistake this court, ‘these wings’ will unfeather in their flight, and claimants against the state must fall to a common level with all other litigants, and stand up to the rack where is fed that good old fodder of ‘justice and right’ as administered by our courts.” SEE ELECT The editor of the Statford, Kan, Republican, was married recently, and realized that some explanation was due to his subseribers, so he wrote: “About the swiftest poem that ever came clattering down the pike contained this line: ‘She cast the pike that tomahawked my sonl’ Tolerable fierce, you will say, and yet that-expresses it to a dot. We didn't think anything like that could he done to us, but who eonld guard against a stroke of paralysis? We know where the poet got the insplea- tion, He'd been there. Ab, the re- sistless eloquence of that glance! And the poet might have taken up the Kansas girl's smile, and used it as a warp for his poem. It’s a dead sure ‘fetcher.’.

Words hat Sound Harshly, But That Are a True Talisman to eaeocea a sane The words haven't a pleasant sound. They seem harsh and curt, perhaps im: pertinent. Yet they form a talisman to success in life. Let us see. Youaresup- posed to have some business that is worth minding. It is follow to think that it will run without any care. It deserves a close attention, not to the exclusion of every other thing in live, but a watchful interest that includes every detail. You must be its master, or you are its serv- ant, if not its slave. It makes demands, but it Is capable of returns, if rightfully “worked, The ore isin the mountain, and only earnest delving will bring it into “your possession. It is to be regarded as “worthy of your best effort. It must awaken confidence, perhaps enthusiasm. ‘Then it will occupy you so you will not have time to waste in folly. Again, it is your business that is to be minded, not your neighbor's. Much of trouble in this life would be saved if peo- ple would look more closely to their own affairs and less to those of others for whom they have no responsibility what- ever. It is your business to deal hon- estly in the sight of God and man. It is your business to do, in your appointed place, the duty set before you and not to aspire to that for which you may have little or no special fitness. It is you “business to see that your own life is cor: rect, as judged by the Gospe} standard and not to be going about with the Bible scales weighing other people. It it your business to grow in grace daily, and not to introvert yourself and con- tinually to look at the badness that. ir “spite of every effort, you will find crop- | ping out so often. It is your busines: to make the world better, ir. so far as in “you lies, by example as well as by pre- rept. We are too prone to think that it 4s not so very important that our words and acts should correspond. ‘There will be times when you will think that if only you could be called to do some great thing in life, how eagerly and how well, perhaps, you would do it But the ability to do great things comes by using one’s powers in smaller or less important matters. It Is the old story of beginning with the light weight and con- tinuing day by day until the hefbiest weight seems no burden, because the daily increase was so small. We are qualified thus to heed the call that may come to accept trusts of great magni- tude. Ifthe true metal is in us it will be refined until its value is known and its best use determined. (lt fs a great achievement to know your place, and to be satistied in it. We are so continually given to wanting the place occupied by some one else, and this leads to envy and covetousness. There is a proper ambition, without greed, honest and right, and justified by human and divine law. Without it there is idleness and ignorance and poverty. With it there is industry and intelligence and wealth. There is no excuse for absence of a right ambition, but you may be as. sured that with it you will always find that {ts owner is one who observes the motto, “Mind Your Own Business.”— Philadelphia Young People. NUGGETS FROM THE PURITANS Sohn Baptist—the buckle of the law and Gospel. Repentance must be death to sin and a resurrection to justice. In some men’s discourses you cannot see matter for words. ‘The business of religion is more despatched by prayers than by dis- putes. Eye not the stream thou wadest through, but the firm land thou tend- est to. The high heaven may. be seen through a low lattice; and so may a large heart in a little gift. All the fee that our Savior cailed for, for His cures, was, “Go and teli” what God hath done for thee—N. Y, Observer. Demand Expression. Education and religion agree in con- eviving life broadly—tife is right feel- ing and right willing as well as right thinking. They agree in demanding that the inner life come to outward expression—Prof. G. A. Coe, Nortb- western University. “PROVE ALL THINGS.” Words of the Apostle Paul No Justt- Acation for the Attitude of ‘dha Aaeaetin. ‘The words of the great apostle are often quoted as an excuse for that at- titude of mind which demands that all ‘moral and religious questions be settled by incontestable evidence. Asa matter of fact, says the Chicago Interior, Paul simply admonishes the Christian friends to whom the epistle is addressed, that religion must be justified or condemned by its palpable fruitage, The test of a creed is always a practical one! “What Joes It produce?” It is well for us to remember that the demand made upon Christianity, to put its credentials above dispute, is not made, can not be made, upon either philosophy or science. ‘There are no more “missing links” in the evidences of Christianity than in the data upon which men build up their theories of the universe. The atom is as invisible as God. “No man hath beheld the atom at any time.” The only “proof” of the ex- istence of ether is that without suppos- ing it to exist we can not explain the transmission of light and heat. ‘The in- telligent Darwinian never claimed for his fundamental tenet anything more than that it was “a working hypothe- sis.” ‘The sclentist who would demand as a basis for his studies premises dem- onstrated with the clearness of a prob- Jem in mathematics, must go out of business. Science as truly as religion begins with postulates, not axioms; probabilities, not demonstrations; or as Tyndall put it in his famous presi- dential address, with “assumed poten- tialities.”” Beyond this we must remember that the value of such proof depends in a great measure upon the make-up of the person to whom it is presented. Lawyers place as much emphasis upon the se- lection of a jury as upon the citation of iecisions or the procuring of testimony To certain minds, as Shakespeare tells us, “‘trifles light as air” become as con- vineing as “proofs from holy writ.” The disposition to hold on is no more a hin- drance to the discovery of truth than a lisposition to let go. Love of novelty is as perversive of judgment as is a dogged resolve to stand by the old. We havea neighbor so open to conviction that he has already belonged to two Christiaii and two pagan sects; and what he will become to-morrow depends upon what is advocated by the next fluent talker whom he may meet. He is only an ex- aggerated form of that disposition we find in many, a disposition to accept the last theory broached provided it be backed by some capable apologist; and he looks upon all those from whom he so easily parts company as narrow and untintelligent. What every man needs above all else is a base-line from which he may meas- ure all angles and distances. Agnostic- ism never satisfied anybody and never will. ‘The choice—and in the end ft ls a choice rather than a demonstration— ites between Deism and Atheism. What think ye of Christ? is the next step, All other questions will be found re- lated to these two. NOT LABELED. Opportunity Seldom Comex Except in the Course of Daty Faith- ‘tty Deter’. Opportunities for service are nut labeled. They do not come with any kind of mark that one might distin- guish them. One never recognizes an ‘opportunity until he looks backward It is quite often the case that what appears to be a great opportunity i: only a bubble, likely to explode as you handle it. What then, do we mean by opportunities? What can we mean when we say to those about us—or to ourselyes—that this is a time of oppor tunity, that {t shall be seized eagerly and quickly? What is meant by the old representation of opportunity as flying being with a lock of hair over the forehead, and the head bald be: hind? Well, these are only parts of ‘@ great truth. Opportunity, says the Baptist Union, is nothing other than the faithful performance of daily duty without special flare of trumpets, ot thought of opportunity. Many of the best and truest people of the world never had what we call “opportuni- ties;” they reached the goal by the steady steps in the pathway of duty ‘True, there were places where the tides changed, perhaps epochs in their lives, but they never knew when (hr tide turned or when the great changes came; they were ready for everything for they were faithful in all things Opportunity is not labeled; it is not s happy chance; but he who is faithtut in the small things will find the large things come to him, he scarcely knows how. And that is the great promis psa lig mete ie Disappointment. God keeps a school for his children here on earth, and one of the best teachers is disappointment. My friend, when you and I reach our Father's house, we shall look back and see that the sharp-voiced, rough-visaged teach- er, disappointment, was one of the est guides to train us for it. He gave us hard l9ssons; he often used the rod; he often led us into thorny paths; hé sometimes stripped off a load of lux: uries; but that only made us travel the freer and the faster on our heaven- ward way. He sometimes led us dows into the valley of the death shadow, but never did the promises read , sc sweetly as when spelled out by the eye of faith in that very valley. Nowhere did he lead us so often, or teach uz such sacred lessons, as at the cross of Christ. Dear, old, rough-handed teacher! We will build a monument to thee yet, and crown it with gar lands, and inscribe on it: “Blessed be the memory of Disappointment."— Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D. D. St. Louis Palladium.

T., has met and passed, another grand body, the Knights of Pythias, will meet in St. Louis on August 31. This powerful organization will make its session one to be remembered. A grand time is anticipated. Companies from all sections of the United States will assemble here. A parade a mile long will pass through some of the most important streets of the city. Hohen's grove has been engaged for one week, for the purpose of entertaining strangers and native St. Louisans. A drama, followed by a grand ball, will be held at the exposition. This order is composed of men from every walk of life, from the professional to the humblest workman. They are joined, however, under the same band of F. C. and B., and St. Louis heartily welcomes all who assemble at this, one of this city's most notable events. "THE PALLADIUM'S ROUGH ARGUMENT." The article appearing on July 25 in The Palladium of Nashville, Tenn., edited by Dr. D. L. Martin, and the criticism of J. Thomas Turner, of The Clarion, are two of the most heated arguments that have recently appeared in Negro papers. We heartily agree with Dr. D. L. Martin in many of the points put forth in his argument, and we are of the opinion that J. Thomas Turner, if he is a man of any intelligence and reason whatever, agrees with him also. But, as is characteristic of the Negro, he will not acknowledge the truths concerning himself with a view toward remedying them, but will go blindly on, purposely obvious of his failings, until he finds himself so deep in the mire that redemption is hopeless. Dr. Martin tells plain facts, and anyone who has dealt with the Negro, not necessarily from birth, but from years of maturity, knows that he tells the truth. One can be of Negro parentage and then not know the race. As Dr. Martin says: "The continued agitation of the Negro problem is doing the Negro great harm." Any white or black man who makes a practice of reading the daily papers, and keeps account of the current arguments for and against the race, is unconsciously, perhaps, influenced against the opposite race. When two men approach a railway lunch counter, as the doctor says, to secure a lunch, the white man accidently looks around and sees a Negro eating beside him. Perhaps he has just finished reading an article against the Negro. The first thought that files into his brain is that: "Why, that's a Negro. I won't eat with him." Meanwhile the Negro thinks to himself: "I'll bet that white man will refuse to eat because I am here." If the attention of both men had not been kept riveted on the Negro problem, neither one of these men would have given the other a thought—but being intent upon securing food, would have eaten it, totally oblivious of the other. Mr. Turner asks: "Does this narrow-minded man (referring to Dr. Martin) attempt to say that the great National Business league, with Booker T. Washington as president, and composed of the brainiest, wealthiest and most advanced men of the race, in thought, industry, trade and commerce, will be a convention of 'bagpipe' element of Negroes?" Maybe Dr. Martin doesn't mean to say so, but we would venture to say that nine out of every ten Negroes think it among that class. Arguments on every side are heard criticising Washington's views relative to mechanical education. Many contend that the Negro has been receiving a mechanical education ever since his advent into this country, and has had quite enough of it, consequently, even Booker Washington is not exempt from classification with the "bag-pipe" element. Mr. Thomas, like many others of our race by a Colored man with a sort of Race by a Colored man with a sort of "I'd-like-to-choke-the-l-fe-out-of- you." feeling. Dr. Martin doubtless expected some such attitude when he said: "There is no deceit in the heart of the writer of this article." Any sound-minded Negro will acknowledge the truth or Dr. Martin's statements. One of the most-trying ordeals for some people to undergo is the acknowledgment of a fault, and some of our race are the best demonstrators of that failing. No educated and refined Negro wishes to associate with uncouth members of our race; and a common Negro coming in contact with a refined one, instead of realizing the difference, and seeking to reach the same plane, permits himself to entertain envious thoughts concerning him. As Dr. Martin said: "They speak all manner of evil against their own merchants, lawyers, doctors and teachers." There's no use in following Jupiter's plan of hanging the faults of others before our faces and our own behind our backs. We should remedy our own failings first, and those who are too thick-headed to be cognizant of their own short-comings, need an argument like Dr. Martin's to open their eyes.

The size and grace of this building adds materially to the beauty and attractiveness of the group of buildings forming the main picture of the fair. Van Brunt & Howe, of Kansas City, are the architects. It was the first exposition building for whose erection a contract was let. It was built by the Rountree Construction Co. at a cost of about $650,000. It was practically completed on Dedication Day, April 30, 1903, and was occupied by the members of the national guard who picketed the grounds and participated in the military parade on that occasion.

When other fruit is scarce bananas are very useful and most popular. These dishes are all excellent, says the Chicago News: Banana fritters—Peel and slice the fruit lengthwise, using a silver knife. Scatter the slices with sugar and over all put a little rum, liquor or wine, and soak for a quarter of an hour. Have ready a good frying batter which has soaked an hour. Dip each piece of banana into it and fry to a golden brown in deep fat. Drain and serve on a napkin, with sugar. Baked bananas—Select large ripe bananas, cut off all stalk and put on a piece of buttered paper in a steady oven. Bake slowly till the skins begin to split, then remove all the skin, put the fruit on an entree dish and garnish with stiffly beaten cream. Scatter over glaze cherries. Bananas and sirup—Heat in a china-lined saucepan one pint of red currant and raspberry juice, sweetened to taste. (This may be made from preserve if desired.) When boiling drop into it one dozen peeled bananas and simmer very gently for 20 minutes. Add a few drops of lemon juice. Remove the bananas, boil up the sirup, and when it is thick pour over the fruit. N. B.—To produce the sirup from preserves boil it in water and strain through a cloth. In a Case of Poison Ivy. Ia a case of poison ivy try a solution of baking soda or a weak solution of sugar of lead. Mackerel brine from the kit in the farm cellar or a tomato from the vines will also be found效郁. THERE is only one good way to bathe a baby. That only a few mothers know about it is no fault of mothers as a class, but is due to the fact that there is only one physician in Chicago whose nurses are trained in it. For (the truth must be told) it was a father, not a mother, who thought out this bit of nursery wisdom. It's as simple, too, as it is good. This is how you do it: Add to the furnishing of your nursery a small table. An ordinary kitchen table, with a few inches sawed off its legs will do, although one that is lighter and more easily handled is better. The only real requisite is that BATHING BABY IN THE TUB. It be oblong and large enough to hold the baby. When it is time for the bath draw the table up coily to the open fire, if the day is chill enough to warrant a fire. Cover it first with a small woolen blanket and then with a big towel towel. Arrange the towel lengthwise, so that one edge comes just to the edge of the table nearest you, while the rest falls over the edge next the fire, so that it may be warming. The best kind of tub is made of rubber cloth, draped on a folding frame. This is so soft that the tender skin cannot be hurt by contact with its surface. But it is likewise expensive, and an ordinary tin or enamel tub answers every purpose. Whatever kind your tub may be, bring it to the right of the table, conveniently near. Have at hand a bowl containing pure castile soap and a soft sponge and a soft linen towel. Last of all, bring in the water—and the bath thermometer! It will tell no lies about the temperature of the water, and a hand—even a careful maternal hand—sometimes does, as the howls and shivers of many a miserable infant have borne witness. When the thermometer says that the water is just 100 degrees hang it up and close the door. You are ready to begin. Take off the little clothes. Don't be afraid if the room is warm (and it HIGH ART IN SERVING. Raspberry Ice Cream in Pineapple Shell In a Novelty of Genuine Attractiveness.

Colds don't come that way. And babies have such a horrid way of growing up. Now put that baby on the table on its back. (Apologies to Miss Baby.) With clear water wash his face and head, using plenty of water, so that he blinks and splutters under the deluge he'll have no doubt of the nature of the event that's befalling him. Wipe his face on the linen towel, so that it may not become chapped. Then take soap—lots of soap—and water, too, upon the sponge and cover his whole small person with a good lather, paying special attention to the creases, where the fat rolls up on his neck and arms and legs. When he looks like a frosted cake, he's ready for the tub. While he is splashing in the warm water move the bath towel over so that a dry portion rests on the table. Now, with a last dip and splash for good measure, lift him out on the table, fold the dry end of the towel over him, and rub him briskly. You can polish him off in your lap if you want to, using the little old linen towel to supplement the bath towel, which will be by this time pretty wet. Slip a cotton pad across your knee before you take him, and when he is at last thoroughly dry give him a good rubbing—back and legs, and shoulders, especially — with the palm of your hand. He'll like it, and so will you. No powder! If he be thoroughly dried he doesn't need it. If you've left any small pools of water on him all the powder in the world won't dry them out, and you'll have a raw and angry looking skin to remind you of your carelessness or haste, or both. Now he's ready for his clothes, his bottle, and his nap. If you've chosen your bath hour wisely, so that he is neither too hungry nor too sleepy, you'll find that your baby will enjoy every moment of such a bath, since from beginning to end he has been perfectly comfortable. The only time he is likely to display any indignation is when his clothes go on—the protest of the free man, the untrammeled savage, against the hampering conventions of civilized life! Now just a word as to the hour of the bath, and this lecture is ended. Everybody knows that a bath, properly given, is most soothing and sleep inducing. All mothers count on this fact—or should—to help them beguile their offspring into a long morning's nap. As most little babies are ready for a feeding between nine and ten o'clock in the morning, a good half-hour before "bottle time" is the right time for the plunge. It sometimes happens, however, that some slight irregularity in the feeding occurs, and the bottle must be given an hour or more before "bottle time." To far too many mothers this means trotting to sleep, or rocking to sleep, or worst of all, walking to sleep, afterwards. Don't! After the baby is clean and dressed give him warm milk in his bottle. He'll take it most gratefully and be off into dreamland in no time, while you go away to your marketing serene in the consciousness of good deeds well done—Culture Tribune An Ill Wind That Blew Somebody Good.

The St. Mary's and the Saratoga are two of the three American schoolships on the Atlantic coast intended exclusively for nautical schools to train boys for the merchant marine. The Saratoga is controlled by the state of Pennsylvania and the state of Massachusetts controls the Enterprise; but the St. Mary's is maintained by the board of education of the city of New York. The nautical school on the St. Mary's is under the supervision of the United States—that is to say, the captain is a detailed officer of the United States navy. The school is intended for boys who in- SCHOOL SHIP ST.

Rooster Killed by Lightning. The popular idea that feathers are a nonconductor of electricity, laboring under which delusion many people scary about lightning climb under feather beds, even in summer, was exploded in a very remarkable manner during a heavy thunderstorm at Chambersburg, Pa. While the storm was at its worst a bolt of lightning struck the center of the public square and landed on a rooster, which was running across the opening. It hit him square on the head, and, of course, killed him instantly, and also burned all the feathers off his back and sides. Jealous.

A Beautiful Bird Which Usually Stands on One Leg and Tucks the Other Up Out of Sight. Flamingoes in full plumage are most gorgeous birds, for their top feathers are almost scarlet, some of those on the wing are jet black and underneath some are white. A full-grown bird is often from five to six feet in height. When they are flying they stretch out their long necks and legs as far as possible, which makes them look very funny. This particular kind that you see here comes from the south of BUDDY FLAMINGOES. France and Spain. They make a noise very like geese. And they build themselves curious nests of mud and earth scraped together so as to form a small hillock with a hole on the top. Sometimes the hillock is as much as 23 or 24 inches high. In the countries where they are found they go about in flocks of 300 or 400 together. When they are feeding sentinel flamingoes stand at each end of the flock to give notice of any approaching danger. These sentinels don't attempt to eat till the others have finished, but stand with necks erect and heads constantly turning, always keeping a sharp lookout. When flying they form themselves into bands, each band evidently being under the command of a leader, and in spite of their long necks and legs they are wonderfully graceful. Like lots of other long-legged birds, flamingoes love to stand on one leg and tuck the other up out of sight.—Philadelphia Globe. Willie's Bad Table Manners. William's table manners were notoriously bad—so bad that he was facetiously accused of spoiling the manners of a pet coon chained in the back yard. He gripped his fork as though afraid it was going to get away from him, and he used it like a hay-fork. Reproaches and entreaties were in vain. His big sister's pleading: "Please, William, don't eat like a pig," made no impression upon him. One day William and his bosom friend, a small neighbor dined alone, and William was heard to say in a tone of great satisfaction as he planted both elbows on the table: "Say, Harry, they're nobody here but us. Let's eat like hogs and enjoy ourselves." —Caroline Lockhart, in Lippincott's. Baby Alice Had an Idea.

Lesson in the International Series for August 16, 1903—Saul Tries to Kill David. THE LESSON TEXT. 5. And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. 6. And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music. 7. And the women answered one another, they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his tea thousands. 8. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but those what can he have more but the kingdom? 9. And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. 10. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house; and David played with his instruments; and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. 11. And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice. 12. And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. 13. Therefore Saul removed him from him and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 14. And Saul behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him. 15. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. 16. But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them. GOLDEN TEXT.—God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.—Ps. 461. OUTLINE OF SCRIPTURE SECTION.

Two different accounts are given of the introduction of David to King Saul, which are somewhat confusing. After his anointing by Samuel, David was summoned to court to charm away "the evil spirit that troubled Saul" by means of his talent with the harp. But the narrative studied last Sunday introduces David as a stranger to the king. Of course David's visits at court may have been few, and Saul's failure to recognize him at Scochon may have been due to his older and altered appearance, or to the fact that Saul had seen him only during his fits of madness. David's appointment as armor-bearer, mentioned in 16:21, was doubtless subsequent to his victory over Goliath. The slayer of Goliath had been promised the hand of the king's daughter. But he won instead the hearts of the king's son and all the people. The adulation heaped upon him by countless admirers and the honors bestowed by the king were a severer test of his sturdy character than was the conflict with Goliath. But David was unspoiled by success. "Behaved himself wisely:" This emphasized three times in the narrative. "When David returned:" Not from killing Goliath, but some time later. This celebration was later in the same war with the Philistines, which had continued. The immoderate flattery of the women was the beginning of David's trouble. "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you." His excess of popularity proved his undoing. He would have been far better off without it, for it aroused the king's jealousy. "And Saul eyed David from that day:" Anger, jealousy and suspicion rankled in the king's heart because of the praises of the popular hero, Heretofore David had been but a shepherd youth in Saul's eyes. Now he views him as a rival. He remembers, with a guilty uneasiness, the keen words of Samuel warning him that Jehovah would "rend the kingdom from him and give it to a neighbor who was better than he." The very thought brings on his old-time madness, and when David, as before, tries to comfort and calm him with his music, the jealous king in a burst of passion hurls his javelin at him David twice escapes. Saul was superstitious (see 28.7), and because David so readily escaped his javelin, he believed him to bear "a charmed life." Therefore he begins to fear him. He feels constrained, however, to assign him to duty as an officer in the army, because of his popularity. When fear is added to jealous suspicion, treachery soon follows. Fearing to oppose David publicly, Saul secretly plots to cause his death. His hope that he may die in battle is not realized, so he urges him to special deeds of boldness in order to win in marriage the king's daughter, Michal. The plot is a mean one, but David passes the ordeal unscathed and wins the prize, becoming the king's son-in-law. Constantly baffled in his jealous plans, Saul nurses his wrath and bides his time.

A custom-house officer watched his actions very closely, and this espionage materially interfered with many profitable little schemes which the captain had in view. He walked confidently up to the officer, and asked him if he could see through a doubloon placed over each of his eyes. The ready Spannard took the meaning at once and replied: "No; and if you should put a doubloon upon each ear I could not hear; and put another on my mouth, and I could not speak." The sensible captain spread his gratification accordingly, and did as he pleased. It is an insult instantly presented to offer a bribe to a Spannard, but the same thing under the disguise of a gratification is the magic key which opens all doors in Spanish countries. Gen. Tacon was the only Spanish official I ever knew who would not accept a bribe—Jonathan S. Jenkins, in history. Doubtful Comfort. Cassy was on his deathbed.

He is known to be a man of boundless ambition, his one desire be- ing to unify all the republics of South America under one central government, with himself at its head. In 1870 he become dictator, but was swept out of power when Peru was defeated in the war with Chile. Three years ago Pier- la once more struck for supreme power and won. He organized an army in the mountains, overthrew the government, and marched to the palace over the bodies of 1,200 slain men.—Every Where. Herr Riese has collected statistics in Bavaria and Herr Foerberg in Sweden which tend to prove that the water we drink has an important influence on the teeth.

Probably the presence of lime in the water benefits the acids in general.—N. Y. Sun. The Oldest Artillery. It is claimed for the Washington army of New Orleans, Ln., which organized in 1846, that it is the oldest army organization in the United States.

The Trips of a Woman Philanthropist Must Be Arranged with A Brooklyn woman whose philanthropic efforts are mainly directed toward making life happier and better for the little folks of the crowded sections of the borough tells a good story on herself, says the Eagle, of her experience. "She was not confined to one section of that borough, she generally travels around from settlement to mission or recreation ground in a cab. One day she was on her way to a gathering of her proteges when she espied a masculine acquaintance who had, on a pretext, been visiting her work, and invited him to accompany her. He accepted, and they traveled down lanes and through byways heretofore unknown to him. In one of the narrowest and most crowded streets in a down-town quarter the fair philanthropic stopped to pay her fare when she entered the cab again the man said: "You have an arrangement with the Deity as well as the cabman when you come on one of these expeditions, haven't you?" "What do you mean?" was the astonished reply. "Well, your cab driver says that only the Lord knows where you good ladies are going when you start on trips of this sort." His Hayveat Moon. "A young friend of mine," said Senator Joseph W. Bailey, "married, not long ago, a woman of 50 years. She was rich and ugly; he was handsome and poor. "The day after their wedding I met the bride and bridegroom on a Pullman train, traveling west. The bridegroom went into the smoking compartment with me, and we lighted up. He smoked gloomily. He was long on the road. "Well, Jack," said I, "so this is your honeymoon, eh? "He smiled grimly. 'Don't call it my honeymoon,' he said. 'It's the harvest moon with me.'" - N. Y. Tribune. She Didn't Care. Maclephil, In., Aug. 10th.—I felt as though I didn't care whether I lived or died, I was so miserable all the time." In these words does Miss Nellie Barfoot, of this place, describe her condition. Every woman who is, or has been, sick and suffering will understand and appreciate just how much a threat of many thousands of similar cases. It is truly an awful thing when a woman gets so low that she can say "I don't care whether I live or die." But Miss Barfoot tells a different story today, and her words should guide every suffering woman to the path of health and happiness. Used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I am cured. I feel like a new person, and I would say to every woman suffering as I did, give Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial, and you will not be disappointed. They are worthy of the highest praise. Didn't Like to Boast. "How are you getting on with your music, my dear?" inquired a lady of her niece. "Well, of course," replied the niece, confidently, "it wouldn't be proper for me to compliment myself, but some of the neighbors have told me they have staid awake at night for hours, listening to my playing." —Stray Stories. Get What You Ask For: When you see an article well-advertised in the newspapers, you may be sure it's a good article, for advertising only pays if the goods are honest and possess merit. The people who make a speciality of one advertised article, like Cascarets, Candy Cathartic, for example, stake the whole business existence on its doing what they say it will. They must "make good," as the saying is. Reads that they are not urged to be sure that they get what they ask for, when they ask for an advertised article, for it's the good thing that is imitated and counterfeited.

CO., box 10, Washington, D.C. 书 Every physician of large practice has had the experience of being called on to attend women who imagined that they were in the last stages of some dire female malady, when upon examination the fact was revealed that obstructed physiology of the stomach or bowels was the whole cause of the trouble. The physician, however, who has not had experience may fall into the error of diagnosing grave diseases of the female system when they do not exist, because disorders of the bowels may be neglected until they give many of the appearances of female disease. The bowels have been known to become so clogged with hardened contents as to produce a condition closely resembling uterine displacement, uterine prolapse (falling of the womb), and the sick headache which is often attributed to female diseases is most often actually due to some trouble in the digestive machinery involving the liver, stomach, bowels or the great "Solar Plexus," which is the central telegraph station from which nervous messages are transmitted to and from all the organs in the abdominal cavity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin quickly corrects the congested conditions referred to above; headache, constipation, sallow complexions disappear and the glow of health is upon you. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has done more to relieve suffering women than any preparation ever sold in the same length of time it has been sold—about ten years. Thousands of letters from all parts of the country testify to this. Your druggist sells it in 50-cent and $1 bottles (it is economy to buy the $1 size), or, if not, a postal will bring FREE from us a very interesting book, "The Story of a Traveling Man," and a sample bottle. PEPSIN SYRUP COMPANY, Monticello, III., U. S. A. Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally Called Dyspepsia---Something to Produce Artificial Digestion is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Has Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which is Really Catarrh. EX. U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a recent letter to The Peruana Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C., says: "I can recommend Peruana for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic."---M. C. Butler. The only rational way to cure dyspepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruana cures catarrh. Peruana does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods. Peruna has cured more cases of dyspepsia than all other remedies combined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh.
