There was quite a representative crowd of Masons from all over the country at the First Baptist church last Tuesday morning, the occasion of which is rarely seen in this city. Nevertheless, it reminds one of the fact that the First church is suitable for such gatherings, and its members are so kind, polite and attentive, so much so, until the good Pleasant Workers' club had a nice dinner prepared for the occasion. Madam, M. A. Gilree and her assistants spared no palms in serving everybody that called with something to eat. CITY NEWS.

Last Monday night, without the slightest warning, death entered the home of Walter Trice, of 3961 Fairfax avenue, and carried him to the unknown beyond. He was but 37 years of age, and had been married ten years. He was as happy with his wife as a mortal could be. He was a member of Stinger Lodge No. 4, K. of P.; also of the Battle Ax. He leaves a wife, brother and many friends to mourn his loss. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved family. It seems as if whenever one is placed in a position wherein he can enjoy life with ease, after years of toil and disappointment, death enters and carries away our most loved one. About three or four years ago good fortune favored Mrs. Trice, and for two years husband and wife lived in their own home at 3961 Fairfax, and just as they were confident of taking life easy, death snatched Mr. Trice away. He will be buried to-morrow (Sunday) at 2 p. m., from the family residence. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO" BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair-Tonics. OZONO. iron-clad guarantee to do all that Now, we ask you a plain question $50.00 if you are dissatisfied w to all we claim for them?

GREAT DISORDER PREVAILED Minister Powell Went to the Palace and Demanded of President Norde That the Government Stop the Disorders. Port-au-Prince, Hayti, Aug. 5.—The city of Part-au-Prince is in a state of great disorder. Bands of soldiers throwing stones prevent the Syrians from reopening their stores. American citizens have hoisted the Stars and Stripes over their residences, and a number of them have sought refuge in the American legation, driving there in carriages flying the American flag and pursued by the populace throwing stones. After the disorders of the morning, Minister Powell went to the palace and demanded of President Norde that the government should take immediate action to stop the disorders, and to protect all foreigners and their property, demanding especially that American interests be protected. The president sent for the minister of the interior and the military governor, and ordered them to take immediate steps to stop the disorders, and for this purpose to send troops and police to the disturbed districts. President Nord assured Minister Powell that the lives and property of foreigners would be protected, and said he would see that their business did not suffer damage. After the interview at the palace, Minister Powell, Alexander Battiste, American deputy consul, and Gen. Carrie, military governor, visited the disturbed quarters, and personally saw that protection was given to the houses of foreigners. The energetic and prompt action of Minister Powell has no doubt saved the property and the lives of foreigners, and prevented greater disturbances.

Butte, Mont., Aug. 5.—Advices received from throughout the state the past week depict a serious state of affairs on the big ranges in eastern and northern Montana, and unless heavy rain is soon forthcoming, considerable loss of stock will ensue. The northern Montana ranges in many localities resemble a desert, former watering holes and springs being dry and parched. So bad have the conditions become that the state humane officers have interfered, and compelled stockmen to drive herds into localities far removed, where some grass and water remain, though even then the supply is scanty. The great Northern Railway Co. is meeting with difficulty in the operation of its trains throughout northern Montana, as a result of the inability to secure sufficient water to keep its tanks along the road replenished. DROWNED IN BOULDER CREEK Party of Campers Meet a Sudden Death in Bummer Gulch, Colorado. Boulder, Col.. Aug. 5.—Mrs. Lina Chambers, of York, Neb, and Mary Renks, the 12-year-old daughter of Charles Renkes, of this city, were drowned in Boulder creek. Thursday. They were part of a camping party in Bummer gulch, six miles from here. Without any warning, a wall of water caused by a cloudburst came rushing down the gulch, carrying the tent and the inmates into the creek. Mrs. Chambers and Mary Renkes were carried into the stream by the torrent of water and drowned. The storm which caused the cloudburst did much damage in the mining camps on Sugar Loaf mountain and in the neighborhood of Ward. NEGROES THANK POPE PIUS Say Catholic Church Has Taken Bold Stand Against Outrages Perpetrated Against Negroes. Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 5.—The Western Negro Press association Thursday adopted resolutions thanking Pope Plus for his expressions of sympathy in response to the letter sent by the press association in 1903. In closing, the resolutions states that "since the Catholic church has taken such a bold and helpful stand against the outrages perpetrated against our race, we respectfully request Protestant bodies of this country to take similar action." PLEASURE BOAT CAPSIZED A Number of American Tourists are Said to Have Been Drowned. Halifax, N. S., Aug. 5.—A special from Digby, N. S., says that a sailboat containing eight or ten American tourists capsized and sank off Smith's Cove, near Digby, Thursday evening, and that all on board were drowned. Tugs and boats with grapplings and doctors have left Digby for the scene of the accident. For the Most Popular Lady in the Western States. Winner to Receive a Gold Watch and Chain.

EN | Le N wf LigeA THEODORE ROOSEVELT. ‘The People’s Choice for President. ‘Theodore Roosevelt will be our next president. Byery Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. Let the republicans get together in ‘Missouri, for the victory is ours if man- aged right. When you cast your vote, lot it be for the party that gave you a ballot. Remember what the Democratic les- {slature tried to do in Missouri at the last ‘session. All the rights and benefits the Ne gro now enjoy come through the Re- publican party. —— Every law that has been enacted against Negro manhood was by the Democratic party. ‘The state committee met to-day to select a chairman fre to indorse The Palladium's choice. In every state where the Negro has been disfranchised it was done by a Democratic legislature. Roosevelt will not close the door of hope and prosperity against the Ne- gro. Why? Because he is a Republi- can. More Negroes were employed under the Walbridge administration than at any other time. Why? Because he was a Republican. It has been demonstrated that a snatl travels but 200 yards in 50 years. ‘The snail is clearly the Democrat of the See tet caaiann ‘We admit that there are bad Re- publicans in the party, but the prin- ciple of the Republicans are not af. fected by these vultures. Forty-four years ago ‘three million and a half of Negroes were slaves. To: day they are free, Who did it? 0! course the Republicar party. One of the embarrassing features of the campaign is that every time a democratic leader ehoots off his mouth he perforates. some other Democrat. Receevelt ehcore Cortelyou as chair- man of the national Republican com- mittee, Now let Hon. C. P. Walbridge checse Niedringhaus as chairman of the state committee, and all will be pratt eh Sara eee Mr. E, M. Wood, formerly of thic city, who published a book on “Negre Polfteness,” one of the most disgrace- fel books ever published, has been ir Memphis, Tenn., for the past three years, Fifty thousand Negro voters in the state cf Missouri, and by the selection of Niedringhaus, the Negro will gain hope and confidence, aud the Negroes that will bolt the ticket will be two scapegoats that are publishing a pat- ent sheets called _néwspapers—one ta Gbdutia and ono au Cokmbld. The Palladium is strictly a Repub- lican paper, and thus for the Negro. Why? Because the Bible says: “Honor your father and mother. “Now the Re- publican party is to the Negro what a mother and father are. Everything that we have came through that party, and to-day all of our protection comes from that party.’ So we honor the per- sons that permited us to enjoy life and liberty. Let the Republican party wage an aggressive compaign from one end of Missouri to the other. We have the most popular candidate for president that ever was—Roosevelt. Fairbanks for vice-president, C. P. Walbridge for governor of Missouri, John C. MeKin- ley for lieutenant-governor. Let the Republicans wage a persistent. fight, and victory will surely be theirs. Let the Republicans do their full duty, and we will retain congress and win in Siesaaet: One of the most puzzling features of the gouth is the intimate asseziation of the Negro and white race. One hears that the south is the hotbed of pre- judice, yet one finds the two races dwelling side by side in the most aris- tocratie quarters of the city, with no apparent antipathy tofyard one an- other, Whersever the Negro de- sires to tive, and is capable of paying rent, no objection is raised to his residing their. Unlike our city, ene’ finds the universities and high schools situated in the most aris- tocratie sections. The young ladies and gentlemen are wéll educated, and each seems to have a definite aim in life. Colored men are employed in every avenue of labor—marble cutters, railway clerks, carpenters, bricklay- ers, milk men,'and every other con- ceivable position is held by a Negro. One doesn't find the south half as black as it is painted. We conratulate the Republican convention pen its wisdom in con- firming tho choice of the Palladium, Hon. C, P. Walbridge, as the candidat» of the Republican party. We are con- fident (at if the Republican state con- vention will new elect Mr, Niedring- haus as chairman of state committee. victory will be perehed upon their ban- ner, for several reasons: First, the Ne- groes of Missouri have not been or- ganized since 1806, under *he leader- ship of the best organizer in the west- ern states, Hon. C. I. Filley. We are positive that with Mr. Niedringhaus, as chairman of the state committee, new life will he engendered among the Negroes of this state, and the leading Negroes will be enthused with new confidence. Mr. Niederinghause has made a success of everything he has ever come in contact with. In his se- lection as chairman, will be anothr Mark Hanna of the west. A PROMINENT CITIZEN. Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery Coming to St. Louis to Attend Masonic Conclave: Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bayou, Miss., the only town owned and controlled 3 colored people, will arrive in St. Louis ‘Aug. 8th, accompanied by his _ two daughters, Misses Allie and Cora. They are to be the guests of his daughter and son-in-law, Capt. and Mrs. J. H. Kent, 2615 Lucas avenue. Mr. Mont- gomery, the brilliant orator, is to de liver an address. He has held quite a number of responsible positions, one deserving honorable mention, receiver of puplic moneys of the state of Mis. sissippi. Mr. Montgomery is knowr to be one of the wealthiest Colored mer ‘in America. The Father is Ahead of Children and Grandchildren. F. D. Russell, the father of Mr. A. Russell, the undertaker, and Miss An- nie Russell and three other children. The grandfather of ten grandchil- aren has got the edge on the whole family. Miss Annie ‘Russell admitted to all, and says “that father has got it on the boys.” The Palladium man haa always locked upon Mr, D. Russell as the “cock of the walk,” so the sons must take a back seat, so long as the old man js on deck. ‘The girls are the old man’s idols. TENT MEETING.

Walter L. Smith, of Washington, D. C., will be in St. Louis soon to spend ie vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Smith, of 3729 Vista avenue. | Mr. Smith is a graduate of Sumner high school, class of "93. He took his post graduate course for college prep- aration under Prof. Waring and then entered Howard university, from which he graduated in 1902, He was immediately appointed io the chair of mathematics in the commercial de- partment and made a member of the faculty of the school. Howard university opened a summer school for teachers this year for the first time, and Mr. Smith was given charge of instructions in mathematics. The summer work has somewhat de- layed his visit, but it is now about over. He will be delighted to receive his many friends at his mother’s home during his short stay in St. Louis. His long absence from his old home has in no wise abated his partiality for St. Louisans and he has lost no op- portunity to look up and come in touch with those who go to Washington as students. Mr. Smith has always a word of praise for St. Louis, and we should be justly proud of one with the intel- lectual weapons obtained from her ed- ucational armory, who has battled his way to distinction in a distant city and a cosmopolitan institution.

MYSTERIOUS ASIA. Akoun's Mysterious Asia and Empire of India, the Pike's Greatest Educational and Amusement Feature, World's Fair, St. Louis, Mo. While the various concessionaries at previous Expositions have endeavored to reproduce, as a midway attraction, the wonderful mysteries of the Oriental Eastern countries, it has remained for that typical ethnological artist, Mr. Gaston Akoun, to bring before the visitors at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition an aggregation of the magnificent splendors of oriental life in the East, which for brilliancy, magnitude and active natural portrayal by means of real life exhibits has, undoubtedly, eclipsed anything in this line ever before attempted. Mr. Akoun, who is a Parisian by birth, has the advantage of former experiences at no less than twelve previous expositions, where his maryelous successes were continuously repeated, and as a successful caterer to an amusement-loving public his fame spread far and wide The general plan embraces a most interesting representation of Asiatic countries, including faithful reproductions of the most historic and educational buildings of India, the Mahal Temple of Agra, the Rain Sipri of Almiadabad, street reproductions from historical Delhi, Calcutta, with its picturesque bungalows, and decorated buildings, grill workers, with their actual material, such as mosaic and ceramic panels, carved in inlaid wood. Bazaare teeming with commercial activity, with native vendors in the picturesque costume of their native country, form a part of the attractions. Ceylon, with its attractive tea houses and klosks, inside of which the visitors witness the process of drying and rolling tea, which is served by native Singalese in purely oriental fashion; Burmah, the land of white elephants, its idolatrous inhabitants, and the Golden Temple of Rangoon; Burmese musicians playing upon their peculiar native instruments, and Burmese dancing girls doing their fantastical and dances. A point of interest is Persia, the mysterious country of Asia, with its rug market, architectural buildings, caravans, sedan chairs, dromedaries, etc. In the bazaars are seen types of Persian traders showing the art of weaving rugs. There are brass chiselers, candy makers, fortune tellers and fakers displaying and selling their waters, consisting of silksdraperies, laces, ornaments, embroideries, jewelry and other articles seen in course of manufacture by natives. In connection with this special amusement feature is a beautiful and conspicuous building erected in the original Oriental style of architecture, known as the Oriental Theater, where performers from the Oriental countries appear in numerous and amusing features. Nautch, Jar, Castanette and all characteristic national dances are given in oriental style of their respective countries. Grand parades representing the Rajah and the gorgeous Durban festival take place hourly. On a gorgeously-caparisoned elephant, driven by Hindoos, holding heavy silver spears and attended by native musicians beating tom toms and playing upon flutes and other native instruments, the Rajah is seated in a golden-embroidered hoodah. Elephants carry sklocks loaded with passengers. These are followed by a multitude of singing and shouting natives, riding in every description of conveyance typical of their native countries. The entire production cost over $200,000. For the past two years Mr. Akoun has had abroad special representatives in search of new attractions, and at considerable risk and expense, obtained the consent of the various tribal kings and rulers to allow their subjects to leave their native country. In the entire reproduction there are upwards of 750 people, including men, women and children. Continuous performances given daily from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m. Three Husbands Wanted.

HOUSEHOLD WHEN IS A BABY NORMAL? Medical Expert Tells How a Mother Can Answer the Question Beyond a Doubt. When a person first becomes a parent he or she watches the little newborn creature with the most intense anxiety. The fear sometimes haunts the parent that perhaps the babe is not mentally perfect. The father tries to solve the problem, but his mind has nothing to hold to, nothing to guide it to a conclusion. A few glances may tell that the baby's body has all the outward evidences of being normal, but the parents' endeavors to understand the slowly-awakening mind prove futile. "How much greater would be my joy," a mother often says to herself, "I if knew that my baby's brain is as it should be." According to some experts, however, this suspense is needless. They declare that the mind of a baby is normal if the child is able to do certain things at certain ages. It is only when the baby acts differently that fear may well seize the mother's heart, a fear that her babe may be foolish, that only its animal nature will grow, while the mind remains dwarfed, sluggish, in a sort of continual twilight. According to specialists, the mental symptoms of the baby may even be reduced to a catalogue. "A normal child," says Dr. Louise Fiske Bryson, in the Medical Critic, "is sensitive to light when a day or two old, starts when gently touched at the third day, tastes at the end of the first week, and strong odors cause contortions during the first hours of life. Food, bath, objects about him, please him during the first month; tears overtake the baby when three weeks old, and smiles come shortly after. Music charms during the second month; then consonants are used for the first time; tickling causes laughter, and objects can be clasped with four fingers. At four months the baby begins to imitate; sits up at the sixth month; stands without A WHEN BABY IS NORMAL (At 15 Months He or She Should Walk Something Like This.) support at the ninth month and walks at the age of 15 months. "At this period he also laughs, smiles, gives a kiss, repeats syllables and understands a number of words. From the twentieth to the twenty-fourth month he executes orders on command, tries to sing, beat time and dance to music. At the age of three the child walks upstairs annaided and speaks distinctly. He begins to ask questions. "The sub-normal child has not developed in this way. 'He is different,' say the parents. That sums up the whole situation—he is different from normal." According to available statistics, says Dr. Bryson, there are two feeble-minded persons to every thousand inhabitants, and to every 500 there are five or six children not capable of being educated by the ordinary methods of instruction. Feeble-minded children, she adds, are generally fond of music, "can often sing, even when unable to talk, can play on some musical instrument alone or with others." For such she recommends special physical exercises, which tend to awaken the creative faculties of the mind. The symptoms of the sub-normal mind cannot be classified, from the very nature of things, as are the actions of a normal child. "What constitutes a backward, or deficient, child?" asks Dr. Bryson. "How can you tell one when you see one? Not in an offhand way; yet there is something that stamps the child as different from his fellows. The lack of command over himself suggests illness to the inexperienced. Some, perhaps many, of the stigmata of degeneration may be present, physical signs of imperfection, that lead the observer to infer the quality of the individual. The roof of the mouth may be high and narrow, the teeth irregular and misshapen, the lobe of the ear attached to the side of the head, the arms too long in proportion to bodily height, or the hands and feet may show abnormalities of structure. "At the same time, it must be remembered that it is not how a child looks that classifies him, but what he does, what he is, what he loves and seeks." Hymn on a Grain of Corn. An engraver of Odessa has engraved the entire Russian national hymn upon a grain of corn, and recently he presented the curiosity to the czar. His majesty has now forwarded to the man, through the civil governor of Odessa, a gold watch and chain, with his thanks for carrying out such a laborious undertaking. THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for August 7,1904—"God Taking Care of Elijah." (Prepared by the "Highway and Byway Pressboy.) (Copyright, 1904, by J. M. Edson.) LESSON TEXT. 1. Kings 17:1-16; Memory Verses, 13, 14. 1. And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 2. And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying. 3. Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that before Jordan. 4. And it was that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 5. So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. 7. And it came to pass after awhile that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 8. And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying. Lim, saying, 9. Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which beholden to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman to sustenance. 10. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 11. And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. 12. And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse; and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 13. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. 14. And so this saith the Lord God of Israel. The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the crusse of oil fall, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. 15. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah, and she and he, and her house, did eat many days. 16. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the crusse of oil fall, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah. THE LESSON Includes all of the seventh chapter, giving the closing Incidents in the life of the widow and her son. There is no parallel in Chronicles. GOLDEN TEXT:—"He careth for you." —1 Peter 5:7. TIME—Ahab reigned from 918 to 818 B.C. and Elijah, in the opinion of Sir George Grove, began a mission in Israel in the tenth year of Ahab, and continued to serve for a period of 16 to 18 years. prophets HES—Samaria, Aahb's capital; the brook Cherik, a small stream emptying into the Jordan from the east; Zarephath, a town between Tyre and Sidon. INTRODUCTORY NOTE.—The complete Queen Queenah had gained completeness over Ahab, and Phoeniceus idolatry was rapidly disjointed in the worship of the true God. Elijah makes his public proteses and pronounces the Divine judgment of a long drought. Comparing Scripture with Scripture. AFAITHFUL WITNESS.—"Elijah was (1) A Man of Prayer (Jas. 5:17-18), and hence A Prepared Man. He learned God's will and he received God's message and the answer to his prayer. (1 John 5:14-15). Jesus' remarkable ministry was marked by much prayer, whole nights being thus spent. One reason why Christians are often so ill prepared to deliver God's message is because they have failed to wait before God in prayer to learn His will and His message. (2) A Man Full of Faith.—"According to my word;" that is God's word as revealed by God to Elijah. Matt. 17:20. (3) A Fearless Man.—He faced the wicked boldly, and spoke his unwelcome message.—Acts 4:29; Matt 10:28; Josh. 1:9. (4) A Plain-Spoken Man.—Without circumlocution or flowery introduction, Elijah went right to the heart of his message, and he declared "the whole counsel of God." (Acts 20:27.) As witnesses for God there is solemn obligation here.—Ezek. 33:7-9. (5) An Obedient Man.—Protection and food depended upon prompt obedience. Had Elijah delayed departure for the brook Cherith, he might have perished with the prophets slain by Jezebel. Had he failed to go promptly to Zarephath he might have missed the widow at the gate. Do you realize how much our safety and welfare depend upon prompt obedience to God?—Jer. 42:6. A FAITHFUL GOD.—(1) In punishment of sin. Drought was the promised punishment for national idolatry.—See Deut. 11:16-17; 28:23. “These years,” Luke 4:25 and James 5:17, fixes definitely the duration of this drought. (2) In Care of His Servants.—What a comfort the 23d Psalm must have been to Elijah. Elijah was protected, Psalm 31:20; 34:17. Elijah was fed. The raven was an unclean bird, and yet under Divine dispensation it became the holy instrument of ministering to the needs of God's servant. Faith, humility and submission made Elijah obedient to the Divine will. How this should teach us to receive at God's hands His provision for us, whatever that may be. "The Brook Dried Up."—Here was encouragement to faith, in that Elijah saw that God's word was being fulfilled, and also a fresh test of faith in that Elijah saw his water supply giving out. If the prophet had been like many Christians he would have been a nervous wreck from worrying ere the last drop had been drunk.—Phil. 4:6.7.19 THE GOLDEN TEXT. "In my distress I cried to the Lord and He heard me." A listening God. He hears the sinner's cry for mercy He hears the cry of distress of His children. He hears the song as it bursts from the cleansed heart of the sinner and the delivered soul of the saint. But, oh, how often God listens in vain. The sinner is dumb in his sin. The saint is forgetful and indifferent. When blessing's sunshine is athwart his pathway he forgets to lift his song of praise, and when the storms of life rage about him he is silent in rebellious unbelief. Millions Use CASCARETS.

Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally Attacking Some Organ. Ails that come from coffee are cumulative, that is, unless the coffee is taken away new troubles are continually appearing and the old ones get worse. "To begin with," says a Hansan, "I was a slave to coffee just as thousands of others to-day; thought I could not live without drinking strong coffee every morning for breakfast and I had sick headaches that kept me in bed several days every month. Could hardly keep my food on my stomach, but would vomit as long as I could throw anything up and when I could get hot coffee to stay on my stomach I thought I was better. "Well, two years ago this spring I was that sick with rheumatism I could not use my right arm to do anything, had heart trouble, was nervous. My nerves were all unstrung and my finger nails and tips were blue as if I had a chill all the time, and my face and hands yellow as a pumpkin. My doctor said it was heart disease and rheumatism and my neighbors said I had Bright's Disease and was going to die. "Well, I did not know what on earth was the matter and every morning would drag myself out of bed and go to breakfast, not to eat anything, but to force down some more coffee. Then in a little while I would be so nervous, my heart would beat like everything." "Finally one morning I told my husband I believed coffee was the cause of this trouble and that I thought I would try Postum, which I had seen advertised. He said 'All right,' so we put Postum, and although I did not like it at first I got right down to business and made it according to directions, then it was fine and the whole family got to using it, and I tell you it has worked wonders for me. Thanks to Postum in place of the poison, coffee, I now enjoy good health, have not been in bed with sick headache for two years, although I had it for 30 years before I began Postum and my nerves are now strong and I have no trouble from my heart or from the rheumatism. "I consider Postum a necessary article of food on my table. My friends who come here and taste my Postum say it is delicious." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

E-Secretary Root, the Spokesman, and Senator Fairbanks Were Both Recipients of-Popular Ovations. Indianapolis, Aug. 4.—Charles W. Fairbanks, senior United States senator from Indiana, was formally notified of his nomination for vice-president of the United States by the re- publican national convention. The notification address was made by Elihu Root, ex-secretary of war, who was temporary chairman of the convention. The exercises were held on the wide veranda of Senator Fairbanks' beautiful home, in the presence of members of the notification committee, consisting of one member from each state and territory, the governor, and other state officials of Indiana, the republican candidates for state office, the Indiana republican congressional delegation, Indiana delegates and alternates to the national convention, the state central committee and the Repub- SENATOR CHARLES WARREN FAIR-BANKS. Italian Editorial association. All these had been especially invited. On the lawn surrounding three sides of the residence and extending far on all sides beneath the great forest trees were several thousand friends, neighbors and political supporters of the senior senator. Massed in a body were 1,000 members of the Marion club, who acted as escort for the distinguished visitors. Flags were seen everywhere. The house was elaborately decorated and on one side of the lawn two large wents were topped by waving banners. The day was one of the most beautiful of the year. The especially invited guests were served with luncheon in large tents on the lawn, the general public was served with light refreshments in the house and a photograph of the candidate and committee was taken from the steps of the veranda. The members of the notification committee arrived early, Ex-Secretary Root, after being given an informal reception, joined the other members of the committee at the English hotel. Shorter after noon the journey of one and one-half miles to the senator's home began. One thousand members of the Marion club acted as escort. In the first carriage rode Mr. Root and Gov. Durbin. The notification committee and other special guests followed in carriage. Several thousand persons cheered as the line moved along. Many residences along the line were profusely decorated. Gathered at the residence were 5,000 persons. Senator Fairbanks and Mrs. Fairbanks received the committee and especially invited guests. Mr. Root and Mr. Fairbanks led the way to the veranda, where seats were arranged for all. An enthusiastic greeting was accorded the two speakers as they appeared on the veranda. The demonstration lasted for several minutes, during which the members of the committee were seated. Mr. Root, without preliminary, made the formal notification address. He said in part: Ex-Secretary Root's Speech. "Senator Fairbanks: The committee which now awaits upon you was appointed by the national convention of the republican party, and whose duty is to notify you of your nomination as the republican candidate for the office of vice-president of the United States, to begin on the 6th day of March. 1906. "We give you formal notice of that nomination with assurance of the unfulfilled and hearty support the people will in the government of this country for the better part of the last half century. Composition by the methods and practices of representative government. It was the result of long and earnest consideration of discussion by the committee. It was not the chance product of an excited hour, and it was not upon the demand of any powerful inimical political or social force, but of the delegates.

It was the deliberate, in-depth judgment of the delegates from all the states and it was their unanimous judgment. "It is the earnest wish of your party and the good citizens who have no party affiliation, that you shall nominate this nomination, and that you shall be elected in November to be the next vice-president of the United States. In exposition you have been asking to an assurance of our own personal respect, esteem and loyalty." Senator Fairbanks was given another ovation as he arose to accept the nomination. He said in part: Senator Fairbanks' Response. "Mr. Root and Gentlemen of the Committee: I thank you for the very generous terms in which you have conveyed your support for the vice president of the United States. The unsolicited and unanimous nomination by the republican party is a call to action for the party to accept the commission which you bring with a profound sense of the dignity and responsibilities of the exalted leader. My utmost endeavor will be to discharge in full measure the trust, if the action of the convention shall meet the approval of the party. "The platform adopted by the convention is an explicit and emphatic declaration of our party's commitment with those policies of our party which have brought great honor and prosperity to our common country, and which, if continued, will bring us like blessings." "The convention was wise not only in its enunciation of party policies but in its decision to appoint a president. During the last three years President Roosevelt has been confronted with large and sensitive questions. These questions have posed high winds and courage. The charges made against him in the democratic platform finds an unfettered answer.

The conditions constitute the strongest possible opportunity to submit to you, and through you, to my fellow citizens, a matter concerning the questions now in issue.

Precedents Already Established Will Not Be Receded From by Our Government. Washington, Aug. 4.—The state department is in telegraphic communication with its agencies abroad respecting the Russian seizures and destruction of American goods, but it is not yet ready to define precisely its position as to the whole subject of seizures. These exchanges are not confined to St. Petersburg and Washington, but are intended to develop the purposes of the governments of other nations, and particularly of Britain and Germany, whose shipping has suffered more than that of any other. It is said here that the precedents already established in the Spanish and Boer wars, as well as in the operations in China during the Black Flag uprising, have worked so satisfactorily and have received such universal approval that under no circumstances will America now recede from the doctrine that foodstuffs not directly intended for the use of a belligerent army or navy, can not be regarded as contraband. FOR GOVERNOR'S WEEK State World's Fair Commissioners' Association Favor Having It in September. St. Louis, Aug. 4.—Governors' week probably will be one of the features of the World's fair in the latter part of September. The suggestion for such a celebration came from A. C. Alexander, assistant secretary of the Indiana commission, and will be one of the matters to be discussed at the regular meeting of the executive commissioners' association. Mr. Alexander believes that the week could be made one of the most elaborate celebrations of the exposition. Every state and territory is represented at the exposition, and it would be a splendid opportunity, he thinks, for the assembling of the chief executives and their wives, and one which probably would not present itself again in a lifetime. The governor could be guests at their respective state pavilions. Letters have been addressed the various executive commissioners and Mr. Alexander received replies from 14, all of them viewing the matter in a most favorable light. The commissioners believe the idea is a splendid one, and promise to do all in their power to make the celebration a success. FIRE AT ALBION IOWA.

There was a dull aching across the small of my back that was worse at night and made me feel miserable all the time. The kidney secretions were dark and full of sediment, and lack of control compelled me to rise a number of times during the night. Between this annoyance and the backache it was impossible for me to get much sleep and my health was being undermined. I tried a number of remedies, but nothing helped me until I got Doan's Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy according to directions promptly brought about a change for the better. After using two boxes the backache all left me, the kidney secretions cleared up and the action of the kidneys became normal."

A young clergyman in making his weekly visits among the poor of his parish in a near-by country village quite recently learned of a poor, sick man who recently came from Ireland with his wife and one child. When the minister called at the house, relates the Philadelphia Press, he was given a most hearty welcome, and on his way to the garden he surprised at finding him apparently well. The day being warm the clergyman suggested that he get out of bed and spend an hour under a sauna tree in the garden. "It may do you good," he added. The wife, who was present, said her husband had better remain in the house until the following day and then take a little recreation. When the clergyman returned a week later he found the husband still in bed. "Haven't you been out of bed since I was here?" asked the man of the clock. "No, sir, he has not," replied his wife. "I don't like to tell you sir, but the doctor gave my husband up a week ago and that's what the reason he didn't go to the garden." Good Enough Scotchman. Andrew Carnegie told this story laterly: A Scotchman and an Englishman went to see "Douglas," and after Norval's great speech the Scotchman asked his companion: "What do ye think of your Willie Shakespeare noo?"

She bothers herself bothered with Lame Back, and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since I took Dodd's Kidney Pills. Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the result would be considered wonderful if it were not that others are reporting similar results.

The case of Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass., is interesting to all women, and adds further proof that woman's great friend in need is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I suffered misery for several years. My back ached and I had bearing down pains, and frequent headaches. I would often wake from a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours before I could close my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted different physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was highly recommended to me. I am glad that I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I was rid of every ache and pain and restored to perfect health. I feel splendid, have a fine appetite, and have gained in weight a lot."—MISS FRANKIE ORSER, 14 Warrenton St., Boston, Mass.

"After two months I decided to try what a change would do for me, and as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was strongly recommended to me I decided to try it.

Misses Katie Johnson and Isabella Morgan returned last Wednesday from New Orleans. They speak in highest terms of the people of the south, of their hospitality and intellectuality. They found many of the rumors afloat concerning the treatment of the Negro to be untrue. They spent a short time in Plaquemine, La., and returned much benefited by their trip. Miss Johnson will again assume control of the editorial department. We are sure that our many readers will be glad. We assure them that we are more than glad to have that burden taken from our shoulders. THE CLIFF DWELLERS. The World's Greatest Historical Ethnological and Educational Exhibition "On the Pike." The Indians pray for rain in their mystic ceremonials among the Cliff Dwellers at the World's fair. The less civilized people, the more material, are their wants, which they implore their deities to supply. Rain, rain, rain on the parched fields. Mokiland, in the far-off, painted desert of the Colorado, in Arizona, is, at this time of the year, the supplication that is wafted heavenwards by the Moki and Zuni priests, descendants of the ancient but now totally extinct Cliff Dwellers. Those that visit the World's fair be sure and visit these wonderful Cliff Dwellers on the Pike and see the snake dance. We will have more in next week. Watch the Palladium. Two men were severely injured and the windows of half a dozen houses smashed, Tuesday night, n Brooklyn, N.
