Missouri State Gleanings Soil in Fine Condition and Temperature Above Normal-Seeding Well Advanced. The climate and crop bulletin of the United States department of agriculture, Missouri section, says: The past week was one of the warmest during the season, and the temperature averaged slightly above normal. The soil is in fine condition, except in a few scattered localities, where it is too wet. Showers were general on September 30 and October 1, except in the southwest counties. Some injury resulted from high wind in a limited area on the 30th. The weather was very favorable for maturing late corn, and reports indicate that fully 80 per cent. of the entire crop is now safe from frost, and with two weeks more of favorable conditions the entire crop should be safe. Very nearly an average crop is indicated. Cutting is well advanced, and in many counties has been completed. Cotton is opening well and picking is progressing favorably. In a few northern, central and eastern counties wheat sowing has been retarded somewhat owing to wet soil, but in the majority of counties seedling is well advanced and in many is practically completed. In a few of the extreme southwest counties the soil is too dry for best results, germination being slow, but over the greater part of the state it is in excellent condition, wheat coming up to good stands and fields showing green. Potato digging is still in progress, and the yield is about the average and the quality is good. There is very little complaint of rot. Pastures are very good. Sorghum making continues, and with satisfactory returns, as a rule. Reports regarding winter apples indicate that, as a rule, the quantity and quality of the fruit is much below the average, and in many counties the crop is a total failure. GEORGE REEDER. Section Director. Note—This issue will close the series of climate and crop bulletins for the season. The section director desires to express to the voluntary observers and climate and crop correspondents his hearty thanks for the valuable services rendered. DOCTOR SUES FOR BIG FEE St. Louis Physician Files Suit in the Circuit Court for $25,000 Against an Editor. Dr. M. P. Morrell, of St. Louis, filed suit in the circuit court against Joseph L. Lawrence, of New York, editor of the Medical Brief, for $25,000, which he claims is due him for treatment of his son, Frank Lawrence, from August 1, 1900, to November 4, 1900. Dr. Morrell brought suit against Lawrence for $16,000 some time ago before Judge Ryan's court, but the decision was reversed, and the case was appealed to the supreme court, where it is now pending. This suit was for alleged services from June 1, 1902, to July 10, 1902. Judge Ryan held that the charge was excessive in comparison with the doctor's income. It is asserted by Dr. Morrell that for several years he has been the medical advisor and physician for Frank Lawrence and remained so until his death. He further claims that he sacrificed his city practice and home life to treat the boy while in Europe last year, and has not received compensation for any of his services. Shour Jury Disagrees. After being out 43 hours, the jury in the state case against A. P. Shour, former secretary of the Farmers' Loan & Building association, was discharged without reaching a verdict at Chillin-theathe. Shour is alleged to have embuzzled $9,000 of the association funds, and has been in jail several months. The trial of the case occupied three days. The jury stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal. The case goes over to the January term of court. Proposed Turd and Drank Acid. Proposing a toast to the other passengers, Dollie Burns, aged 22, arose from her seat in a street car, in St. Louis, drew a bottle of carbolic acid from her bosom and drank the contents. She was hustled to the dispensary, where the stomach pump was used, and she will probably recover. Flooders Not Wanted. The Missouri grand lodge of Masons, before closing its eighty-third annual meeting in St. Louis, voted against three boodlers who, after being expelled by their lodges, appealed for reinstatement.

Louisan Dead. On the seventy-second anniversary of his birth, David Pittman Rowland filed at his home in St. Louis, after an illness which had extended over the last few months. Death came more as the result of age than of disease. Mr. Rowland was for years one of the best known of St. Louis business men, was a former president of the Merchants' exchange, and during a long career of active business life was connected with well-known commercial firms of the city. He was an uncle of David R. Franca Fair Life Saver at Creve Coeur Lake Keeps Exhausted Man From Sinking. Rare presence of mind and sheer gril displayed by Miss Bert Aldrich probably saved the life of James K. Arnott and prevented the fatal ending of a merry cruising party on Creve Coeur lake, in St. Loisus county. Miss Aldrich's grip on the leg of Mr. Arnott's trousers is all that saved him from being drowned, so members of the party say. The Captain Kidd, a well- equipped rescue, was the scene of the thrilling rescue. When the boat was about to land Mr. Arnott's feet became entangled in the ropes and rigging which lay strewn on the deck. Before he could extricate himself, he lost his balance and fell into the lake. The boat was some distance away before it could be turned about. Miss Aldrich was the first to see Arnott in the water. She grabbed his trousers leg and clung to it, until others of the party helped her to haul the nearly exhausted man aboard. He was so weak that members of the party say he would have sunk in a few moments. He was taken ashore and revived. Later in the day he returned to the boat and expressed his gratitude to his fair saver. Sam Wilson Released. Sam Wilson, the "one train robber," who single-handed held up a train on which Gov. Stone and State Treasurer Stephens were passengers, May 24, 1893, was liberated from the state prison the other day, he having served his term. The hold-up occurred west of Pacific, on the Missouri Pacific railway, and was one of the most daring robberies in the history of the state. Wilson's crime so incensed the state in general and Gov. Stone in particular that is was directly the cause of a change in the law punishing train robbery, whereby the death penalty may be assessed for that offense. This law was passed at the first session of the legislature after the commission of this robbery. Telephone Girl a Heiress Miss Clytie Griggs, aged 15, of Kansas City, daughter of a painter, has received a letter from a lawyer at Capa Nome, Alaska, informing her that she is the heleness to an estate valued at $500,000, left by Mrs. Lillian Warner, her second cousin. The estate, the letter says, consists principally of interests in mining property, shares of mining stocks and some money. Miss Griggs is employed as a telephone operator in Kansas City. Her cousin, whose fortune she inherits, died at Cape Nome several weeks ago. St. Louis' Oldest Lawyer Dead. Melvin L. Gray, the oldest resident member of the St. Louis bar, and the life-long friend and benefactor of Eugene Field, the poet, died at his home in St. Louis. He was 89 years old. Mr. Gray succumbed to the infirmities of old age, after an acute illness of three weeks. He had been an invalid for the past eighteen months, leaving his home only to take a drive when the weather permitted, and being so feeble that he was usually carried to the carriage. He gave up the practice of law ten years ago and retired. Cook Makes Report. Secretary of State Sam B. Cook reports having received and paid into the state treasury taxes and fees for the month of September, 1904, as follows: Notarial commissions, $610; domestic corporation tax, $5,915; foreign corporation tax; $1,120; miscellaneous fees, $396; land department fees, $25; bank inspection fees, $1,417.50; total $9,484.40. A Murder Mystery. An unidentified man, apparently well to do and supposed o be from Texas, was found dead in Creve Coeur lake, St. Louis county. Four gashes were found on his head, and the pockets of his trousers were turned inside out. It is thought the man was murdered by robbers, and appearances indicate that he made a hard fight for his life. Her Fourth Attemat Fails Mrs. Walter C. Able, a would-be suicide, was rescued from the Mississippi river by Policeman James Dockery in St. Louis. It was her fourth attempt at self-destruction within two months. Dockery has patrolled a river beat for years, and has saved a dozen lives. Schnettler Starts Sentence. John H. Schnettler, a former member of the St. Louis house of delegates, who was convicted of bribery and sentenced to serve two years, has started serving his term at the penitentiary.

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 fourious 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.

FOR SUNDAY READING How sweet in life's weak, weak breath, To never fear the sting of death, But silently await the Power That takes us at the given hour, And look to Heaven, man's greatest prize, Where tears can never dim the eyes. How sweet to know that all is well, When one can easily foretell The joyous welcome that's in store When landing on the other shore. How countless thousands gladly sing Sweet praises to the Christ their King. How sweet to think when suffering pain, The soul is free from every stain. That in the coming of the dawn, You're nearer to the Master drawn, Where sorrow shall forever cease, And love reign out in perfect peace. How sweet the thought that night or day, Whene're we humbly choose to pray, That every honest spoken word Is sympathetically heard. So quickly does it reach the ear Of Him Whom mortals all should fear How sweet to know that after all, The power of Satan can't enthrall the soul, who will but try His wife to forgive her. But if his company you keep, Prepare eternally to weep. —George McKenzie, in Boston Budget. FAMILY RELIGION. The Custom of Days Gone By and Some Reasons Why Changes Have Come. In the days of the patriarchs and tribal divisions, religion was family religion. This was not a matter of chance, it was by direct revelation of God that men so worshiped Him. "And thou shalt shye thy son in that day;" "And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and thou shalt talk of them when thou sitteth in thine house;" "That the generation to come might know them, even the children which shall be born; who shall arise and declare them to their children." There is no change in this matter. It is still true that the home is the best place to teach and exemplify the truths of the Bible, says J. Mervin Hull, in Young People. But it is true that in these days the family religion is not so strongly emphasized as it was 100 years ago. People of middle age can remember many such stories as those my mother used to tell me. When she was a young girl she lived in a deacon's family. It was in the pioneer days, when the forests were being cleared, and the struggle with nature was a struggle for existence among the rugged hills of New England. There was scarcely time enough for all the work to be done, and yet those men had no thought of neglecting the worship of God in their homes. And so in Deacon Manley's family, while the deacon read a long portion of Scripture, the girls washed the dishes, and while he offered a long prayer, the girls combed their long hair, so as to be ready for the long walk to school. And in the homes, too, the children were taught the principal facts and the great truths of the Bible. Every one knows that religion is not formally taught in the home as it used to be. In seeking to find a cause for this decline of family religion, some critics have laid the blame at the door of the Sunday school. Family religion has declined, and the Sunday school has flourished; therefore, it is evident that parents have transferred the responsibility of religious instruction to the Sunday school, and the home has lost its power as a teacher of religion. I am not at all of this opinion. So far as I have been able to observe, the Sunday school has helped the home to preserve its religion. The decline in family religion has been largely caused by the unprecedented changes that have come to family life during the century. They have affected many other things besides family religion. Deacon Manley's time was his own, but his grandson, also an active church worker, must take the 7:03 car to town. Old conditions are changed. But whatever may be the cause of the change, the Sunday school of today can do a great deal to promote religion in the home. The time is coming when we will get adjusted to the rapid changes of our times, when there will be a revival of old-fashioned, neighborly feeling, and the family ties and religion will be emphasized more strongly than in the days of old. FAITH AND PRAYER. Prayerless preaching will be powerless. When a man has an immovable faith in God he will be ever on the move for men. It is worth while losing the evident value of prayer while you make up your mind whether it is objective or subjective.—Ram's Horn. The measure of love is sacrifice. The test of it is not in the enthusiasm with which it is expressed, not in its demonstrativeness. It is measured by blood drops.—A. Z. Conrad. HOPEFULNESS IN TRIAL. The Need and the Blessing of the Upward Look When Things Are Dark. In the midst of his great personal trials and the desolation of Jerusalem which he loved, Jeremiah exclaimed: "It is good that a man hope." There is a bright side to all trial. It is God's tool to sharpen the saints. Untilled ground goes to weeds. The prosperous Christian soon forgets God and His manifold benefits. Edmund Burke became the chastened, softened, eloquent orator that he was through the death of his only son. There is a legend of an artist who had found the secret of the wonderful red which no other artist could imitate. The secret of his color died with him. But after his death an old wound was discovered over his heart. This revealed the source of the matchless hue in his picture. Affliction brings out the heart's blood which gives color and life and attractiveness and power and successful achievement in all the work of life. The sepulcher in the garden may yet become the place of the soul's resurrection and thus transform the whole into something more than Edenic beauty and loveliness. Expect great things to be wrought out by trial, by Him who makes all things work together for good to His people. Don't demand of God untimely deliverance lest He grant it and with it send leanness to the soul. Be willing to endure the thorn in the flesh continually if your suffering may be an example to others and if "the power of Christ" may be more fully upon you and if thus you may hear as not otherwise the inspiring words: "My grace is sufficient for you." But be hopeful at all hazards. Expect the trials God has given to bring good to you and to all concerned and glory to His name and then you can always be hopeful in it, yea, you will be enabled to rejoice in it, says W. J. Mosier, in Christian Work. You will "count it all joy when you fall into divers trials." You will "glory in tribulations also," and you will "rejoice evermore and in everything give thanks," and will possess that godliness with contentment which is great gain. Also quietly wait for deliverance, "Wait for the Lord and He shall strengthen thy heart." "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." A great painter in time of sore trouble went to his friend for comfort. Good advice was given but it brought no help. He then went to another, who said, after hearing his story: "We shan't be disturbed and I think I can put you in the way of the desired help you want." Then he fell upon his knees, asking his friend to do the same. When they arose the troubled man said: "You have put me in the way of getting, yes, and obtaining the very comfort that I stood in need of. God bless you!" John Brown, of Haddington, said: "No doubt I have met with trials like others, yet so kind has God been to me that I think If He would give me as many more years to live, I would not desire a single circumstance in my life changed, excepting that I wish there had been less of sin. On my coffin might be inscribed: 'Here lies one of the cares of Providence, who early lost both father and mother, and yet never wanted for the care of either.'" A commander of a victorious army gave to each one of his soldiers a medal giving the time and place of the great battle, having underneath it the inscription: "I was there." So when we reach glory, and look back upon the battlefields of life, if we have carried ourselves nobly and fought successfully and mastered all the trials, we shall be glad to say of every one of them: "I was there." Then we shall see that these light afflictions of earth have worked out for us an exceeding great and eternal weight of glory. But we must improve these opportunities of trial as much as possible. There is a beautiful Indian legend of a good spirit who, wishing to please a beautiful princess, led her into a ripe and golden cornfield and said to her: "If thou wilt diligently pluck these ears of corn, they will turn into precious jewels, the richer the ear the brighter the gem. But thou mayest only pass through this cornfield once and canst not return the same way." As she went she passed many beautiful and ripe ears, hoping to finu better ones, but soon the stalks grew thinner and the ears poorer, and further on they were blighted and she did not think they were worth picking. Sorrowfully she looked back over the field, regretting the golden ears she had neglected and lost. So if the trials of life are properly improved, every one of them will be transformed into an everlasting gem of beauty and glory which shall exalt the character through eternal ages. But if not met and mastered, as is made possible by the grace of God, the very trials which were intended for blessings will be charged to our eternal loss. Therefore in every time of trial, let us both hope and quietly wait, and we shall surely see the salvation of the Lord. Blindness. As a blind bird in its flight so is he who goes through the world and discerns not the beauty of his Maker. As the bird has no spirit of song, so the blind soul is not actuated by the spirit of worship. As the bird knows not where it shall rest its wings when weary. neither knoweth the sightless man where his prayerless spirit shall repose when he has reached the end. -United Prebysterian 2321-23 Market Street In the Heart of the Colored Business District.

SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (1) THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) Morebona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Caney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. 69 B. H. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Stands for Human Liberty. "I do not think that the Negro should be permitted to participate in the government of the nation."—Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi. In the department of commerce and labor at Washington 125 Afro-Americans are employed, and they receive $78,856 in salaries every year. It is said that the northern democrat is opposed to the southern democratic injustice to the Afro-American. If so he ought to fight it in the councils of the party. The colleges for the education of Afro-American youth in the south are crowded with students. Roosevelt prosperity has enabled parents to send their children off to school. In New Orleans last week a Caucasian killed an Afro-American in cold blood. The Picayune referred to the matter as "an unfortunate accident." The Picayune is a democratic paper. While such fellows as Tillman and Jeff Davis are raving over "social equality," and breathing out threatenings and slaughter, it is noticeable that their candidates, Parker and Davis, completely ignore the issue. Says the Charleston News and Courier: "We have abiding faith in the recognition by our northern brethren of the fact that the Anglo-Saxon race is entitled to run this country." There are many people in this country who are not Anglo-Saxons, such as the Germans, French, Scandinavians, Irish, Bohemians, Hungarians, Italians, Spanish and other nationalities. Everywhere they assist the Anglo-Saxon in "running" the country, and in many of the large cities and some of the states they have relieved him of his burden of ruling. A recent political mass meeting in Vicksburg, Miss., broke up in a row. Several shots were fired, and one man has a bullet in his side. It is needless to add that the Afro-American们 were not in it. They've been disfranchised in Mississippi. Parker overlooks the deplorable condition of the Afro-American people in this country. He forgets that thousands are slaughtered in cold blood every year because they dare exercise their rights as free men, but looks across the deep blue sea at the Filipinos, ten thousand miles away, and pretends that he wishes to secure for those brown people the liberties his party denies black people in America. The Best Book of Journalism. Walter Williams, the well-known Missouri editor, in an address to Missouri university students on "Why Study the Bible," characterized the book of Luke as the best text book of journalism to be had. "Luke," he said, "is always clear, courteous, truthful—first lessons to be learned by the young journalist." CENTER OF NEGRO EDUCATION At Atlanta, Ga., are six large institutions for the higher education of the negro, making this southern city the center of negro education of the world. Twenty-one hundred men and women, boys and girls, annually enter these institutions, going out after a time to spread the learning there received, until there is distinctly recognizable at this time a slow but steady upward movement among the negroes of the south. These institutions, finely endowed, finely equipped, and finely conducted, make Atlanta the center of negro education for the world.—Martha Goode Anderson, in Gunton's Magazine. Good Advice.

Donahue, of 1526 Morgan street. We knew him before he lost his sight. He has been blind for over two years. Mr. Donahue is a worthy gentleman, and although blind, he and his amiable wife are conducting a barber shop. We that are blessed with out five senses should feel it our duty to assist this gentleman. Now, if you want to help him, go there at least once a week from your regular barber and get shaved. We will try and do our part. You can buy a paper from him, the St. Louis Palladium, which will net him $2\frac{1}{2} cents on every Palladium that he sells. Remember, gentlemen and ladies, we have got our sight, but we can not tell how long, so help him. He has lost one of the most important senses that men and women possess, that of sight. Remember, 1526 Morgan street. Next week we will pay our attentions to some of our so-called high-toned girls, who are on the street from 7 o'clock p. m. till 11:30, or have some boys or men sitting around their homes till 12 p. m., then claim to be of the bon ton class. Watch out! The Palladium man is an owl. Hon. Champ Clark's defeat in 1890 was due to the canvassing of Mr. Chas. Turner in Montgomery, Wellsville, Brunswick and Sturgeon. Chas. Turner is a wheelhorse in politics. Let the good work go on. Stop that cough. Go and get Pickett's Cough Drops. CITY NEWS.

School-girls had better not keep such late hours. No man will get a night owl for a wife, or one who will not work. When they can get work, they will be an honor. The St. Louis Palladium has proven to be the best all-round Negro Republican paper in the country doing the state campaign of Missouri.—The Southern Sentiment. Mrs. Nannie Richardson, of Lebanon, Tenn., who visited the World's fair, and her brother, Rev. R. H. Brown, last July, is reported very sick. We hope for her speedy recovery. Miss Pauline Ward, of Chicago, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. R. B. Stovall, at 2224 Market street. Also Mr. J. Williams, cousin of Mrs. Stovall, is with her. They will remain for some weeks. Rev. R.

O'Hara was injured by a Transit car on September 15. He has been confined to his bed since that time. A consultation by physicians decided his case to be a critical one, as his injuries are internal. Dr. W. P. Curtis attended him in the absence of his regular physician, Dr. Scott, who is now in Poplar Bluff. Mr. Chas, Tonsall has opened a bath house at 2234 Market street. This is the only exclusive bath house in the city for Colored people, and Mr. Tonsall feels highly pleased in his new venture, feeling sure of success. He declares that all requirements of a first class bath house will be in evidence. An expert attendant will be in charge. The officers of the Tuskegee normal and industrial institute of Tuskegee, Ala., have gradually matured a plan which should very deeply interest the young men and women of the race who are seeking an education. This plan enables the young men and young women who so desire to attend school at night and work at an industry or trade during the day, or in the case of those who are able to pay a small monthly sum, to attend school during the day and at the same time learn a trade or work at some industry. This improved plan gives superior opportunity for literary and academic training, and at the same time gives equal opportunity for the learning of a trade. Last year 36 states were represented by students at Tuskegee, and nine foreign countries. The attendance during the coming year promises to be very large, and the class of students promises to be of a high grade. THE NEGRO AND COTTON. The reappearance of Prof. Hoffmann, the Negro scientific expert in cotton culture, and the announcement of his successful experiments in the production of a most excellent brand of cotton at Lagos, in Africa, proves that a serious effort is being made to develop the cotton-growing industry of west Africa. The present high price and the alleged scarcity of cotton has convinced the European spinners that they can no longer rely upon the American supply. According to Sir Alfred Jones, president of the Liverpool chamber of commerce, "it is absolutely necessary to make some effort to provide a supply from other sources," inasmuch as "America will soon need all the cotton she grows. The possibilities of Africa as a cotton-producing country, in his view, "can not well be overestimated." Plantations embracing 20,000 acres in Lagos, under the English, and 30,000 acres, in Yoroba, under the Germans, have been established, and are fluorishing Gins and presses have been sent out from Liverpool, and millions of dollars raised by the English Cotton Growers' association and the German government to push the work ahead. The German government has employed Prof. J. N. Callaway and the English association Prof. Hoffmann, both Colored American cotton experts, to supervise the work. The natives are going into cotton growing with enthusiasm. "America," says Sir Alfred, "may yet have to look to west Africa for her cotton supply, because I believe cotton will be produced more cheaply in west Africa than in the United States." Above all other movements as a factor in the solution of the Negro problem is the utilization of Negro labor as a mighty commercial factor. Cotton made him a slave, and cotton will set him free and make him a man. The invasion and conquest of the lands in tropics of the globe by European arms and civilization has greatly increased the demand and enhanced the value of cotton, the great Negro staple of the earth. England, France and Germany need grow their own cotton, and they want the American cotton hand of our southern states to show them how. The eyes of the southern planter are gradually opening to this situation, and he must see that if he persists in his oppression of the Negro that it will no longer be a political or social question, but a commercial question, a question of bread and butter for the white southerner. All the Negro needs to do is to hold up his hands, and these great powers will say come under our flag, and we will give you lands and establish states under our suzranity for you to govern. This is where the shoe will pinch, and there is where cotton, which once made the Nero a slave, will, through his skill in its culture, permanently establish his freedom and make him a national power. Messrs. Wright & Bolen have opened a drug store at 2333 Market street. These two gentlemen thoroughly understand the drug business. They are graduates of Howard university, of Washington, D. C. They are polished 'gentlemen, and ask the patronage of the public. They were formerly with the Harris & Mosby drug store. READ AND THINK. If you believe in honest politics vote the republican ticket straight. Under the Roosevelt administration there are 13 Afro-Americans in the diplomatic and consular service. When the chilly days of November come, cover Parker out of sight by your votes for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. There are 1,891 Afro-Americans employed by the district government at Washington, D. C., and their salaries aggregate about $850,000. The Afro-American people know too well what democratic success means to be beguiled by the smooth talk of the democratic spellbinders. Under the Roosevelt administration there are more than 5,000 Afro-Americans in the public service of the country, and they receive about $3,000,000 in salaries. The American people have a substratum of good sense, and although they may listen to the democratic speakers, they will vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. J. M. Turner says that there is no room in the democratic party for a respectable Negro. It took him 20 years to find that out. EXHIBITION This mule will be loaded soon. As some of our subscribers think that we have got too good to put their name under this, a number of our subscribers in the state will appear. The Afro-Americans will never turn from the republican party and go over to the Democrats who are daily murdering the people of their race in the south. As soon as McKinley was elected in 1896 confidence was restored, and we have had prosperity ever since. Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and let the good times continue. Fifty Japanese families have settled in Louisiana, where they will start rice farms. They were welcomed by the local democrats, who are great admirers of colored men—from the orient. Parker has little to say, but if elected, his acts will be in accord with the wishes of the men who made him a presidential possibility, and these men are all against the Afro-American. Hon. J. Milton Turned, ex-minister to Liberia, who has been a democrat for many years, has returned to the republican fold. Turner says there is no place in the democratic party for the black man. THE TICKET. Governor—Cyrus P. Waibridge of St. Louis. Lieutenant Governor—John C. McKinley of Puaam county. Treasurer—Jacob F. Gmelich of Cooper county. Secretary of State—John E.

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 marvelous 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 Sipril 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. Bazaars 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 religious 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 silks-draperies, 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, Castanete 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 klosks 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.

THE PASSING OF HENRY C. PAYNE Death Came After One of the Recurring Sinking Spells. ALL HIS FAMILY WAS PRESENT A Brief Sketch of His Career Shows What Ability and Industry May Achieve When Intelligent-ly Dissected Iy Directed. Washington, Oct. 6.—Postmaster-General Henry C. Payne passed away at 6:15 Tuesday night, following one of the sinking spells which had occurred at intervals during several days. The end came peacefully while the patient was in an unconscious condition that had lasted six hours. Mr. Payne was 60 years of age. A. H. At the bedside when death came were Mrs. Payne, Maj. and Mrs. W. F. Cameron, of Jamestown, N. Y.; Mr. and Mrs. Winfield H. Cameron, of Milwaukee; Charles T. Jones and Miss Louise Jones, relatives; Private Secretary Whitney and Miss Mari Barbie. Sketch of His Life. Henry C. Payne took to the office of postmaster-general of the United States a wide experience in business and politics and a training in postal matters which he had received during the ten years from 1876 to 1886, when he occupied the office of postmaster of Milwaukee. Mr. Payne belonged to the army of America's greatest men who have risen from poverty to affluence, from insignificance to prominence, because they possessed the requisite ability and equally necessary quality of industry. To fill the portfolio of postmaster-general had long been his ambition. This was well known to his friends. At the time that Mr. Payne achieved his ambition he was the republican national committeeman from Wisconsin. There never was any other man who kept more closely in touch with affairs politically in Wisconsin than he did. He was noted for the accuracy with which he predicted the result in that state of every election, national, state, congressional or municipal. Mr. Payne was born in Ashfield, Mass., November 23, 1843. His father was Orrin P. Payne. His mother's maiden name was Eliza Ames. He was graduated from an academy in Shelburn Falls, Mass., in 1859. Ambitious for greater opportunities,young Payne decided to take Horace Greeley's famous advice to young men. Going westward, he selected Milwaukee as the scene of his career. He secured employment in a dry goods store, where his intelligence and his industry speedily won for him recognition and promotion. Business and Politics. His business and political career parallel each other, and both were crowned with success. From his modest place in a dry goods store his restless energy impelled him to branch out into other undertakings. He speedily became recognized as a shrewd organizer and promoter, and his advice and assistance were sought in projects in which the leading financiers of Wisconsin were interested. October 15, 1867, he was married to Lydia W. Van Dyke. About the same time he severed his connection with the dry goods store, which had given him his business start. He was president of the Wisconsin Telegraph Co. from 1886 until his death. He was president of the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Co. from 1889 until the same time. From 1893 to 1895, inclusive, he was receiver for the Northern Pacific railway. In political affairs he was no less industrious. He served continuously of many years as secretary and chairman of the Young Men's Republican club of Milwaukee; secretary and chairman of the Republican county committee; secretary and chairman of the Republican state central committee. He retired from the chairmanship of the Republican state central committee in 1892. He was postmaster of Milwaukee from 1876 to 1886; a member of the National republican committee from 1880 until his death, and a Bumper Corn Crop. Des Moines, Ia., Oct. 6.—Ninety per cent, of Iowa's bumper corn crop is out of danger, and the remainder will be by October 10, according to the official report of Director J. R. Sage of the Iowa climate and corn crop bucau. President to Hunt in Wyoming. Cody, Wyo., Oct. 6—President Roosevelt will spend a few days hunting big game in this state after the result of the election is assured. He will be the guest of Buffalo Bill. Several Englishmen also will be in the party. delegate to the Republican national conventions of 1888 and 1892. After funeral services in Washington the remains will be taken to Wisconsin for interment. THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION. Due Honors to Be Paid the Memory of the Departed. Washington, Oct. 6.—The president has issued the following proclamation: To the People of the United States: Henry Clay Payne, postmaster-general of the United States, died in this city at ten minutes past six o'clock p.m., yesterday. Rising to eminence by his own efforts, successful in his enterprises, attaining to positions of high trust in private business, energetic and conscientious in his relations with his fellow-citizens, of singularly gentle, loyal and lovable nature, inspired by a large sense of the duties of a true citizen, and winning the respect and esteem of all with whom he associated, he was called, in the fullness of his powers, to discharge the duties of a peculiarly onerous and responsible office in the high councils of the nation. His career is a good example for good citizens to follow and his untimely death is mourned by all. The president directs that the several executive departments and their dependencies shall show fitting regard for the memory of this distinguished public man; that the departments in the city of Washington shall be closed between the hours of nine o'clock, a.m., on the day of the funeral, Friday, the 7th instant, and that the national flag shall be displayed at half-stan upon all the public buildings throughout the United States from now until the funeral shall have taken place. By direction of the president. [Signed] JOHN HAY [Signed] Department of State, Washington Oct. ITALIAN'S STRANGE STORY Tells of His Treatment By the Authorities of the Congo Free State, Rome, Oct. 6.—Capt. Baccari, who was sent by the Italian government to the Congo, 16 months ago, to study the country with a view to the possible settlement of Italians there, has returned to this city with a remarkable story of his treatment by the authorities of the independent state. The captain asserts that no sooner had he arrived in the Congo country than he was poisoned at the instigation of officials, and only escaped death because being a physician he was able to treat himself. Subsequently, Baccari alleges, the governor general tried to have him locked up as a lunatic. Before leaving, Baccari relates, he entered suit against the governor-general for both alleged crimes. ANOTHER AIRSHIP RUINED The Machine of Hippolyte Francois, Poorly Packed, Was Ruined by Water in Transit. St. Louis, Oct. 6.—Another airship entered into the World's fair aeroautatic contest has been ruined, and, according to the owner, Hippolyte Francois, of Nantes, France, will be unable to take part in the contest. Francois reported Wednesday that he had discovered that the silk bag had been ruined in transit from New York to St. Louis as a result of water and damp weather. The water, he says, seeped through the box in which the airship was inclosed, causing the silk to rot. When the bag was being removed from the box Wednesday morning it tore in a number of places. Francois declares that it would be unsafe to attempt to make an ascent with it. RECEPTION TO JUDGE PARKER Democratic Presidential Candidate Makes First Public Appearance in New York City. New York, Oct. 6.—The first public reception of Judge Alton B. Parker since his nomination for the presidency was tendered him Wednesday night by the Manhattan club. The club house was taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the invited guests. Judge Parker and Judge D. Cady Herrick, democratic nominee for governor of New York, stood side by side on the platform at the east end of the large-dining room, flanked by the reception committee. Judge Parker did not speak, but contented himself with shaking hands with the hundreds who surged about him. Lady Curzon Better.

CRIME'S CARNIVAL IN THREE STATES Bold Bank Robbery Near Council Bluffs, Ia. BOY THIEVES IN GAY GOTHAM Sensational and Wholesale Escape of Prisoners From the Sloux Falls (S. B.) Penitentiary—Two of Council Bluffs, Ia., Oct. 7.—A robber walked into the savings bank at Treynor, a small town 15 miles east of Council Bluffs, Thursday afternoon, and at the point of a revolver compelled the assistant cashier, Miss Frances Flood, to take $1,700 from the cash drawer and vault and put the money in his bag. Then the robber drove the young woman, who was alone in the bank, into the big vault, and locked her in. Customers coming into the bank half an hour heard the girl's screams for help and released her from the vault. She at once told of the hold-up, and an armed posse was started after the robber. The police and the sheriff's office at Council Bluffs were also notified, and started armed men into the country to intercept the robber, but up to midnight he had not been apprehended. SYNDICATE OF BOY THIEVES. New York Hotels Systematically Robbed By Bell Boys. New York, Oct. 7.—The police have unearth what they believe to be a syndicate of bell boy thieves extended among the big hotels of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis, in the arrest of Arthur Fraser, an employee of the Metropole, Thursday. Fraser was arrested on suspicion of having a hand in the many robberies of jewelry and clothing that have occurred at the hotel in the last month. A detective captured him after living for three days at the hotel in the guise of a man with plenty of money. In Fraser's pockets were found letters from bell boys from Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis. From these letters the police think the gang worked together, sending their loot to each other to dispose of. In a letter signed "Vernon Lobard, Washington hotel, St. Louis," and dated September 22, the writer informed Fraser that he was sending him jewelry from which he should realize $1,000 at pawn shops.

Wade WOMAN AND HOME Buttons Will Be the Conspicuous Feature of All Autumn and Winter Garments. Fashion makers are working under the impression that we will have a long and pleasant autumn season, and with this end in view are turning out some charming between-season garments. The Eton coat and skirt here illustrated are of light brown linen trimmed with bands of tucking and a little embroidery around the neck and buttons. With this suit goes a white straw toque with solid brim of pale green cut leaves. The second gown is a dainty frock of pale blue voile trimmed with bands, cuffs and lapels of sapphire blue silk. The white straw hat is trimmed with shaded blue plumage. The New York Times gives some reliable hints concerning toilet accessories for the coming season. Buttons, it says, TWO GOIVNS FOR AUTUMN. will be conspicuous the coming fall and winter as ornamental accessories to handsome toilets. Properly used on waistcoats, cuffs and girdles, they are artistic and beautiful, and there is the additional attraction to the woman who wishes exclusive styles, that while the masses may also use buttons their purses are unable to compass the really handsome fancy buttons that partake of the nature of cabochons and, consequently there is no danger of their trespassing on the exclusives' territory. Buttons for the Directoire coats are a necessity, and some very beautiful jeweled ones, as well as those in nouveau art designs artistically worked in colored metals, will be used. Rhinestones, many in flat designs, will lead these jeweled buttons. Some of the new metal buttons are so made as to closely resemble delicate embroideries on silken grounds. New yet decidedly old-fashioned buttons like those our mothers used to wear are covered with colored silks, tufted with velvets of contrasting shades. Indeed, several of the novelties in buttons are reminiscent of the preceding generation. Coral and turquoise cabochons set in rims of silver, gold or steel are shown, but these are not new. As Pavuin is using Dresden buttons in the new yellowish-tinted reds and purplish blues with patterns outlined in gold, these buttons are among the latest importations. Other colors as well as those mentioned are also in evidence. A new thing in pearl buttons is the introduction of colorad centers. Crochet and braid buttons to combine with braid trimmingss are quite the thing. Another of the new buttons is a tuffed-back black ivory for use on tailored and mourning wearing apparel. The tuffed back permits the button to be easily sewed on and retained by the garments it is destined for use upon. In the better braids for trimming purposes the Japanese patterns and ideas are seen, and the diamond-patterned silk braids are much in evidence. A novelty in passementeries is the use of suede in various shades as a background for the embroideries and appliques of silk and beads. Suede is also being used for vests with collars and cuffs to match, but there is no prospect of its being generally fashionable. A dark-black broadcloth coat and skirt had its coat showing a pale yellow suede vest embroidered in tarnished gold effects and having buttons to match the embroidery. The cuffs and flat collar showed strips of the embroidered suede set in the dark blue velvet forming the foundation of these accessories. How Beauty Is Preserved. How Beauty is Preserved. A writer in the Chicago News says that late hours and the excessive use of the eyes in poor light or on trains and cars, worry and ill health are the prolific source of wrinkles. The woman who is asleep before midnight, who wears glasses if she needs them to read with, who does not use her eyes by a poor light and who follows these common-sense directions can, if she is still young and wrinkleless, preserve her complexion for many years, and she who is already showing imperfections can prevent their becoming more marked—in many instances removing them—by properly cleansing and nourishing her skin. And that at a very small cost, as these directions are especially for those possessing small incomes. Quality. "Why shouldn't they be in society?" "Well, I don't know. They—" "Certainly their money is as good as anybody's, and their manners as bad." —Puck. A paragraph which has been going the rounds rather extensively, informs the housewife that a little soda (sale-ratus) added to stewed fruit when it is being cooked lessens the quantity of sugar required to sweeten it. While this is true, it is equally the fact that the soda accomplishes this result by destroying the acidity of the fruit, and in the process the life and flavor are, to an extent, injured. A preserve to which soda has been added is rather flat and tasteless when compared with one which is made entirely of fruit, sweetened with sugar. The wise and truly economical housewife will not destroy the flavor of a healthful and pleasing dish of stewed fruit in order to effect a saving so very very small. Fruit that is overly acid, such as cranberries, red currants, gooseberries, etc., will call for less sugar in sweetening if they are prepared in the following manner: After washing the fruit, place it in an agate kettle and cover with clear, cold water. Set the kettle over the fire and bring the contents quickly to the boiling point; pour off the water, and then set the kettle where the fruit will cook slowly in the usual way, adding only enough water to keep the fruit from burning. Add sugar sufficient to make the preserve palatable, and do not add the sugar until just before the fruit is removed from the fire, since less is required than when the sweetening is cooked with the fruit. The juice or water that was poured off the fruit, at first, can be made very cold, sweetened with sugar and served as a drink; it may also be used in place of water or milk for the foundation of a pudding sauce, a little sugar being added and the whole thickened with corn starch or arrowroot. Apples or pears may be sliced and cooked in this fruit juice instead of using water in the usual way, and it can also be used in mincemeat, in fruit cakes or boiled puddings. Fruit should never be placed on the front of the range and stewed like a vegetable. Its appearance is much more attractive if it is kept as entire as possible. Apples and pears should be cut into quarters or eighths, and laid in the saucepan carefully, a very little water or fruit juice added and the cover kept on the saucepan all the time they are being cooked.—What to Eat.

Longing for lovely hands is natural. It is a recognized fact that French-women possess the most beautiful hands. The hand itself is neither too fat nor too thin, but exactly in proportion with the long, slender, tapering fingers, while the nails are of a beautiful delicate pink, their charm enhanced by the pretty half-moons at the base of each. With the view of learning the secret of some of the beautiful hands in Paris, I once called upon the best-known manicure of the French capital and asked her to tell me her method of dealing with hands which had grown thick or fat, with the fingers short and square, says a writer in the Philadelphia North American. "In the first place," she said, "I get a basin of skin food or soft sweet oil and fill it until the hands are almost covered.

The doctors told me my kidneys were affected and prescribed medicines for me, but I found that it was only waste of time and money to take them and began to fear that I would never get well. A friend advised me to try Donal's Kidney Pills. Within a week after I began using them I was so much better that I decided to keep up the treatment, and when I had used a little over two boxes I was entirely well. I have now enjoyed the best of health for more than four months, and words can but poorly express my gratitude." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Although they won't admit it many People who suffer from sick headaches and other ails get them straight from the coffee they drink and it iss easily Proved if they're not afraid to fave it to a test as in the case of a lady ia Connelisviile, “I had been a sufferer from sick headaches for twenty-five years and anyone who has ever had a bad sick headache knows what I suffered. Sometimes three days in the week 1 would haye to remain in bed, at other times I couldn’t lie down the pain would be so great. My life was a tor- ture and if I went away from home for a day I always came back more dead than alive, “One day I was telling a woman my troubles and she told me she knew that it was probably coffee caused it. She said she had been cured by stop- Ping coffee and using Postum Food Cottes and urged me to try this food rink, “That's how I came to send out and get some Postum and from that time I've never been without it for it suits my taste and has entirely cured all ct my old troubles. All I did was to leave off the coffee and tea and drink Well made Postum in its place. This change has done me more good than everything else put together. “Our house was like a drug store for my husband bought everything he heard of to help me without doing any good but when I began on the Postum my headaches ceased and the other troubles quickly disappeared. [ have a friend who had an experience just like mine and Postum cured her just as it did me. “Postum not only eured the head- ®ches but my general health has been improved and I am much strenger than before.

PLACE.—Uncertain; but perhaps one of the piaces where was a school of the prophets, either Gligal, Bethel or Jericho, Human Need and Divine Resources. ‘The Widow and Her Need, (V. 1.).— ‘What we know of the widow: (1) She was a Godly woman. I. Tim. 5:5 gives us a picture of the Godly widow. God holds such in special regard. (I Tim. 5:3.) And one test of true religion is ministering to such in their need. (Jas. 1:27.) (2) Was known to Elisha. The faithful, God-fearing lives of both her husband and herself proved excellent capital on which to do business. Godli- ness does pay. (I Tim. 4:8). (3) Was in the clutches of the oppressive credi- tor. Affliction and misfortune are not always a sign of sinor folly. (John 9:1-3) (4) Had two sons who in ac- cordance with the custom of those days were to be taken to satisfy the debt. (Ley. 25:39, Matt, 18:25.) (5) Ter need was urgent. “The creditor is come.” The day of trouble is the éay to pray. (Psalm 50:15.) ‘The Prophet and His Help (Vs. 2-4).— Two questions werg asked by the pro- phet, “What shall I do for thee?” “What hast thou in the house?” (1) God always wants us to tell Him our desires. To tell God what we want, clarifies our vision, and strengthens our faith. (2) God always uses what we have, be it ever go little, as the medium of blessing. Strange Instructions—(1) Borrow empty vessels. (2) Shut herself and her sons in the hcuse, (3) Pour out her little pot of ofl and perhaps waste it. Surely, here was a test of faith. If the widow bed been like most people seek- ing help, she would have had her own ideas as to methods. (1) May not the borrowing of empty vessels suggest the need of greater capacity. We need tobe enlarged for more of God’s fullness. (2} May not the shut door and the seclusion teach us the need of getting alone with God where His blessing may descend upon us. (3) And may not the pour- ing out of the oil and its miraculous in- crease typify the multiplying of spiritual gifts and poweras we pour out our heart: and our lives in behalf of needy souls all about us. The Obedience and Its Reward (Vs 5-7.).—Unwavering faith and implicit obedience mark the conduct of the widow. The empty vessels were bor- rowed in the face, probably, of curios looks, and prying questions and sneers of ridicule. The door was closed, shut- | tng herself and her sons away from all other earthly help and every moment ‘the knock of the creditor was expected. And what faith! Only the little pot of ofl {n hand, and the empty vessels on every hand. How seemingly impossible to fill them. But the pot of ofl and the empty dishes was not all the widow had. Ske had the word of the prophet. And we have the word of God on which to depend. Letus lay hold of itas the widow aid of the prophet’s word, which was really the word of God spoken through His servant, That little pot of ofl never ceased its outpouring stream of ofl until every vessel was filled'tothe brim. That 4s the way God gives of His riches in Christ Jesus. Begin to pour out your- self in Christly ministry to others and “while there is an empty vessel about you ‘to fill, a need soul to help, the flow will ‘not cease. | But what is she to do with the oll? ‘The prophet did not tell her. She must go back and tell him of what had come ‘to pass and ask him for further diree- ‘Hon. Without question she has obeyed “his instructions. She has gone as far as sheecan. Now forthe nextstep. Here is a lesson for every Christian. True faith ‘does not ask to see all the way. True faith goes straight ahead as far as the ‘instructions will carry and then is time ‘to go to God for the next step. The oil sold, the creditors paid, the future pro- vided for was the reward of obedient faith and faithful obedience. How God always hears the cry of His children, and how certainly will He honor faith and obedience. The Psalmist’s declaration tn Ps, 87:25 finds illustration in this les son. The Quiet Hour. ‘Men seldom seek to dissect a religion until it is dead. Seeds of sin must be judged by their eneaves of sorrow. Its need of salvation is the secret of the world’s sadness. ‘Tho really busy man always has more time than the man who only thinks heis basy. It is rot wise to put all your energies into worl:ing for old rebels to the neg- lect of new recruits. ‘One Father of all mnst mean one fam- Uy fOr all.—Ram’s Horn Plantation Chill Cure is-buaranlee IN GREAT DISTRESS (Mra. Brooks Became So Wey She Thinks | She Would Have Bea But For ‘Dr, Williams Pink Pills, Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks, of No. 45 Lin- coln Park, Chicago, TMlinois, gives the following account of acer cure from dis tressing spells of vomiting : “For five years off and on I waa treated in vain by different doctors for relief from a stomach trouble which showed itself in frequent and trying spells of vomiting. Part of the time I was able to work aud again I would be confined to bed for three or four days in succession. y |‘ My stomach was at times so delicate that it would not retain even plain water. | The spells would sometimes occur at in- tervals of half an hour, aud would leave ‘ie s0 weak that I would be compelled ‘to lie down between them. I would have several of them during the night following a day of such attacks. Finally I became so weakened that I had to give up working altogether. I weighed only ninety-fonr pounds. “Last January I rend about Dr. Wil- Tams’ Pink Pills for Pale People in one | of the Chicago daily papers and bought |wbox and begun to use them. After I had used half a box I found that I could | keep on my stomach the foodLa.2. I was encouraged by this and kept on using the pills for four months. At the end of that time the vomiting spells had ceased altogether aud my weight weut up to 142 pounds and is still growing. “T think I surely would have died if ithad not been for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for I sometimes yomited clear blood, and for three or four days at a time I could not eat a bite of anything. | One doctor said T had chronic inflamma- tion of the stomach, and another said my difficnlty was a cancer, but none of their medicines did me any good at all, Winally I concluded that I did not have blood ‘enough to digest my food aud I began the treatment that has cured me, I can cat anything now, and have strength for all kinds of work. always keep Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills on hand, aud I recommend tiem to my friends Decause I know they enred me.” Dr. Williams’Pink Pills agree with the most delicate stomachs and strengthen the digestive organs until they do their work perfectly.

Every labor union in Boston was represented, Wednesday night, in an audience that filled Faneuil hall at a workingman's public mass meeting in connection with the International Peace congress. Five members of the civil service commission and the park commissioner of New York city have been summarily removed by Mayor McCellan on the charge of violating the civil service rules. --- NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolina, 12 each. 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Missouriette, South Carolina, and Florida, 6 each.....1 Washington, D. C.....1 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each.....1 California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3..... Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado, each 3..... Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mon- Published in the south Published in the west Published in the east.. Total* 171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the daily daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. A. M. E. ZION.

Tenth District—Bishop Tyree. Eleventh District—Bishop Tanner. Twelfth District—Bishop Harhy. Thirteenth District—Bishop Smith. Hon. Charles Nagle, Col. Walbridge and Chairman Niedringhaus have known the worth of Charles Turner. J. W. Wheeler has canvassed the state with him and let him be placed in charge of all that pertains to the Negro—as he and they are well- acquainted with Aunt Hager's children. Some of the southern journals are discussing the question: "Was the fourteenth amendment ever adopted?" When Roosevelt and a republican congress are elected they will be shown that the fourteenth amendment was not only adopted, but that it will be enforced. We have stopped free-doings in the paper. Since the World's fair we have received hundreds of locals concerning coming guests, and those who are here. The senders undoubtedly expect the articles to be published free gratis. Through investigation it has often been discovered that the senders are neither subscribers of The Palladium, nor they even bear a friendly attitude toward it. Any locals not accompanied by a compensation, will find their way into the waste basket. We have known C. P. Walbridge for the past twenty-five years, always as a true, unflinching republican. During all that time we have never had cause to doubt his republicanism nor his worth as a business man. Long before he ever held a political office he displayed his worth as a true friend. Walbridge was president of the city council and was just and upright to all, regardless of color. When he was elected mayor of our city his administration was clear and business-like, and under his reign there were more Negroes employed then ever since. Let the republicans gather together and stand for the whole ticket. B. B. HALL, Tennessee Shaving Parlor Everything Neat, Clean and Up-to-date. 1320 Morgan Street, ST. LOUIS, MO Mrs. W. E.
