Jeff Davis, the third-term governor of Arkansas, was in St. Louis for about an hour Thursday. He was returning to Little Rock', the Arkansas capital, from Malden, Mo., where he spoke at a democratic rally Wednesday. At the political meeting Gov. Davis declared for the segregation' of the school tax and his reference to the Negroes was similar to that made in Texas on a recent occasion. Gov. Davis corroborated what he is quoted to have said on the subject. He added: "In repard to Negro equality, I want to say that when the Arkansas legislature meets next January I shall recommend that the taxes collected from Negroes be used in educating the Negroes, and that the money collected from the whites be used in educating the whites. I believe that law will pass, and I personally will urge its adoption. "We may have a lot of dead Negroes in Arkansas, but we shall never have Negro equality, and I want to say that I would rather tear, screaming from her mother's arms, my little daughter and bury her alive, with her face down, than to see her arm in arm with the best Negro on earth."—St. Louis Star. We can not see how the railroads are permitted to carry such cattle on their roads. If this is the sentiment of the southern white people, God save us from them. A Pleasant Contest: The first of October a very pleasant contest was entered into by a newspaper of Harrisburg, Pa., among the ministers of that city. But the winner was Rev. Martin L. Blalock, pastor of the Wesley Union A. M. E. Zion church. The prize was a free pass and money enough to spend for several days from Harrisburg to St. Louis. Of course the gentleman had to take in The Pike. That cost from $2.50 to $4.00 per day, so you see Rev. Martin L. Blalock was dead in it. We met him at the Newport restaurant, where all the first-class people go. Globe, Post and Star For many years the Globe-Democrat and St. Louis Star have had Negro gentlemen getting news for them among the Colored people.

THE DOOR OF HOPE I can not consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the ground of race or color.—PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Those wanting new fall costumes made will please call upon Mrs. R. H. Brown, now called The Newstead Avenue Dressmaker. ALL THOUGHT Produced That Proves Beneficial to Humanity Are Undoubtedly Blessed,by the Almighty. Speech Delivered by W. L. Smith, at Liberty Party Headquarters, Oct. 31, 1904. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen—I am deeply impressed with the importance of these great principles that constitute the platform of this Liberty Party. Now it is a fact, known to us all, that degeneracy of the Negro as a factor of America's civilization is apparent, yet its only means of rescue is by the principles of this Liberty Party. It has reached my knowledge that people in the different parts of this country have attempted to denounce the principles of this party, but the truth and facts in every case proved equal to the test; so we are not at all alarmed, as we know that the great laws of progression and retrogression, have been in operation and observed in every great course since the days of Noah, and while he was building the Ark some of the people abused, rebuked and rediculed him, and so they continued to do until the great deluge of the world heard it, hissed, whispered and talked. The illiterate, unscrupulous and shallow-minded of our race, saying that we are fools, cranks and would-be-democrats, so we pity them, and will continue to do so until their vetic systems have been illuminated by the light of necessity. I feel truly glad to-night to see so many faces with smiles bearing the sunlight ray of brilliance, the magnitude of gigantic hope, and pleasant countenances bearing expressions requisite for the purpose for which we have assembled. These meetings of the Liberty party are to our race what the meetings were to the nation when the Liberty Bell was rung, and the Declaration of Independence was declaimed, when the flag of the nation was hurled, the Stars and Stripes, the flag of this grand old Union. A white man informed me the other day that the Negro was in a prosperous condition, that he got clothes to wear, and plenty to eat, and that he had his freedom, so what more does he want? But he gave no reasons, other than prejudice for their expression. But, oh! My conception of the American Negro from his future to the present age, in short is as follows: Conceived in ignorance, born upon the bed of poverty, nursed upon the breast of fear, incredulity and superstition, nurtured in passion's prison—These physical defects. Among the most vital of these principles that constitute this political scheme, are three in number: First—The emancipation of the Nebro from partizan slavery, and to vindicate the principles of partizan equality. Second—To advocate the pensioning of the ex-slaves, which will place this country an an equal footing with other nations that have provided for their enancipated slaves. Third—And last, but not lease, the abolition of the lynch law, which has proved so detrimental to us all. These principles mean to us protection and citizenship—they mean life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The number of points that I have selected to talk from to-night are seven, which corresponds to the seven fundamental principles that constitute the platform of the Liberty party, and which also corresponds to the seven brilliant stars of the physical heaven, which also correspond to the seven lectual stars in the universe of mentality, which, and by the lights of which we shall see to unlock the doors of success of human inertia, not only impedes the progress of mental thought, but renders it partially inactive, then the law of contentment places the Negro into the cradle of agitation, or forces him into the cesspool of desolation, and now, as refused materials, he is partially crushed under the iron heels of trusts, corporations and labor unions, or thrown down, as it were, by the force of circumstances, and swept away as trash, by a great torrent. So to-day he is lingering on the back ground of millenial, where the autithetical gems destroy all hopes of a prosperous life, and its destiny is death. His social equality is not to be considered; his industrial equality is a thing of the past; the product of his labor is nearly all in the pocket of the white man; his education is becoming useless, his suffrage a mockery, and his liberty a farce. For 246 years the Negro has toiled and filled the lap of the nation with wealth, the product of his labor, also our political earnings as pay for our political loyalty and fidelity has been pocketed by the predominate race, and for 38 years the Negro's shortage has increased, and now it is only $1,368,000,000 annually, so at this period the Liberty party simply demands honesty. These electrical incentives operating upon the human mind, seem almost sufficient to make the blood of a dead man boil, his heart heat and his pulse tremble. So the Liberty party is the only party in existence that involves the principles that will lift the Negro from his present state of poverty, ignorance and superstition, to that of the highest type of an American citizen. We have about 6,000 candidates running for offices on the Liberty ticket, some of whom will be ejected, which will be the best thing that has happened for the Negro since his Emancipation Proclamation. The Liberty Party knows that the time has come, and now at hand, when the Negro must look for his job, and not the job for the Negro. The highest duty of mankind other than his duty to God is to think and act in that way and manner that will elevate, inspire and benefit himself, his neighbor, his race and his country. In conclusion, we truly hope that the God of our father will bless us, help and protect us, and see that our success is assured. So vote the Liberty ticket. It means racial integrity, restage and self-respect. W. L. SMITH. Bud Harrington, a Negro teamster, residing at No. 1366 Morgan street, died Wednesday night at the city hospital of a bullet wound inflicted by his pastor, Rev. John Evans, of No. 1716 Linden street. The shot was fired in a quarrel at Fourteenth and Morgan streets, Wednesday morning, and the wounded man died at 10 o'clock, Wednesday evening. The fight was the result of an old dispute between the pastor and parishioner as to the money for which certain hymn books had been sold, Harrington claiming that his wife had not received half of the proceeds, as agreed. Patrolmen Steffen and Biggio witnessed the quarrel from the opposite corner and saw the preacher draw the revolver and fire. They ran to him and captured him immediately. The shot entered Harrington's abdomen. Evans was taken to the holdover, where he is held. He is pastor of a church at Twelfth and Morgan streets, where Harrington and his family were regular attendants.—From the St. Louis Republic. RETURNED HOME Miss Eariell Brandon, of Edwardsville, Ill., returned home, after spending a few days very pleasantly. Miss Brandon was much entertained during her short stay. Aside from being entertained by Mesdames M. V. Shelby, A. Tillman and Alice Jones, the Ladies' Noon Day Social club entertained by meeting at the residence of Mrs. Mary A. Lawrence, 3944 St. Ferdinand avenue, in a surprise party. Miss Brandon was guest of honor, and was very much surprised, and yet so pleased, she could only exclaim: "It is good to be here."

Davis is doing a great work, and is loved by all the community and members of his church. They have been blessed spiritually and financially during his stay with them. Missouri State Gleanings. Adolphus Busch, the Noted Brewer, Bent Off Enraged Assailant of His Son. Adolphus Busch, the multimillionaire brewer, saved the life of his eldest son, "Gussie," who was about to be trampled by an enraged buck deer. August A. Busch placed himself in this perilous position while trying to save Frank Parriso, aged 15 years, from the antlers of the deer. The fight took place on the old Gen. U. S. Grant farm, in St. Louis county. This farm of 250 acres was recently acquired by the Busches and converted into a game preserve. It is now well stocked with bear and deer. Mr. Busch invited a party of friends to the farm to look it over. Among those in the party were August Busch, Henry Nicollaus, Peter Busch, E. A. Faust and Frank Parriso. The party was walking through the deer cope. As there are bears as well as deer in the inclosure, several of those in the party carried rifles. When the sportsmen surprised a herd of deer grazing most of the animals took fright and scurried away. One large buck, however, instead of running, lowered his head and charged the party. Frank Parriso was in the lead, and was caught upon the spreading antlers of the animal and tossed in the air. The boy undoubtedly would have been trampled to death as soon as he struck the ground had not August Busch attracted the attention of the animal. Mr. Busch had a rifle, but was afraid to shoot for fear of hitting the boy. The buck at once charged Mr. Busch and knocked him off his feet. The animal probably would have pawed the prostrate man had not Adolphus Busch hurried to his son's rescue. Using a heavy rifle as a club, Mr. Busch, Sr., struck the deer a blow on the head, momentarily stunning him. August Busch regained his feet in a minute and at once killed the deer with a bullet from his rifle. Found Indian Charnel House. A party of hunters from Randolph and Macon counties discovered an old Indian channel-house southeast of New Cambria. On the top of a high hill—almost a mountain—half a mile west of the Chariton fish trap, the Nimrods discovered a vault, hewn in the rock, about six by eight feet. This was full of skulls, bones, stone arrow heads and small, round shells. It is estimated that it would require ten or twelve wagons to remove the contents of the vault. The bones were all well preserved. The shells were round and white, of a sort not found in this country. It is supposed they were buried with the Indians, as a preservative. There was another vault near by, which was not opened. Hotel and Saloon Burned. Twenty guests had a narrow escape from cremation in the World's fair hotel in St. Louis. The A. B. C. saoon, below the hotel, was gutted, and the fire climbed upward, and the roomers barely escaped with their lives. The loss is estimated at $45,000, partially covered by insurance of $12,000.

Trying to recover her hat, Mrs. William D. McLean, of Freeport, Ind., was struck by an automobile and probably fatally injured in St. Louis. UNHAPPY GEISHA GIRL. She Didn't Want to Go Home, So She Tried to Escape From the Officer. Luna San, one of three geisha girls from the World's fair, who were taken to Seattle, Wash., by a United States secret service agent for deportation to Japan, escaped from the custody of the officer, at St. Joseph, and caused all kinds of excitement around the station by her efforts to elude capture. While waiting for a westbound train to carry them on their journey, the secret service officer was standing on the platform outside the station smoking a cigar. The three geisha girls were seated inside, timidly returning the glances of open curiosity and admiration cast upon them by the crowd. Suddenly one of the girls arose from her seat and started to walk quickly out of the station. A little stir in the crowd drew the attention of the watchful officer without, and he started after the girl at a brisk pace. She gave a hurried glance over her shoulder, and, seeing her guard following, started to run. With little steps, but the speed of a frightened deer, the daughter of fair Japan filed out of the depot and along the platform, dodging hurrytravelers, porters with luggage and heavy trucks loaded with trunks. The officer followed clumsily enough, while the slight figure of the geisha girl flitted here and there through the crowd. But finally the girl tripped and stumbled and the secret service man grabbed her and held her fast. Panting trembling, the girl was led back into the station, where the officer-admonished her gently on the foolishness and futility of attempting to escape from his custody. Watson Pleads Not Guilty. Dr. Jones S. Watson, the Denver (Col.) physician who is charged with the murder of his wife, was formally arraigned before Judge D. P. Eby, of Hannibal, in the Ralls county circuit court at New London. When Dr. Watson was brought into court attorneys for the state asked leave to file an amended information. It charges the defendant with murdering Mrs. Watson by means of drugs or otherwise. Dr. Watson entered a plea of not guilty. The trial was set for January 23. Attorneys for the state announced that at least 75 witnesses from several different states would be subpoenaed, and the defense gave notice that it would subpoena from 125 to 150 witnesses. It was further announced that three or four weeks' time would be consumed in the trial. Dr. Watson was taken back to jail to await trial. Horce Trainer Kept Oath. Thomas Thomas, a Kansas City horse trainer, charged with highway robbery, swore that he would not be taken alive by Marshal Pendergast's deputy, and kept his word by shooting himself. There have been several robberies lately on the roads south of Kansas City. Information was filed against Thomas, and a special deputy marshal was told to find him. The fact that the deputy was making inquiries about him must have been communicated to Thomas, for he killed himself near a schoolhouse where Miss Mary White, to whom he was to have married in the near future, was teaching. Miss White and the pupils ran to the scene of the shooting, and the teacher knelt by her flance and prayed for him. Thomas was a horse trainer on the Frazier-Christie breeding farm. Secretary of State's Report Secretary of State Sam B.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." 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 firing advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

To e great many women the time they devote before the mirror be- comes in a way a period of supreme torture. Whether long or short, this time spent in peering into ner glass and searching there for signs of age, care or worry in her face is not only time wasted, but put to the worst possible use. = I have in mind, says a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, a woman of 30 oda, in the heyday of her beauty, who daily scans her mirror for traces of the first wrinkle or the first gray hair, The day when she makes the discovery—and it will be long before anyone else does—will be a day of misery for her, for she firmly believes that youth, beauty and happiness are bound up in the preservation of an unlined brow and raven hair. Her apprehension is so great that she worries so that age should take her unawares that she is really incapa- ble of fully enjoying her youth and good looks, No one can get the best out of life who lives in constant dread of what the mirror will reflect. Every woman wants to be as pretty as possible, and every woman should do all in her power to preserve her charms. But to make a tyrant of the mirror is to give it a power and influence which does not rightly belong to it. We see in others what we wish to see in them, and this is particularly true of the reflections in the looking glass. If we scan it for traces of oncoming years, for wrinkles and lusterless eyes, ‘we see, or think we see,.the signs of age approaching. If one looks at it convinced that it will reflect the vigor and splendid maturity which one feels there will be no disappointment, A wrinkle, a gray hair does hot mean age. The handsomest woman I know is a grandmother, and the years may possibly point to 49, but when she looks into the glass she does so fear- lessly, knowing that she will see there the image of a face full of charm, good cheer and sympathy, and she is never disappointed. She uses many outward means of preserving her looks and attends to her hair and complexion persistently, but ske has learned the secret that it is her spirit and not the lotion that keeps her looking and feeling young. She does not think of herself as old, nor speak of the approaching years with dread. Her mind is filled with interest for all things, her heart with sympathy for all people, and sho has found the secret of youth. His Status. ‘ MeGuyer—There goes one of our best known men of letters.

Sometimes the busy woman when walking wants to be burdened with nothing heavier than a small purse, nating Decree (Dak eal) en abroad unattended by the ubiquitous Ppowder-puff. It stands to reason she cannot carry one of the bulky bougat puffs in the limited compass of a purse, so a home-made contrivance here comes into play—and gives need- ed suggestion for a Christmas-novelty. Models for these are not numerous, yj ON Ay) ( es (t \ i tt sae Al JSS ae Pet te but mention will be made of two that have proven good ones. The first is mode of two crocheted mats of soft wool about three inches in diameter. A loosely-sewn, circular, flat case of white material holding ‘ths powder, is placed between the woo! mats, the latter then fastened together around the edges by a crocheted bor- der having open-work through which a ribBon is run. The loose case al- lows, the powder to sift out at the slightest pressure, and the soft wool is more pleasant to the face than the ordinary chamois skin. ‘The second purse puff is made of a circular bit of thin silk, three or four inches across, and about an inch from the pinked edge a baby ribbon is shirred in. A tiny lamb’s wool bag ts put in the center, the lamb's wool holding the powder, and also acting as puff. The draw-strings pulls a pro- tecting case about the white puff.

SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY One of the Best Lines South. We are confident that many of our people are looking for permanent homes, and we would suggest that they look to the great state of Texas, in order to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as follows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shiner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Gregory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skidmore to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and earliest truck-producing section in the southwest. The climate is so that the farmers raise and sell something every month in the year; in fact, it is known as the "open winter" farming country of the southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does not have to spend all he makes in the summer to keep him through the winter. It is understood that the low rate Homeseekers' tickets will continue to be on sale during November and December to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Christi, Alice Bceville, Skidmore, Runge, Cnero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yeakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Flocresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie and the babies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mistake when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by taking up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. (To Be Continued Next Week.) Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant winter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO TEXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of other things you wish to do, just take advantage of the never-before-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where the best of advantages are not offered him. The only way to remedy this inconvenience is to take advantage of whatever opportunities afford themselves. Texas is a state that contains acre Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. It is not only productive during the summer, but what is most unusual also during the winter. A man doesn't have to *lay by* for the long winter months. The climate is such that one can farm all the year around. Some may hesitate because of the supposed difficulty in disposing of crops because of lack of railroads. Such a claim held good long years ago. At the present time, the San Antonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this special offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low, and who might wish to purchase land in Texas, and could not afford the regular fare. Don't hesitate longer. Buy your ticket and go at once. MR. AUGUST GISLER. August Gisler, republican nominee for the legislature in the Third district, is well and favorably known in St. Louis, having lived in the Fourteenth ward for more than 30 years. He has been an active hard-working republican and a member of the Twelfth district congressional committee, representing the Fourteenth ward for the past eight years. He is entitled to the loyal support of all good citizens. Sam, The Tailor. At 204 North Fourteenth street is the establishment of Sam, the tailor. His business has become so that he has been compelled to enlarge his place. He now has 204 and 206, all complete and arranged in the most complete manner. Such is the business of any man that gives his customers satisfaction. Mr. Sam is what we call one of nature's gentlemen, and that has caused his success.

Privately, I free delighted if Panama were an independent st this moment; but for me to say so publicly v of a revolt, and therefore I can not say it. yours, White House, Washington, Oct. 10, 1903. My Dear Dr. Shaw—I enclose you, purely for your own information, a copy of a letter of September 5, from our minister to Colombia. I think it might interest you to see that there was absolutely not the slightest chance of securing by treaty any more than we endeavored to secure. The alternatives were to go to Nicaragua, against the advice of the great majority of competent engineers—some of the most competent saying that we had better have no canal at this time than go there—or else to take the territory by force without any attempt at getting a treaty.

Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. Elections in the southern democratic states are huge swindles. Vote for Col. Walbridge and the entire state and city ticket. If you believe in honest politics vote the republican ticket straight. The Afro-American are with Roosevelt because he is with them. Backward glances into history bring no joy to the democratic heart. Those who want freedom from work may obtain it by voting for Parker. When you cast your vote, let it be for the party that gave you a ballot. "The republican party is the ship; all else the sea."—Frederick Douglass. Lincoln would be sorry he said anything, if he could hear Tillman quote him. Remember what the Democratic legislature tried to do in Missouri at the last session. Vote the entire republican ticket. Don't forget that your interest is in that ballot. Prof. C. G. Williams, of Boonville, Mo., and committeeman-at-large, is working hard. All the rights and benefits the Negro now enjoy come through the Republican party. Every law that has been enacted against Negro manhood was by the Democratic party. Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Afro-Americans. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. The betting men in New York know a thing or two—they are now offering 10 to 4 on Roosevelt. In every state where the Negro has been disfranchised it was 'done by a Democratic legislature. There are ten Afro-American officers in the United States army under the Roosevelt administration. The democratic party announces its good intentions. The republican party refers to its good deeds. A vote for Roosevelt is a vote to sustain the principles of human liberty for which he stands. Under the Roosevelt administration there are 13 Afro-Americans in the diplomatic and consular service. No party can reform itself. The reformation can only be made by Col. Walbridge and the republican party. Roosevelt will not close the door of hope and prosperity against the Negro. Why? Because he is a Republican. We are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Lincoln approached his.—President Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance. No party can reform itself. There are some good democrats, but none good enough for a Negro to vote for against our candidates. The Afro-American people know too well what democratic success means to be beguiled by the smooth talk of the democratic spellbinders. We admit that there are bad Republicans in the party, but the principle of the Republicans are not affected by these vultures. There are 1,891 Afro-Americans employed by the district government at Washington, D. C., and their salaries aggregate about $850,000. "I do not think that the Negro should be permitted to participate in the government of the nation."—Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi. However good an individual democrat is, when he is elected he can not do anything for the Negro. Why? Because his party rules him. Forty-four years ago three million and a half of Negroes were slaves. Today they are free. Who did it? Of course the Republican party. The Afro-American has everything to gain by the triumph of the republican party—the party which stands for freedom and human rights. Black men, before you vote the democratic ticket, remember that the people who burn your brothers at the stake in the south are democrats. The 596 Afro-Americans employed by the United States treasury department draw salaries aggregating $391.834 per annum. The government printing office at Washington, D. C., employs 320 Afro-Americans and they earn $210,874 every year. Afro-Americans in close congressional districts should work hard to elect congressmen. We cannot afford to lose a single district. The Irish World that is published is making a very strong fight for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. P. H. Clark is an Irishman, and we must elect him for sheriff. The democrats of the south say that the Afro-American is unfit to travel in first-class cars, and they have passed cars for his accommodation. No republican legislature has ever passed a laws providing special "Jim Crow" separate car law. The American people have a substrattum of good sense, and although they may listen to the democratic speakers, they will vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. 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. It is fortunate in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people that a man with the courage and humanity of Roosevelt is president. At a recent Democratic meeting one speaker declared: "The 'niger' has no more right to the ballot than a two-year-old child has with a pistol." That's straight Democratic doctrine. The Palladium man is and has been for Col. Walbridge for 20 years. Turner & Wheeler are well acquainted with Col. Walbridge, and we know his worth. No party can reform itself. The Negro's salvation is in and with the republican party, represented in this state by Col. C. P. Walbridge and the entire ticket. 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 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. No party can reform itself. We call upon the 50,000 Negro voters to see to it that each man is voted on November 8th. With C. P. Wa'bridge in the executive mansion. The Afro-American can never be charged with ingratitude. He realizes what the Republican party has done for him and will stand by the party in this campaign as he has done in the past. The blood of thousands of innocent Afro-Americans is upon Senator Tillman. He has boasted in the United States senate that the democrats of South Carolina have butchered black men for attempting to vote. "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unfit for president if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected president by those who would close the door of hope against the Afro-American as a citizen. If I am elected to this high office, it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations."—President Roosevelt. We have known C. P. Walbridge for the past twenty-five years, always as a true, unfinishing 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. The Frisco System will carry one hundred thousand Negroes to the World's air M. B.

Davis Will Not Eat With Negro, But Will Drink With Him. Is Always Well to Consider the Source of an Insult--Hound Pup and H. Gov. Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, the biggest hot air merchant in the Mississippi valley, has been trying to attain some more cheap notoriety lately, commenting on which the State Republican, published at Little Rock, says editorially: Gov. Davis, in an address at Dallas, Tex., last week, gave utterance to this classic sentiment: "Can you think of anything dirtier, nastier, than eating with a nigger? I would rather eat out of a trough with a hog than to eat with a nigger. I would rather drink pot liquor out of a pot with a hound pup than eat with a nigger." No one doubts for a minute that provocation as he intimates. Perhaps could tell many a story in corrobora the pup and the hog on as slight a Gov. Davis would hesitate to disgrace the governor's statement, if he were only endowed with the power of Jeff's blue speckled dog, "Old Lead," speech. But why does the governor's fine aesthetic sense, which prompts him to eat with a hog rather than a Negro, permit him to hold high carnival with his Colored brother and drink liquor from the same bottle with him? Is there any difference, Gov. Davis, judging by your standard, between eating with a Negro, in order to allay hunger, and drinking with him, in a social way, from the mouth of the same bottle? Even your own fine sense of propriety should say that the difference is in favor of the former. And yet the governor's own actions have belied his Dallas statement. The liquor drinking incident we refer to is too fresh in the minds of the Arkansas public to need repeating. As a matter of fact, Gov. Davis' sensibilities as to the negro question are much blunter than he would have the people believe. His object in making such senseless utterances as he was delivered of at Dallas was to continue a notoriety for which he is as proud as his state is ashamed. The Democrats of Arkansas made the law by which Gov. Davis counted himself in at the last election, and their sin has found them out. Whenever Davis leaves Little Rock the people remain in suspense until his return, wondering what new disgrace he will bring upon them. The only way that Arkansas can prevent her buffoon governor from continuing his spectacular and shame-breeding antics is to keep him chained up at home and under the eye of a competent keeper. There were 14 deaths at the Illinois soldiers' and sailors' home at Quincy during the month of October. Cashier Middaugh, who was killed by bandits at Cody, Wyo., was formerly editor of the Plainville (Kas.) Times. W. J. Maxwell, grand secretary of the Order of Railway Conductors, has been stricken with paralysis. His condition is serious. Lawrence Hatch, of East St. Louis, an Illinois Central brakeman, was run over and killed by his train while switching cars at Marissa, Ill. The excursion steamer Corwin H.

THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAIMED President Designates Thursday, November 24, as Thanksgiving. RECOUNTS YEAR'S BLESSINGS Peace Has Prevailed Within Our Borders, Our Harvests Have Been Abundant and the Workers Are Prospering. Washington, Nov. 3.—The president has issued the Thanksgiving proclamation, setting aside Thursday, November 24, "to be observed as a day of festival and thanksgiving by all the people of the United States, at home and abroad." The proclamation follows: "By the President of the United States: A proclamation: "It has pleased Almighty God to bring the American people in safety and honor throughout the year, and in accordance with the long, unbroken custom handed down to us by our forefathers, the time has come when a special day shall be set apart in which to thank HI, who holds all nations in the hollow of His hands for the mercies thus vouchsafed to us. "In this great republic the effort to combine national strength with personal freedom is being tried on a scale more gigantic than ever, but success will mean much, not only for ourselves, but for the future of all mankind, and every man or woman in our land should feel the grave responsibility to do what we must, the last analysis this success must depend upon the high average of our individual citizenship, upon the way in which each of us does his duty by himself and his neighbor, therefore, I, Theologe Roosevelt, president of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart Thursday, the twenty-fourth day of this November, to be observed as a day of festival, and give thanks to God for the United States at home or abroad, and do recommend that on that day they cease from their ordinary occupations and give thanks to God for the homes, in their homes, devoutly to give thanks unto Almighty God for the benefits He has conferred upon us as individuals and as a nation, and to be secech Him. His divine will be continued to us. "In witness whereof I have hereunto me my hand and cause the seal of the king."

Boston, Nov. 3.—There is apparently a crisis in the affairs of the Boston Symphony orchestra, the celebrated organization of musicians which has been chiefly supported by the public spirit of Maj. Henry L. Higginson. A majority of the players have become members of the Musicians' Protective union and threaten to quit unless the others follow them. It is even said the disintegration of the orchestra is threatened. Maj. Higginson is strongly opposed to unionism, and has made some very emphatic remarks, which the union officials resent. One of two things seems probable, either the disbanding of the orchestra by the desertion of its union members or the refusal of Maj. Higginson to contribute his financial support longer. JUST PLAIN CASE OF MURDER The Suicide Theory Scouted in the Case of E. P. Sanderson's Death at Hartford City, Ind. Hartford City, Ind., Nov. 3.—Coroner Hollis' verdict in the death of E. P. Sanderson, it is declared, will be murder in the first degree, and as a result of the inquest, held Tuesday afternoon, four and probably five arrests will be made. At least two and possibly three will be arrested for murder in the first degree, and the others will be charged as accessories to the crime. The autopsy revealed a plain case of murder and removed all suspicion of suicide.

My comfort is in this, When any sorrow is On land or sea— I do not stand alone, The fight is not my own, On land or sea. Strength often I have none, The battle must be won Without my aid; It never can be lost, God always has His host Ready arrayed. He is at my right hand, And none can Him withstand, Therefore I sing The song of victory Which faith brings for me, And praise my King. Why, therefore, am I sad? His help should make me glad That faith shall teach I am not weak or poor; I can all things endure When He is near. God! be to all who move What Thou hast, in Thy love Aye been to me.

This was one of St. Paul's last Epistles. It is supposed that it was written after he had been emancipated from his two years' confinement in his hired house, that on leaving Rome he went again to the east, spending some time at Ephesus, Crete and elsewhere, and that it was during these journeys that this Epistle, which shows the mellowness and ripeness of his nature, was indited to his son Timothy. A good deal of what had been strong and hard had passed away beneath the touch of life's sorrows and the Spirit of God, and now, as Paul the aged, he gives his last counsel, not only to the young Timothy, but to young men and maidens, and, indeed, to all Christian people everywhere. It is in this strain in the autumn time of a great and good man that he utters these words. May they be written upon your hearts so as never to be forgotten, but to serve as the molding principle of our after life. In this passage there are two principles to which the apostle alludes: The one which he repudiates, the other which he adopts. He describes certain men who forbid to marry and insist on abstinence from certain meats and drinks. Speaking of these he uses their position as a foll, in order to show that in Jesus Christ there is something better—the position of accepting whatever God creates and accepting it with thanksgiving. The word thanksgiving is Eucharist—so often used of the Holy Communion, and if we understand the principle of this verse we will find our whole life becoming a Eucharist—a thanksgiving service. 1. Let us for a moment consider the position which the apostle repudiates—that of prohibition, of those who forbid to marry and command to abstain. It was this that actuated the hermit of the early church. He withdrew himself from the world of men, and in some lonely cave spent his days and nights. No child's laughter might ring upon the desert air, no woman's touch might soothe his forehead when furrowed by care or pain; no tender help might alleviate the severity of his lot. Unloved, unattended, and alone, he must live and die, prohibited from home and friendship, from other men's meat and drink, and from the ordinary avocations of human life. The Puritan, alsb, was full of prohibitions. He frowned upon the joys of men, and looked askance at much which we hold almost necessary to the regimen of a true life or culture of our nature. And that spirit of prohibition is one which the church, still, is too constantly listening to. Men prohibit, refuse, forbid—and it is much easier to forbid for other people than to forbid for yourself. It is easy to issue the command, but not so easy to ful' fill it. This spirit runs through the life of many of us who would not range ourselves with the hemlit or the Puritan. We are always afraid of good things. If God places a cup in our hand, brimming with happiness, we put it to our lips with a trembling grasp, and dread lest we may be having too much happiness. We never expect to have a day of perfect pleasure, we think it would be too good to hope for; there will always be some freckle in the lily, some thorn in the rose, some cloud in the sky. When we take our joys, it is with forboding. We tread the happy path with fear, or, if we let ourselves go, and have one long blessed day; if we let ourselves go into a friendship, and drink and drink again; if we allow ourselves to delight in some avocation, accomplishment or interest, we always fear that there will be a rebate, and that after some days or weeks have passed, God, who cannot trust us with too much joy, will see to it that our life is plunged in gloom and sorrow to make an equivalent. If there be a burst of sunshine, we go about the world, saying: "You may depend upon it, we shall have to pay for this." This spirit is perpetually casting a shadow over our happiest days. The mother takes the little child in a perfect ecstasy to her bosom, but as she looks upon its face she says to herself, I must not be too happy, for fear God will take him away. The young, man who recognizes his twin soul says to himself, I must not be too happy, for such happiness as this cannot last. This is the way so many of us go through life—afraid to drink the cups of joy, which are ready in our hand. There is another phase of this same experience—we shut ourselves up with our sorrow. And yet the darkest day that ever came had some alleviation, and the saddest hour that ever struck had something in it to make life possible. But too often we wrap the mantle of grief around our person, and, although the child's hand reaches out its flowers, although the sky sends down a glint of smiling sunshine, although there are waited to us some beautiful burst of music which should lift us up on its wing, we shut ourselves up in our sorrow and say: No, we are too down and dull to-day to be able to entertain and accept joy. How often the good love of God, therefore, through surrounding our path, is sent away abashed, disappointed and thwarted. Thus all our life is needlessly shadowed by constant prohibition. 2. On the contrary, St. Paul says: Everything which God made is beautiful, and is not to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving. It is obvious, therefore, that we have here a principle to help us. It is better to lay down as few rules as possible, and instead to enunciate great principles, because so often, if you lay down arbitrary rules for people, you simply drive them to revolt; whilst if you will only enunciate great principles which they can apply for themselves to their whole life, you make them strong and independent. "You can make a rule, but not a principle; you can establish a rule, but not a principle." A principle is there before you come, and all you can do is to discover and apply it. That is why the New Testament is a book of man's life. It does not deal with rule and regulation, but with principle. RENEWAL OF THE MORNING How the Christian Seeks It in the Act of Obtaining Cleansing from Sin. "The glory of the Lord came into the house by the way that it came where the prospect is toward the east." - Ezekiel, 384 There are some places which catch the morning, and some which catch the evening sun. There are gates which look toward the east, and there are gates which look toward the west. When life fronts the west, it is contemplating old age; when life fronts the east, it is contemplating youth. When Christ enters the temple of the heart, we have always an eastern prospect. It does not matter how old we are or how dilapidated the temple; the moment Christ enters the prospect is eastern. The first cry of every Christian is to get back to the morning, says Dr. George Matheson. What do you mean by the prayer to have your sins forgiven? It is simply the cry to retread your past—to go back to the morning sun. Why do you merely say: "Let the dead bury its dead; I will try to live better in the future?" It is because you want not simply a golden west, but a golden east—not merely a fine evening, but a retrieved morning. That is why you cry for the expiration of the past. You want to have the sense of beginning again, of being a child again. You want to feel, not merely that there are no blots on your present page, but that there are no blots on your past page. Nothing causes you to blot the new page like the memory of blots on the old. You seek a fresh start—a morning prospect, a window toward the east, a view of the rising sun; nothing else will give you a sense of glory. GEMS OF THOUGHT. Every life is a thought of God.

Not everyone can be eloquent or rich or strong or wise or famous, but anyone can be loving. That is one reason why love is the greatest thing in the world. Only a few can possess these other good things, but everyone of us can possess and display the greatest thing in the world, which is love.—Forward. The law ordained "Thou shalt love," and love ordained that law. Man could not keep it, and love ordained a gospel; that gospel is "God so loved." Thus, "Thou shalt love" is the whole of the law. "God so loved" is the whole of the gospel. That is so clear that it is at once law and gospel for children and savages, but it is so deep in its limpid clearness that no philosopher can fathom it—John Duncan. Everything Different A little girl once went before the kirk and asked to be received into membership. They asked her if her heart had been changed. She hesitated a moment and then made the best answer that could have been made. "Oh, sirs," she said, "either my heart has been changed or the world has been changed, for everything seems so entirely different to me." M. The letters of Miss Merkley, whose picture is printed above, and Miss Claussen, prove beyond question that thousands of cases of inflammation of the ovaries and womb are annually cured by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Gradual loss of strength and nerve force told me something was radically wrong with me. I had severe shooting pains through the pelvic organs, cramps and extreme irritation compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulceration, and advised an operation. I strongly objected to this and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medicine were true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other complications disappeared and in eleven weeks I was once more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. "My heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great good you have done me."—Sincerely yours, Miss MARGARET MERKLEY, 275 Third St., Milwaukee, Wis. Miss Claussen Saved from a Surgical Operation. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—It seems to me that all the endorsements that I have read of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound do not express one-half of the virtue the great medicine really possesses. I know that it saved my life and I want to give the credit where it belongs. I suffered with ovarian trouble for five years, had three operations and spent hundreds of dollars on doctors and medicines but this did not cure me after all. "However, what doctors and medicines failed to do, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did. Twenty bottles restored me to perfect health and I feel sure that had I known of its value before, and let the doctors alone, I would have been spared all the pain and expense that fruitless operations cost me. If the women who are suffering, and the doctors do not help them, will try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, they will not be disappointed with the results." — MISS CLARA M.

A Bridge of Comps After the capture of the Taku forts, when the British were marching on Peking in 1860, one of the rivers became so swollen with the heavy rains that it was rendered almost impassable. While in this predicament a bright idea struck one of our officers. Being aware that the Chinese generally order their coffins years in advance, and keep them on the premises, and also that they are perfectly airtight, he consulted with his brother officers, with the result that orders were given to search all the houses of the village and collect every coffin. With the aid of a few empty casks, the soldiers constructed a pontoon bridge of coffins sufficiently strong to bear the artillery, and the river was thus crossed in safety—Golden Penny.

"I suffered from nervousness and headache until one day about a year ago it suddenly occurred to me what a great coffee drinker I was and I thought may be this might have something to do with my trouble, so I shifted to tea for awhile but was not better, if anything worse. "At that time I had a baby four months old that we had to feed on the bottle, until an old lady friend told me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three months ago I commenced using Postum, leaving off the tea and coffee, and not only have my headaches and nervous troubles entirely disappeared but since then I have been giving plenty of nurse for my baby and have a large, healthy child now. "I have no desire to drink anything but Postum and know it has benefited my children, and I hope all who have children will try Postum and find out for themselves what a really wonderful food drink it is." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Both tea and coffee contain quantities of a poisonous drug called Caffeine that directly affects the heart, kidneys stomach and nerves. Postum is made from cereals only, scientifically blended to get the coffee flavor. Ten days trial of Postum in place of tea or coffee will show a health secret worth more than a gold mine.

(Prepared by the "Highway and Byway" Preacher.) (Copyright, 1894, by J. M. Edson.) LESSON TEXT.—2 Kings 11:1-16; mem- bers, 10-12. Read 2 Kings, 9:16-28, for the account of the death of Ahazilah, king of Judah, Joash's father. Read also all of chapter 11, and parallel account in 2 Chron- icles. GOLDEN TEXT.—"When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice."—Prov. 29:2. TIME.—878 B. C. Introductory Note. Athalah was the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, of Israel, and had married Jehoram, or Joram, king of Judah. Upon the death of Jehoram, her son Azariah became king, but within a year he was assassinated while on a visit to Joram, king of Israel, who was sick at Jezebel, and who also met death at the hands of Jehu, the "whirwind" reformer. Athalah, with all the wickedness of her wicked mother, thereupon swall the sons of Azariah, accept Joash, who was rescued by his saint, Joshua, and saved over Judah for six years. It was in the seventh year of Jehu's reign over Israel that Joash was made king over Judah. The mother of Joash was Zibiah of Beersheba,—2 Kings 12:1. The Lesson Outline. THEME: -Limitations of the Wicked. L-Jonah Saved., v. 1, 2. Comparing Scripture with Scripture. 1. Joach Saved. (1) Devices of the Wicked, v. 1—"Athaliah." Like her mother Jezebel, she was thoroughly given to evil and was ready to go to any lengths to compass her own selfish purposes and desires. She forgot to reckon God and His purposes into the account just as Jezebel did. She "imagined a vain thing" and "took counsel against: the Lord and His anointed," but the Lord finally had her "in derision." Ps. 2:1-4. Thank God, the power of evil is circumscribed within the boundaries of God's will and purposes. Athaliah sought to exterminate all the race of David, but God's promises to David were sure (2 King 8:19; Jer. 33:17-26), and all the Athaliahs on earth cannot make void the smallest of God's promises. (2) Hermism of the Rightians, v. 2. (2) Heroism of the Righteous, v. 2. —"Jehosheba." What a contrast there is between the character of this woman and that of Athaliah. II. Joash Kept. (1) A Place or Refuge, v. 3.—"Hid in the house of the Lord." Right under the very nose of Athaliah, this young prince was reared. How strange and marvelous are God's providences. He always provides a safe hiding place for His children. Ps. 17:3-9. Ps. 27:5 Ps. 31:20. Note how the wicked devices of men are made to praise God (2) Faithful Protectors, v. 3.—God not only provides places of refuge but He also raises up friends for us. III. Joash Crowned. (1) The Secret Revealed, v. 4.—"Shewed them the king's son." That vision inspired their hearts and nerved their hands to strike for God. In the conflict with evil God will always give us a vision of the King of Kings that we may be inspired and strengthened to plot its downfall. (2) The Compact Made, v. 4.—"Made a covenant with them." A solemn and holy union formed to overthrow the wicked and enthrone the righteous. Union of God's forces is always necessary to victory. The devil is always pleased when he can divide God's people. (3) Revolution Planned, vs. 5-8.—Desperate diseases require desperate remedies. Nothing short of a complete overthrow of Athallah and her following would do. In dealing with evil God's children are justified in making no compromises. Eph. 5:11. Note how carefully Jeholada planned every detail. (4) Trustworthy Allies, vs. 9-11.—Each man filled the place assigned him. Find your place and then fill it. Ah, how much the leaders in the Lord's work need men and women who will prove trustworthy. Jeholada's plans would have failed had his helpers been faithless, and many a pastor and Sunday school superintendent have their plans hindered or defeated because of disloyal co-laborers.' Paul suffered thus. 2 Tim. 4:10, 14; But he had faithful helpers as well. 1 Cor. 4:17. (5) The Coronation, v. 12.—The hour of triumph. That was a great day in Judah, but it will be a greater day when Jesus shall come forth to be crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The wicked seek to prevent this, but the Lamb will at last be victorious over all His enemies and those who are His shall stand with Him in that hour of triumph. Rev. 17:14. IV. Retribution, vs. 13-16.—The hour of triumph of the king was the hour of Athaliah's downfall. She was but reaping the harvest of the seeds sown six years before. Athaliah's six years of rule was purchased at fearful cost. So is all sin. Srn. 6:23. The Golden Text "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice." The pages of history, sacred and secular, give one long and convincing testimony of the blessing which always comes to a nation and people when the upright rule, and on the other hand they offer sad and repeated illustration of the woes and disaster which follow hard upon the heels of corruption and wickedness. In this democratic land of ours, the true patriot, the loyal citizen, must cast his influence, toward the establishment of righteousness, if the nation is to be exalted and the people rejoice Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed Narrowest Street in the World. The seaport town of Great Yarmouth, England, contains a street that will may be considered the narrowest built-up street in the world. This thoroughfare is known as "Kitty Witches" row, and measurement gives its greatest width as 55 inches; the entrance would seriously inconvenience a stout person, as 20 inches are all that is spared from wall to wall. The advantages of such a pathway are not numerous; the possibility of exchanging handshakes from the window with your opposite neighbor hardly compensates for the inconvenience of his glances should you and he not be on the most friendly terms. The town contains many such streets as "Kitty Witches;" they are all called rows instead of streets, and there are 145 of them, varying in their narrow width, and extending a length of over seven miles. No none seems to know just why these streets exist in the form they do; some claim the inhabitants so arranged their dwellings as to enable them to resist the attack of a possible enemy with comparative case.-John Russell Davidson, in Woman's Home Companion. Memorial in Westminster. The approach of the hundredth anniversary of George Washington's death is noticeable by the increased interest of Englishmen in the memory of the most distinguished American. Mr. Gladstone was accustomed to speak of George Washington as perhaps the most perfect figure in history. The better that his name and fame, character and career, are known and appreciated in England the better will be the good understanding between reasonable Englishmen and that portion of the American people who still adhere to the main lines of Washington's Americanism. Although George Washington never saw England, he was essentially English in character, and so clearly embodied the constitutional and liberal opinion on this side that before long a national memorial in or near Westminster abbey will probably be an accomplished fact. Arnold White, in Harper's Weekly. What It Costs Chicago to Keep Dogs Up to the present issue 33,000 dog licenses have been issued in 1899. Before the season is over it is estimated that 7,000 or 8,000 more will be taken out. It is estimated by the kennel editor of the American Field that about one out of every five dogs in the city is provided with a license. Figuring on this basis the total canine population of the city is about 200,000. A fair estimate of the cost of keeping a dog is 25 cents a week. Taking into account only the dogs for which licenses are taken out this would give a total of $10,000 a week. It is also estimated that a child can be supported in comfort for as little as three dollars a week. In other words the money spent weekly in this city for the maintenance of dogs would keep nearly 3,500 children for the same length of time. Chicago Tribune. Gooseberry Custard. Stew one quart of gooseberries in half a pint of thick sirup until they are quite soft; press them through a sieve, and then put them into an agate stewpan, and add soaked gelatine in proportion to three-quarters of a tablespoonful of granulated gelatine to each pint of pulp, and stir until dissolved. Remove from the fire and turn out to cool; add a few drops of green coloring and, when cold, but not set, stir in half a pint of stiffly whipped cream and pour at once into a mold.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. What She Would Wish. "If you could have just one wish," he said as they sat in the hammock and wondered if the people on the porch could see them, "what would it be?" "Only one?" she asked. "Only one," he repeated. "Would you wish for unlimited wealth or fame or—" "I would wish," she interrupted, "that the moon would go behind a cloud."—Chicago Post. Plants' Dendly Enemies. Fancy two plants being so unfriendly that the mere neighborhood of one is death to the other! Yet this is the case with two well-known British plants. These are the thistle and the rape.

Lord, of Munce, Ind., according to the Louisville Herald. "One of the things I ever did was I by reason of my name happened while I was driving from town to town in Colorado. While on the road one day, driving very slowly, for I had plenty of time, I chanced to notice by the roadside a young fellow about 16 years old, dressed in a ragged jean and a white shirt, without a sif. He had on on a pair of his father's worn-out trousers, which were cut off at the bottom, and which extended far up on his body, almost to his shoulders. More as a matter of personal amusement than for practical reasons, I asked him how far it was to the next town. "Bout six miles, I reckon, he replied. "I reined up my horse. "Do you have any fun out here?" I asked. "Nep; heap." "What is your name?" I asked him. "Willie; he replied; Willie Hawks." "I started to drive on, but he called after me, asking me to stop. "Say, mister, he asked, and what mount your name be?" "Lord," I answered; 'Mr. Lord.' "And then he grinned. He grinned all the way to the armholes of his father's pants. 'Why'd you smile?' I asked. 'Have you ever heard of me?' "Sure; I've heard pop read of yer in that good book; but I never saw yer after." "And he continued to grin as I drove on." The Proper Name.

The American, sightseeing in the Fiji islands, came upon a young savage engaged in tattooing the picture of a fish on his father's back. His eyes filled with tears.

Cured Her Rheumatism Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 31 (Special)—There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other children do. Mr. Whipkey says: I am indeed thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; I am sorry from being a cripple perhaps for life. Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood, and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right. Why It Hurt. "Don't feel so cut up about it, Mr. Skemer," said Miss Foxley, after rejecting him. "I'm not the first girl you loved, I venture to say, am I likely to be the last." "No," he sighed, disconsolately, "but you're the richest." "Philadelphia Ledger. THE MARKETS. New York, Nov. 4.

Ten years ago this fall the Santa Fe started its California Limited train on the initial run across the continent. Many improvements have been made in that busy decade. To-day's engines and coaches are much heavier than those of the previous year, and on the track alone—some of it for oil-sprinkled (dustless) roadbed and oil-burning (smokeless) engines. The time is faster, too. Daily service of the California Limited will be resumed Sunday, November 13, the tenth season, superseding the present season, now an all-the-year-round train, between Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco, running through Southwest land of enchantment.

WEBER TELLS HOW SHE WAS HELPED WHEN DOCTORS FAILED. She Let Her Trouble Become Chronic Because She Hesitated to Consult Her Physician—Particulars of a Remarkable Case. The natural reluctance which every woman feels to consult a physician regarding troubles peculiar to her sex caused Mrs. C. Weber, of No. 7685 South Front street, Columbus, Ohio, to let her illness run on until it became chronic, and even the excellent doctor whom she employed could give her no relief that was permanent. She gives the following details of an interesting case: "I felt the trouble a long time before I went to our docter, perhaps a year or more. When I did consult him he told me I had female trouble. I felt sharp pains through my stomach and could not walk across the room without suffering agonies which I cannot describe. My head ached so that it fairly thumped and at times it seemed that I would go crazy. My stomach became so weak that it would retain only the lightest food. Week after week I took the doctor's medicine, but I continued to feel worse and worse. On several occasions I was confined to my bed for a week at a time. My weight decreased to 102 pounds and I seemed a confirmed invalid. "One day I read of a case similar to mine that had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and, although I did not have much confidence, I began taking the pills, having already discontinued my doctor's treatment. While I was taking the second box I began to feel a little better and the improvement continued until I was cured. In a few months I had recovered my health and strength and weighed 133 pounds. I owe everything to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." No discovery of modern times has proved such a blessing to women as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulating the functions, they restore the strength and health in the exhausted patient when every effort of the physician proves unavailing. These pills are sold in boxes at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had from all druggists, or direct from Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. A Mrs. Pare, wife of C.B. Pare,a prominent resident of Glasgow. Ky. says "I was suffering from a complication of kidney troubles. Besides a bad back, I had a great deal of trouble with the secretions. which were exceedingly variable, sometimes excessive and at other times scanty. The color was high, and passages were accompanied with a scalding sensation. Doan's Kidney Pills soon regulated the kidney secretions, making their color normal and banished the inflammation which caused the scalding sensation. I can rest well, my back is strong and sound and I feel much better in every way." For sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box. FOSTER-MILBURN CO., Buffalo, N. Y.

It was in 1897 that I became acquainted with Mr. Coudrey and for two years I came in connection with him almost daily. I found in him a most perfect and upright gentleman in every respect. His dealing with other Colored men and myself won the admiration of all. Since 1899 we have still had that high regard and respect for him, not only as a republican, but as one that deals fair with his fellowmen. Mr. T. G. Williams, secretary of the Twenty-third Ward Walbridge club, 2646 Randolph street, is putting in some hard licks for the republican party in that ward. Go in and prove yourself, and when Col. Walbridge takes his seat at Jefferson City next January you will be remembered. A few infamous Negroes that are in the shape of men are still publishing a paper called a democratic organ.

Prof. Garnett, on his return from a business trip to Texas, Indian and Oklahoma territory, gave a very interesting and instructive address relative to the condition of the Negro citizens of that section from financial, educational and other standpoints. The entire address was one of the strongest arguments that can be produced for the necessity of just such organizations and such conferences as the "Farmers" convention," in order that Negroes of this and other sections may learn how to adopt improved methods of agriculture; how to become part and parcel of the communities in which they dwell, whether as farmers, tradesmen or in professional lines. --- For Congress of the Twelfth District. We have known Mr. Harry Coudrey since 1897, when he was a member of the house of delegates, and the writer sergeant-at-arms from 1897 to 1899. Mr. Coudrey is one of nature's gentlemen, a man worthy of the support of every man, let him be democrat or republican. For two years we had the pleasure of studying men in office. In Mr. Coudrey you have a man that will reflect credit upon the Twelfth district, so work and vote for Mr. Harry M. Coudrey for congress. Notice 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 graits.
