STLOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XXI. No. 34. V ```markdown ``` REV. DR. E. CALVIN COLE RETURNS From an Extensive Trip to Europe. Filled With Enthusiasm and Information. The First Baptist church tried herself in bestowing honor upon her worthy and distinguished pastor in a grand reception last Monday evening. The main audience room was crowded with members and friends, and the pulpit was filled with ministers from all parts of the city, and they joined heartily with the church in making it pleasant for the doctor. The following programme was rendered: Pom Bieros Association. The annual report of the Pomberos association shows for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905, that the organization has had a banner year, due largely to the untiring efforts and energy of their efficient president, William H. Owens, Jr., who says "his sole ambition is to promote the Negroes' interests and standing in the commercial world." Mr. Jeff Covington, president of the board of directors, announces that the application for membership of James L. Haley has been favorably passed upon, and owing to increased business in the offices of director of concessions and admissions, Mr. Haley has been elected to fill the office of di- LYONS OPEN ALL NIGHT.

Hairston. Rev. J. W. Powell made remarks, also Reverends W. H. Dares, F. C. Christmas, M. F. Downey, S. A. Love, Z. P. Hairs, J. W. Muse, J. R. Bennett, J. H. May, Dr. W. P. T. Jones, M. D. and W. D. Venerable. Prof. J. Authur Freeman rendered two fine vocal solos. His voice seemed sweeter than ever before, and the audience cheered him to the echo. Deacon J. G. Ebbs made remarks. Deacon J. M. M. Stokes, of Central church, was quite humorous in his remarks. At the close of this programme, Dr. Cole was called on to speak and as he rose to his feet the audience rose and applauded him. The hour being late he spoke briefly by giving a mere outline of his trip, about as follows: The boarding of the steamer "Philadelphia of the American line" at New York and the voyage across the sea, the landing at Southampton, England, rector of admissions, which will greatly relieve the duties of Mr. W. A. B. Smith, who formerly held both positions. Mr. Emmet Brown, treasurer of the association, has secured and closed a contract with Mr. Harry Brolaski, captain of the excursion steamer Corwin H. Spencer, for September 4, 1905. This being Labor day and the last excursion of the season, Mr. Brown says: "Every resource will be resorted to in order to show everyone who attends that the Pomibieros association still holds the place of prominence with the pleasure-loving public that they have striven so hard to gain."

Every one went back in the chapel where refreshments were served free in abundance. He held his audience spell-bound for over an hour and people was heard saying even at that late hour that they could have listened to him all night. Dr. Cole has the happy faculty of an easy delivery and from the tenor of his address one could readily see that he was filled with information that time would not permit him to impart. He proposes to speak in the future on St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey and other historic places in England. Antioch Baptist Church. Sunday, July 30, was a day of rest for S. P. Anderson as a far as preaching was concerned. At 11 a. m. Rev. J. W. Powell, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church preached to the Antioch congregation. The sermon was very much enjoyed by all. At 3 p. m. Rev. Dr. R. H. Cole, pastor of Fifth Baptist church, preached to the Tribe of Joseph. The sermon was fine, and was beautifully explained. Many beautiful thoughts were brought out, so much so that the Tribe understands that they must endure hardships—in other words, bear the cross if they wear the crown. Among the visitors at this service were Rev. Dr. W. D. Venable, D. D. moderator of the Berean Missionary Baptist association; Rev. F. C. Christmas, Sister A. H. Cooper, president of the W. H. F. M. & F. conventions, and Sister Overton, president of Pilgrim Circle. At 8 p. m. Rev. F. C. Christmas, a member of Chambers Street Baptist church, and one of the coming young ministers, filled the pulpit. The sermon was good, and if his instructions are followed we will not stray from the path of rectitude. Wait, friends, and come and go with us. Antioch church will take out an excursion to Stallings, Ill., Monday, August 28. Round trip, 50 cents. Do not miss the chance of your life. There will be a grand rally at Antioch church the fourth Sunday in August. Do not forget. Stop that Cough Pickett's Cough Syrup. THE GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI, GRAND UNITED ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION. George E. Temple Renders Another Famous Report Which the Palladium Reproduces for the Benefit of Its Readers. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. GEORGE E. TEMPLE. Louisiana, Mo., Aug. 5, 1905. To the District Grand Master, District Most Noble Governor, Delegates to the Grand Lodge and Grand Household of Missouri, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, in joint convention assembled—Greeting: Previous to the rendering of the financial report of the secretary, permit me to say a word. work done in my m of life's t Master, a misfortune. First, I want to extend to you the kindest regards and best wishes of the sub-committee of management, which closed its midsummer session last Saturday in the shadow of "Liberty Bell," in the "City of Brotherly Love." I have traveled more than one thousand miles with this message of greeting to you from the greatest Negro executive and judicial body on earth. Second, I want to thank you, and each of you, for your many deeds of kindness shown me for the past thirteen years that I have served you as secretary. I desire to advise you that, owing to the pressing demands from other fields, I can not serve you any longer and do justice to myself. I assure you, however, that I will be "delight-ed" to assist my successor in the work at any time he may, if at all, require it. With these words I take great pleasure in calling your attention to the report. By permission of Him that dooth all things well, we, the Odd Fellows, of Missouri, are permitted in this the morning of the twentieth century, amid the age of marvelous progress and wonderful development, to meet and exchange views for the betterment of the grand institution that was given to man in ancient days to carry out the command: to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan. Whatever others may do, the Odd Fellows' mission is to enable brethren to assist each other in their struggles to live, which is common to human existence. The flashing sparks from the fraternal anvil of Odd Fellowship has kept the fire of ambition in us alive to our duties regardless of any and all opposition. LOOKING BACKWARD. As far back as memory runnels we find the work of Odd Fellowship lifting fallen humanity and dispensing charity to the worthy. In 1843, when Peter Ogden placed Friendship, Love and Truth in the hands of his brothers in black, we began to communicate to each other by signs, and to work out our own salvation in this country, and within a period of twenty years we have lead the march through the darkest ages of American history by passing from a slave to a soldier and on to American citizenship. Look back, and see if any race in the civilized world has made a record equal to the ALL SAINTS Monday CITY O Auspices MEN ALL SAINTS CHURCH EXCURSION, DANCING AT 7. MISSOURI, GRAND DD FELLOWS IN SESSION. ION IN ITS HISTORY Another Famous Report, um Reproduces for f Its Readers. work done by and through the secrets of Odd Fellowship. Our demand has been fair, but positive; we have only asked for Justitia Universalis, Pax aut Bellum. LOOKING FORWARD. In my mind's eyes I see in the glow of life's twilight just ahead, Grand Master, a better day for we, whom misfortune has overtaken. I am glad of the opportunity to be permitted to deliver a message to encourage such a large and magnificent gathering of our people. I am sure that, despite the faults and limitations of individuals, hope still casts its light over the efforts of uplift we are making as the years roll by. With prayer to a just God, we can see with ineffacible glow a bright and happy future for a race that labored more than two hundred and fifty years free of charge in laying the foundation of our great America. The world grows better not worse, but it does not grow better everywhere all the time. Standing as we are in the shadows of the years that are past, and looking out ahead upon the world of prejudice, we must all move at one and the same time; with the eternal vigilance of mankind; soon the heavens, like the clarion notes of a bugle, will resound its pleasure loud and clear, as we sing "Hallelujah, Glory to God." A beacon of light 'midst the darkness of night, Stretching over land and sea. Stretching over land and sea, Shedding its beams with a radiance that seems Reaching to you and to me. Ah! sweetly its sings, and it never takes wings, Through gladness and joy fade away. How gently it holds bruised hearts in its folds, And clings to the soul gone astray. "Americans for America is the slogan that needs to be sounded," said our fearless governor of Missouri in a speech at the alumni banquet of the Vanderbilt university at Nashville, Tenn., June 19. What a glorious balm that was to the wounded heart of the Negro. It has been our cry for lo these many years, and at last the great men of the day are beginning to sound the same alarm, and the words have reechoed over and around the everlasting hills and flashed across the mighty deep to the old world. Let us, the representatives of the greatest organization of the race outside the Church of God, keep up the cry, and soon the lawmakers of the country will be aroused to the sense of their duty and obligation, and give us a "square deal" in the battle of life.

STORY on Lincoln's birthday, the president of the United States said: "Our efforts should be to secure to each man, whatever his color, equality of opportunity, equality of treatment before the law, and that the only safe principle upon which Americans can act is that of 'All men up, not that of some men down.'" It goes without saying that the brightest minds of to-day have turned to the greatest problem of the age, the Negro Problem. Grand Master and fellow-representatives, as I look backward I can see in the footprints of time a matchless record made by our people over the greatest opposition known to mankind in the "Land of the free and the home of the brave," but as time rolls on truth will get a hearing, as the rushing tide of prejudice must calm when the men of justice speak. In the last January number of McClure's Magazine, Hon. Carl Schurz, one of the greatest American writers of to-day, sald, among other things, that there are in the south strenuous advocates of the establishment of some sort of semi-slavery can not be denied. In the first place, they should not forget that to keep a race in slavery that had been in that condition for many generations is one thing comparatively easy; but to reduce that race again to slavery, or something like it, after it had been free for half a century, is quite another thing, nobody knows how difficult or dangerous. Members of the order, let us stand firm, keep a little of the fuel of youth at hand to warm our ambition in old age, and with the welcome coming of what the Americans call "A Square Deal." May hope whisper in our eager ears continually the sweet promises that kind of fortune will ratify. May God save the president of the United States and the governor of Missouri, and the twain will save our country. ODD FELLOWS' JOURNAL. The power of the press in molding sentiment, wise or otherwise, is not a debatable question. The only paper owned and controlled by Negroes, from the editor to the janitor, with an international circulation, is the Odd Fellows' Journal. We must support the Journal, not because it is a law, but because it is right. The editor of the Journal is a strong and forceful writer, a fearless advocate of the rights of his race. If we support our own papers as well as we do the dallies, we will often hear the affirmative side of the debate, and it would prevent us who can from denying membership in the race. The progress of the Negro is challenging the admiration of the country, but you will never see this fact in the daily papers. Read the Odd Fellows' Journal, and keep posted on race matters. The Journal is ours, the editor is ours, the press, the type, and the brain in the management is ours, and last, but not least, the Journal office girls are ours. Subscribe, pay for and read the Journal. WORK! WORK!! WORK!!! Somewhere it is written, "God made the Heavens and the earth." Let the Odd Fellows everywhere take heed to the above words and start to-day and abolish the societies that are springing up among the young men of our race, known as the "Independent Sons of Rest," "Idlers' Retreat," "The Summer Shades" and "The Brotherhood of Satisfaction," and in their stead organize labor unions, and start a fire of thrift and industry, open up business of all sorts and support them. Eschew gambling, legitimate or otherwise, as gambling is the most besetting sin to mankind. The only safe way to get money is to earn it by conscientious application of brains and muscle (or both) along legitimate lines. When we are called upon for advice we must insist upon the passing over of bad members of the race as we do upon the recognition of the good ones. We must keep in view the fact that efficiency, reliability and truthfulness is the demand of the twentieth century. Common sense draws no color line. Men engaged in a great work have no time to explain away the petty lies of jealous and envious critics. "The only contestants for civic honors in this country are the Negro and the Anglo-Saxon," says one of our great white writers of the day. The statement is true, and the question is not debatable. I pray God that we may live a goodly number of years, and work as He did in the beginning, and when (Continued on Page Four.) Electa Temple, S. M. T.

WITTE'S THANKS TO YANKEE PRESS Its Friendly Greetings Are Warmly Appreciated. In a General Way He Tells the Representatives of the Press of the Powers Reposed in Him in His Present Mission. New York, Aug. 3.—M. Witte, the Russian peace plenipotentiary who, with his suite, arrived on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, responding to the greetings of the American press representatives, not speaking English, prepared the following, which he had Prof. De Martens traslate and read aloud: "For the friendly greetings of the American newspapers upon my first visit to the hospitable shores of the United States I offer my heartfelt thanks. This kind attention touches me all the more profoundly because I realize the vastness of the power wielded by the press of the United States, and admire the keen intelligence with which it is uniformly directed. I am glad to be able to add that I also appreciate the ethical worth of the aims SERGIUS WITTE. for the attainment of which that power is so often and so successfully employed. One of the noblest of these aims is the establishment of peace and friendship among nations, and it is to the praiseworthy efforts of the people of the United States in this direction that my visit to the new world is attributable. For it is in compliance with the American people's desire for peace, of which President Roosevelt was the authorized exponent, that his majesty, the czar, has empowered me to come hither and ascertain the conditions which our gallant adversary deems necessary and adequate as a basis for peace negotiations. "I need hardly point out that it is my ardent desire that the two chivalrous foes, who first became acquainted on the field of battle, may have found in each other's sturling qualities motives powerful enough to cultivate that acquaintanceship until it ripens into lasting friendship. Meanwhile, however, the terms offered must first be ascertained, weighed and judged admissible by Russia before she can proceed to formal negotiations. "Hitherto, as you are aware, it was customary in cases like this to settle all such preliminaries before the meeting of the plenipotentiaries, whose task it was to come to a final agreement on the matters under discussion. Now the very fact that his majesty, the czar, consented to take a course involving departure from this ancient diplomatic usage and to appoint a mission to learn the nature of our brave enemy's terms, is an eloquent token of the friendly feeling which he and his subjects continue to cherish toward the people of the United States. I say continue to cherish, because at no epoch in our history have our traditional relations with this great republic been other than cordial. "And now I should like to say aye and to prove to your people who live less in the past than in the present and the future, that it is the fervent wish of the emperor and the people of Russia further to strengthen the ties of friendship which have hitherto subsisted between the two nations. "It is in virtue of that sincere desire that his majesty, the czar, wailing all other considerations, has unhesitatingly accepted the cordial invitation of your first citizen and genial leader. And if my mission should prove in all other respects barren and the endeavor to find a common basis for peace negotiations should fail for the time being, the signal proof of friendship given by his majesty, the czar, and the Russian nation would still stand out as a memorable event, fraught, I trust, with far reaching and beneficent results to the two great peoples of the west and the east." Favors Charles of Denmark. Copenhagen, Aug. 3.—Emperor William has expressed a preference for Prince Charles of Denmark for the Norwegian throne. Denied by Secretary Wilson. Washington, Aug. 3.—Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture has issued a statement denying that employees of the forestry service have written articles for magazines prior to the publication of the results of government work in public reports. Awarded the $2,000 Trophy. Boston, Aug. 3.—Percey Pierce, of Buffalo, was awarded the $2,000 trophy offered by Charles J. Glidden for the best showing in the recent automobile endurance test: from New York to Mount Washington and return. CREAM OF THE PROFESSION Portmouth, N. H., Will Shelter One of the Greatest Groups of Correspondents Ever Got Together. New York, Aug. 4.—Congregating in New York are representatives of most of the great newspapers of Europe. Each European steamer brings more of them and by the time the peace conference opens there will be an assemblage of correspondents at Portsmouth which could at once resolve itself into the greatest journalistic convention ever held. For the newspaper men who are being sent to America are the leaders of their profession in each capital. It is hardly expected that there will be a possibility of any journal obtaining such exclusive news as, for instance, the London Times obtained when it printed the text of the treaty of Boklin, but if there is any chance of getting a "beat" the men able to secure it will be there. A CONFESSION OF MURDER One of the Boys Under Arrest at Oakland, Cal., For the Murder of T. W. Cook, Confesses. Oakland, Cal., Aug. 4.—Percy Pembroke, aged 16 years, one of the three boys arrested charged with the murder of T. W. Cook, has made a full confession. The boys, all under 17 years of age, deliberately planned to hold up their friend and acquaintance, Thomas W. Cook. They lay in wait for him armed with bludgeons and lead pipe. When Cook appeared, Pembroke declares Blaker stepped behind him and dealt him a stunning blow with the pipe. Cook fell, and Pembroke ran from the scene of the crime, leaving his companions, John Snyder and George Blaker, to complete the robbery. Pembroke exonerates Crowhurst, another suspect. JAMES RICHARD CARNAHAN Commander of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias Passes Away. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 4.—Gen. James Richards Carnahan, commander of the uniform rank, K. of P., died, at his home in this city. He was born in Indiana in 1841, served in civil war, graduated from college in 1866 and practiced law. He was instrumental in organizing one of the first drill companies in the Knights of Pythias. In 1881 he was made adjutant general of Indiana. Gen. Carnahan was generally spoken of for the position of commander of the G. A. R. SAVED BY A CLOSE SHAVE Alabama Sheriff Makes Prisoner Shave and Sends Him Safely Through a Mob. Mobile, Ala., Aug. 4.—Brooks King was brought here from Monroeville, Ala., for safe keeping. He owes his life to a close shave. King was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years at hard labor. A mob, on hearing the verdict, marched on the jail. Sheriff Saulberry meanwhile had made King shave himself clean, and handcuffed to a misdemeanor prisoner, marched his man through the crowd to the station. No one in the mob suspected the ruse. A BAD NEGRO KILLED If Reports of His Doings Are Correct He Was Not Suppressed Any Too Soon. Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 4.—A special to the Gazette from Lewisville, Ark., says: After killing two persons, seriously and probably fatally shooting two others, one a woman, and less seriously shooting two more, Ike Kinney, a desperate negro, was killed in a river bottom at Doella, six miles south of Lewisville, after a hot fight with a posse of citizens that surrounded him. Kinney killed a negro at Stamps on Wednesday, fled and was being pursued by a posse. EDISON'S LATEST TRIUMPH The Wizard Announces the Perfection of a Reliable Storage Battery. New York, Aug. 4.—Im announcing that he had perfected his storage batteries for propelling electric vehicles, Thomas A. Edison warmly complimented young Cooper Hewitt, who had helped him solve a most difficult problem with his mercury recorder. His battery, he says, will send a pleasure vehicle, under the most favorable conditions, at the rate of 20 miles an hour for 150 miles. Requisition Honored. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 4.—Gov. Mickey has honored the requisition of Gov. McDonald of Colorado for the return of Victor or Frank Buster, alias Frank Martin, who is charged with the murder of Martin O'Connor, a miner, on April 5, 1905. The man is under arrest at Grand Island, Neb. Sayo Dead Wife Was Rebbed. Toledo, O., Aug. 4.—Four hours after the death of his wife, James Sheehan, a wealthy contractor, had his brother-in-law, Fred Alexander, placed under arrest for receiving five diamond rings alleged to have been taken from his dead wife. Joplin, Mo., Aug. 4.—In order to hide her shame, Louise Juniper, at Columbus, Kas., cut off the head of her newborn babe, and hid it in a tlescope valise under her head. She is now in jail, also a prominent young man. # 1930年代的木制床 1501 Gratiot Street, Choice WINES, LIQUORS SAMUEL H. LEONARD, - - - Proprietor.

On the first page in the president's own handwriting are these words: "To Governor Joseph W. Folk, with the regard of Theodore Roosevelt. July 25, 1905. "Dear Governor: Many of the problems with which you and I have to deal are in their essentials much the same, after all. Perhaps you may be momentarily interested in two of these essays, 'Latitude vs. Longitude,' and 'Promise and Performance,' Kas Sued St. Louis Police. Through his attorneys Mark Gumberts, who has been prominently identified with the Delmar race track, filed suit in St. Louis county circuit court against A. C. Stewart, president of the St. Louis police board; Police Commissioner John W. Fristoe; Chief of Police Matthew Kiely, Police Captain George T. McNamee, Police Lieutenant John R. McKenna and Detective C. G. Cabanne, asking $5,000 actual and $5,000 punitive damages for plaintiff's arrest at Delmar race track July 24. Gumberts alleges he was falsely arrested and imprisoned, and that it was done maliciously and with intent to injure. Missouri Hen a Busy Bird. Statistics just secured show that the Missouri hens have broken all records in the last 12 months. This state now leads as the first poultry state in the country. More than 155,000,000 dozen eggs were produced the last year. Illinois and Iowa, which previously surpassed Missouri in the production of eggs, now holds second and third place respectively. The surplus products of the Missouri hen now exceed by $2,000,000 the value of the mules shipped out of the state. National Guard Commissions. At the request of Adjt. Gen. De Armond Gov. Folk has issued commissions for National Guard of Missouri as follows: Samuel W. James to be major of the Second regiment infantry, with rank from June 14; Ben Estill to be first lieutenant and battalion adjutant Third regiment infantry, with rank from June 23; Montgomery G. West to be second lieutenant and battalion quartermaster Third regiment infantry, with rank from June 23. To Annul Charter. Quo warranto proceedings, prepared by Attorney General Hadley, have been filed in the supreme court seeking to annul the charter of the Delmar Jockey club and to confiscate the property for the use of the state. Judge Marshall of the supreme court issued an order directing the respondent to appear before the supreme court on October 10, and show cause why the charter should not be annulled and the property forfeited to the state. Youth Head of a Sunday School. One of the youngest Sunday school superintendents in the United States is John Aydelott, who is 15 years old and who for some time has been superintendent of the Sunday school of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Wellsville. He was born and reared in Montgomery county, and is an enthusiastic Sunday school, Epworth league and temperance worker. Miraculous Escape. The lives of four men working in the drifts of the King William mine at Prosperity, cast of Joplin, were saved in a miraculous manner. The roof caved in above them, but caved in such volume that a current of air of such strength was formed by the descending dirt that the four miners were swept out of the drift and out of serious danger. Disturbed After Seventy Years. Three bodies were found in metallic caskets by the men employed in excavating for the new shoe factory building on the old cemetery block in St. Charles. The bodies are those of a man, a young woman and an infant and are in an excellent state of preservation. The last burials were made at the old cemetery 70 years ago. The apple crop in Missouri this year will run far below the average, according to L. A. Goodman, state horticulturist. A full crop means 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 barrels of apples, but the fruit growers of the state will be lucky this fall if they can show one-third of that amount. Governor Approves Springfield. Gov. Folk has received and approved the report of the Southwest Normal school commission which selected Springfield as the place for the location of the new normal school for that district. Springfield gives 40 acres of land and $25,000 cash. Kicked to Death by a Horse. Horace Buntine, a young man living near Nelson, received a severe kick from a horse he was attempting to harness, receiving injuries from which he died. Buntine was a grandson of Judge J. T. Stouffer, presiding justice of the Salline county court. J. A. Terrill Deag at 92 James A. Terrill, 92 years old, father of the late Judge William H. Terrill, died suddenly at Macon. He was one of the early Missouri settlers and probably the oldest man in the county. A Woman Footpad Arrested. A woman footpad made her initial appearance at Columbia and "held up" an able bodied man nearly twice her weight and much her superior in physical ability. As William Arnott, a well known Columbia citizen, was passing along a lonely avenue a woman sprang upon him from behind a fence. With one arm she held both his arms against his body with such a grasp that he could not release himself; with the other the woman reached inside his vest pocket and took $90 in cash and checks amounting to $50. Arnott called for help and the police responded. After a lively chase the woman was captured. She gave her name as Dora Herndon. State Fair Poultry Show. The poultry show at the Missouri state fair at Sedalia, August 21-26, promise to be the greatest within the history of the state. At the last exhibition the magnificent poultry building, erected to accommodate 2,500 birds, was filled far beyond its capacity. Four thousand birds were on exhibition, and when in place the aisles were made so narrow that it was difficult for the public to pass through and view the exhibit. This season a new poultry building is being erected, 80x100 feet, with ample room for 5,000 birds, and the indications are that this commodious structure will be filled to the extent of its capacity. Sue Gov. Folk for Damages. The Delmar Jockey Club has filed suit in the St. Louis circuit court for $25,000 damages against Gov. Joseph W. Folk, the members of the St. Louis board of police commissioners and Chief of Police Klely, alleging trespass. The suit is based on the raid of the city police force at Delmar race track. The track is located in St. Louis county and the planitiffs deny the authority of the city police in the county jurisdiction. Sue the Missouri Pacific for $5,000. Sue the Missouri Pacific for $5,000. Talmer C. Sumner and wife, of Nevada, have brought suit against the Missouri Pacific railway for $5,000 on account of the death of their son, James Sumner, 18 years old. The petition alleges that at the time of the flood in June of last year, when he was employed by the railroad to watch its overflowed tracks in Bates county, he was run over by an engine, receiving injuries from which he died. Flies Mortgage for $5,000,000. To Be Near Her Son's Grace. Mrs. Robert T. Fellis, mother of Harry Fay Saunders, the Springfield boy killed in the Bennington disaster off San Diego, Cal., has left for San Diego. Before leaving Mrs. Fellis said she did not know when she would return to Springfield, her only desire being to be near the body of her only son. Sues Mother-in-Law for $20,000. Mrs. Jean Pierce has brought suit in the circuit court at Nevada against her mother-in-law, Mrs. Rhoda Pierce, for $20,000 damages. The younger Mrs. Pierce alleges that her mother-in-law formed a dislike for her and tried to prejudice the plaintiff's husband against her. New Bank Examiner: Secretary of State Swanger has appointed C. A. Burkhardt, cashier of the Farmers' and Traders' bank of California, state examiner under the law passed by the last legislature, increasing these examiners to six. Hadley to Help Hinkle. Attorney General Hadley will, at the request of Prosecuting Attenory Hinkle, assist the latter in his investigation of the affairs of the Salmon & Salmon bank, of Clinton, before the grand jury, which will be convened in a short time. Springfield May Be Dry: At a special session of the city council of Springfield, passed an ordinance providing for an election to submit a local option proposition prohibiting the sale of liquors to the people. Beer Inspection Money The Missouri beer inspection law has yielded for the state a revenue of $187,262.88 for the first six months of 1905. A large elevator at Moberly containing a large amount of grain, the property of the Missouri Grain company, has burned. The loss will reach at least $200,000. A Mining Deal at Joplin. The Parent & Co. mine and a 20-acre lease on the Schifferdecker land near Joplin were sold for $15,000 to C. M. Shelton and associates of Kansas City. They also purchased the Stary & Moose concentrating plant near here. Will Become a Missionary.

SAN ANTONIO & ARKANSAS 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, Cuero, Ycrktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, 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. 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 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.

Cole, the pastor of the First Baptist ehureh, and the delegate to the late Baptist congress that was held in London, July 11-18. Dr, Cole came back to us with his mind freight- ed with the historical events of the eld world; a mind bristle with new thoughts and ideas. It is well to read of the historical events in the qld world, or even in the city of London, and the many surrounding places. The con- gregation that attends the First Bap- tist church will be pleased to hear from their pastor facts concerning the many things of interest that he saw. Rev. Cole is admitted to be the leading Bap- tist divine in the west, a pleasant and easy speaker, and we shall be pleased to hear him from time to time. In another column of the paper we give a sketch of the reception tendered him on his return, Dr. Cole is preparing to speak at some time in the near future on the struggle of the free churches against the established church of England. In a word, he says the separation of the church and state is inevitable, but it will be a long and bitter fight, ,_ CITY NEWS .

THE GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI (Continued From First Page.) life's battle is ended and time places the headstones over the remains of the race, Justice will place in letters of fire the following word, “SUCCESS.” CONDITION OF THE ORDER IN ‘MISSOURI. The Odd Fellows of Missoiiri bid for front rank in the story of our people's ‘work and worth, in dispensing char- ity to our own needy poor. In recent years we have come to understand the underlying principles of true charity, which have not changed since the “Man of Galilee” said, “The poor ye have with you always.” In dispensing char- ity to the members of our order we often meet the impostor, and this pre- vents us at times from doing more than we do for the deserving poor of our in- stitution. However, our reports will disclose the fact that we have given to the sick and needy of our order, since last meeting, the sum of tem thousand dollars. We feel that more can be done in the future if we will work con- tinually, trusting God for success, ENDOWMENTS. ‘This department is the life and sue- cess of the entire institution, We need not speak for the endowment depart- ment, the widows and orphans con- nected with our order will speak for us, All claims that are clear and prop- erly presented have been promptly paid. The cry for an increase in the amount paid should be heard at this meeting. Let us still lead the van of charity by making an increase by law. Our great principles of “Friendship, Love and Truth,” which we carry out, vindicate our claim to be regarded the best friend of humanity, “As a friend im need Is a friend indeed.” ODD FELLOWS’ HOME. The effort of the Odd Fellows of Mis- souri to erect a home for the aged members has received the plaudits of the order everywhere. You will find from the financial report herewith that the work of raising money is progress- ing nicely. With another successful appeal, you ought to build, as there are members in the state now that have lost their usefulness as far as supprt- ing themselves. How happily they could dwell in a free home. A tract of land can be purchased in the country district, and the inmates can aid them- selves in many ways when they have a shelter from the wintry blasts and storms. NECROLOGY. ; Worthy Grand Master, “If a man dle, shall he live again?” has been a ques- tion presented to humanity ever since the days of Job. If we had the vision that St. John, the Divine Revelator, Possessed when on the Isle of Patmos, and were permitted to draw aside the veil of Heaven one moment, and look beyond the river, around the throne, ‘We would behold a scene that would answer the question. Look, O man, to the limitless here- after, ‘When thy sense shall be lifted from its dust, When thy anguish shall be melted int laughier, ‘When thy love shall be severed from its lust, When thy spirit shall be svanctifiec with seeing, The ultimate dim thule of the Blest And the vision-haunted fever of thy being Shall be drifted in a Universe of —» Rest. Silence, if you please, while I cal the. roll of the departed members of our order of whom I speak: Anderson Palmer. Joseph Haggins. Samuel Woodson, Henry Stewart. Dan Tibble. Edw. Robinson. W. L.

Remember not past years, So long the power has blessed me, sure it still Will lead me on, O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and tor- reat. till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!

Tsay the enchanted words of Friend- ‘ship, Love and Truth around which ‘such bright stars as Morris, MeHen- ry Jones, Needham, Brooks, Forrester, ‘McKinley, Smith, Wright, McKissack, Beil and Grant, are leading the march with invitations to all mankind to fall in line as they sing “He's a Hearty Odd Fellow,” under the brighest sun- light of Gospel revelation the world has ever seen, must be accepted by ail as a balm in affliction, trouble and sor- row that is common to us all. Truly we have duties to others and duties to ourselves, and we can not shirk either. Under a free government a mighty peo- ple can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and the things of the soul. The stars in their courses are fighting for the oppressed of our race. Down with oppression! is ring- ing from the lips of all liberty-loving people. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows has always stood for the following: “So all in vain will timorous ones say, To set the metes and bounds of liberty, For freedom is its own eternal law: It makes its conditions, and in storm Or calm alike fulfills the unerring will, Let us not then despise it, when it lies Still as a sleeping lion, While a swarm of gnatlike evils hover round its head: Forever in thine eyes, O Liberty, Shines that high light whereby the world is saved, And though thou slay us, we will trust ; in thee. 2 9 Workingmen’s Glub Newly fitted up with BOWLING ALLEY First-Class for Ladies and Gentlemen on the First Floor » Se eee TEER Berean | a Pe Se —@ a |e a Cy a — ) eee ee t i ae p +r 7 4 fe ae (4 i POOL AND BILLIARD PARLOR *28¢%s::232521805% !

Members of the club will consider this as their official notice. The Big Four (Baltimore & Ohio route) is the railroad that is envied by all the railroads that come in contact with it. The officers are by nature cut out for railroad men. Mr. and Mrs. Gillispie have removed back to their old residence, 6113 Colorado avenue. She is still engaged in the hair trade and desires the patronage of her many friends.

Miss Olivia Richardson, of 3004 Lawton avenue, is now the editress of the St. Louis Palladium. We recognize that we can not live always, and for the past two months we have not the best of health, and in case we pass from this active world we will leave the Palladium in much abler hands than it has been in—so look to Miss Olivia Richardson.

Our reporter caught him in the act. What have you to say? That W. C. Gordon and Andrew Russell, the two undertakers, went to the session of the Odd Fellows in Louisiana, Mo. this week. They will attend the U. B. F. Grand Lodge next week. We may go. That Miss Olivia Richardson, editress of The Palladium, will be in full charge of The Palladium next week. The manager will go to the Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. at Huntsville, Mo. That all of our subscribers will call at the office of The Palladium and settle up their account with the editress, Miss Richardson, as we want the young lady to see what one of our St. Louis ladies could do with The Palladium if we should pass off. That The Palladium has twelve hundred of the best subscribers that are in St. Louis, and they will meet the editress next week to settle up their bills and make her happy in the absence of the manager, J. W. Wheeler. That a crooked old Negro woman, when she read that shot in The Palladium last week, said: "See here; dat am der reson I don't like dat Pallum—beceze he's all ways writin' up somebody. I will not read it again." WE DON'T WANT YOU, NOR YOUR MONEY; IT IS TOO CROOKED. That George Temple is a natural-born secretary. Read his report in this week's Palladium. That Rev. E. C. Cole stands at the top of the Baptist ladder in the west. Watch The Palladium. That Dr. W. D. Cook, pastor of St. Paul's chapel, has put the lid on dancing. That The Palladium has put the lid on all crooked men and women for the good of the race. Hot Shots. Hot Shots and Something to Think of—Who Does the Shoe Fit. There is a common class of Negro men and women that, whenever things do not suit them, they can leave home and go elsewhere and live so content with a star-roomer, or some man who is calling on business, as graceful as a big sunflower that bends and nods in the breezes. Oh, could you do the same? Old Negro women and men who make it a business of talking about young girls and women, and don't know anything, ought to look back on their own lives and the lives of their families, and then ask themselves the question: "Is my daughter any better than the one whom I am talking about; and am I the only pabble on the beach?" Well, well, well! I will be more careful in the future, Lawton Avenue. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE LASTEST-READ THE PALLADIUM.

WHEELER. RELIGIOUS MATTERS DOUBT NOT ALWAYS A SIN It Sometimes May Lead One Into a Deeper and Better Knowledge of God and His Ways. There are some people greatly troubled over their doubts; they naturally mourn a feeble faith, and wish they did not have so many questions rising in their hearts. But it should be said to them that doubts are not sins if—! And about that "if" rests the secret of it all. When doubts are left to themselves, that is when doubts arise and there is no effort made to solve them, then doubt is likely so result in wrong. But if doubts are questions, urging us on to seek right answers, then doubts may be blessings in disguise. There are not a few people who swallow everything that is given to them. They take their religion upon the say so of other folks; they follow certain prescribed lines and end in accepting everything that is taught to them. They have not enough virility to ask questions; they have not wilt enough to doubt. Such stagnation of intellect may be called unbounded faith, though it is anything but that. One may believe mightily and yet have some serious doubts upon other things. He may even question some of the dealings of God with men, wonder at the way He does things, have difficulty in reconciling things—and what sensitive soul has not done that again and again?-and all the while be a devoted follower of Jesus. When one says glibly: "I am sure of it," and another says: "I am not so sure of it," it is quite likely that the latter is the safer of the two. Not that there is a blessing on the doubter because he doubts, says Service, but because his doubts lead him to get deeper into the mysteries of God. So, do not mourn over your doubts—if you will allow them to drive you into further investigation. Sometimes faith is another word for laziness, and some people do not seem to know the difference between the two. Happy is he whose attitude is after the spirit of Browning, having Just so much of doubt As he planted a surer foot upon The. 888-788-788 A POOR SOUL. Not Known by Christ at the Judgment Because Never at Home to Him Here. It was on the Day of Judgment. A risen soul went up to the Lord in quiet confidence; not that she was bold or proud or vain, O, no; all her earthly life long she had pictured herself standing by the Lord's side on the latter day. But the Lord looked earnestly into her face and said: "Who art thou?" Then the soul was startled by this question, and said, timidly: "O, my dear Lord, knowest Thou not?" "No," said the Lord. "I know thee not." "O, my Lord and God," said now the poor soul, "dost Thou not remember how I went every Monday Thou gavest to the sewing meeting, and Tuesday to the temperance meeting, and Wednesdays to the Band of Hope, and Thursdays to the missionary meeting, and Friday to the choir practice, and Saturdays to the free and easy for working girls, and Sundays to the Guild—"Sobbing and fluttered she repeated the last words twice, and added in despair: "O, Lord, rememberest Thou really nothing at all?" "Soul," said the Lord. "whenever I came and knocked at thy door, thou wast not at home."—Herman Oeser. BLASTS FROM RAM'S HORN Faith does not eliminate foresight. To find His face is to lose our fears. Freedom only leaves a man free to climb up. A stinging man's gifts always have strings on them. They share His triumph who shrink not from His trials. Mansions in the skies are not built out of mud slung at others. The higher life always begins with the death of the lower. A sensible man knows he cannot trust his senses all the time. Wisdom is like money, it never grows so long as it is hoarded. The heart that is full of joy always has room for another's sorrows. Many men are praying for more faith who need to ask for less folly. He Met the Test. It is said that when F. B. Meyer held the first meeting in his church for workingmen he said: "Men, we won't call one another brethren, but we will call each other brother." The next day as Mr. Meyer was walking on the streets a scavenger shouted to him: "Good morning, Brother Meyer." He replied: "Good morning, my brother." Then the scavenger got down from his cart and went over where Mr. Meyer was and respectfully saluted him. But when Mr. Meyer attempted to take his hand the man drew back, saying: "Excuse me, my hand is not fit for the likes of you to take." But the preacher said: "There is lots of soap and water at Christ church. Give me your hand." Later in the day, the scavenger, meeting four of his comrades, said, holding up his right hand: "Say, fellows, the new parson over to Christ church has shaken hands with that hand." "Well," they said, "if he has done that, he'll do."—Ram's Horn. Cleopatra was speaking of her famous trip on the Nile. "Fudge on a golden barge," she said. "What I want is a little canoe with 17 sofa cushions and a young man paddling with the sleeves of his $3.50 shirt up!" Some historians assert that this dis appointment, more than the parting from Antony, caused her to apply the asp at a later period.—Detroit Tribune. Watered Silk Silks which are intended for watering must be of good quality. In the process they are wetted and then folded with particular care to insure the threads of the fabric all lying in one direction. The folded pieces are then subjected to enormous hydraulic pressure, the water is slowly expelled and in escaping the moisture is drawn into curious waved lines, which are permanent. Mere Misprint.

Men are not happy without plenty of work; and a man who has no outlet for his energy elsewhere bestows it on his household, with generally unfavorable results.—Lady St. Helier, in Leisure Hour. Alphonso Sets a Style. One of the consequences of young afonso's visit to England is the birth of the "hidalgo" hat, a modified Spanish turban with which modish Englishmen are beginning to deck their heads. Although distinctly more suitable for winter, it makes a gallant appearance. Mails By Sky-Rocket Perhaps the most unusual way of delivering mails is that adopted for one of the islands of the Tonga group in the Pacific, where the danger of approaching inshore renders it necessary for the mail steamer to use a skyrocket as a postman.

How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles That Had Made Life Wretched for Many Years. The immediate causes of headaches vary, but most of them come from poor or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood is scanty or thin; the nerves are imperfectly nourished and pain is the way in which they express their weakness. In colds the blood absorbs poison from the mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates the nerves and produces pain. In rheumatism, malaria and the grip, the poison in the blood produces like discomfort. In indigestion the gases from the impure matter kept in the system affect the blood in the same way. The ordinary headache-cures at best give only temporary relief. They deaden the pain but do not drive the poison out of the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills on the contrary thoroughly renew the blood and the pain disappears permanently. Women in particular have found these pills an unfailing relief in headaches caused by anemia. Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did me a great deal of good. I had headache nearly all the time. After I had taken three boxes of these pills I became entirely well." "How long had you suffered?" she was asked. "For several years. I can't tell the exact date when my illness began for it came on by slow degrees. I had been going down hill for many years." "Did you have any other ailments?" "I was very weak and sometimes I had fever. My liver and kidneys were affected as well as my head." "How did you come to take the remedy that cured you?" "I saw in a southern newspaper a statement of some person who was cured of a like trouble by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My physician hadn't done me any good, so I bought a box of these pills. After I had taken one box I felt so much better that I kept on until I became entirely well." Miss Blocker's home is at Leander, Louisiana. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists. Besides headache they cure neuralgia, sciatica, nervous prostration, partial paralysis and rheumatism.

Having annexed all the land within reach as well as a considerable portion of the adjacent atmosphere in order to accommodate its overwhelming accessions in the way of population, New York has made a threatening advance on the interior of the earth. Having outdone itself in the construction of towering monstrosities, the notion has been conceived, and carried out, of inverting a skyscraper and extending its accumulating stories into the earth. In the building of a new hotel opposite the Forty-second street station the designer himself so circumscripted by the Rapid Transit subway that he was compelled to resort to some ingenious methods in order to secure a necessary "service front." The Rapid Transit subway runs through one corner of the lower stories so as to take about one-fifth of the area of four of them and practically incloses the east and north sides, says the Engineering Record, preventing access to the street and light there. This leaves no opportunity for service entrances except on Forty-first street, where the right has been purchased from the city to extend the underground stories 30 feet from the curb line to the center of the street, thereby securing excellent and abundant facilities to receive supplies. It was desired to provide for all storage, machinery installation, operating plant and the general service of the house below the street level; and as much of the space was lost through the encroachments of the subway, it was necessary to carry the excavation down to a great depth and build five stories below the sidewalk level. The lowest story, 60 feet below the curb, has bunkers on the south side for the storage of about 800 tons of coal, received from chutes in Forty-first street. The remainder of this story is occupied with the power plant, elevator, machinery, pipes, ducts, etc. The engine room is unusually high, with a gallery on the west side at the level of and connecting with a mezzanine floor in the north side of the building, occupied by the ventilating apparatus. The next floor above is at about the level of the subway tracks and is devoted principally to the laundry and to storage. The next story, which is two flights down from the street, has a large area for the servants' dining-rooms, kitchens, toilet rooms, etc., and from it is an entrance to the subway station, adjacent to which there are barber shops, chiropodists and other offices of a public nature. The next story is one flight below the street, and has a kitchen for the main dining-room, a 60x125-foot restaurant, a cafe and barroom, and a passage to a gallery above the subway, by which guests of the hotel can reach the Grand Central depot under cover. The rotunda floor, next above, is about at street level and contains the 50x100-foot main dining-room and the spacious entrance lobby, which have heights of about 26 and 30 feet in the clear respectively. Adjacent to the dining-room is a palm room with an elaborate domed roof, 30 feet in diameter, supported on columns. There is a mezzanine floor communicating with the dining-room galleries and serving as an overflow for guests and for the smoking and writing rooms; and there are also service rooms with galleries, telegraph and telephone offices, etc. The street floor is made with two levels conforming to the different grades of Forty-first and Forty-second streets, and a corresponding offset in the floor is made in the story below. The second story is devoted to state apartments, banquet rooms, patrons and a few large suites. The third and succeeding stories are arranged in about 750 suites, each of which includes a bathroom. The upper story is intended principally for servants' lodgings. EVER TREAT YOU SO? Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come Up. A clergyman who pursues his noble calling in a country parish in Iowa, tells of his coffee experience: "My wife and I used coffee regularly for breakfast, frequently for dinner, and occasionally for supper—always the very best quality—package coffee never could find a place on our table. "In the spring of 1896 my wife was taken with violent vomiting which we had great difficulty in stopping. "It seemed to come from coffee drinking, but we could not decide. "In the following July, however, she was attacked a second time by the vomiting. I was away from home filling an appointment at the time, and on my return I found her very low; she had literally vomited herself almost to death, and it took some days to quiet the trouble and restore her stomach. "I had also experienced the same trouble, but not so violently, and had relieved it, each time, by a resort to medicine. "But my wife's second attack satisfied me that the use of coffee was at the bottom of our troubles, and so we stopped it forthwith and took on Postum Food Coffee. The old symptoms of disease disappeared, and during the 9 years that we have been using Postum instead of coffee we have never had a recurrence of the vomiting. We never weary of Postum, to which we know we owe our good health. This is a simple statement of facts." Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.

Memory verses 1-3. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth."—Eccl. 12:1. TIME. Josiah ascended the throne B. C. 630. The critical years in his reign were the eighth, twelfth and eighteenth. PLACE. Jerusalem, although the reforms extended throughout Judah and the country that had been the northern kingdom. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES...Josiah's parentage: 2 Kings 22:1. Exaltation of David as a model king. V. 2: 1 Kings 11:4; 15:3. 5: 2 Kings 14:3; 18:2. 22:2. 28:1. Compare Josiah's slaughter of the heathen priests with Elijah's (1 Kings 18:40) and Jehu's (2 Kings 10:18-28). Compare these events with the prophecy of 1 Kings 13:2. 22. Note also 2 Kings 23:16-15. Compare Josiah's reforms with those of Asa (2 Chron. 10:1), Jehoshaphat (2 Chron. 17:1-9), Josiah (2 Chron. 17:1-14), and Hezekiah (1 Chron. 23:1). Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. "Eight years old . . . reign." He was under tutors and regents until he reached the age of 18 years. V. 2. "Did that which was right." No other king of Judah has higher renown for piety and religious zeal. "David his father." David was his ancestor. "Declined neither . . . left." He did not turn aside from the straight path into either idolatry or untested zeal. V. 3. "Eighth year of his reign." It is very wise indeed to seek God in youth. Each day spent away from Him gives us one day more to repent of, and weakens our desire to repent and our power to turn unto righteousness. "In the twelfth year." As soon as Josiah came of age he began to show that he would be a true king and a great reformer. The work, however, could not be done in a day, but was carried on throughout his reign. V. 4. This verse gives a summary of the work carried on throughout Josiah's reign. "Baalim." Various forms of the god Baal. "Images." Rev. Ver., "Sun images." See 2 Kings 33:5-11. This form of worship, like the reverence paid to the heavenly bodies, had doubtless been borrowed from Assyria. V. 5. "Burnt the bones . . . altars." This would, in the opinion of all heathen, as well as according to the views of the Jews, so defile the altars that they could never again be used. V. 6. "So did he . . . unto Naphtali." All these names designate tribes who had belonged to the northern kingdom. That kingdom had been overthrown a century before, and most of its people deported. The few who were left in the land were evidently encouraged by Josiah to look to him as their king. Read of one incident in 1 Kings 13:1, 2 and 2 Kings 23:15-20. "With their mattocks." (See Rev. Ver.) V. 7. "When . . . returned to Jerusalem." King Josiah personally supervised the matter, made a journey through the land and saw that all was done as he had ordered. V. 8. "When he had purged the land." As above described. "And the house." The temple also was ceremonially purified. "Shaphan." This man is called in the other record, the king's scribe. V. 9. "They." The three officers above named. "Hilkiah, the high priest." A godly man and ancestor of Ezra (Ezra 7:11). "They delivered the money," etc. It seems quite probable that money for the work had been collected, as in Joash's time (2 Kings 12), by Leviite collectors, who went among the northern tribes, and by the free-will offerings of those who came to worship at the temple. "The Levites that kept the doors." The tribe of Levi furnished the priests and all the workers about the temple. Some of these very likely had in charge a collection box which stood at the door of the priests' court. "They returned," etc. Better in Rev. Ver. V. 10. "They." The officers who had received the money from priests and Levites. "Put it in the hand." Gave it to the overseers of the work, to be expended, as it was needed, in mending and repairing the temple, its courts and its furniture. V. 11. "Artificers," etc. See Rev. Ver. Carpenters and stone-masons were employed for the work which is described in 2 Kings as "repairing the breaches." This indicated that the temple had suffered from rough usage as well as from decay. V. 12. "Overseers . . . set it forward." The overseers, who also were of the tribe of Levi, guided the work. We are told in the other record that they did the work so faithfully that no reckoning was made with them of the money. V. 13. "Scribes." This word was primarily used of "transcriber of the law," but in the present instance probably refers to the clerks who kept an account of the work and the workmen Practical Points. V. 2. It requires only the slightest deviation to mar perfection, hence we should beware of the first misstep.—Prov. 4:27. V. 3. Early youth is the best time to seek God.—Prov. 8:17. V. 3. We should do all that we can to annihilate the evils which infest our land.—Rom. 12:21. V. 8. He who loves God, loves God's house.—Ps. 84:10. V. 11.

Mrs. Emma Sawyer Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most efficient treatment for kidney troubles of women, and is the only medicine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a brick-dust sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. "I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the female organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and I made up my mind I could not live. I finally decided to put down the Vegetable Compound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I tell every suffering woman about my case." Mrs. Emma Sawyer, Conyors, Ga. Mrs. Pinkham gives free advice to women; address in confidence, Lynn, Mass. SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by these Little Pills.

"Gimme a little cold polar bear," said the man in the basement restaurant to the waitress who, having brought him a glass of water, had stopped to get his order, relates the Chicago Tribune. "Polar bear's all out," she replied, with a far-away gaze that went past his head without seeing him. "Got any iced watermelon?" "Yeh. Want some?" "No, not if you've got it. How about that pickled tongue?" "S'all right. Du want that?" "Not any for mine. I'm married. Well, I don't see anything here on this bill that's cold. I can't eat it. I'm alone hot pancakes and coffee. Hurry 'em along, will you? They are bound to be cold by the time I get 'em." The waitress swept away, still without seeing the customer. He called her back. "Here," said the customer, "that was a joke. I want a boiled dinner. With time the to laugh the next time I get funny?" "Chloroform," said the waitress, as she started for the kitchen.

ONE OF THE GREATEST EVENTS OF THE SEASON Last Sunday the corner stone laying of the Patterson Avenue Baptist church was laid by the most worship- ful grand lodge of Missouri. Over a thousand persons were present, and the Masonic Order turned out in full force. Brother J. G.-Stevens acted as grand master, representing Grand Mas- ter C. G. Williams, of Boonville, Mo. Long before the order arrived the chyrch assembled and had conducted the service of the church. We notieed many Devines of the Baptist faith. After the Masonic Order arrived, and in order Rev. W. H. Davis was intro- duced by Brother W. H. Harrison, who acted as master of ceremonies. Rev. Davis welcomed the order in a most eloquent speech, he said: WELCOME ADDRESS. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, of Ancient Free and Accepted Ma- sons, of the State of Missouri, the Representatives of the Various Christian Organizations, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Fellow-Citizens: We have assembled here this after- noon for the purpose of taking a part in, and being witnesses to the laying of the corner stone of the Paterson Avenue Baptist church. Our coming together here at. this place, at this hour, is in keeping with an ancient and time honored custom; one that has commanded the time and attention of men great and small, from the earliest dawn of civilization, and bids fair to continue as long as time lasts. On behalf of the Patterson Avenue Baptist church, in whose honor you have assembled here this afternoon, I bid you welcome. Our fetes and cere- monies may not be as elaborate or splendid, as was attended at the lay- ing of the corner stone of St. Peter's Cathedral at Rome; or the St. George Chapel of England; nor will you be called upon to witness the blood-curd- ling events attended at the laying of the corner stone of the Kremlin at Moscow; but with no less sincerity of heart, purity of purpose, or reverence to God, I bid you welcome to the feast. You have come to the abiding place of your friends; you have come to aid | by. your presence, a people who are lovers of God and His cause. And while we are thus gathered together, our hearts go out to you in gratitude, for the brotherly love manifested in your coming, and we extend to you a most hearty welcome. On behalf of the officers and mem- bers of the Patterson Avenue Baptist church, of whose hospitality, you have, at this time, seen cause to partake, I extend to you, one and all, a cordial welcome. Welcome, because we believe, from the brotherly love and good fellowship shone by your presence here this after- noon, that you appreciate the effort we are about to put forth in rearing a temple in which to worship the true and living God, and we are proud of the honor thus bestowed. We welcome you, because by your presence we are made to believe that we are not alone in the service of God; we welcome you, because you thus come with a high ideal: and we wel- come you, because of this high ideal— the religion of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We welcome you, because by your presence you exault Christ; you man- ifest a belief in His teachings—the ideal of human perfection. ‘Therefore, in the name of God, and the Holy Priesthood of Christ, I bid you one and all thrice welcome. After which Brother J. C. Fengh re- sponded in a very able address. Just before laying the corner stone a col- lection was taken up, with good re- | sults. About one hundred and sixty dollars was realized. It was won- derful to see our Baptist brethren give | so freely. During the collection many eloquent speeches were made by the | members of the order and Baptist De- | vines. | Worshipful Grand Master (acting) J. |G. Stevens called for any token that | persons wanted to deposit in the stone. , Many responded giving 5 cents, 10 | cents, 25 cents. A call was made by the grand master for any newspaper, the Eagle, Advance and the St. Louis Pal- Jadium. The manager of the Palla- dium, J. W. Wheeler, presented a copy of the St. Louis Palladium and one dollar to be deposited in the stone. Some wanted to take the money out but the manager, J. W. Wheeler, in- sisted on it being deposited in the cor- ner stone, which was dene. So as long as the Patterson Avenue Baptist church stands it will rest on a copy of the St. Louis Palladium and one dollar, that was deposited therein. After the laying of the stone which was done in due and ancient form un- der the jurisdiction of the Most Wor- shipful Grand Lodge of the State of Missouri, conducted by Brother J. T. Stevens. An intermission of 40 minutes was granted for refreshments after which the order assembled again and marched arcund the church three times, and then started for home. This was one of the most noted occasions that we have witnessed for years. MANAGER WHEELER. Houses For Sale.
