A full account of the services will ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES Rev. Dr. N. H. Bayne preached at 11 a. m. and at 8 p. m. Sunday, the 27th, and, as usual, his sermons were fine and much enjoyed by all. Rev. S. P. Anderson, pastor of Antioch church, would be much pleased to see all his members at 8 o'clock service next Sunday, at which time a full report from the rally and excursion will be made. Sunday, the 27th, was rally day at Antioch church. Services were only held morning and evening. Several of the clubs, or tribes, did not report, so a full account of the rally can not be given until next week, when an account of the excursion will be given. The excursion of the season was taken out Monday, the 28th, by Antioch Baptist church. A much larger crowd than was expected went, and everybody spent a day of pleasure, and returned home much pleased with their trip. Stallings, Ill., is a beautiful place, and those who did not go missed quite a good deal. So prepare for next year. The Bercan B. Y. P.

The Pombleros association held their second annual smoker at the residence of Dr. Harry Richardson. All members of the organization were present, except Messrs. Jas B. Huston and T. Leon Sydnor, who are spending their vacations in the western parts of Missouri and Kansas. The business manager, Frank E. Rhoda, announced that all arrangements for the Labor Day outing next Monday were completed, and from the present indications the excursion would certainly break all records. A report from the director of admissions was read, which states that, owing to this being Labor Day and to avoid unisirable patronage, there will be no complimentary tickets issued. After refreshments were served, Mr. Joseph Crook, president of Local Union No. 3 B. L. I. P. U. of America, was introduced, who made a very interesting address concerning labor organizations and their relation to the Negro workman. Mr. Crook accepted the invitation extended by the president of the Pombleros, to the Building Laborers' International Protective Union of America, to accompany them on their excursion Labor Day, next Monday. Boat leaves 10 a. m. for Alton and Chautauqua park, returning 6:30 p. m.; leaving the same evening at 8 p. m., returning at 12 p. m. We sail next Monday, September 4, 1905.

ENTERS Mrs. Endelia Smith was born at Culpeper, Va., about 55 years ago, and has been a resident of St. Louis, Mo., about 32 years. She has also been a member of the M. E. church for over 30 years. Mrs. Smith has resided in Belleville, Ill., for the past two years with her daughter, Mrs. Dollie Wiley. She has been a patient sufferer, and has been confined to her bed since December last. During her illness she was administered to by Rev. Perry, of the A. M. E. church at Belleville, Ill. Rev. Perry visited her almost daily during her illness, and whenever she was asked concerning her future prospects, she would say that it is well with her soul, and that she was only waiting on the Lord. She was often visited by her son-in-law, Mr. Thos. Jordan, and Mrs. Jordan, and at all times she would say that she was ready, and admonished them to meet her in Heaven. A few days before she died she called her daughters, Mrs. Wiley and Jordan, and Mr. Wiley to her bedside and thanked them for their kindness to her, and said that all of them had been very kind to her, also her neighbors, and she wanted to meet them all in Heaven. She departed this life at Belleville, Ill. August 24, 1905, at 1:40 p. m. She leaves two daughters and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Dollie Wiley and Mrs. Maggie Jordan from whose residence she was taken to the church. We Mourn To All Whom It May Concern—The life and death of Brother Henry Heron, He departed this life August 20, 1905. He had been a citizen of St. Louis since 1865; a member of the Mount Zion church for 35 years; a deacon more than thirty years. He leaves a wife and two children, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. His wife, Nannie Heron, was a Miss Jones, whom he married 40 years ago. Although Heron was ill more than ten years, yet Mrs, Heron was a kind, loving and devoted wife. She was an example for all wives, and stood by with her loving aid until the end came. Mr. Charley Heron, who has charge of the Florissant and Valley club, is a man whose character as a gentleman is hard to equal. Mrs. Ella Butler, his daughter, is one of our most distinguished women. Mr. Samuel Wilson is his brother; also Mr. Moses Heron, of Memphis, Tenn. His loss is to his wife, two children, two brothers, a daughter and son-in-law, and a host of friends. OBITUARY. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest L. Harris learned with regret of the death of their beautiful babe, who was given to them by God August 5, 1905, and who returned to Him August 24. "Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with tender care, The opening bud to Heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there."

All of St. Louis' royal blood will be out to see the society event at Empire park Labor Day. Take Market street cars, get off at Tamm. From present indications the largest attendance of the season will witness the Labor Day game at Empire park. Y. M. C. A. vs. Troop L, Ninth Cavalry. A closely-contested game is assured. The object of these outdoor games is to raise funds to equip a gymnasium and to establish athletics in the association, so that old men as well as young men, old women as well as young ladies, may have a chance at gymnastic exercises. A good attendance greeted Prof. Hunter last Sunday afternoon at the men's meeting. Dr. Cook, of St. Paul, was present also, and spoke words of encouragement to us, pledging his support and membership. We appreciate the interest of the ministers in our work. The object of the physical work of the Y. M. C. A. is to stand for the broad conception of life into which the young man of to-day is born; the work of the association in the gymnasium and on the field have always been latent in the organization, that manliness and reliquion ought to be identical. The influence of the association to make manliness the natural form of the religious life, and to plant deep in a young man's consciousness the idea that if he is to be a religious man he must be first and foremost a manly man. Our effort is to equip our association to do this specific work and thus help to build character. No Progress. The Negro is making little or no progress in the United States, which is partially due to the fact that the $840,000,000 worth of property upon which they pay taxes depreciated in value 75 per cent. Owing to the fact that 75 per cent. of their immunities are still null and void, as neither property nor money are valuable to race, only in proportion as they can use it in comfort, pleasure and enjoyment. And also with the slight lack of interest in Christianity, small gain in education, and great gain in race prejudice upon us, makes itself evident that the present atmosphere in the United States is not conducive to Negro progress. Therefore, for any hope of our remuneration, the leaders must stop their bucking, the race its improper actions, which only serve as food to the prejudice of a race against us; but by playing upon the sympathetic nature of the white race we can scarcely fail to secure the growth of his conscience toward us. And as the success of any race largely depends upon the unity of its people, then let us no longer be the recipient of those physical defects into human inertia that have for so long impeded the progress of our mental growth. Also ever keep in mind that things grow from that upon which they feed, and remember that the Twentieth Century Race Guide will contain the methods and solutions to all that is necessary for the rapid progress of the Negro in the United States.

SMITH, 2337 Market Street Cornerstone Laying Last Sunday the cornerstone of the Baptist church on Semple avenue, near St. Louis avenue, was laid by the Most Worshiful Grand Lodge of Missouri, A. F. and A. M. Deputy Grand master, assisted by Geo. W. Brown, J. Hughes, H. H. Lawless, J. T. Anderson, J. M. Turner and Lone Star Lodge No. 2. The welcome address was responded to by Hon. J. M. Turner in a most eloquent manner. Just before the closing of the stone, Grand Master Stevenson invited all who wished to deposit something in the stone to pass the articles to him. The manager of the Palladium was the first to respond with a copy of the Palladium and 50 cents to be deposited in the stone. Many other things were deposited, and after the craftsmen had performed their work on the stone the same was laid with due and ancient form. The Knight Templars were commanded by Sir W. A. Ashley in a most dignified manner; the order then passed around the church three times and then started for their hall. HOME FOR SCABS.

Peace Made Possible By the Wisely Considered Magnanimity of the Japanese. Russia Won a Diplomatic Victory and Saved Her Roubles; Japan Won a Moral Victory and Saved Thousands of Lives. President Roosevelt Has Won for Himself and Country the World's Commendation. The Work of Putting the Treaty of Peace Into Shape Will Now be Proceeded With. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 30.—The conference has arrived at complete accord on all questions. The Japanese yielded practically everything. They accepted the Russian ultimatum, no indemnity and a division of Sakhalin without payment of redemption money. "It seems incredible. I don't believe any other man in my place would have dared to hope for the possibility of peace on the conditions we have just agreed to."—WITTE. Men Threw Their Hats In the Air and Women Wept. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 30.—A scene of great excitement followed the receipt of the news of the conference agreement in the lobby of the Hotel SERGIUS WITTE. Wentworth. The official bulletin was telephoned from the conference room at the navy yard by Mr. Sato, and like an electric thrill flooded through the room. There were screams of joy. Men throw their hats aloft, women actually wept. Then there was a rush for the telegraph offices, and in an instant the news was spreading to the remotest corners of the earth. PEACE HAS ARRIVED. Russia Was the Victor In This Final Battle of Diplomacy. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 30.—Peace is here. It arrived when the envoys of Russia and Japan met at the navy yard and came to an agreement on all points of difference. RUSSIA was the victor in this final battle of diplomacy. SHE GOT ALL she contended for. JAPAN CONCEDED every point in dispute. SHE WITHDREW her demand for indemnity. SHE GAVE UP the contention for a cession of Sakhalin island and agreed to divide it with Russia, returning the northern half. SHE RECEDED from her determination to have Russia's interned warships. SHE ABANDONED her claim that Russia should limit her sea power in the far east. RUSSIA AGREED to make liberal payment for the support of the Russian prisoners captured by the Japanese. Immediately the agreement was reached the news was flashed to Tokyo and St. Petersburg and the envoys asked instructions for arranging an armistice pending the drawing up and signing of the treaty of peace. The envoys are arranging details of the armistice. As soon as it is ready, they will proceed to the elaboration and drawing of the peace treaty, and will sit daily until it is completed. "It was a complete victory for To Dine With Emperor William. Berlin, Aug. 30—Congressman William Alden Smith, of Michigan, one of the American group of delegates to the interparliamentary congress at Brussels, received an invitation from Emperor William to dine with him Saturday night. The Educational Congress. Portland, Ore., Aug. 30—Several prominent educators addressed the Lewis and Clark Educational congress, among them being President Ide Wheeler of the University of California. Russia," said M. Witte, mopping his brow as he came out of the peace conference at the adjournment for the noon recess. When the envoys met Baron Komura presented a half proposition, looking to the payment of some sort of indemnity by Russia. "THAT WILL NEVER DO," said M. Witte, "we have said our last word—Russia will never pay a cent of indemnity." BARON KOMURA. Instantly Komura said: "VERY WELL, WE WILL WAIVE ALL IN-DEMNITY AND DEMAND ONE-HALF OF SAKHALIN." "WITTE WAS THUNDERSTRUCK. He had expected no such concession. There was nothing for him to do but accept, and he did accept. It is estimated that Russia will pay from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 to the Japanese for the care of the Russian prisoners. M. Witte expresses the opinion that some time will be required to complete the details of the treaty. He does not approximate the period, but it is apparent that several weeks will probably elapse before the treaty is ready for the final signature. The Japanese correspondents express great dissatisfaction with the basis of the treaty. STORY OF THE FINAL SESSION. A Happy Termination of the Portsmouth Peace Conference. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 30.—The long and bloody war between Japan and Russia is ended. The terms of peace were settled by Mr. Witte and Baron Komura at the session of the conference Tuesday morning, and in the afternoon preliminary arrangements for an armistice were concluded and the actual work of framing the "Treaty of Portsmouth" was, by mutual agreement, turned over to Mr. Oe Martens, Russia's great international lawyer, and Mr. Dennison, who for 25 years has acted as the legal adviser of the Japanese foreign office. The treaty is expected to be completed by the end of the week. This happy conclusion of the conference which, a week ago, would have been shipwrecked had it not been for the heroic intercession of President Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic. For the sake of peace, Japan, with the magnanimity of a victor, at the last moment yielded everything still in issue. Russia refused to budge from the ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had given to President Roosevelt through Ambassador Meyer. No indemnity under any guise, but an agreement to divide Sakhalin and reimburse Japan for the maintenance of the Russia prisoners were his last words. They had been repeatedly reiterated in Mr. Witte's instructions and in the form of a written reply to the Japanese compromise proposal of last Wednesday, they were delivered to Baron Komura Tuesday morning. Mr. Witte went to the conference declaring he was powerless to change the dot of an 1 or the cross of a t in his instructions. Emperor Nicholas' word had been given not only to him, but to President Roosevelt, the head of a foreign state. Japan Played the Trump Card. When Baron Komura, therefore, first offered the new basis of compromise outlined in the press dispatches yesterday (the complete regunciation of indemnity, coupled with the proposition for the redemption of Sakhalin at a price to be fixed by a mixed tribunal consisting of representatives of the neutral powers, in fact, if not in words, the solution offered by the president). Mr. Witte again returned a non possumus. It was what Mr. Witte termed in a recent interview the "psychological moment." Mr. Witte did not flinch. He expected a rupture, and as he expressed himself afterwards, he was stunned by what happened. Baron Komura gave way on all the disputed points. To Rengi Meant More War. With the presence that has enabled the Japanese to gauge the mental process of their adversaries on the field of battle and upon the sea, they had realized in advance that peace could be obtained in no other way. They had warned their government. President Roosevelt had also, it is believed, advised Japan that it was better to meet the Russian position than to take the responsibility of continuing the war for the purpose of collecting tribute. The mikado at the session of the cabinet and elder statesmen had sanctioned the concession. When Baron Komura yielded, the rest was mere child's play. Toronto, Ont., Aug. 30.—For the first time in eight years the Canadians won the international cricket match by defeating the United States by one inning and 29 runs. The Americans could do nothing with the Canadian bowling. Lineman Electrocented. St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 30.—C. J. Jordan, a telephone lineman, was killed by a live wire. He was working on top of a pole at the time. His wife, who lives in St. Louis, and parents in New York city, were notified by telegraph. "Just and Lasting" Peace. Both sides, once the deadlock was broken, wanted a "just and lasting" peace, and in that spirit it was decided to practically neutralize Sakhalin, each country binding itself not to fortify its half of the island, and Japan assuming an obligation not to fortify the La Perouse strait between Sakhalin and Hokkaido, which would bar Russia's commercial route to the Pacific. The plenipotentiaries went further. They decided to add a new clause in the nature of a broad provision for mutual commercial privileges by which each country will secure for the other the benefit of the "most favored nation" clause and the "open door." Will Be a Friendly Document. The new treaty, therefore, will be a wonderfully friendly document of character almost to raise the suspicion that the two countries have not negotiated peace, but have concluded the basis of a future alliance. There is, however, no evidence as rumored that any secret clauses are to be appended to the present treaty. Before leaving the conference building felicitations were exchanged with the president at Oyster Bay. Both Baron Komura and Mr. Witte telegraphed. The former confined himself to apprizing Mr. Roosevelt of the conditions upon which peace had been concluded. Mr. Witte frankly laid his tribute at the president's feet. In his message he said. BARON ROSEN "History will ascribe to you the glory," and added the expression of Russia's hearty appreciation of the presidentd's "generous initiative." Mr. Roosevelt replied with words of thanks and congratulation. Then began the jubilation. Mr. Witte and Baron de Rosen returned to the hotel for luncheon. The Japanese had remained at the conference hall to lunch with Mr. Peirce. The news that peace had been concluded had preceded the Russian plenipotentiaries, and such scenes of wild rejoicing have never before been witnessed in the state of New Hampshire as greeted them upon their arrival at the hotel. Mr. Witte, dazed at the sudden and happy termination of the conference, was fairly overpowered by the tremendous ovation he received. He could only express his gratitude by shaking the hands of everybody, and in response to the volley of questions fired at him as to the terms, murmured. "We pay not a kopeck and we get half of Sakhalin." Later, in his room, when he had partially recovered himself, he declared that he could not have dreamed of such a victory, for that he regards it as a diplomatic triumph of the first magnitude he makes no attempt to conceal. MINISTER TAKIHIRA. And that is the general verdict here. The Russians are overjoyed at the re- "We have had our Liao Yangs and Mukdens on land," they say, "and our Tsushima on sea, but the Japanese have their Portsmouth." THE PRESIDENT ELATED. The News Took the President by Surprise and He is Thankful. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 30.—In his library at Sagamore Hill, President Roosevelt received the announcement that the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth had reached an agreement and would proceed at once for formulate a treaty of peace. Came Sooner Than Expected. The announcement had not been expected so soon. The president at no time during the negotiations pending had abandoned hope of a successful issue of the conference, but he had realized more clearly than any other one man in the world the enormous difficulties which confronted the envoys in Jollet, Ill., Aug. 30.—The delegates to the National Kreigerbund had a stormy debate over a resolution increasing assessments in the insurance branch. The resolution finally prevailed. Rates will be increased on January 1 next from $1.50 to $1.75 per quarter. Jeweler Says He Was Robbed. St. Louis, Aug. 30.—The safe of H. H. Gernardt, jeweler, was riffed, he says, of $1,000 worth of gems. He has caused the arrest of two clerks, who declare they know nothing of the affair. their deliberations. While he has not for a moment relaxed his earnest efforts to induce the conferees to continue their discussions with a view to securing a basis of agreement, he had felt for 48 hours that the task he had set for himself in the interest of humanity and civilization was well-nigh hopeless. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Situation. Had Looked Dark The president's final appeals to St. Petersburg and Tokio had been made. No response had been received from the orient, but from Petrohof palace had come, in Emperor Nicholas' own words, Russia's ultimatum—"not a kopeck of indemnity, not a verst of territory." The situation looked black indeed. The president, however, did not despair. With the final terms of the Japanese government, as soon as they should be received from Japan's emperor, he had determined to seek the aid of Emperor William of Germany, in support of his propositions that the warring powers submit their points of difference to the arbitriment of an impartial tribunal. Had Suggested Arbitration. Arbitration, in one form or another, had been the president's solution of the difficulty ever since the differences, seemingly irreconcilable by the envoy, had arisen. To this proposition Japan had acceded. With the powerful influence of the German emperor at Peterhof enlisted, it was hoped that the ground of objection might be cut from beneath the feet of Emperor Nicholas. Official Confirmation. Official confirmation of the historic tidings reached the president in a cipher dispatch from Portsmouth. By authority and at the request of Baron Komura, the chief envoy of Japan, the dispatch sated: "The plenipotentiaries of Japan have withdrawn their claim for reimbursement of war expenses, and an agreement has been reached as to the partition of the island of Sakhalin. All main points have been definitely settled. The plenipotentiaries will now proceed with discussion of details." Full Report From Portsmouth. Shortly after the receipt of this message, the full report of the scenes at Portsmouth incident to the announcement of the news there, including Mr. Witte's statement, of the adjustment of the differences by the conferences, was received at the executive offices and carried by a special messenger to President Roosevelt at his home. He read the account with deep interest. President Profoundly Gratified. While the president did not seek to conceal his profound gratification that the conference had reached an agreement, he said he was obliged, in the circumstances, to refrain from any formal expression regarding the work accomplished until he should have been informed fully as to the details. It can be said, however, that he feels that the successful issue of the conference is a great triumph for humanity and civilization. Such public expression as he may make regarding the work of the conference will be announced after he shall have had opportunity carefully to consider it. STATEMENT BY MR. SATO. He Voices the Official View of the Japanese Position. Portsmouth, Aug. 30.—The Japanese statement was issued by Mr. Sato on behalf of the Japanese plenipotentiaries: "The questions of the final disposition of the island of Sakhalin and the reimbursement to Japanese of her war expenses have from the first been issues on which absolute divergence of views existed. The difference of opinion upon these points—not one, but both—have frequently threatened the existence of the conference. But his majesty, the emperor of Japan, responding to the dictates of humanity and civilization, in a spirit of perfect conciliation and in the interest of peace, authorized his plenipotentiaries to waive the question of reimbursement of war expenses and consented to a division of Sakhalin upon terms which are mutually acceptable, thus making it possible to bring the important work of the conference to a successful issue." Seattle, Wash., Aug. 30.—Gus Bobbs, who is alleged to have stolen $10,000 in cash and checks from Charles A. Stevens & Brothers, of Chicago, on August 17, was arrested here, and is being held pending the arrival of a Chicago officer. Bobbs admits that he is the man wanted. Auburn, Ind., Aug. 30.—Anthony Zonker, a young farmer, was shot and killed by Frederick Kuckuck, his mother's suitor, who pleads self-defense. Zonker object to the remarriage of his mother, a widow. Killed by Brother's Tombstone. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 29.—Killed by the collapse of a tombstone while seated on his brother's grave at Williston, Tenn., was the fate of 4-year-old Boyce King, son of a New Albany (Miss.) plaster. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE.

Be careful how you praise a public man until you are sure he is dead.— Life. THE PALLADIUM IS FIRST—THE OTHERS FOLLOW. NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D. C..... 4 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each..... 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey, and California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3 ..... 12 Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado, each 3 ..... 12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Monta- tana, Utah, West Virginia, Wis- consin, Indian Territory have one each ..... 7 Teritory have on each ..... 7 Published in the south ..... 101 Published in the west ..... 44 Published in the east ..... 20 Total And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune, and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. THE PALLADIUM REACHES MORE HOMES THAN ALL OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE WEST AND IS UP TO DATE ON ALL MATTERS OF INTEREST. For Sale. We keep on hand several wonderful remedies.

F. meets the third Tuesday in each month BEER-DRINKING IN GERMANY. An American consular report draws attention to the enormous consumption of beer in German cities. In certain places unfavorable social conditions have decreased the consumption, notably in Saxony and Bavaria, but throughout the German empire in the last twenty years there has been an increase in the consumption of beer from ten and one-half gallons per capita to thirty-two gallons and three quarts. The most suggestive figures are those from Munich, the capital of Bavaria, where fourteen years ago the consumption of beer reached the almost incredible figure of nearly ten gallons per capita per annum.

SAN ANTONIO & ARKANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY 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 Homeseckers' 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, Beeville, Skidmore, Punge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Flrcresville, 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 are 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. It doesn't hesitate longer. Buy your ticket and go at once. ROOMS FOR RENT Large furnished rooms for rent. 2704 Lucas avenue. Neatly furnished rooms to let, at 5 S. 21st st. Mrs. W. M. Daniels.

Father, mother and friends were at her bedside. But through the benign influence of the God of Peace, she is still with us hoping for the future.

Dr. Crews has been in our city for a number of years, and by his gentlemanly bearing, and being a skillful surgeon, he has made many friends, who will stand by him in this undertaking. His brother, who has been with the Taylor drug store since it was opened, will be in business with him. He has proved himself a first-class druggist, and has made many friends that will be lasting. Really this will be the most complete drug store in the city—fresh drugs daily. This, together with courteous treatment, will make this store the center of attraction. We bespeak for them a successful business. NOTICE TO ALL-In sending matter for publication, please send something with it, as the printer must be paid. We can not publish a paper on wind. J. W. WHEELER. THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY A Wonderful Region Where Nature Is All Alive. A Railroad Opens Up a Land in Missouri and Arkansas Noted For Beauty, Fertility and Health. "The Future Playgrounds of the South-west," is what the White River Country has been called. Very earnest and exhilarating play much of this sport is to those who are jaded by familiar scenes of business life. 'Nature is all alive in this wonderful region—the rushing streams, woodland sounds of breezes in the forest, the whirr of wings where wild fowl flock to the waters, the splash of gamey fish tempting the angler, the very colors of mountain and river showing nothing of dead, arid waste of sand and stone. "Semi-Alpine," says an experienced traveler, of the country, dotted with growing towns, nestled in the valleys of the James and White rivers in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. One who has trudged through the forests or floated down the river from Galena to Branson and Cotter will be sincere in calling the Ozarks "mountains," yet there is no danger to life or limb in such a pilgrimage. The ozone-laden air from oak, pine, cypress and cedar, the absence of mosquitoes in a land of cold, spring-fed streams, cool nights and temperate days, make it a delight to live, and move, in this favored clime. There is always something to do, whether of sport or of discovery in the way of minerals on land or pearls in the stream. The casual opening of a mussel shell on the lower White river may bring to light a valuable gem. Children used to collect these pearls for playthings till their value became known Few regions have charms of a utilitarian character as well as unrivaled scenic beauty and favorable climatic conditions. One going to the White River Country to make money finds health and pleasure as well as wealth. The worn-out unfortunate who takes his small savings and here seeks to prolong his days is benefited in mind and body, and besides finds, with new life, means of securing a competence and enjoyable surroundings; the pleasure seeker, too often fagged out in the very pursuit of diversion, sees in this enchanted land serious possibilities for improving his peculiary welfare, and his whole system receives new invigoration and tone. "A fairy tale," you say? No, it is that truth which is stranger than fiction, a truth which shows one who tries to tell it the poverty of all powers of description. When the spell of the beautiful White river scenery is on the beholder he is silent. There is such a thing as the pathos of the perfect. In the mind's eye there passes in review the succeeding inhabitants of these valleys, and many generations have left their traces—the mound builders, the early discoverers from Europe, and the Indians. How many songs and legends have been chanted by primitive peoples, to whom these nature wonders spoke with mystic force. One is reminded of lines in E. Pauline Johnson's story of "The White Wampum:" eagles fly, Stretches the land of beauty, arches the perfect sky. Hemed through the purple mists afar By peaks that gleam like star on star. Fringing the prairie billows, fretting horizon's line. Darkly green are slumber wildernesses of pine. Sleeping until the zephyrs throng To kiss their silence into song. Sailing into the cloudland, sailing into the sun. Into the crimson portals ajar when life is done O dear dead race! my spirit too Would sail sail westward unto you." It is not chimerical to believe that the whole valley, now newly opened up to travel between Carthage, Mo., and Newport, Ark., will in time become a succession of charming resident and resort communities, with great mineral and agricultural prosperity. Six Months In Prison. It was a warm day just before the end of the term, and the youthful teacher is telling a class of six-year-olds in the Tederloin what a prism is. The cube and the sphere are an old story to them now, but the prism is more difficult. The teacher spends twenty minutes in strenuous illustration and explanation. Then she asks hopefully: "Boys, are you sure that you all know what a prism is?" "Yes, ma'ma," chorus the fifty. "Then, Johnny O'Nell, you may use it in a sentence." Up rises Johnnie, and he announces with perfect confidence; "Me brudder Chimmie is in prism for six months."-Life. A Controllable Memory. The Doctor—What, judge, have you really forgotten the way we bays used to steal Farmer Perkins' melons? Why, I thought you boasted of having such an excellent memory. The Judge—I have an excellent memory, doctor—it is under perfect control. The Only Preventive. "I suppose," said Mrs. Gabble, whose husband had been dead only a few weeks, "if I should go to that 5 o'clock tea it would cause a lot of talk."

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN EUROPE ASIATIC CHOLERA IN EUROPE The Spread of the Infection in Prussia is Creating Alarm. The Government Acting Promptly to Prevent the Disease Assuming Epidemic Form. Berlin, Sept. 1. The spread of cholera from two localities on the River Weichsel, five days ago, to 34 cases in 12 localities extending from the Baltic to the River Warthe, 150 miles south, and its appearance in Hamburg, has given an unpleasant thrill to the people of Germany, for it may mean a long and steady fight as in 1892-93 to prevent the disease from getting beyond control. In those years it is estimated that 800,000 persons died in Russia from cholera. The Prussian government is keenly aware of the possibilities of the danger, which so far is not regarded as giving occasion for apprehension. A committee of the cabinet, consisting of Dr. Studt, minister of medical affairs; Herr von Sudde, minister of state and minister of public works; Herr Moller, minister of commerce and industry, and Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, minister of the interior, has the general direction of the preventive measures. Numerous bacteriologists have been sent into the infected districts to assist in the surveillance of persons who have contracted cholera. SUSPECT TRUSTED SERVANT Belief That Mrs. Jane L. Stanford Was Murdered by a "Dope Fiend" While Under Influence. San Francisco, Sept. 1.—Detectives here believe they now have a definite clew to the person who administered poison to the late Jane L. Stanford, who died last January, after drinking a bottle of Poland water. Although no mention has been made of the fact, officers here, including special men of a private agency, have been engaged on the case. Every person who was intimately connected with Mrs. Stanford has been under close watch. Facts regarding the taking of opium in abnormal quantities by one of Mrs. Stanford's trusted servants have been brought to light, and suspicion rests upon this person. It has been learned that this servant frequently gave way to violent fits of temper while in the employ of Mrs. Stanford, and that she did not speak to Mrs. Stanford, except when forced to by her duties, for days at a time, and that while in this condition she threatened her employer several times. VARDAMAN TALKS PLAINLY He Declares the New Orleans Health Officers Act in Bad Faith and Are Incompetent. New Orleans, Sept. 1.—"If it were not for the bad faith, dishonesty or incompetency of the health officers of New Orleans there would not be a single case of yellow fever in the state of Mississippi," is the sweeping statement which Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi sent to this city. Mississippi's governor is very much perturbed at the presence of the plague at Natchez, Vicksburg and other important points in his state, and lays all the blame upon the health authorities of New Orleans. "The New Orleans health officers," continued Vardaman, "exhibited hypocrisy in dallying with the truth when the direct question was put to them." AERONAUT BLOWN TO ATOMS He Was Giving a Demonstration of the Use of Dynamite in War at Greenville, O. Greenville, O., Sept. 1.—Aeronaut Baldwin, of Losantville, Ind., was blown to shreds with his balloon at a height of 2,000 feet. He was giving an exhibition of the use of dynamite from a balloon for war purposes, and had three sticks of the explosive with him. When he was 2,000 feet in the air, in full sight of thousands of people attending the county fair, by some accident the dynamite exploded and the balloon and man were literally torn to fragments. Baldwin's wife was a witness of the horrible scene. TWO KILLED, FOUR INJURED Wreck On the Danville & Indiana Harbor Railroad North of Danville, Ill. Danville, Ill., Sept. 1.—Two men were instantly killed and four injured in a wreck on the Danville & Indiana Harbor railroad, one mile north of this city. The dead: John Greewald, Adrain, Mich. Frex Doxman, Murphysboro, Ill. The injured: Thomas Barrett, No. 826 North Twentieth street, St. Louis; injured about right side and head. Frank Thomas, Toledo, O.; injured about face and head. George Bagley, Patoka, Ill. Lee Unitt, Venice, Ill. An Emperor With High Idlen. New York, Sept. 1.—Baron Kaneko, Japan's financial representative in America, has washed his hands of the peace treaty. He says: "This peace treaty is entirely due to the emperor of Japan, to his interest in civilization and to his devotion to humanity and to the peace of the world." Warrant For Salmon. Clinton, Mo., Sept. 1.—A warrant has been issued for Frank M. Salmon, of the failed Salmon bank, on the charge of receiving deposits when he knew the bank was insolvent. CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of In Use For Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought THE CENTAUR COMPANY, 77 MURRAY STREET. NEW YORK CITY. European Dailies. Germany, which stands at the head of Europe for the number of its newspapers, has over 5,500, of which 800 are "dallies." England takes the second place with some 3,000, but has the most dallies, 809 in all. France is close behind with 2,800, of which a quarter appear daily, bl or tr weekly. Italy has 1,400, while in order follow Austria, Spain, Russia, Greece and Switzerland. Novel Crow-Catcher In order to catch crowns, which do so much damage to the growing crops, Italian farmers have taken to placing small pieces of meat in conical shaped paper bags, and smearing the inside of those bags with glue. When the bird puts his head in and finds himself blindfolded, he files upward to an immense height, but falls near his starting place. Fitting Punishment A good many people, when they get to the next world, says the Bochiton (I. T.) News, will find a short check on their neck and a set of harness on them while they will be hitched out in the sun, with flies biting them everywhere and their horses will look at them through screened windows and laugh. Hydraulics "It's wonderful," said Uncle Allen Sparks, "to see what can be done with water power these days. I know a man over in the next county, the stingiest man that ever lived, but his wife can get anything she wants from him by doing a little judicious weeping."—Chicago Tribune. Panama Hat School A central school of hat making, and for the cultivation and improvement of tonquilla straw, has been established in the district of Arraijan (Panama). The school is provided for by government funds, and will be under the authority of the minister of public works. As She Understood It.

OUST THE DEMON. A Tussle with Coffee. There is something fairly demonical in the way coffee sometimes wreaks its fiendish malice on those who use it. A lady writing from Calif. says: "My husband and I, both lovers of coffee, suffered for some time from a very annoying form of nervousness, accompanied by most frightful headaches. In my own case there was eventually developed some sort of affection of the nerves leading from the spine to the head. "I was unable to hold my head up straight, the tension of the nerves drew it to one side, causing me the most intense pain. We got no relief from medicine, and were puzzled as to what caused the trouble, till a friend suggested that possibly the coffee we drank had something to do with it, and advised that we quit it and try Postum Coffee. "We followed his advice, and from the day that we began to use Postum we both began to improve, and in a very short time both of us were entirely relieved. The nerves became steady once more, the headache ceased, the muscles in the back of my neck relaxed, my head straightened up, and the dreadful pain that had so punished me while I used the old kind of coffee vanished. "We have never resumed the use of the old coffee, but relish our Postum every day as well as we did the former beverage. And we are delighted to find that we can give it freely to our children, also, something we never dared to do with the old kind of coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum Coffee contains absolutely no drugs of any kind, but relieves the coffee drinker from the old drug poison. SELECTED SCIENCE. Fine gold has been found to be slightly soluble in a strong solution of yellow ammonium sulphide. An experiment with vacuum tubes of several kinds by Herr Hess showed that external friction of the tube, such as rubbing with the free hand, stimulates conductivity within. John Butler Burke, who, through the discovery of radiographs, has suddenly become the most talked of man in the United Kingdom as a man of science, is an Irishman, and was graduated from Trinity college. Radium, like all other things, must be known by what it does. And so far as known, the doings of radium have no parallel in nature. The chemist has seen that it shines by its own light; and this not for a day, a month, a year, but for an illimitable period. New smoke-burning appliances continue to use up a considerable share of the world's inventive energy. The promising idea of a Belgian chemist consists in drawing the smoke out of the chimney by an aspirator, and passing it through a filter of coke saturated with petroleum. The filter collects the soot, while the gases passing through are made combustible by the enriching with petroleum vapor. There is no loss, as the coke of the filter is an excellent fuel.

THE CAPTIVITY OF JUDAH Specially Prepared for This Paper. Zedekiah, B. C., 586. PLACE—Jerusalem. Riblah, who Zedekiah was taken before Nebuchadnezzar, 200 miles north of Jerusalem. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES—Parallel accounts in 2 Kings 24:18-30; 25:1-30; Jer. 39:1-4, and still fuller account in Jer. 52. Zedekiah's cathd to Nebuchadnezzar, 53:59; Ezek. 17:11-21. On the 70-years captivity see Jer. 25:11; 29:10; Lev. 25:1-7; 26:34. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 11. "Zedekiah, reigned 1 years." As viceroy of Nebuchadnezzar, who had stipulated that "he would surely guard the country for him, and neither make any political changes nor favor the Egyptians." V. 12. "Evil in the sight of the Lord:" He failed to be loyal to Jehovah or to support, as it was his privilege to do, the temple worship, and the true prophets. "Humbled not himself before Jeremiah:" While he had frequently sought this prophet's advice, and asked an interest in his prayers (see chapter 37), he had not followed the prophet's advice, nor protected his person. V. 13. "He also rebelled:" When Zedekiah had been on the throne about eight years, he joined the neighboring city, Tyre, and, seeking aid from Egypt, they rebelled against Babylon, refused to pay tribute and prepared themselves to defy its power. V. 14. "Moreover," etc.: The writer is now about to show what disease caused the death of Judah. It was the same of which her sister Israel died (See 2 Kings 17:7-23). "Priests and people transgressed;" It was sad indeed when priests, who should have been the guides in righteousness, became the companions of the people in doing evil. V. 15. "God of their fathers:" Since the time of Abraham, God had been blessing their race and trying to reveal Himself to them. "Sent . . . His messengers:" The name "messenger" commonly, but not always, refers to a prophet. Some of Judah's kings had been messengers for God. He had also sent to this race, Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, and more recently Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. V. 16. "They mocked the messengers:" Nearly every prophet had been maltreated by the people he sought to help. Jeremiah had been mocked by a false prophet, Hananiah (Sec Jer. 28). "Despised his words:" Refused to heed the warning given by the prophets, or to walk in the ways of righteousness which they pointed out. "Misused:" Better in Revised Version, "Scoffed at:" Verbal mockery, not bodily harm, is here alluded to. Bodily harm had, however, been inflicted upon the prophets in many cases, and quite recently Urijah had been slain (Jer. 26:20-23). V. 17. "Therefore:" Because of what has just been stated. "He brought . . . Chaldees:" The Chaldean, or Babylonian, army came to besiege the city. Judah's Jehovah was God of all peoples, and oftimes used one in chastising another. It was a natural punishment, for sin weakens any people, and no nation could live long while practicing such iniquities as were rife in Judah. "Slew . . . no compassion," etc.: The Chaldeans, as warriors, were very cruel. V. 18. "All the vessels . . . God:" The sacred furniture and dishes which had been left after the previous sacking of the temple (2 Chron. 36:10). A list of the vessels now taken is given in 2 Kings 25:13-17. V. 19. "Burnt the house of God." Thus they slowed their defiance of Israel's God. "Brake down the wall:" After many months of beating upon the walls with battering-rams, a place at the northern side gave way, and the Chaldeans entered at midnight. V. 20. "Them that had escaped:" Those who had survived the siege and such as had previously surrendered themselves to the enemy. "Carried . . . Babylon:" King Nebuchadnezzar first held a sort of court at Riblah, some 200 miles north of Jerusalem. Here the leaders in rebellion were picked out and summarily punished. Jeremiah, and probably others, were permitted to return to the city, while the remainder, including the king, were taken to Babyion. V. 21. "To fulfill the word," etc.; See marginal references. Jeremiah had always held out this gleam of hope: After the captivity, return: "Until the land . . . sabbaths;" Read Lev. 25:1:7; 26:34, 35. By that law it was provided that the land should lie idle every seventh year. This law evidently had been disregarded by the people, who were uniformly so careless concerning God's requirements. Now, through being so largely depopulated, the land would enjoy enforced rest for 70 years. Practical Points. V. 11. One may, like Zedekiah, be a king in name, vet a slave at heart. V. 17. God uses even the evil traits in man for working out His purposes of good.—Ps. 76:10. V. 18. Let us lay up our treasures where they can never be stolen.—Matt. 6:20. V. 20. The calamities which sin brings here are but tokens of the eternal separation and woe to be realized hereafter.—Jas. 1:15. An elderly lady entered the office of a West side planing-mill the other morning and said: "Can I get a ple board here, about six feet long and a foot wide?" "Certainly, madam," replied the clerk. "Do you want it dressed?" "No, sir," answered the lady; "I prefer it nude."—Chicago Daily News. Use Our Apparatus. The Osaka Electric Light company, of Osaka, Japan, a city of $80,000 people, is equipped entirely with American electrical apparatus, including six turbines, also made in Schenectady. This company has a paid-up capital of $1,200,000, and is so progressive that it is on a par with some of the best American electric lighting companies. Immense Immigration. The immigration to this country for the fiscal year ending June 30, foots up 1,027,429 people, and exceeds all previous records. It surpasses the flood tide of 1903 by almost 150,000, and means an addition of one-eighth to the population of the country in a single year, in addition to the natural increase by births. Widely Scattered Remains Gambetta's remains are almost as much scattered as if he were the victim of a dynamite explosion. His brain is in the museum of the Anthropological society at Paris, his heart is deposited under the monument at Ville d'Avray, where he died, while the rest of his body is buried at Nice. Rare Distinction John Paul, chief steward of the Jefferson democratic club, in New York, enjoys the rare distinction of being a grandfather and a grandson at the same time. His baby granddaughter has just been born and his grandmother is living at the age of 97. John Paul is 46 years old. New Fruit John Phillippi, a horticulturist of Lodi, Cal., has perfected a new fruit from the peach and the nectarine.

A successful method of treatment for ingrowing toe nails is to scrape away the thickened part of the nail with a small file, keep it well greased, so as to soften it, and insert a pledget of wool beneath the nail so that it may grow properly. To improve castile soap take three parts of white castile soap, two parts of olive oil and two parts of hot water. Shave the soap into the water and work into a paste. Heat the oil, add to the paste, and work the mixture until uniform. Pour into a shallow dish, cover from air and set aside to harden. Nothing is more refreshing after a cold walk or drive than a glass of genuine Russian tea. Its effects are more stimulating than ordinary tea, although the slight nourishment afforded by the cream used is missed in the Russian tea. Make the tea in the usual way, steeping a little longer. Fill thin glasses two-thirds full of cracked ice, add a squeeze of lemon and a thin slice of the same, sugar if desired, and pour in the steaming tea. The ice should be fine enough to cool the tea at once to the proper temperature for drinking. When the digestion is extremely weak and it is difficult to find things to stay on the stomach, try clam broth. This will be found specially acceptable before breakfast, and is so easily prepared that it can be made fresh daily. Procure a dozen clams in the shell, scrub well in cold water to remove every particle of sand, place in a saucepan, cover with boiling water—about a pint—and boil about 15 minutes or until all the clams are opened. Take out the shells, chop the clams fine, skim the broth, return the clams to it, season to taste with a tiny bit of butter or cream, pepper and salt, if necessary, and serve piping hot in a cup of toast or crackers. It may be necessary to strain the clams out entirely for one very ill, but all the properties of the clam with the lime in the shells are preserved in the broth. ABOUT WASHINGTON, D. C. Information Which Would Seem to Be Suggested by a Preju- diced Mind. Washington is the city of magnificent distances. A man without influence is further from getting what he wants in Washington than in any other city, says Puck. Washington is full of statesmen and statues. The amount of horseflesh perpetuated in bronze is very gratifying to the national pride. Washington takes its name from the Mr. Washington so well known to antiquarians. Many believe him to be the subject of the sculpture at the east front of the capitol, which represents a fine gentleman in the act of recovering from the surprise occasioned by his bath-cabinet falling away from him. The architecture of Washington is Grecian and Bulgarian. The public buildings reproduce the stables of Augaeus. Arlington cemetery contains much that is instructive. If the tombs of lieutenants are vastly costlier than the tombs of generals, it shows that the talent for conducting war and the talent for reaping the fruits of war are not the same. Society in Washington rests on the principle that while yet the money holds out to burn the vilest sinner may arrive. No society is complete without its dregs. The dregs of society in Washington are the negroes and the members of congress who live within their salaries. Miasma, the price of lodgings and questions of precedence are continually rising in Washington. Thus, strictly speaking, there is no dull season. Dolly Madison used the east room of the white house to dry her washings in. But the sentiment in favor of the chief magistrate's washings being hung out where the humblest citizen might size them up became too strong to be resisted, and of late years the east room has been devoted to cold storage. The air is chilled by a scheme of decorations which is a monument to American ingenuity. To Extinguish Petroleum Fires. Every day the journals bring to our notice new accidents due to the negligence or imprudence of those having petroleum lamps under their charge. Every well-kept kitchen is provided with a little stock of milk. While water only quickens the flame of petroleum or of gasoline, milk immediately extinguishes it and prevents all danger. This is a process which every mistress of a house ought to post in a prominent place in her kitchen.—Translated from Le Journal du Petroleum. Finnan Haddie. Finnan haddie is a smoked fish that is not half appreciated in this country. It does not keep as well as most preserved fish, but in these days of fast freight steamers it comes to us in as perfect condition as to its Scottish devotees. Finnan haddie is excellent when broiled like salt mackerel, baked in to oven with a little water in the pan, boiled with a butter sauce.

At the early supper of the south, always a most informal meal, the Bishop said he would have nothing but a dish of bonny-clabber, a little nutmeg sprinkled over. “There ain't a bit of nutmeg in the request, exclaimed the maid when the request was repeated to her. “Dear me!” the hostess, sotto voce, “go to Mrs. Darlington next door and ask her to lend me a nutmeg.” Mrs. Darlington also was “out” of nutmeg. "Go to the supply store the first thing in the morning and get nutmegs, and return the nutmeg to Mrs. Harding and—" "But Mrs. Harding was out of nutmegs, too." "Then where did you get any?" "La, miss, I was dat worried out dat I des tuck a wooden handle to a ole shoe hole." And the bishop had relished it. So much for the power of suggestion. HOPED TO BE STIRRING. Admiral Uriu is among the officers of the Japanese navy who began acquiring honors early in the fight with the Russians. A Detroit "boy," who has advanced rapidly in our own navy, relates the Free Press, who is home. "Uriu is now his nautical education at Annapolis. No one was ever a harder student or more conscientious in the performance of the manifold duties imposed upon a cadet. "One day he was ill. The surgeon examined him and made a report that Uriu was not in condition to perform his daily work. But the little fellow had a sense of obligation beyond this, and wrote thus to his favorite instructor: "The soon seen that I do not to-day stand before you. I am inclosed in the room by much sickness. I do not feel like making the stir. To-morrow I hope greatly to find it easy to make the stir." Lesson for Women. Jersey Shore Pa., Aug. 28th (Special)—"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done worlds of good for me." That's what Mrs. C. B. Bearnest of this place has to say of the Great American Kidney Remedy. "I was laid up sick," Mrs. Earnest continues, "and had not been out of bed for fifteen years, but I knew I had Kidney Pills and now I am so I can work and go to town without suffering any. I would not be without Dodd's Kidney Pills. I have good reason to praise them everywhere." Women who suffer should learn a lesson from this, and that lesson is "cure the kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills and your suffering will cease." Women's health depends on her kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet failed to make healthy kidneys. Too Generous "And what did my little darling do in school to-day?" a Chicago mother asked of her young son—a "second-grader."

BABY CAME NEAR DYING "When three months old my boy broke out with an itching, watery rash all over his body, and he would scratch till the blood ran. We tried nearly everything, but he grew worse, wasting to a skeleton, and we feared he would die. He slept only when in our arms. The first application of Cuticura soothed him so that he slept in his crable for the first time in many weeks. You don't know how glad I was. One set of the Cuticura Remedies made a complete and permanent cure. (Signed) Mrs. M. C. Maitland, Jasper, Ontario." Boston Slang Emereonia—Henrietta is getting real slangy. Waldonette — Is that so?

WORKING WOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier-Interesting Statements by a Young Lady in Boston and One in Nashville, Tenn. Miss Frankie Orser Miss Pearl Ackers All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb, leucorrhea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of "monthly periods," causing backache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. Women who stand on their feet all day are more susceptible to these troubles than others. They especially require an invigorating, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism. Miss F. Orser of 14 Warrenton Street, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the unfailing cure for all these troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all its horrors will no more crush you. Backache, dizziness, fainting, bearing down pains, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society—all symptoms of the one cause—will be quickly dispelled, and it will make you strong and well. You can tell the story of your sufferings to a woman, and receive helpful advice free of cost. Address Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Lydia E.

Dip with thy loving cup of giving and thou wilt more abundantly receive—Lucas.

Just Before the Close of the Grand Lodge the Palladium Man Made a Statement. J. W. Wheeler arose and addressed the grand master, and asked to make a few remarks. He said: "Most Worthy Grand Master and Members—Being the oldest member of this order in membership, I wish to say I have at all times been loyal to the Grand Lodge and courteous to the members. I did come to ask that this Grand Lodge make The Palladium the official organ of the order, and I know it is the will and sentiment of this Grand Lodge to indorse The Palladium as such, but after I heard the reading of the board of managers' repot, and heard what they paid "Petticoat" Logan last year I said I could not take it for that paltry sum. I thang this Grand Lodge—but rest assured that I am loyal, and if one man or woman makes a threat at the Grand Lodge or its members, The Palladium stands ready to defend the order with its pen." Our words and actions were highly indorsed by the Grand Lodge. Now let the others have a say as to what was done. J. W. WHELDER Manager of Palladium [Name] See me! See me to-day.
