C., Lectured Last Tuesday Night at Central Baptist Church One of the best lectures that the people of St. Louis have ever had the pleasure of listening to was that of the famous Mary E. Church Terrell, last Tuesday evening. The blessing was invoked by Father Mason, of All Saints' Episcopal church. After a few remarks by Mr. E. E. Thompson, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and several selections by the choir, Rev. Stevens, pastor of Central church, spoke at length and in his usual dignified way introduced the speaker of the hour, Mrs. Terrell. As she arose and came to the front, all held their breath for several seconds, but as she spoke, everyone could readily see that she was mistress of the occasion. She at once captivated her audience and held them almost spell-bound for an hour and twenty minutes. We do not exaggerate when we say that Mrs. Terrell is one of the best lady speakers, and the most natural one, on the rostrum that we have ever seen. Her words flow as evenly as the Father of Waters, the mighty Mississippi flows to the Gulf of Mexico, and her actions and gestures are beyond comment. She suited the word to the action, and the action to the word. Even her expression coincided with her words and gestures. She did not stand like a statue in one place, but moved from one side of the rostrum to the other as a veteran speaker. Her narratives and dates, certain historical events were correct and pointed. Her glowing points that she made in the Japanese-Russian war, also those made in defense of Syrus W. Fields, the progress of the American nation and the high tribute that she paid to the Negro of America brought forth long and continued applause. Mrs. Terrell stands in the lead among the many leading lady speakers of today. ITEMS FROM THE LECTURE. The black boys were not there, but the yellows were out in number. Mrs. W. P. Smith, of 2632 Randolph street, was at the lecture, looking very pleasing. Dr. W. P. T. Jones sat as if to say: "If you are sick, call upon the right man, 2231 Market street.

Mr. Henry Reed, of 2306 Morgan street, was looking as wise as a man can in the absence of his helpmate. Lawyer Vaughn enjoyed the lecture; yet he was looking at the young lady who sat in the seat behind him. Look out, young man. Mrs. Armstrong and her two dashing daughters were very conspicuous. Prof. Inge could not keep his eyes off them. Prof. Agee was looking as sanctimonious as a man without sin. But, ah, old man. The Palladium man knows better. It seems as if no gathering of our people is complete without the presence of Dr. Anderson and Miss Warwick. All hail to the dentist. Mrs. C. W. Preston and her little companion, Miss Daisy Mosely, were very conspicuous and our big brother, W. C. G., was looking that way. Mr. Newsome, the former editor of The Eagle, was one of the ushers. We thought he was looking for Hon. J. D. Miller, so he could find him a special seat. Kirkwood News.

While the banquet was in progress upstairs, the citizens-at-large were expressing their regard for Mr. Cash in a testimonial hop in the large hall at True Reformers' building.

NEW ORLEANS GOES FRANTIC A Rousing Culmination of the President's Southern Trip. THE PROGRAMME SHATTERED The Crowds So Dense and the Enthusiasm So Great That the Public Speaking Had Perforce New Orleans, Oct. 27.—At the end of nine strenuous hours of varied entertainment in New Orleans, which brought his exceptionally pleasant trip through the south to a close, President Roosevelt, at 6:30 o'clock Thursday night, boarded the lighthouse tender Magnolia and began the first stage of his return journey to the national capital. He will transfer to the armored cruiser West Virginia, which lies at anchor off the mouth of the river to receive him, and begin the second stage of the journey. For four days he will be absent from American soil, which has never before happened to a president during his incumbency, but through the means of wireless telegraphy it is promised that he will be seldom out of communication with the shore. A Signal Testimonial. The president's reception in New Orleans was a signal testimonial of popular esteem and of grateful recognition of the service which he has rendered the city in her period of stress. New Orleans remembered not only that the president had acted with characteristic promptness when asked to send federal surgeons to take charge of the fever struggle, but throughout the fight had sustained the people of the stricken city with expressions of an unfailing sympathy, and when a large share of the public opinion of the country opposed his venturing into New Orleans with the fever still prevailing, he refused to consider the element of personal danger, and declared his purpose to keep the promise he made when he accepted the original invitation to come, A Remarkable Demonstration. The densely crowded streets, the elaborate decorations, the wild applause that greeted him along the whole route of the parade and the remarkable demonstration in his honor at the luncheon were outward manifestations of the spirit in which the people welcomed him. Probably for the first time in his public career the president was compelled to abandon a public address before he had got well started on it. It was contemplated that the military and civic parade should pass in review before the president at the city hall, but the crowd which gathered at this points was so tremendous that neither the police nor the troops were able to move it, and the president, foreseeing a possible catastrophe in the event of a panic, finally gave up the attempt to speak and left the platform. Public Address Abandoned. The crowd jammed St. Charles street all the way from Poydras to Ninth streets, and it spread over Lafayette square almost from St. Charles to Camp streets. Probably 50,000 people were gathered in and around the stand from which the president was to have delivered the address. When the president decided to abandon his effort he shouted to the throng to go home and be good citizens and then disappeared into the mayor's parlors, well nigh exhausted. To those about him he expressed himself as immensely pleased with the demonstration in his honor. Francie Banquet Guests. The demonstration at the luncheon was scarcely less exuberant. When the president entered the superb-decorated dining hall the 625 banqueters rose as one men and gave way to frantic cheers. Every thought that he uttered was the signal for an extraordinary exhibition of enthusiasm, and as his speech dealt almost entirely with local subjects and had special reference to the fight against yellow fever, the banquet developed into an increasing ovation. Address From Colored Men. The only opportunity which the colored citizens of New Orleans had to meet the president was while the parade was passing the Iroquois club and the president stopped there to receive an engrossed address expressing the sentiments of the colored population towards him. The president made a short speech in response. After a short rest in his hotel the president held a series of receptions. An immense crowd packed Gravier and St. Charles streets as the dinner ended, and the appearance of the president on his way to the river provoked thunderous applause. As the Magnolia left her landing a presidential salute was fired, amid the indescribable din of the whistles of the factories and river craft mingled with the lusty cheering of the throng of people on the wharf. FRANCIS AS SPECIAL ENVOY St. Louis Exposition President Appointed Commissioner to Convey Nation's Thanks to Foreigners. Washington, Oct. 27.—Announcement is made by the state department that Hon. D. R. Francis, president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co., has been named by President Roosevelt to convey the thanks of the United States government to the various nations that participated in the Louisiana Purchase exposition. A HOT SPRINGS HOLOGAUST Seven Persons Burned to Death in a Fire At the Pacific Hotel. It is Feared There May be Other Remains in the Ruins Which Further Search May Reveal. Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 27.—Six bodies have been taken from the ruins of the Pacific house, a railroad hotel located at Elm and Olive streets, near the railroad tracks, which was damaged by fire at an early hour. Of these, two unidentified, are charred beyond recognition. Mrs. Mack, a musician, and her infant. A. L. Mann, railroad conductor; believed to be from Denver. Two unidentified men. The ruins have not yet been thoroughly searched, and there may be other bodies in them. The hotel is a two-story frame building, containing 30 rooms, all but one of which was occupied, by from one to four persons. The hotel was patronized by invalids. The fire is believed to have been caused by an exploding lamp. There was only one narrow exit, that being a stairway, and dozens were compelled to jump from the second-story, in many instances in their night clothes. One man, Fred Owerson, of Hot Springs, was probably fatally injured. FOUR DEAD, MANY INJURED Head-On Collision On the Rock Island and Road in the Hills Near Fairfield, Iowa. Fairfield, Ia., Oct. 27.—In the hills half a mile south of town, a head-on collision took place between numbers 11 and 12 of the Rock Island's Kansas City passenger service, resulting in the death of four and the injury of 25 or 30 persons. The dead, so far as known, are: Engineer Milkes, of Muscatine. Mail Clerk Canfield, of Murray, Ia. Detective Griffith, of Lucas, Ia. An unknown man. The injured have been taken to Elden, while the dead are at this place. The accident occurred at 3:40 a.m. Both trains had clearing orders, and the accident is believed to have been caused by the mistake of the dispatcher. Both trains were going at a rapid rate when they met in the hills. Both locomotives were demolished, four cars of No. 12 derailed and seven damaged. The damage to No. 11 has not been reported, but all the killed were on this train. THE PRESIDENT'S POSITION As President of the United States He Will Not Make a Bluff That He Can't Make Good. New Orleans, Oct. 27.—The following from the president's banquet speech is worth preserving: "One thing that, as president of this country, I won't do, is to make a bluff that I can't make good. I don't intend, on behalf of the nation, to take any position until I have carefully thought out whether that position will be advantageous to the nation, but if I take it, I am going to keep it. And I am sure that you gentlemen know it has been an utter mistake to think of me as a man desirous of seeing this nation quarrelsome. I have no respect either for the nation or for the individual that brawls. I want to see this nation do as the individual men in the nation, who would respect themselves should do, scrupulously regardful of the rights of others and honestly endeavoring to avoid all cause of difficulty. But I want, on behalf of this nation, the peace that comes, not to the coward who cringes for it, but the peace of the just man, armed, who asks it as a right." DIRECT VIOLATION OF LAW Millions of Dollars' Worth of Real Estate Are So Held by Corporations in Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 27.—The Daily News says: Millions of dollars' worth of real estate property is held by private corporations in Chicago, it is alleged, in direct violation of the law. The bulk of this property, it has been discovered, is in the name of insurance companies or their officials. The Illinois statutes provide that the companies shall offer for sale at public vendue, at least once a year, the property owned by them, or which has come into their possession through foreclosure. This must be done for four years successively, and if, after five years, the corporations still hold the property, the state's attorney shall proceed against them. So far as known, the state's attorney of Cook county never proceeded against any insurance company or other corporations under the statute. Barker, N. Y., Oct. 27.—The private bank of Harvey Hoag was robbed of $3,000, of which $2,800 has been found where the thieves dropped it in their haste to escape. Citizens attacked the robbers, and about 50 shots were exchanged, but no one hurt. Killed Sister In Mother's Presence. Cannelton, Ind., Oct. 27.—Lulu Fishback, aged 11, shot and instantly killed her sister, Maggie, aged 13, blowing off the top of her head with a gun. The deed was committed in the presence of her mother, who is prostrated. Fresh DRUGS Daily 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N. W. Cor. Jefferson and Lawton Aves. Open Day and Night. Both Telephones. R. J.

GOLDEN TEXT.—"Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, salth the Lord."—Zech. 4:6. TIME. The lesson is the fifth of a series of eight visions which came to the prophet in January or February, 519. PLACE. Jerusalem. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES.—Others who have had visions: To Abraham (Gen. 15:1-17); to Jacob (Gen. 28:10-15); to Moses (Gen. 12:2-20); to Isaiah (Isaiah 6:1-8); to Ezekiel (Ezekiel 12:1-14); to Daniel (Dan. 7:1-14); to Amos (Amos 3:1-15); to Paul (Acts 3:3-9); to Cornelius (Acts 10:3-8); to Peter (Acts 10:3-17); to John (Rev. 1:10-20, etc.). Passages on Holy Spirit: Isa. 64:7-13 John 16:7-15; Acts 2:1-1, 16-21; Rom. 8:11-27; 1 Cor. 12:7-13; Gal. 5:16-25. Comment and Suggestive Thought. INTRODUCTORY. — Zechariah (the Lord remembers) was the son of Barachiah and grandson of Iddo, who was one of the heads of the twelve courses of priests (Neh. 12:4, 7), and whose successor Zechariah became (Neh. 12:16). He was therefore a priest as well as a prophet, the head of one of the Davidic courses of priests. He was probably born in Babylon, and went to Jerusalem when quite young, with Zerubbabel and Joshua. He began to prophesy about two months after Hagai began (Zech. 1:1; Ezra. 5:1; 6:14; Hagai, 1:1) in the second year of Darius Hystasples, and continued to prophesy for two years (Zech. 7:1). The circumstances were those described in our last lesson. The people had just been awakened from their lethargy, and begun anew to build the temple, amid the rulers of the old. They were few. Most of them were poor. They were discouraged. Their enemies were persistent and cruel. They were trying to bring the whole power of the empire against these few people and their feeble enterprise. Drought and mildew had ruined their crops. Even God seemed to be against them. The aged Hagai had aroused enthusiasm and the work on the temple had begun. It had been going on but a few weeks when the younger prophet Zechariah came to his aid. His first address was spoken in November, 520, after the second prophecy of Haggal, who followed with two more messages from God. Then Zechariah came again upon the scene, three months after his prophecy, in January, or February, 519, when one memorable night God sent to Zechariah a series of eight visions—living pictures —object lessons—which the prophet rehearsed to the people the next morning. Two years later as the work was progressing he brought another message from the Lord. The Jews, we are told, "prospered through the prophesying" (Ezra 6:14); and in about four years the temple was finished. V.1. "The angel:" who had explained the other visions, just as Dante represents himself as accompanied by the spirits of Virgil and Beatrice. "And waked me:" He had slept after the first series of visions. This was the beginning of a new series, during the same eventful night. V.2. "Behold a candlestick all of gold:" Like the seven-branched candlestick of the tabernacle and the later temple, for holding oil lamps, not candles. "With a bowl upon the top:" For a reservoir of oil to supply the lamps. V. 3. "And two olive trees:" The oil usually burned in the lamps was olive oil, pressed from the fruit of the olive tree. V. 5. The angel wondered that the prophet did not understand these plain symbols. The prophet then asked the angel to explain not only for himself, but to give authority to the message to the people. The candlestick with its branches represented the Jewish nation as the representative of the kingdom of God. Its business was to uphold the light of God before the whole world. The olive oil which fed the lamps represented the Holy Spirit of God. V. 6. "This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel:" The governor "Not by might, nor by power:" Not by armies, nor wealth, nor numbers, nor the material greatness of nations, can the work be done. "But by My spirit:" The source of help is in God. V. 7. "Who art thou, O great mountain?" The difficulties, the opposition of the world power of Persia, the poverty, the ruins, the sins, and indifference of some of the Jews, the hatred of the Samaritans, all rose up before the prophet like a huge range of mountains, proud, overbearing, seemingly invincible. But who are you? Do you think you can stop this work when the Lord sends His spirit to see that it is done? "Thou shalt become a plain:" Be wholly removed. V. 10. "For who hath despised the day of small things?" Small beginnings, a small people, a small kingdom, small wealth. "They . . . shall see the plummet:" The symbol of the architect or head builder. "Those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord:" Referring back to Zech. 3:9. The people should rejoice, because the providence of God, reaching everywhere in the world, is with their leader. Application. When we look at outward things, as did the Jews of that day, we are often discouraged. The imperfections of good men, the evils in government, in business, in society, the decline in church attendance, wars, crimes, ignorance—all seem to show how slowly the kingdom of God is coming. But the power for building the kingdom of God does not lie in such things but in the power of the Spirit of God, the spirit that made the early church, when it was despised as "the day of small things," victorious over the Roman empire with all its might and power.

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 dispuse 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 orilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west.

The Sunner High School Athletic association has completed arrangements for a game of football to be played with the Bartlett high school of St. Joseph, Mo., at Handlan's park, corner Grand and Lacade avenues, Saturday, October 28, at 3 p.m. This is the first appearance of the St. Joseph boys in our city, and it is earnestly hoped that the public will turn out in large numbers to give them a rousing welcome. The Bartlett high school team is said to be unusually strong this year, and has had the advantage of the best of coaching. The Sumner boys have been hard at work at Forest park during the last three weeks, practicing with the Y. M. C. A., with which organization a game will probably be played later in the season. There is a great deal of enthusiasm over the sport at Sumner this year, and the game is becoming more popular than ever. There are two, and in some instances, three, men working for the same position on the team, and the squall at practice is the largest in the history of the school. While the team is somewhat lighter than last year, it is a fast and gritty eleven, and is rounding out in fine form. David R. Francis, one of the popular members of the senior class, was unanimously elected captain. It is an interesting fact that nearly half of the team are members of the senior class. The game is increasing in popularity with the public, as is evidenced by the large crowds which turned out to witness the contest with Kansas City last year, which resulted in a victory for Sumner by the score of 33 to 2. While football is a hard game, requiring stamina and excellent physical condition, the element of danger is small where the players employ only fair tactics and play a clean game, and the discipline and training entailed by the game are wholesome in the highest degree. The management of Sumner is under a large expense in bringing the St. Joseph team here, and solicits the generous patronage of the public. Let's see plenty of maroon and white in evidence, and make the welkin ring with Ow-ski—wow-wow! Skilly—wow-wow! Sumner! Sumner! W-o-w!! Pickett's Headache Powders give instant relief. 2619 Lawton avenue H. E. HOFER, Attorney and Counselor-at-law. Of- CITY NEWS.

Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment After All Else Had Failed. "I was troubled with a severe scalp bruzor and loss of hair that gave me a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience. After unsuccessful efforts with many remedies, so so-called tonics, a friend induced me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The humor was cured in a short time, my hair was restored as healthy as ever, and I can gladly say I have since been entirely free from my further annoyance. I shall always use Cuticura Soap, and I keep the Ointment on hand to use as a dressing for the hair and scalp. (Signed) Fred K Busche, 213 East 57th St., New York City."

The following very interesting conversation between Mr. White, busker, and Mr. Walter Wellman, retired, two prominent citizens of the town, was recently overheard: "I never buy patent medicine," said Mr. White. "When I feel the need of medical assistance I call our physician. I don't believe in taking a lot of stuff that I know nothing about. I know, however, that a great deal to use it, and apparently with good results, I am for am getting a doctor every time." "Your circumstances render this possible," replied Mr. Wellman, "but the majority of people must consider the expense. My experience is that some patent medicines frequently cure when the doctor's skill is adequate. I have seen people say like constipation and stomach trouble. Did you ever hear of your family physician during a case like that? If constipated, he gives you a physic; but a physic cannot cure constipation, and he will tell you so. It is a temporary relief and before long you need more physic or pills. The doctor charges you $2 every time you call on him and you have to pay $5c to $7c to have his prescriptions filled. You have to pay $2 for "Physic" habit and your doctor has a steady customer. You cannot read the doctor's prescriptions. You know no more about what he gives you than you do about the ingredients of a patent medicine. No reliable company will put a lot of money into patent medicine unless they are convinced that it is the prescription of some specialist who has devoted his life to the study of certain disease and has mastered it. I mention constipation and stomach trouble because I suffered from that affliction for years. It is the beginning of nearly all disease. Once it gets a grip on you, it is serious, stubborn and hard to overcome. I never knew a case that was cured by an ordinary practicing physician, but I do know that it was hard to cure that we permanently cured by a remedied叫Mull's Grape Tonic. I have used it in my family with satisfactory results. It cured me, and I know a great many more persons it has cured. It costs 50 cents for a small or $1.00 for a large bottle. I don't know exactly all that is in it, but I do know it cures constipation and stomach trouble, and that is more than my family doctor could do for me. I know that the company's offer to give the first bottle free to any one who would write to them giving their drugstress' name. I am thankful for the benefit it has given and advise every sufferer from constipation to write to the Mull's Grape Tonic Co., 147 4th Ave. Rock Island, Ill., giving them their drugstress' address, so that they can procure a bottle free of expense."

VISIT TO FORT LOGAN H. ROOT The People of Arkansas Were Not Outdone By Any Others In Their Demonstrations of Welcome—Unique Guard of Honor. Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 26.—President Roosevelt spent seven crowded hours in and around Little Rock, Wednesday, and his journey from Fort Logan H. Root, on Big Rock, on the north side of the Arkansas river, to the city park in Little Rock, was marked by enthusiastic demonstrations of welcome on the part of the thousands of people appearing on the streets for the occasion Gov. Jefferson Davis was the first to greet the president when the latter left the train at the foot of Big Rock. A reception committee, which included United States Senators J. H. Berry and James P. Clarke, Mayor W. E. Lenon and President George W. Rogers of the Little Rock board of trade and 20 other prominent citizens, united with the governor in welcoming the chief executive and his party. Carriages were then taken, and within 15 minutes Fort Logan H. Root, on the summit of the Big Rock, overlooking the city of Little Rock, was reached. Here a salute of 21 guns was fired, and the president, after inspecting the buildings and grounds, and the garrison, Companies E and F, Thirtieth United States infantry, spent half an hour in the officers' quarters as the guest of Lieut-Col. A. C. Sharpe, commandant, and the other officers of the post. An impressive incident followed the exit from the officer's quarters. The guard of honor, composed of 12 union army veterans, headed by Col. A. S. Fowler, and 12 former confederates, headed by former Gov., Daniel W. Jones had met the presidential party and accompanied it to the army post. They rode in pairs, each former confederate by the side of a federal army veteran. As the president was being escorted to his carriage for the journey from Ft. Logan H. Root to the city, he left those accompanying him and walked to where the guard of honor stood. Each of the soldiers was given a handclasp and a verbal greeting by the president, who had remarked on approaching the group, "Gentlemen, it does me good to see the blue and the gray riding together." He called each veteran "comrade." As the presidential party reached the river bridge, the tooting of mill whistles was the signal for cheering on the Little Rock side. The city's principal thoroughfare, Main street, was picturesque with its decorations of flags and bunting, and the great outpouring of people was evidence that the cloudiness and cool weather could not interfere with the warm popular welcome. From all parts of Arkansas people had come to greet the president. As the party entered the city park under an arch bearing the inscription, "Little Rock Greets You," 12 white doves were liberated from the apex of the arch, directly over the president's carriage. This feature caused cheering, and the president smiled his approval. The exercises at the city park operated promptly at 11:30 a. m. Gov. Davis delivered an address of welcome, in which he drew a word picture of the resources of Arkansas, touched lightly upon the race question, and assured the president the people of Arkansas were glad he had come among them. The governor's tribute to southern women was applauded by the president. When reference was made by Gov. Davis to the famous "rebel yell," the proceedings were interrupted by a manifest desire on the part of many in the crowd to give a semblance of this yell. United States District Judge Jacob Trieber followed in an address of welcome on behalf of the city of Little Rock. He declared that the people of this state, regardless of political opinions' were proud to honor President Roosevelt. The president's opening words, "Fellow Americans," produced a renewal of the demonstration of welcome occurring as he was presented. His utterances were followed closely by the large audience, and at intervals he had to desist while his hearers gave vent to their approbation of his remarks. The president's declaration that "If a president is worth his salt, he is the president of the whole country," was given so earnestly that it drew forth plaudits from the assembled thousands. The exercises in the city park were brought to a close at 12:30 p. m., and the presidential party was then escorted through streets densely packed with cheering men, women and children to the Albert Pike consistency, where luncheon was given. THE SCAFFOLD GAVE WAY Two Workmen Fall From a Twenty- Foot Scaffold and Land In a Sixty-Foot Well. St. Louis, Oct. 28.—Henry Starkey, aged 40, and John Waggoner, 38, em- ployees of the Equitable Powder works, at East Alton, fell from a scaffold 20 feet and then into a well 60 feet. They were standing directly over the well when the scaffold gave way. They men are in a hospital, and are said to be dying. Happenings in Missouri. Took a Rap at Automobiles. In an ordinance passed by the city council of Chillicothe and approved by the mayor, automobilists are required when so requested to give the right-of-way to vehicles drawn by horses "or other animals." Drivers of automobiles are also required to stop their machines when they meet vehicles drawn by animals to give the latter sufficient time to pass. A license fee of $10 a year is fixed. Reduced Rates for Dairy Meeting. The secretary of Missouri State Dairy Association has been advised that his application for reduced rates for the Sixteenth annual meeting of the association at Jefferson City November 15-17 has been approved—that is, a rate of one and one-third fare for the round-trip on the certificate plan will be made by all railroads in the state from all points where the one-way fare exceeds 50 cents. Missourians Invest in Mexico. A syndicate of St. Louis capitalists, has made application to the Mexican government for a concession to establish in Mexico a factory for making all kinds of locomotive boilers, steam engines and automobiles. The petition states that the company is willing to invest $1,000,000 near the city of Mexico or in one of the states bordering upon the federal district. To Mandamus Board of Trade Attorney General Herbert S. Hadley has filed in the supreme court at Jefferson City, a mandamus suit against the Kansas City board of trade to compel the board to recognize the state grain weighmaster inspectors. For some time the board of trade has refused to submit to state weighing and inspection of grain, having appointed officers of its own for that purpose. To Stop "Auto" Scorching. The St. Louis, county court authorized Sheriff Harpel to swear in four extra deputies for 30 days to patrol the principal thoroughfares with shotguns and watches for the purpose of stopping automobile "scorching" in the county. The action was taken on the advice of the prosecuting attorney who said that, in his opinion, an emergency existed. Fire in Governor's Rome. The governor's mansion in Jefferson City has been damaged to the extent of $15,000 by fire. Gov. Folk, his wife and guests were forced to seek quarters at a nearby hotel. The fire caught from the fireplace in the main reception room and had burned through the ceiling into the second story when the smoke awoke the occupants. Harronn Is Forced to Trinl. After a delay of a year, on motions for continuance and change of venue, William H. Harroun, of St. Joseph, charged with forging Burlington bills of lading for $1,000,000, was forced to trial in the criminal court. He was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison. Marshall Has 100 Converts. A three weeks' meeting at the First Baptist church at Marshall, conducted by the Rev. H. A. Hunt and the pastor, Otto S. Russell, assisted by the Rev Byron Bibb and Mrs. Hunt, singers closed with eighty-one additions to the church and nearly one hundred conversions. To Escape Mormon Control. Fear of Mormon domination has led to a movement for the annexation of Independence to Kansas City. Of the 10,000 people in the town, shown by the last census, it is estimated that not fewer than 2,000 are of the Mormon faith. Their numbers are increasing rapidly. Crane Sentenced to Hang John M. Crane who killed his wife July 5 at Kansas City has been declared guilty of murder in the first degree and will be sentenced to be hanged unless the supreme court reverses the judgment and grants him a new trial. The only defense made was insanity. On a Hunting Trip at 87. Larkin M. Webb of Blue Srings has gone to Oklahoma on a hunting trip. Although Mr. Webb is 87 years old he is still fond of hunting. He was one of the first men in Eastern Jackson county to take out a hunter's license as required by the new law. A Bigamist Gets Three Years. A jury in the circuit court at Nevada returned a verdict against A. C. Faith, who was charged with bigamy. Faith was found guilty and was given three and one-half years in the penitentiary. Both wives were present as witnesses. Bailey's Sentence Commuted. The death penalty of Edgar Bailey, who was to have been hanged in Kansas City, was commuted by Gov. Folk to ninety-nine years in the penitentiary. Killing of Brother-in-Law Justified. John Gaines shot and killed his brother-in-law, Millard Harvey, at White Rock, in front of Harvey's home. Gaines gave himself up to the sheriff, but the coroner's jury justified the killing and he was released. Burglars at Thayer. Last night burglars entered the jewelry establishment of W. C. Davis, of Thayer, by smashing the plate glass in the front door. It is known that 15 watches together with numerous small articles were taken. Can Not Regulate Dramshops. Judge Howard Gray rendered a decision at Joplin in which he declared that the state of Missouri does not grant authority to cities to regulate the dramshops. The case in question was that of the city of Joplin against Louie Jacobs, charged with conducting a wine room. Judge Gray sustained a motion to quash, holding that the only powers delegated to municipalities by Missouri statutes were to fix license fees, prevent illegal sale of liquor and prevent sale of liquors to minors. There is a statute granting authority to cities to regular "tippling houses," but Judge Gray holds that there is a wide difference between a dram shop and tippling house. The case will be taken to the supreme court. Agricultural Institute. In connection with the farmers' institute called for De Soto by the state agricultural board, the Jefferson county agricultural and mechanical association gave an exhibit of farm products, horses, mules, sheep and poultry. The programme and premiums were only announced a week in advance, yet as creditable an exhibit was as ever offered at county fairs was made by the farmers of Jefferson county. The county court had offered premiums, to which were added special prizes by the merchants of De Soto. Was Dead in His Buggy. Bert Joiner a Grundy county farmer, was found dead in his buggy three miles north of Trenton. The buggy was on fire and all the clothing had been burned off the dead man. Foul play is suspected although no visible marks appear on the body. Joiner's revolver lay in the buggy with one cartridge exploded. The horse with the corpse in the burning buggy was slowly passing a farm house when discovered. Delay in Oil Investigation. The further hearing of the quo warranto proceedings instituted by Attorney General Hadley against the Standard Republic and the Waters-Pierce Oil companies has been continued until November 14. Attorney General Hadley stated he could not proceed further in the inquiry into oil company methods until the question of the production of books in court was decided by the supreme court on October 31 Well Bred Corn Pays. J. L. Terrell of Callaio township, who won the $50 cash prize on corn at the agricultural fair at Macon, was laughed at four years ago when he began the practice of breeding corn. Mr. Terrell said it was as necessary to breed corn to get good results as it was live stock. For four years he has been breeding his corn and results are shown by his getting the prize over a hundred other contestants. A Butter Concern Quits. The Apex Butter company, a manufacturing concern which was recently established at Springfield has closed its plant and quit business. The Beatrice company of Lincoln with plants in St. Louis, Kansas City, Topeka, Oklahoma City and other places, and known among farmers as the trust, made a bitter fight on the local company. The plan was to outbid the Apex company on butter fat. Celebrated Coal Discovery. In celebration of the discovery one mile west of Chilhowee, of a three-foot vein of coal the residents of the town gave a banquet which was attended by several visiting capitalists. The visitors also were taken through the mine. The discovery opens an entirely new field whose growth, it is believed, will be rapid, as this place is only 60 miles from the Kansas City market. Floods in Missouri. Heavy rain storms approaching cloudbursts, deluged the country north east and south of Sedalia, sending rivers out of their banks flooding the lowlands, sweeping away bridges, tearing out culverts and destroying tens of thousands of dollar's worth of railway, public and private property throughout central Missouri. Baffley's Sentence Commuted. Edgar G. Bailey, the union hack driver convicted of murdering Albert Ferguson, will not be hanged at Kansas City, Gov. Folk having commuted his sentence of death to one of imprisonment for life in the state penitentiary in Jefferson City. Was Ex-Minister to Siam. Colonel Jacob Tripler Child, who died at Richmond, was minister to Siam in President Cleveland's first administration and consul to Hankow, China, from 1892 to 1896. He was a pioneer Live Stock Healthy. The health of Missouri live stock is good, according to reports of Missouri veterinarians who attended the annual convention of their association at Kansas City. Martin Paulsgrove to Hang. Judge A. D. Burnes of the circuit court at Mavsville, passed the sentence of death upon Martin Paulsgrove, who was tried for the murder of Miss Mary Newman, in Andrew county January 18. The hanging is to be December 1. A Beef's Hide Caused a Death. Samuel Gaines shot Edward Harvey in the face with a shotgun at Miami station, west of DeWitt. Harvey died in a few hours.

THE CHANGE OF LIFE INTELLIGENTWOMEN PREPARE Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period Avoided by the Use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many wo How many women realize that the most critical period in a woman's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near is not without reason? If her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dizziness, headache, dread of impending evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquidude are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the world's greatest remedy for women at this trying period, and may be relied upon to overcome all distressing symptoms and carry them safely through to a healthy and happy old age. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can. Mrs A. E. G. Hyland, of Chestertown, Md., in a letter to Mrs. Pinkham, says: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I had been suffering with falling of the womb for years and was passing through the change of life. My womb was badly swollen. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy spells, headaches, and was very nervous. I wrote you for advice and commenced treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed, and I am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms left me, and I have passed safely through the change of life a well woman." For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. It is free and always helpful.

Literary Treasure Perhaps the most important literary find in years was made in February last, when a copy of "Titus Andronicus," bearing the date 1594, was discovered in a Swedish cottage. This was a very important discovery, not only because of the rarity of the edition, but because it proves conclusively the Shakespearean authorship and brings to an end the controversy which has long been carried on between various critics as to the genuineness of that tragedy. Inferior Leather. Cheap leather, it is pointed out, is now weighted with glucose and barium, being thus made to pass the weight test of first quality material. But it absorbs moisture freely, and a shoe made from it is never really dry. Even in the driest weather, the perspiration of the feet makes such footwear dangerous, and soon rots the inner sole. On a Gravestone. In the churchyard of Woolwich, Kent, England, is the epitaph: "Sacred to the memory of Maj. James Brush, royal artillery, who was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol by his orderly, 14th April, 1831. Well done, good and faithful servant." She Broke the Rule. Justin McCarthy was showing a young American married woman through the library of the house of commons and commented on the fact that it was against the rules for a woman to sit down in the place. She immediately drew a chair up to a table and sat down. Poorly Armed At the review of 40,000 Scottish volunteers at Edinburgh by King Edward the other day, the artillery went by with muzzle loading guns dating from the year 1860. The men were all right, but their weapons were about as useful for modern warfare as catapults would be. Sisters Dressed Alike. It is an easy matter to pick out sisters in a group of children on the continent, for girls of the same family are dressed just alike. In the Breton provinces, where the gala dress is quaint, the effect is fantastic on fete days. Progress in Japan.

De Soto looked for the secret of youth in a spring of gushing, lifegiving waters, which he was sure he would find in the New World. Alchemists and sages (thousands of them), have spent their lives in quest for it, but it is only found by those happy people who can digest and assimilate the right food which keeps the physical body perfect that peace and comfort are the sure results. A remarkable man of 94 says: "For many long years I suffered more or less with chronic costiveness and painful indigestion. This condition made life a great burden to me, as you may well imagine. "Two years ago I began to use Grape-Nuts as food, and am thankful that I did. It has been a blessing to me in every way. I first noticed that it had restored my digestion. This was a great gain but was nothing to compare in importance with the fact that in a short time my bowels were restored to free and normal action. "The cure seemed to be complete, for two years I have had none of the old trouble. I use the Grape-Nuts food every morning for breakfast and frequently eat nothing else. The use has made me comfortable and happy, and although I will be 94 years old next fall. I have become strong and supple again, erect in figure and can walk with anybody and enjoy it."

For small articles, sachets, etc., you can reduce the scale of the design and do it quite small with excellent effect. An entire sachet can be covered with this design repeated in lines with small flowers in the empty spaces within the frames and between them as well. This Italian embroidery can be done in silk as well as cotton and if you use Roman or other satin for the foundation it is of course necessary to use silk for embroidering with. On serge tapestry, or crewel, worsted can be used; but if that is done the flowers should be worked in silk, so as to lighten it a little. Any amount of variety can be had in using this simple design. In covering a large surface with these squares you can arrange them in rows point to point with spaces necessarily left between, or you can rule the spaces with bars just the same as the first row, and thus get a variety. It would be a good idea in a long piece of work to make each framework in a different color. Cushion-covers, bedspreads, couvre-plés, table-covers, etc., can all be done in this embroidery. Embroidery, which can be worked in sections, to be ultimately joined together, is very convenient, as it can be easily carried about, and taken up at any moment. In traveling, or at the seaside, a small piece of work is often very acceptable to do out of doors or on a rainy day. This embroidery lends itself very well to being done in sections, which can then be applied to any material you please. The worked section should be pressed carefully on a cloth with blanket underneath, before being applied. For application tack them into their proper position, slip-stitch them securely to the article, and then couch down a double line of gold or if the work be done in silk, or stout Perl-lusta cotton if the latter cottons have been used in the work. Another way of using the idea of this embroidery would be to work it on quite a large scale as a cushion cover, making corners of the same linen or satin as the foundation. Wide bars might be embroidered quite a third of an inch wide, with stout lustre. This would be very quick work indeed and be extremely effective. In working, use always a needle the eye of which carries the thread easily. Never Be in Too Much of a Hurry or Too Preoccupied to Observe Politeness. Gruffness locks doors; courtesy is an open seasame at which bolts fly back and doors swing open. It is not what a woman says or does as the way in which the thing is said or done. A young woman going hurriedly around the corner collided with a little newsboy. His papers went flying in all directions, and he lay motionless for an instant. She lifted him up gently, and when he opened his eyes she gathered him to herself like a mother and said: "Does it hurt you much? I am so sorry." The little fellow replied: "No, it don't hurt when you look at me like that. If you don't mind, you can knock me down again." Men appreciate a favor gracefully refused more gratefully than one granted clumsy. All your book-learning will never advance you, but your address, your air, your manner, if good, may. A little gentle rubbing on all parts of the face where wrinkles occur should be practiced daily. This prevents formation of the lines and wrinkles that age the face and spoil its beauty, and also decreases them where they are already visible. The fingers, moistened with some lubricant to facilitate friction and prevent irritating the skin, should first stroke gently, then rub each with a soft and gentle pressure in the opposite direction of that of the lines. For those on the forehead the movement should be an upward curve towards temples with a firm but gentle pressure; at the corners of the eyes the touch must be delicate, as there is little fat there, and on the eyelids and below the eyes the slightest and gentlest stroking only must be employed. The silk stock with adjustable pique turnover and tab drawn down through a slit strap in the front of the silk stock is a very popular new model, as is the stock of linen whose tie fastens with tiny pearl buttons on each side of the front and then ties once, the outer end being fastened down to the under end by another little pearl button. AN ITALIAN EMBROIDERY. Full Directions for Doing This Very Pretty But at Same Time Simple Needlework. This embroidery, which hails from Italy, is very easy, effective, and applicable to all kinds of articles. It can be done on serge, Roman satin, art linen, or brown holland. As will be seen by our illustration, the idea is that of repeated squares placed on end, with a central space in which some A SECTION READY TRACED FOR WORKING. flowers are embroidered. Between this central space and the outer line are bars worked closely in satin stitch, done in various shades of one color. The example before us is worked on brown linen, the little flowers in the worked example being embroidered thus: The stems are in outline stitch, the leaves in slanting stitch, the flower in straight across satin stitch with a French knot in the middle. All this embroidery of the flowers and leaves is done in the twisted embroidery Perl-lusta cotton, the framework in abrs in the stout quality. All the leaves and stems are green, two or three shades being used, though never more than one in any one leaf or flower, the latter being light yellow with a darker French knot in the center. The framework is done in five shades of stout blue Perl-lust cotton. The number of bars permits of four rows of each shade, beginning from the lightest at the top. All the shades are used consecutively, and as I have said in four bars of each, excepting the darkest shade, there being only space for three bars in that one. The sides of the inverted square are five inches, the framework being one inch and a half at its widest part. The inner space is three inches square. The bars are half 4 inch wide. If you use finer cotton they can be ruled a little narrower. Care must be taken in working to have the outer and inner edge quite clear, with no projecting stitches. In fig. 2 you see how the first or topmost row is embroidered. Work your stitches side by side in a perpendicular direction, making them so close to FIGS. 2 AND 4 gather that no trace of the material is seen between them. Work from the top, downwards, and not vice versa in fig. 3 you see how the next and succeeding rows are done. Work if possible into the very same holes through which the threads for the upper row came out. Do not leave a line between the rows, and if you find it tiresome always to put your needle in where the other row came out, do it as near as you can. There is no line of stitching put between the rows, and if the foundation is seen it is very ugly. Outline stitch used for the stems is seen in fig. 4. This is sometimes called stem, and at others Kensington stitch. Begin at the bottom and work upwards, taking up only a little of the material on your needle, and making your stitches opposite each other. In fig. 5 the straight satin stitches seen are used for the leaves. Work OTHER STITCHES DESCRIBED. straight across and let, your edges be quite clear and even. In fig. 6 the slanting satin stitch for leaves is seen. The French knot seen in the center of the flower is not illustrated, as it is so well known. Bring your needle out where the knot is to be, twist your thread round it two or three times, and, holding the twists down with your left-hand thumb, draw the needle through and then put the needle in again to the same place from whence it first came out. A line of gold cord is sewn down all round the outer and inner edge. Thread the end of the gold cord into a large-eyed chenille needle with sharp point, and push through to the wrong side.

The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or official names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—"Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

A Kansas city druggist tells that a wealthy man came into his store one Sunday morning, and, throwing a dime on the showcase, said: "Give me two nickels for that, please?"

Professor of Geology Was Not in the Habit of "Reading Up" When He Read. The professor had been summoned as an expert witness in a case involving the ownership of a tract of coal land, relates the Chicago Tribune. "I will ask you, professor," said the attorney for the prosecution, "if the geological formation of this land corresponds with the published data pertaining thereto?" "It does, sir," he answered. "You have thoroughly read up the geology of the tract in question?" "I have not." "You have not?" "No, sir." "I am the jury to notice that the witness flatly contradicts himself. Now, sir, if you haven't read up the geology involved in this case, why do you pretend to know anything at all about it?" "Because, sir," said the professor, "in variable custom to read down." "Silence in the courtroom!" thundered the judge. Western Life Indemnity Company.

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Really Cure Indigestion Instead of Merely Relieving Symptoms. There are plenty of remedies by which you can relieve for the time heartburn, pain and gas on the stomach and can smother nervous sensations and induce artificial sleep. You can humor your stomach by giving it predigested food. But when you take your next meal all your trouble begins afresh. There is only one sensible thing to do. Strengthen the stomach and do away with the necessity for drugs and artificial foods. The best remedy ever found for this purpose is the one that was used by E. E. Strong, of Capleville, Shelby county, Tenn. "For years," he states, "I suffered greatly from indigestion. I tried many different remedies and some of them would relieve me for a time, but the trouble always came back. About six months ago I had an unusually severe attack, and while I tried everything I had ever heard of, I found that none of the ordinary remedies would reach the difficulty this time. "One day I read in a Memphis paper how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured Michigan woman, a sufferer from chronic dyspepsia of a most stubborn type. I then tried the same remedy and it proved just as successful in my case. I took only three boxes, and was cured. I have not had the slightest symptoms of indigestion since." The tonic treatment has a sound principle as its basis, and abundant success in actual use. Multitudes of cases that had defied all other remedies have been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The pills actually make new blood and strike at the root of all diseases caused by bad blood. They contain no harmful stimulants or opiates. Every dyspeptic should read, "What to Eat and How to Eat."
