ST LOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XXII. No. 7. J. W. WHEELEY WHEELER WAS J. W. WHEELER WAS MARKED [Image of a man in a dark suit with a white shirt and bow tie, holding a walking stick.] Editor J. W. WHEELER Ex-Detective Andrew Gordon, recently dismissed from the police department, was before the grand jury Thursday to swear, it is said, that he had been ordered by a high official of the police department to kill Oliver J. Beck, a republican judge of election, and JOHN W. WHEFLER, a negro editor. He says he can get witnesses to corroborate his statement. Gordon visited the four courts Wednesday to consult Circuit Attorney A. N. Sager. Falling to see the circuit attorney, he went home. He was sent for Wednesday night, but refused to leave his home after dark, saying THE DUMAS ROLL Knights of Pythias H S ROLLER SKAT Pythias Hall, 3137 P THE DUMAS ROLLER SKATING RINK Knights of Pythias Hall, 3137 Pine Street. 1 A.

It is understood that he is anxious to become a Pullman porter. Gordon would not state what particular person was "knocking" him, but said he would "find out about it." Chief Kiely and Chief Desmond said that they knew nothing of any "knocking" to prevent Gordon from securing a position. OLLER SKATING RINK as Hall, 3137 Pine Street.

Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. Mrs. Mary Benard, manager of New Port, has been in ill health for the past few days. L'Ouverture school, 2812 Papin street, will be open for work Monday morning, January 29. Mrs. P. H. Harris, of 5719 Prescott avenue, is quite ill, and has been for several days. We intended to give a full account of Wilkerson and the kissing case, but forbear to do so until after the trial. Mrs. Anna Cannon, of 1420 Poplar street, is now visiting her relatives in Pacific, Mo. She will return to the city about the 27th. The Southern Railway is the shortest line from St. Louis to Louisville and Lexington, Ky. C. C. McCullough, city passenger and ticket agent, 719 Olive street. Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton, formerly of 2226 Walnut street, have removed to their own home, 755 Walton avenue. Mrs. Pendleton presented her husband with a fine son about two weeks ago. Mr. Paul Fountain, of 604 Holly, continues very ill. He is affected in such a manner that he is obliged to sit up all the time. His mother, sister and brother are much concerned about him. A parlor social for the benefit of Provident hospital will be given on Wednesday, January 31, 1906, 8 to 11 p. m., in the parlors of the K. of P. hall, 3137 Pine street, under the auspices of the Young Ladies' Aid. Come, and bring ten of your friends. Silver offering at the door. Mabel A. Wheeler, president. Georgette F. Gibson, secretary. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Brown, of 4752 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., have just returned from a visit to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brown, of Nashville, Tenn. Many receptions were tendered them, and many new friends did they make during their visit. It was Mr. Brown's first visit home since his marriage. Therefore, to all his friends he was still a groom. Mr. Charles A. Pitman, who has been in the internal revenue department for a number of years, is a young man who thoroughly understands his business, and is truly a representative Negro of St. Louis, whom we all respect and honor. No better man could be selected, and we trust in the change in that office that Mr. Pitman will be retained, as he is truly a representative of our race. At the Tabernacle Baptist church the Baptist Alliance met, and after their meeting the sisters of said church set a splendid dinner for the members of the alliance, for which the ministers thanked them very kindly for their hospitality in quenching a hungry man's appetite. There were a number of new ministers present, because there was something to eat which was free, after which they all left to meet at St. Paul's chapel, Twenty-eighth and Lawton avenue. Simmon's School—Rev. R. H. Cole's school—was out in full at the Douglass hall January 25. The children acquitted themselves as usual. Many of the teachers were out looking after the interest of their pupils. After the concert the little ones enjoyed themselves, and Rev. Cole was on the alert, as was Mr. J. W. Hutt. We notice Mrs. R. H. Cole, with her queenly bearing, assisting her husband in all that she could. Mr. Wm. Henderson. Mr. Wm. Henderson, who was made a member of St. Joseph Council, A. U. K. and D. A., a few days ago, for some cause or other broke the laws and they came near throwing him out the window. Was at the whist party the other night and tried his best to play whist, but utterly failed. He has been traveling on his shape, but I am afraid he will lose it if he doesn't get higher on all things. If you want the people to know that you are in business send your ad to the Palladium. Stop that Cough Pickett's Cough Syrup. GEO. BUERHMAN An Example of Man's Ingratitude. Just one year ago the Palladium asserted that Geo. Buerhman was going to prove the undoing of Collector Westhus, and the truth of our assertion has been recently realized. Possibly no broader, bigger hearted man than Mr. Westhus has ever held office in St. Louis. He isn't a politician and doesn't claim to be. He is, however, a clean, honorable citizen and business man, who is a credit to any community, and his removal from office will not militate against him in the hearts of the citizens of St. Louis. It was a serious mistake which Mr. Westhus made when he brought the shallow, impulsive Buerhman from the obscurity of the rural districts and made him chief clerk of the revenue office. Had Mr. Westhus not made this mistake Buerhman might now be out in St. Louis county following his trade as a truck farmer, and quietly devouring hassenfeffer and sauerkraut with no dream of a political boss. No sooner had Buerhman warmed his seat in the revenue office than he became persuaded of his ability as a boss and patronage dispenser, being a cousin of Congressman Bartholdt, and representing himself as the confidential agent of the Congressman he succeeded in jollying several office holders into permitting him to dictate appointments. For awhile it was a known fact that if a man wanted a Federal appointment in local offices he was compelled to carry Buerhman's O. K. Politically speaking, Buerhman is as ignorant as a Missouri jackass, and just why he should have ever been appointed to a position in the revenue service no one seems able to explain, save for the fact that he is the cousin of a Congressman. Were the matter of Mr. Westhus' appointment put to a popular test, it is an undoubted fact that he would easily poll four-fifths of the general vote in St. Louis. No one has as yet dared to speak against him personally, save the measly Buerhman. It is to be hoped that Collector Allen will not make the mistake which Mr. Westmus has just experienced by retaining Buerhman in his office. "MAGNUM OPUS-- NAGNUM BONUM." [Name] WM.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS THE ONLY PEBBLE ON THE BEACH. Mr. Jesse J. Johnson, who is the most popular instructor at the Orpheus Dancing Academy, is the real stuff here of late. He must undoubtedly have money. He gave a certain young lady a diamond ring for Xmas valued at $30, and he had the same young lady at the Odeon Monday night to see Black Patti. The reserved seats were not good enough for him, so he had to have the front box. Of course, he certainly is a mystery here of late, riding in carriages, automobiles and visiting the Newport two or three, times a week. The girls are all crazy about him. I wish I was a girl and had a chance. Don't miss the Attucks' School Concert. Don't fail to hear the silver cornet burlesque band.

The grand rally at St. Paul takes place next Sunday, at which time Dr. Cook and his members expect to raise $1,500 on the main debt. Special music by the choir. The ministers meet at St. Paul's chapel, and much good seems to be accomplished. Rev. Gillum spoke at some length, giving much wholesome instruction. His remarks were discussed by many of the reverend gentlemen—namely, Rev. McCracken Christion, of Illinois; Rev. Duke, of the Indian namely: Rev. McCracken, Christian, Duke, Rev. Venable, W. D. Cook and many others. These gentlemen entered into the discussion, and all of them brought out much food for the mind. With the Baptists, Presbyterians and Methodists, we predict that much good can be accomplished in waging war against the Devil and his hosts. The editor of the Eagle was not there to doubt the veracity of the ministers of St. Louis. WHIST PARTY AT DOUGLASS HALL, JANUARY 23. We noticed many curious things as well as many interesting ones. We patiently awaited developmets. The doctors of the city and suburbs were all present. Dr. Arthur of Lovejoy, seemingly tried to be contented, but there seemed to be something on his mind. Doctors Fields and Curtis were trying to make it appear that all was well. Doctors McDowell and Scott were seemingly much dejected. The invisible mantle-covered somebody, and yet they were not happy. Dr. Jackson and the other lady were on deck. Dr. Stafford played as best he could. Well, you know the rest. We are sorry indeed that Dr. Cook, pastor of St. Paul chapel; Dr. Gillium. Dr. Cole and Dr. Stevens were not there in their invisible robes. Yet the good sisters must not fear, as The Palladium man will not tell all.

FROM EXPOSURE AND EXHAUSTION NINE VALENCIA SURVIVORS IN DEPLORABLE STATE. THEY ARE UNABLE TO STAND Are At the Telegraph Hut At Dar- ling River, Where They Must Remain Until Success Renches Victoria, B. C., Jan. 26.—The nine survivors of the Valencia, who are at Darling River, telegraph hut, are reported at Baumfield to be in a deplorable condition, so overcome by exposure and exhaustion that they are unable to stand, much less to make their way along the trail to the nearest place of shelter. One has a sprained ankle, the others are without boots and exhausted, several with their feet raw and bleeding from walking to Darling River over the rocks. Messrs. Logan and Daykin, the former a lineman and the latter a son of the lightkeeper at Carmanah, report having reached the scene of the wreck from Cloo-Ose, and say they have found the bodies of a woman and a child, neither identified. Saw Three Men On Shore. Victoria, B. C., Jan. 26.—The whaling steamer Orion arrived at Bamfield creek station from the scene of the wreck, and reported as having seen three men on shore, where they had a fire lighted, about a mile and a half west of the wreck, and it was thought these men were survivors as yet unaccounted for. The Valencia lay submerged, with only a portion of a mast sticking out of the water. RESCUED FROM A LIFE RAFT. Twenty of the Valencia's People Picked Up By the City of Topeka. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 26.—Twenty men, unconscious and half dead from exposure, were rescued from a life raft at one o'clock Wednesday afternoon by the steamer City of Topeka six miles off Cape Beale. They are supposed to be the last survivors of the wreck of the Valencia off Vancouver island, and the list of dead is now believed to number 119 men, women and children. The condition of the 20 men on the raft was pitiable. They had set out from the sinking Valencia Wednesday morning, leaving about ninety persons still clinging in the rigging, but being swept, one by one, into the sea by the mountainous waves. When the rescue steamer arrived there was no one visible on the wreck. The Raft Sighted. The men were half-frozen and unconscious from exposure. The raft was sighted about 12 o'clock, but owing to the thick weather it was supposed to be nothing but a log. At last, by the aid of a powerful glass, its true nature was determined. A terrible sea was running. One minute the raft was poised on top of a wave and the next it would be lost from view in the gully formed by the mountainous breakers. When the raft was within a half mile of the Topeka, a boat was lowered in charge of Second Mate Burke, which, with much difficulty, succeeded in making fast a line to the raft. The spectators on the Topeka watched the struggling of the gallant seamen breathlessly. One minute they were high in the air and the next lost to sight. At last they succeeded in bringing the raft to the side of the steamer. A Pitiable Sight. The sight of the poor creatures on the raft brought tears to the eyes of the sailors on the vessel. In the stern of the raft sat an old man. His snow-white hair and pallid features were creased and torn by the flying spray, but the instinct of life was strong in him, and he held to his place. Three others were lying in a senseless heap in the rear, washed by every swell, and retained solely by the bodies of the other men, who were closely packed. The work of rescuing them was dangerous. The men were too exhausted to even tie a rope about themselves. The City of Topeka searched the sea for another raft which had set out from the Valencia earlier in the day, carrying eight women, but no trace of it could be found. It is supposed to have foundered. The survivors say that the doomed passengers and members of the crew met their fate like men. The captain was a hero throughout the hours of suffering, making no effort to escape from the ship, but aiding others wherever he could. Three More Survivors. Victoria, B. C., Jan. 26—The steamer Shamrock arrived at Toquart, near Ucleuet, at 1:40 p. m. Thursday with three survivors of the steamer Valencia, F. Hancock, chief cook; Max Stanlar, fireman, and George Long, fireman, who were picked up at Turret island on Barclay sound by Charlie Ross, an Indian policeman of Alberni. Another survivor is still on the island, but is lost in the busas. Convicted of Larceny. New York, Jan. 26.—C. Augustus Seton, who has been on trial before Recorder Goff, charged with the larceny of $6,800 from the Houston, Galveston & Interurban Railroad Co. of Texas, in floating about $3,000,000 worth of bonds, was convicted and remanded to await sentence. Conformed By the Senate. Washington, Jan. 26.—The senate, in executive session, confirmed the nomination of Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee, to be United States ambassador to Japan. GEN. JOSEPH WHEELER DEAD THE OLD VETERAN OF TWO WARS HAS PASSED AWAY. He Won Fame as a Cavalry Leader in the Confederate Army and in the War With Spain. New York, Jan. 26.—Gen. Joseph Wheeler, the famous confederate cavalry leader and a brigadier general of the United States army since the war with Spain, died at 5:35 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the home of his sister, Mrs. Sterling Smith, in Brooklyn. The veteran of two wars was 69 years of age, but in spite of his age, there was hope until Wednesday of his recovery from the attack of pneumonia which caused his death. Gen. Wheeler was taken ill six days ago at his sister's home, where he has been living recently. He contracted a severe cold, which developed into pleurisy and pneumonia. From the first his age told against him, but the family did not give up hope until Wednesday night, when the disease was found to have affected both lungs. Gen. Wheeler's immediate relatives were all with him. The family were summoned to the bedside of the patient at midnight, when the doctors in consultation concluded that the end was but a matter of hours. The general was then awake and conscious and his mind was apparently active. He seemed to know that death was approaching and, though too weak to speak, he succeeded in giving signs of recognition and encouragement to his children. Later the general sank into a peaceful slumber, and at the request of the doctors the family quietly withdrew from the bedside. He lingered until Thursday evening and passed away quietly. STATEHOOD BILL PASSED According to Its Provisions There Will Be Two New States, Known as Oklahoma and Arizona. Washington, Jan. 26.—The house passed the statehood bill according to schedule, Thursday. The republican opposition to the measure spent its entire force Wednesday, and no effort was made to defeat the bill on its final passage, but 33 of the "insurgents" voting against the measure. The bill passed by the vote of 194 to 150. The debate which preceded this vote began at 11 o'clock and was practically featureless so far as any hope was entertained of changing the measure in the slightest degree. The bill as passed provides that Oklahoma and the Indian territory shall constitute one state under the name "Oklahoma," and that Arizona and New Mexico shall constitute one state under the name "Arizona." Should the terms of admission be ratified by the residents of the territories in question, their respective state constitutions must contain clauses prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors and plural marriages. The constitution of Arizona must prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians forever and that of Oklahoma for 21 years. The Earth Trembled in Arizona and New Mexico When the Statehood Bill Passed. Flagstaff, Ariz., Jan. 26.—At 1:33 p. m. Thursday the people of this city were thrown into a panic by a terrific shock of earthquake that threw down chimneys, cracked walls of buildings and shook the plastering from cellings. Many persons in the city experienced a feeling of seasickness, so great was the rocking motion of the earth. Advices from neighboring towns indicate that Flagstaff was near the center of disturbance. The vibrations continued for about thirty seconds. A second shock was felt at 6:36 p. m. and a third at 7:32 p. m., but these were much lighter than the first. The shocks were less as far south as Gallup, N. M. The Question of Immunity In the Case of the Chicago Packers Must Go to the Jury. Chicago, Jan. 26.—Counsel for the indicted meat packers and the government were unable to agree on a statement of facts concerning the actions of the commissioner of corporations, James H. Garfield, while investigating the beef industry, and it was decided that the trial before Judge Humphrey and a jury in his court should be again taken up, when witnesses will be called and the questions of fact concerning Mr. Garfield's actions as to whether they can be construed as giving immunity will be adduced by testimony. Washington, Jan. 26—Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte Thursday announced the dismissal from the naval academy of Stephen Decatur, Jr., of New Hampshire, convicted of courmartial of countenancing hazing. He is a descendant of Commodore Decatur. Surprise For George Ade. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 26.—Friends of George Ade, supposed to be on his way to Europe, are arranging a surprise when he returns, in the shape of nomination for congress in the Tenth district. S. L.

The money paid to the board of managers of state hospital No. 2 by the counties of the state must be used in the purchase of food and medicine, and in supplying medical attendance for the insane, and not in the erection and repair of permanent buildings in the buying of furniture or in the improvement of the grounds. This is the substance of an opinion handed down by Judge Mossman. The opinion is regarded as of the greatest importance, since it will tend to revolutionize the methods of conducting the five state institutions for the insane. Depositors Want Clinton Trustees. The executive committee of Salmon & Salmon bank depositors at a meeting at Clinton have formally decided that in view of Judge Pollock's federal bankruptcy decision it will be for the best interests of creditors to have three business men of Clinton chosen trustees of the bank's affairs. The committee has issued an address warning depositors not to sign powers of attorney or in any way commit themselves prematurely in the matter of selecting trustees. Seven Women Stabbed. Seven women, one 57 years of age, and all of whom are working downtown in various capacities in St. Louis, were victims of a mysterious "Jack the Cutter," who stabbed each with a sharp, apparently double-edged knife. The assaults all occurred on crowded streets. In several instances the women did not know they had been stabbed until after they reached home. Six were stabbed in the lower limbs and the seventh in the shoulder. Huftman's Wedding Is Postponed. Huffman's Wedding Is Postponed. Because he could not borrow $10 to help defray the expenses of his wedding, it is alleged Daniel Huffman, a young miner, took $15 from the money drawer in the Kansas City Midland Coal company's office at Novinger. He is said to have been flush with small change when arrested. The wedding was postponed and Huffman was arraigned before Judge Shelton and sent to the jail at Lancaster. To Train Social Workers. The department of sociology of Missouri university has been interested in establishing a school of philanthropy in St. Louis, which is to work in cooperation with the university in the training of social workers. The plans have so far matured that a lecture course extending over six weeks has been organized in St. Louis for this winter. Spurgeon Library Arrives. The Spurgeon library, recently purchased by William Jewell college from the heirs of the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon, has arrived in Liberty. The library, which comprises 7,000 volumes, mostly of Puritan literature, was purchased at a cost of about $3,500, and is regarded as a great prize in religious and literary circles. Many Bananas Used. About 23,000,000 bananas are eaten by Kansas City people in a year. An average of two carloads daily arrive there for distribution. Two-thirds of them are used in Kansas City and the rest are shipped to country towns. Receipts of bananas in 1895 amounted to more than 600 carloads, or more than 230,000 bunches. After Adair County Gamblers The Adair county grand jury returned 33 indictments, most of them against gamblers. Some well known men are said to be among those indicted. Judge Shelton, in his charge to the grand jury was emphatic in urging it to go after the "high toned" poker players as well as the crap shooters. Senator Clarke Gets Appointment. State Senator Charles W. Clarke has been appointed to the office of surveyor of the port of Kansas City, to succeed W. L. Kessinger, who is now serving his eighth year in that office. The place pays $1,000 per year in salary and fees limited to $4,000 additional. This makes the job worth $5,000 per year. New White River Fast Mail. Through passenger service has been inaugurated on the White River division of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain system, recently completed between Carthage and Newport, Ark. Stricken in Court Room. Luther Capron, aged 65 years, died suddenly in the circuit court house at Lamar. Mr. Capron was serving on the regular panel of petit jurors and had just entered the court room. Historical Society Meeting. The fifth annual meeting of the State Historical society will be held at Columbia February 7 and 8. Bicycle Shoes Gone Out. "What have you in the line of bicycle shoes?" was the question asked of several dealers. The reply invariably was that no bicycle shoes are being shown, and that oxfordes will be the proper thing for women who wish to ride the wheel. For men a few bicycle shoes are shown. These lace neatly to the toe. Shoe Retailer. Honored Firemen. Cambridge, Mass, last honored its oldest fireman, Chief Thomas J. Casey, with a banquet. He has been in continuous service 50 years. Booming Southwest Counties. J. H. Curran, president of the newly organized Missouri immigration association, which is booming the southwestern part of the state for settlement has made a trip through that section. He was amazed at the results already accomplished. In many counties and towns clubs have been organized to aid the movement. At Potosi, Desarc and Piedmont the clubs have large memberships. "The people are very enthusiastic," said Mr. Curran. "Native merchants are active in the movement and are anxious for the country to be opened up. "There seems to be a feeling throughout the entire section that the land must be held at its present value. The owners do not want to take advantage of settlers and are willing to give new residents value received." Kansas City Franchise Rejected. Mayor J. H. Neff has received a letter signed by Hugh J. McGowan, of Indianapolis, Randall Morgan, of Philadelphia, and C. E. Small, in which they decline to accept the terms of the franchise recently passed by the city council and signed by the mayor, granting the right to supply Kansas City with natural gas during the next 30 years at 25 cents per 1,000 feet, or until natural gas failed, when the grantees were to supply the city with manufactured gas at 75 cents per 1,000 feet. Consumers there are now paying $1 for manufactured gas. Preparing for Summer Normal. State Superintendent of Public Schools W. T. Carrington has been conferring with the regents of the new State Normal, of which he is to be president., recently located at Springfield, with regard to the summer school which will be held in the high school building next summer. He said that he expected between 600 and 800 teachers enrolled in the school for its first session. About 25 instructors will be employed for the summer session. Carried Eight Miles on a Cot. Oscar Rowden, a miner, was fatally injured in the Wolverine mine, eight miles southeast of Springfield, by a 500-pound boulder falling on him, fracturing his skull and mashing his leg. In order to get the injured man to the St. John's hospital in Springfield four of his fellow workmen carried him the entire distance on a cot. Avoided Divorce Cage. William F. Arnold, a wealthy and highly respected farmer, living near Baniste, 16 miles west of Linn Creek, shot himself through the heart. He was served with a summons in a divorce case, and he left a note stating that he would rather end his life than have the family disgraced by taking the matter into court. Governor Pardoned Patterson Gov. Folk released Charles G. Patterson from the penitentiary on a parole which has the effect of a pardon. The terms of the parole are that Patterson in the future obey the laws of the state. Patterson was serving a two-year term in the penitentiary for shooting ex-State Senator E. D. Martin, of Marshall. Long-Lived Missourians. Mexico has long been noted for the longevity of its citizens. As an illustration three persons died here in one day whose combined ages totaled 233 years. They were Mrs. Martha Adams, 70 years old, who came to this county in 1848; David Trimble, 90 years old, and John W. Robinson, 73 years old. Body Was Blown to Pieces John W. Skinner Was instantly killed and his son probably fatally injured near Frankford, a town on the Missouri river. Skinner's body was blown to pieces, some of the parts being found 50 yards from the scene of the accident. They are supposed to have been fishing with dynamite. Expensive Kansas City Property. The record price was paid for Kansas City realty when Louis and Machael Oppenstein purchased of Anna Miller, a plot of ground 48x115 feet, situated at 1109 and 1111 Main street, for $200,000. This is $4,100 a front foot and is the highest price ever paid for business property in Kansas City. Missouri Building Bills. A bill appropriating $60,000 for a federal building at Boonville, has been introduced in the house by Representative Shackleford. Representative Shartel introduced a bill appropriating $75,000 for a building at Monett. Wants to Be Kept in Jail. Thomas Hilton, 80 years old, a resident of Rich Hill since its infancy, has made application to be kept in jail until warm weather, as he does not wish to be sent to the poor farm. The Trouble Located. The theory of the New York education board's committee that women teachers destroy the manliness of boy pupils suggests the possibility that we all made a mistake in having women for mothers. — Philadelphia North American.

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. 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 commission was sent to the United States to study educational, social and industrial conditions. J. Wheeler, editor and manager of the St. Louis Palladium, has committed the crime of publishing a Negro Republican paper and has been singled out to be killed by the person high in authority. We are sorry, indeed, that such is the case, yet the Republicans of the city cannot see it. According to latest political pointers Dr. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, president of Western university, is to succeed as register of the United States treasury Mr. Judson Lyons, whose term will expire in a few weeks. Several candidates have been named in connection with the covetable position, but Dr. Vernon seems the most likely to secure it, as he has the strongest backing and the most favorable political record behind him. But for the low opposition to his appointment from certain members of his own race household he would have been named in all probability for the place before this. The position is an important and lucrative one, but Dr. Vernon will measure up to it with no less efficiency than the late Blanche K. Bruce or the retiring Judson Lyons. His appointment will give widespread satisfaction to the race and gratification to the constituency of western whites who are behind him with wealth, power and influence—Christian Recorder. We are surprised to see the above editorial in the Christian Recorder, stating that the appointment of Vernon will give general satisfaction to the race and gratification to the constituency of western whites who are behind him with wealth, power and influence. We wish to say that white men do not know the Negro. They are pushing him for what they heard him say. His personal friends are the ones that wish him to get the office, that he may aid them. But we who live here in the west and know the circumstances ought to be heard, and we will from now until the appointment comes off. J. W.

We are getting the horse laugh by a number of our subscribers, who tell us to call on a certain day, and they say they have not got the money. Then, if we call the next day, they say they don't want us to run after them, so stop the paper. This we will do. Women, who are always at every ball and dog-fight will soon get behind in their paper bill; so it is better to stop now than get under The St. Louis Palladium Mule. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Prof. B. F. Bowles, of East St. Louis, made an interesting and timely talk on the topic, "The Tendency of the Times," at the men's meeting Sunday, January 14. At the recent election of the board of directors the officers elected were: L. J. Rhone, president; Charles H. Dodge, vice-president; G. H. Anderson, recording secretary; Thomas A.

KIRKWOOD NEWS The Kirkwood Thimble Club gave an Old Folks' Concert last Friday. There were solos by Mrs. Fishback, Mrs. Anthony and Mr. G. Sides. Choice selections were rendered by Mrs. J. Gillespie, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Curry and Miss F. Reid. After the programme, which was very interesting, refreshments were served in abundance. Mrs. Boyd, one of our late residents, was among us last Friday. Mrs. Jas. Barnett has a very nice restaurant, hot drinks, in fact all the delicacies of the season. Give her a call. Miss Avy Walker, who, they say, has been married since last August, has gone to join her husband in Kansas City. She has just recently revealed to the public the fact that she is married.

(From St. Louis Palladium, Oct. 7, 1899.) In looking over our list of learned Divinces and Professors, we have discovered a second Big Indian around whose wreched, degenerate and degraded form, is closely drawn the blanket of religion. This arch deceiver who sat at the very head of one of our institutions of culture is even as contemptible, and malicious defamer of his race as the Big Indian of St. Louis. This red eyed defamer of defenseless school girls, has been known to put on the war paint of immorality and chase the daughter of a brother minister, and was forced to flee for personal safety. The editor of the Palladium does not believe in lynching but when a man black or white seeks to defame the character of a defenseless female he should pay the penalty by forfeiting every vestage of manhood, and if need be by yielding his life to wounded humanity and the down trodden honor of the weaker sex. This Big Indian now located at Quindaro, Kas, is the most corrupt of the corruptible corruption. MASQUERADE PARTY. The mask party at Orpheus Academy was largely attended Friday night. The costumes were many and varied. Much amusement attended the unmasking at 11 o'clock, and many and great were the surprises when the faces of the maskers came to view. Prizes were awarded to those wearig the most beautiful, the most ingenious and the most frightful costumes. The recipients of prizes were Mesdames Hugh V. Allen, Mayme Robinson, Anna Shannon; Misses Q. Victoria Wallace, Sara Brown, Clotilde Hudlin, Alice Chambers and Mr. Frank Mitchell. The mask parties will be given every Friday evening until further notice. Mrs. Ellen Brown, one of the oldest residents of Webster, departed this life Jan. 17, 1906, at 3:10 a. m. She was buried from the First Baptist Church, Friday, Jan. 19. Rev. Purnell officiated. She was a faithful member and a willing worker, always seeking to offer a word of consolation. She leaves a husband, sister, brother, five daughters, four sons and a host of friends to mourn her loss. The floral offerings to the memory of this beloved one were divine.

Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. WEBSTER GROVES JIM CROW RINK The motto of the National Rip Saw is: "Blind as a bat to everything but right." We were informed that Miss Alice Raimey is a constant visitor at the Jim Crow rink, and one of the best skaters. The girl or woman who is always begging for money to get fine clothes will, after marriage, soon go back to papa and mamma. The club girls are not worth 15 cents in bad nickels. They are at balls, skating rinks, every dog fight, until 11 and 1 o'clock at night. Show me a woman that is a member of a woman's club and I will tell you her children are neglected. If no children, then the husband is. The biggest nuisance in the world is a club woman, for it won't be long before her husband will be clubbing her for neglect of duty in her home. A girl that is not willing to work and get money by the sweat of her brow will soon go to ruin—for in this man's town you must work or do worse. There are not ten young ladies on Lawton and Market that attend any church. They are playing cards, at balls, or at some telephone making dates, while the mother is out slaving for them. When girls or men can find time to spend five hours at night in a ballroom, skating rink, card playing and standing on the street at night, they are not worth 15 cents in nickels the next day. No man that wants a wife will expect to find her at a ball-room or card table. Such wives, if they get them, are only good time wives. One man is as good as another. Why young girls do not get married sooner is because they want a good time. Oh, yes, they get it soon. If men come to see girls they should know when to leave; 11:30 and 12 o'clock is no time, for such visits are only mutual agreements and the neighbors will soon talk. Birds of a feather will flock together. When you see a man in company with a tough, his stamp is upon the other. When a girl knows that another girl is any thing but a lady—why is it that they are always in their company. Answer—because she is no better than she. A YELLOW, FRECKLE-FACED NEGRO WOMAN. On Tuesday night last, about 7:30, the above speimen of humanity met a white man. The Negro woman is a cashier in a Negro barber shop. She had on a long red sack coat and a cowboy hat. They had better get another meeting place, or we will have them arrested, as the white folks are making so much a-do about Wilkerson hugging and kissing a white woman. Let the white man shinny on his own side. We know the yellow, freckled-face Negro woman as she paid us 30 cents a few weeks ago for the Palladium. THE SLANGY GIRL The girl that uses slang, perhaps thinking she is "too cute for anything," stamps herself as common, no matter how many fine feathers she is decked in. If it is "Oh, gge!" "That's the stuff!" "Fine and dandy," "Gee Whiz," "Nit," at every turn of affairs we know exactly what round of the ladder she belongs on. The racy, slangy girl may attract, for she is often witty and able to hold her own in any place, but she does not leave the sweet impression of her sister whose wit is not clothed in language of the street, and could our slangy girl appreciate this truth and drop the expressive but coarse language her charm of manner would be a new grace to her witty words. EVENING CLASSES IN SHORT-HAND. It is with pleasure we note the fact that Mr. Ambrose A. Clark is now instructing classes in shorthand writing. It is now that our young men and young ladies should prepare for the duties that await them in the places opening every day. You should be equal to any other man or woman that lives on the earth. We are living in an age of business activity, and the young men and women of our race should be ready at all times to enter into the business activity of the twentieth century.

Frank Fowler Brown, formerly of the Brown & Brown Co., will appear at True Reformers' Hall Monday, Feb. 5, 1906. Mr. Brown is a lyric tenor and a graduate of Schellschmidt School of Music of Indianapolis, having studied under Prof. Jas. L. Gelger, a graduate of Cincinnati College of Music, after which he studied under the great Lamperti, prior to a successful season in vaudeville. He is the possessor of rare vocal powers, with a voice flexible and bell-like, of a rare, pure, sweet quality, which shows the result of careful training. Messrs. Theodore Drury, Rosamond Johnson, and Harry Burleigh, whom he sang for in private, were very enthusiastic over his voice and were unanimous in the opinion that he is one of the artists of the race; that as a tenor singer he ranks with Mr. Sidney Woodward and Mr. Harry Williams, the race's greatest. He has been engaged by Mr. Drury to be one of the tenors to sing the part of Don Jose in "Carmen" and Radames in "Alda," during the week of May 28, at Fourteenth street theater, New York. A STORM PARTY. Probably one of the most unique affairs of the winter season was a storm party given in honor of Mrs. Robert Manning, of Chicago, at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Martin, 3955 Fairfax avenue. Mrs. Manning has been spending several weeks with her mother. Among those present were: Miss Cynthia Morton, Mrs. Corner, Mrs. Blakie, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin, Mr. and Mrs. McGee, Mr. and Mrs. White and several others. Mrs. White will return to Chicago with her sister, Mrs. Manning, for a short stay. KNIGHTS OF TABER DRILL CORPS NO. 2. This is one of the crack drill corps of the Order of Knights of Taber.

THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN UNION LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. The high character of Dr. B. F. Allen's administration and of the work done in Lincoln Institute has recently received tangible indorsement in the part that the School Board of St. Joseph has voted to accept the life certificates or diplomas of the graduates from the Normal Department of Lincoln Institute in lieu of examination. There is at present a number of students from St. Joseph in the Normal Department, and three young ladies, Misses Edna Lee, Louise Bell and Ethel Gross are members of the class of '06, to be graduated in June. It will be remembered that St. Joseph, Kansas City and St. Louis are the only places in the State exempted from receiving the diplomas of the State Normal Schools as equivalent to examinations, and this action on the part of St. Joseph Board will be an incentive for an increased attendance in Lincoln Institute, and if the plan works well, as it is bound to with the constant rise of standard in the character of work done in Lincoln Institute and in the other State schools, will induce the Board of other cities mentioned to follow suit. Prof. Elliff, inspector of high schools, was so much pleased with the work he witnessed and took charge of personally during his recent visit to the institution, that he requested Prof. George, principal of the Jefferson City High School, to come out and bring his senior class. Accordingly, for the first time in the history of either institution, the Jefferson City High School dismissed for a special trip to Lincoln Institute. A large class of seniors, boys and girls, accompanied by their principal, Prof. George, visited the junior class in mediaeval history and the sophomore class in geometry, the sewing and musical department, and made a general inspection of all of the buildings. These visitors were very enthusiastic in their expression of interest, surprise and satisfaction. Dr. C. L. Lackey, who presents a gold medal to the young woman of the senior class who ranks first in scholarship, recently placed the medal on exhibition in the window of a prominent jeweler. Of beautiful design and workmanship, it has become the talk of the city. On Monday, at his own request, the doctor delivered a most valuable illustrated lecture on "The Circulation of the Blood" to the large audience of faculty and students assembled in the auditorium, and took this occasion to display the medal and deposit the same with Dr. Allen. It was received with rounds of applause and with appropriate remarks from the president. It will be awarded on Commencement day to the young woman who ranks first in scholarship. Miss Daisy Terrell, who is preparing to enter a medical college, was so much impressed with the scene that she now offers a gold medal to the young man of the senior class who receives the highest mark of the young men.

To keep the lungs in good condition and to insure full power for the voice, writes S. E. Taylor in the Globe-Democrat, one should never sit in that attitude so frequently adopted by girls and women, particularly when they desire to appear confidential, of stooping over with the shoulders contracted and the chest drawn in. It will result in harm befalling both the voice and lungs—serious harm if much indulged in. Permitting the head to droop a little while talking is also bad for the vocal chords, and in this connection it may as well be observed that anyone A SITTING WITH CONTRACTED CHEST. who wants his voice to sound sweet and in good tone should never wear anything which presses tightly against the neck, or which is so high that one cannot bend it slightly without a sense of choking or suffocation. High or tight collars or stocks, therefore, ought to be discarded. Smoking and hot drinks will also have a pernicious effect on the vocal chords. As a final admonition, let it be understood that no breathing exercises ought to be indulged in for at least two hours after eating a meal. The action of the diaphgram will result in sickness at the stomach and will also retard the action of digestion. Exercise before meals is best, and at no time should the diaphragm be too much contracted or the sensation of sickness at the stomach, due to its pressing down upon it, will be experienced. ABOUT THE COMPLEXION. At Night Wear Mask of Rye Flour and Linseed Meal and Great Improvement Will Follow. Among the very best measures is the Turkish or Russian bath. Anything to induce free perspiration is of great use in clearing the skin if the pores have been clogged. Then continued care is needed that they are kept free from dust or the deposits of perspiration. The face should be washed every day in tepid water, and dried with a very soft linen cloth. Nothing is more injurious to a delicate skin than the rubbing and scratching with coarse towels, which some people seem to think is needful. An authority on complexions says that a paste made of rye flour and linseed meat is one of the very best applications for clearing the complexion. It must be made thick, and applied as a mask, and worn for 14 hours without removing. If worn every night for ten nights there will be a wonderful change in the appearance. One can well afford to make extra long nights for the sake of securing a good complexion. When the paste is removed the face must be well washed with tepid water, and very gently rubbed with a little cold cream, which is excellent when made as follows: Spermaceti, 500 grammes; pure wax, 100 grammes; oil of sweet almonds, 500 grammes; rose water, 50 grammes. Put the wax and spermaceti into a vessel placed in a kettle of boiling water; stir them gently until melted. Pour the mixture into a marble mortar, and allow it to become cool. Then stir it gently for an hour, add six drops of essence of roses, and beat the mass until it is perfectly smooth and white. Applied to the face after bathing or exposure to the sun, this cream has a very soothing and healing effect. Etiquette of Elder Day An old manual of etiquette shows that the people of bygone days were not so different from those of the present, for the treatise thinks it necessary to state that one should never ask a friend where she bought her gown and the uttermost farthing of its cost. To this rule, however, an astonishing exception is made. One might ask these things, it seems, if one really wanted to get a gown like the one in question, and were, therefore, asking sincerely for information. Evidently in these days, when sisters thought it smart to dress exactly alike, it was considered a compliment to copy a friend's gown. Another interesting statement of this precious manual is that no lady looks worse than when "gnawing a bone." Plenty of Water. Dark circles under the eyes are nearly always significant of some internal derangement, particularly liver or kidney trouble. If these lines are very pronounced it would be wise to consult your family physician. By drinking two or three quarts of water a day the trouble can usually be corrected, and under any circumstances this will be good for your health. One of the ills to which some flesh is heir is a red nose, and women who have no alcoholic tendencies may still be afflicted with it. As a matter of fact it is largely a result of poor circulation and a general low condition of the system, so that the things to do to get rid of the color are to strengthen the physical state and improve the circulation. The latter is done locally, by massage and lotions, while diet and certain foods will have much to do toward changing the condition of the blood. Inflammation and dilation of the nose always indicate an unhealthy internal condition. So many internal difficulties may cause this disgustment that it is necessary, first, to find its origin. Poor circulation, digestive troubles, chronic intestinal derangement and nervous diseases—all these will inflame the nose. So, too, will tight clothing or morbid emotions caused by sensational or bad literature. Habitual cold feet tend to redden the nose, and often a suffering great toe, pressed by ill-fitting shoes, is responsible for a nose with swollen veins. It is well known that too much alcohol will produce congestion, and too rich food is similarly unpleasant in its results. Acidity of the stomach may be an inducing cause of the trouble, and when one has this form of indigestion an excellent treatment is to drink a cup of hot water after each meal. Heat and cold, of course, have immediate effect, both reddening, so that a person with a red nose should use only tepid water on the face, taking care that no really hot or cold water touches it, A NEAT SHIRTWAIST Time to Be Thinking of New Shirtwaists—This a Model to Recommend Highly. An excellent tailored shirtwaist model pictured in cameo moire is made over a fitted lining and closes at the center front. Broad tucks decorate the back and front of the waist, forming a simulated vest in front. The neck is finished with a high THE LADY OF THE WEST SIMPLE AND ATTRACTIVE. standing collar and shaped strap. The sleeve is a regulation leg-o-mutton model, fitting closely from the elbow, and decorated with a shaped strap at the wrist to match the neck trimming. Taffetas and the new soft satin will make up well for extra occasions, and for general wear, mohair, brilliantine, French flannel, the new wash flannels and winter shirting are suggested.

Place Conundrums in English Walnut Shells and Glue the Halves Together and Mix with Real Nuts. Here are a few good nuts to crack. Write the conundrums on small bits of paper, and insert them in English walnut shells; glue the halves together and mix in a bowl of sure-enough nuts. When is a doctor most annoyed? When he is out of patients. Why is grass like a mouse? Because the cat'll eat it. (Cattle eat it.) Why does a bay horse never pay toll? Because his master pays it for him. How was Admiral Dewey's naval rank reduced when he got married? He became Mis. Dewey's second mate. Why is the first chicken of a brood like the main mast of a ship? Because it's a little ahead of the main hatch. What is the difference between a milk maid and a swallow? The milk skims the milk, the swallow skims the water. For Eczema. For a child who is afflicted with eczema you will find nothing more soothing and harmless than this cosmetic jelly, which is inexpensive and most easily made: Seven ounces of rosewater, and 30 grains of gum tragacanth; let soak over night, strain forcibly through fine muslin and add one-half ounce of alcohol and one-half ounce of glycerin and a pinch of boric acid. This may be applied to the entire body of the child, and when the skin is rough or the little face smarting from the wind it will be found the greatest comfort. You can use it yourself, too, to keep your hands from chapping. Girl with Green Eyes Women with queer, yellow eyes, with a little brown in them like cat's eyes, should wear green.

How Skilled Hunters Fool the Big Animals and Get Them in Range of Their Guns. The time to call the bull moose is from the middle of September to the middle of October, and sometimes later. It is the habit of the female at that time of the year to seek open spaces on the hills at sundown and give voice to a mellow, but far-sounding cry. This is the signal to the male, and the call is not often repeated before some shambling bull is heard crashing through the brush, his long, split hoofs rattling at every step, on his way to the rendezvous. This peculiar cry, explains the Philadelphia Press, the hunters have learned to imitate with greater or less degrees of exactness, and made it an agent for luring their game into am- THE SHAMBLING BULL COMES CRASHING THROUGH THE BRUSH. THE SHAMBLING BULL COMES CRASHING THROUGH THE BRUSH. bush. The call is made by means of a horn rolled out of birch bark, to mouth which perfectly requires long and constant practice. The hunter, when an adept at sounding the moose love song, simply hides himself at a favorable spot in the wilderness, with his gun in readiness, and blows the horn. As he hears the bull approaching, generally pausing in the brush at intervals to listen for the call and get his bearings, the caller needs all his nerve and unfailing lip. The call must be tempered to the approach of the bull, and one false note is never lost on that wary lover's true and cultivated ear. No cow moose ever slurred a note or sang too flat or too sharp, floating her invitation to her mate on the crisp air of an autumn evening, and the slightest variation either way in the sound will send the expectant brute flying like the wind away from the treacherous trysting place—disappointed, perhaps, but not so much so as the hunter whose false lip lost him the coveted prize. The female moose rarely calls after dark, the exceptional instances being on light moonlight nights. Consequently hunters seldom try to lure a bull by calling after night has come on. If a bull can be induced to answer a moonlight call, however, the excitement of the sport is increased. There is something decidedly weefd and uncanny in the sound of the startling call echoing among the hills, their tops flooded in light and their sides and bases wrapped in impenetrable shadow, and the answering bellow of the bull, as it comes out from the very depths of the shadow. As the huge animal approaches from the wilderness, and finally emerges from the moonlit open, the nerves, even of the experienced hunter, are strung at the severest tension, while to the novice the suspense is simply agony. FEEDING THE LITTLE LAMBS New Hampshire Jersey Cow Which Has Adopted Two Little Woolly Waifs. A recent attraction at the beautiful summer home of F. B. Shedd, on Bay hill, Northfield, N. H. was a member of his famous herd of Jersey cows, acting as foster mother to two small lambs, their own ewe, as sometimes happens, having refused to rear them. Mr. Shedd's pure bred sheep have been his special pride and there was COW AND HER FOSTER CHILDREN, consternation for a time for fear the two deserted lambs could not be brought up unless the task was performed by hand, a difficult feat to accomplish. One of the gentle Jerseys, however, came to the rescue by accepting the place of foster mother in a most kindly spirit. The lambs were taught to look upon the Jersey as their mother, and after a few visits that filled for them a long-felt want, they would race to the bossie's box stall whenever the hour for lunch arrived and they were given their freedom. Mr. Shedd is a prominent business man in Lowell. She Knew. "Dot. can you tell us what this spells — R-e-f-r-i-l-e-r-a-t-o-r?" asked the teacher, one day. "Why-er-er—" stammered Dot. "Come, come, child, answer quickly. What does your mother put the cold meats and vegetables in?" "Hash," promptly answered Dot. A Good Indoor Game.

A table which may be used for a general "stowaway," as well as for studying and writing, is just the piece of furniture a boy needs in his room. One is shown here which any boy can make for himself. Get two plain deal boxes of equal size, and stand THE DESK IN BUILDING it them on end a little way apart. Make a top to go on these, of a size so that the ends and edges will project two or three inches beyond the boxes (Fig. 1). The top should have a rectangular piece of dark-green cloth glued to it in the manner shown (Fig. 2), leaving three inches, or more, of the wood to show all round the cloth. The wood can be stained a walnut color, if desired. The interiors of the boxes are now to be fitted with drawers, as shown in Fig. 2, and drawer "pulls" should be placed upon the front of these, and the whole front and sides of the boxes be stained the same color as the top. This will make a fine writing or reading table, and the drawers will be most convenient for holding the boy's treasures—writing material, "collections" of this, that and the other thing, his camera and THE DESK FIXED FOR DRAWERS. photographic material. If the amateur carpenter is not clever enough to make the drawers, says the Farmers' Review, the boxes can have curtains of art serge in front of them, and they can be used for storing books, magazines, and many other treasures a boy prizes. BOBBY THE HUNTER. Why He Concluded He Would Prefer Shooting at a Mark Than at Birds. Bobby was wild with excitement. He was going into the woods, a real sure-enough camping out, with pine boughs for beds, and things cooked over a camp fire and hunting and fishing. For one thing, he wouldn't fire at marks any longer. He would get real game, and catch real fish, and when Uncle Jim told some of his bear yarns, he would have a yarn of his own to spin. But he had no idea the woods could be so awfully lonesome. It took him two days to go five trees away from the tent by himself. He counted the trees, because then he could count back. On the third morning he closed his lips firmly and walked 12 trees from the tent. Then he sat down, with an arrow fitted in his bowstring, and waited. Uncle Jim always went into the wildest part of the forest for his bears and things, and this was certainly wild and remote, for he could only barely see the camp kettle hanging under the forked sticks. Presently a beautiful blue bird, almost exactly like the bluejay in his picture book, flew to a low branch not ten feet away. His eyes glistened as he stretched the bowstring. He would not be playhunter any more, but a real one. The bluejay cocked his head on one side and nodded. Bobby stared and then waited to admire the beautiful markings of the wings and head. He remembered how the game which Uncle Jim brought into the camp looked, and how sorry he felt when he saw the poor limp forms and closed eyes. Would this beautiful bird look that way after he shot it? Slowly the bowstring slackened. He rose and walked thoughtfully back to camp. Uncle Jim was mending a net. "Well, Nimrod," Uncle Jim called, "what luck?" Bobby flushed, but his voice did not falter. "Uacle Jim," he said, "I believe I'd rather shoot at marks."—Boston Globe. JACKIE'S LOAD.

TO CURE THE GRIP IN ONE DAY ANTI-GRIPINE HAS NO EQUAL FOR HEADACHE A TRULY IDEAL WIFE Vigorous Health Is the Great Source of Power to Inspire and Encourage- All Women Should Seek It. One of the most noted, successful and richest men of this century, in a recent article, has said, "Whatever I am and whatever success I have attained in this world I owe all to my wife. From the day I first knew her she has been an inspiration, and the greatest helpmate of my life." Mrs. Bessie Ainsley To be such a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her husband, to inspire him to make the most of himself, should be a woman's constant study. If a woman finds that her energies are fagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, headaches, bearing-down pains, nervousness, irregularities or the blues, she should start at once to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Following we publish by request a letter from a young wife: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Ever since my child was born I have suffered, as I hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman and I feel so grateful to her, and to tell of my marvelous recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality." - Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash. What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for every sick and alluring woman.

CONSUMPTION A. N. K.-B 2110 PAIN IN THE JOINTS Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make New Blood. The first sign of rheumatism is frequently a pain and swelling in one of the joints. If not combated in the blood, which is the seat of the disease, the poison spreads, affecting other joints and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism attacks the heart and is quickly fatal. The one remedy that has cured rheumatism so that it stays cured is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills expel the poison from the blood and restore the system, so that the poisonous matter is passed off as nature intended. Mrs I. T. Pitcher, of No. 130 Monmouth street, Newark, N. J., suffered for about three years from rheumatism before she found this cure. She says: "It began with a queer feeling in my fingers. In a little time it seemed as though the finger joints had lumps on them and I could not get my gloves on. "Then it grew worse and spread to my knees. I could not stand up and I could not sleep nights. My suffering was more than I can describe. I took a great deal of medicine, but nothing even gave me relief until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "I read an account of a cure in a case that was exactly like mine and my husband got me some of the pills. I took them for three weeks before I really felt better but they finally cured me." Mr. Pitcher, who is a veteran and a member of E. D. Morgan Post, No. 307 of New York, substantiates his wife's statement and says that she now walks without difficulty, whereas a year ago he was compelled to push her about in a wheeled chair. Both Mr. and Mrs. Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For further information, address the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y.

"A little widow, a neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when my stomach was so weak that it would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman, from San Bernardino Co., Cal. "I had been ill and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostration for three long months after the birth of my second boy. We were in despair until the little widow's advice brought relief. "I liked Grape-Nuts food from the beginning, and in an incredibly short time it gave me such strength that I was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In 2 months my weight increased from 95 to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down, and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to see me gain so rapidly, and still more so when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had brought the change. "My 4-year-old boy had eczema, very bad, last spring, and lost his appetite entirely, which made him cross and peevish. I put him on a diet of Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once. He improved from the beginning, the eczema disappeared, and now he is fat and rosy, with a delightfully soft, clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. I will willingly answer all inquiries."

John began preaching in A. D. 28, when Jesus was between 29 and 20 years of age and while he was still dwelling at Nazareth. The baptism of Jesus was six months after John had begun his ministry, about January A. D. 27. PLACE.—The wilderness—the wild, thinly inhabited region lying west of the Dead sea and the Jordan. The baptism of Jesus was at Bethabara, either at the fords northeast of Jericho, or the ford near Bethshean, 14 miles south of the Sea of Galilee, also called Bethany. **REFERENCES.**—The baptism and its significance: Matt. 3:6, 38:19, 20; Mark 16:16, John 1:25, Acts 2:28, 8:36, 10:46:48, 16:30:33, 18:8, 19:4, 22:16; Rom. 6:3-5; Gal 7:27; Col. 2:11, 12; Tit. 3:16; 1 Pet. 2:12. **The descent of the Holy Spirit:** Isa. 11:2, 30:21, 40:13; Joel 2:28; Zech. 4:16, 12:10; Matt. 4:13; John 3:3, 5, 6; 7:38, 15:28, 16:8-14; Acts 4:1, 2:38; 5:32, 10:44-18; 15:28; Rom. 8:14, 23; Gal. 5:1, 18, 22; Eph. 1:13, 14; Tit. 3:16; 1 Pet. 3:18, 21, 1 John 4:2. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 2. "It is written in the prophets." The quotation in v. 2 is from Malachi 1; and that in v. 3 is from Isaiah 10:3. V. 3. He was "the voice of one crying," Greek, "shouting, crying with a high, strong voice," as a manifestation of feeling, "in the wilderness." The fitting place for his work. V. 4. "And preach." Proclaim like a herald with his trumpet, "Prepare yo the way of the Lord." "Repentance for the remission of sins." Repentance is a change of mind, of heart as to sin; implying grief over sin, as its source, and a change of life and conduct, as its result. V. 5. "All the land of Judea and all) they of Jerusalem" were drawn out to the desert to hear the prophet-rich and poor, young men and maidens, hardened sinners, Pharisees, soldier, Romans, priests, farmers, villagers, citizens, beggars, publicans, all classes and conditions of men. Thus the whole country was aroused and heard the message which prepared the way for the Messiah King. V. 7. "Preached." Proclaimed as a aerald. The Greek tense implies that he kept doing this. "The lachet of whose shoes," or rather, sandals. Latchet, a word now obsolete, was the "thong" or "lace" with which shoes or sandals were fastened. "I am not worthy to . . . unloose." It was the business of the lowest servants to bind on, to loose and carry about their master's sandals. The nature of Jesus, the work of Jesus for men was infinitely above John's, greatest of the prophets as he was. John could point to the Saviour, Jesus could save. John could send men to the good physician, Jesus could cure the disease of sin. V. 8. "I indeed have baptized you with water," "unto repentance" (Matt.). A sign and symbol. I call to repentance, but cannot give the new life. V. 9. "In those days," when Jesus was about 30 years old, and while John was preaching and baptizing in the Jordan. About six months after John began to preach. "Baptized of John." Described more fully in Matthew. Jesus received baptism which expressed "death to an old life, and rising to a new," because (1) baptism expressed a public renunciation of sin, and an open stand on the side of God and righteousness. Christ did not need to repent, but He did need to show by this public profession that He belonged on the side of righteousness, and was eternally opposed to sin. (2) Baptism was required of His followers as one of the great aids to a righteous life, Christ, therefore, would fulfil every duty He required of them. He was the standard and example of righteousness. (3) By His baptism He showed that He was himself a brother of the sinful. "He maintained an attitude of solidarity with the sinful rather than assume the position of critic and judge." He shared the fortunes of our fallen and wrecked humanity. V. 10. "And straightway coming up," as soon as He was baptized. They say that John had the people under water up to the neck until they confessed their sins, and that Jesus having none or confess tarried not in the river. "The Spirit like a dove descending upon him." The Holy Spirit descended not only in the manner of a dove, but in the bodily shape of a dove (Luke 3:2). This was the symbol: the coming of the Spirit was the reality. V. 11. "There came a voice from Heaven." Three times during our Lord's earthly ministry was a voice heard from Heaven: (1) at His baptism; (2) at His transfiguration (Mark 3: 7); (3) in the courts of the temple during Passion Week (John 12: 28). "Thou art My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Thus God endorsed Him and His mission, and showed to the Jewish nation that here was the Messiah. It must also have strengthened and confirmed the human Jesus as to His nature and His work. For the Quiet Hour. Where no enthusiasm is the fires of conviction will smolder.

TERRIFIC VOLCANIC HEAT. temperature of 1,600 Degrees Fahrenheit Attained by Melted Rock. In a recently published volume on volcanoes Prof. C. Doelter undertakes to tell why volcanoes have eruptions Melted rock such as is flung from Vesuvius requires a temperature of 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit, so that it becomes liquid only far down in the earth, perhaps 60 or 100 miles. Below the outer crust of cooled and solidified rocks there must be a larger zone of rock which still remains solid, because its temperature is less than that of the melting point corresponding to the pressure under which it rests, and below that again there must be rock or magna in a state of fusion; it is to this magna that Prof. Doelter looks for the primary source of all volcanic activity. At the same time the depth at which this primary reservoir of magna lies and the pressure under which it is confined are so great that a direct eruption from it is inconceivable, but when by movements in the overlying crust or otherwise a channel is opened the magna may rise to a depth where it is surrounded by rock at a lower temperature than the melting point. In these circumstances solidification begins. From all volcanoes large quantities of steam, of carbonic acid and other gases are evolved, and the course of every lava stream is marked by clouds of steam evolved from the cooling lava. At one time—and the idea is still common—this steam was supposed to have been derived from sea water which has obtained access to the molten lava while still underground, but this explanation is now generally rejected, being impossible in some cases and inadequate in all, and the greater part of the steam and other emanations from a volcano are now regarded as directly derived from an original store in the interior of the earth. However this may be, it is certain that the magma from which volcanic lava is derived is not merely in a state of igneous fusion, but is combined with water and gases which are given off as it solidifies, and by their escape frequently form miniature volcanoes on the surface of lava streams. NOT THE PROPER SPIRIT. Customer in Jeweler's Was Not Endowed with the Christmas Feeling. "It isn't the presents—it's the spirit," said January Jones, the millionaire miner of Goldfields, apropos of Christmas. "I was in a bric-a-brac shop last January, and something that tool place three showed me that with too many of us the Christmas spirit is not the proper one. "I was talking to the proprietor. One of the clerks stepped up excitedly, his eyes beaming with the hope of a big sale. "'Say, boss,' he whispered, 'give me the key to the safe. There's a lady wants a politeaire just like the one she has on. She thinks it will be fun to have two rings alike.' "The proprietor did not bring forth the key. He only shook his head and said sadly: "Don't waste any time on her. The ring she has on is a Christmas present, and she only wants to find out what it cost." DEVOTION DEMANDED. Visiting Beaux Must Depart Early or Join in Family Prayer. A Presbyterian clergyman of this city, with two popular daughters, has discovered a new way to end the visits of their beaux at a seemingly hour—a plan which might appeal to lay families as well, says the Philadelphia Record. For a number of years it has been a custom of this good man to hold evening worship after supper, always concluding the prayers with a short discourse. Things went very well until the daughters began to receive the attentions of young men, and begged off or stole away to make their evening toilets. Then the minister changed the devotional hour until ten in the evening. This reform created an upheaval, but the father insisted, and at the stroke of ten the visiting young men are now left two alternatives: Either to leave or join with the family in prayer, and it has proved a severe test of their devotion for the daughters when those not prayerfully inclined stick it out, sermon and all. Money in Raising Black A Maine farmer who raises nothing but foxes claims to have discovered that the black fox is not a freak and he is proceeding to prove this theory by mixing a black fox from Ohio with a red one caught in Maine woods. From the cross he has a pair of fine black foxes, ten weeks old, and these wins are not the first he has raised the same way he is confident that in time he may be able to replace all the red foxes on his farm and raise for the fur market nothing but the finest blacks, whose pelts sell for $200 to $300 each. Judging from sales made in the past, the four black foxes he has now are entered on his stock list is worth $1,000, and he feels rich. He has the foxes inclosed by a wire fence 16 feet high.—Worcester (Mass.) Telegram. Tale That Was Told Ella—Bello told me that you told her that secrt I told you not to tell her.

Henry Vignaud, secretary of the American embassy at Paris, enjoins telling of an American who was being shown the tomb of Napoleon, relates Success Magazine. As the loquacious guide referred to the various points of interest in connection with the tomb, the American revived the greatest interest in all that was said. "This immense sarcophagus," declaimed the guide, "weighs 40 tons. Inside of that, sir, is a steel receptacle weighing 12 tons, and inside of that is a leaden casket, hermetically sealed, weighing over two tons. Inside of that rests a mahogany coffin containing the remains of the great man." For a moment the American was silent, as it in deep meditation. Then he said, "It seems to me that you've got him all right. If he ever gets out, cable me at my expense." Cures Cancer, Blood Poison and Scrofula.

Suffered for a Long Time Without Relief—Doctor Was Afraid to Touch Them—Cured by Cuticura. "For a long time I suffered with sores on the hands which were itching, painful, and disagreeable. I had three doctors and derived no benefit from any of them. One doctor said he was afraid to touch my hands, so you must know how bad they were; another said I never could be injured; the third said the sores were not painful. I was in water in the dye-house where I work. I saw in the papers about the wonderful cures of the Cuticura Remedies and procured some of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. In three days after the application of the Cuticura Ointment my hands began to peel and were better. The soreness disappeared, and they are now smooth and clean, and I am still working in the dye-house. I, A. A. E. Maurer, 2340 State St., Chicago, Ill., July 1, 1905."

Gravel, whirling headaches, dizziness and terrible urinary disorders ran me down from 168 to 100 pounds. Doctors told me I had diabetes and could not live.

Read Carefully the Advertisements in this paper. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. THOMAS J. AKINS. It should be definitely understood, inspire of all arguments to the contrary, that Thos. J. Akins can no longer be fastened upon the Negroes of Missouri as their friend, or as a representative republican. Hundreds of prominent Negroes all over the state have signified their intention to fight the child of fortune from Humansville, Mo., to the last ditch, and if their wishes are ignored and overridden by the party, they will stay at home on election day. In spite of the stolid few, who follow in the timeworn rut, absorbing insults and injuries, the Negro, as a whole, will oppose vigorously such men as Thos. J. Akins, and the party in general must suffer if it fails to heed a timely warning. The day of two-by-four peanut politicians is at an end. The times demand broad, far-seeing, progressive men, who will, in a degree at least, respect the desires of the people. Mr. Akins is a failure as a leader; he is altogether too small for the national committee, and his retention in that body will do the administration and party no good. As small as is Mr. Akins' capacity, he has for several years hoodwinked the party into the belief that he is a political power in the state, when as a matter of fact Mr. Akins could not by his own magnetism control two hundred votes outside of his own native hamlet—Humansville, Mo. Let the republican party wake up; there are too many good men in the state for the party to be carrying this political mill-stone about its neck. Ask your friends if they read The Palladium. They miss the news and doings if they don't. WHAT ROOSEVELT SAYS WHAT ROOSEVELT SAYS "Laziness and shiftlessness; these, and above all, vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all acts of oppression of white men put together. The Colored MAN WHO FAILS TO CONDEMN CRIME IN ANOTHER COLORED MAN, WHO FAILS TO CO-OPERATE IN ALL LAWFUL WAYS IN BRINGING COLORED CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE, IS THE WORST ENEMY OF HIS OWN PEOPLE. Law-abiding black men should, for the sake of their race, be foremost in relentless and unceasing warfare against law-breaking black men. If the standards of private morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race then its future on this continent is secure. The stability and purity of the home are as vital to the welfare of the black race as they are to the welfare of every race.—Theodore Roosevelt. DR. W. D. DESHAY Of St. Salvador Congo, South Africa.
