Mr. Charles Grimes, of Lexington, Ky., is another one of Lexington's good citizens. He is a cousin to the Palladium man, and his wife is a deeply dyed Baptist. I sometimes think, while she is contesting the Baptist creed, that the devil will come and get her soul. Mr. L. B. Blackmore, of 1559. Graptist street, has been a very sick man for several weeks. His mother, Mrs. C. Blackmore, came to see her son all the way from Hepler, Kansas. Behold how she loveth that son. She left last Monday for her home, as her son is much better.

Let us all be on hand to do good work. Miss Sadie Coates, of Kansas City, Mo., is visiting Mrs. Carrie Dawson, of 3136 Pine street. The young men of St. Louis have made it very pleasant for this Kansas City lady, together with the landlady, who has bestowed ovation after ovation upon her. We were sorry, indeed, to learn of the death of one of our old acquaintances, and a most lovely child, Miss Pentie Benton, of 2605 Morgan street. We were in Lexington at the time and we were struck almost dumb to hear of the death of this young lady. Mr. James Grimes, of 203 East 7th street, Lexington, Ky., is one of Lexington's good citizens and has some of this world's goods. He made an impression upon the Palladium man, over fifty years ago, who was then a child, and even now he often recalls his words—so let our words and our actions be just so to all children, so that a good impression may be made.

This is the lady whom several men tried to persuade to go to the Baptist Sanitarium for treatment, but the two did not succeed. Dr. Manisfee performed the operation and she left last Monday for her home. We hope that she will soon be a strong, healthy woman. Mrs. Arlina C. Watson, Grand Secretary of the Grand Temple of S. M. T., is, we believe, one of the best off-handed speakers that is in the State of Missouri. At the National convention she electrified that vast audience of 2,500 people. All hail to Missouri's daughter. She is a chip off the old block. REV. T. H. PRILLIPS. Lexington, Ky., has some of the best doctors in the country. They all bear the term doctor in its full meaning. Doctors J. E. Hunter, P. D. Robinson, N. J. Ridley, J. M. Allen, T. T. Wendell, Cooly and Laine. Dentists: J. B. Barrow and others. We have two or three men in St. Louis where the term "doctor" is misapplied. They ought to apply the term, "Feeder for the grave yard." C. H. TANDY. Past Grand Master S. M. T. U. B. F. NATIONAL GRAND LODGE Never in the history of any order in this world, was there a more flagrant disregard of the manner and assumed authority of a Grand Secretary as there was made for the past three years in our National Grand Secretary's office. Without any law or authority, over $1,300 was used at the will and pleasure of the one in charge of that office. The report of the National Grand Secretary did not close the eyes of the delegates of that National Grand Lodge. C. E. SCULL. Past National Grand Princess. Was present at the National Grand Temple.

The graduating exercises of the Shorthand class will take place at Central Baptist church, Twenty-third and Morgan streets, August 30, 1906. The graduates are Miss M. L. Jones, Mr. J. J.

By being present on Sabbath next, you will hear both, what there is in each of the subjects, and what there is in each of these men as scholars and orators. Public Amanuenses and General No- taries. Mr. Vashon's 18 years' experience in the tax and license division of the comptroller's office in the recorder of deeds, licenses and other municipal departments and in realty circles, together with his extended and thorough classical and legal training, eminently fit him to successfully conduct such a business as he has entered upon. Geo. B Vashon & Co., are prepared to accurately draw deeds, agreements, contracts, wills, petitions, bills of sale and all commercial and legal papers. They adjust accounts; conduct correspondence with precision; revise manuscripts; manipulate business schemes successfully, and make safe investments for their patrons. Though barely established, this firm has already contracted for three years' notarial service for the Usona Supply Co., and has been so retained by other concerns of equal commercial magnitude.

One of the strangest things in life is the short-sighted Negro in business. They think that as soon as a Negro sets up a business of any kind, that all Negroes should stop trading where they formerly traded, and flock to them. This is a mistake, men and women who go into business should not expect this, but go into business with the determination to build up a trade. We are American citizens and on that plea we should have and keep our white friends, as well as our Negro friends. In many places where Nego men and women are doing business they charge more for their goods than the whites; then if you don't pay it, they say you have no race pride. Now is the time that becomes broad-minded and we should be considerate in all things. JOHN B. VASHON, Secretary of the Great Western club, which will give its last steamboat excursion, Monday evening, August 20, 1906, on the City of Providence.

Arrested In Canada, Where He Had Fled, and Taken Direct to Prison —U. S. Court Holds National Honor Involved. New York, Mr. Charles E. Browne, former examiner of silks in the government customs service in this city, has been ordered released from Sing Sing by Judge Hough, of the United States court, on a writ of habeas corpus. Browne was recently brought back from Canada, where he had fled, after giving ball, and was taken direct to prison. His counsel claimed this was in violation of the extradition treaty between the United States and Canada, in his opinion discharging Browne from custody. Judge Hough declared that there is no authority vested in the United States government to seize or hold a person extradited in pursuance of treaty provisions except upon the charge on which the extradition was granted. Opinion of the Court. The court declared: "This doctrine rests not only principally upon the civil rights of a fugitive criminal, who has been returned in accordance with an increasingly civilized international law, but upon the grounds of national honor, imposing upon this government the obligation to deal with the human being entrusted to it by a friendly foreign power only with respect of the matter by reason of which he was so entrusted." SEC'Y ROOT AT BUENOS AYRES. Given a Hearty Greeting at the Capital of Argentine. Buenos Ayres. — Despite a heavy downpour of rain, immense crowds assembled at the docks to witness the arrival of Secretary of State Root and his party, who were received by the minister of marine and foreign affairs, accompanied by Mr. Beapure, the American minister, and his secretary.

The streets and almost every house were decorated with American flags. Severe Storm In Southern Indiana Evansville, Ind. — The most severe storm in many years has visited southern Indiana. The rainfall in this city amounted to more than two inches in less than an hour. Three buildings were partially wrecked by the storm. Water stood in some of the streets to the depth of a foot or more. The property damaged will be heavy. Hetty Green's Son For Governor. Houston, Tex. — The faction of the republican party of Texas, known as the "reorganized," held its state convention here. H. H. R.

T., who was shot dead about a month ago by Ben Steward, was avenged when unknown persons shot Steward from ambush, killing him instantly. Dewey Succeeds Robert B. Roosevelt New York. — Admiral George Dewey has been elected governor general of the Order of Founders and Patriots of America to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Robert B. Roosevelt. Reporter Francis H. Smith Dead. Washington, D. C. — Francis H. Smith, one of the first official reporters of congressional debates, died at Washington, Conn., where he was born March 11, 1829. CHEERED THE GOVERNOR SOUTH CAROLINA MOB THEN LYNCHED A NEGRO. "Bob" Davis, Who Assaulted a White Girl, Riddled with Bullets—Quick Work. Greenwood, S. C., Aug. 17.—"Bob" Davis, the negro who assaulted Miss Jennie Brooks near here, Monday, was lynched here at seven o'clock. Gov. Heyward made a strong appeal to save the negro, but the mob was determined, and shot the negro to death. Shortly after the negro had been captured, a platform was erected in a fence corner on the premises of the victim's father, and from it Gov. Heyward addressed the mob. The governor was cheered, but the mob removed the prisoner from the view of the governor and riddled him with bullets. The militin in that section of the state is now encamped at Chickamauga, and there were no nearby troops to be called upon. The governor's guards and the Richland volunteers of this city had been ordered to hold themselves in readiness in the event that their services were needed, but the mob acted too quickly. The Governor's Speech. "I know," he said, "that nothing could take place that could keep you from hearing from the governor of South Carolina. I come here alone, not bringing any troops. Only two newspapermen came with me, and they, as well as I, are South Carolinians, just as you are with like feelings. "It is my duty to enforce the laws of South Carolina. Don't cheer, men. This is a solemn occasion, and I am very much in earnest. I came to appeal to your manhood. The question is, shall the people be allowed to be ruled by their passions and prejudices, or shall the supremacy and the majesty of the law be upheld? I promise you on my honor that a speedy trial as the law allows shall be held. I would not object to cutting the rope to hang that scoundrel, provided the law says so. "I represent the state of South Carolina, your state and mine, and I say to you, I beg you, I emplore you in God's name not to put another stain upon our fair state. I feel just as you do. I have lived in the country, and realize the dangers to which our women are constantly exposed; but there is something higher than the wreaking of vengeance of that black devil and fiend of hell. You won't enjoy it tomorrow when you look back upon it all." Here some men came up to the stand and said: We have stood this thing long enough." The Negro's Crime. The assault by Davis on Miss Brooks was made in her father's store, where she was a temporarily in charge. After making some purchases, the negro grasped a meat knife, shouting, "You are what I want!" and sprang toward the girl. Miss Brooks attempted to defend herself with an iron bar, but the negro slashed her across the throat, and almost several two of her fingers. After that he went to a farm and outraged a 14-year-old negress. A posse of a thousand men started in pursuit of the negro and captured him near Ninety Six, nine miles from here. Why They Were Jailed.. Peoria, Ill. — Rudolph Pfeifler and S. A. Knopjhnagel, socialist leaders here, were kept in jail at Brimfield for several hours because they attempted to make public answer to an attack on socialism by Senator Wm. K. Barnes, of Peoria. Kermit Roosevelt In South Dakota. Deadwood, S. D. — Kemit Roosevelt, with his young friend, John Heard, have arrived here for a visit with Capt. Seth Bullock, United States marshal.

New Orleans. — The statement sent out from Brook Haven, Miss., August 13, that Mrs. Agnes Birdsong, charged with killing Dr. Thomas H. Butler, at Monticello, Miss., is a niece of exGov. Longino, is unfounded. Broncho Paces Mile In 2:02.

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 orilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW.

It is wonderful how complete and rapid has been the change in the attitude of our churches within the past quarter of a century. No one can fail to notice how denominational lines have been swept away and how sectarian differences and teachings are being disregarded, the churches now trying to emphasize points of agreement rather than a difference and are working harmoniously together for moral and humanitarian ends, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Theology and doctrine have been sent to the rear, and it is recognized that the true work of the church is here and now, in making this world a happier and better place for everybody to live in, on a basis of unselfishness and brotherly love. In this effort agnostic and churchman. Jew and infidels are working together, and what a man believes is regarded as of comparatively little consequence. "O'er creeds and forms let sensless big-ots fight. He can't be wrong whose life is in the right." Has come to be recognized as good sense and pretty safe theology. It is under these conditions that the growth of the churches is taking place in our time, and the figures given for 1905 are interesting. They are given by an ecclesiastical statistician as follows: In the year 1905 the total number of communicants was 31,148,445, a net gain for that year of 519,155. This membership was distributed as follows: Roman Catholics first, with 10,785,496, net gain 192,122; Methodists second, with 9,428,815, gain 102,892; Baptists come third, with 4,974,047, gain 72,667; Lutherans fourth, with 1,541,346, gain 51,580; Presbyterians fifth, with 1,723,871, gain of 1,428; Disciples of Christ sixth, with 1,325,294, gain of 1,428; Episcopalians seventh, with 827,127, gain 19,203; Congregationalists eighth, with 687,042, gain 13,321; Reformed (Dutch and German) ninth, with 405,022, gain 4,021. In their percentage of increase they stand in this order: Lutheran, .028; Episcopalians, .023; Congregationalists, .019; Roman Catholics, .017; Methodists, .015; Presbyterians, .05; Baptists, .014; Reformed, .008; Disciples of Christ, .001. Methodists and Baptists are doing most for the negro in the south, and are very strong in that section. The Baptists' growth in the north, where they number 1,075,833, was but 4,864; but the Methodist Episcopal church North, 2,910,779 strong, had a growth of 62,847. A GOOD SHOWING. Gratifying Record of the Congregational Home Missionary Society. The Congregational Home Missionary society held its eightieth annual meeting recently. This organization had been a self-perpetuating body, empowered at the expiration of a term of service to elect new members to succeed to the offices. At the Oak Park meeting this was so far changed that hereafter each contributing state society will have a voice in the constitution of the body. Four out of every five of the 7,000 Congregational churches have been brought by it to self-support. In connection with its auxiliaries it has raised and expended $23,401,523. During the past year $130,000 has been added to the endowment of the society, and the increase of gifts for the current work of the year was $70,000. It employs 1,641 missionaries who have during the year preached at 2,216 stations. during the year 5,100 converts have been added to these home missionary churches. Forty-five churches have been organized during the year and 57 houses of worship completed. Forty-one young men connected with the home missionary churches are preparing for the ministry. Missionaries as Bible Translators. Rev. J. S. Dennis has recently stated that the number of translations made by missionaries covering the entire Bible—including three versions now obsolete—is 101; number of additional translations by missionaries covering the entire New Testament—including 22 versions now obsolete—127; number of additional languages into which missionaries have translated only portions of the Old and New Testaments—including 15 versions now obsolete—254; the resultant total being 482, to which may be added the versions prepared by transliteration. Mission of Sorrow. "Let sorrows and sadness come; they bear in their hearts the golden flower of higher enlightment. Let friends censure or forsake us; we cannot lose anything that is really ours. As externals of all sorts fail or disappoint us, the Great Heart draws us closer to itself. We are attuned to the music of the spheres; we join in the Song of Life with glad voice, our tones enriched by the experiences through which we have fought our way to this Chamber of Tranquillity. Nothing can disturb the soul that is enclosed in the Eternal." AN OLD PAINTER'S IDEAS. The autumn season is coming more and more to be recognized as a most suitable time for housepainting. There is no frost deep in the wood to make trouble for even the best job of painting, and the general seasoning of the summer has put the wood into good condition in every way. The weather, moreover, is more likely to be settled for the necessary length of time to allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, a very important precaution. An old and successful painter said to the writer the other day: "House owners would get more for their money if they would allow their painters to take more time, especially between coats. Instead of allowing barely time for the surface to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,' several days (weeks would not be too much) should be allowed so that the coat might set through and through. It is inconvenient, of course, but, if one would suffer this slight inconvenience, it would add two or three years to the life of the paint." All this is assuming, of course, that the paint used is the very best to be had. The purest of white lead and the purest of linseed oil unmixed with any cheaper of the cheap mixtures, often known as "White Lead," and oil which has been doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn oil or other of the adulterants known to the trade are used, all the precautions of the skilled painter are useless to prevent the cracking and peeling which make houses unsightly in a year or so and, therefore, make painting bills too frequent and costly. House owner should have his painter bring the ingredients to the premises separately, white lead of some well known reliable brand and linseed oil of equal quality and mix the paint just before applying it. Painting need not be expensive and unsatisfactory if the old painter's suggestions are followed. ANYTHING FOR FILTHY LUCRE Writer's Cynical Justification of Mean Piece of Work. A certain gifted writer of whom it was once said that he wouldn't recognize his wife if he met her on the street wrote a charming love story not so long ago, and it was printed in a popular magazine. His friends and all those of the circle in which the author moved recognized the story as an exact and recent transcript from the life of the writer, involving a very beautiful young woman, also well known in the same set. One man, coming across the author, took him to task for it. "What in the world did you write up that affair with Miss Blank for?" he demanded. The author looked at him unmoved and with the same exquisite calm and clearness that characterized his work, replied: "I needed the money." FINEST TROUT IN THE WORLD Found in Small Stream in the High Sierras, Says Expert. The finest trout in the world, says Dr. Barton W. Evermann of the bureau of fisheries, is to be found in a little stream of the high Sierras in southern California called Volcano creek. The trout is named the "golden trout," and in beauty of coloring gameness and delicacy of flavor it has no equal. So far as is known, it exists only in this stream, which is about 20 miles in length. President Roosevelt recently called attention of the bureau of fisheries to this unique specimen, with the result that Dr. Evermann was sent to California to study its habits and environment and to see whether it might not be introduced elsewhere. He reports that the trout is in danger of extermination and that fishing in the stream must be prohibited by the state of California for three years if the trout is to be saved. Dr. Evermann has also recommended that the bureau of fisheries undertake the artificial propagation of the trout and co-operate with the state of California in translating it to a number of barren streams that can be easily reached—National Geographic Magazine. A WINNING START. A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes Nerve Force for the Day. Everything goes wrong if the breakfast lies in your stomach like a mud ple. What you eat does harm if you can't digest it—it turns to poison. A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast. She says: "Two years ago I contracted a very annoying form of indigestion. My stomach was in such a condition that a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg gave me great distress. "I was slow to believe that trouble could come from such a simple diet but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for my morning meal. For more than a year I have held to this course and have not suffered except when injudiciously varying my diet. "I have been a teacher for several years and find that my easily digested breakfast means a saving of nervous force for the entire day. My gain of ten pounds in weight also causes me to want to testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. "Grape-Nuts holds first rank at our table." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

WE WANT GOOD AGENTS. WRITE FOR PRICES, TERMS, ETC. The manager of the Palladium has been most severely criticized for the persistency with which he publishes articles, displaying the corruptness of many of our so-called best (?) people. ‘What some of our race desires is the “squashing” of any incident detri- mental to its so-called leaders, because of the class to which they belong. ‘The question arises as to the duty of a newspaper. The public gains its knowledge of the world through the columns of its newspapers and it ex- pects truth from them. It is the height of injustice to cater to an individual, because of the class into which he has been fortunate enough to intrude himself. To a race attempting to climb the ladder of public's good opinion, and reach the pinacle of success in being recognized as a race worthy of a chance, the exposure of any person whose morals are not what they ought to be is just as essential as the re- moval of a rotten apple from a barrel of good ones. We expect more from our enlightened and educated people. We could excuse an immoral act on the part of an ig- norant person on the plea of his ig- norance. ‘The Palladium is not seeking noto- riety through seathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth with- out consideration of class or favor, It has been in vogue since 1883, and the manager is too well versed in the laws of journalism to publish an arti- cle criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. a Lo 3 : oS = a : a“! 4 : . , Reb | Re es Same a Y. M.C.

Summer resorts are, when summarized, largely made up of weather, water, scenery, sky and sentiment. There may be fish in the water and special ozone in the atmosphere but these are luxuries, not necessities. A fine outlook plus an advertising agent has made many a summer resort. This is true of Colorado and Michigan and the Atlantic coast and everywhere that women go for the summer and men do follow them. Of only Missouri is this not true. For Missouri, which has scores of spots suitable for summer homes, has found no advertising agent to sound their praises. As a result, there are from Missouri this August thousands of Missourians summering in other states while no stranger comes within our borders to breathe Missouri air and bask beneath Missouri skies. The weather comes first in any well-regulated summer resort as in any well-regulated conversation. It is the vestibule to serious talk, as it is the prime essential of the resort. Has it occurred to the summer resorter to examine the temperature records for Missouri? The thermometer is mostly a nuisance but in the present regard it is a helpful friend; the normal July temperature for the last ten years in Missouri has been 77.5 degrees. This figure is vouchered for by George Redder, director of the Missouri weather service. His statement has the conservatism of governmental authority. This normal temperature varies two or three degrees in the extreme southern from the extreme northern counties. The August temperature is 76.2, not higher than July, as most Missourians are apt to believe, but over a degree lower. The July temperature is only 73.8 degrees. The average for Missouri is more favorable than in many states which set themselves up in the efflorescent guide books as summer resorts. These figures are the average temperatures for the whole state. They do not exclude the superheated cities and they include the cooler regions of the Ozarks. It is worth while remembering the goodness of the state's weather as a whole when there is some particularly atrocious bit under consideration.—Walter Williams. Missouri's Anniversary. The state of Missouri has entered upon the eighty-sixth year of her existence as a sovereign commonwealth of the American Union. She was admitted as the twenty-fourth state by proclamation of President James Monroe, August 10, 1821, and is therefore 85 years old. When Missouri was admitted, the original 13 states had not been doubled in number. The war of 1812 had been concluded only a few years. The child born when Washington died was only entering his majority. The Mexican war was a quarter of a century in the future, and the sons of men born when Missouri was admitted were old enough to take part in the war between the states. Since Missouri was admitted, the 24 states have grown to 46 great commonwealths and the most inspiring pages in the history of the country have been written. On them the names of Missourians have been inscribed large, and now Missouri enters upon a new era of advancement. Gave Whisky to Convicts. Gave Whisky to Convicts. Frank Bowman, secretary of the state board of charities, who came to St. Joseph to make an investigation of the charge made by Warden Hall that convicts from St. Joseph were delivered to the state pententillary July 25 so drunk that they had to be put to bed, completed his work there and left for Jefferson City. Bowman had an interview with Sheriff Sampson at the conclusion of which he said: "Sheriff Sampson admitted to me that he gave some of the prisoners whisky. He told me that he gave some of the men drinks, but he said that if any of them got drunk he did not know it." A Young Girl Tries Suicide. Miss Lou Williams, 17 years old, attempted to end her life and was fatally injured by stepping in front of a passenger train on the Missouri Pacific railway at Crane. She was despondent over a love affair, and this is the second time in the last few months that the young woman has attempted suicide. A Dog Fired the Gun While sitting in a buggy in front of a drug store in Independence Joseph R. Benge, of Kansas City was shot in his right foot. A dog in the buggy jumped off the seat causing a shotgun in the bed of the vehicle to be discharged. Secretary Shaw at Columbia.; Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury, addressed 3,000 people at the Columbia Chautauqua recently on the protective tariff. A Fine Yield of Wheat. A field of wheat in Nodaway has been threshed showing a yield of 52½ bushels to the acre. At 60 cents a bushel it paid its owner more than $30 an acre, almost enough to pay for the land. Independence the Swine Center. Since the thoroughbred hog "Lord Bacon" sold for $3,000 at Independence, the Sentinel claims for that town the title of the "swine center of the world." Other towns seem willing to let it have the title. State's Wealth in Fruit. The surplus apples, melons, peaches, berries, pears and other fruit of the 114 counties of Missouri for the year 1905, if placed in barrels and the barrels were piled one on top of the other the column would reach 520 miles into the air. According to the figures of the state labor bureau, if all of the surplus fruit for that year was placed into regular size barrels it would take 1,098,517 barrels to hold this portion of the crop. It must not be forgotten that this is only the surplus portion. Figuring that half of the crop of 1905 was consumed at home by farmer families and their immediate neighbors, to hold the entire crop it would have taken 2,197,034 barrels, and this number piled on top of each other would have extended 1,040 miles upward. According to the figures of statisticians of the state labor bureau, the surplus fruit crop of 1905 sold in the market at wholesale for $4,834,827. In other words, this is the amount paid farmers for what they shipped or hauled to market. Estimates place the worth of the entire growth at $9,700,000. And this is less than the figures for the 1906 crop, as the present fruit season will break all Missouri records. The 1906 report of State Labor Commissioner William Anderson has some interesting data on Missouri as a fruit state. It took a total of 6,866 average size freight cars to haul the 1905 crop to market. The weight was 119,926,621 pounds, which made up 137 trains with a total of 137 locomotives to move this mass of wealth. The following table from Labor Commissioner Anderson's 1906 report gives the classification of fruit, the value of each variety and the amount: Melons, 3,893,185, $389,3188; straw- berries, 1,220,093 crates, $2,196,167; dried fruit, 984,722 pounds, $78,777; apples, 384,978 barrels, $977,136; rasp- berries, 185,492 crates, $389,533; cantaloupes, 170,830 crates, $170,830; blackberries, 166,677 crates, $258,352; plums, 150,291 baskets, $17,809; grapes, 114,736 baskets, $25,241; peaches, 82,767 baskets, $20,692; pears, 11,485 baskets, $2,297; miscel- aneous fruit, 5,143,092 pounds, $308, 585; total value, $4,834,827. Good Roads Proclamation Good Roads Proclamation. Gov. Folk, through George B. Ellis, secretary of the state board of agriculture, issued the following proclamation relative to the interstate good roads convention to be held at Chillicothe Setember 3 to 8, to members of the county courts, road officers, commercial organizations and kindred associations in Missouri: The subject of good roads is of vital importance to the state and it is one in which every citizen interested in the development of the state should be concerned. It has been represented to me by the secretary of the state board of agriculture that a good roads convention will be held at Chillicothe from September 3 to 8 next. This convention will consider the subject in all of its phases; if properly attended the results of the meeting should be most beneficial in bringing about the end so much desired. Upon the suggestion of the secretary of the state board of agriculture I earnestly ask the members of the county courts, all road officials, commercial organizations and each association of whatever kind organized in aid of the developments of the state of Missouri to appoint two delegates to attend the good roads convention to be held at Chillicothe at time indicated. The programme of the convention will be instructing to all interested in matters relating to public roads. To Sell the Salmon Property. To Sell the Salmon Property. Daniel F. Blake, trustee in bankruptcy for the Salmon & Salmon bank, and Isaac P. Ryland, trustee in bankruptcy of the estates of Dr. G. Y. Salmon and Maj. H. W. Salmon, have published legal notice of the sale of the real estate of the estates to hold under an order of Judge Phillips Monday, September 18, Judge Phillips orders that the town tracts in Clinton shall be sold separately and then the county tracts will be sold in congressional subdivisions. Then the town tracts will be ordered in a lump and the county tracts in a lump, the most advantageous bids being accepted. Successful bidders will have to deposit a certified check for 20 per cent when the property is knocked down to them. A Farmer Goes Insane. J. N. Norman a farmer living five miles northeast of Golden City, recently became suddenly insane and was taken to Greenfield. The cause seems to have been the unexpected meeting of an old time pal, "Texas Jack," a self-confessed train robber and outlaw. Norman's mania took the trend of religious enthusiasm. To Paint Missouri Depots. Announcement is made of improvements to be made by the Missouri Pacific on the main line between St. Louis and Kansas City at once. All depots, section houses, roundhouses, freight depots, yard offices and tanks will be repainted. The road bed is to be widened at many points and new tracks laid. Every bridge and culvert will be put in first class condition, and parks will be laid at several stations, to be beautified with flower gardens. The improvements will cost many thousands of dollars.

Smokers Shown by Handwriting. Mr. Saunders, a former schoolmaster, told the British house of lords committee on juvenile smoking that he could detect smokers by their handwriting—that of boys who smoked being a loose, flabby kind. Handwriting, he said, was a cinematograph of the heart. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, "e much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Grocer Was Getting Even. "That was tit for tat with a vengeance," said Walter Christie, the automobilist, apropos of a quarrel between two French chaufeurs. "It reminds me of a grocer I used to know in Paint Rock. This grocer went over to the jeweler's one day to get a new crystal put on his watch. The latter as he fitted and cleaned the crystal suddenly flushed. He bit his lip and frowned. His hand trembled so that he could hardly go on with his task. Finally, handing the watch to the grocer, the jeweler said in a restrained voice: 'Beg pardon, but didn't I just see you put a couple of rings and a scarfpin in your pocket?' "Sure you did," said the grocer, boldly. 'When you come to my place aren't you always putting things in your mouth?" SORES ON HANDS. Suffered for a Long Time Without Relief—Doctor Was Afraid to Touch Them—Cured by Cutiura. "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 cured; and the third said the sores were caused by the dipping of my hands in the 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. Mrs. A. E. Maurer, 2340 State St., Chicago, Ill., July 1, 1905." NOTRE DAME ALWAYS CHARMS Visitors Never Tire of Beauty of Famous Cathedral. Often as I have seen Notre Dame, the marvel of it never grows less. I go to Paris with no thought or time for it, busy about many other things; and then, on my way over one of the bridges across the river, perhaps, I see it again on its island, the beautiful towers high above the high roofs of houses and palaces, and the view, now so familiar, strikes me afresh with all the wonder of my first impression. The wonder only seems greater if I turn, as I am always tempted to, and walk down the quays on the left bank, the towers before me and with every step coming more and more completely together, by the Pont Neuf, to the island, and at last to the great square where Notre Dame fronts me in its superb calm.—Elizabeth Robins Pennell, in The Century.

And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, ulceration, falling and displacements or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing backache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. They especially require an invigorating, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism. Miss F. Orser, of 14 Warrenton Street, Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering; she writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I suffered misery for several years with female irregularities. My back ached; I had bearing-down pains, and frequent headaches; Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Comp I could not sleep and could hardly dree around. I consulted two physicians without relief, and as a last resort, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to my surprise, every ache and pain left me. I gained ten pounds and am in perfect health." Miss Pearl Ackers, of 327 North Summer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I suffered with painful periods, severe backache, bearing-down pains, pains across the abdomen; was very nervous and irrita- ble, and my trouble grew worse every month. "My physician failed to help me and I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found it was doing me good. All my pains and aches disappeared, and I no longer fear my monthly periods." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the unfailing cure for all these troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all its horrors will no more crush you. Backache, dizziness, fainting, bearing-down pains, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society—all symptoms of the one cause—will be quickly dispelled, and it will make you strong and well. You can tell the story of your sufferings to a woman, and receive helpful advice free of cost. Address Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years she hrs, under her direction and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge.

There were very likely other listeners. “A parable.” Being a par- able, the story is designed to illus- iraie the truth at one point only. “10 this end.” For this purpose. This par- able and the following: are the only ones which have, as Matthew Henry says, “the key hanging at the door.” The evangelist explains just what they were calculated to teach. V. 2. “A judge.” “Feared not God, neither regarded man.” He had no high motive to govern his life, but Was vprighteous in personal character, and vutrue to the duties of his of- fice. V. 3. “A widow.” It is understood that che was poor, unable to bribe the judge, utterly destitute of power to appeal to any motive that could have force with the wicked man. V. 4. “Would not fora while.” He was uterly indifferent of whatever op- pression was being inflicted upon her. Possibly he was a friend of'her en- emy, or had been bribed by him. V. 5. “Because this widow troubleth me.” The one person in all the uni- yerse that he cared for was himself, and becatise his personal ease was dis. turbed, he decided io act, “I will avenge her,” Wilt make her enemy cease tormenting her. “Lest... she weary me (wear me out).” The orig- inal of the verb is peculiar. It means Iiteraily to strike under the eye, Ip 1 Cor, 9:27 it fs translated buffet. It is scarcely supposable that the judge fanciel the widow would get some one to do him bodily injury, but he used the strong word to express his great annoyance. “Her continued coming.” Here 1s the point of the parable, . 1 V. 6. “And the Lord said.” Jesus thus applies the parable to the truth he would teach. ‘V.? “phall not God.” If an unprin- cipled man will thus yield to the im- portunity of one in whom he has no interest, will uot God, who is right- eous and just and kind and loving, an- swer persistent prayer? V. & “Avenge them speedily.” Per- haps not soon, but suddenly. That is the wey God has always worked. Elec- tricity is long gathering in the clouds, but its coming is a flash of light- ning.” V. 9 “Certain.” Possibly some among his own disciples had the seli- righteous spirit. V. 11. “Pharisee stood.” He posed himself in a conspicuous attitude, feel- ing he had the right to face God, and wishing to be seen of men (Matt. 6:5). “I am not as other men.” God had siven him Detter advantages and wider oportunities than had been srantel to many} he should have prayed for grace to use these in the best possible way. V. 12. “I fast twice a week.” Only one fast day in the year was required by law. (Lev. 16:29-34). To this some of the Pharisees had added private fasts, on Monday and Thursday of each week. V. 1, “Afar of” At a distance from other worshipers who pressed 2s near as possible to the holy place, “Would not lift up... unto Heayen.” “The Jews generally looked up while praying, and stood with arms out- spread and their palms turned upward, as though to receive the gifts of Heaven.” “Smote upon his breast.” ‘This was one mode prevalent among orientals for expressing great grief. ‘The original indicates that he did this repeatedly. Vv. 14. “Justified.” Forgiven, re- ceived into the family of God, and treated as a just person. “Rather than the other.” Though the publican had been verhaps the greater sinner, yet, confessing and forsaking his sin, he Was saved; while the Pharisee held to his sins, covered them with the robe of self-righteousness, offered no prayer for forgiveness, hence his pre- tended worship had no real value. “Humbleth .. . exalted.” He who feels his own insufficiency is in such an attitude that God can lift him to nobler living.

Slnal, the “Turquoise Land.” Sinai was known as the “turquots land” in very ancient times, and Dr. Flinders Petrie believes that it was the first mining center in the world. In his recent book on the subject Dr. Petrie tells of the various expeditions sent to Sinai by the Egyptian govern- ment. At the head of the party was the “commander,” or “bearer of the seal of the god,” the Pharaoh. The official staff consisted of “masters of the house of metals,” or assayers, scribes and secretaries, to make in- yentories of the output of the mines. ‘The University of Notre Dame, tt Pears, Nag some features that ca not be uplicated in any other school.

Charles C. Druedling, of Philadel- phia, has written an article for the ‘American Journal of Pharmacy on the subject of chamois skins. What {s known in the market as chamols skins, he says, is really an oil-tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The supply of skins from the chamois animal is very Mmited—enough could not be obtained in a year to supply the United States for more than a single day. He made special inquiry on a recent visit to ‘Switzerland about the annual crop of the chamois skin and ascertained that from 5,000 to 6,000 skins would be a fair average yearly crop. This skin is heavier than the skin of the sheep or lamb, also much coarser. For strength ‘and durability the chamois skin is pre- ferable, but for ordinary use and ap- pearance the ofl-tanned sheep skin Ining would, in most instances, be preferred. , AN OLD TIMER. Has Had Experiences. A woman who has used Postum Food Coffee since ft came upon the market § years ago knows from ex- perience the necessity of using Pos- tum in place of coffee if one values health and a steady brain. She says: “At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffer- ing from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I de- cided to take his advice and try Postum, and got a sample and had it carefully prepared, finding it deli- cious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial ef- fects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dys- pepsia. “My husband had been drinking cof- ‘fee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum 1s delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. “We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stom- ach. To make a long story short our entire family have now used Postum for eight years with ‘completely sat- isfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health: and we have no- ticed a rather unexpected improve- ment in brain and nerve power.” Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. _ Increased brain and nerve power al- ways follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a ver? marked manner. Look in pkgs. for “The Road to Wellville.” . Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed THIEVING SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF Robins Successfully Defend Nest Against Marauder. A pair of robins proved too much for a marauding squirrel in Independ- ence square yesterday. While on a midair cruise he suddenly stopped as though something special had attract- ed his attention, and then he came down the tree in a slow, unconcerned manner. The secret was out when he shyly began the ascent of another oak, in the branches of which a pair of the redbreasts had built their nest. His little eyes glistening and his whole manner that of a thief, he moved up the tree trunk, and had al most reached the little blue eggs in the nest when the mother bird and her mate saw him and flew down from their upper perch. They were on Mr. Squirrel in an instant, and the fur flew when their beaks got into action. ‘The retreat of the squirrel was quick- ly effected. ‘The watchers were amused. Then a second time the rob- ber advanced, and was so successful as to get one of the eggs in his paws before the birds came to the rescue. ‘The squirrel was nonplussed, as he couldn't back down with the egg with the birds pecking him, and he was loath to relinquish his hard-won prize. His hesitation was fatal, though, as the birds, with a concerted rush, fair- ly shoved him out of the nest, and the robins followed him so quickly and furiously that the egg was dropped and smashed on the ground. The squirrel then gave up his purloining expedition.—Philadelphia Record. BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING. It Is Dedicated by the W. L. Dougias Co. at Brockton. The dedication a short time ago of the new administration and jobbing house building erected by the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of its mam- moth manufacturing plant at Montello was marked by the thoroughness and attention to detail characteristic of the firm in all its undertakings. ‘The dedicatory program included open house from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. with concert by the Mace Gay orches- tra and the presence of a Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of all. The building itself afforded a feast for the eye, especially the offices, which are marvels in many ways. Fifteen thousand invitations were sent out, including over 11,000 to the re- tail dealers in the United States who handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes, the others going to shoe manufactur- ers and all allied industries in Brock- ton and vicinity. Mr. Douglas will be glad to have anybody who is interest- ed call and inspect the new plant, and says “the latch string is always out.” All departments of the plant were ‘open for inspection, the three factories as well as the new building, and vis- itors were received and escorted through the industrial maze by ex- Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads of the various departments. Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order, and cus- tomers sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive. With the new Jobbing house they will be enabled to have their hurry orders shipped the same day they are received. ‘The new building is 260 feet long and 60 fect wide and two stories in height. The jobbing department will occupy the entire lower floor, while the offices will occupy the second floor. The jobbing department will carry a complete stock of men’s, boys’, youths’, misses’ and children’s shoes, slippers, rubbers and findings equal to any job- bing house in the country. Buyers are especially invited to come here to trade, and every effort possible will be made to suit their convenience. There will be a finely appointed sample room on the second floor, with an office in which both telephone and telegraph will be installed, with operators, both Western Union and Postal Telegraph wires to be used. There will also be arrangements for the receipt and des: patch of mail. Intoxicants in Vegetables.

We have nothing to say this week about the two Baptist gatherings of this week. One in Kirkwood and on> in St. Louis. We will soon give our ideas, so watch Palladium for full par- ticulars of same. Next week we want to go to Colum- bia, Mo., and I trust that I will be al- lowed to sleep in some home in that village and come away alive, as I did not get a tent to camp out; however, by the grace of the publisher of the “Professional World,” I hope I may be permitted to stop in some part of that village. The Colored people of St. Louis are learning to patronize Colored business men. They show it by the liberal manner in whica they are supporting the new gents’ furnishing store ot Randall & Wells, at 2230 Market street. Among those who are worthy of special mention are the Johnson Bros. and Mra, Adams, of 2225 Wal- nut street; Mr. Nelson Pope, of 2223 Market street, and many others that we could mention. We have heard it said that Colored people will not pat- ronize a Colored man in business, but the way they are trading with Randall & Wells proves that tae statement is unfounded. ° 9 pon We will be campelled to put on this mule some. of our part of men who got us to do some printing for some picnic to the amount of $3.00. Now if you all don't cough up, we will put the whole gang on cur Palladium mule. NOTICE. NOTICE. Mrs. Annie B.
