LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1906. THE PROGRESSIVE STEAM LAUNDRY. The Progressive Steam Laundry has a move on foot to enlarge their plant which will enable them to almost double their present daily capacity. This show the success of this Negro enterprise and shows the loyalty in which our people as a race are awakening to the fact that the Negro must "hoe his own way" or else. With the success the laundry, is making now it will only be a matter of time before we will have a steam laundry large enough to compete with any one in the city, and we hope to see the time come when every Negro man and woman will go a little out of their way to help this Negro enterprise. As their work is now up to the standard. This being the only laundry in the city where a Negro has the opportunity of learning or working. Several of our young ladies have learned to operate the shirt machine and we have turned out two expert shirt finishers, especially Mr. Gibson, who with the experience he now has, is capable of handling a plant of this kind any where. We hope to see the time come when this enterprise will give employment to hundreds of young men and women—which does not seem far. They have had several distinguished visitors from all parts of the country who were surprised to see an enterprise of this kind in operation and owned by people of our color.

You will soon be called upon to select a central committeeman from this ward to represent you in the city central committee. It will be well for every voter to understand who the central committeeman is. In the first place he should be a man who thoroughly understands the wants of the ward. We have in this ward 500 voters or more. And these men are republicans by birth, and, by nature and, one to represent us should thoroughly understand our wants. Not only that but one we have known for many years. The late lamented Abraham Lincoln said, "It is bad to swap horses while crossing a stream." We are entering upon a life that is of vast importance to the country. So much so that our fearless chief of the nation, Theodore Roosevelt has outlined the policy and says to the republican party to give us a republican congress. You, the voters of the 14th ward, have had the leadership of Mr. L. S. Krammer for a number of years. He has always been fair and honorable to the Negro voters of this ward. He comes before you not as a stranger, nor as one who has just popped up, in the last few years, but one that has been with us for many years. We therefore ask that the republicans of this ward go to your voting precinct and cast your vote for a man that has been friendly to the republicans in this ward, and $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents; in the West.

Last Wednesday night a council of the United Council in St. Louis met and organized a grand council, which is better known as the advisory council, which tends to unify and unite with the three councils.

SIX SCORE FROM- CRUISER DEN- VER CAMP NEAR PAL- MA'S PALACE. UNFURL THE U. S FLAG When Washington Was Informed, They Were Ordered Returned to the Vessel Immediately Havana, Cuba.-Six score sailors from the United States protected cruiser Denver landed in Hanava Thursday night, and camped in front of old La Fuerza casle, facing the plaza de Armas, the little park in front of the presidential palace, which is the seat of the Cuban government. The Stars and Stripes were planted, and two field howitzers and two rapidfire guns were pointed across the park. The move was made so quietly and quickly that it caused the greatest surprise. The sudden landing of the American sailors, followed a conference between President Palma, Charge D'affaires Sleeper and Commander Colwell Thursday afternoon. Commander Colwell said to a press representative: "I have landed a force after consultation with those best advised as to the situation, and especially on the request of President Palma himself, who informed Mr. Sleeper and myself that he gravely doubted the ability of the Cuban government to protect American property and persons. I am not considering intervention or the protection of the palace or the president; I am simply being in readiness to protect American interests. I have telegraphed these facts to Secretary Bonaparte, and also the fact that I have offered asylum on the Denver for Americans who may desire to seek such safety." ORDERED BACK TO THE DENVER. Only a Small Guard Left at the American Legation. Washington, D. C.—It was officially announced here late Thursday night that the sailors who were landed at Hanava from the American cruiser Denver had been ordered to return to their vessel immediately, save for a small guard which will be left at the American legation. This action followed the receipt of an official report by Acting Secretary of State Bacon from Mr. Sleeper, the charge d'affaires at Havana, regarding the landing. Government officials declined to comment upon the action. Acting Secretary of State Bacon left on a late train Thursday for New York for a conference with President Roosevelt. Did Bonaparte Give the Orders. New York, N. Y.—Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte arrived here Thursday night on his way to Oyster Bay. When show the press dispatch from Havana to the effect that soilers of the armored cruiser Denver had been lended there, the secretary immediately entered into a telephone communication with Washington. The news conveyed in the press dispatches from Washington stating that an order had been issued recalling the naval landing party is believed to have been the outcome of Mr. Bonaparte's conversation over the telephone. An Offer to Surrender. Havana, Cuba. — Late Thursday evening Commander Colwell of the Denver was approached by an accredited emissary of Alfredo Zayas, president of the liberal party, and Gen Loynaz del Castillo, commander of the insurgents forces in Havana province, with a signed offer from each to surrender their commands to Commander Colwell, on condition that the United States government, through him, guarantee them fair judicial trials. Commander Colwell, accompanied by Charge d'Affaires Sleeper, immediately carried the proposition to President Palma. The president was immensely pleased, and asked Commander Colwell if he would accept the surrenders. The latter replied in the negative, but advised the president to communicate with the Washington government, which was done. Marines Landed at Cienfuegos Tampa, Florida.—A private cablegram received here from Cienfuegos, Cuba, states that marines from the United States gunboat Marietta were landed at that place Thursday to protect American interests. Havana, Cuba.—A dispatch from Cienfuegos says that the United States gunboat Marietta has debarked a detachment there. Cienfuegos is besieged by insurgents, and some of the fortifications have been damaged. U. S. Rights in Cuba. "The government of Cuba consents that the United States may exercise the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of government adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty, and for discharging the obligations with respect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States now to be assumed and undertaken by the government of Cuba."—Platt Amendment. New York, Aug. 30.—The preliminary statement of the Erie Railroad for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1906, made public to-day, shows gross earnings of over $50,000,000, an increase over the previous year of $4,277,000, and an increase in net of $1,547,000. Of the increase in working expenses, $2,730,000, an expenditure of more than one million dollars was in maintenance of the roadway, which was given an unusually liberal allowance of new steel rail and ties. Operating expenses during the same period had an additional charge of $1,000,000, in rehabilitating the equipment, the result being that the power has been placed in an excellent condition for increased business. The additional expenditures in the improvement of the roadway and equipment are manifestly in the right direction and are a direct addition to the assets of the Company. Not the least interesting showing is that the Company incurred an additional expense of only $100,000, in conducting the transportation of over $4,000,000, additional gross earnings. This is a further indication that the improvements which have been completed are producing the desired results in lessening the cost of transportation. About $2,000,000 of the Company's income was used for further improvements of the property during the year, an increase of $566,000 over the previous year. The Company is now better prepared to handle a largely increased business than ever before in its history. He had crossed her and she was in a dangerous mood. "See!" she hissed, pointing her finger at him, "see how you have worked up my feelings. Why, I am purple with rage." But the young man only smiled. "So becoming," he mused, softly. "What is becoming, sir?" "Why, the purple. It just matches that purple waist you have on." And the next moment she was all smiles and telling her girl friends that George was the cleverest chap in the world. Parasols for Parisian Horses. The Paris jehu, not noted for the mercy he shows his horse, is of the opinion that the sunbonnet is too hot for the beast. Therefore, some of the drivers have provided their animals with parasols, strapped to their heads. STOMACH PAINS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Brought Relief, and Cure for Splitting Headaches as Weil. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a remedy which has been before the American people for a generation, is still accomplishing wonderful results as is evidenced by the following interview with Mrs. Rachael Gardner, of Wilsey, Kans. "It was very strange," she says, "I never could tell what caused it and neither could anybody else. For a long time I had bad spells with my stomach. The pain would commence about my heart and was so deadly agonizing that I would have to scream aloud. Sometimes it would last several hours and I would have to take laudanum to stop it. Besides this I had a headache almost constantly, day and night, that nearly crazed me, so you see I suffered a great deal. And when I think of the agony I enforced it still makes me shudder. "Doctors," did you say? Their medicine made me sicker. I couldn't take it and I kept growing worse until a friend advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I did. I began to feel better and was soon wholly converted to this wonderful medicine. It did me more good than I had ever hoped for. I kept on with the pills and now I recommend them to all who suffer." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured severe cases of indigestion, bloodlessness, influenza, headaches, backaches, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness and spinal weakness. The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or any harmful drugs and cannot injure the mos, delicate system. At all drummers, or from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.

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.

They look after his health; they provide him bathing establishments furnished with every modern comfort—hot and cold water, vapor, doubles, friction. They appreciate his character, his fidelity, his frankness, and they regard him as food; they like him as a friend and as victuals. In Prussia alone in one quarter 526 dogs were recently killed for food—Le Journal des Debats of Paris. A Dream Burglar. A Patterson (Ga.) grocer dresed the other night that he had a sage with a burglar who had entered window of his room. The struggle came so real that the sleeper jump from his bed and tried to kick burglar out of the window. The ruse was that he lacerated his foot and on the glass, woke up and found self bleeding from numerous wounds. He is a total abstainer, and can account for his dream. Spread of Esperanto. "The other day, at the Cafe Napolitain, a favorite haunt of journalists and men of letters, French and foreign," says a Paris correspondent, "I sat beside three tourists—an Austrian, a Bulgarian and an Italian—who ignorant of each other's native tongue, talked in Esperanto. To me it was a revelation, in the sense that hearing or seeing a thing is so much more conclusive and impressive than reading about it." England's Telephones England has the most expensive and the worst telephone system. No other country is so badly served. Norway and Sweden do duty over again in the way that all telephone readers will remember, Australia is far, in advance of us, and on the continent there is no country where things are not infinitely better managed.—Electrical Review. Natural Question: A little Philadelphia boy was taken by his father for his first visit to the zoo. Stopping before an enclosure, he asked: "Papa, what animal is that?" Reading the sign tacked up to one side, his father responded: "That, my son, is a prong-horned antelope." "Kin he blow his horns?" was the question that promptly followed.—Exchange. Preserved in Alcohol. Notwithstanding statistics show the French village of Chailly to be the heaviest consumer of alcoholic liquors in proportion to population of any village of France, it is a fact that the little hamlet contains also the largest number of octogenarians.—American Wine Press.

One London Man Unafraid Every once in a while something happens to make us doubt all these prosperity stories. For instance, a man in London has offered for exhibition purposes to live 21 days on canned meat. The tolling of a bell at a funeral is a purely pagan custom. The idea was to drive away evil spirits.

The struggle became so real that the sleeper jumped from his bed and tried to kick the burglar out of the window. The result was that he lacerated his foot and leg on the glass, woke up and found himself bleeding from numerous wounds. He is a total abstainer, and cannot account for his dream. Signs of Social Preeminence. Mrs. Pod Ruggles, who lives down on Pea ridge, has become quite a social lioness. She gave a sassafras tea and pigs' feet luncheon last night to the ladies of the Jesokus society and it was quite a swell affair. She wore her tailor-made suit and Benicia diamond earbobs and presided with the grace of a queen. These Pea ridge social functions are becoming much talked about in neighboring towns.—Edgefield, S. C., Chronicle. Male Deterioration in England We women are to blame a good deal for man's deterioration. We do not exact enough from him. We admit cubs and boors to our houses, allow our ballroom walls to be propped up by impertinent youths, who find dancing "a bore," and refuse to be introduced to a girl until they have learned the probable amount of her dot—"Spinster," in M. A. P. Denouncing the Monocle. A single eyeglass is a thing in ita nature altogether monstrous and devilish. The man who can put a glittering decoration in one eye and not in the other is blaspheming the balance and decency of the human form. He is capable of wearing a trouser on one leg, or his mustache on one side of his face.—G. K. Chesterton, in illustrated London News. The nutmeg, properly clothed, is about the size of a peach and is an edible fruit. When ripe it breaks open in halves, and our warm friend, dressed in a scarlet undershirt, peeps out laughingly. The undershirt soon turns brown and is called mace.—Stewards' Bulletin. The Love of Lite. Horror of annihilation is so instinctive in us that from the throes of mortal agony it hurls us back, by a mad leap, into the ardent agitations of life. —Princess Aurelle Ghika.

Desert Reclaiming Its Own. Bokhara, the most populous part of Turkestan, is gradually being changed into a desert by the incursions of the sand dunes. Fish Staple Japanese Diet The Japanese eat more fish than any other people in the world. With them, meat eating is a foreign innovation. St. Petersburg is the coldest capital in Europe, the temperature in winter sometimes reaching 56 degrees below zero. Higher Than Mount Everest. Mount Everest is 29,002 feet high; but lately it is believed that two peaks behind Everest are actually higher than it, which hitherto has been considered the highest mountain in the world. Real Old-Fashioned Umbrella. There has been discovered at Greenock, England, an old-fashioned umbrella with whalebone ribs, which must be quite 120 years old. When opened it affords shelter for a whole family. Nutmeas. . THE CHURCH AT WORK THE SOUTHERN METHODISTS. Sentiment Strong Among Them for Union with Methodists of the North. Church union is in the air. It would be impossible to refer to all the suggestions and propositions made at the various church gatherings this year on behalf of the denominational combinations. Notable among all these appeals for unity was the address at the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, which came to an end at Birmingham, Ala., recently. This appeal was made by the vice president of the United States in his capacity as fraternal delegate from the northern Methodists. Among his words we select these: "I cannot refrain from expressing and emphasizing the hope which those who have preceded me in this brotherly mission have no doubt ventured to express—that the two great branches of Methodism in America may be consolidated into one mighty church, not in sentiment and in purpose alone, but in organization as well. . . . I do not know how long the followers of John Wesley will dwell apart in the United States. I have faith to believe that the barriers which still divide us are growing less formidable with the lapse of time, and that they will ultimately yield, and a union will be established between the Methodist-Episcopal church, south, thereby creating one of the greatest instruments for good in the entire Christian world. . . . May we not hope to see a united church, freely transferring its ministers between the north and the south, as well as between the east and the west? Such interchange between the various portions of our country will serve mightily to advance a wholesome national purpose." Mr. Fairbanks' hope was emphasized by his fellow delegate from the north, Dr. Matthew. The conference, however, did more than listen; it received with great enthusiasm the report of its committee on federation. The committee acted on the proposition of the inter-church conference on federation held last winter in New York for the establishment of a federal council of denominations in America. The report approved the plan and recommended the election of the requisite number to represent the church in the council. CHINESE IN SOUTH AFRICA. The Hordes at Work in Mines Afford Great Opportunity to Missionaries. Bishop Hartwell, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who has just returned from Africa to the United States, says that there are now about 50,000 Chinese laborers in the gold mines at Johannesburg. The number will soon reach 75,000, and probably in the near future, 100,000. He adds: "Under the immigration laws, which return the laborers to their homes at the end of three years, unless they desire to remain another term, the ebb and flow of the Chinese tide to and from the Transvaal will mean much to the laborers and to China itself. The already enormous demand for labor in the Transvaal is sure to increase far beyond the supply of native African labor, and the employment of white laborers as superintendents in these mines, to any large extent, seems impracticable. There are now about 100,000 native laborers in the mines. I recently visited Johannesburg, and studied the conditions of these Chinese laborers. They are well housed and fed, and cared for when sick; and they are learning their work." Surely, exclaims the Record of Christian Work, this is a great opportunity to give these men the Gospel, and to send them back to their own land, not with the white man's vices, but with Christ in their hearts, that they may become evangelists to their fellow countrymen. Can Repeat the Bible. William Frederick, Jr., a traveling salesman for a flour milling company in Duluth, Minn., claims to have committed to memory the entire Bible and that he can repeat any passage from Genesis to Revelations. He considers the Bible the finest of all books, always carries a portion of the Old or New Testament in his pocket, and for 18 years has devoted all of his leisure time to committing it to memory. When he is waiting for a customer, while he is traveling on the cars, or during his leisure hours at a hotel, while other drummers are playing billiards or gossiping, Mr. Frederick is studying his Bible, and that has been his habit ever since boyhood. "Why Didn't You Come Before?" A Nebraska missionary called on the parents of two boys who are serving their sentence in the penitentiary for stealing cattle. They said: "We have tried to bring up our children the best we know how, but this is the result of their association with evil companions. We were church members in Ohio, and went to church and Sunday school every Sunday, but that was 18 years ago. Why did you not come before? Now it is too late. If we had had church and Sunday school, probably our boys would not have been where they are." Constant Backache, Dropsy and Severe Bladder Trouble. Fred W. Harris, of Chestnut St., Jefferson, Ohio, says: "For over ten years I suffered from kidney disease. The third year my feet and hands would swell and remain puffed up for days at a time. I seemed to have a constant backache. Finally I got so bad that I was laid up in bed with several doctors kidney disease. The third year my feet and hands would swell and remain puffed up for days at a time. I seemed to have a constant backache. Finally I got so bad that I was laid up in bed with several doctors in attendance. I thought surely I would die. I changed medicine and began using Doan's Kidney Pills when I was still in bed. The relief I found was so great that I kept on until I had taken about ten boxes. The kidney secretions became natural and after years of misery I was cured. I have increased in weight, and show no symptoms of my former trouble." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. When Woman Isn't Young The report is that a local religious institution which is for "young women" has drawn the deadline of youth at 35. Every woman over that age will be marked 23 and requested to skiddoo. This is painful. It is unkind. What is worse, it is impracticable. We are glad the task is to be performed by women. No man nor set of men would ever have dared tackle such a problem—not they. This is simply another example of woman's inhumanity to woman. We have been told for many ages that a woman is as old as she looks and a man is as old as he feels. Just now, we say it with regret, most women look like 60 and most men feel like Methuselah. But the general rule seems a good one. It is a plain, unpalatable table that women will deceive as to their age as long as possible and then openly lie about it. There are many women who were born during the ravages of the civil war who still claim sweetly to be in the thirties. His Scheme Worked. It is related that a certain man was recently very sad because his wife had gone out of town on a visit, which she would not shorten in spite of his appeals to her to come home. He finally hit upon a plan to induce her to return. He sent her a copy of each of the local papers with one item clipped out, and when she wrote to find out what it was he had clipped out he refused to tell her. The scheme worked admirably! In less than a week she was home to find out what it was that had been going on that her husband didn't want her to know about.—Pittsburg Press. Many a man who asserts that he is not a hypocrite is so disagreeable that his acquaintances may wish he was. Hasty Nervous Chewing of Food the Cause of Dyspepsia If your teeth are fit, chew, chew, chew, until the food is liquid and insists on being swallowed. If teeth are faulty, soften Grape-Nuts with hot milk or cream, or allow to stand a minute soaking in cold cream. "There's a reason," as follows: Grape-Nuts food is in the form of hard and brittle granules, intended to be ground up by the teeth; that work not only preserves the teeth but brings down the saliva from the gums so necessary in the primary work of digestion. Many people say (and it is true) that when they eat Grape-Nuts they seem able to digest not only that food but other kinds which formerly made trouble when eaten without Grape-Nuts. Chew!!

Attorney William Fish is a candidate for judge of the court of criminal correction, subject to the republican primaries. We cheerfully recommend William Fish to the republicans of St. Louis as a true and tried republican. The Republicans of Missouri have placed a strong ticket in the field for the consideration of the voters. So far the state ticket is the best, and no Republican should doubt it. If every Republican will do his duty the ticket will be elected, along with the Congressmen from the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth congressional districts. The Republican state committee and the city central committee should place true and tried speakers in the field to speak for the people, that they may know the issues before them.

If you are not right, it will tell the people; if you are good, it will say: "Behold the upright man, or woman." Now send in your $1.25 and get the Palladium for one year. W. T. VERNON. W. T. Vernon, the United States treasurer, has complained about Cyrus Adams does not respect him as his superior officer. We do not think that Mr. Adams has any intention to insult the Rev. W. T. Vernon, for the routine business of the office does not place Mr. Adams in the class of social equality with the man Vernon. Mr. Adams represents not only a part of the people, but all, particularly the better class. The confirmation of a man by the senate does not give all these qualities that constitute a gentleman? We hope that the few Negro papers that are urging this on, will look a leedle out. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Troubles. --- PERSONAL. PERSONAL.

We offer a prize of $15 to any agent to give us 130 subscribers in two months, outside of allowing them 20 cents on every subscriber. Secure prize of $7.50 for any one of our agents to give us 75 subscribers in two months, outside of 20 cents on every subscriber. Third prize of $5, to any of our agents who will give us 60 subscribers in two months, outside of 20 cents on every subscriber. 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 detrimental 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 expects 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 removal 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 ignorant person on the plea of his ignorance. The Palladium is not seeking notoriety through scathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth without 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 article criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. Available cash balance in United States treasury $202,035,442. Mr. Charles H. Wheeler, general solicitor and collector for the Palladium. L WM. D. VENERABLE, Ph.D. Moderator of Berean Association. Berean Baptist Association met in regular session at Kirkwood, Mo. Aug. 19, 1906. The association was a most peaceful and prosperous Christian gathering. The attendance and collection is were good, and God witnessed His sanction to the assembly by His presence each day. The following officers were chosen for the ensuing year: "Moderator" Rev. Wm. Venerable, Ph. D.; Dr. Venerable is pastor of "Compton Hill" church, where, in October, the Baptist State convention will meet. He is also a member of the managing board of Western College, Macon, Mo., and has reflected great credit on Berean as moderator before. We are sure that his election will inspire hope of a better day in all the churches. Dr. Venerable issues a challenge to any minister of layman to debate before "all the people," or a "select few," his recent course in church and Berean affairs. Some of the leading White and Colored Baptist clergy, declare that Dr. Venerable's course is, with out controversy, absolutely Baptistic. Dr. D. A. Purnell and Rev. N. Martin, 1st and 2nd Vice Moderators; Deacon P. A. Buckner succeeded himself as treasurer of Berean. Miss Lucy M. Arnold, recording secretary. Miss Susie Edwards, corresponding secretary. Rev. G. A.

U., or better known as the Baptist Young People's Union, at the First Baptist church was broke up in a row last Sunday by Garfield Craven and C. E. Miller. A. W. Washington presiding. As we looked on we thought the most disgraceful act led on by two rufians of the deepest dye. These two coons who led the tumult are a disgrace to the First Baptist church. God save us from these rufians. FATAL NEGRO BIOT Inquest Checked By Fight When Spectators Are Driven Back. Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 13.—In a riot at an inquest over the body of Will Selby, a negro who was shot and killed by R. R. McDonald, a former policeman, C. C. Colum, a negro undertaker, was killed; his brother, Garrett Colum, was fatally injured, and Deputy Constable Ed Lindsey was cut several times. The second killing stopped the inquest. It was held in the undertaking parlors of Colum brothers, and when the deputy constables drove back the spectators who crowded into the room, a fight was begun. No one appears to know who fired the shot that killed Colum, and no arrests have been made. During the melee a pistol was snapped at City Attorney W. R. F. Paine, but it failed to discharge. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Special to the Palladium. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 13th, 1906. Dr. W. D. Venerable, moderator of the Berean association of St. Louis, and pastor of the Compton Hill Baptist church. Dr. Stevens argued that Dr. Venerable should not be accepted here in the national convention as moderator of the Berean association. But his proposition was rejected unanimously. Dr. Venerable is the coming man of the church.—Palladium Reporter. The dashing Mr. Simms of 2930 Manchester avenue, is always to the front. Last Monday night as the Palladium man was out looking for news, he was in company with a very charming lady. On Tuesday night he had two others from Mobile, Ala, at the New Park cafe. We would like to know who is Mr. Simms any way. It seems that he and the W. T. C., the old man, had a new one last Tuesday. When school closed last year, a school girl could be hanging to a lamp post and the dudes and rounders would not look upon her. Now they are getting a little bolder. We call upon Cooper and Logan to keep things clean and these Negro men and boys that have nothing to do but stand on the corners and watch school girls. Put them on the rock pile. We congratulate the Bontons who work down in the city. As you go from home alone to your work, come home by yourself, and don't have those dudes hanging around the corners after you. Oh, we know. Where is Frank Johnson, who formerly layed around the Douglass hotel? Answer: He is all right. He got a hundred dollars, which will keep him in the workhouse for one year. The dudes who formerly disgraced Lawton avenue are now working down in the city? How came they? Why, Logan told them to get to work or he would put them on the rocks. The lady in the 5100 block on Lindell block, had better keep off Jefferson and Morgan, as you will cause trouble. Your husband is on to you. Something will fall at 2617 Lawton avenue soon. Watch, wait and see. She is only waiting and watching for _____. You know who. A certain woman on Morgan street had better stay at home, as things are much muddled off your account. All the bon-tons are now working down town. We like to see it. NEGRO DUPLICITY. A few Negroes who have been running to Chicago, Ill., the Negro heaven, come back and say to the Palladium man: "I don't want the Palladium any longer, as I do not have time to read it. I will pay you soon and then I will begin to take the paper again." The Palladium man says to himself: "My money is gone, and she had to lie about it." I am always on to such. Mr. J. H. Kent, the barber, has moved his barber shop from 11 North 14th street, to 1417 Market. A splendid location for a first-class barber shop. Mr. Kent is always doing something to improve the business of the Negro of St. Louis, and that is the way to do it, by establishing new business enterprises among our people. A Barber Wanted For a Colored Shop and one for a White Shop. Salary for Colored Barber $12 to $15 per week. It pays Address Prof. F. R. Smith. Nicholson, Miss., for further information.

DEATH RELIEVED HIM OF HIS SUFFERING. Mr. George Fountain of 3005 Montgomery street, who suffered a stroke of paralysis, died, and was buried on Wednesday from St. Paul's church, Twenty-eighth street and Lawton avenue. We are glad, indeed, that during his short sickness he professed a hope in Christ, and we trust he is now basking in the light of his Maker, together with his sainted mother, in the heavens of leavens. This should be an object lesson to his friends who are left behind, that they may prepare for the final end. We had known him for thirty years. While in life he was kind and affable to all. So he lived in that way that all who knew him liked and respected him. He leaves many friends to mourn his loss. Grand Royal House Officers. A. D. Hyatt, M. E. G. Q., St. Louis. E. D. Hudson, M. N.

I am happy to be able to say it has helped me wonderfully." ```markdown ``` HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is caused by some irritating substance in the atmosphere during the late summer months. It is generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only rational cure. The use of Peruna, however, stimulates the nervous system to resist the effect of the poisonous emanations and sometimes carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Peruna* for this purpose. Those who do not find it convenient to change their location to avoid Hay Fever, would do well to give Peruna a trial. It has proven of priceless value to many people.

Above the stairway there flickered a candle and then a deep voice called from the shadows: "Katherine, Katherine. Who is that sandpapering the wall this hour of the night?" A long stillness and then: "No one down here, father, dear. I guess it must be next door." The candle vanished and then from the gloom of the parlor: "George, you big goose, I told you never to call on me unless you had been shaved." "Cut out hot cream of tartar biscuit" used to be a common, every-day remark among physicians when discussing patients. But alum baking powder biscuits are never mentioned in this respect. Why? Because it's the cream of tartar that is objectionable and injurious, and yet there are some people who to-day continue to use the old cream of tartar baking powder, and wonder why they are always ailing. No Fear. "Bridget," said Mrs. Hiram Offer, sternly, "on my way home just now I saw that policeman who was in the kitchen with you so long last evening, and I took occasion to speak to him—" "Oh! shure, that's all roight, ma'am," interrupted Bridget, "O'm not jealous Oi hv him cinched." War on Liquor and Tobacco. The Kansas Anti-Liquor Society has adopted a new plan to fight the liquor traffic. It is mailing free a recipe for the cure of the liquor habit. It can be given secretly in coffee or food. Also one for the tobacco baby that can be given secretly but request they make it that you do not sell the recipes, but give free copies to friends. Their address is Room 19, Gray Bldg., Kansas City, Mo. Arrangements were made to take a sunlight photograph at the bottom of the shaft of a mine 2,000 feet deep at Sombrerete, in Mexico, on June 21 the only day in the year when the sun shines there. Even then its rays touch the bottom of the mine for only three minutes.

The Good Roads Convention. The Good Roads Convention. With more than 200 delegates in attendance, Missouri's first good roads convention opened at Chillicothe, Livingstone county. The assembly was under the auspices of the state board of agriculture. The convention had for its prime object the better formation of an organization devoted to bringing about legislation for the betterment of roads throughout the state. The plan for state supervision of public road building and maintenance is similar to that in effect in many Eastern state. It provides for the creation of a state road engineer, an expert who shall advise with county courts in building better highways and for a state fund to be used in assisting in paying for such work. After remaining in session four days, the 200 delegates left for their homes with the understanding that another meeting will be called in Jefferson City while the next legislature is in session, when the energies is in session, when the good roads advocates will be directed toward bringing about a state constitutional convention. No attempt was made to perfect a permanent organization of the good roads advocates. It was agreed that the movement for highway betterment is safe in the hands of the state board of agriculture and would better remain in those hands until the winter meeting in Jefferson City. The convention was unique as a gathering of Missourians where subjects political were absolutely ignored. Even the speakers, several of whom were professional politicians, avoided any reference to partisan issues, or the relative merits of political parties. Two hundred delegates worked and visited together for nearly a week and finally went home without a single inquiry of, "What are your politics?" August Crop Report. The hot weather during the first part of the month brought satisfactory growth to a standstill. During the last ten days of the month the opposite condition prevailed, and now the condition of the corn is very encouraging. The recent rains have improved it wonderfully. The present average condition is 86, a gain of three points over last month and a standing of ten points above the five-year average. The greatest increase was in the southwest and southeast counties, gain seven and eight points respectively. The extreme southern counties, especially those of the southwest section, report a condition of 100 or better, while 15 of the counties north of the river fall below the low average of 77. The indications by the present forecast are that the acreage sown to wheat will be four per cent larger than last year, or that an area of 23,574,469 acres will be sown. At present 62 per cent of the ground for this crop is broken. The crop of oats was exceedingly light, the average yield per acre was only 22 bushels, which was the smallest average since 1901. The quality of the grain was only fairly god. The fruit crop is immense. In many localities peaches are given away, and nearly every county of the state reports a surplus of apples. Place for Missouri Student. C. H. Long, of Hallsville, Boone county, who paid his way in the University of Missouri by sawing wood and making furnace fires, has been elected principal of the Oklahoma School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy. This school is a state institution and a part of the University of Oklahoma in Norman. The principalship of this school corresponds to the head of a department of the university. Ozark Union Veteran Officers. The annual encampment of the Ozark Union Veterans' association at Lake Side park has closed a successful reunion in Howell county. West Plains was chosen as the place for the reunion next year. The new officers of the association are: Capt. D. W. Rees, president; J. A. Shepard, treasurer; B. R. Wescott, secretary; the Rev. G. W. Richardson, chaplain. . Tillman Refused Pay. Senator Tillman was asked not to deliver his prepared speech on the race problem at the Columbia Chautauqua. He spoke extemporaneously on the railroad rate question instead. Because he said his speech was a "bum" effort he refused to accept the $360 offered him by the Chautauqua management. Do Circuses Pay? The four circuses that have exhibited in Columbia this summer left $400 in license fees in the city treasury. It is estimated that they took $75,000 out of the county. New Court House at Gallitian. The contract for the new Davies county court house at Gallatin has been let. The building will cost nearly $70,000. . Their Plans Miscarried. "Somebody gathered statistics relative to the graduates of a certain college in Columbia for young women. They were asked at graduation what they planned to be. Seven said teachers, three artists, one a lawyer and one a missionary. Ten of the 12 are married and have 19 babies and there is hope for the other two. The girl who was going to be a missionary married first of all. Maybe that's what she meant.—Walter William's East Window. Missouri to Invite Cummins. In a conference between Secretary, Rippie of the Missouri state fair and Gov. Folk with reference to arrangements for "Governor's day," October 2, at the state fair, it was decided to extend a formal invitation to Gov. A. B. Cummins of Iowa to be Missouri's guest on that occasion. The invitation will include the officers and members of the Iowa state fair board. When Missouri's fair board visitee the Iowa state fair in Des Moines recently the members received a tentative promise from their Iowa co-workers to reciprocate the visit. Should Gov. Cummins consent to come he will be urged to remain over to Wednesday, "Fraternal day," to deliver an address and a reunion of ex-Iowans will be held on the fair grounds. Those in a position to know assert that 25,000 Iowaans have located in Missouri in the last ten years. Barred from Springfield Saloons. Soon after the triple lynching at Springfield, in April, half the saloons in town entered into an agreement not to sell drinks to negroes over the bar. Following the defeat of local option, nearly all of the remainder of the saloons notified colored patrons that drinks would be refused them hereafter. On several occasions negro applicants have been unable to obtain a dramshop license, and only recently Judge Neville declined to give a negro club a charter. Many of the saloons have discharged their negro porters and have employed white help. In many of the dramshops from which the negro has been barred the blacks are told that the price of drinks to them is 25 cents a glass for beer and 50 cents for whisky. Girls Waved Red Bonnets. An extra freight train on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway was partially wrecked near Clifton City and 31 head of five cattle were killed. Two young girls saved the train from being more disastrously wrecked. They noticed that one of the cars was partly derailed and they flagged the trainmen with their red sunnonnets. Engineer Berkheimer, looking towards the rear of the train, saw the derailed car, and putting on the emergency brake, stopped the train after one car had been turned upside down and four others derailed. A Promising Financier. A Putnam county youth stole a suit of clothes to be married in. When he was "nabbed" he tried to borrow money from the jailer for a marriage license and asked a minister to "stand him off" for the ceremony. The fact that the Standard Oil and the Steel trust are already organized may prevent this youth from ever showing what is in him. He Awakened His Guests A youth near Marcelina volunteered to wake up two boys, who, as guests, had spent the night in his home. He "didn't know it was loaded" when he seized a 22-caliber rifle. The guests awoke when the bullet passed through the shoulder of one and knocked out a handful of the other's teeth. Bologna Sausage Poisons family. Thomas Murphy, a farmer who lives about eight miles northeast of Albany and his family attended the Gentry horse show and bought some Bologna sausage for lunch. Later the entire family was taken violently ill and Miss Edna, their 18-year-old daughter, died, the attending physicians state, from ptomaine poison. Missouri Mayor Fined for Speeding. Policemen arrested Mayor Rubey of Macon for violating the auto speed ordinances. Officers kept time on him with a stop watch and the record showed he was going at a 16-mile-anhour clip. The mayor pleaded guilty complimented his appointees and paid his fine. Big Yield of Oats. And here's another big yield of oats for old Holt county, raised by one of our best farmers, says the Mound City Jeffersonian. Joe Groves threshed 23 acres of oats that yielded 63 bushels per acre, machine measure, and which weighed out 70 bushels per acre. We want to see the color of the fellow's hair who can beat it. The Ozark Veterans' Reunion. The annual encampment of the Ozark Union Veterans' association at West Plains had a large attendance. Senator William Warner was the principal speaker. Mr. Corn Married Miss Sprout There was an unusual combination of names at a recent wedding in Chillicothe, when James Cora, of Wheeling, married Miss Sarah Sprout, of Galt. An Ousted Official Sued. As a result of the decision of the supreme court in the contested election case from Phelps county, wherein the court held that the inmates of the federal soldiers' home were entitled to vote, thereby ousting A. B. Hale, democrat, and seating William Stimson, republican, as collector of Phelps county, Stimson has filed suit in the Phelps county circuit court against Hale for $2,701.03, covering commissions on delinquent taxes since 1901 and commissions on personal taxes for 1905.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience with women's diseases covers twenty-five years. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, and for many years under her direction, and since her decease, her advice has been freely given to sick women. Following we publish two letters from a woman who accepted this invitation. Note the result: First letter. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For eight years I have suffered something terrible every month. The pains are excruciating and I can hardly stand them. My doctor says I have a severe female trouble, and I must go through an operation if I want to get well. I do not want to submit to it if I can possibly help it. Please tell me what do. How can I relieve me?"—Mrs. Dimick, 598 and E. Capitol Streets, Washington, D. C. Second letter. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— After following carefully your advice, and learning Lyne E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound, I am very anxious to send you my testimonial, that others may know their value and what you have done for me. States of Brazil. Politically, Brazil is divided into 21 states (including the federal district), but so unequal is the division that three of these embrace practically her entire lowlands, as well as a portion of the western uplands, and exceed in area the remaining 18, which lie within the highland region, except for their narrow margins upon the coast. These latter, however, contain more than 96 per cent. of the population. Seeking Only Bare Justice. Creditor—So you've come around at last to pay me what you owe me, have you?

"They," The "chief priests and scribes and elders" mentioned in 11:27. "Herodians." The two sets of men would come as the advocates of opposing views upon the question they presented. "To catch him." As one in hunting would catch a wild animal. The word used by Matthew in this connection bears the thought of entrap- ning one as by a snake. "In his words." Better, "in talk," referring, not to the words of Jesus, but to those of his questioners, which were, they calculated, so artfully arranged that Jesus must by his answer offend one party or the other. V. 14. "Master." They acknowledge themselves ready to accept Jesus as their teacher. "We know that thou art true," etc. Note the flattery. "Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar?" By tribute was meant the annual poll tax levied for the treasury of the Roman emperor, upon each of his subjects. Jews, who claimed that they lived under a theocracy, God alone being their King, looked upon payment of tribute to the Roman as disloyalty to the divine government. If Jesus answered "Yes," he would offend not only the Pharisees, but the mass of Jews, who hated the Roman government; if he said "No," he would offend the Herodians and arouse the whole Roman power. V. 15. "Shall we give or not give?" Not a repetition of the first question, but one asking direction in personal practice. "Hypocrisy." "Wickedness" (Matthew); "Craftiness" (Luke). The word used by Mark comes from one whose literal meaning is acting. "Bring me a penny." A denarius, the chief silver coin of the Romans, worth about 17 cents. V. 17. "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's." Pay the Roman government for the advantages it affords you by paying the tax it levies. Both Caesar and God have claims upon each, and he who would be honest will pay both. "To God the things that are God's." Man was made in the image of God. He should therefore render him the sincere worship of "heart, soul, strength and mind." V. 18. "Sadducees. Say . . . no resurrection." They denied the existence of a spiritual world, hence the doctrines of future life for man, rewards and punishments, or the resurrection of the body. V. 19. "Moses wrote unto us," etc. A reference to what is styled the Levirate law. It is given in Deut. 25:5, 6. Vs. 20-23. "There were seven brothers," etc. A supposable case, with which doubtless they had often puzzled the Pharisees, who held very materialistic ideas about the future life. V. 24. "Jesus answering said." We note that Jesus speaks in a different tone from that he used when addressing Pharisees (Mark 11:27-33). The Sadducees as yet knew little of him; their mistakes were those of ignorance rather than of malicious intent. Jesus points out that their confusion of thought in the case just cited arises from two causes: Ignorance of Scripture, and lack of appreciation of the power of God. He goes on to speak of the last named first. V. 25. "When they shall rise." When God shall raise the dead. "They neither marry," etc. The future life will not be a mere continuation of the present, nor under the same conditions. God's power will be shown in transforming the material body into the glorious spiritual body, of which Paul so well tells in 1 Cor. 15:39-44. "Are as the angels." Note that human beings do not become angels, but in the heavenly world they live under similar conditions. Note also that Jesus in his reply touches the various points upon which Sadducees held erroneous ideas. Vs. 26, 27. "The book of Moses." The Pentateuch. "How in the bush," etc. Better in Rev. Ver. "in the place concerning the bush"—that is, in Ex. 3:1-6, where is told how God appeared to Moses in the burning bush. "The God of Abraham," etc. There are two ways of interpreting this argument. First, God's declaring himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is more than a statement that these men had believed on him while they lived. It certainly implies that they are still living, since "He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living." Second, it is God's saying, If I, the eternal God, loved the Patriarchs and was loved by them, I could not have allowed them to perish utterly. "Given the fact of God, the resurrection of man follows." Thus the Sadducees also were silenced. Practical Points. V.14. If we keep right with God we can be fearless among men.—Matt. 10:28. V. 15. The hypocrite may deceive himself and others, but his heart is open to God.—Luke 16:15. V. 17. The true Christian will be strictly honest in his dealings with all men.—Rom. 13:7, 8. V. 24. Most of our difficulties would vanish did we but know the Holy Scriptures as we should.—2 Tim. 3:15. V. 26. Jesus' continued life is an as surface of our.—John 14:19.

The man who preaches the best sermon; the man who tells the funniest stories; the man who keeps the best store; or the man who makes the best goods, soon finds that people come to him. Merit is the best advertisement in the world. People speak well of things they know are good. They pass the good word along. The best breakfast food is "EGG-O-SEE, for it contains all the life-giving properties of nature's best food, which is Wheat. EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the thousands of wives and mothers who use it in their homes, for these good women tell their neighbors about this great food. Children and aged persons alike are friends of EGG-O-SEE. Merit and common sense are things that advertise EGG-O-SEE most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10-cent package contains ten liberal breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere. Grocers must keep it if they want to keep their good customers, for good customers insist on buying EGG-O-SEE. The fact that no preparation, no cooking, is required, makes EGG-O-SEE very popular. Open the package; put in as much as you like in a dish; pour on milk or cream and eat. It is delicious. It is wholesale. It makes you strong. A lot of interesting facts about EGG-O-SEE have been published in book form entitled, "—back to nature." This book also has a course of physical culture—fully illustrated. Anyone wishing this book will receive it free by addressing EGG-O-SEE Company, 10 First St., Quincy, Ill. THE CORNISH TIN DEPOSITS. Great English Industry Still Capable of Big Production. Though the Cornish tin deposits have been worked from the dawn of history, experts hold that vast quantities are still to be found in this metalliferous soil. In the past twenty years Cornwall has been badly hit by the development of tin mining in the Straits Settlement. The fall in the price of the metal caused the closing of many of the Cornish mines, and incidentally led to the migration of "Cousin Jacky," as the Cornish miner is known, to every quarter of the globe. It seemed indeed as if mining in the duchy had received a blow from which it could by no possibility recover. A few mines managed to survive, notably Dolcoath, which earned a modest profit even in the lean years when tin varied between £60 and £70 per ton. With the metal nearly treble that price, it is not surprising that speculators and prospectors are turning avid eyes to this westernmost county. The enhanced price of tin is likely to be permanent, for it is due to natural, not artificial, causes. Tin is the rarest of all the metals, and the world's consumption has now outgrown the supply. The world's production has averaged, in recent years, 75,000 tons, of which more than one half has come from the Straits Settlements. About 15,000 tons per annum come from the Dutch East Indies; 5,000 tons from Cornwall; 5,000 tons from Australasia, and a similar quantity from Bolivia. Tin is scarcely found at all in Europe or in the United States. HOW MANY OF US? Fail to Select Food Nature Demands to Ward Off Ailments. A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nervous prostration set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the necessity of some change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape-Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. "In a few days my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. "My former attacks of indigestion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was distressing, with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. "Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods in quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles originated I returned to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly. "I am now in prime health as a result of my use of Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed We are wont to speak of this era as the "age of iron," and there is no gainsaying that, industrially speaking, iron is a "precious metal." Nevertheless, few people realize how useful, if not absolutely necessary, to modern civilization, is that other metal, lead. Soft, yielding, pliable, it is not much like its sister metal, but those distinguishing qualities are what give it such a prominent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requiring many turnings and twistings, but withal tight joints, would be almost impossible without lead pipe. The greatest civilizing agent in the world—the printing art—is absolutely dependent on lead. Hand-set type, linotype "slugs," monotype type—all are made of compositions of which lead is the chief component—to say nothing of the bearings in the presses as well as all other kinds of machinery in which "babbitt" metal is used. Solder is another lead product—what a field of usefulness that one form opens up. Then there is the most important use of all to which lead is put—paint, that necessary material which keeps our houses looking pretty—inside and out—and preserves them from decay. How many of us thank metallic lead for the comforts of paint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but metallic lead corroded by acid to a white powder known as "white lead." Of course, there are many imitations of "white lead," some of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the name of ready-prepared paint under the familiar pretense that they are "just as good" as white lead. But all good paint is made of the metal, lead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with flushed oil. White lead is also used in the coating of fine oil cloths and for many purposes besides paint. "Red lead" is another product of metallic lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning the metal. Red lead is the best paint known to preserve iron, steel or tin, and is used largely in painting metal structures, such as skyscraper skeletons, mills and bridges. There are many other products of the metal lead, such as litharge, orange mineral, etc., which are essential to many of the arts in which we never imagine that lead would be of the least use. Verily, we live in an age of lead as well as of iron. Twelve Good Rules. Speaking of rules: Do you remember or can you recollect the "Twelve Good Rules" of King Charles I.? They are worth pasting in your hat for daily perusal, in case you do not care to memorize them: 1. Urge no healths. 2. Profane no divine ordinance. 3. Touch no state matters. 4. Reveal no secrets. 5. Pick no quarrels. 6. Make no comparisons. 7. Maintain no ill opinions. 8. Keep no bad company. 9. Encourage no vice. 10. Make no long meals. 11. Repeat no grievances. 12. Lay no wagers.—New York Press Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. "I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E. Wilson, Liscomb, Iowa.

Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omma, Nob., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Fletcher.

For one of limited means the poultry business offers greater inducements than any other. Parties who can not venture into the more expensive branches of live stock breeding have unusual advantages in the poultry business, among them being the fact that poultry and eggs are always saleable and at high prices. Fowls rapidly multiply, and this fact enables one to begin in a small way, and gradually extend and increase the operations, while a single individual is capable of attending to and caring for a very large number. No poultry business is complete, however, without an incubator. Young chicks are more profitable than anything connected with such business, and an incubator enables the poultryman to hatch whenever he desires, without being dependent upon the whims of the hens. Eggs, too, will pay a large profit to those who make a specialty of them, and should not be overlooked. The best capital that can be devoted to the business is careful management and the use of thoroughbred stock. To attempt to make poultry pay with the use of scrubs will be useless.
