THE NEW YORK TIMES JOE GANS, the Champion Lightweight. Vol. XXII. No. 45. Is Now THE HON. C. E. Who is Taking an Active Pa PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR LODGE Order of Elks No. 90 and Parker Lodge No. 5, Benevolent Order of Buffaloes, gave a banquet at the Oriental club Friday evening, October 12, in honor of Joseph Gans, of Baltimore, Md., champion lightweight of the world. Mr. Gans is the unquestioned champion in his class, and a perfect little gentleman. He has good qualities, and is so unassuming in his plain way that the St. Louis public love him in the theater and out of the theater. As to the banquet, it has never been equaled in the city, and what's more, we certainly believe it will never be equaled in this century. The table was bedecked in flowers of all kinds and the cut glass and silver were as fine as ever graced a Colored gathering before. The menu consisted JOE GANS, the Ch of seven courses, with an assortment of wines that were all imported. Geo. W. Holt was chairman of the select arrangements committee, assisted by Wm. H. Fields, who specially prepared the programme and menu. The programme and menu had a photograph of the great little champion on the outside page, and was a beauty, besides being something new and never seen before in our great city. J. Arthur Freeman was toastmaster of the evening, and after a ten-minute speech of the two orders and WRIGH ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1906. distinguished guest, he introduced St. Louis' noted Colored physician and surgeon, Dr. S. P. Stafford, the exalted ruler of the Elks, whose subject the toastmaster selected—"Negro Doctors of the Past and Present Day." The doctor made a great and eloquent talk, which brought forth thundrous applause. Next was U. S. Bolen, the druggist, whose subject was "Medicine." Next came W. H. Fields, the exalted prelate of the Buffaloes, whose subject was "Politics." He was followed by Dr. J. W. Clellan, whose subject was "The Doctor." He made a masterly talk on Negro doctors. Then the toastmaster called on Joseph Gans, the champion, and honored guest, and he made a great talk, and what was most pleasing, remarked that he would always be the champion. ampion Lightweight. Prof. W. D. Flowers and his great orchestra of 25 pieces furnished sweet music for the occasion. Mr. George W. Holt was then called by the toastmaster to explain the most successful race track plunger—the man that bet his own money or bet another person's money. Mr. Holt, in opening his address, said that undoubtedly the man that bet another man's money was the most successful, amid great applause. Toastmaster Freeman then called on the chaplain for the Lord's Prayer. HT & B which was repeated by the guests, and the banquet adjourned sine die after a hearty handshake with the champion. The banquet was served by St. Louis' best caterers, Messrs. Dorr & Leller. Guests present: J. C. Lucky, James Harrison, Harvey Davis, Charles F. Overton, George O'Neil, Archie Farrell, H. Robinett, Stephen Smith, Little Walker, W. T. Curtis, George L. Harris, George Buck, B. J. Owens, P. P. Turner, Tom Bass. LETTER TO THE COL- ORED VOTERS OF ST. LOUIS. In the nomination of the Hon. John J. Manton for the clerk of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction, no one can say other than that he has always proved himself to be fair in all matters pertaining to the Colored people of this city; in fact, the color of a man's skin cuts no figure with this distinguished young man, who has performed the duties of that important office for which he now seeks re-election, with such credit to himself and fairness to all, regardless of color, that in casting your vote for John J. Manton for clerk of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction you will be showing your appreciation of having a friend in the office where so many of our people come more or less in contact. And we should go to the polls on November 6 and return Mr. Manton to the office of clerk of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction. A COLORED VOTER. LOUIS NOLTE, Republican Nominee for Sheriff. Louis Nolte, the republican nominee for sheriff of St. Louis, is the right man for the office. He is a manly fellow of Rooseveltian ideas. In fact he is one of President Roosevelt's stanchest supports for another term in the presidential chair. He is a young man null of life and ambition, and has made a success in life, although only 35 years of age. He was born in St. Louis in 1871, and has resided in this city all his life. He started to work at an early age for August Gehner & Co., the real estate firm, and remained in their employ 12 years. Saving enough to start for himself, he is at present one senior member of the firm of Nolte & Willmann, at 2207 North Broadway, doing nicely in the real estate business. Two days before the republican convention he had no idea of receiving the nomination for sheriff. He was never a candidate for the position until his party called him, and in answering that call he believed he was doing his duty. He was heartily indorsed by Congressman Bartholdt, Otto Stifel and all the republican leaders. He is a personal friend of President Roosevelt, and received a congratulatory wire on his nomination for sheriff of St. Louis. Mt.

When men of some note come to St. Louis they should stop with some Negro residents, or some place where there will not be so much paper talk. We are not anxious about being a mixer with other races. Patrick H. Clarke, sheriff of St. Louis, has since the convention cut off many good and true republicans, but left good and true democrats in his office. We presume that is politics in the eyes of Patrick Clarke. Mrs. J. E.

The $30 that was given to a Negro of the Fourteenth ward by the committeemen to line up all the Negroes in the ward, we hope, will have its desired effect. It is a hard thing to get money from a man who wants it himself. We take pleasure in mentioning the name of Mr. F. W. Klusmeyer, who is the republican nominee for state senator in the Thirty-second district. We ask for him your support. So far as we know he is a true, good man, so work at the polls and vote for him.

All Transactions Confidential St Louis Phone: Olive 891 CONFERENCE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND SECRETARY TAFT DISCUSS IMPORTANT MATTERS. THE TRIP TO PANAMA Will Go in New Armored Cruisers Unaccompanied by Cabinet Member or Other High Washington—President Roosevelt had a long conference with Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon, who made a full report of all that occurred in Cuba since the United States government intervened to restore order. The financial feature of the intervention was taken up, and the possible appointment of a fiscal agent for the United States discussed. It is expected that some responsible banking institution will be selected for this purpose. President's Trip to Panama. Panama matters also were discussed. It has been decided to appoint a governor as well as an American minister of Panama, although the president is not yet ready to announce the names of the persons selected. When Gov. Magoon was at the isthmus he filled both positions. Secretary Taft will not accompany the president to the isthmus. The present expectation is that the president will be unaccompanied by any member of this cabinet or other high official. Secretary Taft said that he believed it will be impossible for him to make the projected trip to Panama with the president. The president, however, will go as originally planned, and it is understood that the voyage will be made with the two new armored cruisers, Tennessee and Washington. Results of His Mission to Cuba. Speaking generally of the results of his mission to Cuba and the prospects for the political future of that island, Secretary Taft said that success had been attained in one important point at least, namely, the fighting had been stopped, and he did not believe that it would be renewed, even after the withdrawal of the American forces. The secretary hoped that it will be possible to recall Gen. Bell to Washington in the course of a month or two. The report that Gen. Pershing will succeed in command of the American forces in Cuba is erroneous, according to Secretary Taft, as the command is too large for a junior among the brigadier generals. Length of American Stay in Cuba. The secretary presented his usual attitude when the question of the length of time of American stay in Cuba was brought up, and said it is impossible to make any prediction. When the bad feelings stirred up by the revolution have subsided, and there is ample assurance that elections can be held without violence, and with a disposition to abide loyally by the results on all sides, then only will the retirement of the American forces be in order. Secretary Taft said that it will take three or four weeks to install the new government after the elections. Relative to the disposition of the military and naval forces in Cuba, he said that it has been decided to withdraw as soon as possible a number of marines. The marines will be replaced by soldiers, and the number of these, originally fixed at 5,600 men, will probably be increased to about 7,000. The secretary declined to state what proportion of the expense of this army will be charged against the Cuban revenues, but said that that matter will be treated in a special order which he will issue soon. Important Pythian Decision. New Orleans—The supreme tribunal of the Knights of Pythias handed down a decision annulling the expulsion of a memer from Freedom lodge, Worcester, Mass., on the charge of having negro wood in his veins. The cas was remanded to the grand lodge or Massachusetts. The Manchuria at San Francisco. San francisco—At the end of a long ten days' trip from Honolulu, under convoy of the United States battleship Wisconsin, the Pacific Mail steamer Manchuria has arrived. The boats was on rocks near Honolulu. The Supreme Court Vacancy. Washington—President Roosevelt will take up in a few days the vacancy in the supreme court of the United States caused by the retirement of Associate Justice Brown. Taft continues non-committal. Apaches Call on Taft. Washington—Three Apache Indians, representing the 250 Indians on the Geronimo band, held prisoners at Fort Sill, Okla., called upon Secretary of War Taft and urged that they be allowed to take up lands. Got All the Money in the Bank. Nowata, I. T.-Burglars blew open the safe in the State Bank in Talala, 12 miles south of here, at 3 a. m., and got $2,702, all the money in the bank.

WOMEN WHO CHARM HEALTH IS THE FIRST ESSENTIAL It Helps Women to Win and Hold Men's Admiration, Respect and Love Woman's greatest gift is the power to inspire admiration, respect, and love. There is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men than mere regularity of feature. Mrs. Chas. E. Brown To be a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her husband, should be a woman's constant study. At the first indication of ill-health, painful or irregular periods, headache or backache, secure Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and begin its use. Mrs. Chas, F. Brown, Vice-President Mothers' Club, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "For nine years I dragged through a miserable existence, suffering with inflammation and female weakness and worn out with my health. I learned the lesson by a woman suffering as I was, but who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I determined to try it. At the end of three months I was a different woman. Every one remarked about it, and my husband fell in love with me all over. I was a very good gardener, and I poured up built up my entire system, cured the trouble, and I felt like a new woman. I am sure it will make every suffering woman strong, well and happy, as it has me." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular periods, backache, bloating (or flatulence), displacements, inflammation or ulceration, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, or nervous prostration may be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia. E-Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS. They Are of the Greatest Benefit to Growing Flowers. Prof. Darwin said that if it had not been for insects we should never have had any more imposing or attractive flowers than those of the elm, the hop and the nettle. Lord Aveybury compares the work of the insect to that of the florist. He considers that just as the florist has by selection produced the elegant blossoms of the garden, so the insects, by selecting the largest and brightest blossoms for fertilization, have produced the gay flowers of the field. Prof. Plateau, of Ghent, has carried out a series of remarkable experiments on the ways of insects visiting flowers. He considers that they are guided by scent rather than by color, and in the connection he is at variance with certain British naturalists. Whatever may be the attraction in flowers to insects—as yet, it appears undefined—it is certain that the latter visit freely all blossoms alike, making no distinction between the large, bright-colored ones and the less conspicuous blossoms like those of the currants, the lime, the planetree, the nettle and the willow. A scientist has made some interesting observations as to the love of different wild animals for the sea. The polar bear, he says, is the only one that takes naturally to the sea, and is quite jolly when aboard ship. All others violently resent a trip on water. The tiger suffers most of all. Horses are very bad sailors, and often perish on a voyage. Elephants do not like the sea. NO DAWDLING. A Man of 70 After Finding Coffee Hurt Him, Stopped Short. When a man has lived to be 70 years old with a 40-year-old habit grown to him like a knot on a tree, chances are he'll stick to the habit till he dies. But occasionally the spirit of youth and determination remains in some men to the last day of their lives. When such men do find any habit of life has been doing them harm, they surprise the Olserites by a degree of will power that is supposed to belong to men under 40 only. "I had been a user of coffee until three years ago—a period of 40 years—and am now 70," writes a N. Dak. man. "I was extremely nervous and debilitated, and saw plainly that I must make a change. "I am thankful to say I had the nerve to quit coffee at once and take on Postum without any dawdling, and experienced no ill effects. On the contrary, I commenced to gain, losing my nervousness within two months, also gaining strength and health otherwise. "For a man of my age, I am very well and hearty. I sometimes meet persons who have not made their Postum right and don't like it. But I tell them to boll it long enough, and call their attention to my looks now, and before I used it, that seems convincing. "Now, when I have writing to do, or long columns of figures to cast up, I feel equal to it and can get through my work without the fagged out feeling of old." Name given by Postum Co.

Our people have not as yet ar rived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, He- brew 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 ma- Jority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read @ 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 news Papers, magazines and other period- ieals as the pivot on which their in- formation is dispensed among the peo- ‘ple. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. ‘Then the Negro inhab- itants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dis- Pinse news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the rea- son is because they were not support- ed. ‘Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders In the journalistic world, and orilliant and first-class men have had ie ean ae attack Bk ee ces WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri.

Ability to Do It Well Makes Christ mas Gift Making Easy. Since pasting is done on so many Christmas gifts, suppose we tell you how to do it. In the first place, always use the white photographer's paste ins/ead of taucilage or flour paste. The kind that comes in tubes is most easily put on. First paste a piece of cotton wad: ding over your cardboard, but do not turn the edges on the under side. Aft: er it is very smooth and dry, cut it close to the edges of the picture open- Ing. Then cut your cretonne, or what: ever material you use, about an inch bigger all around than the frame. ‘Turn it right side down on a clean table and put your frame down in it, with the cotton wadding to the back of your cover. Turn over one end, fasten it with pins and then turn over the other end and paste. Take out the pins, stretch very tight and smooth and paste it Be sure to rub plenty of paste on the cardboard, otherwise it will not hold; do the same for the sides. It you have been careful, your frame is now smoothly covered with cre i g VF ae oN od = PN = beard : Sy bane Pep é 4 eats 24 y oa ia ey 42 esd } K 2A TA RY aire NIE t CARDBOARD fs Easily-Made Frame. tonne, but it has no opening. Take sharp scissors and make a lengthwise cut in the middle of the material. Be sure not to cut {oo close to the edge. Then at each corner make diagonal cuts as close as you can without the material fraying. Sometimes the pieces thus formed on the side are wider than necessary and can be cut off, Now put the paste on the inside edges of the frame back of the open- ing, and fold your material back on it. This part of the work is very partic- ular, because nothing looks uglier than a wrinkled cover. Be sure each time you paste a side that it Is pee taked etely ant mcpoty sn pasting around an oval frame make a number of slits in the material so as to keep it smooth. After your frame is covered, place it under heavy books, and let it stay over night. This will prevent warp- ing. The next day paste the back on and again put weights on top. All this sounds more difficult than It Is, A little care and extreme neat- ness is all that is required to make your work very smooth and well done, A NOVEL PIN CUSHION.

Wrerentiate Between the Essential and the Non-Essential. Little things are often of great im- portance, but when they are so they are not little. The pinion of a watch wheel, for example, in one sense Is little, in another sense it is not so at all; for when it is not perfectly ad- Justed, tay watch 1s worthless for time- keeping. It is not size that makes a thing little or great, but its relation to the end for which a number of things are combined. If a thing Is essential it is important. Because so many of /the people who are always preaching the importance of little things fail to discriminate between the little and the non-essential, they often make a wretched mess of the management of their own and other people's affairs. ‘Theoretically, it every factor that con- tributes to a result is perfect, the re- sult will be perfect; but practically, for want of time, strength and oppor- tunity, the efficient man is compelled to neglect some things for the sake of others; and, in order to do this and yet secure the main end, he has to discriminate between the essential and the non-essential. The one who is thoroughly imbued with the false doe- trine of the importance of little things, spends his strength without discrim- ination, and usually succeeds in miss- ing the main chance—The Watchman. i ae earn | pea ne Attention is called by the Travelers’ Gazette to recent acquisitions by the Louvre, notably of a life size bust in chalk, primitively colored, of the her- mit king of tho eighteenth dynasty, Alkhoumalon, or Amenophis IV., one of the strangest figures in the long line of the Pharaohs. The bust is a re markably fine specimen of the art of the period, and is well preserved. Be- sides this, there are four sepulchral urns in blue porcelain from the tomb of Rameses II. In these urns was found, besides funeral linen, certain organic matter, which is being chem ‘{eally examined. | INTERESTING CONTEST. Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage. One of the most curious contests ever before the public was conducted by many thousand persons under the offer of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., of Battle Creek, Mich., for prizes of 31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks to those making the most words out of the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts. The contest was started in Febru- ary, 1906, and it was arranged to have the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1906. When the public announcement ap- peared many persons began to form the words from these letters, some- times the whole family being occupied evenings, a combination of amuse- meat and education. After a while the lists began to come in to the Postum Office and be- fore long the volume grew until it re- quired wagons to carry the mail. ‘Many of the contestants were thought- less enough to send thelr lists with insuMeient postage and for a period it cost the Company from twenty-five to fifty-eight and sixty dollars a day to pay the unpaid postage. Young ladies, generally those who had graduated from the high school, were employed to examine these lists and count the correct words. Web- ster's Dictionary was the standard and each list was very carefully cor- rected except those which fell below | 8000 for it soon became clear that | nothing below that could win. Some Bete Tae soanieed ia nore hs young lady for a solid week on each individual list. The work was done very carefully and accurately but the Company had no idea, at the time the offer was made, that the people would respond so generally and they were compelled to fill every available space in the offices with these young lady examiners, 2nd notwithstanding they worked steadily, it was impossible to complete the examination until Sept. 29, over six months after the prizes should have been awarded. ‘This delay caused a great many im quiries and naturally created some dissatisfaction. It has been thought best to make this report in practically all of the newspapers in the United States and many of the magazines in order to make clear to the people the conditions of the contest. Many lists contained enormous numbers of words which, under the ules, had to be eliminated “Pegger” would count “Peggers” would not. Some lists contained over 50,000 words, the great majority of which were cut out. The largest lists were checked over two and in some cases three times to insure accuracy. The $100.00 gold prize was won by L. D. Reese, 1227-15th St. Denver, Col, with 9941 correct words. ‘The higtlest $10.00 gold. prize went to 8. XK, Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 cor- rect words. A compiete list of the 331 winners with their home addresses will be sent to any contestant enquiring on a postal card. Be sure and give name and address clearly. This contest has cost the Co. many thousand dollars, and probably hac not been a profitable advertisement, nevertheless perhaps some who had never before: tried Grape-Nuts food have been interested in the contest, and from trial of the food have been shown its wonderful rebuilding pow: ers. It teaches in a practicable manner that scivntifically gathered food ele ments can be selected from the fielé grains, which nature will use for re building the nerve centres and brain in a way the; is unmistakable: tc users of Grape-Nuts. “There's a reason.” EPISCOPAL ADDRESSES. ‘Glenops of the A. mM.

(1) THE £2. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20tm year of regular publi- cation. (2 Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to “catch” honest. advertisers. 4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St.Louis, or State. 15) The ONLY Negro newspaper pub- lished in St.Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (1) Because it is fearless in denounc- ing crime regardless of conse- quences. ‘The Negro has proved his loyalty to the waite man in the south by caring for their wives, mothers and daugh- ters in 1861 to 1865. Now let us prove to them that we are not less worthy of their good favor. The Negro makes his place and standing by his acts and utterance. We urge upon the Negro’s, north, south, east and west, to sow to the white man of America that we are good citizens, though WE ARE BLACK. The Negro ought to form a - mittee of five to one hundred of gooa citizens, and when they know there is | bad men and women that is among | them they should point them out to the | officers of the law and not harbor them. .

Now tell us who is the Jim Crow Negro who will go elsewhere. The hospital ball was seemingly given for the so-called aristocrats. There were only about a dozen of the common people there. Such as G. W. Holt, Joe Gans, the champion; W. C. Gordon, J. W. Wheeler, W. H. Fields and a few others. The rest were sup- posed to be of the deep-water kind, where few fish swim. ‘The Jim Crow Negro who attends other rinks than the Brooks and Doug- lass ought to be skinned alive, for they are the outcasts of all respecta- ble Negroes. The class of Jim Crow niggers who attend any other rink than the two conducted by Negro men never wash only when it rains. Oh, they are the lowést Negroes that tive. A In our last week’s paper one lady and husband took exception at an ar- ticle in the Palladium and said they were good subscribers, but would not take the paper any more. Well, we are sorry indeed to lose a valuable subscriber of two-months, yet we trust by their withdrawal the Pal- ladium will not cease to make its ap- pearance every Saturday. Ttems of Interest. There are many good white Demo- erats, but I have never seen a good Negro Democrat. NT ee eee The Negro does not have to vote the Demoeratic ticket now to conduct a saloon. He has been freed from that. A Negro who can say that he is a Democrat from principle is the devil's own doll baby, and the biggest cheat on earth. A Negro who will vote the Demo- eratie ticket should be driven from her presence by his wife, because he is not honest. ‘The trouble in’ Atlanta, Ga., ought to drive every weak-kneed and so- called Negro Democrat to their home, ‘the Republican party. __In this election let the Negro forget everything but the success of the Re- publican ticket in the coming elec- tion, Nov. 6, 1906. Many white Democrats vote the Democratic ticket because their fath- ers were Democrats. But I have never seen a Negro whose father was a Democrat. When a Negro attempts to vote a Democratic ticket let him think of At- lanta, Ga. It is reported that all so- called Negro Democrats are coming home. Where is their home? Answer—The Republican party. When Negroes call _ themselves Democrats they ought to indorse what they do. What do they do? Why, mur- der, burn and mob Negro men and rape defenseless Negro women, sim- ply because they are black or they are one of Aunt Hager’s family. J. H.

Choir rehearsal Saturday evening; all members should attend. ‘The attendance at the covenant and communion service at 3 p. m. was the largest in the history of the church. Thomas Dixon's “Clansman’ ‘is the best book every written on the race question in the United States. Don’t fail to be present and take a copy of it home with you. Every governor in the United States has been fur- nished with a copy of the book, and by this means, the race question is belie’ solved: Rev. Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, secretary of the National Baptist B. Y. P. U. board, will be present and speak at Providence Sunday evening. Dr. Isaac is also editor of the “National Baptist Union,” the organ of the Na- tional Baptist convention, He has no superior on the platform as an orator and very few equals. Come early, both morning and evening, and avoid the rush. This will be a rare treat for the Colored people of St. Louis. ‘There will be a grand rally at our church Sunday, October 28th inst. Plans are on foot to raise $300 that day. A free dinner will be served for the comfort of our friends. All are cordially invited to be present. Friends and foes will be made wel- come, and we guarantee all a pleas: ant time. The literary entertainment and so- cial given at the residence of Mrs. Idetha Turner, 6122 Minerva avenue, last Tuesday was a success in every sense. The house was crowded with beautiful young men and women. The entertainment was given under the auspices of Club No. 2, of which Mrs. Letha Newcomb is president. The Baptist State Board held their session at Providence Baptist church this week, and the brethren spoke in highest terms of the outlok for our church. Many of the leading minis. ters of the state will visit our church Sunday, together with their wives. Every girl I see is betting on Ca- lanthy Drill Corps, but the boys seem to back Olive Leaf. I am going to back them both Monday, October 22, at Mt. Calvary’s reception. THE “VICTOR” SPECIFICS OF MEN AND WOMEN VICTOR MEDICINE CO., 2626 Olive Street, St. Louis.

RUN BOWN FROM GRIP &c, Williams’ Pink Pills Have Cured This Form of Debility in ‘Mundtede of Gasee. “Four years ago,” says Mrs. F'. Mor- ison, of No. 1922 Carson street, South Bide, Pittsburg, Pa., “I took a cold which turned intothegrip. Thistrouble left mo all run down. Iwas thin, bad backache much of the time, had no ap- petite, my stomach was out of order and I felt nervous and unstrung. “While I had the grip I had a doctor, butd really suffered more from the con- dition in which the influenza left me than I did from the diseaso itself. I felt generally wretched aud miserable and the least exposure to cold would make me worse. I couldn’ seem to get any better until I began to take Dr. Williams” Pink Pills, I very quickly noticed a benefit after I began taking thom and they restored me to good health and strength. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are 9 wonderfully good medicine. ‘Thanks to thom I am now in fine health and ‘thave had noreturn of my former trouble. recommend the pills to everyone who fo ailing and tako every opportunity to let le know how good they are.” Dr, Williams. Pinte Pills cured ‘Mrs, Morrison because they actually make ‘good, red blood. When the blood is red aud healthy there can be no debility. The relation between the blood and fhervous system is such that the pills have a very decided action upon the nerves and they have cured many severe nervous disorders, such as ae pa- ralysis, locomotor ataxia and St. Vitus’ dance, that have not yielded to ordinary treatment. Their double action, on the blood and on the nerves, makes them an {deal tonic. All druggists sell Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail post- ay on receipt of price, 50 elite pee x, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Wil- liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. Kept Tax Recelpts Long. Charles. King, of Hast Liberty, @ euburb of Pittsburg, is what might be termed a careful man. He has been a voter in the East Liberty district since 1857 and when asked on the last reg- {stration day if he had a tax receipt he pulled from a pocket tax receipts for the last 41 years. When asked by tho registrar if he had any more he replied that {f he went down deep in- to his “strong box” at home he might possibly find a few dating long back before the oldest member of the board was born, Mr. King is now 78 years old, having been born in Baltimore in 1828, removing to East Liberty in 1857. His first presidential vote was cast for John C. Fremont and his last for Theodore Roosevelt. He is a stanch Republican and as a contractor and brick manufacturer for half a cen- tury has contributed much to the up- bullding and growth of Hast Liberty. Snakes Roasted and Eaten. In Australia several kinds of snakes @re eaten roasted. They are sald to be equal in delicacy and flavor to the Gnest stewed eels. A traveler declares the steam from the roasting reptiles is by no means unsavory.

The State Teachers’ association has appointed a strong committee upon the subject and this committee is gathering data to support {ts conclusions. The spe- cial interest manifested by the teach- ers is because they argue that with larger revenues there would be bettor equipped schools, longer terms and better paid teachers. The average salary of the rural school teacher in Missouri {s only $31.70 a month, The teachers state that if the property that now escapes taxation were taxed and if all property ,were assesed at face value there would be abundant funds for all school purposes, while now the funds are scant and insuffi- lent. ‘A Touch of Humanitx, At the street carnival in Louisiana an eight-year-old boy in thin clothes sat down in the exhaust of a gaso- line engine of the carnival company to keep warm. After sitting there a while the lad fell from the chair un- conscious. He was almost asphyx- jated from inhaling the gas, but was fevived in a barber shop where the crowd took up a collection and bought the child a warm outfit from top to toe. Students Strike for Holiday. ‘Three hundred students of Drury college went on strike recently at Springfield, demanding a full holiday. The president of the college, Dr. J. E. Kirbye, had arranged for the students to be out of school long enough to hear the speech of W, J. Bryan at the park, but the students were not satisfied with this, and demanded the whole day, so that they might witness the festival that was in progress. Draiheaa: Bonde Sold. The Bates county Marais des Cygnes river drainage canal bonds have been sold, bringing a premium of $14,600. The bonds run for 20 years and bear six per cent interest. The contractors will soon begin ‘to work upon the canal, which will drain 60,000 acres of the richest bot- tom land in Missouri. The average cost of drainage on the land wili be $11 per acre for all benefited land, Bucket Brigade Saved a Town. ‘The general merchaadise store of W. W. Biddle and the fiouring mill owned by him at Fairfleld, Benton county, burned recently. The total loss is $15,000 insurance $4,500, ‘The entire viuage came near being de- stroyed. Heroie work by the citizens, who organized a bucket brigade, was all that kept the town from being wiped out. An Ex-Missourian Named. - Gen. J. C. Jamison, once adjutant general of Missouri under Gov. John Marmaduke, and later adjutant gen- eral of Oklahoma, has been nominated for delegate to the Oklahoma const!- tutional convention by democrats in the Twenty-sixth district which In- ‘cludes a portion of Guthrie, Gen, Jamison served under Gen, Walker in Nicaragua. Engineer Became Insane. ‘There was a real theme for a dime ‘novel when an engineer of Moberly becanie mad on his train, ran the engine wild and fought the train crew with teeth and wrench until the cr gine went dead from whistling all its steam away. Was a Bates County Politician. David T. Branden, 62 years old, died recently at Kansas City of pneumonia. He was from Bates county, where he had lived for nearly 30 years. Mr. Baden was’ active in Bates county polities for many years. 120 Bushes to the Acre. A very successful stock show and exhibition of farm products was re- cently held in Nevada.,The contest for the best acre of corn in Vernon coun- ty developed the fact that the county is a wonder as a corn producer. The first premium went to Kirk Lanede, of Henry township, a sworn produc- tion of an acre gathered from his fermy being 120 weighed bushels. The second was won by Henry Lohr of the township in which Neysda is lo- cated, and his land producing 88 weighed bushc's, A Missourian to China, Arthur Basset of Monroe county, a graduate of the state university in the class of 1900, has been appointed United States district attorney tor the empire of China, On the creation of a federal’ court in China with extra- ordinary jurisdiction over the entire empire this position was established and Mr. Basset appointed. The court will sit in Shanghai, Pekin, Tientsin, Hong-Kong and wherever else the public interest may demand, At the time of his appointment Mr. Basset was visiting in the States, having re- turned in the early summer from the Philippines.

The leaders In the eru- sade were Pastors C. B. Duncan of the Methodist church and H. S. Saxby of the Christian church who were aided by other members of the Law and Order League of Richmond. This league was organized two weeks ago at the close of the evangelistic cam- paign held by Rey. John B. Brown, of Siloam Springs, Ark., and its member- ship comprises about 800 of the lead- ing citizens of Richmond and vicinity. A Bryan at Columbia, A writer in the Columbia Herald says that the name of Silas Lillard Bryan, father of William J.

A letter received by Dr. Hunter Cor- bett froma native pastor in China, tells of revivals in several churches in the Interior of Shantung. He speaks of the Holy Spirit coming upon one church resembling the day of Pentecost. Church members were awakened, some openly confessed that they had grown cold, but now resolved by God's help to live new lives. Ene- mies acknowledged their wrongs and became reconciled, One meeting con- tinued till long after midnight, pray- Ing earnestly for a blessing upon the church and then upon the outside peo- ple. In one place the children under ten years old organized a prayer meet- ing and daily met for prayer. In an- other district. 54 new members have been added to the church. And at still another church men fell upon the floor and called upon God to forgive their sins and give them new life. Their prayers were heard and joy so filled their hearts that they subseribed money to support their own pastor and sent money to help needy Chris- tians wherever found. In the Union college and academy at Weihsien word has come that all but four of the 200 students are now enrolled on the Lord’s side. At one center, reports the Record of Christian Work, 23 women were led to accept Christ, and all at once un- bound their feet. At another center men and boys went to the surround: ing villages to witness for Christ and plead with all to accept salvation. MISSION WORK IN WINTER. What Is Being Done for Lonely White Settlers in Labrador. Along the—coast from Hopedale south to Cape Harrison, 70 miles in a straight line, but several hundred miles if the indentations of the shore are followed, are a few scattered huts of white settlers, some hundred and fifty souls in all. The missionaries, relates Gustav Kobbe, in Century, make a point of ministering to these lonely exiles, and in winter one of the Moravians makes a trip by komitick, visiting the settlers, holding a service at each house, and devoting a few hours to instruction in reading, writ: ing and arithmetic. Perhaps one of the older members of the settler’s family will grasp a few rudiments even in this brief time, and will con- tinue the instruction, until, with the missionary’s visit from year to* year, the family will become a little nucleus of knowledge—a light _ flickering through the darkness of this dreary land. Often settlers living several days’ journey inland will travel all the way to some hut on the coast, in order not to miss the Moravian's visit. It is the only link which binds them to efvilization. METHODIST UNION IN JAPAN. General Conference to Be Held at Kokio in May, 1907. Recent attempts to bring together the four Wesleyan and Methodist bod- jes of Japanese Christians and English and American missionaries having failed, the American representatives have decided to merge even if the English are not willing to join. At a session of joint commissions of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church (South), held in Baltimore, acting under au: thority conferred by the general con. ferences, it was decided to establish the Methodist Episcopal church of Japan, which in {ts polity will con- form essentially to the American Methodist polity, but the details of which will be worked out at a general conference to be held in Tokio in May, 1907. The united church will start with 100 Arserican missionaries, 75 ordained Japanese preachers, 7,000 members, 39 schools and educational institutions of various grades, with 3,936 pupils, and a publishing house with $200,000 worth of property. ‘oe Wark for ‘enere. Father Conrardi, a Belgian priest, is setting out to found a colony for lepers near Canton, China. It was he who held in his arms at Molokai the dying Father Damien, whom Stevenson has celebrated. He carried on Damien's work for eight years, At first the con- ditions were so unsanitary that Da- mien and Conrardi were in constant danger of the disease, Later, through their efforts, a hospital was built, the colony was put in clean houses, and a company of nuns came as nurses, Not content with this achievoment, Father Cenrardi begins again in a new and worse place which needs him more, Bling Wornan Mountain Climzer. ‘There is in Vienna a woman of 30, who, though blind, is passionately fond of climbing mountains. She re cently ascended, with her husband, Monte Clevedale, the summit of which is about 11,000 feet above sea level.

Marvelous Delicacy of Hearing Poe sessed by Milner James. “Milner James was the most artistic safe-breaker in the business,” said Lecocg the detective. “He is dead now. He opened in his time over 70¢ safes without tools or gunpowder solely by working out the combination with his delicate and patient fingers. ““It took me a year,’ he once said, ‘to learn the trick of picking combina tions. I studied all the locks there were and I had three safes of different makes to practice on. The ear is the most important factor in my method and it must be held tight against the safe door on a line with the tumblers, When the knob of the lock is turned slowly and one of the tumblers reach- es the notch corresponding to the first number of the combination the tum- bier will fall with a little click. Care must be taken not to displace this tumbler. You keep on trying the knob back and forth gently till each of the tumblers drops. Then the door opens. Hardly one man in a thousand has an ear delicate enough for this work and to be a success at it you've got to give up tobacco and aleohol.’” DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA. Brushed Scales from Face Like Pow: der—Under Physicians Grew Worse —Cuticura Works Wonders. “T suffered with eczema six months. I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. It was on my body and on my feet so thick that I could hardly put a pin on me without touch- ing eczema. My face was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to anoth- er doctor. He. asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura, He sald that was a very good thing, but that he thought my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work, and my-face is now just as clear as it ever was. I told all my friends about my remarkable cure. I feel so thankful I want ev- erybody far and wide to know what Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema. Mrs, Emma White, 641 Cherrier Place, Camden, N.

In the former case its value would be about $1,000; in the latter case, $2,000. "According to his several ability." God has given to each just what we have capacity to use to best advantage. V. 16. "Straightway." (See Rev. Ver.) The promptness and energy of the man who received five talents contributed largely to his success in doubling his capital. "Traded with the same." Literally worked with them—that is, he used them in business. We trade with our talents when we do the best we can in every direction. V. 17. The man of two talents we may take as the average man, probably ourselves. V. 18. "He that had received one." When we recollect that one talent represented either $1,000 or $2,000, we see that it was something not to be despised. But this man, instead of being thankful that he was not burdened with more than he could take care of, had not energy enough to do anything with his owntalent. "Hid his lord's money." When secure banks were almost unknown, this was often done. V. 19. "After a long time." Here is an intimation that Jesus' return might be long delayed. Here is as surance that each is to have abun dant opportunity to do the work Jesus has given him to do. "Reck oned with them." In a certain sense each day is a day of reckoning. But beyond this, Scripture seems to teach a day of public reckoning when all will see that God has dealt wisely, lovingly, justly, with each. V. 20. "He . . . five talents." This one represents a person who has been richly endowed with intellectual and spiritual graces. V. 21. "Good and faithful." He is good because he put his whole heart into his work; he is faithful because he wrought with loving confidence in his master. It is not success, but goodness and faithfulness, that Jesus commends. "Ruler over many things." The first reward of faithfulness is an enlarged sphere of usefulness and responsibility. "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." An oriental master, on his return, often spreads a great banquet to his faithful servants. The faithful Christian enters into the joy of Christ Jesus Vs. 22, 23. We must note that the man who faithfully used two talents is just as highly commended and receives the same reward as the first man. V. 24. "Came and said." This man began at once to make excuses, and thereby really accused himself. "Lord . . . hard man." Hard thoughts of his master had much to do with this man's sloth. In the spiritual world it is not knowing God that leads to many of our mistakes and sins. V. 25. "I was afraid." He means to say that he was afraid to make any venture with his talent, lest he lose all. We should not hesitate to do what we can through fear of making mistakes. "Thou hast that is thine." He fancied that he was honest, yet yet was most outrageously dishonest. V. 26. "Wicked and slothful." There are sins of omission as well as of commission. To neglect to do the good we might do is a crime no less than doing positive evil. "Thou knowest." Perhaps this ought to be read, "Knowest thou?" V. 27. "Exchangers." Bankers or money lenders, who would have received the money on deposit and paid interest on it. Vs. 28. 29. "Take the talent from him." The parable represents this as the master's command, but it pictures only the inevitable result of disuse. V. 30. "Unprofitable servant." He has brought no profit to his master nor to himself; he has wasted and lost his capacity for blessedness, has fitted himself for the "outer darkness" apart from God and from the joys of the faithful. "Weeping and gnashing of teeth." Practical Points. V. 14. God has not only a creator's, but a lover's, claim upon us and our service.—2 Cor. 5: 14. 15. V. 14. The work of distributing God's highest blessings among mankind has been entrusted to his loving human children.—2 Cor. 5: 19. V. 15. Great advantages bring great responsibilities.—Luke 12: 48. V. 17. By diligence we continually increase our ability.—Prov. 10: 4 V. 24. Hard thoughts of the master render one incapable of faithful service.—Rom. 1: 21. REPEATED FAILURES PROVE THEORY NOT PRACTICAL. Investigations Show Results Different from Those Painted by Socialistic Speakers. Des Moines, Iowa.-The disclosures which have been made in Omaha concerning the failure of municipal powership in that city have attracted widespread attention over the entire country, and espousing the principle of love and adjoining states watched the developments with great interest, both because of the proximity of Omaha as well as because of the general principle in Some time ago the entire middle west and the municipal ownership ideas and fads, but, too, the city has set up a train of investigations by those who really wanted to know the truth about the city's utilities, and the result has been that thousands who formerly were advocates on this idea have now changed their mind and are now cities owning the street cars, electric lights, gas systems, telephones, etc., as formerly were in favor of such ownership. Because of the political unrest of Iowa, Wisconsin and other middle west states, the agitators who are preaching municipalities of this kind, gained a ready hearing and for a time seemed to be making headway and galing adherents in every direction. But the fundamental hard work of the campaign would not permit them to accept the mere word of the socialistic siren, however sweetly sung. They begin investigating for themselves, they wanted to know how far the municipal ownership theory fibed with the results. One of the very first results of these investigations was the discovery that the mayor for municipal ownership emanated for local society in Milwaukee, Patterson, N. J., and Chicago. The socialists openly boasted that they had inaugurated the campaign as the expectation that their beliefs with the expectation that their cause would benefit thereby. The non-property owners who were investigating the subject suddenly discovered that areas they had been tangleed believe that they had been caused by municipal ownership were paid by the rich and by the owners of real estate, that eventually the increased taxation was shattered the shoulders of the owners, that himself in the increased reeds and increased cost of supplies and raw materials. This point was one of the dinners which caused many other problems concerning the beauties of municipal ownership. According to reports, the citizens of Okinawa are contemplating themselves that they discovered early in the game that the municipal ownership road was not altogether rosy, and that they did not want to be involved in service corporations of their city at a cost of many millions, which would eventually have to be paid in the shape of high taxes and higher rents. On the other hand, the seems to have decided that he wants no more municipal ownership, but would rather get rid of even that little bit of the system which the city already has This sentiment is gaining ground rapidly all over the middle west. The solid evidence they will think a good many times before they make themselves the cat-caw-paw of long time friends. They have been through the socialistic game. They are getting tired of being used as entering wedges for rank socialization, and are now entering entries which experience every in the middle west and everywhere else—including Europe, as the former nu-muslim capital of the Middle East, Chellan, of New York city, has so recently testified—has shown are better administered under the good old American private control and individual initiation. Open Air Work for Women. Mrs. A. G. Conreid operates a ranch in Colorado where wild flowers are collected and pressed for use in soupsnirts and menu cards. The work being in the open air, it has proved popular among teachers and other women suffering from nervous troubles, as it gives them a chance to earn a living and to regain their health.

The greatest cause of worry on ironing day can be removed by using Defiance Starch, which will not stick to the iron. Sold everywhere, 16 oz for 10c. Saved from Horrible Death. Three lives have been saved by means of a device invented by a Swedish woman named Lind, for preventing people from being buried alive. It was applied to 2,200 supposes corpses. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money. Another Enemy of Sleep. All sufferers from insomnia will sympathize with their fellow victim whose sad case is reported in the Hog Wallow Kentuckian: "Jefferson Potlocks has been complaining to the deputy constable on account of his being kept awake at night by the lightning bugs." The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.
