Mr. J. W. Fullbright, of Oklahoma, spoke at the Negro Protective League meeting last Sunday. At the conclusion of his remarks he said: "I must close, but my talk is like a sausage, it is good wherever you cut it off." A sensation in congress, based upon a letter attributed to President Roosevelt, in which state legislatures are urged not to pass laws limiting the salaries of life insurance officials, is brewing.

Huffman, of Sumner High School, at the Sunday concert last Sunday afternoon, on the subject, "Master or Slave," was listened to with rapt attention by the large audience that had gathered. This is Prof. Huffman's first effort before the St. Louis public and he takes front rank among our thinkers and speakers. For logic and eloquence Prof. Huffman is unsurpassed in this community. The other numbers on the programme were excellent and were well received. The specials for next Sunday will be Prof. E. S. Williams in a ten-minute talk and Misses Ella Sevier and Georgie Scott in musical contributions. A Spirited Race. The competition among the young ladies of Orpheus Academy, who are in the race for the diamond ring and gold watch, is growing more spirited each day.

Be sure to get your medicine at this drug store. We know that you will be treated all right. Remember 809 Jefferson avenue. THEY DO SAY! Mr. Kornet, of 914 Market street, is one of the best tailors in St. Louis. The Palladium man formerly had his clothes made by him, but of late years he has been too poor to have clothes made to order, and now gets them as best he can, but young men who want an up-to-date suit, go to 914 Market. Wanted a good house keeper without children or a husband, at 810 N. 8th Street. DEAD BEATS The Palladium Mule for Dead Beats (A Good Kicker) The Palladium Mule for Dead Beats (A Good Kicker) The Dead Beat Society met pursuant to adjournment on Monday, Jan. 14, with President Williams in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read, after which the president called for the regular routine of business. S. W. Williams and Miss Brown read their papers, which were quite amusing and contained not 2c worth of "cat sense." The president called for Mr. Howse, of Belleville; Steele and J. Fair, of St. Louis. At this point the Hon. W. S. Walton stated that he had just received a telegram stating that the three had died suddenly of heart failure. The convention was then called off to make arrangements for the burial. The president appointed S. W. Williams the knight of St. Paul chapel, Mary Moore and George Spiller to make all arrangements for the funeral. In due time the committee reported stating that all arrangements had been made, but no church in St. Louis would open their doors and the only place that could be secured for burial was in potter's field, as they could not be buried where human beings were buried. The convention reconvened and proceeded to business. W. S. Walton read his paper on "How to Organize the Dead Beat." This paper like the others, displayed much rabbit sense. The convention then took into consideration new members. Several persons made application and were duly elected—Mr. Reese (Juba) Evans or the ex-detective, J. W. Ohara, Mr. A. L. Lee, the laundry man, and several more, whose names will be made public soon. After several resolutions were presented and referred to the proper committees. One of the new members presented a charge against the president, Richard Williams. This resolution was presented by request by a lady who keeps a rooming house. The president said if it was not for the respect he had for the members, he would suspend him at once. At this bold remark several members moved to go into election of officers. At this point the president vacated the chair and handed his gavel to Thomas Holden to conduct the election. W. S. Walton, the usher of St. Paul chapel, put in nomination the Hon. Richard Williams. Mr. President, I recommend him because he has been a good president and he ought to get dat position again. Mr. Abraham Lincoln Lee placed in nomination the Hon. Reese Evans, better known as Juba, and said: I hope you will cast your vote for dis man, as he has been a detective and dat is what we want. After the tellers were appointed the members proceeded to vote. The results were as follows: Reese Evans, $62\%$ votes; Richard Williams, $210\%$ votes; Mr. J. W. Ohara was elected secretary and Abraham Lincoln Lee treasurer. The president, Reese Juba, at once appointed an auditing committee, and after congratulating each other, they sang the beautiful hymn, "We Are Hearty Dead Beats and Don't you Want to Join Us?" etc. President Reese made a strong appeal to every member to work for this grand and noble order. The convention closed sine die. Officers elected: Reese Evans, or Juba, president; J. W. Ohara, secretary; A. L. Lee, treasurer; w. S. Walton, sergeant-at-arms. At the next meeting of 'his order the remainder of officers will be elected. Notice.

Mr. Filly is a power indeed. Much good was accomplished. A vote of thanks was tendered him for his able address. The Central Protective League held a special meeting last night at the Odd Fellows' hall, 2735 Franklin avenue, in honor of the forty-second anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro slaves of Missouri. Chauncey AGENTS To Solicit Adverse PALLA TS WANTED advertisements for the LLADIUM AGENTS WANTED To Solicit Advertisements for the PALLADIUM First Baptist Church News. Rev. R. H. Cole preached a special sermon on "Repentance" to the sinners last Sunday. It was indeed full of interest and good common sense, and I am sure it made lasting impression on all present. Dr. Styles preached 7:30 p. m. His remarks were inspiring and logical. Don't forget the financial rally which takes place on the first Sunday in February, when all of the members and friends will be called on to give liberally, as an interest note will fall due on the 10th, hence it will be necessary for all the members to be present and fill up the house. Prof. M. Hamilton, superintendent of the Sunday School, was presented a handsome willow rocking chair by the school last Sunday morning in token of their respects for the good service he has given in the past two years. Remember the B. Y. P. U. meets every Sunday at 5:30 p. m. Everybody is invited. N. P. Hairston, president; Mrs. Lula Alexander, vice president. On and after December 25, 1906, the First District of Missouri A. F. and A. M. will be transferred from J. G. Stevens to Willis Barnett as D. G., Grand -aster for said district. All business for said office, kindly address t ohim at 5000 Washington avenue. The citizens in the vicinity of Morgan and Jefferson avenues will be pleased to know that Mr. Wm. H. Mosby is sole owner of the drug store at 809 Jefferson avenue. You can find at this store all that is to be found in any first-class drug store. Don't forget to go to "Sam," the Tailor, and get your winter suit or a present for your friend. He is doing a large business, as you know, at 204 and 206 N. Fourteenth street. He also has a working store at 1322 Pine street. It is an undeniable fact that he is one of the best men in St. Louis, as the Palladium man knows. Telephone Number Central: 5205 LEARN IT NOW.

It is never too late to learn. A Lendon physician says music will cure alcoholism. Now watch for jagtime melodies. Kansas has plenty of corn, but the price is so good that it dislikes the prospect of being forced to fill the coal bins with it. It is a sad thing to hear of $500 worth of ostrich feathers going up in smoke when they make a smell no pleasanter than can be produced from burning the plumage of an ordinary 40-cent barn-yard fowl. One of the high officials of the Standard Oil company admitted on the witness stand recently that he didn't know what his salary was. He must have a patient and extraordinary unobtrusive wife to have allowed him to go on in this foolish way for so long a time. John Howard Larcombe, 86 years old, a veteran employee of the pension office and the man who taught Andrew Carnegie telegraphy, has just died at Bellesville, Md. When he retired from office some months ago Mr. Carnegie gave him a pension of $100 a month for life. The natives of the Sandwich island estimate women by their weight. The Chinese require them to have deformed feet and black teeth. A girl must be tattooed sky-blue and wear a nose ring to satisfy a South Sea islander. Certain African princes require their brides to have their teeth filed into the semblance of a saw. By placing a negative at the focus of a telescope during the hours of the night Miss Harriet S. Leavitt, one of the members of the Harvard photograph examination force, has recently discovered 36 new variable stars. These latest additions to the known twinkling points of light make a total of 1,364 stars which Miss Leavitt has discovered. During his school career the kalser was a model of the studious German youth. He took his place as an ordinary pupil in the public school at Cassel, and studied and played with the other scholars. At the final examination he was, indeed, only tenth in the list; but then he was two years younger than his companions, and was rightly considered to have done so well that his tutor was immediately decorated. In a recent report of the bureau of navigation it is shown that 93 percent of the enlisted men in the navy are native-born Americans, and that during the year 43 per cent. of the men qualified for reenlistment did reenlist. It is highly desirable that the man behind the gun be a man of experience, and it is best that the man who may be called upon to fight should be born under the flag that floats above his ship. Col. Barnsdale, a prominent citizen of Pittsburg, was traveling through Indian territory. While strolling around Muskogee he met an old colored woman who seemed to be an interesting character, and asked: "Aunty, how many people are there in this city?" The negrens considered gravely for a few moments, and then said: "Well, boss, I reckon there's about 25,000, including the white folks." Col. Barnsdale says he thereupon saw a first illustration of how much depends upon the viewpoint. Oklahoma's star will be added to the flag on July 4 next year if the formal admission of the state to the union takes place before that time. The war and navy departments have agreed upon the arrangement of the 46 stars, to accommodate the new one, and to make it easy to add two more when New Mexico and Arizona are admitted. The plan provides for four rows of eight stars each, and two rows of seven stars each. The rows of seven are the second and the fifth. The rows of seven can be made into rows of eight when the other territories are admitted, and the arrangement will then be absolutely regular. The most powerful individual in China to-day is Yuan Shi Kai, the viceroy of Tlentsin. He is virtually the dictator of the empire, having as his ally the aged empress dowager. No decree is issued from Peking without his approval. He is credited with having caused the Chinese government to issue the recent anti-opium decree. Yuan is a man of great force of character, and a believer in progress. He has taken many steps to modernize his country. Numerous attempts have been made to assassinate him. It is hoped that through his efforts China will be transformed into a progressive land. Caoutchouc was introduced to Europe by M. De la Condamine on his return from Peru in 1736. "It is," said its discoverer, "a most singular resin, as much by the use to which it is devoted as by its nature, which is a problem to our most expert chemists." Strange that when a letter writer means to muck-rake the editor he always starts in with, "I have been a constant reader of your paper, and have always considered you just and fair."

This Section Was Completely Devastated by the Earthquake and Fire. THE HOTEL One of the Principal Buildings at Kingston, Jamaica, Completely Destroyed by the Earthquake and Ensuing Fire. St. Thomas, D. W. I.—Latest reports received here from Jamaica say it is estimated that 1,000 persons have been killed by the earthquake and fire and that 90,000 persons are homeless. The damage to Kingston alone is placed at fully $10,000,000. Later advices received from Jamaica declare that all people have been warned to keep away from Kingston. The stench is described as awful. Money is useless. The banks have been burned, but the vaults are supposed to be safe. The misery on all sides is indescribable. Rich and poor alike are homeless. Provisions of all kinds are urgently needed. It is impossible to say where anybody can be found. STREET SCENE IN East Street, Looking Toward the Completely Devastated by the Earth Sir James Fergusson, vice chairman of the Royal Mail Steamship Co., is among the killed. The dead are being buried under smoldering ruins. The mercantile community suffered most severely, warehouses falling upon them. Many professional men are dead or injured. The negroes are looting. Ghastly scenes are being witnessed. All the ships have been destroyed, and all the buildings in and around Kingston are in ruins. Very few of them are safe to live in. The governor and his party are safe. It is reported that an extinct volcano in the parish of Portland is showing signs of activity, but this has not been verified. No news has yet been received from other parts of the island of Jamaica, communication being very difficult. MYRTLE BAY One of the Principal Buildings at stroyed by the Earthquake and Ense London, Eng.—A message has been received from Sir Alfred Jones which confirms the worst fears. This message is addressed to Elder, Dempster & Co., and is as follows: "Kingston was overwhelmed by an earthquake Monday afternoon at 3:30. All the houses within a radius of 10 miles have been damaged, and almost every house in the city is destroyed. Fire broke out after the earthquake, and completed the work of destruction. The public officers and hospitals are in ruins. PROMPT TO ACT. Navy Department Reponds to the Cry for Bread. Washington, D. C.—Official news of the disaster at Kingston, Jamaica, reached Washington slowly; in fact, the first report did not come to hand until well along in the afternoon, when a dispatch was received at the state department dated: "Jamaica, 3:31 p. m., Jan. 16," and signed "American Consul," stating that Kingston had been destroyed, and hundreds of lives lost, and that food was badly wanted. The dispatch was regarded as warranting the taking of instant measures of relief. Indeed the navy department has been in advance in this matter, for through Capt. Beehler, the officer in charge of the naval station at Key West, wireless communication was early established between the navy department and Admiral Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo, Cuba, and when Sec- KINGSTON, JAMAICA.

Acted First. Authority Later. Acted First, Authority Later. The appeal for food supplies directed attention to the fact that under ordinary conditions none of the government supplies could be used for outside relief save by special authority of congress. That fact, however, did not prevent Secretary Metcalf from ordering two supply ships with full cargoes of food at once to Jamaica, leaving for tomorrow the question as to how the supplies are to be given to the needy inhabitants. There are stores of food at San Juan, P. R., and Havana that might be used for emergencies, leaving the department to draw later on the large stocks at New York. NK HOTEL. Kingston, Jamaica, Completely De- ing Fire. The city is one of low lying buildings, clustered along the shores of one of the finest and most securely land locked harbors in the West Indies. The population, which numbers 50,000, is largely made up of native blacks. Many steamers carrying tourists to Jamaica were en route to the island when the earthquake occurred, but it so happens that, according to schedules, none of the ships from New York or Boston was in Kingston harbor Monday afternoon.

Man in His Eden Home.—Man was placed in the most favorable circumstances for his development and growth; in a beautiful garden, with all the influences of noble nature around him; in natural communion with God, with plenty of work in taking care of his home farm, in gaining and exercising dominion over it, with a perfect family life; all of which were educational forces, so that Eden was the great school of man. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was not "the tree of knowledge," but only of the knowledge of good and evil. It was not to prevent them from knowing good and evil. Its purpose was to teach them that knowledge in the divine way through knowing the good by possessing it, and evil only by contrast. "Not "Knowledge of good bought dear by knowing ill." The Tempter. V. 1. "Now the serpent was more subtil" Crafty, cunning, wise in gaining its ends, insidious Therefore the best tool of any power that would use it for its crafty ends. This speaking serpent is either (1) a tool used by "that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world" (Rev. 12:9), because it was the most fitting instrument for his purpose. This is plain from the fact that the New Testament continually implies it. "The temptation of Jesus makes it quite certain that the serpent and Satan are in some way identical. John 8:44; 2 Cor. 11:3 (compare 14); Rom. 16:20; Rev. 12:9; 20:2."—Delitzsch. There are two ways of knowing good and evil. One is Satan's way, by knowing evil through experience, and good by contrast, a far-off dim vision of good. The other is the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust" (2 Pet. 1:4). The First Consequence was that they were ashamed, self-conscious. Without sin there is no shame. The consciousness of nakedness was an expression and figure of their nakedness of soul. They had nowhere to hide from one another or from God. Hitherto they had not wished to hide. The Second Consequence was that they were afraid of their heavenly Father. It would seem that God by some manifestation was accustomed to speak to his children as was most natural. Third Consequence.—Moral Deterioration. 1. When God asked Adam. Where are thou? he was untruthful, in evading the real reason for his hiding, and refusing to acknowledge his sin. Fourth Consequence.—The Injury to Others. While each child that comes into the world makes his own choice as really as Adam did, yet Adam's sin brought unfavorably inherited tendencies and environment. Fifth Consequence (V. 16).—A double sorrow to woman. She would suffer in bearing children, and she would suffer through the oppression of man, who would, as a result of his sinful nature, exercise his natural strength and authority to oppress her. Sixth Consequence.—Upon man there was inflicted the curse of hard and bitter toll, instead of the work that was like the exercise of play in Eden. Seventh Consequence.—Death. "We must not think that if man had not sinned his body would not have passed away, that death would not have been. No; but that death, by sin, became death; otherwise it would have been simply a transition to a higher state of being."—Robertson. The meaning is suggested by the translation of Enoch, Moses and Elijah, and the transformation of the body at the resurrection. Eighth Consequence.—Banishment from their Eden home. Ninth Consequence.—A Perpetual Conflict. V. 15. "I will put emunity . . . between thy seed and her seed." This was a perpetual symbolic representation of the conflict between the Satanic being who made use of the serpent, and the children of men, a warfare not yet ended, but raging as intensely as ever. Of the final victory of man over evil, by Jesus Christ, nothing could have been known to early man, but he could see victory for himself and descendants, with such comfort of hope as we look forward to the final triumph of the millennial days. Practical Points. The tempter gains power over the innocent by first undermining their faith in God. He sowed doubts in their hearts. Every one must fight the battle of life, and gain the victory, if he would be a true man and good. No one can enter upon the great world of life and usefulness without first being tempted and tried. Thus at the beginning of the Christian life comes the great temptation—the battle as to who shall rule the soul: its success is conversion, the entrance upon the new and the true life.

At no time can a man of business (Colorad) approach a merchant and ask for an advertisement for a news- paper ‘bat what he is almost insulted about what some other fellow has done. When we are allowed to ex- plain they begin to tell us about what and how some grafter fleeced them, anil they never have seen the paper. After listening to them we have come to the conclusion that they have a just complaint. Newspapers that are contyolied ‘by Colored men ought to rombine and drive these newspaper bloodsuckers and grafters out of St. Louis, and unless this is done the others newspapers will stand guilty of the same crime. ‘The above editorial was written by J. W. Wheeler in 1898, and it is yet g00d. ‘Lct Members and Officers of Other Temples Attend to Their ‘Own Business. We wish to say that Siste: “Lucy True, of St. Louis, is appointed over the temples in South Misséuri, and ‘we trust that the busy-body or med. dling members of other temples will stay at home and attend to their own ‘vusiness, if they have any. Sister True is subject to the grand master, and what she does she is re- sponsible only to him, and we be. Mieves that she understands the law and the working of our Order of the Ss. M. T. Last week the Rip Eaw column of the Palladinm caused quite a stir in St. Lonis. More is yet to come and we intend to keep tab on the crim. inal class and point out to the moth. ers and fathers the blood suckers who turn the heads of the young unsophistt cated girls. The girls and mothers of St. Louis must learn to understand one thing and that is this: Men that never work must steal, and if they steal their mugs will be in the rogues’ gallery at the Four Courts. The United Brothers of Friend: ‘ip and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten have bought the building and grounds of the Negro Jefferson club at 2629 Lawton avenue for the round sum of $7,500 as a home and headquarters for this institution, numbering 1,000 in this city and 7,000 in our state. This has been done for the purpose of instilling in our people “union.” In the social and religious life we must be united. WHAT WE WouLD Like To SEE é IN ST. LOUIS. A first-class chiropodist in St. Louis that will do the work. A first-class Negro girl that is not likely to be common to all men. _ A first-class reporter for a Negro newspaper and one that will not steal. attend to the wants of its customers and not pay £0 much attention to dudes. A first-class saloon where you can get two drinks of whiskey for 20 cents —not keep the nickel that drives your customer away. A first-class saloon where qe bar. Keeper does not continually beg for @ treat, nor the proprietor is not so fresh. A saloon keeper that will give back the right change—not take a two dol lar bill and give back 80 cents for change out of two dollars. Fewer school girls gong down tc the city jail to see their beaux, who have their pictures in the rouges gallery, Fewer mothers who will allow their daughters to keep company with mer at 11:30 o'clock at night. Let them look a leetle out.” Mp. 3. A dela: Mea. | Allow me to ask a few pertinent ‘questions through the columns of your valuable paper, the organ of the U. B. F. and ». M. T. Can a man who is a registered voter and whose family and himself live in another stata hold of fice in our grand lodge? When there are plenty of brothers who live in our state that are capable of holding office? Is this right? Our constitn- tion says he can not. Can a man who lives in Illinois be governor of Mis- souri or any state officer? These are questions asked and to be thought of in our coming election. Right wrongs no man. Let me answer another ques- tion. When I was grandmaster there was no salary attached to the said office; all was allowed was traveling expenses and $2 per day during the session of the grand lodge and that was all he got, and I have paid out of my own pocket to get the minutes out because there was no money in the treasury—those were pioneer days when men did not seék office, be- cause no salary was attached. Now I am glad indeed to see and live to see our beloved institution grow and thrive as she has to be second to none. A magnificent order and may she stake her stakes deeper and lengthen her borders. Glorious order, sail on, sail great leviation until her millions are into the harbor of rest and repose. C. H. TANDY. Thos. L. Sydnor, paper hanger, 3990 Papine st. Bell ‘phone, Lindell, 1453.

"I have been particularly benefited by its use for colds in the head and throat. I have been able to fully cure myself of a most severe attack in forty-eight hours by its use according to directions. I use it as a preventive whenever threatened with an attack. "Members of my family also use it for like ailments. We are recommending it to our friends." —Chas. W. Bowman. Ask Your Druggist for Free Peruna Almanac for 1907. Sound Law in New Book. A. C. Fox-Davis, a London lawyer, who has written 54 volumes, mainly on the peerage and law, has broken into the field of fiction with a detective story in which he warrants that the law is all right. He wrote the book just because he found the law all wrong in one of the best of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Always to Be Depended Upon. When a person gets up in the morning with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain indication that the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order. At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century. They are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used when doctors were few and far between, and when people had to have a remedy that could absolutely be depended upon. Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon, and are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated Newspapers for the Blind. Newspaper. The announcement that the London Daily Mall is about to issue a weekly edition for the blind, draws attention to the other British journals published in Braille type, which have had a long and useful career, though they have seldom been seen by the general public. The first weekly newspaper for the blind was published on June 1, 1892, and called the Weekly Summary. It has always been issued below cost price, and its promoters derive no benefit from its publication. Another was started only last year, called the Braille Weekly, and issued from Edinburgh. Transformation in New Mexico. "Three seasons of rainfall have transformed New Mexico from an expanse of unproductive territory into a country of bountiful crops, running streams and happy, prosperous people," is the report which E. W. Fox, register of the government land office at Clayton, N. M., brought to Washington—Washington Post. DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES CURES RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES BACKACHE discontinued. The use of any milfatations. The public may only buy in offices. READERS of this paper de- siring to buy any thing advertised in its columns should insist upon having what they ask for, refusing all substi- tutes or imitations. Missouri Legislature The first indication that a serious turn of mind has been taken by the general assembly was given practical demonstration Monday in the character of the measures, or, more properly speaking, of some of them among those proposed in both the senate and the house. It may be that the spirit of buncombe has at last run its course, and that from this time forward here will be a minimum of radical bills. If, however, the quality of the product poured into the legislative hopper has shown improvement in monday's grist, there has been but scant diminution in the quantity, for the average in the house in this respect was maintained, fifty-seven bills being introduced in that branch of the assembly, the total being 377. Important bills that came in during the session Monday, taking both branches of the assembly into consideration, included those taxing futures; the board o. control; another providing for a property qualification of voters through the medium of a poll tax, to be paid only in cash, and the Senator Gardner measure prohibiting publication in newspapers or in any other form of the result of speed contests, whether they take place within or without the state, and the Dowell bill, requiring every transaction in which there is not actual delivery of the goods to pay a tax of 25 cents into the state treasury. This latter measure would unquestionably prove to be a champion revenue producer in event that it is ever spread upon the statute books, as it is estimated that it would, in the course of ten years, furnish sufficient revenue to construct asphaltum highways from one end of the state to the other. The home rule bill introduced by Mr. Sherman of Buchanan lodges control of the metropolitan police forces in St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph with these municipalities. Just what will be the fate of the measure it is not possible to forecast at this time. Another bill of general importance is that of Mr. Simmons, providing for a system of text-books. HOUSE Representative Burch, of Audrain county, introduced a bill to hold all telephone and telegraph companies liable for secrecy of messages and mistakes in transmission and giving the injured party the right to recover $50 in an action for damages. The special committee sent to St. James to investigate the stories concerning the management of the federal soldiers' home there and the dishonesty charged against some of the former administrations, reported to the house Monday. The report declared there was direct evidence both for and against the late superintendent, but that it was made clear his resignation was not demanded upon political grounds. It also stated that the home had been and was being well conducted. The committee was discharged. Representative Muir is after the insurance men who receive a big salary. In a bill introduced by him he provides that no domestic life insurance company doing business in this state shall pay to any of its officers, trustees or directors a salary in excess of $5,000, and that any life insurance company paying a salary or allowing emoluments exceeding $50,000 shall not be licensed to transact business in this state. Representative Emerson introduced a resolution petitioning congress not to further extend the time for the construction of a bridge across the Missouri river between Clay and Jackson counties, on which are known as the Winner pliers. Those pliers, he stated, were completed in 1886, and have since stood as an obstacle to others who might desire to bridge the river at that point. Hereafter all probate judges and all judges of county courts throughout the state must give a bond in the sum of $5,000 before entering upon the discharge of their official duties, if a bill introduced by Representative Swiers becomes a law. All trust companies and financial institutions, exclusive of building and loan associations and national banks, are to be placed under the supervision of State Bank Commissioner if a bill introduced by Representative Humphrey, of Plate County, in the House Thursday morning, passes. The measure requires that the banks be taken from the supervision of the Secretary of State and placed in the hands of a Bank Commissioner, who is to be an appointee of the Governor at a salary of $3,5000 a year. He and his deputy must have had at least three years' experience in the banking business. LEGISLATIVE NOTES Representative Dale of Andrew county has heard so many persons talk of the barrel of apples his predecessor, the late Representative Moser, sent to the general assembly, that he has confided to Railroad Clerk Reed of the state auditor's department, his intention to do likewise. Representatives Barker of Macon and Traughber of Carroll and Senator Hudson of Livingston were all born in Carroll county, where all of them resided until after they had reached their majority. Representative Humphrey stated that the bill was drawn up at the request of the Missouri Bankers' Association. There will be eight examiners who will visit every bank and trust company in the State once a year. Another provision requires that three of the directors of each bank shall make a personal inspection of the condition of the account at least twice a year and forward the report to the Bank Commissioner, the same to be regarded as a strictly confidential communication. Representative Austin Biggs, of St. Louis, offered an amendment to the election laws to increase the salaries of the judges and clerks of election for the City of St. Louis from $4 to $5 a day and to allow them $2.50 a day for every day they are called upon to visit the Election Commission's office. Speaker Atkinson, of the house of representatives, on Wednesday announced the standing committees of that branch of the general assembly. Not a chairmanship was given to the S* Louis members, but it was at their own request. Every candidate for speaker of the house of representatives gets a chairmanship of some committee, and the other democratic members of the house are taken care of by appointments on important committees. SENATE. Senator Dorris presented a joint and concurrent resolution providing for an amendment to the constitution to empower any city, town or village of 20-00 inhabitants to own and operate a street railroad or railroad system and to have the power to take and condemn private property for any street railroad upon just compensation. Senator Dowell introduced a bill making provision for working convicts in the penitentiary on the public roads of the state. He applies features of the law now in force in the state of Arkansas. Under his bill the board of inspectors of the state prison will be requested to supply to each county in the state making application for the same, not to exceed fifty convicts each year, who shall be employed on the roads and bridges of the county under the direction and discipline of the sheriff of the county and his deputies. The county must be at the expense of transporting the convicts to and from the penitentiary and must make provision for caring for them suitably and the men are not to be supplied until the inspectors are satisfied that this provision has been made. Senator Avvry introduced a bill providing that no person shall vote for himself or herself as a director, officer or employee on stock held by them as trustee, of any corporation, organized under the general laws of the state, whereby they receive remuneration, salary or advantages. Senator Gardner, of St. Louis county, introduced a bill prohibiting the publication in any form of the result of a speed contest, either within or without the state, either in a newspaper, by pamphlets, handbill or in writing. It is directed at the "handbooks, and Senator Gardner's object is to cut off all the sources of information pertaining to the horse racing events. The penalty provided is a fine of from $100 to $1,000 for each offense. Senator Gilmore presented a bill granting the power to certain cities to regulate the rate at which electricity and gas can be sold. He explained that the bill applies to Kansas City, and was drawn to meet conditions existing there, which he said were bad enough in that regard to demand legislative remedy. Senator Dorris, of Oregon, introduced a bill in the Senate Thursday making it unlawful for any business corporation, either in its own name or the name of any person, to own, hold, control or vote the stock of any other corporation. The bill provides that if a majority of the stockholders small permit the shares of stock owned by another corporation in the corporation of which they are stockholders to be voted, or if majority shall permit its business and affairs to be controlled by another corporation, then the Attorney General may bring proceedings to forfeit its charter. State Treasurer Gmelich is going to stand on his record of two years ago and refuse to cash warrants for members and employees of the Legislature until after the appropriation bills have passed and been approved by the Governor. He is clearly within the law in so doing, but all of his predecessors honored requests from the Legislature and cashed these warrants, and then held them against the appropriations, thus saving an endless amount of annoyance, to say nothing of the small losses everyone must have sustained in having his warrants shaved. Arrangements have been made with the Mercantile Trust Company of St. Louis, under which it will cash these warrants, in Jefferson City the 2d and 16th of each month, at the nominal cost of one-half of 1 per cent. Senator Dorris introduced a bill which he said was not an administration measure, but was along the line of the series of anti-trust bills, and sought to attain an end in the same direction. It provides that it shall be unlawful for any business corporation to own, hold, control or vote the stock of another corporation. Official Reporter Daniels is a school teacher.

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA. Will Open Up Immense Area of Free Homestead Lands. The railway facilities of Western Canada have been taxed to the utermost in recent years to transfer the surplus grain crop to the eastern markets and the seaboard. The large influx of settlers and the additional area put under crop have added largely to the grain product, and notwithstanding the increased railway facilities that have been placed at the disposal of the public, the question of transportation has proved to be a serious one. It will, therefore, be good news to everyone interested in Western Canada to know that an authoritative statement has been given out by C. M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, that that railway will do its share towards moving the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to tide water, and thus assist in removing a serious obstacle which has faced the settlers during recent years. Mr. Hays, who has just completed a trip from Portage la Prairie to Edmonton in a prairie schooner, a distance of 735 miles, which was covered in eighteen days, is enthusiastic about the country. This will be gratifying to settlers in the Canadian West, even if Mr. Hays declines to be bound to a time limit with the exactitude of a stop-watch. The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be in a position to take part in the transportation of the crop of 1907, and that will be satisfactory to the settlers in that country when the harvest is garnered. The wheat crop of 1906 in Western Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels, and, with the increased acreage which is confidently expected to be put under crop next year, it is safely calculated that fully 125,000,000 bushels will be harvested in 1907. The necessity for increased transportation facilities are, therefore, apparent, and the statement made by Mr. Hays will bring encouragement to the farmers of the Canadian West, new and old. The opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads is thus assured by the agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears else where. Has Seen Much of Life. John Avery Mellhenny, recently nominated a civil service commissioner, though only 26 years old, has put two girdles round about the earth, has killed big game in Africa and has fought in a real (though small) war. Besides being a former rough rider, he is one of the richest men in Louisiana. His pepper farm on Avery island, Iberia parish, is famous, and so is the huge factory in which he makes pepper sauce. Two years ago the Mellhenys entertained the president's older daughter, now Mrs. Longworth, in their New Orleans home at carnival time and last year the president himself was their guest. 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. Sixty Years a Lamplighter Timothy Boldra, who has died at Yarmouth, England, at the age of 81 years, had been in the service of the local gas company more than 60 years and before that, as a youth, was employed to light the street oil lamps with a flint and steel. Old Adage Corroborated. Corroboration of the old saying that "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" is found in an item which announces that a western milionaire is going to marry his cook. THE FIRST TWINGE Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr. Williams Pink Pills If You Would Be Easily Cured, Mr. Frank Little, a well known citizen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was cured of a severe case of rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In speaking about it recently, he said: 'My body was run down and in no condition to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheumatic pains in my arms and across my back. My arms and legs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I could hardly move, while my arms were useless at times. I was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart pained me so terribly I could hardly stand it. My stomach became sour and bloated after eating and this grew so bad that I had inflammation of the stomach. I was extremely nervous and could not bear the least noise or excitement. One whole side of my body became paralyzed. "As I said before, I had been suffering about five years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when a friend here in Port land told me how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured him of neuralgia in the face, after the pain had drawn it to one side. I decided to try the pills and began to see some improvement soon after using them. This encouraged me to keep on until I was entirely cured. I have never had a return of the rheumatism or of the paralysis. The pills are for sale by all drug gists or sent, postpaid, on receipt or price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medical Company, Schenectadie, N. Y. U. B. F. & S. M. T.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER. German Dector Explains Causes of Various Formations. At a recent convention of German naturalists and doctors Dr. Walcher, of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper put forth a sensational theory to ex- plain the formation of the shape of the head of infants. He maintained that the head of a child could be molded artificially. He found by ex- perience that when a medium-shaped head is placed in a soft cushion the child turns on its back, or rests on the back of its head, in order to free mouth, nose and face. In this manner the head rests smoothly, and a short head is developed. But if the medium- shaped head of a child is placed on a hard under-rest, like a hair mattress or rolled carpet, the child's head turns aside, as it cannot stand any more on iis head than an egg, for the muscle of the back is weakened. ‘Therefore, with continued resting on the side a long head ts developed. To prove his assertions the lecturer pre- sented a child whese mother and sis- ter are short-headed. The child at its birth had a short head, now after 18 months it is long skulled. If the child had been placed on its back, according to other experiences its head would have been short-shaped. Dr. Walcher did not deny that the shape of the head was inherited, but asserted that it could be greatly influenced by the way the child rested. COSTLY PRESSURE. Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee. A resident of a great western. state puts the case regarding stimulants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says: “Lam 56 years cld and have had con- siderable experience with stimulants. ‘They are all alike—a mortgage on re- served energy at ruinous interest. As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Postum Food coffee some months ago. ‘The beneficial results have been ap- parent from the first. The rheumatism that I used to suffer from has left me. I sleep sounder, my nerves are stead- ter and my brain clearer, And I bear testimony also to the food value of Postum—something that is lacking in coffee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suf- fered 10 Years— Completely Cured by Cuticura. “When I was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs. I scratched them with a brass pin and shortly afterwards both of those limbs became so sore that I could scarcely walk. When I had been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been. From that time on- ward I was troubled by such severe itching that, until I became accus- tomed to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This would stop the itching for a few days, but scaly places would appear again and the itching would accom- pany them. After I suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. ‘The best doctors in my native coun- ty advised me to use arsenic in small doses and a salye. I then used to bathe the sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In ad- dition I used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zine salve, —'s Salve, —— Ointment, and in fact I was continually giving some remedy a fair trial, never using less than one of two boxes or bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair Bogan to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald, I used ——'s —, but it did no good. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment, having previously used Cuticura Soap and being pleased with it, After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of sut- fering and an expenditure of at least $50 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to find a cure.

HIS WIFE WAS UNFAITHFUL Shelbyville Young Man Was Wedded to St. Louis Woman, Who Is Said Joseph Asbrook, who was sent from Shelbyville to the insane hospital at Jacksonville several weeks ago with the hope that speical treatment would restore his shattered mental power, died at that institution at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. On June 30, 1906, Joseph Asbrook led to the hymenal altar Miss Leona Hopson, a teacher in one of the schools for Colored children at St. Louis. The young couple started out in their new sphere in life with the brightest prospects. Supreme and lasting happiness seemed to be their future. The husband idolized his wife and trusted her implicitly in everything. The wife seemed to return the confidence that was imposed on her by her liege lord. Alas, when the biting winds of autumn came, bringing down the seared leaves of oak and linden, it is said the woman's love paled. The husband brooded over the turn of affairs in his little household. The wife's affections at last became cold, and it is said she went to a bank and drew out $1,200, the life savings of her husband, and, returning home, ored him from the house. The heart-broken man came to the home of his parents in this city. When he arrived here it was noticed that he was melancholy and seemed afraid that some unseen enemy was attempting to poison him. He finally became violent and was taken to the insane hospital for treatment. Joseph Asbrook, the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Asbrook, was born in Windsor, November 13, 1875. At an early age he was baptized in the A. M. E. church in this city. He was an ambitious, upright young man. His moral character was beyond reproach. His seemingly untimely end is regretted by a large circle of friends. The remains arrived in Shelbyville Monday. The funeral was held Tuesday.—Exchange.
