To the Most Worthy Vice Princess and Members of the Gilbert Temple No 97. of Kansas City, Mo.: We, the past and present grand officers, past and present masters and Princesses of the different lodges and temples of Kansas City, beg leave to submit the following, on our sacred head. We feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of ours which should attempt to beguile you from the gulf of a loss so overwhelming, but we can not refrain from tendering to you our sympathy; we pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost. Sister Matatcher was a noble woman, yea a woman of God and no more will we meet her in this earthly temple, hear her words of cheer or grasp her loving hand, but when our work on earth is done, when our race shall have been run, our victory won, we hope to greet her where we will enjoy together forever that peace which pass all understanding. Let the passing away of our companion remind us that we are mortals and that ere long we shall pass within the veil. May it be ours to hear the Grand Master Overseer say, "You are entitled to your wages, enter and enjoy." Whereas, Our Supreme Head doeth all things well; be it I Resolved. That we bow with humble submission and acknowledgment of our great Father wisdom and the justice of His ways, for he doth not routinely afflict or grieve the children and men. Resolved. That in the death of our beloved sister, Annie Thatatcher, your sample has sustained a great loss in being forever deprived of the presence, wisdom, counsel and advice of our associate, yet we trust that our loss is her gain. Resolved. That we cherish her memory and emulate her example. We feel that we are voicing the sentiments of this entire order in the following lines: Be it. Resolved. That we are in profound supathy with the bereaved ones. We recommend the obituary be pub- lished in the St. Louis Palladium, the organ of the U. B. F. and S. M. T., and a copy presented to the family of the deceased. F. C. WEST, M. E. WALKER, S. A. MOORE, Committee. Somewhere in the Alkoran we read that when one dies, men ask what wealth did they have, but the recording angel with waiting pen, asks what good did they do on earth in our rushing commercial age, where the almighty dollar is too often esteemed the chief good. We are perhaps too much inclined to forget the more important duties of life and the vital question of the Recording Angel if we follow the true teachings of the fraternity conforming our lives to its principles. The angel will record that we not only loved and worshiped God, but that we loved and did good to our fellow men. In the genial sunlight of our association let us cultivate the social virtues. The path of sorrow, and that path alone. Leads to the land where sorrow is unknown. 1870 37th Anniversary of WILL BE C FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15 Quinn Chapel A Good Program Will Be Rendered U Harris.....Admi H. A. Cockrell, Secretary ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, FERBUARY 2, 1907. As the shadows chase the sunlight and darkness follows day, so sorrow ever walks in close companionship with joy. There are no lands whose skies are always cloudless nor is any inhabitant without tears in life. We are in the midst of death; every wave of memory brings up some dead face and from the depths of the great sea of the past and with a sad and plaintive requiem lays it at our feet. Sleep on, dead, and when that sleep becomes our portion, too, may others calling up the past speak well of us as we of you. It is with deep sorrow that I report the death of a loving wife, devoted mother, kind sister and earnest Christian Annie Thatcher, which occurred at her home on Pacific street Monday, Dec. 3, 1906. Sister Thatcher was elected most worthy princess of Gilbert Temple No. 97 in the year 1895, which office she held until her death. Her love for the Sisters of the S. M. T. was unbounded and she exemplified in her daily life and conversation its most beautiful teachings and characteristics she was in many respects an extraordinary woman and few, if any, could pass one hour in the genial sunshine of her presence and companionship and not be impressed with her splendid graces of heart and mind. She was endowed by nature with a wonderful force of character. She was a born leader of women and was eminently just, upright and faithful in the discharge of her temple duties; her services to the Grand Temple, of which she was a grand officer, was performed with signal ability. She was a nestor in council, an Ajax when the fight was on; she was ever ready to reward merit with approval and to reprimand inefficiency or neglectfulness. She was ever ready to give advice to those who sought it and won high honors and achieved great distinction as a Princess. The announcement of her death was a shock, and the calling of our dear sister from this to a better world above should serve to remind us all, old and young, that at a time when we least expect it the angel of death may light upon us and remove us hence. Let us all, brothers and sisters, strive to be ready to obey the summons from our Supreme, when He, in his wisdom, shall call, Sister Annie Thatcher was an earnest Christian. In her church she was faithful and self-sacrificing and it was befitting therefore that after a long and well-spent life, loved by her sisters, honored by her fellow citizens, surrounded by her loved ones, she should have peacefully gone to her final rest in the full assurance of a glorious immortality. Peace to her ashes. Rest from thy labor, thy race is run; Thy goal is gained, the victory won. Rest from thy cares, thy sorrows o'er, For tine is peace forever more. Beyond life's toils and cares, Its hopes and joys, its weariness and sorrow, Its sleepless nights, its days of smiles and tears To the glories of that land beyond death's river Its crystal lakes its fields of living shun Around the throne forever.

Jones, of Mississippi, Their Fraternal Delegate to England. At their hall on Franklin avenue last night, the Negro Odd Fellows of the city entertained their friends in honor of Dr. Jones, their guest. Promptly at 8 p.m. m. the orchestra, according to programme, rendered "My Country Tis of Thee," and after prayer, Dr. Jones was introduced by Past Grand Master A. H. Haskel and he was received with applause by the large and representative audience. He spoke of the industrial development so necessary to the Negroes' future and advised them against a life of ease, but encouraged energy and perseverance as the successful levers by which we could hope to climb. In speaking of his own state, Mississippi, he paid a glowing tribute to the people of his state and showed that the Colored Odd Fellows of that state paid out for their widows and orphans over $144,000 during the last year. The meeting was arranged by P. G. M. J. L. Todd, Blakely Hutchison, J. H. Greenlee, B. W. Williams, J. H. Mayes, C. W. Brown and R. H. Brown and they are highly pleased over the results.

St. Louis Palladium. It is sad when our friends depart, but it is worse when our virtues die. Until the sultan engaged a European artillery expert, Raisulil didn't know that the imperial forces were firing at him. Bomb-throwing seems to be on the increase in this country. Funny that it isn't applauded as it is when it happens away off in Russia. Philologists have found that originally the word chauffeur meant murderous brigand. How in the world could the meaning of it ever have been so changed? There is reassurance for Mr. Atwood in the words from Bevin that surgery can now attach a beheaded man's head to the trunk again, that is unless the man has lost his head entirely. Parisians, who like to have a designating epithet for everything and everybody, call the actresses who ride in touring cars, wrapped up in automobile coats, "the little bears of the boulevards." We are having the kind of a winter in which a shrewd husband can make a big hit with his wife and at the same time experience no personal discomfort by getting up to light the kitchen fire. The burning of the bride's toys is part of the wedding ceremony in Japan. The bride lights a torch which she hands to the bridegroom, who with it lights a fire in which the toys are destroyed. When the United States gets that biggest battleship in the world the secretary of the navy wants, her saucy ship will be a beauty that will attract the admiration of the globe. She will, in fact, be the belle of the seas. The biggest gain in numbers of immigrants last year was from Italy, Russia, Greece, Turkey and the orient. It should not be rashly said that this is not cause for congratulation. It may be in the places they came from. John E. Wilkie, chief of the secret service, is one of the best amateur magicians in the country. He performs wonders with a deck of cards and his sleight-of-hand maneuvers with coin, handkerchiefs and other objects are a source of constant wonder to his friends. An invention of Frau Antolnette Arntzen and exhibited at the recent musical exposition in Berlin consists of a method of increasing the resonance of the voice by inserting a film under the roof of the mouth, making a sort of sounding board. The apparatus is intended for the use of orators, officers, sea captains, etc., as well as for singers. A new company capitalized at $6,000,000 has been formed by John D. Spreckles, Jr., William Clayton and Harry L. Titus, with the avowed purpose of building a railroad from San Diego, Cal., to Yuma, Ariz., by way of the Imperial valley. The articles of incorporation have been filed in San Diego, and the official title of the corporation is the San Diego & Arizona Railway company. In commemoration of the rare fore-sight and wisdom and the indomitable courage which led William H. Seward, then secretary of state, to induce an unwilling congress to purchase Alaska for his country the citizens of Seattle will erect a monument to commemorate the act which has endeared the grand old statesman to the people of the northwest. It is planned to complete the monument in time for the Alaska-Yukon Pacific exposition, which is to be held in the summer of 1909. The New Zealand International exhibition, now in progress, is the most important one ever held in Australasia. It covers 14 acres, and the cost of the main buildings is estimated at $500,000, though the entire expenditures before opening were probably three times that, sum. All nations were invited to exhibit, and it is regretted that American Manufacturers did not respond. The Standard Oil company, through its New Zealand representative, is the only American concern with an exhibit. Work seems to be waiting for the person who can do it. In Detroit the employment agencies are said to be practically idle because there are few out of work. In Boston a free state employment bureau, opened on December 3, announced in an advertisement printed on the Saturday before, that it had on its books demand for more than 400 workers at wages varying from five dollars a month and board for a boy, to $50 a week for workers in an electrical shop. A Philadelphia minister claims Adam was a negro, but the claim doesn't seem well founded. If he had been, no doubt he would have claimed he was kicked out of the garden on account of his color. An Indiana boy who was impelled to lick every kid he met, but found too many, must have thought that he was destined to become a captain of industry. Although it rejected simplified spelling, the house was afraid to go back on simplified salaries. DRESSMAKING PARLOR AT 2726 MORGAN ST. Such as Ladies' Tailoring and Fashionable Dressmaking. MRS.

FRANK MONTGOMERY DEALER IN 80 OR MORE DUST EXPLODES IN MINE AND MEN WERE IMPRISONED 500 FEET BELOW. HORROR IN W. VIRGINIA The Detonation Heard for Miles— Worst Mine Accident That Ever Occurred in the State—The Attempt at Rescue. Charleston, W. Va.—With a detonation heard for miles, and hurling debris hundreds of feet in the air, dust in the Stuart mine near Fayetteville, exploded, bringing a terrible death to 80 or more who were at work 500 feet below the usrface. There is no chance that any will be taken out alive, for it is thought that the terrific explosion snuffed out their lives instantly. It will not be possible for rescuers to reach the bottom of the shaft for 48 hours. The disaster is perhaps the worst in the number of killed in the history of this state. Most of the men were Americans, and many of them were married and had large families. There were a dozen or more colored men and about 20 aliens among the victims. Rescue Work. The rescue work was begun as soon as the shaft house could be repaired. About two hours after the explosion three men were lowered into the shaft in an improvised butcket. Before descending 60 feet two were overcome and the third was barely able to give the signal to hoist. Further attempts were abandoned. Air was supplied to the mine by several large fans, but the mechanism was damaged, and the fans were idle about two hours. The fans have been started again, and if the men were not all killed it may be that they will have air enough to survive until the rescues reach them. The Stuart mine has only one opening, although an entry has been driven to connect with a parallel mine a short distance away. The shaft has three compartments, two for the cages and one for air. Smoke and dust poured into the air shaft for hundreds of feet from the ventilating compartment and it was wrecked. It is stated that nearly all the men were at work in the entries near the bottom of the shaft. No official announcement of the disaster or its cause has as yet been made by the officers of the company. That dust caused the explosion is stated by persons at the scene, but the investigation may prove otherwise. The Stuart mine is 568 feet deep. The mine is located on the White Oak Fuel Co.'s private line, about four miles from Fayetteville. It has been in operation three years. About 20 foreigners, whose names have not been ascertained, were also killed, it is thought A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. For the Homeseeker, the Healthseeker or the Investor. To those who are seeking a new country, where there are broad virgin fields for profitable endeavor; where one may "get in on the ground floor" in limitless industries, and yet remain in direct touch with the great world, not isolated from the marts of trade nor the pleasures of congenial association; to those who are seeking homes in a temperate climate, free from extremes of heat and cold; a land of health and opportunity, the territory along the line of the Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City railroad is most inviting. To one who traverses this line of railroad the wonder grows that such lands, near old-established centers, should have remained so long undeveloped. A true story of the opportunities for town-building, colonization, founding of manufacturing enterprises, and securing land for farming purposes is told in a booklet entitled "Along the Line of the Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City Railroad," which is sent free by L. L. Lawrence, manager immigration and industrial department, Laurel, Miss. RUSSIA NEEDS OUR WHEAT. The Crop in That Country Is a Failure. St. Petersburg—On account of the failure of the local wheat crop, Russia this year will be a purchaser of American wheat, and the first shipload will arrive soon at Riga, from London, on its way to Ryblnsk. The price on the Russian market probably will be $1.15 a bushel, which is 7c under the local price. Other cargoes have been ordered. DESPERATE IN NORTH DAKOTA. People Will Burn Railroad Property for Fuel. Washington—A telegram to the interstate commerce commission from New Rockford, N. D., says the coal situation there is so desperate that the people will soon burn railroad property. From points along the Soo, Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroad comes information about stalled trains and deserted engines. THE JAPANESE QUESTION CALIFORNIA DELEGATION CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT. President of San Francisco Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools Summoned. Washington—After a two hours' conference at the White House regarding the Japanese question on the Pacific coast, the California delegation, in conference, authorized the following statement: Full and Harmonious Discussion "The California delegation had a very full and harmonious discussion with the president, the secretary of state and the secretary of the navy on the serious question relating to the Japanese on the Pacific coast. The character of the decision leads us to feel confident that a solution will be reached satisfactory to all concerned. Frisco School Officials Summoned. "The result of the meeting is that the delegation has telegraphed to the president of the San Francisco board of education and the superintendent of the schools to come to Washington at once for a conference with the president and secretary of state. Approved by President. Members of the California delegation, who participated in the conference, have pledged to vexey and refuse to talk of the matter discussed with the president further than what is contained in the statement of he California delegation. The statement was given out by Representative Hayes, and was prepared in the president's office and approved by President Roosevelt. Present Treaty Expires March 12. The existing treaty between the United States and Japan will expire March 12 this year. President Roosevelt has heretofore assured the members of congress from California that he would endeavor to form a new treaty with the Japanese empire which would meet with their entire approval, and at the same time prove satisfactory to the Tokyo government. The Californians have in the past insisted on an exclusion act to bar Japanese coolies out of the United States, but it is hinted, as a result of the conference, that Senators Perkins and Flint, and the members of the house of representatives from that state, have practically agreed to waive this demand and leave it to President Roosevelt to negotiate a new convention that will keep Japanese coolie labor out of this country. What Japan Will Do. Japan has made it clear that she will only consider a treaty that is mutual, and what concessions this government has been asked to make have not been made public. It is admitted at the Japanese embassy that Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, has discussed the proposed treaty with the president, and that they are in perfect accord. The second secretary of the embassy, Mr. Hanihara, stated that Japan did not encourage her laborers to come to this country. School Directors Start. San Francisco, Cal.-School Directors Walsh and Roncovierei will leave for Washington immediately in response to President Roosevelt's invitation. They declare that they are determined not to accept any compromise in the matter of Japanese attending public schools other than those set aside for orientals. The board of education will have a special meeting to consider the subject. California Legislature Halts Sacramento, Cal.—Gov. Gillette has received a telegram from Washington, signed by the California delegation, urging him to ask the legislature to defer all action on Japanese matters. The message caused much stir among the members of both houses when the knowledge of its receipt and contents became noised about. Gov. Gillette was soon in consultation with the leaders of the senate and assembly, and has prepared a formal message to the legislature, which will be read to both houses. Leading senators and assemblymen declare that the requests from the congressional delegation will be granted. GREAT FREIGHT BLOCKADE Santa Claus Has Not Yet Reached Many Northwestern Towns. Minneapolis, Minn.—Two thousand cars of freight are being held by the Great Northern in Minneapolis waiting for lines to be cleared and engines to move them. All are loaded with merchandise consigned to points all over the northwest, including thousands of dollars' worth of Christmas goods that have not yet arrived at their destination. AT THE SACRED GROTTO. Franciscan, Armenian and Greek Monks Battle There. Rome—The Jerusalem correspondent of the Corriere D'Italia says in a dispatch that the sacred grotto at Bethlehem has been the scene of a conflict between Franciscan, Armenian and Greek monks, in which two of the first mentioned were wounded. The local authorities and the French and Italian consuls are investigating. SHAW TELLS THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MISSOUR:ANS GATHER AT BANQUET TABLE. ABOUT OUR MONEY The Secretary of the Treasury Advocates an Elastic Currency—Believes It Would Cure Financial Ills. New York—The Missouri Society of New York city gave its annual banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria. Three hundred and fifty sons of Missouri were present. The guest of honor was Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who spoke on "Pending Financial Legislation" saying in part: Our Only Currency Weakness. "The only weakness in our currency is want of elasticity. The root of evil is not an inadequate volume of circulation, but a want of responsiveness in the volume of circulating medium. A currency which fails to contract when money is plentiful and cheap will, of course, fall to expand when money is scarce and dear. Credit currency—by which I mean currency against which no collateral is demanded—is the only elastic currency known to man. Much has been said in favor of the adoption of a system of credit currency in this country. If we were creating a new system, I am inclined to think it would be the one adopted. It is logical and reasonable. Credit Currency Elastic. "Naturally, unrestricted credit currency is elastic. No more is issued than is needed, and when it is no longer needed it retires automatically. "If any legislation is to be had, let it be solely for the purpose of relieving the country from these frequently-recurring stringencies. We are confronted several times a year with conditions admissibly dangerous. Let a plan be devised which will effectually protect against this danger and all will be well. "I doubt not the legislation proposed would prove profitable to national banks, especially elsewhere than in reserve and central reserve cities, but I do not believe it would result in any perceptible elasticity." DIED FROM GRIEF. Death of Widow of Former Senator Bowen, of Colorado. Pueblo, Col.-The widow of the late former United States Senator Thomas M. Bowen, of Pueblo, died here from grief over her husband's death a month ago today. Mrs. Bowen had been ill from Bright's disease some time before Senator Bowen died, and after his death she began to fail rapidly, and frequently expressed the wish to die. Mrs. Bowen was born at Van Buren, Ark., 68 years ago, being a Miss Thurston. Her mother was a member of the Walker family of Missouri, prominent in southern history and social life. SENATOR ALGER'S WILL. With Exception of $20,000, All Goes to Widow and Children. Detroit, Mich.—The will of the late Senator R. A. Alger, filed in the probate court, leaves all of his estate, estimated to be worth several millions, except $20,000, to his widow and five children. The senator's brother, Charles M. Alger, Hannibal, Mo., is left $10,000, and any debts owed by Charles M. Alger to the estate are canceled. Firemen Saved Lives. Chicago—Two dozen women and children narrowly escaped death when flames attacked the Lanphere apartment building at Sixty-sixth street and Monroe avenue. The fire blocked the main stairway. Fifteen people, penned in by the flames on the fourth floor, were carried down ladders by the firemen. It was reported for a time that a woman and her child had been burned to death, but it was later found that they had been taken from the building. The damage amounted to about $10,000. Old Powder Maker Dead New York-Solomon Turck, the oldest explosive powder manufacturer in the country, is dead at his home here, aged 79. Mr. Turck was twice democratic mayor of Dubuque, Ia. In 1872 he left Dubuque for New York. Editor James Todd Dead Maryville, Mo.-James Todd, 60 years old, died at his residence in this city. He had been editor of the Nodaway Democrat for 32 years, and was well known throughout the state. He leaves a wife and five children. For Famine Sufferers in China. Washington-The National Red Cross society has cabled an additional $5,000 for the famine sufferers in China, making a total of $25,000 in money and supplies sent by the society to that country.

IMPORTANT THAT THEY SHOULD BE WASHED DAILY. Much Discomfort and Even Danger of Loss or Impairment of Sight May Be Avoided by Precautions. "Don't be careless of the eyes during cold weather. Bathe them frequently. Protect them from both wind and dust, particularly the latter, which I believe causes most of the inflamed eyeballs and swollen lids that are now so prevalent," says Dr. George Houston Bell, prominent oculist. "If the simple preventions that may be employed to guard the eyes against soreness were understood I feel certain that every one would adopt them, especially women who will stop at nothing to cure inflammation and redness of the eyeballs that is so disfiguring while it lasts. "To women who are not compelled to go out of doors daily I would suggest that the easiest way for them to avoid any injury from dust would be to stay in the house until whirlwinds of fine dirt do not fill the air. A shopping trip, a call or even theater engagement had better be postponed unless a carriage can be called to one's door or a cab stopped in front of one's home. "Don't keep the eyes open when passing through a cloud of dust. If it is not possible to shut the lids, then turn the back or side of the head so that the particles will not fly directly into the eyes, or if in a crowd, where there would be danger if closing the eyes, place the hand, a paper, or some guard a few inches from the optics to shield them and to keep out the dirt. "Don't rub the eyes after going through a cloud of dust, for this action has a tendency to irritate the eyeball by working fine pieces of metal, dirt, etc, into the corner. If particles in the eye cause discomfort or pain, close the lld and let the water that constantly bathes the eyeballs have a chance to wash out the foreign matter. "If after several minutes the substance is not dislodged, have a drugist take out the dirt with a fine camel's hair brush, or wash out the eye with a saturate solution of boric acid, which is a soothing antiseptic that will help to clear away any redness of the eyeball that usually follows the irritation caused when dirt sticks to the cornea. If boric acid is not to be had, use salt water. "Either the acid or water may be dropped into the eye from a spoon, but the best plan to give the eyeball a Will Be Appreciated by Any Users of Tobacco. An ordinary hanging bracket is within the power of any amateur to make, and the smoker's bracket of which we give an illustration is of precisely the same nature, but utilized in rather a novel way. It will be found extremely useful for hanging on the wall by the side of the after-dinner arm-chair, and on it can find a place for a glass, matches, ash-tray, pipes, tobacco, etc. It is suspended from the wall by means of two holes cut in the upper portion of the wood, through which nails are driven, and it can easily be lifted off and taken down when not required. A circular hole is cut in the shelf LETTERS READY Simple and Useful Little Article Quite Easy to Make. This simple and useful little article is intended either for hanging on the wall by the side of a writing table or in the hall. It can be made of thin wood or cardboard, and hangs from the wall by means of two nails driven through the holes cut in the upper part. A useful size to make it in is about 12 inches long by nine inches deep, and it may be covered with silk or any other material we fancy. The word LETTERS FOR THE MAIL "letters for the mail" may be worked in ornamental letters on the lower portion of the front. If constructed in wood it will look well covered with white enamel, and "letters for the mail" can then be painted on it in some pleasing colors. Four pieces of wood or cardboard are required for its construction, one --- thorough wash-out is to use a regulation eyeglass that fits tightly over the lids and makes possible a complete bath "For those who have had no experience with the use of an eyeglass I want to say that it should be about three-quarters full before it is placed directly over the eye with the lids closed The head must be thrown back when the glass is turned down and then the lids opened and the eyeball rolled around. This operation should last but a few seconds and will ordinarily bring immediate relief. "Whether or not there are particles of dirt, etc., on the eyeballs that cause pain, I think it advisable to wash out the eyes, especially on windy days, after coming into a house or office, for then the gritty specks will be cleaned away, the eyes left fresh and bright-looking, and there can be no danger of infection from germs contained in the dust. Use a solution of boric acid for these washings, and if convenient an eyeglass. "I wish I could make women, and men, too, understand that it is quite as essential to wash out the eyes when they are full of dirt as it is to cleanse the hands when they are soiled, for if I could I know much of the trouble that often becomes chronic and results in the use of glasses would be avoided and an eyeglass and a bottle of boric acid would be considered as essential to physical cleanliness as is soap. "Every one, for hygienic reasons, should wash out the eyes with a five per cent solution of boric acid each morning, and every night before retiring for this bath not only cleanses them, but soothes and allays slight inflammation caused from cold, or from strong winds and incidentally strengthens the eyeballs." Bib-Blouses and Gloves. Clever bib-blouses are designed with princess skirts and have stole ends composed chiefly of interlaced bands of satin over lace. Sleeves upon evening gowns are most varied, but the elbow length and its half size reign. In many instances they are made of lace entirely different from any trimming introduced upon the gown, or they may be of spangled net-combined most incongruously with velvet or bands of fur. In all instances they are met by elegant evening gloves, which in most instances are white; but the shops are showing long gloves of pale pink and pale blue kid, to be worn with toilette in corresponding hues. The pale pink model, merging almost into flesh color, is quite charming on the arm. Pale delicate dove and string shades, apricot and sauterne are also extremely becoming. part of the bracket on the left-hand side capable of holding a glass in the manner shown, and a glass held in this way cannot be overturned. Some smaller holes can be made into which pipes can be slipped, and a piece of sand-paper is glued at the top on which wax matches may be struck. The whole bracket can be painted, or stained or decorated in any other way we fancy. piece for the back, the size of the dimensions given, one piece not quite so wide for the front, and two wedges-shaped pieces for either side. Checks and Hair Stripes. The fancy cloths, especially the checks and hair stripes in monotone and two-tone coloring, are sure to be conspicuous among spring fabrics. A chic walking costume of advanced type is fashioned of copper-colored canvas cloth, the skirt being cut perfectly plain to fall in sweeping folds below a close-fitting hip line. The bodice is self-trimmed in narrow corded bands, while the chemisette and undersleeves are of twine color embroidered linen. When You Are Tired. You are apt to shrink from the exercise you need. A warm bath will do much to restore weared muscles. A tired girl is not a tired out girl. It will not hurt you to get tired, but do not trespass further on your vitality. Cretonne Frame Is Pretty. Cretton is used in new ways in the furnishing of bedrooms. Beveled mirrors to stand on the dressing table are framed in the flowered fabric. For the dressing table are cretone-covered talcum boxes, bound in gilt heads. Fresh DRUGS Daily 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N. W. Cor. Jefferson and Lawton Aves. Open Day and Night.

Many of them came forward and did their whole duty. Please let others do likewise this week. The spring election is at hand, and the Republican have adopted the same tactics that were adopted last fall and carried out by the state committee; that is: Letting the Negro alone. The few that were sent out by the state committee had no influence, and with but a few exceptions were unknown by the Negroes of the state. At the election last fall the Negroes of St. Louis voted almost to a man for the Republican ticket; so much so that the congressman in the Third congressional district was elected by only 38 votes. Since that time all of the elected officers have taken charge of the offices to which they were elected. We ask this question: What have they done for the Negro in St. Louis? What have the respectable Negroes in St. Louis received at their hands? What respectable Negroes have had the least say so in regards to whom of their race should be appointed to office? Are the Negroes that have been appointed to office representing the race? Let us ask this question: Will the twelve thousand Negroes of St. Louis vote to give 28 central committee offices before the Negro gets anything? Our answer to that is: Not by a jujuful. Now is the time to act. If you have been ignored in the lect election, let the Negro stay at home. If you have not a part at the pie counter, then why will you act the pack-horse for others who do not care for you? My advice to the Negro is to stay at home until you know what part you, as a Negro, are to play after next spring's election. NOTICE. Any article sent to this office for publication must be accompanied by the money—5 cents per line—otherwise it will be thrown away. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Troubles. M. B. J. W. Wheeler is still confined to his bed and will be for several weeks. On Saturday, Jan. 19, when the Palladium Man met with a serious accident, he began immediately to telephone for Dr. Stafford. It was past 8 o'clock, however, when he arrived. He also had met with an accident, in which his horse was hurt and his buggy badly demolished. His horse out again and also the buggy, and is all O K. His greatest ambition is to get the Palladium Man out s, and we are confident he will, for knows his business, and when he kns the Palladium Man says, so he must kn POLITICAL POINTERS Many a candidate thinks himself a "Clay, only to discover after the election that his name is "mud." If the Negroes are to give their votes, why are they not to be considered in the making up of the Republican ticket this spring? In a political race almost any politician is satisfied if he only succeeds in getting a place; but in St. Louis all the committee or their brothers must be supplied. A politician will shake your hand one minute and pull your leg the next. Let the Negro voters this spring say to the committeeeen: "Remember last fall's election. What did we get for casting our vote for our beloved party? You go fishing next April." Don't play the fool any more. Some men vote as they pray, and they never pray unless it is to ask a political favor. Last fall all the committeemen got their favors in a political office. What did the Negro get? He received what the little boy shot at—nothing. Be careful men, how you vote, if you vote at all. "Our Vote." The ballot was placed in the hands of the Negro that he might defend himself. Now that the carpetbaggers of St. Louis have been working the Negro to a finish, it is now time for the Negro to apply the time he has been putting in politics. Let him put it in business or his race affairs. The cheap politicians are a hindrance to the Negro's progress. We are in St. Louis and we art a part of the body politics. We have voted solidly for the Republicans in the city, and no Republican can be elected unless the Negro votes. This being so, then what shall we expect? We should be accorded a seat at the pie counter. This has been denied us ever since the Hon. Chauncey I. Filley stepped down and out of power. What we want is a part of the pie; this old game of promise has passed. "the cheap politician thinks that the Negro should be satisfied as a janitor or messenger. This is a sad mistake. If there is nothing in the political "heave-up" for the Negro, then let him stay at home on election day, for there is nothing in it for the Negro after the election. The New York Freedman's Journal and Catholic Register contains one of the most fair-minded arguments that I have ever read, headed "Oil on the Troubled Waters," by Father Boarman, on Senator Tillman. This address should be read by every Negro in the country, and Senator Tillman should read it carefully, that he might find some consolation in it. We doff our hats to Father Boarman, to the chieftain of human rights. We oftentimes begin to grumble and complain and say all our friends have deserted us and we have no one to fight our battles, but we must not be worried, for "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. He plants His footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm." Good and true men of humanity standing along the line, and the defenders of our race are numerous in every denomination, in the white churches and societies. Yes, in the great Catholic Church, men like Father Boarman stand up and defend the Black race against the gaping world. So let us grumble no more. Don't forget the Grand Leader boys' ball. Everyone is going and a good time is anticipated. buggy body demolished. His horse is out again and also the buggy, and he is all O K. His greatest ambition now is to get the Palladium Man out soon and we are confident he will, for he knows his business, and when the Palladium Man says, so, he must know. --- Henry Alexander . . . 1406 Devlin Emma A.

Admission 25 cents. Mayme Hutt, President; Beatrice Hudlin, Secretary. 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. Two Negroes in the license department on the monthly pay roll. One Negro in the register's office at the city hall on the payroll. Three Negroes in the marriage license department on the monthly pay roll. Three Negroes on the city central committee, that they may represent the Negro. Three Negroes in the circuit clerk's office at the courthouse on the monthly pay roll. To see one thousand subscribers call this week and settle up their bill with us. For we need it. To the see the dudes and rounders smile because the Palladium man is in bed. By that smile we know them. Three congressmen from St. Louis take one Colored man each and give him a position in Washington, D. C. A first-class saloon where the barkeeper does not continually beg for a treat, nor the proprietor is not so fresh. Fewer school girls going down to the city jail to see their beaux, who have their pictures in the rouges' gallery. A first-class saloon where you can get two drinks of whiskey for 20 cents—not keep the nickel that drives your customer away. To see the "Jim Crow" bill in Jefferson City defeated. That will show to the Negroes that the Democrats are not so bad. Fewer mothers who will allow their daughters to keep company with men at 11:30 o'clock at night. Let them "look a leetle out." A saloon keeper that will give back the right change—not take a two dollar bill and give back 80 cents for change out of two dollars. The U. B. F. and S. M.

A first-class reporter for a Negro newspaper and one that will not steal, attend to the wants of its customers and not pay so much attention to dudes. Why we would like to see these changes is because: Only one can be elected without the 12,000 Negro votes in St. Louis, and that is the Hon. Richard Bartholdt. With this exception, all are dependent on the Negro votes, and not one can be elected unless we vote. Now, let the Negro demand representation in every place where your votes put Republicans in office. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. The protracted meeting is still going on and it is expected that twenty-five or more converts will be ready to be baptized next Sunday evening. The financial rally will take place next Sunday, hence it is expected that all of the members and friends will contribute liberally to the collection, as an interest note will be due on the 7th of February and must be paid. The church is getting along fairly well, hence it is hoped that all of the members will pull together and help to pay off the debt: Then all can sit down and rest at ease. The B. Y. P. U. meets every Sunday at 5:30 p. m. The Bible reading and religious discussion is full of interest. Everybody is welcome. Deacon N. P. Hairston, president. The members and all should send their children to Sabbath school every Sunday morning and keep them off the streets idling. Remember that the choir is quite a blessing to the church and the members ought to meet on time every Sunday and during the week on the night of choir practice. Madame Mattie A. Gilree, organist. Sayings of Many Men. "All Niggers look alike to me."—President Theodore Roosevelt. "All men look alike to me."—J. H. Foraker. "All criminals look alike to me."—J. W. Wheeler. "All darkies are unworthy of the ballot or to be citizens."—Ben Tillman. "All men should get through this world by beating his creditors."—Abraham Lincoln Lee.

Wh. it Has Caused It and What Is the Remedy? At uo time can a man of business (Color:3) approach a merchant and ask for an advertisement for a newspaper but what he is almost insulted about what some other fellow has done. When we are allowed to explain they begin to tell us about what and how some grafter fleeced them, and 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 controlled by Colored men ought to combine 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 good. U. B. F. and S. M. T.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. of New York city, which at the present time carries more than two million dollars of Negro risks, is reported to have issued instructions to its agent not to accept any more applications from Negroes after January 1, 1907. Upon the heels of this information the news that the publication known as Collier's Weekly has also issued like instructions to its agents that under no condition will they enter into contracts with Negro subscribers. It is said the reason for this peculiar departure lies in the alleged fact that Negro insurance risks and Negro contracts are alike very unreliable and unsatisfactory.—Exchange. From the looks of the above it will only be a matter of time when the whites will refuse to sell the Negro any clothes. Then won't there be a hot old time when all the Negroes will be going around naked, and then they will be arrested for disturbing the peace of our white neighbors. JOTTINGS.

Brooks, Mayor of Sunbury, Ohio, also Attorney for Farmers' Bank and Sunbury Building and Co. writes; Loan co. "I have the utmost confidence in the virtue of Peruna. It is a great medicine. I have used it and I have known many of my friends who have obtained beneficial results from its use. I cannot praise Peruna too much." HON. C. C. BROOKS. THERE are a host of petty alliments which are the direct result of the weather. This is more true of the excessive heat of summer and the intense cold of winter, but is partly true of all seasons of the year. Whether it be a cold or a cough, catarrh of the head or bowel complaint, whether the liver be affected or the kidneys, the cause is very liable to be the same. The weather slightly deranges the mucous membranes of the organs and the result is some functional disease. Peruna has become a standby in thousands of homes for minor alliments of this sort. Ask Your Druggist for Free Peruna Almanac for 1907. Real Moroccans. Moor and Morocco are words unknown to the people of that troubled land. These people know themselves as Arabs and descendants of those valiant upholders of the prophet's green standard who swept like a flood across North Africa at the time of the hegira. The Morocco of the present day they found possessed by a sturdy race who claimed descent from the people who were cast out of Camarra by Joshua, the son of Nun. Their country, so far as its plains were concerned, was taken from them by the Arabs, and their fighting strength was made to serve the Arab cause in the conquest of Spain. They themselves gradually took to the mountains, to the great Atlas. Here they have remained ever since, speaking their own language, maintaining their own customs and racial attributes, and obstinately refusing to be absorbed by the Arab dwellers on the plains. These people are the Berbers; their tongue is called Shilhah. Literature they have none, in the ordinary sense of the word. But they have a rich store of oral tradition, myth, legend and folklore. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dissection portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. The ear is a sensitive organ, and its mucous lining is of Eustachian Tissue. When this tissue is infamed you have a rumbling sound or impair hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be controlled, and the mucous lining will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing uninduced condition of the mucous surfaces.

An Atherington (Eng.) sweep, named Joshua Folland, was sweeping the chimney of a house which had been unoccupied for some little time at High Beckington, when, to his great surprise, he swept down seven full-grown, live wild rabbits, which he bagged. Disease and Injustice. The sin which is termed dishonesty is the same evil as that which is called disease in living bodies or blight in the seasons; and in cities and governments has another name, which is injustice.—Plato. 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.

NOAH SAVED IN THE ARK Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 3.1907 LESSON TEXT.—Gen. 8:1-16; Memory verses, 1-3. GOOD TEXT.—"The salvation of the righteous is of the Lord."—Psalm 57:29. TIME.—According to Ussher's chronology, this calculation is regarded as uncertain, but most conservative scholars. Very probably it was earlier. The ark rested on some height in the mountainous region of Ararat, south of Armenia, in the region of the upper Euphrates. The ark started on the PLACE IN THE HISTORY.—At least 1656 years after Adam. A considerable population in the world, quite well adorned, was under civilization. The world grown wicked; but a line of good men running through it. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES. — Psa. 1656; Isa. 54:9; Ezek. 14:14; Matt. 24:37; Luke 17:26; 27; Heb. 11:7; 1 Pet. 3:20; 2 Pet. 2.5. Suggestive Thought. Comment and Suggestive Thoughts The Crisis of the Race.—We are told in chapter 6 the depth of moral corruption into which the majority of the race had fallen. "The earth was filled with violence. . . . And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." The Problem of the Ages.—What to Do with Wicked Men.—This has been the problem of every human government, from the heads of a family to emperors and autocrats. It forms the most difficult problem to day. The Ark and the Deluge.—Noah was the great grandson of Enoch, and like him walked with God. He was a holy, virtuous, pious man, in a world ruining itself with wickedness. His was not merely a passive goodness. He was a preacher of righteousness (2 Pet. 2:5). He was a prophet and reformer. It is not probable that he was popular with men,! The Beginning of the New Era.—Vs. 1:16. V. 1. "God remembered Noah." He never forgets his people. V. 2. "Fountains . . . of the deep . . . rain from heaven." The two sources of the deluge. V. 4. "Ark rested in the seventh month." There were two starting points of the year,—the Sacred in April, the Civil in September. The seventh month was either May or October. V. 5. "Tenth month." July or January. V. 7. "Sent forth a raven," which would feed on floating dead bodies, and return to the ark, back and forth. Hence, its return would be no test of the state of the land. V. 8. "Sent forth a dove" to get information. The dove returned with none. V. 11. "In her mouth was an olive leaf." One that had just put forth fresh leaves. "That the olive tree is found in Armenia is proved from Strabo."—Dillmann. V. 13. "In the six hundredth and first year." Twelve lunar months after Noah entered the ark. V. 14. "In the second month," etc Making in all 365 days. V. 16. "Go forth." The work was complete. The old was ended and the new race begun. The world entered upon a new era. Worship (Gen. 8:20-22).—The first act of Noah was an act of worship and religion. He expressed his gratitude, his faith, his consciousness of sin, and the infinite love of God which had saved him. A Divine Promise in the Heavens (Gen. 9:8-17).—God averted another fear that the deluge might be repeated; a fear which would haunt the early race at every coming of the fruit-giving rain, a fear that would interfere not only with comfort, but with progress. The Rainbow Token.—"That gracious thing made up of tears and light."—Coleridge. The rainbow as a sign of God's promise is peculiarly appropriate and beautiful. (1) It is formed on the rain itself, the rain which produced the flood. (2) "After the appearance of an entire rainbow, as a rule, no rain of long duration follows." Indeed, the rainbow is a proof that the storm is partial, not covering the whole sky. The sun of God's mercy is shining on the rain. (3) The darker the storm, the brighter the rainbow. (4) "As it lights up the dark ground that just before was discharging itself in flashes of lightning, it gives us an idea of the victory of God's love over the black and fiery wrath."—Delitzsch. (5) "It is just in its conformity to natural law that the rainbow is a pledge that the order of nature shall continue."—Denio. (6) It can be seen everywhere in all parts of the earth; it is all embracing. It shines on the evil and on the good, with its rays of warning and of hope. (7) It is very beautiful and attractive. God gives a winning beauty to his angels, to his messengers of mercy, and to his promises, in order to attract men and show his love. (8) It forms an arch, wide as the storm, and binding earth and heaven, God and man, together in peace. There can be no rain without the sun. Practical Points. God punishes men not because he hates them, but because he loves them. Sin is a far greater evil than punishment. The flood that destroyed most of the people was the real salvation of the human race. God's covenant and the promised sign are for to-day. The ark of God's salvation is large enough for all who will enter. The door is open. God's invitations are sent to all. Men may help build the ark, and yet not themselves enter into it and be saved. You Look Prematurely Old AWFUL ATTACKS OF PAIN. A Most Dreadful Case of Kidney Trouble and How It Was Cured. Thomas N. McCullough, 321 South Weber St., Colorado Springs, Colo., says: "For twelve or fifteen years I was suffering frequent attacks of pain in the back and kidneys that lasted for three weeks at a time.

I would be unable to turn in bed. The urine was in a terrible condition, at times a complete stoppage occurring. I began with Doan's Kidney Pills, and soon felt better. Keeping on, I found complete freedom from kidney trouble. The cure has been permanent. I owe my good health to Doan's Kidney Pills." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Children play a great role in French society, as all those who have read Gyp's imitable "P'tit Bob" will readily admit, and now the small Parisienne insists on receiving on her fete day and at the New Year a live pet, instead of a costly doll or a mechanical toy. The demand has been creating a supply, and a lively trade is being done, not only in puppies and kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs, but also in tigers and leopards. Up to a certain age, these small felines are quite harmless, and, of course, as soon as they begin, to to speak, to show their teeth and sharpen their claws, they are sent off to one of the two magnificent "Zoos" with which the Gay City is provided. TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA. Cuticura Cured Scalp Troubles of Two Illinois Girls—Another Sister Took Cuticura Pills. "I must give much praise to all the Cuticura Remedies. I used but one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease. I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely. Since then we have always kept the soap on hand at all times. My sister was also cured of eczema of the head by using the Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Resolvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. I cannot say exactly how long I suffered, but I think about six months. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D No. 6, Morrison, Ill., Oct. 3, 1906." Pigeons Aid Physicians. Carrier pigeons as aids to a physician are reported from the north of Scotland. The doctor has a scattered practice, and when on long rounds he takes several pigeons with him. If one of his patients needs medicine immediately he writes out a prescription, and by means of the bird forwards it to his surgery. Here an assistant gets the message, prepares the prescription and dispatches the medicine. If after visiting a patient the doctor thinks he will be required later in the day, he simply leaves a pigeon, with which he can be called, if necessary. Invigorate the Digestion. To invigorate the digestion and stimulate the torpid liver and bowels there is nothing so good as that old family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which has been in use for over a century. They cleanse the blood and impart new vigor to the body. One or two every night for a week will usually be all that is required. For Constipation or Dyspepsia, one or two taken every night will afford great relief. Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used and being purely vegetable are adapted to every system. Sold in every drug and med'cine store, either plain or sugar-coated. Sweet Amenities. "I hope you won't be disappointed, dear, for I know everybody thought George was paying attention to you. But as a matter of fact, he asked me last night to marry him." "He has then carried out his threat, poor fellow!" "What threat?" "He declared to me the last time I refused him that he would take some desperate step." Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidence of every fair minded person and every thinking woman.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. No other remedy in the country has such a record of cures of female ills, and thousands of women residing in every part of the United States bear willing testimony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable compound and what it has done for them. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health.

Garfield Tea (Guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Law) regulates a sluggish liver, overcomes constipation, purifies the blood and eradicates disease. It is made of Herbs. Your friends think that you are right and your enemies think that you are wrong, but you have to show the rest of the cold, unsympathetic crowd. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron. Changes in Dismal Swamp. Investigations of the scientists at Washington have recently developed the fact that at present the area of the Dismal swamp is slowly sinking, and Lake Drummond, in its center, is growing larger. Similar changes have occurred in the past, periods of elevation and subsidence gradually succeeding one another. The average elevation above sea level is so slight that natural drainage is insufficient to remove the rainfall. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. In the Matter of Tips The man who tips the highest gets the best service and the most ostentious deference. "Give this to the cook," said a St. Louis parvenue, handing one dollar to the waiter with his order. "and tell him to cook it my way." "Give this to the cook," said a scribe at the next table, handing a two dollar bill to the waiter with his order, "and tell him to cook it his own way, for he is a better cook than I am."

HEALTH AND SPIRITS HEALTH AND SPIRITS Are Restored by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in Cases of Debility and Despondency. General debility is caused by mental or physical overwork with imperfect assimilation of nourishment, or by some acute disease from which the vital forces have been prostrated and the entire organism weakened so as not to easily rally. To restore health it is necessary that the blood should be purified and made new. The case of Mrs. E. M. Spears, of 92 Mt. Pleasant street, Athol, Mass., is a common one and is given here in order that others may be benefited by her experience. She says: "I had been sick for a year from indigestion and general debility brought on by overwork and worry. I had tried many remedies, but found no relief. I suffered from swelling of the limbs, loss of appetite and dizzy spells, which became so severe towards night, that I sometimes fainted away. I was bilious and my hands and arms would go to sleep for an hour or two at a time. I was so sleepy all the time that I could hardly keep awake. I had frequent cramps in my limbs and severe pains at the base of my head and in my back. My blood was impoverished. I was afraid to give up and go to bed fearing that I would never get well. "About this time Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recommended to me by a friend in South Vernon, Vt. I felt better soon after beginning the treatment and continued until I was entirely cured. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a grand medicine for weak women." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectad, N. Y.

"Whom you would tell a last farewell?" The young man softly said: "There's Daisy back in Burlington, And Millie up in Blair, There's Nellie down in Lincolntown And Mary at St. Clair; And at Des Moines there's Esther dear, Whom I must surely see, And Annie, too, at Waterloo; Please bring them all to me." The watchers stared in wild surprise, And then they said once more: "Come, tell us, pray, without delay, The girl whom you adore; The girl whom you have sworn to love And bring both wealth and fame; Your promised wife, your hope and life; "There's Maggie up at Boone," he said, "And Mayme at Wapello; There's Violet at Winterset, And Maud at old St. Joe; And Genevieve at Davenport, And Mabel at St. Paul—" The young man sighed, "It's time I died; I've sworn to wed them all." —From Frolic of the Types in Nonpareil. WILL PUT IN "JIM CROW." Oklahoma Convention Wrestling with the Liquor Question. Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 31.—In the constitutional convention, Haskell, of Muskogee, withdrew his memorial to President Roosevelt, asking advice on the separate coach proposition. Democratic leaders state that the "Jim Crow" provision will be inserted in the constitution, and submitted to the president. The real fight of the convention was begun when the committee on rules advanced the report of the liquor committee to first place on the calendar, and opened the fight for prohibition. The report provides for a local option proposition with an annual vote. It is expected that two weeks will be consumed on the question. THEY DO SAY!
