WHEELER, Editor and Manager ST. LOUIS MISSOURI He who does not honor age will not be honored. Neglect and extravagance in youth bring an age of necessity. Even millionaires, it seems, have to pay for riding on railroad trains now. Belgium enjoys the distinction of being the first country to organize domestic training schools, the first being established in 1880. "It is easy," said John W. Gates, "to get a million dollars." Yes. All that is necessary is to find one who is willing to let you have it. In a recent raid on a gambling den a man named Pizymuvszallaskivitch managed to escape. It is supposed he hung his name out of the window and slid. That Englishman's idea that American women are purely decorative is only partly true, for the American man finds them useful as well as ornamental. Perhaps those Central and South Americans could get along without so many wars and revolutions if they were not subject to such frequent brain storms. "The most profitable business in Morocco," says a news dispatch, "is smuggling in firearms." And the most unprofitable business is using them afterward. Prince Ranjitshingi, one of Britain's most celebrated cricket players, has been declared lawful claimant to the throne of Nawanagar. His rivals were probably mollycodles. An Oregon editor killed a perfect stranger by mistake for a man against whom he had a grudge, but, as is the custom with editors, made a handsome apology in the next issue. Japan's exports of porcelain ware to the United States are 'increasing rapidly. They were about $2,800,000 worth in 1906, against $1,900,000 worth in 1905, and three and one-half times as much as in 1902. Mrs. Sage is finding good use for the millions which "Uncle Russell" hoarded. Incidentally, Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Carnegie had better look sharp or a woman will beat them at their own game. Miss Waneta Toskatomba is a fullblood Choctaw malden, with a good education and worth $100,000 in her own right, who announces that she would rather devote herself to works of charity than to think of matrimony. It may have been noticed that immediately after London announced the adoption of corsets as an article of male attire, Grover Cleveland started on a hunting trip and Secretary Taft began making preparations for a trip to Panama. George Wingfield, the young millionaire of Goldfield, Nev., went to that section ten years ago, a youth of about 18. He located a few claims, but was too poor to work them, so he leased most of the property to others. These men struck it rich and Wingfield was a made man so far as money goes. Ten automobile owners are defendants in the Middlesex county (Massachusetts) courts in damage suits for personal injuries suffered by pedestrians and horse-drivers, amounting in total to nearly $95,000, according to the Providence Journal. It is almost as hazardous to be an automobilist these days as it is to be a trolley car corporation. By shilling subscriptions the walking stick and fan which are to be presented to King Edward and Queen Alexandra when they open the South African exhibition have been purchased, both English and Dutch having contributed the money. The stick is of rhinoceros horn, and came originally from an old chief of the Bamangwato Kaffirs, while the fan is composed of a magnificent collection of ostrich feathers, with handle and arms of South African gold. An "A," surmounted by a crown, is set in diamonds into the handle. Miss Marlon S. Parker, a Detroit girl and a graduate of Ann Arbor, is by profession a civil engineer. She is responsible for the architect's work on several New York skyscrapers. She designed the Broad exchange building in the Wall street section, a 28-story monster that houses 8,000 brokers, bankers and corporation officers. She built the Astoria half of the Waldorf-Astoria, the Whitehall building and a dozen other notable structures. She did nearly all the designing alone, planning steel work and everything from the sub-basement to roof. Dr. W. G. Grace, the veteran English cricketer, has been the recipient of many gifts as proof of his prowess at the national game, but none so unusual as that of three young pigs which a Worcestershire farmer sent him, in recognition of a great batting feat which he witnessed. An astronomical clock, which cost $16,000, was lately presented to King Alfonso, of Spain, by the Republic of Peru. A figure representing the Muse of. Astronomy holds it. The zodiac, stars, figures, etc., are made of lapis lazuli, roid and precious gems. MR. JAMES A. SYDNOR Paper Hanger of prominence, but he is also engaged in PAINTING, WHITENING AND KALSOMINING....

SHOULD BE MORE COURTEOUS After the Complaint Had Been Made, the War Department Sent a Special Inspector to Investigate the Matter. Salt Lake City, Utah—Acting Secretary of War Oliver Wednesday transmitted to Col. Benjamin Lockwood, commandant at Fort Douglas, and Capt. A. S. Brooks, also stationed at the fort, severe reprimands in connection with the conduct of the two officers toward Mrs. Samuel Newhouse and party when Mrs. Newhouse, wife of a Salt Lake capitalist, visited the fort in an automobile with a party of friends last February. Mrs. Newhouse complained that Capt. Brooks, though the automobile was proceeding through the fort grounds at only moderate speed, drew a pistol and forced the party to come to a halt. Mrs. Newhouse appealed to Col. Lockwood and complained that he offered her no satisfaction. Capt. Brooks claimed that the party was going at such speed that he feared for the safety of his little child. In the reprimand Secretary Oliver says that Capt. Brooks' conduct was inexcusable and that Col. Lockwood should have shown more courtesy in the matter. After Mrs. Newhouse had made her complaint the war department sent a special inspector here to investigate the matter. FAILED TO OBEY LAW. Express Companies in Nebraska Still Charge Old Rate. Omaha, Neb.-None of the express companies doing business in Nebraska have lowered their rates in compliance with the new state law reducing express charges 25 per cent. The bill was passed April 5 and was signed by the governor at once. The bill bore an emergency clause declaring it went into effect as soon as passed and approved. Express companies contend the emergency clause is not effective. The attorney general has the matter under consideration and will file charges against the companies unless the new rates are put in effect at once. CROP BULLETIN Winter Wheat Prospects Better Than Average for Past 10 Years. Washington—The crop reporting board of the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture, in a bulletin issued Wednesday, gives the average condition of winter wheat on April 1 as 89.9 per cent, as against 89.1 on April 1, 1906, 91.6 at the corresponding date in 1905 and 85.3 the mean of the April averages of the last ten years. The average condition of winter rye on April 1 was 92.0 against 90.9 on April 1, 1905, 92.1 at the corresponding date in 1905, and 89.2 the mean of the April averages of the last ten years. FINDS A NEW SUN SPOT. It is the Center of Unusual Solar Activity. New York—Dr. S. Mitchell, instructor in astronomy at Columbia university, declares he has discovered a new sun spot as large as that discovered by Prof. Brashear, of Allegheny, on Feb. 13. The spot, which is near the meridian, Dr. Mitchell says, is much larger than any of the others which seem to mar the sun's complexion and seems to be the center of an unusual solar activity. Dr. Mitchell does not look for any violent atmospheric disturbances as a result of the spot. Posse Unsuccessful Webb City, Mo.—Not only has the Baxter Springs posse of deputy sheriffs and members of the Anti-Horse-thief association returned to the Kansas border empty handed after the dash into Indian territory after the alleged Wickliffe gang of desperadoes, which held up the station agent at Quapaw, shot Marshal Black at Baxter Springs and stole two horses and vehicles in their flight north, but big Jim Thompson of Tahlequah denies that the Wickliffes are the parties guilty of the outlawry. Necro Judge for Alabama Washington—Booker T. Washington has succeeded in obtaining the appointment of Oscar R. Hundley, of Huntsville, Ala., as federal judge for Alabama over the protests of Senators Morgan and Pettus. Hundley was appointed a United States marshal by the president last fall, but the senate refused to confirm the nomination. Now the president at the instance of Booker T. Washington has given him a better position. Senators Pettus and Morgan will fight the confirmation of Hundley. REPORTS ON CANAL DHAIRMAN OF HOUSE COMMITTEE RECENTLY RETURNED. CAN BE COMPLETED IN FIVE YEARS Needs More Railroad Capacity to Take Care of the Dirt Now Being Excavated. Washington—Chairman Tawney, of the house committee on appropriations, and Representative Olcott, who have recently returned from a visit to the isthmus of Panama, Thursday discussed with the president conditions as they found them. Mr. Tawney is favorably impressed with the progress being made in the canal work and told the president he thought at the present rate the waterway should be completed in five years. He said he regarded it as unfortunate that the engineering world had been representing to the people an almost impossible engineering problem confronting it. The principal conditions now to be met, he said, were those of sufficient railroad capacity to take care of the dirt excavated, and sanitation with the view to keeping the place in a good healthful condition. Mr. Tawney also discussed with the president questions affecting congressional appropriations for canal work and it is likely some legislation bearing on the subject will be recommended to congress as a result of the visit to the isthmus. TWO PUBLIC BANQUETS Will Conclude National Arbitration and Peace Congress. New York—Two large public banquets, instead of the dinner originally planned, it was announced, will conclude the national arbitration and peace congress which is to meet in Carnegie hall next Sunday. Ambassador James Bryce will be among the speakers. Theodore Hardee, who has had charge of arrangements for the St. Louis World's Fair and the Lewis and Clark exposition, was appointed executive officer of the national arbitration and peace congress. Hr. Hardee took immediate charge of the registration and accommodation of the hundreds of delegates who are beginning to arrive from all over the country. PLEADED GUILTY TO MURDER. Fred Troy Admits Killing Wife and Ralph Guin. Joplin, Mo.-Fred W. Troy, a traveling photographer, 35 years of age, who shot and killed his wife, Potosia Troy, and mortally wounded Ralph Guln in this city New Year's day, pleaded guilty to second degree murder in circuit court and was sentencedzy Judge Gray to serve a term of 99 years in the penitentiary. Troy represented that he had knowledge of his wife's unfaithfulness and a conspiracy against his life by Guln and her. He said, however, that he preferred a sentence for second degree murder to the ordeal of reciting in court the story of the horrible tragedy. GOVERNOR TO BE DISMISSED. Outcome of Situation at Casablanca Cause of Action. Tangier—The diplomatic corps has unanimously decided to request the dismissal of the governor of Casablanca. This action is an outcome of the situation at Casablanca, which is reported surrounded by revolted tribesmen, who are threatening to pillage the place and throw the Europeans into the sea. The consular corps there protested two days ago to the diplomatic corps here against the governor, declaring he was doing nothing to insure the safety of Europeans. Occupation of Oudia. Paris—According to the official advises, the occupation of Oudja by the French troops appears likely to last longer than at first considered probable. M. Regnault, the French minister to Morocco, has replied to the attempt of the sultan's representatives at Tangier, to enter into negotiations, that France is determined to maintain her demands for reparation and would not even consider proposals for partial satisaction. But Little Progress San Francisco—Upon resumption of the Ruef trial, Talesman Max Gans, a retired liquor dealer, was challenged by the prosecution. The challenge was allowed. Theodore Cohen, a dry goods dealer, could not remember if he had been approached by persons since he became a talesman and had been drawn into a question of Ruef's case. Cohen declared that, although he now has an unfavorable impression of Ruef, he could give him a fair trial. Unchallenged by either side, he was passed as to qualification. Appoint Special Commissicner. Austin, Tex.—Judge V. L. Brooks, in the Twenty-sixth district court of Texas, has entered an order in the case of Texas vs. the Waters Pierce Oil Co., the application for which was made by Atty. Gen. Davidson, appointing Frederick H. Sanborn, of New York city, as a special commissioner to take testimony in this case. The order gives the special commissioner power to summon witnesses, compel attendance and punish for contempt. U.B.F. & S.M.T.

Minneapolis, Minn., —Testimony given by A. S. Hicks, a former broker of Superior, together with the evidence of A. W. Harris, indicates that two local chamber of commerce, in its action against the board, has unearthed a "bucket shop" scandal affecting St. Paul, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City and other western cities. The action of the chamber of commerce is brought to prevent the use of its quotations by the Supreme board of trade, the Wisconsin Grain and Stock Co., and the Superior clearing house, all of which concerns are made defendants to the suit. It also is alleged that these companies are all affiliated and connected with the Edwards Wood Co., against which it obtained an injunction some months ago. Hicks testified that he was hired by the Edwards-Wood Co. in St. Paul and sent to Superior with instructions "to trade and make a market," that while there he bought and sold many thousand bushels of wheat without orders from Wood or anyone else for his sales or purchases. He said his transactions were all with two men whom he knew to be in Edwards-Wood's employ. HAULS WHEAT FREE. Chicago Great Western Meets Competition at Omaha. Omaha, Neb.—As an offset to the raise in grain rates by the Union Pacific between Omaha and Council Bluffs, the Chicago Great Western Railroad yesterday begun hauling grain free from Council Bluffs into Omaha. When destined to elevators on the tracks of the Chicago, Great Western and charging only $2 per car when destined to elevators on other tracks. The Union Pacific charges five dollars per car for the same service and the interstate commerce commission last week declared the Union Pacific had the right to raise the rate for that service to its present charges. The Great Western's action will have a far reaching effect on Iowa grain destined to Omaha and places the Omaha market on a parity with the Chicago market. MAKE LOWER SCHEDULE. On June 9, All Fast Trains Will Be Slowed Down. Omaha, Neb.—Western railroads have definitely decided upon a date for lengthening the schedules of their fast trains and on June 9 all trains will be slowed down. This announcement comes from Union Pacific headquarters in Omaha, and is a result of a conference between general passenger agents of the roads involved. Those in the agreement are Union Pacific, Rock Island, Northwestern, Great Northern, Northern Pacific and the Burlington. Other roads are expected to subscribe to the agreement which was made necessary by the cutting of rates by the western legislatures. JUSTICE TO GERMANY. Speech of Ambassador Tower Was Friendly to Germans. Cologne.—An inspired telegram from Berlin published in the Cologne Gazette says the speech of Ambassador Tower at the dinner given at the Manhattan Club, New York. In his honor, April 8, was so friendly in tone, rendering at the same time justice to German ways and alms, that it must be received in Germany with the greatest satisfaction, especially as it comes from a man who has known Germany personally for a long time, and who enjoys the reputation of being a clever and sagacious observer of German methods. Coroner Says Suicide. Chicago.—A coroner's jury westerday afternoon returned a verdict. 5 suicide in the case of Frank Fetten, 25 years old, who died at the Hahnmann Hospital here three weeks ago from the effects of a bullet wound in the head. Fetten's father maintained his son had been shot by a watchman employed by Swift & Company in Kansas City, Kan., and that his death resulted therefrom. Kansans Poisoned. Fort Scott, Kan.—Joseph McKulcky, about 65 years old, and Jose Salava, aged 35 years, both of whom lived near Burlington, Kan., where they owned farms were poisoned by a stranger Monday night, evidently for the purpose of robbery. Both men died a few minutes after they had been found in a dark side street. They had recently sold their farms and were on their way to Springfield, Mo., to look for a new location. Strychnine was found in the stomachs of the men. To Bring Constantine to Chicago. To Bring Constantine to Chicago. New York—Frank J. Constantine, Jr., wanted in Chicago for the murder on January 6 of last year of Mrs. Arthur W. Gentry, will not be taken west to stand trial on the charge until tomorrow afternoon or evening, and it will be necessary for the prisoner to sign a waiver before District Attorney John F. Clarke of Brooklyn, before Assistant Superintendent of Police Schuettler and Detective Sheehan, of Chicago, can legally depart from this city with their man. THE CHURCH AT WORK Triumphs of the Gospel Among This African Tribe. A young, but growing Christian work is that of the Lansdowne mission station at Sonkele, in the heart of Zululand Africa. The station is an offshoot of the Natal Baptist association (composed of four churches), and is located in the center of a large native reserve, far removed from civilization. Rev. J. Hawkins, resident mission- PRIESTS ary at the station, has sent to the Christian Herald a photograph of a group of earnest converts engaged in the rite of baptism and from which our illustration was made. Mr. Hawkins writes that the doors are wide open, nothing but financial aid being needed to enable the workers to enter and take possession of that pagan land of Christ. Alleged Gift of Tongues. A peculiar religious fanaticism, claiming the "gift of tongues," has broken out of late in widely separated parts of the country. It appeared first in Los Angeles, where it was denounced by the pastors of all denominations. Certain critics intimated that the motive power of the worked-up excitement was the "graft" which was coming easily into the hand of the man who "interpreted the tongues." In some fashion the craze was carried from Los Angeles to Akron, O., where in a smaller community it has occasioned a still greater sensation, which the secular newspapers have taken great delight in advertising. These excitements have all developed, however, in congregations connected with minor and obscure denominations of Christians, but in Cleveland the fanaticism has shown itself strong in the First church of the Friends. The American Friend, national organ of the Quakers, regards this invasion as a serious outbreak. Religious Facts and Figures. Church statistics for 1906 show the net gain in all denominations, in the past year, as 4,300 ministers, 3,635 churches and 870,389 communicants, says Rev. Henry K. Carroll, D. D. The Roman Catholic church claims the largest gain, 259,548, after which follow in proportionate order: Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians and Disciples of Christ. Forty-four different religious or ethical denominations are recognized, aggregating 32,283,658 communicants, 207,707 churches and 159,503 ministers. Included in this enumeration are: Christian Scientists with 663 churches; Salvation Army, 983; Spiritualists, 748; Theosophists, 72; Communistic Societies, 22; Society for Ethical Culture, 5; Schwenkfeldians, 8; Latter-Day Saints, 1,328; Jews, 570; Friends of the Temple, 4; Chinese Buddhists, 47; Japanese Buddhists and Shintoists, 9. "World's Sunday School Day." World's Sunday School Day. It has been agreed to set apart Sunday, May 19, as a day of prayer for the Rome convention. It will be observed in all lands and will be known as "World's Sunday School Day." Pastors are urged to preach on the Sunday school as a missionary force or on some phase of Sunday school activity, and to unite with their congregations in prayer to God for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the convention then in session in Rome. The committee requests Sunday schools throughout the world to observe the day by adopting the same devotional service that will be used by the convention. It is entitled, "The Apostle Paul in Rome." Baptist Men Called Into Line. Baptist Men Called Into Line. A Baptist Brotherhood is the latest development of the men's movement which is so remarkably affecting all the evangelical denominations. It was formed at a convention of 200 men in Boston. These delegates were all from New England churches, but the organization which they provided is not intended for New England alone. Immediate effort is to be made to enlist the support of the 250,000 Baptist men who are allied to the denomination throughout the country. The basis of fellowship is the same as that adopted by the Presbyterian Brotherhood. It is hoped to hold a great men's meeting in connection with the national Baptist anniversaries in May. Chinese Honors the Missionaries. Chinese Honors the Missionaries. The great change which has come over China recently was illustrated by the mode in which the emperor's birthday was celebrated in various cities. At Halcheng, when Christian missions' were begun 34 years ago, the missionaries were insulted, abused and denied food or shelter. So late as 23 years ago they were pelted in the streets. But this year they were included among the honored guests of the government of the same city upon the emperor's birthday, and upon them was lavished the most generon hospitality. R. J.

It is remarkable to note the rise of the Colored performer on the stage in the past five years, and St. Louis has come in for her share of the glory, While St. Louis has produced only one star, Billy Eldridge, the real responsibility of St. Louis' glory can be laid at the door of the organizing of the Dumas Dramatic club five years ago by the young people of the city. Little was thought at the time of the prominence that such an organization would gain. The aim was at legitimate drama. Among a few of the productions were "The Oath" and "Because I Love You," at the Old Fourteenth Street theater; "The Redemption, at the Odeon, and "Damon and Pythias," at the Music hall before 3,500 Knights of Pythias and their friends. Tumerous other plays were presented for charitable institutions. Then the ambition began to arise among several of the members to go upon the professional stage, and now prominent places are filled with credit in the big Colored shows—namely, Lester A Walton and Georgia Harvey-Mickey, of the Rufus Rastus Company, and Ada Guiguese, of the Williams and Walker Company. The organizers of the Dumas Dramatic club were: Julius A. K. Flicklin, Chas. A. Hunter, Oscar S. Flicklin, Edward Ware, Ambrose J. H. Bass, and, later, Marion A. Brooks, Wm. E. Officer, Wiley E. Price, Maurice R. Orman, Charles Mills, Charles Murrell and Bewick Pruitt were added to the directorate. Mr. Marion A. Brooks was elected stage manager. Messrs. Hunter and Brooks have been associated together in staging all of the plays the club produced. Their largest undertaking being the staging of the Historical drama, Damon and Pythias, which was pronounced by press and public a success, still the presentation of the four act comedy drama "Because I Love You," met with such success that it was repeated with Mr. Brooks in the leading role and Mr. Hunter in the leading character role. The press comment was flattering to the entire cast and production. Mr. Julius Flicklin was at all times the clubs hustling manager, and is now associated with Mr. Jas. W. Grant in the "Blue Concert Band." Much praise can be given to the club and the management for the advancement of the colored profession on the American stage. It is learned that Messrs. Hun- --- ter and Brooks have arranged a new musical comedy which is now under conciliation by Mr. Earnest Hogan for future production. Book Lyrics and Music by Messrs. Hunter and Brooks.

Hunter and Brooks are the coming dramatists of the Negro people. Watch the Palladium for further particulars concerning the greatest drama of the coming season. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Brooks' Skating Rink is doing a good business. We advise all to patronize this gentleman. 2120 Market street. E. A. Billups is a candidate for the dead beat society. He formerly lived at 4279, 4348 and 419 St. Ferdinand Avenue. At one place he had a wife. Wait for the history of this man. The time is past when a young girl can travel on her face or shape. There must be something else. There must be quality instead of quantity. Mark what we say. Last week we spoke nicely, as we thought, of the Star Skating Rink, but some mutton head Negro took exception to the article which spoke of a dozen monkeys. The Negro doesn't know what advertising is. It is to attract attention. MANAGER WHEELER. Abraham Lincoln Lee, was in the barbershop last Sunday morning. As the Palladium man came in, he was the happiest Nigger in the bunch. He told the Palladium man that he did not give a D—about his name appearing in the dead heat society—for that is the way he kept up appearance with his family, in beating everybody that he can. We Are Up Again and Propose to Get Busy. Are the churches and Masonic lodges doing their duty to their old and faithful member, one Moses, a member of Prince Hall lodge and also of First Baptist church? He has been blind for several years, he is now living at 1534 N. 18th street. I have seen him and judging from his appearance, the church and lodge are doing nothing for him. As soon as a Negro can get his stomach full of cabbage and neck bones and he sees where he can get it for a while, he swells up like a toad-frog and says to his wife, "We must cut down expenses." The wife says, "My dear, we have no extra expenses." We only take the Post, Globe and two Negro papers, and these I have taken for years. Well, you must cut off those Negro papers, for I don't like them. Thus the master of Creation speaks and the poor wife must obey to live with him who has no respect for her. A man that loves and respects his wife will cater to what she likes and not want to display that he is the whole show. NOTICE The old historic Second Baptist church of this city is in the midst of a great revival. Several weeks ago we communicated with, and employed the Rev. E. C. Cole, D. D., of St. Louis, Mo. Brother Cole reached here Thursday afternoon over the Southern railroad at 2:20 p.m. The meeting had already begun. I introduced Rev. Cole to an ordinary congregation Thursday night. Friday the crowd attended the services which was of course a drawing card for Sunday night. Rev. Cole seemed to have been at his best and preached two powerful sermons, full of reason and quite appealing indeed, and he is being styled as a great preacher. A great meeting is now visible ahead. Collection (in the ordinary) Sunday was $50.55. We shall baptize next Sunday at 11 o'clock and again at the end of the meeting. I'm delighted to have a strong gospel preacher of St. Louis with me, and our people are perfectly delighted also. We are gradually building our church up, over 200 members have been added in one year, and a $3,000.00 debt over half paid, besides all general expenses kept up and $300.00 back salaries paid up. Our church is doing well generally, and I am liking it better each day. My wife likes it fine and is loved by all. I desire for St. Louis, to know these facts and I am impressed with the way to make it known is to put it in the Palladium, for it is a great paper. Success to you. J. H.

The Progressive Laundry, at 2315 Market street, is now employing all colored help.

Whitfield, who has held a position in the office of the Internal Revenue Collector for nearly twelve years will, during his vacation next June, go east, to Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, Mass., at which place he will take unto himself a wife, who is one of the richest colored ladies in the east.

We wish to say that Mr. Whitfield is one of our best citizens and is well liked by the good people of St. Louis.

Fields of the Missouri Juvenile Court and Deputy Queen Annie Muldrow assisted by daughter Ada [Picture of a woman with a high neckline and lace collar. She is wearing a dark dress with a white collar. The background is a solid black oval.]] ANNIE MULDROW. Harris have again shown their ability as organizers, and as the work goes on council after council is making its appearance in the young grand masters jurisdiction. Deputy Supreme Queen Annie Muldrow is one of the foremost workers in the order, and it can be said without fear of contradiction that she is the best and most tary of the ritus and a b represent ritory a ered the kind in Fields, done we [Picture of a woman in a white hat and dress]. Prof. O. M. Wood, formerly principal of the L'Ouverture school of this city, but for the past four years superintendent of public schools for the island of Porto Rico, has been appointed commissioner general of the United States government exhibit from Porto Rico at the Jamestown tri-centennial exposition. Prof. Wood and his staff of auxiliaries sailed for this country April 11 for the purpose of installing the Porto Rican exhibit and attending the opening of the exposition, after which they will return home, as Prof. Wood can not long be spared from his duties as superintendent of instruction. Before leaving the United States he will pay a flying visit to friends in St. Louis. Huntsville, Mo. We are glad to note that the church is still in a prosperous condition both spiritually and financially. Sunday the ordinance of baptism was administered by Rev. E. S. Reed, pastor. Twelve persons were baptized, and was considered the most beautiful baptism that we have had for some time in this place. Rev. W. H. Davis of Western College, was with us and preached morning and evening two soul stirring sermons, which were much enjoyed by all present. We are always glad to have this distinguished gentleman with us. We feel that he is worthy of the confidence of the brethren of the state. We feel that he is an amiable gentleman. There were a number of visitors present, among the visitors present were: Mrs. O. T. Reed, the mother of Rev. S. S. Reed, who made a beautiful talk which was very effective and much appreciated by all. Mr. Tom Viley of Sturgeon, was present and made a good talk, also prayed for the success of our church. A Correspondent. To the Editor: able worker in the western jurisdiction, and we commend her for her great work. She was assisted in setting up the council by Western Past Grand Master John W. Wheeler, who has charge of the states of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa; also Mrs. Vera Finney beautiful princess of St. Joe Council and Mrs. Mary Buckner, most excellent queen of St. Joe Council. Mrs. Ada Harris, the worthy recorder of St. Joe Council assisted Deputy Queen Muldrow in selecting the new members of the council. She was appointed deputy organizer by Grand Master Fields on account of her unquestioned ability as an organizer. Supreme Deputy Queen Annie Muldrow has undoubtedly worked herself up to a line of promotion and we expect to see good things come to her in the near future. She is a good worker and beyond a doubt an able assistant to the grand master, and above all she believes in the supreme organization which has its headquarters in Nashville, Tenn. Dr. D. L. Martin, of Nashville, Tenn., is the supreme grand master of the United States and Canada. Dr. R. F. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., supreme secret- tary of the order, and the author of the ritualistic work, is an able doctor and a brilliant orator. The order is represented in thirty states and territory also Canada and is considered the largest organization of its kind in this country. Grand Master Fields, since he has taken hold has done wonderful work, and it would not surprise us to see him promoted also to one of the supreme heads. Past Grand Master John W. Wheeler is one of the founders of the organization and has on all occasions assisted the young grand master in his work, and advised him all along the line. On account of his jurisdiction being in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, he has been unable to do much work in those states for the past few months, but at that he has eight new councils on the road in Kansas. Grand Master Fields will order a special dispensation for Missouri and Illinois in the month of May, and we would advise all Sir Knights and Daughters to get their many friends in the order under this new dispensation. We specially commend the young grand master for his good work and say may God speed him on to victory. With his able Assistant Deputy Supreme Queen Annie Mildrow. TAINMENT. One of the most successful and enjoyable entertainments ever given in St. Louis was the Grown Up Childrens Party, under the auspices of the Young Ladies Aid for the benefit of Provident Hospital on Friday, April 5, 1907. The friends and patrons to the hospital responded readily to the appeal of the Aid and large delegations were present from the following clubs: "T. C. G. C." Thimble, Informal Dames, Classical Whist, Fortnightly, Forum and Anniversary. The games, dances and grand march were under the direction of Prof. Jas. L. Usher, assisted by Prof. David E. Gordon. Many of the guest requested the "Aid" to repeat the entertainment. Encouraged by their success the ladies have decided to make this an annual Easter event, as is their masquerade on Mardi Gras night. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. A series of lectures to men has been arranged by the religious work committee for the month of April.

As Miss Yaden Carnes, accompanied by her sister, was leaving the Methodist church, South, after having attended prayer meeting, Finis Stark, a former sweetheart, rushed across the street and, thrusting a revolver over her sister's shoulder, shot Miss Yaden Carnes a few inches above the heart. She staggered back into the church crying, "I am shot, protect me." Stark tried to follow her into the church, but the girl's sister struggled with him, trying to hold him back. The young man shot again as the wounded girl went inside the church. Stark, tearing himself loose from the sister, again started into the church, but the preacher, the Rev. Mr. Swanson, grabbed his arm and held him. A large crowd was gathering and Stark, fearing capture, tore away and rushed down an alley. Several persons started in pursuit. He fired at them and as they were all unarmed they stopped. The sheriff hastily organized a posse to capture the man. Miss Carnes was taken to her home. Physicians dressed the wound and expressed the belief that she may recover. Miss Carnes is a church worker and stands high socially. Asks Engineer Applications. The state board of agriculture has authorized the secretary, George B. Ellis of Columbia, to announce to all applicants for the position of state highway engineer that applications should be filed in the office at Columbia at an early date, so that the qualifications of the applicants may be thoroughly investigated. The law will go into effect June 14, and the appointment should be made so that the engineer can enter upon the discharge of his duties by the first of July. To be eligible to the office a man must be a competent civil engineer and a graduate of some reputable engineering school, and must be skilled in "practical and scientific knowledge of the best and most economical methods of constructing and maintaining public highways, culverts and bridges." The term of appointment is for four years and the salary will be $2,400 per annum. Exhumed for Examination. Following a clue which points strongly to poisoning with a mercenary motive the grand jury at St. Joseph ordered the bodies of James Stephen Self and Ernest J. Geisler to be exhumed from their graves in Mount Mora cemetery and has directed that the stomach be removed that chemical analysis may be made with a view to ascertaining if it contain polson in sufficient quantities to have caused death. Self a Burlington engineer, died 18 months ago and Geisler one year ago. He carried $6,000 life in surance. To Fill a Senate Vacancy. Both parties in Jasper county hurried matters for the special election to be held April 18 and nominated a state senator to succeed the late Thomas Connor. The democrats went through the form of a primary and selected ex-Sheriff W. H. Warren of Joplin. . The republicans in a delegate convention named John M. Mauge of Joplin, a mining man. Was a Costly Strike. The cost of the six days' strike to the brewery owners, of St. Louis, according to W. J. Lemp, jr., was approximately $500,000. This estimate includes wasted materials, loss of time and of trade and the cost of regaining business. It is stated that the strikers will not obtain strike benefits from their unions owing to the fact that the strike lasted less than a week. For Desecrating a Graveyard. Relatives and friends of persons buried in the old Quaker graveyard at Fidelity, south of Joplin, have issue a complaint against Hiram Smith, charging him with desecrating the burying ground by allowing his stock to run at large among the graves and by plowing up part of the cemetery and planting crops in it. Smith has been arrested. Connor Left Three Millions. Nothing definite is known here concerning the disposition of the property of the late Senator Thomas Connor, who died in San Antonio, Tex., and his bequests probably will not be known until his will is filed for probate. The value of his property is considerable, more than $3,000,000. Lee's 'Surmit School Bonds Carry. The proposition to vote $20,000 in bonds to build a new high school building in Lee's Summit, carried the recent election by a vote of 190 to 67. The property on Second street known as the Simpson lot was chosen as the site by a vote of 187 to 66. Roodlers' Sentences Commuted. Gov. Folk has commuted the sentences of Emil Hartmann and Julius Lehmann, former members of the St. Louis house of delegates, convicted of boodling, to expire on June 15. They were sentenced in 1934. Hartmann for six years, and Lehmann for seven. Increase in Beer Inspection Fees. The receipts of the state beer inspector for the month of March, 1907, were $37,244.79, as against $26,126.95 for the corresponding month of last lear an increase of $11,117.84. Maj Harvey Solomon Convicted The jury in the case of Maj. H. W. Salmon, accused of grand tarceny growing out of the Salmon & Salmon bank failure in Clinton, returned a verdict of guilty and assessed the punishment at three years in the penitentiary. Maj. Salmon was accused of taking deposits when he knew the bank to be in a failing condition. The Salmon & Salmon private bank closed its doors June 21, 1905. Its last published statement showed alleged deposits of $725,000 and alleged resources of $797,382. Its owners, Major Harvey W. Salmon and Dr. G. Y. Salmon, were reputed to be men of great wealth, but it transpired they had apparently nothing outside of the bank. The bank had been in questionable condition for some time as the result of cattle deals of the Salmons and the taking by T. M. Casey, cashier, of the bank's funds to pay the debts of his father, George M. Casey, an extensive cattle operator, who failed in 1904. The receiver, Mr. Egger, reported a month after the bank failure that there were assets of a face value of $860,000 and liabilities of 1 million dollars. But in these assets were included $661,000 bills receivable, nearly all reported to be of a spurious character. Railroad Reminiscences. Railroad Reminiscences. A writer in the Macon Times, telling of the Hannibal & St. Joe railroad 50 years ago, says: "We used the old 40 or 50 pound rail with a poorly constructed road bed of mostly yellow clay that with any rain became like a hog wallow into which the cross ties and track would often be buried out of sight. It was no unusual sight to see the track for hundreds of feet in the cuts buried in the clay and slush from two to six feet in depth, and the locomotives would, in passing through this mire, become thoroughly coated all over. In those days, locomotives were ornamented with brass to such an extent that the firemen nearly wore themselves out trying to keep the brass work clean and bright." A Missouri Munchausen Noble Barns, treasurer of Audrian county, tells some of the best snake stories heard in Missouri. Last spring while making his canvass he ran across a den of snakes wriggling in a snow drift. This year he comes along with a story telling how he found a lot of peculiar tracks in the snow on his farm, which he followed and found to have been the trail of two frogs, which were afterwards found frozen in the snow. If Mr. Barnes is as versatile in the summer as in the Winter he ought to establish some new records during the fish and sea serpent season now opening. A Big Horse Sale. The big horse sale at Mexico closed recently with one of the largest crowds in its history. Over 150 head of the best blooded horses in the state were disposed of to parties from all over the United States. W. H. Grant, of Kansas City, and Paul Brown and R. L. Hawkins, of St. Louis, were among the buyers. Over $60,000 was the total of sales, not considering the many private bargains made. Thrifty Farmers' Wives. Sorne farmers' wives in Callaway county sell over $300 worth of butter and eggs yearly. The publication of this statement brought to the front a farmer's wife in Pike county who with the aid of her daughter, marketed nearly $800 worth of these luxuries last year. And yet there are boys who will stay on the farm instead of going to town to work on the street cars. A Duck Hunter's Mishap. A Fayette duck hunter waded out into the river near Cambridge to secure a bird he had shot. He was engulfed in the quicksand and called to the other hunters who were in the skiff. They rowed rapidly to his aid. The man in the river had only his head above the water. This the fast moving boat hit squarely, knocking the man senseless and putting him under. He was rescued in the end. Prominent Physician Dead. Dr. Frank Riley, 48 years old, and for many years a practicing physician at St. Joseph, died recently from paralysis. He was a Shriner and a member of Ararat temple, Kansas City. He was also a Knight Templar and he organized the first tribe of Ben Hur in St. Joseph. New Judges Appointed. Governor Folk has appointed W. H. Walace criminal judge, James H. Slover and E. E. Porterfield, new circuit judges for Jackson county. Judge Slover's resignation as criminal judge, which was placed in the governor's hands recently was accepted. Examiner in Charge. State Bank Examiner Nichols at the direction of Secretary of State Swanger took charge of the Bank of Greenville, in Wayne county. From information in the hands of the secretary of state the bank is in a failing condition due to mismanagement, carelessness and a series of bad loans. A check for $1,000 presented by a depositor could now be met, the bank having but $400 on hand. It was organized in 1906 with a capital of $19,000. FOLK'S MESSAGE EXTRA SESSION OF THE MISSOU- RI ASSEMBLY CONVENES. GOVERNOR RECOMMENDS NEW LAWS Directs the Attention of the Assembly to Six Specific Subjects. Jefferson City—The Forty-fourth General Assembly convened in extraordinary session at noon Tuesday. Following the reading of Gov. Folk's messages setting forth the object of the call, both houses adjourned until Wednesday. The Governor directed the attention of the Assembly to six subjects, namely: 1. The enactment of a law giving St. Louis, among other municipalities, the right to regulate the rates charged by public service corporations. 2. An amendment to the racetrack gambling law to prohibit the telephoning or telegraphing of bets on horse races, with an emergency clause. A bill without the emergency clause was passed at the late session, but the announced intention of the St. Louis race track men to carry on their operations until that law shall become effective prompts the executive to urge immediate action at this time. 3. The passage of a law empowering the Governor to direct the Attorney General to institute before the Supreme Court proceedings again negligent county officials. 4. The passage of a general appropriation bill, to take the place of the one recently enacted which is held to be invalid because of legal defects. 5. Home rule in the conduct of the police and election department of St. Louis, Kansas City, and St. Joseph. 6. An act creating the office of State Excise Commissioner, with power of review vested in the Circuit Courts. Existing law relates only to St. Louis. The Governor's Message. The following is a partial text of Gov. Folk's message: "The Forty-fourth General Assembly of Missouri, in regular session, accomplished much for the people of the State. The members of this assembly are entitled to praise for what they have enacted, but the work is not yet finished. There is more to be done. Believing if special measures of grave importance to the people are ever to be made laws, they will be by this assembly when they are considered apart from the multitude of duties and distractions incident to a general session. I have called you together in special session. It is your province to legislate, and I would not if I could interfere with your prerogative in that respect. It is my duty, however, to submit and urge upon you my views on public questions, for you to adopt or not, as in your conscience you may deem best for the people. I am answerable to the people for my recommendations. You are answerable to the people for your legislation. Local Self-Government. "The subject of this session have to do with government and with the enforcement of the laws, which is the main purpose of government among a free people. Under our form of government the State is sovereign as to all matters except those delegated to the national Government. The right of the State to self-government should be zealously guarded from encroachments of the Federal Government beyond the powers expressly delegated to it by the states. What State Could Do. "What is self-government? Is it that law-breakers in localities who openly are permitted to defy the laws of the State should not be interfered with by the State? This is local nullification; it is not self-government. The right of local self-government is, the right of a locality to enforce the State laws through its local officials. But when these officials cannot or will not enforce the laws there is no longer local self-government. If highway robbers and marauders were permitted to operate at will in any county without interference it could not be said that the people of the county have local self-government, for they in the case mentioned would have no government at all. If the State authorities should step in and uphold the majesty of the law in that county it would not be interfering with local self-government there, but rather would be restoring local self-gov Receiver Relieved. Atlanta, Ga.—Judge Newman, in the United States district court, Monday issued an order believing J. T. Dargan, president of the Atlanta & Birmingham Fire Insurance Co., from further connection with the receivership of the company. H. C. Sexton is made sole receiver. Judge Newman also granted a petition asking that all charges reflecting upon the character of President Dargan be stricken from petitions filed some time ago. Gov. Hanly $links. Indianapolis—Gov. Hanley's condition has taken a turn for the worse. The family physician, Dr. Goar, called into consultation Tuesday Dr. Simon P. Sherer, stomach specialist, and strict orders were given that the governor should remain in bed at least three weeks. To Penitentiary for Forgery. Kansas City, Mo.—Fred Klages, who when arrested, gave his name as Corlidon, was sentenced to the state penitentiary for five years. ernment by destroying local lawlessness. Public Utilities. "One of the subjects, local in its nature, is that or rates charged by public utilities. In furtherance of the principal of local self-government, I believe that the municipalities of the State should have power to fix reasonable rates to be charged by public service corporations. The corporation is a fixture in our modern life. It is entitled to fair treatment the same as individuals; no more, and no less. But it should be required to treat the people fairly. With the enormous growth of public service corporations, controlling monopolies, it has become necessary for some governmental agency to regulate their charges in order to prevent extortion from the public. This should be done, not with a view of injuring the corporations controlling such monopolies, but merely to secure justice to the public. Asks Racing Amendment. "Some time last year the Supreme Court decided the act of the forty-third General Assembly did not apply to bookmakers telephoning their bets out of the State to be registered. This ruling, as I pointed out to you at the regular session, practically nullifies the statute, as each bookmaker under it needs only to add a telephone to his other paraphernalia running to East St. Louis, Ill., or Kansas City, Kas., to defeat the law. I recommend to you the enactment of a statute, making it a felony to register a bet upon a horserace, either or a blackboard or other substance, or to telephone a bet on a horserace to any other State to be registered there, or to telegraph a bet for such purpose, or to use any instrument or device to accomplish the registration of bets. This statute was passed, but the emergency clause was overlooked, so that it will not go into effect until June 14 of this year. Within a few hours after the adjournment of the regular session the racetrack gamblers announced that the racetracks would be opened and gambling on races permitted this spring. Their preparations, to reap a crooked harvest were checked by the call for this special session, which included this subject. The Saloon and the Law. The Saloon and the Law. "The liquor traffic should be regulated by strict laws and those laws vigorously enforced. We need a law prohibiting brewers and distillers having an interest in dramshops. The criminal saloons are often the brewery-owned saloons. Competition between breweries compels them to take a low class of men and set them up in business. These men have no sense of proprietorship or pride in running a decent place and these saloons often become dens of vice and lawlessness. Effective local option laws for counties, towns and cities should be enacted. The State Control Law. "Why is it that the plea of local self-government was not set up against the State regulating the mines, the railroads, the insurance companies, the banks, the dentists, the barbers, the bee hives? It is only when the saloons and gambling interests are sought to be brought within the law that local self-government is invoked. At the regular session of this Assembly laws are enacted placing all the banks of the State under the control of a banking commissioner; putting the bee hives under the State Inspector of Aplares; placing the roads under the supervision of the State Highway Engineer; providing for a State Game Warden to enforce the laws to protect the birds of the air and the fish that swim in the water; providing for State control for the weighing of grain in all public warehouses; making food-stuffs subject to the inspection of the State Food Commissioner. There was nothing heard about self-government when these were being considered. But when it is urged that the State have some authority to enforce its laws against the liquor interests the situation in the minds of some assumes a different aspect, and the cry of self-government is raised, although real self-government is in no way affected by the excise law. May Cite Other Matters. May Cite Other Matters. "These are the only subjects embraced in the call convening this session. During your deliberations occasion may arise to submit other matters, but this will not be done unless I consider them of such grave importance as to demand attention at once, for I realize after your arduous labors of the regular session it would be imposing a hardship on you to bring your attention to other than measures of vital consequence. Killed in Front of Station. Jackson Mississippi—Harry Little 21 years old, a fireman for the Illinois Central Railroad, met death in front of the Union Depot this morning. He was coupling the engine to a train when four coaches passed over his body. Columbus, O., Has Fire.

Negro Murderer Captured Houston, Tex-News was received here Sunday night that Sonny Jones, a jealous negro, shot and mortally wounded his wife near Wharton Lake Saturday evening. He then killed her mother. The kidneys have a great work to dc in keeping the blood pure. When they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness, languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S. A. Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville, Mo., says: "Before they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness, languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S. A. Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville, Mo., says: "Before using Doan's Kidney Pills I suffered everything from kidney troubles for a year and a half. I had pain in the back and head, and almost continuous in the loins and felt weary all the time. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills brought great relief, and I kept on taking them until in a short time I was cured. I think Doan's Kidney Pills are wonderful."

Work in the hop fields is the latest "rest cure" fad for London's smart set, and the luxurious society "hoppers" claim that a week's hopping is far better and more pleasant than a rest at any well-known health resort. The tents of these well-to-do pickers are expensively furnished, and easy chairs, soft beds and up-to-date camping outfits are among their hopping appliances. In Berlin there is a woman veterinary surgeon who is an official inspector of animals. She rides through the streets on the lookout for animals suffering from any disablement, and before reporting a horse as unfit for work, she examines its injuries and whenever possible applies remedies to alleviate its pain. She carries a leather case filled with bandages and other surgical appliances. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile-beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work.

Wander Fever Have you never felt the longing that it were possible to step quietly off your accustomed path in life and strikes new into fresh fields and pastures now. There are few of us so contented never to be troubled with such a HONEST MEDICINE TRY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR STOMACH TROUBLE. Convincing Evidence Supported by Guarantee That Must Convince The Most Skeptical. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a doctor-prescription, used by an eminent practitioner, and for nearly a generation known as a reliable household remedy throughout the United States. Needless to say, no advertised medicine can retain popular favor for so long a period without having great merit and it is invaluable curative properties of the pills that have made them a standard remedy in every civilized country in the world. Added to this is the absolute guarantee that the pills contain no harmful drug opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A research evidence of their efficacy is found in the statement of Mrs. N. B. Whitley, Boxley, Ark., who says: "I had suffered for a good many years from stomach trouble. For a long time I was subject to bad spells of fainting and lack of breath accompanied by an indescribable feeling that seemed to start in my stomach. Whenever I a little run-down or over-tired, that spells would come on. They occur frequently but did not last very long. "I was confined to my bed for the weeks one time and the doctor pronounced my trouble chronic inflammation of the stomach and bowels. Since that time I have been subject to the fainting spells and at other times to the tering of the heart and a feeling though I was smothering. My general health was very bad and I was weak and trembling. "I had seen Dr. Williams' Pink Pills mentioned in the newspapers and decided to try them. When I began taking the pills I was so run-down in strength that I could hardly do any housework. Now I could walk ten miles if necessary. Both my husband and myself think the Williams' Pink Pills the best medicine made and we always recommend the pills to our friends." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood and give strength and tone to every part of the body. They have cured serious disorders of the blood and nerves, such as rheumatism, sciatica, anamia, nervousness, headaches, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Virus dance and many forms of weakness either sex.

C., when he was about 57 years old. Perhaps the best authorities that he was in Laban's service for 20 years; but others, nending too little pace in 20 years for all the recorded events, reckon it is a year and understand the "20 years" twice mentioned in Gen. N4-10 to be two periods of 20 years each. See Excursions on the chronology in El- PLACE—The Jabbok (the modern Lady Zorka) is one of the principal riv- es of eastern Palestine. It flows into Jordan from the east; the opposite city of Sumatra is Penile. It was proba- bled a prominent ridge near "George Adam Smith." Comment and Suggestive Thought. Hints from Haran—Jacob was 20 years or more in Haran. During that time he had a good opportunity to learn thoroughly a number of important lessons; among them these: 1. That tricksters are likely to get wicked in their turn. 2. That God can and will bring prosperity to any child of his without the aid of sharp practice on the part of the man whom God helps. 3. That God's promises are to be re- eased upon implicitly, no matter how cir- cumstances may seem to be opposing the fulfillment of them. 4. That God's law assigns one wife to one husband, and that any infringement of that law brings only unhappi- Jacob's Troubled Conscience.—Gen. 11:23. Jacob had accomplished a large part of his journey and was in the northern part of the land of Glead when the angry Laban overtook him, from there he proceeded southward and soon came to Mahanaim in Gilead, where he had his second comforting vision of angels—two hosts of them as his guards on either hand—and from two hosts he named the place. V.22. "And he rose up that night." This praying and the disposal of the caravan across the Jabbok must have joined Jacob well into the night. And men in his loneliness, in the darkness, the uncertainty, the great anxiety for himself, his loved ones, and the fruits of his long toil, Jacob's conscience, that had gone to sleep during the two decades in Mesopotamia, woke up with start. An Aroused Conscience.—Some men seek to quiet their consciences, which like buying an alarm clock and then anothering its sound in a feather pillow. It would be as foolish to pull up all danger signals where people are lying on the ice, or smash all the rights in the semaphores. What a strange thing is an old pain, laid away in a secret drawer the soul! Must it some time or be moistened with tears, until names to life again, and begins to in our consciousness, as the dry animalcule, looking like a grain crust, becomes alive if it is wet with drop of water?"—Holmes. That is what happened to Jacob. Wrestling in Prayer."—This strange man is often used as a model for our owners, and rightly, if the terrible sweetness of that midnight struggle alone considered, We are to "come unto the throne of grace," "with perseverance." "If you don't want thing, don't ask for it. Such asking the worst mockery of your King you insult him with."—Ruskin. We to pray as Luther prayed in great sweetness by the bedside of the Melancont for an hour, and reared home, when the recovery of the former for his splendid later years are assured, saying to his wife, "God me my brother Melancont back answer to prayer." Jacob's Reconciliation with Esau.—He was 33. Jacob must have been wonderfully strengthened in spirit, much worn in body, by his midnight jungle, and his fears must have been placed to a great peace. Neverless, he continued his wise prepara- tions to meet Esau. He arranged his family, putting in the rear, as the best place, those whom he most loved, Rachel and Joseph. Then he family went forward alone to meet a wronged brother. Seven times he went to the ground before Esau, as if knowing the superiority which had stolen from him; but if Esau had come in anger, the sight of Jacob seemed to bring back the happier part of their innocent boyhood. Immediately the injured brother ran to meet him, and in an eager embrace assured him of forgiveness. Esau even seemed generously to return Jacob's present, but was prevailed upon to keep it. He urged Jacob to accept an escort, but this was firmly re-ceived, perhaps with a lingering suspicion of his brother, but more likely be- came Jacob now felt God to be sufficient protection. Jacob speedily placed for winter quarters, and published himself in peace. If you fear God and believe that I wish with you, God will prosper your assets and labor; but never make that excuse for saving in your hearts, that Jacob, God intends that I should give these good things; therefore I may take them for myself by unfair means! The birthright is yours. It is on the steady, prudent, God-fearing who will prosper on the earth, and not poor, wild, hot-headed Esau. "God seea in every Jacob more than Jacob sees in himself."—Joseph wrote. If the most crooked stick will suit to the carpenter, he will sit out straight at his. GRIT SAVED HIS LEG. tanchman Rode Far After Most Seri ous Injury. Jack Farland, a ranchman living at the base of Pike's Peak, and whose post office is Midland, in this county, yesterday suffered a broken leg by being caught between a horse which he was riding and a timber wagon which he was attempting to pass while en route to this city, says the Triple Creek Times. Farland displayed the greatest of pluck by riding to Victor after suffering the injury, although he said upon arriving here that he felt several times that he must give up. Knowing, however, what difficulty would attend any attempt to dismount, and how well nigh impossible it would be for him to remount in the event that he succeeded in getting safely off his horse, the ranchmanritted his teeth and kept on. After having his leg set by a surgeon of this city, Farland collapsed and it was late in the afternoon before he was able to proceed homeward in a carriage, the accident having happened early in the morning. SARSAPARILLA TIME. Make Your Own Sarsaparilla or Spring Blood Medicine. Mix one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar- on, three ounces Compound Syrup arsaparilla. Shake well in a bottle and take one teaspoonful after meals and again at bedtime. Any good drugist can supply these ingredients. This is said to be a splendid Spring Blood Tonic and system renovator because of its gentle action in restoring he Kidneys to normal activity, forcing him to filter from the blood all impure matter and acids, destroying micro-organisms which produce ill health and sour blood. Everyone should take something to cleanse the blood at this time of year, and the above simple prescription is the most highly indorsed of the hundreds of home remedies generally used. Mix this yourself, then you will know what you are taking. WOMAN HAS FINE RECORD. Keeper of Lighthouse, She Has Saved Eighteen Lives. Ida Lewis recently celebrated her fifteenth year as keeper of the Lime island lighthouse in the harbor of Newport, R. I. As a girl and woman Ida Lewis has lived a remarkable life. Her bravery and skill in handling a boat are well known and her fame is secure as the great woman life saver in the world, for she has the credit of having saved no less than 18 lives, most of her rescues having been effected in the face of extreme danger and in winter. As keeper of the Lime island lighthouse, to which post she was appointed in recognition of her bravery and record as a life saver on the death of her father, Miss Lewis has shown herself as careful and efficient as a man could be. She is one of the few women in such a position. Sheep Raising in Australia The greatest industry of Australia is sheep raising, mainly for the sake of the wool, but also in part, of course, for the meat. Australia now ranks second among the great sheep-raising countries, Argentina being first, with 92,000,000 sheep, Australia second with 72,000,000, and Russia third with 70,000,000. Only a few years ago Australia was first, possessing no less than 106,260,000 head of sheep. That was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were the cause of the destruction of many millions of Australian sheep, but since 1902 there has been an annual gain. Yet these sheep were not indigenous to Australia. They were first introduced in 1797, being of the Spanish merino species. Carnegie Fund Participants. The report of the Carnegie fund for the advancement of teaching shows that already 389 institutions have applied for a share of the proceeds, and that of these 52 have been placed on the accepted list, having met the conditions in regard to undenominationalism and academic standards. In the accepted institutions 45 professors have received more than $69,000 and the widows of some professors have been assisted. One-half the accepted colleges are in New England, New York and Pennsylvania, and, with one exception, the entire list lies in the northern belt of states. The Kind of Food That Will Keep You Well. The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, and then cultivate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc. A conservative Mass. woman writes: "I have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in sickness and in health; at first following directions carefully, later in a variety of ways as my taste and judgment suggested. "But its most special, personal benefit has been a substitute for meat, and served dry with cream when rheumatic troubles made it important for me to give up the 'coffee habit.' "Served in this way with the addition of a cup of hot water and a little fruit it has been used at my morning meal for six months, during which time my health has much improved, nerves have grown steadier, and a gradual decrease in my comfort."

When the bedroom becomes a sick room there is an added reason why extreme precautions should be used to keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary condition. Above all things, the bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry, always warm and comfortable in winter, cool and ally in summer, and bright and sunny some parts of the day. If there is any suspicion of dampness in a bedroom it is probably due, if there is wallpaper on the wall, to the absorption of water by the paper which frequently acts as a blotting paper and holds quantities of water in it. The use of wallpaper on walls is to be deplored; it means disease, ill health and unhappiness. It is frequently the cause of lung trouble, not only because of its dampness but also because of its power to retain infection of many kinds. The desired method of treating a bedroom wall is to tint it for the alabastined wall is a perfect wall. It never flakes off, chips or peels. It absorbs moisture and expels it, it opens the pores of the plaster and makes a room invable and breathable. The floor in the bedroom should have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that can be easily shaken and a floor that is thoroughly oiled or varnished, that will not absorb moisture. The cracks in the floor should be thoroughly filled and covered. Woodwork in the bedroom should be attended to carefully, window sills should be thoroughly varnished or waxed, and the window casings kept in perfect order. The doors should be wiped off frequently as also should be all the standing woodwork in the bedroom, as the presence of dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence of poor housekeeping. Day of Gulllotine Ended. Since the prison of La Rochette, where the French guillotine used to be kept, has been pulled down, the machine of death has been kept in a shed belonging to the state executioner. Since there is no place in Paris where it seems desirable to put up the guillotine, no more executions take place there. The president of the republic gets around the difficulty by commuting the death sentence to imprisonment. SLEEP BROKEN BY ITCHING. Eczema Covered Whole Body for a Year—No Relief Until Cuticura Remedies Prove a Success. "For a year I have had what they call eczema. I had an itching all over my body, and when I would retire for the night it would keep me awake half the night, and the more I would scratch, the more it would itch. I tried all kinds of remedies, but could get no relief. "I used one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura, and two vials of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, which cost me a dollar and twenty-five cents in all, and am very glad I tried them, for I was completely cured.

These have made it almost impossible for a man having a bump of locality of average size to be lost, in spite of heavy mists and blinding snowstorms caused by sudden changes of temperature.

This makes eleven churches that Bishop Mack has built and it seems that he has a special call from God to do this work. May the high God give the good man of God a long life in the world, Yours in Christ, Spee Re i pastorate of the historic Seventh Street Baptist church of Keokuk, Ia. After weeks of prayer, the doctor de- cided to accept the new call, which was unanimous. Last Sunday morn- ing, wilen Dr. Venable announced his purpose to resign, the congregation, young and old, wept with bitterest anguish and pleaded with the elo- quence of speech and tears to their leader not to desert them. This, it is believed, had great weight with the pastor. All day Sunday there was great weeping and mourning and pray- ing to od, and pleading with the man who hs: made an enviable record on Compton Hill and in St. Louis the past four years. He has raised quite $12,000 and increased the membership 200, including the recent revival meet- ings. Dr. Venable is a man of ster- ling qualities and great personal mag- netism. He is serving his second term as moderator of Berean Baptist As- sociation, Berean was incorporated last fall under the laws of this state, with Dr. Venable as president. The association is showing up fine under the guidance of this bright star. Dr. Venable is a member of the Macon college board and chaplain of the in- terdenominational alliance of this city. ‘The Baptists, and in fact all, without regard to denomination, should be proud of this eloquent and worthy man. I know I will leave ladies and gentle- men capable _of accomplishing great work for our blessed Master. ‘The Heiping Hand Siciety. Meets the first Tuesday in each month. Admission fee, $1.

Where?” In the hearts of the mem- bers of the church and especially thouse who are loving each other and the church and are working daily to pay off the debt on the same. Some of them are giving festivals, suppers, parlor socials and various entertain- ments in order to raise the $200 which is apportioned each club of ten, wich will amount to $2,000. It is hoped that this amount will be raised with ease, as the chureh is in dire neea of money. There is a $1,200 debt stand- ing over the church. It is hoped that the church will be full on the fourth Sunday in this month, for on that day the public will be called on to give liberally, as it is the purpose of the pastor to raise $2,000, which will be paid on the main debt of the church, thereby reducing it to $10,000. ‘This can be done very easily, provid- ing every member and friends will do their part. Hence it is hoped that that day will be recorded in history as being the greatest financial day that was ever witnessed there before. Don't fail to attend the Baptist Young People’s Union, for the meet- ing is generally full of interest. It ‘commences at 5:30 p. m. and closes at 7:30 p.m. The public is cordially invited. Send your children out to the Sab- bath school, for there tney rearn to read, to sing, to pray and become Christians. If the parents all over the city would do this there would be less criminals, less sickness, less sor- ‘row and less starvation. There is preaching every Sunday at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p.m. The sermons are of the best; in fact, full of logic and instruction. All are invited. One candidate was baptized last Sunday directly after the morning service of covenant meeting. One sister sang a lovely spiritual song while going down to the water, which enlivened the occasion. Miss Anna B. Thomas, of 1314 Clark avenue, an influential lady of the church and a member of the choir, sang a beautiful solo in a concert at the Central Baptist church last Thurs- day night. DECEASED AGE 70 YEARS. Mrs. Maria Fleetwood of Triplet, Mo., departed this life at the home of her sister in the eastern part of the town at the age of 70 years. The deceased was a member of the First Baptist church of this place for 20 years and lived a consistent Chris- tian. She was also a member of Brent Temple No. 102 8. M. T., which order buried her with honor. The funeral services were conducted by Rev, Pan- key, pastor, after which the remains were tenderly laid to rest in Union cemetery to await the resurrection of the Just. The deceased leaves a son, daughter, two sisters, two broth- ers, five grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. “Servants of God’ well done, Rest from thy blest employ.

Great Ovation. The presentations of a large and beautifully framed picture of Pres- ident B. F. Allen by the students of Lincoln Institute, was a very pleas- ing feature of chapel exercises of Fri day morning, April 5. The entire af- fair was a grand ovation to the wor- thy president, and was. planned and directed by the student body as a token of loyalty to esteem, love and appreciation for their able, conscien- tious and painstaking leader, Presi- dent Allen, and it brought rounds ‘and rounds of applause, as well as classic oratory. Chester Kimbrough, class of ‘07, was master of ceremonies and his well expressed speech was followed by eloquent speeches from other stu- dents as follows: Ruth Cooper, Clar- ence Davis of '07, William Scott, Zeno- bia Jackson, class of ‘08. To these speeches President Allen replied in language that very appropriately ex- pressed his deep appreciation of the sentiments that prompted the act of the student. body. The visit of Bishop Caldwell of Philadelphia and his valuable address lent imspiration to all who heard him. The faculty and students contribut- ed liberally to the Douglass Memorial fund. The baseball game between Lincoln Institute and George R. Smills’ Col- lege teams, on April 6th resulted in a score of 16 to 10 in favor of Lin- coln. In the “spelling match,” April 5th, Miss Mattie Scott, sophomore normal, Mexico, Mo., secured first prize, $5.00; Edward Viley, junior normal, Hunfts- ville, second prize, $1.00. Josephine S. Yates.
