ALLEN AND HIS BRIDE. Brilliant Affair at Lincoln Institute. An elegant reception was tendered Dr. B. F. Allen and his beautiful bride, Mrs. Mayme Lee Allen, at Lincoln institute on the evening of the 16th inst by the summer school faculty, students and prominent citizens of Jefferson City. It was an elaborate affair, well planned and highly enjoyed by all present. A delicious menu was served in the spacious institute dining hall, where tables were arranged in the form of a capital letter A. Dr. and Mrs. Allen occupying the seats of honor. Covers were laid for fifty guests. Prominent among these were Mr. Virgil Franklin, Mr. and Mrs. Al Thomas, Mesdames Going King, Sexton Harrison, Jackson Henderson, Professor J. S. Moten and wife, Professor Murray and wife, Professor Josephine M. A. B. P. B. LANKFORD. P. B. Lankford was born near Potosi, Mo., 46 years ago. His mother was a very intelligent woman who put forth every effort to have her children learn some profession. It was then that Lankford began to study music at the age of eleven years, joining the second Negro band organized in the state of Missouri. At that time no Colored teacher could be found, and the prejudice was so great that his father built a band hall on his farm just outside the city limits for the boys, which were ten in number, and sent to Philadelphia for a teacher. After three months' teaching the boys began to show signs of success, and the teacher received a notice that he had better leave town and not be caught teaching any more Negroes in that town or there would be a Dutchman found hanging to a tree, and becoming frightened, he left. Another teacher, Harry Prentville, a doctor of music, was secured from Cincinnati, Ohio. Unable to secure a boarding place on account of teaching colored boys, he boarded with Lankford's father. He was a very fine teacher and took great pains with young Lankford in compulsion and harmony, which were his favorite studies, and at the age of 20 years he composed marches and selections which were played by the best bands in the country. Two of his latest marches are "The First Regiment, K. of P," and "U. S. Fighting Tenth Cavalry," which will be played by over 200 musicians at the National Conclave of the K. of P. Conclave in Louisville, Ky., in September. He is a member of the First regiment K. of P. Military band of this city, and has been teaching music for twenty years, and has some of the most successful students in the state, both colored and white. He is now organizing a lady's band to tour this country and Canada, which will be the only Colored organization of its kind in the United States. He is now located at 2647 Lawton avenue, Douglass building, Phone, Bell Bomont 2032. Enlarged Portrait Free With every dozen of our fine photographs we are giving away an elegant enlargement free.

Jacobs, Perry, Abingdon, Johnson, Graham, Collins, Grant, Turner, McDowell and others. Among the out of town guests we note Mrs. Elmer Jackson, Professor G. S. Evans of Kansas City. The various courses of daint viands, well suited to the unusually warm weather, were interspersed with the musical and literary numbers of a well rendered program, over which Professor Moten presided as toastmaster. Musical numbers were given by Misses King and Williams, Mesdames Al Thomas, Elmer Jackson and Mr. Jacobs. Responses to toasts, humorous and otherwise, were given by Messrs. Franklin, Jacobs, Perry, Professors Yates, SAM, THE TAILOR, OF 204-6 NORTH 14TH ST. On account of the increase in his business, Mr. Sam Weisman, better known as Sam, The Tailor, will remove his place of business to 1322 Olive street. The removal will take place about August 15th. Don't fail to get your next suit from him at the old stand, 204-6 North 14th street. You can then say, "I bought my last suit at the old stand for I got it cheaper." Then be sure that you get the first suit that is made at his new stand. Mr. Sam is undoubtedly the best man that you will ever meet. When a person has financial dealing with a man he can be generally judged by this passage of scripture of our Lord's: "When I was hungry, you fed me; when I was in prison you came unto me and when I was naked you clothed me." All these things has he done. Some people believe that we should not deal with any other people but our own race. You must make and keep your friends, White and Black, and you will always have friends who will help you in time of need, and Sam, The Tailor, is that man. Blue's Band Excursion. The next society event of note will be the grand evening excursion of Blue's Concert Band, under the auspices of the Knights of King Do-do, the latest addition to the ranks of social organizations. The excursion will be first class in every detail, as a glance at the names of those managing will be sufficient to warrant. The dancing will begin at 7 o'clock sharp, and the boat will leave the foot of Olive street at 8:30 Monday evening, July 29. Prof. W. D. Flowers will be the leader of the enlarged orchestra. The executive staff consists of Wm. Blue, president; John L. Fields, vice president; Eugene McDonald, secretary; John B. Vashon, treasurer; John E. Eubanks, general agent; Jesse J. Johnson, advertising agent; Sam Lucas, mascot, and James W. Grantt, general manager. NOTICE.

The sentiment breathed by each of these was entirely appropriate to the occasion, full of the best wishes and highest hopes for the present and future happiness of the newly wedded pair. The toast given by Professor Yates was an original marriage poem, "A Mystery Divine," dedicated to Dr. and Mrs. Allen, and received high commendation from all present. At the close of the program Dr. and Mrs. Allen thanked their guests for the pleasure of the evening and assured them of their high appreciation of the many friends present in words which left no doubt as to the depths from which they came. Thus, until a late hour, all went "merry as a marriage bell" when the guests departed, each carrying away most pleasurable memories of a very happy occasion. The presents were numerous and costly and are still coming. SHIRTWAIST PARTIES. Quite an agreeable innovation at Orpheus academy are the "Shirtwaist Parties," given there every Friday evening. They will continue during the warm weather. The privilege of appearing in shirtwaist, together with the large double-action revolving electric fans, make these parties enjoyable beyond compare.

James Lewis, of Terrell, Tex., was excused from jury service the other day on the ground that he was the father of 22 children. The court probably thought he had lost his sense of proportion. Mother Stewart, founder of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, recently celebrated her ninety-first birthday. She was the first woman known to hold a federal office, being a postmistress under Gen. Jackson. She was the first woman to demand police matrens. She began her temperance crusade at Springfield, O., and has written four books. Two prominent Cincinnati men, brothers, have been killed in an auto accident while riding in a hired machine. They wanted to make time, and told the chauffeur to go at full speed, and if arrested they would pay the fine. They were thrown out and instantly killed, but the chauffeur escaped without injury. It was a remarkable case of the responsible parties paying the fine. Speaking of the manner in which American visitors on foreign ships steal all small portable articles of value as "souvenirs," Admiral Evans says flatly that we are a nation of thieves. And considering the losses suffered by hotels in the way of silverware, towels, pillow slips, blankets and even rugs, the charge does not seem overdrawn. The worst of it is that such stealing is commonly done by people amply able to pay for their loot. Expert witnesses, as a class, have won the distrust of the public. A Massachusetts physician, following the example of thoughtful men in other states, has outlined a plan for the improvement of the legal value of expert testimony, and also for the protection of the medical profession from the ill repute brought upon it by some of its members in court. He proposes, says Youth's Companion, that the court appoint the experts and the state pay them. So long as human nature is human, an expert, no matter how good his intentions, will be inclined to favor the side by which he is engaged and paid. Attention of the geological survey having been called to a peculiar well in Hamilton county, Ohio, an investigation of it has just been completed. The well produces both fresh and salt water through two separate pumps. The explanation proved to be very simple. Two water-bearing beds, confined between layers of limestone, occur at this point, one above the other. The pipe of the fresh-water pump taps the upper vein at a depth of 16 feet. The salt-water pump touches the lower vein at 35 feet; the brine, being heavier than the fresh water, does not mix. Courtesy at Home. We are all creatures of habit, men and women alike, and the habits and surroundings of daily life have a powerful influence on the character of both. The root of all bad manners is selfishness; when self ever is first, foremost consideration for others always lags much in the rear, and drops so far behind in time that it disappears altogether. "One cannot keep up the ceremony and etiquette of society when at home." True, for between friends these can be laid aside. They merely are the rivets that keep society together, but not courtesy and consideration. The latter ought to be so much the habit with each of us that it will become our second nature, and therefore can be no more laid aside than can an arm or a leg. LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY. The New York Life's Business Nearly Up to the Legal Limit. The New York Life Insurance Company announces that its new paid business during the half year just ended was over seventy million dollars. As the new law allows no life company to write over one hundred and fifty millions per year, it would appear that this company is working nearly up to the limit. The New York Life gained such headway before the law was passed and suffered so little, comparatively, from the Armstrong investigation, that the question with its management has been how to keep business down to the limit, rather than how to reach it. No other company is writing nearly as much as the law allows. The New York Life has evidently become a preferred company. The company's payments to policy holders during the six months ending June 30 were $21,660,761. It is interesting to note that this amount was almost equally divided between payments under policies maturing by death and payments made to living policy holders. Thus, while death-claims were $11,180,626, the amount paid for matured endowments, annuities, trust fund installments, for purchased policies and for dividends was $10,480,135. Modern life insurance, as practiced by the best companies, embraces a wide field, and covers many contingencies. It is money saved for the aged, as well as money provided for the families of those who die prematurely. TRADITION OF THE ROSE. Pretty Legend Current Among North American Indians. The North American Indians of the western coast have a tradition that roses were created without thorns. So tall and fair they grew that all creatures were attracted by their beauty and grace. Animals that browse upon grass and green herbage soon discover the tender sweetness of the roses' abundant foliage, and then every rose tree holding its flowers aloft but attracted attention and drew destruction to itself. Every part of the earth had been given its glory of roses, but in every place there were animals which sought the bushes to devour them, and and tribes of roses were in danger of becoming extinct. In their extremity they held a council, for in that faraway morning of the world plants as well as animals had power to speak. To the council all the roses came, and each had a tale to tell of suffering and disaster. At length it was decided to send for help to the godman of the tribes—the Hlawatha of the west. Delegates were chosen from among those who were maimed and torn and had suffered most. Others also were sent who were tall and fair and graceful. Wisely this council discerned that should justice be denied the tribes, beauty might prevail in their cause. The conference was long and grave. At its close an armory of thorns was given to every rose, and thus were the tribes of roses delivered from the enemies.—Circle Magazine. MEAT OR CEREALS. A Question of Interest to All Careful Persons. Arguments on food are interesting. Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet on the ground that they do not like to feel that life has been taken to feed them, nor do they fancy the thought of eating dead meat. On the other hand, too great consumption of partly cooked, starchy oats and wheat or white bread, pastry, etc., produces serious bowel troubles, because the bowel digestive organs (where starch is digested), are overtaxed and the food ferments, producing gas, and microbes generate in the decayed food, frequently bringing on peritonitis and appendicitis. Starchy food is absolutely essential to the human body. Its best form is shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," where the starch is changed into a form of sugar during the process of its manufacture. In this way, the required food is presented to the system in a pre-digested form and is immediately made into blood and tissue, without taxing the digestive organs. A remarkable result in nourishment is obtained; the person using Grape-Nuts gains quickly in physical and mental strength. Why in mental? Because the food contains delicate particles of Phosphate of Potash obtained from the grains, and this unites with the albumen of all food and the combination is what nature uses to rebuild worn out cells in the brain. This is a scientific fact that can be easily proven by ten day's use of Grape-Nuts. "There's a Reason." Road, "The Road to Wellville," in pigs. HELD AS SLAVES ON PLANTATION U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY AT ST. LOUIS STARTS AN INVESTIGATION. PEONAGE CASE IN MISSISSIPPI Two Refugees Arrive in St. Louis and Tell Story of Colony of Italians Held in Bondage at Robinsonville. St. Louis—United States District Attorney Blodgett started an investigation of a story of peonage on a Mississippi plantation told him by two men who claim to have escaped after twenty-two months of slavery there. The men are Avanza Amedea, 40 years old, and Gulborzi Olindo, 45 years old. They were taken to the office of the district attorney by Michael Deelo, a saloonkeeper and interpreter of Eighth street and Franklin avenue. According to their story, told through Deelo, there is a peonage colony of twelve Italian families, consisting of fifty persons, on a cotton plantation at Robinsonville, Miss. They say they escaped from the plantation and made their way to St. Louis. They were ragged and hungry when they appeared at Deelo's place looking for help. According to their story, the Italians live in a sort of block house on the plantation, which is surrounded by guards with rifles who prevent them from communicating in any manner with their friends or the authorities. They say that for a year they have been trying to get word of their condition to the outside world. Letters they wrote to relatives and to the officials were destroyed, they say. During the twenty-two months they have been there they say that they have been compelled to work constantly and that the excuse of sickness was never accepted. If a member of the colony refused to work on account of sickness, he was flogged, they say. Mr. Blodgett immediately communicated by telegraph with William D. Frazee, United States District Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi. The two men are being cared for by Deeol, who has become much interested in their misfortunes. PEARY AFTER THE NORTH POLE Explorer to Begin Fifth Voyage With in a Few Days. New York, N. Y.—Commander Robert E. Peary has practically completed arrangements for departure on his fifth voyage in search of the North Pole, and within the next ten days hopes to sail for the North on the Roosevelt. The explorer is confident his voyage will be made 50 per cent easier by the knowledge herefore gained. On his last trip he got within 174 miles of the goal, and was then forced to turn back. This time he will travel the same route and leave his ship against the icefoot on the northeast coast of Grantland. He says: "When I leave the ship I will strike westward in the dash across the Polar basin. The drift of the ice is to the eastward, which was one of the important things I discovered on the last voyage. It will carry me to the Pole. Then I mean to strike directly for the north coast of Greenland, from which it will be only a few miles across the channel to the north shore of Grantland, where the Roosevelt will be in her winter quarters." Racetrack Stables Burn. Detroit, Mich.—Fire, attributed to a carelessly thrown cigarette stub, destroyed stable D and partially destroyed stable E at Grosse Pointe racetrack. The loss will probably not exceed $1,000. There were no horses in the stables at the time. Folk Commutes Brooks' Sentence. Folk Commutes Brooks Sentence.

Straus were entertained at the Merchants' Exchange, where a reception by the commercial men of the city was held in their honor. Brest, France-Japanese and American naval officers are mingling with the greatest cordiality here. The American tars, however, are all kept aboard their ships. JAPS RULE KOREA ADMINISTRATION UNDER GUIDANCE OF RESIDENT-GENERAL. ITO'S POWER IS VERY GREAT All Laws and Appointments Must Receive His Approval, According to Pact. Tokio.—The new convention between Japan and Korea was signed after no small opposition by the Korean court. The provisions are believed to be briefly as follows: First: That the administration of Korea shall secure the guidance of the Japanese resident-general. Second: That the enactment of all laws and ordinances, also all important state affairs, shall receive the approval of the resident-general. Third: That the appointment of all high and responsible officials shall receive the approval of the resident-general. Fourth: That only persons recommended by the resident-general shall be eligible for office in the Korean government. Fifth: That a distinct demarkation shall be drawn between administrative and judicial affairs. Sixth: That foreigners shall be employed only upon consent of the resident-general. Seventh: That the first clause of the convention of August 22, 1904, providing for the employment of a financial adviser, be annulled. The convention, which will now be submitted to the privy council of Japan, will be published here. TORTURED BY TROOPS. Minister Merry Charges Brutality in Effort to Convict Americans. New York—Mail advices received here from San Salvador make the charge that torture of San Salvadoreans has been resorted to by the authorities in an effort to convict George A. and John Moissant, American citizens, who are accused of being implicated in a revolutionary plot, although they have not been brought to trial after an imprisonment of over two months. The charges are based on a letter said to have been sent by United States Minister Merry to the minister of foreign affairs in Salvador. Minister Merry is quoted as writing, in part: "A careful study of the testimony against the Molssants convinces me of its general unreliability. I sincerely regret to say part of it has been obtained by physical torture of your own citizens. Your Excellency,has a right to be informed I am justified in this last assertion. Both acting Consul General Murphy and the writer have seen the lacerated thumbs of Salvadorean employees tortured by your troops. I have examined the trees where two of them were triced up and I have personally examined two noble Salvadoreans who refused to give false testimony, although triced up three times. "All honor is due to these men—poor, defenseless and uneducated, they have known the value of personal honor, truth and self respect and have suffered for them. They preferred torture to dishonor." White Girl Murdered. Ashland, Ky.—In Lawrence county, Ohio, opposite Huntington, Rose Maddox, a young white woman of Huntington, was murdered. About 3 o'clock Miss Maddox crossed the Ohio river at Huntington and walked down the river road. On the same boat were two negroes, whose names the ferryman did not know. They were last seen following closely behind Miss Maddox. One hour afterwards, the young woman was found dead in the bushes by the side of the road. Bryant's Daughter Dead. New York.-News of the death in Paris of Julia S. Bryant, the only surviving daughter of William Cullen Bryant, the poet, has been received in this city. She was 75 years old and until her father died in 1878 was his constant comrade and associate at his home in Roslyn, L. I. In 1878 she went to France, where she has since lived.

The parade of Polar Wave lodge No. 112 of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks of the World last Tuesday was a grand affair. They were all in carriages with Captain C. H. Tandy as grand marshal. The line of March was a long one and the people had a chance to see who the Elks were. Everything bid fair for one of the largest outings that ever took place at Bloemcke's grove, 6200 North-Broadway, but it seemed as if the managers of the weather thought that they would give relief to thousands of people who were suffering from the heat, so the threatening clouds and wind were uncontrolable and about 8 o'clock the wind began to descend in torrents for some time; therefore the outing was called off until the 8th of August, at which time the outing of the Elks will take place at 6200 North Broadway. The old adage must be remembered: "A good beginning makes a bad ending," and vice versa. Those at the head of the lodge know no such word as failure, so keep your eye on the columns of the Palladium and you will be informed on the action of Polar Wave lodge No. 112 of the Elks. J. E. Adams Minstrels and Vaudeville Co., with Norris & Rowe circus, en route in Canada, are experiencing a very prosperous season. They are having quite an enjoyable trip through Canada, but their brightest days are when they read the news from home through the medium of the Palladium, which they receive each week. The company is composed of the following: J. E. Adams, manager; Steve Adams, band master; Wm. C. Vassar, orchestra leader; H. P. Almond, cornetist; G. Cooper, trombone; P. Gantz, tuba; R.

Cole preached two splendid sermons last Sunday at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. There was quite a nice crowd out at each meeting. The Sunday school held its fortieth anniversary celebration last Sunday at 3 o'clock. The sermon was fraught with logic and good common sense. The meeting was indeed full of interest which was noticeable among the little children. The B. Y. P. U. will have a financial rally next Sunday for the purpose of raising three hundred and ninety dollars to pay on the next interest note which will fall due on the 7th of August, which will be quite a relief to the church. Each member and visitor are called on to give something to help out this worthy cause. The entertainments that were given at the homes of some of the members in the interest of the church proved a success. Mrs. J. W. Brooks and family of 10 Johnson street, are on a visit to Jefferson for the summer. The B. Y. P. U. meetings at 5:30 p. m. every Sunday are full of interest. You should attend those meetings if you wish to gain wisdom and knowledge. N. P. HAIRSTON, President. Record Bro COLORED CITY AD President. HARRY DENNY, President S. P.

The Palladium Man will be at your house early and late to get what you owe us. 4 years ago my hair was only a finger-length, and my temples were bald half way 4 years ago my hair just covered my shoulders. When we first begin our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities in lengths, and all conditions of hair, we place all places of the head, the face, the eyes, the mouth that such a thing was possible down the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of our value of our work is that we are being imitated, and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown, and whose hair we frequently use in our haircuts with their gods (saying that theirs "is the most just as good" or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" on every Grower (the oldest and best of its kind). See the most recent PORO" on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared by MRS. M. POPE. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.

COMPANY F’S GRAND EXCURSION. You will have to give it to them. ‘Company F of the Uniform Rank, K. of P., gave a grand excursion last Monday night on the steamer City of Providence which was a grand suc- cess. We were astonished to find such a surprise in store. Many of the best People of St. Louis were aboard and we were there. Some times we were in our invisible robe and sometimes out expecting to see or hear some- thing that was not right, but it seemed as if every person vied with the other in making all happy and I believe there were about 900 persons aboard. We wish to say that the Palladium is a friend to we K. of P., while of all my mother's children I love myself the best, but I like them all, U. B. F. and 8. M. T.; A, U. K. and D. of A.; but I like the Pythians also. OF THE ' ow The Democratic Negro, Mr. Houser, has left the city work and has a much better position. He is working for Mr. Street and Walker. We trust that the Negro men will re- member. that they should not display themselves in their rooms in a nude condition. Lawton avenue has been respected so far and if this disregard for decency is continued we will in- form the authority. The time is now at hand that the honest Negro should root out from among us these men and women who are lving in open adultery. If men and women continue in this style then there is no hope for the race. K. of P. met at Fayette and Dame Rumor says that Dr. Daniel William Scott was again defeated for Supreme Representative. "Tis hard! Oh! Dan- fel, that is indeed dreadfully hard. ‘The Palladium is not a sectarian pa- per, but I will wager the life of a Christian gentleman against any Bap- tist, Methodist or Presbyterian that the Palladium takes a higher stand in the moral world than most of them do. ‘A hint to the wise is sufficient. We have more than 1,000 subserib- ers that are the best in St. Louis. Many of them pay when we go to col- lect on time; then we have about sixty or more that subscribe for the Pal- ladium with no intention of paying for it. They are the Devil's own chil- dren. We have about 110 advertisers that are good, but some leave the city and some have dancing schools that are regular deadbeats and ought to be in jail. Prof. Arthur Johnson has made ap- plication to the deadbeat soctety. President Reese Evans and Secretary Abraham Lincoln Lee have asked him can he get the Palladium man to sign his application?

Wood, representative of the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co., left New York city July 8, 1907, for St. Louis, Mo., arriving on the 10th, and immediately secured office room in the Douglass building, 2645 Lawton avenue, and began to transact busi- ness for the company. He found the people ready and willing to consider the superior advantages offered by the Metropolitant Mercantile & Realty Co. He is a native of Lunenburg county, Virginia. About fourteen years ago he found his way to New York, and la- bored for the small sum of $5 per month on a farm at Somerstown. After his record was made with his employ- er, he secured another position with Judge Hyatt, an inhabitant of the same town, at $8 per month, with a raise to $15 the following summer. He remained at his post for five years, at* which time he had placed to his credit in the bank $150, During all these years he was faithful to his rel- atives, always remembering them financially. Young Wood began to realize that without an education he could accom. plish very little, and with a strong determination set ont to acquire that which he was greatly in need of—an education. He secured a position with Lawyer Turk of New York, ané began attending night school regularly. Dur- ing his struggles Wood found trrenas in the persons of Messrs. P. Sheridan Ball, president of the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co. and Treas- urer John H. Atkins of the same com- pany. It was through their assistance that he was enabled to enter the Vir- ginia Union University, where he progressed wonderfully. His training through, he returned to New York, and was engaged by the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co., which recognizes in him one of its best representatives, who is successful at all times. Such leading men as Drs. W. D. Cook, D. Ds pastor of the St. Paul A. M. E. church; Geo. E. Stevens, D. D., pastor of Central Baptist church, and J.B. Colbert, D. D., P. B. of A. M. E. Zion church, offered him much encour- agement. He has strong indorsements from such representative characters in person of Drs. W. H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church, and M. W. Gilbert, D. D., pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist church, New York city. He was a very successful repre- sentative of the company in the east,, and since he has been working with the company he has succeeded admira- bly, having sold about $80,000 worth of stocks and bonds in the past few years and sold $40,000 of real estate in the city of Mt. Vernon, N. Y. He is now putting forth every effort that is in his power to interest the people in the state of Missouri, of which he is state agent. He will make St. Louis headquarters of the state, and has plans on foot now for a series of mass meetings, at which time Mr. P. S, Ball, the president of the com- pany, will be present and address the meetings; also other prominent men of St. Louis will deliver addresses. Mr. Wood is a trustee of one of the largest churches of New York (Mt. Olivet Baptist church), of which Dr. M. W. Gilbert is pastor. He is a mem- ber of the Masonic Order and vice treasurer of the Local Negro Business League of New York, and indeed takes an active part in all Christian work. His mission here will be of only a short stay. After arranging and per- fecting plans for the establishment of the business of the company in the larger cities throughout the state of Missouri he will return east to resume hig work. Dr. J. B. Colbert has accepted the agency for the state of Missouri, and will be glad to confer with any one interested at his office, 2129 Pine ee Prof. J.

Missouri State Fair Missouri State Fair The Missouri state fair will hold its seventh annual exhibition October 5 to 11, inclusive, at Sedalia. Extended classifications of live stock, increased premiums and additional conveniences for exhibitors will assure an unsurpassed exhibit in every department. Two new cattle barns with a capacity of 300 animals; a mule and jack barn sufficient for 150 animals, provided for by an appropriation made by the Forty-fourth general assembly, will be completed and ready for occupancy by the opening of the fair. The general assembly also appropriated $5,000 for the construction of a sample of permanent roadway on the fair grounds. This will be constructed on the main boulevard in front of the principal buildings under the supervision of the United States department of public roads, and will be open for inspection of state fair visitors. Tuesday, October 8, will be governors' day. Many prominent men of this and adjacent states will be present. The directors and officers of the state airs of Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois and Kansas, and the managers of the Chicago fat stock show, and the American Royal have been invited to attend. The great live stock pavilion, comfortably seating from twelve to fifteen thousand, will be handsomely decorated, and one of the best bands in the state will furnish music. Gov. Folk will deliver an address. A battalion of the national guard will serve as his escort, and the day will be memorable in the history of the state fair. Special Attractions. The highest class special attractions offered to the public have been engaged for the state fair. These will entertain visitors in front of the grand stand between racing heats, and in the live stock pavilion, when weather conditions make it necessary, or the circumstances may require. The board of directors has engaged one of the best airships in the United States, which, under charge of one of the most successful and intrepid arenauts, will make ascensions each day, when weather conditions will permit. The airship is manageable at any time when velocity of the wind does not exceed 12 miles per hour, and will be circled and driven in any direction. Special classes have been opened for Missouri sheep with a view of stimulating a large exhibit by Missouri flockmasters, and to encourage sheep breeding in the state. Missouri breeders may enter both in the open classes and in Missouri specials, thus having two opportunities to honors and premiums where they had only one heretofore. Special poultry classes, emracing all standard and most valuable breeds of shickens, turkeys, gees and ducks most generally bred in Missouri, have been made and are open to Missouri breeders only. Missouri breeders may also exhibit in the classes open to the world. Boys' Corn Contest. Premiums aggregating $160 are offered for the best corn grown by young men over 15 years and under 20 years, and by boys under 15 years. Prizes will be offered on similar classes by the Agricultural college and by the board of agriculture, to be awarded at the winter corn show to be held in Columbia, and the same corn exhibited at the state fair may be shown at Columbia. Boys should remember that each exhibit should be entered with the secretary of the state fair and recorded on state fair entry books on or before Friday, October 4, 6 o'clock p. m. Stakes and purses on harness events have been largely increased and with a superb mile track, prompt payments of winnings and under the liberal and courteous treatment of Superintendent Dingle, the management expects large fields of horses with phenomenal speed. Entry of Exhibits. All entries must be made in the name of the owner of the animal or article, no entry fee will be charged except in speed department. Entries on live stock will close at noon September 28, in speed department, running races at 4 p. m. the day before the races are called.

I had expected something pretty good, because I have considerable faith in your agents, whom I happen to know; but what I saw is far beyond my expectation.

WOMEN W Health Is the First Essen Woman MISS HULDA KUGHLER There is a beauty and attractiveness in health which is far greater than mere regularity of feature. A sickly, irritable, and complaining woman always carries a cloud of depression with her; she is not only unhappy herself but is a damper to all joy and happiness when with her family and friends. It is the bright, healthy, vivacious woman who always charms and carries sunshine wherever she goes. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging and that everything tires her; if her feminine system fails to perform its allotted duties, there is nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness, backache, headache, bearing-down pains, and irregularities, causing constant misery and melancholia, she should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs will dispel all these troubles. By correcting the cause of the trouble it cures where other treatment may have failed. Miss Elizabeth Wynn, of No. 205 6th Avenue, New York City, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "For months I suffered with dreadful headaches, pain in the back and severe hemorrhages. I was weak and out of sorts all the time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound helped me when all other medicine had failed.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. After the commandments had been given by God through Moses and the covenant assented to by the people, Moses again went up into the mount to obtain the commandments in more permanent form, written on tablets of stone, and to receive further instructions; and also to be prepared by his intimate communion with God for his long and difficult work of forming the people into a nation that could dwell in the promised land. Every quality of mind and of spirit was to be taxed to the utmost. Every minister, every teacher, every believer needs, says Joseph Parker, "periods of solitude and communing with God; away from the fray, the battle, the race, but receiving nourishment, nutriment, inspiration, comfort, and even words by which to express the divine thought. And, coming back from the mountain of contemplation, he touches life with a steadier hand, and does his duty with a compiler obedience and more radiant cheerfulness." V. I. "Saw that Moses delayed." He was gone 40 days (Ex. 25:18), almost seven weeks, if the week with the leaders in the lower parts of the mountain is to be added (Ex. 24:9,16). The absence of Moses was a time of testing both the leaders and the people. They had just taken the oath of allegiance to God, and unanimously promised to obey him. V. I. "Up, make us gods," or a god, "which shall go before us," and be our leader. They could not see God, and they wanted some visible expression of God. They had several manifestations of God—the pillar of cloud and fire, the glory on the mountain, and the daily manna; but even these became so common that they did not make them realize the presence of God. They had just come from the land of idols, heathen gods everywhere. All these gods could be seen The attractions of idolatry were of no mean power. They were familiar with the way in which the idols of the heathen were worshiped, with feasting and rioting, and unrestrained licentiousness, in marked contrast with the purity and self-control required by Jehovah. V. 5. "And when Aaron saw it (this)." Saw in what light the people viewed the image. "He built an altar before it . . . and said, to-morrow is a feast to the Lord." God was still to be worshiped, but under the form of a calf. Probably Aaron thought he was very shrewd in thus saving for God what he could of honor and reverence. So Jehovah boasted of his zeal for the Lord of hosts while he was worshiping the golden calves of Jeroboam (2 Kings 10:16, 29). V. 7. "The Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down." Moses in the thick cloud which covered the top of Sinai could not see or hear what was going on below. But it was no time for him to remain apart, even in communion with God; there was work to do below, which his mountain-top experience fitted him to do. So the three disciples who viewed the Transfiguration weer not allowed to remain on the Mount, but were sent down to their daily work where the others were in vain trying to cure a demon-controlled boy. To test him, God offered to destroy the nation and make Moses the second Abraham of a new and greater people. Moses stood the test, rejected the tempting offer, and urged upon God three pleas for mercy. Moses hastened down the mountainside, with Joshua, who had been waiting for him. Soon they came in sight of the abominable idol, and the frenzied worshipers dancing, half naked, around it. Probably there was a power not only in his soul, but in his appearance,—some gleams of that glory described in Ex. 34:35. The breaking of the tables of the covenant was enough to cause the stoutest heart to fear. Moses then burned the golden calf and ground it to powder. "It is almost impossible to pulverize pure gold, but the act was made easily possible, probably, by alloys present in the jewelry from which the idol had been made." —Patterson Du Bols. Then Moses put the question, "Who is on the Lord's side?" Who will stand for the right, whatever their past mistakes, whoever else may refuse? Practical Points. The consequences of loving anything more than we love God are deadly. The character deteriorates; the conscience destroys peace; the allurements and attractions fade into horrors; plagues come; we fail of God's guidance; the idol is destroyed and nothing takes its place. "The soul is like a curious chamber with elastic walls, which can be exiled, with God as its guest, illimitably, but which, without God, shrinks and shrivels until every vestige of the globe is gone."—Henry Drummond in Natural Law. CROP CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA CROP CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA Lateness of Spring Overcome by Excellent Growing Summer Season. Once more the farmers of Western Canada rest at ease and grow rich while they slumber. Their season of anxiety is over. For a time it looked as though a backward season was for once going to prevent the western country from maintaining its preeminent position as leader of the grain growing countries of the world. The unusual lateness of the spring coupled with the rapid advance in the price of food-stuffs gave the pessimists some reason for their gloomy forebodings, and among even the optimistic Westerners imbued as they usually are with a spirit of buoyancy and hope, there commenced to glimmer a fear that perhaps this year their sanguine expectations were not to be realized. On May day when a large proportion of wheat had usually been sown there was this year very little seeding done. Finally, however, winter which had tarried so late in the lap of spring in all parts of the Continent vanished before the vertical rays of the sun, and the hurry and bustle of spring work commenced on the western prairies. By the 20th of May 55% of the spring wheat was sown and the fall wheat in the districts devoted to its cultivation was covering the fields with a mantle of green. Wheat sowing finished on May 30 and by June 10 the coarser grains were also in the ground. The heavy snowfall during the winter left the ground in excellent shape when once seeding operations commenced and from the time weather conditions permitted the commencement of work until planting was completed, the farmers were a busy class. The area in wheat is not much larger than last year, but oats, barley and flax are much in excess of past records, the farmers deeming it wiser on account of the lateness of the season to put in a heavier proportion of the coarser grains. From the most reliable reports to hand it appears that the acreage as compared with 1906 will show an increase of 12% in oats, 19% in barley and 13% in flax. Around Akotoks, High River, Nanton, Claresholm and other winter wheat centers, if the present weather conditions continue, the winter wheat will be in head by the middle of July. The backward weather in the early part of May allowed the newly sown grain to get a firm root in the ground, and now with an abundance of moisture and warm weather the growth is remarkable. All danger of injury from droughts is practically over as the green crop covers the ground retaining the moisture required for its growth and preventing the too rapid evaporation which might otherwise take place. Crops in Western Canada mature in one hundred days of good weather, and as the weather conditions have been ideal since seeding, and with spring wheat now from 14 to 18 inches above the ground, a full average crop is confidently expected. In addition to the cheering prospects of this year's yield the farmers are to be congratulated on the fact that they still have in their possession five million bushels of wheat from last year's crop which they are now disposing of at high prices. The splendid yield of 90,000,000 bushels of wheat raised in 1906 in the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, together with the almost certain assurance that this year will see a considerable increase, is, as in the past, calling the attention of the world of the "Last Best West," and thousands from the United States and the agricultural districts of Europe are each month securing free grant lands or purchasing farms in the land which has proved itself peerless among the grain growing countries of the world. His Finger Imprints. Of Count Julius Andrassy, whose monument was recently unveiled at Buda-Pesth, the Neue Presse gives the following incident: Count Andrassy had a habit of smoothing with his hand his richly oiled hair. One day an important document had passed the Austrian council of ministers, in the contents of which Count Andrassy was interested. Shortly afterward the Austrian president of the ministry said to one of the ministers: "Count Andrassy has read the latest document." "How do you know?" "I find on it the imprint of Count Addrassy's fingers," responded the president with a laugh. People Tell Each Other About Good Things.

The typical color of the aurochs was black, but there was a gray variety in Poland and a red one in Germany. AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA. Covered with Yellow Sores—Grew Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cuticura Drove Sores Away. "Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it. We took her to three doctors but by this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eyesight was gone. We were nearly discouraged, but I thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improvement, and in one week all sores had disappeared. Of course it could not restore the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co., N.

The annual sermon of the A. U. K. and D of A. was a grand affair. Rev. B. W. Stewart preached an able sermon. Many St. Louis members were out. Mrs. Mary Buckner, Mrs. Martha Pride, Mrs. Ada Harris, Grand Master W. H. Fields and some of the juveniles. Mrs. Josephine Brown was at her best and had things in hand. The Palladium-man was present. The J. W. Wheeler juvenile was out in numbers and a copy of the Palladium was given to each member. We anticipate that the order will prosper in Bellville. We had the pleasure of meeting the mother of Mrs. Josephine Brown. She is 72 years of age and as spry as a woman of 30 years. Grand Master Fields introduced the several M. E. L's of St. Louis, who spoke well and every one enjoyed their speeches. We then repaired to the residence of Sister Brown and partook of a sumptuous repast. NOTICE TO RICE LODGE NO. 101, U. B. F.
