The e are a good many tools who go for scribble people who call us tool out if they have any financial business in the way of making us treasur or we are. They will soon find o ut how foolish we are. When we began this paper women talked, men lied, and we hustled and today we are the whole cheese in face we are the whole show. As a 'motto', you should he'd not tread on us. Brother Dick racn is simply telling lies and his purpose is to raise a few dollars to slop over in some eastern saloon. There is not the remotest truth in what he says he is an abs lute "stinker" and soundrel. Just such fellows of the low order have made it almost impossible for a decent and respectable citizen to live in this country. Go back and sit down houseli. The editor or this paper likes Dan Anthony Jr. as a man but when we see defeat in his face, and the war he has waged on Mr. Curtis it seems almost impossible for a member of our tract to give him a vote he be a delegate in the coming Congressional Convention, we can't see how the colored delegates of any of the counties of Mr. Curtis district can attend to vote to Anthony fo. "fun." we can re-nominate Curtis and its impossible for Anthony, and the other candidates are strangers to our people and all they want is your vote if you are a delegate and they would not help you if they could impact they would not even answer your letter in case of liquor.

"The South is the negro's best friend" said Mr. Dickerson. "It is all a mistake to believe that they want to hang us and burn us off the face of the earth. They hang and burn white men too. There is less inborn apathy o the negro in the South than there is in the North: "I am sorry that President Roosevelt invited Booker 4. Washington to dine with him and I am still more sorry that Professor Washington accepted the invitation, although he is a very good friend unto me, and I share his views on most things. That incident stirred up a great commotion in the South. The wails don't think we are as good as they are until we have climbed the same ladder that they have climbed. "That may be half a century or it may be a century and in the meantime the negro should be content to take a back seat. I am a Republican but I am free to confess that the republican, pollicians in the South have done us a great deal of harm in their attempts to befriend us. They have encouraged the more ignorant negroes to familiarities and presumptions that have enraged the white people. I am in favor of Jim Crow cars, and waiting rooms. We should be as inconspicuous as possible until we learn enough to be conspicuous. Mr Dickerson is here to raise $20,000 for his paper and for an orphanage which he intends to establish for homel as negro children. When he has canvassed Philadelphia and New York he will go to London. He is armed with credentials from the government of Virginia, the mayor of Norfolk, Bishop Randolph, Judge T S. Garnett and other prominent Southerners. Ex The "pride of Krusas' D. Mulvane, our national committeeman from this state is more than certain to be returned to his post when the time comes. It is fun for his opponents to lay in ambush to defeat him. D. Mulvane can get what he wants a man who is true his friends, his home, and his country cannot be turned down by a hostile gang of "political shysters" who simply want to do it. The "M" Millinery Co.

THE STATE LEDGER Of course King Edward admires American typewriters. We all do. If Mexico has any more men like Diaz it should begin to economize on them. Mark Twain has gone to Europe, but luckily he isn't compelled to go for money this time. If a man is jealous of a girl, and can't make her jealous of him, he had better get another girl. And Senator Stewart has joined Senator Platt in ignoring the wise counsel of the elder Weller. There is no presidential election in Haiti, but there is a revolution on, which is much the same thing. Mme. Rejane, the French actress, has secured a divorce. The finishing touch has now been applied to her art. The statement that the blankets in a sleeping car are changed once in six months seems to explain everything. One of the freaks of the prosperity wave is found in the announcement by a Kansas editor that he has money to loan. It is said that short ribs are in a corner, which is better, according to the health experts, than to have them in a corset. Russia and Japan should hesitate a long time before to war. They are a long way from the Chicago stockyards. The astronomers say that each of the sun spots is as big as the earth. Does that make you realize how insignificant you are? The Italian government finds that it has a surplus of $13,000,000 on hand. Italy's graffers must be new and inexperienced hands. The New York man who gave away a million dollars on his deathbed robbed the lawyers of a fine chance to have fun with his will. It probably is inaccurate to say that Russia has changed her mind about evacuating Mancheuria. She has merely changed her statement.

Wait and Hope ought to make both a cheerful and promising combination. Dr. Manuel Amador is the minister of finance in the new Isthmian Republic. Up to the present time he has been busy hunting for finances to minister. The planet Venus is said to be particularly beautiful now, from 2:30 a.m. till dawn. Perhaps you noticed it on your way home after getting the election returns. The gluemakers back East have struck and swear by all the gods of honest but odorous labor that they will stick together until Gabriel blows Hiawatha on his trumpet. Peary has made the remark that an Arctic expedition costs about as much as a cup challenger. And Sir Thomas might add that the results of the two enterprises are about the same. Just because more than 90 per cent of the men in "Who's Who" are married, it does not necessarily follow that a man who gets married has 90 per cent more chances of becoming a who. One advantage by the young wife of a nonagenarian is that in time of need she can usually turn to the older and more experienced of her husband's grandchildren for guidance and wise counsel. A San Francisco man has sued for divorce because the spirits told him his wife had ceased to love him. Doubtless there are many men who will wait anxiously to hear whether he gets it or not. The king of Greece has been appointed an honorary admiral of the British fleet. Will not some other great naval power make the too long overlooked president of the high-up republic of Switzerland an admiral, too? The book collector in London who has just paid $3,000 for a copy of early poems by Shelley and his sister might have printed a whole new edition of the book for considerably less than one-tenth of that amount of money. The new Chinese minister seems to have the lamented Wu's childlike and bland sense of humor. Said he in a recent after-dinner speech: "in fifteen or twenty years our women will cease compressing their feet and will compress their waists instead." As another "step toward higher civilization" let us commend the regret expressed by Dr. Mazyck P. Ravenel of Philadelphia at the "disinclination of federal and state authorities" to permit condemned criminals to be used in germ culture experiments. A MOTHER'S WELCOME. There will be no blare of trumpets, No sound of martial drums; There will be no shout of triumph That be him on the conflict comes. There will be no grit ovation, No bands to play their part. But there will be sweetest music In his dear old mother's heart. There will not be miles of bunting Over our dwellings decked with care, And no squids and roman candles Will fill with their light the air. There will be no long procession, For our citizens to scan. But mother will bid him welcome As only a mother can. There will be no demonstration From those who stood not up In the ranks of death and danger And drank war's awful cup. There will be no battlewagging, For guns their sound will cease When mother welcomes to her breast Her only son in peace. A BY AUSTIN ARNOLD McCAUSLAND Copyrighted, 2003, by The Authors Publishing Company Though a traveling man, and soliciting for a house that sent him constantly on the road, Clyde Evans had get the temerity to become engaged to be married. The selvage edge to this interesting situation had been put on by letter, and now, preparatory to giving the usual expression of this to the hand of his fiancée, he was in Mermod and Jaccard's, fingering over diamond rings. His fancy was hovering over a splendid solitaire, uniquely set, which he took up and stood turning back and forth in enjoyment of its perfection. "Yes, it shall be this or nothing," he was saying over to himself, and so full of it was he that he instinctively looked around to find a sharer in his pleasure, other than the salesman. The person nearest him was a richly dressed woman, young and delicately beautiful. She was bending with apparent interest over a tray of jewels which a clerk held for her inspection. She was one of too exclusive an order to ask of her a chance notice, and giving himself an inward smile over the boyishness of his feelings, he went on to complete his own purchase. And, too, it was near the time of departure for the train on which he wished to leave St. Louis, in order to be in Kansas City, with "my lady fair" on the morrow. This he explained as the reason for not waiting to have the ring sent up and wrapped, and paying across the counter he snapped to the box, bestowed it in the breast pocket of his vest, and hurried away. As it was, he missed his train, and was forced to wait an hour for another, and this on a route the other side of the river. This would have wrought him small inconvenience but that he found the later train to be crowded, with no unoccupied berth in the sleeper. In a coach forward he was preparing to content himself with what amplitude a double seat offered for the taking of a recumbent posture, had bestowed his grip and hat in the rack, and was about to seat himself when a low and very musical voice faced him around with: "There is no other seat than this." A woman, tall, shapely, faultlessly gowned, stood with a hand on the back of one of the faced seats. In a breath Evans took in the fact of the graceful presence, the charming refinement of her, and noted with an inward chuckle that she had elected for a close associate from amongst the lower orders, not the usual woolly, nub-snosed, or spraffle-legged dog, but, she had instead a beautiful carrier pigeon perched upon her right wrist. As he did not speak at once, she said, timidly: "I hope I do not inconvenience you; but the train is full." Aroused to a full sense of the whole duty of man, Evans hastened to assure her that masculine salvation hung upon the giving way before her, and such as she. So great was his solicitude that he forgot to turn the seat, and when finally settled the two sat facing each H. "Yes, it shall be this, or nothing," other, an attitude provocative of good fellowship. "I will not inconvenience you long," she volunteered, pleasantly. "I do not go farther than midnight, or a little later will take me." "Led captive for the time by the subtle charm of beauty, and womanly appeal in manner, Evans cavalryly put himself at his best, and made a flow of bright, enjoyable talk without effort. It was not until near to midnight that, on noticing a droop of his companion's eyelids, he solicitously proffered to extemporize pillows with his grip and coat and insisted that she sleep. She accepted this caretaking with the same care and delicacy which had marked her behavior all along, and was soon forgetful of all 4 things in a repose deep enough to draw over her lovely face the mask of statuesque immobility given by deep sleep. All other occupants of the coach were likewise sleeping, in every variety of relaxed attitude, and Evans, making a pillow for himself by clasping his hands behind his head, settled back, and followed on into the realm of slumber. The last thing to impress itself upon his optic nerves as his lids went down was the pigeon squatted, a knot of sheeny grey, on a very white hand, asleep also, with head under wing. When again he opened his eyes it was the bird of which he was first A beautiful carrier pigeon perched upon her right wrist. conscious. He had slept, perhaps, about an hour, and heavily. When he awoke, the train was slowing up for Moberly, and the lady opposite sat erect in her seat. It was evidently her intention to leave the train here, but she was busy about releasing a chair, which was a mere thread of gold, from around the leg of the bird. Evans did not at once let her see that he was awake, but watched through half-shut iids, curious, and not without a premontory chill upon his nerves. The bird being freed he saw it was her intention to release it through the window, and instantly, from one of those flashes of intelligence which seem to come from some external source, he hurriedly thrust his hand into his waistcoast pocket. The ring was gone! Again, as from some outside source, he knew this to be the woman he had turned towards in Jaccard's, with the diamond in hand. Indeed, he now recognized this perfect profile as the very same, and while this lightning conviction was flashing through his mind, he acted. He put out one hand to stay the flight of the pigeon, and firmly gripping her wrist with the other he said, in a low, even voice: "Give it back, please!" His manner was that of a man offering a courtesy, and while he held himself in check as to tone, there was no room left for her to misunderstand. Without the slightest attempt at evasion, or self-explanation, the lady, for such only could she be considered, raised to him those innocent calm, and trusting eyes, and said, smoothly. "When you are ready to release the dove, do so. He knows his way. This is the end of my journey. Goodnight—and thank you very much for your kindness." Then the watery swish-swish of silken raiment ran quickly adown the aisle, and Evans saak back upon the seat conscience-striken. "Scotland-a-burning! what an ass I have made of myself!" So sure of this was he that he thrust his fingers in his pocket expecting to find the ring there. No! Then the pigeon, whose feet he was gripping in one hand, gave a hoarse "gr-o-a-t," stretching and quivering its wings at full spread. Under one wing flashed the diamond! Attached by a fine silver wire, it hung pendant, but secure. Bewildered by this uncanny combination of eyes that looked innocence, voice of a paradise dweller, and the ring so artfully concealed, Evans was half inclined to send off the bird without reclaiming it. Notions about suggestion, absent influences bent upon people to provoke irresponsible acts, etc., ran through his mind. Finally, when he did throw off the bird, after taking back his ring, it carried under its wing a tiny written scroll which said: "I know there is some explanation. You have my regard; and a real Dios." Cost of Census. The census of 1900, cost $11.854.51? FIRE IN A MINE KANSAS CITY BRICK COMPANY'S SHALE DEPOSIT THREATENED. SEVENTEEN MINERS ARE OVERCOME Dragged From Smoke-Clouded Shaft by Comrades—Chief Trickett and Kansas City Firemen Aided Miners in Their All Day and All Night Battle. KANSAS CITY, MO.—(Special!) Fire of a mysterious origin in the shale mine of the Kansas City Hydrolic Press Brick Company, at diamond station, six miles southeast of here, baffled the efforts of the mine employees all day and all night Sunday. It was still burning early Monday morning, although Chief Trickett and three members of the Kansas City fire department arrived during the day to lend their aid. Eight men were overcome at one time in the depths of the mine shaft. They were dragged to open air in time to prevent suffocation only by the heroic efforts of their comrades. Other men went down through the smoke to fight the fire from time to time. They would stagger up and fall in a dead faint on the brick paving outside. There they would lay and writhe until their lungs cleared. Yet these same men would go to the company's office, swallow two or three pellets of "dope," and with eyes brightened to a ghastly glitter by the narcotic, return to the danger and make another trip into the smoke that choked the shafts. At 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon three laborers, who had been stationed at the powder house, about 600 yards, underground, from the incline which leads to the surface, were forced to desert their charge and make a break for the main shaft on account of gases from a dynamite explosion that had been used to cave in the walls of an adjoining shaft, to block the fire. As they rushed along the corridors of the mine they entreated others to follow them, but the men stuck bravely to the mine and worked as though fighting fire was a pastime. When these three laborers reached the foot of the incline they halted for a second to view the ruin that lay behind them, and this halt was their undoing. One after the other started up the steep grade to the open air, but, in like order, they were overcome by the thick, dense smoke and fell in the muddy mule path. As the last man fell, comrades at the opening of the loaded shift, saw the glimmer of the lamp on his cap and in an instant a dozen men, disregarding the orders of the superintendent and forgetting the smell of death-bearing gas, caused by the explosion, rushed down the shaft to their rescue. The others, who remained down in the mine, five in number, finally seeing that their efforts to stop the havoc were fruitless, started to follow, but when they came within 100 feet of that slippery, muddy shaft they found that all means of escape had been cut off by the flames. Fully awakened to the peril of their position, they hesitated for an instant and then retreated as fast as was possible. It was over a mile to the only other outlet from their death-cave to the sir shaft. They did not realize until they got to the air shaft that the hole was not straight to the surface and that possibly they could not be heard by the men overhead and might be forced to stand there and meet death. But the men on the surface reckoned on all this, and by means of a rope several stalwart fellows had been lowered to the first balcony of the air shaft to await their arrival. It was but a few yards to the second and lower shaft, and the five men were soon hoisted to the surface, but not until they had all become unconscious from the effects of the smoke. All day long, without a stop for lunch, Dr. C. L. Spaulding worked with the miners and firemen, and it seemed as though as soon as a man was sufficiently recovered to stand on his feet he was back at his post. All but the eight men who were hoisted from the mine by means of ropes stayed at the scene of the fire, while the others were removed to nearby miner's cabins, where they received care from miners' wives. These men were fighting for more than the salvation of the company's property. Not more than twenty-feet above the fire lay the tracks of the Ottawa division of the Missouri Pacific railway. Every now and then a train whizzed over the rails. The men in the shaft heard the rumble and worked the harder, for if the cordwood that was burning above them gave way it meant that the roof of the mine would cave in and carry with it the tracks of the railway. In Boiler Explosion LAPORTE. IND. — (Special.) A boiler running a cushionhunter on the farm of Thomas Cole, at the Lake Erie railroad crossing of the Kankakee railroad, exploded with great force, Saturday, and instantly killed Thomas Cole, whose head was blown off, fatally injured his son, Harlod and George Bowen, the engineer. Another son of Thomas Cole may die. Thomas Colli was lifted 100 feet into the air, and his boots were blown off, but he was not badly hurt. Two horses were killed. Dr. Dowie's Latest CHICAGO.—(Special.) "I have just received an offer of 4,000,000 acres of land on which to build another Zion City, but the site must be kept secret at present," said John Alexander Dowie, speaking to his followers in Shiloh tbernacle, Zion City, Sunday. "What is more," Dowie continued, I have an offer of 10,000 acres of land within thirty-five miles of New York city for the same purpose. That does not look as if our New York trip failed, does it?" MASSACRE BY MOROS. Three United States Soldiers Killed and One Wounded. MANILA.—(Special.) Since the departure of Major General Wood for Jolo, the Moros in the neighborhood of Lake Lano have become very ugly and menacing. At L o clock Saturday the guard over a boat near Mariabou was taken. Three men bers of the Twenty-eighth infantry were killed and one was seriously wounded. The Moros were beaten off. The soldiers killed were: Sergeant J. G. Stephens, of Omaha, Neb. * Private Frank Bowser, of Marlon, Ohio. Private Elmer H. Burke, of Kansas City. Private Fernando Kerthley, of Verona, Mo. was wounded. General Wood, who left for Jolo, November 9, took a number of troops from Lianao with him, leaving Captain Henry A. Barber, of the Twenty-eighth Infantry, in command. Cable communication with Jolo is interrupted. WRONGED HUSBAND'S CRIME. Cuts Throat of Man He Found Talk-in to his Wife. BRADDOCK, PA.—(Special.) Believing that his wife was unduly intimate with John Beardsley, William F. Peaseley Sunday evening went to the railroad station and found his wife and Beardsley in conversation on the platform. Without a word to either, Peaseley stepped up to the couple and cut Beardsley's throat. The latter, evidently expecting trouble, had armed himself with a revolver, which he attempted to use, but fell before he could fire and did within a few minutes. Peaseley gave himself up and admitted the cutting, saying he loved his wife and could not endure the thought that any other man shared her affections. Five Degrees Below Zero Five Degrees Below Zero. LEWISTOWN. MONT.—(Special.) Over twelve inches of snow have fallen on the level in Fergus county, and, under the heavy winds of the past three days, has played havoc with mountain passes, filling conyons with snow. The Great Falls stage is stuck in the snow somewhere between Lewistown and Phill's Rock. Lewistown has had no train since Friday and two engines are now cabdeep in drifts within a few miles of Lewistown. It is feared that heavy losses to stock will result if a warm spell is not speedily forthcoming. Gets Proposal From Wife. GREENSBURG, PA.—(Special). H. A. Rodgers of Weaver's Old Stand, had a hearing before Justice of the Peace B. F. Beatty Saturday morning on a charge of surrety of the peace, received by his wife.

Thereupon he also made application for membership in the organization and after months of correspondence received a proposal of marriage from his wife. To Sue for $20,000,000. LONDON.—(Special.) The Daily Mail's St. Petersburg correspondent says that the two counts Muenich, descendants of the Russian field marshal, are about to claim $20,000,000 from the Prussian government, the value of the estate, with interest, which Frederick the Great presented to the field marshal in 1741 for the latter's assistance in arranging a favorable treaty with Russia. It is said that the proofs of the claim are indisputable and that the trial will cause a sensation. Rapid Transit In Cuba. HAVANA.—(Special). A new era in rapid transit was inaugurated here Sunday in the departure of the first Cuban Railroad Company's daily through train from Havana to Santiago. The train is scheduled to reach Santiago in twenty-four hours. The route is over the Havana United, the Cardenas & Jucaro and the Cuban Central railway to Santa Clara, and thence over the Cuba railroad. Heretofore the journey has taken threedays, including stopovers at night. Frick Would Be Senator. PITTSBURG, PA.—(Special.) The Leader, an afternoon paper, states that Henry Clay Frick will be the candidate for United States senator from Pennsylvania, if Senator Quay retires, as promised. It is further alleged that Henry W. Oliver will retire from the race in his favor. Mr. Frick's first entree in politics was last spring, when he was a member of the Republican finance committee.

One of the quaintest little relies from a bygone time is a tiny shoe made about the year 1765. It is eloquent, in its old-age babyhood, of the rude if substantial customs of our foremothers and those who helped them take care of the babies in the latter part of the 18th century. This little baby shear was one of four. In the town of Falmouth, Me, now Westbrook, in a home which is still intact, there were born girl twins. The Goddard family, to which the sunshine thus came, were well liked in the vicinity, and the old shoemaker, "Old Houston," as he was affectionately called, appeared one morning soon after it became evident that the twin girls were here to stay, bearing upon his right palm four tiny shoes. They were a gift for the twins, and were thankfully accepted. It is interesting enough to chronicle right here that both twins lived to a good old Infant's Shoe, 140 Years Old. age, one marrying John Collins, about 1785, and the other a Page, all Maine people. A bit of romantic folk story comes down with the family, and incidentally may prove interesting to readers in general. The father of John Coillins, husband of Hannah, moved from Ware, N. H., to South Durham, Me, in an ox team, which young John, then 15 years old, drove. The father carried by this slow, rude way his small wealth, consisting of 1,700 Spanish milled dollars. The little shoe is substantially made. It must needs have been, to have lasted 149 odd years. It is a turn shoe, and the care necessary to turn so small an article of handwork can only be conceived by old shoemakers, for the little thing is only three and three-quarter inches long and one and three-eighths inches wide in the widest part of the sole, the little heel, with its single lift being stitched like the rest of the shoe, but reinforced with two tiny pegs set through the back of the sole, but not through the heel lift. It is fashioned with little straps, each having an infinitesimal button-hole, probably arranged to draw up with a string, as there is a staple slot cut through the instep. The small toe is somewhat stubbed and is cracked, partly, it would seem, as a result of being worn thin. The sole itself shows the polish of wear. Not the least interesting is the wad of cloth used as stuffing to keep the shoe in shape. This is a strip of old velveteen of very small checked pattern in dark buff and brown. This the family cherish as a part of grandfather Collins' best breeches.—Lynn Item. Old New England Catholic Church. The second Catholic church in New England was erected on Maine soil. It still stands at Damariscotta Mills, old St. Patrick's church, built of stone and surmounted by a square tower. It was erected in 1808, and so is only five years younger than the oldest Catholic church in New England. The Catholic church at Whitefield is only a few years younger, and was in existence for years before there was a Catholic church in Portland or any other city of the state. Ten Head of Cattle Killed. Sam Flint of Claremont, N. H., recently lost ten head of cattle by their being struck by an express train. It seems that the four cows and six calves got on the track from their pasture and were walking down the track, when the train came along and struck them, throwing the ten down the embankment, where they were afterward found, badly broken up and dead. Made Wonderful Engine. A. G. Root of Danbury, Conn., has made the smallest engine in the world. It is complete in every detail, although sufficiently small to rest on a tenement piece. The fly wheel is only seven-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, and the main shaft measures but five-sixteenths of an inch. In Australia there is a bird, called the dicaeum, which keeps its young in a pocketbook woven from the down of the seeds of certain plants. No one knows better than it does the joys that come of a well filled purse. New England Industries. New England still retains her preeminence in the boot and shoe industry, but three of her six states, including Maine, rank lower in the comparative value of their product than they did twenty years ago, while of the others only Vermont has made a rain in comparative rank.

An Old-Time Legend When King Edward II of England was among his torturers who hurried him to and fro that no man should know where he was they set him down upon a bank and the more to dishearse his face shaved him and washed him with cold water from a ditch. The king said, "Well, yet will I have warm water for my beard," and so slewed abundance of tears. Woman's Best Characteristics. The readers of one of the French newspapers were set to enumerate the qualities which their ideal woman should possess. Placed, as they say in examinations, "in order of merit; these characteristics are, first, economy; second, fidelity and modesty; third, kindliness; fourth, material love; fifth, cleanliness and patience.

Pat Turns the Tables A man who boasts that "he knows a glass of wine" invited a few friends to dinner. In the midst of the meal his Irish servant brought up a very old-looking bottle of wine.

What should be understood in comparison to the imitation of comparative value between vaseline* and the imitations, but that the imitations do not effect the wonderful heal-results of the world renowned *Vaseline* and that they are not the same thing in the same way.

These masses of cobweb, when damped by rain or dew, establish "leaks" and by drawing off the current the capacity of the lines is sometimes reduced to only a tenth of the normal. Children's Diseases in England. In England, while the number of cases of scarlet fever per annum has remained practically stationary for the last forty years, the death rate is only about one-eighth of what it was in the former period.

Truly Marvelous Feat Pliny states that Cicero once saw the entire illiad of Homer contained in the shelly covering of a specimen of the forest fruit. By many this was long believed to be a fiction.

A woman who has used Postum Food Coffee since it came upon the market eight years ago knows from experience the necessity of using Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a steady brain. She says: "At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum and got a sample and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicous to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking coffee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stomach. To make a long story short our entire family have now used Postum for eight years with completely satisfying results as shown in our fine condition of health, and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner.

The Meanest Man stopped over in Cherryvale a few nights ago, long enough to eat his fill at a church supper and receive seventy-five cents in change for a lead dollar. There may be a temperance lesson in the fact that Coldwater does not find it necessary to have a police force, or even a town marshal. The Wellington News is not afraid to tell the people of Wellington with almost brutal frankness what it thinks of them. This 's it: "There are still in Wellington two revivals, nine churches, six saloons, two gambling houses and two bucket shops. On one side law, civilization, morality, religion—on the other side money. Who wins? Why, can't you see every day? Money wins. Money is the god in Wellington and Sumner county." Carrie Nation might send out to Kansas and get her two faithful disciples Myra McHenry and Blanche Boles, to take soubrette roles in her show. 1 A number of incorrigible Kansas paper will be quite sure that Kansas City had some base, mercenary motive in sending firemen and fire apparatus to put out the conflagration in Olathe. The government has refused to pay the expenses of Governor Bailey's staff at the Fort Riley maneuvers, although the war department must know that without Governor Bailey's staff the maneuvers would have been a wretched failure. "The theory that cinder beetles require metallic food," says the Hutchinson News, "is disproved by the fact that there was nothing to the Nebraska Kansas & Gulf railroad which they devoured but paper. Not a rail had been laid." There was a small earthquake in Pratt county last week, and the correspondent, who is accustomed to reporting cyclones, says the vibration "was from the southwest." By the way, what has become of the suits brought by the attorney general and the county attorney of Shawna county to smash the Coal trust? A dramatic writer in the Galena Republican finds fault with the careless stage kiss. He has observed that it is likely to be "planted anywhere from the collar bone to the topmost hairpin." Beware of Sweet Breakfast Foods Many of the breakfast foods upon the market are sweetened with gluide, a drug substitute for sugar. The direct interference with the gastric digestion and the assimilation of food caused the French Government to prohibit its use as a dietician substitute for sugar. Children love it because it is sweet, hence the danger. In selecting foods for daily use DR.

Prison for Usher. It is a criminal offense in Hungary to lend money at usurious rates, and a Pressburg money lender was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment for that offense recently. Piso's Cure for Consumption is an infallible medicine for coughs and colds. N. W. SAMUEL, Ocean Grove, W. J.

Revive Old Customs Swell mothers in New York have taken to dressing their little boys in fancy costumes—Prince Charles, L'Aiglions and what not. The Little Lord Fauntleroy idea has gone out. Not a few little swashbucklers with leather leggings and belts may be seen toddling along with their nurses. Advantage of College Training Advantage of College Training. "I dunno what my boy Jesh would have done without his college education and made him unemployed," he added." Yes, While he was home he got on the same side of a fence with a bull, and mother an' me was powerful thankful that he was a champion runner and jumper." Why. Indeed! Scolding is easy. It takes neither power of brain nor heart to scold. It does not even make any great draught upon the physical being. Any fishwife can be a grand success at scolding! Why compete with her? Couldn't See Any Reason. "This paper says," remarked Mr. Chugwater, looking at the headline, "that there is a good deal of unrest among the workmen at the chair factories. Don't they ever let them use the chairs?" Plague Inoculation. Of 400 natives belonging to the American mission of Rahuri, Bombay, India, who were inoculated against plague, only one girl caught the disease, and she recovered. The Doctor's Statement. St. John, Kan. Nov. 16.—This town has a genuine sensation in the case of a little boy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William McBride. Dr. Limes, the attending physician, says: "Scarlet Fever of a very malignant type brought this child very near to death and when the fever left him he was semi-paralyzed in the right leg and right arm. He also lost hearing in his right ear, and his mind was much affected. "His parents tried another treatment for a time and when I was recalled I found that he was having spells very like Epilepsy and was very bad and gradually growing worse. I advised the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in a short time the child began to improve. Inside of a week the nervous spasms or epileptic seizures ceased altogether." Mr. and Mrs. McBride have made a sworn statement of the facts and Dr. Jesse L. Limes has added his sworn statement saying that Dodd's Kidney Pills and nothing else cured the fits. No, Cordelia, don't think for a minute that because every man has his price, he gets it. WINCHESTER Factory Loaded Smokeless Powder Shells.
