THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT 4TH YEAR. Census Report REVIEW SHOWING THE PER CENT OF ILLITERACY BE TWEEN WHITES AND BLACKS IN INDIANA, INDIAN TERRITORY, IOWA AND KANSAS. In reviewing the Census Bulletin report, issued by the Census Department under the direction of Me. W. C. Hunt, chief statistician on population, there is much valuable information that can be found therein. The report shows by sex the number of persons of school age, the number of males of military age, the number of males of voting age, the number of foreign born males 21 years of age and over, classified by citizenship, for the several states and territories of the United States. For the purpose of this article we will only take up the report as it refers to the population in Indiana, Indian Territory, Iowa and Kansas. The figures contained in this report, sads the bulletin are derived from the detailed tabulation of the population returns of the twelfth census, taken as of June 1st, 1900, and are subject to correction. The report is too lengthy to permit of as reproducing it in full here, so we will only deal with the report as it may directly or indirectly concern the colored population in the states named, and although the present report is subject to corrections, we make none and will submit the report as it is shown here:—The report shows that there are the following number of 5 years and 20 years at the states named above, as follows: Indiana, aggregate 843,885; Negroes colored 18,491;—Indian Territory, 59,125, colored 37,705;—Iowa, 767, 870, colored 4,085;—Kansas, 527,560, colored 19,919. Males of school age, 5 year of age to 20 years of age:—Indiana, 25,660, colored 9,060; Indian Ter., 1,335, colored 18,662; Iowa, 387, 360, colored 2,053; Kansas, 267,679 colored 9,954.

In the report is shown the num- er of persons of school, militia, and bring ages, by sex, general nativity, and color fsr places having 2,500 inhabitants and over. We cull from the places of Kansas which have 2,500 inhabitants or more, the following, and in doing so we take only the towns that may be of more importance:Abilene,total white 1,078,colored 715; Arkansas City, total white 1,915,colored 107; Atchisen, white 4,341,colored 922; Cherryvale, white 1,118,colored 54; Emporia, white 2,373,colored 261; Ft, Scott,white 2,879,colored 461; Gaena, white 3,076,colored 222; Iola, white 1,760,colored 87; Kansas City, white 13,857,colored 2,103; Lawrence, white 2,621,colored 739; Leavenworth, white 5,465,colored 965; Parsons, white 1,234,colored 280; Pittsburg, white 3,316,colored 115; Topeka,white 8,614,colored 1,721; Weir City,white,885,colored 64; Wichita,white 7,317 colored 472. The report goes on to show the number of males of 21 years of age and over, classified by general nativity and literacy:Indiana total, 720,206, literate 680,190, illiterate 40,016; Indian Territory 97,361, literate 81,879, illiterate 15,482; Iowa 635,297, literate 618,237; Kansas 413,786, literate 396,572, illiterate 14,214. The above table shows the general statistical report regardless to color. Below is the report in report in regard to color of male persons 21 years of age and over in detail, classified by literacy:Indiana, total white males, 184,315, literate 174,347, illiterate 9,966, total colored males 18,445, literate 13,331, illiterate 5,113; Indian Territory, total white males 6,129, literate 5,444, illiterate 685, colored males 19,496, literate 12,491, illiterate 7,005; Iowa, total white 309,152, illiterate 298,115 illiterate 10.037, total colored 4,633, literate 3,553, illiterate 1080; Kansas, total white males 129,864, literate 124,678, illiterate 5,186, total colored males 15,234 literate 10,866, illiterate 4,368. New Orleans, Nov. 19.—Judge A. M. Aucoin, of the second city criminal court, today held the Wilson Jim Crow seperate car law unconstitutional. H. H. Pearson and other officials of the railwas company had been charged with violating the law in not providing screens to divide in the streer cars, and when brought to trial today, the counsel for Pearson file a demurrer, attacking the constitutionality of the measure. In sustaining this demurrer Judge Aucoin holds the seperate car law null and os no effect. It was contended in she demurrer that the act of the general assembly; sogh o WICHITA KANSAS NOV 29 1902. delegate to the railway officials the power and authority of determining and declaring the races to which the various passengers belong. This was in violation of the provisions os the constitution vesting judicial power in the supreme court, courts of appeals and the district courts. It was contended that the general assembly has not undertaken to fix the maximum and minimum penalties as required by act 155 of the constitution of the state. It was held that the penalties fixed in session 3 of act 64 of 1902, known as "Jim Crow" bill, were so uncertain that it was not susceptible of being carried into execution. not permit any satisfac determineas to the court vested with jurisdiction for the trial of offense against its provisions. For these reasons it was moved that the affidavit be dismissed The following address was delivered by Booker T. Washington at educational convention held at New Orleans, Friday, Oct. 31. Booker Washington spoke in part as follows: "The changes that have occurring, in methods of education during the last quarter of a century, are almost marvelous. I remember that almost the first time I entered a school, among the things the teacher told to me was that the main object of an education was to enable one to speak and write the English language correctly. At that time I was living in a little one-room cabin with my mother, surrounded by squalor and in complete poverty, and even then I began to wonder how the mere learning to talk was going to enable me to better the industrial and financial condition of my home surroundings. "More and more, in all parts of the world, we find that students are being taught not only to talk and write while in school, but taught how to do something which the world actually wants done. In a special degree, in the present condition of my race, this should be kept in mind in our education. It seems to me that one of the first things to be done in the education of any people is to inquire very carefully as to what those edubated orn find to do after they have gone through school. For example, if the students to be educated are living in an agricultural district, it seems to me that the main thing to push in their education is agriculture. I think I am safe on saying that at least 85 per cent of our people in the Gulf States line by some form of agriculture. Since this is true, it seems to me that we have made a great mistake in not educating the children in the very subject that they should know most about. I believe that the time has come when every school in town and country should have a course in agriculture. I believe that it is vastly more important to teach a student to love the soil, birds, trees, rivers, cews and horses, and hogs, plows and barrows than it is to teach him astronomy or about the geography of China or Africa. At the Tuskegee Institute we are making an especial effort to emphasize the teaching of agriculture, not only because we find that the students who graduate from the course are in demand on the part of both races, but because we find by experience and observation that our people are at their best in the country districts, and at their worst in the larger cities. The Fegre in his present condition, is, to my mind vastly better off industrially, phyisically and morally in a the country than in a crowded city. At the Tuskegee Institute we believe in giving the studort such an idea of the dignity and beauty of agricultural life that after he gets through with his course of training he will return to the country and there spend his time in raising forty bushels of corn on an acre of land where only twenty bushels were growing before, instead of yielding to the temptation to go to a city and try to live by his wits "The idle class of our people are in the cities, those who hang about the street corners and barrooms and dens of sin and misery are to a large degree, the curse of the race, and there should go out from every school teacher, every minister, a voibe and an influence which cannot be misunderstood that should rid ourselves of this idle and irresponsible "Our people in every part of the country must be taught that all forms of lsbor are honorable and that all forms of idleness of disgrace. We must get rid of the idea that it is disgraceful for an educated girl to learn to cook or to sew or to do housekeeping or laundering dy the veryy best methsds. If we do not sooh learn to put brains and skill and dignity into these common occupations which are now in our hands, there will come into the South a race of foreigners which will replace us, and we we will be relegated to the outer edge of these important inductries. idleness is teal of not saving money. Few laboring peple anywhere in the world spend so much money as is true of our race, eut we will never never be respected and get upon our feet as a people until we learn the gospel of saving, until we learn that if we earn one dollar we should put fifty cents in the bank. I want to urge especially upon our people who are at work in the rice fields in this section of the country to at least invest some of the money that is coming into their hands this fall in houses and lands, or put it int. the bank, and t urge especially that we not yield vo the temptation to spend it in gew-gaws. for superficial show, for things that we can just as well do without. "In order that our people, how ever, may not flock to the large ci aes in so large a number, there are one or two suggestions which I want to urge especially upon the people of this state and the South, in the first place, we can not expect our people to remain in the country if they have schools in session last- ing on a few months, when they find the schools on the cities lasting eight or ten months during the year. Neither can we expect them to remain in the country unless their physical surroundings in the way of houses are made comfortable and attractive. Any planter in the state of Louisiana who has never tried it I think would be surprised at the increased prodation of his farm within a few years by reason of the fact that he furnises to his tenants the very best class of houses in which to live, and in connection with good houses, a first class school. No provision has been made for paying the members of the anthracite coal strike commission. This is a case where the prayers and gratitude of the whole people ought to be sufficient compensation. It is all very well to work up excitement about the statement of that Chicago clergyman who refuses to perform the marriage ceremony for less than $10, but the man who can't afford to pay that price in the United States of America ought, for the woman's sake, to be doomed to single blessedness until he can. A Tiffin young woman has read the Bible through twenty-three times in that many years. Others might follow her lead even though the paper covered literature received a slight. A Parisfan editor has kicked a marquis who slapped his face. In this case the man who had a kick coming to him gave it to the other fellow, appropriately enough. One of Mark Hanna's daughters is to marry a newspaper, man. In the Hanna family riches will only exist during the Mark generation. A South Dakota editor calls the rival newspaper in his town his "contemptuary." Marconi says he has succeeded in telegraphing across the ocean without wires. Now for Mars. The czar's rules for editors makes the reporter a superfluous appendage to a Russian newspaper. There are not lacking indications that in his arbitrament against us King Oscar flipped a copper. It can't really be so expensive living at Atlantic City. Hetty Green has gone there for her health. Now they are going to teach all the modern languages by machinery. This should make talk still cheaper. Pictures of Gen. Uribe-Uribe show that he is not such a terrible-looking fellow as his name would lead one to infer. Count Boni de Castellane has an overcoat which cost $11,000. The price of his new corsets is not named. News from New York and Paris is to the effect that the arrogant chauffeur is beginning to get what is coming to him. A raisin trust has been formed. This is especially discouraging, coming just as the mince pie season is to be inaugurated. Chancellor Andrews believes the devil is in football. A desperate team might look further for a center rush and fare worse. A woman was arrested in Denver for voting three times, and yet men insist that women do not understand the real use of the ballot. If John Bull can settle the Irish question for good by a cash investment of $500,000,000 he will be making an excellent bargain. In that hotbed of fashion, Newport, there are forty-two cases on the divorce docket, and the good Lord only knows how many that ought to be there. It has been found that antitoxin will cure rattlesnake bites. It isn't likely, however, that the new cure will make much headway in Kentucky. Marie Corelli has referred to Mr. Carnegie as a "poor human biped." Still, she must admit that he has done a good deal for people who write books. Some scientist has calculated that man is subjected to 1,212 different kinds of diseases. He generally has them all along about this time of the year, too. What does it matter if the Missouri Valley Homeopathic association did pass a resolution condemning the kiss? Who cares for kissing in homeopathic doses, anyway? If Alfred Austin really thinks that "great poetry is the surest antidote for the prevailing virus of materialism," what is he trying to do to the world, anyhow? Kisses have been pronounced unsanitary in nearly every quarter of the globe, but up to the present time no physician has dared discover microbes in a wink. Sir Thomas Lipton might save considerable expense and achieve a better result by purchasing one of the old American cup defenders instead of building Shamrock III. Ah Joke, a maniac Chinese, ran amuck in Marysville the other day, and the residents of that worthy town are looking for the fellow who gave the cooile his name.—San Francisco Call. A Cincinnati judge has granted a man a divorce because his wife insisted on having 2 dog sleep in the bed with them. So say we all! That ought to be a good law anywhere, at any time. Ambitious youths should not jump hastily to the conclusion that the quickest and surest way to get rich is to become a burglar or train robber. Occasionally one of these fellows is nabbed.

Our advice to our people now is, as it was before the recent campaign, and ever since we began publication, to remain with the Republican party. The principles of the Republican party, when put into execution will come nearer giving to the colored people their rights than the principles of any other party. Although we may be scourged with thorns, and stoned with lies, we will maintain or stand in defense of the principles of the Republican party, and the erest of our people. We are sincere and it matters not what any may say to the contrary. DISAPPOINTED Rev. Yochum and the members of the A. M. E. church had made arrangements to have their 6 o'clock dinner at Peerless Hall Thanksgiving night. They had had ticket printed, bought and cooked their provision and had everything in readiness. The committee went down to the hall in the early part of the evening to heat the building and, lo! they found that the workmen on the large building north of the hall had removed all he windows. Thus they had to abandon their entertainment. It seems very strange that it was necessary to remove the windows on that particular day. We allow agents a big commission for their work.

Among all the mean, despisable and most disgusting creatures which ever existed or do now exist, the meanest, most despisable, most disgusting, most contemptible and most wretched of creatures is the wilful liar. The wilful liar is worse than a murderer. There are one or two of them in Wichita. They are always at hand with a newly hatched lie. After doing all manner of mean and contemptible things against us, the liar has now started a thousand lies to circulate about the editor of this paper. As a rule we pay no attention to them because they are far below the notice of even the curs. One lie which we wish to seal is one which came to our ear concerning some remark—the remark has not come to us yet—which the liars are circulating saying that we made some remark derogatory to the character of Miss Alexander in regards to the appointment in the office of Mr. W. L. Appiing. We care not what they may have said we said, we brand it as a wilful, malicious lie. We have not only not said anything against any Miss Alexander, but not against any man woman or child who is now applying or who may hereafter apply for a position under Mr. Appling or anyone else. We do not do that kind of business. We defy any of those liars to bring a man, woman or child before us who will say they ever heard us say they ever heard us say anything contrary to the best interests of all the aspirants for positions. These devilish liars are at their work to raise sentiment. But they are doomed to fail. We want to say in this connection that we have patiently borne the many lies hatched by them long enough. If these liars would attend to their own affairs and leave other men's affairs alone, if they would be satisfied with their own wives, and stop chasing over the town after other men's wives, if they would cease to spoil the virtue of young girls, if they would be sure that their own garments are spotless, they would find that their time would be better spent than hatching lies against us, for they amount to nothing. If those liars do not "lay off us" we will throw a bombshell in somebody's camp. We do not want to do so, but we will be forced to do it. We hope to avert it. We care not what they say as long as they keep clear of attaching the name of any of the ladies of Wichita or any other place in their lies. If it comes to mud-slinging, we can and will sling. Get a Searchlight, if you want the news. Mrs. Jno. W. Hall and children were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Miller Thanksgiving day. Joe Dunson and W. M. Dent went hunting Thanksgiving day. The Ball given at the Son's of Veteran's hall Thanksgiving night, by the Bijou Social club under the management of Mr. J. B. H. Fray, was one of the Social events of the season. It was well attended and all highly complimented Mr Fray on his superb management. The Merchants who appreciate the trade of the colored people ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. PATRONIZE THEM. — BIG RALLY Rv. P. D. Yochum, pastor of the A. M. E. church, and his members will hold a big rally at that church next Sunday. The two clubs of the church will make the effort of their lives. The "Red Birds" and the "Blue Birds" will clash for honors on that day. Rev. H. V. Plummer, of the 2nd Baptist church and his members will be present at the afternoon services It is Rev. Yochum's wish to raise a good sum of money on that day. Let every one go out and help Rev. Yochum and his members in their good work. Bnt, remember, bring your pocketbook and have it filled ready to help the good cause. There's a weekly letter from Washington, D.C., in the Chicago weekly Inter Ocean, and its contents alone make the paper well worth the price of its regular subscription price of $1.00 per year. Yet by our special low price arrangement both this paper and The Inter-Ocean may be had for $1.50 per year. Can you think of a better investment? We take this means to thank our white and colored friends for the large amount of good job work which they gave us to do during the month of November. Its was fine. We are glad that all expressed themselves highly pleased with the grade of work which we gave them. We earnestly ask for a continuation of their friendship, while writing this article one of our white friends comes forward with a nice job. We thank yo again and again one and all. The G. L. A. club met at the residence of Mrs. Lee Anderson at their usual time. After an hour and a half of work with their skillful needles the ladies then devoted half an hour to business, after which the hostess announced lunch was ready and all enjoyed the dainty refreshments she had spread below them, and all declared Mrs. Anderson an ideal hostess. The club will meet next Tuesday at the residence of Mrs J, Chinneth, 530 Waco ave.

Exploration has lately revealed relics of Menes, the founder of the Egyptian monarchy, fashioned more than 6,500 years ago. Of Zer, the successor of Menes, it is astonishing to find the forearm of his queen still in its wrappings, with four splendid bracelets intact. This brilliant and exquisitely finished group of jewelry is 2,000 years older than the jewelry of Dahsur, the oldest up to then known. The arm of the queen had been broken off by the first plunderers and had lain hidden in a hole in the wall of the tomb. Farmer Fluds A Friend. Nadeau, Mich., Feb. 3d—Mr. Nelson De Rosier of this place, a prosperous farmer, sixty-one years of age, has suffered for years with Kidney Trouble. He has tried many medicines, but found nothing to relieve him until he began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he has found this remedy to be a friend indeed. He says: "I thank God that there is one medicine in the world that does help weak and sick humanity. I would earnestly advise every one who has Kidney Trouble to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have given great satisfaction in our family." Wherever Dodd's Kidney Pills have been used according to directions, they have not failed to cure all Kidney Troubles, Bright's Disease, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Lumbago and Backache. Highest Recorded Medical Fee. The highest medical fee ever paid became the property of a blind physician, Dr. Gale, of Bristol, who cured a wealthy patient of a diseased knee by electric treatment, and in return found his banking account richer by £50,000. Garfield Tea cures constipation. A PETRIFIED FOREST. Almost everyone has heard of the petrified forest in Arizona, but few know that it is comparatively easy of access to visitors. The distance from the railroad is but seven miles and at the station Adamana, on the Santa Fe, a few miles east of Holbrook, Mr. Albert Stevenson maintains a small inn, accommodating about ten people and provides a spring wagon outfit and several saddle ponies for those who desire to visit the forest. The old pioneer, Adam Hanna, who, in the sense that John Hance made the Grand Canyon, made the Petrified Forest, has moved away. At the forest there are hundred sections of tree trunks of vases and in variegated colors lynx posed on the plain or half buries the hillsides. There are several tinct volcanoes in the vicinity of forest and about two miles from railway station are the ruins of an Aztec settlement and curious hieroglyphics carved on rock. Stop-overs are granted at Adaman on through railroad and Pullman tickets where the holders desire to visit the Petrified Forest. As people lose innocence they find experience. Garfield Headache Powders are especially adapted to the needs of nervous women. Try them. A Great Popcorn Farmer A. L. Sohaffer, of Edgar county, Illinois, last year harvested the largest crop of popcorn ever gathered in the world. From his 102 acres he had 1,800 bushels, a yield of a little over seventeen bushels to the acre. It cost him $17 an acre to raise, sort, shell and pay ground rent. BEFORE HE TOOK VOGELER'S So writes our esteemed friend Mr. Frank Chambers of 9 Bennett street, Chiswick: "For over two years I suffered agonies from indigestion and became reduced to a mere shadow of my stalwart self. I would return home from my business feeling so faint that I could hardly drag one leg after the other. My dear wife did all she possibly could to tempt me with dainty dishes, and as I entered the house I sniffed and thought: 'Oh, how good; I know I can eat that!' But alas! no sooner had I eaten a few mouthfuls, when I felt sick; severe pains shot through my chest and shoulder blades, my eyes swam and everything seemed black, I became alternately hot and cold, and got up from such a dainty dinner heartily sick of living, and feeling I was a sore trial to everybody. I may mention that I was also very much troubled with scaly skin, and often boils. But one evening I noticed my wife seemed more cheerful than usual. I questioned her and found she had been reading a pamphlet she had received of men afflicted just as I was, and who had been cured by Vogeler's Compound. Said she, 'What gives me more faith in it is that it is made from the formula of an eminent physician now in active practice in the West End of London, so I am sure it is no quack thing.' 'All right, dear, let's have a bottle,' said I. After taking the contents of the first bottle, I felt very much better, and determined to give this remedy a fair trial, and I can positively assure you that a few bottles made a new man of me. I can sleep well, eat anything, and thoroughly enjoy. I have told several of my friends whom I knew were suffering the same as myself, and they all wish me to say that they are like new men. I sincerely bless the great physician who gave you the formula of Vogeler's Curative Compound, and also yourselves for making its virtues known to a suffering public."

The blood is life. We derive from the blood life, power, beauty and reason, as the doctors have been saying from time immemorial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance, and generally all the abilities we possess depend on that source of life. It is therefore the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as possible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has given us a thermometer indicating the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving notice of its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any attention, headache, ringing noises in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are generally a sign that the blood is not in its normal state, but is filled with noxious substances. These symptoms deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to those symptoms, and steps taken to remove them, then many illnesses from which we suffer would become unknown and the human body would become stronger and healthier. Attention therefore should be paid to those warning signs, and the blood can be purified and poisonous substances removed from it by the use of Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years ago.

Coal Presidents and Private Operators Agree on Non-Action. WOULD GO ON WITH HEARINGS New York, Nov. 27.—A serious hitch has occurred in the plans for a settlement of the coal controversy by conference between the coal operators and the Miners' union. At a meeting between the presidents of the coal roads and a large number of independent operators a strong proprotest was entered by the latter against treating directly with the miners. Mr. Simpson, a private operator, said: "As to miners, it can be shown that their annual earnings are more than the amount called 'fair wages' which was specified by two witnesses called for the plaintiffs. Their wages per hour are greater than those of skilled mechanics working and living in the same regions, and they work less hours per day through choice, and consequently, through the same choice, less days per year, since the operator must employ a large number of men in order to secure the output which might be produced by a fraction of that number." President Baer gave out the following after the close of the conference: "They (the private operators) met the coal presidents who had signed the request to the president of the United States. They presented a protest against any judgment being made at this time, insisting that the principles involved were so serious and affected so many interests that it was necessary now to have the commission hear all facts and pass its judgment upon the whole controversy. "Mr. Simpson, as chairman, read a paper expressing their views, and other gentlemen expressed decided opinions. In the midst of the conference the request came from Washington to the operators of both classes to meet Mr. Mitchell and his associates. The parties present, without dissent instructed Mr. Baer to make the following answer: "The conditions are such that no substantial progress can be made by the suggested meeting. The general judgment of the operators is that it would be best for the present to go on with the hearing." Equitable Division Difficult Topeka, Nov. 26.—No results have been obtained yet in the conference between the Santa Fe officials and the grievance committee of the engineers and firemen in relation to increased wages. There is no disposition on the part of the Santa Fe to resist a reasonable increase of wages in keeping with the policy of other roads, but the varying conditions on divisions call for different scales. The western men are paid more than the eastern, and an equitable division of the increase is difficult. Tled Up by Flood. Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 25.—The entire railroad train service of the state is more or less delayed by the recent heavy rains. There have been no Texas & Pacific trains to this city from the east. All other roads are delayed The Frisco line from here to Sherman was not used for two days. Denounced by Union Miners Telluride, Col., Nov. 23.—The Telluride Miners' union has adopted resolutions condemning the "cowardly assassination" of Arthur L. Collins, general manager of the Smuggler-Union Mining Company, "as being wholly opposed to the policy and spirit of organized labor." Agricultural College Crowded. Manhattan, Kans., Nov. 26. -In his biennial report to the board of regents. President Nichols of the Agricultural college shows that the attendance since 1890 has increased forty per cent and the number of students taking agriculture 220 per cent. The increase in attendance has been much out of proportion to the increase in the faculty, that yet the amount available has been over $800 less during the last three years than during the three years immediately preceding. Strike Riot in Havana Havana, Nov. 26.—As the result of conflicts of a serious nature between the police and the men on strike here, two strikers are dead and thirty-two other persons wounded. The strike, which at first concerned only the digar workers, became general by the calling off of all trades in sympathy with the cigarmakers. Every class except men operating electric cars, obeyed the command of the union; they refused to join in the strike. The President's Position Washington, Nov. 27.—The president desires no radical legislation. He wants no new experiments tried. The Sherman law has been on the statute books for twelve years, and has been effective in meeting many of the trust problems. Its validity has been passed upon by the United States supreme court. In trying to enforce the law there have found means of evading some of its provisions. The president desires evolution of the law in keeping with the evolution of the trusts. STANDARD VS. SOLAR TIME. Nearly $20,000 Of Insurance Hangs On Minutes. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 25.—Whether noon in Louisville is reckoned according to standard time or solar time is the question involved in thirteen suits for $19,940 insurance filed here. Each of these suits is against insurance companies that held policies on three buildings destroyed by fire about midday, April 1, last. The policies of the thirteen defendant companies were in force from noon April 1, 1901, to noon April 1, 1902. None of the policies make it plain whether the word noon means standard or solar time. The records of the fire department show that the flames were discovered about 11:45 o'clock, although the exact moment never has been definitely settled. Solar time here is seventeen and one-half minutes faster than standard time, and if the fire broke out at 11:45 standard time it was then two and one-half minutes after noon by solar time. Legislative Program Washington, Nov. 26.—Leading members of the senate of the house are being consulted and the legislative program for the session will be agreed upon. It will provide as near as can be guessed by those in command, to pass the appropriation bills, reach a final agreement in conference on the bill to protect the president, clear up Cuban reciprocity with a treaty, agree upon a canal treaty, possibly agree upon the bill to create a department of commerce, which has passed the senate, and amend the Sherman anti-trust law. That Klondike Swede. Salina, Kas, Nov. 25.—The annual conference of the Swedish Mission church, in session here, has elected officers. A letter from P. H. Anderson, the young Swede from Kansas who made a fortune in the Klondike, states that he will increase his donation to the Swedish Mission college to be erected at McPherson, from $5,000 to $25,000. This leaves $33,000 of the necessary $75,000 to be raised. Mexico and Gold Standard. Mexico City, Nov. 25.—The heavy advance in the gold premium has caused excitement in financial and business circles. The premium has been rising all week and has reached 171. It is generally conceded that a gold standard cannot be long delayed, as silver fluctuates in value so rapidly that it cannot be relied on as a basis of currency. Ore Dock Burns And Falls Ashland, Wis., Nov. 25.—The Wisconsin Central ore dock is destroyed by fire, the losses involved being about $25,000. In falling, the dock carried with it a number of firemen and dockmen, and a number of lives were lost. Just how many will probably not be known for several days. A number of badly injured firemen were rescued from the burning ruins. To Unionize the Continent Denver, Colo., Nov. 27.—The executive board of the Western Federation of Miners, in session here' is considering plans for the extension of the organization all over the continent. It is proposed to take into the union all miners who have been affiliated with the American Federation of labor. Organizers will be sent into Mexico. Oklahoma's Official Vote. Guthrie, Oila., Nov. 26. -The result on the two principal candidates for delegate, Bird S. McGuire, republican, and Wm. Cross, democrat, was officially announced as follows: Bird S. McGuire, republican, 45,803 votes. William M. Cross, democrat, 45,409 votes. Majority for McGuire, 399. Freights and Wages Chicago, Nov. 26.—"Railroad freight rates are lower than they ought to be under the new scale of wages and the present cost of supplies and materials which railroads have been obliged to pay owing to the great prosperity of the country." Paul Morton, second vice president of the Santa Fe, made this statement, and followed it up by declaring that a campaign was about to be started with a view to raising all freight rates in territory west of Chicago to the Pacific coast. Gompers Still President. New Orleans, Nov. 25. — The Federation of Labor re-elected Samuel Gompers, president, and as vice presidents, James Duncan, John Mitchell, James O'Connell, Max Norris, T. J. Kidd, D. A. Hays; treasurer, John B. Lennon; secretary, Frank Morrison; fraternal delegate to the National Labor convention of Great Britain, Max Hayes and Martin Lawler; fraternal delegate to Canada, John Coleman. Place of next convention Boston. Silver in Mexico. Mexico City, Nov. 27.—The premium on New York exchange continues to advance and has reached 885; that is, $2.85 Mexican silver is required to buy one American gold dollar. The large farmers in the interior and planters throughout the country say they do not care if the dollars fall to 30 cents, as only the city merchants and importers want gold. They urge that the depreciated silver keeps the dollars in the country and makes business good. Please listen to a short talk upon a most vitally important subject—one which is greatly disturbing the business world to-day. You have doubtless heard of the word "substitution." You have probably read that "substitution is fraud." Tack that saying firmly in your mind and keep it there. It is worth something. It is true—almost invariably. You call at a store and ask for an article of a certain brand or manufacture, one which has been thoroughly advertised for years, and which has earned an excellent reputation. The dealer says "here's something just as good for less money." That dealer thereby usually tells a direct falsehood. He knows that the article which he offers you at a lower price is inferior, but the point is that it yields him a greater profit; hence his desire to substitute. You may ask if an article is superior just because it is advertised. Yes, it is, and here's why. The many well-known houses which spend millions of dollars every year in the good publications of the country are managed by men of brains and wide business experience, and these men know only too well that unless an article has merit there is absolutely no business sense in spending good money to advertise it. It does not pay to advertise any article of general use for a short time only. Every advertiser must wait some time before his advertising has created the desired impression and while he is waiting his goods must have time to prove whether or not they are good. If they are good, they stick; if not, they do not, and if they were not good and did not stick, would this experienced business man continue to spend good money advertising the goods—throw good money after bad as it were? Never! He has too much business sense. The average article which you see advertised month after month in good publications is itself good. Buy an advertised article. It is the true safe way. When you are buying ask for what you want and get what you ask for. Remember! "Substitution is Fraud." —Pearson's Magazine. Farmers and washerwomen get a living out of the soil. GOOD HOUSEKEEPERS Use the best. That's why they buy Red Cross Ball Blue. At leading grocers, 5 cents. Looking for a speak-easy is a sort of still hunt. WHY IT IS THE BEST is because made by an entirely different process. Defiance Starch is unlike any other, better and one-third more for 10 cents. Not a Murderous Assault. A Macon, Mo., lawyer argued the other day that on account of the known thickness of a negro's skull it was not assault with intent to kill to hit a negro over the head with a pick handle. Queer as it may seem, he convinced the jury that his view of the matter was the correct one and his client was acquitted. Mothers' Rights Recognized. The right of mothers as well as fathers to decide regarding the domicile, choice of profession, and marriage of their minor children has been recognized legally by the Dutch Parliament. Holland has also passed a law by which women may be appointed guardians for children not their own. Shame on the Young Men. Count up the men you know and see how many of them are bachelors. Then place a long mark to the credit of that heroic old codger in Connecticut who has just been married for the thirteenth time. He is 89 years old and his latest venture is a girl of 22. Shame on the young men who are shirking their duty.—Buffalo Express. Mrs. Hildebrandt's Discovery. Lake Sarah, Minn., Nov. 24th.—Mrs. Hildebrandt of this place claims to have discovered a complete cure for Rheumatism and numerous people can testify that as Mrs. Hildebrandt had the terrible affliction and is now a well woman, she appears to have good grounds for her claim. Mrs. Hildebrandt speaks of her cure as follows: "I had the Rheumatism in my arms so bad that I could not sleep at night. I was induced to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and before I had taken two boxes I was much better. When I had taken four boxes I was completely cured." It is only fair to state that others have made the same discovery as Mrs. Hildebrandt and that for Rheumatism and other diseases arising from the Kidneys, Dodd's Kidney Pills are recognized as the one sure and permanent cure. The newly married man will generally find cook books pretty heavy literature. Information for Everybody. The New Twentieth Century Series of Diamond Hand-Books Shelton's *Letter Writes*, No. 1; by L.

Berlin, Nov. 25.—Herr Krupp, the great gun-maker and the wealthiest man in Germany, died suddenly from appoplexy at his villa at Huegal. Herr Krupp had been ill for several days, and a report of his condition was telegraphed daily to his wife, who had been several months in Jena, under medical treatment. Physicians succeeded in restoring him toconseiousness after the apopletie stroke, but he soon relapsed into in- sensibility and soon died. In the meantime the directors of the Krupp works and Herr Krupp’s solic: itor had been summoned. ‘They held a consultation after his death, and caused a bulletin announcing his de- mise to be posted at the works at Pere. Atnoon rumors were in circulation in Essen that Herr Krupp was dying, but the public had no accurate infor- mation regarding his condition until the great works which dominate the city and furnish employment to 43,000 men, were closed. Herr Krupp's villa, where he died, is several miles from Essen. The great gun-maker lived there in almost feudal fashion, and the place is unapproacha- dle, nobody being admitted within the gates except the police, the directors of the Krupp works and the under- takers and their assistants. Herr Krupp was not regarded asa hard master by his workmen. He es tablished various institutions at Esser for their benefit, and built hundreds o2 model houses on sanitary principles for their use, charging them a moderate rent. Moderate estimates of the fortune of the deceased place it at $125,000,000, and his annual income during his re- cent years of prosperity at $10,000,000. Herr Krupp made a great sum by sup- plying armor plate to the new navy. Besides his iron works and his ship- yards, he had an interest in many financial enterprises, and recent’y had acquired extensive coal properties in connection with the North German Lloyd Steamship company. Emperor William was very fond of Herr Krupp personally, and frequently visited him. ‘Will Stop Bull Fight.

Sebeinnnnten diese) Washington, Nov. 27.—Eugene F. Ware, the pension commissioner, has raised a subject which has caused more speculation than all of the rumors about extra sessions and tariff revis ions and other legislative possibilities. Ina letter to the Secretary of the In- terior he has recommended the passage of a law retiring on a civil pension 500 superannuated clerks in his depart- ment and the employment of 100 active young men in their places. These 101 young men would do more and better worl, the commissioner from Kansas deciared, than the 500. Statehood Gossip. Washington, Nov. 27.—Gossip about possible statehood legislation has been stimulated by dispatches from the West intimating that the committee on ter- ritories of the Senate will favor the admission of Oklahoma and the rejec- tion of Arizona and New Mexico. Senator Quay refused to enter intoa long discussion of the statehood ques- tion. He has made it clear, however, that no matter what the committee on territories may report, he shall insist upon the admission of the three terri. tories as states. caine eae ma aie dean! Topeka, Nov. 25.—An important change in the program for the winter is that made by the State Historical society in bringing its annual meeting forward from the third Tuesday in January to the first Tuesday in Dece=n- ber. This change was suggested by the number of other boards and so: cieties holding their meetings in Jan- uary, the superabundance of polities, legislative and otherwise, all serving to distract public attention.

These animals use a larger eye than man, and several are ordered for them at the same time, as a new one is necessary about once in six months. The edges become rough- ened and produce irritation, from the acids of the secretions affecting the enamel. Minister Resembies Fitesimmone: Rey. Richard Cotton Smith, rector of St. John’s Episcopal church in Washington, in general appearance, looks like an exact duplicate of “Bob” Fitzsimmons, the prize fighter. The llusion disappears as soon as the rev- erend gentleman takes off his hat, for his head is not at all arranged on the cocoanut plan adopted by nature in modeling the lanky pugilist. Find of Petrified Bodies. Nine petrified bodies have been found in the cemetery attached to the New York Infant asylum at Mount Vernon, Tho asylum was closed re cently and the land was sold to a syn- dicate that purposes to develop the property. Threo hundred bodies are to be transferred to the Kensico ceme- tery. The bodies have the appearance of white marble.
