SUPPLEMENT TO THE SEARCHLIGHT. Wichita, Kansas, Saturday, June 20, 08 KANSAS COMMENT. SMORY HILL FALLING.—This river, which covered several towns, is now back in its channel. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.—The graduating class of the Topeka high school numbered 59, 42 of whom were girls. UNION PACIFIC GIVES.—Although that railroad has been a heavy loser by the floods it has given $2,200 toward the relief funds. STONE QUARRIES BUSY.—The quarries of Chase county are busy as there are prospects of a greater demand for all kinds of building stone. POTATO CHOP DESTROYED.—Thousands of acres of potatoes in the Kaw valley are a total loss. This is the chief potato district of Kansas. McPHERSON SCHOOLS.—The board of education has chosen Wm. A. Sinclair of El Dorado superintendent of the city schools at a salary of $1,000 a year. TEAMS CAN CHOSS.—The pontoon bridge at the north approach to the Melanbridge at Topeka has been made strong enough for wagon traffic, and headrooms of teams are at work hauling away slime and debris from the north side. AFTER DIAMONDS NOW.—H. S. Anderson, the Klondike millionaire, is now on his way to Kansas from Brazil, where he has purchased 100,000 acres of diamond and gold land in Central Brazil. Several Salina parties are interested with Anderson. DROWNED IN BATHING POOL.—Paul White and Willie Kramer, ages 8 and 9 years respectively, were riding a plank on the water in the bathing pool in the basement of the railroad Y. M. C. A. boiling at Topeka. The plank roiled over and the two were drowned. ADVISORY BOARD.—Governor Bailey has appointed Mayor T. B. Gilbert of Kansas City, Kas., T. D. Fitzpatrick, of Salina, and G. S. Murphy, of Manhattan, as an advisory board to assist him in the distribution of the fund which is being raised for the relief of the flood sufferers in Kansas. INSURANCE CO. MUST GO.—The state superintendent of insurance proposes to drive the Wayne Mutual Life Insurance company, of Indianapolis, Ind., out of the state. The company is doing business in Kansas without a license. It is probable the local agents of the company will be prosecuted. SIMULTANEOUS STATEMENTS.—A call is made upon national banks for a statement of their conditions on June 9. State Bank Commissioner Albaugh will issue a call at once on the state and private banks for a statement of their business up to the same date, with the intention of consolidating the reports. FIRST TRAIN DITCHED.—The first Santa Fe train in two weeks northbound running fast over flood weakened track was ditched ten miles south of Abilene. Fourteen cars loaded with delayed goods were wrecked, Engineer and fireman saved their lives by jumping. A new track built around the wreck opened the line. OTTAWA DID WELL.—The town raised $1,200 for the state relief fund. The local lodge of Elks and some of the church societies forwarded money immediately after the extent of the flood loss was known. Soliciting committees acting under the appointment of Mayor Halloren have raised about $800 and are still receiving contributions of cash and clothing. OVERWORKED POSTMASTERS.—A number of instances have been reported of the receipt, after the floods, at post-offices of such large amounts of mail as to cause the postoffice force to work all night to work all night to distribute it. Beloit received 66 sa at one time. ALL IN SIX MONTHS.—Harvey Atchison, six months ago became a messenger boy at Wichita for the Santa Fe telegraph department; now he is operator for the company on the main line, at Saffordville. STRECK FLOWING SPRING.—Parties in Kingman county who occupy leased pasture land commenced to dig a well from which they proposed to get stock water with a windmill. They struck a good vein at 13 feet and quit for the day. The next morning they found that the water had flowed from their well and formed a pond. No MAIL TO DELIVER.—On the day set for the inauguration of free mail delivery for Concordia there was no mail to deliver. The floods segregated the town for quite a period. WINFIELD WILL TRY AGAIN.—The contract has been drawn up between S. E. Husleton and the city of Winfield for drilling a deep well for natural gas. By its terms the driller binds himself to go down 2,000 feet, or further if possible, for $1.50 per foot. DANGEROUS HOLES—At several points in North Topeka where the severs have been washed out holes are appearing in the street. In some sections whole streets are supposed to be undermined and driving along these is exceedingly dangerous. NEW INSPECTORS.—The state live stock sanitary commission has appointed Jonathan McFall, of Kingman, as inspector at Arkansas City, to succeed J. H. Johnson, who has resigned, to take effect July 1, and L. B. Worden of Syracuse as inspector on the western line of the Santa Fe from Dodge City to Coolidge. Worden will pay especial attention to the inspection of cattle infected with the itch. LOSSES ABOUT TECUMSEH.—All of the bottom farmers there have lost all they have except the bare land on which they live. The island on which the 160-acre melon farm of Obadiah Vaughn was located has been entirely swept away. A number of small houses lodged near Tecumseh which probably were washed away from North Topka. VANDALS IN A CHURCH.—At Ottawa some vandals broke into the Episcopal church and drank up the wine which had been stored away for sacramental purposes. They also broke into a closet and took out the sacerdotal robes of the clergyman, and with these about them they "engaged in a bacchanalian dance around the altar." FLOUR SACKS SPOILED.—The Kramer Milling company of Wellington, has received a car of flour sacks which had been held up by the flood. They are covered with mud and the printing is so blurred from standing in the water that the carload is practically a total loss. The value of the entire load was $5,000. ONE OF THE FOUNDERS.—Harvey D. Rice one of the founders of Washburn college, is dead. He had been sick for three months with kidney trouble. He died on his farm east of Topeka. The flood and the death of President McVicar of the college is thought to have been the immediate cause of his death. PURSE FOR RURAL CARRIER—Ed Briggs, who lost his horse during the high water some time ago was given a surprise. The patrons of the route number two out of McPherson, on which he carries the mail, made up a purse of $39.50 and presented it to him. SHORT ONE DAY.—The inmates of the Soldiers' home at Leavenworth had a little taste of old war time trouble during the water tie-up. On account of the inability to get supplies they were on short rations for one day. WALNUT LOGS.—Two cars of them go from Arkansas City to Hamburg, Germany, over the Santa Fe to Galveston to take ship there. The logs are the best to be found in that part of the country and brought a big price. DELAYED FREIGHT.—The Rock Island's first receipt at Wichita of delayed freight consisted of 14 cars of merchandise which had been stopped at St. Joseph, Mo., by the floods. A NEW GRIST MILL.—Plans are making to build a large grist mill at Cottonwood Falls on the site of the old mill which was 'built some 40 years ago. LAID OVER AT OTTAWA.—That town entertained hundreds of returning transcontinental tourists who were held there until trains could go east. RAISED $16,000.—At the dedication of the First M. E. church in Emporia the sum of $10,000 was raised; freeing the organization entirely of debt. RAISED IN CLASS.—Among the fourth class postoffices which have been advanced to the presidential class effective July 1, is Douglas Kansas. SIX YEARS! GROWTH.—Six years ago the assessor's report showed a population in Winfield of 4,500. This year the population reached 7,173. COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.—Cottonwood Falls seems certain of securing one for Chase county. No opposition has developed. 5TEN NEW TEACHERS.—Kansas university will add ten new teachers to its corps of instructors next-year. TRAINS OF SILVER.—Many trains of silver ore are passing through Kansas these days. It is shipped from Mexico to Pueblo for smelting. The trains come through Kansas from Galveston, to which place it comes by water. Fifteen of these trains passed through Wichita last week. Each car carries 100,000 pounds of the ore. WICHTA GROWING.—The work of the city assessor shows that the city has 31,549 people, an increase of 7,707 since 1901, and an increase of 3,386 in the past year. WAS HERE IN '44.—Luther Dickerson, of Atchison county can remember the flood of 1844. This writer has known "Lute" since about 1860 and remembers of his telling about the '44 flood when tailing with him about the extremely wet winter and spring in that part of Kansas in 1859. TORONTO WELL A RICH ONE.—It was brought in at a depth of less than 1,200 feet, through 25 feet of oil sand. Citizens are excited and new contracts have been made to put down several more wells. DIFFERENCE IN RAINFALL.—Dr. Snow's report shows a rainfall during May of 7.06 inches at Lawrence, 2.33 above the average. The record kept by Prof. Jones, of the Wesleyan university at Salina, showed a fall for the month of 17.33 inches. RAISED $1,000.—A committee was appointed at a meeting of Beloit business men to solicit subscriptions for the relief of the Topeka flood sufferers and in a few hours $1,000 was subscribed in cash and a carload of clothing and provisions raised. OHASE COUNTY O. K.—Chase county farmers were not badly hurt by the floods, although the Cottonwood river was higher than the oldest settler remembers. The corn, except in a very few spots along the Cottonwood valley is in fine condition, as well as alfalfa, the first crop being harvested. Cattle are doing well on grass and the hay crop promises to be heavy. The loss of livestock was not very great. ANTHONY SALT WORKS.—The Orient salt plant at Anthony has been shut down for several weeks for repairs and improvements. All the salt on hand in the enormous storage rooms has been sold and orders are now coming in at such a rate that the plant will be taxed to its greatest capacity to keep up with them. SOME FLOUR SAVED.—In cleaning up the flooded mills of North Topeka it was found that the sacked flour was not a dead loss. On the inside of each sack a coating of paste formed which kept the rest of the flour dry. The crust of paste is about an inch thick. KANSAS G. A. R.—Kansas will soon receive $21,241.82 as her share of the $2,000,000 allotted the various states under the dick bill passed at the last session of congress. This is the bill that makes the national guard a reserve to the regular army. TRAINLOAD OF SAND.—Sand pumpers are shipping from Wichita a trainload of sand every day. The recent high water has cut off the supply from the Missouri river and all eastern Kansas and part of Missouri are now getting sand from Wichita. LYON COUNTY IMPROVING.—The assessor's returns show that the valuation of improvements in farm property of the county during the past year is nearly $3,000,000, and the increase in farm implements was $50,000 during the same period. SUPPLIES SCHEDULED.—The Topeka relief committee adopted a regular schedule of supplies for flood sufferers. It has fitted out more than 500 families already with household furniture and utensils. Each outfit costs $16.90. IN NEOSIO VALLEY.—The crops there have been completely washed out and it will be impossible to replant this year. The loss to the farmers was immense. Many of them also lost their barns and other improvements. RELIEF FROM GOVERNMENT CLERKS. —Kansans employed in the departments at Washington raised upon first effort $837 for relief in Kansas. Of this Pension Commissioner Ware contributed $200. For G. A. R.—Commander-in-chief Stewart has sent out circular letters from general headquarters asking that contributions be sent to comrades in Kansas who have suffered from the floods. NEW RIFLES.—The war department has notified Adjutant General Kelsey that as soon as they can be manufactured the Kansas National Guard will be supplied with new Krag-Jorgensen rifles. COLEMAN TO ASSIST.—The attorney general went to St. Francis to assist in the prosecution of Chauncey Dewey and his cowboys, charged with killing the Berrys in Cheyenne county. NOT ENOUGH WIND.—In Pratt county there was not enough wind for several days to work the windmills and stock suffered for water. PAOLA RAISED RELIEF.—It amounted to $1,00 in money and $1,500 worth of clothing, which was sent to Argentine and Armourdale. COST OF REPAIRS.—It will cost Topeka $50,000 to repair the streets and sewers of the flooded district. CUT THEM OUT.—Washburn college has cut the dead languages out of its course. VICTIMS OF WRECK.—The victims of the Santa Fe wreck which occurred at Stillwell, Kas., in which nine were killed and ten injured, are reported by the physician at St. Joseph's hospital to be doing well and all will recover. Only five at the injured remain in the hospital, the others having been discharged. PAYS TO PLANT TREES.—A Rice county man has lived to see trees which he planted when he first came to Kansas grow until they supplied him with material for barns, fences, etc. LONG SEWER ORDINANCE.—Judging by the length of the lola sewer ordinance published in the Register that town is going to have miles and miles of sewers and then some. The ordinance covers five of the Register's long columns. DAMAGE AT LAWRENCE.—A conservative estimate of the actual damage caused by the flood in that city places the loss at $300,000. Congressman Bowersock was the heaviest individual loser. His losses are figured at $100,000. HORTON SUPPLIES CIRCUS.—Sells & Downs' show was tied up at Horton for several days by the washouts. The men were paid off while there, and the result was a greatly increased lot of trade for the merchants in addition to the purchase of necessary supplies. To SUCCEED PENNY.—The board of regents of Kansas university has appointed Charles S. Skilton, Yale '85 now of Trenton, N. J., as dean of the school of fine arts, to succeed Prof G. B. Penny, who resigned to go to Washburn college at Topesa. Record for Railroad Building. The record for speed in railway construction has been achieved on the Baluchistan railway, which was pushed across a treeless plain at three and a quarter miles a day. Russell Square Disappears. Russell Square, London, beloved of readers of "Vanity Fair," seems to be fast disappearing. Half of the east side has been torn down to make room for a mammoth hotel, and now the west side is beginning to yield to blocks of flats. Coal Mines Increase It is stated that on Jan. 1, 1903, there were 1,124 bituminous coal mines in operation in Pennsylvania, as compared with 948 on Dec. 31, 1900. Meals by Electricity. Automatic bars have become so successful in Switzerland that a company has been formed to supply the Swiss and their visitors with electric automatic restaurants where, as of by magic meals, ranging from the modest chop and chips to the elaborate six-course table d'hote, will be served by electricity to all comers. A Maryland Wonder. Upper Cross Roads, Md., June 15th. Never in the history of medicine in this state has anything created such a sensation by its marvelous cures of the most extreme cases as Dodd's Kidney Pills. This wonderful medicine seems to know no limit in its wonder working power. Long-standing cases that have defied the most expert medical treatment seem to yield easily to this new conqueror of disease. Hundreds have testified to the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They tell of severe cases of Rheumatism, Lumbago, Backache, Female Trouble, Nervous Diseases and even Dropsy, Diabetes and Bright's Disease cured by this medicine. Among those who have been benefited may be mentioned Mrs. John Coorsey of this place. "I believe Dodd's Kidney Pills the best remedy ever known for Kidney Trouble and weak back. "They are without exception the best medicine I have ever used. "I will always praise them highly, for I know that they are good." Mrs. Cooney is only one of many who say of Dodd's Kidney Pills: "The most wonderful remedy we ever heard of." Education is a good thing provided it does not unfit a man for honest labor. INSIST ON GETTING IT. Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. A man's best capital is his ability and willingness to work. Look for this trade mark: "The Klean, Kool Kitchen Kind." The stoves without smoke, ashes or heat. Make comfortable cooking. The average boy outgrows his trousers faster than he does without his deviltry. Exempt from Plague A few years ago it would have seemed absurd to promise that the great commercial ports of the world could be made absolutely free from danger of invasion by such epidemics scourges as cholera and plague, but a careful investigation of the elements of danger and a rigid enforcement of quarantine regulations have made all our cities exempt from infection- An Amber Harvest. It is said to be an ill wind that blows nobody good. The tremendous gales which raged recently did the inhabitants of some of the villages on the southern Baltic coast a very good turn, large quantities of amber being washed ashore by the waves. At Rothenen, for instance, amber worth 24,000 marks (£1,200) was picked up, while at other places there was satisfactory harvests of this valuable substance. THE REAL CRANK Is Plainly Marked. A crank is one who stays in beaten paths when common sense tells him to leave. The real crank is one who persists in using coffee because accustomed to and yet knows it hurts him. It is this one who always pays the penalty, while the sensible person who gives up coffee and takes on Postum Food Coffee in its place enjoys all the benefits of returning health. A well-known manufacturer's agent of New York City visited the grocery department of one of the big New York stores not long ago and there he tasted a sample cup of Postum made the right way. He said afterwards: "Just through the energy of that young woman who was serving Postum there I became a convert to the food drink and gave up the drug drink coffee and got well. "I had used coffee to excess and was gradually becoming a complete wreck, getting weaker and more nervous every day. I paid the penalty for using coffee and when I tasted the delicious Postum I was glad indeed to make the change. "So I gave up the coffee altogether and have used Postum instead ever since. My family at first called me a crank, but seeing how Postum benefited me the first month they all got in line and as a result of Postum's remarkable benefits to me we all drink it now entirely in place of coffee and we are well." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. CUPOLA SKETCHES By BYRON WILLIAMS Ever and anon some worldly man who has had a night-sweat calls for the ink, and with pen in hand, writes again of the "old swimming hole." To dream of boyhood's happy June and the "old swimming hole," is, to a man steeped in the strenuous dregs of business, like the fragrant odor of an inspiring flower in the chamber where illness exhales its feverish atmosphere. Men who, as a general thing, think more of Swift's reference to fish that should swim thrice—once in the sea, once in butter, and once in good claret—cannot get away from the memory of the "old swimming hole." Any man who has had the double-lock knot tied in the tail of his shirt, while he splattered the water upon his grinning fellow youths, can never forget the earnest ardor which marked his shivering endeavor to untie that knot! In after years hard problems may arise to puzzle a man, to demand the uttermost effort of his ingenuity and capability, but never, no, never, will he fight against greater odds than when he sought to untle that wet and clammy Gordian knot beside the draughty river's edge. Triumphs may come and go, man reach high estate in the struggle for supremacy, but nothing will ever confront him demanding greater energy, concentration or perseverance. According to the most honored ethics of the "old swimming hole," the knot shall be tied in an able-bodied manner and as tight as any number of boys can clandestinely pull it. It is then thoroughly water-soaked and again used as the contending faction in a tug-of-war. The result is usually quite satisfying to all but one boy. Indeed the "old swimming hole" is surrounded with many more ethical environments than the mere tying of a shirt-tail. In most "holes" a boy must pick-up bottom, tread water, dive from the spring board, "stay in the longest," go in at least once a day, have a sunburned back, a clam-shell cut, moss in the hair, sore eyes, shriveled skin, an absence of fear, and a disposition to "duck" all weaker members of the school of boys. In the epigrams of Martial is found this: "You see those fish before you, a beautiful example of the sculpture of Phidias; give them water, and they will swim." It is only in late years that men show a disposition to be fish, but certain it is in their boyhood days, "give them water, and they will swim." The tortoise is not more in its element than lads in brooks with sandy, shelving shores. Dare upon dare, shout upon shout, feat upon feat, and now and then a wrangle, is born in midstream. Hearts are as light as the merest debris that flutters by on the dancing tide. What is there about life that takes the effervescence of happiness from the heart and causes man to look backward to his bathing days in the "old swimming hole" for inspiration and distraction? Do your thoughts ever ask that question, and do you never long with Mark Lemon thus: "Oh, would I were a boy again, When life seemed formed of sunny years. And all the heart then knew of pain Was wopt away in transient tears?" Or did the knot in the tail of your shirt prove too great for your adolescent powers and leave you only sad memories of boyhood days? ```markdown ``` June is a gladstone month. There is no patent on this assertion. Along with Lowell's: "And what is so rare as a day in June? —it goes ringing down the corridors of time eternal. To be more fin de siecle, it goes winging through the lovers' lane of heart throbs. You know "we count time by heart throbs"—but let that pass. June is a month of roses, of daffodils, of humming birds, of buzzing bees, glistening dewdrops and sweet girl graduates who hitch their wagons to the stars without so much as a lease of proprietorship or a chattel mortgage! It is a month of brides and rice, of glorious skies and fish stories. Brocks set up a cheerful roundelay and groves rustle in pleasant cadence. A concord of perfume greets the nostrils and on the green-sward the small boys are digging the mumble-peg out of the sod with their noses and teeth, a la groundhog! The man who cannot be happy in Junetime is no gentleman. 999 A wife-hunting Italian marquis thinks $100,000 not enough money to go with the girl. Parents who have been striving to earn sufficient money to leave their daughters as a dowry adequate to catch a foreign title, should hustle lively. The tendency of the times is for higher prices. Pa should put in longer hours and try harder. It may put a crimp in his vertebra, but despite the fact that titles come high, we must have 'em. Otherwise, what shall we do with our daughters?

Equal Privileges for Our Exports in All the Markets of the World and no Tariff Discrimination for or Against Bide astitoee. ‘There is.no question that the United States can get all the reciprocity trea- ties it wants or can aspire to if it will to that end cut down suficiently its protective duties and make sacrificial offerings of its home industries. It may be claimed in many instances and perhaps proven in some that the par- ticular sacrifices demanded are small in comparison with the general advan- tage to be gained; but such reasoning will never be satisfactory to the indus- tries to be sacrificed or prejudiced, nor is it at all likely nor desirable that Congress will ever place unreservedly the power to slaughter protective du- ties in the hands of the President, who in the course of time and events might be actuated by an over-anxiety to make a reciprocity record or even by hostil- ity to protection asa principle. So the industries threatened defend them- selves through their friends in Con- gress and have the moral support out- side of people who without being well advised in the premises believe in fair play to every legitimate Ameri- can industry and view with instinctive suspician any proposition to find a foreign market for some products by impairing the home market for other products, From all of which it appears not merely that reciprocity, as it has been recently proposed, has failed to work, but that from the conditions surround. ing it it was from the start destined to failure, and may as well now be relegated definitely to the limbo of attractive but impracticable schemes. Acceptance of this situation should not, however, carry with it abandon- ment of efforts to promote the foreign trade and commercial expansion of the country. Rather should the frank rele- gation of any unavailable instrument make easier the search for an effective weapon for a most proper purpose. Reciprocity at best ‘is a piecemeal proposition, involving a haggle with each separate nation over the mutual concessions to be made, and by its nec- essary and interminable delays weary- ing its friends and -disgusting every one. The dignity of the United States and the practical necessities of the case alike demand the adoption of some policy that shall be susceptible of general application, that shall pro- tect the American producer and ship- per against petty exactions and dis- eriminations in foreign markets, and that shall, in short, compel in every quarter the “open door” for American trade, but that shall be content when that door is just as open to American trade as it is to any other trade. ‘The time was when the United States was not of sufficient commercial conse- quence to enable it successfully to in- augurate such a policy, but the time is when the United States with its im- mense population, unprecedented wealth and unapproached consuming capacity for nearly all. sorts of prod- ucts is in position, if it admits the products of another nation upon the same terms as it admits the products of all other nations, to demand from that nation like treatment for its own products. To ask more would be to ask what other nations are very likely prohibit- ed by their existing agreements from granting, but equality of treatment the United States may justly and should in self-respect insist upon, and the na- tion which denies this much should be made to pay upon all its exports to this country a discriminating duty, either uniform for all nations of its class or graduated according to the discriminations which American ex- ports suffer in its markets. By such policy of dignified insist- ance and retaliation must the United States in the end protect its interests in the markets of jealous nations, and with such protection assured there is every reason to anticipate that the era of American commercial expansion will soon appear to be only well be- -gun.—Nevada (la.) Representative. Montana Would Suffer. The people of Montana are interest- ed in the question, They have experi- enced the benefits of protection and have seen nothing to convince them that the trusts are so dangerous an@ domaging as ty demand that the pro- tective policy should be interfered with upon the excuse that the abolition. of duties would destroy trusts. As to reciprocity, among the treaties hung up in the Senate is one with the Ar- gentine Republic, opening our markets for Argentine wool and hides in return for opening the markets of that coun- try to the manufactures of the United States. This would mean ruin for the wool and cattle growers of the West in return for something to be gained by the Eastern manufacturers. . For- tunately the people of Montana and the West can depend upon a Repub- lean Congress to protect their inte-- ests and to consent to no changes in the tariff that would tend to make larger prosperity for one class at the expense of cther classes of Americans. —Helena (Mont.) Record. Our Annual Gift to Europe. The annual exodus to Europe has begun. A single steamship last week took a thousand first-class passengers and $500,000 in gold, which about cov- ers the expenditures of the tourists at an average of $500 each—a very con- servative estimate. Here we can ac- count for at least $75,000,000 a year of our favorable balance, and it must be remembered that this $75,000,000 or more is simply a gift to Europe for which we get no material commodities in return. It is spent in transporta- tion, hotels and sight seeing, most commendabie ways for those who can afford them. At the same time the millions are dumped into English and Continental pockets with no appreci- able return, All of which proves our wonderful prosperity and wealth under our excellent tariff, As to Cummins. ‘The “Iowa idea,” advocated by Gov. Cummins and his followers, if put into practice, will knock things end- wise in that state. If Gov, Cummins thinks for one moment that the Re- publican party is to be frightened tato adopting a free trade policy by his ranting he is greatly mistaken. Cth- ers have snarled and tried to flag the moon on this same line, but where are those fellows to-day? A little cheap notoriety for the sake of coming into the light will result to Cummins as that of the moth that hovers near the gas burner. He will soon disappear from the horizon as an enemy to his state and to this nation. No man can urge free trade for the United States and be a good citizen at the same time.—Pueblo (Col.) Opinion. A Loss of $10,000,000,000 a Year. ‘There were, according to the census, 29,074,117 persons engaged in gainful cecupations in 1900. There must be fully 22,500,000 new. The income of these people will certainly average over $2 a day, or $20,000,000,000 annu- ally altogether. The sum is probably nearer twice that amount. But sup pose we were to lower our tariff or abolish it as the free traders wish, our incomes would certainly but cut into and reduced by at least $10,000,000,000 a year. In ten years that would be a sum equal to our total wealth. Think of what the loss of $10,000,000,000 a year in incomes means. No wonder the great majority of the people want to let well enough alone, and put off revision either up or down till some years hence.

A Good Thing to Keep Out Of. ‘Tarif! discriminations and recrimi- nations have brought on a warm little row between Canada and Germany. Canada began it by giving Great Brit- ain a 33 1-3 preferential tariff rate on manufactured goods. Germany retali- ates by clapping higher duties on Can- adian wheat. It is a natural and in- evitable outcome of the system of pret- erential trade arrangements commonly called “reciprocity.” It is chiefly pro- duetive of reciprocal hatred and ill will. A good thing for any country to keep out of.

Le alo) mang THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Negroe's Contribution To The Future Race Assertion Of New York Divine Refuted On Scientific Grounds. Assimulation Is the " PROCESS of Adjustment or Accommodation Which Occurs Between Two Different Races 5TH YEAR. Negroe's Con To The Assertion Of N Refuted On Sci Assimulation Is t Adjustment or tion Which tween Differen m The New York Age. It was recently stated by an eminent and influential New York ergyman that the Negro race would never contribute anything toward the make up of the American race type of the future, and because of his physical characteristics he would therefore not be assimilated by the American nation. Assimilation is the process of adjustment or accommodation, which occurs between the memers of two different races. It is merely one element of race or nation accommodating it, to the harmonious relations of the other. It is more than a mechanical mixture. It is a chemical compound, a blending of the races. The philosophy of history and the teaching science of ethnology affirm that the assimilation of race contact for example the learned and intelligent Greeks, who came in contact with the Barbarian, first Hellenized them and then incorporated them into an integral part of the Greek speaking people. Likewise, the American nation, who, like the inhabitants of England, who Angliified the haughty Norman, will Americanize everything which is then to her customs, institutions and laws. Sciological observers have designated the processes of assimilation, which are at work every day. One is physiological interm arriage, and the psychic great, which is intellectual in its nature. The learned gentleman who diches out soft soap to this parishioners, instead of giving them law and gospel, is incapable of expressing an opinion on the subject of which he seems to show that he is a aided to the science of archaeology and ethnology. For example, Dr. Guissippi Sergi, the anthrologist in the University of Rome, Italy; the late Dr. Brinton of the Philaadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences; Prof. Wm. H. Holmes, head of the Bureau of American Ethnology; Miss Sarah E. Simons of Washington, D. C., and other eminent scientific observers of etnology, after painstaking investigation and researches, declare that America is destined to be destined to be peopled by a mixture of the races. One of the most recent contributions on this subject is by an observer, who has a article in the May number of the American Journal of Sociology (published by the University of Chicago Press, price 50 per copy). The title of the ar- ticle is "Social Differentiation and Integration," in which the writer says. "Great efforts are being made to prevent the mixing of the white with black races, but they are only partially successful." "The abolition of slavery has checked the process, but has not arrested it. Whatever may be the present condition of things, and however great may be the obstacles to race mixture it is clear that race integration will go on until the various races are blended into one perfect human race." It may be noted that the habit of living, education in the arts, science and industries; food, occupation, variation from the actinic rays of the tropical sun; and the observation of hygienic laws; and as Dr. Percie Roberts says, "a knowledge of the therapeutic value of soap and water," comb and tooth brush, will in time mopify the prominent physical characteristics of the cooled race. Then when the race has in it individuals who possess a good stiff bank account, the colored race becomes doubly attractive in the eyes of their neighbors. The mixture of the races is an inevitable consequence of race contact, and the "greater the number of points of contact between the races, the more rapid is the assimilation." And by the operation of this law there has resulted the production of about four million mulattos, all of whom are incorporated into the nation. So much for phyeliological assimilation. The intellectual process of race assimilation is dependent upon the forces and influences, such as education, identity of culture and the training of the races together; love for the same national language, ideals, traditions; a similarity of environments, religion, etc., influences the one element of the race to become "like minded" and harmonious. When there is a sameness of sentiment and fellowship feeling, contact of minds results. Where there is an affinity of tastes and admiration of qualities, a more perfect union between the white and colored races ensues. The coalesce and because of the numerical preponderance of the white race in America, upon which it will make but little physical impression, the white races will absorb the celored race * UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.

I, June 14 —A memorial monument to negro slaves and their descendants in recognition of valuable domestic and patriotic services before and during the revolutionary war, the first of its kind to be erected in the United States was dedicated here today. The memorial is a white quartz bowler, buttressed at the corners by large black stones, emblematic of the interdependent relations of the white and black races, and bears a tablet inscribed: "In memory of negro slaves and their descendants who faithfully served Barrington families." BRUTALITY IN BELLEVILLE That the spirit of savagery and barbarism is not confined to the white South or Russia was horribly manifested in the lynching of W.T Wyatt, a coloated school teacher of Belleville, Ill. Wyatt shot and dangerously wounded Charles Hertel, the county school supe intendent, because Herrel had refused to renew Wyatt's certificate as a teacher. Policeman and firemen held the mob at bay for two hours, and the mayor, and circuit judge and others urged the crowd to be law-abiding, but to no purpose. The guards were swept away by force of numbers, the jail was stormed and the prisoner hanged to a telephone pole. While he was yet alive, he was cut down, saturated with coa oil, and thrown into a fire. As he still showed signs of life, the mob beat him with clubs and hacked him with knives until the body lost all human resemblance. LIONIZING. Vale Negro Student—Financial Help Tendered Him by a Sister of President Roosevelt—Will Speak at Harvard. Wm. Pickins, the pale Negro student who won the Ten Eyck prize in the leading cratorical contest of the year, has received an offer of financial assistance from Mrs. Douglas Robinson, of New York City, sister of President Roosevelt. Pickens went to Newport to speak last week, and after his oration, Miss Lucy Giles, a millionaire's daughter was so deeply affected that she stuck a diamond pin in his coat. Pickens has been invited to go to Boston next week to speak a Harvard University on "Hayti." He has declined the offer to accept the presidency of Hayti after the conquest of the island by an army of American Negroes, who have been planning to attack. W. S. HENRION DRUGGIST 501 N. Main St. Wichita, Kans. Among the thousands that heard President Roosevelt speak at Springfield, Ill., was Company H, of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, which made such a creditable record in the Cuban campaign. On this occasion the President made the following notable utterances: "It seems to me eminently fitting that the guard around the tomb of Lincoln should be composed of colored soldiers. It was my own good fortune at Santiago to serve outside colored troops. A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is eutled to, and less than that no man shall have." That is all the race asks for, a square deal and no favors.

There is now, and has been for years, a system of practical peonage in the belt counties of Alabama, but it has been only in recent years that the hearts of men in the mountain counties of Alabama have come to be hardened to depriving men of liberty and justice through the forms of law. A Montgomery correspondent to a Memphis newspaper recently told of the case of Joe Patterson, colored who became the prey of the authorities at Goodwater, Goosa county, Ala., an adjoining county to the one in which lives the writer of this article. The Montgomery correspondent says: Patterson borrowed $1 on Saturday, promising to pay it the following Tuesday morning. Patterson did not get to town at the appointed time when, it is said, he was arrested, and carried before a justice of the peace who found him guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses without giving the Negro an opportunity of getting witne ses or a lawyer. A small fine was assesed. The Negro had no money, nor was he given an opportunity to get any with which to pay the fine and c'ss. He was at once sold to a man named Hardy for $25, who worked the Negro for about one year, in hardy sold the Negro to Pace for $40, it is claimed. The Negro worked a while for Pace, and in trying to escape cut a boat loose from its moorings. Upon his recapture he was given six months more for this offense. The Negro then entered into a contract for an additional year to pay a doctor's bill. In short, for the $1 originally borrowed the Negro would not have gotten out until the year 1906. The Negro was originally NO 4 arrested in Coosa county, and kidnapped into Tallapoosa county where he was sold accord to the report. The above recital by a democratic correspondent of a democratic newspaper is no "clap trap". It is not "political buncombe". There are a few men of the north and there are good men in Alabama who do not know the depravity to which this bourbon regime, the progeny of the slaveholding democracy has come. I is today under the law in Alabama a crime for a farm laborer (black) to quit his employer. He may be denied, he may be half fed, he may be beaten with a buggy trace, but if he fails to keep his contract then he is a criminal. There are back belt planters who do starve mistreat, abuse and beat men, and force them to break their contract in order to get them arraigned before some demon in white skin, but with a heart as black as hell itself; and another year of servitude is attached by a chain more galling than that of chattel slavery to the ankle of the black man. The case of Patterson is only one in a thousand, yes in ten thousand. It has come to light as one of the several outrages recently sprung in Goodwater only because Coosa county has not yet come to be accustomed to the ways of the black belt. The practice of peonage is only a thing of recent years in Coosa county. The writer of this article is familiar with the spirit, the mayor of the town of Goodwater, and this mayor would be complimented in his own estimation no high than to have it written that any Negro is no more worthy of human sympathy or political consideration than is any mule, and of less kind treatment than a good dog. The brother of this mayor is a registrar and party leader in the adjoining county of Clay, and his sentiments as to right and justice may be summed up by his assertion on that were Booker T. Washingto a resident of Clay county he could not register or vote. Here is given a snap shot at the standard of political morals in this state to which northern "doughfaces" would commit the destinies and liberties of men. Aere is the truth about the South that some men of the north would let alone. Here is the South that should be permitted to adopt its own course in settling the race problem! God forbid that men shall so forget God and humanity in these United States, in this land of liberty, as to descend to acquiesence in such a course of infamy and shame. JOSEPH C. MANNING, Alexander City, Ala., May 26. The statement that President Roosevelt 550,000 words on his western tour must excite Colonel Bryan's admiration, if it does not arouse his jealousy. A woman is never so lonely as when she knows a secret and has no one to tell it to. The average married man would rather move than go through a siege of housecleaning. The oyster is the one creature in all the world that doesn't look forward eagerly to an opening. It's as great a gift to listen to a funny story as it is to tell one—and a much more popular gift.

A surprising statement was made by Rev. K. C. Jaeger, pastor of the German Presbyterian Ebenezer church, Brooklyn, when lecturing on "The Origin of the Human Races." At the L bor Lyceum he said in the white race only can be found men, the crowning work of God's creation. Men enjoy the possession of a soul, and for millions of years before the creation of mankind Negroes, Malays, Mongolians and Indians might have been swarming over the world, but these being cannot be considered as men. Negroes and Malays have a good initiative ability, the pastor added, but they are not enabled to guarantee the progress of mankind. The Caucasian race only will survive and all non-Caucasian races will disappear. The Indians have almost perished, the Mongolians will perish by the fatal use of opium, and there is no hope for the other races. 20.65 Chicago, Ill. $20.65 and Return via FRISCO SYSTEM Account Summer Schools Tickets on sale June 14th, 15th, 40th and July 1st.

Phone 643 ESSON XII., JUNE 21—PAUL'S CHARGE TO TIMOTHY. Golden Text—"There Is Laid Up For Me a Crown of Righteousness"—2 Timothy 4:8—Last Words of Paul Before His Martyrdom. The Circumstances. In A. D. 64, "a new months after Paul's release, there forest forth at Rome that frightful con- scription which raged for six days, and was vast region of the city in ashes." Narrar. The Emperor Nero enjoyed a dreadful sight from a turret of his place. It was rumored that the im- ral monster had himself caused the imperal to avert this dark suspicion he laid on the innocent creatures. Paul was probably arrested on some charge connected with this per- secution. He was probably thrown into dark foul, lower dungeon of the living prison. Under these sad circumstances Paul was to Timothy this epistle, "the most wishing of all the Pauline writings" (誓章). Our lesson is a wonderfully comprehensible view of Christian work, its foundation, purpose, hindrances, and rewards, may be summarized under four rules. 1. First Rule: Abide in the Bible -Vs. 2. Scripture-knowledge is the foundation of Christian work. 3. "But continue thou." In contrast with the evil men Paul has been described "In the things which thou hast learned" Bible truths, including the angel Paul had taught him. "And hast you assured that from a child." "The angels mention five as the age at which children are to begin to read law." "Sneaker's Commentary." Proofs of the Inspiration of the Bible, the fact that Christ taught the doctrine. The marvelous spiritual power of the Bible. The impossibility that the Bible could have been written by the men wrote it unless they were inspired. The fact of miracles. The long course of suffled prophecy. The fact that the Bible exactly meets the needs of all names and races and all conditions and tasks of men. The mighty effects of the Bible in the history of the world and the progress of civilization. "And is profitable." Paul names four guys in which the Bible is of service: "For doctrine." For instruction—not evidence or history, but in the truths vealed religion of the Bible. "For reproof, of wrong ways of living thinking." (3) "For correction." For strong men back to right lives of living and thinking. (4) "For instruction in narratives." The training and disci- sion that belongs to and produces a noble life. "I that the man of God." The Christian pastor, dedicated to God and under authority. Every faithful Christian may win this title. "May be perfect" in the qualities and powers needed for its work. In second Rules: Tell Others Aboutrist-Yes 1-4. Having congratulatedmony on the foundation for work always laid in his character. Paul goes to define that work. "I charge thee, therefore." In view of all the opportunities Timothy has enjoyed Paul's adjuration includes four motives to idulity, applicable to us as with Timothy: (1) "Before God," was seeing eye upon Timothy, whose life was being saved by G and the Lord Jesus Christ, who should enclose the quick" (the living—those that are alive at his coming) "and the dead." G "At his appearing." Christ's glorious second coming, possible at any time, should spur Timothy to be a faithfuleward. (4) "And his kingdom," Timothy would do his work well because it would help to establish Christ's rule over earth, his kingdom of peace and rightness. Now follows Paul's famous definition of a Christian preacher, which is also applicable to all Christian workers. **1. "Preathe," proclaim like a herald, word, the gospel, "the word of God," proclaiming it is the Christian's chief faithfulness. It must be faithfully "Balmim," in season and out of season, reprove, ebuke, exert, with all long-suffering." **2. "For." The reason why Timothy should be urgent in delivering his message the opportunity is brief; for "the will come when they will not endure doctrine." Christian truth, unstratified, a hermetic vagaries and suspensions follows to destroy the strain of the mind. "But after their own shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears." **3. And shall be turned unto fables." Indelibly creates a vacuum, which supersedes immediately rushes in to fill books. **4. Thief Rule; Endure Hardships gravely. Vs. 5. 6. Timothy could not carry out these injunctions without making enemies. Paul now tells him how to谋对 opposition. "But watch thou in all things." *Endulge affections.* The notice of Timothy's release from an imprisonment, in 1532, hints of the young passover's hardships. *Everglest*: An evangelist was, technologically, an litterant preacher. "Make full of the thy ministry." Fully perform the task set thee; heap up a full measure of work. **& For I am now ready to be offered." Paul knew that Nero might kill him at any moment. "And the time of my departure is at hand." Fourth Rule: Remember the Reward. **& After the battle, comes the time of victory; after the cross, the crown.** Fourth Closing word bids Timothy, in the midst of all discouragements, work forward to the joys of the eternal reward. theforth." Paul's life-struggles were over, there remained only to receive "thee." There is laid up for a crown of righteousness, which the king of the righteous judges will call "the king." And not to me only." Paul would not seem for an instant to exalt himself among his brethren. "But unto all them also that love his appearing," all that looked towards with love of thy mercy to his second coming; that pray mercy to 'the kingdom come." Paul's last words to the shores, or the remainder of the Epistle is occured with personal greetings. This passed away one of the greatest of men, a man of affairs, an orator, a treasurer, a diplomat, a great traveler, the pioneer missionary, the greatest of the giants, a masterly pro- founder, philosopher, founder of church friend, humble follower of Jesus Christ. His identity, declared Dr. Joseph Parker, has only one purpose—holiness. Christianity begins in motive, but it ends in character, in manhood. We are to be perfect men in Christ Jesus; we are to be as He was on earth; we are to breathe His spirit, repeat His deeds, follow His footsteps, and represent Him to mankind, so that we cannot be Christ Himself, but we can be Christones, Christians, and we ought to be able to say—There you see as much of Christ as it is possible to see here and now.

There is practically no color line at Northwestern university Chicago if the precedent set by 2,000 students and friends of the institution holds true. The incident referred to was the public cheering of Lawyer Taylor, colored, and a member of this year's graduating class. Taylor is the only colored man who has thus far remained in the university long enough to be in line for a degree. In commendation for his struggle for an education, and his decision to return to the South and teach among the colored, he received an ovation that was accorded to no other member of the class. There are four other colored students in the university. One of them, George Fallner, distinguished himself, having appeared in the preliminaries of the Northern Oratorical league, where he won third third place. He is expected to win first honors in eratory next year. AGENTS WANTED We allow agents a big commission for their work. Write to-day for terms. Agents wanted in every town and city in the U. S.

At the University of Illinois are being fed six carloads of cattle for the purpose of ascertaining what grade of cattle will yield the most profit for the operation of feeding. These six carloads consist of sixteen steers each. They were purchased by Professor Mumford, who was careful to select steers for each lot that should be representative. The six grades were, the fancy selected, choice, good, medium, common, inferior. Every load is fed in paved lots of equal size provided with the same kind and amount of shelter and the same exposure. The rations fed to each are of the same kind and of the same amount to a thousand pounds live weight of cattle, except in such instances as the appetites of the cattle belonging to a certain grade clearly show that they are being overfed or underfed as compared with other grades of cattle used in this test. A committee of three expert buyers of live stock visits the station at intervals of one month and fixes the money value gain that each lot has made per 100 pounds during the preceding month. These three men are John T. Alexander, Geo W. Shannon and James Brown, all of Chicago. The experiment began November 29, 1902. The market value per 100 weight at the beginning of the experiment and the increase of value by May 16, was as follows: Lot Purchase Value. Increase. Fancy $4.75 $1.30 Choice 4.55 1.25 Good 4.20 1.20 Medium 3.85 1.20 Common 3.60 1.00 Inferior 3.35 1.15 A little examination of these figures shows that on the average a steer of the fancy lot cost $38.365 and was worth on May 16, $82.28, a gain in value of $43.915. A steer of the inferior lot cost $32.361 and was worth on May 16, $58.65, a gain in value of $26.289. But this is figured on a uniform market, which is correct so far as this experiment goes. But as a matter of fact the market has declined, and the fancy grades have suffered more than the inferior grades. It seems altogether likely that, owing to this state of the market, the inferior grade will prove the most profitable. But feeding experiments cannot be adjusted to fluctuations of the market, and much light is certain to be shed abroad by this experiment with carload lots. Cattie at Odebolt, Iowa. The Iowa Agricultural College is carrying on some elaborate experiments in cattle feeding at the Brookmont farm at Odebolt, Iowa. The farm furnishes the animals feed and labor and builds yards, sheds, and water tanks according to the plans furnished by the experiment station. The station determines the different lines of feeding to be followed, divides the cattle into suitable lots and details a representative to take control of the work. At the completion of the experiment, the data obtained is taken by the experiment station for publication, and the animals are returned to the control of the farm which markets them. Five hundred steers and five hundred hogs are now being fattened on the farm in these co-operative experiments. Three tests are being made in fattening steers, as follows: Acclimatization test, light and heavy ration test, supplementary feeds test. In the acclimatization test fifty head of southern steers are fed in one lot and fifty head of western steers in a second lot. Each lot is fed all the corn and wheat straw they will eat. The object of this experiment is to determine from what section of the country Iowa farmers will find it most profitable to buy steers to be fattened. Three lots of fifty steers each are fed in the light and heavy ration test. All lots are fed all the wheat straw they will eat. The maximum daily ration of the first lot will be 16 lbs. of corn per steer, of the second lot 20 lbs. of corn per steer, and of the third lot 24 lbs. of corn per steer. The object is to determine whether light, medium or heavy feeding of grain to fattening steers will give the greatest gains for feed consumed and the most profit. In the supplementary feeds test five lots of fifty steers each are fed. All lots are fed all the wheat straw they will eat. For a grain ration lot one is fed corn alone; lot two corn and linseed meal, lot three corn and cotton seed meal, lot four corn and Gluten feed, and lot five corn and blood meal, the latter containing 87 per cent protein. The object of this test is to determine the effect in fattening steers of supplementing corn with a feed rich in protein and also to test the influences in gains and quality of flesh of the different protein feeds. At the close of the feeding the 500 head will be shipped to Chicago and a slaughter test made with each lot by some leading packing house. In every lot one hog is kept for each steer to test the value of the droppings. The DAIRY From Farmers' Review: A dairy-man writes that he is selling cream to a grocer and a restaurant, that the cream tests from 25 to 27 per cent fat and is delivered daily. His customers complain that the cream is too thin, and he wants to know if there is some other way than by ageing the cream to get the desired body. He writes that by giving the cream age it is not fresh enough to endure the carelessness of the restaurant help and there are always complaints about the cream being sour when he attempts to hold the cream a day or so in order to thicken it before delivery to his customers. He asks if I cannot recommend some preservative, or presrvaline that is harmless and will not interfere with the whipping of cream. He says, "I have tried to get the grocer and restaurant man to use more care with the cream, but it is useless, hence the necessity for some sort of a preservative that will somewhat prolong the keeping qualities of the cream." My reply to this letter is that there is a law in this state forbidding the use of any kind of a preservative in either milk or cream. I do not know of anything that has been found, up to the present time, to be absolutely harmless to the consumer. I mean by this, that I do not know of any preservative that is offered by the trade that is harmless. There is a substance, however, which has been prepared for thickening cream and I think very likely it will answer the purpose of this man. It is what is called "Wisconsin Viscogen" and it can be obtained by writing to Chas. S. Baker & Co. Grand Crossing Station, Chicago. This is a powder that is sold in pound boxes and sent by mail. The powder is dissolved in water and the solution added to the cream. Directions for using it are sent with the powder. It is a fact that separator cream usually looks. thinner than gravity cream which contains the same percent fat. There is something about the mechanical separation which breaks up the cream and makes it look thinner than gravity cream. After such cream. is a day or more old its thickness resembles that of gravity cream, but many dealers can not wait for the cream to age for the same reason given by this man—E. H. Farrington, Wisconsin Dairy School. Feeding in Summer Drought Feeding in Summer Drought. From the Farmers' Review: The necessity of maintaining a normal flow of milk during a summer drought will be conceded by all who feed for profit. In complete soiling the Wisconsin Station shows that one acre of soiling crops equals two and one half acres of good bluegrass pasture for feeding dairy cows. Partial soiling is an economy that no dairy farmer should neglect. Supposing the drought to come about the 25th of June, your first substitute will be red clover, if you have it. Don't use rye; it will taint the milk. If clover is not on hand, sow Canada peas and oats, each one and a half bushels per acre. For a succession 15 or 20 days later, sow again. If the season proves wet, your first sowing of peas will be a failure, as far as the peas are concerned, for they will lodge and rot off. When cured before ripe enough to shell, this makes excellent winter feed, being rich in protein. Millet, sown one bushel to the acre about the middle of May, will be ready to succeed the peas and oats in 60 days. By this time King Corn has elevated his banner and should be given right of way. A plat of some of the early varieties of sweet corn, followed by another of Stowell's Evergreen, will carry you through until the field corn is right, and no waste land, for every one of the above mentioned makes good winter feed when cured in the proper condition. The silo is said to be the panacea for dry spells, but as I cannot speak from experience, "silence is golden." Hoping that the star of alfalfa will soon rise east of the Mississippi, meanwhile experimenting a little in that direction, we mainly rely on the method above set forth. Use brains. They are as necessary as feed. Weed out. Don't feed a cow that only returns seventy-five cents for a dollar's worth of rations. In your selections for mating in your herd, be an artist. Produce your ideal, and future generations will bless you for any progress made.—Granville Jones, Knox County, Illinois. Milk Exposed to Foul Odors. Besides bad fermentations, there is another cause of poorly flavored butter, says Oscar Erf. This comes from cream or milk having been exposed to foul odors, which are absorbed and given to the butter. The theory that milk does not absorb odors when warm and cooling has long been abandoned. Experiments show that milk in that condition is even more susceptible to odors than in any other state. In the ripening process this odor can be partly eliminated by aeration or by pasteurization of the cream, but in case of a bad fermentation some antagonistic germ must be added in order to check the progress of the undesirable one. This antagonistic fermentation is commonly known as a starter, and if properly prepared contains the right kind of flavor producing bacteria. The "face" of a fowl is the bare skin around the eye.

Passenger Agent, WICHITA Dr. Abernethy, a man proverbial intolerant of mere fads and crochets had yet a strong personal objection to sleeping in damp sheets. The Iron Duke (and it may be marked in passing that Lord Robert of our own day has a similar archeon) would grow quite unceasy if she up in the same room with a mad day. Sir Walter Raleigh had a maritime objection to prison life; and Lord Boreleigh, his great contemporary, never liked to slip off a curbstone with his tongue between his teeth—London Punch.
