THE SEARCHLIGHT. Wichita, Kansas, Sa urday Aug. 1, '03 Can the bartender be called a snake charmer? You may blow your own born, but don't toot your whistle. The Servian reignmakers may be useless in a drought district. You never hear anybody applauding the industry of the mosquito. If the problems solved by the graduates this month would only remain solved! What good will it do us if they have found the smallpox germ? We didn't lose him. Aquatic Harvard is beginning to realize that the amateur coach needs a lot of coaching. New York city has 1,320 millionaires, nearly all of them weak-chested, dyspeptic and irritable. Whether or not he gets the cup Sir Thomas is evidently going to give us a good scare this time. The powers have evidently decided to let Pete have the job as long as he is fool enough to risk it. Give a man what he wants most of anything in the world and in six months he will be tired of it. Irish members of the British parliament have almost forgotten how to get themselves put out of the house. Independence Hall is in Philadelphia. It is about the only sign of independence that Pennsylvania has left. "Women," says Judge Crane of New York, "should be made to think. The judge seems to be a man of extreme views. "John L.

The biggest hypocrite in this world is he who says grace over a three-pound roast that he has no intention of paying for. If Australians had read the Kansas newspapers during the last ten years they would not be subscribing money to the rainmakers. King Edward's grief over the death of Alexander is pathetic, but his friends hope it will not serve to pull him down much. J. B. Burdette, whose automobile raced the Pennsylvania flyer, doesn't take after his namesake, Bob, for beating the flyer is no joke. Another wonderful boy violinist from Hungaria is now in this country. His name is Kun Arpad. It sounds as if he ought to be a corker. Not having expected much, the constituents who got the short government packages of third-rate seeds were not greatly disappointed. Why does the government go experimenting around with all kinds of new-fangled guns for the army when it can get toy pistols at such low rates? A jealous New York lover shot his sweetheart, but her corset stayed the bullet. This is one of the worst knocks ever handed out to Dr. Mary Walker. Rigid economy is being practised in San Domingo. In choosing Gen. Gil as their president the people have shown that they have no intention of wasting words. One who remembers Emerson now recalls that when rallied on his fondness for pie, the sage replied, "What is pie made for if not to be eaten?" How paradoxical, yet how true! The Argentine government has put a price on the heads of natives, the government paying $5 for each head delivered. There are heads in this country that would be dear at that price. Pleasure is not all pleasure. Every victory has a dozen defeats back of it. The recollection of other disappointments is bound to have a tinge of bitterness, however sweet the gathered fruit may be. The police in Providence have found in a vacant lot a dress-suit case packed with both masculine and feminine apparel, and containing also a marriage certificate. Now they are looking for the bride and groom. A Boston policeman spelled a citizen's name "Jerymier" while making up a list of voters. And now they don't know whether to banish him to Chelsea or to use the new spelling as the nucleus for a universal language. Miss Sophie Hanks, now the happy bride of Marshall P. Wilder, the humorist, says that she didn't feel obliged to get her father's consent to her marriage, because her father had remarried about two years ago without consulting her. That's reciprocality Largest Elephant Known. There has recently arrived in Germany the hide of an elephant that was 16 feet 9 inches high, this being over three feet above the largest elephant ever known hitherto. Capitulated. A Philadelphia mother spanked her laughty 4 year old, and set off a bunch of pistol caps in his hip pocket. The young patrol was hoist by his own petard, and immediately acknowledged his dependence on the mother country. —Toledo Blade. Wireless Telegraph Service. Since the great volcano disturbances in the Windward Islands it has been impossible to maintain unbroken cable connections between the islands of Martinique and Guadaloupe, and the French government has established a wireless telegraph service between the two. The distance exceeds 100 mila Use American Implements Not only are American mowers, harvesters and hay rakes in use in all the farming districts of South Germany, but our smaller agricultural implements, such as forks, garden and tawn rakes, hoes, shovels, spades and hand potato diggers, have also rapidly grown in favor, and are now on sale in nearly every local hardware store. Unique Spirit of Loyalty. It is not all war in the industrial world. Here are 6,000 employees of the United States Express Company volunteering to furnish pieces of skin for the benefit of Assistant General Superintendent Fredericks, who was scalded in a train wreck. There is still something left of the old human relations between captains and privates of industry. A Fearful Thought. Intelligence that a young woman has chased Sir Thomas Lipton into a corner and kissed him several times will excite the haunting dread that the cup litter may yet be seen prowling around the country emulating the osculatory performances of Richmond Pearson Hobson. It was the same kind of experience that started that hero on his devastating career. A Mystery of the Season No one has ever clearly explained why, at this season of the year, a girl whose skin would be hopelessly ruined were she to roll up her sleeves and put her hands into a dishpan half full of water for a few minutes, can play golf or tennis, bare-armed, all day long, or go into the water bathing morning, noon and night, and be proud of the color she acquires in so doing. Why is it, girls? Don't all shout the answer at once. Found a Friend. Valley City, N. Dak., July 27th.—Mrs. Matilda M. Boucher of this place tells how she found a friend in the following words: "For years I suffered with a dizziness in my head and could get nothing to cure me till about two years ago, when I was advised to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. These pills cured me before I had used the whole of the first box, and I haven't been troubled since. "In January of this year I had an attack of Sciatica that made me almost helpless, and remembering how much Dodd's Kidney Pills had done for me before, I sent and got some and began to take them at once. "In three weeks I was well, and not a trace of the Sciatica left, and I have been well ever since. "Dodd's Kidney Pills have certainly been of great benefit to me. I have found them a friend in time of sickness, and I will always recommend them to every one suffering with the troubles that bothered me." Barbers Necessary. According to a Dublin scientist, who has spent considerable time in making the necessary calculations, a man's beard grows on an average about three millimetres a week. At this rate it would increase about sixteen centimetres every year, and thus, at the age of eighty-four, a man who had never shaved would be equipped with a beard about twenty-seven feet in length.

A correspondent in Belgrade writes: "The bitterest sarcasm on the Servian situation was made by an Englishman who has a smattering of the language. In the park there was a notice stating that something or other was stricly forbidden. I asked him what it was. 'So far as I can make out,' he replied, 'it says: "You are stricly forbidden to kill kings in the park. There is a palace specially provided for the purpose."" SEEING THINGS. PROTECTION PROSPERITY TARIF REFORM IOWA PROSPERITY IOWA OBSERVATORY --- THE TARIFF BURDENS NOBODY SEEMS ABLE TO FURNISH SPECIFICATIONS. Easy to Assert That Industry Is Oppressed Because of Protection, But Much Easler to Prove the Blessings It Has Conferred. Alluding to the report that the president and some others have prevailed upon Gov. Cummins to abandon "the Iowa idea," at least until after the next presidential election, the New York Evening Post says: "It is not to be inferred that the "Iowa idea" has undergone any change or that Gov. Cummins has retracted one jot or title of his own previous sayings. Nor can such changes take place while the tariff burden resting upon western industry continue to weigh upon it. Petitions from makers of agricultural implements calling for relief from the duties on iron and steel and a great variety of articles which have been monopolized by trusts are now in circulation. They will be presented to Theodore Roosevelt and to the congress of the United States as soon as the latter come together in regular or special session. They embody 'the Iowa idea,' and they will disturb the harmony of the party in many places before the delegates are elected to the next national convention." It is a fault of free traders, in which class we do not hesitate to include Gov. Cummins, because if he had his own way he would destroy our protective policy by radically changing it for the benefit of foreigners and some selfish home interests, that they deal in generalities and carefully omit particulars. The Evening Post illustrates this trait in the above extract from its columns. What are the "tariff burdens" which now rest upon "western industry?" In what way is the west now burdened by any of the schedules of the Dingley tariff? All of them, working together, have been powerful factors in creating for this country in the six years since they have been in force the most marvelous and most general prosperity in that this country has ever known. SEEING TOWA PRODUCTION RECUPROOF The west has abundantly shared in this prosperity. No western industry has been oppressed by the Dingley tariff; all western industries have been helped by it. It is true that some western and eastern agricultural implement manufacturers, not satisfied with the control of the magnificent home market for they products which they have long enjoyed, and being themselves free traders, would still further increase their profits by enlarging their foreign markets through reciprocity at the expense of their own countrymen who do not make agricultural implements, but who do make other things. But these embodiments of the most brazen selfishness that the world ever knew can not truthfully say that the Dingley tariff has been a "burden" to them. It has immensely helped them, and well they know it. But the Dingley tariff has not helped selfish agricultural implement manufacturers or their selfish interests in the east or west to close American iron and steel works, or helped them through reciprocity to substitute the wool of the Argentine Republic for that of American farms, or to substitute French gloves and brushes and glassware and other French products for the products of our own factories. All these and similar absent features of the Dingley tariff are not "burdens." As well say that the laws which are intended to restrain the enemies of society from the commission of crime are "burdens." In addition to controlling the home market absolutely, and charging for their reapers and mowers and threshers and plows and cultivators such prices as they care to exact, our agricultural implement manufacturers have been steadily extending the foreign market for their products ever since the Dingley tariff became a law, as the following official figures will show. Our experots of agricultural implements amounted in the calendar year 1902 to $17,981,597, against $16,714,308 in 1901, $15,979,909 in 1900, $13,594,524 in 1899, $9,073,384 in 1898, and $5,302,807 in 1897. To increase these exports more than three fold in five years does not look as if our agricultural implement manufacturers had been carrying many "burdens" in their export trade under the Dingley tariff. We do not believe that the west wants the free trade policy of Grover Cleveland, or any policy approximating it, to be substituted for our present protective policy. Under this latter policy it has no "tariff burdens" to complain of—only tariff blessings to be thankful for.—Iron and Steel Bulletin. All Records Beaten We never sold so many products of American manufacture to foreign nations in one month as in the last April—the month of March and April, 1900, alone excepted. And yet the Democratic free traders again want to tinker the tariff in order further to increase our export trade. In 1893-7 the tariff reformers got in work in economic law which they thought would increase our foreign trade. The net result was they despoiled our domestic trade and at the same time home manufactures failed to get a foreign market such as we now have under the Dingley tariff. On the only occasion in two generations of American politics when the Democratic party had opportunity to show for what purpose it existed, a Democratic President and congress not only failed to effect good results, but actually succeeded in bringing disaster on all American interests. The less the Democratic tariff reformers now say about promoting our foreign trade by tariff tinkering the better, especially as under the present tariff all records are being beaten in the history of our exports, alike of manufactures and of the products of the farm—Boston Herald. MAIDEN FIRST VOTERS. Colorado Women Display Interest in the Next Presidential Contest. A unique and interesting feature of the campaign of education inaugur- THINGS. PROTECTION PROSPERITY IOWA OBSERVATORY ated by the American Protective Tariff League, with reference to the contest of 1904, is furnished in the returns from Colorado. In that state unrestricted woman suffrage prevails and among the lists of persons who will cast their first vote in a presidential election next year are a large number of young women. Here indeed is a fruitful and inviting field. What more necessary, more useful, more profitable or more agreeable work could there be than to provide with Protection literature the thousands of fair ones who will next year be the "first voters" in Colorado? And where moreover, could the good seed of sound doctrine be more advantageously scattered? Women are vitally concerned in tariff matters, for they are the chief sufferers when free trade hard times take the place of protection prosperity. Truly a pleasant task it will be to aid in rightly directing the political steps of the budding electresses of the Rocky Mountains. If further proof were needed of the value and utility of the "first voters" plan, this would settle it! Ready to Meet It. "Can the tariff issue be suppressed?" asks the New York Journal of Commerce. Suppressed by whom? Republicans do not ask to have it suppressed. They have not raised the issue and would be glad enough to have the tariff let alone and protection go on its prosperity-making way for an indefinite term of years. But, if the free traders and tariff reformers insist upon forcing the issue, Republicans are ready to meet it. It is an issue which they have no need to shirk or evade. All the strength of the situation is on the Republican side. Democrats will make the tariff an issue. They always have, and always will, we suppose. Very well, let them do it again in 1904. Republicans will welcome the tariff issue. They will not lift a finger to suppress it. DAIRY Chicago Has New Dairy Laws. The Chicago city council has just passed some new and stringent laws relating to the milk traffic. There has been for a long time much complaint of the very loose way in which milk was bought and sold in that city. Its handling was often conducted under conditions that were likely to make milk a conveyor of disease. Moreover, in some of the poorer localities the milk sold for whole milk was both skimmed and watered. In many cases it was so nearly sour that its use for children's food resulted in much sickness and some mortality. The new laws create a milk and food department in the board of health. One of the most startling innovations is the rule that all cans containing skim milk shall be painted bright red. This is because the sale of skim milk has been largely conducted under the pretense of selling whole milk. It is not desired to prevent the sale of skim milk, but only to prevent its sale as unskimmed milk. The cleanliness of cans and other milk-holding utensils is to be rigidly enforced. Mixtures of any two or more of the following articles is prohibited: Whole milk, skimmed milk, cream, condensed milk and buttermilk. Cans containing any one of the foregoing are required to be labeled in three-inch letters. The caps of bottles are similarly required to be stamped. The test provided for milk is 3 per cent butter fat and 9 per cent other solids, a total of 12 per cent solids. For cream the minimum fat must be 15 per cent. No skim milk can be sold if it contains less than 8.5 per cent of solids, including butter fat. Watered milk, adulterated milk and impure milk will not be permitted to be sold at all, nor can the milk be sold from cows diseased or kept in a filthy condition or fed on slops or refuse. Any attempt to sell such milk will result in a fine of from 5 to $200. Impure or condemned milk must be destroyed. Cow stables must be washed daily and diseased animals must be kept away from the well ones. Refuse matter must not henceforth be stored in dairies. As a notice that the laws adopted Monday last are to be enforced, the milk inspectors on Tuesday seized twelve cans of watered milk and poured their contents into the gutter. The men that sent them cannot be fined, as they are outside the jurisdiction of the city. It is doubtful, however if they send any more watered milk to Chicago. Errors in Milk Testing. Professor Eckles of the Missouri station says: If cream is tested by measuring out with the 17.6 c. c. pipette, as is done with milk, the reading will be too low for two reasons. The basis of the Babcock test is 18 grams. The 16.7 c. c. pipette delivers this weight of milk, but as cream is more adhesive than milk, a considerable amount will stick to the pipette. In sour or thick cream this error may be as much as 1.5 per cent. This error is easiest removed by filling the pipette about one-third full of warm water, shaking to loosen the cream from the sides, then adding this to the cream in the bottle. The other cause for error is on account of the lightness of the cream, as compared with milk. A 17.6 c. c. pipette full of cream does not weigh quite 18 grams, the regulation amount, but somewhat less, depending upon the richness of the cream. If it is necessary to have an exact test of cream, it can be obtained best by using delicate scales and weighing out the desired amount. Scales especially arranged for this purpose can now be purchased at a reasonable price. The temperature at which cream bottles are read is of great importance. A difference of over 1 per cent can be made by changing the temperature from 110 degrees to 180 degrees; extremes often met with in various testers. The exact temperature at which reading is correct has not yet been determined, but should be somewhere about 120 degrees. The best way to get bottles at a proper temperature is to set them in a pan deep enough to bring the water up near the top of the bottle. Grading Up. From Farmers' Review: In grading up a herd I start with ordinary cows, but always with a full blooded sire and, by the time his get is old enough for breeding, I change my sires, only using the same one two years. By the eighth cross you have as near a full blood as can be, unless it be a thoroughhred. For a general purpose cow I would rather have the cross, my choice for a general purpose cow being the Durham.—L. H. Allen, Clinton County, Michigan. To Keep Milk Cans Clean. From Farmers' Review: On return of cans from factory, empty at once, wash cans thoroughly with warm water, then put in boiling water, put covers on, let stand five minutes, empty and wipe dry, put in sun and let stand until milking time, rinse with cold water and use. In case the cans should be sour, add a teaspoonful of soda to the boiling water—H. H. Mormey, Van Buren County, Michigan.

The irrigation works recommended by the Geological Survey give interest to the report on the irrigation works of India. The net revenue to the government was 7.36 per cent on an outlay of $110,000,000. The value of the crops raised on the irrigated area during the year is estimated at $135,000,000—a sum in excess of the capital outlay. Have Built Many Churches The Christian Endeavorers of America have built twenty-nine churches in destitute portions of the United States. Twenty-one of these have been built by the Christian Missionary League of the Reformed Church in America. The Christian Endeavor gifts from this denomination during the past year amounted to $10,477. Projectiles Used by the Navy. Four classes of projectiles are used in the United States navy—armor piercing projectiles for use against armor, common shell for use against unarmored or very thinly armored parts, shrapnel for service against exposed detachments of men a considerable distance away, and canister, which is employed against detachments of men lacking protection within close range.

They were fellow guests one evening and after dinner the count offered the cardinal his snuffbox. The lid opened with a spring and disclosed an exquisite Venus painted in terribly frank fashion. Cardinal Pecci looked steadily at the painting for a moment, then he leaned his head to one side slightly as if to get a better focus, the other guests meanwhile standing breathless. Finally the cardinal raised his eyebrows in questioning fashion and said to the count sweetly: "Madam la comtesse?" ("Your wife?") WILL BE BRIGADIER GENERAL Colonel Thomas H.

Dr. Buckley's Neat Retort Here is a little story about Dr. Buckley, the famous Methodist editor, orator and wit, who was a leading figure at the Epworth league convention in Detroit. Dr. Buckley was a speaker at the recent alumni luncheon at Wesleyan. He began, as usual, in a low tone; and, almost immediately an overanxious undergraduate who was looking on from the gallery, called out "Louder!" without changing his pitch. Dr. Buckley retorted: "That young gentleman will be able to hear me distinctly if he will only use the full length of his ears." Maryland's Ex-Governors. Maryland has three living ex-governors—William Pinkney White, John Lee Carroll and Eliuh E.

MUCH ARID LAND RECLAIMED. Irrigation Has Proved of Great Value to Idaho. As a result of the most successful engineering work yet done for the reclamation of arid lands, 260,000 acres of land in Idaho have been thrown open to settlement. These lands lie in the valley of the Snake river, in Lincoln and Cassia counties. Through what is known as the Twin Falls canal, the waters of the Snake river are to be lifted 38 feet, and through 100 miles of main canal and 1,000 miles of laterals spread over 700 square miles of desert. By this enterprise sources of agricultural wealth in Idaho, which have long iain dormant, will be developed. According to plans 268,000 acres of land from the Public Domain will ultimately be brought under irrigation. According to the terms of the contract with the state and national governments the canal on the south side of the Snake river will be 65 miles long, 90 feet wide on the bottom at the head, gradually narrowing to 15 feet at the other end. It will have a grade of one foot in 5,000, will carry water 9 feet in depth and have a capacity of 3,000 feet. ROAD ACROSS THE DESERT. Arid Colorado Plain Will Soon Be Traversed by Fine Boulevard. Work is now in progress in southern California upon a boulevard intended to pass through the Colorado desert in a straight line from the projected town of Rockwood to Calexico, on the Mexican border. It will be 100 feet wide and thirty-five miles long. Along either side of the boulevard and down the center will be rows of trees to shut off the glare of the desert sun. Also on either side will be small canals, which will not only irrigate the shade trees, but also will be utilized to lay the dust, when the road is completed. It will require only two men to care for the entire thirty-five miles. The rapid growth of trees in the desert country will insure a magnificent avenue in a very short time. At the international line 14-month-old willows are growing on the banks of the imperial canal seven inches in diameter and thirty feet high. The boulevard will give access to the towns of Rockwood, Grawley, Imperial, Sillsbee, Calexico, Mexicala, Mexicula and many new villages.

Have you made up your mind?" The other, who has been more prominent as a journalist than as a politician, replied that he had. "Well, what are you going to do?" questioned the other, "of course as a conservative—well, what are you going to do?" The reply came, "I'm quite determined—absolutely determined—to nail my colors to the fence." London Standard.

Medicine did not help me any until a comrade who had been helped by Peruna advised me to try it. I bought some at once, and soon found blessed relief.

The people of Indianola, Miss., now getting their mail 'y carr from Heathman, and maintain private office for distribution at expense of the citizens. Indianola it will be r called, was for a time a center of interest because of an agitation to remove the red postmistress, but was evently compelled to close the post. Since that time the people Indianola have been getting mail by way of near by towns. Finally, Indianola is not on the map. in organizing a mail system of his own it might be supposed that the people of Indianola would settle once the race question. Since any objected to receiving their mail a colored postmistress it was natural to suppose that in starting private mail delivery only whites would be employed. Yet the news come from Indianola that the mail that point is delivered by a ne- wo named Will, hired by the citi- ness. "Our mail," says the editor of Sunflower Tosin, published at Indianola, "is brought to us from Madison, four miles west of Indianola. Since Jan.

Son.e of the Things Not to Do if You Wish Good Health. Don't eat when very tired, if you expect to get any good from your food and preserve your beauty. When you are exhausted lie down for ten or twenty minutes before eating. Don't eat more than one hearty meal a day. This is the secret of good looks, health and long life—a secret, which, if everyone followed the doctors could not make a living. Don't eat much meat in hot weather if you would keep your skin free of eruptions. Don't eat hot or fresh bread if you want to be healthy and beautiful. Don't eat cold, starchy foods like potato salad and cold porridge unless you have strong digestive organs. Don't eat ice cream too fast. Eat slowly and allow to melt in the mouth it can do no harm to either stomach or complexion. Don't drink iced water. It kills more persons than strychnine does. Cool water quenches thirst much better than ice cold fluid. Don't drink much water at meals but take a glassful the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night if you want peach cold cheek Don't drink too much coffee or tea unless you want a complexion like leather in color. Don't drink sparkling waters and unsweetened lemonade if you want to gain flesh. They act directly on fatty tissue. Don't eat potatoes, peas, macaroni, cream, o'live oil, pastry and boobons if you want to lose flesh. Don't go to bed hungry. A glass of milk or a cup of chocolate will refresh you. Don't think you can eat too much spinach, lettuce, water cress, dandelion and carrots. They are splendid complexion beatifiers. NEGRO PROBLEM. Pungent Extracts From an Address Delivered by Hon. Chas. Gardner of New York In 1860 the slave states held 4,215,615 Negroes and the rest of country 236,216 or 1.2 per cent of its population. In 1901 there were 80,061 Negroes in the former slave states, the rest of the country 759,-788 or 1.5 per cent of its population a relative increase in forty years of merely three-tenths of 1 per cent. There are now in the free states of the Mississippi only 162,613 Negroes and in New England only 59,089. Thus the Negro "is today, where they have always been in the old slave states. Moreover he has not moved north ward, but since emancipation he has steadily moved southward, gradually segrating himself into the lower Atlantic and Gulf states, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. In many counties of these states black outnumber whites three to one, while throughout the six states taken as a whole, Negroes today exceed the whites. In the states however bordering these to the north and west whites have increased since the war 140 per cent while Negroes have increased 80 per cent. WICHITA. KANSAS. AUG 1 1903. SUCCESSFUL NEGRO BOYS. These Two Bought and Paid for a Farm of 320 Acres. Booker T. Washington in World's Work. After having spent several years at the school, during which they worked upon the school farm, Frank and Dow L Reid left Tuskegee at the completion of the B middle class. Frank, the older brother left in the year 1888, and Dow in the year 1891. Before coming to Tuskegee these young men lived upon a rented farm with their father, but on returning home they decided to buy a farm of their own. They entered into an agreement to purchase a farm of 320 acres, four miles from the old homestead, and with little or no money but with a determination to succeed, they began to cultivate the land. They agreed to pay $5.50 per acre for the place and regardless of the fact that they had little at the time they bought the farm, within a few years the whole amount of $1,700 was paid. In addition to this farm the Reid brothers, as they are styled for miles around have bought another farm of 225 acres at $10 per acre. This farm is about two miles away from the first place mentioned. When the last payment upon this last purchase is made in the fall, after the crops have been gathered and marketed, it will make a total of 4 010 made and paid for land alone by these young men since the younger one left Tuskegee some 12 years ago. The stock and farming implements upon these farms are far superior to those seen upon most of the plantations. On the farm of 320 acres are seventeen fine horses and mules, all large and in go'd condition; these are thirty well bred cows and fifty fine healthy looking hogs, besides a large number of chickens and guinas which furnish plenty of eggs for the families use. The farming implements, including plows, mowers, rakes, harrows, etc. are of the latest improved Deering make. The four double wagons, the single top buggy, the road wagon and go cart are all in good order and are kept under cover when not in use. Not infrequently do we find farmers in the South, who, when the crop is made, leave the plows, the rake and in fact all the farming implements standing out in the field in all the weather during the winter months. A visitor to the Reid brothers plantation, however will not find this to be true with regard to their farm machinery. Each piece of machinery on this plantation has a place under a shed built for the purpose, and is kept there when not in use. A large cotton gin with an eighty tooth saw is owned and operated by these young men. Last year, besides ginniag the 125 bale of cotton raised upon their own plantation, they immed the cotton raised by nearly all the other farmers in the neighborhood. W. M.

"To Live and Let Live," is OUR Motto. Because two men said that W. N. Miller used "profane language" to them in his, W. N. Miller's office; Miller has been suspended from the Knights of Pythias for 99 years. That is all right, gentlemen, why did you not just make it 999 years while you were about it? It would have been just as easy. After five charges—all of which the committee found to be false, was made against W. N. Miller by John Lewis and Bert Glover in the Grand Lodge. The committee found Miller not guilty in each one—and so reported. But the thing was, pre-arranged, and the committee's report was disregarded, and Miller suspended for 90 years. What that hanging over our head we are the same as we ever were. We can get stand a few more of the lies of these men, go on your way, you may have easy selling new, but it is an "ill wind that blows nobody good." We have no sore spots about us, and we take this unjust and unlawful act gracefully. We have only to say that we are still here. We looked for this and it came as no surprise. When the law is laid aside by a tyrant in the presiding chair how can any man who may oppose oppression hope to gain justice. With things as they existed then we are not sore. We are glad that the suspension was not for defrauding the grand lodge or any subordinate lodge out of one cent, it was not for violating any grand lodge law, it was not for assaulting any person, it was not for invading the homes of any knight, it was not for spoiling the virtue of any knight's wife or daughter, it was not because we were guilty of anything, except talking in a very rough manner in our own office to two men who came there to meddie in business of which they were not concerned. And we did not only do so then, but would do so again under a like circumstance. If these men do not want people to talk rough to them in other people's place of business let them stay away and mind their own business. As we have said we have no sore spots. We will take one dose of medicine—it is a pretty good sized dose—but we will swallow it just the same, and we will not be made sick over it either. TO OUR READERS. Beginning with this issue of the Searchlight we will begin to do real business. We will start our collector out about Aug. 15th and we trust that all will be prepared to pay something on their account. We have been very good in the way of collections and we trust that all our patrons will be the same to us. We do not ask any to pay for any time which they have not received our paper. We only ask them to pay for what they have already got. During our time of publication here the people have been very good to us, and we trust they will do so in the future. Look for our collector any time after Aug 15th. We ask all our patrons who can to call at our office and pay. We will highly appreciate this act. Jasl. H. Guy, Drs.

Just think of it, a man is suspended from an order for 90 years because he tells another man that it is none of their d——n business, that he brought a suit against another man." Does that seem right? Does it seem that the man suspended is given fairness? When all the facts are stated it will be seen. Eigth Annual Session Will Meet at Colorado Springs, Colorado August 3, 4, 5, 1903.

What have the colored people to gain by the prolongation of their fights, one against the other. The truth of the matter is that none of them have anything over which to fight. None of them have anything to gain by the continuation of the fighting. They may get revenge, as it is said, but how far does that go and to whom is there a benefit? As little as they may think they only make their own lot and that of the race harder by their "fights." Braitsch's 120 E. Douglas Avenue. FOOTWEAR Is Always Reliable CHURCH DIRECTORY St. Paul A. M.

Anyone, upon opening after death the body of a hen, will find a cluster of eggs in formation much like a bunch of grapes, and called the ovarium (see cut). These, however, are not rudimentary eggs, says the Agricultural Gazette of New South Wales. Each of these eggs is contained within a thin, transparent sac and attached by a narrow pipe or stem to the ovary. These rudimentary eggs have neither shell nor white, containing wholly of yolk, on which floats the germ of the future chicken; and as they become larger and larger they arrive at a certain stage when, by their own volition, weight or other cause, they become individually detached from the bunch, and fall into a sort of funnel leading into a pipe or passage way called the oviduct—this organ in the hen being from 22 to 26 inches long. During the passage of this egg or ovum to the outer world it becomes coated with successive layers of albumen—the white—which is secreted from the blood-vessels of the oviduct in the form of a thick glial fluid, and is prevented from mixing with the yolk by the membrane or sac which surrounded it before it became detached from the cluster. It is also strengthened by a second and stronger membrane, formed around the first immediately after falling into the funnel, and having what is like two twisted cords of a more dense albuminous character, 6 The OVITARY AND OVIDUCT OF A LAYING HER called by anatomists chalazes, which pass quite through the white at the ends, and being, as it were, embed- ded therein, thus preventing the yolk and germ from rolling about when the egg is moved, and serving to keep the germ uppermost, so that it may best receive the heat imparted during incubation. It is during the passage of the egg through the lower part of the oviduct that it gets covered with the two skins which are found inside the shell. These, although lying close around the egg, at the thick end become separate, and form what is called the air-bubble or chamber. When the egg has advanced more than halfway down the oviduct, it is still destitute of shell, which begins to be formed by a process of secretion, and when about completed the various shades of brown and tinted coloring matter is imparted in those breeds in which colored eggs are peculiar. The Status of the Grange. In the quarterly bulletin issued when the year begun, Editor Batchelder said: The grange enters upon the new year in splendid condition in all sections of the country and prepared to fight the battles of the farmers in every legitimate manner. The success of the organization in 1902, both in membership and influence, has given the members renewed courage and increased vigor from ocean to ocean, and will stimulate them to still greater work in the year to come. It has finally dawned upon the people of the country that this organization has assumed a permanent character, which is to be treated with all the respect and consideration accorded older and more pretentious organizations. It has taken its place by the side of the school as an educational factor, next to the church as a great power, and has demonstrated its right to a place in the front ranks of the world's numerous and worthy fraternal organizations. The grange has won this reputation by an honest, earnest, straightforward course, neither catering to the sympathies of people by the advocacy of specious measures, nor deceiving the people by shifting its course with every shift in public sentiment. For several years this organization has proclaimed to the world its position in legislative matters, and has not had occasion to recode from the position taken upon any of them. This is more than can be said of any of the leading political parties of to-day. B. F. McLEAN, LUMBER = DIE YARDS AT Wichita, Clearwater, Peck, and Cheney, Kansas. CHAS. A.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON V., AUG. 2—SAMUEL, ANOINTS DAVID. Golden Text—"Man Looketh on the Outward Appearance, But the Lord Looketh on the Heart."—1 Samuel, 16: 4-13—David's Exaltation. 1. "First Step in David's Exaltation. Samuel turned from the Past to the Future."—1 Sam. 16: 1-3. It was natural that Samuel should be bowled down with grief after Saul's disobedience and hypocrisy had disclosed the fatal weakness of his character, and God had uttered the sentence of condemnation. But at this sadstest hour of the prophet's life God came, as he always does come to his children in their distress. The Lord hade Samuel to cause more for Saul, his long horn with anointing oil, and go to Jesse at Bethlehem, one of whose sons was to become king in Saul's stead. II. "Second Step in David's Exaltation. The Sacrifice at Bethlehem."—Vs. 4. 5. Resigning his will, and sadly abandoning the king who had so won his affection, the obedient prophet followed Jehovah's instructions. 4. "And came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town, the shepherds, with Jesus among them. "Trembled at his coming. And said, Comest thou peaceably?" Illustration. "Hundreds of years after this, when the heavenly light was seen in the same place by the shepherds, they, too, were 'sore afraid'; but there was as little to fear in the one case as in the other; for in both there was a provided sacrifice, and in both the mission was one of peace; yea, as Samuel came to anoint Jesus, and as Jesus almed Jesus appeared to make us kings and priests unto our Lord and his Father."—William M. Taylor. 5. "To sacrifice unto the Lord." The sacrifice consisted of a feast, certain portions of which were set aside and consecrated to the Lord, in token of his communion with his people. "Sanctify yourselves." "That is, wash your whole person and put on clean clothes."—Gelikle. The ceremony was symbolic of inward purification, and the sacrifice. "Probably the sacrifice was not till the next day."—Cook. "Aid he sanctified Jesse and his sons." Illustrations. God's children may sometimes, think that his providences are working against them; but his ways, says Richard Sibles, are like the wheels of a watch, which move contrary one to another, some backward, some forward, yet the watch as a whole is constantly moving forward. 4. "Inward Step in David's Exalation. The Seven Sons Rejected."—Vs. 6-10. The lads were hastily summoned from their various tasks—all but David—and passed in review before the prophet. 6. "He looked on Eliab and said," speaking, of course, to himself, "Surely the Lord's anointed is before him." 7. "But the Lord said unto Samuel." That is, God spoke, not audibly, but none the less really, within Samuel's soul. "I have refused him." For the Lord seeth not as man seeth. "Saul was the king of God's chosen." David was a man after God's own heart. 8. "Abinadab" was next called, and similarly rejected. 9. "Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by." 10. "Again" (or, as it may better be, "so") "Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel." The seven included the three already named, but not David. "And Samuel said unto Jesse The Lord hath not chosen these." IV. "Fourth Step in David's Exaltation. The Anointing."—Vs. 11-13. 11. "Are here all thy children? And he said. There remaineth yet the youngest." Evidently too little considered to be sent for, to take part in Samuel's review. Children are likely thus to be underwatch by their elders; but God looks more wisely upon them. "And in the keepeth the sheep." Often in world's history, the greatest leaders of men have been drawn from the lowliest origins. "We will not sit down till he come hither." Practical. It often happens that men neglect the very person, young or poor or obscure, whom God has chosen for highest honor; but whomever men may choose (crown, the real feast cannot proceed in) God's candidate has been discovered. 12. When a man is rudely in hair and fair skin. In southern hills, where skin and hair are dark, these are considered especially handsome. "Of a beautiful countenance." "Literally, 'Beautiful-eyed and goodly in appearance.'"—Camb. Bible. "Arise, anoint him." "Christ" signifies the anointed one," he being our Prophet, Priest, and King. 15. "Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brethren." That is, in their presence. The later history shows that they did not understand the meaning of humility act. It is not told that even David or Jesse comprehended what Samuel was doing. Note: The effect of the anointing: "The spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forbeside." The Hebrew for "describes" is *pervading impulse*). -Camb. Bible, Just as Saul upon his anointing (I. Sam. 10: 6, 10), so David received a supernatural exaltation for his lofty destiny. "So Samuel rose up, and went to Rachel." V. "Fifth Step in David's Exaltation. David's Introduction to Saul's Court." I. Sam. 16: 14-23. The remainder of the chapter describes the providential manner in which David was introduced to the household of the king whom he was to succeed. Saul's disobedience was punished by his father, from God, a form of melancholia akin to patient insanity. Such maladies are often bettered by the influence of music, and at the suggestion of Saul's attendants David was sent for, since his skill upon the harp, as well as his courage, prudence, holiness, and wisdom, were well known. He at once won the affection of Saul and proved himself so skillful in playing the harp that he was often sent for afterwarda. In this most unexpected and marvelous way did God begin to work out his great design for David and the kingdom. Note in all this the fifth step in God's exaltation of David—the steady movement of providence as the young man developed his gifts naturally, and as opportunities for exercising those gifts opened up before him. The elixion of his opportunities came in the combat with Goliath, which we study next Sunday. There is nothing in David's advancement which may not be essentially true of any boy or girl, if he or she will be obedient to the anointing of duty. Ten members of the legislature have turned their per diem and mileage for the special session over to the relief fund—leaving only 155 senators and representatives who haven't. A bridal couple was in Emporia this week riding about town in a low-necked hack. "This," explains the Gazette, "is love!" An effort will be made to have the next legislature "regulate" the deadly Fourth of July toy pistol, and the only surprising consideration is that no master legislative mind thought of it before. High noon on the desert. The sun is fire That scorches, that maddens, that burns unto death. And the waves of his fury beat higher and higher, Till e'en the gray lizard is gasping for breath. The yucca no longer sets gray against gray; The sagebrush has vanished, the white poppy fled. And the sand ocean stretches away and away O'er the desolate leagues of a world that is dead. White night on the desert. The solemn moon glows O'er the sands where two camp through the cool of the night— What matters the story of words, and then blows? While women are fair, men will quarrel and fight. Now Maggie McHenry was fairer by far Than many a maid who is known as a belle; And Duncan had vowed she should shine as his star. While Donovan's answer I'd shudder to tell. Gray dawn on the desert. The sun sent a ray, Like a first arrow shot by a merciless foe, And the shades of the night-time crept slowly away, And the sands were alight, like a furnace aglow, Then Duncan awoke, rubbed his eyes, looked about— FARM ON HISTORIC GROUND One of the most famous farms in the United States is being conducted by Uncle Sam on a portion of the historic estate formerly the property of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Two hundred acres are set apart for farming operations. The remainder of the estate is the National Military cemetery, where are buried 16,000 Union soldiers who lost their lives in the civil war. Uncle Sam is not engaged in farming for his own profit, says the New York Press, but for the benefit of the farmers of the entire country, who will be given the results of the experiments by the experts in the employ of the government. For more than a year laborers have been engaged in clearing the land and preparing it for crops. Modern buildings are in course of construction, and within a short time the farm will be in full operation. Breeding of superior or wheat, corn and oats will also be attempted. New fruits will be introduced, and those already grown in this country will be improved upon. Diseases of pears, peaches, plums and other fruits will be studied with a view to stamping out the alliments of fruits and making fruit growing more profitable. Experiments for the purpose of determining the best forage crops and the most economical plans for feeding cattle will be some of the features of this interesting place. GO BACK TO SAVAGERY There are about half a dozen men living, somewhere in the interior of the big African continent that the English military authorities would like to interview. And it wouldn't be a long interview, either. One of these much-wanted individuals was formerly a colonel in the Russian army, but had to leave it under disgraceful circumstances. Another is a Prussian ex-sergeant, who also got into trouble at home. The rest were European soldiers of various nationalities. All of them drifted into Egypt, where they abjured Christianity, professed Mohammedanism and joined the forces of the Mahdi when that strenuous party was at the height of his power. Their military experience made them valuable, and as the Arabs thought their converts were sincere and looked upon them with the utmost favor, all obtained responsible positions in the army of the Mahdi. The Mahdi and his followers were not inclined to deal any too gently with Christians who fell into their hands, Gus A Miller Art Co DR. J. T. KINAHAN.

High noon on the desert, high noon once again, 'Mid the dry bones of death shining white where they fell; And Duncan, a victim to thirst and its pain, With the blood in his veins like the liquid of hell. Yet staggering on. To and fro, to and fro, Ran the white flames of heat in their devilish play; And the lying mirage is making its show of a green land of peace where the cool waters play. At eve on the desert one found him at rest, Crushed down, beaten low in that furnace of hell; She found him, and kissed him, and held to her breast, And laved him with water that soothingly fell; And, "Maggie," he whispered, as opened his eyes— What matters the pain when the race has been run?— And I judge there is justice somwhere 'neath the skies. For, borne through Death's caldron, the best man had won. —Alfred J. Waterhouse, in New York Times. Secretary Wilson is taking pride in directing this work. The portion of the Lee estate set apart for farming purposes is about the poorest piece of land in that section of the country. It was entirely unfit for agricultural purposes, and it was necessary to fertilize and improve it. The experts of the Agricultural department expect to demonstrate that the poorest land in the country can be profitably utilized for successful farming operations. Gen. Lee's former home is one of the most beautiful spots in the vicinity of the national capital. The mansion stands on the brow of a hill which slopes away half a mile to the Potomac, 200 feet below. The view from the portico of the old mansion had been famed for a century. When Lafayette was a guest at Arlington he pronounced the prospect from the porch one of the most beautiful he had ever looked upon. Since Lafayette's visit the view has been changed, new beauties have been added, while some of the old ones were destroyed by the ravages of war. The completed capitol, with its majestic dome, the symmetrical Washington monument, the beautiful Congressional library and other architectural features have taken their place in the picture, while a grove of majestic trees which graced the slope below the house were utterly destroyed during the greatest civil conflict ever waged. but these apostates went far beyond the dervishes in cruelty. Their presence with the Mahdi ultimately became known, and the feeling toward them among the English soldiers was quite different from that felt toward the dervishes, who were regarded as brave men and their legitimate enemies. Yet, while thousands of better men fell before the sweep of the Maxims in the terrible charge at Omdurman these apostates escaped. At least their bodies were not found on the battle field, although a most careful search was made for them. It is supposed that they fled to the south, and are now hiding with some of the tribes of central Africa or the southern Soudan. Should they ever fall into the hands of the English it will not take long to decide their fate. The call of the wild, unrestrained life is one that at times appeals to many. It is the old call of the jungle and forest. But there is little hope of reclaiming the man who has really yielded to it.

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 Roberts of our own day has a similar aversion) would grow quite uneasy if she up in the same room with a mad dog. Sir Walter Raleigh had a marked objection to prison life; and Lord Burleigh, his great contemporary, never liked to slip off a curbstone with his tongue between his teeth.—London Punch.
