He has made a good District Clerk and is the right man to vote for. A Word on Suffrage resident Eliot Corrects Impress ion That He Opposes Dining With Negroes Booker Washington's Opinion On Important Questions president Eilot, in a short address said "Who led the first armed companies in the Civil War? Wenworth Higinson, beat Gould Shaw, and Halloall graduates of Harvard. The Negroes ever had anything equal opportunities at Hawk. It is a very solemn trnth of the Negro in this country is equal opportunity. He is just legislation, just admission and equal opportunities education. Dr. Washington rendered thd immense service to his beople and to this entry of opening the way more than any other in the World, to an education of the Negro race." the toast master had given me impression of dining with armed men was a new departure for the president of Harvard, but the latter soon assured them it was not. President Eliot succeeded this error as follows: I have sat at tables with color-men many times in my life. began when a boy in my father's house on top of Beacons Hill. my boyhood home I ate with cold colored man who had been move and had crossed the Catain line more than once. Then have had the honor to sit with Dr. Washington at the college site on commencement day. there's nothing new in this association. So, gentleman, your master was a bit in error inanking the conditions of this meeting had any delovely to me." Dr. Washington said in part: "We need not only the industrial school, but the college and professional school as well; for --- 6TH YEAR. CLARK District Court need himself. He has made a good right man to vote for. in Suffrage Corrects Impres- Dining With Negroes On Important Questions a people so largely segrated, as we are, from the main body of our people must have its own professional leaders who shall be able to measure with in all forms of intellectual life. It is well to remember, however, that our teachers, ministers, lawyers and doctors will prosper just in proportion as they have aput them an intellignet and skilful producing class. I believe thoroughly in the work which the college, the university and the industrial school can do at the present time for the advancement of my race at the South. Any subterfudge, any make-shift is the form of a law that gives the ignorant white man a right to express his wants at the ballot box and withholds the same right from the ignorant Nero is an injustice ro both races. In most cases such laws give the Negro the incentive to become a voter by getting property and intelligence, but say to the white man in so, many words. Remain in ignorance and poverty and a way will be found for you to exercise the franchise." No question is settled until it is settled right; till it is settled in accordance with the absolute, immutable laws of justice. "Regarding lyching, I also repeat what I have said many times in the South. That the taking of human life without due process of law, whether in Georgia or Ohio, is a blot on civilization. Further, that we should at all times stand ready as a race to join hands with all people to see that the crime is not committed by our people, and ts see that WICHITA, KANSAS, OCT 22 1904. legal punishment follows such crimes. "No happenings within the last 10 years, have give me more enouragement than the fank, brave manner in which lynching has been condemned in the South within the last few days by the daily press, the white pulpit, by grand jurors, governors, and, in several cases, by confederate camps. "The present commenable sentiment regarding the disgraceful habit of, lyching never could have been brought except through the co-operation and the better class of whites and the same class of blacks. It is through such sympathetic co-operation between the roces that our difficulties will finally disappear. "Let us never become discouraged regarding our future. We are making progress in moral directions, where it is most questioned. This progress is proven by the fact that almost no Negro who holds a diploma from one of our rezoned colleges' universities or industrial schools, can be found within the walls of the penitentiary. "In the business world you will find the Negro making advancement, making progress as bankers as merchants, as real estate dealers, as well as operating thousands of valuable and successful farms." "Slavdry presented a problem os distruction; freedom presents a problem of construction. The latter requires patience, time, courage and toil, but in the end we shall reach our goal. Of this we have no doubt whatever." The committee was W. W. Bryant, James Epps, Minor Hamlin, Samuel E. Wilson,T. P. Clark, Robert A. D.xon, Nathan Bullock COUNTY CLERK. A. C. Richard, better known as "Bert" Richards, is the republican candidate for county clerk and is making a campaign clean and clear cut, and one which is convincing the people more every day of his capabilities to serve in that office and a campaign which will win for him the election to that office. Although a young man, Bert Richards has done much valuable work in the interest of his party and merits the office to which he now aspires. Vote the straight republican ticket and you will vote for Bert Richards. Wichita and Sedgwick county could desire no better fortune, in the campaign upon which we are entering, than that the democrats should persist in their mud-slinging method of conducting a caign of so little consequence to them. The belitling of any auspicious occasion of consequence (to the democrats) is the lowest plane that they could reduce themselves to, and is only an evidence of forlorn hope and degeneracy of what is left of a party that was once in opposition to the grand old republican party. A party that comes before the people in a position which cannot be successfully attacked in front or flank or rear, makes it very difficult for the opposition to find any ground upon which they can pick a flaw in any of the candidates upon the county republican ticket. Don't forget to register now, or you may be too late and lose your right to vote the republican ticket. Every American citizen should feel it as a pride as well as his duty to vote his party ticket. REGISTER OF DEEDS—W. L. Appling. Sedgwick county has the good fortune to have in the register of deeds office a gentleman who has proven one of the best registers of deeds in the history of our county. Mr. W. L. Appling, the very capable register of deeds of our county, is an old soldier who spent more than four years in the union army for the preservation of the union; he has been a resident of Sedgwick county for a number of years during which time he has proven to be one of our best. As a republican he is one of the staunchest and truest in Kansas. Mr. Appling is a friend of the colored people as he has proven and will receive the vote of every colored person in our county. Vote for W. L. Appling for register of deeds. The speaking at the park last Monday afternoon was full of oratory and eloquence. Secretary Wilson, of President Roosevelt's cabinet, was a most interesting talker. He gave his listeners some good sound logic to digest. Every farmer went away fully repaid for his time and travel in coming to the largest free dinner ever given in the state. There were equally good speches made by E. W. Hoch, candidate for governor, and Senator Long. Congressman Murdock presided at the afternoon meeting and was warmly received by the people of Sedgwick county as well as all that were present from many parts of the district and the whole state. Sanford's band played some stirring pieces of music at intervals between the speeches. The big Republican barbecue held at Riverside park last Monday was one of the grand affairs ever attempted in Kansas or any other state. It was only an additional evidence of the brains of the party leaders that DO things and are always equal to the occasion. No one was able to suggest where any improvement could have been made. Everybody who went to the park at noon got something to eat and the best cup of coffee they ever drank. The meat was the best barbecued meat ever served in Wichita, and there was plenty of it for everybody besides the 3,200 loaves of bread and two barrels of pickles there was 75 people to serve it and everybody was waited upon in a little less than an hour. For the office of surveyor the republicans present the name of W. R. Kessler, one of the oldest and most competent surveyors in Kansas. Mr. Kessler is an old soldier, a staunch republican and a friend to the colored race. Vote the republican ticket straight and you will vote for Mr. Kessler. The people of Macedonia have decided that they do not care for autonomy. What they want is something that can play "Bedella" without making a noise like a Kalamazoo planing mill. Just as another evidence of Cincinnati's increasing interest in fine arts, it is worth while to note the incorporation of the Booze Nose Social and Pleasure club of that city.—Ohio State Journal. Mr. John D. Rockefeller announces with paternal pride that his eldest daughter earns her pin money by keeping down the household lighting bills. Her father earns his by keeping up other folks'. In Germany they are making sidewalks out of compressed sawdust, and the new material is said to give perfect satisfaction. But is there anything in this world that really gives perfect satisfaction? The congratulations extended to Joaquin Miller, who bids fair to become a millionaire through boring his Texas lands for oil, will be all the more general and hearty because he has never bored anybody with his poetry.

Bolts Democracy On Account of Its Negro Policy ROBERT TREAT PAINE. JR. OF MASSACHSETSS BOLTS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ON THE NEGRO QUESTION Robert Treat Paine, Jr. who has twice been the Democratic nominee for governor of Massachusetts, announced his intention to bolt the Democratic party. The only ground, which he announces for his bolt at present is the Negro question, although he says he may have something to say futher on. In a signed statement Mr. Paine said. "I am going to vote for Roosevelt. I am Demoerat enough still to feel that I want the president of this country Demoerat enough to meet any man who deserves it at any function. I have myself dined with Booker Washington, and would consider it a privelige again to do so. "Does not this dilemma face Mr, Parker.: If elected President, and if there were in Washington a gathering of the most eminent educators in this country among whom Booker Washington would be inevitably classed, and the President pished naturally enough ho show due recognition and honor to this gathering and invited them to the white House, would he bar Booker Washington? Would he discriminate against him because of race or color? Would he have a Jim Crow pantry behind the house to which Booker Washington would be shunted off "On the other haud, is Parker as President should ask Booker Washington to the White House, would not the whole South again raise the cry that they had been buncoed in their candidate? This is only one of my reasons for desiring to vote for Pressden Roosevelt, but' coming hf Abolition stock and being born aud bred Republican, this aspect of the case does not have much weight with me, I confess. --- Eckstien in Candidate attorney.

What constitutes a lady? asks a literary clergyman of New York. The answer is easy: A good woman. Another thing we want to know about the corn crop is as to the number of red ears. Husking bees are coming. The United States treasurer says there is one $10,000 bill "still in circulation." Not rotating very rapidly, however. The alligator is threatened with total extinction. It will be in order for the crocodile to shed a few tears for relation's sake. The London Lancet is trying to ruin the strawberry market in Kentucky by proving that that succulent fruit is $91\%$ per cent water. A Chicago promoter succeeded in getting a special train from Philadelphia for only $1,782. Who says the cost of living is increasing? George Meredith expected his remarks on the marriage question to "stir up a devil of a row." But any fool could have guessed that. A man of the name of Whaley recently failed with liabilities of $1,000,000 and assets of $1,200. Gracious what a system he must have had. Dean Lefroy of Norwich, who objects to the flirting of young people in the cathedral, should hale the guilty ones before the altar and tie them up. Police Commissioner McAdoo of New York says it's no offense for women to smoke in automobiles. He probably regards it as a case of olfactory self-defense. It is calculated that the supply of anthracite coal will have been exhausted at no remote period. The black diamond then will surely be the real precious one. In summer a man thinks that he would rather tend the furnace. In winter he thinks that he would rather run the lawnmower. This is a queer world, anyhow. The secret wedding rarely remains a secret very long, because, in the very nature of things, one of the two parties to the agreement finds it exceedingly difficult to keep one. NO 25 THE SEARCHLIGHT.

"The happiest man in the world" says Bent Murdeck, "is the common ever, day chap who makes his own living, pays his bills and has a little money as he goes along, but he doesn't strive to get a corner on the local output, and he is a slave to neither ambition nor society. He loves his God and his fellow man, thinks 'there is no place like home,' the haven of rest, prefers the company of this wif and children to that of anyone else never has to sit up all night to poulice his conscience, believes in the doctrine of live and let live and when he encounters one of the needy he doesn't stutter with his possessbook.

GOLDEN TEXT—Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved—fer. 1:14 I. Naaman, Afflicted with a Defiling and Deadly Disease.—V. 1. "Now Naaman" (pleasant, beautiful), "captain," general, commander-in-chief, "King of Syria." Ben-hadad II, whose kingdom joined Israel on the north, lying between Israel and the rising power of Assyria in the northeast. "A great man with his master." His most talented statesman, his wisest counselor, his best general and military organizer, with a strong personality. "Because by him the LORD," Jehovah (as LORD in capitals always means), "had given deliverance unto Syria." "A mighty man in (of) valor." Of personal strength, courage, and skill, excelling others in his warlike exploits. Leprosy. "But he was a leper." It is not easy to decide just what form of leprosy afflicted Naaman. But the common leprosy satisfies all the statements in the story. It is a loathsome, defiling disease in its later stages. In the Gospel the word used for curing the leprosy, in every case but one, is cleansing. It is contagious by intimate contact, but there is almost no danger to those of cleanly habits. Thus it is easy to see in the leprosy a vivid type of sin, from which we should be as anxious to escape as Naaman was from his leprosy. Note 1. That this man could do great things in spite of great disadvantages. Almost every great man has had to do the same. Many of the greatest successes have been wrought by persons who seemed to have insuperable difficulties in their way. Note 2. No life is perfectly happy. There is some discord in life's sweetest music; there is a tempter in life's every paradise. And God would have it so for the discipline and salvation of men. It was his leprosy that led Naaman to the knowledge of the true God. II. A Little Girl Shows Him Where He Can Be Cleansed From His Disease.—Vs. 24. 2. "The Syrians had gone out by companies." Roving bands of marauders, like those that used to come down from the Scotch highlands upon the rich lowland farms, as described by Scott. "Brought away captive * * * a little maid." Little girls are still the prizes of Kurdish and Bedawy forays. 3. "My lord (Naaman) were with the prophet that is in Samaria." This young girl must have often heard of the miracles of healing performed by Elisha, and of his readiness to help those in distress. Note how much a child can do, like the boy with the five leaves and two fishes in Christ's time; like the young Joseph and Daniel. They cannot teach but they can make known the teacher. They cannot argue, but they can invite. 4. "And one (probably Naaman) * * * told his Lord." the king. III. Seeking Deliverance in Earnest, but From the Wrong Source.—Vs. 5-7. 5. "And the king of Syria (ben-hadad II., son of, or worshiper of, the Syrian god Hadad) said, Go to, go." Start immediately, set out on thy journey at once. "I will send a letter unto the king of Israel." Probably Jehoram, the son of Ahab. He thought this the easiest way to reach Elisha. "And took with him." To come before any one without a gift when a favor was to be asked would have been excusable rudeness. "Ten talents of silver." A talent of the heavy or common standard weighed $96\frac{1}{2}$ pounds avoirdupois, and was worth $1,940 in silver. "Six thousand pieces (shekels weight) of gold." A shekel of the common standard weighed about 253 grains and was worth $9.69, so that the present consisted of $19,400 in silver and $58,140 in gold, or $77,540 in all. (There was, however, a lighter standard of about half the value of the above.) "Ten changes of raiment." The word means costly robes, suitable for festive occasions. 6. "That thou mayest recover him of his leprosy." Through the prophet at his capital. 7. "The king * * * rent his clothes," as an expression of intense grief and fear. "Jehoram lived in perpetual terror of his powerful and encroaching neighbor. Nothing was said in the letter about the Man of God," and it never occurred to him to seek his help. We learn from 2 Kings 3:13, 14, that King Jehoram was too close a follower of his mother Jezebel to be on friendly terms with a prophet of the Lord. "He seeketh a quarrel against me." A pretext for again invading the country. IV. The Way of Humility and Faith. —Vs. 8-13. 8. "When Elisha * * * had heard." He probably had his home in Samaria, in another part of the city (2 Kings 6:32). "Let him come now to me," etc. However sinful the king had been, and however powerless to help Naaman, yet true religion was not dead; and God would graciously show his power through his prophet. 9. "With his chariot." He came with a gorgeous cortege and pomp, to show how great a man he was, demanding rather than asking a favor. "And stood at the door of the" little cottage, waiting, in his chariot, for the prophet to come forth and humbly ask the great man what he desired. 10. "And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, * * * * Go and wash in Jordan seven times." The Jordan was twenty-five miles away. There was no healing power in its waters. The prophet treated the great general with none of the humble deference and reverence he expected. What was the object of all this? Evidently for its moral effect—upon Naaman, upon the Syrians, and also upon the Israelites themselves. Elisha showed Naaman that he was the ambassador of the King of kings. He had no favors to ask, but could bestow the greatest benefit. Let Naaman recognize these facts, and be made to realize and reverence the true God. 11. "But Naaman was wroth." He probably had little faith in the humble prophet, and now what he once had felt vanished away. It was contrary to his pride and love of display. He wanted something fitted to his station, some expression of honor, some visible display on the part of the prophet. 12. "Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus?" The Abana was called by the Greeks "the golden flowing." "It is the clearest water possible, and singularly bright in color; in the morning a full, deep emerald green, in the evening a sapphire blue. It was impossible not to think of the two jewels, so exactly did it resemble their clear, gem-like hues at times."—Miss Beaufort in "Egyptian Sepulchres and Syrian Shrines." "Pharpar." A less important river near Damascus. "Better than all the waters of Israel." "Truly to the eye of man the Jordan can bear no comparison with the rivers of Damascus, any more than the bare hills of Israel with the garden forests of the 'City of the Sun.'"—Tristram. "May I not wash in them, and be clean?" Certainly, if there was any healing power in the water itself. But there was no divine word behind that washing, and the bright Abana could not wash away the leprosy. "He went away in a rage." Letting his anger overcome even his desire to be cleansed from the leprosy. 13. "And his servants (officers) came near," gently soothing Naaman's rage, and seeking to restore him to reason. They were naturally less blinded by excitement and anger. "Had bid thee do some great thing." Some daring exploit, some deed of personal valor, some pilgrimage to a distant and dangerous shrine. "How much rather then," etc. The ease and simplicity of the requirement was a reason for not objecting, but for obeying. It removed all excuses. Moreover, he had to cross the Jordan on his way home, and could easily try the experiment. V. The Complete Deliverance—Vs. 14. "Went he down." His stormy passion subsided and reason and hope again guided his conduct. He obeyed the prophet, and the prophet's word came true. "Like unto the flesh of a little child." "In striking contrast to its former foul and diseased condition, it now became fresher and fairer than was natural in a full-grown man."—Cambridge Bible. "And he was clean." Not only were the outward manifestations of leprosy taken away, but his whole nature was free from its taint. Note 1. That Naaman returned to Samaria to give thanks to the prophet, and express his faith in God, like the one leaper of the ten whom Christ healed. Expressions of gratitude are natural to a grateful heart, and tend to increase the good feeling. Naaman wished to give his present to Elisha, but the prophet refused all reward, because it would diminish the moral effect of the cure. Moreover, the refusal might save Israel from incursions of the Syrians. 2. The cure seems to have produced in Naaman the effects the prophet had desired, and he became a true though imperfect worshiper of Jehovah. 3. The narrative goes on to show how Gehazi, covetous at heart, almost undid the moral influence of his master by going after Naaman and by misrepresentations taking a present from him. Like Achan, he coveted the gold and the raiment. He was guilty of hypocrisy, covetousness, profanity, lying, cheating and treason. And for punishment the leprosy of Naaman came upon him, and he became a "leper white as snow." His punishment was greater than the gold touch of Midas. Ever after he was a walking sermon of warning, known probably to the Syrians as well as to Israel. The Heart of the Lesson. 1. Sin, in the heart and life, is well represented by the leprosy. 2. The great need of each heart, and of mankind, is cleansing from this deadly evil. 3. Those that realize its evil will be in living earnest to find some way of escape; for themselves first, and then for those who are periling the nation by selfishness, corruption, intemperance, and vice. 4. The only way is by a change of nature, of heart, of life, by the power and the gift of Jesus Christ, through a child-like obedience and trust, and a willingness to obey and love him. HOUSE = HOLD TALKS Alluring Models in Fall Wraps. There can hardly be said to be any distinct fashions for either house dresses or ball gowns for the autumn months, but rather advance winter styles are worn for what few informal affairs there are during the day—and, needless to state, a ball is almost as unheard of in October as is a snowstorm in August. It is then more with outdoor costumes—tailor suits, cloaks, wraps and hats—that one has to deal at this time of year, and most alluring are all the models in long coats and jackets now to be procured. This year the separate wrap forms more than ever an all important part of a complete outfit, and three, four, five or more handsome wraps are considered by no means an unnecessary or extravagant number of expensive cloaks to be possessed at once. One reason for this is that the gowns today are made up in such bright and varied colors that the wrap must either tone in most perfectly with some color scheme employed or else match exactly the shade of the dress. White cloaks are still smart, but are not seen in such numbers—for which we should really be thankful—as last year. A dark red, cream or a handsome black peau de soie or brocade cloak can also be worn with a quantity of different shades; but as can easily be seen one tires very shortly of an all white or all black wrap unless there be some garments with which it may be worn interchangeably to relieve the monotony. New and Novel. A tangerine chiffon cloth waist, trimmed with white velvet flowers embroidered in silver threads, would have much beauty added to it by being worn with a picture hat of white chiffon cloth and velvet, the high crown encircled with a vine of the white velvet flowers and a cluster of tangerine and white ostrich tips caught at the left side, where the brim should coquettishly flare. Picture hats having the high crown wound with stuffed silk cords have a soft and pretty touch given them by introducing fuzzy frills of lace for the wide brim. Very many of the picturesque dress hats are trimmed with either a long, shaded ostrich plume, a group of ostrict tips or a very long, graceful Paradise plume. White plush Directoire hats are very smart in style, with a long white ostrich feather for the trimming, which shows at the tip some pretty delicate or perhaps brilliant color, which in one way or another appears in the gown with which the hat is worn. Bows Are Growing in Size. Bows for young girls and hair ornaments for their elders seem to grow in size. Little girls wear two large bows, one on the top of the hair, where it is drawn to a pompadour, and at the nape of the neck. Butterfly bows which require a yard at least are in high favor, and Alsatian effects are worn by older girls who have plenty of hair. Sprays of flowers developed from chiffon make a pretty ornament for the evening. For Young Girls. Loose coats with plaited skirts make exceedingly attractive costumes for school and similar occasions and are in the height of fashion. This one is made of cheviot in shades of brown and tan and is simply finished with stitchings in tailor style. The coat A woman in a dark coat and skirt stands in front of a wall adorned with flowers and a lamp. is very generally becoming to girlish figures and includes bell sleeves that always are desirable, while the skirt is gored and kilted. The quantity of material required for the medium size is for coat $3 \%$ yards 21 or 2 yards 44 inches wide; for skirt $6 \%$ yards 27 or $3 \%$ yards 44 inches wide. Cloth Gowns Appear. Cool days bring forth light weight cloth gowns. A new model seen recently has a skirt which has on the back and on the sides a round yoke, to which the skirt proper is shirred, with the exception of the front breadth, which consists of two flat plains turned toward each other. These are fastened from the waist line to a third of the length of the skirt by means of crystal buttons and loops of white silk braid. The same motive appears on the pointed belt. A bolero hangs over this, but is shirred into the figure at the edges and has a deep collar of English embroidery. The sleeves are full puffs, which fall below the elbow, where they are gathered into a band trimmed with loops and buttons. The band is not tight and falls over an undersleeve of English embroidery. One of the New Waists. Blouse effects below shallow yokes are exceedingly becoming to most figures and are enimily fashionable 1 This very pretty blouse shows also the new sleeves that are full at the shoulders and is finished with deep cuffs. The model is made of pale blue crepe de chine with the yoke of lace and the band and cuffs of embroidered taffeta but various combinations might be suggested and the design suits the old waist and the gown equally well. When liked the yoke can be made transparent, the limp beneath being cut away. To make the waist for a woman of medium size will be required 4 yards 21, $3\%$ yards 27 or $2\%$ yards 44 inches wide, with $1\%$ yard of all-over lace and $1\%$ yards of banding. Styles in Shirt Waists. With the shirt-waist suits—which are also worn in mohair, light-weight velvetteen and silk—a separate cost is, of course, a necessity. It is more often loose-fitting than tight, and the most favored models are three-quarter length. Deep capes and shoulder capes, as well as a cap drapery just for the sleeve, are much seen. A combination of velvet and braid is a fashionable trimming, especially when the coat is in one of the much-in-demand smooth-faced materials. A filmy separate waist—a mass of shirrs, gathers and fine tucks—is a useful addition to any woman's wardrobe. Chiffon cloth is a good fabric to use, and the effect of the waist may be cleverly changed many times by its trimming. A vine of velvet flowers makes an attractive decoration for the corsage and the sleeves. Bands of brid-descent sequins may also be charmingly introduced and painted laces and also sequin-scattered laces combine effectively with the chiffon cloth. With a dressy waist like this a picture hat to match will do its share toward getting up an impromptu restaurant dinner, reception or theater party costume. Gray Silk Frocks. The gray silk frook is distinctly Parisian, with its pinked ruches and velvet medallions down to the front. Taffeta lends itself admirably to this treatment. Either black or cerise velvet, or a vivid scarlet, would be stunningly effective for the accessories. Some effective gowns are designed of white voile, trimmed with innumerable tiny satin ruches of the palest pink or blue. These are used to decorate the flouces on the skirt, and are repeated again on the bodice, the ceinture being of soft satin or the same color. Some Pretty Blouses For housewear some of the prettiest blouses are developed from challis in delicate figures, with a touch of lace in the form of a jabot and sleeve ruffles. Down the front of the blouse the jabot is criss-crossed with velvet ribbon held in place on either side with diminutive flat bows; or larger bows of velvet ribbon, tied in butterfly design and nestling in the lace, are fastened at intervals down the center of the front. The velvet ribbon matches the most pronounced tone in the figure of the challis, and the lace the neutral foundation. Skirts Are Plaited. Next to the velvet and velvetene the exquisite, glossy, smooth-faced cloths, like broadcloth, supple cloth and face cloth, are well to the fore. These materials are trimmed with braid and fashioned into smart-looking tailored street frocks. LATEST KANSAS NEWS GOOD WORK FOR GOOD ROADS. Party With Frisco Special Holds a Meeting at Pittsburg.

Mrs, Lambotte lived alone on a farm with her small son. All the other children had married and moved away. It is thought that this caused despondency, which is attributed as the cause of the decd. One of her married sons found the body in the barn, where he had gone for some feed without going to the house. A note was found at the house in whien the deceased stated that she was going to die. She had tied a rope securely to a rafter, then tied a noose in the other end, slipped it over her head, climbed a stepladder and swung off.

As the breakfast began a stringed orchestra struck up, and Mr. Sousa said with a smile: “This music, striking up just now reminds me of something that hap- pened on the frontier a year ago. “A noted European soldier was spending several weeks on the front- ier studying certain military questions there, and whenever he dined at head- quarters the regimental band,to show its respect for him, voluntarily played. “Day after day the foreigner messed with the officers, and day after day, as soon as he sat down, the admiring band hurried to its place and began to toot. “These little attentions,’ the band- master went around explaining, ‘are what foreigners of first rank like. ‘They are used to them at home, and if they didn't get them here they'd feel that they were being slighted.’ “One evening, as the band was play- ing with great industry in the forcign- er’s honor, the old man, at the end of @ rousing march, suddenly uttered an oath that resounded through the room, ‘Perdition take that band!’ he ex- claimed in a thunderous voice. ‘It al- ways begins its noise just at the time I'm sitting down to dinner and want to talk.’ “Thereupon, the bandmasten, flush- ing, signaled to his men, and they all trooped out silently with their instru- ments and music books, not alto- gether complimented with the effect ab thnte aheainu™: SAFEST FOOD’ In Any Time of Frouble Is Grape-Nuts, Food to rebuild the strength and that is pre-digested must be selected when one is convalescent.

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA AN IMPOSSIBLE PROPOSITION. Limited to Natural Products Only the United States Would Reject It, While Canada Will Not Lower Her Tariff Bars in Favor of American Manufactures. | ‘The light of truth and fact seems to have penetrated the intellectuals of the Des Moines Register. After a long period of hankering after Cana- dian reciprocity, after having em- ployed ‘many columns of editorial space in urging a wide open policy of free trade in articles which can be | produced more cheaply in Canada than “In the United States, the Register at last sees the situation as it is and “concludes that Canadian reciprocity is an impossibility under present con- “ditions. Undoubtedly. For more than “two years past these conditions have “been perfectly obvious to those | who opened their eyes to see. Repeatedly it has been pointed out by thé op- ponents of competitive reciprocity that Canada did not want and would not consent to any trade arrangement other than the free interchange of natural products; that Canada | was bent upon building up her own indus- irles and not upon crushing them by inviting increased competition from the United States; that reciprpcity in watural products only was nét to be thought of, unless the Republican pa:ty was prepared to take the conse- quences of depriving the farmers of the United States of the direct Yene- fits which they now derive from the tari on competitive agricultural prod- nets; that, in short, Canadian [reci- | procity was a closed book. All this has been pointed out over and over again. It is the absolute truth and once it fs fully grasped and under: stood as such we shall hear no more about Republican dissension on that MAKING THE RECORD. : | M IAN | (2 TARIFF | iif “i See on Bs SS Roser eo ‘ y ae ee. ea | — \ \ | bpm ee, az} Poe) |! = Li bh s> = | ie” Ez NE Yl AEE eS a Qe = : <haee? teem ROM RE le Pao Ne ae Sy Ty an tHe |, RR [eon TARIFF |B : v.: & PROTECTION 1S |RSS nF SS RB ERY | aie 4 e if ESN ee a pe ay, fh ay 4 Uo Z ud EMOCRAT/, lex esa = pec i tbh —_—s 4) RECORD/| ES gaze |r ron i NOG ee, Wt ze “Se = question, and those who continue to agitate for reciprocity. with Canada will have to deal with the Democratic party, which is always ready to at- tack and undermine protection. It is, to be sure, an eleventh-hour conversion in the case of the Des Moines Register. this final abandon- ment of the chase after the pot of gold at the foot of the Canadian reciproe- ity rainbow, but none the less wel come on that account. In a recent editorial the Register says: “Col. Raymond has recently been in Cenada, and his report of sentiment as he found it, confirms the report Gov. Cummins recently brought from the North. Canada is not at all so- licitons for reciprocity with the United States, further than to get a market here for Canadian farm prod- uce, which this country has always refused to consider unless accompan- ied by substantial concessions to American manufactures, which Can- ada will never make. Canada is to- day firmly wedded to the high tariff idea as against American trade, and fs Steadily raising the barriers to pro- tect Canadian manufactures. Canada has seen that a high tariff is forcing American capital across the border, and on that account also will insist upon it. “The manufacturers of Massachu- setts and New England believe they can secure more favorable admission into the Canadian market for their cot- ton and wool goods, but there is not the slightest indication that they can. * * * Canada will not now nor at any time while the Chamberlain preferential trade program is alive, or while the prospect of developing home Industries adequate to the home needs is bright, allow the United States to enter the Canadian market on any but the most unfavorable terms. The opportunity to monopo- lize the Canadian market came and went ten years ago.” We commend ,this candid recanta- tion on the part of a hitherto hot propagandist of the Canadian reci- procity humbug to the earnest consid- eration of certain Republican states- men in Massachusetts. They can take it home to themselves with positive advaatage. They may be able to dis: cover therefrom that it is far better to fight Canadian reciprocity with the keen-edged weapons of fact, of truth and of logic, than to palter and strad- «ile and compromise. What the Re- publican reciprotarians of Massachu- setts need to be told is, not that their scheme of free trade with Canada is sanctioned by sound Republican doc- trine and is not in conflict with the national Republican platform, but shat reciprocity with Canada in com- | potitive natural products is, first of all, {mpracticable, undesirable and worthless, because it would not gain for Massachusetts manufacturers a dollar's worth of new markets for their wares, while it would be morally certain to dissolve and disrupt the more than seven years between the protected farmers of the agricultural west and the protected manufacturers of industrial New England; and, sec- ‘ond, because the scheme of reciproc- ity that is being promoted by Foss and his free trade coadjutors is in direct conflict with the sound Re- publican doctrine, set forth in the na- tional platform of 1904, that there shall be no reciprocity that involves injury to “any American industry or to American agriculture.” The best thing to do with the reciprocity chi mera is to tell the truth about it ‘Thé truth Is that the dream of Cana dian reciprocity ig now, and while the Republican party remains in con- trol of national affairs must continue to be, utterly hopeless of realization. ‘They understand it that way in Iowa. Now let Massachusetts follow suit and recognize the obvious and the inevitable. Sadacina: the Othitase Rosca: As some of President Roosevelt's critics claim to have discovered, after reading his letter of acceptance, that while he is peaceful enough now he is preparing for war, it may be inter- esting to call their attention to the fact that the army. so Sir from being increased, is of less strength than it was the summer before he succeeded to the presidency. The actual strength of the regular army. including the hospital corps, the Porto Rico regi: ment and the Philippine scouts, was, June 30, 1901, 2,940 officers and 78,646 enlisted men; total, 81,586. At the close of the last fiscal year, June 30, 1904, it was estimated at 69,836, Though this is an estimate, it is not Kkely that the completed returns will materially change these figures. For a man who is preparing for war the president is following a most peculiar Baron d’Estournelles de Constant does not seem to regard the president as a reckless and flamboyant “war lord.” On the contrary, he speaks feelingly of “the grdnd and decisive services rendered to the cause of in- ternational arbitration by the United States, and particularly by President Roosevelt.” What were those services? Tke baron tells and he scarcely claims too much when he says that he Imows the facts better than any one else. Certainly he should know them as well as any one in the world. “The court at The Hague,” he gays, “stood deserted, abandoned and ridiculed until the day when he (President Roosevelt) had the courage, generos- ity and foresight to save It. That act alone has entitled him to the thanks of all Europe for his pacific and liberal spirit.” ‘That is a remarkable tribute to be paid to a “war lord” who is, according to his partisan critics, going about with a chip on each shoulder and bullying and brewbeating every one with whom he comes in contact, and is ready at any moment to embroil the world in war for the sake of personal prestige or for sheer lust of blood. Yet he would be rash who should deny the authority of this speaker or the exact truth of his words—New York Tribune. Saks Cantdanian ia Biren: What we may know for sure is that the country does not regret any of the leading achievements of the past eight years of Republican rule. We speak thus confidently, for the Demo: cratic party now stands confessed be- fore the country as having been in error in its opposition to the most im- portant of these measures. It is seeking the election with a platform which virtually confesses that the party was wholly wrong in the last two presidential campaigns. It has a candidate who openly confesses that it was wrong in every vital particular. It comes pleading that it has seen the error of its ways and that as a re- formed bungler it can safely be trust- ed with power. It has no argument or charge to make against the general sum of Republican policies—Kansas City Journal. Democrats and the Constitution.

TALK ON A By C. W. Post to Publishers The sunshine that makes a business plant grow is advertising. Growing a business nowadays !s something like growing an apple-tree. You may select good seed, plant it in good soil, water and work with it, but the tree will not produce fruit until another and most powerful, energiz- ing and life-giving element is brought to bear. You must have sunshine and lots of it. Can you expect to ripen apples in the dark? Can you expect to grow a profitable business plant nowadays without the sunshine of pub- lic favor produced by advertising? This Postum plant is a good iilus- tration of that law. It seems but a short time ago when I put a few men at work in the carriage house of the barn you have seen today, where we began making Postum coffee. ‘The seed then planted, less than 9 years ago, was a new kind of apple seed and it was not altogether certain how the people would like the apples. We did our work thoroughly and plenty of it. We knew we had a good apple tree of fine quality but how to develop our work and turn the apple tree mto a productive and profitable tree was another question. It needed sunshine and the kind of sunshine that is spread by the news- papers and magazines. It is an abso- lute certainty that without the pub- licity thus given—in other words, the sunshine—the business never would have developed. You have seen to-day factory build- ings—thirteen or fourteen in number covering many acres of ground, em- ploying hundreds of workpeople. pro- ducing food and drink in an aggregate of four million packages per morth, which goes'to every civilized country on the globe, and yet the entire enter- prise is less than 9 years old. We have found it necessary, inasmuch as the tree has grown and the apples ma- tured by hard work and sunshine, to continue the work and the sunshine day in and day ovt, month in and month out, the stmsuine appropriation amounting to approximately a million dollars a year for advertising, for ex perience teaches that if you mature the tree under strong sunshine, and bring {t up to a thrifty and healthful state where it produces profitable ap ples, you can not withdraw that sun. hime else the tree will gradually die Se Ney) Wiggle Stich SS | Eee De => uf WASH BLUE | Costs 10 cents and equals 20 cent: [worth of any other kind of bluiny Won’t Freeze, Spill, Break Nor Spot Clothes DIRECTIONS FOR ‘USES Wiggle=$ticl ggle-Gfick Ground in the water. a SS eee | Monkey is a Burglar. | Many burglaries have been com- /mitted in Berlin by a monkey whieh ‘escaped from the zoological gardens, Try me just once and I am sure te come again.

When you have lived a double life and practiced double dealing. When you are not a cleaner, finer, larger man on account of your life-work. When your highest brain cells have been crowded out of business by greed. When it has made conscience an accuser, and shut the sunlight out of your life. When it brings you no message of culture, education, travel, or of opportunities to help others. When you plead that you never had time to cultivate your friendships, politeness or good manners. When the attainment of your ambition has blighted the aspirations and crushed the hopes of others. When all your sympathy has been crushed out of your nature by your selfish devotion to your vocation. When you do not overtop your vocation; when you are not greater as a man than as a lawyer, a merchant, a physician or a scientist. When you have lost on your way up to your fortune your self-respect, your courage, your self-control, or any other quality of manhood. When it dwarfs, cramps or interferes with another's rights; when it blinds you to the interests of the man at the other end of the bargain.—Orison Swett Marden in Success. RULE OF THREE. A philosopher has thus described the rule of three: Three things to fight for—honor, country and home. Three things to think about—life, death and eternity. Three things to govern—temper, tongue and conduct. Three things to love—courage, gentleness and affection. Three things to hate—cruelty, arrogance and ingratitude. Three things to delight in—frankness, freedom and beauty. Three things to avoid—idleness, loquacity and flippant jesting. Three things to wish for—health, friends and a cheerful spirit. Three things to admire—intellectual power, dignity and gracefulness. DEFINITIONS OF "LOVE." "Love" is the touchstone of virtue. Giving all and asking nothing in return. An excellent salve for wounds and bruises of all kinds. A drop of precious attar drawn from the heart of the flower. A wrapping of the heart strings around a cherished object. Love is light which reveals hidden beauty and brings to life joy. Love is a weapon that will conquer men when all other weapons fail. Love is that which levels all things—with the possible exception of the head. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed THIS WOMAN KNOWS THIS WOMAN KNOWS WHAT ONE OF THE SEX DISCOVERED TO HER GREAT JOY. Mrs. De Long Finds That the Indescribable Pains of Rheumatism Can Be Cured Through the Blood. Mrs. E. M. De Long, of No. 160 West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found herself suddenly attacked by rheumatism in the winter of 1896. She gave the doctor a chance to help her, which he failed to improve, and then she did some thinking and experimenting of her own. She was so successful that she deems it her duty to tell the story of her escape from suffering: "My brother-in-law," she says, "was enthusiastic on the subject of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a purifier of the blood, and when I was suffering extreme pains in the joints of my ankles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows, and the doctor was giving me no relief, I began to reflect that rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and that If Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are so good for the blood they must be good for rheumatism and worth a trial. "I was in bed half the time, suffering with pain that cannot be described to one who has never had the disease. It would concentrate sometimes in one set of joints. When it was in my feet I could not walk; when it was in my elbows and wrists I could not even draw the coverlets over my body. I had suffered in this way for weeks before I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Two weeks after I began with them I experienced relief and after I had taken six boxes I was entirely well. To make sure I continued to use them about two weeks longer and then stopped altogether. For several years I have had no reason to use them for myself, but I have recommended them to others as an excellent remedy."

Of the grand total of 4,738,333, no fewer than 1,502,050 belongs to the British empire the remaining 3,146,343, being "foreigners".

Prison Without Walls Represa, a convict prison in California, is unique in the fact that it possesses no wall. The grounds are studded with nineteen guard posts which are built of stone and wood, and resemble a system of lighthouses. They are built on the salient points of observation and are fitted with Gatling machine-guns, Winchester rifles and shot guns. These posts are from forty to sixty feet high, and are placed various distances apart, averaging 300 yards. No convict is allowed to pass between the posts unless he has permission or is accompanied by an officer or guard.

Will Carleton, while traveling recently in a stage coach among the Green mountains is said to have fallen into a literary conversation with a prosperous farmer. In the course no suspicion of the author's identity, quoted from Mr. Carleton's poems to illustrate some points he was trying to make. "Oh, that's from Carleton!" said the poet, "and I never have been in the habit of believing half he said." The farmer eyed him a moment somewhat contemptuously. "Well, stranger," he retorted slowly. "I don't know you nor I don't want to be un civil, but if you ever know half as much as Will Carleton does you'll know twice as much as you do now." Money in Agriculture.

Chaplain Subdues Bully. Father Reany, chaplain of the United States receiving ship Hancock, moored in the Brooklyn navy yard, is a fine specimen of the muscular Christian—a skilled boxer and all around athlete. The other day he found it necessary to teach the ship's bully a lesson. The fellow, a new importation, had been tyrannizing over some small apprentices, when the chaplain stepped up and sent him sprawling with a handsome jolt on the jaw. One such caress was quite enough for the bully, who picked himself up and hurried out of reach. Then the clergyman went aft and reported himself to the officer in charge as having been engaged in a squabble forward. The bully made no complaint, so that was the last of it. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because it has 100 package contains 18 oz. while all the other kinds contain but 12 oz. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. Differences in Sexes.
