Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT [Name not visible in the image] lon. Thos. C. Wilson Judge of the District Court one of the truest friends that the olored people have in Kansas. judge, he is impartial, fair, and highly competent in every way. Vote For Judge Wilson other We find as the self-styled leaders of this small aggretation colored men who have been so high in the councils of the republican party that money jobs and prestige was swayed by them as the magician swayes his mantle—but the secret of their democratic proclivities are easily told and quickly seen. It is the same old story "rule or ruin" unable to "rule" they now attempt to "ruin" Now that these men of former greatness—but present insignificance—are no more regarded as Kings of Kings among their people—since they have not improved the talents given in their deeping---because they are no more able to demand and recieve large rolls of money from the republican treasury---and because perchance---they have lost---then try to make it appear to the colored people that the whole in the colored people of Sedgk county afford to mar the civil opportunity which they have for political preference the hands of the republican by voting the democratic set either national, state or city? can they afford for this cam- nion year to show them on the side and on the side of the party which has done more any other party to keep the red man down? When the lit- democratic hot air among the red people of our county is red down to the real fine poi- —what do we find—here it we find as the leaders of this significant movement to induce colored men to vote the demi- cric ticket—a few cooled men for years and years in Wich- has been the favored “pets” the republican ranks, Menwho we been given opportunities in republican party than any WICHITA, KANSAS, NOV 5 1904. republican party is wrong---- so wrong that they are trying to make issues--on which they hope to deceive some colored men in voting the democratic ticket. We are frank when we say to the colored voters "be not decieved" we assure the colored vote that the whole thing is simply a scheme by which few men hope to make a little coin for them solves. We do not object to the gentlemen getting all the coin in sight, but, why try to deceive your own brother simply for a personal gain? It will be well for the colored voter to ask this question—"If these gentlemen who are now styling themselves as the 'leaders' [.] of Negro democracy in this city thought the republican party alright while they held jobs under the party and were able to get money from the republican party—how is it that the republican party became so very "rotten" in the opinion of these gentlemen as soon these leaders were supplanted by other and more faithful men?" It is a scheme that will do the colored people no good. These leaders make a great howl about the Republican County Central Committee and their chairman, but we are safe when we say—had they been able to have secured the money from the central committee that they asked for they would to-day be praising the committee and its chairman instead of coudemning them as they are at present, which shows plainly that the whole thing is a money scheme pure and simple—but it didn't work. We ask the colored voters if this is the kind of "leaders" they wish to follow?——Men who because they can't receive large money considerations seek by deception and making false statements to deceive the people. That has been the trouble in this vicinity too long now—and that is the very reason the colored people of this city and county have no more substantial representation than they have—simply that they have been kept in the dark and led by deception. It is time for the colored people to shake loose from the old gang and stand alone awhile. Should the colored voter have anything to do with democracy? NO!! Ten thousand times, NO!!! They cannot afford to lose in one election what the past has took years to gain for them. Be honest with yourself, with your neighbor and with your friends. Democracy has the same love for the Negro that man has for the rattlesnake. VOTE THE BALLOT STRAIGHT To save the time of voter. desiring to vote a straight republican ticket, the law permits them to place a cross mark (+) in the circle at the top of the republican ticket. You are advised that if you do not stop there, but go on placing a cross at the right hand side of any particular candidate's name, you thereby spoil your ballot and cause it to be thrown out. On the other hand, if you are not a straight voter and desire to vote a mixed ticket, you must keep your cross at the right hand side of the particular candidate's name you wish to vote for and NOT place the CROSS in the circle under any circumstance. Figures show that from 10 to 25 per cent of votes cast, are thrown out because of careless = blunders by voters. This has been the history of the blanket Australian ballot. This year under the new bienal election law the general ballot will be the largest that has ever been voted in the state of Kansas. It will contains 44 names and looks like a real blanket. Unless voters are careful, unless they inform themselves and thoroughly understand the law the percentage of lost ballots will be even heavier, because the increased number of offices to be voted for involves more then the usual amount of local scratching. Don't use anything but the ordinary BLACK LEVD PENCIL, the use of the fountain pen and indelible or colored pencil will cause you to lose your ballot, and it will not be counted by the election clerks and judges. CAMPAIGN CLOSES. The present campaign is almost at its close, each side has been very vigilant and has made an effort to present their side of the issues to the voters for their consideration. At this time there is no reason for any man to make a mistake in casting his vote. Enough has been said to have amply informed the voters of the respective parties and no man need go astray. There never was a campaign in the history of Kansas when the republican party more clearly accurately and forcibly proved that they are entitled to the votes and confidence of the people than at this time, and there never was a time in the history of Sedgwick county where the Republican party presented a cleaner and more competent county ticket to the people for their votes than now. At the closing lines of this campaign we wish to give a short review of the Republican county ticket. STATE SENATOR. For this office, which is one of the most important in the state, the Republicans have selected Mr. James H. Stewart, a stalwart Republican, a friend to the colored people and a gentleman of education, business tact and interest for the welfare of his county and state. As state senator from Sedgwick county Mr. Stewart will prove an honor to his constituency. REPRESENTATIVE 71st DISTRICT. The Repuplicans have selected Mr. John W. Adams as their candidate for this office and they have made no mistake in their choice. Having served in the Krnsas legislature Mr Adams is well versed and is amply capable and will look after the interest of this county in a most commendable manner. Good Men REPRESENTATIVE 72nd DISTRICT When A. C Husey was selected as a candidate to succeed himself as a member of the legislature from the 72nd district the Republicans selected a winning candidate and a gentleman who will look to the interests of his constituency. The judicial convention unanimously selected Hon. Thos. C. Wilson as the Repblican candidate for District Judge and in making this selection the convention did a wise not and one of which the people will approve by a large majority on next Tuesday at the polls. No man in Sedgwick county is better or more favorably known than is Judge Wilson. As a friend of the colored people he is tried and true. There never was a needy colored person who has ever gone to Judge ilson for aid who has not at all times laid everything else aside to listen to their wants, and supply them. She time has never cared in the his ory of Judge Wilson's career where was not the avowed friend of this black man and the colored people here who know him well all testify to this fact. $HERIFF In selecting the veteran of many pattles as their choice for re-election to the office of sheriff the Republican party has selected a winner in the candidacy of Henry Schad. For two years taking care of the office of sheriff in a business like and competent way, the voters will repose the same trust in him for two years more. RECISTER OF DEEDS. W. L. Appling is the present and the next register of deeds of our county and a man whom every republican can candidly support with our any question. Mr Appling has made a splendid register of deeds, and is a staunch and warm friend of the colored people as his acts have demonstrated. By all n can heg Republican ticket so you will certainly vote for W. L. Appling for register of deeds. DISTRICT CLERK Mr Geo A Clark, Republic an nominee for clerk of the district court ie a man who has a host of warm friends and a man who hast the aptitude of making friends and the good fortune to hold them. As clerk of the district court Mr, Clark has made a grand success and has placed that office on a systematic and business basis. For this office the Republican party has named A, C, Richards, who is a young man and a strenuous worker in the Republican ranks Mr Richards will be elected by a large and handsome majority. COUNTY TREASURER. Mr. B Webb is the candidate of the republican party for the office of county treasurer. He will be elected by a large majority, Mr Webb was county missioner in 1894.95 and served with such men as J. M, Allen, N, E, Harman and Mat Bush, and during that time he made a clean cut officer and will make the same record as county treasurer. COUNTY ATTOBNEY. For this important office the republicans have selected the bril- COUNTY CLERK. liant and talented lawyer Mr. Otto Bekatin During the past two years that Otte Eckstein has held the office of county attorney he has saved Sedgwick county hundreds of dollars by strictly business manner in which he has conductd the affairs of his office. As public prosecutor, which at the best is a most unthankful job, Mr. Eckstein has been vengeous in his prosecutions of all, he has done his duty without fear or favor and has had no friends whom he protected or no enemy whom he has revenged, but has done his duty strictly in accordance with the law. As the county's prosecutor he has shown the same courtesies to the colored people as to the whites, and his office has known no creed, color or condition. Otte G. Eckstein is the proper man to support for county attorney. S. B. KERNAN. For Commissioner. A resident of the county for more than twenty years, during which time the taxpayers have shown an appreciation of his administrative ability by trusting their matters in his hands time and again, S. B. Kernan is again the chosen candidate of the republicans as the man suited to the people's idea of their executive in county matters. His past record assures the party of the wisdom of their choice. Mr. Kernan was first chosen to represent the people of his ward in 1893, when he was elected member of the board of education. After serving a year his faithfulness to his work and his power to get things done convinced the board that it would honor itself by conferring the honor of president upon him. His co-workers did not err in their supposition, for during the school years of 1894 and 1895, the schools of the city were run within the income of the board with a surplus at the end of the year. In 1897 the people chose Mr. Kernan as the person most worthy of their trust in financial affairs, as city treasurer. In 1899 the party decided upon him for chairman of the republican county central committee. Again his executive ability was proven by the access with which he handled the no Three years ago and again last year Mr. Kernan was elected to the city council from the first ward. In this position he served the city unwaveringly and next to the municipality, his ward, as his re-election to a second term is ample evidence. Nothing succeeds like success, and so it is with S. B. Kernan. He has built up a fine business of his own, and as county commissioner will manage the county's affairs with the same conservativeness as he has run his own mercantile business. E. PHILLIPS. For Coroner. E. Phillips, the candidate for coroner on the republican ticket, is one of the early settlers of Sedgwick county, having come to Wichita township from Calumet county, Wisconsin, in 1876. Mr. Phillips has voted the republican ticket since 1854. Mr. Phillips was born in New York in 1831, and received his educatio nin the Theresa high school of that state. At the age of twenty-one he moved from his old home in New York to Wisconsin, where he took up farming as a menas of livelihood. He colisted in the 1876 Wisconsin infantry and served with his company for three years. He was in a number of battles, and was wounded at Altoon Pass, Georgia. Since coming to Wichita Mr. Phillips served three years as justice of the peace and has been a notary ary public for twelve years. He, with Continued on page Four NO 27 THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N.

Jefferson is just what the good people here has been looking for, the Sunday school is all that can be expected. The B. Y. P. U. is second to none under the splendid leadership of the officers with Rev. Jefferson at the helm. The people of Wellington know a good thing when they see it. There will be a grand installation of Rev. J. J. Jefferson the newly called pastor the second Sunday in November. On that occasion we hope to raise money enough to put in all necessary repairs for our church. The good citizens of Wellington have awakened to the fact that the defeat of Roosevelt is a blew to the Negre therefore they have formed a club marshaled by Mr. Strange and others for the purpose of rolling up a good old time Republican majority for the entire ticket both state and national. The 2nd Baptist church will soon install electric lights in the church. The sacred concess given at the A, M. E. church Sunday night under the auspice of the Presiding Elders committee was a grand success. The programs was in charge of Mrs. Ida Clark who has selected members who made the evening to those who attended—and she was well r.paid for she was greeted with a large audience, and standing room in the church was as a premion.

FINEST OF ALL Big Rally of Colored Roosevelt Hoch Club The rally of the Roosevelt Hoch Club (colored) at Odd Fellows hall ast night was indeed the grandest event ever witnessed among the coloreb voters of Sedgwick county. the large hall was packed to the doors and standing room was at a premium. A big parade preceded the meeting and was led by the colored drum corps, which started at the city hall and marched to the meeting place. The meeting was called to order by Rev. B. Morris, presideut or the club who introduced W. N. Miller editor of the Wichita Searchlight as master of ceremonies who, in accepting the post of masters of ceremonies, made a very neat address. The following speakers were introduced: R. M. Wilson, J. H. Stew art Mrs. Thes. Glover, on behalf of the B. T. W. club; O. G. Eckstein, Rev. B. Morris' Senator J. W. Clap J. L. Harper, Geo. T.

Cured Her Rheumatism. Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 31.—(Special.)—There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other children do. Mr. Whipkey says: "I am indeed thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; they saved her from being a cripple perhaps for life." Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.

STOMACH ON FIRE ONLY A SKELETON CROUCHING BY A STOVE. Mrs. Doherty has an Extraordinary Experience and Undergoes a Marvelous Change. Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. 115 Coates street, Moberly, Mo., is today a picture of robust health, and yet five years ago, she barely escaped death from progressive emaciation. To a reporter she told the following story: "In 1896 I began to have distressing attacks of indigestion that continued for two years. My stomach was constantly sore and burned as if it was on fire. It became finally so delicate that it would not retain even plain water. My inability to take food reduced my weight to ninety-eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness kept me in bed most of the time. I was really starving to death and besides I was extremely nervous. The doctor was perplexed. He gave me tonics which did me no good, and prescribed exercise which I was too weak to attempt. "One day when I was so faint and chilled that I could do nothing but crouch down on the floor by the five, my father brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I found on trial that they would stay on my stomach unlike everything else. I really felt better after three doses and I kept on using them. Food began to taste well and to stay down. The pain and the burning in the pit of my stomach lessened and at last went away altogether. My weight began to increase until it reached 165 pounds and my neighbors, who were convinced that I was wasting to death before, were astonished at the change. I resumed my housework and have hardly had occasion to call a doctor since. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to several friends, and I say to the pale, thin ones particularly. If you want to get strong and well take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." These pills cure stomach trouble by their tonic action, building up the digestive organs and enabling them to do the work that nature intended them to do. They are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box or six boxes for two dollars and a half, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. A diet book giving useful information will be sent free on request. THANKS, MY DEAR-DUT ONCE IS ENOUGH FOR ME. TO REPUBLICANISM PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY TO CLEVELANDISM FREE TRADE AND SOUP HOUSES MISS DEMOCRACY PRICES FOR EXPORTS PRICES FOR EXPORTS BECAUSE BY INCREASING Our Volume of Production the Cost Is Decreased and We Are Able to Sell Cheaper Both in the Home and Foreign Markets. In the fiscal year 1904 the United States exported manufactured goods worth $452,445,629. This breaks all previous records. It exceeds the banner year of 1900 by $18,593,873. It is a total $268,726,145 greater than that of ten years ago, when Democratic tariff tinkering was paralyzing American industry. Compared with 1894, it is an increase of 164.24 per cent. Even in view of such a record, the Democrats, declaring that "protection is a robbery," would restore the disastrous conditions of 1894. In order to persuade the nation to intrust its industries to their unskilled hands, they declare that the foreigner can purchase articles of American manufacture more cheaply than the people of this country. They would impress the American consumer with the idea that he is paying exorbitant prices. Concessions in price to capture foreign trade are nothing new. They characterize all export trade. Every export nation cuts prices in order to compete with rivals. In the United States itself articles often sell more cheaply at points distant than they do at the place of manufacture. Many instances of this could be furnished. If they are not sold lower, there is usually no increase in prices at points distant to meet freight charges. Concessions in price are necessary to cultivate domestic trade, and they are equally necessary to gain foreign trade. The question is whether the American manufactured output is to be reduced by the failure of our manufacturers to make the necessary price reductions to gain foreign trade. If we are not to meet our competitors on their own ground out output must be lessened, which means a reduction NOT INCLINED TO TR THANKS, MY DEAR-BUT ONCE IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO: REPUBLICANISM PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY in wages paid, in material bought and in the purchasing power of wage earners and capitalists alike. There are four items in the cost price of a manufactured article: (a) Interest and allowance for depreciation in cost of plant. (b) Taxes, salaries, rent and other factory expenses, exclusive of raw material and wages. (c) Cost of raw material. (d) Wages of workingmen. In an article costing 96 cents to manufacture, these expenses will be divided about as follows: (a), 18 cents; (b), 12 cents; (c), 42 cents; and (d), 24 cents. The greater the output the lower the allowance that must be made for (a) and (b), which are practically the same whether the factory be running at its full or at half capacity. If the factory's capacity is 100,000, and it can sell $8,000 articles in the United States, the cost of production of those $8,000 articles will be $28,800, divided as follows: (a) Interest and allowance for depreciation ..... $18,000 (b) Rent, taxes, salaries and other factory charges ..... 12,000 (c) Cost of raw material ..... 23,000 (d) Wages of workingmen ..... 19,200 Total manufacturing cost ..... $28,800 In order to make a very reasonable profit, the article costing 96 cents must sell at $1.06. At that price the income from the sale of an output of 30,000 pieces would be $84,800, leaving a profit to the manufacturer of $2,000. The same article is manufactured in Great Britain, for instance, at a cost of 90 cents, thanks to the lower wages that there prevail. The American manufacturer concludes that it will be profitable to invade the English market. He can do so, because for all he manufactures over what he can sell at home he must only pay for the material used and for the wages of his workingmen, interest and depreciation and factory expenses having been covered by the domestic sales. To manufacture 100,000 articles, his full capacity, will cost him as follows: (a) Interest and allowance for depreciation $18,000 (b) Rent, taxes, salaries and other factory charges ..... 12,000 (c) Cost of raw material ..... 42,000 (d) Wages of workingmen ..... 24,000 Total manufacturing cost of 100,- 000 articles ..... $96,000 The English price being 90 cents, he cuts his price to 84 cents, so on the 20,000 he exports to England he gets $16,800. With the $84,800 obtained from his domestic sales, his gross receipts aggregate $101,600. His product has cost him $6,000, so his profit on his domestic and export trade together is $5,600. His profit on his domestic trade was $2,000, so his export trade has realized a profit to him of $3,000. But it did more. It caused the purchase of 25 per cent more raw material in the United States than if the manufacturer had confined himself to the domestic trade alone. It caused him to pay out 25 per cent more in wages. His own profit was $3,600 on his export trade. The man from whom he purchased his raw material received $8,400 more than he would had the manufacturer made no effort to enter the foreign market with his product. The workingmen received $4,800 more than had their employer confined himself to domestic trade. That makes a grand total of $16,800 clear gain to the manufacturer, the seller of raw material and the workingmen because the American manufacturer had sufficient enterprise to enter the export trade. It did not hurt the consumer, for the manufacturer would have sold his manufactured article at home at no lower rate if he had confined himself to the domestic trade. Who suffered? Not the American consumer; not the American manufacturer; not the American seller of raw material; not the American workingman; but the British manufacturer, whose goods must come into competition with the products of the enterprising manufacturer. Is it surprising, then, that there is a profound agitation in Great Britain for a tariff wall which will prevent this "dumping" of American and other foreign products in Great Britain? Is it not astonishing that intelligent men should advocate the breaking down of the American tariff wall to make the United States such a "dumping" ground as Great Britain is for foreign manufactured products? PRECISELY AS PREDICTED. Cuban Reciprocity Works for Benefit of European Producers. Cuban "reciprocity" is working out exactly as its opponents predicted that it would work. We are buying Cuban RAVEL THAT ROAD AGAIN. TO CLEVELANDISM FREE TRADE AND SOUP MOUSES MISS DEMOCRACY products in vastly increased quantities—it does not yet appear that our importers pay any more for them than they used to—and the Cubans are spending their money in Europe. Minister Squiers has just forwarded the figures of imports into Cuba for the first quarter of 1904, which, when compared with the corresponding quarter of 1903, show that our exports to Cuba have increased by 3 per cent, while Cuban imports from England, Germany, Spain and France have increased by 20, 21, 18 and 8 per cent, respectively. It is evident that the trade was bad for us, as discouraging the home production of sugar, and bad for Cuba, as discouraging the home production of the various products upon which the Cuban duties were reduced, and that the sole real beneficiaries are the people of European countries, the Sugar trust people and their friends who own plantations in Cuba and are in a position to do their own importing and refining, and the Sugar trust itself, which can buy cheaply from embarrassed Cuban planters and reap the full benefit of the reduction of our tariff in the alleged interest of "reciprocity." Happily, we are not likely to have any more such nonsense. The Republican party, after due deliberation, is now squarely committed to such "reciprocity" only as can be got "consistent with the principles of protection and without injury to American agriculture, American labor or any American industry"—which is a very awkward way of saying no reciprocity at all—while the Democracy stands pledged to any and all "reciprocity" with anybody, so only that protection can be beaten down in detail. Since the Democrats have not the ghost of a chance of success, we may regard the reelprocity humbug as finally disposed of.—San Francisco Chronicle. The Difference. The Republican party does not claim that our tariff is perfect for all time. It says in its platform that it will make such changes as are shown to be expedient from time to time. But Democracy says that the "protection is robbery." That is the difference between the two. One stands for business sense, the other for a closet theory. The American people are, on the whole, sensible business men. They will govern themselves accordingly in this battle of the tariff.—San Jose Mer-ry. M. H. H.

This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands that are selling it as a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. The older a joke is the younger is the fellow who gets it off for something new. BETRAYED BY HER FEET. Disobedient Patient Was Not Shrewd Enough to Deceive Doctor. The patient was feeling so much better that she insisted on rising with the family and dressing. After breakfast her daughter declared that she must undress and get into bed, as the doctor had ordered that she stay in bed three or four days. "There! I see the doctor's carriage coming now, mother," she exclaimed. "Undress as quickly as you can and I'll keep the doctor talking until you are ready." The mother hurried into the bedroom and the daughter went to the door. For a few minutes the daughter exerted herself to entertain the physician and then her mother called out: "I'm ready now to see Dr. Blank." The doctor gravely took the woman's pulse, listened to her breathings and did various other wise things, and then said: "I should like to examine your feet, Mrs. A., to see if they are swollen." The patient gasped. 'Oh, I don't think it's necessary,' she said. "But I assure you it is," said the physician gravely. Then the patient began to giggle. "Good Gracious, Doctor!" she said. "I have my shoes and stockings on." And then she explained that she had only gone to bed when she saw him coming and had not stopped to take off her shoes and stockings. BY PROXY. What the Baby Needed. I suffered from nervousness and headache until one day about a year ago it suddenly occurred to me what a great coffee drinker I was and I thought may be this might have something to do with my trouble, so I shifted to tea for awhile but was not better, if anything worse. "At that time I had a baby four months old that we had to feed on a bottle, until an old lady friend told me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three months ago I commenced using Postum, leaving off the tea and coffee, and not only have my headaches and nervous troubles entirely disappeared, but since then I have been giving plenty of nurse for my baby, and have a large, healthy child now. "I have no desire to drink anything but Postum and know it has benefited my children, and I hope all who have children will try Postum and find out for themselves what a really wonderful food drink it is." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Both tea and coffee contain quantities of a poisonous drug called Caffeine that directly affects the heart, kidneys, stomach and nerves. Postum is made from cereals only, scientifically blended to get the coffee flavor. Ten days trial of Postum in place of tea or coffee will show a health secret worth more than a gold mine. There's a reason. Get the book, "The Road to Wellville," in each pkg. JAPS ARE NOW READY Indications Are That They Are Assuming Offensive. BATTLE MAY BE IN PROGRESS. The Japanese Have Received From 40,000 to 60,000 Reinforcements From Port Arthur and From Japan —Port Arthur May Soon Fall. St. Petersburg, Nov. 2. Everything indicates that both the Japanese and the Russian armies south of Mukden are ready for a resumption of hostilities, if, indeed fighting has not already been begun. General Kuropatkin reports that the Japanese have received reinforcements from the south and Feng Wang Cheng. Their concentration seems to have been accomplished and they are ready to resume the offensive both east and west of the railroad. There is no official estimate of the strength of the Japanese-reinforcements, but correspondents place it at from 40,000 to 60,000. It is believed that he Japanese force has been very largely augmented both from Port Arthur, where an engineering siege has been begun, and Japan, from whence it is understood every available man is being drafted. It seems to be assured that the Japanese will be able to meet Gen. Kuropatkin on almost if not quite equal numerical rooting. The mere fact that they are again threatening a double flanking movement indicates Field Marshal Oyama's confidence in the sufficiency of the force at his disposal. It is believed here that the second battle on the Shakhe river will prove to be as much bigger and more serious than the first as the first was more serious than the battle of Liao Yang. General Kuropatkin is confronted by an exceedingly difficult problem. He is pitted against a Japanese force stronger, even despite its recent losses, than that opposing the southern advance. If Kuropatkin now succeeds in checking or even breaking the Japanese formation, it will open large possibility for the brief remainder of the present year's campaign. On the other hand a Russian reverse now would render the position exceedingly critical. POPE IS SILL. He Has Been Slightly Indisposed For Two Days. Rome, Nov. 3.—Pope Plus, who for two days has been slightly indisposed, was today visited by Dr. Lapponi, who found that his Holiness was suffering from an attack of gout and rheumatic pains in the legs, the latter caused by the sudden changes in the weather, Dr. Lapponi advised complete rest, and the pope reluctantly consented to the cancelling of all audiences that he had fixed for the next two days. He insisted, however, upon celebrating mass as this being All Saints day he said it would afford him the greatest satisfaction. The only persons who were permitted to attend this religious function were the pope's private secretary, Monsignor Brissan and his personal valet. The popes' sisters, who are living in Rome, hastened to their brother's illness, and persuaded him, much against his will, to go to bed. When the sisters left they were completely reassured by the statement of Dr. Lapponi that the pope would soon be better. Port Arthur Has Plenty. St. Petersburg.Nov. 3—A dock yard man who has just returned from Port Arthur whence he escaped in a junk to Chefoa a month ago has been interviewed by the Associated Press. He said when he left Port Arthur the fortress was provided with an abundance of ammunition and food. Up to the day of his departure, he said, he had not missed a single meal. He said General Stoessel and the garrison are confident of their ability to hold out for many months, and denied that any of the Russian warships in the harbor had been seriously damaged by the Japanese shell fire up to the time he left. CONE FELL INTO CRATER. Ashes From Vesuvius Scattered Over Radius of 25 Miles Naples, Nov. 3.—The cone on the crater of Mount Vesuvius, which formed during the late eruption, fell into the crater today with a tremendous roar. There immediately issued explosions that shook the whole mountain, followed by the emission of an immense black column, which gradually spread, falling in the form of ashes over the surrounding country within a radius of twenty-five miles. This disturbance lasted but a short time. Thanked for Cup. London.

Prof. Brander Matthews tells his English literature class the following incident of President Roosevelt's career as ranchman which was told to him by the president himself: An Indian on a tired pony loped past the Roosevelt ranch one day. The pony gave out completely as it neared the point where the future president was watching the proceedings. The Indian leaped to the ground, kicked the pony to a standing position, tore off the saddle, and, picking up a handful of gravel prepared to rub it into the fatigued beast's tender back preparatory to strapping the saddle on over the lumps of stone. This is a common Indian trick for reviving tired horses, but in the present instance it failed. The amazed Indian was suddenly seized by the future president and ordered to remove the gravel and to pasture the pony until the worn out beast should be sufficiently rested to go on. The surprised savage dared not disobey the stern order. Remembering the incident, nowadays poor Lo doubtless falls to connect the nervous, indignant ranchman with "The White Father at Washington."—New York World. Cat and Dog Names. A volume might be written to tell the story of the world-wide names given to the cat and dog, as when they say "the miew-miew," the "bow-wow." The word "puss," which is from the Hebrew, describes the spittings of the cat; "kit," a variation of the word cat, and "Hist!" or "Scat" mean the same. Love of God. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is Christ Jesus our Lord.—Paul.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put in $ \frac{1}{4} $-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocery tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. By Trial to Triumph. No man reaches the stage of triumph but by the steps of trial. The expected happens often enough to allow the weather man to hold his job. Plantation To cure, or m Admiral Schley Uses Pe-ru-na In His Home Peruna Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen:—"I can cheerfully state that Mrs. Schley has taken Peruna and I believe with good effect." —W. S. SCHLEY. Battle of Santiago, Where Admiral Schley Made History. ing victory in the onward march of civilization than in the notable event of July 23, 1898, in which the great hero, Admiral Schley, took a leading part. It was a great naval battle. Without a moment's warning it began. Quick decision, undaunted courage, excellent discipline, resolute self-confidence—these combined in Admiral Schley to produce that dash and daring so characteristic of the American soldier. A man must think quickly in these days. There is no time for slow action. New enterprises arise in an hour. Old ones pass away in a moment. A multitude of great themes clamor for notice. A man man must take sides for or against by intuition, rather than logical deduction. A London correspondent who has a London-Paris-Milan wire in his room writes that in his opinion the telephone girl is not quite an angel. He finds the London telephone girls slow and indifferent, the French intractable and impertinent. When the Whittaker Wright trial was proceeding he found himself late with some news and rushed to the telephone. Absolute silence followed his frantic ringing, until he almost pulled the telephone from the wall, After twenty minutes or so a sweet voice said: "Number, please?" "But," he protested, "I have been ringing for half an hour!" "Oh really! I am so sorry, I was drinking my tea!" In Paris the girls are absent minded and usually make the connections badly, but have invariably an excuse and will not hear remonstrances. The Italian telephone girl by the side of her London and Paris sisters shines indeed. She is obliged to repeat the number wanted and so seldom makes a wrong connection, she is prompt, and not exceptionally pert, but she is lazy and will often tell you that the person you want does not reply when she has made no effort to ring him up. WORK DONE BY INVALIDS Many Literary Successes Made by Men in Poor Health Lots of success has been pulled off by invalids. Parkman, the historian, was a bankrupt in health before he gan his life's work. Heine lived in a mattress grave for years. Was it not Pope who spoke of that "long disease my life?" R. L. Stevenson pushed away death with one hand while he wrote and ignited cigarettes with the other. There are hundreds of like instances, but the case most to the point here is that of Mr. Tilden, who always was a valetudinarian, and never had any physical energy to spare. But he had mental energy. That is the main thing. A sound body makes for sanity of mind, but physical energy and mental energy don't always go together—Harper's weekly. Could Not Vote On a certain building job some years ago, the contractor, who was a politician, put in a hod-hoisting machine and discharged the men who had been doing that work. A hod-carrier who had been thrown out of employment by the change came around a couple of days after to see how the new apparatus worked. He watched it for awhile in silence and finally exclaimed: "Ye're all roight. Ye're a-a-l roight, but ye can't vote."—Philadelphia Ledger. raised—its popularity as a catarrh remedy, its national importance, its extensive use. One asked his opinion. Without a moment's hesitation, he said: "I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Peruna and I believe with good effect." Like the Battle of Santiago, the thought was sprung upon him without any warning, and he disposed of it with the same vim and decision as he did with the Spanish fleet led by the ill-fated Viscaya. His words concerning Peruna have gone out into the world to be repeated by a thousand tongues because he has said them. Except for an in-born manly independence, in a country of free speech, these words never would have been uttered by an officer in such a notable position as that of Admiral Schley. Except for a world-wide notoriety and popularity, such as Peruna enjoys, no remedy could ever have received such cut spoken public endorsement by such a man.
