White Mar A C White Saloon Twelth Street, Entices A 13 Colored C Saloon RAVISH colored Men POLICE FAV editor—The colored population Twelfth street was thrown into state Wednesday afternoon, about 2 p. m., caused by a white saloonkeeper enticing a hired girl. 13 years of age, into our of his place of business and her. This outrage was duly by Dr. Unthank and Countee undertaking firm of Countee to the Journal and Star of our asked that publication be of the affair. A mob that was to wreck the saloon was reedy cooler heads, believing that we would do justice to us, and papers would take note of the Policemen were called and the saloon, then into the hall brought the little girl out; to the police station in the dragon, while the guilty brute was carried down in the. No notice at all was this outrage in the morning four city. If, however, the been that of a Negro man low bred white woman, in child an extra citation of the would have been published, being headlines; but this white turned loose at the police without even giving a hand not one single line up the papers. We are begin-ask ourselves where and to we eventually go for pro- striving to be law-abiding and we mean to push this all Negro children are by and of our police officials. We man in charge and turned without bond, left to the white brute of a saloon-woman wishes to outrage them. In cases of less magnitude make the law into their own here in this case when we the minions of the law to children from brutality on their sleeves and turn loose, and even protect relating to the police station wagon with the victim's physical brutality. We appeal this article to the people of unity to help us to save our much brutalism. We feel of the fact if we could only our of our best citizens the daily papers, which to a new molds public sentiment, --- diabolical than his Anglo-Saxon neighbor. Every black man who perpetrates a crime is paraded without mercy, and white men are shielded in crimes of greater magnitude. The case is now in the hands of Knox, Hueston & Wilson, attorneys, who, with the girl, appeared before the prosecuting attorney and a state warrant was issued for the criminal. Said firm will also assist in prosecuting the case, and we appeal to every good citizen to help us in seeing justice is duly meted out to this white scoundrel, the same as if he was a man of color; that we may feel we are living in a city where justice will be accorded to every man, irrespective to race, color or previous condition. THE NEGRO AS A CITIZEN. There are those in this country who, because of their inborn prejudice to the Negro fail to see any qualities in him worthy of commendation, or even, reciprocal respect. We submit that this class of our fellow-citizens look through their jaundice glasses and thus their sights are as delusive as their scenes; let them pull of their jaundice glasses and look through the lens of comman sense and calculate the Negroes worth in a common sense and practical way, the results which will be so convincing that in the light of our present civilization they will have more respect for the truth and the common-sense of others than to make such unjust and unreasonable Statements. The civilization by which we are invironed is the out-growth of Causesian brain and achievements; but it has taken them thousands of years to develop it. They, in this country point to their Geopge Washington their Webster, their Lincoln, their Blaine, their Reed and their McKinley as statesmen. They point to their Grant, their Lee their Sherma their Sheridan WICHITA, KANSAS JULY 8 1905 and their Dewey as warriors. They point to their Talmages and Bascomb as great preachers and pulpiters, but they are the product as we have said of years and years of training. Now' let us see if the Negro has shown any efficiency along the line above mentioned. First of all is he a soldier, and is he capable of martial prowess? We refer you to the war records of this country datings as far back as the Revolutionary war. As great preachers and as doctors their names are "legion" because they are maney. In this particular prifess ion it appears that the Negro has mape unparalled progress, for he does the entire practice' or very nearly so, of his entire race. Now all of this has been done within forty years. The comparison is a good one, and any fair-minded man will so conceive. This has been done, too, under the most adverse circumstances. Of course we have been helped by a few white men and women, but the great majority of the whites have fought the Negroes progress in every conceivable way despite this however he gradually rises, and will continue to do so for he is stronger now than he waa forty years ago. He has more of the weapons with which to help himself; so that he is bound to make for himself in th.s country a glorious future, "Let his motto be 'Trust in God and do the right.'" - Monitor.

As this will be the first time in the history of Kansas that a colored society ever held their annual Session in a new hall of their own The order in Kansas City Kan is just completeina a brand new hall which speaks very high of the work which is being done in that city by the order of Twelve Much credit is due Chief Grand Mentor, Sir Frank Wilson, and Chief High Preceptress Mrs; Emma Gaines of Topeka foI the very able manner in which they have worked to build up the order in this jurisdiction. It is hardly necessary to say that those who go Kans City to attend this session may expect a royal time= the people of Kans. City never loose an opportunity to shower their hospitality on visitors and on this occasion they will vie one or the other to make this the crowning effort of their hospitable activity. During the year ending July 15th 1905 the order has made a most wonderful progress in the Kansas—Nebraskp jurisdiction and the general reports of the officers will make a wonderful and very creditable showing. Reduced rates have been procured on all railroads for this occasion. Having had so many other casualties in actual experience it was no novelty at all for the battleship Texas to be sunk "theoretically." According to a Russian in London, Admiral Rojestvensky's name is pronounced with the accent on the second syllable. Can you manage it? Preparations are being made to exterminate the mosquitoes, but the odds are that the news isn't causing a boom in mosquito life insurance circles. Twelve of America's famous men wrote to an Iowa schoolboy that "the secret of success is real hard work," and eleven of the twelve were lawyers! King Alfonso made friends while he was in London, but there is no authority for the assertion that King Edward now familiarly calls him "Allie." A preacher has been asked to resign his pulpit because he uses an automobile. The dispatches do not say whether he inherited his money or married it. A New York man was fined $20 the other day for catching a trout that was less than six inches long. But the judge ought to have seen the one that got away! NO 10 NO MORE FRENCH "DAUGHTERS OF THE REGIMENT." Picturesque and One-Time Useful Battle Accessory Numbered With the Past—Will Be Remembered for Tender, Womanly Devotion. Child of the great revolution, reared in the reek of battles which set Europe ablaze; bespangled protege of the second empire, decorated by its chief on the field of Solferino; pensioner of the third republic, whose bloody inception she witnessed; heroine on many a stricken field; by turn of instrument of pleasure and angel of mercy, the cantiniere, her turn of duty done, has disappeared from the roll of the French army. The cantiniere sprang into existence in the person of Felicia Loguet, the wife of a cuirassier of the revolution. At 57 she strapped a barrel of brandy on her hip and followed her husband to the frontier. At Toulon she loaded and fired with her own hands a cannon at which all the detachment had been killed; at Hohenlinden a ball tore away a finger while she gave drink to two wounded hussars. "I still have left for my country," she said, and continued her work. At 77 she followed the grand army in its retreat from Moscow; wounded at Baautzen, she turned up again smiling during the campaign in France in 1814, sitting on the shaft of her cart, clothed in rags, her feet stitched into cavalry boots, an officer's cap cocked over one eye and wiping her glasses with a Russian flag. She died at last, after Waterloo, rather of rage than old age. The second empire was another brilliant page in the history of the "daughters of the regiment." Mme. Cros, of the Foot Chasseurs of the Guard, was decorated on the field of Solferino by the emperor's own hand, and the cantinieres of the First Zouaves, the Thirty-fourth regiment and the Empress' Dragoons all received the medal for the campaigns of 1861 and 1862. In the "Terrible Year" Mme. Saurin, of the Third Zouaves, made herself famous by killing with her own hand a German officer who attempted her capture. But the cantinieres of 70 will live in history rather for the tender, womanly devotion with which they tended the wounded under fire. And now the book of that history is closed. The 1.073 women, soberly uniformed in scarlet-piped blue have been numbered out of the service.—Paris Letter to Pall Mall Gazette. World's Greatest Doctor World's Greatest Doctor. There is a great physician who long ago began To clear away the troubles that come to pester man; Tis true he is old-fashioned, but many a friend will That puzzles other doctors would yield to this one's skill; He makes no heavy charges, and he is always near To serve you if you want him; his full name is Good Cheer. His practice should be world-wide, and daily it should grow; He serves in summer weather and when the wild winds blow; His night bed is in order, he answers every call; He gives no bitter doses and tortures not at all; And they have few diseases and stand in little fear Who always are serenely attended by Good Cheer. He does not deem the wealthy more worthy of his care Than are the poor who seek him. Where walls and floors are bare He ministers as freely as where the rich abide. And all asks in payment are hope and hope pride; The hope and pride that follow where duty's call is clear— Tis time to aid in spreading the practice of Good Cheer. He Was No Ornithologist. Witmer Stone, one of the heads of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, has gathered together what is probably the finest collection of stuffed birds in America. Mr. Stone was showing these birds the other day to a Pittsburgh millionaire. There were thousands of life-like feathered creatures, ranged in line on line of cases, and Mr. Stone could not help praising them with much ornithological warmth. "Yes," he ended, "this collection of stuffed birds is worth some thousands of dollars." "Is it possible?" said the millionaire. "What are they stuffed with?" W. N. MILLER, Editor.

How many columns of space do you suppose the first woman president's message would occupy? ing: Among the yellow perils that deserve attention the dandelion should not be carelessly overlooked. A new Whenever King Peter is annoyed because his crown sits uneasily he should remember how he got it. Mr. Rockefeller must have used a mashie when he drove his golf ball it to the robin's nest and broke three eggs. Russell Sage warns women to keep out of Wall street. Apparently "Uncle Russ" is not too old to be partial to the ladies. Johann Hoch claimed to be a great-grandson of Marshal Ney. It is always a safe claim to make. Nobody can disprove it. Twenty millionaires sailed from Europe on the same steamship. The power of affinity may send that boat on the rocks. A glass-eater has committed suicide because of too much competition, probably from persons trained at "quick lunches." "Who is Riley?" asks one of the leading London literary papers, speaking of American poetry. He's the man who keeps the hotel. George Ade played in a ball game the other day and didn't make a hit. The pen is mightier than the bat, as far as George is concerned. The London Outlook scores baseball as "disabolically noisy." To which it may be retorted that at all events it is not, like cricket, diabolically slow. Fighting has been resumed in the Jackson's Hole country. Isn't it about time to have the simple life established there, forcibly if necessary? Young Ziegler, who has inherited the duty of finding the north pole, may discover that a number of explorers are strongly disposed to contest the will. In an eastern divorce suit a woman was charged with being too fond of dry goods and the man of wet goods. Such a combination is grounds for divorce. The Montana train robber who has been sentenced to prison for fifty years ought to be thoroughly reformed before his term expires, if imprisonment can do it. The New York people are to be allowed to get drunk three times a year and go unpunished. Civic pride probably will make them stick to Manhattan cocktails. Justice Brewer thinks it possible that we may have a woman president "before gray hair shall cover the heads of the women here to-night." That was very gallant. A KIND ACT The Searchlight wishes to publicly thank Judge Claud C. Stanley and brother Hon Fred B. Stanley for their Kindness in permitting us their electric fans on the night of July 4th. It was a very kind act on the part of these two gentlemen and one highly appreciated by us We again thank them. OUR ANNIVEISARY We wish to thank our co ored and white friends who responded so nicely in aiding us to make our Seventh annivegary a success. Owing to the fact, that another entertainment was given at anoter hall on the same night, which divided the crowd, we decided at the last moment to not have the liter ary program renderad at that time, but will in near future. We feel more that gratful to those who came forth to patronize us so nicely and we trust to be able to remain on their list. We did some what better than we expected under circumstances and we uave no words of complaint to make—rallied while. We thank you on eand all colored and white. IS AN UNCLE NOW W. N. Miller editor, received word from Kans. City Kans. this week that he now has the proud title o "uncle."

STOCK When the -horse was first. domesti- cated he was never shod and was used as a beast of burden for centuries be- fore the idea of shoeing bim entered the mind of man, The first shoes put on horses were of leather, It is supposed, while many ‘other materials were tried before iron was finally adopted, Tt was not till the fifth century aft- er Christ that iron shoes were gen- erally adopted, probably first for army horses that hed to travel long dis tances over hard roads. Iron shoes on war horses were a great help to the warriors that. first conceived of the idea of using them, as they enabled the shod horses to 0 further without giving out than could the unshod horses. It would doubtless be a good idea to have some way of preventing ama- tours and ineompetents from shoeing horses, Some men think they know all aheut shoeing a horse, when they can tell the names of the tendons and bones in a horse’s foot. + The bottom of a horse's foot Is fibrous and horny, like the wall. It is thiekest at the border and thinnest in the center. When the foot of the horse fs healthy the horny matter on the bot- tom of tho foot seales off in flakes, and this helps the farrier to deter- miné how. much he should pare off. The blacksmith should not do much paring of the bottom of the foot, Na- ture will mostly look out for that, and for the casting off of the waste has provided the sealing process—Henry McCall, Harper Co., Kans, in Farm- hep ae ae oe ‘The Horeetail Poisonous.

More Interest in Sheep. I believe that the sheep is yet to have his inning in the middie West, though at the present time he is looked upon as a source of very little profit. The ranchmen must be finding some profit in sheep or they would uot continue to raise them and send them to the markets by the tens of thousands as they do now. If the ranchmen can raise them, lose thot sands by all kinds of accidents, and pay the cost of shippmg chem to Chi- eago, and beyond all get a profit cat of them, why cannot we farmers that are living under the shadow of ihe slockyards find a profit somewiere. I realize the fact that our land is higher in price than the land of the far West, but the price of land is after all ouly a question of so much interest on in- vestment. Qn land worth $100 per acre the interest should not be figured at more than five dollars, and each acre will support five sheep, or should. That means the interest charge for each sheep is $1, and this goes to offset. a good many little charges that must be ficured on the range sheep. More interest is being manifested in sheep. as is indicated by the fact that some of our experiment stations are beginning (o look into the matter, and are planning experiments to help out the sheep breeder. One thing that convinces me that there fs money in sheep is the fact that some of our most stccessful’ and _best-educated farmers in the central West are rais- ing sheep and have been for a genera- tion, They would not continue in the usiness if there was no money In it. If they can pick up money with sheep others can do the same—Harry Os- porne, Cerro Gordo Co, la., in Farm- ers’ Review. ‘The wise stockman will lay out his plans to run through many years and will follow those plans through good and bad conditions. For the general trade, the keeping quality of butter is more important than its bigh flavor. peer Fowls require a greater variety. of food than any other of our farm ant mals. They are neither vegetarians nor meat eaters solely, but are both. in their wild state they have been compelled to adapt themselves to ail kinds of food, and so de best if many isinds of food are provided for them, which appears to be the case with man. By a little forethoght at this rime of year a large variety of food can be produced for winter use of the fowls. Here and there in spare places in the garden should be sown seeds of plants likely to be useful to the fowls during winter. Among them should be the carrot and cabbage, which are always appreciated by the fowls when othe!*sreen and succulent (ood cannot be obtained. ‘The thing that is generally wanting in the poultry raifon is meat, which 1s of prime importance to fowls. One needs but to watch fowls feed to discover that they have a greater liking for meat than for any ather form of food. Notice them in the field where there are grasshop- pers. How quickly they will turn from grein to chase a grasshopper or to pursue a bug! Give them all the grain and green ‘stuf! they can eat and they will leave them to seraich up the angle worm they suspect may be in the plowed ground. When the scraps from the kitchen table are thrown out, notice how the hens pick out the meat scraps first and run away with them. We should increase the meat ration both suinmer and winter, Cochins. ‘The Cochin is the breed that was responsible for the “hen fever” in the middle of the last century. They originated in China where they had doubtless been bred for generations, and were imported into this country about 1847 or 1848. The publig was taken by storm, for up to that time it was acquainted with only the com- mon European fowls, of much smal- ler size and the old English Dorking. The desire to possess a Cochin made it easy to get fancy prices for them, and the few men that had them to sell told great stories of their wonder- ful virtues. The public easily ac- cepted all thai was claimed for them and began to raise the price for good birds. A Keon competition set in and the scramble to get hold of the Co chins developed into_a_ “poultry mania,” as it was termed by writers of that day. Both in this country and in England as high as $500 was paid for a single bird, When the market was fully supplied a reaction set in, and since that time the Cochins have never enjoyed the high favor in which they then stood. In the course of years new varieties of the Cociins appeared, till now we have the Buff Cochins, White Cochins, Black Cochins and Partridge Cochins with some variations even in these. ‘Roun. This is a quite common dis- ease, of which there are several va- rieties. Two principal varieties are prevalent, one in the summer and the other in the winter. Of the two, the summer disease is considered the more fatal. The best treatment for roup Is to Kill the birds and bury them deep away from the other fowls. Some doctor valuable birds, and one of the processes used is to dissolve two ounces of permanganate of potash in six and one-half pints of water. Into this solution the head of the fowl is placed and kept as long as possible without choking the bird to death. ‘This causes sneezing and opens the way for the medicine to come into contact with the diseased membrane. Repeat two or three times morning and evening. Dilute some of this so- Intion three times and give it to the fowl to drink, giving no other drink. eeehadl aeen This trouble is caused by a mite whieh burrows underneath the scales of the feet and legs caus- ing an irritation which results in a multiplication of the cells of the epi- dermis, and, therefore, a much thick ened scale.. To suecesstully treat this disease the scales must first he re- moved so that the metlicine can come in contact with the mites. The legs must be soaked in soapy water until the scales are soft when they may be removed. Dry thoroughly and’ treat with the following: Balsam of Peru two drachms to one ounce of vase line. Mix thoroughly. ‘The disease readily yields to treatment if the first step, that of removing the scales, has been properly done.—J. J. Vernon. An Artificial Egg.

If American prices fail or tbose in Japan advanee the time may come when our butter will be a staple arti cle of commeree in the Japanese mar- ket. At the-present time the Japanese are busing their butter fram countries other than America. Australasia seems to have the advantage of most countries in this regard, and New Zealand is especially favored. They can afford to make butter at a little less price than the Americans and have no large market at home for it. ‘They are enabled therefore to sctid a good share of their exportable butter to Japan, while other butter is going around the cape of Goodhope to Ene- land.

What is the use of waiting till the calves become cows before taking off the horns? When the calves are young and horns are incipient is the time to do the work of dehorning. The horn is soft at the time the calf is say five days old, and that is when the Gehorning should be done. No saw is needed, oniy a stick of caustic potash, which can be purchased at any druggist’s for a few cents. Put some paper around the stick of pot- ash so that the moisture from the hand will not cause injury to the hand. Moisten the end of the stick slightly, but not enough so that the liquid will ran down on the flesh of the animal and perhaps into the eyes. With the potash rub the tip of the horn till a slight impression has been made on the center of the horn. Some make the application about four times, leaving an interval of five minutes between the applications. Usually a litle blood wili appear in the center of the horn tip. After the application do not turn the calves out if it is rain- ing, as the rain will wash the potash down into the eyes of the animals.— Adelbert Shadberger, Boone Co., Mo. ‘Sulat ot Pattanina Animate: Probably all stockmen have noticed that animals fatten best when they are quiet, and they have also discovered that it is possible for animals to “run the fat off their bodies.” This is no fancy. The student of the animal frame knows that the process by which fat is “run off” animals is a simple one. All the carbonic acid gas that is thrown off the lungs comes from material that if not thrown off would be made into fat or that has been fat. The more active an animal is the more rapidly he breathes, which is necessary if he is to keep up thé creation of energy. It is just as it is in a steam engine. The faster the engine goes the fiercer must the fire burn that is changing the carbon (coal) inte gas, and the fire can only burn brightly if there is a good draft to supply oxygen. ‘The breathing of the animal is the same as the draft in the smokestack of the engine. Its only purposes are to take in oxygen and cast ont the carbonic acid gas. We save coal by not running the en: gine and we save fat by not running the animal. Score Card for Dairies. Professor” 8. A. Serson = Cornell. University has been one of the most active dairy scientists for years. In addition to the usual work of the dairy professor he has recently invented or studied out a score card for dairies. Some of the farmers’ clubs in the state of New York have declared it of great value to the dairy interest in its stimulating effect. The five chief heads of this score card are: (1). Healih of the herd and its protection. (2) Cleani ness of the cows and thelr surround: ings. (3) Utensils. (4) Attendants. (5) Handling the milk. Twenty points are counted for each division, the ag: gregate being 100. Small Hog Houses. In states where hog cholera is an annual —_visitant, —_ the small hog house is to be preferred to the large one, though with the small house it requires more work to take care of the hogs than in the large hovse. The houses that are movable present advantages that the big hicases do. not, as the small movaile ones may be placed in any fieli where it is desired to pastare the hozs. The donger from disease is thus greatly ve- duced and the grazing of d:e swine may be better controlled than in any other way, BR On every farm where hogs are raised there should be a pen strongly built for the pur pose of keeping by themselves all hogs that may be purchased for the farm. This same pen may be also used for the segregating of animals that may show signs of being sick. A precau- tion of this kind will sometimes check an attack of cholera at its begining.

Largely Made Up of Shredded Royalty, Says Traveler. A traveler in Egypt writes: "With all its heat and dust the desert has its charms. True, the desert dust is an affliction, for when certain evil winds blow the desert is shrouded in dust—vast swirling clouds, through which no eye can see. But when the dust storms have blown over and the desert is calm again you forget the dust. For the desert dust is dusty dust, but not dirty dust. Compared with the awful organic dust of New York, London or Paris it is inorganic and pure. "On those strips of the Libyan and Arabian deserts which lie along the Nile the desert dust is largely made up of shredded royalty, of withered Ptolemies, of faded Pharaohs, for the tombs of kings and queens are counted here by the hundreds and of their royal progeny and their royal retainers by the thousands. Those desiccated dynasties have been drying so long that they are now quite antiseptic. "Dust of these dead and gone kings makes extraordinarily fertile soil for vegetable gardens when irrigated with the rich waters of the Nile. Their mummies are also said to make excellent pigments for the brush. Rameses and Setos, Cleopatra and Hatasu—all these great ones dead and turned to clay—when properly ground make a rich umber paint highly popular with artists." HAD BEST OF SITUATION. Boy Knew Just How Far He Might Trespass. With both hands more or less occupied in holding a large tray of chocolates, he was standing at a William street corner, singing the cheapness of his wares in a voice decidedly Italian. When any one wanted to buy, he carefully adjusted the tray on his left hand, and made the exchange with his right. It was necessary, during this operation, to be very still, so as not to overturn his wares. Presently a messenger boy can't along, and sizing up the situation, swaggered up to the tray, slowly picked out the fattest chocolate, and inserted it in his mouth. Then he leered. The Italian was all of a tremble with motions that he didn't dare let loose. First he shifted the tray to one hand, then to the other, yet never daring to strike for fear of spilling his candy. The boy still leered, and just as he started to go, delicately, nonchalantly, picked another chocolate. The Italian looked frantically around for some place to set his tray down, and while he looked, kept calling in a voice as mild's honey: "Come here, little boy, come here." Whereupon the boy took to his heels.—New York Evening Post. Jefferson's Prayer and Poultrice. The late Joseph Jefferson was suddenly taken ill while visiting at the home of a friend. The wife of the gentleman whose hospitality he had enjoyed became alarmed over his condition, and, being of a religious turn of mind, wished to instill in the mind of the actor her belief in the necessity for spiritual contemplation. A call to his room for the purpose of applying a poulice gave her the much desired opportunity. "Mr. Jefferson," she said, nervously shifting the poulice from one hand to the other, "for your sake, for the sake of your friends, your family, I—I would like to pray for you." The actor listened attentively, and his answer came slowly. "Yes, madam," he said, "you may—for my sake, for your sake, for everybody's sake, but for heaven's sake put on that poulice." Twins for Prof. Hart. Prof. Hart of Harvard, classmate of President Roosevelt, wanted to adopt twins a few years ago, and inserted an "ad" in the Boston papers. He stipulated that they must be of American parentage, good and healthy, and not have a spot or a blemish of any description; the parents must be of good standing, and must surrender all claim. He was surprised at the number of replies he received. One day he was called to his front door by his maid to look at the twins in a baby carriage. They fulfilled all requirements, but, unfortunately, were little colored babies. Senator Treats School Children. Senator Treats School Children.

Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed Constipated All His Life Wilbert Thompson never knew a well day—he had been constipated all his life—many doctors treated him, but all failed to even help him—his health failed rapidly and on January 21, 1903, Mrs. Thompson asked us to suggest a treatment for her husband. We thought the case too serious and recommended that a specialist be consulted—but he also failed to help the patient—NOW HE IS WELL. Mrs. Thompson first wrote us as follows: "My husband, aged 23, suffers from sharp pains in his stomach and sometimes thinks it is his heart. Let me know by return mail what causes the pain, if you can. Mr. Thompson has been treated by several doctors, but they have given him up." Mrs. Thompson wrote to me: "We want to sell Mull's Grape Tonic, because we know it will cure constipation, but 50c, a bottle is no object to us when a human life is at stake, and if your husband's case is as serious as you state, we suggest you consult a reliable specialist, not the advertising kind, promptly." At the same time, knowing that Mull's Grape Tonic could do no harm, we advised its use. Physician Paul he consulted. January 13, 1903, Mr. Thompson had been consulted. His diagnosis was constipation and dyspepsia. His treatment was faithfully, but there was no perceptible improvement in Mr. Thompson's health. Then he began taking Mull's Grape Tonic and on September 3, 1903, we received the following letter from Mrs. Thompson: "You will remember that I wrote to you last January in regard to my husband's health. It is four months since he quit taking Mull's Grape Tonic for constipation, which he suffered from since birth. He took just 24 bottles of it and is perfectly cured. He is much stronger and has gained considerably in flesh. I cannot thank you enough for Mull's Grape Tonic. 'It is worth its weight in gold.' Just $12 cured him and he has spent hundreds of dollars with doctors who did him no good. It did all you claimed it would." Very respectfully yours, MRS. W. H. THOMPSON, 801 Main St, Pooria, Ill. Mr. Thompson stopped taking Mull's Grape Tonic in June, 1903. He has been completely cured and has taken no other medicine since that date. Almost two years and no return of the disease, should prove permanent cure. The $1. QO bottle contains nearly three times as much as the 50 cent size.

I received your kind letter of instructions and followed your advice. I am not only a well woman in consequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. I would like to thank you in the land of wisdom write you for advice, as you have done so much for me." This world is pretty large and each occupant has a duty to fulfill to keep their own atmosphere pure. Profits of the Packers. There has been a great deal of disappointment because the Garfield report shows that the profits of the packing industry only amount to about two per cent of the volume of business transacted. There is no doubt, however, that the report is correct. Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. No other medicine in all the world has such a record of cures of female troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Therefore no prudent woman will accept any substitute which a druggist may offer. The census reports compiled by the government in 1900, before the agitation regarding the "beef trust" began, throw considerable light on this question. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America. The gross margin of profit of 871 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per cent on the volume of business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Illinois was only about one-third as large, or a little more than two per cent on the volume of business. If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special advice. It is free and always helpful. When Answering Advertisements Kindly Mention This Paper. Air castles tumble down because they have no foundation. The millers have not been accused of being in a "trust," and combinations would seem impossible in a business where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively for the flour trade, but it appears that the gross profits of the packers are larger than the gross profits of the packers. It may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing industry will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: "All squeal and no wool." — American Homestead.

A portion of the wall which was built around old London by the Romans is now being destroyed by builders. The part which has been laid bare is seven feet in height and has a thickness of eight and a half feet and about fifty feet of its length has been exposed. It is founded on gravel and at the bottom is a course of flints and clay. Upon these are built up two layers of stout burned tiles, of the common Roman pattern, and then comes rough-dressed masonry. The tilts and the masonry alternate; in the seven feet of the wall's height there are three courses of each, held together by cement, which is so firm that it blunts the tools of the workmen who are endeavoring to destroy it. Throughout the neighborhood this wall serves as the foundation for modern buildings. The offices adjoining the excavations now complicated by the wall's presence are in part supported on it.

Clawson, well known here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad, all her acquaintances know. They also know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her cure as follows: "I was an invalid for most five years caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism, helpless two-thirds of the time. The first year I could not do as much as a baby could do, then I rallied a little bit and then a relapse. Then a year ago the gout set in my hands and feet. I suffered untold agony and in August, 1903, when my husband died I could not ride to the grave. "I only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could wait on myself and saw my own wood. I dug my own potatoes and gathered my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me." Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid out of the blood. Keeping Water Cool Stone jars with tight covers are the best kind of vessel to keep purified water in, for they are easily filled and handled, and may be set in an ice chest to cool. Once cold the heavy ware keeps cool for hours, even when taken from the ice box. Almost the only objection to boiled water for drinking purposes is the difficulty of keeping it cool. This is rather hard to accomplish in the summer, unless you put it in a porcelain lined cooler. If you could see as far ahead as successful men you would find out they take no chances. THE MONTHLY TRIAL HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING-DOWN PAINS. A Woman Tells How She Has Become Well and Strong after Years of Misery Due to Irregular Functions. The fact that one woman is bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheerful, while another is pale, weak and depressed, is due more often than otherwise to the regularity in the one case and the irregularity in the other of the functions that are peculiar to the sex. When these are disturbed everything goes wrong; pain and discomfort are felt all over the body; the sensations are often terrifying. "For four years." said Mrs. Davis recently, "I suffered indescribable misery from sick headache every month, accompanied by fainting spells, shortness of breath and severe pain in my left side. There were also bearing-down pains, at times so acute that I could not stand up, and my head was full of ringing sounds. It seemed as if everything was going to hit me in the eyes. I was compelled to lie down with closed eyes for hours to get a little relief. When I attempted to arise everything would whirl around and it would grow so dark that I could scarcely see any object." "Couldn't your doctor help you?" "Five doctors in all treated me, but I got no lasting benefit. Besides I used a lot of advertised remedies. The only medicine, however, that had the desired effect was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they are truly a godsend to women. I did not have much faith in them when I began to take them. I found myself, however, so much better after using two boxes that I began to believe in them. They checked right away the decline into which I was going. My troubles kept lessening and finally disappeared altogether." "How long did it take for a cure?" "After I had used several boxes my health was all right. I had taken on flesh and was strong and hearty. I feel today in spirits more like a girl of sixteen than a woman of my years." Mrs. C. H. Davis' address is Carmel, Maine, R. F. D., No. 2. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are confidently offered to women for the cure of anemia, chlorosis, painful and irregular periods, and all forms of weakness. They are sold by every druggist.

Defiance Cold Water Starch has no equal in Quantity or Quality—16 oz. for 10 cents. Other brands contain only 12 oz. If you don't realize things without being told you are ignorant without influence. 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 up in ¾ 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 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. More Sorrow Than Anger. Sweden views Norway's secession more with sorrow than with anger.

The most startling of all Constant's revelations is that describing Napoleon's attempt at suicide when Mormout, Berthier and the rest left him naked to his enemies. Constant, in one of his earlier volumes, described a tailsmail wrapped in silk and leather which, ever since the Egyptian campaign Napoleon wore round his neck. It contained, according to Constant, the poison which the emperor took immediately after his signature of the deed of abdication. He then sent for Constant, and thus addressed him: "Constant, I am dying! I could not bear the torture any more, and the humiliation of seeing myself surrounded by foreign agents. They have trailed my eagles through the mire. Marmont has given me my final blow. That Berthier should have forsaken me cuts to the core! My old friends! My old comrades in arms!" However, either the weakness of the poison or the skill of Yvan, the doctor, saved his life. From T. P.'s Weekly, London. IN COLONEL'S TOWN Things Happen. From the home of the famous "Keyhnel Keeyartah of Cartersville," away down South, comes an enthusiastic letter about Postum: "I was in very delicate health, suffering from indigestion and a nervous trouble so severe that I could hardly sleep. The doctor ordered me to discontinue the use of the old kind of coffee, which was like poison to me, producing such extreme disturbance that I could not control myself. But such was my love for it that I could not get my own consent to give it up for some time, and continued to suffer, till my father one day brought home a package of Postum Food Coffee. "I had the new food drink carefully prepared according to directions, and gave it a fair trial. It proved to have a rich flavor and made a healthy, wholesome and delightful drink. To my taste the addition of cream greatly improves it. "My health began to improve as soon as the drug effect of the old coffee was removed and the Postum Coffee had time to make its influence felt. My nervous troubles were speedily relieved and the sleep which the old coffee drove from my pillow always came to soothe and strengthen me after I had drunk Postum—in a very short time I began to sleep better than I had for years before. I have now used Postum Coffee for several years and like it better and find it more beneficial than when I first began. It is an unspeakable joy to be relieved of the old distress and sickness."

French Authorities Fire Usual Salute and Extend Courtesies Remains Will be Embarked at This Port Immediately Cherbourg, July 3.—The American squadron, consisting of the armored cruiser Brooklyn (flag ship) and two protected cruisers Chattanooga, Tacamo and Galveston, which was detached from the North Atlantic fleet and placed under the command of Rear Admiral Sigseb to escort to the United States the remains of Admiral John Paul Jones, arrived at this port, where the remains will be embarked. All the vessels were granted pratique by the French authorities upon their arrival. Upon entering the harbor the Brooklyn fired a national salute of twenty guns and after the return of this salute from the arsenal the flagship fired fifteen guns in honor of Vice Admiral Besson, commander in chief of the French northern squadron. The passage of the war ships was made at an average speed of 12 knots in all weather, nearly the entire run being in an area of low barometric pressure with consequent thick and rainy weather. The squadron maintained its formation in column throughout, stopping only once and then only to transfer some men from the Tacoma to the Brooklyn. The Brooklyn communicated by wireless telegraph with the Hamburg-American line steamer Deutschland, eastward bound, late Monday, and with the American line steamer New York, westward bound, at about the same time. Under the management of the bureau of equipment, interesting experiments were made in Wireless telegraphy, various types of receivers being installed on board the Brooklyn. A message from Cape Cod was received 1,040 miles at sea, although the weather conditions were not favorable. During the voyage Rear Admiral Sigbee communicated the signal to the squadron all details for the landing of a guard of honor as an escort to the remains from Paris to Cherbourg. This escort will include more than 500 men under arms. On board the Brooklyn a catafalque was constructed on the port side of the gun deck immediately forward of the cabin. The casket will rest on a wooden dais. Mourning curtains are draped in double folds, and the canopy on the inside is decorated with French and Russian ensigns and an American jack, representing the three naval services in which Admiral Jones held command. The casket will be draped with an American ensign and the catafalque with a silk American flag provided by the Daughters of the American Revolution, through their president, Mrs. Donald McLean.

Marquis Oyama, commanding the Japanese forces in Manchuria, is extremely careful about his health. He totally abstains from all liquors and restricts his smoking to three cigars a day. The hour of his exercise is fixed and at times he goes out shooting. When in Japan his weight was 175 pounds, but this has been decreased during the present campaign by twenty-five pounds. His health is considered to have been greatly improved by this. Skeletons in Trenches. A curious discovery has been made in the course of some excavations that have been in progress in St. Martin de Re, in France. The excavators unearthed trenches in which lay skeletons which were presumably those of the citizens who fell fighting there in defending the town against the English in 1627. Among the skeletons was found a spherical iron bomb containing a moist black powder, which was found to consist of about a third of nitre, a third of carbon and a fifth of sulphur, the remainder being iron oxide derived from the rusting of the iron shell. You may be blessed with many good thoughts and yet be unable to control some little influence that spoils the best part of it.

LOUIS Bernhardt Again Furious Sarah Bernhardt is again furious at the French government, which in conferring the Legion of Honor on Adelina Patti wounded the tragedienne in the way that hurts her most. The distinction was given Patti in recognition of the fact that she took part in concerts for French charities. Marie Laurent is the only French actress to receive the coveted ribbon. It was be stowed on her as a recognition of her work in founding the asylum for the orphans of actors rather than her talent as an actress and the honor was plainly meant for the woman and not the actress. Hereditary Spanish Law Hereditary Spanish Law Suit. Marquis De Viana and Count Teres De Cabrera, two Spaniards of ancient lineage, are opponents in the suit which was begun in 1517 and still sub justice. The case consists of a pension, and the accumulated sum in dispute would have reached lous millions had not four centuries of attorneys, barristers and court officials taken considerable measures to appropriation to prevent it become too unwieldy to be dealt with. Wicked people have just as relied sensitives as good people, in their concentration of thought, in traced through their own character.
