Admission Ethern Press On the Georgia Lynching NE DAY last month The Union, of Jacksonville, in a cheerful and congratu editorial, expressed pleas-the fact that lynching was wane in the South. This freely one week before a hndred armed and white men broke into a lynched eight prisoners savagery, as The Chicago-Herald declares, that inconceiveable to civilized was outside of the mob' This disgrace to Georred at Wilkinsville, with miles of the State Union June 29th. The victims the white man charged with which he strenuously de two colored men charged the same crime, which they had to have "confessed" one man charged with the crime", but whose guilt had been established, one col man who had already been tried to be hanged, one col man charged with shooting the coloreh man, and another man charged with the rifle. A ninth colored scape by feigning death theanchers had ridden a Governor Terrell has offer-ward for the capture of others, and the citizens of Jacksonville have pledged their officials in hunting them These facts, in spite of the crime that was perpe- furnish, as The Times—declares, "the best possi- of our statement that king is on the wane," for, --- continues this paper, "the time was, and not long ago, when the better classes would have stopped with deploring the event," Indeed, The Times-Union is fully justified in taking this view, if comment of the Southern press upon the bloody and cowardly afair is a true index of public feeling. The great majority of the Southern newspapers condemn the Watkinsville lynching in unmeasured terms, and are demanding that the leaders of the mob be punished as a warning to the future. Says the Louisville Courier-Journal: "The excitement to the deed was occasioned by a case of criminal assault, altho all the victims were not accused of the crime, and some of them were under arrest for minor misdemeanors. This serves to illustrate the great wrong committed against law and justice when mob law is resorted to. In the blindness of passion no discrimination is made in the degree of guilt, and the innocent are treated with the same severity as the guilty. But there is no need of argument to condemn such lawlessness. It deserves upon its face the condemnation of every citizen who has a stake in the security of life and property, and such acts should brand the perpetrators as enemies to society worthy of punishment with the most guilty of their victims. If such acts are tolerated, even for the gravest offenses, they will soon be resorted to for lester crimes or for avenging personal grievances. It has cost too many years of struggle to establish our system of judicial trial, as the safeguard of law and the surest means of punishing crime, to permit such usurpation of its functions by lawless mobs." But such, exclaims the Richmond Times—Dispatch, has mob law always been. "There is no trial. There is no deliberation. There is no respect of persons. When the mob goes on the rampage, no man's WIGHITA, KANSAS AUG 12 1905 life is safe. The citizen who remonstrates with them and the jailor who resists them were luck y that they were not numbered among the victims." And the Raleigh News and Ob server, after referring to the occurrence as one which "inflames prejudice against the South,' and "is naturally productive of harmful general censure," attempts to fix the responsibility and says: , 'Split hairs over the matter as they may, the officers of the law who fail to enforce the law can not escape responsibility for outrages committed against society. They may cajole a supine public opinion with protestations of their innocence and rectitude, but when the final reckoning of human affairs is made, blood-guiltiness will be among the sins for which they will have to seek forgiveness. " Many other Southern papers are holding the Governor and sheriff accountable for the crime, and are calling upon these officials to make every effort to capture the lynchers and bring them to punishment. Thus the Savanah News declares: "The Governor should do something more than simply offer large rewards. He should emply the best detective talent there is to be had, and he should continue the hunt for the lynchers as long as there is possibility of finding them. If such barbarous deeds are to be allowed to go unpunished we shall get a name for lawlessness that can not be lived down in a generation. Immigrants will avoid us and capital will shun us. Our prosperity, of which we boast so much, will shrivel. The Governor must do more than promise and offer rewards. He must take hold of the matter in a way that indicates that he mean business, and which will encourage the people of the section where the crime was committed to lend him a helping hand," The Macon (Ga.) Telegram also calls upon the Governor and sheriff to act, but at the same time it acknowledges that they will have a hard time in bringing the criminals to book, for it seem that the immunity of the different members of a mob of Southern lynchers is usually secured by assassination or threatening to assassinate all who try to bring them to trial. We quote the following, substantially verbatim from the Telegraph: "Sheriff Overby of Oceonee County has an opportunity such as rarely comes to a man, to distinguish himself in the service of the state. He should not wait for the Governor to act, but should proceed, upon his own motion and in his own way, to apprehend the members of the mob who slaughtered eight of the inmates of the jail under his direct care. Oceonee is a small county and is not thick ly settled. It is hardly conceivable that the names of those who composed the mob cannot be learned, if the sheriff has the moral courage to undertake an honest investigation. However, we know very well how such investigation are thwarted as a rule. It is no trivial matter to endeavor to penetrate a veil of neighborhood secrecy. The local officer runs the risk of being killed himself if he becomes too hot on the trail. Many a one, in the past, has been shot from the ambush. Jurors tremble at the thought of being summoned should a ny of the lynchers be brought to trial. As blood thirsty as the latter showed themselves to be at Wilkinsville, they will be likewise desperate in protecting themselves' COLORED GROCERY STORE. Every colored person in Wichita ought to feel highly pleased over the fact that at last the race has a grocery store opened which is owned and controlled by colored men; and not only should they feel proud and well pleased with this but evry colored person should show their color by trading at this store. Messrs. Thos. Glover, Jas. L. Hraper, Sandy E. Patton and Edward Landrum have moved the store to the Odd Fellow building, 517 N. Main street and have a line of goods that will satisfy any. Now let the colored people do their duty and go to this store at 517 N. Main and buy your groceries. If you have only 5c to spend go there and spend it. Colored people have been talking for a long time about a colored grocery store, now you have one—do your duty and spend your money with them. This store is open for business only and the colored people owe it to themselves to go there to do their trading. Let us be men and women and show that we appreciate race enterprises by giving our trade to the colored grocery store, 517 N. Main street. AFFIRMED BY SUPREME COURT Special Dispatch to The Age. Jacksonville, Fla., July 29.—The (State Supreme Court today affirmed the decision of Judge Call that the Avery law for separating the races on street cars is unconstitutional. The appeal was taken by County Sollicitor Bryan in order to get a final settlement of the matter covering the whole state. Africa For Africans Attempts To Suppress Natives Hasten Day of Their Control Already the colored man is a formidable force in the game of party politics in one—and the oldest—South African colony. The native vote in this colony has become so large, and the natives are pressing their numerical advantage so strongly, that the whites have already raised the question of a suffrage limitation to save themselves from political annihilation. But it is clear enough that this expedient will not save them. The population of Cape Colony, including the territories, is in round numbers, 1,200,-000, and the white population 377,000. Day by day the power of the native grows. The gate of the political arena stands wide open to him, and he is not slow to enter. The Negroes everywhere are a remarkably fecund race, much faster than the whites. Africa is first of all the black man's country, and all that climatic conditions and the congenial environment of a native habitat can do to help him in his struggle upward are there. To all other influences now tending to the development of the Negro to a higher social and political rank must be added the force of education. FoFr in South Africa, as in this country, the Negroes "take" to education with remarkable readiness and success. According to the Cape Government educational report, published three months ago, the actual number of children receiving education in the public schools of the colony at the end of the last year was 91,313 colored and 60,849 white. The natives are awakening from the slumber of centuries, and there is no more remarkable feature of this awakening than their almos insatiable thirst for knowledge. Cape Colony and the territories are literally covered with native schools, the territories alone having several hundreds. These These schools are manned very largely by native teachers who have passed one or other of the Cape University qualifying examinations. All this means, in brief, and in plain language, that South Africa is surely destined at no distant day to come under native rule, to be governed by Negroes for Negroes. Attempts at disenfranchisement and limitations of the suffrage will only hasten the day of Negro supremacy.—Norman Notwood in Leslie's Weekly. No man admires a flirt, no man cares for a girl or woman who is willing to take pride for flattery. The girl who flirts thinks she is very wise and that she is making a great hit with the fellow with whom she flirts. She would have a very different idea of the matter, very truly remarks the Galena (Mo.) Republican, if she could know his real opinion—if she could hear his account of the incident as he tells it to to the "oother fellers." There is no such thing as a "harmless" flirtation. No person may put his finger in the fire without getting the mark. No girl can indulge in a flirtation without "being considered cheap" and "shallow." The fear that the other girls do the same thing is NO 15 Negro Rules Negro Councilman of Wilmington Delaware, Holds Key. Wilmington, Del.. Aug. 10.—With no particular partisan feeling in his dusky breast, but with a keen appreciation of "the main chance," Thomas E. Postles, a Negro, has made himself the principle figure in city politics, though by so doing he has very much narrowed the chances of "Gas" Addicks ever to wear the toga of a United States Senator. Postles was elected to the City Council at the recent election as an Addicks Republican, and he was expected to be properly humble and to vote as he was told. Had he done so the Democratic officials would have been turned out of office, for, counting Postles, the new Council consisted of seven Republicans and six Democrats. Now, however, it consists of six Democrats, six Republicans and Postles, for last night Postles bolted the Republican caucus and made a deal with the Democrats. The result was the election of five of his nominees for city offices, two of them being Negroes, and one of the two being Postles' son, Joseph E. Postles, who was elected City Treasurer's clerk. The other Negro is George W. Anderson, balliff of Council. The fury of the Republicans, whose caucus nominees were all defeated, causes Postles to roar with laughter. He says he is not afraid of what any of the white Councilmen may do, for he knows the Democrats and Republicans will never work together and, therefore, he has the whip hand. The particularly repugnant thing to the Republicans is the giving of the Treasurer's clerkship to Postle's son. In this they declare they will defeat him, and a subscription has been started to hire a white man to do the work of the office, keeping young Postles out, though he must get the salary. Four hundred white school teachers are up in arms and threatening not to accept their checks if they are made out by young Postles. The blame for the whole muddle is thrown on John Edward Addicks, because Postles is one of his followers.—Enquirer. We are glad that once in a while we find a Negro that acts just like white men. It was thought by the Wilmington Republicans that because Mr. Postle was a Negro he must be bound to their party regardless of the indignities they would heap at his door. No Negroes were to receive anything, notwithstanding the close margin. But oh! the Republicans made a mistake. They found one Negro with manhood in him. We need some Postles in Kansas and other Northern cities to teach the Republican leaders to keep pace perhaps slowly, but by and by.

" To Live and Let Live, " is OUR Motte. MUST BE STOPPED The Searchlight has been watching with disgust for the past few months the inclination of certain grown up men to push themselves upon the young girls of this community. It is a thing which should not be countenanced and a thing which we will use every effort in our power to cause to be stopped, because we believe it is wrong. At the very best of conditions the girls of our race have a hard time to retain their girlish virtue and when the grown up men use every contrivance in their power to ensnare them—their lot becomes trebly hard. From a general point of view there are more girls ruined by grown up men than from any other source known. It has been intimated that this is a very "delicate subject" and one which The Searchlight "ought not to touch"—but those who know the Searchlight best, know that when it comes to speaking the right thing we will do so every time regardless to the "delicacy" of the subject or the consequences, and "let the chips fall where they will." In this regard we say positively that this practice must stop. It is wrong and brings with it no good results to the race. We will content ourselves in this issue by calling the attention of fathers, mothers and guardians to this matter and notifying all of our intention of enlarging upon this subject by giving the names of all parties concerned should this be kept up. Let the men pick as their associates women of their own age, and not seek to "keep company" with girls—mere babies as compared to them—and let the girls shun these "girl mashers" and be content to remain with girls and boys. Mothers should bear in mind that there is no use closing the door after the horse is stolen. Lock the doors while the horse is in the barn and he is safe. We think that a hint to the wise should be sufficient. PATRONIZE THE STORE The colored grocery store is in readiness to supply you with anything, you may want in their line.

McSweeney, of this city, and other Kansas City packing house men, are figuring on building an independent plant in some Kansas town, and overtures have been made to both Topeka and Fort Scott. The plant as proposed will have a killing capacity of 250 cattle and 500 hogs per day. It will cost in the neighborhood of $250,000, employing 250 men, and will have a payroll of approximately $18,000 a month. The proposition submitted to Topeka is that the town donate a site of five acres and subscribe $25,000. The proposition submitted by Fort Scott, according to Mr. McSweeney, is a trifle better than this. Russia Fights Indemnity. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 10—It is thought that it may be possible to change the fundamental basis on which the representatives of the two belligerent powers may be able to come to an understanding. It is only after an accord on these fundamental basis that an armistice will be considered advantageous by both-parties. On one point Russian delegates are instructed not to yield, that regarding a war indemnity, which, it was stated, is against the Russian feeling, against Russian pride and against the whole history of the country. Crashed Into a Way Car. Emporia, Kan., Aug. 10—A switch engine crashed into a way car attached to east bound A.. T. & S. F. stock train, standing on the tracks here. The way car, which contained a number of stock men was demolished and ten persons injured, one probably fatally. The stock train was too heavily laden and a stop had been made to take out six cars.

The injured were taken to the railway hospital at Topeka. A Destructive Storm.

This bridge was the largest wagon bridge in the state, being over 620 feet in length. Receivers Take Another Month. Receivers Take Another Month. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 10. — As the creditors of the C. J. Devlin estate were not ready to file their reports and elect trustees a month longer was given them. The hearing was to have come up before N. H.

M. Crawford was introduced and presented one of his famous orations. Then Miss Travis Swan, in a pleasing manner presented a fine recitation.

McBride met with a painful accident Thursday morning at the barn of the iWchita Steam Laundry. One of the horses there plunged at him and struck him on the foot, causing a very painful bruise. Dr. Stewart dressed the injury and hopes to have him out in a few days. Of all hypocrites the cantaloupe is the most consistent. It always looks better than it is. To weaken an enemy's navy a good plan would be to make it a present of a few submarine boats. Of course Marshall Wilder's new baby isn't old enough yet to appreciate fully how funny papa is. Right away after Dr. Osler announced that freckled girls made the best wives the sun got busy. James M. Beck says many Americans suffer from moneyphobia. Can furnish him with one immune. A Chicago doctor says that two vacations a year are needed to keep one in good health. Show this to the boss. Dr. Adler says he has discovered perpetual motion. Perhaps he has been down cellar observing the gas meter. It is well to have a gray cat for the mascot of the Peary expedition, because the cat has such a trick of coming back. Inspired, doubtless, by the example of the maple scale and the seventeen-year locust, the army worm has mobilized again. J. Pierpont Morgan has fallen from his high estate. He now talks for hours with such unimportant people as King Leopold. A New York doctor claims to have solved the problem of perpetual motion, but Edison is still working on his horse-must-go battery. Now that it has had its picture taken again the sun spot may retire and quit trying to attract attention by making trouble on earth. Field Marshal Lord Roberts is of opinion that harping on Waterloo and Trafalgar is a poor substitute for considering the existing situation. Prof. H. W. Wiley, the government expert, has gone abroad to study Irish and Scotch whiskies. It's a great privilege to be a government expert. "Girls with plump arms appear particularly attractive with short sleeves," says a fashion note. The same sort of girls don't look bad with short skirts. Edward Everett Hale says everybody should sleep ten hours out of each twenty-four. Mr. Hale is an old man now and has no baby in the house. A Wisconsin boy saved four heiresses from death by drowning the other day. The laws of Wisconsin make it impossible for him to marry them all.

The average consumer of baking powder does not know that a reaction occurs in the process of baking. When a chemical reaction takes place, nature of the original materials is directly changed, so that the substances which remain in the food to eaten are very different from those which composed the baking powder before baking. For this reason, the argument that a baking powder contains alum or cream of tartar is worth so far as informing the consumer so what he eats. What the coner wants to know is what goes his stomach, not what is in the Food prepared with a cream of baking powder does not contain cream of tartar, just as food prepared with alum baking powder is from alum. In the case of the裴priced trust baking powders, this residue consists of Rochelle in the active ingredient of Seidlitz powders. That is, when food prefers with the trust baking powders is eaten, the consumer is taking of Seidlitz Powders. Rochelle is a medicine and not a food, which this constant dosing will seriously change the digestive organs'. Prof. chemist of the United States department of Agriculture, has deined in substance that "A loaf of bread made from a quart of flour covered with cream of tartar baking powder contains 45 grains more of Rochelle Salts than is contained in Seidlitz Powder. At a hearing before the Committee on Public Health of the Massachusetts Legislature, on a bill designed to prevent this wholesale dosing of the public, the following eminent Boston physicians tested against the healthfulness of Rochelle Salts, and, strongly recommended the passage of a law which would prohibit the sale of powders with left this dangerous drug in Dr. Hartung, Dr. C. O. Kepler, Dr. F. Foster, Dr. G. M. Palmer. Why should the consumer pay forty- or fifty cents per pound for bak- powder when the best baking pow- in the world can be made to reat twenty-five cents per pound price asked for Calumet Baking deter) and leave a fair manufactur- ers profit? The manufacturers of Calumet Baking Powder have for ars made a standing offer of $000.00 for any substance injurious health found in food prepared from Bread made from Calumet is enly free from Rochelle Salts, alum, or ammonia.

This consists of a brooch set brilliant and fine turquoises, and a piece of native Persian work, installations were also brought over the Prince and Princess of Wales, intended for the princess having to be conferred. Sound as a Dollar. cutello, Minn., Aug. 7th.—Mr. J. Moore of this place stands as a livelihood of the fact that Bright's Discoverer in the last stages, may be briefly and permanently cured by the Kidney Pills. Moore says: "In 1898 three medicalicians after a careful situation told me that I would die Bright's Disease inside of a year. feet and ankles and legs were swollen; I could hardly stand my feet and had given up all hopes I were cured when a traveling man told me that he himself had cured of Bright's Disease two before. He said he had taken to his bed expected to die with it, but that he had been cured by a remedy called the Kidney Pills. I announced taking them at once I am thankful to say that they may life. After a short treat- ture I was completely restored to health and I am now as sound as me." Cordelia, a matinee idol isn't unlikely an idle man who spends me at matieres. TALKS CRAZY. C. I.

"Not many years ago the banker stood behind the counter and dictated the rate of interest he should receive for his money. Now the farmer, standing on the other side of the counter, tells the banker what the rate of interest shall be. And the banker must accept it or the farmer will go to some other farmer and get the money." In Boston Next.

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 trian 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 each 10c package contains 16 ozs, while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. The stingiest person is generous to his own shortcomings. A Gricker Killed.

Hints to Houseworkers. Nothing is more important to the hard-working housekeeper than to keep her liver properly working; otherwise, that pale, sallow look and tired feeling will make her look and feel as sick as a dog.

Sold by all druggists at 50c and $1.00. Money back if it fails. "Who has not felt those secret and sad impressions which capture the mind suddenly in the midst of happiness?"—Sophie Gay. 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 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. D. O.

A WOMAN'S ORDEAL DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mrs.Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and Receive Valuable Advice Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, even when those questions are asked by her family physician, and many Mrs T.C.Willadsen continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physicians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the reason why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female lilis. Mrs. Pinkham can advise women more wisely than the local physician. Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham;—can you say that you have saved my life, and I can express my gratitude in words. Before I wrote to you telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I had female trouble and would daily have fainted, and it kept down pain. My monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your advice and received a letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commenced to take Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I have been restored to perfect health. And if you would you I would have been in my crave today." Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E.

Commercial Enterprises are Making Heavy Drains on This Famous Show-Place—Its Tremendous Electrical Power the Induction. --- Niagara Falls, August 7:The volume of water being diverted from the historic Niagara Falls is reaching such proportions that the people of the State are trying to pass laws which will prevent the possibility of a practical wiping out of this sublime natural spectacle. Water sufficient to develop nearly five hundred thousand horse-power continuously, twenty-four hours per day, for industrial purposes, is now being taken from the river above the Falls, and further developments requiring more water are contemplated. Probably the largest user of the electricity produced by the waters of the mighty river is the concern which by the five or six thousand degree heat of the electric furnace brings lime and coke into unwilling union, thereby producing what is known as Calcium Carbide. Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as so much broken rock, but in contact with water it springs into activity and begets abundantly the gas Acetylene. The light resulting from the ignition of acetylene is the nearest approach to sunlight known. These facts, though of comparatively recent discovery, were soon seized by men with an eye to the commercial possibilities and to-day calcium carbide is being shipped everywhere and used for dispelling darkness in buildings of all descriptions, from the ordinary barn of the farmer to the country villa of the wealthy, as well as for lighting the streets of a large number of towns. Acetylene can be easily and cheaply installed, and the manufacture and sale of acetylene generators has become a business of recognized standing, has assumed large proportions and is steadily growing.

The wig is older than civilization, for the savage used one to make him more formidable on the field of battle, just as the judge does today to increase the terrors of the law. It was the French revolution that killed the wig. What the article cost the Egyptian mummy and the Assyrian notable is not known, but before the guillotine fell in France the wig which adorned the heads of its victims cost $150 to $200. The costly decoration lingered a long time on official heads in England; so recently as 1858 Archbishop Sumner found it necessary to wear one at the marriage of the Princess Royal. Nowadays clergymen of all ranks are free from the incumbrance, which is the dignified burden of the speaker of the house of commons and the gentlemen of the law.

Forwarding a photo of a splendidly handsome and healthy young boy, a happy mother writes from an Ohio town: "The enclosed picture shows my 4-year-old Grape-Nuts boy. "Since he was 2 years old he has eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He demands and gets this food three times a day. This may seem rather unusual, but he does not care for anything else after he has eaten his Grape-Nuts, which he uses with milk or cream, and then he is through with his meal. Even on Thanksgiving day he refused turkey and all the good things that make up that great dinner, and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts and cream with the best results and none of the evils that the other foolish members of the family experienced. "He is never sick, has a beautiful complexion, and is considered a very handsome boy. May the Postum Company prosper and long continue to fernish their wholesome food!"

MONEY FOR EXPENSES MONEY FOR EXPENSES Plague at New Orleans In Charge of U. S. Officials. CASH IS CONTRIBUTED FREELY. Unsolicited Checks Are Coming in From Other Parts of the Country and Sufficient Funds Will Be Gathered Faster Than Required. New Orleans, Aug. 9.—Two large foci of infection were discovered outside of the city by officers of the marine hospital service. Dr. Corput went to Diamond Plantation, In St. Charles parish, to look into some suspicious cases and found six positive yellow fever cases, three of which were dead. They were on a sugar plantation, and three of them were Italians. One was a negro. The other point of infection is the town of Patterson in St. Mary's parish, where Dr. Guitera has found 19 cases. Most of these are also Italians. The local health boards have taken charge in both instances and are following out the directions of the marine hospital service. With the marine hospital service under the authority of President Roosevelt in complete control the scientific fight to eradicate yellow fever from New Orleans before frost took on fresh life and with ample funds, the best available talent and an army of willing workers at his back, Dr. J. S. White, surgeon in charge, hopes for a successful termination of the struggle. During the day Dr. White received formal orders from Surgeon General Wyman notifying him that the federal government had decided to assume the task, and immediately visited the state and city boards of health, where he communicated the news to Presidents Souchon and Khonke, and arranged for the transfer of the work. Both pledged all the assistance of themselves and the forces under them to Dr. White in his undertaking. Dr. White said that the transfer of details would be gradual so that there might not be any interruption in the work now in progress. As the whole state is interested in the present campaign, it is assumed that in 24 to 48 hours the governor will have all the backing he desires, and that the Louisiana contribution of at least $50,000 will be made. Unsolicited checks have been sent here from other parts of the country to the fund, which will be fully subscribed, it is believed, before it is wanted. An evidence of the panicky feeling in the country parishes is shown in the experience of the Cumberland Telephone company. At Arcadia, LA., the man in charge of the office fled when the fever began to spread. Local headquarters tried at once to fill the position, but Arcadia refused to permit a man to come to work.

Washington, Aug. 7.—There is reason to believe that President Roosevelt will again reward his personal friend, General Leonard Wood, with a desirable assignment. He will be given command of the department of the lakes or made a member of the general war staff and president of the War college. In order to do so it was necessary for the president to hold up the assignments of General Barry as a member of the general staff and president of the War college and of General Carter to the command of the department of the lakes. The president has learned that General Wood does not desire to return to the Philippines on account of his health. Kansas Ore High.

INDIAN SCHOOLS SUFFER. Secretary Ryan Lays The Cause Upon Congress. Washington, Aug. 7.—Acting Secretary of the Interior Ryan has decided that appropriations for the maintenance of Indian tribal school in Indian Territory must cease March 4 next. The decision is announced in a letter from the commissioner of Indian affairs in response to a letter from that officer asking to be advised as to the length of time for which contracts should be made with Choctaw boarding school superintendents. In his letter, the secretary refers to the department's efforts to secure legislation looking to the continuance of schools and to the failure of congress to favorably consider the recommendation, saying: "Unless congress sees fit to pass a bill appropriating money for the continuance of tribal schools, after the dissolution of the tribal government said tribal schools will of necessity close on March 4, 1906, and, therefore, no contracts with the Choctaw boarding school superintendents should be made to extend beyond that period."

Made Whiskey Valuable. Bellevue, Neb., Aug. 9. — The old steamboat City of New Orleans, which was sunk in the Missouri river above this town in 1852, was discovered in the mud and sand on the Nebraska side of the river, two miles from here. When the City of New Orleans foundered it carried a cargo of $75,000 worth of whisky in barrels. The barrels can be seen in the hold of the wreck and arrangements are being made to raise them.

LOUIS MANUFACTURERS OF "STAR BRAND SHOES" CUSTER MASSACRE. Startling Feature at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. There have been spectacles and spectacles, but it is reserved for the management of the Lewis and Clark Exposition to create perhaps the most startling and interesting of all—a reproduction of the wiping out of Custer's band of United States regulars at the fight on the Little Big Horn river, in the summer of 1876. This event, which has gone down into history as one of the great tragedies of warfare, will be given a setting as realistic as it is possible to make by employing real Indians and real soldiers to perform the sham battle tactics necessary. A band of 200 or more Umatilla Indians, from the government reservation in Oregon, will take the place of the blood-thirsty Sioux who killed General Custer and his troopers. For Custer and his men the soldiers on the grounds will answer. The fight will take place on exposed ground in the exposition area, where it may be witnessed by all those in attendance. The Indians will press closer and closer, until the last man falls and the tragedy is complete. Though no scalping will be done, as in the real massacre, the yells of the Indians and the cracking of their rifles will serve to make the scene thoroughly realistic.
