WICHITA, KANSAS AUG 26 1905 Negro Wins Again Deal Jackson, colored, who has won fame as the first bale of cotton farmer of Georgia, drove into Albany, Ga., on July 20, with the first bale of the new crop. The bale weighed 358 pounds, and brought 23 cents per pound, being passed as good middling. It was sold at auction and the bale shipped to Savannah, where it was again placed on the block at the cotton exchange. It classed full middling, and was bought by a local agent for a Liverpool firm for 30 cents per pd. which is a new record price for the first bale in Savannah. Deal Jackson holds the record for the earliest bale of cotton in the markets of Georgia each year for the past several years. He has made a study of conditions which will moke his crop mature early usually reaches the market first. He is a prosperous colored farmer, and a man of influence among the members of the race. He beat his last year's record by two days GRAND INSTALLATION RALLY New Hope Baptist Chuch Will Install Their New Pastor In Grand Style SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th The New Hope Baptist church is making great preparations for the installation of their new pastor, Rev.

Our brethren who attended the World's Baptist Congress in London were the recipients of many distinguished honors during that meeting which will be appreciated at home, not only by our great denomination, but by the members of the race as well, because they represented both credibly while abroad. There was a general desire to hear them wherever they went and nearly every one of them were invited to preach on the Sunday of the Congress and they were heard by great crowds of people and made a fine impression as preachers of the gospel. They were mentioned in word praise and commendation every where they went, and the addresses before the Congress were pointed and eloquent and won the people. They were the special guest at numerous dinners and teas, and several of these were given in their special honor by distinguished representatives in the Congress from Russia, Germany and England especially. There was a remarkable exhibition of truism that God is no respector of persons, and that the fatherhood of God and the broth erhood fo man is a cardinal principal of Christianity. This Congress will mean better things in the future, and those who are in harmony with the fraternal spirit shown there will be more greatly benefited. - American Baptist. At a meeting of the Industrial Union of America, West Indies and Canada held in Boston recently, the council voted to put the industrial school at Southern Pines, S.C; under the directio of churches of seven denominations, and to assist the principal, Rev. James M. Henderson in raising an endowment of $500,000. The object of the school is to educate orphan and indigent colored children of the south, and give them a thorough training in domestic and mechanical studies. An advisory board has been selected, composed of representatives from the Methodist Episcopal, Catholic, Unitarian Congregational, Christian and African Methodist Episcopal Church. LATE, YET VALUABLE How to Be Cool in Hot Weather Experience has shown that there is but one way in which the discomfort of very hot weather may be mitigated, and that is buy enough physical activity to start and maintain a wholesome prespiration. Absolutely the most uncomfortable way in which to pass a hot day is to be sluggish, and by that means pile up so to speak, latent heat in muscles and tissues. The vaso-metor nerves and the secretory nerves of the sudoriferous glands are the treermostats of the baby. Anything which start on abountant prespiration catries off latent heat and minimizes the discomfort suffered.—New York Times Mrs. Wilson Dead Special to the Searchlight Newton, Kan., August 19, 1905. Mrs. Sailie Wilson, who has been sick for a number of weeks, departed this life Saturday, August 19, at 12:45 o'clock. Her death came very unexpected to her many friends who knew her. She was a member of the A. M. E. church, of Newton, Kan., and was an earnest Christian lady. She was willing to work at anything that her hands found to do for the upbuilding of the church. She will be missed by the church and the many friends. She died in the full faith in the Lord. She leaves some small children in the care of the Lord. Her funeral took place at 2 o'clock, Sunday afternoon and was attended by a host of friends. Rev. S. S. Washington said the last words, Subject, Matthew 25:23—"Thou hast been faithful over a few things; come up higher, and I will make the ruler over many things." Her remains were laid to rest in the Newton cemetery. 1. Jeremiah's Unwelcome Message. —Jeremiah 37. The evil reign of Jehoiakim was the signal for the bursting of the storm of woe that had been impending over the disobedient nation. We must keep clearly in mind the succession of events in this troublesome time. 1. The First Captivity, in which Daniel and his friends were carried to Babylon, took place in Jehoiakim's fourth year, B. C. 605. 2. The Reign of Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim (B. C. 597), lasted only three months. He was scarcely on the throne when the Chaldean forces, which had been ravaging Judea, were joined by Nebuchadnezzar himself, and closed around Jerusalem, and Jehoiachin surrendered at discretion. Jehoiachin was kept a prisoner in Babylon for 37 years and was then released (2 Kings 25:27-30). Ezekiel was carried away with him (Ezek. 1:1, 2), and the great-grandfather of Mordecai, Queen Esher's cousin (Esh. 2:5, 6). This was the Second Captivity. defeat must have made the soldier dispirited. But what of it, since the were true? "That remain in this city. The phrase implies that the harde ships of the siege had greatly reduce the garrison. "Then took they Jeremiah. 'Cowardly,' I call them, because the were too superstitious to kill Jere甲iah, as Jehoiakim killed Urijah they would rather that famine should do their work for them. So, like Je seph, he was cast into a cistern." Cheyne. "The dungeon (or pit) of Malchiah." "Probably meaning that he was in charge of it."—Cambridge Bible. "They let down Jeremiah with cords." An indication of the dept of the noisome place. "So Jeremiah sunk in the mire." The long siege was exhausting the water supply Jeremiah was in danger of suffocation from the foul gases, and likely to die of starvation. IV. Jeremiah's Faithful Friend-Vs. 7-10. God has a deliverance a ways ready for his faithful children. 7. "Ehudaiakim." It is necessary 3. Zedekiah ("the justice of Jehovah") was made king by Nebuchadnezzar. He was the third son of Josiah, Jehoelachia's uncle, Jehojakim's brother, and his name, Mattaniah, was changed to Zedekiah by Nebuchadnezzar. During the first nine years of his reign the nation, instead of embracing the opportunity of repentance, plunged more deeply in folly. 4. The Siege of Jerusalem. The infatuated people looked to Egypt to deliver them from bondage to the Chaldeans. Learning of their plots, in B. C. 589 Nebuchadnezzar sent an army to chastise them, which laid siege to Jerusalem. 5. Jeremiah's Land Purchase. We read in Jer. 32:6-15 that the prophet during the siege bought a piece of land on which the Chaldean army were encamped, showing his perfect faith in the word of God which he preached and in the promise of a return from captivity. 6. Insincere Repentance. "In the terror inspired by the approach of the Chaldeans, the panic-striken populace of the capital bethought them of that law of their God, which they had so long set at nought; and the king and his princes and the entire people bound themselves by a solemn covenant in the temple to release all slaves of Israelitish birth, who had served six years and upwards, according to the law. The enfranchisement was accomplished with all the sanctions of law and of religion; but no sooner had the Chaldeans retired from before Jerusalem in order to meet the advancing army of Egypt, than the solemn covenant was cynically and shamelessly violated, and the unhappy freedmen were recalled to their bondage. After this, further warning was evidently out of place."—Ball. 8. The Arrest and Imprisonment of Jeremiah—It was during this temporary withdrawal of the Chaldeans that Jeremiah started from Jerusalem to go to his native town, Anathoth, in Benjamin, two and a half miles northeast of Jerusalem. He was going "to receive his portion there" (Jer. 37:12, R. V.). This action was promptly seized upon by Jeremiah's enemies of the national party, now exulting in the apparent failure of his prophecies. He was promptly arrested, under the pretext that he was deserting to the enemy, and was thrown into prison. II. Jeremiah's Enemies Conspire Against Him.—Vs. 1-4. "During those long, dark months of siege probably the only soul in all that crowded city which was in perfect peace and free in its unrestrained liberty was Jeremiah's."—Meyer. Chained though he was, he had many opportunities of proclaiming his message. 1. "Shephatiah." Not mentioned elsewhere. "Gedaliah." Possibly a son of the Pashur who put Jeremiah in the stocks (Jer. 20:1, 2). "Jucal." The Jehual whom Zedekiah had sent (Jer. 37:3) to beg Jeremiah's prayers for the people. "Pashur the son of Malchiah." Zedekiah had sent him to Jeremiah at the beginning of the siege to learn the outcome (Jer. 21:1). These four princes were evidently officers close to the king. "Heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken." 2. "He that remaineth," etc. Pashur may have been the spokesman. "He that goeth forth to the Chaldeans" not as a traitor but in honorable submission, "shall have his life for a prey." 4. "Let this man be put to death." This cruel request was a tribute to the prophet; they had discovered that death alone would silence him. "For thus." R. V., "forasmuch as," because. "He weakeneth the hands of the men of war." That was true; NO 17 defeat must have made the soldiers dispirited. But what of it, since they were true? "That remain in this city." The phrase implies that the hardships of the siege had greatly reduced the garrison. 6. "Then took they Jeremiah." "Cowardly,' I call them, because they were too superstitious to kill Jeremiah, as Jeholakim killed Urijah; they would rather that famine should do their work for them. So, like Joseph, he was cast into a cistern."—Cheyne. "The dungeon (or pit) of Malchiah." "Probably meaning that he was in charge of it."—Cambridge Bible. "They let down Jeremiah with cords." An indication of the depth of the noisome place. "So Jeremiah sunk in the mire." The long siege was exhausting the water supply. Jeremiah was in danger of suffocation from the foul gases, and likely to die of starvation. IV. Jeremiah's Faithful Friend.—Vs. 7-10. God has a deliverance always ready for his faithful children. 7. "Ebeb-melech." "It is possible that the name, Ebed-melech, which means 'servant of (the) king,' may have been an official title."—Hastings. "The Ethiopian." Ethiopia lay between Egypt and Abyssinia. "One of the eunuchs which was in the king's house." "He was probably the custodian of the king's harem."—Meyer. "The king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin." The gate in the northern wall, looking toward Benjamin and Ephraim, hence also called "the gate of Ephraim." 9. "These men have done evil." Being a foreigner, he was free from Jewish prejudices, and able to see what great injustice had been done. "He is like to die for hunger in the place where he is." Literally, "He is dead of hunger on the spot." "For there is no more bread in the city." 10. "Then the king," "always swayed by the last strong influence brought to bear on him, "commanded Ebed-melech . . . Take from hence thirty men." V. Jeremiah's Release.—Vs. 11-13. 11. "So Ebed-melech . . . went into the house of the king under the treasury." To a room under the king's storechamber. "Took thence old cast (cast away, discarded) clouts" (rags). These the thoughtful negro let down into the pit to Jeremiah, bidding him wrap the rope with them, that it might not chafe his armpits and sides. 13. "So they drew up Jeremiah . . . and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison" (R. V., "of the guard"). The prophet was restored to his former comfortable quarters, and to his share in the food dealt out to the soldiers. The favor of the God whom Jeremiah served so faithfully did not cease even with this great deliverance. Zedekiah, in sore straits because of the siege, again held converse with the prophet, but Jeremiah adhered to his advice, urging submission to the Chaldeans as the only price of safety, and promising, in that case, the preservation of both Zedekiah and Jerusalem. But the weak king's answer was the characteristic one, "I am afraid" (Jer. 38:14-28). So the city remained obstinate, the siege was pressed amid amidless horrors, and Jerusalem was finally taken. Jeremiah, with other inhabitants of the doomed city, was carried north to Ramah, but the Chalieans learned how he had counseled submission to them, and allowed him his choice, to go to Babylon or return home (Jer. 33:1-18). He chose the latter, but his stay in his home land was brief. Within two months the misguided Jewish patriots had assassinated the governor whom Nebuchadnezzar had left in charge of the country. This governor was a capable man, Gedaliah, son of Jeremiah's friend and preserver, Ahlak, and grandson of Shaphan, King Josiah's secretary. Those that did the deed fled to Egypt to escape Nebuchadnezzar's certain vengeance, and compelled Jeremiah and Baruch to go with them. There, at Tahpanhes, in northern Egypt, the prophet continued his faithful warnings till his death (Jer. 40-46). The manner of his death is not known. Perhaps "he breathed out his soul beneath the faithful tendance of Baruch, in some quiet chamber."—Meyer. Perhaps, "when Nebuchadnezzz conquered Babylon, he may, as some later Jewish writers say, have carried Jeremiah and Baruch with him to Babylon."—Cheyne. Perhaps, as a Christian tradition declares, he was stoned to death by his unbelieving people. At any rate, we may be sure that God kept him safe until his work was done in this world.

Main. street A little daughter of the manse whose father had recently been decorated a doctor of divinity, was playing with her school friend, Jerry, and she had little missed up for discussion. Said the child of the parsonship: "My pars a greater man than yours. He is a doctor now." "O, that is not my father," he then said. "My pars is a doctor of medicine." "A doctor of medicine!" contemptuously exclaimed the minister's daughter. "That is just a common, ordinary doctor. My pa is a doctor of vanity!" "Uncle Joe" Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, was entertaining Jerry and his friend, and was regaling the latter with the story of the collapse of a life insurance enterprise in which he had lost his wife. He had decorated marks, with burning phrases, torrid expressions and lurid words that caused a great uneasiness on the part of his straitified guest. He was filling his lungs prior to another explosion, when the Quar "Joseph, will thee take some advice from me?" "Why, certainly," answered "Uncle Joe." "Well then three had better lie thy language, or take out a posthumous fire insurance policy." Among the few honorary members of the Authors' club is Maarten Maartens. When, in the spring of 1853, the name of the club was changed, that is the real name of the distinguished Dutch novelist—was brought up for election, there were some gamps of amusement. The late "BILL" Nye immediately suggested that the first half of the year at once, but hold over the rest until the autumn, when the weather would be cool. During the time in Ireland when dueling was first prohibited by law, Judge Fletcher was trying at the Sligo assizes a man named Fenton, who had killed another in a duel. The judge, in his instructions to the jury, said: "Gentlemen, it is my business to kill the fighter, and I will. The law says the killing of a man in a duel is murder, and therefore in the discharge of my duty, I am bound to tell you it is murder. You tell it at me, and I never heard of in the course of my life." Fenton was acquitted. + + - When a noted woman writer visited Washington not long ago, a luncheon was given in her honor, and there came to the entertainment a woman who always refers to herself as literate. She is a woman who has written among any of her productions in any known magazine. And opposite that literary lady sat a woman who hates her with the bitter and undying hatred which can exist only by living in a furnished apartment, with a dumb waiter in common. The literary lady monopolized the conversation. "You and I have similar tastes," said storyteller honor. "I write stories, now and then." The woman opposite drew her dirk and spoke up then. 'I never hear anybody say 'now and then',' she said, 'without recalling a story of the Bombing of a certain of a sailing vessel. He was a hard master and found it difficult to get a crew. The question was one of grog. At length he promised the men he wanted to sail with him that they should have their grog now and then. He said the schooner sailed out the harbor, he called all hands on deck and ladled out grog. "This is now," said he. "I am giving you your grog now. Now, this is how Bob will be then. You'll have your grog now and then." You couldn't have melted the ice cream at that luncheon after that, if you'd set it on the kitchen range. One of the most interesting women among the leaders of the Daughters of the American Revolution is Mrs. William Wentworth, a bridge chapter, Mrs. Wentworth's maiden name was Locke, and the name enjoined an honor that belongs to no other in America. Mrs. Wentworth was a locke who was a temperance worker more than half a century ago. "Living near the Boston navy yard, he chose to work among the sailors, and very much loved the men who followed his temperance teachings was a sailor named Johnny McLane. McLane was a grateful man, and the men who followed out bringning Mr. Locke a souvenir. It might be a bit of mosaic from Pompei, a piece of Venetian glass, or an odd trinket picked up in some far-away port. Out of curiosity I came out bringing you anything this time, Mr. Locke," he said. "but I left something for you in Egypt. I climbed up and there I curved your name. And, beneath it I put. The Cold Water Man. And unless something has happened to the inscription within the last five years of my gratitude for the man who taught him the better way to live. A New England ship captain, whose custom it was to demand references of every sailor he engaged, once hired an officer to take care of him, without going through the usual formality. The next day the Englischman was given a chance to down the decks. The sea was rough, and soon a big wave came sweeping off Englischman, bucket and broom, which little mishap on deck moment until the captain came on deck, when the following conversation took place: "Captain, you remember the Englischman you hired? Yes, P. What about him?" "Well, begorra, he has gone off with your bucket and broom." Walter Hoff Seely, the insurance man, says that he was taking lunch about a year ago in the Pennsylvania station at Jersey City, the county, when the Congressional Limited came in, and among other passengers was Secretary Hay. Rushing in to the lunch counter, he seated himself and ordered a drink, when the on the other side of the secretary was a typical American who had not the slightest idea that his neighbor on the left was the American premier. He was the sudden amusement when he was suddenly jabbed in the ribs by the elbow of this man, who at the same time addressed the secretary after this fashion, "Say, the secretary will ye?" The interesting part of it was that John Hay passed the sugar. When the United States monitor Purluran was about to get away for the recent naval maneuvers, a swarthy young fel- low came up to Navigator Bloo, and in the best of English asked for a job aboard the boat. The navigator told him there was nothing for him to do, but the man would like to go along for the fun of it. So he was taken on, and all through the maneuvers was one of the most industrious men in the city. When the Puritan returned he shook hands and in a moment was gone. He was lost sight of and Bloo thought nothing more of the affable Japanese minister, Takahira, taking his usual afternoon auto spin. Beside him was a young man—the lad who scrubbed the decks of the ship, who took Japan acquires her knowledge of what other nations do and how they do it. Those who visited New York while its subway was in process of construction, will appreciate the story of a friend who was a commissioner of the city for the first time in his life, lost a watch which he valued highly. Not being familiar with the commissioner of his loss, and asked him to do his best to find the missing article. The commissioner answered that he was the commissioner of the watch, and that he would not leave a stone unturned in the search. A short while after this the man approached him, the watch, and that he would not leave a stone unturned in the search. A short while after this the man approached him, the watch, and that he would not leave a stone unturned in the search. At a glance, he took in the piles of stone, dirt and other materials he had brought to the nearest telegraph office, he sent the following message to the commissioner: "Do not bother any longer. Watch not worth it." The American in the corner of the nonsmoking first-class carriage insisted on lighting his cigar. The indignant British man, who had been tested in vain. At the next station he hailed the guard, with hostile intent; but the placid American was too quick for the indignant man. He did find that this gentleman is traveling with a third-class ticket on him." Investigation proved him to be right, and the indignant man was beaten. Of the little scene asked the triumphant American how he knew about that ticket. "Well," explained the imperious man, "it was staggering on his pocket, and I saw it was the same color as mine." 1 An officious little country station master recently discovered a gentleman enjoying a cigar in a compartment not reserved for smokers. He wore a top-hat, and the little station master approached him in all humility. "You should not smoke, sir," he began. "Indeed!" he said, the traveler, "who knew of friends like me." "You misunderstand me, sir," returned the station master. "You must' not "So my doctor tells me," responded the other. The station master was rapidly losing his temper, and, assuming the most safe attitude he could command, he roared: "But it's not like 'regulations, and not like 'skirr'." "Dear me! you oustil the unmoved offender, in grave tones. 'That's my wife ÷ ÷ + Some of the members of the New York stock exchange at the daily meetings prefer to sit on the window sills or perch on the table that stands in front of the chairs provided for their use by the governing committee; after, of course, they have paid the price. These days the latter has reached such prerequisite that it commands respectful consideration, at least among those who have that regard for money which is now currently reported to be the chief thing in the worldly ambition of the American people. One was commenting the other day on the fact of one particular member never occupying his seat, and expressed some wonder that he did not once in a while find his way there. "The so-called so expensive," driver remarked one of the visitors to the sessions of the board, "that perhaps he does not like to use it." TREE PLANTING ON THE PRAIRIES. Farmers Should Choose Trees for Their Timber as Well as Growth. Their Timber as Well as Growth. In the states of the Middle West there is pressing need of more trees, both hardwood and softwood, such as ster-belts. This need has been felt since the prairies were first settled, but the attempts made to supply it have, as it turns out, been unsuccessful. The might have been secured. The early planting was done chiefly for the sake of ornament for shade; the usefulness of the species for wood was seen more consistently. In many cases, trees were planted outside of the range to which they were adapted, and on soil and in locations unfavorable to them. On the other hand, many valuable species were neg- Experience has now furnished the basis for better practice. Various kinds of wood will serve just as well for protection and ornament as those which have been most used, and which at the same time will furnish valuable information of forestry has been investigating this subject, with results which are recognized throughout the prairie region as great sources of field studies of the existing forest growth, both natural and planted, of its relation to soil and climatic conditions, and of the effect of various treatments. In carrying out the work bureau field parties examine and make measurements of representative growth and volume, and yield tables are made which show the recurrences in cordwood, posts, stakes and number to be expected in a given time period. In addition to the measurements, the characteristics of growth and reproduction of the trees are noted, and valuable data on the natural distribution and advisable planting range The work in the eastern part of the two Dakotas, Western Minnesota, Illinois, Eastern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming has done. A bulletin based on the study in Western Kansas has been published, giving information concerning the species most suitable to the locality, and the study in Western Minnesota has done. Bulletins of the same character covering other states are in preparation. This summer Iowa will be studied, and later other states of the West will be studied. Considerable tree planting has been done in some of these states, occasionally with complete success; but there have been many total failures, and some of the West has been as badly as Asa. As a rule, the lack of success was due to lack of knowledge how and what to plant. But these plantations, whether successful or not, provide valuable lessons in respect to future planting.

"As a rule I place little faith in dreams," said "Bob" Stone of Weber's Music Hall, "but one I had the other night impressed me so strongly that I looked upon it as a special 'hunch' and followed it up. "I thought I was at a country fair, or some other outdoor gathering There was a race course in the distance, and all about me were people decked out in holiday attire. What most impressed me was a couple coming along the path I was walking They were negroes and the woman was gorgeously dressed. She did not seem to be the ordinary type of negress, but appeared to be more like a queen of some African tribe. The man I hardly noticed, but kept looking at the woman as she approached with her escort. So intent was my gaze that, without intending to, I separated the couple, they passing on either side of me. "The face and appearance of the woman so impressed me that I felt sure there was some significance to it. At breakfast I looked over the Sheepshead entries, and almost shouted as I saw Maid of Timbutoo on the list. There was my dream for sure. I sent a few dollars down to the track and got comfortable odds against the mare. I even let a few friends into the 'good thing.' "Well, my dream was all right, but I hadn't interpreted it correctly. Go Between won in a romp."—New York Press. STILL HAD $5 COMING. Creditor Rejoiced Too Soon Over Liquidation of Debt. The late Rev. Benjamin Eastwood o' Pawtucket, R. I., for many years rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd in that city, related the following incident, which occurred in his parish: Tom Fararady, tinsmith, had loaned Tim Marks, his neighbor, $5, and Tim had fallen into dissolute habits which so curtailed his income and impaired his credit that Tom's prospect of recovering his money seemed dubious. One morning, however, Tom dunned his debtor with unusual severity and later in the day Tom came to him and paid the debt. Tom, elated, rushed to his telephone, a crude affair of his own construction, connecting his shop and house, and signaled his wife. "lane are ye there?" he called. "Jane, are ye there. he called. "Ay, John, but yell wake the babe wi' yer thumpin'; what is't ye want, John?" "Ye know Tim Marxs, Jane, that's owed me $5 a long time; e's paid me!" "Eh, neighbor Tim; did ye say; did he owe ye, John?" "Ay, $5, and a long time, but e's paid up now." "Well, I'm glad ye've got yer money, John, and it's good to know e's honest, too, for e's borrowed $5 off me this morning." Stricken With Remorse Pansy, a valuable French poodle owned by D. W. Foster of Lebanon, Ind., has manifested novel maternal instincts by adopting a family of homeless kittens, and now may be seen suckling the little animals. Several weeks ago Pansy gave birth to three pups. A short time later three homeless kittens found their way into the Foster barn. The poodle which had always shown a marked antipathy for cats, immediately made an onslaught on the felines, but was deterred from doing them harm. The kittens were poorly fed, placed in a box and hidden from Pansy. During the following night, however, the poodle seems to have been stricken with remorse at her conduct, and the next morning was found in the box with the kittens, having left her own offspring to play mother to them.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Congressman in Washington. According to the Lieutenant-Governor of Illinois, "a Congressman in Washington is like a boy with a torn shirt and half a pair of suspenders looking through a small knothole at a baseball game." Yes, and then the policeman in the shape of his constituency will come along about the ninth inning, when the score is a tie, three men on bases, the heaviest hitter of the home team at the bat—at the most interesting part of the program—and tell the aforesaid little boy to "Move on!" So fling away ambition.—Boston Herald. To Adopt Metric System.

LOST 72 POUNDS. Was Fast Drifting Into the Fatal Stages of Kidney Sickness. Dr. Melvin M. Page, Page Optical Co., Erie, Pa., writes: "Taking too many iced drinks in New York in 1805 sent me home with a terrible attack of kidney trouble. I had acute congestion, sharp pain in the back, headaches and attacks of dizziness. My eyes gave out, and with the languor and sleeplessness of the disease upon me I wasted from 194 to 122 pounds.

DENOTED BY THE HAT. Used Quite as Much for Decoration as for Protection. Discoursing on the subject of hats, an antiquary expressed the opinion that the hat was first used quite as much for decoration as for protection. The ancestor of all hats he considers to have been the fillet or band around the hair worn by the ancient Greeks, amongst others. Probably the first hint gained by men regarding head ornaments was through observing the crests, plumes and antlers of various birds and beasts. The Eastern races, with their fondness for ceremony and display, afford the most notable instances of the use of hats as signs of rank and authority. Thus in Buddhist countries the gods are represented as wearing elaborate forms of headgear. In Korea the fashion attains its height, no fewer than fifty kinds of hats being worn by the natives as indications of their social position. The first symptom of degeneracy is ingratitude; the second, more ingratitude. 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 15 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in 3/4-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 to 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. The man whose words needs corroboration is sadly handicapped though wealthy he may be. Here is Relief for Women.

Another cure by Cuticura is told of by Mrs. Caroline Cable, of Waupaca, Wis., in the following grateful letter: "My husband suffered agony salt rheum on his hands, and I had to keep them bandaged all the time. We tried everything we could get, but nothing helped him until he used Cuticura. One set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills cured him entirely, and his hands have been as smooth as possible ever since. I do hope this letter will be the means of helping some other sufferer."

Cats in Church. Most of the churches in Naples have three or four cats attached to them. The cats are kept for the purpose of catching the mice which infest all the ancient Napolitan buildings. The animals may often be seen walking about among the congregation, or stretched before the altars. Royal Cook Decorated. King Edward's chef, M. Menager, was among those to receive birthday honor on the occasion of his majesty's recent birthday. He is believed to be among the most accomplished chefs in the world. He was decorated with the Victorian medal. Other recipients of that distinction are understood to feel that in conferring the medal on a cook King Edward has rather cheapened the honor. The Reason Why. Drummond, Wis., Aug. 21st (Special)—Whole families in Bayfield County are singing the praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills and the reason why is given in experiences such as that of Mr. T. T. Wold, a well-known citizen here. "I had such pains in my back that I did not know what to do," says Mr. Wold, "and as I came across an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I sent for a box. That one box relieved me of all my pains. My wife also used them and found them just what she needed. I recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills as a sure cure for Backache and other Kidney Troubles." Backache is one of the earliest symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure it promptly and permanently and prevent it developing into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright's Disease.

Drowned While Seining. — Ernest Dunnire, who lives at 1311 East Virginia street, Kansas City, Kan., was drowned in the Marals des Cygnes river two miles south of LaCygne while seining for minnows. Big Gas Transaction.—The biggest gas transaction in the history of Kansas since the sale of lots at Kanopolis occurred the other day, when the People's Gas Company sold out their Montgomery county interests for $1,000,000. Hemorrhage From Swimming.—Clarence Duckwall, 15 years old, son of R. R. Duckwall, of the Union Pacific water service, died at Manhattan as a result of overexertion while swimming. Six weeks ago he swam across Blue river five times, and the sixth time became exhausted, and in struggling to reach the shore caused a hemorrhage from which he did not recover. Topeka Man Killed.—Chas. Shorey, a brakeman on the Rock Island, was run over by a freight train between Lawrence and Kansas City. Shorey was sent back to flag the train and it is supposed that he lay down on the track and went to sleep. He was killed instantly. He was a son of Wm. Shorey who lives on Holman street, North Topeka. Lost Sword Regained. — Colonel D. M. Ray, of Yates Center, has just recovered his sword which he lost at Chickamauga in the war. He thought it had been picked up by the Confederates. It seems that a Union soldier found it, and later lost it on a battlefield near Mobile. Through a description of the sword given in a newspaper, Colonel Ray located it. It contained his name and regiment. Will Not Interfere. — Some of the probate judges of the state are complaining because the board of control does not accept every youth whom they try in the juvenile courts. They threaten to appeal to the governor. It will do them no good, however. "I take it that the board knows what its duties are," said Governor Hoch tonight, "and if it rejects an applicant for the reform school, it has some valid reason for it. Therefore I will not interfere." Knocking on Twine Plant.—Senator Porter, of Montgomery, says a scheme is on foot to knock out the binding twine plant at the state penitentiary. Just who is behind it he says he doesn't know, but intimates that, in his opinion, the twine trust might know. The only way it can be attacked, he says, is for the state auditor to decline to pay any bills for the plant. The supreme court knocked out the oil refinery because it was the main thing, not the incidental, to the branch penitentiary. It might decide that the binding twine plant is incidental to the Lansing prison, and is necessary to keep convicts employ- Options Extended. — Colonel J. F. Mundy, one of the promoters of the Gulf pipe line, informed the producers at Chanute that if the options are extended until September 15 he is sure the deal will go through. All the producers agreed to the extension of the options. It develops that the only difficulty is in the forming of a syndicate to handle the bonds of the line. The Union Trust Company of Pittsburgh agreed originally to underwrite the bonds but the Standard Oil Company intervened and the Union Trust Company backed down. The Mellons are now forming another syndicate in New York. Printing Law Good.—J. R. Burrow, secretary of state, says that there is little doubt that the new state printer law will result in a saving of at least $25,000 annually to the state. "Of course some of the state institutions are kicking because we have cut their printing allowances down," said Mr. Burrow today, "but I think they will find before the year is out that they will be given as much printing this year as they were last. The only difference will be that the state will get the same quantity for less money. For instance, we have found one class of printing for one institution on which the state will save $8,000 annually. The saving will be solely creditable to the change in the law and the institution will get practically the same amount of printing it had in previous years." Clark Makes Denial.—George Clark, ex-state printer, said today that there is no truth in the story that the profit of the state printing for the last term was divided between him and Henry J. Allen. Clark said that Allen and Leland were his friends and he would let them fight the present out. On Rural Route.—Those who claim that they have never known a man who amounted to anything after serving a term as city marshal, will be glad to learn that Dave Beard of Salina is carrying ma'i on a rural route.5 Takes Out Hunting License.—H. F. Spooner, of Axtell, 76 years old, took out the first hunting license in Marshall county under the new law, and the Anchor says he can outshoot, outjump and outrun any hunter in the county. Cloudburst Near Independence.—As a result of a cloudburst in the Drum creek valley southeast of Independence, the Verdigris river presents the remarkable spectacle of a river flowing up stream. The water is running into the channel so fast from the flooded valley that it has backed up the river. Deserter is Arrested.—Harry Conroy, a deserter from troop L. Thirteenth cavalry, stationed at Fort Riley, was picked up at Salina by the police. Conroy was on the tender of an engine on the Union Pacific, going west, when he was detected. When he was arrested he admitted that he had deserted and was trying to escape. He will be taken to the fort. Refinery For Atchison.—The Uncle Sam Oil Refinery Company of Cherry-vale, may establish a branch refinery in Atchison. The company has made a proposition to the city which is under consideration. It proposes to build a refinery here which will have a capacity of 10,000 barrels every twenty-four hours and to barge fuel oil on the Missouri river from the Atchison pipe line. Died in Coffeyville Jail.—Nelson Meldrum, 50 years old, a farmer who lived near Sedan, died in the city jail at Coffeyville. Meldrum had been here several days. He asked an officer for lodging in the jail. This was given him. In the morning he complained that he was ill, and a physician was called in. Meldrum died shortly after. It is believed that death was due to excessive use of morphine. New K. U. Professor. — Lawrence Hodson has been selected to fill the chair of mining engineering in the University of Kansas. Prof. Hodson graduated in civil engineering at Ames, Ia., ten years ago. He then went to the Michigan state school of mines at Houghton, and after two years of further study was graduated in mining engineering with high honors. Court House For Newton.—Harvey county is to have a new $50,000 court house. The county commissioners, under authority given them by act of the last legislature, have declared a levy of three mills on the taxable property of the county, which will raise $15,000. The rest of the money will be raised by similar levies the next two years. The construction of the court house will begin next fall on a site already owned by the county. Gasoline Stove Explodes.—Mrs. William Kirby, wife of a coal miner was probably mortally burned by the explosion of a gasoline store at her home at Leavenworth. She was pouring oil into the feeder of the stove when the explosion occurred, setting fire to her clothing. It is believed she can live only a short time, her injuries are so severe, from which she suffers intence agony. Mrs. Kirby is the mother of six children, all living, the oldest 8 years old. Melvin Found Guilty.-At Iola C.L. Melvin, the joint dynamiter, was found guilty on the charge of malicious destruction of property, and sentenced to six months in jail and to pay the costs of the case. His attorney gave notice of an appeal. Two other charges still remain against him. Melvin wrecked three saloons with dynamite, and other adjoining property was damaged. He fled and was arrested in Iowa. Emporia Bank Dividend.—Contrary to the expectations of the depositors of the defunct First National bank of Emporia, and of their legal advisers there will be another dividend of the assets of the bank. C. B. Graves, attorney for the depositors, in response to a communication, received a letter from the general receiver at Washington, D. C., stating that the bank will pay another dividend, the amount of which is not yet known, because, the receiver stated, there are still a number of collections and legal settlements to be made. Well Act4 Mysteriously. —The people of Beverly, a town northwest of Salina on the Missouri Pacific railroad, are greatly excited about a mysterious well from which a roaring noise can be heard from some distance. The well is on the farm of Charlie Gaugh, just on the outskirts of the village. The well was being dug for water. Friday night when the men quit the well was thirty feet deep and no water had been found. Saturday when they came to work they found the well half full of water and a rumbling noise was heard. It was thought that gas might be escaping, but none would burn when a match was applied. The entire town is interested and the well is eagerly watched for further developments. Wreck Victim Identified. — It is found that the name of the man who was killed near Lindsborg is John G. Cotter, of Boston. Mass. A card found upon his person indicates that he was a member of the street cement workers and excavators' union of Chicago. All efforts so far have failed to locate any of the relatives of the dead man. A Big Flock of Steep. — A party of Rooks county men start this week to trail 14,000 sheep from Colorado to Kansas. It will take about six weeks to get them through. Banner Whence Councy.—Barton coun- claims to be the banner wheat county again this year. It put in 259,623 acres and secured an average yield of sixteen bushels, making a total of 4,154,000. Bride's Trouseau Stolen.—Mrs. J. L. Wallace, a dining room girl at the Hotel Newton, is under arrest at Newton charged with stealing a bride's trousseau valued at $200 from her trunk at the hotel. They Sold Liquor.—Out of the 4,200 persons confined in the United States jail at Leavenworth, Kansas, 400 are from the Indian Territory and were sent there on the charge of introducing liquor into that country. Car Repairer Killed.—George Hanan, Missouri Pacific car repairer, was accidentally killed at the Atchison shops. He was working on a car when the accident occurred. Hahan was 45 years old, and leaves a widow and two children. All Night in Ice House.—Harry Dowdall, a 14-year-old boy of Junction City was held up and robbed of a few dollars by two tramps. He was then thrown in the Union Pacific ice house and the door locked. The boy was found in the ice house nearly frozen to death. A scare is being made for the tramps. K. of C at Florence. —August 20th was a gala day for Council No. 946, Knights of Columbus, special trains bringing visitors from Topela, Kansas City, Wichita, Newton and Hutchinson. About fifty candidates were initiated into the order. A banquet of 500 plates was spread at the opera house. Monsignor Tihen, of Wichita acted as toastmaster. To Raise Mange Quarantine. —Live Stock Commissioner Baker is negotiating with the government officials for the purpose of having the quarantine established against the state of Kansas last May for mange raised on the eastern half of the state at least. Baker says there is no mange in the eastern half of Kansas and the quarantine should be raised. Bidding on State Money.—Although the treasury board doesn't award state money or name state depositories until August 29, bids are beginning to come in. State Treasurer Kelly stated that four bids had already been received. Governor Hoch hopes that the banks of the state will come forward with bids so that the new depository law will be made a success. Reform School Investigation. — The board of control will investigate the charges lodged against Superintendent Charles, of the Topeka reform school. Dr. Eva Harding, the woman doctor, who filed the charges, has been summoned to appear with her proof. The board will also make a trip to the institution to investigate the records and take testimony of witnesses. Death From an Explosion. — Miss Winnie Gates, 20 years old, was burned to death as the result of an explosion of gasoline at Horton. Neighbors, hearing her screams, ran into the house and found her lying insensible with her clothing in flames. Miss Gates kept house for her father, who is a widower, and was alone at the time of the explosion. To Use Steam Shovels.—Two steam shovels will be in operation on the Santa Fe in a very short time. One is already at Arkansas City and another one is expected in a few days. One is owned by Langtry & Sharp of San Francisco, and the other by Contractor Elgoy of Chicago. It is likely that one of the big machines will be sent to Winfield, where the grade is being changed and put to work. There is about ten days' work there. Quarantined The Cattle.—W. C. Wilson, P. M. Stansberry and W. J. Houston, stockmen of Butler county, have asked the board of railroad commissioners to take up the matter of the government quarantining cattle from Kansas at the St. Louis stock yards. Three men shipped cattle to St. Louis last week and the cattle were held under quarantine at that place by the order of Dr. Clancy, federal quarantine officer. The stockmen say that the superintendent of the stock yards informed them that the quarantine against Kansas cattle had been ordered by the federal authorities June 1. 2 Attack Street Audience.—After exhausting her vocabulary of epithets and finding even a horsewhip ineffectual as a weapon of offense, Mrs. Myra McHenry of Wichita, first lieutenant in Carrie Nation's staff of "joint smashers," attacked a street audience with broken paving stones at Hutchinson. Three persons were struck and one, H. W. Cox of Plevna, was dangerously injured. Women supporters of Mrs. McHenry emptied market baskets of eggs at the crowd, but their aim was poor, nearly all of these missiles striking the orator.

Engine Derailed at Paola-A Mis- ARE FUR INDIAN STATE Double Siaters Now in Convention at Muskogee. CHURCH ELEMENT ENLISTED. Railroads Prefer Single State and Have One Legislature to Handle— People to Vote on Statehood in November—Result of Congress. Muskogee, I T., Aug. 24.—The statehood and constitutional convention is called by the five chiefs of civilized tribes. Seven votes for each recording district, twenty-six districts, 182 votes. Delegations vary in size from one to thirty-five; each delegate has an alternate who has been given by the convention same power as delegate. With this plan of organization close to 400 delegates and alternates are here. As announced by the chiefs, it was desired that half the convention be whites, half Indians, the whole a deliberative body. It is strictly an Indian Territory affair, composed of all the Indians and that element of whites favoring separate states of Indian Territory and Oklahoma. The plan is to declare favoring a state embracing present geographical boundary of Indian Territory; frame and adopt a constitution, submit this grand total to the whole people of Indian Territory at an election to be held early in November. If approved by the people present the whole proceeding to congress and ask admission as a state. This is practically the same plan followed by the territory of California resulting in the admission of that state. Enthusiasts believe 12,000 votes will be cast at the election and less than 10 per cent will be against the proposition as submitted Sure it is that the Indians are in deep earnest They claim a state is guaranteed the seven tribes by treaty provision to be given the tribes asking for same. They have never asked it, but propose to now. Tribal government ceases March 4 next; they want to merge into a state according to terms or original compact. They want prohibition; have had it always. Leading Indians and many prominent writers are firm in the belief that prohibition is imperative for the welfare of the people concerned. Church element is enlisted; will be more so in the entire country. Brewer trust objects, threatens to control congress and defeat entire scheme. Double staters reply that they have no concern for Oklahoma affairs including their saloons, but if brewers defeat Indian Territory statehood they may find the proposed one state of Oklahoma and Indian Territory will be prohibition. Suggest brewers had better be satisfied with Oklahoma trade and keep off the grass in Indian Territory or they may get in trouble. This is a sample of the contention. The committee to draft a constitution will be presented with a copy of that document from every state. These have been collected. Their work is to be a compilation from all to fit conditions in proposed new state. In voting on the acceptance of the work of the convention there will be a poll at every postoffice and there are 800 in the territory. In the cities many voting places will be provided. All election officials will serve free, under oath. Great care will be taken to protect the ballot so as to present a true story to congress. No one accuses the railroads of favoring two states. One legislature is cheaper to handle than two; roads are controlled by community of interests who look upon the United States senate as large enough and the fewer states west the better they are pleased. Some claim that the railroad lobby is represented in the convention and that it will improve the first chance to make trouble. All sorts of rumors are afloat. Some even claim the whole proceeding will commit the Indians to statehood, enabling the community of interests to smother them in single statehood. As a result it is even intimated that the whole affair is the underhand work of corporations. If this is true the Indion is fooled and the class of Indians in the convention don't show any bad scars over being fooled by anybody. They seem to have a fair understanding of what they want and are proceeding in a logical way to get it. Judge John I. Mullins in the district court appointed Guy Le Roy Stevick receiver of the Denver Savings bank and the bank is closed. Frenchmen Assaulted.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 24. — The effort of President Roosevelt's personal influence toward reconciling the differences between the Russian and Japanese governments is being watched with the closest attention here.

"The primitive whale was a primitive ironclad," asserts an expert on monsters prehistoric. "It is a fact that the earliest known ancestor of the modern whale bore heavy armor on its back, in the form of strong bone plates. "It was thought at one time that these plates were the property of gigantic turtles. Not so. It has been found that they once covered enormous whales. Probably at the time when they carried armor whales were amphibious creatures, living on the coasts, and needing special protection from breakers and from sharks." Komura at Harvard. When Baron Komura was a student at the Harvard law school in the class of 77, his classmate and warm friend Baron Kaneko, urged him to go society, many hospitable Besson doors being open to them. But Baron mura preferred, as he said, to teach his leisure to the study of American character in American books and to observe American life outside of conventional society. Emerson was his favorite author, and from his writings he adopted his motto. These and other things that are being said of this quiet diplomat and silent man who keen "observing eyes" are interesting to know. It is evident that Komura is going to wear well upon closer acquaintance. WRONG SORT Perhaps Plain Old Meat. Potatoes and Bread may Be Against You for a Time. A change to the right kind of food can lift one from a sick bed. A lady in Weldon, ill., says: "Last Spring I became bed-fast with severe stomach trouble accompanied by sick headache. I got worse and worse until I became so low I could scarcely, retain any food at all, although I tried every kind. I had be come completely discouraged, and given up all hope and thought I was doomed to starve to death, till one day my husband trying to find some thing I could retain brought home some Grane-Nuts. "To my surprise the food agree with me, digested perfectly and with out distress. I began to gain strength at once, my flesh (which had been flabby) grew firmer, my health is proved in every way and every day and in a very few weeks I gained 3 pounds in weight. I liked Grape-Nut so well that for 4 months I ate no other food, and always felt as well satisfied after eating as if I had sat down to a fine banquet. "I had no return of the miserable sick stomach nor of the headaches that I used to have when I are other food. I am now a well woman, done all my work again, and feel that life is worth living. life is worth a gift." "Grape-Nuts food has been a good send to my family; it surely saved my life and my two little boys have thrived on it wonderfully." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.
