Chanee For Every Man World Holds Opportuni For Every Man Reardless Of Color A issue of the Chicago Chronicle an editorial of much interest to the colored peo- country. The gist of the was that the Negro should regard himself as the ward nation and strive to hew out salvation. Among other things wrote said: I well-meaning white people assumed that in the North and south the eNgro is in some way down-trodden, that he be a ward of the nation and must always be wept over, rarely speaking. sort of treatment must have and must be irritating to sturdy reliable Negroes who ask no anybody, and who are doing well without the nursing bottle Caucasian philanthropists. Negroes, among whom Booker ington is the most prioninent, he is not necessarily the most have sought to discourage the arten theories of the white sen- ists. They have accomplished deal in that direction. native white men to e$ah is needed, however, is for native white men to disabuse zero of the erroneous notions have been propagated by other men. John Wanamaker's speech National Negro Business League Delphia, is the kind of talk will accomplish the desired re- Wanamaker told the League must truth when he declared that we failure is not a matter of e or place. It is a matter of education, energy and honesty, and those qualities are juist as available and just as valuable to the Negro as to the white man. It is also true, as the Philadelphia merchant declared, that the Negro cannot hope to succeed materially or morally, through chance, favoritism or sympathy. He might have added that every man, white or black, must in the end, work out his own salvation. The Negro is not to be lifted or carried, but given a place in the procession and left alone. If he falls behind or falls out that will be his own fault, and if he gains the front ranks it will be his own glory. The world holds opportunities for every energetic man, regardless of the color of his skin. Neither the world nor society owes any man a living until he earns it. · When the fundamental fact is recognized by the Negroes it will be advisable to enforce it upon a good many white people. What all colors of men in the country need to realize is that society does not organize government for the purpose of coddling anybody." Served Right Southern Drunken Bullies Get A Dose Of Cold Lead For Insulting A Colored Lady Louisville, Ky., Thursday.—As a result of entering the Jim Crow department for Negroes, drinking, swearing and using all kinds of vulgar language, Alfred Ray was instantly killed and William Blaine was fatally shot; both are white. The trouble occurred on train No. 24 of the Louisville, Henderson & St. Louis Railroad near Stephenville. It is said that the two men were drunk, wanted to break up the Jim Crow and run things their own way. When the conductor approached for their fares, they became abusive and made the conductor turn out. The Negro porter seeing that the men wanted to run the train, and being incensed over the use of such vulgar language in the presence of a highly respected colored lady, pulled out a 44 Colts improved and shot the mer. A later report gives that the conductor was run of the train, consequently was unble to give ny account of the tragedy. This is only one of the many damnable instances of Southern white ruffians who have no respect for the respectability of a colored lady. A few more lessons like this will bring them to their senses, and hold them in their place.

Main street, Saturday September 9th, with a full line of meats, lrd, and other articles usually found in a meat market.

NO NEGRO THERE Syracuse, Ohio, a town of 2,000 inhabitants, has no negro within its limits and will not permit one to remain there over night. Since the town was founded in 1815 not a negro family has lived there. About 1855 two negroes were employed as domestics in a family in the lower end, but they did not stay long. An Author Prof. J. H. Jackson, of Colorado Springs, author of "The History of Education from the Greeks to the Present Time" was in the city during the week, and left Friday for Oklahoma City. Prof. Jackson is enroute to Muscogee to attend the Western Negro Press Association. The History of Education written by him has been adopted as a text book by the great A. M. church and many of our best educators have written flattering testimonials in regard to it. The book should be in every colored home in Wichita, since it speaks in thunder tones of the wonderful advancement that our race has made in this country in forty years. Price of the book is $1.10. Address Jno H. Jackson, 218 So. Prospect St., Colorado Springs, Colorado. SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY MORN ING. Vacation time is about over, and the school children will begin to wend their way to school on Monday morning, September 11th, which will mark the beginning of the new school year. Many odditions, improvements and repairs have been made by the school board during vacation, all looking forward to the convenience and comfort of the children who will attend school this year. Every parent owes it to themselves and to their children to see to it that each child enters with the opening and remains during the whole term and especially is this true of every colored parent. Every colored parent ought to see to it that their children attend school and we hope that there will not be as many colored pu puu sjeeaeae aq no suuueuo uepipip the alleys during this term as there was during the last school term. These parents who are unconcerned and careless about seeing that their children attend school ought to be punished according to law. There is no excuse for any child black or white, not attending school, and parents com- mit an unpardonable and inexcusable crime in not keeping their children in school. Their neglect in not sending their children to school is only forcing upon the community a new crop of criminals and candidates for the reform school and penitentiary and to that extent the public is concerned and has a right to step in and place an end to "criminal raising" and should force punishment on the heads of those thus guilty. Let eery parent prepare his boy or girl and start them to school Monday morning and keep them there during the whole term. New Hope Baptist Chuch Will Install Their New Pas- The New Hope Baptist church is making great preparations for the installation of their new pastor, Rev. W. H. Burill, on Sunday, Sept. 17th. They anticipate a grand time. Rev. W. H. Joniigans, D. D. of Oklahoma City, will preach the installation sermon. The church and pastor extends a very cordial invitation to the pastors and members of the other churches of the city to be with them on this date. Come, and make yourself at home. Rev. W. H. Burill, pastor Miss Lizzie Underwood, sec. HURRAH FOR ATCHISON R. H. Cane Temple and Crescent Tabernacle, of Atchison, Kansas, has just made a payment of $465.00 on their hall on lower Commercial street and are preparing to serve meals there during "Corn Carnival" September 13-14. The newly elected officers and members are working nicely. Atchison is holding her own. A PLEASANT TRIP. W. M. Dent, one of our very prominent colored men, has returned from a very pleasant visit to his old home in Roanoke, Va. He speaks in the highest terms of his trip, of the people he saw and of the progress which they are making in that part of the country. From Wichita he went to Kansas City, then to St. Louis and on to Cincinnati, thence to Chillicothe, Ohio, to Bluefield, West Virginia, and ended his trip at Roanoke, Virginia, where his mother and many friends were awaiting him with open arms. He received the very best treatment and says that in the way of work, as far as he could see the colored people got all the work they could do and seemed to be doing well. While in Roanoke Mr. Dent purchased a home for his mother and presented her the deed and had her goods moved into it—and hereafter she can take life easy. Besides paying for the home he will pay the taxes each year on the property as they come due. He feels much improved over his He feels much improved over his trip and the fine time which he had. Rev. W. H. Burill expects his wife to be in the city in a few days. An Address Delivered By Jas. J Olden At Garfield Hall Mr. Jas. J. Olden delivered a fine talk at Garfield hall Thursday night. It was filled with good, sound, wholesome remarks and for the benefit of our readers we produce his talk almost in a whole. His subject was one of wide—and interesting interest to every black man and is worthy of close study. He spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Members of the Literary Society, Ladies and Gentlemen: I consider it a great honor and I assure you it is a pleasure for me to stand before you on this platform tonight to talk to you for a few moments on the subject assigned me—" "The Commercial Interests of Our People." There is no historical recount of any race of people who have made the very phenomenal progress in the commercial world in the same space of time that the Afro-American or Negro race has made in America in the past forty years. With all the hindrances, drawbacks and obstacles which has come to them—these people haae pushed onward and upward until today they are represented in every avenue of trade, business or profession. The white man has been in America since 1492 when Columbus discovered the new world, and the white man has had to credit every day as a free man with all the opportunities for learning, development and culture in arts, business and professions. The Negro has been in America about 300 years—and for more than 250 years of this time the Negro has been tied hands, feet and mind by one of the most cursed slaveries that has fallen the lot of any people. Yet, the Negro, after only forty of freedom has and is now measuring arms, shoulder to shoulder with the white man who has had 500 years of uninterrupted and continuous freedom and continuous access to knowledge. It is not in a boastful or thoughtless vein that I repeat "there's no people on whom God's sun has shown who have made the marked progress which the American Negro has made. As inventors, as merchants, as lawyers, as doctors, and in all lines he has his share. I am interested in the Negro because my heart is with him and with him to stay. In wealth the race is worth, in round numbers, $900,000,000.00—how is this for a people who forty years ago were turned loose with nothing to struggle or die. From 4,000,000 souls they have increased to more than 10,000,000. We have our farms, we rent farms owned by the former master, have bought plantations on which we were formerly slaves, and are working every day side by side with former masters, drawing the same pay and in many cases we even hire former masters, their children and grandchildren—all this in orty years. Every Negro should be proud of his race and should do like other nationalities when one of their race go into business trade with them even though you have to go a few blocks out of your way. If a Negro is in the grocery business the laundry ```markdown ``` NO 19 business, the law business, the newspaper business, the drug business, the meat market business or any other business—trade with them for every cent you spend there helps them to provide a place to give your boy or girl an employment." Mr. Olden here gave a short sketch of his residence in Wichita and how he has struggled to get to the front and concluded as follows: "I am interested in the commercial interests of my people because I love them and want to see them push forward till they have reached the highest mark of commercial activity." A Fine Paper Read By Mrs. Richard Love. We note the following from the paper read by Mrs. Richard Love, at Garfield hall, Thursday night: "A very striking remark was made by Mr. Gladstone, while making a speech in the British House of Commons. He, with the light of a great confidence upon his face, said: 'But the future is ours; you may have the past.' This should be in the mind of every young man, that the future belongs to him, that for him life is not has been, but to be, and in which he must strive to make his mark. The years will, in great measure, take such a shape as he shall choose to give them. Now then: Let no young man get in the way of thinking that to determine to make the utmost possible of himself or the years to come is to be selfish, but every young man should see and seize the radical distinction between an enlightened self-interest and selfishness. Selfishness is the undue, greedy, conscienceless love of self. An enlightened self-interest is the due, righteous love of self, "Love thy neighbor as thyself," said the Master. The Master makes distinct appeal, also, when He hids us thoughtfully cast up the account and strike the balance. "For what will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" To reach the highest mark—to become the best—to achieve the loftiest destiny—to make actual, in the self the divine ideal, for one to determine to do this, to grandly compel the coming year to yield increasing help toward the urging of a motive pure and high which the Lord invokes—Let a wise self-interest seize and lift you. In closing, she wrote as follows. "A young man once asked for help in securing an easy place in which he might make his mark, but in answer Mr. Beecher wrote these striking remarks: 'You cannot be an editor; do not try the law; do not think of the ministry; let alone all ships, ships and merchandise; abhor politics; don't practice medicine; be not a farmer or a mechanic, neither be a soldier nor a sailor; don't work; don't study; don't think. None of these are easy, my son. You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in this world, and that is the grave." ATTENTION KNIGHTS!

WE ARE JUSTLY PROUD. We trust that our readers will not consider us unduly vain, if we, at this rehearse a few facts concerning the progress made by the colored people in this city in the way of business pursuits and home-getting, since the Searchlight has been publishing in this city. Now, it is not our aim nor would we dare claim the praise for the inspiration which has led them on to a most pleasant progress, however, if we have been the means in any way to have bpilt or help build that inspiration even in its smallest degree we shall feel that we have accomplished that much of our mission as "a moulder of pubblic sentiment or inspiration." When th Searchlight began its mission here, the only representation the colored people had in a business way was two barber shops, two restaurants, one hand laundry and two rooming houses—this was the sum total. In the way of homes—not more than 3 per cent of the colored people owned or were buying their own homes. Today the race can point with pride to a drug store, a grocery store, two pool halls, a meat market, two hotels, several rooming houses, two barber shops, one bath room, two restaurants; all of which have been added since we began. Those who have been on our list of readers for some time can, no doubt, distinctly remember how earnestly and constantly we have uurged upon our people to enter into the business field. In the way of home-etting it is safe to say that more than 18 per cent of the colored people of Wichita either own or buying their own homes which is a very appreciable increase of tax-payers among them in six year's time. It is, then, a source of great pleasure to us to look over and visit the various places of business among our people here and which have sprung up and are flourishing all since we began our work among them. We say to each of them keep pushing forward, onward and upward—and The SearchLight, if it cannot keep up even, willl try to stay in sight. Pay your honest debts remember you will want credit again. Don't cheat or take advantage of your negro newspaper man. Taborian Charts Fully Illustrated, Beautifully and Artfully Designed.

Mr. McKelly has the very distinct distinction of being the only colored man owning property on the west side, and - so - be - it he is the only colored family over there at all- and is the same gentleman who presence on the west side and whose expressed intention t remain over there - caused such a commotion and stir among certain elements of white a few years ago however, things have change now, the whites who would have had fits then - are proud of Mr. McKelly now and point him now to him now as being one of the best west side citizens. He has proven to be a man among men. Mr McKelly raises a fine garden every year - he presented to the editor of Searchlight some of largest and sweetest" sweet-potatoes that individual has ever devised - and and it is needless to say that the Searchlight man's eyes are wide open looking and looking for to sample some of Mr McKelly's fine 9105 Sweet-Potatoes.

River St. Sunday afternoon and found six children two of them barely one year old. Every comfort which management can give with the very small money at their command, is given to these poor children and the great interest which the Matron, Mrs. Neely gives to each of these children convinces one that more attention should be paid to this institution by the people whoes interest it is maintained - the colored people. Mr Neely the Supt. of the Home works hard from early morning till late at night in order to Keep every thing in his power to make the institution a success This year he has allalone, produced one of the best and most valuable crops on that section. Both the managers and the home should receive better attention at the hands of our people. A COZY HOME. The finishing touches are being made on the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Young, 539 N.

While strolling down, the avenue, with the hot sun broiling down on his head, a reporter dropped in the office of the Lopez Remedy Co. to get the use of their phone. During his stay there, the conversation gradually drifted to the merits of their remedies and the cures related were so truly wonderful that we deem it a step toward helping suffering humanity to give a little history of the growth of this company and the good it has done to the poor unfortunate suffering. The Lopez Remedies were first used in Spain in the early part of the nineteenth century by one of Spain's specialists and before his death the doctors of Spain had wondered at the marvelous cures this great specialist had made, but the formula being a secret, they were unable tofathom the cause of his great success. The formula was handed down from generation to generation without ever being used until the year 1900 when it was dug out of some treasures by Dr. Lopez in South America and used in that country on blood diseases. Dr. Lopez saw that by changing some ingredients there could be made three standard remedies which could each be used for their own individual cures. After a careful test the remedies were pronounced perfect and to the present day their equal has never been found. The present company purchased the formulas from Dr. Lopez, together with all rights protected, to put on the market for the sake of those who are termed by physiciansETAOINNNUN termed by many physicians incurable. The success this company has made during the short time they have put these remedies on the market is beyond the belief of the ordinary person and is surely marvelous. The Lopez Remedy Co. began business in Wichita in January, 1901, in a small way and today have the home office and laboratory here with branch offices in many large cities and with a principal one at Hot Springs, Ark. The reason for establishing an office at the latter place was to catch the thousands of people who visit this place to gain their health after having been given up as incurable by their home physicians. Their office at Hot Springs has given this company a world-wide reputation as people visit there from all parts of the globe. The Lopez Remedies have become noted proprietary medicines and are now handled by the largest wholesale drug stores in the world. This speaks well for their remedies as there are hundreds of proprietary remedies that have been on the market for years that are not listed by the wholesalers and and these are listed already, only having been on the market a little over two years. These people are sending their remedies daily to all points in the United States and Wichita can boast of having a concern that has been the cause of restoring thousands of people to good health that were pronounced utterly incurable. They have thousands of testimonials which gives them great pride to show to people who are troubled with poor health. (First Publication in the Wichita Searchlight, August 19, 1905.)

Rendered Fine The program rendered by the Toussaunt la Overture Literary Society at Garfield hall, Thursday night, was a grand literary and intellectual success. Quite an appreciative audience greeted the program numbers as they were called forth. Prof. R. M. Wilson, master of program, made a few very appropriate remarks concerning the work of the society, after which he announced a chorus as the first on program, after which, Mr. Thos. H. Yancy read a paper on "Christianity," which was well received. Following this was an instrumental solo by Miss Pansy Cox who acquitted herself in a fine manner. Mr. B. M. Crawford was then called and delivered a mastery oration, "Christianity in Relation to the Negro's Progress." His oration was filled with bright, sturdy thoughts at once convincing and logical. Following this was a soul-stirring solo by Mr. Charles Price. One of the captivating numbers was the next, a duet, by Master Alban Foster, violin, and Miss Carrie Foster, piano. Their music was something fine and the audience went wild in their applause. They made a lasting impression. The next number being absent, the Master of Program introduced Prof. J. H. Jackson, of Colorado Springs, Colo., who made a few inspiring remarks. As the next number on program Mrs. Richard Love read a very interesting paper from the subject, "What a Young Man Should Be to Himself to Make a Mark in This World." Her paper was well received. The next number was a talk by Mr. Jas. J. Olden, "Our Commercial Interests," which was loudly applauded. Following this was a paper by Mr. Samuel Walker on "Literary Work," which all received with favor. Miss Ida Bowman, in an oration, "A Word to the Twentieth Century Negro," raised the roof and crowned the evening with laurels to her favor. Her clear, ringing voice, forceful delivery, clearness o speech, and distinctive pronunciation and simplicity, but preciseness of words well earned for her the banner of the evening which she carried away amid loud and long applause. Miss Bowman is an orator of no mean qualities and is destined to yet fill an honorable page in the coming literary history. Last, but not least on the program, was a talk by Dr. D. L. Stewart, on "Sanitation Among Negroes," which, while new, was well said and amply explained. After the rendition o the program the house was turned over to the young people who danced till the wee hours of the morning. All well pleased. NEWTON, KANSAS. Mrs. W. N.

The French reply to the German note on the subject of Morocco, was delivered to Prince Randolin. The situation is described as being most amicable and it remains only to fix the date and place for the international conference.

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. An Old English Wager. In the Gentleman's Magazine, an old English publication, for 1750, appears the following: "On Wednesday 29 (August) at 7 in the morning was decided at Newmarket a remarkable wager for 1,000 guineas (5,000) laid by Theobald Taaf, Esq., against the Earl of March and Lord Eglinton, who were to provide a four-wheel carriage with a man in it to be drawn by four horses nineteen miles an hour; it was performed in 53 minutes and 27 seconds." Each of the horses was ridden by a jockey, and only harnessed to the carriage by loose straps. Between the hind wheels sat another jockey, who guided the carriage by moving a handle like that of the modern bicycle. Chinese at West Point Ting Shian Chen and Ying Hsing Wen are the names of two Chinese who have entered West Point. There are thirty-six military schools in China, and from these particularly intelligent students have been selected to study the art of war in the military schools of the principal nations of the world. Three thousand are studying in Japan. In order to permit these Chinese studying at West Point congress had to pass a law, which it did at the recommendation of the president and the request of the Chinese government. Chen and Wen studied in 1904 at the University of California and are said to speak fluently seven languages. Buccaneer Fish The blue buccaneers are among the most voracious of all fish. Swift, strong, armed with efficient teeth, they possess unlimited appetites and they know not the meaning of mercy or fear. Most destructive of all our sea fish, they rival the worst of the carnivorous species of South American waters. They are the wolves of the sea, and very frequently they destroy for what appears to be a mere love of butchery. They move in large schools and they never hesitate to attack fishes of almost twice their own size. Hammering the Nose In treating red noses a Paris physician uses an instrument resembling a very large tooth brush, but having forty platinum wires instead of bristles. This instrument is as heavy as an ordinary household hammer. It is connected with an electrical machine, and is then used in hammering the troublesome nose rather sharply for several minutes, or until bleeding is produced. It is claimed that two hammerings a week for some months will tone down the reddest nose to a delicate pink. Sugar Beets in Persia. Persia has asked Russia to send sugar experts to examine the possibility of the cultivation of beet root in Persia, and of the establishment of refineries there.

YELLOW CRUST ON BABY Would Crack Open and Scab Causing Terrible Itching—Cured by Cuticura. "Our baby had a yellow crust on his head which I could not keep away. When I thought I had succeeded in getting his head clear, it would start again by the crown of his head, crack and scale, and cause terrible itching. I then got Cuticura Soap and Ointment, washing the scalp with the soap and then applying the Ointment. A few treatments made a complete cure. I have advised a number of mothers to use Cuticura, when I have been asked about the same alliment of their babies. Mrs. John Boyce, Pine Bush, N. Y."

It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health. Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Charles H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. Wm. L. Rosserman, of Buffalo, N. Y., says: "I am pleased to speak a good word for your Castoria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family." Dr. Wm. L. Rosserman, of Buffalo, N. Y., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. I. McCann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clanson, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has certainly is the number of homes blessed by the presence of children, secrely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. Channing H. Cook, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact most medicines of this character are obnoxious and therefore difficult of administration. As a habitive, I consider it the peer of anything that I ever prescribed." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe prophylaxis for other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe you Castoril in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for a variety of ailments, to be raised a family, as I have, will join me in my heartiest recommendation of Castoril."

The man who told his rich relatives that thenceforth he would be as one dead to the world went to Philadelphia. To show how careless some of us are it may be mentioned that a lot of us had forgotten that the Ziegler party was lost. It is, of course, difficult to get any one to believe the absurd criticism that Alfred Austin's poetry has deteriorated. Whisky has gone up on account of the high price of corn. Is that a bluff to make us think corn is used in making the stuff? Fortunately it is not going to make any difference to the solar system what theory the college professors evolve about it. Korea is ready to testify that being called a "protectorate" does not make the process of political extermination any less painful. The statement that "bald-headed men never have consumption" should be soothing to the bald-headed men who think they have it. A New York policeman is said to have lost his sense of smell. No reason, however, to believe that he has lost his sense of "touch." Judging from Rockefeller's case, a man has to be a billionaire before he finds out that the best medicines are sunshine, water and fresh air. Now it is the nebular hypothesis which is discredited by the iconoclastic scientists. The theory of gravitation will get a black eye one of these days.

A Pittsburg heiress has been disinherited for marrying a young attorney of that city. Her parents probably knew of an earl or a marquis whom they could have got for her at a bargain. A New York girl who after being jilted vowed that she would find a husband within a month got him in fifteen days. She must understand, however, that she has not broken any records. The chorus girl who after being married to an old gentleman a year became a widow with a fortune of $5,000,000 is probably convinced that skill in the matter of choosing is more important than luck. If the spots on the sun are responsible for the heat, as some of the scientific gentlemen assure us, a total eclipse of the sun ought to be about the hottest proposition that ever came over the weather pike. Magazine writers are discussing this question: "Is it a sacrifice to take great office?" It may be, but if it is, it only shows how self-sacrifice the average American can be when called upon to accept a public trust to which there is attached a salary. Two wealthy Pittsburg families have gone to law over a game rooster that is owned by one of them and has disturbed the other by early morning crowing. If they don't watch out they may not have enough left when the lawyers get through with them to buy titled husbands for their daughters. Paterson, N. J., has offered $2,000 for her lost mayor. This high price is explained by the fact that he took $100,000. If the finder returns the money, they will let the mayor go. FEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS Did Not Disappear Until the Blood Was Renewed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Typhoid fever is sometimes called nervous fever. During the course of the fever the nerves are always profoundly disturbed, and when it is over they are left so sensitive that the patient has to be guarded against all excitement. In the tonic treatment then demanded, regard must be paid not only to building up flesh but also to strengthening the nerves. A remedy that will do both, make sound flesh to repair waste and give new vigor to feeble nerves, is the most convenient and economical. Such a remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. One proof of this is the experience of Mr. Charles Worth, of East Vassalboro, Maine. He says: "I had a severe attack of typhoid fever late in the fall which left me very weak and debilitated. My heart palpitated, my breathing became difficult after the least exertion and there was numbness in both hands. I suffered in that way for fully six months. As I did not grow out of it, did not in fact see the slightest improvement as time passed, I decided to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as I knew of some cures they had effected in cases like mine. "Almost as soon as I began taking them I could see decided improvement and after keeping on with them for several weeks I was completely well. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a most valuable remedy, and I am in the habit of recommending them to others afflicted as I was." When the nerves ache and tremble it means that they are starving. The only way to feed them is through the blood, and the best food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are absolutely guaranteed to be free from opiates or other harmful drugs. They are sold by all drugists, or may be obtained directly from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Scheneotady. N. Y. An honest man neither buys others nor sells himself.

Italy's greatest living poet, Giosue Carducci, celebrated his 70th birthday on July 27. Until a few months ago he had retained his chair of professor of classical literature at the University of Bologna, which he first occupied in 1860. He made up his mind at that time to give up poetry and devote himself exclusively to philological and literary tasks; but in 1867 he brought out his "Hymn to Satan," which made a sensation and established his fame. In this and other works he mercilessly castigated the follies of Italy. While aware that political verse is ephemeral, he wrote a good deal of it. During the Franco-Prussian war he sympathized strongly with the French, and bitterly attacked Wilhelm I. Perhaps the oddest of his poems is that in which he likens Robespierre to Kant. CUST THE DEMON. A Tussle with Coffee There is something fairly demoniac in the way coffee sometimes wreaks its flendish malice on those who use it. A lady writing from Calif. says:— "My husband and I, both lovers of coffee, suffered for some time from a very annoying form of nervousness, accompanied by most frightful headaches. In my own case there was eventually developed some sort of affection of the nerves leading from the spine to the head. "I was unable to hold my head up straight, the tension of the nerves drew it to one side, causing me the most intense pain. We got no relief from medicine, and were puzzled as to what caused the trouble, until a friend suggested that possibly the coffee we drank had something to do with it, and advised that we quit it and try Postum Coffee. "We followed his advice, and from the day that we began to use Postum we both began to improve, and in a very short time both of us were entirely relieved. The nerves became steady once more, the headaches ceased, the muscles in the back of my neck relaxed, my head straightened up and the dreadful pain that had so punished me while I used the old kind of coffee vanished. "We have never resumed the use of the old coffee, but relish our Postum every day as well as we did the former beverage. And we are delighted to find that, we can give it freely to our children also, something we never dared to do with the old kind of coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum Coffee contains absolutely no drugs of any kind, but relleaves the coffee drinker from the old drug poison. There's a reason. WANT SEPARATE TRIALS. This May be Demanded by the Chicago Packers. Chicago, Sept. 7. — Twenty-one separate trials may be demanded before federal judges by the Chicago packers indicted on charges of conspiracy in restraint of trade, within the next two weeks. After the matter of pleading had been continued until September 18 by Judge J. Otis Humphrey many of the attorneys interested in the case held a consultation and at least one agreement was reached whereby a separate trial will be demanded from the government. This move was anticipated by the government and every effort will be made by the federal attorneys to offset the request of the defendants. Assistant Attorney General Oliver Pagin, in speaking of the contemplated demand for separate trials declared that it is not probable that separate hearings will be granted by the federal courts under the one indictment charging conspiracy. "All these defendants are included in the one indictment charging conspiracy in restraint of trade," said Attorney Pagin. "Conspiracy of course will be the essence of the case and inasmuch as it takes all of these defendants together to form the alleged conspiracy there is no reason why they should not be tried together." PUBLIC PRINTER OUSTED. President Demands Resignation to take Effect September 15. Washington, Sept. 7.—Public Printer F. W. Palmer, practically has been ousted from office. It was learned authoritatively that President Roosevelt had demanded Palmer's resignation, to take effect on the 15th inst. The demand of the president for Palmer's resignation was due primarily to the latter's action in trying to force Oscar J. Ricketts, foreman of printing and L. C. Hay, a foreman of division, out of the government printing office. Palmer asked for the resignation of Ricketts and Hay on the ground that they had been insubordinate. As soon as President Roosevelt learned of the situation that had developed he directed Public Printer Palmer to forward his resignation to take effect in two weeks. It has been known for some time that Palmer would not stay. For several months before Roosevelt left Washington for Oyster Bay he was casting about for a suitable man for the position of public printer. He offered it to John A. Sleicher of New York, but he declined it, having something better in view. Until this time there has been no change in the situation. Chinese Minister to France.

Salina, Kan., Sept. 6. — J. F. Caldwell, a wealthy farmer and stockman living near Mentor, was killed at midnight last night while asleep in his bed. His head was frightfully crushed with an axe and blood spotches covered the entire sleeping room. His wife claims that she was sleeping beside her husband and that she was not awakened until she heard him gasping for breath. She aroused and lighted a lamp and called the three hired men who slept upstairs. Before they reached the room Caldwell was dead. An axe was found this morning with which the man had been killed. It had been washed carefully and wiped with a towel. The towel was found near the kitchen door. Caldwell was widely known and highly esteemed, but his friends know that he was an austere man in his home. One son had left home recently on account of his father's disposition, and a few years ago his wife left him, but a reconciliation followed. The coroner's jury is in session at the Caldwell home and it is expected that the verdict will hold Mrs. Caldwell to answer for the crime. Mrs. Caldwell stated that she woke up to find her husband gasping his last breath, having been stabbed by a man who had first ransacked the house Topeka. — A special to the Capital from Salina states that the coroner's jury has finished its inquest regarding the death of James F. Caldwell and returned a verdict holding Mrs. Caldwell, wife of the deceased, for murder. Mrs. Caldwell was arrested and is now in jail. No particulars regarding the evidence can be obtained.

B. Stillings of Boston, for the office of junior vice-commander-in-chief to fill the vacancies caused by the death of Commander-in-Chief Wilmon W. Blackmar and the promotion thereby of the new officials below him in line. The council also approved the work of its executive committee performed during the interim since the last encampment and audited the accounts of the official visit of Commander-in-Chief Blackmar upon the reception tendered his party by George W. Cook, chairman of the local executive committee, in which the latter is characterized as "a host with a bigger heart than all others" was made public by the national council for this first time. The streets were thronged and the strains of martial music were heard throughout the down-town district. Drum corps and brass bands followed by grizzled veterans marched to and from between department and national headquarters while sight-seers filled the sidewalks and congested the street curbings. The streets were brilliantly illuminated and the national colors in all sorts of forms flew from every building in the business section. Visitors say the decorations are the most elaborate ever attempted in honor of a Grand Army encampment. The program proper of encampment events begins and concludes a parade of naval veterans and military organizations. Camp fires begin soon. The national encampment executive board will convene in secret session on Thursday morning. The woman's auxiliary of the Union ex-prisoners of war will also convene in annual session. FOUR KILLED—MANY INJURED IN WRECK ON BURLINGTON Denver, Sept. 7. — More than a score of persons injured in a wreck on the Burlington railroad at Brush, Colo., eighty-eight miles east of Denver, were brought to this city and were placed in St. Luke's hospital. Four persons were killed in the accident and several of those injured may die. Fast freight No. 77, west-bound, going at the rate of about twenty miles an hour, crashed into the rear Pullman car of a section of passenger train No. 13, the "St. Louis Flyer," which had stopped to take water. This car was telescoped and split through the middle. A tourist Pullman car, a dining car, a chair car and five freight cars were also wrecked. The persons killed were in the rear Pullman and many of the injured were in the tourist car. Among the occupants of the rear Pullman were the officers of the Red Mountain Mining Company and capitalists from the East who were bound f.r western Colorado and Utah to inspect mining properties. CAUGHT AFTER LONG CHASE. Former Iowa Politician Charged With $40,000 Forcries. Chicago, Sept. 6. — A search which had lasted for over a year, and which had extended through Europe, Mexico and the United States, culminated here in the arrest of D. R. Wilson, formerly a prominent politician at Shenandoah, Ia. Willson is charged with forgeries amounting to $40,000, of which amount the First National bank, of Shenandoah, Ia., is the principal loser. According to the police, Willson left Iowa over a year ago after securing by means of a forged check, $15,000 from the First National Bank, of Shenandoah. After his disappearance other forgeries were discovered. Willson was followed through Europe and to the City of Mexico, where he was arrested. Friends in that city furnished bonds for him and he was released. He immediately left Mexico and his whereabouts were unknown until the police located him in Chicago. Willson made desperate resistance when arrested. He denied his identity, saying that his name was Johnson. DROWNED IN DETROIT RIVER Detroit, Mich., Sept. 6. — Percy Pound, aged 19 years, son of a prominent Detroit attorney, and two young ladies, Miss Maloney and Miss Anna Waldron, were drowned by the upsetting of a canoe in the American channel of the Detroit river near Belle Isle bridge this afternoon. Byron Mills, the fourth member of the party, swam ashore after making a vain effort to save his companions. The accident was witnessed by many people on a passing ferry and on Belle Isle bridge. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley household, and too often all the doctoring does no good. If a woman finds her energies are flagging, and that everything tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes, her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; if she has backache, headaches, bearing-down pains, nervousness, whites, irregularities, or despondency, she should take means to build her system up at once by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than all other medicines put together. It is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "Ever since my child was born I have suffered, as I hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. affected my stomach so that I could not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent TABLE Compound Succoeds Where Others F KEY TILL CURED - SEND FOR FREE CLASS.

THEY SHOOT WHERE YOU HOLD A French count, who is occupying a villa in a fashionable part of Carlsbad, Germany, takes his daily constitutional stroll accompanied by a young lion. The animal is a mere whelp about the size of a large retriever and appears to be greatly attached to its master. It is playful as a kitten and purrs like one. It is not allowed on the Carlsbad promenade by edict of the city fathers. Not a "Liberal" Candidate. One of the candidates at a recent election in Derbyshire, England, was a newcomer not remarkable for his generosity. He found himself defeated at the polls, and bade adieu to the electors with the words: "At any rate, ladies and gentlemen, my wife and I have spent a very happy fortnight in the peak." "Yes," came a sudden retort from the crowd, "and that's all you have spent." Elephant's Milk. The milk of an average cow contains about 4 per cent of cream; nearly 20 per cent of the elephant's milk is cream. Even buffalo milk is about twice as rich as cow's milk, and the creamiest of all, that of the porpoise, actually holds over 45 per cent of cream, says Knowledge. Monticello, Miss., Sept. 4 (Special) —Lawrence County is almost daily in receipt of fresh evidence that a sure cure for all Kidney Troubles has at last been found, and that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. Among those who have reason to bless the Great American Kidney Remedy is Mrs. L. E. Baggett of this place. Mrs. Baggett had dropsy. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. "I was troubled with my kidneys," Mrs. Baggett says in recommending Dodd's Kidney Pills to her friends, "my urine would hardly pass. The Doctors said I had Dropsy. I have taken Dodd's Kidney Pills as directed and am now a well woman." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the kidneys. Cured Kidney strain all the impurities out of the blood. That means pure blood and a sound, energetic body. Dodd's Kidney pills are the greatest tonic the world has ever known Four-fifths of the human body is water and in women it consists of unshaped tears. consists of un- Seven-eighths of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes—because she has the qualities which inspire admiration, respect and love. There is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and destroyed. What a disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head! A sickly, half-dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyousness in the home, and a drag upon her husband. The cost of a wife's constant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often toring does no good. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Not a "Liberal" Candidate. Elephant's Milk. Sure Cure at Last. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and I feel so ful that I am glad to write and tell you my marvelous recovery.

Its benefits begin when its use begins. It gives strength and vigor from the start, and surely makes sick women well and robust. Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound holds the record for the greatest number of actual energy women's ills.
