"It should be born in mind that such intemperance is frequently as much an effecte of brain weakness as a cause, and the intermingling of these render it utterly impossible to arrive at a concise conclusion. "In any case, it cannot be denied that alcohol is a brain poison, and it is therefore incumbent to show what part it plays in insanity. It is interesting to observe as regards intemperance being associated with insanity, that the counties where the proposition of such cases was large are mainly those in which, from the criminal statistics, crimes associated with drunkenness prevail. Fiipinos Are Barred On Account of Color Bloomington, Illinois, Barbers Refuse To Shave The Dark Skin Students The barbers at the Normal school at Bloomington, Ill., have drawn the color line on the six Filipinos students and will not shave them. They claim that their white customers have notified them that they must either cease serving the Filipinos or lose other patronage. WICHITA, KANSAS OCT 7 1905 Color Line In the Phillippi White American Officers Acc By The Natives of Drawing Line-Trouble Fol In the Phillippines A dispatch from Manila, Phillippine Island, tells of dissatisfaction that exists among the native Phillippinos at the action of the white American officers toward the dark-skined natives. It seems that the white army officers are trying to establish the same race prejudiced toward the natives, who are wholly of dark skin, that now is held by the average American white man in this country. The Phillippinos won't stand for this treatment and therefore the trouble. The following tells the tale, "At a banquet tendered the Provincial Government by Senor Cruz Herrera, President of the Manila Municipal Board, a sensational scene occurred. Senor Herrera, in the course of an address to the banquetters, became very much excited in discussing the political afflictions of the Phillippinos, and made many startling accusations against the American government of the islands. He stated among other things, that Governor General Luke E. Wright was not in sympathy with the natives, and was not a proper person to hold the position as Governor-General of the Phillippines, "Governor Wright" said Senor Herrera, "knowingly permits the abuse of helpless natives by the officers of the American constibulary, and makes no effort to prevent these outrages or punish the offender" "Vice-Governor Ide, and, in fact all of the American members of the Phillippine Civil Commission no longer have at heart the interests of my people, and are no longer in sympathy with us in our afflictions. Then, Mrs, Wright is a Southern woman and prejudiced against the black race. We are never invited to the palace." At this point Gov, Curry, an American and an ex-member of the Rough Riders, hurled a wine glass at the speaker, who dodged and sent another wine glass at the head of Curry. Neither party was hit and before further demonstration each party was hurried out of harm's way. A scene Phillippines Officers Accused natives of Trouble Follows of wild confusion reigned and the banquet broke up in wild disorder The statements of Senor Herreras is of far more than passing importance as he is one of the very prominent Philippines, intelligent and well to do—and under the be lief that the American government would be a help to his people he was one of the Americans most trusted counsellors and friends. He has occupied various offices both before and since American occupation and has a big following among the natives. The fact that Sanor Herrera was chosen "honorary alcade" or mayor to present the golden key to Secretary Taft on his recent visit to Manila shows his prominence and adds importance to his remarks.

Within a few days Topeka will have natural gas for domestic nse. It's a good thing. The Friend's University of Wichita has 'cut out' football from it's college sports. This is good for the students — but will make business mighty dull for the ambulances and the surgeons this winter. GRAND RECEPTION.

Negroes Long For America Eighteen American Negroes Who Went To Liberia, Africa Appeal To Friends In America For Aid To Return Transportation arrangements have just been completed for the return of eighteen much disappointed Negroes from Africa to the United States after three years spent in Liberia, Africa. They some time ago became surfeited with their experience with Africa. The Negroes who are to come back are members of a large party that left Ocila, Ga., for Liberia. They had given need to representations that had been made to them and had pictured the land of plenty. They gathered together their belongings, and made disposition of their affairs, listened not to the advice of friend took the train for Savanah and here boarded a vessel to N. Y., whence they proceeded to Liverpool and thence to Monrovia. It was not long after their arrival in Monrovia that the American Negroes discovered that they had made a mistake. They could obtain no profitable work and were soon reduced to the point of starvation, misery and want. There chanced to be in the party from Ocila two or three men who had not disposed of their property when they went to Africa. To these they appealed and through them friends in Ocila became interested and money was raised on the property with which to defray the expense of transportation for the party. BIG SUNFLOWER W. R.

LOPEZ REMEDY CO.. 313 E. Douglas, Wichita, Kan. NO 23 St. Peter Negro? "Black Hebrews" Announce Discovery Part of their Creed "Was St. Peter a black man? This latest ethnological and religious theory is the product of Wm S. Crowdy, a Negro, and he is the prophet and preacher of a new sect, with a large membership in Washington, D. C. These religionist hold that the black race dwelt first in Jerusalem and that they are the origin al Black Jews. One of the evangelists of the doctrine asserts that St. Peter was not only a black man, but that he had thick lips and a flat nose. The sect observes Saturday as Sabbath and claims to invoke other Jewish customs. "The Black Hebrews" regard their banishment from Jarusalem originally as one of the persecutions referred to in the Bible, and that slavery was the last persecution referred to in the Bible. The great liquor fight is on in Kansas—all we can say is "Fight, Fight, Ye are no kin." H. W. Harding has received notice from Washington, D. C., of his appointment as stenographer and typewriter in the government service. He will be stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas, with headquarters at Junction City. Jeff Thompson came in from Geuda Springs, Thursday. Jeff is looking fine and says he feels the same. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Southard are making very nice additions to their home. Thirteenth and Lewellyn avenue. The circus, it appears, has been elevated. Now let all available energy be concentrated on the theater. A man says the trusts have driven him to crime. Here is a hint to drunkards in need of a new excuse. Existence is a fight against the storms of trouble, and Cupid is the fellow who hands out the life preservers. Society, says a Philadelphia minister, is going wild. It may have misunderstood the appeal for a return to nature. The war incident cannot be considered closed until Rujjr'd Kipling has written one of his stirring poems about it. When Maggie Fox of Minneapolis found her lost bustle containing $500, she was that much ahead and that much behind. The mystery of what the baby speaks is solved. It is Esperanto, for it is spoken fluently and nobody can understand it. Then there is the mortifying reflection that the astronomers on the planet Mars must have discovered our north pole ages ago. As a New York boy has been held in $1,000 bail on a charge of stealing a watermelon the inference is that a colored man was on the bench. Judging by the picture of the woman in the New Jersey jail who confesses to having four husbands, she must have been a hypnotist. They have found a man in New York who has been married fifty times, and he has never applied for one of those Carnegie hero medals. WOBLIYA. KANS. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

A DANDY GIFT Our friend M E McKelly, the west side gardner, presented the editor of the Searchlight with six stalks of fine pop-corn and a great big yellow pumpkin. The pop-corn is the finest specimen which the pen-pusher of the Searchlight has ever seen it measuring 8 ft from tip to tip. The pumpain is one of those large fine fellows and tipped the scale at 35 1/4 pounds. We prize both highly and thank brother McKelly from the bottom of our heart and invite him to call again, any time. OFFICER DISCHARGED Officer Frank Gardenhire, colored poiteman, was summarily discharged from the police force by Chief of Police, Geo. T Cubbon last Sunday morning, Oct. 1st on account of charges which have not been made public. All are greatly surprised the discharge of Gardenhire as he was considered by the "out-side guys" as being the "man prop" of the present city administration and without Gardenhire what on earth will the police force of Wichita do? Frank 'started" alright, but soon caught the disease so common to many of the boys from sudden and unproportioned promotion and which disease for the want of a better name called the "Big-Head" and there on hangs a might tale of woe. Gardenhire has had more different good polital jobs than any other colored man in Sedgwick county, but he has never been able to hold any of his jobs but a very short time. The reessen we cannot say. The street car compaup had total of fun this week—it shut off the power every morning about 8 so the motormen and conductors could get the laugh on the school children as they had to walk to school.

P. Bearce Miller. Sec. There was hearty hand-shaking and congratulations at the A M B church all day Sunday. Everyone seemed to be in smiles and those who could not smile were grinning. All this was because Bishop Grant had sent Rev H W King back to Wichita for another year. With his new clergy suit — none seemed to have been prouder than Rev King. Many promises were made to Rev King for future work. If one-third of the premises made are carried out Rev King's work in Wichita this year will be the most notable in the history of Kansas—and there is no reason why every promise should not fa thffully be kept. John E Lewis went to Coffeyville to attend the Baptist State Convention at that place. Word from Porter Perry, who went to Lynville, Tenn., to attend the bedside of his sick mother, Mrs. Mary P'erry, States that his mother died on Sept. 27 th. The host of friends of young Prry extend their sympathy to his bereavement. A card received from Mrs. Sarah Pollard, farmerly of Wichita, by the Searchlight states that Mrs. Pallard and the children are visiting relatives in good old Kentuckey Mrs Pallait visited in Danville e. and Decateen Ill. and on her return will spend several weeks in Cincinnattie Ohio. The many Wichita friends hope her a peasant trip. "A Mighty Rocky Road I Have Traveling" must certainly have been inspired after its composer had traveled over some road in little better shape than Main street and Douglas avenue in Wichita. The road had to be in better shape or the writer would not have recovered sufficiently from the jolts to have written his song. And yet we are told that Wichita has a 'progressive' (?) city administration.

Yellow Fever Still Exists in Vickhure Yellow Fever Still Exists in Vickburg and Help is Badly Needed. Vicksburg, with 22,000 people, about 12,000 of whom are colored, and most of this number belong to the working class, is locked up in a quarantine. Large numbers of her colored population are engaged in domestic service, and a still larger numebr depend for a livelihood upon work on farms in the vicinity of this city. For fifteen days this city has been and for the next forty days certainly will be surrounded by quarantine guards who allow no one to pass out. The only way to get out of the city now is on a through train with a ticket as far north as Chicago. The attempt to stop at any Mississippi point would, in many instances, mean death. The large numbers of the people who employ servants left some time ago. Many of the enterprises have had to shut down on account of the fact that the people who are engaged in running them have left the city. The cotton fields in which these laborers usually make their living in the fall and winter are waiting for them, but it is death to attempt to get out to them. A very serious situation confronts more than one-half of the laboring classes in the city and its environments. Local effort has been largely taxed in employing them to clean up, oil and fumigate, and little or nothing can be expected, except from abroad. The cotton upon which all life depends cannot be harvested or brought to market and thus one calamity has brought another. We appeal to you to do what you can to assist these unfortunates. The members of the committee named below, composed of representative men in all walks of life, including all the fraternities and denominations, give personal assurance that every cent contributed will be devoted to the relief of distress, and all contributions will be publicly acknowledged through the press of the country. Your contributions can be sent to Mr. H. L. Slaughter, who is the treasurer of the committee. Mr. Slaughter is cashier of the Lincoln Savings Bank, the oldest establishment of its kind south of the Ohio river. Pay what you owe to the S arch light. Rev. S. M.

GRADGRIND'S GOOD ACTIONS Providence Enabled Him to Do Three in a Bunch. Gradgrind, hurrying from his office, was about to step into his automobile when a poor woman accosted him. "Oh, sir," she said, "will you lend me a dollar?" The millionaire's hard features did not soften. "What for?" he asked harshly. "To get my baby christened with,", "she answered, "My new baby, sir; and $1 is the fee." "Gradrard produced a $5 bill. "Here, take this," he said, "and bring the change to my office in an hour." The woman's wan face brightened, "How good you are," she said, "to trust me, sir." "There, there," said Gradgrind. "Don't betray my trust, that's all." And in his huge automobile he tore smoothly away. An hour later, sure enough, his $4 In change awaited him in his office. "My dear," said Gradgrind virtuously to his wife that night, "I did three good actions to-day." "What were they," Mrs. Gradgrind asked. "In the first place," said the plutocrat, "I was the instrument, through Providence, of helping a poor woman. In the second place I aided in adding a new member to our church. Thirdly, I got rid of a bad $5 bill." HIS EARS HAD DECEIVED HIM Examination Proved Boy's Mind Had Been Elsewhere. Lusty boyhood, as a usual thing, cares little for poetry and philosophy. But it does gaze longingly toward the college campus whereon it may disport its sturdy masculinity. To attain that devoutly wished end, a modicum of knowledge concerning writers and thinkers whom he regards with indifference bordering on contempt, is demanded of the high school boy. How deep that knowledge goes and how wide a difference in sense may be given by words very like in sound, was shown in a recent examination in English literature. One of the questions asked for the name of a poem by William Wordsworth, expressing a belief in a previous existence. That one of the boys taking the examination had been present in the schoolroom when the poem was discussed and that his ears, though not his mind, had been open was shown to the astounded teacher who in correcting the papers found that he had written, not "Intimations of Immortality," but what looked and sounded much like it, "Imstitations of Immorality." Tact in Reproof. Advice or reproof does more harm than good when it is so rudely or roughly given that it brings humiliation or indignation. If from your real affectionate regard for a relative you wish to point out to her or to him an error or correct a fault, do so as gently and as cautiously as you know how, and do not try to correct mistakes or point out shortcomings too often, says the Washington Star. Give your advice in private and always give less advice than sweet, complimentary speeches. A compliment is not less but more relished when it comes from a member of one's family than when it is a tribute won from a stranger, and these signs of appreciation that you give of some dear one's wit, wisdom or beauty are little home truths that are ever affectionately remembered and come ever like gentle dews to refresh the seeds of affection and loving kindness that are planted in your hearts.

A somewhat heated correspondence has taken place between the British War Office and the government of Australia because one of the Australian colonels who went with Gen.

He was a Harvard junior, and he knew his Latin and Greek. And she was a little simpleton who lived there by the creek; And he was hardcome, winning, and, though learned not otherwise, And she had hair of billowed gold and heaven's blue for eyes. He was spending his last vacation, and he stayed up there at the house. And he seemed to like the girl from the first, though she was shy as a mouse.

Frightened Him. The troubles of France over the Morrocan question recall the difficulty into which a French conjurer got at Fez in the time of the late sultan. He was wandering about the country, meeting with great success among the Moors, when the sultan heard of his skill and immediately sent for him to Fez. He was commanded to perform before the court and the trick which met with most success was that of the two pigeons. The conjurer produced a couple of pigeons, one white and the other black, and cutting off their heads, placed the head of the white pigeon on the neck of the black one and liberated the two birds, who flew about the sultan, who was much taken for two magnificent slaves, one white and the other black, and ordered the unhappy man to perform the trick on them. The conjurer knew that to refuse would mean his own death, but he was equal to the occasion. He declared that he could do the trick easily, but that the magic weapons he had with him were not strong enough for two such big men. He therefore asked leave to go and fetch the necessary tools, promising to return and perform the trick in a few days' time. As soon as he got to the coast he set sail for France and took particular care never to go near Morocco again NEAT TRICK CAUGHT THIEF. Clergyman Knew Effects of a Guilty Conscience. In the life of R. S. Hawker, the famous Vicar of Morwenstow, Mr. C. E. Byles relates the following: One day a laborer at Tamerton came to Hawker in great trouble, saying that a sack of potatoes had been stolen from his garden, and would his reverence kindly help him to discover the thief. It was Sunday, and they were on their way to morning service. "Well, well," said Hawker, "we will see about it after church." He was taking the sermon that day and he preached on the eighth commandment. "And now," he said, "I have a sad tale to tell. One of our neighbors has missed a sack of potatoes from his garden, and the thief is even now sitting among you. He has a feather on his head!" A man in the congregation was observed surreptitiously to put his hand to his head, and so the guilt was brought home.-London Tit-Bits. The Unselfish Woman. When all accounts are neatly balanced and the book about to be closed what will be the standing of the unselfish woman—not the unselfish woman of small letters, but the capitalized one is led to wonder if, after all, the crown of glory which she confidently expects will be adjusted upon her locks. One wonders if when unselfish mothers sit up at night training their daughters in ways of vanity and uselessness by sewing wearily upon things the girls should sew for themselves. One wonders if when unselfish wives trot patiently about picking up after careless husbands. One wonders it when unselfish sweethearts first tolerate the neglect or indifference of over-sure lovers, when unselfish friends train their acquaintances into expecting fag service from all the world. Unselfishness is a virtue, but a dangerous one to cultivate among persons to take favors as their dues, and to regard kindness as nothing out of the ordinary.—Exchange. Dennis Was the First One Up. About thirty years ago Dennis McCarthy was a well known character in and around Prévincetown, Mass. Although addicted to the juice of the grape, he was a favorite with every one. Some of his friends came together one day and decided to try and cure him of his bad habits. They got him when he was full seas, and a little more, over, and took him to a cemetery vault, where they locked him in, thinking he would be scared out of his drinking habit when he woke up. The next morning Dennis woke up, looked around him and saw all the dead, crossed himself and said: "Be jabers, 'tis the resurrection, and I'm the first one up." Made Him Jump. Rodrick—"So you went to see that nerve specialist? Did he test your nerves to see if you were nervous?" Van Albert—"He did, and I almost jumped out of the window." Redrick—"What kind of a test was it?" Van Albert—"Why, he crept up behind me and tooted an automobile horn when I wasn't looking." Not Looking for Profits. "Well, Mr. Bronson," said the minister. "I hope you derived great profit from the service this morning." "Sir," returned Bronson, inclined to be indignant. "I assure you I drop business on Sunday and attend church with no hope of profit." A Literary Distinction. "What is the difference between history and fiction?" "Well," answered the unbelieving person, "one great difference is that fiction frankly owns up to being largely untrue." Goes Back to Horses. A few months ago the town of Tunbridge Wells, England, adopted a motor omnibus service for its streets. Now it has sold the motor omnibuses and returned to horse vehicles. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed Medicines Have Stood Test of Time. "The leading proprietary medicines that have stood the test of time are of known therapeutic value," says a medical authority. "They are prepared in laboratories of the highest grade, under the care of skilled pharmacists, and they are made from approved formulas which, in many instances, have been the especial pride and specific of some successful physician. They have been tried in the crucible of public opinion and they have been found satisfactory by the people, for otherwise the people would discontinue using them."

Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep—Spend $100 on Doctors—Baby Grew for $5. "A scab formed on my baby's face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up and it became so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month's treatment with Cuticura Soap and Ointment made a complete cure. Doctors and medicines had cost over $100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Ave. Milwaukee, Wis." New Frescoes Found. Another valuable addition to Italy's treasures in medieval works of art has just been brought to light. In the old church of Cireggio, near Omegna, some internal repairs and structural cleaning are being carried out. Among the rest a thick coating of whitewash has been removed. Fortunately, with a view to possible discoveries underneath, this was done with care, with the result that there have been found six beautiful frescoes of the best period of Italian art. They are all by the eminent painter, Grandenzio Ferari. The color is said to be splendid. LOSS OF APPETITE Cold Sweats, Twitching Nerves and Weakness Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Nature punishes every infraction of her laws, and careless habits easily lead to the condition described by Mr. William Browne, of No. 1019 Lincoln street, St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Browne is an expert timer in the employ of the National Riscuit Co. He gives the following account of a trying experience: "In the spring of 1902," he says, "while I was regularly working at my trade, I grew somewhat careless in my habits of eating and drinking, and finally found that my appetite was fickle, a bad taste lingered in my mouth, my nerves twitched and were beyond my control, my kidneys were out of order and cold sweats would break out over my body at odd times. Perhaps, while I stood talking with some one, this trembling of the limbs, and profuse sweating, and a severe chill would seize me. I became alarmed at my condition and, having read an endorsement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I got a box and began to use them. They helped me at once. After I used one box the twitching of the nerves, the trouble with the stomach and the cold sweats stopped and have not reappeared, and my appetite is good. I have told all my friends that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I recommend them to everybody." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mr. Browne because nothing can strengthen the nerves except good rich red blood—and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They don't act on the bowels. They don't bother with mere symptoms. They drive from the blood the cause of anemia, indigestion, nervous disorders, general weakness and the troubles of growing girls and women. The pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or harmful drugs. Sold by all drugists, or by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

The Kind You Have Always Bought. Did you ever talk to a fair, sensible man that you did not feel ashamed of yourself? 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 grocer 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. Even when a man is sick you can know him well. It's the egotist who makes eyes at the girls. When a rich man talks about hard times it merely shows that he is getting used to prosperity. Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. The fellow who indulges in dry remarks isn't always hinting for drinks. WORKING WOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier—Interesting Statements by a Young Lady in Boston and One in Nashville, Tenn. Miss Frankie Orser Miss Pearl Ackers YOU NEED SUCH A TONIC Until Mull's Grape Tonic Was Brought to America, the Following Was Incurable. READ THESE STATISTICS—WE CAN VERIFY THEM: All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb, leucorrhoea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of "monthly periods," causing backache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. Women who stand on their feet all day are more susceptible to these troubles than others. They especially require an invigorating, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organiser. Miss F. Orsor of 14 Warrenton Street, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com YOU NEED S Until Mull's Grape to America, Was In READ THESE STATISTICS 90,000 people die yearly from the results of Constipation and Stomach Troubles and their attending lills. Nine in every ten have it. Many don't know it, and a good many who do know it neglect it unknowingly. It is incurable, and then they resort to the physic or pill habit, where the real trouble begins. You and I know that Pills and Physic make us worse, we become a slave to them, and finally they lose their power and paralysis of the intestines occurs, and then slow death. Now Constipation and Stomach Troubles are as any other disease; we have proved this fully by curing over 10,000 the last two years. Many of these cases are caused in which all other remedies and doctors had failed and hope dispaired of, but our treatment cure them quickly and Mr. Thompson, of Peoria, who had suffered all his life and had given up hope, was cured by 24 bottles. Dr. Dill, of St. Louis, whose health had been broken down, claims that several bottles cured him, that it is a splendid medicine for his health, and that the Grape Tonic he ever saw. Dr. Dredrick, of Kansas City, who had constipation so badly that he vergued upon nervous collapse, says to his great surprise after trying everything else was cured by Mull's Grape Tonic, he says it is the best thing for Stomach and Bowels and kindred lilies, that has come to his attention after trying everything else was cured by Chicago, who was a confirmed invalid for years, after taking a thorough course of Mull's Grape Tonic says she was able to leave her bed after the third bottle, and is now enjoying good health. She had tried everything that came to her notice. Mr. Crowd of St. Louis was a patient for 35 years which he contracted during the Civil War. He said he never could get anything that even afforded him relief, but that a short treatment of Mull's Grape Tonic completely cured him. He recommended it to old soldiers so many of whom suffer with the same complaint. Mr. McCurdy of Troy, Ohio was one of the first to receive the Grape Tonic for our attention. There apparently wasn't an organ of his body free from disease: Liver Trouble, Stomach and Kidney Trouble, terrible piles that kept him in agony. FADELE other dye. One 10c package colors all fibers.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE SEARCHLIGHT SUPPLEMENT TO THE SEARCHLIGHT Wichita, Kansas, Saturday Oct 7. 05 An American has duped some British girls. He was trying to get even with a few dukes. A New York girl had her brain cut out, and nobody noticed any difference—in New York. Get-rich-quick schemes ensnare their thousands; get-married-quick their tens of thousands. Marshall Field justly says that it is haed to stand prosperity. But every one is willing to try to stand it. Lord Curzon, no doubt, hesitated long before condemning India to barbarism by resigning as its viceroy. Newport's millionaires are naturally aggrieved at having to pay taxes. They need the money for monkey dinners. Gold is reported to have been found in Ireland. And, sure, why not? Don't we always see an emerald in a gold setting? Is Judge Steinert's sentence that a woman be exiled from New York city to be regarded in the light of a punishment? Men are not good judges of millinery or they would know that the feature of alluring beauty in a $150 hat is its price tag. As they are Philadelphia men, there is no mystery about how that girl married twelve of them. She caught them napping. Now that the war is over, we may admit that it has taught many of us a good deal of geography—American as well as Asiatic. In order to convince the world that there is no truth in the story that his feet had been amputated, Mark Twain has got the gout. It is as natural for a girl to make herself pretty as it is for a bee to gather honey. Who would stop either in so sweet an occupation? It is hardly possible that there is a shortage of chorus girls. There are chorus girls in plenty. There is only a shortage of girls who can sing. The family of our northern sister is growing. This time it's twins, and Saskatchewan and Alberta are lusty youngsters of which Canada is proud. With commendable foresight the envoys used several pens in signing the treaty, so that the great demand for souvenirs will be to some extent supplied. The Houston (Tex.) council has officially declared that "goo-goo" eyes—if made by men are a misdemeanor, girls are not mentioned. They make their own law. When manufacturers get to selling automobiles for $400 apiece next year, as they are now planning to do, the millionaires will give theirs away and go in for airships. A girl in New York state faints whenever the band of her village begins to play. Is this the press agent's way of advertising "the most extreme limit" in conducting? It is only fair to Mr. Morgan to explain that the portion of the earth now known as the moon got away before the title to this planet had passed into his possession. Now that the experimenters have sent a kite up more than two and a half miles in the air, it is obvious that anything that is knocked higher than a kite must go up pretty high. A woman cashier in a Chicago restaurant put two holdup men to flight recently by throwing cigar boxes at them. The name of the brand is not given, but the cigars must have been fierce. Charles R. Flint, just back from Russia, says that the czar is a man of high intelligence and strength of character and that the grand dukes are all right. Mr. Flint must have got his contract. The telescope reveals the fact that the landscapes on Mars are subject to sudden and frequent changes of the most extensive character. Map making must be the most profitable employment on that planet. Capt. Sir Ernest Cochrane of Dublin and Belfast promptly denies that he has any design whatever on the America cup. He must have been reading the papers since Sir Thomas Lipton started out to "lift" it. Mr. Rockefeller said to the humorists who visited him: "I am one of you now." and wore proudly a badge they gave him. It'll, he should not compete with them by sending jokes to the comic papers even "at space rates." A Brooklyn justice has sentenced a man to talk to his wife two hours every Sunday. That means that the wife must keep quiet two hours. Evidently somebody is about to suffer a cruel and unusual punishment contrary to the constitution. Guess who. GOOD ANTIDOTE FOR EPIDEMIC. Public Amusements Take Men's Mind From: Reilly "In this yellow fever scare," said a New Orleans man, "our people couldn't do better than to take a pattern from the Emperor of China." "The Emperor of China?" "Yes. For that man, when an epidemic appears in any providence of his kingdom, makes all the theatres of the province free, and requires the inhabitants under pain of death, to go to some place of amusement at least once a day. "Furthermore, he gives free exhibitions of fireworks every evening, and at these exhibitions attendance is compulsory. "What is the result? From early morning till late at night the people, streaming in and out of the free shows, or blinking and grasping under the fireworks' splendor, have minds occupied and tranquil don't worry over the epidemic that is scourging them—and hence keep almost immune. "Oor people, in the face of a great contagion, ought to be made to keep continuously amused, like the Chinese. Then through weakness brought on by worry they wouldn't lay themselves open to the disease, and through fear they wouldn't fall to fighting and rioting over questions of quarantine." PROVED TRUTH OF OLD ADAGE. Thirteen at Table Certainly Proved Unlucky for Some. "Ever sat down thirteen to table?" inquired the man with the salmon-pink tie. "Once," said the man with the white mustache. "Well, you never observed any bad luck follow it, did you?" "I'll bet he did," growled the man who believes in these things. "Weil," said the white mustache, "it was a trifle unlucky for most of 'em." "Any of 'em die?" asked the man who believed. "Not enough grub to go round?" sneered the salmon-pink tie. "There were no victuals," said the white mustache softly. "It took place in a lawyer's office; it was a meeting of creditors; there were twelve besides myself sat down to table." There was a long pause, and then the salmon-pink tie spoke again. "In what way did the meeting prove unlucky, may I ask?" "Poor creatures," sighed the white mustache, "they never got a penny out of me. I was the bankrupt."—London Answers. Breaking it Gently. In a certain Danish province noted for its superior breed of cattle, the country people are not only very thrifty, but exceedingly fond of their cows, as may be gathered from the following characteristic story which has recently been told: Farmer Jan was walking sadly down the road one day, when the village pastor met him. "Why so sad, Farmer Jan?" said the pastor. "Ah! I have a very sad errand, pastor," replied Jan. "What is it?" "Farmer Henrik's cow is dead in my pasture, and I am on my way to tell him." "A hard task, Jan." "Indeed it is pastor, but I shall break it to him gently." "How will you do that?" "I shall tell him first that it is his mother that is dead, and then, having opened the way for the telling of sadder news, I shall say to him that it is not his mother, but the cow!" Doubtful About His Customers. Many years ago "Parson" Field preached in Weston, Mass., and one day when he stood in his doorway waiting for the village baker's wagon, of which one John Macomber was the driver, he noticed that the horse had wandered into the graveyard, where he was quietly eating, while his driver gossiped with a neighbor. When John finally came along the parson said, "Well, John, I see you have a new route; do you find them good customers?" "Wall," said John, "I can't tell yet; yer see, there ain't none of um up yet." Destructive to Plant Lice. Fifty-eight persons competed to get the prize offered at Frankfort, Germany, for the best method of destroying plant lice. The winner's preparation is as follows: Quassia wood, two and one-half pounds, to be soaked over night in ten quarts of water and well boiled, then strained through a cloth and placed, with one hundred quarts of water, in a petroleum barrel, with five pounds of soft soap.

BIG STRIKE IN BERLIN; TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS NOW IN SESSION IN PARIS IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN BUDAPEST SITUATION PUNISH WIFE BEATERS. Glives Uttom Sentence to Men Con- victed of cruelty to Their Wives. New York, Oct. 5.—Frank McDonald, convicted of beating his wife, was sentenced by the court of special sessions to one year at hard labor in the county penitentiary and to pay $500, the extreme penalty under the law. James Cumisky, for knocking down his wife was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. The court announced that hereafter wife beaters must expect the utmost punishment permitted by the law and that intoxication would not be accepted as a plea in mitigation. BLEW UP EXPRESS CAR. Hundreds of Shots Exchanged Between Robbers and Crew. Seattle, Oct. 4. — The east bound Great Northern passenger train leaving Seattle at 8 o'clock at night was held up by a gang of bandits ten miles out from this city. Hundreds of shots were exchanged between the train crew and the robbers and the express car was blown to pieces by three charges of dynamite. Sheriff Smith is organizing a posse to go to the scene. No word as to whether anyone was killed has been received. BIG STRIKE IN 38,000 Berlin, Oct. 5.—The electrical workers strike shows no signs at any point of a settlement being reached. The strike extended to two more factories and the total number of men now out is 38,000. No disturbances have occurred. Enough men have been obtained to supply a current sufficient to keep two-thirds of the street cars moving. Several members of the strike committee went to Mayor Kirschner to ask him to mediate between the men and their employers. The mayor said he would do so only on condition that the committee write and officially request him to act as mediator. Later, however, the committee took the matter under advisement and voted against invoking the intervention of the mayor. The strikers held 25 meetings in the city and suburbs. The speakers generally adopted a confident tone and predicted success of the strike within two or three weeks. A meeting of the Berlin electrical workers, however, showed a less confident tone. That group of strikers is depressed because TUBERCULOSIS NOW IN SE Paris, Oct. 4. — The international tuberculosis congress was opened at the Grand Palace in the president Loubet, the cabinet ministers and the ambassadors. Over 3,500 delegates were present. American delegation consists of Dr. Henry Darton Jacobs of Baltimore; Dr. S. A. Knopf of New York; Dr. Lawrence of Philadelphia, York; Dr. Lawrence of Philadelphia, and Medical Inspector Henry G. E. Boyer, who represents the United States navy. Many other Americans representing societies including Dr. Arnold C. Klebs of Chicago, Dr. John S. Lowman of Cleveland; Wm. Isler Regius, professor of medicine at Oxford, and Dr. A. J. Magnin and Dr. Uppert Norton of Paris were present. The opening address was delivered IMPORTANT DEVE IN BUDAF Budapest, Oct. 4.—The idea is current that the political crisis in undergoing an important development. Minister Kristoffy, who originated the plan to defeat the coalition by the introduction of measures for universal suffrage, has gone to Vienna with Premier Ferjervary and Minister of Justice Lanyi for an audience of the king-emperor and this has given rise to a report that his majesty is ready to abandon his resistance to suffrage reform Nothing definite, however, can be known until after the audience. The coalition party is also making a new move. Francis Kossuth, who until now has only been president of the independence party, will be elected as president of the parties forming the opposition in the diet and the opposition will publish a strong protest against the Viennese attitude toward Hungary. At a conference of the Liberal party a resolution was adopted on the motion of Count Stephen Tissa, former Minister Presents Credentials. Bucharest, Roumania, Oct. 5.—John W. Biddle of Minnesota, minister to Roumania and Servia, presented his credentials to King Charles at the palace. The new minister was received with the customary ceremonial. Fresh Disturbances Break Out. Bruenn, Austria, Oct. 5.—Fresh disturbances between the Germans and the Czechs broke out. Gendarmes fired on the crowd, wounding one person, whereupon the mob wrecked a number of shops. TRIED TO DROWN PALMA. Wedges Driven Into Bridge to Throw His Car Into Water. New York, Oct. 4.—An attempt to assassinate President' Palma by drowning has been made, according to a cable dispatch to the Herald. Inquiries as to why the president was not using his special car to travel to and from Havana as has been his custom, elicited the information that recently wedges had been found driven into a bridge over which he passed, the wedges being so arranged that had his car struck them at anything near its usual speed it would have been thrown into the water with him. Fortunately, however, the car was running slowly and passed over the obstructions in safety. To Appear in Court. Madison, Wis., Oct. 3.—The mayor, city clerk and the entire council were cited to appear in court to show cause why the license of a saloonkeeper convicted of law breaking was not revoked. Steamer Sunk in Collision. Helsingfors, Finland, Oct. 3. — The Swedish steamers Njord and Robert collided Saturday evening near Hveen island, in the sound. The Robert sank. Twenty persons were drowned. BERLIN; MEN NOW OUT their leaving work has not caused a suspension of street car traffic or electric lighting. The employees of this company are only partly out. All of the men at the plant continue at work at one power station inside the city, and at the other stations many are working. Owing to the large force of reserved firemen and engineers, which was held in readiness for an emergency, the strike in this concern seems fore-doomed to failure. Herr Van Schulz, president of the government bureau of arbitration, in an interview said he tried to persuade a locked-out men of three of the companies to accept the terms offered them, since they had a weak case and would be unable to stand a long strike. A largely attended meeting of the motormen and conductors employed by the Berlin Street Railway Company held voted to demand an increase of 15 per cent in wages and a working day of ten hours. In the speeches threats were openly made that a strike would be declared unless the demand should be granted. Resolutions of sympathy with the electrical workers' strike were adopted. CONGRESS SSION IN PARIS by Dr. Herald of the French academy of medicine, who was chosen president of the congress. The report of Dr. Letulle, the secretary, said that thirty-three nations, representing the entire civilized globe had united to consider the most effective means of combating the worst human malady. The congress is divided into four sections, namely—scientific, social, industrial and historic. Dr. Henry G. Boyer made the preliminary report in behalf of the American delegates. President Loubet visited the corridors of the Grand Palace, where were erected models of hospitals and typical sanitary and unsanitary dwellings. Models of the most recent devices for treating tuberculosis were also exhibited. The congress will continue five days. VELOPMENTS TEST SITUATION premier, requesting the government to explain the reason for the intervention of Count Coluchowski, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister and of Baron Von Frankenthurn, the Austrian premier, in the question of electoral reforms of Hungary, because such intervention violated the independence of Hungary, and declaring that if the government should not make a satisfactory statement a protest would be addressed to the government. The resolution says: "While the king emperor is perfectly entitled to express his views to any personage, he may entrust with the formation of a cabinet, the publication of such is distinctly opposed to the constitutional idea, inasmuch as doubtful criticisms impair the constitutional irremovability of the sovereign." In conclusion the resolution declared that any revision of the Ausgleich at the present time would be dangerous, as tending to precipate a crisis. Many People Homeless. Naples, Oct. 3.—Three weeks have elapsed since the earthquakes around Calabria, but the amount of damage done has not yet been fully ascertained. It is known, however, that more than 150,000 people are homeless. Movement Is Growing. Vienna, Oct. 3.—Contrary to semi-official assurances, the insurrectionary movement in the Bazar districts of Asiatic Turkey is growing, and the Servian population is mutinying against the Turkish authorities.

The Russ Company, South Send, Ind. A DARING DUKE. Has Been in Various Automobile Accidents The Duke of Abruzzi is clearly of the opinion that the old proverb: "He who is born to be hanged will never be drowned" is correct in theory if not in literal application. The duke has been flirting with death ever since he attained his majority and apparently bears a charmed life, since he has suffered no ill effects from his various daring adventures. He has been in various automobile accidents, in the most serious of which he was thrown thirty feet over a hedge and yet was not even seriously injured. He has indulged a fad for Arctic exploration, being compelled to abandon his ship, which was caught in the ice pack off Prince' Rudolph island. He has made innumerable ascents in a balloon, is noted as one of the most daring Alpine climbers in Europe and he now proposes, tempting fate by hunting big game in Central Africa. History says a man's sins will find him out; but men continue to bet that they won't. Cured Her Rheumatism. Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 2d.—(Special.)—There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other children do. Mr. Whipkey says: "I am indeed thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; they saved her from being a cripple perhaps for life." Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right. It is said no woman ever admired a man after seeing him asleep with his mouth open. W.L. DOUGLAS SHOES ALL PRICES BEST IN THE WORLD ALL STYLES THE WORLD'S GREATEST SHOP OF SOLE AGENTS W.L.
