THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. SEVENTH YAER. President Roosevelt's address to the moved people at Jacksonville,Fla., on recent Southern trip should be briefed by every colored man in city. The President's address was twenty miles in delivery. Never yet has a address been delivered in Jack-pee to which there has been given attention. The peculiar earnestness in manner in the President, on which there have been so many combs his accentuation of words near nose of a sentence, rivet the emas of his words as one will scarce notice in any other speaker now before the public. His address was brimful of sound, practical sense, about things to which people everyone must give heed, or make many efforts in trying to live. He greeted Sound Army Post of veterans, callum his comrades and paid the tribute to the regiment of collarrymen that were with him antiquo, Cuba. His exortations to be useful, intelligent and frugal made with that broadness that itizes all of his sayings. He mentored the academy, and was he could not hear some of its work as well as its singing he liked so well, even the cam- ssing. The President said: THE ADDRESS. Friends:—"Let me say what a life it has been in driving along streets to have the Governor and major point out to me house after owned by colored citizens who, their own industry, energy and had accumulated a small fortunately and were spending it very good American must be ined in seeing every other good citizen rise, help himself up as to be better able to do his by himself and those dependent him and by the State at large. seems to me that it is true of all that our duties are even more important than our rights. If we do duties faithfully in spite of the duties that come, then sooner or the rights will take care of them. What I say to this body of my fellowcitizens is just exactly what I would say to any body of my fellowcitizens. What we need in this country is led by what I have shown today as being done by the people of prince. We need education ,moral- industry; we need intelligence, our living, and the power to work and effectually. "No man interested as every President must be in the welfare of all his fellow-Americans could be otherwise than deeply pleased, not only at the evidence of thrift and prosperity among what must be evidently many hundreds of your number here in this city, as shown by the homes that I have seen, but interested also in seeing an educational institute like, this carried on as this institute evidently is carried on. The costliest crop for any community is thec rop of ignorance. It is perfectly true that education in mind alone won't make a good citizen, but it is equally true that you cannot get the best citizens without education. "We need to have our people of every race educated as the principal said in his words of introduction, in heart, mind and hands; educated so that heads and hands can do their several tasks and have behind head and hand, also the heart, the conscience, the sense of clean and just living, which makes the foundation of all good citizens. That is juust as true for the white man as for the colored man. "It is true of every man. I was very glad to liten to the singing today. I like it all, including the last song. I wish I could have had a chance to listen to some of your educational exercises. I want to say a special word of acknowledgement to the school teachers men and women alike, who are doing the work of education; and in saying that word I want to point out that it is absolutely essential that we should have people do well in the professions, but that there is onlya a limited amount of room for men in agriculture and in the mechanical trades. "Do your very best to develop good teachers, to develop good preachers; preachers who shall preach to the colored man as it should be preached to the white man, that by your fruits you shall know them, and that the truly religious man is the man who is decent and clean in his private life, who is orderly and law-abiding; the man who hunts down the criminal and does all he can to stop crime and wrongdoing; the man who treats his neighbor well; who is a good man in his own family, and therefore a good man in the state. "That is what we have a right to expect from the Christian leadership which wes ee in the churches. All honor to the teacher, all honor to the preacher; but remember it is perfectly impossible that the bulk of any people shall be teachers or preachers. "The bulk have got to be men engaged in the trades as mechanics, as wage-workers, as farmers. Every man who is a good farmer, a thrifty, progressive, saving mechanic, who owns his own house, which is free from debt; who is bringing up his children well and keeping his wife as she should be kept, is not only a first-class citizen, but is doing a mighty good work in helping to uplift his race." As the President was retiring from the stand a magnificent basket of cut flowers was handed to him by Miss S. A. Blocker, principal of the Normal department of the academy. The occasion is a lifetime's recollection for all who were there. All loudly vote Councilman Wetmore the honors for his success in preventing the absolute non-participation of the Afro-American citizens in doing honor to President Roosevelt; and there are other reasons to believe the President most richly enjoyed the manner in which he was entertained by the colored citizens, aside from knowing that these ardent souls were not giving a "Crow" feast. CRIMINOLOGY Complaint is now being heard through the daily press concerning Negro criminology and the filling of the jails of the Commonwealth by youthful Negro criminals. This is true. It is deplorable, and we would correct it if we could. We will ever be slow to offer apology of any kind for lawlessness and a disregard of the laws of the Commonwealth, but we do not think we are wrong when we say that the great discrepancy in the South between black and white criminology is due wholly to the discrimination between justice—white and black. An examination of the criminal record of Virginia will show that a black boy is convicted of a crime which, if he were a white boy and accused, he would be acquitted. White women overtaken red-handed in theft are kleptomaniacs, while black women are common thieves. A black boy accused of crime, which cannot be proven, and of which he cannot be convicted is required to give security for his good behavior—a drag-net which takes him to jail, while a white boy would be acquitted. Such is the condition of affairs that exist in Virginia. It is this which is filling the jails and penitentiary with youthful Negro criminals. If justice be even-handed—if there be not a white and a black justice—if the black boy accused of crime is given the same consideration as the white boy, the percentage of criminology will be less in the black race as compared with the white race—Reformer. JUST A WORD. Just a word. Don't you think that a newspaper that goes to the trouble and expense of publishing so much of the news of the colored people free of all cost to them, except the little subscription price, that the people ought to bring jog printing to the office of that paper, that it may still live as a first-class race paper? Did you ever see a paper so close to its people? Think about this and report as its suits you. Remember, that when you get your printing done at the Searchlight office you get local notices free of cost to you.

Thanksgiving being a festival time, offers a special opportunity for the favor designs. And the shops teem with novelties suggestive of the day and its time-honored manner of observance. This being the football season the hero of the gridiron and his famous leather sphere serve also as models for favors and decorative adjuncts and these mementos are found side by side with the distinctively Thanksgiving souvenirs and share popularity with the latter. Most of the souvenirs are inexpensive, but the hostess who feels inclined to spend a good round sum on a certain centerpiece or a collection of small favors can find plenty of excuse for so doing in this season's collection. For instance, she might select the football centerpiece pictured above with a mass of chrysanthemums rising from the center. The flowers are realistically fashioned from crepe Russian history during the last 20 or 30 years would not have been what it has been if there had been no Vera Sassulitch, of whom nothing is heard in these days. When the famous Gen. Trepoff was only at the beginning of his career she was his invaluable assistant. Trepoff was the detested enemy of the Nihilists, and he was very anxious to obtain inside information as to their doings and their plans. Suddenly, one day in 1878, he was fired at while driving through the streets of St. Petersburg by no other than Vera Sassulitch. She was at once seized by the soldiery, and was charged with the attempted murder of Trepoff, being tried in the ordinary manner; but, to the amazement of the public, she was acquitted! On her release the Nihilists gathered about her, desiring to admit such a friend of the people to their closest acquaintance. In this way she was admitted to all their private circles and was made acquainted with their secrets. These she at once communicated to the Russian government. The truth was that the whole business, including the attempt on his life, was faked by Trepoff himself, and it was simply a clever ruse to get from the Nihilists what could not be got in any other way. Thereafter Vera Sassulitch played the part of government spy on innumerable occasions. There succeeded her as the Czar's chief spy one Emina Beilomo, who became the Countess della Torre. She was a woman of great mental ability paper and all the hues of the natural blossom are reproduced. Then there is the candy box, with its top of chrysanthemum petals, colored in the various college tints and appropriately lettered or the football in leather hue, and the box on which is mounted a papier mache collegian, togged in full regalia and grasping a football. Useful for candy or ices are the realistic receptacles in the shape of a plum pudding, turkey or squash, which do not rank among the high priced souvenirs. A place card simulating a wishbone is an apt suggestion. And so, too, the dinner favor in football form. The accompanying illustration gives an idea of the newest and best of the Thanksgiving novelties which represent a range within the reach of the possessors of slim or well-filled purses. Of a more permanent character as Thanksgiving souvenirs are the turkey set of Wedgewood ware, and the cut glass vase in the shape of a horn of plenty. The latter would serve equally well for fruit or flowers and the turkey set consists of a platter and six plates, which may be had for a moderate sum considering the quality of the ware. From the very best table linen and silver, which must be brought forth and its cleanliness duly inspected, down to the place cards and center decoration, all must be attended to. To the woman who has deft fingers or skill with the paint brush for original work, while the shops are replete with novelties. Place cards are to be had this year in the shape of miniature pigs, others and boundless ambition, and when her husband died she offered her services as special secret agent to the Czar, and soon became indispensable to the Russian court. Whenever a document had to be secured she secured it, and she allowed nothing, not even a life, to stand in her way. By one remarkable and dramatic coup early in her career she obtained the unbounded confidence of the Czar. Information had been received by the Russian secret police that a plot against the monarch was being hatched conjointly in Rome and Paris. It was suspected that the plot was to be carried out through the instrumentality of a high official of the Czar's household, but all efforts to identify him failed. Thereupon this woman spy was put on the scent, and she at once went to Rome, where she ingratiated herself with the Nihilists, and at last found out the name she wanted. She returned in haste to St. Petersburg and informed the Czar of what she had discovered; but he refused to believe her, as the man named was one of his closest attendants and most intimate friends. "Then," exclaimed the countess, "I must prove to your majesty that what I tell you is true. In half an hour I must crave permission to see you again." When she left the Czar she at once sought out the officer in question, and handed over to him a package of papers, impressing upon him that on no account must be allow them to leave NO. 34 Favors National Holiday. FOOTBALL HERA CANDY BOX TURKEY PAYER CASE FOR ICES SQUASH CANDY BOX PLACE CARD LINE A JOUSH DONE DINNER FAVOR are turkeys and geese. Some of these are hand painted, while as silhouettes they are very effective against a white cloth, and may be readily manufactured at home. To make some laughter, it is an excellent idea to take the initials of each person's name, and with these as initial letters write a phrase descriptive of the person who is to occupy that place. Thus, a man's initials are E. M., and as his hobby is well known to his teasing hostess, he finds a card on which is written "Everlasting Music." A girl's initials may be, for instance, A. L. F., and amid much laughter she is forced to accept a place marked "Arrant Little Flirt," and so on all around the table until each person finds or is assisted in finding his or her place. Another method of initial treatment is to write verses (if the hostess is poetical), each line commencing with one initial of the victim's name. A pretty idea is for each guest to write a Thanksgiving sentiment or a cause for thankfulness on a slip of paper. These are collected in a bowl and drawn forth and read one at a time, while every one tries to discover the author. For the center of the table a basket woven from wheat stalks and filled with fruit is most effective. Yellow and red are pre-eminently the colors for a Thanksgiving table, and the gorgeous chrysanthemums of either color, with candle shades to correspond, make a magnificent display, especially when yellow chiffon ribbon entwined with smilax or asparagus forms part of the table decoration. his person. "Keep them with you," she said. "On your noble person they are safe; in my hiding-place they may be found." Her fascinations were too much for the officer, and he agreed. She then returned to the Czar and at once said to him: "I beg that your majesty will now at once summon this gentleman to your presence, and that you observe closely the count's department and features when he sees me at your side." A few minutes later the officer entered the apartment, and when he saw the countess with the Czar he realized the state of affairs and turned pale with terror. "It is as I informed your majesty," said the countess. "If you will search him you will find the proof." It was found in one of his riding boots. The Czar ordered that he should be exiled to Siberia for life, but there was a general impression that he was murdered in his cell. The Polite Child A Roslyn man was praising Clarence H. Mackay's little daughter Katherine, who has been enrolled as a pupil in the Roslyn public school, of which Mrs. Mackay is a director. "I went to see Mrs. Mackay one day on school business," he said, "and as I was taking leave her little girl, who was playing in the hall, rose politely and opened the door for me. "I was very much pleased with this attention. "Thank you,' I said. 'I am sorry to give you so much trouble.' "Oh,' she answered, I am only sorry I am not letting you in.'"

Hock, Prop. 242 North Water St. FOUND "TIP" POTENT TICKET NOT ABSOLUTELY NE CESSARY ON SIBERIAN TRAIN. Conductor More Than Willing to Make Room for Belated Traveler for a Consideration—Made What Might Be Called "Easy Money." "My problem was to get away from Kurgan and out of Siberia," writes a British traveler who had been transacting business in the butter-making metropolis of that country. "My train left at 3 o'clock in the morning. When I arrived at the station the ticket office was closed, and no one seemed to know when it would be opened, or if it ever would be opened. "Ne znayou—" I don't know—and an indifferent shrug of the shoulders were the only answers I received. At length I bearded the station master in his den. The ticket office would not be opened, he told me. The train was full; there were no vacant places; I must wait till next day; there was a waiting room and a buffet! I was in despair. But suddenly an idea came to me. In St. Petersburg I had been told that the guard on a certain train had grown wealthy by the practice of letting people travel without tickets and accepting a small gratuity for his complaisance. I had heard much in theory of the potency of tips in Russia, and now I resolved to test that theory by practice. "By that time the train was standing at the platform and every one was busy. I got a porter to take my luggage on board and pack it in a corner of a dark passage. Then I sat down near it and waited events. Presently the train started, and I felt more at ease. In any case we were off. In about ten minutes the ticket collector, accompanied by the conductor, came round to inspect tickets. In Russia it always takes two officials to do one man's job. They did not seem nearly so surprised as I had expected. 'I have no ticket,' I said, and they both smiled knowingly. I explained the situation and added that I was willing to give something—l.a. chai' (a tip, literally 'for tea')—if they could make it all right for me. How far was I going? asked the collector. To Chelyabinsk. Then they left me, shaking their heads in conference. In a few minutes they returned. Would I follow them? "Nothing very dreadful happened. I was led through several second-class wagons crammed with sleepers. At last we came to a halt before a veritably vacant top berth. The conductor laid his hand upon it. 'You may sleep here,' he said, 'and later you may pay.' How came that berth to be so conveniently vacant? At various stations along the route I observed that our conductor seemed to have many friends and many quiet little conferences. It was between the intermediate and not at the terminal stations that his business was done. "Some stations before Chelyabinsk was reached the conductor beckoned me aside. It is now necessary to pay," he said. "How much? I asked. 'Three rubles' ($1.53), he replied. The legitimate fare was 6 rubles ($3.06). I gladly paid him the 3 rubles and when I added an extra ruble for his being so excellent a rogue he took off his cap and bowed to the ground." Prophecy. When I'm a multi-billionaire, As I shall be some day, I must like to hear hear Some things I have to say. The hatchet shall be buried then, And hushed all sounds of strife. While I instruct my fellow-men About the Higher Life. When all the streams are turned, that they May swell my tide of gold, I'll give my purest thought away— If they cannot be sold. I'll gather those who've learned through me. How fleet are riche's wings, And preach the solemn verity That there are higher things. When I have crushed my latest foe—Or quieted his claims— I'll tell him everything I know About the bigger aims. Yeah, and shall gain much joy through me. They surely shall be blessed; They'll have the joys of poverty And I shall have the rest. Thus peacefully I'll spend my days, Until I reach the end. In teaching that religion pays The bigger things to me. So shall my debt to men be paid In wisdom rich and rare— When there is nothing to be made And I'm a billionaire. —Errol North in New York Times. Our friend, Mr. M. E.

Burrill, New Hope Baptist church is coming to the front. They have this week finished paying $1,000 for their new church building, sold the old church for $900 and bought another lot adjoining their property on Rock Island avenue and wil soon close a contract with a house mover to move the church which they have bought to its new location—and they still have money on hand. This shows most extraordinary good work. CORNER STORE LAYING Rev. Burrill is now bustly engaged making preparations for the corner stone laying of the new foundation, which he has scheduled to take place on the third (3rd) Sunday in November. At this time Rev. Burrill will be assisted by Rev. E. Arlington Wilson of Kansas City, Kansas, Rev. John P. Richardson of Kansas City and the ministers of the other churches of this city and all the secret societies. This will be a most memorable occasion, long to be remembered in Wichita. Wichita is to raise money to furnish one of the newly-finished rooms at Western University.

Miss Florence Beard is planning to make a trip to Strong City Thanksgiving. Oran Rickman is on the sick list. The N. W. G. club met Monday afternoon with Mrs. Wm. Coleman.

Frank Flemmings, of Pratt, passed through the city Friday from Kansas City, where he had been on business. Miss Nellie and Florence were in from rPetty Prairie, Friday, shopping. Rev. Frank Ward, of Caldwell, is in our city looking after the interests of the colored church. Mrs. Sam Brazil is reported on the sick list. Little Miss Mandie Floyd is complaining of the sore throat. Mothers should be careful about diphtheria. John Floyd came home from Excelsior Springs, Mo., where he has been this summer. Ed Banks attended business in Wichita, Friday. Miss Aura Porter entertained a number of her friends, Friday. The young folks of this vicinity are preparing to have a fine time Thanksgiving. We again call the attention of the public to the fact that a little learning and a few hundred dollars are the cause of a number of our race going to the lunatic asylum. Not one Negro in ten can tell why a Negro, Irish, French, German, Italian, Jew or any other weekly paper is published. We have stated time and again that these papers are printed for the purpose of getting the news among that particular eople or race, and not for the general news of the world. eYt you will find a number of Negroes with their pockets full of white newspapers. Ask him about the news concerning his race, he can tell you absolutely nothing, and he knows less about the news of the world. This same Negro Thanksgiving -Excursion Rates= WATER SYSTEM ROCKISLAND NOVEMBER 29th and 30th. Limited December 4th. One and one-third fare for the round trip to all points where the one way is $6.00 or less. KINMAN. will say, "When I read a Negro paper, I see things in that paper that I read in the white papers." This at once shows his ignorance of Negro papers. We are confident that in every Negro paper that is published by Negro men, the editor tries to advance the news of the Negro race, and they do to a great extent. If the Negroes want to see the ill-doings of their race pointed out, let them read a white paper, and no good will they find for the Negro. Only some huge article that is printed for the purpose of obtaining Negro subscribers to that paper. Let the Negro of the United States support the own papers and they will get the news of all their race of people. —Ex. "Business is war," says a magazine writer, and Gen Sherman told us what war is. "Can a husband be cruel to his wife by too much kindness?" Well, few husbands are. The principal thing noticeable about women's attire this fall is its multifariousness. A Chicago pugilist is writing popular songs. Prize fighting is a fearfully demoralizing pursuit. We knew it would come soon day. Somebody wants photography taught in the public schools. Sergius Witte, after looking over New York City, declared it a "clearing house of undigested nationalities." Miss Susan P. Fowler of Vineland, N. J., has worn trousers for fifty ears, and expects to die with them on. As Rockefeller says, money is not the only thing in the world. There are mumps, measles and banana skins. People say they might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, but that only shows lack of discrimination in appetite. Kissing may be dangerous, as that doctor says, but you may have noticed that more people haven't died from it than have. Courts uphold a Buffalo man who put a rattrap in his trousers pocket and caught his wife. Dissenting opinion filed by wife. Diamonds have gone up again, but this is a hardship that isn't likely to bother the man whose last year's coal bill is still unpaid. No one need have any difficulty in identifying New York after this. It is the town that holds the world's baseball championship. The wages of sin remain the same as heretofore, but frequently the sinner has to wait a long time to get what is coming to him. An old man used a "want-ad." to get a wife and then he paid $50,000 to get rid of her. She will testify that "want ads." bring results. The latest report of the coming marriage of King Alfonso is semiofficially denied. When you get your invitation to the wedding you'll be sure. Harry Liberty is in jail at Burlington, Vt., charged with stealing a horse. Somehow the pun suggested by his name doesn't come out right. A woman is suing for divorce from her husband on the ground that he hasn't taken a bath for twenty-two years. Naturally she wants to duck him. Now that they have fixed up a raprochement between France and Germany the sultan of Morocco will swake to the fact that the drinks are on him. The "anesthetic highball" is likely to become popular, but many chronic sufferers will continue to take the highball without the anesthetic attachment. A Connecticut man went out to haul his lobster pots, and came back with a live deer. Here, here! Stop that!

Anthony Fuggy of Third avenue, was married to Miss Frances Buggy in police court yesterday morning by Judge Mahon. The Fuggys will reside in Third avenue. Anthony Fuggy, the bridegroom, is eighteen years old. Miss Buggy, the bride, is seventeen years old.—Elizabeth (N. J.) Tally Journal. He Sold and Left. A lawyer had a horse that always stopped and refused to cross a certain bridge leading out of the city. No shipping, no urging, would induce him to cross it, so he advertised him, "To he sold for no other reason than that the owner wants to get out of town."—Pittsburgh Press. Automatic Fire Alarm. An automatic fire alarm recently generated in England sounds an alarm in a hotel office twelve seconds after a fire starts in any of its rooms. The apparatus is simply an application of the fact that heat causes expansion, sufficient in this case to complete an electric circuit. Teaches Girls to Make Butter. Teaches Girls to Make Butter. There is a society in Norway which, in order to increase the output of butter for the British market, offers a month's course, with free board and tuition, to young country girls who wish to learn how to take care of cows and make the best butter. Lake to Furnish Power. Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, is to be tapped for electric power to run the Peruvian railways and to supply a surplus sufficient, it is believed, to enable Peru to take a prominent place among the manufacturing countries.

As near as the layman can make out from the elaborate account of the distinction made by the experts, the best way to tell the difference between a cyclone and a tornado is to look at the wreckage afterward.

Gold is on exhibition in the mining department, Melbourne, Australia, found in the New Chum mine, Bendigo, at a depth of 4,200 feet, the record depth of gold discovery. Elections in France. The president of France is elected for seven years, by a majority of votes of the senate and chamber of deputies, united in a national assembly or congress. Must Blame Something If a man misses a train he is trying to catch it is hard for him to make himself believe it isn't because he has to support a big family.—New York Press The Japanese method of preserving the salmon which are caught in large numbers at Sakhalin is to salt them down and press them into bales.

Disguised as Cats, Thieves Made Hauls Series of Remarkably Clever Tricks Played on Inhabitants of Polish Village—Old Circus Clown Leader of Band. The inhabitants of a suburb of Posen, in German Poland, have recently been the victims of a peculiarly artilg gang of burglaries. For several months past their nightly rest has been disturbed by what they very naturally conceived to be the nocturnal cries of the city's cats. Frequently, when the cats were at their loudest, a noise would be heard in the house. The noise was as a general rule attributed to the cats. It was noticed, however, that this outbreak of cats coincided with a great activity on the part of the burgling fraternity. Police superintendent Stocker, a more than commonly wide-awake, official, determined to probe the growing crop of midnight robberies.

On the third night he and his men each bagged a "cat" and when their furry prisoners were safely landed it was discovered that each animal was an able-bodied burglar dressed in a "make-up" that concealed all traces of his human origin. Habermayer, a broken-down acrobat and circus clown, who had formed this band of human cats, was among the captured. He confessed that he had taught his men their parts, and when charged, he gave vent to the most life-like series of caterwaulings, besides crowing like a cock and neighing like a horse. The good citizens of Posen now sleep peacefully again, for Habermayer and his gang of two-legged cats have been sentenced to several years' imprisonment. NOTICE. Knights and Daughters.

The common simile in which the various divisions of science are represented as branches of the tree of knowledge is a grotesque survival of a time when neither trees nor science were understood. No simile is perfect or even approximately correct, but one better than the tree and its branches for the origin and relationships of any inductive science is that of a river, rising from various and often obscure sources, growing in size and importance as it proceeds bo' from the springs within its own bed and by the entrance and contributions of tributary streams, and finally pouring its substance into the mighty ocean of accumulated human knowledge.—Liverpool (Eng.) Mercury. Mother Nature's Children. One of the most wonderful things: Mother Nature does is to teach her children how to accomplish things with means and appliances that seem entirely inadequate for the purpose, says St. Nicholas. A bird will build an intricate and beautiful nest with no better tool than her beak (birds do not use their claws for this purpose); a caterpillar can shape a symmetrical cocoon, and bees the sharp-angled cells of their combs. These are familiar instances of this, but by no means as wonderful as those shown in the work of some sea animals that live in shells. Secretary Shaw complains of the non-elasticity of our currency, and yet many a woman has to make a few dollars a week stretch to cover all the expenses of the family. Austria and Hungary may think twice before shattering the alliance when they hear this rumor that two powerful neighbors are already planning to pick up the pieces. The Keene Sentinel speaks of the time "when Mark Twain was a poor boatman on the Mississippi river"—but we had always understood that Mark was a good boatman. Boston has a suitcase mystery. But every man has a mystery of that kind in his own family when his wife starts to travel after packing into one suitcase the entire contents of a seven-room flat. It is not to be wondered at that the aged Emperor Franz Josef is finding it difficult to hold down two thrones. The way things are tending now, it's about all a king can do to hold down one throne. One of the eastern coal magnates says: "The consumer has been getting his coal too cheap." The magnate has probably discovered that the consumer could have paid a little more if his thumbs had been stretched harder. When the shah of Persia goes shopping during his visit to Europe he does not ask prices. "He points with his finger at the article he wants, and by that act buys it, whether the price be $10,000 or 10 cents." That has always been our dream. We got into an elevator the other day with an armless man and he ast us if we wouldn't be kind enough to hold his hat for him while some ladies was in the elevator. This here thing of being perilite is enough to drive a man to bromo selzer.—Hardeman Free Press.

The mystery surrounding the re lease from jail of Maxim Gorki, who was arrested in St. Petersburg as a revolutionist, is cleared.

Senator Dubois has been a resident of Idaho for twenty-six years, and during twenty of them has been fighting Mormonism, and is on the United States senate committee which has under advisement the case of Reed Smoot. Mr. Dubois says: "I believe that the senate will exclude Senator Smoot at this session. It will be a great victory for the anti-Mormon forces of our Western states. They need the encouragement, for it has been a bitter and relentless fight. That power of the Mormon church cannot be understood by the people who have not lived either in Utah or Idaho. They have clearly a third of the people, and to uproot them is difficult. The unseating of Smoot will be a long step forward." Swindled a Theater.

Replying to the charge that certain popular proprietary medicines contain narcotic drugs, an authority says: "Some years ago one of the leading pharmacists of America, in connection with some official work, undertook to ascertain, by an elaborate inquiry in representative cities of the country, what percentage' of physicians' prescriptions contained a narcotic drug of some kind. Out of 100,000 representative prescriptions, dispensed in drug stores in all parts of the United States, it was found that 70 per cent contained opium or some one of its preparations. "Proprietary medicines are almost invariably accompanied by the most detailed and specific directions for use, while the directions accompanying physicians' prescriptions are generally very brief and sometimes illegible. It is also true that but a moderate proportion of proprietary medicines contain any poison or narcotic, and, when they do, it is generally in such small quantities or so protected by accompanying antidotes, as to carry with it no danger whatever."

In addition, so many financial interests in this country and abroad are deeply interested in the banker's health and freedom from accident that a pool has been formed to protect him in every possible way.

Gelatt, Pa., Nov. 6th (Special)—Mrs. H. W. Sterns, a well respected resident of Gelatt, tells in convincing words, what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for her. She says: "I was a great sufferer from Rheumatism, caused through my Kidneys being out of order. I was subject to it for years. It would take me without warning, and while the attack lasted I was so lame I could not get around. So I had to send for Dodd's Kidney Pills. I took them for three days, but didn't feel much benefit, but on the fourth day I noticed a great change, the lameness in my back was gone, and the pains I used to suffer were less. I kept on with Dodd's Kidney Pills and now I am glad to say I have no lameness nor pain of any kind. I feel as if I didn't know what Rheumatism was. I shall never be without Dodd's Kidney Pills in the house, and I bless the day I first heard of them. _____ The coal dealer shouldn't expect his words to carry as much weight as his wagons.

Is Much Preferred to the Red Whisky Formerly Used. A Washington man who has just returned from a trip to Texas, and who had been in the habit of visiting that state in its lawless days, was much impressed by the law-abiding habits of present day Texans. Texas is as tame as New England. He asked the reason why. "One old citizen," he says, "with whom I talked told me the philosophy of the change. He said that it was due to the substitution of beer for whisky. Thirty years ago there wasn't a brewery in Texas, and but little lager beer imported. The men drank red liquor to excess then, and under its influence became wild and violent and ready to shoot at the drop of the hat. Nowadays, with beer the popular drink, the temper of the population has undergone a change and tragedies, once so frequent, are of rare occurrence." OLD FASHIONED FARE Hot Biscuits, Griddle-Cakes, Pies and Puddings. The food that made the fathers strong is sometimes unfit for the children under the new conditions that our changing civilization is constantly bringing in. One of Mr. Bryan's neighbors in the great state of Nebraska writes: "I was raised in the South, where hot biscuits, griddle-cakes, pies and puddings are eaten at almost every meal, and by the time I located in Nebraska I found myself a sufferer from indigestion and its attendant ills—distress and pains after meals, an almost constant headache, dull, heavy sleepiness by day and sleeplessness at night, loss of flesh, impaired memory, etc. etc. "I was rapidly becoming incapacitated for business, when a valued friend suggested a change in my diet, the abandonment of heavy, rich stuff and the use of Grape-Nuts food. I followed the good advice and shall always be thankful that I did so. "Whatever may be the experience of others, the beneficial effects of the change were apparent in my case almost immediately. My stomach, which had rejected other food for so long, took to Grape-Nuts most kindly; in a day or two my headache was gone, I began to sleep healthfully and before a week was out the scales showed that my lost weight was coming back. My memory was restored with the renewed vigor that I felt in body and mind. For three years now Grape-Nuts food has kept me in prime condition, and I propose it shall for the rest of my days. "And by the way, my 2½ year old baby is as fond of Grape-Nuts as I am, always insists on having it. It keeps her as healthy and hearty as they make them." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

Death Sentences Reduced to Fifteen Years Imprisonment — Returned Exiles Cannot Reside in St. Petersburg and Moscow. St. Petersburg, Nov. 7.—The text of the imperial manifesto granting amnesty to political prisoners signed by Emperor Nicholas declares that by virtue of the intention expressed in the manifesto of October 30 to accord the population inviolable principles of civil liberty, free pardon is granted to political criminals of various categories, which are enumerated, and also to participants in strikes and those responsible for breaking contracts. The pardon extends to those now in prison and to those not yet tried or on whom sentence has not been pronounced. Persons convicted of crimes committed more than ten years ago are to be released and will be sent to the Siberian colonies. Those who are now colonists there will be allowed four years to choose their place of residence, but are prohibited from living in the capitals, St. Petersburg and Moscow, for three years. Convicts not falling under these categories will see their sentences reduced by one-half, and persons condemned to imprisonment for life have their sentences reduced to fifteen years' imprisonment. The pardon extends to prisoners who benefited by previous manifestos. Persons arrested by imperial or administrative orders are released. "Those condemned to death or liable thereto have the penalty commuted to fifteen years' imprisonment at hard labor. The amnesty decree includes political offenses committed up to October 30th.

Janssen, President of the Milwaukee Retail Drug-gists' Association, Talks on the Dangers of Constipation and Stomach Trouble. "Have you noticed the large number of cases of typhoid fever laterally?" said Mr. J. S. Janssen to a Daily News representative. "To my notion typhoid fever, malaria, fever appendicitis and many kindred complaints are the result of constipation, which in many cases is allowed by the patient to run along without proper treatment. You will remember when you were sick with typhoid fever, malaria, fever appendicitis and description was a dose of castor oil! All physicians know the value of having the bowels thoroughly opened. People, when they grow up, allow constipation to become chronic through lack of attention. Constipation is the failure of the bowels to carry off the undigested food, which collects in the alimentary canal and there decays, generating poisonous matter. Constipation is into the blood by means of which they are carried to every tissue. The fever thus created affects not only the lungs, kidneys, stomach, heart and nervous system, but in fact any organ of the body is liable to break down as a result. The blood becomes thin and watery. The sufferer loses in flesh and strength. Castor oil and pills are used to treat constipation, but in fact more than a laxative is needed. There are many physies on the market and we sell a large store of the kind in the city. I do not often talk about manufactured medicine, but the high esteem in which Mull's Grape Tonic is held by the drug and medical fraternities has impressed the drug and medical fraternities with the ability to store that Mull's Grape Tonic cures constipation and stomach trouble positively and permanently. Mull's Grape Tonic is not a physic, but it immediately clears the bowels of the decaying food because of the peculiarly strengthening effect it exerts on the organs of the digestive system. As a tonic it is superior to the nauseating cod liver oil compounds. It builds flesh faster and creates strength quicker than the usual medicine. The ingredients are positively harmless, made mainly from crushed grapes and fruits. Although a full bottle might be taken at once, no inconvenience would result. I only wish that people paid more attention to these little details, which in themselves in the beginning are of so slight importance, but which should be included until the most serious trouble and somethings on the constitution. There is really nothing easier to take than Mull's Grape Tonic. I hope you, through the influence of your paper, can bring the readers to a sense of the gravity of allowing constipation to become chronic." WRITE FOR THIS FREE BOTTLE TO DAY.
