O. O. F. THE COLORED AMERICAN. That the colored man is an American citizen cannot be denied. That he is "Jim Crowed" and discriminated against are established facts. That he is a coward, physically and politically, and a cringing toady history undoubtedly records. The more he is rebuked and slighted by white Republicans, the closer he sticks to the party. Will he continue to be the slave and worm to a party that has discarded him? He declares he is a Negro, a colored man, or an Afro-American. He doesn't seem to know what he is, as the symposium in The New York Tribune of June 9th indicates. Some claim one thing and others claim something else. The opinion of The Bee is that he is a cowardly American citizen of African extraction. The greatest fault of some of the American citizens is, they are anxious to hide their identity. Many of them would be white if they could, and they are the only people who are ashamed of one another. The white man doesn't want them, and the more they are told so many of them insist on pushing themselves where they are not wanted. Some of them approach a white face with hat in hand or under their arm, while many others play the sycophant and humiliated slave. The editor of this paper is proud of his color and the great race with which he is identified. Color is only skin deep. Color without principles will not make a man or woman. A small white man in office, who has risen to popularity is as bad as a colored man who doesn't know the value or the importance of an office. Many colored men are under the false impression that office makes them leaders. Many a white man would be more useful in a factory than they would be in office.—The Bee. --- VERNON'S NAME THERE. Washington, D. C.—One of the most noteworthy incidents of the week was the issue of a new $10,000 gold certificate by the Bureau of Engraving and printing. The total issue amounted to $40,000,000, consisting of four thousand $10,000 bills.. The ordinary man has absolutely no conception of the magnitude of $40,000,000, and very few Negroes, with the possible exception of some of our colored editors, ever handled or saw a $10,000 bill. The most remarkable thing connected with the incident is that the signature of W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, appears on each of these $10,000 beauties, thus legalizing the issue. During the Spanish-American war a regiment of Southern troops refused to accept their pay from Paymaster John R. Lynch, because of his color, and a few were foolish enough to kick on bills bearing the signature of two Negro Registers of the Treasury, B. K. Bruce and J. W. Lyons, Some of these moss backs will never be able to even catch a glimpse of the new $10,000 "butes" bearing the signature of "W. T. Vernon, Register." For fear some reader of The Searchlight may be puzzled over the genuineness of one of these new $10,000 notes, we append the following description from an article in a recent issue of the Washington Post: "The picture represents a package containing the first of the department series of gold certificates of the $10,000 denomination, being numbered from 1 to 4,000 bearing Treasurer Treat's signature. In only four other instances has such vast wealth been gathered in such a small space under one cover. The issues of the large denominations are exceedingly rare. As the bills are used only in large transactions of banks among themselves, there is very little wear and tear on them as compared with that on bills of smaller denominations." "There are two varieties of $10,000 bills. The one is engraved only upon one side and must be signed by the assistant treasurer at the sub-treasury where it is issued. The reverse side is left blank for endorsements and the bills are known as "gold to order" certificates. "The $10,000 bills of the department issue, however, bear a slight resemblance to the $20 bills, and may be passed as currency without endorsement. On the face of the certificate is a picture of Andrew Jackson in addition to this description: 'This certifies that there have been deposited in the treasury of the United States ten thousand dollars in gold coin, repayable to the bearer on demand.' The fac-simile signature of Charles H. Treat as Treasurer, and W. T. Vernon as Register of the Treasury, apepar at the bottom. On the right of the reverse side is the picture of the American spread-eagle while at the left is a circular design bearing the figures '$10,000.' This side is printed in a yellowish brown tint.' Plain sewing, dressmaking; prices reasonable and satisfaction guaranteed. Youre patronage solicited, at the residence of Mrs. Mary Sherrills, 311 M. Murdock avenue. MRS. ROSIE L. POLLARD. Mr. Bassett is a Texan by birth, having been born November 7, 1870, in that state. He came to Kansas with his parents in 1880. Mr. Bassett has only had the chance of securing a thorough M. H. H. common school education, and this with his sound judgment has brought him to the realm of fame. He became a member of the Odd Fellows in 1891, and has been clerk of his lodge for fifteen years, the position he still holds; was clerk of the Baptist Sunday school for twelve years, which he resigned in November, 1905. Mr. Bassett was elected D. G. Master of Kansas of G. U. O. of O. F. at the session held in Wichita, Kansas, July, 1901, being reelected in Topeka, July, 1902. His two-year term was held with credit to himself and the District. At the last District session, held at Emporia, July, 1905, he was unanimously elected District Grand Secretary, which he is worthy of and most competently qualified to fill. For six years he was a delegate to the D. G. Lodge, and has always acquitted himself in a very creditable manner and has always done everything in his power to advance the progress of the Order. Mr. Bassett has displayed at all times remarkable political sagacity, but it is not only as a politician that he leads, but he is also a literary student. During Governor Stanley's first administration he held a responsible position during the session of the Legislature. During the same year he was nominated for County Coroner by the Republican County Convetion, but as eevry member of the Republican ticket with the exception of one was defeated by the Populists, Mr. Bassett was defeated. But it is a consolation to know that he led the entire ticket, and was defeated by on lyttwenty-one votes. Re-elected D. G. Secretary at Coffeville, July 18, 1906. HUSBANDS A woman who shall be nameless furnishes the following essay on husbands: "There are three kinds of husbands: The young husbands who make us unhappy because we are so jealous of them, the middle-aged husbands who break our hearts because they would rather make money or play golf than devote any attention to us, and the old husbands who sicgen us with their silly objections whenever we turn to look at younger men."—The Chicago Tribune Well, which of these three kinds have you?—St. Luke Herald. POTATO KING HOST OF KANSAS AGRICULTURALISTS. Julius G. Groves *on Advantages of Farm Life*—Himself an Example. Edwardsville, Kan.-Mr. Julius G. Groves, the black "White Potato King," was the host recently of the Sunflower State Agriculturalists, who held their first annual meeting in the beautiful park on his farm. The Groves are well represented in the association, as Mr. C. A. Groves is president and Miss Ida May Groves secretary. The Potato King made the opening address, during which he remarked: While we have no paved streets or six-story buildings, street cars or theatres, yet we have the green fields of potatoes, alfalfa, corn, our loaded orchards of fruits, and plenty of good, free air. We welcome you to this free soil owned by colored people for miles around. We welcome you to a place where you can get an idea of mak- Hon. W. W. Shobe, Salina, Kansas Grand Treasurer, G. U. O. O. F. ing a living out of the soil. Nothing pleases me more than to welcome you to these fields of growing crops. Brain and muscle thrive from working the soil. An orchard is a school of Nature—something to be learned all the time. If you would come from the city where it is congested into the country where you can be free and make a living, we would progress more rapidly. No people can be independent who cannot house, clothe and feed themselves. The teachers should visit the farms and learn what is needed to make people happy and prosperous. Not one of our prosperous farmers would have to visit a butcher shop or grocery before they could prepare a meal. One of the objects of this organization is to teach the girls not to put so much stress on white shirts and rubber collars, but on bank accounts and industrious young men. The sight of Mr. Groves' great farm is enough to tempt anybody to turn farmer. He has an individual railroad spur running down to his barns, and makes his own gas. He ships more white potatoes to market each year than any other farmer in the world. A NEGRO BOY AN INVENTOR. Harry Beauford, of 1320 Pacific street, Kansas City, Mo., a Negro boy, 17 years old, a pupil at the Garrison school, is the inventor of a motor roller skate, on which a patent was issued June 12. The skates are worn much as the ordinary roller skates and are propelled by a small gasoline motor located back of the heel, fed from a gasoline tank under the body of the skate. Beauford has been working on Hon. Chas. J. Williams, Kansas City, Kansas Grand Director, G. U. O. O, F. JOHN ELIAS, GROCERY MAN, COFFEYVILLE. Among the coming young men of Coffeyville, Kansas, is Mr. John Elias, proprietor of the Union Grocery Store, 617 Union avenue. Mr. Elias is a credit to the colored race and an honor to the community in which he lives. Starting out four years ago with a stock of goods valued less than $200.00 he has gradually climbed up the ladder until today he has a stock of goods valued at more than $1,800.00 and has them in a building which he owns himself. John Ellias is a native of Texas where he was born in 1879 and resided on a farm. He engaged in the grocery business in Coffeyville in 1902, and by energetic work he accumulated a good living and a paying business. He now owns property valued at more than $7,000.00 and is doing a thriving business. WHY EDITORS GET RICH (?) "A child is born in the neighborhood; the attending physician gets $10. The editor gives the loud-lunged youngster and the happy parents a send-off and gets $0. When it is christened the minister gets $10 and the editor gets $00. It grows up and marries. The editor publishes another long-winded, flowery article, and tells a dozen lies about the "beautiful and accomplished bride;" the minister gets $10 and a piece of cake and the editor gets $000. In the course of time it dies. The doctor gets from $25 to $100, the undertaker gets from $50 to $100; the editor publishes a notice of the death and an obituary two columns long, lodge and society resolutions, a lot of poetry and a free card of thanks, and gets $0000. No wonder so many editors get rich. PAGE 2 —_—_———_ "OREM + KANB, W..N. MILLER.................Editor Entered at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, as Second Class Mail Matter.

MUST SWALLOW IT. ~ ‘The school board of Wichita, com- posed of eleven republicans and ore democrat, is determined to make the colored people swallow its black rule and will set apart separate rooms, it seems, in three or four school build- ings for the use of the colored child- ren, Thus it is seen that the great ‘monster, race prejudice, Ras at last got a firm hold on Wichita and should this block rule be permitted to stand, Wichita will soon be the scene of race disturbances which has so disgrace- fully visited other section of the north, Hf the school board is so determined to separate ‘> race of child?en who have becu attending the schools so quietly and peacefully in the past, the school board will find that they make a serious mistake in setting apart rooms in the same buildings for the ees children as though the colored children were some wild and dangerous beasts—the board should and does know that this will only stir up_race ‘strife and engender additional race ‘hatred In the minds of both white and ise children, In our judgment, and this school board will find that tt would be far better to permit the ee to remain as they are until stich a time as the board would be fi- [nanctally able to give adequate, human ‘and proper care of the colored child~ ren who attend the public schools, "We are, In the first place, unutter- ably opposed to meddling with the present splendid school system of Wichita and we are doubly opposed to penning the colored children off in one corner of a building as though they ‘were some wild animals Just to please ‘a few men who nourish some fancy ‘hobby against the colored race. In the name of justice, fair-play and a square deal to the colored people who have stood so loyal to the republican party, we eall upon the republican par- ty of Sedgwick county to see that the colored children of Wichita regeive right and proper treatment and not be set upon as though they were beasts.

Watch Maneuvers at Fort Riley. — Lieutenant Colonel P. E. Hobbs will be one of the British army's attaches at the maneuver at Fort Riley next month. Notice to this effect was received at Fort Riley. Colonel Hobbs has been making an investigation of the packing houses in this country for the past month for the British government. Out to Pieces by the Cars—Henry A. Fowert a Kansas City Southern switchman, was run over and instantly killed at Pittsburg while at work in the Northeast yards. While Fowert was setting a switch a string of cars backed down upon him, and before he could get out of the way he was struck. He fell directly across the track and was literally cut to pieces. The body was taken to his former home at Chanute for burial. 5 Pumping Station Burns. — Fire of unknown origin badly damaged the pumping station of the municipal water works system at Burlington, but did not materially damage the pumps which were in a deep pit and were soon covered with water from a burst pipe. The boilers also escaped serious damage. The entire roof was burned off and the brick well damaged. The plant was able to resume operations. Prisoner No. 340 Tries Suicide. — Prisoner No. 340, whose name the authorities refuse to divulge, tried to commit suicide at the United States military prison at Leavenworth by hanging himself in an isolation cell, with a window sash cord. He was cut down by a guard before dead and resuscitated. Farmer Killed by, Lightning — Marshall Fields, a young farmer residing near Garden City, was killed by lightning at his farm. He recently removed to this county from Larned and was married. Lawrence Woman a Suicide—Mrs. Mary Hackbarth of Lawrence committed suicide by taking carbolic acid. Fell and Fractured His Skull.—P. R. Harmon, a well known resident of Brown county, fell from a scaffold in Willis and fractured his skull. He will die. He has a wife and three children. He was at one time county superi tendent of Brown county. Artilleryman Kills Himself. — Private Robert J. Westmoreland of Fort Riley, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. He belonged to the Second battery of field artillery. No cause why he should kill himself could be learned. He enlisted for the service at Joplin, Mo., about two years ago. Work Starts on El Dorado Depot. — Contractor F. L. Swanson of Topeka commenced work on the new brick Santa Fe depot in El Dorado. It will be 28x140 feet, one story. It will be modern in every way and the building and grounds will cost $25,000. Properties Will Be Closed Out. — The properties of the Devlin estate will be closed out completely by the first of next year, is the announcement which Cyrus Leland, one of the trustees of the estate, made. This will take with it the discharge of the trusteeship of the estate. In less than two years the entire estate of over $3,000,000 will have been closed out to the satisfaction of numerous creditors. Is Now a Millionaire. — Claude E. Leppleman, a dry goods clerk in Wichita has been notified that he is among the heirs to an estate valued at nearly $38,000,000. According to a letter received by Mr. Leppleman his share of this estate will be about $3,000,000, he being one of eleven heirs. It was by the death of a grand uncle, J. C. Ingraham, of New York City, that Mr. Leppleman will become independently rich. Two Drowned at Leavenworth. Carl Hubert, aged 9; ears, while playing with a dog in the Missouri river slipped into deep water and was drowned. Francis Pike rushed into the water and pulled the boy out and was carrying him ashore, when Annie Hubert, aged 12, a sister of the boy, ran forward and tore the body of her brother from Pike, and she and the brother then slipped into a deep hole and were drowned before assistance could reach them. Will Bridge the Kaw.—The quartermaster's department at Fort Riley notified the war department that an appropriation of $18,500 had been made for building a bridge across the Kaw river at the post. Fort Riley had a bridge over the Kaw until it was wrecked by the flood and since that time the south part of the reservation across the river has been of little use in the operation of the troops in practice. Shot Wrong Man.—As the Missouri Pacific Flyer No. 2 pulled into Lindsborg二org two harvest hands from Knoxville, Tenn., were walking along the track. The conductor pulled a revolver and shot presumably to frighten the bum but in the darkness he struck Ed Beam, one of the men going by. The bullet struck him on the left side of his head and passed around under the scalp to his left temple and when found was flattened. The people of Lindsborg raised $37 for the injured man who left with his partner, Mr. Griffin, for their home in Tennessee. Beam will very likely sue the company for damages. Mulvane Man Suicides.—James M. Kuhn, who lived on a farm five miles northeast of Mulvane, in Sedgwick county, took his life by shooting himself through the head with a shotgun. The only reason given for his act is the fact that his father, Captain E. J. Kuhn, an old Mexican war veteran, who had made his home with his son since the death of his aged wife several months ago, had become imbued with the idea that he was no longer wanted at his son's home, and had made arrangements to leave for the old soldiers' home. In spite of the protests of his son and family the old gentleman packed his belongings and started for Mulvane. Evidently this was more than Mr. Kuhn could bear, and going into the orchard on the farm ended his life. Big Increase in Taxes.—Kansas has made a remarkable increase in the value of taxable property within the past year, according to the reports of county assessors to the state board of equalization. A year ago the total taxable property of the state was $381,976,887 as returned by the assessors to the county clerks and by the latter to the board. The increase has been $22,094,805 and the total taxable property of the state is now $404,071,692. Shawnee is still the wealthiest county in the state, with a taxable value of $18,305,307. Wyandotte is a close second with $18,158,440. Sedgwick is third with property valued at $14,077,497. Grant has less taxable property than any other county in the state and its valuation is returned as $263,771. Benefits Temperance Party. — The city council has voted for a Fifth ward in Salina. This move will give the temperance element the absolute control of the city council, which it has never had before. Another Victim of Fourth of July. —William Trimmel of Oswego, aged 16 years, received fatal injuries on the evening of the Fourth of July by being thrown from his horse, the pommel of the saddle striking him in the pit of the stomach. It became frightened at the fire crackers and ran away. Two Engineers Injured. — The Santa Fe limited No. 3 ran into freight engine in the yards at Hutchinson and Engineer James Chalfant, of the freight engine, was seriously bruised about the face and head. He will recover. Engineer Lou Walthouse, of the limited, was also slightly injured. None of the passengers was hurt. Jurisdiction to be Tested. — The board of railroad commissioners will have an opportunity to test the provision of the railroad law giving the board supervision over irrigation ditches. U. T. Tapscott, of Syracuse has complained of the damage done by an irrigation ditch which has been affected by a new culvert constructed by the Santa Fe. The ditch is said to be flooding farms every time there is a rain in that part of the state. Crack Shoot at iola in October. — The Kansas and Missouri Association Gun clubs will probably hold their shoot in iola some time during the month of October. It is estimated that about 100 crack shots from all parts of the United States will be there and take part in the contest. Mr. Hilles, the president of the club, savs that an effort will be made to have R. C. Elliott, who is known to be the crack shot of the world, present on this occasion. Kansas Flour For Holland. — J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, announces that an Arkansas City, Kas, order for flour just received from Amsterdam, Holland, will require thirty-five of their largest cars for transportation to the ports. The order requires two shipments, the first going in July via Galveston, and to contain 1,023,000 pounds. The second shipment will be in August via Newport News, and will be of 1,089,000 pounds. Beginning of the End.—The board of county commissioners will at its next meeting at Holton consider a petition to make a townsite out of the Pottawatomie reservation. All the Indian lands have been allotted, and under the law the heirs of dead Indians may sell the allotments. About 500 white families have bought homes on the reserve, and are living there. Many Indians have adopted the ways of the whites, and gone to farming for a living, and there have been several marriages of late. Full blooded Pottawatomies are rare. The creation of the new township will mark the beginning of the end of the Pottawatomie tribe and the elimination of its reservation. Big Mortgage Filed. — A mortgage for $1,250,000 was filed in the register of deeds' office at Wichita by the Wichita Natural Gas Company, in favor of the Colonial Trust Company of Pittsburg, Pa. The deed will be filed in several counties, it being necessary to record it in every county where the company has property. The company will have branch lines running out of Montgomery county into Belle Plaine, Newton, Sedgwick, Wellington, Halstead. Burrton and Hutchinson. Besides these branch lines the mortgage includes the main pipe line, which is to run to Wichita. The counties in which the mortgage must be filed include Sedgwick, Chautauqua, Elk, Cowley, Harvey Butler and Reno. It will cost the company about $30 to file the mortgage in each county. The instrument is an immense affair and covers 70 printed pages. It will be copied by the clerks in the registrer of deeds' office as soon as possible, but it will probably require several days to complete the job. Will Exhibit Wheat Train. — Syl Dixon, of "corn train" fame, was in Topeka to make contracts with the railroads to haul a wheat train from the southwestern Kansas counties to Chicago and Eastern cities. Mr. Dixon expects to have his train ready to leave Dodge City early in September. He has already arranged with F. D. Coburn to have the latter go to Dodge City and start the train with appropriate ceremonies. The train will run to Hutchinson, where it will be exhibited for four days at the fair, and from there it will go to Chicago, running only during the daylight hours and stopping at every station on the road. The train will contain besides wheat from the southwestern counties, samples of the other products of that part of the state. There will be three exhibition cars and Mr. Dixon will also take along a band. There will be samples of the sugar beets and corn of the Arkansas river valley and a number of samples of fruit. Wichita Blind Number Thirty. — There are thirty blind persons in Wichita according to statistics compiled from a special United States Census. Dr. Jackson Shot by Joll Price. — Dr. A. F. Jackson was shot in the abdomen by Joll Price. Both parties are residents of Kincaid. Dr. Jackson is a prominent physician. Price is a carpenter. After shooting Jackson Price walked to Garnett and gave himself up. He claims that Jackson was the cause of his wife leaving him. Moved to Wichita.—S. A. Stepleton, an engine inspector for the Missouri Pacific has been ordered to transfer his headquarters from El Dorado to Wichita at once. Baccas May Give Bond.—A writ of habeas corpus ordering the sheriff of Barber county to release Otho Baccus on bail was issued by Chief Justice Johnston of the supreme court. Baccus is charged with the murder of John Mills at Harper, June 1. Mills was found at the rear of a livery stable, his head crushed by a blow from a neckyoke Medicine. MISS ANNIE HENDREN. MISS ANNIE HENDREN, Rocklyn, Wash., writes: "I feel better than I have for over four years. I have taken several bottles of Peruna and one bottle of Manailin. "I can now do all of my work in the house, milk the cows, take care of the milk, and so forth. I think Peruna is a most wonderful medicine. "I believe I would be in bed to-day if I had not written to you for advice. I had taken all kinds of medicine, but none did me any good. "Peruna has made me a well and happy girl. I can never say too much for Peruna." Not only women of rank and leisure praise Peruna, but the wholesome, useful women engaged in honest toil would not be without Dr. Hartman's world renowned remedy. The Doctor has prescribed it for many thousand women every year and he never fails to receive a multitude of letters like the above, thanking him for his advice, and especially for the wonderful benefits received from Peruna. Shelter Tents. There is a probability of the Australian military authorities encouraging the manufacture or importation of shelter tents, as used in Japan during the late war. The tent consists of a waterproof sheet with hooks and eyelets, the weight being trifling. Each Japanese soldier carries one of these sheets in his kit, and any number of them can be laced together, the custom being for four men to form a bivouac. Arms are piled in the usual way, and the sheets are spread over the pile weapons, affording shelter from both heat and rain. They can be utilized in many ways for sheltering the soldiers. SOME BEDROOM DON'TS. Don't lie in the same position all night if you can help it. Don't cover your head with the bed-clothes. Have your covers warm but light. Don't go to bed hungry. Eat any light simple food that you wish if it agrees with you. Don't sleep in a room that is too cold. From 55 to 60 degrees 4s the right temperature. Don't go to bed with cold feet, but see to it it thief they are warm and comfortable before you get in bed. Don't fill your bedroom with bric-a-brac and draperies, but have as little as possible in it to catch the dust. Don't put your pillows in the sun, as it draws the oil out of the feathers. Sun the bed and bedding, but place the pillows out of the sunlight in a current of air. BACK TO PULPIT. What Food Did for a Clergyman. A minister of Elizabethtown tells how Grape-Nuts food brought him back to his pulpit: "Some 5 years ago I had an attack of what seemed to be La Grippie which left me in a complete state of collapse and I suffered for some time with nervous prostration. My appetite failed, I lost flesh till I was a mere skeleton, life was a burden to me, I lost interest in everything and almost in everybody save my precious wife. "Then on the recommendation of some friends I began to use Grape-Nuts food. At that time I was a miserable skeleton, without appetite and hardly able to walk across the room; had ugly dreams at night, no disposition to entertain or be entertained and began to shun society. "I finally gave up the regular ministry, indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost a hermit. After I had been using the Grape-Nuts food for a short time I discovered that I was taking on new life and my appetite began to improve; I began to sleep better and my weight increased steadily; I had lost some 50 pounds, but under the new food regime I have regained almost my former weight and have greatly improved in every way. "I feel that I owe much to Grape-Nuts and can truly recommend the food to all who require a powerful rebuilding agent, delicious to taste and always welcome." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. A true natural road to regain health, or hold it, is by use of a dish of Grape-Nuts and cream morning and night. Or have the food made into some of the many delicious dishes given in the little recipe book found in pkgs. Ten days' trial of Grape-Nuts helps many. "There's a reason." Mary: There are a few.

WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE HARVEST Then Tie Up Government by Strike— Stolypin's Reasons — Tells Why He Dissolved the Parliament. St. Petersburg, July 26.—Though it is difficult to obtain a true picture of the conditions of the interior on account of the embargo that has been put on press dispatches, all indications point more and more to the postponement of the threatened general strike until the government shall be less, and the country more, prepared for such an event; until the harvest is finished and the revolutionary movement develops spontaneously movement develops spontaneously among the idle peasantry. What news has been received from the provinces today indicates that conditions are scarcely ripe, except in the tamine districts, for an upheaval. The strategists of the revolutionary council are laboring with the hotheads to induce them to defer the call for a general strike until it can come as a supplement to the movement already under way. A definite decision will be reached within a day or two in the reorganized council of workmen. The remnant of the Constitutional Democratic deputies, many of whom, after having collected the arrears of salary and mileage due them, have started homeward, are caucusing industriously, but their importance has gone neither the government nor the revolutionists paying much attention to the former dominant party in the lower house of parliament. The government indeed has not abandoned its efforts to enlist Moderates in the cabinet. COLONEL GREEN IS NOT SHOT. Rumor Denied of Another Mexican Uprising. Douglas, Ariz., July 26. — United States Consular Agent John B. Breathitt of Cananea, Mexico, arrived here tonight with an emphatic denial of rumors current along the border of another uprising at Cananea, in which Col. W. C. Greene was alleged to have been shot, saying: "I wish to state through the Associated Press to the people of the country that all stories of unrest or of prospective trouble at Cananea are absolutely false and circulated solely for mercenary motives. The newspaper correspondents sending out this trash are availing themselves of rumors they know to be without foundation in fact, for so much perline. Whether the stock market interests are being served at the same time for pay I do not know, but the continued assaults on Colonel Greene by those who are endeavoring to fleece small holders out of their stock gives it that appearance. As for Cananea, Sonora, the friends of the thousands of Americans who are there can rest assured that they are absolutely safe. Not only is there no feeling against Americans, but the Mexican government has taken the necessary steps in providing troops to prevent the possibility at any future time of disorders of even a slight character." Colonel Breatbitt is widely known as a former railroad commissioner of Missouri and later as a member of the Democratic national committee from Arizona. STRUCK BY A TORPEDO. Men Sent to Pick Up Spent Torpedo Cot in Way. Newport, R. L. July 26.—A Whitehead torpedo fired from the dock at the torpedo station during practice today struck and sank a boat in which four seamen gunners were seated. A lifeboat rescued the seamen. The torpedo was not charged, but it was driven with sufficient force by compressed air to break a hole in the boat at a distance of 360 yards. The men in the boat were stationed on the range line to pick up the spent torpedo but by mischance they got in the way of it. MONROE LUMBER COMPANY. Lost Its Plant at Monroe, La., by Fire Last Night. Shreveport, La., July 26.—The plant of the Monroe Lumber Company, at Monroe, La., the largest in north Louisiana, was destroyed by fire tonight. The loss is estimated at $100,000, partially insured. The origin of the fire is not known. CAFFREY FAMILY IS HIT. One Killed and Others Injured in Ex plosion Newark, N. J., July 26. — An explosion, presumably of a naptha tank, wrecked the saddlery and leather plant of M. Caffrey & Sons here today. James Caffrey, aged 17, son of Matthew Caffrey, head of the firm, was killed and Matthew Caffrey and his sons, Matthew Jr., and John, were seriously injured. The fire which followed practically destroyed the plant AWFUL ITCHING. ON SCALP. Hair Finally Had to Be Cut to Save Any—Scalp Now in Good Condition—Cured by Cuticura. "I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for a diseased scalp, dandruff, and constantly falling of hair. Finally I had to cut my hair to save any at all. Just at that time I read about the Cuticura Remedies. Once every week I shampooed my hair with the Cuticura Soap, and I used the Ointment twice a week. In two months' time my hair was long enough to do up in French twist. That is now five years ago, and I have a lovely head of hair. The length is six inches below my waist line, my scalp is in very good condition, and no more dandruff or itching of the scalp. I used other remedies that were recommended to me as good. but with no results. Mrs. W. F. Griess, Clay Center, Neb., Oct. 23, 1905." When Herbert Spencer was a boy his father sent him away from home to school. The youngster became homesick and with two shillings in his pocket made his way home, over 120 miles. In three days, walking most of the way. He did 48 miles the first day and 47 on the second. On the third day a friendly coach driver took him most of the way for nothing. Cornellus Vanderbilt, in the name of his father, and Alfred G., in the name of his mother, made application for membership in the Rhode Island Society of the Cincinnati as the representative of the Vanderbilt family. The society decided that Cornellus was the proper representative and he was elected with 15 others. "Lliquor and cigar tables," says the London Mall, "with the glasses and bottles cunningly concealed and fitted with a little refrigerator, are very popular just now as wedding presents."

Will Not Convene Again Until March 5, 1907-Form of Martial Law in St. Petersburg-City Filled St. Petersburg, July 24.—Russia's first experiment in parliamentary government came to an ignominious end Saturday night with the promulgation of two imperial ukases, the first dissolving the present parliament and providing for the convocation of its successor March 5, 1907, more than six months hence, and the second proclaiming the capital of Russia and the surrounding province to be in a state of extraordinary security, which is only infinitesimally different from full martial law. The measure of safety is to provide for the outbursts which undoubtedly will be provoked by this daring measure. It is now but a step to dictatorship. With the imperial ukase dissolving parliament which was promulgated early Sunday morning, the curtain rose upon possibly the last act in the great drama of the Russian revolution. The people and the government now stand face to face, and upon the army depends the immediate issue. Even should the government, however, succeed in restraining an outbreak of the people, the victory probably will only be temporary and simply confine the steam for the final explosion. No one doubts the severity of the storm which will rise in the country in response to the emperor's dispersal of the men whom he welcomed two months ago in the winter palace as the "bent men in Russia," but the die is cast. The government has elected to fight, and the capital Sunday bore eloquent testimony of the preparations made to repress the masses by force. The city was packed with soldiers and resembled an armed camp. The proletariat organizations have been preparing for months for just such provocation to declare open war. The government undoubtedly calculated on catching the opposition off its guard, but if it expected to strike terror to the hearts of the members of parliament it has failed signally. Some time ago when dissolution seemed imminent the various groups of the opposition virtually agreed to follow the example of their French compatriots of the states general and meet, if driven out of the Tauride palace, wherever and whenever circumstances dictated until a constitution was firmly established. After a hurried secret conference Sunday morning it was decided on account of the possibility of the meeting being broken up and the members arrested that they go immediately to Finland and decide upon the future course to be pursued and small groups left Sunday afternoon and evening by train. Whether word was given them to meet at Viborg or Helsingfors, is unknown, but it seems probable that Finland in future Russian history will become anonymous with "The tennis court" of the French revolution. The representatives of the powers were busy Sunday dispatching long telegrams to their governments advising them of the sudden and serious turn of events. There were several conferences of diplomats Sunday afternoon concerning the advisability of asking for warships, or at least of hiring steamships to take off prelegn subjects in case of necessity, but no concerted action was decided upon. Sunday night the trains were filled with foreigners departing for abroad. St. Petersburg, July 25.—Proclamations announcing that the death sentence has been imposed on the emperor, Gen. Trepoff, M. Pobledonostsef who was procurator-general of the holy synod, Gen. Orloff, the "pacifier" of the Baltic provinces, and others has been scattered over part of Peterhof. The terrorists are said to have succeeded in nailing copies of the sentence on the doors of Gen. Orloff and Gen. Trepoff's quarters. It is already certain that some consternation exists in the upper spheres over the magnitude of the task they have assumed. Events are marching with startling rapidity. Having taken a decision to sit on the safety valve the government knows of no method except force and all the old bureaucratic machinery of suppression has been placed in operation to prevent an explosion. War to the knife with revolution and the knife to the hilt was proclaimed Tuesday by Premier Stolypin in a telegram addressed to the governor-generals, governors and prefects throughout Russia and to the viceger of the Caucasus, who are ordered to strike and spare not in efforts to preserve order and crush "the enemies of society." Packers Take an Appeal. St. Louis Mo., July 25—Transcript and bills of exceptions were filed Tuesday in the United States circuit court of appeals by the Armour Packing company, Swift & Co., Morris & Co. and the Cudahy Packing company, which were convicted in the United States district court at Kansas City on charges of accepting rebates. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed The Things We Eat Too much meat is absolutely hurtful to the body. Sailors on board of ships get scurvy when their supply of vegetable food is exhausted. The digestive organs of the human body demand vegetable food, and if we don't eat enough vegetables we pay for it dearly. Nature gave us wheat, and in every kernel of wheat nature has distributed iron, starch, phosphorus, lime, sugar, salt and other elements necessary to make bone, blood and muscle. EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically prepared. Cooked, and made into crisp flakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the stomach ready for the digestive organs to convert it into life-giving substances with but little effort. EGG-O-SEE eaters are a clean-eyed, strong and happy lot. The proof of a pudding and the proof of EGG-O-SEE is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides being solid nourishment is most palatable. Every mouthful is a joy to the taste and direct benefit to your health. A 10-cent package of EGG-O-SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts. Our friends advertise us. They eat EGG-O-SEE for a while. They grow strong. They are well and happy and they pass the good word along. Next time you send to the grocer's tell your boy or girl to bring home a package of EGG-O-SEE. Have your children eat EGG-O-SEE. It is their friend. They'll eat EGG-O-SEE when nothing else will taste good. You try EGG-O-SEE and you can deduct the cost from your doctor's bills.

Weather Prophet Had Simply Put Faith Where He Believed He Had a Right. James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, was discussing an antiquated kind of farming. "It is about as profitable and logical," he said, "as the weather reading of a Connecticut farmhand I used to know. "This farmhand claimed that he could read the weather infallibly. On a walk with me one afternoon a frog croaked, and he said: "We will have clear weather for 24 hours. When a frog croaks in the afternoon you may be sure of 24 hours of sunshine." "We walked on, and in 20 minutes or so a heavy shower came up and we were both drenched to the skin. "You are a fine weather prophet," said I, as we hurried homeward through the downpour. 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself.' "O. well," said the farmhand, 'the frog lied. it's to blame, not me. Am I responsible for the morals of that particular freg?" TERRIBLE TO RECALL. Five Weeks in Bed with Intensely Painful Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Mary Wagner, of 1867 Kossuth Ave., Bridgeport, Conn., says: "I was so weakened and generally run down with kidney disease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and at times dizzy spells when everything was a blur before with kidney disease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and at times dizzy spells when everything was a blur before me. The passages of the kidney secretions were irregular and painful, and there was considerable sediment and odor. I don't know what I would have done but for Doan's Ki'ney Pills. I could see an improvement from the first box, and five boxes brought a final cure." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

THE WINNING STROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, billiousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.
