We are here for the pur- ce of celebrating the 35th annivers- of the grand and noble order—and for me most prominent posi- events as they have transpired in history of our great and prais- erly fraternity. This day brings to hearts the most devoted gratitude joy because of its importance of occasion, the 35th Anniversary of International Order of Twelve of Knights and Daughter of Tabor. Thirty-five years ago the first orator was by nature a Grand Orator indeed and needed not the suffrages of the fraternity to crown him with the immortal distinction. His fame was world-wide—the imperial character of his intellect was generally acknowledged and the statiness of his eloquence received the homage alike of friend and foe. In statesmanship, he classed with Webster; in personal magnetism, he ranked with Franklin—and in all the arts and graces of speech he will live in the annals of America side by side with the famous Clay. This paragon of genius who was the first commonwealth, this society, are indebted for service as brilliant as they were patriotic. The International Order of Twelve was first introduced among us in 1872, shortly after a period of which they had just been freed of barbarians and slaves; most of them were uneducated in the arts of civilization and the principles of Christianity as we were being reared in a country with the courts of law barred against us and no tribunal to go to where we would have been the recipients of one iota of justice, no matter what were the crime or outrage that may have been perpetrated upon ourselves, our wives or our children for us in America, Justice had not yet begun; the two-edged sword of justice was truly the single-edged blade of oppression swayed by and in interest of one particular class who had the good fortune to be born under more prosperous circumstances. Father Dickson, the founder, knew what it was to struggle. Humble in birth and his boyhood surroundings, he determined to leave honorable mention for himself by helping his people. Even as a young man, he planted himself upon principle—interesting in the uplifting of his people whom by color and by legislation in the land he was identified. He began by unassuming man, also a patient man. He could see the probable end from the beginning and could afford to work and await results. He wrought and waited and therefore was successful. These characteristics prepared the man and the providence of God developed the hour and the way in which they were to be utilized. The Negro of America in early days were philosophers as well as philanthropists Every intelligent philanthropist must necessarily be a philosopher. He sees this world as a huge weight house in which the interest of men, women and children are continually balancing. He hears the wall of distress and he knows there are deeper depths beyond the conch shell of the sounding sea at our ears echoes only faintly the stormy voices which have nestled there for ages. Philanthropy then comes to the rescue of these—but these people themselves were sufferers; they knew there must b some hlp and protection afforded from the storms of sickness and sorrow and disaster and death. When Poverty sat on every doorstep and visited every other home, they saw the need of some organization for protection, to perpetuate the noble deeds of the Knights of Liberty, the father and founder, Rev. Moses Dickson organized the International Order of Twelve, of Knights and Daughters of Tabor in Independence, Mo., August 12, 1872. Since the time Temple, Tabernacle, Platiums and Tents have been organized in thirty-two states and territories, its rituals of twelve degrees, General Laws and Ceremonies and constitutions and everything needed to conduct the business of the Order were originated by the father and founder—the Order is now thirty-five years old, with over 180,000 members, and growing rapidly. It is beneficially taking care of its sick members, relieving distressed widows, burying its dead—endowing the family of deceased members—providing homes for the aged and infirm members—and schools for the orphan children of Knights and Daughters. This Order teaches the greatness and goodness of God and that unity is power it is non-sectarian and non-political. It instructs its members to live moral lives and to accumulate property. This Order, since its introduction in 72, has flourished and blossomed as a rose, teaching its votaries their rights and how to honorably maintain them. Our Order has prospered in every way and today stands at the topmost round of the ladder among secret societies in this country composed almost exclusively of men and women of African descent; its affairs being administered by men of the race, demonstrating to all mankind that by sobriety, industry, frugality, and unswerving purpose they can compete with the more favored races of the world. Sir Knights and Daughters, let us honor the names of those faithful Taborians, who, by their unselfish devotion to the Order, have established it among the greatest in the world of men. Especially this Grand Jurisdiction of Kansas and Nebraska. Let us intercept in time cankerous greed of such as follow in our onward march only to obstruct and consume. The Order of Twelve is making history. Within its annals now live immortal names—names that no time can efface from the records of the just and good and true. Let us tell the story to our children and to our aged whose eyes are dim. Tell them of a Pasker, of his noble career, of his devotion, his Christian spirit. Tell them of Emma Galins, the woman of Tabor and church whose every act was born of love; tell them of A. Hopkins whose long and unselfish service upon the Mount was never soiled by even a suspicion of dishonorable deed; tell them of Sarah Forbes. She is not only an enthusiastic Taborian, but is ever respected and representative Negro woman. She possesses a pleasing and attractive appearance, a sincere disposition. Tell them of Jannie Alexander, a most excellent and cultured lady. She has a happy spirit that carries sunshine with her in all her work among the children. There is one greater among us whose name is emblazoned in letters of gold within our archives and within our hearts. We honor his name. We shall hand it down sanctioned to our children. The years may fly, decades may enfold decades until time shall reach its limit, then when the world is old and crumbling into invisible atoms, when the records of men fulfilled and angels are singing the songs gleaned from the elect of earth around the allshining throne when breathes the fast-fading zephyrs and where an auroral flashes the last dim light and seen with the sweet strains of music which shall arouse the interminable joys of Oden will be whispered Frank Wilson. Tell them of C. G. Fishback, a man whose soul was filled with philanthropic principles and who, from the beginning, has proven himself thoroughly devoted to Taborianism and withal in the pulpit a teacher of morals. I feel that it is due the Order in this Jurisdiction of Kansas, and Nebraska to speak in commendable terms of the high ground that is being taken to make character the prerequisite to membership. History has shown that nations and people fall from their lofty positions in proportion as they disregard the principles of virtue and morality. Ethiopia once the mistress of the world, surrendered herself to corrupting agencies and lost her high civilization. Babylon succumbed to avarice, luxury and crime, and fell from her lofty eminence. Rome was once a great empire in pomp and splendor but when her vices outweighed her virtues, she became a prey to debauchery and crime, and so it is with this Order, as long as virtue and morality are made the strongest safeguards to the entrance of our secret labyrinth, just so long will the Order be a potent factor in the galaxy of secret societies. Let us hold fast to this enduring principle of our noble Order—Liberty, Fidelity, Unity—Equality, Firmness, Harmony, Perpetuity. Fraternity tells in eight words the checkered history of the world's past struggles and future hopes, the ideas that underlie these talismanic words were borne from above and filled with the only thoughts that can compass complete happiness must roll on until the mission accomplished; they dissipate at millennium's dawn, and when the need of our charities have been forgotten and the fraternal few shall have become the leavened whole, when the hater and the hated are allike gathered to their fathers and the eagles of our grand republic are only rusted relies in the ignorant hands of the fading few who survive her greatness and unconsciously witness her decay, then, even then lighting the lives and inspiring the hearts of other races; beneath the bluer skies and kindler climes, heaven sent Liberty, God-given Equality, Christ ordained, fraternity will shine on sweeping over the sea of centuries until the last receding wave of Time breaks from the sands of Eternity. C. M. JOHNSON, P. G. P. P. ST. PAULS A. M. E. CHURCH NEWS Notwithstanding the extreme heat a fair congregation attended each service on last Sabbath.

SUBJECT: MEN OF THE HOUR. Kansas City, Kan., Aug. 12, 1907. Mr. W. N. Miller, Editor The Wichita Searchlight, Wichita, Kansas. Dear Sir and Brother, Greeting— Please allow me a small space in your valuable paper as Brother A. M. Machack and myself are endeavoring to build up the lodges and institute new lodges. I thought with this end in view, I might interest the readers of your splendid state journal by informing them of our success in and along this line, telling them what we have ac- Chas. J. Williams, Kan. City. Kan complished in ten months. We claim the Odd Fellows shall take Kansas. My reason for asserting this fact is, that if we have the co-operation of the Executive Board, we shall give to Kansas all the lodges she lost after the Oklahoma opening which decreased our membership in the state from 1100 to 500 or less. Kansas has gradually filled up with another migration of splendid Negro citizens and we are entitled to a large percentage of them in our order. We intend to have them and we shall see to it that our order gets them. What we have done in Wyandotte, Kansas, in ten months, I feel satisfied can be done in every county in the state. We have set up a lodge in Argentine with a membership of 98 and about 10 or 12 still to be initiated. This lodge is composed of a stable class of men. We have instituted a lodge at Quindaro, Kansas, with a membership of 38 and organized one of the finest bands in the state, known as the Quindaro Odd Fellows Band. If any of our lodges are in need of one of the best bands, I hope that they will not forget that Quindaro Lodge has just what they need in that line. Call up Brother John Walker, Bell Phone, West 2729. And this is not all that we have done: We have organized an Odd Fellows' Association in Kansas City, Kansas, with a membership at its last meeting, of 134 stalwart members, a picked lot of men, and I am proud to say that the majority of them are Christian gentlemen. It is the largest number we have. We have organized an Odd Fellows Association at Armourdale, Kansas, with a membership of 46 and this lodge is also growing in numbers. We have also organized an Odd Fellows Association at Rosedale, Kansas, and they claim that they will outnumber the North End Association with her 134 members. These associations have all sent for their dispensations and the first one we look for is the North End Association. We have other calls outside of this county and we will attend to them as soon as we can get to them. Let the good work go on. These are a few of the things that the men of the hour have done and are still accomplishing for our noble order, and yet the other fellows, who stand and look on with faultfinding, go to the pie coutner first, without even lifting a hand to brush the flies away, and say in everything is well done. But we will continue doing our duty as M. P. V., for when duty calls, we must obey. ```markdown ``` These are a few of the things we are doing for Kansas and previous to my good fortune of meeting my colleague, Bro. A. M. Machack, whom I solicited to join my lodge, on his arrival in our city. I have, single-handed, worked for our order in Kansas since 1883. I came here from New Orleans, La., my native home, where I was a member of lodge 1529, having joined that lodge quite in the year of 1875. After coming here, I saw that much could be done for the betterment of our order and therefore, I worked incessantly for a number of years with good results. Many things introduced by me are now being practiced in our lodges. And a few of the things which are not yet included in our laws although introduced by me, are still my hobby and I hope to live to see the last one of them become a law. Herewith, I shall name some of them, and one of them is now a law: Number 1—Reducing the Endowment from $300.00 to $100.00. Passed. Number 2—Establishing widows and orphans' home for old Odd Fellows of the state and territory. Not passed. Number Three—Kansas Furial Law of $75.00. Number Four—Establishing District Deputies in Five Districts in Kansas. Number Five—Special Medical Certificate wherein the Examining Physician is held responsible for sickly candidates. The foregoing are some of my hobbies and every district meeting I have been permitted to attend has heard the propositions and they all claim: that they are good but still they would not pass them owing to the voluminous amount of business which gave them more concern, and never has there been any improvement made in Kansas since the existence of the D. G. D. outside of the regular routine of the three days' session. As a Man of the Hour, I will suggest a few systematical improvements, which are much needed. Fl rst—The election of an Endowment Treasurer and Secretary in order that the D. G. L. may know what monies they can and should use for gifts, etc., and not use money sent to pay heirs. As every other state is separating these funds, Kansas should wake up and vote out only the money they receive by direct taxation for charity. Second—That the D. G. L. shall send out quarterly statements of receipts and expenditures or else the Endowment Secretary when elected, shall do so. We are expecting to have a Grand Public Installation of the three lodges. If so, we shall write later on of our program. It will be a trio—North End United Brothers, Aurora of Armourdale, and Rosedale Bee of Rosedale, to which we will extend an invitation to all of the lodges. It will no doubt be one of the grandest demonstrations you have ever attended, among Odd Fellows or that has ever taken place in this county, with our famous Quindaro band, belching out sweet music. As the Men of the Hour will be monthly send you a letter to inform you what we are doing, while the other fellow is in bed snoring, and will not wake up until next July and then will be able to tell you about who shall eat pie, we hope to bring up the rear and you shall be the judge. We hope to continue. Yours truly, THE MEN OF THE HOUR, C. J. WILLIAMS, P. M. V. P. A. M. HAASK, M. V. P. A. M. MAHACK, M. V. P. Lodge No. 4894, 443 Nebraska Ave., Kansas, City, Kansas.

MILLER, Editor, 601 N Main, phone 2046. GOOD NEGRO MUSICIAN NEEDED IN WICHITA. A good, all round Negro musician of the right stripe can do well in Wichita as a teacher. The white music teachers, it is said, have been forced by their white patrons to give up and refuse to teach colored pupils in the future which makes a splendid opening for the right kind of colored music teacher. We would like to see some good colored teacher locate in our city and thus place the colored music students beyond the necessity of the present embarrassment. TRY US For a Good Job of Lead and Oil.

It is with a sad heart that the editor of the Searchlight learns of the death of his long time and true friend, Sir Knight Edward Henderson, who died in Kansas City, Kan., August 6th. Many years before the editor of the Searchlight entered into public life or became a member of the Order of Twelve, he met and formed the acquaintance of the lamented Sir Edward Henderson, and from that acquaintance a friendship between the two was cultivated which lasted till death broke the tie. We knew Edward Henderson, and knew him as a man, true as steel and as a friend who never forsook a friend. During the number of years of our acquaintance we have always held him in the highest esteem and we find our selves now unable to find appropriate words of utterance. The death of our friend Sir Edward Henderson is only a reminder to us that we, too, must ore long give up our worldly career for the narrow confinements of the grave. We sorrowfully join the other Sir Knights, Daughters, and friends, in mourning his death. But we say "He is not dead—but sleepep." A STORAGE PLACE W. N. Miller is having the rear room at 634 N. Water St. fitted up for the purpose of storing goods of any and every kind for people who wish to leave the city or for any other reason wish to store anything.

Phone 232 245 N. Market THE SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, . . . KANSAS. India's Curse. One of the great perils of India is the danger from serpents and wild beasts, which annually cause enormous loss of life in that part of the world. There is a belief in many pagan minds which prevents the killing of wild animals, no matter how ferocious they may be, and which leaves undisturbed the most venomous snakes. The awful havoc wrought by serpents is made the subject of official mention in a report by William H. Michal, the American consul general at Calcutta, in which that gentleman says: "The serpent question is still a very 'live,' very serious question in India. Snake bites occur frequently, and they are generally inflicted by venomous snakes, like the cobra." Then he relates that last year there were reported 21,797 deaths from snake bite. But it is admitted that the statistics are kept very loosely, and it is believed the actual fatalities will exceed the quoted figures by at least 50 per cent. This sort of thing has gone on indiscretely, and for at least 30 years the total has averaged as high as that of 1906. Add to this the ravages of flesh-eating beasts, including the tigers and lions, many of which become "man killers," and some conception may be formed of the result. India is a country of many millions population, but the census would show still greater growth were there some well-organized effort in the way of disposing of its noxious wild creatures. Plea for Enlisting No man who will look carefully into the work of the army of the navy can fail to realize that a career in either branch of our military service is one to which any man may give himself with the fullest devotion and with the highest ideals. Americans, as a rule, know little about the actual work of either of these services, and few realize that when a man enters the service of the army or of the navy, whether as officer or as enlisted man, he enters a great school, a school in which is taught not only the discipline of self-restraint, of cleanliness, of devotion to duty, but in which are taught also the elements of an education, says H. S. Pritchett, in Atlantic. An enlisted man who enters a regiment of the army, barely able to read or write, comes out, if he be a man of ambition and industry, at the end of three years, in possession of the fundamentals of an English education. His officer stands to him not only in the relation of a military director, but in the relation also of a teacher and of a friend. There is no career open to an American boy, unless it be that of a teacher, which offers a larger opportunity than that of the army or navy officer to minister to the service of men. A Consumptive Flood. The flocking of consumptives from all parts of the country to the southwest has created problems in the latter region with which the various states are dealing in different ways. In Texas the state health officer has just issued a statement in which he says that victims of tuberculosis in its advanced stages will be debarred from entering or remaining in that state. He declares that conditions make such a rule imperative. So many indigent consumptives have been pouring in and becoming charges on the public that the people of certain sections are seriously burdened in caring for such patients. This increase of the pauper population not only works hardships on taxpayers, but the scattering throughout the state of throngs of tuberculosis sufferers of all classes causes an inability to control the spread of the disease. This is rather hard on health seekers, but Texas surely cannot be blamed. Vanishing Forests. The old forests of Kentucky are vanishing. In all the good farming regions men saved fine bits of forest, set with old beeches, oaks, ashes, poplars, hickories, elms and walnuts. When the undergrowth was taken away the grass set about the trees and grew luxuriantly. Now these trees are very old, and many are in decay. The beech is an especially fine tree, and it is worthy of note that there is not one beech to a thousand old and decaying trees! Some day, says Our Country, the beech will be an extinct tree in all the more fertile and cultivated regions. Smokers who have been longing to break themselves of the tobacco habit will rejoice to know that a French doctor has invented a fluid called nicotyl. one drop of which will cause a man to have nausea at the mere thought of tobacco. By a process of kite flying the weather men of the country are going to pomulgate new rules for weather forecasting. Prognostications concerning the weather are usually a little "up in the air," anyhow. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. How a Veteran Was Saved the Ampu- tation of a Limb. B. Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropsy. I was weak and helpless, having JOHN H. BURKE run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural and all my pains and aches disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. IN THE NAME OF CHARITY. Jack London's Story Carries Sting of Truth and Pathos. "Jack London's famous definition of charity—sharing a bone with a dog when you're as hungry as the dog—recalls a story about charity," said a magazine editor, "that I heard Mr. London tell at a farewell dinner in New York before he sailed away on the Spark. "Mr. London said two old men were smoking and drinking together after dinner. "The host rang the bell and an old woman appeared. "‘Confound you, stupid!’ said the host. 'Didn't I tell you I wanted the Scotch? Take this back, and bring what I asked for, you old fool!' "Come, come,' said the guest, after the old woman had hurried away in a great fright. 'Come, come, my friend, don't you think you are rather too sharp with your old servant?' "Oh,' said the other, 'she's not a servant. She's only a poor relation I'm keeping out of charity.' "The guest looked relieved. "That alters the case, of course,' he said."-Washington Times. Depends on the Dogs. Asa Goddard, of the American Automobile association, was recounting in Worcester some of his touring adventures. "One summer morning," he said, "the approach of a great flock of sheep obliged me to pull off the narrow country road. I halted my car, and watched with interest the passage of the sheep, the intelligent dogs and the shepherd. "I had a short talk with the shepherd about his odd and difficult trade. "Look here." I said, "what do you do, driving sheep like this on a narrow road, when you meet another flock coming in the opposite direction." "Well," said the shepherd, "ye just drive straight on, both of ye, and the one that has the best dogs gets the most sheep." What Caused the Lynching. Out at Stafford the other day a group of farmers met a train, and when a tall, sunburned man stepped off the car they all grabbed him and shook his hand warmly. The man looked them over calmly and then said: "Gentlemen, I am sorry to disappoint you. I know you think I am a harvest hand, but you are mistaken. I am a lightning rod agent."—Kansas City Star.

SPREADS RAPIDLY Telegraph Operators Walk Out in Many Cities East and TCEY WANT NO ABBITRATION Efforts at Intervention Have So Far Proved Fruitless and Prospect is That Strike Will Become Universal. Chicago, Aug. 13.—The strike of the telegraph operators spread rapidly Monday the men walked out in many cities in the cast and west. The chief strike of the day was in New York where the operators of both Western Union and Postal companies left their keys. Other strikes during the day were as follows: Western Union—Montgomery, Ala., Savannah, Ga., Augusta, Ga., Des Moines, Iowa, Chattanooga, Tenn., Cleveland, Buffalo, Baltimore, Toledo, Columbia, S. C., Pittsburg. Postal—Columbus, O., Des Moines, Ia., Denver, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Baltimore, Columbia, S. C., Washington, D. C. The strike in this city did not spread beyond the limits it had attained Sunday. The union scale as favored by the operators was presented to a number of brokers during the day. The only strike in this direction was that of two men employed by A. H. Moho. They struck because they were asked to handle Western Union market quotations. During the day two of the largest commission houses in the city signed the scale presented by the operators and also issued a call for a meeting of representatives of other commission houses to discuss measures of warding off the strike. Arbitration advocates in the shape of Secretary Easley of the National Civic Federation and Labor commission Neil arrived in the city, but their mission was made difficult before they arrived by the statements of Supt. Coon of the Western Union and Capen of the Postal company to the effect that they would arbitrate nothing. Secretary Wesley Russell of the telegraphers expressed himself in a similar manner. Both companies announced that they will treat with their men as individuals but declared they will not receive any delegations or anybody of men representing the union. Secretary Russell said that the operators would not agree to arbitrate for the reason that the fight was already won, and it would be foolish for the men to throw away the advantage they have gained. Mr. Russell issued a bulletin to the operators Monday in which he declared that the fight was won and urging all members of the union to stand firm for a few days longer. He reported the strike in all sections of the country as progressing favorably for the men. The local unions of the operators throughout the United States and Canada were Monday voting on the question of ordering a general strike if their demands were not granted by the companies. The returns are not all expected within the next 12 hours but Secretary Russell said late Monday that the vote was practically unanimous for a strike if the demands of the operators were not granted. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of labor arrived in the city Monday to take an active part in the conduct of the strike. He was in several conferences during the day with the leaders of the union but declared at night that the situation had not been materially changed since his arrival. Both companies claimed Monday to be in better shape than at any time since the commencement of the strike. The Western Union claimed that it had handled all of its business had been cleared up and that he had sent a number of men home because there was not work enough for them to do. Supt. Capen of the Postal said that business in his office was moving in a satisfactory manner and declared that he had hired ten new men during the day, some of them being men who wailed out last week. Both companies were troubled during the day by the pulling of "plugs" by operators at various points along the line. Officials of both companies declared that arrests would be made for this offense whenever possible. ... Kansas City, Arg. 14—At 7:30 o'clock Monday evening all the Associated Press operators in the office here left their keys and walked out.

Probably to His Mind Conflict of Authority Was Vital. In one of the Atlanta Sunday schools recently the lesson for the day had to do with Mammon and the corrupting influences of great riches. Toward the close of the exercises, says Harper's Magazine, the superintendent called upon the infant class to repeat the golden text, which had special reference to man's inability to serve his Creator and the money god at one and the same time. The class failed to respond as it should, when the superintendent, noticing his own young hopeful in the ranks, who had that very morning been drilled thoroughly on the text, called to him. The response was immediate, though a slight departure from the original, for in a voice that was distinctly heard in all parts of the room there came the following modification: "Ye cannot serve God and mamma!" Fell Into Bad Company. A canny Scot was brought before a London magistrate on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. "What have you to say for yourself, sir?" demanded the magistrate. "You look like a respectable man, and ought to be ashamed to stand there." "I am vera sorry, sir, but I can' up in bad company fra Glasgow," humbly replied the prisoner. "What sort of company?" "A lot of teetotalers!" was the startling response. "Do you mean to say teetotalers are bad company??" thundered the magistrate. "I think they are the best of company for such as you." "Beggin' yer pardon, sir," answered the prisoner, "ye're wrong; for I had a bottle of whusky an' I had to drink it all myself!" In Extremis. The yacht was heavily becalmed. There were but ten bottles of champagne in the lockers. Their last signal of distress had been sent up, without bringing any response. "Gentlemen," exclaimed the commodore, in a quavering voice, "I can no longer conceal the hideous truth from you. Sobriety stares us in the face!" It was a wildly various scene which ensued. Some blasphemed, some prayed, some, in an access of frenzied wantonness, sang songs, while some sat stoically by, awaiting their fate with at least an outward calm.—Puck. Wouldn't Take His Place. Hearing of the sudden taking off the stage of life of a leading Thespian while he was playing in Chicago, a New York Rialtoan out of a job telegraphed the manager as follows: "Having heard of the sad and tragic demise of Mr. — —, I'll take his place for $150 a week." As the message was sent collect it elicited the following reply: "Thanks. I wouldn't take his place for twice that amount." Calf Like a Kangaroo.

WHY OIL IS SO HIGH Commissioner of Corporations Smith Makes Another Report on Standard Oil Methods. CHARGED FOREIGNERS LESS Has Sacrafiched the Interests of American Consumer to Secure Foreign Business—Railroads Pay Excessive Prices. Washington, Aug. 13.—In a report to the president on the petroleum industry by Commissioner of Corporations Smith the methods of the Standard Oil company are severely criticised, especially the fact that while prices of oil in this country has increased in a marked degree they have been lowered to as great an extent to the export trades, due to the fact that the company had competition abroad and none at home. The letter of submittal accompanying the report says in part: In the business of selling petroleum products in foreign countries the price policy of the Standard Oil company has apparently been to sacrifice the interests of the American consumer for the purpose of securing the Standard.5 foreign business, which is a very important one. In 1904 over 55 per cent of the illuminating oil produced in this country was exported, of which the standard exported about 87 per cent. The relative movement of oil prices as distinguished from their absolute level has shown for the last eight years a startling disparity between the United States and foreign markets, particularly from 1902 to 1905. The American price steadily advanced from 1897 to 1903. The New York export price advanced much less up to 1903, declining in 1904, and the Hamburg (German) price shows practically the same movement as the New York export price, while the London price shows a steady decline from 1901 to 1904 and a very important drop during 1905. The course of American and foreign prices in the last five years covered by this report has shown a greatly increased divergence, in general the American prices going up and the foreign prices showing a marked decline. The falsity of the Standard's arguments is further demonstrated by the fact that Curing 1904 and 1905, a period when the Standard claims that an oversupply existed, that company actually took large quantities of oil in Russia to supply its trade in Europe and the Orient. During 1904 it shipped from Russia over 1,500,000 barrels of illuminating oil for distribution in European and Asiatic countries. It has secured large crude production in Roumain and has established refineries there and in other countries for refining foreign crudes. It is perfectly evident that the Standard has not always been concerned with maintaining the export trade in American illuminating oil, but has been solely interested in maintaining its own domination in the markets of the world, frequently at the expense of the United States. Having a monopoly at home, it has charged such prices as it could thereby extort, and the American consumer has had to pay these prices. Meeting competition abroad, it has given the foreign consumer enormously lower prices, and it has used the profits made at home to maintain its position abroad, so that the American consumer has been severely discriminated against for the purpose of maintaining, not the dominance of America export trade, but the dominance of a particular combination which has used its power frequently and conspicuously to the disadvantage of the American public. A special and important branch of the oil industry is in the selling of railroad lubricants. Certain very remarkable facts characterize this business. The trade with railroad companies of the United States in lubricating oils for rolling stock amounts Standard Oil company, through the Galena-Signal Oil company, which it controls, has an almost complete monopoly therein, certainly over 95 per cent of this business. Absolutely to satisfactory explanation has b-en given for the excessive prices paid by nearly all railroads. They must be attributed solely to the fact that the Standard, which controls Galena, is powerful enough, either by reason of its enormous shipments of petroleum products or by its influence in financial circles, to induce most of the railroads of the country to pay excessive prices for their lubricant.

Mr. Joacker Tells of One Sentenced to Hard Labor for Life. Said Mr. Joacker, who was reading the paper: "Another poor wretch has been given a life sentence at hard labor." Said Mrs. Joacker, who was embroidering blue roses: "Probably he deserves it. What is he guilty of." "Fraud and no visible means of support. He obtained clothes and a fine turnout with no money and nothing collectible. He seems to be larger and stronger than most of that class, yet it is plain that he has never done a tap of work, though he has managed to live well, so far. But the poor fellow takes his sentence hard and cries piteously, protesting his innocence." "The wretch! He must have dealt with perfect fools!" "No, his victim is our own friend, Jack Smith." "That clever lawyer! Do read to me all about it!" "Born to Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, a 12-pound boy." — The Bohemian. NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA For Over Two Years—Patent Medicines, Quack Cures and Doctors Fail—Cuticura Succeeds. "I was very badly afflicted with eczema for more than two years. The parts affected were my limbs below the knees. I tried all the physicians in the town and some in the surrounding towns, and I also tried all the patient remedies that I heard of, besides all the cures advised by old women and quacks, and found no relief whatever until I commenced using the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura Remedies I found immediate relief, and was soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippecanoe, Ind., Nov. 15, '05." No. Not as a Rule. George P. Angell, Boston's brilliant and powerful defender of animals from cruelty, was talking about nature faking. "My friend, Will Long is no nature faker," he said, "but I admit that many of our myriad writers are. These men's idea of a lie seems too closely to resemble that of a little boy I know. "The boy's teacher said from her desk one afternoon: "I want every pupil who has never told a lie to hold up his hand." "There was a doubtful pause. Two or three hands were raised. Then my little friend piped out: "Teacher, is it a lie if nobody finds it out?"" Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Awful Warning. Pa—Yes, my son; the Egyptians were the most intellectual people on the face of the earth at one time, but finally the nation decayed. Tommy—And what caused them to decay, pa? Pa—Smoking too many Egyptian cigarettes, my son. But He Was Gone. "I tell you what," said the sad-looking man, "it's pretty hard for a man with a large family to live on a small income." "Yes," eagerly agreed the stranger, "but it's a great deal harder for his family if he dies on one. Now, my line is insurance; let me interest you—Eh? What's your hurry?" The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Evidently Frank Has a Cinch.

SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circulation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of foreign matter and restores the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby permanently curing every form of skin affection.

S. ```markdown ``` makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and black heads, while Psoriasis comes in scaly patches on different parts of the body. One of the worst forms of skin trouble is Salt Rheum; its favorite point of attack is the scalp, sometimes causing baldness. Poison Oak and Ivy are also disagreeable types of skin disease. The humor producing the trouble lies dormant in the blood through the Winter to break out and torment the sufferer with the return of Spring. The best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and removes the humors so that the skin instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a supply of fresh, healthy blood.
