THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT KANSAS CITY, KANS. Rebecca Tabernacle No. 11, Kansas City, Kans. is progressing nicely, and is working in peace and harmony. Our sick list has somewhat decreased. We feel very thankful for such a blessing. We were glad to have with us in our last meeting Daughter Emma James, C. G. P. It was her annual visit. She made very encouraging remarks, which were very appreciative. We were sorry to see her leave as son as she did, but owing to the fact she was called back to Topeka to attend the funeral of a daughter of Tabar. We hope when she makes her next visit nothing will happen so she may finish her visit. Our monthly meeting was very pleasant one. We had many visitors in which we were very proud. Daughter Johnson, H. of P., of one of the numbers of Kansas City, Mo., with us and made a few encouraging remarks. She highly compli- mented the daughters on their deport- ments in the meetings. Daughter Johnson, H. P., from Golden Rule, and daughter Robinette, H. P., of Fair Tabernacle, were present on Friday evening after C. G. R. Daughter Emma Gaines' annual visit the Knights and Daughters of Tabor tendered she and C. G. M. with a reception at Tights and Daughters of Tabor Hall Millh and Washington ave. The reception was largely attended. Miss Stella Wilson of Queen of the West Tabernacle, furnished music for evening. After the meeting of Washington Temple, the ladies were fitted to escort the gentlemen to the quet hall where, after a grand birth, we were favored by a drill of Patiline Guards of Washington all where refreshments of the season are served in abundance. Everyone fled feeling as though they had en- gled the evening. We were very glad to have the C. G. Sir Hopkins of Leavenworth, Kans.,. assisted in the election of officers, appreciated his visit and was very to have him assist us. Sir J. W. Wison, C. G. S., was also a pleasant other. We were very sorry to have Daughter Edith Edmonds resign her station save Kansas City, Kans., to be for two years. Daughter Edmonds left Wednesday, and II, for Seattle, Washington, in each of health. PRATT NEWS Last Sunday, the 19th, was a grand meeting with the churches here. A grand meeting at the Baptist church. Rev. Walter preached a soul-stirring service from Acts 12-7. Words of the moment, "A light shone in the prison," the people were filled with the Holy Spirit. At 3 o'clock the pastor and his congregation went over to the M. E. church and witnessed a grand Easter program, which was renamed by the Sunday school of this church. Pastor Woods highly appreciated the interest manifested in the dependent and pupils in rendering the grand program, which was a credit贴. At 3 o'clock p. m. Pastor Woods, together with his congregation, visited the second Baptist church, and under the leadership of Miss Leona Granes. The program was rendered. The witness at both churches were indeed we cannot help but say, all may be to Jesus give for his redeeming grace. The Christians here have learned the watchword, 'Kansas for Jesus,' and in his name we are going to our part. Rev. Turner left morning to fill an appointment at Haughton, Kansas. We wish much success and a safe return HISTICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS I am a candidate for nomination by the Republican primary for the second seat for the office of Judge of the City Jersey. James L. Dyer SPAIN'S CIVIL GUARD DECLARED TO BE FINEST IN THE WORLD CIVIL GUARDS IN WINTER DRESS WAITING FOR THEIR TRAIN. When the traveler visits Spain some of the very first of its inhabitants his eye will be attracted to at the frontier station will be a couple of members of the Civil guard. And throughout his wanderings in that infinitely delightful land he will ever be haunted by representatives of that force, which he will come to look upon as the chief guardians of life and property and liberty in this strange, half-Oriental country. From the very start the Spanish corps has had enormous difficulties to grapple with. The country was absolutely lawless when first the Civil guard came into being. They were handicapped by extremes of climate, by huge stretches of roadless and almost trackless country, by the ferocity, ignorance, almost savagery of many of the inhabitants. For a member of the Civil guard to fall in the supremely high standard of duty set before him is considered by his comrades and his rulers as almost impossible. Everything is expected from him. Everything with the rarest exceptions may be expected from him. And his government carries this to its logical conclusion by giving him an absolutely free hand, without which he could not possibly wield the influence essential to the carrying out of his duties. A couple of Civil guards—they are always in couples—often find themselves few amongst many, and then it is that there must be no wavering or hesitation if their enemies show fight. Some of their duties in the mining districts of Spain, and in those parts of the country infested by gypsies, are amongst the most onerous. Especially are they in danger when conducting prisoners across country. A friend of mine who, many years ago, held a post in connection with a mine in a desolate and mountainous part of Spain, told me how a couple of Civil guards nipped in the bud a very unpleasant state of affairs in the village close by. It seemed that a miner, exasperated by some reproof, had drawn his knife on his employer, who had luckily managed to evade him, but had retorted with all the energy a powerful Briton is able to put into a sudden act of self-defense when it merges into retribution. The other miners resented the thrashing their comrade had received. The man himself was handed over to the authorities, and a couple of Civil guards were to conduct him to the nearest town. The way led over the mountains by a wild and lonely track, and the night had to be spent at a rough inn. The innkeeper, by an unlucky chance, was the brother of the prisoner, and when the little company arrived he at once realized the state of affairs and began to plot a rescue. Together with his son, he determined to try and contrive that the prisoner should slip out into the forest by a back door late in the evening, while the conspirators distracted the attention of whichever of the guards was taking the night watch. They professed the greatest hospitality to their uniformed guests, and of course pretended that the prisoner was a total stranger to them. Their plans were well laid, and with the quickness of their race were carried out with considerable smartness. Nor were the opponents only two to two. A hanger-on, none too well disposed to the guardians of law and or- der, was quite willing to use his big knife in the cause of the family, and when the prisoner and his guard found themselves in the passage for a moment before settling down for the night, they were hustled apart, the door close by, within which was the other guard, was locked, and in the sudden darkness as the lamp, seemingly by accident, fell from its bracket, the prisoner slipped out into the open air. But almost at the same moment there was a report, and in an instant a second revolver shot rang out, while the ping of a rifle from the back of the inn proved that the other guard had used his brains as well as his weapon, and dropping through the window to the ground just outside had placed himself near the back door in time to get a good aim at the dark form that could just be seen gliding out of it. The next patrol over that mountain track found the inn tenanted by but two living people, and their comrades instructed them to send the necessary functionaries to remove and inter the bodies, while they remained, a vision of grim destiny, pointing the object lesson that in Spain he who interferes with the duties of the Civil guard must be ever ready to pay the price. The circumstances of the formation of this splendid corps came about as follows: It seems that in 1833 the poet Martilnez de la Rosa was robbed by brigands on a journey between Granada and Madrid. When, in later life, he became a minister under Queen Christina, he bore in mind the perils he had gone through as a wayfarer, and determined to try and make the highways safer in the future. Accordingly he organized a force of 5,000 guards, and equipped them in a uniform not unlike that of the Italian carabineri. They were trained to act both as soldiers and police, and when on foot carried a rifle and revolver; their equipment included also a large and beautifully made sword, and they were when mounted allotted magnificent horses. Their ranks are now recruited from the sons of those who have served with credit, or died by violence, in their country's service. They are educated free in the college of the Civil guards. Any soldier who has served for many years in the regular army, if he can read, and write, is of unblemished character, and of the proper height and build, may volunteer into the Civil guard. When superannuated, he is pensioned or otherwise provided for. The members of "that very noble body of men" are under extremely strict regulations, and so great is their esprit de corps that any backsliding is of the utmost rarity. They are grave and serious in demeanor, but always courteous. "Honor must be the chief object," declares the written regulations of the organization, "and it must be preserved spotless and intact. Once lost, it can never be regained." "Bad language, bad manners, bad habits, and rude words, must never be indulged in by the Civil guards, who must, before speaking, ever consider the honored uniform they wear." MRS. AUBREY LE BLOND.

Every household needs disinfecting and the proper use of the ordinary deodorizers is knowledge that every good housekeeper should have. Not only do these useful things make a house pleasanter to live in, but they also make it healthful. So many good disinfectants are on the market at the present time that there is a wide choice for the careful woman. They are classed under three headings: Disinfectants which purify the water, air, clothes, etc.; antiseptics that arrest putrefaction, and deodorizers that destroy disagreeable smells. Heat, of course, is a powerful disinfectant, and boiling water may be used when it is practicable and possible to reach the spot to be disinfected. When obliterating traces of disease — measles, scarlet fever, typhoid, diphtheria—burn sulphur in the room after stopping all cracks and crevices with newspapers so that it will be airtight. During the illness a sheet saturated with a solution of carbolic acid should be hung over the doorways, even when the doors are shut, to protect the other members of the family from possible contagion. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If the knife and fingers are slightly buttered when seeding raisins the work will be robbed of its stickiness and discomfort. A pinch of salt will make the white of an egg beat quicker, and a pinch of borax in cooked starch will make the clothes stiffer and whiter. Sunshine is destructive to mirrors. It causes the glass to assume a milky appearance, and the mirror will never be so clear again in spite of whatever is done to it. To clean silver trimmings—Cover the surface with well dried and finely powdered magnesia, and let it lie for a couple of hours. Afterward rub in the powder and brush off with a hard brush. In ironing the plait of the back of a shirtwaist, on which the tiny buttons are sewed, try laying it on flannel or a Turkish towel as you do embroidery. The buttons sink in and the material is ironed. A good home-made cement for broken crockery is unslacked lime or plaster of paris mixed with the white of an egg to the consistency of cream. A cement that is practically water proof is made by dissolving ordinary white glue in warm milk. A Canned Peach Dessert Cut staite sponge cake into round pieces an inch thick. Place these in a glass dish and moisten them with the sipur from a can of large half peaches. Place a half peach on each piece with the inside up. Sweeten some whipped cream and flavor it with vanilla. Then blanch some almonds and chop them very fine and add them to the cream. Heap this on each hal. peach. Serve any that remains in a separate dish. Gold on China. An importer of fine china recently said that it is not true that the gold used on modern china has not the good old wearing qualities of the china our grandmothers used to have. The gold decoration on modern china wears off quickly simply because of chemicals used in nearly all kitchens at present. If the housekeeper will use only pure, neutral soap, he says, her gold-decorated china will wear as long as it ever did. Apply Tacks. To distinguish a bottle containing medicine for external use only, as well as poisons, from other liquids and medicines, it is advisable to insert a small brassheaded tack in the top of the cork. This is a better plan than having different colored bottles or glass stoppers. If this plan be used there is no danger of giving a poison for cough medicine in the dark Recipe for Herring Dish. A herring dish brought over from Normandy by a French woman is prepared in this way: A big onion is chopped fine and fried in butter until it is a rich golden brown, but not burned. Then it is removed and six big herrings are put into the pan and cooked. When they are nicely browned, they are arranged on a hot plate with the onions, and a sauce made with salt, pepper and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar cooked together is turned over them. Mustard is passed with them. IN CHILDISH MODES ROUGH STRA MODELS EXCEL LENT FOR SCHOOL WEAR. Require Little Trimming and Can Be Made Attractive by a Few Deft Touches—For the Dresser Occasions. Rough straw models in rolling brim sailor shapes are ideal for school wear; these require no other trimming than a scarf of plain or Roman striped silk, knotted at the side or in back, or simply a crown band of Natural Color Japanese Straw Braid with Brown Taffeta Draped Around the Crown. ribbon in staple colors, declares a writer in Vogue. Sombreros of Mexican braid are equally serviceable, owing to their great durability, and at the same time they are an excellent protection from the rays of sun. For the small lassie there are quaint little caps made of Tuscan, Milah and fine POINTER for Fortunate Possessor of Grandmother's Finery. Nowadays the most unmethodical search in grandmother's trunk cannot fall to reveal some bit of finery which is adapted to the needs of modern styles. Among the most fortunate finds among family heirlooms is one of the soft, clinging, white China shawls, which, with their fringe and their heavy embroidered border, used to drape the drooping shoulders of sentimental maidens of the first half of the past century. These shawls have for some years been in great demand and have brought from $50 to $150. To-day, however, a new use has been discovered for this quaint wrap. Some ingenious dressmaker discovered that if the China shawl were dyed in one of the new shades it might be drooped over the shoulders and thus cupped into one of the tunic shapes which are so universally worn this season. To ner who has no sentimental objections to this conversion the plan provides one of the most graceful and distinguished tunes imaginable. Dotted Nets. There is a craze for this fascinating fabric and the widespread call for it has put the manufacturer on his mettle, and it comes this season better and more substantially made than ever before. One of the shops displays a Brussels net which is recommended as superior in every way. It is closely dotted, the dots measuring a quarter of inch across. This costs $2.10 a yard. Filet net, with a larger and less frequent figure, costs $2.75. Its square mesh is most effective. The Toilet Table Oatmeal in the bath makes the skin soft. Double chins are sometimes caused by resting the head on a very high pillow. For a sharp, tickling throat cough a teaspoonful of honey taken every few minutes is very good. Don't fail to remember that in read- chip straw, with ribbon rosettes in any desired shade; these form a charming frame for a well-rounded little face. The stiff hats with round crown and wide brim are also very attractive as well as serviceable. They are seen in blue, red, tan, brown, etc., and generally made of finely-ribbed Milan, and trimmed in tailor style with silk cord, to which sometimes silk tassels or pompons with quills are added. The trimming of wide ribbon of supple texture is also greatly in favor. There is much that could be said about hats for dressier occasions. The shapes are unusually effective, and of a singularly becoming type. The material employed is frequently Tuscan straw in the shape of flats (the regulation shape with medium sized straight crown, and wide, floppy brim), fine novelties in lace straw, fine Leghorn and Milan, in natural tones, cream or white, hemp and yedda, dyed in pretty shades. Linen braid is also a strong feature in the manufacture of hats. The trimming of these hats may be as simple or ornate as one desires, including the use of flowers, ribbons, lace and various net weaves, used separately or some or all may be employed for the making of one model. Saxon Stockings A practical minded society maiden has discovered that she can save wear on her silk stockings by powdering the inside of her slippers. This simple operation permits the silk and shoe to rub together with decidedly less friction. Another girl who wears exquisitely embroidered stockings with all her party frocks has hit upon a plan that works well with her for preventing holes. She used to wear holes at the back of the heel where the slipper edge cut across. Now all her slippers have a band, not more than half an inch wide, of velvet, the same shade, pasted just within the top of the edge. Holder Can Be Made with Almost Any Handy Material. A useful little article for holding shaving papers, and for hanging by the side or over the post of a looking glass, is shown in our sketch. It consists of a square piece of stout card. SHAVING PAPERS. board, covered smoothly with any pretty material that may be handy and edged with cord. In the lower part she sits through which the shaving papers are pushed, and folded down on either side in such a manner that they can be pulled out one by one as required. The words "shaving papers" are worked in silk on the upper part, and there is a loop of ribbon at the top, by which it may be suspended from the wall. ing the light should come from the right as the book is apt to be held in the left hand. Walking is such a benefit to bent shoulders that the average woman should regain her figure by this means if she holds her head up, throws her shoulders far back and breathes through her nostrils, inhaling the fresh air slowly and easily. The Coat Shirtwaist. This is the very newest thing. As its name suggests, it has the appearance of a coat worn over a vest or shirt front. To produce this effect a double-breasted vest, with a shawl collar, is attached to a stiff chemisette. This design occurs in white butcher linen and the cuffs to the bishop sleeves are often some contrasting shade of linen, which is also used in facing the shawl collar. THE SEARCHLIGHT.

FOR GOVERNOR OF KANSAS, 1908. CHAS. L. DAVIDSON of Sedgwick County. NOTICE TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS. We Give All a Fair Warning to Pay What They Owe and Save We take this means to give all our subscribers in Wichita and elsewhere a fair warning that under the new United States law which went into effect January 1, 1908, WE ARE FORBIDDEN to carry the name of any person on our subscription list and send them our paper through the mall who owes us for one year's subscription or more. It is not our desire to be harsh or unreasonable with anyone—but WE MUST COMPY with the law. So we have made arrangements with a National Newspaper Collecting Agency, and after giving all who are in arrears ample time to pay what they owe we will give their name to this agency to collect the amount due and we will then be forced to publish the names of all those who still owe us on the "newspaper dead beat" list. We do not wish to turn anyone's name over to this Agency or to publish anyone's name in the "dead beat" list—but we must have our money and that at once.

MILLER. Editor. SENATOR LONG. With regard to the senatorship, we are of the opinion that Senator Chester I. Long, our senior senator, has represented well the people of Kansas. His growth and development have been most remarkable, and he measures up well with the leaders of the and able, Kansas will make no mistake in continuing him in this high office. In public and in private life he is above reproach. We, the negroes of Kansas, have a special interest in his re-election. He has worked zealously to secure representation for us. It was he who secured for the negroes of Kansas the highest representative place given to any colored man in the federal government—that of registrar of the treasury of the United States, now held by Dr. W. T. Vernon. His great great speech on the race question, delivered on the 22d of September, 1907, in Kansas City, Kansas, has forever stamped him as one cal- culated at all times to stand for the rights of the negro. It is our duty to do all possible to secure his return to the United States senate. We shall support him most earnestly in his coming campaign. WILLIAM H. TAFT. This man is the choice of the people of our state for president of the United States; his great achievements giving claim to the support of the American people. His father before him was an abolitionist, and a friend of the race. He comes from a long line of ancestry, all of whom have always been insympathy with the nego, and have demonstrated this sympathy by working for our people along all lines. This paper takes the position that no mistake will be made by the support of him. LOCALS —THE RESUME OF THIS WEEK— Send your news notes and local happenings to 601 North Main Street.

I. Jones of the Tabernacle Baptist church, was presented with a fine suit of clothes for Easter by the members of his church. Rev. Jones was highly pleased; feels that he is much loved by his congregation. The suit was presented through the efforts of Mrs. W. C. Nealy, who is a recent addition to that church. Pastor Jones wishes to thank all who donated to the project and is still smiling and giving his people praise. His sermons were highly enjoyed last Sabbath. The Tabernacle Mission Circle met last Monday at the home of Mrs. Mary Bradley and after a very interesting meeting the hostess served a delightful three course luncheon to the members.

Georgian Declares He Is Not a Factor in Political Issues. Washington, April.—In an argument favoring the disfranchisement of the southern negro, Griggs of Georgia in the house declared such disfranchisement necessary to insure white control and the peace and prosperity of the south. "At present," Mr. Griggs said, He is only a menace and a scarcrow—not a factor in determining political issues." In the opinion of Mr. Griggs, there was no danger of the amalgamation of the whites and blacks. There must be perfect submission from the one, he said, and complete control by the other. It is a poor argument of the Southerners that they must disfranchise and browbeat the negro in order to have "white supremacy." The South will never get the negro to "perfect submission" as mentioned by Griggs o. Georgia. FARMERS RECEIVE HIGH PRICES FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS. There are approximately 6000 creameries in the United States, making a total of 500,000,000 pounds of butter annually. The average net price per pound paid farmers for butter fat ranged from 4 to 5 cents higher in 1907 than in 1906. This would indicate an increased return of 20 to 25 million dollars to the patrons for the year just passed. An interesting thing about the creamery business is the fact that 1,800 of the 6,000 creameries are cooperative plants, and the number of cooperative creameries is constantly growing. The greater number of creameries that have gone out of business for one reason or another in the past few years have been the individual creameries, owned by individuals or corporations. Something over a thousand creameries, mainly in the Middle-Northwest, have reported the results of the past year's business to the department of agriculture. These reports are nearly all from sections where the local WOMEN'S CLUB DIRE7CTORY. A concise statement of the Clubs among the colored women of Wichita. Hour of meeting 2:30 to 4:30 p. m.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF SEDG- WICK COUNTY, KANSAS. Emma C. Hodge, Plaintiff, vs. J. O. Hodge, Defendant. PUBLICATION NOTICE. State of Kansas to J. O. Hodge, Greeting: You are hereby notified that you have been sued in the District Court of Sedgwick County, Kansas, by the above named plaintiff, Emma C. Hodge, wherein she prays for a decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony existing between plaintiff and defendant and divorcing plaintiff from said defendant, for costs of this action and for all other and further relief as may be deemed just and equitable in the premises; and that unless you answer said petition on or before the 18th day of May, 1908, or said petition will be taken as true and judgment rendered against you as prayed for therein. EMMA C. HODGE, By Blake & Blake, (Seal.) Her Attorneys. Attest: R. L. Taylor, Clerk. creamery (either cooperative or individual) predominates. Careful estimates have been made from these reports which show that the net price paid farmers for butter fat at these creameries averaged between 28 and 29 cents for the year 1907. The lowest price paid was in June, when the average was between 24 and 25 cents. These prices are true only for the local creamery, which receives its cream or milk direct from farmers' wagons, where there is neither commission to pay for buying cream nor freight or express charges for transporting it to the churning plant. Commission and freight average from 2 to 3 cents per pound. Farmers selling cream to agents who have to ship the cream to distant churning points may expect to receive 2 to 3 cents less per pound for butter fat than prices paid by local creameries. The United States department of Agriculture is desirous of getting additional information concerning the net returns farmers are receiving where, by reason of their location, they are obliged to sell through cream-buying agencies rather than to a local creamery. It is requested that all farmers willing to assist the department of agriculture in securing information on this point will mail to the department at their earliest convenience a report of the net price per pound received by them for butter fat for each month during 1907. If original statement slips giving price per pound can be forwarded, these will be copied and returned upon request. Correspondence should be addressed to the Dairy Division, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Miss Ethel Roosevelt, daughter of President Roosevelt, with characteristic generosity, is teaching a class in the Sabbath school of St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal church, a colored mission of the fashionable St. John's, of which Mrs. Roosevelt is a member. Miss Roosevelt is greatly devoted to her pupils and they fairly idolize her. She is seldom absent from her self elected post of duty, and Rector Mitchell's pretty little church is the object of city-wide interest because of the hearty missionary work this lovely little lady is doing there every Sunday.

Visiting and inspecting these vast accumulations of ice are invariably on the program of the more hardy men and women who seek diversion in that picturesque country, and along with mountain climbing give ample opportunity for adventure and for testing endurance and skill. Recently fears have been expressed that the glaciers would disappear in time, since, as was alleged, they gave strong evidence of melting away. But the scientists have been investigating carefully and the result is comforting assurance that the glaciers are all right, and likely to stay indefinitely. The apparent changes are explained by the fact, as alleged, that glacier action is variable, being subject to periodical changes which cause the icy masses to expand and contract at intervals. The glaciers, say these learned men, may be so extended for a space of 50 years or so as to cover ground from which there had been recession, and then in turn may show plainly perceptible shrinkage. There is not likely to be much variation on the average, and the glaciers are pretty certain to remain permanent features for ages to come. The same principle, says the Troy (N. Y.) Times, applies to some famous glaciers of the western hemisphere, including the mighty Muir glacier of Alaska, and the world bids fair to remain in possession of the present supply of frigidity. Even the ice trust cannot collar all of the product. High Enjoyment. One of the highest and best enjoyments comes through what is done for others. This is believed in theoretically, but seldom practically. If a man has money, he imagines that the way to enjoy it is either to keep and accumulate it or to spend it on personal gratification; yet he misses the very finest of its delights when he refuses to share it or its benefits with others. So with our time, our talents and our thoughts—kept to ourselves, or used simply for our own delectation, they do not give us a tithe of the real enjoyment that they afford when we use them liberally for the benefit of the family, or friends, or the community. No one, remarks the New York Weekly, who has once tasted the sweets of ministering successfully to the happiness of others will, if he be intelligent, ever again relapse into a purely selfish use of his advantages, whatever they may be. Slow Mental Binening Not infrequently those mentalities that ripen the slowest last the longest, and often the history of these great men has been persistent neglect and worldly coldness until 40 or more years have passed before their greatness has been conceded by their contemporaries. Truly, "the life history of a great genius is almost invariably one of a sad and somber tone, a walk apart from the beaten path." Such are the words of one who should know what the "doers of deeds" must endure. Be this as it may, writes W. A. Newman Dorland in the Century, it is now recognized that many of the finest achievements in business, statesmanship, literature and in all activities have been wrought by men long past 60. Writes one: "No strong man will accept 60 as the arbitrary limit of his ambition and working ability." There is, probably, no human faculty that is more in need of faithful and patient cultivation than the judgment, for there is none that has more complications to deal with or more difficulties to overcome. Nevertheless, here is, perhaps, none which receives less systematic discipline, or upon which people are generally less willing to expend labor and thought. They trust their children's memory, exercise their powers of expression, schot them in habits of industry, endure, patience and self-control, but seldom discipline their judgment or teach them how to draw correct conclusions. That, they suppose, says the New York Weekly, is something which the experience will do for them, yet, when they see what hasty opinions ad ill-advised judgments are continually formed by older people, they might infer that some definite education in this respect was necessary for both young and old. They are taking about union and non-union milk. Have the cows been organized? What others are trying to get all they can be cows might like a chance tokk, metaphorically speaking, for moreran mixed into the water. A noted Berlin character has passed away in the person offered Hippolyte Mheles, whose boast was that he had been instrumental preventing more suicides than any other person a the world. KANSAS ITEMS SUMMARY OF WEEK'S HAPPENINGS Hutchinson Boy Shoots Rancher. — A dispatch from Laramie, Wyo., says: "R. B. Kinley, a wealthy sheep raiser of Sheep mountain, was shot in the back and perhaps fatally wounded by Harry Monrose, aged 19, who came here three months ago from Hutchinson, Kan. The men quarreled over wages alleged to be due Monrose. New Kansas Bank, Examiner, comptroller of the currency has pointed J. D. Mossman of Lebanon succeed Frank Burrow, resigns take a bank position at Kansas Mr. Mossman will begin work on Leg Broken in Six Places. — Mossman will continue seriously Auto Man Fined.—I. Zitzerman and G. F. Schaubacher, the men who were charged with frightening a horse belonging to Milo Wilcox, at Burlingame by reckless driving of an automobile were tried in justice court at Burlingame. Zitzerman, as owner of the ma chinechine was fined $15 and costs amounting to about $45. Zitzerman runs a machine shop at Newton Schaubacher is a cattleman, and lives near Sedgwick. For Sending Obscene Letter.-J. C. Willison, an old man living at Winfield, who was indicted by a federal grand jury at Wichita for sending an obscene letter through the mails, was fined $25 and costs by the federal grand jury in session at Topeka. Willison appeared in court and pleaded guilty. Judge West, assistant United States district attorney, recommended him to the mercy of the court. Willison's letter was addressed to his wife with whom he had had some trouble. Fatal Accident For Topeka Men.—Walter Holliday, a resident of Topeka, and an Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe bridge builder, was killed by piles falling on him near Bolling, eight miles from Leavenworth. Meivin W. Harrison, another bridge builder, and also a resident of Topeka, received injuries that may prove fatal. The men were close to a car loaded with piles when stakes broke and the logs fell on them, crushing them. Holliday lived three hours after he was injured. He died at a hospital in Leavenworth. Expects Bumper Crop.—E. J. Smiley, secretary of the Kansas Grain Growers' association, has issued his report on Kansas corn and wheat conditions, as received from grain and elevator men. He ranks wheat at 89.2, or about 3 per cent less than Coburn's report. Smiley says that he just returned from a three week's trip through Kansas and has never seen the prospects for a bumper crop better. Some places, he says, the dry weather has caused slight damage, but he finds little of the Hessian fly or the green bug. K. N. G. Receives New Rifles. — Sixteen tons of death-dealing instruments, worth $4,000, have arrived in Topeka, the loan of Uclean Sam's war department to Gov. Hoch for the Kansas national guard. The consignment consists of 1,280 Springfield magazine rifles, caliber 30; also equipment for the guns; 1,280 front sight covers, 256 screw drivers, 1,280 officers and thong cases, 1,280 brushes and thongs, 1,280 bayonets with new catches, 1,280 seabarbards, 58,000 ball cartridges, 65,000 blank cartridges, 1,260 dummy cartridges — making in all 130,196 pieces. Uncle Sam paid the freight from the Rock Island arsenal — so that Kansas gets $40,000 laid down at its capital doors for nothing. It means exit the Kraig Jorgensen and enter the Springfield. The new gun that the Kansas nation's guardsmen will carry will kill at three miles. It will show daylight through a block of oak, cross-grain cut, of twenty-six inches, at fifty feet—and will perforate fifty-six inches of pine at the same distance. Fire at Norcatur.—The little town of Norcatur was visited by a very disastrous fire which completely wiped out a block of the business houses there. The loss is estimated at $50,000 with insurance $22,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. Largest Grinding Stone.—The largest grinding stone west of the Mississippi river has been installed in the machine works of the Santa Fe shops at Topeka. The gigantic stone stands seven feet high and has a thickness of fourteen inches. It is one of the three largest grindstones in the United States. One is at the Baldwin locomotive works at Philadelphia, the other at Omaha. Prohibition Party Convention. The Prohibition party of Kansas will hold their state convention at Peabody this year, April 29 and 30, at which time, a state ticket will be selected to present to the voters of the party at the general primary in August. The convention will also select delegates to the National convention of the party, which meets at Columbus, Ohio, July 15th. State Treasurer Makes Call. Treasurer Tulley has drew upon the county treasurers of the state for $285,000 to pay the expenses for Kansas for May. Was an Expensive Postal Card. — Joseph Duesing, a country youth, who sent a postal card or a racy character to Mrs. Florence Elmore of Wichita, was fined $50 and cost by the federal grand jury at Topeka. Duesing, who lives in Ford county, mailed the postal at Spearville, Kan. New Kansas Bank Examiner.—The comptroller of the currency has appointed J. D. Mossman of Lebanon, to succeed Frank Burrow, resigned, to take a bank position at Kansas City. Mr. Mossman will begin work on May Leg Broken in Six Places. Miss Maisie Eells was quite seriously hurt in a runaway at Concordia. The horses shied at an automobile, turning the buggy over on the little girl, breaking her leg in six different places. Booms Penitentiary Twine. — Governor Hoch wants to know why the farmers of Kansas do not fall in with his plan and buy their twine from the state penitentiary plant. "What is the matter with them." Hoch says, "Haven't they the backbone of the farmers of Minnesota? They are told that if they buy trust twine everything will go without a hitch. That is a right, but what is to interfere with their buying prison twine. They have a right to. The Minnesota farmers make a success of it. They are not afraid." Condition of Kansas Wheat—Winter wheat in Kansas for 1908, according to the report just issued by F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, averages 91.4 at this time. A total of 6,978,328 acres were planted, of which about 2.4 was plowed up, leaving 6,811,800 acres standing now. The counties averaging 100 or above are in the eastern three tiers, Harper leading with 105. Dry weather in extreme western and northwestern counties and high winds are causing some damage, Mr. Coburn takes his usual "rap" at the calamity workers. His report follows: The winter wheat area of Kansas for 1907 was 7,051,882 acres, or the largest ever recorded. Last November the board's correspondents estimated the area sown for the 1908 crop less by about 1 per cent, and approximating 6,978,328 acres. Of this it is now reported that 2.4 per cent probably will be plowed up, leaving 6,811,800 acres standing, and its present condition averages 91.4 for the state. All the counties credited with conditions of 100 or above are in the eastern three tiers, except Harper, which has an average of 105, the highest. Considerable damage is reported in extreme western and northwestern counties, ascribed chiefly to dry weather and the winds blowing out the wheat, although in sixty-one of the 105 counties none is reported abandoned. None corresponds in possibly a dozen counties make mild mention of the Hessian飞, while reference to the so-called "green bug" is even less frequent and the presence of the chinch bug is suspected by but one reporter. The average condition for the state today is above 91. Two weeks later than this last year it was 84, and the crop 74,000,000 bushels. Two years ago it was 89.5 and we harvested 92,000,000 bushels. Four years ago it was 83.5 and the crop was 65,000,000 bushels. The average April condition for five years prior to this year was 90, and within those years Kansans put in their bliss something more than 400,000,000 bushels of wheat. Persons included to nervousness will do well to constantly carry in mind that our state's unapproachable specialty is hard winter wheat, which, with its firm fall-gained root-hold can survive a dryness of soil early fatal to others less hardy; or, failing to germinate in the fall, can yet make a growth in the spring, and later a yield, which no other variety equals. Winfield Jail Breaker Arrested. J. R. Hawkins, who broke jail at Winfield the night of March 31, after assaulting the jailor. Earl Day, was captured at Garnett and brought back to Winfield. Kansas Officer Shot Down.—Caught off his guard, William Garr, night watchman at Caney, was shot three times and killed by Mark Killion, whose poker room it is alleged the officer raided. No resistance was made at the time of the raid, but later in the evening Killion armed himself and waylaid the marshal as he came out of a restaurant. A number of shots were exchanged between them, but Killion escaped unhurt, Policeman Garr was shot five times, two wounds being mortal. He lived about forty-five minutes after the shooting. After shooting his vistim down Killion hammered him over the head with his pistol until he thought him dead, then taking the marshal's gun, he walked down the street with a gun in each hand, making the crowd stand aside. He was captured and taken to the county jail at Independence. All Were Promoted. — John Smith, secretary of the state tax commission since its organization, nearly a year ago, has resigned to become a national bank examiner. He has been assigned to South Dakota and will move to that state within a short time. Clarence Smith, chief clerk for the tax commission, has been promoted to fill the vacancy and Roy Van Orman of Chanute has been appointed chief clerk. Van Orman resigned as assistant executive clerk and stenographer to Gov. Hoch. LITTLE VISITS WITH UNCLE BY TO HIM THAT MATH I PUT ON D.

Having discovered that instead of being full of ideas, he is merely full of prunes, the critic looks about for whom he can jab. He has learned that it is easier to pull down than to build up—and he tackles the easier job. Like the horse that has been detained, he drags himself up to the judge's stand and blows about the race. A pelter himself, he hopes to distract attention from his own failure by creating a cyclone around the head of the winning horse. Instead of having learned the lesson that it is nobler and sweeter and better to rub noses with his fellow horses, than to injure them, he kicks right and left until he misses something and kicks his leg off! If he cracks a joke at all, it is a joke that shoots a javelin into the breast of somebody. His fund of humor is of the sort that must draw blood in order to make a center shot. He has no realization of humor that makes the world happier and better because it spreads laughter without spreading gore. Unable to attract attention for his own work, he throws the spot light upon himself by maligning a successful rival. The successful rival, hearing a noise at his front gate, goes down to the hitching block, sees the critic, makes up his mind it is a big noise from a little man, and ends up by liking his bull-dog for biting the critic and disgracing the family. Any mule can kick, but it takes a real man to be a humorist. A Wisconsin son eloped with his father's wife. Here, indeed, is a true and dutiful son! A poor man with a large family of daughters should remember that it pays to husband his resources. There is a lot of money in it for the man who will invent a nickel-in-the-slot machine for granting divorces. Some people spend more time telling what they are going to do than in doing it. I am reminded of five young men in New York who were seven months starting a newspaper. During all this time they talked about the publication every day. When the paper finally was issued, it lasted just one week. A friend of mine has the rheumatism and recently felt an attack coming on in the night. Getting up he grabbed a bottle of favorite liniment and gave his legs a thorough massaging, rubbing in the pain killer as long as it would soak into his afflicted pegs. That is, he thought it was his favorite liniment. Next morning he discovered that he had a pair of the most beautifully varnished legs in town. He had used his wife's furniture polish by mistake. THE LIVING ROOM. It Should at All Times Be a "Livable" Room. What to do with the living room is a problem that confronts every housekeeper. The living room should be in fact as well as in name a living room—a livable room. It is the room in which the most of our time at home is spent, the hours we have for leisure, the time we have for play, the place where we entertain our friends and it is absolutely essential that the walls and furnishings of the living room should be harmonious in color, suitable in texture, and durable in material. The rich, soft, solid colored walls are the ideal walls for the living rooms. They make a better back ground for pictures, throw the furniture out in better relief, are less discordant with rugs and carpeting, and indicate a higher degree of taste and culture than do the colored monstrosities which we paste on when we apply wall paper. Who ever saw roses climbing up a plastered wall growing out of a hardwood floor? Yet, that is what we suggest to the imagination when we paste paper covered with roses on our walls. They are neither artistic nor true. Roses are all very beautiful, but they were never made to climb up interior walls and they do not grow from hardwood flooring. The set figures of wall paper are also tiresome and equally disagreeable and repellant. The alabastined wall is the only correct form of a tinted or solid colored wall. Fortunately it is the only clean way, and more fortunately it is the only permanent way; the only way that does not involve the endless labor in the future. In lighting the walls some thought must be given the color. Light colors reflect 85% of the light thrown upon them. Dark colors reflect but 15%. Lighting bills can be saved by choosing a color which will reflect the largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns modify it, and so on, through the scale of colors. The color scheme of a room not only is dependent upon the color of the carpetings but it is also dependent upon the light of the room. HE COULD BE TRUSTED. Youngster "Made Good" Before Tempation Was Put in His Way. A train from the north pulled into the station at Charlottesville, Va. An elderly man thrust his head out of a window of a day coach and summoned a little colored boy. The following colloquy ensued: "Little boy, have you a mother?" "Yassuh." "Are you faithful to your studies?" "Yassuh." "Do you go to Sunday school?" "Yassuh." "Do you say your prayers every night?" "Yassuh." "Can I trust you to do an errand for me?" "Yassuh." "Well, here's five cents to get me a couple of apples."—Success Magazine. CURE AT CITY MISSION. Awful Case of Scabies—Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching—Her Tortures Yield to Cuticura. "A young woman came to our city mission in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies (the itch), incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks but we could see little improvement. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well and gave her a full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and the next day I got a box of Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and shels now strong and well.

SATURDAYS EXCEPTED LYDIA E. PINKHAM MEDICINE CO. This sign is permanently attached to the front of the main building of the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass. What Does This Sign Mean? It means that public inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing about the business which is not "open and aboveboard." It means that a permanent invitation is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs — without drugs? Come and See. Do the women of America continually use as much of it as we are told? Come and See. Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write? Come and See.

Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents? Come and See. Have they proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women? Come and See. This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being benefited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake, be taught confidence, for she also might just as well regain her health. 160 Acre FARMS IN Western Canada FREE What a Settler Can Secure in WESTERN CANADA 160 Acres Grain-Growing Land FREE. 20 to 40 Bushels Wheat to the Acre. 40 to 60 Bushels Grain to the Acre. 35 to 50 Bushels Barley to the Acre.

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.

When a man is trying to go to sleep, he can think of more things that he doesn't want to remember than he could conjure up in six full days of earnest mind rummage. A man may build a beautiful house and furnish it with grand and costly furniture, rugs and pictures, but whether it shall be a home or not depends upon the spirit of those who live there. I lost my watch yesterday, but my wife is going to buy a pound of tea at the department store in a day or two and she has promised to get me another as a premium. Did you see those cute little houses and lots that Sell 'Em Quick & Co. are giving away with a quarter's worth of bologna sausage? ★★★ Birds of a Feather: Last night as I was making the usual break-away dash for the train to carry me to my suburban home, I crossed tangents with two fat men trying to pass each other in a street car door. After a great deal of squeezing, the fat passenger who wanted to alight got past the fat passenger who desired to ride further. When the first fat man had swung to the ground, the second fat man turned to the passengers and said without a smile: "My, but that man was fat!" He seemed lost in wonderment at the laugh which followed. Byron Williams THE PAINTING SEASON. Good results in painting at the least cost depend largely upon the material chosen. Paint is a simple compound and the ingredients can be easily tested. The solid part or pigment should be White Lead. The liquid part should be Linseed Oil. Those best informed on painting always buy these ingredients separately and have their painter mix them fresh for each job. Before the mixing the test is made. Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead on a piece of charcoal or piece of wood. Blow the flame against it and see what it will do. If it is pure White Lead, little drops of bright, pure metallic lead will appear, and with patience the White Lead can be completely reduced to one globule of metallic lead. This is because pure White Lead is made from metallic lead. You may test dozens of other so-called White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead. If they will not change wholly to lead but leave a residue, it is clear that some adulterant is present. If you should have your painting done with such materials, no matter how cheap they might seem, it would be costly in the end. National Lead Company, Woodbridge Building, New York City, are sending on request a blowpipe free to any one about to have painting done, so that the White Lead may be tested. With it will be sent a handsomely printed booklet having as its frontispiece the "Dutch Boy Painter," reproduced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead. PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE. Physician Had Reason to Think He Had Lost His Patient. Henry Grimm, who was formerly one of the prominent members of the German-American society, tells a story about a German friend of his who was taken ill. For many days the German was close to death, but after a time he showed improvement in condition. The doctor told the German's wife that her husband might have anything to eat that he liked. The German expressed a desire for Limburger cheese, and the wife, being a generous woman and pleased at the improvement, and in order that her husband might have a nibble at any time he had a taste for it, put some cheese in every room in the house. It is easy to imagine the aroma. The next morning the doctor called at the house, and as soon as he opened the door he asked: "When did he die?"—Hartford Post. "Do you remember, Jane, 20 years ago, a moonlight night, when I whispered, tenderly: 'Jennie, I love you,' and you answered, passionately: 'John, you nose looks so funny and swollen. Do you suppose something's bitten it?' " Genius is but the habit of seeing more deeply and clearly than most the common things of earth.—De La Ramee. CCFFEE EYES. It Acts Slowly But Frequently Produces Blindness. The curious effect of slow daily poisoning and the gradual building in of disease as a result, is shown in numbers of cases where the eyes are affected by coffee. A case in point will illustrate: A lady in Oswego, Mont, experienced a slow but sure disease settling upon her eyes in the form of increasing weakness and shooting pains with wavy, dancing lines of light, so vivid that nothing else could be seen for minutes at a time. She says: "This gradual failure of sight alarmed me and I naturally began a very earnest quest for the cause. About this time I was told that coffee poisoning sometimes took that form, and while I didn't believe that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I concluded to quit it and see. "I took up Postum Food Coffee in spite of the jokes of Husband whose experience with one cup at a neighbor's was unsatisfactory. Well, I made Postum stricly according to directions, boiling it a little longer, because of our high altitude. The result was charming. I have now used Postum in place of coffee for about 3 months and my eyes are well, never paining me or showing any weakness. I know to a certainty that the cause of the trouble was coffee and the cure was in quitting it and building up the nervous system on Postum, for that was absolutely the only change I made in diet and I took no medicine. "My nursing baby has been kept in a perfectly healthy state since I have used Postum. "Mr. ——, a friend, discarded coffee and took on Postum to see if he could be rid of his dyspepsia and frequent headaches. The change produced a most remarkable improvement quickly." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. THE CALL OF THE SOIL. DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK A staff contributor of a southern newspaper has taken up the question of the return to the farm of many who had forsaken it for the glitter of the city. He says: "It is a well known fact that the history of this Government shows that those men who have been most successful in life and who have left their impress upon its people and its institutions as statesmen, soldiers, financiers—have as a rule been those whose youth was spent on the farm, and it is to such as these that there comes with overmastering power THE CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially does it come with redoubled persuasiveness, greater power and sweeter pleading to the man of affairs when the clouds of financial unrest begin to darken the sky; when the cry of panic causes people to lose their wits and act like stamped cattle; when with reason or without reason there arises before him the specter of ruin, grinning in his face and waving its gaunt arms in threatening gesticulation. The pitiful state into which some men were brought by the recent financial flurry, which happily is now passed, suggests these reflections. Some were ruined and a very few became insane because of their losses. Two or three took their own lives. It is when such times come that the statesman, the great financier, and the man of affairs becomes tired of the struggle. He lays down his pen, turns from his desk and listens to the CALL OF THE SOIL. There are hundreds of cases throughout the United States of those who have money in the banks and are looking for investment in lands. No investment is better or safer. Take, for instance, the lands in Western Canada that can be bought at from $10 to $15 per acre which yield a revenue equal to and often greater than their original cost. Those lands make a certain investment. During the past two months large investments in these lands have been made, some intending to use the lands for farming purposes of their own. Others to resell to farmer friends. The agents of the Government of Canada located at different points throughout the United States have in their possession particulars of districts in which there are free homestead grants of 160 acres each accessible to railways, markets, schools, churches, &c. These are valuable lands. These agents will be pleased to give information to any desirous of securing, and will tell all about the railway rates, &c. Maintaining His Dignity. Even the elevator boy had to draw the line somewhere, to prevent his being made too common. A writer in the New York Evening Post tells of a recent experience with one of the fraternity. "If any one calls, Percy, while I am out, tell him to wait. I shall be right back," she said to the apartment house elevator boy. There was no answer. "Did you hear me? Why don't you answer?" asked the woman, with some heat. "I never answers, ma'am, unless I doesn't hear, and then I says 'What?'" Important to Mothers.

Simmons, San Antonio, Texas: Dear Sir—Yours at hand. I would like to have called at the office when I came back, but it was Sunday and I took the train for home. I was on your 95,000-acre ranch three days. I found it much better than I expected. I am satisfied in my own mind that with proper wind breaks, as we have in this country, oranges, lemons, apricots, figs, olives and almonds can be successfully grown there. I am sure that south of San Antonio is the natural home of the English walnut. The soil on your land is much better for fruit raising than it is in this country, because you have a good red clay subsoil, while in Southern California we have gravel and rock that does not hold moisture. We have to irrigate here at least ten times a year and continually work the orchards, but I don't think this would be necessary on your land in South Texas, at least not so much of it, because the red clay will hold moisture and will give the fruit a better flavor. Orange orchards in this country are worth from $500 to $1,000, and walnuts from $200 to $500 per acre. I think south of San Antonio to the Gulf is a better country than from Los Angeles, Cal., to San Diego, Cal., because the soil is better, there is more water and the climate is just as good so far as I could see and hear by talking to old settlers, and the land is so cheap that every working man should have a home. I am sure that in the near future South Texas will be a prosperous fruit growing country and will be as valuable as Southern California, and the man who will lose money in South Texas is the man that does not go in on this cheap land of yours before it is all gone. A man that has lived in Southern California as long as I have can see the future of South Texas. Respectfully A. J.
