While Trying to Lynch Negro—Four Whites Struck by Lightning, Drop Dead — Negro Escapes. Brookhaven. Miss.—While trying to reach Bob Jones, a Negro, lightning struck and killed four white men, who were at the end of the rope ready to bring the Negro to a telegraph pole. The Negro was charged with assaulting a white woman. He was taken from jail at 6 p.m. Monday. When the mob reached the place designated a cloud arose and lightning began to flash, resulting in the killing of four white men instantly. The Negro escaped. NEGRO ODD FELLOWS IN PARADE Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America Honor Its Founder's A Negro, Memory. New York—Five thousand members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America participated on Memorial Day, May 30, in the largest parade of Negroes ever held in New York City. The parade was in honor of the memory of Peter Ogden, an American organist who founded the order in 1843. England the order includes many prominent native Englishmen in its membership. Organized the first lodge, Philadelphia. No. 646, in New York, and parade in his memory was the year's first public celebration.

Sunday evening a banquet was held in the Hotel Maceo. The grand marshal of the parade was H. S. Pickenpack, and his aids were William T. Hooper and Moses E. Williams. MARSHALL CITY COURT. In another column we present the announcement of Mr. J. D. Simpson who is a candidate for the nomination of Marshall of the City Court subject to the republican primaries on Aug. 4th. Mr. Simpson is a most excellent gentleman and well fitted to fill the office to which he aspires. He is an Ohioan by birth of the abolitionist type who judge men by merit and not by nationality or color. He has been a resident of Wichita for eight years coming here from Sumner county where he was clerk of the District Court, a position re filled with entire credit. He is one of the very few staunch republicans of the Abraham Lincoln type of the present day. In Mr. Simpson the colored people, as well as others, will find a true friend. Vote for J. D. Simpson for Marshall City Court. WIL HAVE PICNIC. The Dunson Bay Band will give a picnic at South Riverside park on Saturday, July 4th, at which they plan to have a high old time. Among the amusements will be base ball, foot ball, bicycle races and many other events of interest. THE COUNCIL'S ACTION. We feel that the city council of Wichita are to be commended in their repeal of those burdensome, child-like, so-called "pet" ordinances of Wichita's petticoat mayor. It is high time that some steps be taken to put an end to the reckless manner in which the present administration is plunging the people of Wichita into needless debt. While we believe in the strict enforcement of the prohibitory law as well as all other laws—yet we are of the opinion that as this is a state law it is the duty of the state and county officials and not th' city officials to see to its enforcement. The farciclial proceedings which have been witnessed in Wichita for the past few months has been a grand stand play to the galleries to the disgrace as well as expense of the tax payers of our city. Now that the enforcement of this law has been placed where it belongs every citizen should lend his aid to the proper officers in helping to see that the law is enforced to the very letter. The Tabernacle Baptist church has organized a choir and is making other preparations to entertain the associations in September. There is no man in Kansas who has a more statewide acquaintance than has Judge Jewett and no man is more abreast of the real needs of Kansas, and especially Sedgwick county, than has he. Coming to Kansas in the early 70's he has from the day he landed, taken an interesting part in the real making of Kansas. With Judge Jewett in the legislature Sedgwick county will have the valued advantage of his wide experience. JUDGE E. B. JEWETT. Among the fortunate things of the coming August 4 primaries will be the opportunity of the republicans of the 71st legislative district to name Judge Edward B. Jewett as their candidate for the legislature from that district. Judge Jewett is a "drafted" candidate—the people recognizing his fitness at this time selected him to make the race for the nomination. NEWTON NOTES AND NEWS The bright and lovly countenance of the Lord is still smiling upon us. Yet some are dissatisfied with him. We are thankful and glad to know that He doth still love us and that He can be touched with our infirmities. All He does is done for man's good and His glory. Let us not chide, but praise. The glorious rains in these parts leaves vegetation in fine shape. The missionary and sewing circle of the Second Baptist church have been very successful the past few weeks, making and disposing of aprons, caps and bonnets, and are also urging and looking forward to their big rally the 21st of this month. Much credit is due Mrs. Liggins for the grand entertainment given the circle the last lunch day. The lunch was all that could be desired. The ladies of the N. U. G. Club held a very entertaining session at the home of Mrs. Ridleys. This being the last meeting before the closing of the club season. Quotations: "We Part" were a rare treat. The different members did not fail to play their part quoting and also at the beautiful table richly spread with dainties. The hostess and feast are held in high appreciation by all. Mr. P. Coleman, though a widower, entertains a warm place in his heart for the circle. His door stands ajar and he bids them welcome. The closing season of the N. U. G. Club for the Club season were very recently held at the home of Mrs. H. Neely's. The following officers were installed for the ensuing club season. Mrs. A. L. Ford, Pres.; Mrs. W. H. Erevely, V. Pres.; Mrs. H. Neely, Sec'y.; Mrs. Will Coleman, Asst. Sec'y.; Mrs. John Anderson, Treas.; Mrs. J. Lawson, Re- were a very grand affair. The club ladies were at their best. The program though short, was neat and rendered as follows: Song by the Club; Prayer was offered by Mrs. Will Slaughter; opening address, Pres. Mrs. A. L. Ford; response, Mrs. John Anderson; solo Mrs. Geo. Payne; recitation, Mrs. Marporter. The reception and banquet tin; paper, "The Influence of Women's Clubs." Mrs. H. Petree; recitation, Mrs. M. Childs; "Qquestion Box." Mrs. S. Dickerson and Mrs. Will Coleman; "Trio" Mrs. Neely, Mrs. Coleman and Reevely. Toastmistress, Mrs. John Lawson. The invited guests present were Mrs. Faulkner, Mrs. Goree, Miss Callie Anderson, Mrs. Frame, Mrs. Tandy, Mrs. Rev. McClaim, Mrs. Clarence Paige, Mrs. J. Roach, Mrs. Hall Mrs. A. Roach, Mrs. Broiles, Mrs. Quiller Coleman of Topeka. A four course luncheon was served. "Maxim," we part at this meeting with regret and hope to meet again Sept. 1st, Monday with pleasure. The B. Y. U. P. entertainment committee is to be congratulated for their persistence and success in the entertainment given at the Rainey Hotel last Tuesday night. Mrs. Phelps was chairman and Miss Esther Garnett collector. Rev. W. H. Garnett and Miss Letha Underwood were delegates to the Union and Board meeting at Larned last week. The Mission Circle met at the home of Mrs. Phelps last Thursday afternoon. All were well pleased with their first meeting in this home. The sermon at the Second Baptist church last Sunday morning was impressive. A glorious meeting followed. MRS. WALLACE DEAD. Mrs. Pearl Wallace, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew E. Pierce, 1426 N. Mosly, died at her jate home in Lawrence last Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Wallace was the wife of Absolom Wallace of Lawrence, Kansas. The deceased was a native Kansan, having been born in Kansas City, Wyandotte county, Kansas, Sept. 1, 1882, and was, therefore, 25 years, 9 months and 12 days old at the time of her death. She was a good christian and a member of the Christian church of Lawrence. She was also a member of the Household Ruth and the Daughters of the Tabernacle. Cause of death, acute indigestion. She leaves a mother and father, a husband, one daughter, Eugene, grothers and sisters and many friends. Funeral services were held in Lawrence Monday at the A. M. E. church, and the body brought to Wichita on Tuesday for burial. ELIMINATING THE NEGRO The fact that the Republican National convention being pulled off in Chicago this week has by far less Negro delegates than any Republican National convention since the civil war proves quite conclusively that the white republicans of this nation are quietly joining hands with the white democrat to shut the Negro from the political arena. There is no use in the Negro leaders attempting to explain this fact away or to make a vain effort at theorizing the facts—the Negro just as well make up to the bold facts that where his interests are at stake as against or in connection with those of the American white man the difference between a white republican and a white democrat is in name only—with very, very few exceptions. If this state of political osticism continues it is impossible to guess the end. Has the republican party and their latter-day leaders tired of the Negro and are they now attempting to "freeze" the Negro from their ranks? Editor of the Boston Transcript Says Absence of Negro Is Symptomatic. Chicago, June 17.—(Special.) This is a white man's convention. The "lily white" delegations of the South were, as a rule, seated, and this cut out "black and tans." In commenting upon it Robert L. O'Brien, editor of the Boston Transcript, which is strong in the faith for the rights of the Negro, said today: "This is the whitest republican convention since the Civil war. The small number of colored delegates admitted will be the subject of considerable comment before the campaign is over, not only by the colored people themselves, but by their friends of abolitionist antecedents. There is something pathetic almosts in the position of the Negro in this convention. Formerly, while he had little to do with the election, he was quite a factor at the convention; it was his one day of political prominence. The view of the delegates as seen from the platform, in the old conventions, was striking by reason of its cloud of dark faces over great sections of the hall. "But this is symptomatic of the times. It marks the declining influence of the black man in American politics." The Cooking Club met with Mrs. Bert Glover, 702 N. Market. The four course diner was served by Mrs. W. H. Jones, Mrs. Ed Miller, Mrs. Will H. Jones. The tables were beautifully decorated with daisies, green smilax and blue ribbon. The ladies were guided to their seats by plate carde. The menu was: Chilled fruit. Creamed chicken. New potatoes, New peas, Pine apples, Marshmallows, White cake, Marble cake, Vanilla ice cream. The vistors were Mrs. Davis, Atchison; Mrs. G. G. Brown, Mrs. Geo. Hubbard, Kansas City, Kans.; Mrs. J. F. C. Taylor, Mrs. Grant Ewing, Mrs. A. Glover, Mrs. Frank Childs, Miss Mary Brown, Kansas City, Kans.; Mrs. Robson, St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. Geo. Hubbard, of Kansas City, Kans., won the prize, a beautiful sunflower apron. Card of Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Giles wish to thank their many friends for their kindness during her recent illness. Horner for Sheriff. In another column we present the name of Chas. F. Horner for the nomination as sheriff. Mr. Horner has been a resident of Sedgwick county since 1872, and during that time has always taken a keen interest in the republican party. He was the republican candidate two years ago and although he made a splendid fight, fate was against the entire republican ticket, most of which went down in defeat, taking Mr. Horner with it. He now aspires for another chance, ON TO ATCHISON—THE CRY. There is great activity in the circle of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. From every section of Kansas-Nebraska jurisdiction comes the report of great preparations being made to attend the session of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle which will meet in Atchison, Kansas, July 14th, 1908. The session this year will be the most memorable in the history of the order and while it will show a most phenomenal financial and numerical increase, it will also be very conspicuous for the absence of some of these who, in past years have added life, energy and vim to each past session. They have crossed the mysterious divide, from which no traveler ever returns, and this session must be held without them. It teaches a solemn lesson that while the order is advancing, so is the reaper, Death, culling our loved ones. The reports are inspiring and the Temple and Tabernacle are viling one with the other to have the better reports for the session. All on to Atchison. NO 14. LIGHT FOR SUMMER HIGH TIME TO DISCARD HEAVY DRAPERIES. Cotton or Silk Fabrics Most Cool and Cheerful in Appearance—Calcutta Net Also Used Extensively in Many Ways. Heavy draperies should be replaced by lighter weight cotton or silk fabrics that are cool and cheerful in appearance. Curtains of Calcutta net are reasonable and suitable for various purposes. The net comes in all colors and in several meshes. It is 48 inches wide and 50 cents a yard. The green and tan shades are good. The white and ercu wash well, and to avoid shrinking, pull it gently into shape when nearly dry. Calcutta net is also used extensively for den and living-room pillows. The cushions first have a slip of a plain color and over this a cover of the net in a suitable shade. This gives a lattice effect to the pillows which is quite pleasing. Then there are silkolines, taffetas, soft silks and dimities, as well as denims and cretonnes. Silkolines are soft and pretty, but are most too flimsy for satisfactory curtains. Scrim increases in popularity and great improvement in weaves has been accomplished the past few years. Linen taffeta is very popular, and burlap is particularly well adapted for stencil effects, and is available for walls as well as draperies. Dimity lauders well and can therefore be kept fresh and clean. Priscilla silk, coming in every shade at 90 cents a yard, can be used with cream Calcutta net to give color tone to a room. This silk resembles the heavier raw silk used for draperies, but which costs $1.50 a yard. The silk curtains should hang straight down, and not reach more than four inches below the window. Many prefer curtains only to the sill, but allowance must then be made for shrinkage of the washable under curtain, as at all times both net and silk curtains should be the same length. Of course the domestic and imported cretonnes are handsomer each year and still lead in cotton fabrics for hangings and furniture coverings. Exquisite designs in domestic cretonne can be had as low as 28 cents a yard, and are shown side by side with the imported, which retail from 30 cents to $3.50 a yard. The higher-priced imported cretonnes are double width. The demand this season is for the single width grades, which cost from 30 to 50 cents a yard. As over draperies, cretonnes are effective. They should not be hung next to the glass, for they will fade rapidly. Plain net or scrim, between them and the light, protects the draperies. Some of the large shop windows are showing the effect of a room done entirely in cretonne. Where it is employed lavishly, there is danger in overdoing it. This season the cretonne in floral pattern is preferred, and although blue, mauve and pale yellow are in demand, pinks and reds are used to a greater extent.—N. Y. Post. Calf's Foot Jelly. To four calf's feet, carefully scraped and prepared, allow about two quarts of water and boll about seven hours, skimming well. When done, set aside to congeal, then remove all the grease. From the four feet there should be about three pints and a half of jelly. Pour on this one quart of sherry, the juice of six lemons, a pound and a half of granulated sugar, the thinly-peeled yellow rind of two lemons, one bunch of raisins and two blades of mace. Wash eight eggs clean, beat the whites to a froth and crush the shells. Put with the jelly. Set on fire, stir until the jelly is melted, then remove the spoon. Let boil just 20 minutes from the time it commences to bolt. Pour into a coarse cotton bag and drain. If not perfectly clear, repeat the straining until transparent. When You Forget Flavoring. When baking a layer cake, if you have forgotten the flavoring, put a few drops on the layers, cover it with a pan and place in the oven. It will penetrate, the cake and the flavor will be as evenly distributed as if baked in the cake. A Common Claim. Every chronic office-holder claims that he could make more money if he had the heart to quit serving the public and go into business for himself. 4 W. N.

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. A SUCCESS. The tenth anniversary of the Searchlight at aGrfield hall, Monday night, June 15, was a success from a financial point of view. Owing to the very threatening weather the crowd was not all it would have been, but those who came enjoyed the splendid program and good music. Rev. Dr. W. H. Tillman the matchless speaker and educator, was master of ceremonies and acquitted himself in a most charming manner. Master John D. Jones read a paper written by Miss Lulu Covington on behalf of the G. L. A. Club, subject, "The Afro-American Press." which was full of timely thought. The piano duett by Miss Mamie Richardson and Miss Ethel Patton was captivating and proved both young ladies expert piano manipulators. Hon. H. W. Marshall spoke from the subject "Possibilities of the Negro Press," and his speech was pleasing and appreciated. Dr. A. K. Lawrence, the unequalled clarinetist, favored the audience with a clarinet solo, with Miss Mamie Richardson as accompanist. Dr. Lawrence was loudly encoured and repeated by request. Mrs. L. H. White on behalf of the W. T. Vernon club made an inspiring talk on "Our Club's History" which was filled with many wholesome remarks. The program was completed with a most opportune speech by Hon. Thos. Glover, which dealt at length upon the "Duty of the Negro to His Press." His speech was well taken and attentively listened to from beginning to end. The management of the Searchlight wishes to thank all those who came out and those who lent us their aid in making the affair a success to each of them we owe a deep sense of gratitude.

Vice Presidentia’ Situation a Puzzle at Chicago. Chicago, June 17.—The vice presi- dential situation continued Monday to maintain {ts puzzling position, It has presented a new aspect for almost every hour of the day, but at no time has it shown a disposition to become less complicated. Senator Dolliver has Monday, as for some time past, been the center of the complication and it is generally admitted that there will be no solution until he is either nominated or entire: ly eliminated from the equatfon, In the early hours of the morning it looked as if the Iowa senator was out of the race, but when, soon afterward, the news came from Washington that there had been a declaration from the White House that the candidate for the second place must come from Jowa the boom was given a renewal of life and the senator's friends were willing to say his nomination was assured. ‘The Washington rews was apparent: ly without effect on the Iowa friends of Senator Dolliver, who do not want him to accept a place on the ticket and they refused to attach much sig- nificance to the Washington pro- nowncement, The Dolliver boomers gave just as little heed to a letter of their favorite in which he authorized the delegation to withdraw his name if it should be presented. All told, therefore, the developments in the Dolliver candidacy were not sat- isfactory and it was generally con- ceded that Senator Long, who is still the champion of the Iowa senator, had spoken correctly when he expressed the opinion that time would be neces sary to solve the Dolliver problem. The announcement that the prest- dent would ask that Gov. Cummins be nominated if Senator Dolliver should not be, aroused interest, but the mem bers of the Allison-Dolliver faction would not for a moment consider this contingency. \ if Senator Dolliver should be elimi. nated the contest as now presented would He between Vice President Fairbanks and Representative Sher man of New York, and both received much encouragement during the day. It was stated on behalf of Mr. Fair- banks that if nominated he would not accept. MODERN WOODMEN IN SESSION. A Million Members the Mark Reached by the Insurance Order.

TEXT OF THE FIVE FORMULATED BY THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY TAFT, THEY ARE ALL VERY STRONG FOR REFORM Resolutions on Trusts, Anti-Injunction, Railroad Rate, Tariff and Currency as Drafted by Wade H. Ellis—These Planks May Be Changed by the Re- publican Nationa! Convention. | Chicago, June 17.—The five most im. Chicago, June 16—The five most im- portant planks of the Republican plat- form, formulated by President Roose- velt and Secretary Taft and drafted by Wade H. Ellis, attorney general of Ohio, and now in the possession of prospective members of the resolu. tions committee of the national con- vention for consideration, are hereby given: ‘They are the planks on trusts, antl- injunction, railroad rate, tariff revision and currency, The trust plank is as follows: “The Republican party passed the Sherman anti-trust law over Demo- cratic opposition and inforced it after Democratic dereliction. It bas been a wholesome instrument for good in the hands of a wise and fearless adminis- tration, But experience has shown that its effectiveness ean be strength- ened and its real objects better at- tained by such amendments as will give to the federal government greater Supervision and control over, and s@ eure greater publicity in the manage- ment of that class of interstate corpor- ations having power and opportunity to effect monopolies and at the same time will interfere with the existence of associations among business men, farmers and Wage earners so long as their conduet or operation results in a positive benefit to the public.” The exact text of the plank relating to railroads Is as follows: “We approve the enactmsnt of a railroad rate Jaw and a vigorous in- forcement of the present administra- tion of the statutes against rebates and discrimmation asa result of which the advantages formerly possessed by the large over the smail shipper have substantially disappeared. In this con- nection we commend the appropri ation of $350,000 by the present con- gress in order to enable the Interstate Commerce commission to thoroughly investigate and give publicity to the enunsel of interstate roads. “We believe, however, that the in- terstate commerce law should be farther amended so as to give rail- roads the right to make and publish traffie agreements subject to the ap- proval of the commission, but main- taining always the principle of eom- petition between naturally competing lines and avoiding the common con- trol of such lines by any means what- soever and we specially favor the enactment of such legislation as will provide for federal _ restriction against the oyer-issue of stocks and bonds by interstate carriers.” More or less serious inaccuraey has characterized the reputed textual pub- lications of the plank relating to the tariff. The exact text of that plank, as well as of the plank concerning anti-injunction legislation, follows: “The Republican party declares uc equivocally for a reviston of the tarift by a special session of congress im- mediately following the inauguration of the next president and commends the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the appropriate committees of the two houses, which are now investigating the operation and effect of existing schedules. In all tariff legislation the true principle of protection is best maintained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, to- gether with a reasonable profit to American indusiries and the benefits that follow are best secured by the establishment of maximum and mini- mum rates which shall be applied au- tomatically to the trade of other coun- tries in accordance with their treat- ment of our trade, The minimum should represent the normal measure of protection required for the benefit of our own industries. The aim and purpose of the Republican policy is not only to preserve, without excess- ive duties that security against foreign competition to which American manu- facturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high standard of living of the wage-earners of tifs country who are the most di- rect beneficiaries of the protective system. Between the United States and the Philippines we have in a free interchange of products with such limitations as to sugar and tobacco as will avoid injury to domestic in- terests. “We declare for such an amendment of the statutes of procedure in the federal courts with respect to the use of the writ of injunction as will on the one hand prevent the summary is- sue of such orders without proper con- sideration and on the other will pre- serve undiminished the power of courts to inforce their process to the end that justice may be done at all times and td all parties.” ‘The currency plank contains this language: / “The Republican party approves the HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA. Dread Disease Robbed of Its Terrors by Simple Remedy. Owing to the prevalence of pnew- monia and the great mortality which attends its ravages during the winter and spring, several, boards of health in northern New Jersey have been tak- ing measures to protect the citizens of their towns from the disease. ‘The health board of Washington, N. J., has Published a remedy which is said to be a sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the same thing published for the good of the general public. This is the pub- lication as it has appeared in the pa- pers of Washington: “Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vine- gar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let- ting it simmer five or ten minutes. ‘Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never,failed to cure this too-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but con- tinue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest.

J. C. BURROWS TEMPORARY CAAIRMAN First Cheers for Taft Came When the Ohio Delegation Arrived With the Secretary's Picture—Getting Past the Doorkeepers Was a Hard Job Unless One Was Properly Equipped. Chicago, June 17.—The Republican national convention was called to order at 12:15 o'clock Tuesday by Chairman New. After the invocation by Archbishop Muldoon Senator Burrows was introduced and delivered the "key note" sneeck. While the delegates were still making their way to their seats Chairman Harry S. New of the national convention and Senator Burrows, the temporary chairman, appeared on the platform and took their places. There was no demonstration. Many widely known public men and politicians entered likewise while the crowds and delegates were busy making for seats and escaped the confusion usually attendant upon the appearance of notables in public gatherings. In this manner it was almost 12:15 o'clock when Chairman New went forward to the central table and rapped for order. The hall had hardly begun to subside from the tumult of the scramble for seats when the Ohio delegation with ex-Gov. Herrick, Charles P. Taft and Arthur I. Vorys at its head, entered the hall bearing a large Taft banner. As the delegation moved down the hall towards its reserved seats the hall began to cheer both for Taft and for Herrick. Chairman New was immediately followed by Bishop Muldoon, who said the opening prayer of the convention. Immediately afterward Chairman New read the call for the convention and the body went to work. It required something besides a knock on the door to enter the big Coliseum and see the Republican party in convention assembled Tuesday. If you had a long green ticket, knock on the door to enter the big bore the steel engraved picture of Abraham Lincoln, and said that it was only for the first day, the stony-faced doorkeepers might consider your application for admission, and eventually you were permitted to pass through the portals and enter the auditorium. At 11 o'clock the martial music of approaching marching clubs could be heard, and during the next hour there was continuous moving of processions toward the hall. The United States senators, representatives, governors and national committee men had to find the side doors. An hour before the convention began work there were 10,000 persons gathered about the Coliseum and every moment the crowd increased until it was difficult to even reach the entrance. Chairman New's first utterance was: "The secretary will make an announcement." Secretary Malloy advanced to the front and read the call for the convention. At the conclusion of the reading of the call of the convention there was some applause. Chairman New announced that the national committee had recommended Senator J. C. Burrows of Michigan for temporary chairman. Senator Burrows was warmly received as he stepped to the front of the platform extension arranged for the use of speakers. He bowed his acknowledgements and began his "key note" address at just 12:34 o'clock. Senator Burrows's opening words were spoken in a modulat 1 but distinct tone. He constantly referred to the printed copy of his speech. He had been speaking about six minutes when he came to the first mention of President Roosevelt. At once, a demonstration began. Several delegates jumped up on chairs and waved their hats, calling upon others to do likewise. North Carolina Texas, West Virginia and Alabama led the cheering, while the applause was general on the floor and in the balcony. The cheering lasted nearly two minutes. Senator Burrows, in resuming mentioned Fairbank's name and there was a round of applause. The name of Abraham Lincoln was received with general but brief hand-clapping. Chicago, June 17.—The injunction plank of the tentative Republican platform looms up as the subject of the big fight of the convention. The preparation for the contest has been going on unconditionally for two days and nights, and the lines are now rapidly closing up for the supreme test of strength. Those who favor the plank are more convinced of its supreme necessity for its incorporation in the platform, while those who oppose it are making every preparation to carry the struggle to the floor of the convention in the event of failure to eliminate the plank in the resolutions committee. The postal savings bank plank will be vigorously opposed by the banking interests. On all of these propositions, the plan now is to open doors of the sub-committee for the presentation of facts on these subjects.

C., where he will spend at least three or four months. The publication in the Havana papers of dispatches from New York and Mexico to the effect that preparations are being made for an insurrection in Cuba excite much comment, but little credence is given to the reports. At a cost of about $400,000 just appropriated by the national congress of Mexico the republic is to have her first coaling station at the port of Manzanillo, on the Pacific coast. Both houses approved the contract and President Díaz has signed the act.

Little Girl's Remark Not Complimen tary to Grandma. Ethel is of the mature age of five. Recently her grandmother concluded that it devolved on her to instruct the child in religious matters. "You must be a good girl, Ethel," she said. "Then you will go to heaven when you die." Ethel seemed scarcely pleased with this reward for exceptional conduct. "Don't you want to go to heaven?" asked grandma, with a look of reproach. "Oh, I don't know," temporized Ethel. "I guess not." "Why not?" demanded grandma, severely. "Because maybe I couldn't get out," answered Ethel. "You wouldn't want to get out," replied grandma. "Oh, yes, I should," returned Ethel, with conviction. "No," argued grandma, "you would not. Why should you want to get out of heaven?" "Why," answered Ethel, "I guess I'd want to go and see you once in a while, wouldn't I?"—Woman's Home Companion. SOUNDS FAMILIAR. "The End of a Long Life." Water. Water. Everywhere. Water, Water, Everywhere. During the flood of 1903 an old darky living in the East bottoms awoke one morning to find his premises four feet under water. Later he was found by a party of rescuers walking about the yard prodding into the ground with a fishing pole. He was asked his purpose. "Good gracious, men," said he, "what do you think Ah am a-doin'? Ah am tryin' to find mah dog-goned well so Ah can git mahself a pail of watah." Severe Reproach "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "I had a dream about a race horse that won three times in succession." "Great Scott," answered her husband, who has a touch of superstition; "what was its name, what did it look like? "I've done my best to remember, but I can't." "That's the way! There never was a woman who could be relied on to keep her head in business matters!" "TWO TOPERS." A Teacher's Experience. "My friends call me 'The Postum Preacher,'" writes a Minn. school teacher, "because I preach the gospel of Postum everywhere I go, and have been the means of liberating many 'coffee-pot slaves.' "I don't care what they call me so long as I can help others to see what they lose by sticking to coffee, and can show them the way to steady nerves, clear brain and general good health by using Postum. "While a school girl I drank coffee and had fits of trembling and went through a siege of nervous prostration, which took me three years to rally from. "Mother coaxed me to use Postum, but I thought coffee would give me strength. So things went, and when I married I found my husband and I were both coffee toppers, and I can sympathize with a drunkard who tries to leave off his cups. "At last in sheer desperation I bought a package of Postum, followed directions about boiling it, served it with good cream, and asked my husband how he liked the coffee. "We each drank three cups apiece, and what a satisfied feeling it left. Our conversion has lasted several years and will continue as long as we live, for it has made us new—nerves are steady, appetites good, sleep sound and refreshing." "There's a Reason."

Send your order to-day 329 East Center BALINA, KANSAS Lim Jucklin on Gambling By Opie Read "A love for gamblin' was born about the time that human nature first opened its eyes. A disposition to steal somethin' was born just a few moments before, but a man may gamble and not be a thief. There is such a thing as an honest gambler—that is, a gambler who is willing to give a man a fair chance—to lose his money. The gambler wants your money, and it ain't much trouble for him to accommodate his conscience as to the way he gets it. If he is sharper than you are he compliments himself with the fact that he understands his business, and every man that has a trade likes to know its details better than the other man does." Thus spoke old Limuel to a few friends who were gathered about the fireside in the Jucklein home. The wind was howling and the snow, like shredded sheets, was flying past the windows. "But you don't believe that all gamblers are thieves?" remarked old man Brizintine. "I said I didn't. But there ain't nothin' that will strain a man's honesty more than gamblin' will." "That's been preached on many a time," Brizintine spoke up. "But I never gambled in my life, and—" "And you don't know just how far you are honest," Lim broke in. "I don't know that I understand you." "Didn't think you did," replied Jucklin. "But I can explain. The man that gambles has more temptations to steal than any other man. When he has lost everything a strong resentment arises against life. It is almost impossible for him to believe that he has been fairly beaten, and if he is broad enough to acknowledge this he then questions Fate for her one-sidedness. He wants to know what right she's got to discriminate so against him. "Unfortunately for man, work was put on him as a curse. The fact is, it ennobles him, but he accepted it as a curse. And when his brother has committed a crime, not grave enough to hang him, he says: 'I will sentence you to work.' In the olden times a man that worked wan't respected as much as the highwayman. They hanged the robber, it is true, but they respected him more than they did the man that handled the hoe. And the gambler is a sort of social highwayman. I don't say he is a bad felter. In many instances he persuades himself to believe that his profession is right. He puts up his money, takes chances, and if he wins he has come by the money as honestly as if he had dug in the ground for it—he thinks. And as long as he wins he may be honest. But his principles undergo a change when he begins to lose. Then he can't help feelin' that he is giving 'the other feller too much show. When he has lost all he must have money in order to carry on his business. Suppose he is employed to collect money—suppose he is in a bank. If he refrains from takin' money to gamble with he is honest—desperately honest, you might say. And he may refrain day after, day—for years; but some day he may find himself weak. This weakness may consist of an overconfidence in self—in an overabundance of hope, in a faith that he will win and can pay back. Right there he is gone. Think you are strong enough to stand such a temptation as that, Brother Brizintine?" "I would not use any man's money," Briziniine answered. "I surely have sense enough to know what is my own, and knowing what is not my own I have honestly enough not to take it." "Yes," replied Jucklin, "and what you have said is the answer that nine out of ten men would make—and honestly, too. But the fact is, you don't know." "What! do you mean to say I don't know whether or not I'm honest?" "I mean just what I say—you don't know. It is all very well for the untrusted man to believe himself strong, but unless he has been severely tried he does not know." "Do you know. Brother Jucklin?" "Do you know, Brother Juckin?" "Well, I'll tell you just how far I know. Many years ago I was workin' at a mill that took in a good deal of money. Finally they gave me charge of it. Along about that time a party of us used to meet two or three times a week to play a social game of poker. It got to be so sociable that it kept me broke. I knew that it was largely a game of luck and that the cards would break even after awhile, and that may be true, in the long run, but the run is too long. In the course of a thousand years they might have broke even, but as it was, they broke with just enough promise to hold me tied in fascination to the game. I began to borrow money—and it took all of my wages to pay it back. One night I went over to meet the boys. I didn't have a cent of my own, and I wouldn't have gone if I hadn't thought that some one would lend me enough to get into the game. But everyone hemmed and hawed and spoke of the extreme need for money, of hard times and the like—the very men who had week after week got all of my wages. Just then it flashed across me that in my pocket were more than a hundred dollars belongin' I've Been Thinking By Charles Battell Loomis to the mill. With this amount as a backin' I felt sure that I could win back some of the money I had lost. It was perfectly plain—I could do it. At some stage of the game I had nearly always been ahead, but wouldn't quit. But why couldn't I quit? The other fellers jumped, and with my money. Why couldn't I do the same? I broke out in a sweat. I strove to bring up arguments against my sitting in the game and couldn't. Luck whispered that it was with me, and it didn't seem possible that I could lose. Never before had I felt so strongly that it was my night. I arose and walked up and down the room. I could hear my blood singin'. I turned and looked at the boys, each one with an expression of eagerness on his face. I felt myself superior to him. I could beat them. There they sat, completely within the power of my skill and my luck. I could win enough to pay back the money that I owed, and with my wages I could buy clothes—and I needed 'em. Suddenly I rushed out of the house, and I ran—ran all the way to the home of the mill owner—snatched his money out of my pocket and gave it to him. I told him what I had gone through with, and he turned pale and took hold of the mantelpiece to steady himself. 'My son,' said he, 'I have been all along there, only I didn't run away—until afterward. They caught me and brought me back, and it was only by the grace of—of human nature that I didn't go to the penitentiary." In the company there were three HILD—Papa, what is a New Yorker?

A New Yorker may be a Chinaman from Pell street, or a Polish Jew from Rivington street, or a Syrian from Washington street, or an Italian from the Italian quarter, or a Greek or Jap or Swede or any nationality at all, provided he lives in New York city. Child—Well, suppose a Russian C lives in Brooklyn. Papa—He is a New Yorker. Child—Well, if a Portuguese lived in the Bronx? Papa—He would be a New Yorker. Of course, my child, in a large sense, all inhabitants of the state of New York are New Yorkers, but, generally speaking, by the term New Yorker is meant one who lives in the city of New York, and that is why a Chinaman out on Staten island is a New Yorker. Child—Papa, does a man have to be a foreigner in order to live in New York? Papa—What a question, my child. Of course not. There are many living in New York whose native language is English. Child—Oh, they, were born there? Papa—Not necessarily. Some were born in Great Britain and Ireland and some in the British possessions, but they all speak English and they live in New York and are New Yorkers. Child—Then, if I understand you aright, my dear father, a man who lives in New York and who speaks English must have been born either in Great Britain, Ireland, or somewhere in the British possessions. Papa—Not at all. There are native Americans who speak English and who live in New York. Child—And where are they from? Child—And where are they from. Papa—Some were born in New England, some on the Pacific coast, some in the middle west and some in the south. Child—Then they are the real New Yorkers. Papa—Not necessarily. Any man who lives in New York for any length of time becomes a New Yorker, no matter where he may have been born. When he travels he registers from New York. Child—Is it in the air? Papa—It is in the air. The westerner despises New York until he has made a fortune, and then he comes to New York to spend it, and after that he is a New Yorker. The southerner who has come to New York to live may say that he was born in the south, and if he doesn't his tongue will do it for him, but he glories in being a citizen of New York. The New Englander feels that he has honored New York by coming to it and that without him New York would not amount to much, but he, too, signs young fellows. The old man's recital had moved them. "And did you play again, Uncle Lim?" one of them inquired. "No, I didn't. And although it may appear narrow in me, but let me say that a playin' card can't come into my house. In itself a deck of cards is innocent enough, and $\textcircled{2}$ is a bottle of licker if you don't drink it. It is true, though, so far as my experience counts, that nearly every gambler begins in a social way, without any thought of becomin' one. Very few of them set out with the aim to make gamblin' their profession. Take hosses, for instance. Nearly all men like a fossh—like to see him run. They develop a judgment as to the runin' qualities of a hoss and finally are willin' to back it up with money. Whose business is it? The money belongs to them and was honestly earned. Understand, now, I ain't a preachin' a moral sermon for I willin' fitted for that. I just want to talk in a human nature sort of way for the benefit of these boys. Don't bet on anything. That's the safest plan. If there's no fun in goin' to hoss races unless you bet, don't go." But haven't you bet on rosters: old Brizintine inquired, looking wise. "Well, I have seen the feathers fly from the wrong chicken," Lim answered. "And if I have bet, and have seen the evil of it, I am all the fitter to talk to these young chaps. Boys, if you don't want to be on trial all your life, don't bet on anything." (Copyright, by Opie Read.) his name in the register as from New York. Child—Well, papa, you have told me about foreigners who were New Yorkers, and about English-speaking people who were New Yorkers and about Americans who were New Yorkers, but I want to know if there couldn't be a more perfect kind of New Yorker than any of these—one who was born in New York and who spoke English? Papa—Why, yes, my child; there are thousands born in New York who speak English. They are hard and fast New Yorkers. Their parents were Germans and Italians and Frenchmen and Jews and Greeks, but they were born in New York and they speak English. Child—Then, papa, they are the real New Yorkers, aren't they? Papa—Well, I believe that they are considered to be the most patriotic New Yorkers because their New Yorkism is so new; but, my child, in this city of which we are speaking, this city of nearly 4,000,000 inhabitants, there is a little class, without much influence, to be sure, but still self-respecting and respected by others, a mere handful, it is true, but a very intelligent handful. Child—And who are they, papa? Papa—they, my child, are the native American New Yorkers, whose parents and grandparents and great-grandparents, to the third and fourth generation, were born and brought up in New York. Child—And who always spoke English? Papa—Well, no. They spoke Dutch originally, but they have spoken English longer than the majority of the rest. Those are the real New Yorkers. Child—I never heard of them. Where do they keep themselves? Papa—One of them is the president of the United States. Child—Oh, yes, of course. So he is a Simon-pure New Yorker? Papa—Well, no; come to think of it, he isn't, because I believe his mother was a southerner. Child—Well, do the Simon-pure New Yorkers sign their names as from New York? Papa—Yes, my boy, they do, and they would like to be able to sign in a special colored ink to make it more emphatic. Child—Well, papa, I suppose that if they could have kept out the foreigners and the English-speaking aliens and the Yankees and the southerners and the westerners, and just left New York for the real born and bred New Yorkers, New York would be even greater than it is? Papa—No, no, my boy. No city ever gets to the top of the pile unaided. It is because of all these people who have come in to show New York how to misgovern itself that she is the greatest city on the western hemisphere and is destined to be the greatest city that the sun ever shone upon. Child—And what will become of the Child—And what will become of the real New York New Yorkers? Papa—They will disappear after a while. Child—Why, papa? Papa—Because it is getting to be the fashion to be born in the count;y Child—Oh! (Copyright, by James Pott & Co.)

Board Across the Eyes Will Curse Them, It Is Said. Pieces of tin four inches wide and about eight inches long with four holes punched in the upper edges were tied in the ears of two hogs who were Cure for the Chicken Eater. In the habit of catching and eating chickens and proved an effective hindrance. The hogs wearing this device were able to see enough to eat and drink, but were obliged to refrain from indulging in their favorite pastime. Right Kind of Draft Horses. In the breeding of horses for the city the kind should be bred that can be used in the work of ordinary teaming, for in this is the greatest demand. This is especially true of the larger horses. The medium-sized draft horse may be bred to do work on the farm. He is particularly well adapted to the large farms where heavy farm machinery is now used in place of the lighter kinds formerly in use.
