The Republican national convention met in Chicago—has nominated William H. Taft for the presidency of the United States; has adjourned, and now a matter of history. it had been conceded for several days prior to the meeting of thata convention in Chicago that Mr. Taft would be its nominee, and now that it is the nominee the question is be- asked on all sides: "Can Taft be elected?" This, of course, is a question beyond the proper answering of the average human mind, but one fact is undisputed, that if the election of Mr. Taft is accomplished it will require the most strenuous effort and impact political management ever witnessed in American politics, and were the election held today it is an ambled fact that Mr. Taft would be most overwhelmingly defeated. In the session of the recent Republican national convention in Chicago, in its colors and in its final results, the American Negro must take a finely finished microscope to find any comfort or any consideration. In no Republican national convention since the Civil war has the Negro played so very small a part as in the recent Chicago convention. The Chicago convention makes a new epoch in Republican party politics by proving, by action, most conclusively, that the Republican party under its new management approves of the "White South" pronounced advocated by Tillman, Gildman, Tom Dixson, etc., etc. It proves that at heart the new Republicans are with the southern Democrat in the Democratic tirade against the Negro and his progress. As a bufferer-intended to "line the Neesup for Taft"—the committee on resolutions inserted a few meaningless words in this wise: The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American Negro. gave him freedom and citizenship; wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, prosperity and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more and without reservation for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution which were designed for the protection and advancements of the Neer and we condemn all devices that were for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as fait, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." The last session of congress, composed of a Republican house of representatives, a Republican senate, with Republican president, absolutely an qualifiedly refused to enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution, and even went so far as to refuse to enact into law one solitary measure within their power which would tend to ameliorate the very people whom they so strongly—seemingly—would defend in their resolutions. It is high time that the American Negro would awake and look about him, and if he does he will find that in the later political days, so far as the Negro is concerned, the difference in the working of the respective parties is merely in name. With by far less Negro delegates than in any Republican national convention since the Civil war, with the national committee completed without one Negro member, for the first time since the Civil war; with the adjournment of a Republican congress with no measure of relief for the Negro; with the constant growth of the "Lily White" Republican north, south, east and west, and with a Republican president and a Republican presidential nominee who brand unconvicted Negro soldiers as "mildnight assassins," and "cold blooded fiends," when the president nor the presidential nominee, with all the government machinery at their command had been unable to find one point on which to base their claim as made; with these things and many others, we frankly admit that it makes the cold chills run down the back of the Negro who reads as he runs. As the forthcoming campaign approaches, the American Negro finds himself face to face with a political situation never before witnessed. The Negro is truly and surely between the "devil and the deep blue sea." To vote the Democratic ticket is to humbly kiss the hand that has always smote us, and to vote the present Republican ticket as enunciated from Chicago, is to submissively "grin" and help strengthen the men who now kick us good and hard. There is a lethargy and lack of enthusiasm for the Republican national ticket of 1908 among the Negroes that has never before been witnessed in American politics, and the Chicago convention left nearly eleven millions of American citizens who had always heretofore been loyal to the party in a state of bewilderdness. How far and how long this condition will obtain is $ \alpha $ matter of pure conjecture. In the meantime all will wait developments. RISE AND PROGRESS OF THE ORDER Being An Address Delivered By Dr. R. C. Hayden at the Annual Sermon Exercises, K. C. K. Master Ceremonies, Sir Chief M's, Chief Preceptress, Officers and members of the International Order of Twelve, Ladies and Gentlemen: Through the Divine guidance of Him who rules the destiny of men and na- tions, we have been permitted to assemble ourselves for another annual sermon. We have passed one more mile stone of our splendid success. When we take a retrospective view of the past seventeen years of our excellent progress, the years come before us as a pleasant vision and our hearts pulsate with joy and pride. When we see ourselves and our leaders filled with that bouyant spirit and ambition, launching out on the dark and unknown future, like an untried ship making her maiden voyage into unknown waters, I say unknown waters, for I am reminded of the fact, that we are one of the strongest orders in existence today, that lays claim to having been organized and being distinctively a Negro organization. and sincere, he has gone about his duties with the desire uppermost in his mind, his acts and his deeds to conduct the business of the county on the most economical basis consistent with the best interests of the taxpayers. Recognizing his value and his wide experience, the board has twice selected him as their chairman. No voter can make a mistake by voting for S. B. Kernan for county commissioner. SENATOR STEWART A CANDIDATE In another column we present the name of State Senator James H. Stewart for re-nomination at the Aug 4th primaries. Senator Stewart is one of Sedgwick county's most substantial citizens—a man of intelligence, integrity and thoroughly interested in have the accounted by it seemation of for the Taft a now seized very colored power. "New ana we bounded between cratic male York in swing didate, If one should doubt this assertion take time to investigate the financial conditions; the promptness of this order in behalf of its beneficiarys. The good this order is doing for the Negro race from a social, benevolent, and united stand point, they will readily concede that the assertion is a true one. We are proud of the fact that this is the work of our own hands. The question is no longer asked, "Can Negroes be organized?" The question is no longer asked, "Can Negroes succeed in organization?" We have proved all these questions in the affirmative. I will now read you a few statistics of our financial progress drawn from the annals of our history. We have a hall in Salina, Kans.; hall in North Topeka; one in South Topeka; hall in Lawrence, Kans.; hall in Aatchison; hall in Ft. Scott, Kans.; a park in Leavenworth; a lot in Parsons, and a lot in Coffeyville. The value of our property is $35,000.00. We pay our endowment in full and sooner than any other order. We are proud of our ladies department and glory in their excellent progress, and we feel as Debora felt, "the honor of our progress and victory is rightfully given to a woman." Oh! it makes the blood chill in our veins when we realize that we represent those armed warriors who defended Jerusalem when the great Temple was destroyed and the Jews Babylon, where they remained under bondage far 72 years, until Cyrus, the King of Persia restored them to their liberty and ordered them to return and rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem. We are proud to see the congenial spirit that exist between the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, for we are cognizant of the fact, that of all people the Negro should be united with those fraternal chains that knows no weakening and put on the whole armor for it seems that race prejudice in this country determined to fit the warp ignorance and wool of disease in the loom of civic oppression in such a manner that time shall weave the windings chief of the Negro race. I am proud to be one of the many young that belong to this noble order. Now dear old veterans kindly consider and instruct us far we are to be the Knights of Tabor when you have peacefully gone to rest and united your membership with the great and Grand Temple above where God shall be the G. C. M. And to the young men: We can not pend our nights in debauchery and our days in drowsiness if we wish to keep up the pace of progress that our predecessors have laid before us. But we are compelled to spend our nights in meditation and rest, and our days in industry if we would not let the Flag of Tabor trail in the dust. VOTE FOR KERNAN. Sedgwick county has been most peculiarly fortunate in its selection of county commissioners, and at this time Sedgwick county has one of the most satisfactory board of county commissioners which she has ever had. As one of the present splendid board of county commissioners, Mr. S. B. Kernan, who is a candidate for his second term from the second commissioner district, has proven a valuable member. Being a man of integrity, honest and sincere, he has gone about his duties with the desire uppermost in his mind, his acts and his deeds to conduct the business of the county on the most economical basis consistent with the best interests of the taxpayers. Recognizing his value and his wide experience, the board has twice selected him as their chairman. No voter can make a mistake by voting for S. B. Kernan for county commissioner. SENATOR STEWART A CANDIDATE In another column we present the name of State Senator James H. Stewart for re-nomination at the Aug 4th primaries. Senator Stewart is one of Sedgwick county's most substantial citizens—a man of intelligence, integrity and thoroughly interested in every measure which has for its object a benefit to Wichita and Sedgwick county. It is conceded by all that in the discharge of his duties Senator Stewart has been painstaking, honest, and sincere and in his advocacy for measures in the legislative halls—has not been moved by a hope of reward or a fear of criticism, but has stood firm in his effort to accomplish greater things for greater Wichita and bounteous Sedgwick county. No man has ever been so fortunate to be honored as a senator, either state or national, whose views or whose advocates of every measure has met with the approval of all his constituencies, and none ever will be elected so constituted and in this regard no reasonable man could expect Senator Stewart record as state senator far surpasses in material and beneficial results shown the record of any previous state senator ever elected from this county and it is due him for the honesty, faithfulness and sincerity with which he has filled his office that he be given his re-nomination and election. His large business interests, his very comfortable and creditable financial standing places him above the things which at times detracts the attention of legislators and leads them astray to the detriment of their constituents, and in this regard and others Sedgwickcounty is fortunate in him as their senatorial representative. He has filled the office with credit and general satisfaction and is now better prepared to work for a greater commercial industrial and business Wichita and Sedgwick county. ANDERSON FOR COUNTY CLERK We are delighted to present to our many readers the name of Edward Anderson, of Morton township, for the nomination for County Clerk, subject to the Republican primaries, August 4th. Mr. Anderson has been a resident of Sedgwick county for the past thirty years and although he has never before aspired for political office, he has always taken a keen interest in the success of the Republican party. He is one of the very few candidates from the country who now aspire for political honors, and his wide acquaintance, his complete fitness and his ability to add strength to the Republican ticket this fall, should be a most valued incentive to give him the party nomination, August 4. It is quite evident that some of the Republican candidates must come from the country and the party will make no mistake in selecting Edward Anderson as one of these candidates. NEGRO VOTE. The Influence of the Negro Vote in Presidential Eelections Receiving More Attention This Year Than Ever Before. The influence of the Negro vote in presidential elections has received more attention this year than ever before. Speaking upon this interesting topic, the Washington Post says: "If the Negro vote had gone over from Harrison to Cleveland in 1888, Cleveland would have been elected. It is doubtful if the colored-vote would have turned subsequent elections, on account of the large majorities received by McKinley and Roosevelt. But it seems to be conceded that the election of 1908 will not be a walk-over for the candidate of either party. If Taft and Bryan are the nominees, as now seems probable, the race may be very close, and it is possible that the colored voter will hold the balance of power. "New York Connecticut and Indiana would hardly be classed as rockbound Republican states, under normal conditions. New York alternated between a Republican and a Democratic majority for years. The Negro male population of voting age in New York in 1900 was 31,425. If this should swing away from the Republican candidate, he would be under a very heavy handicap. McKinley and Roosevelt would have been elected if every Negro had voted for Bryan and Parker. Could Taft do equally well? "In Ohio there were 31,235 Negroes of voting age in 1900. If they had gone against McKinley in 1896, he would have lost the state, since his majority was only 51,000. Roosevelt received the phenominal majority of 256,000 in Ohio. He could have dispensed with the colored vote. There are now supposed to be about 50,000 colored voters in the state, and a Democrat was elected Governor. Could a Republican candidate opposed by all the colored voters, and with local complications favoring the Democrats, overcome such a handicap? "There were 17,186 Negroes of voting age in Indiana in 1900, and in 1896 McKinley carried the state by about that figure. If the Negroes of that state were Republicans and had switched to Bryan, McKinley would have lost the state. Roosevelt's majority over Parker was large enough to have overcome a complete Negro disaffection. "The Negro vote of Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware was required by McKinley in 1896 in order to carry those states. If the Negro voters of those states should refuse to support the Republican ticket in 1908, it is possible that they could throw them into the Democratic column. There are about 30,000 Negro voters in Illinois, and if they are Republicans, it means that they could impose a handicap of 60,000 votes on the Republican nominee. "If the two parties should be running neck and neck this summer and fall, it is well within the possibilities that the colored voter will have the deciding vote." HAWKS IN THE RACE. Ex-Police Judge Sidney S. Hawks announces in another column of this issue his candidacy for the nomination for County Attorney on the republican ticket subject, of course, to the vote of the primaries, Aug. 4th. Judge Hawks needs little, or no introduction to the people of Wichita among whom he has been associating for many years. As police judge during former Mayor Ross' last term of office Judge Hawks established for himself a record which of itself suffices to recommend his efficiency. As a practicing lawyer before the Sedgwick county bar he has a legal standing of no mean proportions and readily places him as a most capable lawyer and one well qualified to represent Sedgwick county in her legal affairs most credibly. If nominated for county attorney Judge Hawks will prove a most valuable number on the republican ticket this fall in winning a most signal and splendid victory. GROVER CLEBELAND DEAD. Ex-President Grover Cleveland died at his home in Princeton, N. J., Tuesday of this week. Mr. Cleveland was twice Democratic president of the United States. NO 14. The Tramp and the Railroad. We have the idea that our American railroads kill many passengers. Yet almost ten trespassers are killed to every passenger killed. We believe that the trainman takes his life in his hands; yet more than twice as many trespassers annually sustain fatal accidents, says Orlando F. Lewis in the Atlantic. When we read that in five years 23,974 trespassers were killed by railroads, and 25,236 trespassers injured, we wonder that there should be left living a single Jack the Hobo to wash his shirt. In these five years there were more trespassers killed than there are inhabitants in Bangor Me, or Burlington, Vt. Were this army of the dead lying but three feet apart along the trackside in ghastly regularity, they would stretch out for nearly 14 miles. At a brisk walk, it would take four hours to reach the end of the line. And then, were all those reported injured in the last five years lying but three feet apart, we should be obliged to walk for more than four hours more, before we reached the end of this second line. The Baltimore & Ohio representative said that many railroads maintain private "tramp graveyards," in which are buried many of the unknown dead, without inquest and with expedition. Question: How many city graveyards could be annually filled with the unrecorded, unreported vagrant dead? One who was drawn as a juryman in Brooklyn asked to be excused from duty on the ground that "the present method of juggling the law" seemed to him to be a waste of the juror's time. The judge retorted, "You are not fit to be a citizen, much less qualified to serve as a juror." Most people will agree with the judge, because although the juror as a citizen has a right to his opinion on court methods and the administration of the law, he was wrong in offering that opinion as a reason for objecting to do citizen's duty. That a man believes the existing method of taxation to be wrong does not excuse him from paying his own taxes. A congressman may hold that a declaration of war is immoral and vote against it, says the Youths' Companion, but he cannot on that account regard himself as exempt from military service. A most noble and stimulating discussion of these problems will be found in a recent book by Prof. Josiah Royce, "The Philosophy of Loyalty," wherein a man's duty to his own beliefs is held to be subordinate to his duty to beliefs which are greater than the individual. The unfounded report that the ameer of Afghanistan had been assassinated by his tribesmen probably grew out of the fact that the ameer is unpopular with some of the Moslem tribes over whom he tries to rule. This unpopularity grows chiefly out of his fondness for European fashions in the matter of dress. For example, he frequently wears a plug hat on state occasions, and that sort of headgear is so abomination unto the tribesmen. When the Afghans say their prayers they must do so with bare feet and with their heads covered, and their foreheads must touch the ground. The brim of the plug hat, as well as the crown, interferes with this attitude of devotion. Hence the ameer's seeming apostasy. Trade and scientific journals, as well as newspapers throughout the country are quoting what a local manufacturer of Detroit, Mich., has to say about the development of the automobile industry. He gives a large share of the credit to the rich buyer of the early motors, who bought the crude product at fancy prices and spent his money tinkering and improving it. He kept mum about its weaknesses instead of exploiting them. "Instead of knocking he boosted even when he had very little to boost." The rich not only placed their money where it would help development, but actually suggested some of the best improvements that have been made. They made possible the manufacturing of good cars.

MILLER, Editor. TABOR ANNUAL SERMON. Was a Most Pronounced and Marked Success. Every Feature Grand. The annual sermon of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor of Wichita, which was held at the Second Baptist church last Sunday, was a most phenomenal success. The procession formed at Covington's hall, and, headed by Dunson's Boy Band, marched two and two to the church with Sir W. J. Johnson as drill master. At the church the order filed in and the servise were opened by a few very appropriate remarks by Sir Dr. Grant G. Brown, who was master of ceremonies. In this capacity Dr. Brown came up to the standard of excellence and acquitted himself in a most satisfactory manner. The master of ceremonies then introduced Rev. Sir M. Wooten, presiding elder of the Wichita district of the A. M. E. church, who preached the annual sermon, taking for his text Judges IV:8: "If thou will go with me, then I will go." In an eloquent, learned and captivating sermon Rev. Sir Wooten held his vast audience spellbound in close attention. He gave the history of Tabor from the biblical origin, following it with its present beginning and step by step he unravelled the unequalled progress which the Order of Twelve has made. He paid a glowing tribute to the noble men and women of the Negro race who by their wise foresight founded this noble order, and speaking of the Kansas-Nebraska jurisdiction he point- ed out in bold relief the unselfish work being accomplished and which has already been accomplished in the Kansas-Nebraska jurisdiction under the matchless leadership of our own faithful Chief Grand Mentor, Sir Rev. Frank Wilson and our most valuable Chief Grand Preceetress, Dtr. Emma Gaines. He gave figures and data which most conclusively demonstrated that the Order of Twelve is marching onward and upward in their victorious and triumphant labor for a more noble order, a grander race and a higher standard of humanity. In fact the whole was one solid success. POLITICAL- ANNOUNCEMENTS. REPUBLICAN. JUDGE OF CITY COURT.

A bitter and disgusted wall has gone up from the farmers of the United States in regard to the miserable quality of the wire fence they are obliged to use. So writes Rene Bache in the Technical World Magazine. They can hardly get along without it, but it is most unsatisfactory by reason of the rapidity with which it is destroyed by rust. Of course, this means to them much trouble and expense, and they have been making a good deal of a row about the matter, even appealing to the government, for help. In response to this agitation, the secretary of agriculture, Mr. James Wilson, some time ago, ordered a special investigation to be made, the task being handed over to Dr. Allerton S Cushman. Since then the inquiry has been earnestly pushed, and many things have been learned which had not previously been suspected—especially in relation to the true cause of the rusting of iron and steel, which is very different from what has always been popularly supposed. The writer goes on to describe the methods adopted for improving the quality of wire and for guarding it against rust. Great crowds follow Countess Grecheng about when she appears in Budapest, " rubbering," as one might say in America, at the richest woman in the world. The count affects to be sore, but, suggests the Chicago Daily News, maybe he is pleased to know that his countrymen appreciate his taste in beauty and dollars. We are apt to hear much about the vulgarity of Americans when they crowd round the entrance of a church in New York to get a glimpse at the performers when native money and a foreign title are being united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Budapest appears to be composed of about the same kind of people. It is a pretty safe bet that human nature is much the same the world over. The ordinary human being wants to see whatever is being talked about. If Countess Gladys will walk down the street to market every day and carry home a basket of eggs on her arm very soon no one will notice her except the man who wants to get her trade. America has offended some of its profoundest European critics by its arrogate optimism. What an American philosopher calls the religion of healthy-mindedness flourishes in this country more 'han in any other; our determined good cheer and faith in prosperity make the sad-eyed world make its wise head. The same critics will no doubt find another example of our incorrigible shallowness in the National Prosperity association, recently formed in St. Louis, and will think its motto, "Give us a rest and sunshine," hopelessly silly. But underneath this campaign of optimism, says the Youths' Companion, is some hard American business sense, and boards of trade and other business organizations all over the country have joined in an application of mind-cure to the financial depression. A woman borrowed eggs of a neighbor when eggs were at 24 cents a dozen. She returned the eggs, the same number, when the price had fallen to 12 cents. The question is, has she paid her neighborly debt? This problem is said to be vexing a Kansas town, and the settlement of it involves a great principle. Shall the borrower of a cup of molasses, a table-spoonful of butter, a hod of coal return the loan in kind and quantity, or feature the equivalent in the market price? The satisfactory answer is that repayment should be made before the market has time to shift. But the controversy will not arise if there is no borrowing. The first woman to practice law in this country was Margaret Brent. Lord Baltimore, then governor of Maryland, asked the legislature that she be appointed executor of her relatives' estate. One of the learned members said that it were better that the estate be lost than a woman appear to make an argument before them. Margaret Brent, however won her case. A few years after the civil war, when Mrs. Carrie B. Kilgore applied for admission to the law department of the University of Pennsylvania, she was told by the then dean that "when niggers and women are admitted to the law school he would resign." A Berlin college professor is asking for information from the rest of the world as to how long a dream lasts. Which depends on the length of the dream, something on the alarm clock and more on the fiendish tin-horn toot- The farmers are not nearly so vicious against the automobile as they need to be. Besides, as they are run from time to time, there are not nearly so many of them. KANSAS ITEMS Kansas Postmasters to Meet.—The date of the meeting of the Kansas Postmasters' Association has been changed to July 20 and 21, at Chanuate, Kan. The change was made on account of floods and bad railroad connections. Baby Drowns in a Stock Tank.—The 14-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Harrold was drowned in a large stock tank on the parents' farm near Hoxle. The child climbed upon the side of the tank and, becoming unbalanced, fell into the water. He was dead when taken from the water. Calls for Bank Statements.—John QQ. Royce, state bank commissioner, has issued a call for statements showing the condition of all state banks in Kansas. The last previous call was March 31. The call on national banks in Kansas was made a month ago. New "Gym." for State Normal.—The ground will be broken about August 1 for the new $75,000 gymnasium of the State Normal at Emporia. The contract has not been let, but the plans have been approved by the board of regents. The building will be 208 feet long, 66 and 88 feet wide, and four stories in height. Child Is Drowned in Tub.—While the mother was hanging out the family washing, the child of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Lewis, seven miles west on Temple, was drowned by falling into a tub of water. The mother hears no screams and did not know of the accident till she returned to the house. The child was dead when she found it. No Name Can Appear Twice.—Attorney General Fred S. Jackson has handed down an opinion holding that under the primary election law no name can appear on the ballot more than once. This opinion was rendered in answer to an inquiry as to whether or not a man could be a candidate for a county or township office and for precinct committeeman. Under the new law a precinct committeeman is a public officer. Killed by Lightning in Home.—Miss Stella Dunton, a school teacher, aged 26, was killed by lightning in her home five miles southwest of Lebanon. Her mother, who was downstairs, was severely stunned. Miss Dunton had just received a life certificate to teach and had been engaged to conduct the Lincoln schools of Concordia, Kas., as principal for the coming year. Eighty-one New Doctors.—At the recent examination held by the Kansas medical board of registration and examination in Kansas City, Kan., 85 per cent of the applicants for state licenses were successful. The members of the board are T. P. Hatfield, president; R. A. Light of Chanute secretary; E. P. Packer, Osage City; G. L. Millington, Wellington; O. F. Lewis, Girard; C. F. Raing, Concordia; J. G. Johnson, Lakin. Eighty-one men passed the examination successfully. Thread Trust Puts Down Price. Because the thread trust was afraid of Attorney General Fred Jackson and his trust busting reputation the State Board of Control bought thread for the nine state charitable institutions over ten cents a dozen spools cheaper than it could six months ago. At least this is the explanation made to the board recently by several representatives of wholesale houses. They said that heretofore they had been unable to make low bids because of the threat of the combine that it would not furnish thread to the wholesale houses. Six months ago the board paid 61 cents a dozen for thread. It bought all it wanted the other day at 49 cents. She Commits Suicide.—Mrs. W. H. Miller, wife of a farmer living two and a quarter miles south of Neal, in Greenwood county, committed suicide by hanging. She left the house about 5 o'clock and when she did not return at 6 o'clock a search was instituted. Her body was found suspended from a rafter in the hay loft of the barn. Worry caused by continued ill health is supposed to have prompted the deed. Mrs. Miller was about 35 years old and leaves a husband and one small child. children's throats had been cut and they had been stabbed in the heart, and Mr. Good's body was cut in various places. Circumstances indicated that the children had died without a struggle and probably never knew what happened to them. Mr. Good's wife died May 29, and it is supposed that grief over her loss and financial troubles had unbalanced his mind. He had been acting rather strangely ever since her death and had made several remarks which indicated a very despondent frame of mind. Th children were Elsie, aged 9; Wesley, aged 7; and Ruth, aged 4 years. Object to "Jim Crow" Cars.—The first complaint against "Jim Crow" cars to be lodged with the Kansas state board of railroad commissioners has been filed by Sey Jones, a Coffeyville negro. The complaint is against the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad Company. Jones states that the company runs its "Jim Crow" cars from Oklahoma right through to Coffeyville. He asks that the company be compelled to take down us signs at the state line and throw the cars open to negroes as well as whites. Drowned in a Slough.—Webb Burns and his wife were drowned in the wagon road near Kiowa in attempting to cross a slough in a wagon. The bodies were recovered. Dangerously Hurt in Auto Wreck.—In an auto accident near Beloit, the machine went into the ditch overturning and pinioning Frank White underneath. Mr. S. H. Dodge, who was with him, escaped injury but was unable to release his companion until he went to town and secured aid. Mr. White when taken out was unconscious and while the physicians do not think his back is broken, they consider him very badly injured. To Merge Kansas Lines.—Incorporation papers have been filed with the secretary of state for the Home Telephone and Telegraph Company, which proposes to connect up all of the small independent telephone systems in the state with long distance toll lines. The company is capitalized at $50,000 and its incorporators are all Kansas men. They are C. J. Myers, Kansas City, Kan.; W. F. Hemphill, Topeka; W. E. Burns, Hutchinson; C. L. Brown, Abilene and A. T. Rogers, Beloit. Cut Throats of His Own Children.—The most shocking tragedy that has occurred in Kansas in many years happened near Peabody. Frank Good, a young farmer living seven miles north of town, killed his three young children and then committed suicide. The instrument used to commit the terrible deed was a pocket knife. His father, mother-in-law and a young woman of the neighborhood slept on the upper floor of the house, but knew nothing of the tragedy until the father arose at 5 o'clock in the morning and came down stairs. The bodies were stiff and it is supposed they had been dead for several hours. The Merchants to Aid Farmers.—The Emporia Business Men's Association met and took steps to assist the farmers of Lyon county in replanting their corn crop which has been seriously damaged by the floods and incessant rains. The association ordered 100 bushels of ninety-day seed corn, which will be distributed to the farmers at actual cost. George Plumb, one of the prominent farmers of Lyon county, says that if ninety-day corn is planted soon it will make an excellent crop, providing the conditions are favorable. When the 100 bushels are exhausted enough more will be obtained to meet the demands. Indian Boy Electrocuted.—Tom Marshall, an Indian boy 11 years old and an inmate of Haskell Indian school located at Lawrence, was killed by 2,200 volts of electricity from a power wire which he grasped with his hand. Death was instantaneous. He was still holding the wire and lay across it when taken up. The boy loosened the corner of a heavy iron screen on a window at the small boys' building, and went out onto the tin roof of a corridor leading from that building to the lavatory. No one was supposed ever to go there, and the naked power wire hung within easy reach. He took of it with his right thumb and forefinger, and death resulted all once. The wire carried the full voltage for the city power plant. This boy came to Lawrence from the Pin-Ridge agency, South Dakota. He had no relatives living, was practically a pauper and was considered only about half witted. His body was buried in the Haskell ceetery near the institute buildings. This was the third death from contact with a live wire at Lawrence within forty-eight hours, two men having been killed at the Kansas university the day before. Many Rabbits Killed by Hail.—It is said that the recent hail storms have played havoc with the rabbit crop. Many farmers around Hill City tell that their fields in the hail district are literally covered with the carcasses of defunct jacks and cottontails, and that the number of killed must reach into the thousands in each part of the county which suffered from the hail. Fruit Crop Report.—Hereafter Kansas will have fruit crop reports the same as the agricultural reports prepared by F. D. Coburn, secretary of the board of agriculture. Walter Wellhouse, secretary of the state agricultural society, has sent out blanks for the information about the Kansas fruits. He wants to know how much the crop was damaged by frosts, wet weather, insects or tree diseases and what the prospects for a crop really are. Mr. Wellhouse has arranged a long list of fruit growers scattered throughout the state and the requests for information have been sent to these men. Each one will report the conditions in his own section and the statistics will then be compiled in the office at Topeka. Purchase Ingalls Home.—All possibility of Atchison losing the Western Theological seminary, an institution which educates both English and German Lutheran young men for the ministry, was settled when F. D. Altman, president of the seminary, acting in behalf of the Lutheran synod, closed a contract for the purchase of Oakhill, the home of the late Senator John J. Ingalls, for $10,000. The Ingalls family has occupied the residence for eighteen years. It can be used, with but few changes, for $snrinary purposes. TO DENVER ANTI- INJUNCTION PLANK CHICAGO INTER-OCEAN MOB KILLS NINE NEGROES LYNCHED BY WHOLE SALE NEAR HEMPHILL, SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS. A CLASH OF RACES FEARED The Trouble Followed the Killing of Two White Men in the Neighborhood—Both Sides Armed. Houston, Tex., June 24.—Sunday night nine negroes met death at the hands of a mob in the vicinity of Hemphill, in Sabine county. Monday both races secured arms and the tension was such Monday night that a race clash appeared imminent. The dead are: Jerry Evans, aged 22; Will Johnson, aged 24; Mose Spellman, 24; Cleveland Williams, 27; William Manuel, 25; Frank Williams, 22; two unknown men; William McCoy. All the dead are negroes. The lynchings followed the killing of two white men by negroes. Two weeks ago Hugh Dean and several other white men visited a negro church and school house where a dance was in progress, presumably in quest of liquor, it being the custom of some of the negroes to sell whisky during the progress of such affairs. During the evening Dean was killed and six negroes were held for the killing. At the preliminary examination the evidence tended to show that the plan was formed at the dance to kill Dean. Saturday last, Aaron M. Johnson, a prominent farmer, was assassinated while seated at the dining table with his wife and child, the bullet being fired through a window. For this crime Perry Price, a negro, was arrested and, it is stated, confessed implicating Robert Wright, a relative of one of the negroes held for Dean's murder. Price declared he was offered $5 to kill Johnson. Then followed the forming of the mob Sunday night, the overpowering of the jailer at Hemphill and the lynching of the six negroes held for the murder of Dean. Five were hanged to the same tree, while another attempted to escape and was shot to death. Later in the night William McCoy, another negro, was shot and killed while standing at the gate of the Johnson home and Monday morning the bodies of two more negroes were found in the creek bottom. Wright, the negro who confessed to killing of Johnson and the man he implicated, were taken to Beaumont for safe keeping under guard of the military company of San Augustine. Sabine county is situated in the most remote of the eastern section of the state with sparse railroad and telegraph facilities. Cubans at Fort Biley Junction City, Kan., June 24.—Maj. Gen, Pino Guerra, commanding the Cuban army, with two aides, arrived at Fort Riley Tuesday and will remain for a month. They were met by Gen. Kerr, commanding Fort Riley. A squadron of the Seventh cavalry acted as their escort into the post. A battery of field artillery fired a salute upon their arrival, the salute being fired appropriate to the rank of a major general. A. East Battleship. San Francisco, June 23. — The battleship Georgia's officers and crew continue to maintain that they have the fastest battleship in the navy. On her trip from Bremerton navy yard, concluded Sunday evening, it is asserted that the Georgia for four consecutive hours along the California coast kept up a speed of 19.5 knots. Assaulted An Editor Evansville, Ind., June 23.—A telephone message from Mount Carmel, Ill., says that Norman Debell was under arrest there charged with assault on Aurora Havill, editor "Havill's Every Morning." Havill's condition is precarious. Debell is said to have taken offense at an edificial in Havill's newspaper. MR. SHERMAN IN A HOSPITAL REPUBLICAN NOMINEE SUFFER ING FROM GALLSTONES. Physicians Report Him as Holding His Own—Operation May Not Be Necessary. Cleveland, O., June 24.—Representative James Schoolcraft Sherman, Republican candidate for vice president, removed early Tuesday from the home of former Gov. Herrick to Lakeside hospital, a sufferer from gallstones, after a somewhat restless day, was reported in an official bulletin Tuesday night as holding his own. If the patient's condition continues to improve, the bulletin said, it is not likely that an operation for the removal of the gallstones will be necessary. The physicians state that Mr. Sherman's well known abstemious habits have given him much bodily strength to resist the ravages of the disease. The following telegram was dictated by Mr. Sherman to his secretary late Tuesday evening in answer to a message of sympathy from the presidential nominee, William H. Tatt; "My illness is not of a critical nature and the doctors Tuesday afternoon advised me that I can probably go home in three or four days. I thank you ever so much, indeed, for your cordial telegram, I expect to see you in Washington on Wednesday of next week, J. S. Sherman." The unfavorable symptom in the case is the continued high temperature. In the nine o'clock bulletin given out Tuesday night it was given as $102\frac{1}{2}$, with pulse normal. At that hour Mr. Sherman was restless. The extreme heat of the day, running into the nineties, did not add much to the comfort of the patient. At midnight Mr. Sherman's temperature was 102, pulse 88, respiration 28. He was sleeping at intervals. Ellis Answers Bryan. Columbus, O., June 24.—Attorney General Wade H. Ellis of Ohio, who was a member of the committee on resolutions of the Republican national convention and chief author of the platform adopted, in a statement is sued Monday night replies to criticism of the platform made by W. J. Bryan and denies emphatically that the draft of the platform as published prior to the convention was changed "with the intention to displease or disappoint the president or Secretary Taft." She Showed Him. Tula, Ok., June 24.—Mrs. Joe Nelson Tuesday accidentally shot and killed Joseph Murray at the Nelson home, near here. Mrs. Nelson was holding in her hand a rifle. Murray remarked: "You can't shoot!" "I'll show you," replied Mrs. Nelson and pointing the gun at Murray the woman fired. Murray died a few minutes later. The coroners inquest held the shooting was an accident. Immigration for May. Washington, June 24.—The reports received by the secretary of commerce and labor on the alien inward passenger movement for May, 1908 show that the total immigration into the United States from all countries during that month was 26.317. This is a decrease of 76 per cent compared with May, 1906, and 80 per cent decrease compared with May, 1907. Small Kentucky Bank Looted. Dover, Ky., June 23.—The Citizens bank of this town closed its doors Monday. At the meeting of the directors it was discovered that neither a single piece of paper or a cent of money was in the safe. The bank was capitalized at $7,500, with deposits amounting to only $7,000. Another Son for King Alfonse. Another Son for King Alfonso. Madrid, June 24.—A son was born to Queen Victoria of Spain Monday night. Queen Victoria, Queen Princess Ena of Battenburg and King Alfonso were married at Madrid on May 31, 1906. Their first son was born on May 10, 1907 Even Slight Catarrhal Derangements of the Stomach Produce Acid Fermentation of the Food, It's Stomach Catarrh Some people are thin and always remain thin, from temperamental reasons. Probably in such cases nothing can be done to change this personal peculiarity. But there are a large number of people who get thin, or remain thin, who naturally would be plump and fleshy but for some digestive derangement. Thin people lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. Fat is derived from the oily constituents of food. The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in the stomach at all. They are digested in the duodenum, the division of the alimentary canal just below the stomach. The digestion of fat is mainly, if not wholly, the work of the pancreatic juice. This juice is of alkaline reaction, and is rendered inert by the addition of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of the stomach passing down into the duodenum, destroys the pancreatic fluid for digestive purposes. Therefore, the fats are not digested or emulsified, and the system is deprived of its due proportion of oily constituents. Hence, the patient grows thin. The beginning of the trouble is a catarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hyperacidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach. When the food is taken into the stomach, if the process of digestion does not begin immediately, acid fermentation will take place. This creates a hyperacidity of the stomach juices which in their turn prevent the pancreatic digestion of the oils, and the emaciation results. A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the stomach, and the pancreatic juice thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eat a sufficient amount of fat-forming foods, and the thinness disappears and plumpness takes its place. ANAKESIS gives instante relief.

No Soup, No Dinner, the Rule Laid Down by Barney. Six years ago, when the king visited Dublin, some amusing incidents were recorded due to the grotesqueness of some hotel waiters apparently just fresh from rural life. One hotelkeeper told such a newly imported "server" that he must always serve every one with soup at dinner and be quite certain that he had it. Thereupon ensued the following scene between a visitor and the new waiter: "Soup, sir?" said Barney. "No soup for me," said the visitor. "But you must have it," said Barney; "it's the rules of the house." "Hang the house!" exclaimed the visitor, highly exasperated. "When I don't want soup I won't eat it. Get along with you!" "Well," said Barney, with solemnity. "all I can say is just this—it's the rules of the house and sorra a drop else you'll get till ye finish the soup!"—London Telegraph. ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM. No Night's Rest for a Year and Limit of His Endurance Seemed Near —Owes Recovery to Cuticura. "My son Clyde was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Friends coming to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life. When it seemed as if he could possibly stand it no longer, I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. In the morning there was a great change for the better. In about six weeks he was perfectly well. Our leading physician recommends Cuticura for eczema. Mrs. Algy Cockburn, Shilch, O., June 11, 1907." Why She Asked. "Have you ever kissed a girl before?" she asked. "Why do you put that question to me?" he replied. "I only wished to know whether it was lack of experience or natural awkwardness that made you go about it in such a ridiculous way." The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new.

R BRAZIL AMERICA’S FRIEND Interests of the United States Turned Over to the South American Republic—Castro’s Many Troubles. Washington, June 24—The state de- partment has been officially notified of the departure of Secretary Jacob Sleeper, of the American legation at Caracas, Venezuela, aboard the Mari- eta, leaving the United States with- out a diplomatic representative in that country. A state of expectancy exists and is the result of the in- ability of this country to secure any satisfaction from President Castro through Minister Russell, Caracas, June 22, via Willemstad, June 24.—The members of the Ameri- can legation are awaiting the arrival of the United States gunboat Mari- etta at Porto Cabello, the warship hav- ing been ordered there for the pur- pose of transferring them to the United States. Jacob Sleeper, who has been acting as charge d'affaires since the departure of the American minister, W. W. Russell, and Lieu- tenant Francis A.

MUST KEEP CLOSE TO PEOPLE Will Get His Best Counsel From Them | Declares the Republican Can- didate—Some Illustrious Cuamien: New York, June 24.—Secrettary Wil- dam H. Taft has written the follow- ing article on his conception of the residency: “In the four years that I have been & member of the cabinet I have be- ome familiar enough with the re- sponsibilities and burdens of the presidency to know that no man can afford unduly to seek that great oi- fice. If he is attracted by honor and power alone without the hope of being useful, he is unworthy of the honor and unfit for the use of the power. He must prefer for the sake of his own peace of mind never to be presi: dent to being a poor president. Con- fident that the platform on which he stands is for the best interests of the nation, he is untrue to himself and his supporters if he does not fight valiant- ly for election after he accepts the leadership. But, of course, he must draw the line at any compact which will not leave him free of promises and of the control of any faction. “The president's duties, clearly out- lined by the constitution have grown broader in their interpretation with the growth of the country. He should be in the prime of years, health and vigor. The capacity for hard work is a better equipment than genius in mastering the essentials of all the departments of the government and undergoing the strain of countless in- terviews. He should look not only to those in office but to those out of office in all branches of private ac tivity for information and opinion in order that he may arrive at the truth when he is surrounded by the coniliet of interests which come to him with the fair words of the special pleader | “In many senses though the most “sought after, he is the loneliest map in the United States, Elected direct ly by the people their representative head, from them in the sober though' of the majority, he will get his bes. counsel. Though indifference or pre occupation with private affairs maz keep them from attending primaries or scanning closely the other candidate on measures, they ean center on the president as their instrument for the expression of their wishes. He shou!d be always near the people in thought and as near them in person as his po sition will permit. In common with the people, he is human, and he must ask their charity for his mistakes, When they have ceased to believe in his sincerity and uprightaess of ourpose, his is a cheerless task. Once sonvineed that he has divined and is carrying out their real wishes, neither slated by an outburst of applause not diverted by any outburst of censure, he must proceed unwaveringly, always by lawful methods, to the accots plishment of the popular will. “From Washington he may learn nobility, fortitude and uprightness Lincoln's life and speeches must be bis source of inspiration when he is misunderstood and he has to say to himself ‘patience and cheer. It is easier since we had Lincoln than it was before to be a good president, He set a standard. “It remained for Roosevelt to prove how the people will respond to a strong and true leadership when the hour has come for great reforms. The policies which he inaugurated must be continued and developed They are right and they are the policies of the people. For that rea- son his successor may well disregard any charge of lack of originality if he does not make an entirely new pro- gram of his own. “A president at this time has work before him clearly defined. The in. forcement of the law, equally against high and low, the powerful and the weak, should be his first thought. The danger to our country from laxity or favoritism in this is the greatest one we have to face, The conservation of aur national resources and their de- velopment for the use of all along the lines of equal opportunity, too, must command his immediate attention, It should be his aim to give high tone to bis administration as President Roosevelt has by surrounding himself with men of prominence, enthusiasm tn public interest and of the cleanest and most effective methods.” Filipinos Are Pleased, Manila, June 30.—An Associated press bulletin conveyed to the peopie of the Philippines the first news of the nomination of Secretary of War ‘Taft for president by the Republican national convention.

Marcel Prevost’s opinion, the most universal indifference of women on the subject of voting. “Neither the representa- tive nor the voter,” says this expert in feminine psychology, “excites their envy. They do not even think about the vote, and if men offer it as a gift they pay no attention, burst out laugh- ing or refuse point blank.” 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 neces- sary 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 wear- Ing quality of the goods. This trou- ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- er strength than other makes.

Mrs. Ella Jackson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George House, 610 E. 7th street, died at her home 119 E. 12th, in this city last Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after a severe illness of three months. Mrs. Jackson was the role of Mr. John Jackson, president of the Southwestern District Mission- ary Baptist B. Y. P. U. convention of Kansas. Mrs. Jackson was born in North county, Ky., April 28th, 1877 and integrated to this state and city with her parents in the early 80's, during the great exodus from the south. She was united to Mr. Jackson May 17th, 1890, and was at the time of her death 22 years, 1 month and 20 days old. She estraced a hope in Christ early and witched with the 2nd Baptist church of this city and was one of the active and leading soprana singers of the door. Her intimately taking away was seasonal shocking, yet all humbly submit to the pleasure of the Lord. He gave and he taken away, blessed be His name forever. Mrs. Jackson was a sweet singer, her last song at church, in hed very elegate state, at the church on a Sab- an eve, she lifted her weak, but her voice, and sang: I good outside the gate.

Guffey got himself elected as a "gold bug" to the Democratic national convention and fought hard to prevent Bryan's nomination. Failing in this he returned to Pittsburg, fuming with rage and vowing to crush Bryan in Pennsylvania. On reaching home, however, he learned that his enemy, William F. Harry, then Democratic boss, had boiled Bryan. This was too good an opportunity to let slip. Guffey flopped to Bryan, proclaimed himself an original Bryan man, started a fight on Harry and gave liberally to the Bryan campaign fund. When the war was over Harry had disappeared as Democratic boss and Guffey reigned in his stead. Again in 1900 he made the fight for Bryan, but on each occasion lost the state by about 300,000 votes. In 1904 the Republican majority had increased to over 500,000, and other state elections have resulted equally disastrously for him. Two years ago he was swept out by the reform wave and the keenest politicians thought they had lost him forever, but once more he bobs up to the surface. Guffey is many times a millionaire. He is said to be an oil magnate in six states, coal king in two, silver mine owner in two and gold mine owner in an eleventh. He is said to be as tricky in politics as in business. RECONCILED TO CARNEGIE RECONCILED TO CARNEGIE It will be recalled that not one of the "young partners" of the Carnegie Steel Co. ever went to the wall. They all have great wealth, and even Lovejoy, with all his troubles, would have been able to weather the storm, but it would have left him worth a great deal less than when he was a business partner of Carnegie. Lovejoy and Carnegie were together the greater part of three days in New York. Lovejoy returned to Pittsburg and it was noted that he had placed in Pittsburg banks to his credit $400,000. It was reported that Charles M. Schwab, former head of the steel trust, had come to his rescue, and many believed it until Lovejoy himself has given out the statement that it was Carnegie who aided him in his trouble. FOUND DREYFUS FORGERIES FOUND DREYFUS FORGERIES of his writing, and made the sensational discovery that it was Esterhazy and not Dreyfus who had written the borderau, the document containing French military secrets sold to the Germans which led to the charges against Dreyfus. Picquart set the machinery in motion which would have given Dreyfus a new trial and at the same time placed Esterhazy on trial as the real author of the borderau. The French army generals behind the conspiracy thwarted Col. Picquart's purpose. They sent him on a mission to Tunis and placed Lieut. Col. Henry in charge of the secret intelligence bureau. Public opinion in France was thus stifled for a time. Esterhazy was court-martialed and acquitted. Col. Picquart was arrested on the charge of forging the "petitt bleu." The charge failed and he was rearrested on the charge of showing secret documents of the war office to a lawyer. On this charge he was convicted by a court-martial packed by the conspirators of the general staff and dismissed from the army. And then began the long battle which ended in the vindication of Dreyfus, and the promotion of Picquart to the head of the army. BUTTERFLY A BUSY BEE aburd to give him any position so important as that he now fills, for he was distinguished only as a thing of rare beauty. His father-in-law, Lord Roseberry, had caustically referred to him as a "society butterfly," but for once Roseberry was mistaken.

He was defeated, but it was a gallant fight against overwhelming odds, and it showed that there was good material in the man underneath his dandified air, his irreproachable dress and his almost girlish beauty.

It is less than two years ago that Julian Hawthorne wrote of him: "Those who would flatter him call him a fool. He is too stupid to see the handwriting on the wall; but it is no matter; his power is ended." Mr. Hawthorne failed to take into consideration Guffey's natural cunning, which has saved him from annihilation on several occasions and which has brought him to the front once more. This is no sudden dislike for Bryan on Guffey's part, for he has been opposed to him since the run in 1896. Guffey got himself elected as a "golden convention and fought hard to prevent Bryan this he returned to Pittsburg, fuming with rage in Pennsylvania. On reaching home, however, William F.

Lovejoy, one of the "young partners" in the great Carnegie Steel Co., who has just become reconciled to Andrew Carnegie, after a bitter ten years' war, owes his financial shortage to "Lovejoy's Folly," a magnificent $1,000,000 residence he is building in the east end, Pittsburg, and to his heavy investments in western mining stocks. Lovejoy began with Carnegie as a telegraph operator. He was polite, accommodating and a hard worker who had little to say, especially about the Carnegie Steel Co. Carnegie recognized his worth and made him a partner in the steel business. Then came the break between Carnegie and H. C. Frick. Lovejoy, who was then secretary of the Carnegie Steel Co., supported Mr. Frick. From that time on until a few months ago the steel master and Lovejoy never spoke a word to each other. not one of the "young partners" of the Carnegie avail. They all have great wealth, and even Love could have been able to weather the storm, but it a great deal less than when he was a business were together the greater part of three days in led to Pittsburg and it was noted that he had his credit $400,000.

Georges Picquart, France's minister of war, who, next to Alfred Dreyfus, was the hero of the famous Dreyfus case, was present the other day when the shooting of Dreyfus took place, during the so-called canonization of Emile Zola, the author and writer. The first clew to the innocence of Dreyfus and to the identity of the real culprit came in the year 1895 by the discovery by spies of a card telegram (petit blue) written by Lieut. Col. von Schwarzkoppen and addressed to Commandant Esterhazy, calling upon him to give more detailed information. This card telegram—afterwards famous in the case as the "petit bleu"—it was written on a blue post card—was taken to Col. Picquart, who had succeeded Col. Sandherr as chief of the secret intelligence bureau. Col. Picquart looked into Esterhazy's record and antecedents. He obtained specimens sensational discovery that it was Esterhazy and in the bordereau, the document containing French the Germans which led to the charges against mercy in motion which would have given Dreyfus time placed Esterhazy on trial as the real author such army generals behind the conspiracy thwarted they sent him on a mission to Tunis and placed of the secret intelligence bureau. was thus stifled for a time.

FLY A BUSY BEE The earl of Crewe, the handsomest man and the most stylishly dressed in the British house of lords, has been promoted from lord president of the council, a position almost a sinecure at $10,000 a year, to secretary of state for the colonies, a portfolio that provides lots of work and a salary of $25,000 a year. In his old position his principal duty was to carry a big, two-handed sword at the opening of parliament and do his best to prevent it from getting entangled between the legs of some state functionary. This duty would occupy about half an hour a year, and the radical wing of the government party have been raising a fuss about the salary being out of all proportion to the services rendered. There was some danger of the post being abolished, so it was deemed advisable to provide Lord Crewe with a position of real responsibility. Five years ago it would have been considered motion so important as that he now fills, for he was king of rare beauty. His father-in-law, Lord Roseed to him as a "society butterfly," but for once when the Birrell education bill reached the house and to defend it from the vicious attacks of the conl. but it was a gallant fight against overwhelming here was good material in the man underneath his table dress and his almost girlish beauty. HOUSE IS BUILT ROUND. Residence of Peculiar Architecture to Please Neighbors. Guthrie, Okla.—Visitors in this city are always interested in a residence of peculiar architecture, located in West Guthrie, and few people come here who do not take a look at this house before leaving. Local photographers state they finish more kodak pictures of this residence than of any other one point of interest in this locality. It is commonly referred to as "the round house," "the house with the pin on it," and "the wonder house." It is a pagoda looking affair, of several stories, built as round as a but THE WATCH TOWER "Round House" at Guthrie, Okla. ter ball. Within, the rooms corner in the center of the house, but the outer walls are round and persons who have inhabited it always find trouble in securing carpets that can be placed in the rooms and with finding suitable places to locate their various articles of furniture. It has porches and verandas that run around the entire house. When Charles Babcock came to Guthrie at the opening of "Old" Oklahoma in 1889, there were but few residences in that portion of the city where he purchased a lot. It so happened, too, that what few residences were in that vicinity surrounded his place—houses to the east and west, north and south of him. Naturally, when the town was still young, there was much speculation among the other residents regarding the manner of architecture Mr. Babcock would adopt in building his new home, and each of his immediate neighbors made the demand that, whatever the architecture, the house should face in his particular direction. "They were all mighty nice people," said Babcock recently in explaining why he had built the round house, "and not desiring to disappoint any of my neighbors, I just concluded to build it round, so that it would face in all directions. They were all so determined about what direction it should face that afterward I had the laugh on them all by making it face in all directions. I found it very comfortable to live in, for it made no difference during the summer time from what direction the wind was blowing I always got the benefit, while oftentimes my neighbors were suffering with heat." Mr. Babcock denied the report, current here for some time, that in his earlier years he had been in the navy and that he had designed his residence after the conning tower of some ship he had served on. He is a native of Wisconsin and learned the blacksmith trade in Milwaukee a good many years ago. Later he resided in both St. Louis and Kansas City prior to coming to Guthrie. While a resident here Mr. Babcock served several terms in the city council and resigned in 1901 to take a claim in the Kiowa and Comanche Indian country, then opening for settlement. He still owns his "round house" in Guthrie. Encroaching on English. A party of foreigners who are making a tour of this country called recently at the state department and were received by Secretary Root. They had a very limited knowledge of English and the conversation was conducted mostly in the sign language. Finally the spokesman of the party arose, and, with a profound bow, said: "Mr. Secretaire, we will not further cockroach on your time." Secretary Root is known in Washington as the politite man. He did not crack a smile, but in diplomatic terms explained to his visitor that encroach was the proper English word to explain his meaning. "Ah," exclaimed the caller, with another bow, "I understand. Cockroach am ze male and henroach am ze female." Mr. Root nodded his head. Further explanation seemed to be useless,—Washington Times. Improved Screw Driver. An autocar screw driver has been designed for the purpose of making it possible for railroads to use screw-spikes in track construction, a method of spiking rails hitherto impractical because of the labor and expense of boring holes and setting the screws by hand. The machine is driven by a two-cylinder, 12-horse power gasoline engine and runs at a speed of from five to forty miles an hour. Madrid Cleared of Beggars.

When a horse bolts his grain the first step should be to see that his teeth are in proper order, as sharp points or other irregularities may be making it impossible for him properly to masticate his grain, and may easily be set right by judicious use of the veterinary rasps sold for the purpose. Next it is important that the horse should be allowed a sufficient length of time in which comfortably and properly to masticate his food. If he is rushed into and out of the stable at noon he soon learns to bolt his food as the habit comes from hurry and hunger. In addition to allowing ample time for grain getting discourages bolting by feeding the grain from a box with a very wide bottom, so that it will be thinly distributed, under which circumstances the horse will find it impossible to grab a full mouth ful to be bolted unmasticated. Putting some cobblestones in the feed box also helps to prevent bolting, and as other excellent plan suggested by the Rural New Yorker is to mix some hard peas, horse beans or even shelled corn with the oats, as the horse will chew well to enjoy the flavor of the added grains, and incidentally grind his oats thoroughly. The objection to feeding sheaf oats in place of oats is that a horse has a small stomach, the capacity of which is but three and one-half gallons or thereabout, so that he needs concentrated food in small quantities often when at hard work. Oats have to be fully masticated in the mouth, where they are drenched with the saliva, which acts upon the starchy matters. The oats then pass to the stomach, where they remain for hours for full action of the gastric juice, which acts upon the protein constituents; then the partially digested food passes slowly along the many feet of small intestines, after meeting the digestive fluids of the duodenum, and gives up most of its nutrients to the absorbent organs during the journey to the large intestine. On the contrary, hay, straw and fodder, after partial mastication in the mouth, pass quickly through the stomach and are stored in the large intestines (caecum and colons), and fed with oats or just after oats tend to force the grain out of the stomach and digested. Theoretically a horse should therefore be fed hay first and then oats or other concentrates; and as water passes through the stomach to the caecum it should be given always before feeding. CHICKEN EATING HOGS. Board Across the Eyes Will Cut 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 Cure for the Chicken Eater. In the habit of catching and eating chickens and proved an effective hinderance. 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 large 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 man chinery is now used in place of the lighter kinds formerly in use.
