Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT INTIMIDATING NEGROVOTERS TO VOTE FOR GOV. STUBBS AT THE PRIMARY AUG. 2. TWELTH YEAR The editor of the Searchlight is informed from reliable sources that an effort is being made by the Stubbs forces to corral, by force of intimidation and threats the Negroes of Kansas to vote for the re-nomination of Gov. W. Roscoe Stubbs at the August primary. We refuse to believe it Gov. Stubbs, no matter how anxious he is to retain his seat at Topeka as the great political Czar and the great political "power that be" in Kansas, would suffer himself to "coddesend" to this depth of political tyranny. We are aware, as is those most interested in the candidacy of Gov. Stubbs, that his candidacy is meeting with little favor all over the state of Kansas, and that something must be done, and that soon to stem the tide or after the primary on August 2nd. "our governor" will be one of the worst beaten men who ever ran for political preferment in the Sunflower State. We are also aware, as is the campaign managers of Gov. Stubbs, that the Governor is losing voters every day and the longer the campaign the less probability there is that Gov. Stubbs can come any way near defeating his most excellent and splendid opponent, Tom Wagstaff. We also know, that Gov. Stubbs and his managers are aware of the fact, that during the two years which Gov. Stubbs has been the Chief Executive of this state, he has given less recognition to the Negro voters of this state than any Governor since and before the Territorial days of this state. The fact of the matter is, that so far as the Governor's office is concerned, the Negroes of Kansas have been "eliminated" from politics and have been "read entirely outside" of the Republican party, the fact that the Negroes of this state are now in politics, is not the fault of the Governor or his closest advisers, but is purely and solely the fault of the Negroes of this state who would not nor will not remain "eliminated or read out" of politics—especially this important calan- er year. We do not doubt the fact that great, loyal and honest vote of the thousands of Negro voters of Kansas who are just waiting for primary day to march to the polls and "vote it strait" for Tom Wagstaff and "a man's chance" worries the Governor and his lieutantants somewhat—but why should the Governor let a little thing like these thousand of Negro Republican voters who are for Tom Wagstaff and a square deal worry him? Is he not now the "great Governor"? of the State of Kansas? Has he not had two years—of feasting at the political banquet table of this state? Has he not been the sole director of men and of mens affairs? Have not these same thousands of hungry, neglected and loyal Negro voters BEGGED FOR THE CRUMBS only that fell from the Governor's political table? And have these Negroes not been turned away empty handed and scorned at? When the Negroes have asked for political bread they been "stoned." Low, how dare any man, be he or whatever political calibse the nerve to expect that these same Negroes would do less than all in their power to dethrone such an ungrateful one. Talk about "intimidation and threats" what has Governor Stubbs ever done for the Negroes of this state since he has been Governor to "intimitate" them with or what has he ever done in their favor that he could now hold over them as a "threats"—we pause for reply. While the taxes and other things durinfl Gov. Stubbs administration has "gone upward" he has very successfully seen to its that the employment of Negroes by the state of Kansas has "Gone downward" with a chance for them to go lower if he should be nominated and reelected. The source from which the editor receives this information that pressure is being attempt to be bought to bear to "intimidate and threaten" the Negroes of Kansas to vote for Gov. Stubbs at the primary on August 2nd, lead him to believe that there may possible be something in it and we take this means to put our people "next" to the thing so they may be looking for it from some source. Do not pay any attention to any of this talk about what the Governor "will do against the colored people" in the event that the colored people do not vote for him at the primary. Just go to the polls on August 2nd and vote solid to a man for Tom Wagstaff for Governnr on the Republican ticket and let the race take its chances as it has always done. This one thing is certain if Gov. Stubbs should receive the nomination and be re-elected which is entirely impossible. HE CAN CERTAINLY NOT DO LESS for the colored people during the next two years than he has done during the past two years. At any rate let the colored men take a chance at it. The colored voters have never made any unreasonable requests of Gov. Stubbs and if he did not care to give them any new places he could have at least have left to the race those places which for time immemorial has always been held by colored men. But he has seen fit to take the other course and now it is entirely too late for him or any of his interests to come forward and attempt to hood-wink the colored people futether and fool them in to vote to further his unjust treatment of them. Vote at the August primary for Tom Wagstaff and for once in the history of the State show that the colored men dare to resent a public insult heaped upon every member of the race by a man who simply a public servent and not the boss or czar of the people of this state. Vote for Tom Wagstaff and let Stubbs "intimidations and threats" rip. STOCKTON KAS All the farmers are in the midst of harvest. Misses Lettie and Ester Vandural of Nieodemus spent Sunday in Stockton.

It has come to the point that a man's standing in a community is measured by his home. It is distasteful to most people to pay rent. The normal man desires to have a home of his own for his children. And these children have a right to a home of their own. It goes without question that a man's work is made lighter as he thinks during the day that his wife and his children are under their own roof. It is true that all men are not able to have a home of their own. They are tied down by conditions that prevent their entering upon so worthy an enterprise. But the desire is there, just the same. In nearly every town of any size the real estate men and property owners are anxious to offer inducements to home building, and in many instances it is as easy to pay for a home as it is to pay rent. The payments are arranged so that they amount to the same as rent and as they include the interest each month there is no difference, really, except that the buyer must pay the insurance, which is a small matter. When you come to think of it there is really no excuse for any man paying rent when he can get a home on these terms. He cannot lose anything for the reason that if he should ever fall in his payments he has an equity- THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER that has a cash value, something he could not have if he paid rent. The sense of satisfaction in undertaking an enterprise like this is tremendous, for the occupant feels that he owns the place the minute he gets into it, and the pleasure of making little improvements and adding to the attractiveness of the place is delightful. There are thousands and tens of thousands of families in the country living in their own homes today, independent of landlords, who never would have possessed anything but PORCH KITCHEN 12'0"X12'0" PANTRY 5'0"X6'0" CONSERVATION 7'0"X7'0" SINK CL.

It is not necessary to have a large amount of money in many cases. All the real estate man wants is a small payment down as an evidence of good faith, or an earnest that the buyer means business and will not move in a month or two. The house we show here is one of the type being sold in many localities. Do you not think it would be happier for you to live in a house like this than pay rent? You will have something to live for, and it will be the ambition of your wife and yourself to get it paid for as soon as possible. And you have no idea how easy it will be. This house is arranged with a view to convenience in housekeeping. There are no stairs to climb. And you will notice that the front porch is included under the roof. The house is 26 feet wide and 53 feet long. This house ought to be built on a wide lot that will allow plenty of shrubbery --- and trees to enhance its beauty. These things are requirements that should not be lost sight of in selecting the location. Entrance is had to a large living room off the front porch. This room is 12 by 20 feet in size. To the left is the library, which can be used as a parlor if desired. But the day of the parlor has passed. It is the vogue now to live all over the house. No longer do we see the parlor which is kept closed and not profaned except when the minister calls or sister gets married. In the center of the house is the bathroom and back of this is a bedroom. The dining room is of good size, and it will be noticed that ample light is provided for. In fact, throughout the house there are plenty of windows. The kitchen is 12 feet square. It ought to be mentioned that if any person selects this design and wants to build, the best method is to consult a real estate man, if the intending builder does not already own a lot, and arrange to have the house built on the monthly payments plan. Of course, it is preferable to pay cash if possible, but as has been said before, it is not necessary. The main requirement at the outset is the desire to build, and when a man or woman once has such a resolve there is always a way to realize the wish. HAD REPUTATION AS TALKER Newspaper Men of the Capital Have Pleasant Memories of John F. Fitzgerald of Boston. "Well, this certainly looks like old times," remarked Representative James E. Mann of Illinois, as he ob- THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER served Mayor John F. Fitzgerald of Boston in a corridor of the capitol surrounded by newspaper correspondents "Right," chimed in Representative Roberts of Massachusetts, as he joined the group and shook hands. "Still talking, Fitzz." When Mayor Fitzgerald was a member of the house, in 1894, he was the youngest member of that body incidentally, he was the most energetic, and he had the reputation of being able to get more newspaper space than any other member of congress. "Fitzgerald's visit," said a member of the house, "reminds me of the days when he was a member here. He was the most remarkably busy man I have ever seen in congress. He always had something on tap that made good newspaper copy, and when the correspondents were in a bad way for news they always could count upon Fitzgerald to give them something worth while. "The present mayor of Boston was the greatest hustler I have ever seen. I remember a story he told me once about the way he kept his constituents guessing as to his whereabouts. He would deliver a corking good speech in the afternoon, hustle down to the station and catch the through train for Boston, and the next morning he would be back home getting first hand information as to how his remarks were received in his district. "Jumping back and forth between Washington and Boston was quite as ordinary a journey for him as for the members who go back and forth between Baltimore and Washington every day."—Washington Times. Famous Guide a Suicide. Adolphe Balmat, one of the most famous of the Swiss guides, has committed suicide within sight of Mont Blanc, the mountain his ancestor had been the first to scale, in 1786, and which the old guke himself had climbed nearly seventy times. He was no one-mountain man and he knew Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn and the Jungfrau equally well. But, unwilling to risk any longer the lives of his clients or to content himself—he, the great Balmat with beaten tracks, and unable to bear the mention of his name grow scarcer and scarcer, he has taken what is known as the coward's way out. "How dull it is to pause, to make an end, to rust unburnish'd." He saved many lives for the one he took. The bitterness of being superseded is tasted to the full only by those who refuse to relax the battle again* years—London Evening Standard. --- PROVES PROSPERITY REIGN PROVES PROSPERITY REIGN RAILROADS SPEND STUPENDOUS SUMS FOR BETTERMENTS. Eighty-Six Corporations Increased Dividends $46,230,000 Over Same Months Last Year. New York, New York.—Certain evidences of the great prosperity that is surging all over the country are given in the enormous orders placed within the last few days by the large railroads of the country for additional equipment. No such tremendous sums of money have ever been spent by the railroads it is said, excepting in the initial construction of a road or in a large extension. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad alone has appropriated $7,000,000 for new equipment. Not merely in money spent but in the declaring of dividends by the roads lies the proof that the good times which returned a year ago have in no way diminished. Since January 1, 86 railroads and industrial operations have increased their disbursements or declared initial or resumed dividends to the extent of $57,625,000 a year. Twenty-three of these corporations are railroads their increase alone representing $15,000,000. Up to June 1 of this year the aggregate dividend payments from the 86 corporations in question have amounted to about $298,000,000 which is an increase of about $46,230,000 over the first five months of last year. The disbursement in dividends of industrial companies during the last five months have amounted to $154,000,000 which is an increase of about $25,000,000 over the same period last year. BRYAN IN NEBRASKA FIGHT Declared Opposition to An "Oligarchy Based on Beer" and Took Convention With him. Lincoln, Nebraska.—"We have a fight before us. I have decided what I am going to do. Those who desire to come with me, come. Those who desire to stay at home, stay." With these words William J. Bryan closed one of the most dramatic speeches of his career at the Democratic county convention. He spoke in support of a positive declaration for county option and at the conclusion of his address the plank was adopted by an overwhelming majority. He thanked friends for their former political support, assured the Democrats that he only desired to be of service to the people of the state in ridding Nebraska of an "oligarchy, based on beer," and then made his declaration concerning his future policy. The county option plank was adopted by a vote of 134 to 31. A number of gray-haired Democrats left the convention hall in tears. EARTHSHOCK AFFECTS OIL FLOW Wells in Oklahoma Ceased Production Just Before and Resumed Stronger After Earthquake. Bartlesville, Oklahoma.—Oil producers in the Bartlesville district are inclined to believe that the earthquake noted by the seismographs at Washington and Lawrence, Kan., the other day took effect in the subterranean cavities from which the Oklahoma oil is produced. A few hours before the time the seismograph recorded the disturbance the wells ceased flowing, the cessation continuing for nearly an hour. When the flow was resumed it was with greater velocity and volume than before, and the new rate of production is being maintained. There was no perceptible vibration of the earth's surface, but the coincidence of the cessation of the flow and its resumption at the moment of the seismographic notation has been widely remarked upon. DRAFTING LOEB FOR GOVENOR Beverly, Massachusetts.—President Taft urged William Loeb, Jr., to accept the Republican gubernatorial nomination in New York this fall.

THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT The Showing July 1 Was Not Quite So Good as Last Year—More Corn Planted. Washington, D. C.—A crop report issued by the government shows the preliminary estimate of the area of corn planted is 114,003,000 acres, an increase of 5,132,000 acres, 4.9 per cent, as compared with the final estimate of last year's acreage. The average condition of the crop on July 1, was 85.4 as compared with 89.3 on July 1, 1909; 82.8 on July 1, 1908, and 85.1 the ten year average on July 1. The amount of wheat remaining on farms is t estimated at 5.3 per cent of last year's crop of about 38,730,000 bushels, as compared with 15,062,000 on July in 1909, and 38,708,000 the average amount on farms on July 1, for the past ten years. The condition of wheat on July 1, or when harvested was 81.5, as compared with 80.0 last month, 82.4 at harvest 1009, 80.6 in 1908 and 81.2 the average at the time of harvest for the past ten years. THEY WILL EXAMINE THE MAINE Army Engineers to Determine if the Wreck Can Be Raised for $300,000. Washington, D. C.—General Bixby, chief of the army engineers, is to announce in a few days the appointment of a board of officers to examine the wreck of the Maine, which lies a crumpled mass of steel in Havana harbor, with the view of determining whether or not the $300,000 appropriated for raising the vessel will be sufficient. In the informal conferences which have been held to consider the problem, the engineering corps has become convinced that it has a puzzle almost defying solution. The amount set aside for the work is believed inadequate. MASTER SHIPBUILDER RETIRES Rear Admiral Capps Was Obliged to Leave Navy Because of Disagreement With Secretary Meyer. Washington, D.

GOOD FROZEN DISH MOUSSE ALWAYS WELCOME ON SUMMER DINING TABLES. Has No Superior as a Hot-Weather Delicacy—Point to Bear in Mind There are two forms of mousse quite distinct from each other in make, but both prepared in the same way by freezing without the tiresome work of turning the crank of the freezer. Although the labor of preparing the mousse is slight, it takes a long time for the freezing, so if the mousse is to be served at dinner at night it should be made in the early morning. The name mousse is derived from the mossy appearance of the frozen dish. In freezing pack in equal parts of ice and coarse salt. A point to remember in freezing the mousse is to make the lid of the mold brine tight by rubbing it with melted fat. Among the sweet mousse are maple, caramel, vanilla, almond, coffee and fruit mousse of every sort, as well as neapolitan and those with nut and wine flavors. These mousse are nearly all made from cream, sweetened, flavored and whipped to a foamy lightness before freezing. Chicken Mousse.—Scald one cupful of rich milk, add to it the yolks of three eggs well beaten, and salt and pepper to season and cook in a double boiler like custard. Take from the fire, add one-quarter of a box of gelatin that has soaked for an hour in one-quarter of a cupful of cold water. Put one cupful of prepared chicken meat in a bowl. This may be the potted chicken which comes in the form of a paste or chicken chopped fine and pressed through a sieve. Pour the hot custard over this, then stir the mixture in a pan of ice until it is smooth and commence to stiffen. Add one cupful of whipped cream, then pack in one large mold or the patent individual charlotte russe molds and cover with ice and salt. When cold and stiffened on a bed of white lettuce leaves. If charlotte russe molds are used, fill the centers with sliced heart celery and nut meats marinated with French dressing. Crown with mayonnaise. Ham mousse can be made in the same way. If potted chicken or ham is used be careful about adding much other seasoning, as both are highly seasoned when packed. Girls and Their Figures. Stiff corsets are unknown in France. French corsets are always supple and bendable, and this much accounts for the case of French figures, which are never tightened except at the waist, leaving the bust and hips quite free. If the figure is tightened in too much it gives too straight a look to the figure and makes it stiff and uncomfortable, movement being rendered ungraceful by this stiffness. Let any girl try to lace her corset only at the waist and let her select it as soft and light as possible, and then see if her figure be not as graceful in shape as the French figure. No tight, straight down, even lacing will ever make a pretty figure. If the corset cannot be made expressly to suit the figure, then let it only be laced in the middle of the waist. Even then no real corset should be worn by girls until they are well in their teens. Hardwood Floors. To repollish hardwood floors, melt half a pound of pure beeswax and add a pint of turpentine and half as much ammonia. Stand the mixture over a boiling kettle, in order to keep it warm. Apply to the floor with flannel cloth and let stand until quite cold. Now as to polishing, the merriest and quickest method is to give the children a lark. Collect from the ragbag all the discarded stockings and socks, draw them on over the children's shoes, start a two-step on the piano and the children will do the rest. If, unfortunately, your neighborhood offers no children, your second choice of a polisher is an adult with a piece of brussels carpet wrapped around a brick.—Harper's Bazar. 1 French Spinach and Eggs. Three pounds of spinach, two ounces of butter, a little white sauce, four or six eggs, salt and pepper, a grate of nutmeg; cook,the nicely washed spinach in the usual way, and meanwhile boil the eggs till hard, drain the spinach very thoroughly and press through a hair sieve; dissolve the butter in a stewpan, put in the spinach and stir it till quite hot; mix in the white sauce by degrees, and, if you have it, a little cream; season all with pepper, salt and nutmeg; place on a hot dish, and around it arrange the hard-boiled eggs cut in halves. Rhubarb and Raisin Pie. Chop fine one pound of rhubarb and one and one-half cupfuls of seeded ralsins. Add one pint of sugar and two well beaten eggs. This will make two pies; make with top and bottom crusts. In serving an omelet, with calf's brains parboil the latter in salted water, adding a clove, slice of onion and a bay leaf. Chill, cut into dice, dip in egg and crumbs, fry in deep fat and serve round the omelet. A BAD THING TO NEGLECT. Don't neglect the kidneys when you notice lack of control over the secrections. Passages become too frequent or scanty; urine is discolored and sediment appears. No medicine for such troubles like Donat's Kidney Pills. They quickly remove kidney disorders. Beverly Nichols Fall A Love Mrs. A. E. Fulton, 311 Skidmore St. Portland, Ore., says: My limbs swelled terribly and I was bloated over the stomach and had puffy spots beneath the eyes. My kidneys were very unhealthy and the secrections much disordered. The dropsical swellings began to abate after I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and soon I was cured." Remember the name—Doan's.

"There goes old Hiram Skinflint, and rather than step on a poor black ant he picked it up, and I bet he is going to drop it somewhere out of the reach of danger." Her husband laughed knowingly. "Not Hiram Skinflint, Mandy. He'll go down to Jed Weatherby's general store and order a pound of granulated sugar. Then while Jed is looking another way he'll drop the ant among the grains and tell Jed as long as his sugar has ants in it he ought to sell it at half price. Like as not he'll try to get Jed. to throw in two or three raisins and a yeast cake. You don't know Hiram Skinflint." Unflattering Truth. A Chicago physician gleefully tells a child story at his own expense. The five children of some faithful patients had measles, and during their rather long stay in the improvised home hospital they never failed to greet his daily visit with pleased acclamation. The good doctor felt duly flattered, but rashly pressed the children, in the days of convalescence, for the reason of this sudden affection. At last the youngest and most indiscreet let slip the better truth. "We felt so sick that we wanted awfully to do something naughty, but we were afraid to be bad for fear you and the nurse would give us more horrid medicine. So we were awfully glad to see you, always, 'cause you made us stick out our tongues. We stuck 'em out awful far!" He Rose to It. "Do you know," said a little boy of five to a companion the other day, "my father and I know everything. What I don't know my father knows, and what my father don't know I know." "All right! Let's see, then," replied the older child, skeptically. "Where's Asla?" It was a stiff one, but the youngster never faltered. "Well, that," she answered coolly, "is one of the things my father knows."—Harper's Bazaar. Artistic Temperament. "Hamit seemed to speak with authority in his advice to the players." "Yes," replied Mr. Stormington Barnes, "although he was rather quiet and patient. But in his other scenes he was as nervous and frascible as a regular stage manager." The inevitable.

G, Holland. A Kind reception is better than a feast. Secina Thinne to De. There are some people who are al: ways seeing little things that they may do for others. Comfort, little at- tentions that cost little and mean much. To the ordinary plodding mor- tal who would be glad to do many things; but never see them to do un til somebody does them, this arc seems a mystery. It {s really very sim- ple and one becomes proficient by practise. One of the hardest things we have to do in life and one in which we have acquired little ability, most of us, is the noble art of putting our self in our neighbor's place, and judg. ing from his standpoint. The practise of this gentle art makes us sensitive to times and sea- sons, tactful and offering attentions and generous in putting ourselves in the background. In traveling one sees more human nature in a week than we do among our acquaintances in a year, for even nice people, are think- ing of themselves too much and too Uttle of the comfort of others. One may endure the slights of strangers, and the selfishness shown by them, but in the intimate relationship of home Ife, thoughtfulness for others will make or mar the bappiness of a Ife. weer Et reas Oe Me Zam Y HE surest road to health, say what they will, aon ™e¢ those ein wo poor mortal From doctors and imagination grow.” —Churehill, Household Hints. A cake that rises in the middle and bursts open may have too much flour in it, or the oven too hot at the be ginning. When any baked mixture has large holes in it, making it coarse grained, too much baking powder has been used. Many people consider the sift- ing of flour several times to be a great task, but with two pieces of manilla paper one may sift it in a few turns of the wrist. As one of the secrets of suc- cess in cake making is the flour sift- ing, let that process be done well, for whatever is used to lighten the mix- ture must be well blended in order to do its work. The creaniing of the butter, adding the sugar a little at a time is another important point. Then the cutting and folding in of the beaten whites just at the last, and increasing the heat in baking. Never decrease it. Salad Dressings. One of the simplest of all salad dressings 1s the one of of! and vine gar called the French dressing. Olive oll {s so wholesome that the taste for it should be cultivated. Elderly peo- ple especially need the oil to limber up the stiffened joints and nourish the wasting tissues. ‘Where vinegar seems to disagree, lemon juice may be used. Use four parts of ofl to one of acid, as too much acid 1s not good for the stomach. ‘Add a half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper to the above amount, stirring with a fork or_spoon until well mixed. Some tastes like a bit of onion juice added to the dressing ‘or a cut clove of garlic might be rubbed on the inside of the bow! in which the dressing is mixed, ‘A salad dressing of sour cream with seasonings and a bit of vinegar ia liked by many, on cucumbers. _ Supreme of Strawberries. Fill a hollow mold with strawberry jelly made by using the strawberry juice and gelatine. Unmold and fill the center with ripe large berries and powdered sugar, with whipped cream. Serve very cold. Strawberries cut in halves and¢ served with pineapple makes a very good salad. Using French dressing made with lemon juice instead of ofl. ‘The pineapple may be cut in cubes or the strawberries heaped on a slice for each serving. Cocoanut Soup. Put the meat of half a cocoanut through a meat chopper two or three times until smooth. Cook gently one hour in one quart of white stock. ‘Thicken with one tablespoonful of rice flour or wheat flour, add ‘a tablespoonful of lemon juice, a bit of eayenne and ntumeg, and salt to taste. Rice boiled until soft ant put through a ricer may be used in- stead of rice flour.

Practically Announces That the Mon- roe Doctrine Will No Longer Be Recognized. Washington, D. C.—The Washing ton government was amazed to read that the German foreign office taking cognizance of irresponsible press re- ports has issued an insulting note to the United States. Substantially the German government is reported as saying to this government that Ger many will do as she pleases in Nica- ragua, President Taft and Secretary Knox have undertaken to establish a civilized government in that central American republic. Inferentially the German fulmination means that it is not for the’United States to inter- fere In any plans Germany may have and that in turn means Germany will no longer observe her pledge regard for the Monroe doctrine. Germany’s adherence to that principle was stated to this government by Dr. Von Hole- ben ambassador by Baron Von Stern- berg and others. 3 The United States will ascertain im- mediately whether the German foreign office issued such a statement which 4s contrary to all precedents and therefore doubly amazing. Officially, the United States says It does not care whether or not Germany has made such a statement. It will not affect the United States political- ly in Nicaragua. The United States would not permit Germany to inter- fere physically in any plan the United States has for the pacification of Nica- ragua. AN ENGLISH AVIATOR KILLED Charles 8. Rolls Fell 100 Feet With Wright Biplane and Died Al- most Instantly. Bournemouth, England—The first flying tournament of the year in Eng- land was brought to a tragic close by the death of the most daring and pop- ular British aviator, the Hon. Charles S. Rolls, third son of Lord Llangat- tock. Without warning the tail piece of the biplane snapped ‘off. the machine gave a sudden lurch and the frame- work crumbled up in the air. When it struck the ground it was smashed to fragments. The doctors found that Rolls had suffered a fractured skull. The wreck of the machine and twisted stays surrounded the body so that there ivas difficulty in extricating it, immediately after the result of Rolls’ accident the committee announced that flying would be suspended for the day. ~ ELKS CHOSE ATLANTIC CITY Portland Made a Fight But Lacked Votes—Herrmann Was Elected ‘Grand Ruler.

NEW GRAIN GOING TO MARKET Wheat From Southwest Begins to Pour into Kansas City in Large Volume. Kansas City, Mo—Wheat from the fields of Oklahoma and Kansas has begun to pour into the Kausas City market in a large volume. ‘The farm- ers are happy and the Kansas City bankers look forward to an accumula- tion of funds here, and the paying off of loans to country banks in the next 60 or 90 days, Receipts of wheat in one day were 169 cars. That repre- sents a value of more than $200,060. Last year the shipment of wheat into Kansas City in July represented a value of more than $5,000,000, Grain- men expect more than 5,000 carloads here this month, which will mean $5,000,000 paid out through the banks here for wheat. But the money will come back, for the wheat will move to eastern and northern markets. A RIVER STEAMER SINKS The Cape Girardeau Went Down 50 Miles From St. Louis With 90 Passengers Aboard.

Never have I known of people being so ready to hear the Gospel as are the Koreans just now. I have had the privilege of doing a good deal of Personal work during the past few ‘weeks.

THE ELECTRICAL WORLD Peat will be the only fuel used in great German electric power station. An electric machine has been made to wash and purify the air in any room. Paper may be made a good electric conductor by impregnating it with carbon. Japan has now more than 200 telephone exchanges, more than twice the number it had two years ago. More than 20,000 20-candlepower incandescent lamp filaments can be made from a single pound of tantalum. A new electric desk lamp has the filament stretched out in a long line to distribute the light over a greater area than usual. The handle of a new electric torch is magnetized so that it will adhere to metal surfaces, leaving its user's hands free for work. The largest wireless station in Europe, that on the Adriatic sea at Pola, Austria-Hungary, includes a 300-foot tower built on a foundation of glass. Two California men have patented an electric flatiron with an automatic cut-off, so that the current is used only when the iron is in actual operation. Somewhat in line with the electrically lighted scarf pin is one devised by a French jeweler in which images of animals are made to move by motors supplied with power from a pocket battery. In an address recently made by Prof. John W. Whitehead of Johns Hopkins university it was pointed out that out of 220,000 miles of railroad in this country only 1,000 miles have as yet been electrified. To permit a motorist to explore dark corners of his car with a light and yet leave his hands free there has been invented an incandescent lamp and reflector to fasten to the forehead and take current from the car's batteries through a cord. An electric light plant in Nebraska is manufacturing ice as a by-product. The exhaust steam of the plant, which would otherwise go to waste, is utilized in the ammonia absorption process of ice manufacture, and also for distilling water from which the ice is made. OUTDOOR LAMPS LIGHT INSIDE Found Advisable to Illuminate Iowa Powder Mazagine by Arc Lamp Through Window. Is it practical to do indoor lighting with outdoor lamps? The suggestion sounds almost like a paradox and yet is not that what we universally do in the daytime when we get our indoor illumination from the outdoor sun? Were we not spoiled by the advances made in artificial lighting by means of lamps placed in all sorts of indoor locations, the idea of leaving the lamps out of doors might not seem so preposterous, says Popular Electricity. It is unusual, to be sure, and yet there are occasions where this is not only practical but advisable. One of these was found some years ago in connection with a powder magazine located on the outskirts of an Iowa town, where the only available current was that of a direct current arc circuit. An incandescent circuit might safely have been carried right into the structure, and an alternating current OLE Throws Light Through Window. might have been transformed to a suitably low voltage for this purpose, but to bring the high voltage arc circuit into the powder magazine seemed risky. So the lamps were hung out of doors close to thick glass windows, but instead of the usual glass globe each was fitted with a reflector which threw the light inside. Telephone Telegraph The telephone telegraph is the idea of three Danish engineers, and its purpose is to leave a recorded message for any subscriber called when away or otherwise prevented from responding to the call. The transmitting apparatus includes a keyboard like that of the ordinary typewriter. The receiving apparatus prints the message on a tape in ordinary characters, and single communications or a series of them can be sent at any time, to await prompt attention on the subscriber's return. WIRELESS OUTFIT IS UNIQUE Successfully Operated Without Ground Connection at Either End—Ap paratus on Bicycle. The sending of wireless messages through space without a ground at either station has been demonstrated by two inventors of Brooklyn, N. Y., Messrs. I. Wolf and H. Mohler, where they took part in the Memorial day parade with their complete sending and receiving stations mounted on bicycles, says Popular Mechanics. One of the inventors took the position at the end of the procession, while the Diagram of Sending Station NEGATIVE POSITIVE COIL INDUCTION COIL KEY other was leading, making a distance of about 1½ miles between them. No ground wire was used and the rubber tires prevented any connection through the frame and wheels. The sending apparatus of the station on the bicycle consisted of a two-inch induction coil, a zinc spark gap, a home-made rubber plate multiple-series condenser, which was used for transmission of the electrical waves, and a large wireless key that operated the coil. The receiving instruments consisted of a pair of 3,000 ohm double-head telephone receivers, a silicon detector and a noninductive potentiometer. The entire outfit, including the battery, was mounted on a board 10 by 22 inches, which was fastened to the handle bar of the bicycle as shown in the photographs. The aerial consisted of a three-wire system mounted on a seven-foot pole, which was attached to the seat of the bicycle. Each of the three wires are ten feet long and insulated at the top and bottom. The transmitting and receiving instruments were connected with very heavy rubber-insulated wire. The op Diagram of Receiving Station SILICON DETECTOR POTENTIOMETER BATTERY TELEPHONE RECEIVER erator would guide the bicycle with one hand and work the key with the other. The interesting part of this outfit was the aerial used for sending the electrical discharges. The wires were divided into two parts; one part consisted of two wires connected to the positive terminal of the induction coll, while the other, or single wire, was connected to the negative. In both diagrams A represents the top of the aerial B the bottom. VARIOUS USES OF SILUNDUM May Take Place or Platinum In Apparatus for Meiting Brass and Many Other Metals. Silundum, the new material for in dustrial and domestic apparatus made in the electric furnace of F. Bolling, a German engineer, is now being supplied commercially by a special factory in Switzerland. It is a form of silicon carbide produced by saturating carbon with silicon, which is a vapor at about 1,600 degrees C., and the product differs from carburundum, the amorphous or crystalline silicon carbide, it being a very hard and resistant mass retaining the shape originally given the carbon. That is, the carbon, as bricks, rods or utensils, may be coated with or entirely converted into silundum by heating in silicon vapor. Below 1,600 degrees C., silundum does not melt or oxidize, and it is expected to find a large field as a cheap, resisting and durable substance for the heating rods or grids of electric kitchen ranges. As it can be given a high temperature without risk of overheating, the ranges may have the glowing heat of a coal fire. As silundum is not affected by acids or chemicals, it may take the place of platinum for many uses, especially in apparatus for melting brass, aluminum, lead and other metals, and for laboratory ovens requiring high temperature. It is attacked by very hot metalen metals, from which it may be protected by a thin coating of platinum. Wireless for Airships. Now that aerial navigation is coming to be considered seriously, new problems are arising, such as the question of navigation on starless nights or over fog-bound land, when the aeronaut will be unable to find his bearings. It has been proposed by a German inventor, that a network of wireless stations be established over the land, each automatically sending out a predetermined signal at regular intervals, which would be received by the air craft, and enable the aeronaut to determine his course. The airships would not be required to carry transmitting apparatus, as a small receiving apparatus would suffice to enable them to avail themselves of this proposed system, and the weight of the receiving device could easily be kept down to a few pounds. Of the 282 steamships which carried steerage passengers across the Atlantic during the first half of 1909 143 were equipped with wireless instr You Look Prematurely Old HE'D HAD SOME HARD KNOCKS.

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM HEAD TO FEET "Four years ago I suffered severely with a terrible eczema, being a mass of sores from head to feet and for six weeks confined to my bed. During that time I suffered continual torture from itching and burning. After being given up by my doctor I was advised to try Cuticura Remedies. After the first bath with Cuticura Soap and application of Cuticura Ointment I enjoyed the first good sleep during my entire illness. I also used Cuticura Resolvent and the treatment was continued for about three weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about the house, entirely cured, and have felt no ill effects since. I would advise any person suffering from any form of skin trouble to try the Cuticura Remedies, as I know what they did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning, 1112 Salina St., Watertown, N. Y., Apr. 11, 1909." COUNTRY'S WEALTH IN OIL Industry That Has Grown to Enormous proportions Within a Few Years. The production of oil in the United States has grown from nothing at the time of its discovery to enormous proportions. Millions of barrels have been taken from the country near the western slope of the Alleghenies in western Pennsylvania, and millions more from the districts in West Virginia and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its share and Illinois has been productive beyond the dreams of avarice. It remained, however, for Kansas and Oklahoma, together with the Indian Territory, to open the eyes of the modern driller and capitalists. When the soil was first tapped in the wildcatting operations of that section great gushers rewarded the efforts of the men who had the courage and capital to engage in the enterprise. The usual rush followed, but many thousands of acres had been already taken up and the war for supremacy began. A Protection Against the Heat. A Protection Against the Heat.

The Atchison Globe says that no advertiser has ever tried to control its editorial policy, the remark being occasioned by the charge often made nowadays, that the big advertisers direct the editorial policy of newspapers. the editorial policy of newspapers. The experience of the Globe is the experience of most newspapers. The merchant who does a great deal of advertising is more interested in the circulation department of a newspaper than in the editorial department. If a daily paper goes to the homes of the people, and is read by them, he is satisfied, and it may chase after any theory or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles of his own, and he isn't trying to shoulder those of the editorial brethren. der those of the editorial brethren. There are newspapers controlled by people outside of the editorial rooms, and a good many of them, more's the pity; but the people exercising that control are not the business men who pay their money for advertising space. The newspapers which are established for political purposes are often controlled by chronic officeseekers, whose first concern is their own interests. There are newspapers controlled by great corporations, and the voice of such newspapers is always raised in protest against any genuine reform. The average western newspaper usually is controlled by its owner, and he is supposed to be in duty bound to make all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of times; there are people who consider it his duty to insult his advertisers, just to show that he is free and independent. If he shows a decent respect for his patrons, who pay him their money, and make it possible for him to carry on the business, he is "subsidized" or "controlled." The newspaper owner is a business man, like the dry goods man or the grocer. The merchants are expected to have consideration for their customers, and they are not supposed to be subsidized by the man who spends five dollars with them, but the publisher is expected to demonstrate his courage by showing that he is ungrateful for the patronage of his friends. It is a funny combination when you think it over.—Emporia Gazette. The Lost Chords. The village concert was to be a great affair. They had the singers, they had the program sellers, they had the doorkeepers and they would doubtless have the audience. All they needed was the piano, but that they lacked. Nor could they procure one anywhere. At last the village organist learned that one was possessed by Farmer Hayseed, who lived "at the top o' the ill." Forthwith he set out with two men and a van. "Take it, an' welcome," said Hayseed cordially "I've no objections' s-long as ye put 'Pyenner by Hayseed' on the program." They carted it away. "An' I wish 'em joy of it," murmured Mrs. Hayseed, as the van disappeared from sight. "Wish 'em joy of it," repeated Hayseed. "What d'ye mean?" "Well, I mean I only 'ope they'll find all the notes they want," replied the good woman. "Cos, ye see, when I wanted a bit o' wire I allus went to the old planner for it."

To the keen disappointment of a large group of newspaper correspondents, Mr. Roosevelt absolutely refused, as heretofore, to be interviewed or to talk on political subjects, but his rapid fire of questions showed the same virile interest in public affairs as before. If the welcome tendered by the vast-throng may be considered a criterion upon which to base a "return from Elba," surely there was no discordant note in the immense reception-parade, nor in the wildly clamorous crowd which cheered at every glimpse and hung on his very word. The incidents of the day in New York were many, but perhaps none better illustrated the nervous energy and vitality of the man, the near-mania to be up-and-doing, which he has brought back to us, than the discarding of horses and carriages for the swiffer and more reliable automobiles.

PRICE immediate party landed, they were whisked away in White Steamers to the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at 433 Fifth avenue. A little later, when the procession reached the corner of Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue, Colonel Roosevelt again showed his preference for the motor car in general and the White cars in particular, when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Collector Loeb transferred from their carriage to White Steamers, which were in waiting for them. After luncheon at Mr. Robinson's house, the entire party, including Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White cars and were driven to Long Island City, where they were to take a special train to the ex-President's home at Oyster Bay. The supremacy of the White cars with the Roosevelt party was again demonstrated on Sunday, when the party was driven to church in the White Steamers, and a group of some forty prominent Rough Riders were taken in a White Gasoline Truck to a clambake at the Travers island clubhouse of the New York Athletic Club. Many Women who are Splendid Cooks dread having to prepare an elaborate dinner because they are not sufficiently strong to stand over an intensely hot coal range. This is especially true in summer.

SHOULD THEY CHANGE TIME OF MEETING. It has been an open, quiet discussion for several years of advisability of the colored Grand Lodges changing the time of their meetings. As it is now, most all of the colored Grand Lodges of this state meet in July and August, two of the most unpleasant months in th year for large numbers of people to come together in large bodies. The results are very unsatisfactory from a stand-point of personal comfort. And again, by them all meeting in the month and practically at the same time, it makes it very inconvenient for accommodation of those who would desire to meet each and all. While it may not be expedient nor wise to change the time of meeting, yet it would not be inopportune to at least consider such a proposition and find out if there are any merits in them. A Prayer Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we thank thee that thy omniscent love broods over the world and warms and saves humanity. It gives us confidence in ourselves and thee, and enables us to make the world a brighter place to live in. Therefore, as we begin each new day we beseech thee so to breathe upon us with thy Holy Spirit that we may be conscious of thy presence every hour, and sustained by thy marvelous peace through Jesus Christ our Lord. ```markdown ``` Gear FT.
