Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT A Great Session Held By Tabors The Omaha Session Surpassed All Previous Grand Sessions. TWELTH YEAR A Great S Held The Omaha Sessi Previous Gra It Is A Truth, that each ses sion of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, Kansas-Nebraska Jurisdiction is better than the one which preceded it. In point of attendance, in finances, in unexcelled work, in fervent interest and in every way that shows progress and prosperity, the sessions of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle of this jurisdiction stands without a peer or an equal. The Nineteenth Annual Session of this splendid Order held in Omaha, Nebraska, July 12-to 16, is no exception to this rule laid down. For in every way the session held in Omaha was all that could be wished and was a most pronounce success in every way. SESSION The Ninetenth Annual Session was opened by Reu, Sir. Frank Wilson, Chief Grand Mentor, at promptly 10 a.m. Tuesday morning, July 12th. in the usual manner. In opening the Nineteenth Annual Session Rev. Frank Wilson said in part: "Sir Knights and Daughters, I am proud to meet with you again face to face in another Annual Grand Session I wish to call your attention to the fact that the whole civilized world has its eyes on you and are eagerly watching to see what you do and how you do. You have met here for the purpose of reviewing the work of the past year, to legislate for the Order of Twelve and you are making history that cannot be altered or changed. The work which you will do during this Grand Session will be handed down to future generations yet unborn and will tell them what you—their forefathers and mothers have done. In each place which you have met you have left a good record as law biding, peaceable and upright men and women. I trust that each of you will make himself and herself a committee of one and by your gentlemanly and lady conduct while in the city of Omaha make a record second to none in the other cities in which you have mee and that we will leave a pleasant memory in the minds of the people of this city of our meeting here and that when we shall have gone, all can feel that our session here has been profitable and beneficial not only to the members of our Order and to our race, but to humanity in general." The morning session was devoted to regular routine work. In the afternoon the Grand Session listened to the Address of welcome which was very ably delivered bp Dtr* Mary Corpone of Omaha and owing to the illness of Dtr. Laura Lee, the response was delivered by Sir. Jas. T. Smith, of Wichita, Kansas. Tuesday night the Knights and Daughters of Omaha tendered a splendid reception to the delegates and visitors at Orthoff, s Hall where the Order was joined by public. A very interesting and in structive program was carried out under the direction of Sir. Charles M. Johnson, Grand Presiding Prince, who lives in Omaha On behalf of the people of the city of Omaha Hon. C. O. Lobeck appeared and in the stead of Hon James C. Dahlam, Mayor of Omaha who was called out of the city, delivered a most cordial of welcome to the Grand Temple and Tabernaele. This address was responded to on behalf of Grand Temple and Tabernaele by Sir. W. N. Miller, of Wichita. Others who responded to places on the program were Hon. J. G. Pegg, of Omaha, Nick Childs, of Topeka, Dtr. Emma Gaines Chief Grand Preceptress, Nick childs and Rev. Sir Frank Wilson Chief Grand Mentor. A very tastful and appetizing menue was served at the banquet table. One of the most noteworthy of events of the session was when the time had arrived for the Grand Temple and Tabernacle to listen to the report of their Chief Grand Mentor, Reu. Frank Wilson, He read his Annual Message, which was a document filled with good and wholesome thought which reviewed the work of the entire jurisdiction in a manner that was plain and lucid. This was the Nineteenth Annual Message of Rev. Frank Wilson to the Grand Temple and Tabernacle and at its conclusion there were many on the floor of the Grand Session with an eagerness to show their approval of this most remarkable document just read by this most remarkable man of progress Upon motion the rules were suspended amid a great era of enthusiasm which almost took some of the delegates from their feet and Rev. Frank Wilson was unanimously re-elected Chief Grand Mentor for this jurisdiction to serve for his Twentieth year. Following the report of the Chief Grand Preceptress, Dtr, Emma Gaines who had served the Order of Twelve for the past Seventeen years as their Chief Grand Preceptress. Her report was one of great interest and every Knight and Daughter was highly pleased with it. On motion the rules were suspended and Daughter Emma Gaines was unanimously re-elected Chief Grand Preceptres by acclamation. The other Grand officers made their report all of which were creditable and filled with wholesome information of the Order's progress. The report of these Grand officers showed that the men and women who comprised this order in this jurisdiction are doing a remarkable work and showed that the Order is making a rapid progress. In the after noon Dtr. Laura Lee of Weir, Kansas, who was to have delivered the response to the address of welcome, but who was prevented on account of illness, was heartily received by the Session. Wednesday night the Grand Temple and Tabernacle went to the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. building where they listened to the Grand Annual sermon of which was delivered by Rev. M. Wooten, Chief Grand Orator. This was one of the largest attended of Grand Annual Sermons and was filled with as much enthusiasm as any Grand Sermon in the history of the Order. Thursday morning the Grand Temple and Tabernacle resolved itself into a Memorial services in memory of the departed Knights and Daughters. This, as usual, was a most solemn occasion; yet one highly befitting and appropriate Thursday afternoon the election of officers was held with the following results: Sir Daniels L. Taylor, of Salina, was elected as Vice Grand Mentor; Dtr. Laura Lee of Weir Kansas, was elected Vice Grand preceptress: Sir Albert W. Hopkins, of Leavenworth Kansas, was re-elected Chir Grand Scribe, for his Nineteenth term; Sir. William Core of Topeka Kansas, was re-elected Chief Grand Treasurer, for his Eighteenth term; Dtr. Sarah W. Forbes was unanimously re-elected Chief Grand Recorder for her eighteenth year; Sir Charles M. Johnson of Omaha Neb. was re-elected Grand Presiding Prince; Dtr. Besie Hall of Ft. Scott was re-elected as Grand Queen Mother; Sir M. Wooten, of Hutchinson, Kansas was re-elected as Chief Grand Orator; Dtr. Pauline Woodfork of Kansas City, Kansas, was re-elected as Chief Grand Priestess, Dtr. Maggie Robinson, of Kans, City Kansas, was re-elected as Grand Inner Sentinel. General Attorney Rev. Frank Wilson in his annual message recommended to the Grand Session that Sir, W. N. Miller, of Wichita, Kansas, be appointed and named as General Attorney and Legal Advisor for the Grand Temple and Tabernacle. His recommendation was approved and thus Sir Miller became the General Attorney for this large body of members of his race comprising the largest colored secret society in the west. This appointment came as great surprise to Sir Miller and almost brought him to his feet when he heard it read. On the part of Sir Miller we can say that he highly appreciates the honor conferred on him. Thursday night the Knights and Daughters of Omaha gave a big entertainment at which the Rebecca Drill Team of Kansas City Kansas gave an exhibition drill. This team is composed of Daughters of Order under the command of Dtr. Lena Downs, of that city. It can be said of a truth that these daughters are indeed well drilled and are credit to not only the order, but to the race as well. Music for the occasion was furnished by the splendid Brass band of Omaha. Friday morning at 11 o'clock the Knights and Daugh- ters prepared themselves for the big Annual Parade. They formed at the hall and Daughters were placed in carriages while all the Knights formed a line of march and headed by the splendid Taborian band they marched through the principal treets. The procession was about six blocks long and was a most imposing sight in every way. Friday night was the installation of the officers and thus came to an end the Nineteenth annual session. The Wichita Searchlight was again chosen as the official Organ and Coffeyville was chosen as the next place of meeting in 1911. Joseph Bowman's Mr. Bowman's fitness for the office he now holds has been recognized, and the administration of the office has been approved and complimented by all who have had occasion to do business in the office of Reg. of Deed. We have yet to here adverse criticism from any man either democrat or republican which of itself is sufficiate to comend him to all who appreciate efficient public service: His long experience in office work qualifies him for the position he seeks and readers of the Searchlight will make no mistake in giving him their cordial supporn. Mr. Bowman has many warm friends among the colored people of Wichita and they know him to be a man who can shake a black mans hand as warmly as the man of his own color. A. J. ADAMS Prominent Lawyer Candidate for County Attorney A lawyer of recognized ability and high standing, and a clean, honorable gentleman who commands the respect of both allies and opponents in political affair A. J. Adams will go before the primaries a formidable, candidate for the important office of county attorney of Sedgwick Co At the Republican primaries two years ago Mr. Adams was nominated by an overwhelming majority, but was defeated at the polls, together with half the other Republican nominees, making a strong race, however, in the face of the fact that his democratic opponent was a man of unusual strength and popularity, running for a second term. Mr. Adams justly feels that he is entitled to a second nomination. Mr. Adam's repentation as an open, fearless political fighter is well known to his constituents. That if elected he will adhere to his declared principals of strict enforcement of the law without fear or favor, is unquestioned by all who enjoy the pleasure of his acquaintance. Mr. Adam's father was a veteran of the civil war, and the son inherits the same Republican principles and instincts of loyalty which impelled the sire to fight the battles of his country. Two years ago, Mr. Adams was president of the Young Men's Republican Club of Sedgwick County, but resigned when nominated for the office. Manual Lost While attending the Grand Temple and Tabernacle in Omaha I left my Manual in the Hall and came away from Omaha leaving it. The Manual has the name of Taborian Temple No. 11 and that of W. N. Miller on the front fly leaf, The Knight or Daughter who found it will kindly send it to me at my expense. If there are any charges I will pay them. I am W. N. Miller, 630 N. Main St Wiehita, Kansas Musical Recital A grand musical recital will be given at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Wednesday night Aug. 17, under the direction of Prof. N. Clark Smith. This promises to be one of the most enjoyable musical treats ever witnessed ann heard in Wichita. Looks Like A Winner Although Judge Jrssie D. Wall Wichita's popular Police Judge was about the last man to announce himself for the office of Probate Judge, yet he is developing a most remarkable following and it looks now as though Judge Wall will be the lucky man and receive the Republican nomination for office of Probate Judge. It is simply wonderful how the "Rand-Wagon-" To those who know Judge Wall best this is not a bit a strange because Judge Wall is popular, qualified, friendly and above all is a hustler. It is simply the "Judge Wall way" of doing things. Casler L. Wood for Sheriff Possibly better known as Casler L. Wood has been a resident of the city of Wichita for the last thirty years. As a republican he has always supporting the republican nominees. As to his cap abilities and manly qualities he can't be excelled for that office. He is rich in experience having worked on police force of our city. His fearlessness and quiet unassuming ways won him the admiration of everybody. Mr. Wood is a self made man educated and refined is also a though gentleman. A vote for Mr. Wood will not only be for a republican but for a man of high ideas and a standard of excellence that is equalled by few aspiring for any office. He kindly and considerately asks your support at the Primaries August 2nd not only as a Republican but as a man, an honest one and a just one—One that will show no special favors to anybody. But will endeavor to treat everybody with deceny and respect. NO.15 Notes of Omaha Session. Brown's Palitine Guards of Atchison, Kansas, won new laurels for themselves, for Atchison and for the Order of Twelve by their splendid drilling at the session held in Atchison last week. There is no questioning of the fact that these Knights are well drilled men. Three cheers for the Brown Palitine Guards of Atchison. Omaha did herself credit in the most acceptable manner in which the people of that city entertained the session. Coffeyville is now satisfied since the next session of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle will meet in that city in 1911. Sir. W. N. Miller left a Manual in the Hall with the name Taborian Temple No.11 in it while he was attending the session in Omaha. The Knight or Daughter who was found this Manual will please forward the same to him at 630 N. Main Street, Wichita, Kansas and he will pay liberally for your trouble. Sir Geo, W. Obee condvets first class undertaking business in Omaha. WHY S. N. BRIDGMAN SHOULD BE ELECTED SHERIFF. He is thoroughly qualified. No man in Sedgwick county is more peculiarly fitted by education and long training in court processes for the position of Sheriff. He is familiar with every detail of the work. Throughout his years of labor as a court clerk no question of his integrity, honesty, efficiency and square dealing has ever been raised. His word is good as eevry colored man in Wichita knows. He is a PROVEN friend to our race; not an experiment. Open, frank and big-hearted his hand has always been raised to help any of our people in sickness or distress. No worthy colored man ever went to Newt Bridgman with a meritorious cause and went away unassisted. With hi mas Sheriff all of us know we will have a "friend at court" and will receive exact justice at his hands. His word is good; a promise once made is a guarantee known of all men, that it will be fulfilled to the letter. Sedgwick county has the opportunity to select a candidate for Sheriff this year who will be a credit to the county, as well as a guaranty of faithful and efficient administration of the affairs of the office. Vote for S. N. Bridgman for sheriff at the primaries August 2, and you will be paying a long deferred tribute to a true friend as well as a deserving honor to a loyal and patriotic citizen. See that the X-mark is placed after his name when you vote for sheriff. MOTHER'S AID CLUB. The Mothers' Aid Club will hold their praise meeting Sunday July 24, at the residence of Mrs. Belle Wallace, 847 Eagle. The address will be delivered by Hon. John T. Chinneth. Come out. JASPER H. CHILDERS DEAD. The many friends and acquaintances of Jasper H. Childers will regret very much to learn of his death in his home city of Topeka. We will give more particulars in our next issue. E spirit of the west is optimism and progress. It is the spirit that fired the hearts of our forefathers who erected in the primeval forests of New England the superstructure of the greatest nation on earth. It is the optimism and faith which imbued their descendants who carved an agricultural enrichness from the Missis- pire of unparalleled richness from the Mississippi valley. so unpromising that it the halls of congress, the the land of fortune and this dis- is is a to mage silled tant op- furful its the of the its sting work mental in noose nations its accel- e of up in- to noose and mon- cast the sting gene. culp- ted and in and in Once a wilderness so unpromising that it evoked derision in the halls of congress, the west has become today the land of fortune and opportunity. In this their awe-inspiring depths. Its deserts, in vastness of area, in potential wealth of soil and climate, and in rivers of constant supply, are sleeping empires awaiting exploitation and development. Here nature offers to every man his birthright—a wide sky, the sunshine, the wind, and a sure reward for intelligent effort. Here things are writ in characters too vast for human pen. The late Gov. John A. Johnson well said the west symbolizes "homes for the homeless, food for the hungry, work for the unemployed, land for the landless, gold for the penniless, freedom for the enslaved, adventure for the restless, dangers for the brave, an unknown world to conquer, and room for all." Irrigation has wrought its miracle and 13,000,000 acres reclaimed are annually producing harvests valued at more than $250,000,000 and supporting in homes of their own more than 300,000 families. The wealth of that portion of the country which great statesmen in Webster's day were wont to declare worthless is greater now than that of the entire nation in 1860. In the swift march of national events during the past decade, the development of the west has focused the attention of the world. It furnishes one of the most inspiring pages in the annals of our commonwealth. It is a story of progress and human achievement—a battle with nature in her sternest and most forbidding aspect. Future writers will record the irrigation movement as an epoch in our history the far-reaching influence of which overshadowed in importance any other progressive movement since the opening to settlement of the Mississippi valley. The reclamation of vast areas of our arid and semi-arid regions, which is being promoted by the federal government and by large corporations working in conjunction with several states, is of profound economic importance to the nation. *The additional opportunities thus created for home makers are already serving to check the undesirable efflux of the country people to the city. Millions of acres of desert, unleached by rain and storing in its bosom the fertility gathered there by centuries of washings from hills and mountains, are being quickened by life-giving water. Cities, populous and great, have sprung up; rural communities, attractive and prosperous, broad vistas of fertile fields and blossoming orchards whose yields are prolific beyond comparison, replace the wastes of sand and sage brush. Economic forces are at work today in the country, and particularly in the arid west, which are gradually but surely shaping our agricultural development along new lines. In many parts of the irrigated country agriculture now occupies a position of greater dignity among the vocations than ever before. Its place among the scientific professions is now recognized and it is calling more strongly every day for the best talent and brains the nation affords. opportunity. In this land of boundless distances the altitude is stimulating, the air is a tonic, giving health to the infirm and courage to those who have failed elsewhere. Its constant sunshine encourages optimism and cheerfulness. The glories of its opal-tinted dawns, the indescribable beauty of its sunsets and the nameless witchery of its twilight softly melting into night are the work of a divine painter. There is a mental and spiritual uplift in its mountains, whose summits are in regions of perpetual snow. Its sapphire lakes, excelling in beauty those of Switzerland, open up a wondrous field of interest and pleasure to the sightseer and those in search of rest and recreation. The monarchs of its forests cast their shadows on the earth before the coming of the gentle Nazarene. Its canons, sculptured during uncounted centuries by wind and wave, are unrivaled in their wonderful and varied coloring and in THE CALIFORNIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY LOOKING DOWN INTO TETON CAYTON, YAKIMA PROJECT, WASHINGTON The reclamation service began its work in 1902 on the passage of the reclamation act. The first contract was let in September of the next year and, on June 17, 1905, an important project in Nevada was formally opened. Progress has been rapid and the activities of the bureau have been extended to 26 or more projects, which to date have involved the expenditure of $60,000,000. In the seven and one-half years of its work the service has built 4,215 miles of canal. Placed end to end, these canals would reach from Washington to San Francisco and back to New Orleans. Several of these canals carry whole rivers. It has excavated 17 miles of tunnels. Before the end of the year it will have completed four of the highest dams in the world. Its excavations of rock and earth amount to the enormous total of 60,000,000 cubic yards. Its roads have a total length of 417 miles; telephones, 1,127 miles; levees, 70 miles. It has purchased 915,751 barrels of cement and has manufactured in its own mill 340,000 barrels. As a result of its work water is available for 750,000 acres on 13,000 farms. The gross value of crops produced on the lands irrigated by the government projects in 1910 was $14,038,000. As a result of the work of the government it is estimated that land values have increased more than $105,800,000. The reclamation service is entering 1910 with money and plans for completing most of its larger and unfinished masonry structures and with about three-quarters of a million of acres of arid land under irrigation. It will finish this year the great Roosevelt dam in Arizona, one of the most massive in the world. It has completed the Shoshone dam, in northern Wyoming, the highest structure of its kind ever built; the Pathfinder dam, in southern Wyoming, and the Laguna dam, in Arizona. It will for the first time utilize the Gunnison tunnel, whose completion was celebrated by President Taft last summer. The funds available for construction are somewhat less than in previous years, and the organization, which is very elastic, has been cut down to fit reduced expenditures. About fifty skilled men—engineers, experts and technical assistants—have either sought private employment, have been transferred to other bureaus of the government or put on furlough, in order to keep the overhead charges consistent with the expenditures. Reviewing the history of the reclamation service as a whole, its maximum activity and expenditures were in the year 1907. In 1902 the expenditures were less than $100,000, and in 1903 less than $1,000,000. In 1904 they were $2,500,000; in 1905, $5,000,000; in 1906, a little less than $10,000,000; in 1907, nearly $14,000,000. Then the expenditures decreased to $10,000,000 in 1908, to about $5,000,000 in 1909, and in 1910 they will be a little under $8,000,000. It is expected that in 1911 they will shrink to about $7,000,000, which sum will probably continue to be available during after years, assuming that the water-right charges are paid as they fall due. This is the most critical period in the history of national irrigation since the passage of the reclamation act, in 1902. By public notices of the secretary of the interior, issued last year, hundreds of water-right installations, involving approximately $1,000,000, became due on April 1, 1910. That date is a memorable one, not only to the settlers, whose entries are liable to cancellation for failure to make the payments due, but also to the reclamation service, which is concerned in securing the return of its investment in the engineering works. It is also a matter of interest to citizens of the number of sections containing feasible projects, the construction of which cannot be undertaken without additional funds. As the repayments are made through the local land offices and not directly to the service, some time must elapse before the actual amounts collected are known. On a number of the projects, like Sun River, Shoshone and Huntley, the settlers have already made their initial payments and will not be delinquent on the second installment until April, 1911, which enables them to market two crops between payments. On several other projects, such as the Minidoka, Klamath, Lower Yellowstone, Belle Fourche, Carlsbad, Truckee-Carson, North Platte and others, the first settlers have had the use of water for two crops, and it is probable that a majority will be able to meet their obligations without difficulty. Detailed reports from various sources on each of the projects have been received at Washington. The conditions as a whole are described as favorable for a large return to the reclamation fund. On several of the projects there will be no delinquents. On a number of projects the engineering work is not fully completed, but water is ready for large areas and is being supplied on a rental basis pending the announcement of the actual cost of water right. The reclamation service has derived considerable revenue from these sources and at the same time the farmers have been enabled to increase the areas in cultivation. The following financial statement is interesting as showing the status of the reclamation fund and the amounts which thus far have been credited to it through the operations of the reclamation service: Total moneys received and transferred to the reclamation fund from sales of public lands under reclamation act to February 28, 1910, $58,342,617.02. Approximately $4,500,000 are still in the treasury of the United States, but not yet available. Moneys received under operations of reclamation act from all sources in cash and credits, for work done, $2,379,475.04, divided as follows: Town-lot sales, $10,673.91; miscellanea A THE GATE HIGHEST DAM IN THE WORLD THE SHOHONE DAM, WYOMING --- ous sales, water rentals, etc., $1,694,844.77, collections on water rights, $814,145.34. This does not include any of the moneys collected for the water rights which were due and payable April 1, 1910. Among the several large projects, one of especial interest is located in northern Wyoming. When the springtime showers and sunshine fall upon the snowy peaks of the lofty mountains on the eastern rim of Yellowstone park a thousand streams will rush downward to fill to brimming the swift-flowing Shoshone river. An important physical change will occur at that time. The flood that once, unchecked and uncontrolled, swept madly through the rock-walled gorge will beat itself to stillness against a massive wall of concrete with which man has blocked the canon. A beautiful lake, 100 feet deep and covering ten square miles, will appear. In this wonderful gash in the mountains, with perpendicular walls a thousand feet high, the government has erected the highest dam in the world. It is a wedge of concrete 328 feet from base to top. Its height can only be appreciated when compared with that of some well-known structure. New York's famous Flatiron building would not reach within 47 feet of the top of the dam, and the tip-up of the dome of the United States capitol would fall short 21 feet of the parapet. In the summer, when the crops are thirsty, the big gates will be opened and the pent-up foods will be released into the river below. men of moderate means to secure homes in a prosperous and growing country. Close to the Black Hills, in South Dakota, lies the beautiful valley of Belle Fourche, containing 100,000 acres of grass-covered prairie. Many miles of canals have been laid across its level surface, and what was only a short time ago the finest free cattle range in this country is rapidly becoming a compactly settled agricultural community. An impressive engineering feature of this project is the Owl Creek dam, one of the longest and highest earthen embankments in the world. This structure, now nearing completion, is 6,200 feet long, has a maximum height of 115 feet and contains 1,600,000 cubic yards of material. The Roosevelt dam, which is about completed as you read the story today, is in many respects the most remarkable structure of its kind in the world. Its towering height, 280 feet, its length on top, 1,080 feet, the inspiring scenery in which it is located and the enormous capacity of the reservoir created by it combine to make it one of the most stupendous engineering works of modern times. Conceive, if you can, two valleys—one 12 miles, the other 15 miles in length, and each from one to three miles wide—transformed into a lake 200 feet deep in places and containing enough water to cover Delaware a foot deep. The Salt River reservoir, when full, has a capacity sufficient to fill a canal 300 feet wide and 19 feet deep extending from Chicago to San Francisco. My one regret is that the space allotted me is too little to permit me to describe the charms and advantages of other projects of the government. I should like to tell you of the opportunities on the Klamath project, located in southern Oregon, in a region of unrivaled scenic beauty; of the wonderful progress made in the Boise valley, in Idaho, and the promise of even greater advance as the work of the government nears completion; of the Orland project, in the Sacramento valley, the land of fruits and flowers; of the Rio Grande valley, where there will one day be erected the most stupendous dam in the west—a region in which irrigation began before the Spanish invasion, which will become fruitful and prosperous.

The beacon of hope shines brightly in the west. It beckons the landless man to the man less land. --- Another dam, a low structure of concrete, will divert the waters through a tunnel $3 \frac{1}{4}$ miles long into a canal which for 40 miles passes along the upper edge of a broad and fertile valley containing 150,000 acres. Two years ago it was a desolate waste. Today it contains more than 200 farm houses and three thriving towns. Ten thousand acres produced crops last year on this project.

His Claim to Prominence At a social gathering a certain man intent on knowing every one, was introduced to Senator Julius C. Burrows of Michigan. "The name Burrows is very familiar to me," he said. "I am certain that you are a man of some prominence." "Yes," replied Senator Burrows. "I am the man that 'died at first' just before Casey came to bat in that celebrated ball game in Mudville."—Success Magazine. It Would Depend. "Would you marry a man who wore side whiskers?" "I might if I thought it would be worth while to reform him." HARD TO PLEASE Regarding the Morning Cup. "Oh how hard it was to part with coffee, but the continued trouble with constipation and belching was such that I finally brought myself to leave it off. "Then the question was, what should we use for the morning drink? Tea was worse for us than coffee; chocolate and cocoa were soon tired of; milk was not liked very well, and hot water we could not endure. "About two years ago we struck upon Postum and have never been without it since. "We have seven children. Our baby now eighteen months old would not take milk, so we tried Postum and found she liked it and it agreed with her perfectly. She is today, and has been, one of the healthiest babies in the State. "I use about two-thirds Postum and one-third milk and a teaspoon of sugar, and put it into her bottle. If you could have seen her eyes sparkle and hear her say "good" today when I gave it to her, you would believe me that she likes it. "If I was matron of an infants' home, every child would be raised on Postum. Many of my friends say, 'You are looking so well!' I reply, 'I am well: I drink Postum. I have no more trouble with constipation, and know that I owe my good health to God and Postum.' "I am writing this letter because I want to tell you how much good Postum has done us, but if you knew how I shrink from publicity, you would not publish this letter, at least not over my name." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs, "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. It examines, true, and fails at human interest. \WWhen the Princess Chooses cis eee By NELLIE CRAVEY GILMORE gelicl.

He returned to New York from a vistt home, to find his wife buried and the child vanished.

We had better start!” ‘he girl hesitated a ttle, then without a word, she moved toward the big scarlet car that belonged to the duke of Reverly. Somehow, her foot caught in a tangled bit of grass and she tripped. The chauffeur caught her in his arms. For a moment he held her close, so close that he could feel the quick throbbing of her heart against his own; the tremulous rush of her warm breath against his cheek. ‘The touch of her, helpless in his em- brace, thrilled—intoxicated him, swept away the last vestige of self-contros, and he covered her eyes, her hair, ner lips, with kisses, “In spite of all, you do care, you do!” he cried fiercely, as she struggled an instant, then yielded herself to his ‘caresses. ‘The Princess” opened her eyes at rast ‘and met the man’s own. “I care so much,” she whispered, “that I shall never, never marry the duke of Rev- erly.” ‘The chauffeur released her reluctant- ly, and for a moment held her from him with his eyes buried in kers. “It will mean the giving up of a coronet, Princess.

On a farm where there is plenty of milk there is noth ing better for cleaning and brighten ing linoleum than skimmed milk. If milk cannot be used entirely add cupful to a few quarts of warm wa ter or a little kerosene oll. Wring out cloth and go over the linoleum after giving it a good dusting.

Cracker Roddinc. Take nine common crackers, one cup of raisins, half cup of sugar, half cup of molasses and a quart of milk, let stand over night and in the morn. {ng add one teaspoonful of cinnamon and half a teaspoonful of cloves, put into a mold and steam four hours.

For a drink, cut the chocolate in fine bits, using four squares to one quart of milk and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Add three tablespoonfuls of hot water to the chocolate, scald the milk, add the chocolate and boil for a few mo- ments. Beat with a whisk and serve hot. A marshmallow added to the cup makes « pleasant change. Chocolate Cookies. Cream half a cupful of butter and one tablespoonful of lard.

Now add one well beaten egg and half a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of milk. Stir in about two cupfuls of flour. Roll thin, cut in round cakes and bake in a hot oven.

A cream pie flavored with chocolate is very nice. Cornstarch pudding may be agreeably changed by the addition of a square of chocolate.

Beauty Hints. Lemon juice and glycerine is good to soften and whiten the hands. Butter milk is a good wash to re move tan. After a long drive or day on the water, do not wash the face in cold water, but rub {t well with cold cream or if that 1s not at hand, sweet cream from milk is every bit as good. It will soothe and cool the skin. The girl who has been struggling vainly with the dingy brown line on the neck, the result of h'gh and tight collars, should use pumtce stone. If rubbing the stone and soapy water on the neck is too hard for the skin, try mixing powdered pumice with cold cream. Finish the process by washing with a lather of white soap. Pumice stone, powdered, ‘is a good cleanser for the teeth, removes the tartar and keeps shem white and clean. For: Beautiful Ween. _ The first point to understand is the importance of gooi general health. Eyes require daily attention, fresh air, cleanliness and even exercise. Nine hours’*slvep a night in a well- yentilated room is a splendid eye med- icine. To cleanse the eyes, open them while the face is half submerged in a basin of cold water. Cold water is an excel- lent tonic for both eyes and lashes, For exercise, move the eyes upward and downward and from side to side with the haad held well up and per- fectly still. ‘This strengthens the muscles, which raise and lower the eyeballs and brings to the eyes a healthy supply of blood. Largetype books, good light and a good position when reading are all cases of that prevention which is the best cure. ried Tomatoes on Toast. Dip slices of ripe tomato in pan- cake, batter, fry until tender and brown; place each fritter on a slice of warm huttered toast and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Good Jokes TOUGH JoB.

We Do Good JOB Printing WE RAISE OUR OWN FRUIT NOW A FEW YEARS AGO IT WAS MOSTLY IMPORTED. This is Especially True With Oranges, Prunes and Raisins—Some Custom Figures. Washington, D. C. — The United States is beginning rapidly to supply for its own use fruits and nuts which a few years ago were practically all imported from other countries. This applies particularly to oranges, prunes and raisins, while bananas, figs, wal- nuts, coconuts and almonds are still imported extensively. Twenty years ago the imports of fruit and nuts were more than five times as great as the exports the former being valued at $21,000,000 while the latter were valued at only $4,000,000. During the last fiscal year the imports of fruits had increased to $36,000,000 while the exports had gone up in value to $19,600,000. In 1890, $2,000,000 worth of oranges were imported. In 1910 less than $100,000 worth; while more than $2,000,000 worth were exported last year as compared with $250,000 in 1900. As to prunes, while $1,750,000 worth were imported in 1890, less than $50,000 worth came in last year. The exports of this fruit increased from $1,660,000 in 1900 to $4,000,000 last year. CHEMIST TOLD OF NEW METAL Will Hold an Edge Like Steel, Takes High Polish and Will Not Rust or Tarnish. San Francisco, Cal.-The American Chemical society, in session at the St. Francis, was jolted clear out of the route of technical discussion of profound and scholarly matters of chemistry by the announcement of Elliow Haynes of Kokomo, Ind., that he had discovered a new alloy which will work a large change in the industrial world. By means of this alloy, which was proclaimed to the world for the first time manufacturers can make cutlery without the use of iron or steel. The alloy is unoxideable. It retains its luster under all atmospheric conditions. In cutlery the metal will take an edge comparable to good steel and is in many ways superior to steel, so that it is likely to supersede the latter. The alloy takes a hard polish very pleasing in appearance. MOTORING IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE Oscar Tamm of Tama, Ill., Carried American Flag Across Line North of Sweden. St. Louis, Mo.-The invasion of the Arctic circle by the automobile is at last an established fact and to a former St. Louisian belongs the first honors. Oscar Tamm, a wealthy native son of St. Louis, but more recently established in Tama, Ill. crossed the Arctic circle on July 2 with the American flag in his steering gear. He has written to friends here of the achievement. Although Tamm does not say in his message what route he followed, he positively asserted he crossed the circle almost 250 miles directly north of Ritoa, Sweden. Pittsburg, Pa.—Asserting that losses from rich women "shop lifters" total not less than $1,000,000 a year the large stores of the city have entered into an agreement to shield no one hereafter but to turn the women over to the city police instead of permitting influential relatives to shield them. To Reduce Upper Berth Rates. Topeka, Kansas.—John S. Dawson attorney for the board of railroad commissioners, and F. S.

New York Bankers Are Also Obliged to Discourage Epidemic of Motor Buying. New York, N. Y.—Over-indulgence in motor cars has been blamed for many of the present ills of the security market, and Wall street has been liberally supplied in the last few months with stories of the extremes to which the craze to own a machine has carried people and the necessity bankers have been under to exercise a censorship on loans to prevent an epidemic of motor buying. Most of these stories have come from the West, but Wall street heard the lid had been screwed down by bankers in New York. The financial world told of "one of the largest motor car manufacturing companies in the country going from bank to bank in New York City and asking in vain for a loan of $650,000 on $750,000 real estate mortgages as collateral." The meat of the story was that these mortgages, "representing property valued at $1,000,000 or more," had been put on originally by the buyers of cars who had mortgaged their homes to satisfy their speed mania. To emphasize the unsoundness of the situation the financial world went on to say that a Wall street investment house, which took the trouble to look into the real estate mortgages filed in the register's office in New York City, ascertained that in one day 45 per cent of the mortgages were in favor of motor car dealers or manufacturers. MAY TELEPHONE TO LONDON If a New Cable Proves Satisfactory Talking Across the Atlantic Will Soon Be Possible. London, England.—Telephonic communication between London and New York may be looked for before long if a new submarine cable recently laid across the English channel by the British postoffice answers expectations. The cable which extends from Dover to Cape Grisnez is the first of its kind laid in tidal waters. The tests so far made have given very satisfactory results. The efficiency of the new cable for telephonic communication has been increased more than three times by the inserting of loading coils in the cable at intervals of one knot. The coils reduce the distortion of the current impulses which correspond to the spoken sounds and so render the speech more distinct. GORE HEARING BEGINS AUGUST 4 Committee Will Commence Investigating Charges of Indian Frauds On That Date. Washington, D. C.-J. F. McMurray of Oklahoma was advised by Representative Burke of South Dakota chairman of the committee which has been appointed to investigate the alleged Indian land frauds in Oklahoma, that the committee will meet August 4, either in Oklahoma City or Muskogeen, and Senator Gore, who brought the charges on the floor of the senate, has consented to appear before the committee on that date.

CHILDREN WERE HIS GUESTS B. P. Waggener of Atchison Invites All Little Ones in County to His Annual Picnic. Atchison, Kansas. — The greatest number of children ever assembled together at one time in the history of Kansas were in Atchison the guest of Bailie P. Waggener. Every year, on the 18th of July, Mr. Waggener celebrates his birthday by inviting the children of Atchison and Atchison county to come to this city at his expense and help him celebrate. The first celebration was 11 years ago, and each year it has increased in importance to the children in this part of the state so that children come from over 100 miles distance to attend these celebrations. Mr. Waggener spends thousands of dollars for special trains to carry the children to and from their homes, buys up the street railway for the day, furnishes the youngster with horns, flags, rides on the figure "8," merry-go-round, and other amusement features that please the childish heart. Night and day fireworks are furnished, lemonade, a professional baseball game for their amusement, and all without the cost of a cent to the children. THE FLY IS OUR WORST ENEMY Dr. Stiles Calls Him the Satellite of Sickness and the Maker of Cemeteries. Washington, D. C.—Doctor Charles Wardell Stiles, bacterological expert of the United States marine hospital service, denounces the house fly as an enemy to the health of the world. It was Dr. Stiles who discovered the American hookworm, or "germ of laziness." He is now at the head of the Rockefeller commission for the study and prevention of that disease. "The mosquito carries the germ of yellow fever. The sting of the tsetse fly infects with the numbing virus of the slow but certain sleeping sickness. But the house fly carries on its sticky feet the potent poison of a dozen deaths. "The snake warns its victims by hiss or rattle, and, in defense, strikes to kill and then is to be shot or clubbed or ground beneath the boot heel. But the malicious, annoying house fly, satellite of sickness, maker of cemeteries, deposits its slow poison and buzzes away, ever busy, never still, always on its errand of distributing the venom of embryo disease. THE NUMBER RAILROADS KILL For the Year Ending June 30,.1909 it Was 8,722 While 95,626 Were Injured. Washington, D. C.-The total number of causalities to persons on the railways for the year ending June 30, 1909, was 104,348, of whom 8,722 persons were killed and 95,626 injured according to an announcement of the Interstate Commerce commission.

New York, N. Y.—Within a week or two a meeting of National bankers is likely to be called at the New York clearing house to hear the details of a plan for the formation of a national currency association. THE HEAT OVERGAME CANNON The Aged Speaker Could Not Finish Winfield Address—The Effect Not Serious. Winfield, Kansas.—Speaker Cannon was forced to discontinue his Winfield speech after he had been talking an hour and 45 minutes. There were about 4,000 people in the audience. The heat was suffocating, the thermometer registering 105 in the shade on the chautaqua grounds. Congressman P. P. Campbell led the speaker to a chair. More ice was applied and he was fanned vigorously. After a moment he appeared to recover, and stepping to the front of the platform again said: "It is the first time in my career that I have been overcome while speaking. But I have had rather a strenuous time of it for the last three years. I am all right now, thank you." 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. ON SCHEDULE TO SOUTH POLE A Japanese Expedition Gives Date of Arrival at Destination Before Starting.

Y.—It was announced that Eastern roads have decided coluntarily to suspend the increased freight rates which were scheduled to go into effect August 1. WAYS OF SERVING POTATO Recipes for a Week's Daily Variation of the Vegetable for Those Who Have It Habitually. For the household which demands its "daily potato" here is a suggestion and a recipe for a daily variation of the vegetable: Sunday—Mashed potatoes, peel, thin, steam, place in a pan and mash. Add milk, butter and salt, and beat like a cake batter, the longer the better, till they are nice and light. This steaming and heating will be a great improvement. Monday—Bake potatoes in their jackets. If any are left over they may be warmed; do not peel them till cold, and then slice. Tuesday—Peel and bake them with roast beef. Wednesday—The potatoes are sliced thin as for frying and allowed to remain in cold water half an hour. The slices are then put in a pudding dish with salt and pepper and some milk, about one-half pint; put into an oven and bake for an hour. Thursday—Peel, steam and serve whole. Friday—Potatoes a la pancake, Peel, cut in thin slices, lengthwise, sprinkle with pepper and salt and fry in butter or beef dripping, turning like griddle cakes. Saturday—Potatoes boiled in their fackets. Che Home Never try any brass or silver polish on lacquered ware. It will mean re-lacquering if you do. When cooking dried peaches rub or cut off the skin. They will have when cooked a totally different and more delicate flavor. If the flavor of onions is unpleasant afterward—they are not digestible with every one—use soda mint or a pinch of salt on tongue. The secret of keeping chamois skin soft and supple is to hang it up to dry while still soapy. Remember this when washing chamois gloves. If there is no regular day for silver cleaning the hostess will frequently be mortified by that sign of bad housekeeping, dingy table silver. The cook who knows how to make good soup clears it with the white of an egg. It gathers together all small solids, as it does when dropped into coffee, thus making it clear. Do not use either bread or cracker crumbs without seasoning. No amount of seasoning in the interior of a croquette or other made dish will make up for this omission. Try putting horseradish through a meat chopper instead of grating it. It is much less trying to prepare. Bread-crumbs are also more easily prepared if run through the finest cogs of the meat chopper. Knives that are used in peeling or cutting an onion should be immediately plunged into boiling water, then rubbed with sand soap and well rinsed or they may flavor the next thing that is cut with them. Cream of Cucumber Peel two large cucumbers, cut them in quarters, remove the seeds and slice coarsely. Parboil in salted water and drain. Put in a saucepan with two tablespoons of butter and one small onion, minced; cook together for ten minutes. Season with sugar, salt, pepper and celery salt as required. Melt in another saucepan two tablespoons butter, stir in a tablespoon flour and cook without browning; add the cooked cucumber and one quart of hot milk. Cook slowly for ten minutes. Beat well the yolk of one egg in the tureen. Pour the soup slowly on the beaten yolk and serve with wafers and croutons. Bran Cake. One cup of brown sugar; one table-spoonful of granulated sugar; one cup of sour cream; one beaten egg; one teaspoonful of soda; the grated rind of a lemon; a pinch of salt, two and one-half cups of flour; one-half cup of chopped ralsins. Mix and cook in 18 gem pans or a good-sized loaf tin. Keeping Curtains Clean. To prevent curtains from becoming soiled when the windows are open, by blowing against the screens, attach a safety pln to hem of curtain and catch over a small brass hook, screwed to the side of window, at a convenient height. Steamed Pudding. One cup of milk, one-half cup of molasses, one-third cup of butter, one-third teaspoonful of soda, one and one-half cups of flour, spices to taste. A few raisins may be added if these are liked. Steam for two hours. Eggs With Tomato Sauce Boll six eggs hard; cut them lengthwise in halves and lay in a dish. Cover with seasoned tomato sauce. Stand over hot water for 15 minutes and serve. MORE PINKHAM CURES Added to the Long List due to This Famous Remedy. Oronogo, Mo.—"I was simply a new vous wreck.

SLEEPING IN THE OPEN AIR Useful Book With Full Directions Given Away by Philanthropic Association. "Direction for Living and Sleeping in the Open Air," is the title of a pamphlet being sent out by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to its local representatives in all parts of the United States. The pamphlet is meant to be a handbook of information for anybody who desires to sleep out of doors in his own home. It emphasizes the fact that outdoor sleeping is as desirable for the well as for sleek. The booklet will be sent free of charge to any one applying for it at the headquarters of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in New York, or to the secretary of any local or state antituberculosis association. Some of the subjects of which the pamphlet treats are, how to take the open-air treatment in a tenement house; how to build a small shack or cabin on a flat roof in the city; how to make one comfortable while sleeping outdoors either in hot or cold weather; how to arrange a porch on a country house; and how to build a cheap porch; the construction of tents and tent houses; the kinds of beds and bedding to use in outdoor sleeping, and various other topics.

After exhausting research an English architect has decided that the leaning tower of Pisa was built at the angle it stands today as a feat of structural bravado. While in the valleys of Abyssinia are grown sugar cane, cotton, rubber and other tropical plants, the uplands have excellent pastures and cornfields, such as may be found in England. In British Columbia platinum is found in many alluvial gold workings as a by-product, but its separation is attended by too many difficulties to be practical except in a few instances. A patent has been granted an Ohio man on a washboard with a convex metal rubbing surface, slightly roughened, so that even a light pressure of clothing passed over it will give the same results as hard rubbing over the ordinary flat, corrugated board. IMPROVED BOND FOR BRICKS Becomes Fast in Mortar and Adds Much Strength to Walls—Made of Galvanized Iron. A new and improved brick bond has been invented by a Philadelphia man. At first glance it looks like a weird sort of hairpin, but anybody who understands building can appreciate its merits in that glance. It is made of galvanized iron wire and is strong enough to withstand great strain. Laid across the top of a row of bricks it becomes fast in the mortar, which works its way around the crimping and makes it practically impossible for the bricks to spread. The hook feature of the bond is at once a preventive of the separation of the inner and outer walls and a time saver for the inspector, enabling the latter to tell at a glance how many bonds have been used. The bond is laid so Wire Bond for Bricks. that the hook hangs over the side of the brick, and it also enables the bricklayer to tell how many bricks have been used. This bond also oblates the necessity of chipping bricks when building a "leader" row, saving much labor and annoyance. First Wooden House. Three hundred years ago the first home of woob was erected on Manhattan island.

For preserving the hands as well as for preventing redness, roughness, and chapping, and imparting that velvety softness and whiteness much desired by women Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, is believed to be superior to all other skin soaps. For those who work in corrosive liquids, or at occupations which tend to injure the hands, it is invaluable. Treatment—Bathe and soak the hands on retiring in a strong, hot, creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry and anoint freely with Cuticura Ointment, and in severe cases spread the Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of old linen or cotton. Wear during the night old, loose gloves, or a light bandage of old cotton or linen to protect the clothing from stain. For red, rough, and chapped hands, dry, fissured, itching, feverish palms, and shapeless nails with painful finger ends, this treatment is most effective. Cuticura Remedies are sold throughout the world. Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., sole proprietors, Boston, Mass. She Lives in Bingville.

"The public conscience is now being awakened upon this aspect of public morality. Last week I was invited to take part in a meeting organized by men who are not directly connected with any Christian church, but who are sincerely desirous of assisting in the reformation of their countrymen. Their purpose was to start an antigambling league, and with this in mind they called a public meeting, which was attended by some hundreds of Chinese scholars and business men, and resolutions were passed in approved public meeting style, approving of a campaign against the gambling vice. Members of the Chinese Young Men's Christian association were asked to assist in the meeting, and to demonstrate by the means of games the possibility of recreation without vice. Suitable addresses were given by prominent Chinese, and the chief organizer of the movement is one of the government education inspectors for the provinces of Kualugsu and Kiangsi. A Chinese Roman Catholic teacher gave a violin solo, a Chinese secretary of the Young Mens' Christian association rendered two cornet solos, and a Protestant missionary sang to the gathering. The whole meeting was conducted in so orderly and orthodox a fashion that it was scarcely possible to realize how tremendous a reformation in the whole Chinese outlook upon public life this meeting revealed. Twenty years, even ten years, ago such a meeting would not have been within the realm of possibility. Today we have a class of public moralists arising who have undoubtedly learned from Christianity in their midst the ideals which they are desirous of impressing upon their countrymen."

With a groan of despair he made up bis mind to die. | Ruined financially, and with not # ‘particle of hope for gatting on bis feet again, he realized tuat the only chance for his family escapiue pauper- ‘sm and its attendant miseries was to obtain immediate use of his heavy life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on he would be unable to pay the premiums on his policies, which unfortunately were not old enough to carry them- selves, so that they would forthwith lapse. Death, therefore, was the only solu- tion to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only be understood by those forced by circum: stances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat and went out of the house, lest the expres- sion on his telltale countenance should betray to his loved ones his fell inten- tion. While he was traversing the ‘crowded streets he would consider the best and least suspicious modes of consummating his purpose. If he could encompass it so that the thing looked to the world like an accident, 80 much the better. {ere would then be no'scandal.

A warning went Hith the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed In his window a placard: “Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon!” This was followed by a list of names, Conspicuous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid ard staid citizens. After every name was a number signifying the votes the owner of the name had received so far. Great was the wrath of the so-called “meanest men.” Friedberg was or- dered to take the sign out of the wine dow, but he refused to do so, His in. dictment for libel followed. In court he pleaded guilty, but asserted he did not know he was violating any lawew White Plains Cor. New York Sun. A Queen's Will.

Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town cour etls of the towne in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go ip search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They com bine it with a surprising amount of wayety. They eat, drink and are merry im their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. ‘When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnas ‘cs, they all become like children ant are the happiest, merriest, most goot natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world ‘We might take many leaves from the Finns’ book.—Ladies’ Pietcrial Fools, What do you suppose feols wen made for?
