To Free the Farmers Alliance from the
Rule OF Politicians.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August 1S.-The ex-
ecutive committee appointed by the
Fort Worth Farmers Alliance conven-
tion has issued circular to members
of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, and to the farmers and laborers
of the United States, calling a conven-
tion in st. Louis September 18th next.
The convention is called in accordance
with resolution passed at the Fort
Worth meeting in opposition to the SUBJ
treasury plan. This effort on the part
of the conservative members and the
real farmers order is to emancipate the
Farmers Alliance from the control of
scheming politicians.

dress, in which he urged the members
to stick to the Ocala convention plat

urged the members to endeavor to Sc

ture who would vote for etate railroad

Bitterly Condemned.
CALCUTTA, August 1S.-The execution
of the Manipur princes has created a
profound sensation throughout India.
The press of India, which is printed in
the native language, strongly condemns
the hurried orders issued for the execu-
ton which, the press declares, was
hastened lest English opinion would un-
dergoe a change in favor of the con-
demned princes, after the publication Of
their defense. General Longal's execu-
ton particularly shocked native feeling.
1t is asserted that he was too i'll to
stand up, and the executioners were
obliged to lift him on stool before the
drop fell.

SHORB'S BARN.
1t and Most of Its Contents Burned
on Monday Night.

A lire occurred at j. De Barth Shorb's
home place, at San Marino near San GA
briel, on Monday night. The stables on
the premises, which are short distance
from the house, took fire and burned to
the ground before it was possible to save
much of the contents. There were eight
horses in the stables, some OF them
very valuable, of which two only were
saved; while four carriages, several sets
OF harness, about sixty tons of baled
hay, and other property, were destroyed.
The loss is heavy, aggregating perhaps
$4,000, while the insurance is light.

MEMORIAL CARDS

learned the answer during the past two
or three months, and if the business
continues at it's present prosperous rate

prietor and inventor of the scheme,
when the question was put to him.
''Why, this is one," and he handed the
reporter a card of the size known as
cabinet in photography. It had that
dull, North Michigan lead color so often
used by photographers as backing for
exquisite portraits, and out of it's gloom
had been scooped a ram bling design, in
which were included dove struggling
with a long streamer some leaves that
probably were meant for immortelles,
and various other thingumies that could
not be reduced to definitions upon
cursory analysis.
'You see" said the inventor, this is
what do. I fill in the white spaces in
the doves streamers with notices of q
sentimental, religious or hopeful char
acter, as the case seems to demand
That is in gilt. Then you will observe
that there is blank space left in the
design below the dove and streamer

goes, also IN gilt, date of death in

A MIRACULOUS IMPRINT.

Eusebius' Account of the So-Called Bloody
Portrait of the Saviour.
Early in the year 705 A. D., John VII,
ut that time Pope Of Rome published a
letter in which he made the startling
announcement that he had just depos-
tied in the Church of St Maria Mag
giore in the Imperial City, the only
authentic portrait of Jesus in existence;
it was the bloody likeness of the Sa-
viour. which was miraculously i'm
printed on piece of linen which ST.
Veronica had received from the hands
of Jesus Himself. The story of
St Veronica and the bloody portrait,
according to Eusebius is as follows:
Veronica was resident Of Jerusalem
during the ministry Of Jesus, and was
an unquestoning believer in His divine
origin origin. When the verdict of the
council was announced, when it was
known throughout Jerusalem that Jesus
was to suffer the extreme penalty for
the crime Of sedition, Veronica refused
10 be com orted and neither slept nor
took food until after the trying ordeal
had passed.
On the morning of the crucifxion this
pious lady stationed herself on the road
over which Jesus would be obliged to
pass on his way to Golgotha Soon the
procession came in sight led by the
Saviour, bearing that awful burden-the
cross upon which He was to suffer death.
Veronica's heart strings were rent with
sympathy when she beheld the humili-
ating spectacle. AS the process on
came nearer she saw that the terrible
load under which the Master was labor
ing had caused a bloody sweat to ooze
out all over His face and neck. Hastily
removing a cloth that she wore wound
about her head she handed it to Jesus,
that He might wipe off the blood and
sweat which was now running down His
face. When she received it back
striking likeness of the divine features
were imprinted upon the cloth. This
was the bloody portrait of Jesus men
toned in the letter of John VII. in 7O5
The subsequent history of the miracu-
lous imprint seems to be lost st. Louis

WATER IN CORPULENCY.
1t Reduces Flesh More Rapidly Than Any
Other Agent.

1t Reduces Flesh More Rapidly Than Any
Other Agent.
The use of hot water tends to facili-
tate the consumption of carbonaceous
material, and contrary to old fashioned
prejudices the fieshy person should
have plenty of water In fact the free
use of water is necessary to the health
of every one. The old ways Of reduc-
ing flesh was by making people poor by
making them sick. This is true of the
anti-fat remedies, and is also true of an
exclusive heterogeneous diet like meat,
which is sometimes employed. 1t has
been shown that only about three
ounces of dry heterogeneous material
say three ounces Of water free meat
can be disposed of by the system in a
day, and a person living exclusively
upon meat probably eats three times as
much. This superfuous amount of
heterogeneous material must all be dis
posed of as waste and this greatly in
creases the work of the liver in prepar-
ing it for elimination. To assist in this
eliminative process, it is necessary that
we should have large amount of water
and if the water supply is deficient, the
liver becomes worn out after time and
then of course the individual will be
thin, for one can not be fat in the
nature Of things without having good
liver The liver is the commissary Of
the fat-making material of the body.
From it's storehouse the carbonaceous
materials are doled out for use as re-
quired. A person may be dropsic,Al or
