The Pan-Amercan Pop convention at

The Pan-American Pop convention at
st. Louis was presided over by a Kansas
man and run by Kansas woman, both
of Wichita. If anybody thinks that
with PETER and Jerry at Washington
Kansas is cleft" such ali one is not
posted as TO the real university of her
whistling winds and whiskers. Her
biggest man is a woman who when not
at home is sure to be elsewhere.

the people Of the United States to
assemble on the 22nd of February
next, in such numbers and manner
as may be convenient, publicly to tes-
tify their grief for the death of
General George Washington by suita-
BILE culogies, orations and discourses,
or by public prayers.
This resolution was made the sub
ject of proclamation by Preside Mt
Adams, and for the first time Wash
ington's birthday was celebrated on
Feb. %, 1900.
Ninety-three years ago General
Henry Lee of Virginia, Washington's
friend and eulogist at the funeral,
declared IN impassioned tones:
"His fame survives, bounded only
by the limits of the earth and by the
extent of the human mind! He sur
wives in our hearts, in the affections
of the good throughout the
world. And when our monu-
| ments shall be done away, when ma
tions now existing shall be no more
when even our young and far-spread-
| ing empire shall have perished, still
| will our Washlngton's glory unfaded
| shine, and die not until love Of vir-
ture cease On earth or earth itself
| sink into chaos"
| Nearly century has passed, but
Washington is still first in the hearts
of his countrymen, and his "young
and far-spreading empire" has
reached a pinnacle of development
even his great wisdom could not have
| forseen.

Singing Helps q Consumptiye.

The time will soon come when singing
will be regarded as one of the great helps
to physicians in lung diseases, more es-
pecially in their incipient state. Almost
every branch of gymnastics is employed
in one way or another by the doctors,
but the simple and natural function of
singing has not yet received its full need
Of attention. In Italy some years ago
statistics were taken which proved that
the vocal artists were especially long
lived and healthy under normal circum-
stances, while of the brass instrumen-
talists it was discovered that consump-
ton never claimed victim among them.
Those who have tendency toward
consumption should take easy vocal ex-
ercises, no matter how thin and weak
their voices may seem to be. They will
find result at times far surprising any
relief afforded by medicine. Vocal prac-
tice in moderation Is the best system of
general gymnastics that can be imag-
ined, many muscles being brought into
play that would scarcely be suspected OF
action In connection with SO simple q
matter as tone production. Therefore,
apart from all art considerations, merely
as matter of health, one can earnestly
say to the healthy, "Sing, that you may
remain so," and to the weakly, ''Sing,
that you may become strong.

CASH-CAsH'S REFORMATION.

Old Cash Cash. the we'll known
Umatilla Indian, is becoming great
ly interested in what will become of
his soul when he dies. OF late Cash
Cash has been regular attendant at
divine worship. and being possessed
Of more intelligence than the general
run of Indians has listened very in
tently to the teachings that are
expounded by the ministers. He is
now endeavoring to lead a better
life by paying his debts and by re-
fusing 70 gamble or drink firewater.
Several weeks ago 7. D. Page placed
a bill against Oash-C Cash in a bank at
Pendleton for collection.
Cash-Cash was notified, and he
promptly responded and settled.
After paving the money he demand
ed piece of paper or receipt to show
that the claim had been fully salts
fed. He was informed that receipt
was not necessary, as the books in
the bank would show that 1t had
been settled. Cash-Cash persisted,
when the receipt was made ont.
When the paper was handed him.
Cash-Cash was satisfied, and when
he started to leave the bank he said
in broken English:

good Injun, me say yes. He will
ask me if l pay Tom Page and me

Origin of the Holiday all True Americans
Observe.
In these days of telegraph, tele-
phone and lightning express trains it
seems strange to read that ex-Presi-
dent George Washington was dead
four days at Mount Vernon before
congress, which was i'll session at
Philadelphia, and before President
John Adams knew that such mo-
mentous event had occurred. To-Day
the news of an ex-president's demise
would be known not only in Phila-
delphia, but in San Francisco and
London in something less than four
minutes, and the American news
papers would have extras on the
streets announcing the event in a
few more.
Washington was born Feb. 20,
1732, pear the banks of the Potomac,
and was consequently nearly 6S years
of age when death ended his great
career Dec. IA, 1899. He had
fought with Braddock, he had led
the American colonies to victory
against the tyranny of King George
Ill, he had founded new republic
and had been its chief magistrate
for two terms. He had also possessed
the hardihood to refuse third term,
and for all his patriotic achieve
ments his grateful countrymen have
every year since his death honored
his memory by making the anniver-
sary of his birth a national holiday.

solved ssthat it be recommended to

TOM WATSON ON CHURCHES AND
GUNS.

We are now constructing the most
expensive churches that the world
has known since the pagan religion
was superseded by the ''meek and
Lowly Jesus" They are building
one in New Yo1k which is to cost
$10,000,000. Suppose Christ should
come again and should wear what he
wore before. linen gown, a pair of
wooden sandels ON his feet, no socks,
and no hat-do you suppose the
minister in that ten million dollar
chul ch would be glad to see Jesus
come mi
He would be just as happy as the
money changers were in the
temple. The finer our churces are
the bigger Mr.. Krupp makes his
cannon. This may seem queer but
it Is so. He now constructs them so
large that it requires several tons of
powder to load them. The ball is al
most as heavy as a park Of artillery
used to be. Wherever it hits there
is trouble. We are strange folks.
We constantly build mole churches
and school houses and we constantly
want more guns. The mole we en-
brace the doctrine that we must love
our neighbors as ourselves, the more
thoroughly we prepare to bore hole
through him with winchester. The
more we theorize on returning good
for evil, the more we practice trying
to get the drop on the other fellow.

as will command the respect or at
tention Of any court OF justice. And
we, the undersigned, in behalf Of the
Alliance and the thousands of other
citizens affected by these extraordi-
nary proceedings, wish to enter our
solemn protest against any special
Legislation which 30 singles ont the
Alliance, or any department of it for
an attack which, 1t il not seriously
pretended, can be sustained i'm any
court of justice, and which. il it
could be there sustained, ought not
to be considered elsewhere; and i'm
this the Alliance claims for itself no
more than is right and lawful for all
other citizens.
VI. That the effect of suspending
the operation of the Business Agency
until the first day Of July. 1893, Ia
bill to recharter the Alliance and to
go into effect July 1st. '93, has been
introduced in the House. The Ali
anee did not ask for this charter and
was not consulted about it-ED.l and
during that time, putting the busi-
ness in the hands of a receiver to be
wound up, will be to permanently
destroy the business of the Alliance,
because. in any attempt to reorgan-
iZe it, future possible contributors
would conclude that the power which
now declares vacant the charter for
the purpose of winding up the bust
ness of the concern in this sxtraor-
dinary manner would again do SO
for reasons which could not be fore
seen.
Wherefore. the undersigned pray
that the pending bill to repeal the
charter of the Alliance be defeated
by your honorable body, and that
persons having cause OF complaint,
if such there be, be regulated to the
courts; and that it will apply equally
to the Alliance and all other citi-
zens without discrimination.
