a Common Practice.

It's quite common for some trades peo-
pie to persuade a customer to take some
other article instead of that called for. IL
is sometimes called substitution, but it's
cheating the customer out of that which he
wanted. 1t is always done for mean mo-
tive. The dealer who does this has no con-
slderation for his customer. It's like get
ting ride of something in which the dealer
himself was swindled and yet he must get
money out of 1t by deceiving the customer.
We say to the readers of this journal that
when yon ask for Simmons Liver Reg
ulator don't take anything else instead
it's the best liver medicine. The advertise
ing is increasing the demand for it and the
people who call for it should get it, espe-
cially so because there is no liver medicins
like Simmons Liver Regulator. Insist upon
having it aud note that the Red z is on the
front of the package.

Lectured on the Treatment of Wounded
Prisoners of War.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 9.-Miss Clara Bar
ton was the star speaker at the national
council of women today. Her address on
the Red Cross movement was delivered
in the woman's building. Speaking of
the purposes of the Red Cross society,"
its president said:
It's basis was neutrality it made mu-
@tual all sick, disabled or wounded SOL
dierS; all persons, surgeons and attend
ants who cared for them; all supplies of
medicine or food for their use; all field
and military hospitals with their equip
ments; all gifts from neutral nations
for the use of the sick and wounded from
any army, and all houses near or about
should receive and nurse wounded men.
None of these should be subject to cap
ture. It provides for the sending of
wounded men to their homes rather than
to prisons; that friend and foe should be
nursed together alike in all military hos
pitfalls, and, most of all, that the people
who had always been forcibly re-
strained from approaching any field of
action for the purpose of relief, however
needful, should not only be allowed this
privilege, but should arm and equip
themselves with relief of all kinds, with
the right to enter the lines of the help
less, thus relieving not alone the
wounded and dying, but the armies of
their care.

A New Orleans Drummer Drowned

New Orleans, Oct. "a cablegram
from Belize, Honduras, announces the
wrecking of the Freddie M, small
steamer, on the coast of Honduras. The
cablegram contains only these words
Freddie total wreck; nothing saved;
Flower saved; Beneca drowned"
These gentlemen are New Orleans
drummers. The Freddie was a small
boat 100 feet long, a stern wheeler of an
tiquated pattern, but serviceable. She
piled between Belize and various points,
but was not a regular passenger boat.
She sometimes carried a few passengers,
these nearly always being commercial
travellers, to certain points out on the
coast.
The owners, Macheca Bros. absolutely
refused any information as to what con-
stituted the crew or the cargo.

Book Bound in Gold and Silver.

The only gold and silver bound, dia-
mond-incrusted book in the world was
lately enshrined in the holy Moham-
medan city of Isnan-Ruza, Persia. The
book is. of course, copy of the AL
koran, and is a gift from Abd-ur- Rah-
man. emir of Afghanistan. The COW
ers of this unique volume, the sides of
which are nine and one-half by four
inches, are of solid gold plates one
eighth of an inch in thickness, lined
with silver sheets of the same thick
ness The centerpiece, as well as the
corners, are symbolic designs, wrought
in diamonds, rubies and pearls The
center figure is a crescent, with star
between its points, the whole design
being composed of one hundred and
nine small diamonds, one hundred and
sixty seven pearls and one hundred and
twenty-five rubieS. The diamonds on
each corner, which are almost hidden
in their golden setting, and the orange
colored lacquer with which they are
fastened, are each worth about FIVE
thousand dollars. The book itself is
on parchment, entirely written by
hand. 1t is valued at one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars. There
is said to have been over one hundred
thousand visitors present in Isnan-
Ruza the day the holy relic was en-
shrined.-St. Louis Republic

SEDALIA, Mo-, July 23.-In his speech
before the assembled silver democratic
editors of Missouri in this city to-day,
Gov. Stone made a strong plea for BIZ
metallism. The governor said that he
would not on this occasion discuss the
philosophical or economic phases OF
the money question, as he presumed
that the members of this convention
of silver editors already had settled
convictions on the subject of silver
coinage. He thought they knew what
they wanted, and that they had met
to secure greater cooperation in pro-
noting the cause they advocated In
the course of his remarks the governor
said:
I'm the discussion of this question of silver
coinage there are some things that ought tc
be conceded because they can not be truthful
ly or honestly disputed. OF these things may
note the following:
Il. That gold and silver are both recognized

country.
80 That from the adoption of our first ma
tional coinage laws in 1872 down to 1873 the sill

A KANSAS CANARD

Frank Rogers is Alive and Well, and
Bears an Unblemished Reputation.
ST. LOUIS, July 26.-The Republic
prints the following special from Tay-
lorville, ILL.,:
TAYLoRvILLE, ILL.,, July "a I'm you,
issue of this date a telegram from
Topeka. Kas., says that man who
committed suicide there last Saturday
has been identified as Frank Rogers,
of Greenville, H., a son of E. R.
Rogers, minister, who married Miss
Cordelia Brown, of Pocohontas.
The telegram further states that
Rogers wife is divorced from
him, and that Rogers was
discharged from the employ of the
Wabash railway for drinking after
spending his wifc's fortune. The facts
in the case are as follows: Frank
Rogers, formerly of Greenville, ILL.,.
son of E. R. Rogers, minister, is
alive and well and a resident of this
city. His wife was formerly Miss
Cordella Brown, of Pocohontas. and
they are living happily together. and
have ever since their marriage.
Rogers was not discharged by
the Wabash railway. never having
been in its employ. He worked
for the Vandalia line for seven
years, and has excellent recommends
tions from that company. He has not
squandered his wife's money; on the
contrary, he is better off financially at
present than he was at the time OF his
marriage. Rogers was elected city
clerk of this city in 1881, and has been
reelected twice, and is now serving his
third term. He is city collector OF
water rents. and handles large sums OF
money to the mutual satisfaction OF
the public and himself.

He May Work an Infiuence In tho World

Reports from colleges generally
throughout the United States are to
the effect that the graduating classes of
1895 have been larger than those in
any other previous year. This is, of
course, a prominent feature of our ma
tional development, and may be
strained even SO far as to be regarded
as another gratifying sign of return
ing prosperity. At any rate, the an
nually increasing roll of college grad
yates is the best of evidence that the
door of opportunity is being kept wide
open for American youth; for although
liberal education is not absolutely
necessary to success in life, it is never
theless grand qualification.
What becomes of all our college
graduates is a question often asked,
and as frequently only partially an
swered. They do not all shine very
brilliantly in the fields of literature,
art, science or even of theology. But
their influence is none the less felt;
they are working wonders for the
good of the nation at large. Ont OF a
population of nearly seventy millions,

much larger proportion have naturally
had the rudiments of common
school education; but very moderate
proportion of these latter, owing to
the pressure of daily events, the dis
abling conditions of their surround

will early have fallen out of the habit
of reading any other than ordinary
literature, and equally out of the
power of thinking into and through
the grave social and political ques-
tions of the day. But the influ-
