Inc American Women.

The American woman is taking pos session of new fields of thought, duty and service. She is taking place in the community which she never held be- fore. She is restless and aspiring. She wants to be, to know and to do more than ever. She does not, like the fore mothers, acknowledge her inferiority, or her subordination, or anything of the kind. Though she possess her best rights already, she claims that there are other rights which she ought to get in short order. She takes hold of politics with out fear; she often makes public speech es; she goes into lots of kinds of busi- hess on her own hook she enters the medical profession; as wt were remind ed once more this week, when the great degree of doctor of medicine was con- ferred upon 20 young women wearing shovel hats and black silk gowns; she earns her money at many trade which formerly was the exclusive property of her brethren; she strikes out for larger measure of independence she rides the bicycle as well as anybody; she joins club; she is not at all alarmed at the sight of a man; she often carves the roast at dinner and serves the timid fel- lows who sit at the other side of the ta. ble; she has given evidence that she can preach, practice law, or run a newspa- per, or write any number of books; she plays on the stage hundred times oft. ener than the woman of the old stock i; she is an office hunter, especially when reform is up, and we may almost say that what she cannot do is hardly worth doing, New York Sun.

KANSAS DELUGED.
Two Boys Drowned on One of Fort Scott'
 Principal Streets.

Two Boys Drowned on One of Fort Scott's
 Principal Streets.
 FORT SCOTT Kan, July 31.-An un1 precedented fall of rain in the south east corner of Kansas has again flooded the streams and wrecked destruction to life and property. In seven hours f. 25 inches of water fell in the city, the entire area of the town being inundated. Two fatalities have so far resulted from the sudden rise.
 The Missouri Pacific railroad shops are surrounded, and the train service has been partially abandoned. Many families have been driven from their homes by the tres passing river, which is still rising, and another storm is threatening. The Mar milton river Mill creek and Buck run have become one stream, spreading over sections of land which have not for years been submerged.
 Walter Austin and Willie Gould, two young boys, were drowned on one of the principal streets and O. A. Austin, father of one of the boys, was carried 200 yards in the trCacherOus current and finally res cued from the top of a tree by boatmen.
 Mir. Austin, accompanied by the boys, attempted to cross Mill creek bridge, which was surrounded by water, in wag- on. They proceeded 150 feet through the water when the wagon and horses were swept away. He made a desperate effort to rescue them, but was helpless, and they were drowned.

The Waterbury Furni- ture Co., and the Elm. .peror of Japan.

The wonderful progress which East Main street is making since the Great Furniture Emporium took up it's abode there one short year ago. is attracting the attention of all progressive people. But the fact is not generally known that the Waterbury Furniture Company is closely connected with people who are in con- stant communication with the Emperor of Japan, And how many people know that this rEler Is by far the most progressive in all the world. He is Emporer of dynasty which dates back in an unbroken line for 2,555 years-centuries before the birth of Christianity And only few months ago, when he made up his mind to settle his old account with China. he asked his people for a loan of 5000, 900 to carry on the war, the business men of Japan subscribed three times the amount on the spot, and refused to take any interest on their loan. No wonder that 40 OOO,O ,OOO such people uld knock out four hundred million Chinam+n. Prof Edward $ Morse says in his great work on Good Man ners," that the Japanese are by far the best bred people in all the world Now that the Waterbury Furniture Company has a church in its building as well as school it expects that the scholars who have been privileged to come here. will take on some of this spirit which has brought Japan and the Waterbury Furni- ture company to the front rank. We are glad to be able to tell our boys that it is scientific truth backed by the best living authorities, that all the forces of nature are with the fellow who wants to climb not downwards, but upwards. Let this encourage you A smile of contentment came over our faces last Monday morning when we saw the people catch on to those huge Rockers for go cents. There is nothing like keeping the people happy Next Monday morning we will do the same thing at 9 o'clock. and remember our motto: We never fool the public" Our sales this July will be the largest in our history; thanks to the people who have stopped going to New York and Boston to buy their goods. Moral-Be like the En- peror of Japan-live in the hearts of your own people, and they will keep your mem- ory green.

GASTRIC JUICE.


 Tho mcrcst dash of cinnamon ir a cup of chocolate aftcr it is poured is said to add q piquant and undistinguishable flavor.
 Tho Japanese national ice is q pebbly compound of sweet beans and hail stones Instead of ice cream perfumed snow is served.
 A little cold tea added to a sliced apple pic will, it is said, add to its general relish and delectability. The tea should be poured lightly over the apples just before the upper crust is put on.
 Fruits to do their best work, should be eaten either on an empty stomach or sim ply with bread. In tho morning before the fast of the night has been broken they serve us natural stimulus to the digestive organs.
 A new way of serving raisins at lunch table is to wrap them in bay leaves and then bake them in tho oven, when they acquire an aromatic taste. Serve them in these wrappers, side by side, with salted almonds.

FIERCE RACE RIOT OBI.
Whites and Blacks Have a
 Pitched Battle.
SEVEN MEN REPORTED KILLED.

One Ncgro,shot Down Two Deputy sheriHs
 Who Came to Arrest Him, and Then the
 White Men Organized-After Two Hours Firing the Negroes Took to the Woods.
 BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 31.-Brook- side, a mining camp, 20 miles west of here, was the scene of race riot last night. Two deputy sheriffs were killed, and it is said half dozen negroes were shot, four or five fatally. The town is in h state of panic, and the telegraph opera tor, the only sotiFce of information, is locked in his office, too frightened to go outside to obtain more details.
 Messages were received at 10 o'clock by Sheriff Morrow and Chief of Police Nc Donald for all available officers they could send. An hour later carload of deputies was on the way to the scene of the trou- bles.
 The cause of the riot was that Mine Boss CulverhoIse of the Sioss Iron and Steel company discharged negro driver named Jim Biggers.
 Biggers remained about the place mak- ing threats. He refused to leave the com- pany's premises. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest for trespassing, and Dep uty Sheriff A. s. Wood and Special Dep- uty Joel Baxter went to arrest him.
 Shot Down the Deputy Sheriff.
 As they approached Biggers fired upon them with rifle. A bullet passed through Woods head and another through his heart, killing him instantly Baxter was wounded mortally, but was able to get back to the camp and give the alarm.
 The white miners at once organized and went to arrest Biggers. He meanwhile had called in number of his negro friends, and when the two parties met a pitched battle resulted. Over 100 shots were fired, the negroes finally going to the woods. Half n dozen or more negroes were shot down, and at least four, and proba- bly five, were killed outright. Whether any of the whites were wounded cannot be learned. The names of killed and wounded negroes could not be had.
 The shooting was kept up at intervals for two hours. Another attack by the ne- groes is feared, but it is not likely to oc- cur after the officers arrive. Biggers is in hiding in the woods. It is proposed to take him dead or alive.
 Brookside has been the scene of race troubles before. Both colored and white miners work there, and the feeling has not been very cordial, especially since last summers strike, when negroes went to work in white miners places.

Ropnd to Have a License.

A bewhiskered man who didn't look as prosperous as some of those behind him pushed himself to the front of the line in the city comptroller's office yes ter6lay and stood at the license window. ''Is this where they get wagon li censes?" he asked the clerk.
 "Yes, this is the place. Pay your money up stairs and bring the receipt down here, y was the reply.

 Ut will cost you $3.

 ''No, that's the price regulated by law.''
 "How much for an express Gcense?" "That will cost you $1.25."

 "Well, I'm sorry"-

The Battle With Flies.

Housekeepers are always glad of any information which will help them to conquer those enemies of their summer s peace-hies. Here are two items which experience has proved to be of use in the battle.
 We all know how flies settle upon a screen door ill rainy weather or those of the kitchen in any weather, waiting for an opportunity to step ill as soon as it is opened. If q cloth dipped in kerosene is rubbed over the outer side of the wire and frame of the screen, the flies will not settle upon it. They do not like kero- sene. One application will usually prove effectual for several days.
 The other agent-oil of lavender-is for the purpose of disposing of such of the enemy as have already gained an entrance to the house.
 Darken all the windows but one The flies will soon congregate on that, for flies enjoy the sunshine Rs we'll as moths detest it. Now with an atomizer spray the window casing with the oil of law ender and either leave the open bottle upon the sill or saturate a small cloth with some of it. Some of the flies will soon become stupefied and then can be brushed down and disposed of. If an atomizer is not at hand, rub the casing with the saturated cloth. It is also a good plan to rub the oil all over any place that the flies like to light upon. A hanging lamp has often great attrac- tion for them, but if shade and chains arc rubbed over with the oil they will not light upon it.
