A Convincing Argument. When
you give man golden promises
each promised backed up by your
reputation and that reputation
sustained by every transaction,
you are working a more telling
argument for future business than
in any other way. The point is
to talk honesty and represent the
goods as they are. Our best tailor

Another Illustration Of uses to which
meteorites may be put before their real
character is known.is afforded by those
OF Kiowa county. Kansas. They fell on
a prairie where rocks were scarce and
valuable and the farmers of the vicin-
ity found meteorites convenient for
holding down haystacks, stable roofs,
or covers to rain barrels. For such
purposes they might have been used
for a long time had not the wife OF one
of the farmers become convinced that
there was something unusual about
them. and called in an expert to ex-
anime them He at once recognized
their nature, and the enterprising wO-
man finally sold hers for enough to pay
of a heavy mortgage upon the farm

While the enterprising Withita faker

thus doth the busy Kansan do the

Chicago Exchange Goes Wild-Shout

Chicago, May 2-There was a bull

widest ever before known in the his
tory of the exchange.
During the first ten minutes over r.
600 shares exchanged hands Yester-
day New York Biscuit stock broke the
EecOrd in the number of shares traded
in. The number was is, 500 shares It
opened at 9S7s and advanced to 1914 at
the close
Today it started at 1O4 with a sale Of
500 shares. Then followed the widest
scene in the history of the exchange
Every broker on the floor crowded
about the rostrum on which the chair
man of the call stood, shouting and
yelling like mad men. Before ten min
utes had gone by the stock had gone
up to 1O61a.

inspector is almost bankrupt in the

There can be but one explanation
and that has been charged many times.
There must be some understanding be-
tween the state oil inspection depart
the money has to go some where. and
as no denial has ever been made of the
charge that the Office is worth thou

Crewsome Tale.

Eau Claire, May "A piece of paper
evidently torn from a memorandum

a reliable resident Of Knapp who pick

ment written in pencil. as follows:
am held captive by a band of
tramps who are abusing and killing
me. I am somewhere near Altoona in
a dugout- I fling this to the wind hop
ing someone may find it. don't give
my name for, if released, I would be
spoiled for life I can't say more. for
they are watching me closely.

Of it, but win investigate the caves
along the banks of the Eau Claire r1v-
er between here and Altoona.

SOAP SAVES THEM.
Any Vag Arrested Who Has Soap IS
Not Called @Tramp.1

Three men were arrested by the po-
lice yesterday afternoon who looked
like tramps but certainly were not.
There was evidence. and good evidence
that they were not.
They were fairly good looking fell
lows and said they were miners and
that they had worked at Cripple Greek
and other Colorado mining camps. One
Of them had S14 and a revolver An
other had 81 and the other was insol-
vent
One of them also had a grip.
1t was a very good grip and in it was
discovered three boxes of matches, two
aigars, three packages Of smoking to-
3acco, two fishing lines with extra
looks, one new baseball, one new pair
IF gloves. one bottle of cholera mix
ture. one copy of q novel, Mexican

ssvVhen thieves fan out then honest
men get their dues" like many another
old ana true saying. finds e1empiihea-
ton in politics as well as in other mat
tiers. Down in Louisiana for instance
it has always been asserted By one po-
IiticaI faction that the Negro was not
permitted to vote, ana denied by an
other faction. Stories Of murder and
intimidation have been numerous. Since
the recent election there has been
much bitter feeling in Louisiana with
the result that some truths are coming
to light. The New Orleans Picayune
explains the situation ia one parish as
follows:
1T appears that the Democrats and
PopuIsts entered into an agreement
that the local elections should be de-
cided by the whites, and that no Ne
groes should be allowed to vote. But
the PopuIists, in violation Of this agree
ment rushed the Negroes into Craps
Bluff precinct ward 8. and voted them.
The Democrats disputed the validity
of these votes, and hence the row.
The entire affair, from the agreement
not to vote the Negroes down to the
end. was lawless and disgraceful. and
shows to what white men will stoop
when they engage in political eorrup-
ton. Louisiana when it was under Ne
gro rule backed up by federal bayonets,
had never reached such depths of ig-
nominy as when its white citizens vol
UNFAIRLY sold themselves to the Ne
groes. This was done ia not a few
parishes Of this proud state, and it is
the most disgracefuI proceeding in the
whole history Of Louisiana politics.

BAPTIST CHURCH ACTS.
Asks Home Mission Society to Go On
Record Against the Liquor Traffic

Record Against the Liquor Traffic
The First Baptist church Of this city
adopted last Thursday evening by
unanimous vote a memorial address to
the American Baptist Home Mission
society, soon to have its annual meet
ing at Asbury Park, N J.
The address deplOres the evil OF
drunkenness the baneful effects of the
saloon in politics, in society and in
the home III extols prohibition; it has
driven the saloon from our borders, the
few places where the law is violated
only tend to advertise the shame Of the
communities who harbOr the unlawful
traffic. and to show in strange colors
the blessings of prohibition in general
throughout the state. Prohibition can
be enforced better than any license law
ever tried 1t challenges comparison
with any other system
The address closes by asking the de-
nomination TO put itself on record with
some pronounced expression Of con
domination of the cursed liquor traf-
fc the participation of the state in the
profits and possibilities of the bust
ness. We ask that you recommend to
all the Baptists whom you represent
that they pray. labor and vote for pro
hibitiOn as the only righteous and sue
cessful legal method of dealing with
this the greatest organized in1Qu1ty
now existing on earth.
