recommend it to the suffering"
To postpone at such vital time as this
regulating the nerves and purifying the
blood is serious mistake. Men and
women distressed by nervous troubles or
the effects of impure blood cannot afford
now to lose day before taking advantage
of Paine's celery compound.
In order to avoid disappointment accept
nothing but Paine's celery compound. A
clerk who tries to sell something else than
what people ask for is evidently not disin-
terested. He has an eye to- profits more
than to the good of customers.
There can be no substitute for Paine's
celery compound.
This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons, too easily
led, have carried home something besides
Paine's celery compound, and have failed
to get the decided benefit they had hoped
for. .;..s..@
The strongest Endorsement ever received

its unrivalled power of making people we'll.

Many things come to mind that soften
the stroke and take away some of the sharp
ness Of the sting.
He attained to an honorable place in the
confidence of much larger circle Of peo-
pie than of his own church. He was true
Christian, an active worker and an abiding
necessity in the church and community, al
ways loyal to the minister and church of
his choice, and liberal contributor to its
support identifying himself with every in
terest that touched the church life of the
community.
The influence of his life falls like a bene-
diction upon all who knew him. Though
the Chariot swept down to him with the
suddenness of lightning's flash, yet it
found him ready death to him had no
terrors f.; he felt that to depart and be with
Christ was far better. He rests from his
labors and his works do follow him.

A Terrific Explosion
Escaping Gas Causes Trouble In The
County Clerks Office
The Vault Was Filled With It And
When A Match Vas Struck
An Explosion Followed.

There was an explosion of gas il
District Clerk Nat Lewis office in the
county court house which was quite
serious, but which could have been
more so this morning.
1t is said some plumbers were work
ing ON the gas pipes in the vault
where the papers and books are kept,
yesterday, and they evidently left a
leak in the pipe, which permitted the
gas to escape all night.
This morning at S:3e, when Deputy
Clerk Mason Eckels and the janitor,
Sol. Brasstield, entered the office,
there did not appear to be anything
wrong, and unsuspectingly Mr.. Eckels
turned the combination and opened the
ponderous door.
Brassfield stepped in first and Mr..
Eckels followed, stepping up Oh
table to light the gas jet. He struck
a match, loud explosion followed,
and the next thing Mr.. Eckels knew
of himself he was lying on small
porch in front of the office with his
head and face bleeding, the explosion
having thrown him across the office
and through a glass window, smash
ing 1t to pieces and cutting Mr.. Eek
els face in several places, none of
which, however, are of a serious ma
ture.
Solomon Brasstield was standing
no .th 81,
against it and stunned him. He fell un-
der the table, where he lay until he
consciousness. Beside being
slightly stunned and having his right
hand severely burned, he was not
otherwise injured and continued his
duties.
After the explosion the gas took fire
and the blaze flashed up among the
many valuable papers and records in
the vault and would have consumed
the entire lot, but for the presence of
mind on the part of Mr.. Eckels, who
shut the door, thus
the blaze out.
As il is, only few documents are
slightly burned on the ends and the
damage will not amount to anything
as far as the worth of The papers are
~
The shock of the explosion threw
the furniture of the office in many
directions. One popularity of the
shock was that the entrance door to
the office at the side of the vault and
twenty-five feet away from where
the explosion occurred, was blown
from its hinges and completely shat
tered. The frame work fit was thick
pine and the panels were of glass.
Mr.. Eckels went home, but claimed
that he was not injured to any great
extent. #
District Clerk Nat Lewis is absent
from the city and his brother, Dan
Lewis, the city recorder, is in charge.
When Mr.. Lewis heard of the acct
dent he Immediately adjourned court
and went over to look after matters.
and finding that the clerks had put
everything in shape he returned and
resumed operations.

THE FINAL SEWER CONTENTION

The firm manner in which The pres
ent administration has dealt with the
sewer business is encouraging to the
people. The defective work on the
outfall sewers is thrown back upon
the hands of the contractors and they
must make good the defects or the
city will undertake the work. a law
suit may arise over this matter, but
it is high time the city was protected
from defective work upon contracts
especially upon so important a con-
tract as our sewers The only thing
to be avoided, IL possible, is delay in
putting the sewers at the service of
the people, as it will be hard 10 re-
strain their use.

BAD rae GOLDBUGS.

One of the great grievances of the
complaining West has been that the
lending goldbugs got too much interest
out of the honest and struggling farmer.
One of the great grievances of the COM
planning East has been that the lending
goldbugs couldn't get either interest or
principal out of the honest and strug-
Cling farmer. 1t is evident that the
time is at hand when the complaint of
the West about high rates OF interest
Is to cease. The announcement that
Governor Stephens of Missouri has re-
ceived an unsolicited offer from New
York capitalists to fund the entire debt
of the State ($4,9OO,O00) at 3 per cent.
interest, instead of the S1A now paid, is
only one of many signs that the rate OF
interest in the West is falling and that
all borrowers profit by it. The head of
the state Insurance department of Mis-
souri,, who has served as chief clerk of
the State treasurer, has recently placed
batch of $150,000 bonds OF Galloway
county at per cent, and he insists
that there is no reason why all the
counties should not refund their bonds
at the same rate instead of keeping on
at Az or 5, as in most cases, or even
6, 8, and 10, as in some. The same ten
dency affects farm mortgages, The
rates on such mortgages have been or
per cent, but Governor Stephens says
that he knows of many cases where
farmers are securing a reduction to 6
per cent. without difficulty.
Prosperity isn't going to help the gold
bugs as much as they hoped it would.
The rate of interest is falling and the
State bank Of Davenport in Bryan's own
State has closed because 1t can't secure
borrowers for it's big surplus of deposits
and can't afford to keep open doors
without a market for investment.

NEGRO GIANTS DIs4PpEAHTNG.


Testimony that freedom has not been
good in every way for the negro in
creases. A negro Investigator, DR.. r. II.
johnson of Brunswick, Georgia, has
added his evidence as to the physical
degeneracy of the negro in the South.
He bases his conclusions on facts and
figures gathered from 2S5 Southern cit
les and towns. The figures, he says,
show that the death-rate of the race
sis twice as large as that of the
whites dwelling in the same commu-
mites; and mot only is he (the negro)
dying faster, but he is being born in
less numbers, proportionately." These
conditions, DIR. Johnson does not hest
tate to say, are the results of three de-
cades of freedom, with the, ignorance,
dissipation and carelessness of a race
freed from restraint, and, what is more
important. freed from the supervision
of their former masters, to whose in
terest it was that the slaves were we'll
fed, comfortably housed and made to
keep regular hours by the force of the
patrol. I'm antebellum days" says
DR.. Johnson, "the negro seemed to be
immune to consumption, and many
great medical writer's and teachers
boast of never having seen such among
the negroes. Enforced temperate liv-
ing and sanitary precautions made the
black man physical giant, but the
giants are disappearing and in
their places are coming on race Of
smaller stature and decreased vitali-
ty."
But even if this is entirely true there
are few now who would argue that a
race Of giant slaves is more desirable
than race of freemen.

the Romanate also adult dogs.
The savages of North America, for
lack of provisions, often sacrifice their
companions Of the chase. We are told
that before the Introduction of cattle
the Spaniards in Mexico used the ma
tive dogs SO freely as food that the
species has now completely disap-
peared. According to Capt. Cook, the
natives of New Zealand ate their dogs
and clothed themselves in the skins.
Forster adds: They love the flesh
passionately, and prefer 1t to that of
the pig" The Greenlanders and the
Kamchatkans also sometimes eat their
dogs, but only when reduced to this
cruel extremity by famine. In Africa
dogs form the food of certain negros
tribes; in the Ashantee country the
flesh is eaten both fresh and dried. And
it appears in the lower Congo region,
among the Batekes, there Is a custom
that must make every every friend of
dumb beasts rage with Indignation

THE DOG AS FOOD.

1.-THE more we know of men, the more
we like dogs" writes misanthropically
that great friend of animals. M. Tous-
senel Perhaps it is because the in
habitants of the Celestial Empire do not
know men sufficiently well that they
still regard the dog as an edible animal,
and as one Of the most savory of NOR
sells. But it is to be hoped that in the
progress of civilizatin a day will come
when these brave candidates
for humanity" according to Michelet's
picturesque cxpression-will no longer
figure on the menus of state dinners at
the Court of Picking
Darwin relates somewhere that when
the inhabitants of TERRA del Fuego are
pressed by famine they kill and eat
their old women rather than their dogs,
and that in Australia fathers will sac
rifice their children in order that the
mothers may be able to nourish this
useful servant of man. The Chinese,
however, tend and fatten their dogs
carefully-to eat. They also consider
the cat choice dish. The Able lie
Noir, in his Travels in the Far East"
relates that in the markets Of many
cities are to be seen dogs and cats
hanging side by side by the head or tail,
and that on most farms these animals
are kept in little coops like hens-coops
They remain thus from two to three
weeks, condemned to almost complete
immobility, and are fed on nothing but
a mixture of rice and farina. We do
not know the edible dog or the edible
~ in, I,oI riy ha
siege they have been but little served
openly at least-on the tables Of Paris
restaurants. At Picking and through
out China, however, there is no dainty
repast without its f1llet or leg Of dog;
the cat is rather dish of the poorer
classes.
These same customs that are so re-
pulsive to us as to seem like a kind of
semi cannibalism existed, nevertheless,
among the peoples of classic antiquity.
History tells us that in early times the
dog was always regarded as an edible
animal. The inhabitants of certain
homes of Egypt piously embalmed
their dead dogs but others considered
that it was more in conformity to the
doctrines of a wise economy to kill and
eat them. Plutarch tells us that the
dwellers in Cynopolis, where dogs were
honored as divine, made war, on the
Oxyrinchis who had committed the
sacrilege of eating dogs In his book
on Diet, Hippocrates speaking Of COM
mon articles of food, is of the opinion
that the flesh of the dog gives heat and
strength, but is difficult of digestion
our fathers" says Pliny, regarded
small dogs as so pure food that they
used them for expiatory victims.
Even to-day young dogs flesh is served
at feasts held in honor of the gods"
And further on: This meat was used
IN the installation feasts of the pom
tiffs." According to Apicius, who has
