THE END or II ALL.
The proud man, fat with the fat Of tn
land

The proud man, fat with the fat Of the
land,
Dozed back in his silken chair;
Choice wines Of the world, black men to
command,
Rare curios rich and rare
Tall knights in armor ON either hand
Yet trouble was in the air.
The proud man dreamed of his younger
days, when
He toiled light-hcarted and sang all
day;
He dreamed again of his gold and men
Grown old in his service and hungry
and gray.
Then his two hands frightened time; and
then
They frightened, and frightened to stay.
All me! this drunkenness worse than
winel
The grasping with greedy hold
Why, the poorest man upon earth ] opine,
Is the man who has nothing but gold,
How better the love of man divine,
With Gods loye manifold.
They came to the dead man back in his
chair,
Dusk liveried servants that come with
light;
His eyes stood open with frightened
stare:
But his hands still frightened as vice
is tight.
They opened his hands nothing was
there,
Nothing but bits Of night

President Mckinley touched the
electric bottom that started the ma
chinery Of the Tennessee Centennial
Exposition at Nashville, and later he
expects to visit the exposition in per-
son and to carry with him as many
members of his Cabinet as can so. He
has expressed much interest in the
success Of the exposition.
If President Mckinley had never
until within the last ten days thought
of annulling some of the extensions
OF the civil-service rules made by Mr..
Cleveland, the facts brought out dur
ing that time would have started him
to thinking aboutit Testimony taken
by tue Senate committee that is in
vestigating this subject has already
made it plain that the whole thing
was manipulated to the advantage Of
Democrats and the disadvantage of
Republicans, and entirely regardless
of the best interests Of the public serv-
ice. AT the last meeting of this COM
mittee letters were read from Post
master-G General Gary and from Secre-
tary Long, in favor Of changing, and
Public Printer Palmer fired this broad
side: "As applied to this office Gov
eminent Printing Ofhce) which is SIM
ply great manufacturing plant, in
volving varied branches OF skilled
labor Of high grade, the ciyil-service
rules are, in my judgment. an OBJ.
struction rather than an aid to eff
cheney and economy. In my opinion
the civil-service rules as promulgated
for enforcement here should be modi-
| fed radically, suspended, or repealed. =
Hon N B. Scott, the West Virginia
member of the Republican National
Committee, who mas been rendered
the position OF Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue, says that he doesn't want
the place and will not take it unless
the extension of the civil-service rules
to collectors and gaugers is rescinded.
Secretary Alger has abolished the
spy system Of keeping the time of the
employees of the War Department,
which was adopted under the Cleve-
land administration and which has
been a source of much irritation to the
employees. General Alger takes the
ground that man who cannot be
trusted to do his duty without being
watched is unworthy Of employment
by the Government, or by anybody
else and the War Department clerks
will hereafter work on honor.

BULLETIN NO. 2.
SALT LAKE Cry, April Io.

DALI LAKE lily, ApIiA ~.
To transportation Managers
Everything points to successful
Inter mountain Christian EndeayoE
Rally next July. In response to our
former bulletin some transportation
managers have sent us cordial letters,
telling MS when they expect to arrive
in our city, and how many people they
will probably bring with them. A
large number of states have not yet
been heard from, and it is very essen
tial that this information be furnished
us without delay. The request is
made in order that adequate accom-
mediation in the way of meals, etc,
may be provided for all who accept
our invitation to spend July 3 to S
with us. Salt Lake City is not very
large place, and it will require careful
planning to provide for the vast army
that from all indications will soiourn
with us for couple OF days.
Please arrange to reach this city on
the morning of July 3, and letus know
about your plans as soon as possible.
The success of our Rally and the
comfort of your party largely depend
upon your early compliance with our
request.
We have not yet been furnished with
complete list of transportation man
ayers, and shall therefore be much
obliged if Endeavorers receiving a
copy OF this bulletin will see that It
reaches those whoar officially charged
with the responsibility OF arranging
itineraries, etc.
Yours for successful meeting,

THE SECRET.
How Doctors Protect Themselves
From Contagious Diseases.

l
Doctors rarely catch contagious dis
eases. Almost everybody knows this,
but few know how they escape.
Many believe that the doctor has
some charm or antiseptic which pro-
tccts him. Dr. Hartman lately made
the truth of this matter public, that
all might realize its benefit
Contagious diseases are conveyed by
minute organisms known as disease
germs. These germs find their en-
trance into the s. stem through the
mucous membrane. If the mucous
membrane is healthy, they cannot
get into the system. If the mucous
membrane is affected by catarrh the
germs find easy access. Catarrhal
secretions furnish exactly the mater
iai upon which they thrive and null
tiply. To get rid of the catarrh. and
thus preserve the mucous membrane
healthy, is the only way to be sale
from contagious diseases. This ex-
plains why it is that some people
catch diseases easier than others.
Everyone is exposed just the same.
Not everyone, however, falls victim
to contagious diseases. A disease
germ cannot enter the system through
perfectly healthy mucous mem
brane. Doctors know this, and there
fore guard against It. This is all the
secret there is about it.
The best cure or preventive known
to the medical profession up to date
Tor catarrh in all its conditions is Pc
ru-na. During the uncertain weather
Of spriug-sime it is an unnecessary
hazard for anyone to neglect to guard
himself from taking disease, by tax
ing Pe-ru-na.

Co, Columbus, Ohio.

Indigestion is often taken for con-
sumption. The word consumption
means wasting away, and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as con-
sumptives.
The reason people waste away is
because either they don't get enough
TO eat, or they don't digest what they
do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will
help you to digest your food and stop
your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs, barks and the juices Of
fruit, by the well-known Shakers al
Mount Lebanon. 1t possesses great
tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed consumptives (whc
were really dyspeptics). by simply
helping their stomachs to digesi
their food, thus giving them nourish
ment and new strength.

Bill as Amended Hawaii.

Dill as Amended Travail.
(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 3.--The Repub-
lican members OF the Senate Finance
Committee have completed the work
of amending the Dingley tariff bill,
aud unless the Democratic members
of the committee cause some unneces-
sary delay the bill will be reported to
the Senate this week. The bill has
not been made public, but it is known
that it has been amended in nearly
every schedule, and that as rule the
amendments provide for slightly low
ering the duties from those in the
original bill, although in some cases
they were raised. The bill is distinctly
Republican protective measure, just
as everybody knew it would be, but
whether on the whole it is an i'm
provement upon the original bill is,
of course, a matter OF personal opinion,
The average Republican only asks for
tariff that will protect all American
industries and products alike, and is
not disposed to haggle over the pre-
else rate of duty to be imposed on any
particular article are articles. 1t is
claimed by the Senators who have
framed these amendments that they
are intended to increase the revenues
Of the government without any sacri-
fee of the principle OF protection.
Senator Frye doesn't believe the
abrogation of the reciprocity treaty
with Hawaii, which the Sugar Trust
is demanding through its lobby, is
possible. He said THE representa-
tives of the Sugar Trust are now seek
ing the abrogation of this treaty with
more than usual energy and activity.
They are deeply interested in abroga-
ton, and don't know of any one else
who is. In their efforts to secure their
own interests they are misrepresent-
ing the disadvantages to the United
States from this treaty and concealing
the advantages. The advantages are
manifold and the disadvantages small
There are few people around Wash.
ington who do not believe that the
annexation of Hawaii is one of the
certainties ofthe near future. Whether
the recently reported attitude of Japan
towards Hawaii will result in hasten
ing annexation is yet to be determined.
An official speaking of the matter
said: This government is not
alarmed or annoyed by the reports OF
Japanese restlessness and loud war
talk. That nation has not recovered
from its victory over China yet, and
it feels as if it owns the world. A lit
tie buster will do no harm to any
one, but you may rest assured that
the Japanese will do nothing more
than buster After the tariff bill has
been disposed of, the Senate may have
an opportunity to act upon treaty
providing for the annexation o
Hawaii. Meanwhile you may be sur,
that the U. S. navy will back Hawai-
in enforcing its immigration laws

Water Touring Over LOUISIANA Plantations
TnreUgh a Break -Four Hundred
Feet Vide.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 31.-The
break in theIevee yesterday at Conrads, a
few miles below Baton Rogue, is now be-
yond control, and promises to be the most
destructive of this season. The crevasse
caught the levee district unprep pared for
immediate work.
The levee was known to be weak. 1t
had a mum Der OF crayfish holes in it
which leaked badly, and, moreover, the
levee was built mainly of sand. The
water began to leak thraugh the cravfish
holes yesterday morning.
At day break ten feet was blown out and
all attempts of the guards present TO stop
the break with bags proved Intellectual, as
was lost in getting men and material to
the scene, SO it was ninety feet wide when
work began.
A crevasse: closing force went to work
last night with 1900 men. Two hund red
more at Baton Rouge filled sacks with
earth and three tugs transferred lum ber.
All this; however, availed nothing. The
crevasse tonight is 400 feet wide and
eight feet deep.
Several hundred feet of curb work was
LAID by the relief force, and many thou
sand SACKS of earth used, bur they have
baen all swept away by the current. The
losses will be very heavy. The country
affected is far richer than any yet over
flowed. Conrad, Hope, Ben Hur, Chats
worth and. other big sugar plantations
and mum ber of cotton farms are already
oEerhowed on an average of four ieet.

Passengers by the Peru stated that war
was brewing between Japan and Hawaii.
Three representatives of the Mikado's s
realm were passengers from Yokohama
Tor Honolulu, and it is said they C: rried
an ultimatum to President Dole.
"AlI know about the matter is this, "
said Mr.. Wheiau, son of the ex-Supervisor,
yesterday. The Japanese arrived at
Honolulu and left the Peru as / was
boarding her. They were said to have an
ultimatum with them, and that the war
ships of the nation were in readiness al ,
moments notice TO back them up. There
were three American and two British
ships available. but in a race the United
States could easily outpoint japan, and
the Oregon, Monterey. Monadnock, Ben

on the ground before Japan could make a
move.

- HONOLULU, Hawai-, May 24-The
Hawaiian Star publishes a sensational
story concerning the condition of the
United States Steamship Marion, which is
10 the effect that 1t is doubtful if she ever
leaves Honolulu, let alone sailing for
Samoa.
The Star says she was ordered to Samoa,
but board of officers who were appointed
toexamine into her condition by Admiral
Beard slee decided that she was not in a
tit condition TO make the trip. The ves-
sells hull is still quite sound and her masts
and yards in good condition, but her en-
gines are in bad way.
The engine bed was found to be so rot
ten that it threatened to give way almost
at any minute and the result might be
that the engines would drop into the sea.
Only few miles off this port, when the
Marion was coming in, her engines broke
down and she was forced to signal for a
tug 10 tow her in.
n At the lime 1t was stated that the in Jury
TO her machinery was not of a serious ma
ture, but when the cruise to Samoa was
mentioned the condition of the old YES.
sers engines was viewed in a more serious
light.
A board of officers was appointed by
the admiral and they lost no time in
recommending that new bed be put IN
under the engines at once.
