The Governors Wonderful Hat.

The governor Of Missouri is wearing
q most outrageous hat. 1t was given to
him by Adjutant General M. Fred Bell.
who has excellent taste in everything
except hats. The governor perhaps
wouldn't wear it at all if it hadn t been
presented to him by SO good and loyal a
friend as General Bell. If q casual &C.
quaintance had sent it to him, Governor
Stephens would doubtless have viewed
the gift with suspicion and stored it
away from public gaze, and if it had
come from political enemy he certainly
would have sent it back by the first
train The lat is Of such gigantic pro-
portions that the governor seems to
staggcr under it as he walks. Its crown
is built upon the plans and specifications
of a mountain peak, and when it is
crushed in the center it has the appear
ance of an extinct volcano And yet
Governor Stephens seems actually proud
of the hat. 1t probably cost more than
any other hat in Missouri, and must
have been made to order. Jefferson City
is wondering how long the governor is
going to wear the hat.-Lebanon (Mo. }

Animosities Buried,

It is matter for pleasant thought
that as the years have rolled by this an
nual tribute has become more q celebra-
ton of peace than Of war, more guar
antee for the future than record of the
past. The exultation over victory has
given place to exultation over increasing
good feeling and restored harmony in
NIL sections. The gray sleeps beside the
blue in many cemetery, but both will
have their tribute of flowers from loving
hands, typical of mutual regret and ad-
miration for mutual courage. Chicago

That's Ayers. The same old
sarsaparilla as it was made and
sold by DR.. J. c. Aver so gears
aoo. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli-
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa-
rilla is the same old sarsapar'lla
that made the record-60 gears
of cures. Why don't we better
it? Well, 'we're -nuch in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry: Doubtless, " he
said, "God might have made
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did. :" Why
don't we better the sarsaparilla?
We can't. We are using the
same OLD p1r MT that cured the
Indians and the Span1aroS. nc
has not been bettered. And
since ace make sarsaparilla COM
pound out of sarsaparilla plant,
we see no way of improvement.
OF course, if we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might. But were NOT.
We're making the same old sar-
saparilla to cuze the same old
diseases. You can tell it's the
same old sarsaparilla be-
cause it works the same old
cures. It's the sovereign blood
purifier, and-t's Ayers.

river country.
Captain Davis states that this win be
the last government shipment to these
districts unless some new emergency
arises. Many people are returning to
their farms in Arkansas and the work
OF planting will begin shortly. Accord.
ing to the official bulletin Of the United
States weather bureau. the Mississippi
river at Memphis fell two-tenths of a
foot in the past thirty hours and will
continue to fall slowly at this point.
From Cairo, MS, a most encouraging
report comes 1t is to the effect that the
river there fell several tenths of a foot
since the last bulletin was issued and
will continue to fall at that rate for
some days to come.
At Vicksburg and New Orleans there
are no changes, the river remaining
stationary. At all other points from
which bulletins are issued a decline Is
reported varying from one-tenth to
eight-tenths of a foot. The greatest
fan is at Shreveport, La, where the
gauge shows a decline Of eight-tenths
Of q foot in twenty-four hours. The
Missouri river at Kansas City and at
Omaha fell three-tenths OF q foot. The
rivers at Nashville and Chattanooga
also registered a fall. In fact no rise
was reported at any point covered by
the weather bureau in its official bull.

DAY Will NOT Go TO CUBA.
His Selection rs First Assistant Secretary
Of State Spoils the Plan.

His Selection rs First Assistant Secretary
Of State Spells the Plan.
Washington, April 4.-The selection
of Judge Day to be first assistant secre-
tary Of state. which was announced yes
terday, overturns the plan Of the presi-
dent to send him to Cuba as special
counsel to watch the prosecution Of the
Ruiz investigation. It would be with
out precedent for such an official as the
first assistant secretary to go to anoth-
er country to prosecute case when
later on he might have to engage in dip
lomatic negotiations with that same
country on other subjects.
At any rate the conviction that the
pursuit of the original mission by Judge
Day would impair his usefulness In the
future as an official of the state de-
partment has led to the cancellation of
the order to go to Cuba. Whether any
one will be appointed to take up the
work OF special counsel laid down by
the Judge cannot be learned, but 1t Il
intimated that Consul General Lee is
anxious to be relieved Of his Office, and
any change there probably would make
more pronounced the need Of legal as
si5tance in watching the Ruiz case.

Memphis. April 24.-No new crevasse
appeared in the levees yesterday, but
the current OF the river is still beating
against the southern embankments with
fury that causes the gravest appre-
hension. The break at Delta has fnun-
dated 5000 acres of the finest planta-
tons In southern Louisiana, and the
water continues to pour through the
opening and is rapidly spreading over
q greater area. Reports from Green
Vile are not encouraging. While the
water is slowly receding in the over
flowed port Of the delta district 1t is al
most certain that the planting of this
years crop will be thirty days late. The
negro laborers are in a fearful state of
restitution throughout the delta. al.
though the government relief work is
being carried on theoretically. The sit

Colonel Vassos has notified the admirals
that he has been ordered to attack the
Turks. The Times correspondent at
Canea says it is reported there that
Col. Vassos has received this order. The
Athens correspondent of The Daily
Chronicle says that the Crown Prince
Constantin has wired to King George
as follows: 'The Turks ara quiet today,
owing to our success yesterday (Thurs-
day.. We have destroyed the Turkish
battery at Ligeria. The Turks have
retired from Nezeros and Rapsani. The
action OF our fleet at Katerina was ex-
celient I was in the first line of fire

The Chronicles correspondent saws:
THE Turks are greatly dismayed by the
destruction Of their stores at Katerina
and at Litochorion. Commodore Sach-
touris destroyed the stores from the
coast to the foot Of Mount Olympus.
Nothing remains, therefore, for Edhem
Pasha to carry away but hunger. The

manning road from Salonica is the verri
road, eight days from Elassona. The
reports OF the injury to the railway line
