WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2s.-No
surprise is expressed in government
circles here at the news Of General
Blanco's resignation. It Is known that
come time ago the general sought 70 re-
sign the ofTlce OF captain general Of Gu
ba, and he was induced to retain thae
post only by appeals to his patriotism
on the part OF the Madrid government.
It is supposed that his purpose Is to
avoid what he may regard as the dis
honor Of surrendering the gem OF the
Antilles to the United States The
captain general OF the Philippines took
the same course. General Ar0las, the
second in command, is likely to nave
the unpleasant duty Of surrendertng
Spanish sovereignty over Cuba. Il %
believed that Blanco's action viii not IN
any way affect the evacuation save IN
the possibility It contains OF melting
trouble among the Spanish troops

The Roads.

A trip to Alton Monday in a
buggy revealed at least a dozen bad
holes-bad enough to break almost any
common carriage.
But this does not "hold a candle"
to the bad holes west and northwest
Of town. A business man from Kan
sas City by the name of Vining, had
an experience Monday which will
last him life time. With rig and
driver he started for DR.. Haynes
place out west. They got along very
well till just across Pawpaw; by the
side of Pat Shanahan's field they
plunged into a typical "Slough of
Despond." They got stuck. In fioun-
dering about the horse fell fiat on his
side and went under, and would have
drowned had not he had help to hold
up his head. The driver boy had to
wade about and do the best he could.
He got the horse loose from the bug
gy without any break except the har-
ness, which is badly demoralized. Mr..
Vining also had TO get into the mud
and water up TO his knees. BY use of
strings and ropes they finally got the
buggy out, patched up the harness and
got back TO Vinita alive, but in a
fearful plight.

An Amputation.

Monday morning Drs. Fortner and
Bagby amputated leg for Mack Tay-
lor, in the south part of town. Near
ly year ago Taylor was going from
Chelsea to his home near there when
a can of oil in the wagon got atire and
he was caught beneath the wagon and
terribly burned. The wounds never
healed and the limb had drawn up
and reached several times its normal
size, and presented sickening appear
ance. Tine shock left Taylor without
an apparent pulse for an hour but he
then rallied and is in fair way to re-
cover. DIR. Griffith and j. II. Shee-
han were on hand to give the chloro-
form, etc.

THE DRIFT OF A DAY.

The subject of the

Sermon. sermon. whichever
it was, wa S
Mountains" and 1t was intensely
interesting, especially his i'm
pressions of Palestine. When the
reverend gentleman related a story
about a woman fainting on Pixies
Peak and having to be carried
down the mountain to where the
atmosphere was a little denser and
an Englishman observed that the
reason they carried her down the
mountain to restore her was be-
cause there was Msnitou Oman or
two) at the bottom, hypercri:ical
fellow neighbor sitting near me
observed facetiously that DR.. Pal
more told that same story when
he was here five years ago. Some
good people are mighty hard to
please. DR.. Palmore prayed the
largest prayer | nearly ever heard
at the beginning of the service. He
prayed for Am erica and this great
and free government, and for Eu-
rope and Asia, and Africa, and the
islands of the sea. He prayed for
the Anglo-Saxon and the Malay,
the Hottentot, the Arab and the
unspeakable Turk. In short he
Just pleaded with the great Father
and Friend of all men, for all men.
For the sinful and the sad; for the
prosperous and the despairlng; for
old men and little children; for the
church and the home; for the
school and the nation; and for all
men everywhere. He just seemed
TO bind
In golden chains of prayer
The whole round world
Aboutthe feet of God"
But as left the building heard
a man say: "He never said one
word about the Indians in his
prayer"

Mob Violence Threatened.

People have been known TO be mob
bed by not leaving soon enough; but
Iot so with DR.. j. w. May, wonder
worker, of st. Louis, who has his
Office in Room 8, Cobb hotel; they want
him to remain longer. Mr.. w. J.
Miller was relieved Of a tapeworm SO
feet long by the doctor, and speaks in
great praise of his painless treatment.
Mrs. w. G. Collins and many Others
speak Of the doctors new and pain
less treatment. Chronic diseases are
the doctors specialties. Call early,
as Sunday, November 6, will positively
be the doctors last day,

Excluded From the Mails.

G. w. Edens was over from Alton
today and stated that the new paper,
the Alton Enterprise, had been re-
fused admission as second class mail
matter. This, on the face of it, looks
a little like some one had been max
ing false representations to the post
Office department at Washington.
There is no question but what the
Enterprise is entitled to admission to
the mails as other similar

has a great deal to do with the
dominence of the English speaking
race. In the first place the Eng
lish speaking people have more
business to attend to hence more
letters to write. The Sabbath
less people of the world are the
poorest people of the world and
have few letters to write. Thir-
teen-fourteenths of the human race
never heard of Sunday, and these
same people are the worst off
financially, morally and physi-
cally. The Sabbath is co-exten-
sive with the English language.
Wherever the English language
is spoken there the Sabbath is in
some measure respected and OBJ
served. But the point | want to
make is, if the Sabbath has been
so potential in shaping the worlds
history and has been so marked in
its good effects upon those of the
human race that it has touched, is
it not a fact that its observance
should be guarded scrupulously.
Kipling wrote poem on the oc-
casion of the queens jubilee last
year in which the central thought
was that his people and nation
should not forget that God had
favored them and that their great
ness should be ascribed to such
favor. So is it not also fact that
the Sabbath day has been the
sign. manuel of the favor of God to
the American people? And should
it not be impressed upon the ris-
ing generations "lest We forget"
