quired reading has been done
The committee on high school was
abolished as the duties were never well

ga man is known by the company he
keeps"
Above are the pictures of two we'll
known and noble gentlemen. One is
the Rt. Rev. Bishop Edward Wilson, D.
D., LID, and the other is Rev. J. E.
Rankin, DID, LID, president of How
ard University, Washington, D. c. These
gentlemen have secured the high posi-
lions they hold and the confidence
which everyone has in them through
the fidelity they have shown to human
ity and the cause they represent. They
are men who have the confidence of all
who know them; men who love human
ity and seek by every means in their
power to do everything to benefit it.
1t is notable, though not strange,
that both these gentlemen have found
great help and assistance from the
same source, namely one of the great
discoveries of the age.

Citizens of Turner Have the Santa Fe
Enjoined From Aiding.

Kansas City, Feb. 21-By a decision
rendered by Judge Holt of the common
pleas court Saturday, the people of
Turner will not be troubled with insOm-
MIA due to the presence of a dynamite
factory in that vicinity.
Judge Holt permanently enjoined the
A, T. & S. F. Ry. from operating a
switch on the farm of R. E. Gable in
the Kaw valley, just west of Argentine.
This switch was to have run to the
new dynamite factory, which has been
in progress of erection for several
weeks. without the switch the dyna-
mite factory could not be operated. The
Santa Fea was enjoined by the Turner
people for this purpose.
The building of the factory caused all
kinds of talk in the village of Turner.
The people were opposed to it because
it endangered the lives of their children
as well as the entire population of the
town.
These facts were placed before Judge
Holt by the board of education, which
was the plaintiff in the injunction pro-
ceedings, and the judge sustained its
claim.

UNSUITABLE NEW ENGLAND
She Now Demands Protection From
Home Competition.

washington, Feb. 2.-A delegation of
southern cotton mill men appeared before
the judiciary committee of the house to
oppose the passage of a joint resolution
prepared by Representative Lowering OF
Massachusetts to authorize congress to
regulate the hours of labor in the different
states.
Mr.. Lowering, the author of the meas
nre. first addressed the committee in its
favor. His argument was an exhibit or
the needs of the manufacturing interests
of his state for protection against com
petition outside the state, and he thought
this could be best accomplished by law
making the unfavorable conditions sur
rounding labor the same as in New Eng
land.
He was followed by Representative
Walker of Massachusetts in a speech ia
voring the bill Colonel James L. Orr OF
Piedmont, S. C., addressed the committee
in opposition to the bin.
Colonel Orr pointed out the great con-
fusion to which such an opening for spe-
cial legislation would lead. He said that,
while we all know the measure is directed
at the cotton mills of the south, it never
theless opened up the way for demands
to be made upon congress in every sort
of manufacturing interest. He concluded
that. all things considered, the southern
mill operatives received more net money
for labor than those in the east.
Mr.. D. A. Thompkins of Charlotte, N.
G., gave the names of a number of New
England mills which had in 1897 paid 10
and 20 per cent dividends He believed
that the trouble came, not so much from
the competition of the two sections as
from unsatisfactory general trade cond1-
lions. He believed that the remedy in
the direction of improving domestic trade
conditions lay in a revision of the cur
rency system
Mr.. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts char
acterized the eleven hours a day employ
ment as crime. stigmatized all above 6
per cent in the 10 per cent dividends
which the manufacturers stated the mills
paid as a robbery of the operatives, and
said with equal conditions of hours the
wage problem would regulate itself

There are men innumerable who have
been worn out by the cares and strains
of life, who are less energetic and ac-
tive than formerly; who feel a lack of
ambition when they should be ener-
getic, and who do not know the cause
There is but one cause for all these
troubles, and that is, kidney or liver
disease.
There are many women who are IN
accountably pale, sallow, sickly, who
lack appetite and are virtually a bur
den to their friends and yet who do not
realize the occasion of such troubles.
It all arises from female difficulties
caused by imperfect kidneys. To all
such the outspoken words above quoted
should come as blessing.
When such well known and noble
men as the above speak in such frank
and manly terms as they do of a rem
edy, they thoroughly know there can
not be the slightest question as to it's
great merits and its power to benefit
mankind.

Carbonate, Feb. 21.-Since the de-
struction of the school building by fire
on the 4th inst, Carbonate has been
without schools.
A public meeting was held here Sat
urday to discuss the advisabiIity of
continuing the schools to the end of the
uneXpired term.
After much discussion, a vote was
taken on a motion authorizing the
board of education to proceed in the
matter of renting and fitting rooms for
school purposes, but the proposition
was negatived by a very small MAORI
ty.
This action leaves the city without
schools until the. completion of the con-
templated new structure next fall.
