In the splendor of the morning e'er the
stars have vanished quite,
When the earth awaits her bridal In her
robes of spotless white
And the millions watch impatient while
the holy bells they hear,
From the orient, old in story. comes again
the glad New Year.
The old year passes slowly. like a vision
of the night,
With it's ever-Shaded sorrows and its pleas
ures dimly bright.
In its footsteps all around us lie peoples
tears impearrd,
And Its dark and silent passage is the Joy
of all the world;
Let the bells that ring its going greet the
infant New Years birth,
May it's dawn proclaim an era that shall
brighten all the earth;
Let every land beneath the sun from trou-
BILE find release.
And read upon its brow the sign Of uni
versal peace.
Columbia greets the New Year with a well
come fair to see.
And brighter glow the stars that gem the
banner of the free;
To the future that 1t brings us, to the days
that come apace,
We trust the mighty destiny that doth in
vest our race;
In the Pushes of its dawning we can see
a grander fame
Than that whose halo gilds to day our coun-
try's deathless name;
In the brightness and the beauty Of the
years initial morn
Beneath the flag our fathers gave newer
day is born.
Hail the years suspicious dawning! let all
strife and cavil cease,
May every sword be buried meath the
1ad of
May every son of freedom stand erect to-
day and hear
With lifted soul the chimes that ring the
morning of the year;
From far Alaska's whitened coast to where
the waving pines
Their shadows shed where nobly stood the
serried battle lines,
From Names immortal surges with their
legends still untold
To where the Sacramento cleaves a para
disc of gold.
Ring out, o chimes, your gladness let re-
joicing rule the land,
God holds the New Years blessings in the
hollow of His hand;
He hath guarded we'll our country from
the days of long ago
When knelt the Pilgrim Fathers in the
New Years fleecy snow;
Each year hath brought us grandeur. and
the one before us now
Will set another star of fame upon Column
bias brow;
Behold! with added glory now the nation
doth appear
In the bright and matchless splendor of
the dawning of the year.
It dawns for every mortal on the land and
on the sea,
Its light is shed on every path that leads
to liberty;
The sunlight of its morning falls alike on
hut and spire
And kindles in the heart of man a new
and holy fire;
Lo! it marches to the anthem that the
Choir Immortal sings,
And every tongue may prophesy the bless
ings that it brings;
From east to west, from north to south
throughout our country dear
Let the proudest and the humblest greet
the dawning of the year.

Free Correspondence.
The climatic diseases of winter are
mainly coughs, colds, catarrh, bronch-
tits, tonsilitis and other catarrhal affec-
tions of the respiratory tract. Pe-ru-na
is an absolute specific for all of these af-
fections. Pe-ru-na will cure cough or
cold in very few days. Pe-ru-na will
cure chronic catarrh even of years
standing in a few weeks. Pe-ru-na
should be kept in every house as a safe
guard against the many affections to
which the family is liable during the
winter season.

In every city and large town in the
United States the Sister of Charity has
become familiar object. The Catholic
Sisters-sweet messengers of charity,
ceaseless and indefatigable in their
laoors-move quietly and swiftly in and
out among the people, receiving, dis
pensing, assisting and comforting.
Neither heat nor cold, fatigue or danger,
deter them from their errands of mercy.
They are to be found in palace and
howell; in the boulevard and brothel.
Nothing daunts them. Nothing dis
courages them. Vast institutions Of
refuge for the homeless and hopeless
have arisen in every city by their tire
less labors.
By no means the least service they
render helpless humanity is their dis
pensation of medicine. Their experience
among the sick, and their anxiety to be
of assistance to them, soon lead them to
know the most efficient and safe reme-
dies. 1t would be impossible that SO
popular and valuable q remedy as Pc
ru-na could have escaped their atten-
ton. Many letters have been received
from institutions of this kind praising
the benefit that Pe-ru-na has been to
them.

Pound for pound, size for
size, berry for berry, others sell
Coffee cheaper than we can.
But the difference comes in the
quality of the berry, and in our
roasting.
We have special machinery no
others use. We have enormous
facilities. We handle immense
quantities. We buy for cash.
! But we stand out for high quail
ity and most firms are too selfish
! to make coffee as we do.
II any one could give you the
same berry at a lower cost we
certainly could, and we would.
1t would double our business.
But il cannot be done.
You get in this world only
what you pay for. There never
was a woman who tried our
! High Grade Coffee in parch-
ment-lined bags who could not
detect that it was very different
from ordinary coffee.
1t is for economical families
especially. The working-man

Italian Representatives. Report
on Louisiana Lynching.

Washington, Aug. s.-The state de-
partment has received from the italian
authorities a copy of the report made
by the Marquis Romano, secretary of
the Italian embassy on his investigation
of the lynching of five Italians in Lou
isiana- The report presents the affair
in a serious light and shows that the
Italian authorities view the occurrence
as one of unusual atrocity. It contends
that there were no mitigating circum-
stances; that DR.. Hodges first drew
weapon and that the first shot fired by
DeFatta. was in defense of his fallen
brother and not a Wanton attack.
Describing the affair in detail the re-
port points out that some time after
the first two men were lynched the mob
made a second and then a third visit
to the Jail from whence they removed
and lynched the three other Italians, all
of whom it is commended, were in utter
ignorance of the assault on DR. Hodges.
Conceding some extenuating circum-
stances in the lynching of the two men
Immediately concerned in DR.. Hodges
assault Marquis Romano contends that
the lynching of the other three was a
thing of particular atrocity.

WHY We are THERE.

In a recent address Senator William
p. Frye of Maine answered the criti-
cisms Of those who oppose the govern
ment's Philippine policy.
The senator reviewed the work of the
Paris peace commission, Of which he
was a member. and said: 1.-THE demand
for the restoration of the status quo at
Manila would have been right if it had
not been for the protocol by which we
had to protect life and property there.
We could not demand simply a naval
station in the Philippines. for it would
have to be made a Gibraltar. We would
not leave, because Aguinaldo had fought
with US and helped. to conquer a com
mon enemy If we had taken Iuzon
only and given her a good government.
the other islands would soon have
learned the good news and would have
Fought for the same. Spain might have
sold the other islands to a nation thar
would have been our commercial rival

and powerful. The whole world sees

a young man named John Raygen to
Miss Georgia Harvey was to have taken

for one week. On Monday young Ray
gen secured the necessary consent, and
on the next day he went to work on
a threshing machine to put in the in
term before his marriage. He had
been at work only a short time when
a steam plug was blown out of the en-

he could be rescued he had been ter

THRILLING ESCAPE.
How Two Topeka Men We're
Caught In Quicksand.

Two Topeka men, Mr.. L. F. Leach
and Mr.. A. L. Williams, went through
an adventure Saturday in which they
came very near losing their lives.
They were caught in the quicksands of
the Cimarron river while trying to
cross, and saved themselves from
drowning only after hours Of hard
work.
These gentlemen are commercial
travellers for Topeka houses. Mr..
Leach represents the Topeka Paper
RE, o. t, and Mr.. Williams travels for
L. Beard & Co., with headquarters at
Winfield. Their route takes in the
territory including the western part of
Kansas and Oklahoma, and every six
weeks they make a trip from Jennings,
o. T., to Gushing, a distance OF about
25 miles in order to take in the smaller
towns which are not accessible by rail-
road. 1t was while on one of these
trips that they met with their thrill
ing experience of being nearly drowned
in the quicksand
They left Jennings at o'clock on the
afternoon of Saturday, and their outfit
consisted of a large sample wagon and
team of horses. When they arrived
at their accustomed place where they
usually forded the Cimarron river they
found that the recent rains had caused
the river to rise, and it is to this fact
that they attribute their accident.
Either the rising of the river caused an
accumulation Of quicksand at the usual
the regular fording place and attempted
to cross in a new place.
They had gotten nearly across the
river when the team and wagon began
to sink rapidly They whipped up the
horses, but this only tended to make
matters worse. The two men hurried
" got out of the wagon and, taking
some of their samples, swan to the
shore. farmer who was near by
quickly drove to their assistance. With
a rope which was in his wagon one of
the men swan to their team, which
was struggling franticalIy in the water,
and, tying one end to the team, return
ed to the shore. With the other end
fastened to the farmers team they
succeeded, after hard work, in dragging
out the horses. They then repeated the
operation and pulled out the wagon.
After a short rest from their hard
work they hitched up again and con-
tinued on their pourney. but it was
after 2 o'clock Of the next morning be-
fore they arrived at Cushing, the end
of their journey.

ganization and take steps towards Sc
curing a. charter
Last year alone the college book store
saved over a thousand dollars to the
students with a gain over two hundred
dollars to the college, excluding salary
OF the professor in charge. The dining
hall reduced board to $1-75 per week,
oter1ng more accommodations than has
ever been employed in the regular
boarding clubs. These facts have led
the students to believe that, since the
regents have discontinued these accom-
modatlons, the students should take
steps to perpetuate them at their own
expense.
Cornell, Harvard, Yale and other col
leges have cooperative societies where
by hundreds of dollars is saved the stu
dents annually. Why not do the same
here? Anything that reduces the ex-
pense Of an education is surely a public
beneht and should not be discouraged
The full plan of the cooperation, to-
gether with the constitution, will be
given as soon as they are perfected.
