whars Candies Are Made.

Paraffin wax candles and the extreme

pira appear on first reflection to have
but little connection with each other.

supplies striking picture of the re-
sources of these wells. The oil falls
into a natural reservoir, one end OF
which is artilicially damned up, and
the supply is considerably in excess OF
the capacity of the existing refinery to
work off: Il suitable refinery on larger
scale is already in contemplation. The
enterprise mas been pushed forward in
the face of great expense. Now that
these difficulties have at last been sue
cesSfuily overcome, the prosperity Of
the Assam wells is assured, and the
pioneers of the undertaking have every
likelihood of reaping rich harvest for
their arduous struggle against malaria
and jungle.

With time, comes progress and adj
vancement in all lines of successfully
conducted enterprises. Success comes
to those only who have goods with
superior merit and reputation. In

Hubinger has been the peer of all 9TH

the finest laundry starch ever offered
the public under our new and original
method.
Ask your grocer for a coupon book
which will enable you to get the first
two large 10-cent packages of his new
starch, RED CROSS, TRADE MARK

peare pictures painted in twelve beauti-
full colOrs as natural as life, or the

All grocers are authorized to give ten
large packages of RED CROSS
STARCH, with twenty of the Shaks-

Century Girl Calendars, to the first FIVE
purchasers of the Endless Starch Chain
Book. This is one of the grandest
offers ever made to introduce the RED

The principal of the public schools
In one of the large towns of Kansas,
SO the story goes, was great stickler
for the purity of the language.
One sultry day during an exceeding
ly hot summer that portion OF the town
In which he resided was visited by
one of those destructive whirling
storms that sometimes sweep over the
country, East as well as West, and the
house OF the professor" as he was
Familiarity called, was totally wrecked.
The only person in the building who
seemed to be seriously injured, strange
to say, was the professor.
He was unconscious when taken out
from under the debris, but the fresh
air revived him. His lips moved and
anxious friends bent over him to listen.
Il wish you to understand he said,
"that this was not cyclone, but a
tornado"
Then he became temporarily uncon-
scious again.

John C. HUBINGER.
Remarkable Career of a Well-Known
Western Capitalist, Manufaot-
urer and dPhiInnthrOpist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John C. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk. Ia, reigns without a peer. AS
a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. MIR.
Hubinger, although but AZ years OF
age, can look back upon scores OF COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on number OF val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
BY inclination and force OF circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course OF
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made q

Buried Treasures.

The treasure of Hildesheim Is one
Of the most important and curious left
US by the ancient world. This treasure
came very near being reduced to frag'
ments before it was disinterred. In
1867 the German military authorities
cided to establish shooting ground
m the environs of the village Of Hides
helm. Work was already begun when
an officer found 1t necessary to dig up
a little more earth. In doing this tho
soldiers turned up the first silver vases
and found the hiding place. Work was
Immediately stopped and systematic
search commenced. But If only several
shovelfuls less of earth had been dug.
the treasure would have remained
barely covered and would soon have
been utterly destroyed by the bullets.

Secret of Youth.

Nlnon de rEnclos took her secret of
sempiternal youth and beauty to the
tomb. But she left her house behind
her. 1t is still standing, in the Rue de
Tournelles, with it's six stories and its
magnificent staircase of artistically
wrought iron. The people who live
there are not year younger than they
ought to be. but, none the less, they re-
fuse to allow the residence of the cele-
brated Ninon to be touched up or mod
erniZed. A rumor circulated lately that
staircase and other relics were going
to be removed and the building reno
waited But all the inhabitants of the
district rose up against the idea like
one man and prepared petition to the
Conscript Fathers. Their prayer has
been heard, and Ninon's house will be
preserved.

CALLING A HALT TO M'KlNLEY.

II President Mckinley and the men
who control him can read the signs OF
the times Alright there surely will he a
change in the administrators Philip
pine policy. The returns from the spe-
cial election held in the Eighth Con
gressional District of Missouri ought
alone TO insure that.
The Eighth was represented for years
by Richard L. Bland, whose name IS
associated with the silver dollar, and
who was the chief rival of William j.
BRYAN for the Democratic Presidential
nomination in 1896. The vote has been
close there for quite a long time. the
Republicans electing their candidate IN
1894 and being beaten last fall by only
2.SOO in a total of over 10000.
When Bland died the Republicans
thought they would surely elect his
successor, calculating largely on the
popularity of their own candidate, the
;lissensions among the Democrats, ana,
above all. the aid the administration at
Washington was extending To them.
The contest was a most exciting one,
with the result that last falls Demo-
cratic majority is increased In an I'M
usually heavy vote for a by-election.
What did il? The answer is simple.
Imperial expansion led to Republican
defeat The fight was made on this.
The silver question was relegated to
the rear. The necessity of slaughter
ing the Filipinos for the purpose of
upholding the flag was brought to the
front and fought honestly and bravely
by the Democrats, who naturally fear
ed that the brute instinct would prove
stronger than reason.
This Missouri district is not the most
promising field for campaign against
imperialism. The glamour that sur
rounds expansion is as bright there as
It is anywhere else in the West, where
national vainglory is n very strong fac
tor. That the Republicans calculated
on winning through this is abundantly
proven by the efforts made by the ad-
ministration and by the big st. Louis
new wspapers. Their defeat is emphatic,
and shows that the American public
still stands by the ConstitutiOn.-New
York News.

KiplinS and Quay.

The story has been told that Rudyard
Kipling in his younger days went out
to Beaver to write for an English pub
lication n sketch of the Pennsylvania
political leader rs a typical American
boss. 1t Is not difficult to imagine what
Mr.. Kipling expected TO find. At the
Beaver home of Quay the since famous
author was ushered into the best pri-
vate library in Pennsylvania. The con
versation, instead of throwing light
upon political pulls and the methods of
bossism, was led by Quay to the liter
ature of the old world, and that theme
in its personal and artistic aspects was
discussedeby the two men with such a
complete sympathy that the visitor
after he came away never carried out
his original purpose.

Money and the Masses.

When the Ohio State Democratic con

ing the Chicago platform with full em-
phasis it served notice on the Repub-
lican party that gold legislation in Con

of 1896 in more than its original bitter
ness.
There can be no doubt that the mass
es in the United States believe in bimet-
allism. The fact that 6,30OOOO votes
were east for William j. Bryan ami free
silver in 1896 shows how the people
stand, and but for the false promises
and coercion of the money power that
vote would have been largely increased.
