CHANGE OF CLIMATE
 WON'T CURE CONSUMPTION The SlOCum System is Needed.
A Curative Medicinal Treatment Pounded on Modern Scientific Truths is More Potent
 Than Air Alone.
FREE TREATMENT FOR LUNG WEAKNESS

If those of our readers who reside in the most highly favored sections of this country, where the climate Is healthy and invigorating, with dry and tonic atmosphere, will look about them, they will see a greater or less number Of their friends and neighbo.s dying of con sumption, while many others have already been carried off by that dread malady.
 These deaths have occurred from time to time amid the refreshing prairie breezes of summer; in the fair and mel low days of autumn and also in the dry and sunny seasons of a southern winter
 Such deaths amid such favorable sur roundings afford positive and convinc- ing proof that climate alone will not cure consumption that neither pine laden breezes nor bracirg mountain air will restore weak lungs or build up a constitution that is being undermined and broken down by the insidious germs of fatal disease.
 But, on the other hand, many thou sands of testimonials from grateful peo- pie all over this country, who have been cured by the Dr. Slocum System of Treatment, and are today in the enjoy ment of perfectly restored health and strength, afford the most convincing evidence that this treatment. aided by favorable climatic conditions and sur roundings, IS a positive cure for Con- sumption and all other chronic diseases of the Throat. Chest and Lungs.
 Therefore, those who go to the noun tains, the seashore or to southern eli mates, as well as those who already reside in such favored localities, should not fail to take the Dr. Slocum System of Treatment if they wish to derive the full benefits of favorable climatic condi- tions and scientific medication.
 The pr. Slocum System of Treatment Consisting of Four Preparations) is both medicine and food The medicines used in it allay the cough and lung irritation, heal the soreness and subdue the pains in the throat, overcome shortness of breath, improve the appetite and diges- tion, and bring comfort, rest and re- freshing sleep, while it's food properties are building up the constitution, enrich ing the blood and infusing the sufferer with new life and vigor.
 No single remedy will accomplish all this, but the Four Remedies embodied in the Dr. Slocum System of Treatment will. More than quarter of century has been devoted to perfectng this System os Treatment: every indication every symptom in Consumption and other diseases of the Throat and Lungs, has been carefully studied in the devel-

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT.
The Pittsburg & Gulf Receivership
 Under Judge Philips Now.

On application of the attorney rep resenting the Eastern stock and bond holders, Judge Philips granted an or der removing the receivership of the Pittsburg X Guffrom the circuit court of Jackson county, to tine United States circuit court. but retained the same receivers. Alto, ney Trimble then, on behalf of himself and the other receivers, filed motion asking that the ease te remanded back to the Jackson county circuit court and Judge Philips.
 The Kansas City Star says that Judge Philips's decision on this motion will finally decide whether or not the ease will be under the jurisdiction of the Federal court The time for the argument of thls motion was not set. but it will probably be later than May 1, as Judge Philips will take vaca- ton at once. In the meantime the present receivers are acting under Judge Philips's orders and at his pleas. ure.
 The application for the removal of the case from the Jackson county court to the Federal court was made under the "local prejudice act" the charge being that there would be a prejudice in Kansas City or Missouri courts against the State Trust com pany of New York because that com. pany is foreign corporation.
 ''It is simply suit to foreclose un- der the mortgage, said Mir. J. McD Trim mbe. ''The State Trust company is trustee for the bondholders, the same as the Missouri, Kansas x Texas Trust company is. It does not own dollars worth of the bonds. Under the terms of the mortgage the prin- cipal does not become due until six months after the default of interest. The bondholders have not asked for anything"

Though the wind blew sharply from the Northwest and a great canopy of cold, gray cloud obscured the sun, a large and expectant crowd assembled n the Auditorium to witness the closing exercise The interior of the building was appropriately decorated, and the fragrance of flowers ditfused itself throughout the room.
 Sharply at half past two. tho princi- pal, Mrs. Pipkin, with a few fitting remarks, opened the exercises. The program, which we are unable to re- produce, was appropriate in length and arrangement, and in rendering, highly creditable to both teacher and pupils.

contributed no little to the success of the occasion. At the close of the liter ary exercises, excellent music was furnished by Miss Anna Fertile and Messrs. Smith and Smith, during which elegant refreshments were served. Generously given, heartily received, the whole scene was a splen- did spectacle of southern geniality.
 A very noticeable and praiseworthy feature of the exercises, was that the students, in both word and deed, re fiected the laudable personality of their instructor, which evidenced be- yoDd doubt that she is not lacking in that most essential quality of a teacher, viz: individuality. Many teachers fail to make lasting impressions on the child mind and hence are incapable of insulting principles and molding char. acter, which is essentially thelr mis- sion. They fail, they wonder why and some even revile the insipidity of the student, when indeed the fault is in ipsos. They lack individuality or mentality, combined with nervous force

Alex ander made an interesting speech. com mending the teacher, and abounding in wholesom advice to the children He also made strong plea for the correlation of the educational force, and the establishment of better schools among the masses. all of which was very laudable because the future of our Re public depends on the intellectual and moral status of our common people.
 Short commendatory speeches were also made by Rev. Mir Kidding and Messrs. Taylor, Thompson and Rogers. In word the occasion was splendidly designed, enthusiast tically carried out, and greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
