The astronomers of America are all on

of undetermined lineage, which blew up In
the close proximity of Denver soon after
midnight Aug 8. Bursting meteorites are
rare, according to Prof. Herbert e. Howe,
who noted this one while observing star

HEAZ THE SORE
MBZA THE PA TIEWT.

In spite of the remarkable strides
made in medical science, the old time
theory that healing a chronic ulcer or
old running sore would result in the
death of the patient, is still used as a
handy subterfuge by practitioners be-
cause of their inability to cure malig-
nant BLOOD TROUBLES. To any
thinking person such theory is pre-
posterous, that an offensive running
sore is necessary to conduct refuse
matter from the system; to be con-
tinually tapped, as it were, in order
to exude the poisonous sap from the
body, instead of having it removed
through the channels that nature has
designed for that purpose; yet on this
very hypothesis, thousands of people
are to-day going about, the victims Of
this malicious theory, threatened with
death if they heal the sore.
These cases come under our per-
sonal observation every day. AS a
rule the afflicted people are men and
women who have passed the meridian
of life, and whose future course is one
Of gentle decline. At this stage of life

Prof. Flinders Petrie, who gose every

prehistoric remains, has opened his usual
exhibition in University College. The relics
are chiefly from twenty miles of old ceme-
teries along the western desert from HUI
to Denderch and range from the prehis-
toric to the Roman period. The chief dis
covery of the year is the Libyan settle
ments in Egypt at the close Of the middle
kingdom about 2,400 b. c. The Libyan
graves are shallow circular pits about four
feet across and Two feet deep In these
pan" graves the bodies lie in a con-
tracied position. as in prehistoric graves,
but not all in the same direction.

and partly red or black, like the prehis-
toric, but of other forms The Egyptian
pottery and heads Of these graves are

ALibyan invasion. The fronts OF animal
skulls. for example oxen sheep. goats,

Conferences Between Americans
and FIlipinos Before the Out
break of War.

n most important chapter in the his.
tory of our Philippine campaign finds its
inspiration in the condition that exist
ed in December, 1898, and January,
1899, or the two months before the first
fighting with the insurgents. In most
records of that period very little prom-
nence has been given TO The work of the
commission appointed by General Otis
to confer with a similar body named by
Aguinaldo for the purpose Of reaching
some common basis of settlement. Be-
fore the critical student of the warfare
in the Philippines draws his conclusions
about our responsibility for the present
conflict, he should consider thoughtfully
the efforts of this commission to prevent
collision. It's personnel included three
Of the best men IN our army: Gen. L..
p. Hughes, provost-marshal general of
Manila aud inspector-general; Col.
Euoch Fl. Crowder, judge-advoeate-
general and Col. (now GEM James +.
Smith. of the First California Regiment.
Three more capable officers for such an
undertaking could not have been select
ed. General Hughes is a man of IN
usual common sense and thoroughly
cool headed, who never jumps at con-
clusion and weighs carefully all sides of
a question. Colonel Crowder is an off
Ger of high legal attainments who had
made a special study of all points in
international law bearing on our oe.
cupation of the Philippines. Colonel
Smith is one of the best all-round volun-
teer commanders that went to the war.
No colonel was more popular in and out
of his regiment than he. Broad minded.
capable, and well-informed, he occupied
a high position in the estimation of
those who knew him. Before going 10
Manila he was a successful San Fran
cisco lawyer.
These three men, then, actuated only
BY the best of motives and given u very
free hand by General Otis, met the
Filipino commissioners, Florentne
Flores. Ambroro Flores. and Manuel
Arguieles, appointed by Aguinaldo, and
strove earnestly and faithfully to come
to some understanding that would bring
about lasting peace aud permit the or
gauiz ttiou of II stable government. All
through January, 1899. they held their
jlint meetings, adjnurning the last time
only few days before the outbreak on
February 1. To make a long story
short, their Efforts were without result,
ali hough it seemed as if they had done
all in their power to pave the way To an
understanding. From "Ihe Half Year

Bright Prospects.

There is little prospect that the export
of wheat and other agricultural pro-
duets to Europe will be materially lessen
ed during the coming year. Prosperity
to our agricultural interests is also sup
plemented by prosperity in manufacture
ing.
The Londan Stati.t of Saturday last,
under the caption "American prosper
ity," says
There will be very large exports of
wheat to meet the demands of western
Europe. American farmers are dispos-
ing of their crops readily and at tolera-
bly, good prices, and they will be able to
purchase from the east and Europe as
fully as they have been doing this year.
The United States made great progress
Of late years in manufacturing and trad
ing, but it is still an ESSENTIALLY agri-
cultural country and its prosperity de-
ponds mainly on the harvests. There
fore fair wheat aud good harvesls of
other products mean the continuance of
the well being of the farmers who are
backbone and likelihood of the country.
Uuder the circumstances it Is reason
ably certain that the railroad traffic re-
turns and foreign orders for locomotives,
steel, etc, will continue to increase.
The tenor of the article prophesies an
increase of the present prosperity of the
United States.

Death of Summer Rowell.

Sumner Rowel died at his home in
Brighton, Aug. II, of heart failure. He
had been enjoying his usual good health,
even to the morning of his death, doing
"A hard days work on the previous day.
He was born March %. 1874, and was
the son of Charles and Phebe (Hathoru)
Rowell. May 81, 1875, he married Miss
Mary f. Whittier of Athens, this union
proving an exceedingly happy one. His
wife and daughter, Miss Ethel G. Rowell
survive him, also three brothers aud two
sisters.
His upright, temperate, aud industr-
Gus life is worthy of all commentator.
Ii should be an example for others. In
him Brighton loses Que of its most
honored townsmen and successful
farmers.
His taste for agricultural pursuits was
so strong that he had acquired 400 acres
of land. His love for his farm, home
and family was unique. The memory of
him must ever be an oasis to his immedi-
ate family as well as producing a noble
and abiding Influence over his towns
people.
His family will remember him as a
kind and loving husband and father, al
ways cheerful and thinking of their well
fare and pleasure even more than his
own.

The Presidents Policy.

At Ocean Grove \. j. at a Methodist
camp meeting, President Mckinley
spoke briefly to $1,000 people, being
introduced by Bishop Fitzgerald. His
remarks were taken to be indicative of
his policy on the Philippines. The
President said: Glove of flag and love
of country are not inconsistent with
religious faith. believe that there is
more love for our country and that more
people love the flag than ever before.
"Whereyer that flag is it stands not
for despotism and oppression but for
liberty, opportunity and humanity and
what the flag has done for us we want
it to do for all lands which by the for
tunes of war have come within its juris-
diction.
THAT flag does not mean one thing IN
the United States and another in Porto
Rico and the Philippines.

tiers resp citing the policy of the govern
ment in the Philippines. | see no harm
