The pleasant method and beneficial

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers

A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE

The forthcoming appearance of the city
directory, 1S99-19OO, offers new and addi-
ttonal evidence of the continued growth
and prosperity of our city. So far as
each succeeding years directory presents
the municipal history of the year that
has fled and the possibilities Of the year
that is in sight there is one fact which
may be accepted as possessing much
significance. That is that throughout all
the years of struggle and depression
through which we have passed in the
past decade there has never been a year
but presented a record of increase in the
adult population of the community.
The city directory IS little if anything
more than an alphabetical list of those
of the city's population who are engaged
in one or other form of productive oc-
cupation The number of such names re-
corded in the city directory is 9O,199.
There are that number Of such persons
residing in this community at this time
Whatever estimate we may make of the
actual population, young and old, pro-
ductive and non-productive, from this
basis, the fact that there are such a
number Of busy people living in our city
shows it to be community of splendid
urban proportions and possibilities.
The one fact made plain by the figures
of the new directory, and the only one
on which the G o b feels itself at lib
RI
conclusions, is that the increase of
actualS names in the forthcoming di-
rectory over that of last year is greater
than has marked any other issue of that
publication over the preceding year for
ten years past. That increase is S,159
names over the number in last years di-
rectory. There has been nothing like it
since 1890, while in the years Immediately
following the panic Of 1898 the increases
were as follows: For 1884, 531; for 1895,
100; for 1896, 4S1; for 1897, 30; for 1898, IT'S.
Here is plain evidence of a revival such
as We cannot ignore, and such as needs
no conclusion or argument to make man
ifest. We have undoubtedly reached the
turning point. Population is again flow
ing in upon us in something like its old
volume. The increased market for local
real estate which has manifested itself
during the present year, and as COM
mented on by the publishers of the direc-
tory, shows that the confidence which, for
a time, seemed to have fled the community
entirely is steadily returning in good vol
ume, and that it is not at all unreason-
able to indulge in the belief that the
early days of the 1905 will witness
substantial repetition of the experiences

IN LOVE WITH HIS SISTER.

I have the sweetest sister ever bIoomed
in beauty's garden,
A winsome little angel full of innocence
and grace;
If you could see the charming girl you'd
grant me smiling pardon
For saying she would knock most any
male heart off its base!
There's ripping music in her laugh, it
seems inspired Of heaven;
Her smile would melt the coat Of ice
from woman-hater's heart
Though but my sister, by her charms my
heart is sadly riven-
Is pierced from suburbs clear to core by
Cupid's singing dart!
Her pretty face an angel from the upper
realms would covet,
A smiling face set in a frame OF semi
golden hair;
Ali that sweet, winsome frontispiece! to
see it is to love it,
No man susceptible of heart could
'scape it's waiting snare!
Her teeth of porcelainish tint set in their
rosy portal
Seem far too pure to chop at such a.
vulgar thing as hash!
I'll bet my birthright 'gainst a dime no
other female mortal
Such lovely teeth of natural growth
upon the eyes can flash!
Her hands are beautiful in shape. and
Her feet-wel them l never saw, but
dainty are her boots;
Her nose is of othe Gfecian build, and
The melody is sweeter than an orches-
ira of flutes!
Her gentle voice falls on the ear like
golden love7bells tinkiing.
It holds me in a. waking trance that
seems almost divine!
But in this rambling. off-hand verse I
scarce can give an mixing
OF all the charms possessed by that
sweet sisterrdear of mine.
You're no doubt wondering just why the
bIoomin' deuce a fellow
Should group the feakings of his brain
in a poetic maze,
Should chew the rag of poesy and muse
ically below
Such hifalutin' language to exploit
sisters praise.
hence it is / shovel
Such tuneful fiel on the IRE to keep
her charms alight;
It is a new experience most deviishly

She's only been my sister since

but, as the captain observes, his long
career on the sea. during which no ac-
eident has happened to either life or prop
erty under his control, ought to be taken
into account.
The American public will naturally re-
greet the apparent loss of the Paris. There
is but little hope that the vessel will be
removed intact from its present position,
and it will probably be total loss
There can be but little doubt that those
who are called on to risk their lives and
property on transatlantic voyages, who
are familiar with the facts in this case,
would just as readily submit to the di-
rection of the suspended captain as to
that of any other of the men charged with
the large responsibilities which have been
his throughout his career. 1t is human
to err; and the error of Capt. Watkins in
this case, grievous as it's results have
been, will not, we believe, cost him the
confidence of the sea-faring public.

OUR TRUE POLICY.

To whatever cause we may attribute
the failure of our national administra
ton to yield to the tremendous pressure
which has been in operation for many
years to lead this country to identify it
self with one or other of the policies
adopted by European governments to-
ward China, enough has been made ap
parent thus far to give cause for con-
graduation that no such course has been
entered on by US
The statements made by the first sec
rotary OF the AMERICAN legation at St
Petersburg, Mr.. Herbert Pierce, con-
corning the disposition of the Russian
authorities and the Russian people to-
ward Americans. all go to show that tho
true attitude of this nation in the Orient
is to continue in its refusal to become
identified with the policy of any of the
nations which are regarded by the Chi
nese people as endeavoring to take pos
session of Chinese territory. 1t has al
ready been shown that the disposition of
the Chinese to trade with US in prefer
ence to any of the European peoples is
affected TO our advantage by our free
dom from any of the operations which
look toward the partition of China
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, on be-
half of England, has been fully heard, in
writing and orally, in his statements of
reasons why the United States should in

fore Lord Beresford had started to cross
the Atlantic England had engaged her
self with Russia in the recognition of the
sphere of influence" policy. Prince
Ookhtomsky, on the other hand, the
ablest recognized expositor Of the Rus
sian policy in China, has set forth the
cooperate with England. The outcome
of all the discussion has thus far been to
establish, beyond all question, that the
course We have already pursued is the
true American national policy. By
maintaining our present attitude we are
assured of the friendship of Russia, with
out giving England or any other Euro
pean power any right to criticise our
course.
Mr.. Pierce has made all this plain in
his recent interview sent to the press
through the Associated Press dispatches.
There could be no more convincing ex-
preston, Mr.. Pierce says at the outset
of his interview:
The relations between the United States
and Russia were never on q more cor
dial basis than at present, and the friend
ship which is traditional between the two
countries finds constant ex pression in
Russia, not only among officials but also
among the people of all classes. It is
not too much to say that. from the en-
peror down to the peasantry. there is a
sincere friendship for US and a desire to
become acquainted with American meth
DDS and to make use in Russia Of the skill
and ingenuity which have advanced this
country with such great strides. For
this reason there is great opening in
Russia for American capital, and for the
introduction of American machinery and
methods of doing business.
We have here a grand field for our for
eign commerce. All that Is really need

CAPT. WATKINS ERROR,

The report of Capt. Watkins, of the
American liner Paris, assuming all the
responsibility for the grounding of his
vessel. must be acknowledged to be a
very manly document. There is hardly
another case of the kind on record Many
commanders of vessels have from time
immemorial endeavored to break the
force of their own mistakes or negligence,
and have left to courts Of admiralty the
task, through the examination and an
alysis of evidence, to locate the respon-
sibility in cases which concededly We're
less plain than this. The public may safe
ly accept the statement of the captain of
the Paris that it was through no lack of
anxiety for his ship that the accident
took place. Notwithstanding that his re-
port does not seem to be entirely salts
factory to the United States local in
spectors.
The skill and discipline among his crew
which enabled Capt. Watkins to land his
passengers with comfort and without loss
of life or property ought to be taken into
account in estimating the degree Of blame
which attaches to him. The sentence
which ensues of two years suspension is
under all the circumstances,

THE FAIR SEX.

Atchison Globe
Some women think that only married
man can do wrong.
If woman IS truly fond of her hus-
band she believes he is coming down
with something every time he falls off In
his feed.
Women will thrust their daughters with
men under conditions in which they would
not trust theira husbands with other
women. ,4
When a girl laughs and looks pleasant
when she sees her steady talking to a
woman she dislikes, she thinks what a
great actress the world would have gain
ed had she gone on the stage.
An Atchison woman who has worked
hard all her life in order that her family
might have something saved up, is now
worn out and dying. Those who have a
good time as they go along are the right
kind of philosophers.
A girls idea of disloyalty is to keep a
secret from a friend.
When awife is away from home she
reads her husbands letters through care
fully to find something upon which sus-
piciOn may alight
