missionaries Want Supplies Sent to
the Stricken Land.
New York, April 24.-An appeal TO the
ecumenical conference has been made by
all the Indian missionaries in attendance
for the relief OF the starving in India. The
missionaries say: 1--WE desire to add 10
the testimonials from many sources al
ready given to the public by the press,
our confirmation founded on personal
knowledge and experience OF the un-
paralleled and indescrlbablc gravity of the
present famine situation in India. A
calamity so overwhelming in It's vast
ness. so appalling In the suffering It In
fiicts on millions Of the most helpless OF
mankind, claims the attention, the pity
and the succor Of every member of the
family of nations. We, many of u.s. bear
in grateful memory, as do our Indian
brothers and sisters, the relief which
American generosity brought to thousands
and tens of thousands in India in the
famine of 1897; in the far more powerful
visitation which the mysterious provi-
dence of God has now permitted to afiiict
that great land, We turn to the United
States for renewed and enlarged srunty
for all that an enlightened, humane and
wealthy Nation can do to aid her stricken
and starving, her poor and patient sis
ter
The executive committee OF the confer
ence has practically arranged for meet
ing on behalf of the famine stricken.

Paldi'S Patent.

A knotty problem in fence building
has been evidently solved by j. ID.
Paldi's recent inyention of a post made
of clay and steel-a clay base and a
steel top.
Since the advent of wire, farmers
have sought in vain for u fit compan-
ion for this long-lived substitute for the
rail fence. Many devices have been
put on the market but nearly all of
them were faulty in the extreme. Met
al posts are not practical on account
of expense and great weight; many
others by reason OF braces and un-
wieldy portions.
In Mr.. PaldPs invention are combin-
ed all of the merits and very few of
the faults of its predecessors. In fact
it has been pronounced perfect by
every one who has seen it. The base
is made preferably of burnt clay, cy-
lindrical in shape and of any desired
size or length. The top consists of a
standard supported by. steel rods,
forming truss of great strength. The
post is not effected by heat or frost,
nor any condition of the atmosphere,
being practically indistructable. AS
the price of wood posts is advancing
rapidly, and the cost of these will not
be great, it will certainly be very
good thing.

TIE present congress may not be
turning out scores of bills every day.
But it's members are not idle. Every
boy down there is working with might
and main regardless of bursting but
tons and blistered hands. The country
must be saved, and all hands are busy
making campaign thunder. In a few
weeks they will begin to touch the stuff
off, and all summer long the land will
reverberate with sound, such as never
was since the last campaign, and such
as the nation will never hear again
until another one is ushered in. It's
only once in four years that we have a
little fun and fireworks of this kind;
so don't censure the boys for fixing up
some roaring, ripping, cannon crackers
for the occasion.

Does 1t Pay to Buy Cheap?

A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want some
thing that will relieve and cure the
more severe and dangerous results of
throat and lung troubles. What shall
you do? Go to a warmer and more
regular climate? Yes, if possible; if
not possible for you; then in either case
take the ONLY remedy that has been
introduced in all civilized countries
with success in severe throat and lung
troubles, "Boschee's German Syrup"

issues to destroy the germ disease, bat

TIE developments which the investi-
cations of the method by which Mon
tana sen atOr secured his seat, paying
$4,000 therefor, is no surprise to any
who have had any practical experience
in politics. The fiat has long ago gone
out that none but rich men can obtain
high offices-or those backed by the
rich. Beyond the mere petty office, no
man gets there who does not have or
cannot raise the chink. And the high
er we go in official scale, the more
ehink it takes. Herein lies the great
danger which is now threatening Amer
lean national life. No nation on earth
can destroy us, but we can die of the
poison in our own blood.
Anent of what we say above, it is
but just to say word on the other
side-tell the why. If, as is alleged,
Senator Clark bought the Montana leg
islature for $4,000, he is worse than
a legislature who sell themselves for
that sum. No money would be paid
out for votes if there were no votes to
sell. The corruption lies deeper than
the millionaire surface of politics.
There are workers, helpers, henchmen
who work for pay; and it is these who
make rich candidates necessity.
These want no man for Office or in
Office who has no barrel to tap or leg
to pull They work for what there is
in it, and a lank and lean man finan-
cially don't pay for the Swimming.
