Not Absolutely Ignorant.

1t is commonly understood that one
of the newspapers OF New York city
has rule to employ none but college
graduates on it's staff. 1t may or it
may not be true. Nevertheless young
man of good address, bringing with
him excellent recommendations and
equipped for journalistic work by sew
eral years experience, called one day
at the editorial office of that paper.
He made so good an impression that
the managing editor was about to as
sign him place on the staff when, as
if remembering something he had over
looked in examining the applicant, he
suddenly asked:
by the way, of what college or uni
versity are you graduateW
II am not graduate of any," replied
the young man, but know better

SALOON men MEET.
Consult as to New Petition of Con-
sent.
WILL BEGIN APRIL 18th,
Every Township to be canvassed. Mr.. s. v.
O'Hare Acts as Their Attorney
Work Well Organized

The liquor dealers of Crawford Co.
held meeting in the court house Mon
day for the purpose of making plans for
the preparation of new petition of
consent, said to be necessary according
to the recent ruling Of the Supreme
Court. The ruling referred to is now
before the Supreme Court for rehearing
and it may be that the petition will not
be necessary, in which event our liquor
dealers will have spent their money for
nothing. The meeting was largely at
tended, nearly every saloon keeper in
the county being present. VIM. Kelly,
of Vail, was elected President, T. G..
Mccarthy, Secretary and Ernest Riepen
Treasurer. The preliminary work of
copying the poll list and preparing the
petition blanks had already been done,
and after discussing the situation, it
was moved and carried that County
Attorney OHare be employed to take
charge of the petition. 1t was further
carried tnat each saloon keeper be ask
ed to contribute $1,000 toward the ex-
pense of the petition and that the saloon
keepers of Denison be asked to contrib
ute $40 each. The Denison men pro-
tested but the motion prevailed AS
there are thirty saloons in the county,
the amount raised will exceed $500 and
ought to be sufficient. The canvass
will begin February 18th, and it will
require the signatures of 65 per cent of
the voters to make it of legal effect.
This means that between $500 and 5000
names will be necessary. AS it is high
ly probable that the saloons of the
county would in most instances be al
lowed to continue even if they had no
petition, we feel that the prompt en-
deavor of the liquor dealers to comply
with the law is commendable.
The following is the text of the pc.
tition which will be circulated:

FIRST IN THE WORLD.

We Lead the World in the Drinking Of Coffee.
We are the greatest coffee drinkers in
the world. In 1897 we used 636, 600, 900
pounds of coffee. This was 100000 600
pounds more than was consumed by all
the combined countries Of Europe. We
have increased our consumption of COT
fee during the past year at the rate of
more than a pound per person, and we
now use fully fifty pounds annually for
each person in the United States.
The amount spent for this coffee is
enormous During the last ten years
we have paid out 1915, 900, 900 or $s7, 0OO,-
900 per annum for coffee alone. The
larger part of this money has been paid
to Brazil. But it is safe to say that
there is good reason behind this enor-
nous consumption of coffee, and the
revolution that has taken place in the
coffee trade of the United States during
the last twenty years is an excellent H.
lustration of the principal that Ameri-
cans and American skill can bring
prices to SO low a point that the great
est luxuries may be enjoyed by the peo-
pie of this country at the smallest cost.
Thirty years ago there was not one
pound Of roasted coffee sold in this
country where now there are forty.
In those days retail grocers bought
and sold coffee in it's green state, and
each consumer roasted it for himself
in an iron pot.
There is a famous brand of coffee now
before the public called Lion Coffee
which has come into favor with the
consumer, not alone because of it's pur-
ity and high quality, but by reason,
doubtless, of the fact that immediate.

Except in the mouths of democratic
orators, the Philippine war has ceased to
be matter of great interest to the people
of the United States, The islands are
rapidly becoming pacifed and the war
has become series of raids after stray
Cling bands of marauding insurgents,
almost similar to the constant petty
warfare necessitated against rebellious
Indians on the plains for so many
years.
II
The body of brave Major General
Lawton has been brought to this coun.
try for burial. In this connection it is
we'll to remember General Lawton's
words that the death of every American
soldier during the past year of war is
directly chargeable 70 the press and
people of America who inspired the in
surgents to continue the contest.

Another verse has been taken from
the democratic campaign song. 1t was
proclaimed on every hand that the
United States had given it's sanction to
slavery in the Sulu Islands, it is now
found that it was expressly stated in
articles of agreement between the Sui
tan and the American general that
slavery was not sanctioned and was to
be abolished as soon as possible. Will

tract some of the esteem" columns of
slush they have been giving their read
ers along this line?

Mr.. Shamus McManus, the celebrated
Irist story writer, tells in recent arti-
Gle of the recusitation of Ireland. He
says this is partially due to the more
liberal land laws, but is in greater
measure due to the influence of Amer
lea. Firstly, he says. the great emigra
ton to America relieved the overcrowd.
ed population of the islands; secondly,
the vast sums of money sent by the
loving ones in this country to the old
folks at home, and thirdly, by the
money, experience and superior know
ledge of agriculture brought back by
those returning to the Emeral Isle after
years of successful toll in America.
Verify, Ireland, according to this Irish
man, owes much to America, but is not
Americas debt to Ireland as CREATE
Her willing strong hearted, strong
armed sons have entered into every
phase of American life, they have filled
our armies, titled our soil, built our
railroads, aided our commerce, and
have always been loyal and true to
their adopted land. We do not begrudge
the money they have sent home out of
their earnings, it is better spent than
are the millions of Astor, and other
Anglo maniacs and title hunters.

Editorial Chat.

Another diplomatic victory has been
scored by the administration in secur-
ing the REIMBURSEMENT by Great Britain
of its rights under the Clayton Bulwer
treaty to partial control of any inter-
oceanic canal built in the American
isthmus. This removes one of the
great obstacles in the way of the
Nicaraguan canal, and it should be
built at once. The estimated cost of
the canal is from $1OO,0OO,OOO to $780,
100000. This seems vast sum but
when we remember that The drainage
canal cost Chicago thirty millions, and
that New York City is about to put in
a system of underground railways that
will cost thirty millions it would appear
that the United States cannot afford to
delay the construction of the great
canal which will mean so much to com.

HUNTSVILLE
Representative Wallace Will Introduce
 Executive Mansion" Bill

Huntsville, October u.-(Specal)-1n the next General Assembly John H. Wallace, Jr., Representative from Madison County, will introduce bill providing for the pur- chase of a plot of land on Capitol Hill In Montgomery and the appropriation of sioe'- 900 with which to build an executive man sion fitting the dignity of the chief eXecu- tive of Alabama. Mir. Wallace says that Alabama Governors have been embarrassed for many years by the need of place in which they can entertain the people on state occasions, the Governors being com pelled to rent home or board at the hotels.
 The building of an electric passenger and tram line from Huntsville to Whitesburg, on the Tennessee river, is being discussed by local capitalists and it is stated on good authority that a company will soon be or ganized for the purpose. Whitesburg Is only ten miles from the city and the opera tion of such a road would considerably re- duce the freight rates by enabling the local shippers to use water transportation.
 The Southern Railroad will within the next few weeks build passenger shed at the local uepol TOT Ine protecoaoh oA piS- sengers. The City Council and Chamber of Commerce requested the officials of the railroad to take the matter up.

ARE QUICK TO SEE
Good Doctors Are Quick to See and Ap- preciate Real Merit in New Medicines

stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a discov- cry of great value to the medical profession and the public. They are an unfailing specific in all cases of dyspepsia and dis ordered digestion.
 Almost everybody's digestion Is dsordered more or less, and the commonest thing they do for it Is take some one of the many so-called blood purifiers which In many cases are merely strong cathartics. Such
 things are not needed. If the organs are In
 A clogged condition, they need only little
 heln and they will right themselves
 Cathartics irritate the sensitive things If
 the stomach and bowels and often do more
 harm than good.
 Purging is not what Is needed The
 thing to do Is to put the food in condition to be readily digested and assimilated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this per- fectly They partly digest what Is eaten and give the stomach just the help it heeE<. They stimulate the secretion and excretion of the digestive fluids and relieve the con- gested condition of the glands and mem- branes. They put the whole digestive sys. tenn in condition to do It's work When that is done you need take no more tablets, unless you eat what does not agree with you Then take one or two tablets-give
 them needed help and you will have no
 trouble.
 It's A common sense medicine and a com
 mon sense treatment and 1t will cure every
 time. Not only cure the disease but cure the cause. Goes about 1t in a perfectly sensible and scientific way. We have testimonials enough to fill a book but we don't publish many of them. However
 Mrs. E. M. Faith of Byrd's Creek. Wis, says: I have taken all the Tablets got of you and they have done their work well in my case, for I feel like different person altogether. I don't doubt if I had not got them I should have been at rest by this time.
 H. E. Willard, Onslow. Ia., says: Mir. White of Canton was telling me of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of Dyspepsia from which he had suffered for eight years. As I am a sufferer myself, I wish you to send me package by return mail. Phil Brooks, Detroit, Mich., says: "Your dyspesia cure has worked wonders in my case. suffered for years from dyspepsia but am now entirely cured and enjoy life as I never have before. I gladly recom- mend them.
 It will cost 50c, to find out just how much stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will help you. Try them-thAt's the best way to decide. All druggists sell them. A little book on stomach diseases will be mailed free by ad- \ dressing E. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich.

OUTBREAK ON THE
 ISLAND OF LEYTE The West Coast in a State of
 Turmoil. NATIVES ARE LAUNDERING Several Small Engagements Reported The Philippine Commission Hard at tWork-Question of Harbor
 Improvements Criticised
NATIVES ARE PLUNDERINC (

Manila October 1.-The west coast of the island of Leyte is in state of turmoil; the rebel Ladrones are actively plundering the disturbers, following the old tactics of raid ing and attacking and then returning to the garrisoned towns, while the Americans pursue in the mountains.
 General Mojica's officers are surrendering and his soldiers attempting to escape to samar in boats are being captured and his organization broken up.
 The captured guerrilas and Ladrones, when questioned, stated that on the 5th in stant thirty Americans attacked forty-five rebels, rified their stronghold in the Cama- rine province and routed them, killing ten. TWO Amercans were killed and three wounded. Twenty men of the Thirty-sec- ond Infantry, in an engagement on the 10th instant in Batan province, had one man killed and four wounded.
 The Philippine commission, of which Judge Taft is the president, today passed eight bills of minor importance, including one for an increase of civil salaries of sev- eral of the municipal departments, includ- ing the native school teachers; for the or ganization of the mining and forestry bu- reaus; appropria ting s7500 in gold for the construction of a garbage crematory at Manila; and for the reorganization of the insulaf auditors office.
 Wright's bill asking for a million dollars in gold for the completion of Spain's plans for Manila harbor improvements elicited comment from the representative of Ma Dfla'S international chamber of commerce to the effect that, as the merchants had long been paying a special impost fund to this end, the merchants should belong to the board controlling the construction, and that as the United States had collected sSOO,OOO in gold in the occupation by posts harbor Improvements he failed to see the necessity for the appropriation of insular funds and suggested the use of special fund.
 The decision was deferred until Friday.
