to recover damages for the death Of
Davis, which occurred by his coming in
contact with live wire. At the origi-

SubtIeness of Rheumatism.

1t has been known for many years
that the most fertile cause of heart
disease is rheumatism. Only recently
has it been realized, however, that
many cases of rheumatism which give
rise to heart complications really run
so mild Ia course that they are not
suspected of being serious and are
neglected. This is especially true in
cases which attack the very young.
In children rheumatism often mas
querades under the name of growing
pains" In infants it often fails COM
pletely of recognition. 1t has become
the custom to a lamentable degree to
give for it the cOal-tar derivatives.
the various antipyretic drugs, anti
pyrine. phenacetine, and the like. be-
sides various derivatives of salicylic
acid. These drugs alleviate the rheu-
matte pain 5y benumb.Hg the nerves:
they also lessen fever. The result of
their use is that patients are enabled
10 move dUout inuCn sOOucr hdu lhCs
otherwise would, and this throws extra
work on the heart, and leads to post
rheumatic heart complications which
may cripple the organ for life. The
recent increase in the number o! re-
fusals of risks by life insurance COM
panies is thought to be due to this
cause. Doctors here from many parts
of the world deprecate the present
excessive use Of these drugs. Pain is
natures demand for rest. To allay it
without reaching it's cause is to drug
the sentinel who watches over the
citadel of health because his footsteps
disturb our sleepy. Y. Post.

TH End the PhiIippise Trouble.

a special dispatch from Washing
ton says that there has been no change
in the programme of the War Depart
ment in the matter of briRging home
the volunteer troops now serving in
the Philippines. The regular troops
now being sent to the Philippines are
TO replace the volunteers. In order,
however. that Major General Mac
Arthur may have the greatest possi-
BILE force to carry on a vigorous cam
paign, in the hope of ending the in
surrection within few weeks after
the close of the present rainy season.
1t is intended to allow the volunteers
to remain as long as possible without
interfering with the plans to discharge
all of them before July of next year.
This programme was decided upon
long before the beginning OF the Chi
nese campaign, and the situation in
that country has nothing to do with
it. At the same time, if conditions
should become such As TO require ad-
ditional American troops in China,
they would probably be drawn from
the Philippines.

The war in South Africa terminates
with the announcement by Lord
Roberts of the annexation of the
Transvaal by Great Britain. The
Beers have laid down their guns and
now bow in acknowledgment to the
Union Jack which tiutters to the breeze
over their little Republic.
This practically ends the war in that
country, but still there are few who
will Lever succumb to Great Britain
These will participate in guerilla
warefare until they are either captured
and banished to st. Helena, that
isolated British prison where the life
of Napolean ebed slowly away, or
they effect their escape to some foreign
country.
1t has been a long and hard struggle
by both great Britain and the people
of the Transvaal. The Beers proved
themselves to the world to be brave
people when they untlinchingly should
cred their guns and bid defiance to
the most powerful nation of the world.
Yet that bravery did not carry them
to the goal tney sought. They were
outnumbered by far and it was evident
at the commencement that they could
not long survive the attacks from that

poured in upon them.

Hypnotic Prize Fights.

We are promised something new
the prize fish: under hypnotic condi
tions. Rev. George Barton Cutter o.
New Haven, Conn.,, suggests the ap
plication of the virtues of hypnotism
in the training of pugilists. The rev.
erend gentleman's picture shows him
to be a Christian of the muscular
varsiety.
There are 81 eat possibilities in this
suggestion. Two pugilists fighting in
the hypnotic sleep would, of course,
be under the influence of suggestion
from the hypnotizer. Consequently
all the feits, hooks, punches. counters,
swings, jabs, upper-cuts and rushes
would be made mechanically, as sill
emily suggested by the controlling
mind.
This would be move! spectacle.
but it would hardly be susceptible "f
that high degree OF art treatment that
now causes the whole world to rejoice
over a scientific mill
There would also be the objection
that the hypnotIst would know before
hand just who would win. which would
knock out the betters. This might be
better for the race, but could prize
fighting survive the knock out.
OF course a cOmbatant in such a
tight could not put his opponent to
sleep, as both would already be in
that condition.
All things considered. it is hardly
likely that the hypnotic prize fight
will amount to anything more than a
freek exhibition at side shows.-Post-

The Eruth Has COrnered Them.

1t was once said that ''the pen is
mightier than the sword" but Mr..
FlOry, the Republican nominee for
Governor, is proving to the chargin
and sorrow of the Democrats of this
State that the plain, simple. every
day truth is migtier than either. He
has at least cornered them and they
are squlrming to escape that gaze and
the sound of that voice that is expos
ing to the voters of this State their
villiany and crockedness which has
been forced upon US for some years
past. The st. Louis Republic in a
little item says:
Colonel Joe FlOry seems determined
to prove that he is an inexhaustible
mine of misinfOrmatiOn concerning
Missouri's affairs and government.
From the above it is plain that the
shoe pinches. Mr.. Flory is treading
on the toes bf our Democratic friends
so hard that they are compelled to
''squeal.''
By dilligent study of our State
affairs Mr.. Flory is able to handle
the plain unadultrated truth with tell
ing effect. He has sifted to the core
the rotteness of the ringsters who have
been at the helm of our State govern
ment for these years. He is placing
these facts before the voters of Mis-.
souri, and the Democrats see in him
stumbling block that threatens their
downfall and they are trembling with
fright in their very shoes, and we'll
they might for ''hand-car Flory" as
they have termed him, is winning the
admiration and respect of the people
wherever he gees, and ere the Novem-
Der election he will make some of them
crawl into their holes and ''pull the
holes in after them"

FLORAL HALL INITIATED.
The Big Floral Hall On the New Fair Grounds
Formally Opened.

Monday night the new grounds OF
the Cape Girardeau Fair and Park
Association were formally opened by
a grand opening ball in the big new
Floral and Dance Hall. Invitations
had been sent out to all the dancy and
sporty people OF the city and vicinity
informing them of the time and the
place for a pleasant entertainment for
the opening OF the big fair and the in
tiation of the main big hall on our
new fair grounds.
At an early hour the people began
to march through the grand entrance
to the new fair grounds and by ten
O'Clock the big Floral Hall was dec
orated-not with a display of the
field and farm, the handiwOrk of
women, but decorated all the same
with the gay and festive of Gods
sons and daughters, all bent on hav.
ing a good time.
There were about two hundred pres
ent in response to the invitations
sent out and to say they had good
time would be giving only an intima-
ton of what enjoyment the young peo-
PIE had.

MUST SETTLE CHINESE QUESTION.
Commissioner RockhiII Says the Time for
Action has Come.

William Woodville Rockhill,
Special Commissioner of the United
States Government to investigate and
report on condition in China, in an
interview with a representative of the
Associated Press, emphasizing the i'm
portance of the harmonious action of
the Powers as measure of self
defense said:
If the Chinese Government is able
to break the concert of nations, ami
to bring about a disagreement on the
part of any Government, in such a
way as to secure any relaxation of the
joint demands, all the foreigners in
China may as we'll pack UP and leave.
This is the best opportunity to settle
for all time the status of foreigners
in China. If that matter is not settled
now. the Chinese will be encouraged
10 persist in their present policy, and
the Powers will have the whole trouble
TO thresh over again every two or three
years. | believe that all the Govern
ments are impressed with this truth:
and believe that most of them realize
tha; y definite and permanent settle
mem of the status of foreigners and
the esta ablishment of freedom of trade
are more important to them now than
the acquisition of territory.
This has been a deliberately planned
movement to expell all foreigners.
The DEGREES printed in the Imperial
Gazette prove this. The movement
has been practically successful, since
every foreigner in the interior has
been Obliged to seek refuge in the
treaty ports. The Imperial Govern
ment merely utilized the Boxers as
convenient accessories to its schemes.
The relief of Pekin is merely an
incident OF the crisis. The really i'm
portwnt work remains to be done.

formed man alive on Eastern politics,

A Year of Wars and War RumOrs.

There are some Indications that an
ether war is soon 10 be added to the
long list of International conflicts
which the world has had in 1890. The
trouble between the United States and
the Philippines began in February,
1899, and it Is still in techical sense
at least. unde" way. War between
England and the two little republics
in South Africa started last October.
and it is still in progress. China
made an attack on many of the ma
tions several months ago, and this
trouble Is still under way. New there
are indications of war between ROu-
mania and Bulgaria. The phrase
the Eastern question meant along un-
til the present disturbances in China,
the relations of Turkey to the rest Of
the world, or the relations at the trib-
utary or eN-tributary states to her, to
. tch othet', or to some OF the other
countries. Just a present Turkey and
her interests and antipathies, as we'll
as the 'quarrels and aspirations of the
states in the Balkan regicn, are over
shadowed by the Chinese conflict and
the British campaign in South Africa,
which Is to end in the obliteration of
the two little republics in that quar-
ter of the world. There is a chance,
however, that a conflict such as is
threatened between Roumania and
Bulgaria is nominally tributary to
that power, would reopen the Turkish
issue in all its grave proportions.
The Balkan regions troubles have
m-re than once profoundly affected
the history of Europe. They caused
the Crimean war of 115+56, between
Russia on the one hand and England,
France, Turkey and Sardinia on the
other. They also melted the Russo
Turkish conflict of 1S77-7S which at
one time threatened to draw in Eng
land and some of the other countries.
If war should begin between Reuman-
ia ank Bulgaria there is chance
that it would extend to other nations.
The issue between them is the demand
by ROumapia that Bulgaria shall
suppress its Macedonian revolution
airy committee, which is making some
trouble for Romania, but Bulgari;,
refuses to interfere with the acts of
that society. Roumania has about
the same area as the State of Louisi-
ana and about as many inha bitants
as Pennsylvania. Bulgaria co2ers
about as much ground as Indiana
and has approximately the same num-
ber OF people as Illinois. They oc-
cupy only small space on the map of
Europe, but their quarrel, neverthe-
less, is arousing some concern in ev-
cry chancellery in that continent. \
war in the Balkans, though partici-
pated in by small countries at the
outset, would revive the Turkish ques-
lion in all its aspect of gravity, aad
be serious menace TO the peace of
