When preparation has an adver-
tised reputation that is worldwide. it
means that preparation is meritorious.
II you go Into store to buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex-
ample, you feel it has the endorsement
of the world. The Judgment OF the
people is infallible because II is i'm

trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an ex-
ira profit out of your credulty. Are
you easy? Don't you see through his

three motives who went out from
Mafeking last Friday to recover some
cattle which had been looted by the
Roers, and who, while they were
sleeping, were surrounded by burgh-
ers and shot without quarter, appar-
entity harshly misrepresented the ac-
ton Of the l'ocrs.
A press dispatch received from
Mafcking says that the natives in
question were unauthorized raiders,
and that instead OF being rnthlessly
slaughtered by Beers while asleep,
they beat back the burghers, who were
obliged 20 get reinforccments. The
dispatch ndds; "There was no qucs-
ton of surrender The leader Of the
natives, tall, spare man, rallied his
men to the last, and the fight prog
rcsscd from the rising TO the sinking
of the sun. Those 25 Fingoes, armed
with obsolete rifles, fought with grim
desperation. Machine guns and Man.
sers poured shot and steel into their
midst. Until their ammunition was
finished the natives fought, and then
the Beers killed all but one OF them,
who, wounded, hid In the reeds and

TeIarkana-Railroad Man Murdered Rt

Old Case Settled.

A suit instituted against the Texas q
Pacific Railway Company years ago by
a bootblack named Frank Black, of
Texarkana, has been settled at last.
Black, who has been backing boots at
Texirkana for several years, jumped on
q Texas & Pacific train to take a ride.
The evidence in the case showed that
a brakeman hit Black in the head with
q chunk of coal, knocking him from the
train. He fell under the cars and his
legs were both cut off. At the first
trial the plaintiff received a verdict for
tl2, 800 and the company appealed the
case, claiming that the Takeman had
no authority to make man get off a
train, and the company was not re-
sponsible. The higher court reversed
the decision of the lower court, and at
the second trial Black received YER
dict of 100000 The company again APP
pealed the case. The higher court af'
firmed the decision and the attorneys
for the railroad applied for a writ Of
error In the supreme court. This court
refused the application and the case
was settled.

of the respect and esteem of the donor

money was raised entirely by zone
cent" subscriptions, the movement be-
ing started by Archie Cadzow, of
Rosemount, MINI.
The idea met with such favor, and
the collection Of the money involved
so much work, that newspapers in the
northwest joined in the movement
and assisted in receiving the money,
and receipting for it by publishing
the names of the contributors. All
these names together, with a story Of
the enterprise, made up from news
paper clippings, and prepared in the
form of beautiful book, accompanied
the watch. The watch is 22 karat
gold. bearing the monogram "D' in
gold enamel on the front Of the case,
and the admira's flag in blue and
white enamel on the back. On the in
side of the case is an inscription of
the names of the Spanish ships de-
stroyed in Manila harbor, and the in
scription: Presented to Admiral
Dewey, by the children of Minneapolis
and the Northwest, May J, 1900, each
donor contributing one cent"
Attached is a-fob Of very unique
and beautiful design, made of gold,
copper and black gun metal, the gold
being obtained from the Philippines,
and the gun metal and copper being
from ships destroyed in Manila har
Dor.
The hours are marked on the gold
dial not by Roman or Arabic numer-
ais, but by the letters of the Admiral $
name, there being II of them, and just
enough to occupy the required
spaces.
Admiral Dewcy,in receiving the gift,
SAID:
81 value the praise of the children
and the affectionate enthusiasm they
show me, and / have never been more
touched than now. So long as the
children love me | am unassailable,
for they are unerring in their inten.
tons and know when they are loved.
"That fifty thousand little ones
should make me fifty thousand good
wishes as they bestowed their pen.
MES for this watch, is the proudest
triumph of my life. When | hear it
tick or see its hands move, shall say
to myself "How rich you are; fifty
thousand innocent, kindly friends
are with you and my heart will swell
with JOY and gratitude. | shall wear
the watch and feel it shall be tails
man against all sorrow and guaran.

The PRONUNCIATION of the trade au

Reform Mayor at work.

Mayor II. c. Ford, of Middlesboro,
Ky., has opened his regime in that
mountain town and intends to run IT
as he thinks Christ would run if it he
were mayor. Mayor Ford made his
Grst move, when every saloon, barber
shop, fruit stand and cigar stand was
closed on Sunday. The drug stores
were only allowed to sell medicines,
and not a cigar or glass of soda
water went over their counters. News
stands were closed, and the metro
politan newspapers were to b obtained
only from feet-footed boys on the
streets, who were able to evade the
police. This unusual condition of af-
fairs arose from an order to the police
by Mayor Ford to see that the Sunday
law was observed by one and all. A
great many went unshayed, and 9TH
ers had to do without the Sunday

WHY AMERICANS LOST A JOB.
They We're Lowest Bidder, hut Im-
posed Condition that Raised
the Cost Above Competitors.

Washington, April 26.-United
States Consul Cooling, at Newcastle,
N. S. w., in recent report to the
state department, explains why Amer
lean bidders failed to obtain large
contract, recently awarded, for 10000
tons of steel rails in the colony. Two
offers were obtained from the United
States and several from Great Britain.
After allowing for shipping charges,
the lowest bidders were an Illinois
company at $736,s73, the next above
being the Barrow Co., Of England at
$7d3,245. The Illinois company, how
ever, made certain stipulatlons about
exchange involving extra expense and
condition that the government OF
New South Wales should have u bank
er's credit, which would mean paying
n commission TO some American firm.
These conditions brought the tender
OF the Illinois company somewhat
above that of the lowest English bid
der, and the contract accordingly was
awarded to the Barrow company.
