Hoods Sarsap ariIIa
by all druggists Prepared yby & co. Lowell

Rev. W. G. Davenport OF Anacostia, ID.
c., read paper entitled, Thomas Daven-
port, the inventor OF the electric motor"
The subject of the sketch was one of the
first to conceive the idea of moving mscbin-
cry by the aid Of electric power. AS early
as the year 1884 he originated and con.
structed the first electric locomotive.
He discovered the law OF the reversal
OF the magnetic polesaud his lectures
and experiments attracted very great
attention during his day and genera
ton. He was thoroughly familiar with
electromapnetism and although failing to
receive a just recognitio for his researches
and valuable contributions to science he
never reinquished the idea that his inven-
ton OF the electric motor would one day
revolutionze all industrial activity. He
lived in advan 20 OF his time but deserves to
be ranked in the category OF the worlds
greatest inventors.
Resolutions were offered and adopted ex-
pressing the gratitude and appreciation of
| the society to the speakers OF the evening
| for their valuable contributions to history

waAT WE WANT.

Notwithstanding the associated press reports Alaskans in Washington City ,o the contrary, Mount St. Elias Is LOt the proper point at which to divide Alaska, nor do We want Co be called Seward Territory.
 Alaska should be divided, it is true, and that at an early date, but all of the southern part. including the entire Sitka land district, shoSld be included in one territory; while the Yukon country and Arctic s,ope, that country which is naturally tributary to the Yu- kon river. should be included in another territory. With that portion of the district bordering on the Guliof Alaska, including tho Alaskan peninsula, in one territory there can be DO question to its right to retain the name of Alaska. Such is the name of its principal geo. graphical features and such should be the name Of the politicll division. The other territory, which will be to the north, should be given the name of its principal geographical feature, namely. Yukon.
 In a very few years there should be at least two states where the district of Alaska now lies-the state of Alaska and the state of Yukon.

SILENCE oN TAX QUESTION.

With all the Alaska news that is com ing from Washington, there is nothing about one of the questions that is Of vital concern to Alaskans. The pres ident has not referred to the iniquitouS license tax that was specially levied against Alaskans, nor is it reported that congressman are giving the matter any consideration.
 This is a question that should be pressed tO the end. Not only should our people demand a repeal of that un- American law, but they should insist that the s9OO,OOO, or more, that will have been paid in to the national treasury on account of it should be re- funded. or applied to local public use. Surely the president and congress can. no, refuse such a just demand. lt can SO blinded to the maxims ofour govern meni as to regard a special federal tax, levied alone upon Alaskans, as equitable or fair.

AMERICAN FEELING.

There can be no question but that the splendid front the BOers have put up against the great power of England has won for them much sympathy from a great portion ot the American people. The United States gained their in- dependence after q heroic war, as did the Boers in 1881. and it Is but natural that the Americans should have fel
 low feeling for them in their efforts to remain supreme in South Africa.
 Yet it Is undcniable that the sober thought of our people is that the Eng. fish people must and should govern South Africa. Their numbers are greater and their interests paramount. There will never be a time again in the TranSvaal when the Boers will out number the English speaking prople, and as the Anglc-Saxon crowded the Dutch out of New York and the French out of Canada, they must in time pre- vail in South Africa. The Anglc-Sax- on is a governing race. It represents progress and the highest type of civil ization, and it is not within reason that |, can out-number another people in any countryo or region and not have any. thing to say with the manner Of the government to which it must contrib ute. The American people have too much confidence in the wisdom the sense of fairness and the progressive enterprise that has made possible the building Of the greatest nation in the world, upon the continent of North America, not to have faith in the Anglo Saxons in South Africa.
 The Transvaal war Is but an inciden; in the advance being made by the An glo-Saxon race, and in spite of whatever sentiment that may be aroused for the Boers ou account of their unequal struggle, our faith in the race to which VIC belong is an anchor that holds fast. The American will think twice before he will admit that the great English nation will go 10 war without having its quarrel just. I, will not be forgot ten that these same continental peoples who are loud m their espousal Of the cause of the Boer, were just as profusc in their championship of Spain's cause two years ago. Britain's enemies arc also Americas they arc tho enemies Of our race.

THOUSANDS LOST ON BRYAN.
Wall Street Winnings on Mckinley
About $:34O.0OO.


Many thousands Of dollars changed hands
In New York on the result of yesterday g
election. Those who believed that McKin-
ley would be elected had to give the ad-
herents of Bryan long odds, so that their
winnings are small compared with what
their losses would have been had Mckinley
been defeated.
Early in the campaign the odds were two
and one-half to one on Mckinley. These
odds prevailed in Wall street, which made
the betting odds for the entire country, for
about four weeks after the nominations,
when they heightened to three to one.
They gradually increased until as high as
Kinley in the early part of last week. On
the very eve of election. however, Wall
street had Bryan chill" and the closing
odds there Monday afternoon were four
and One-half to one.
The largest winners on the days result
were probably Edward Wasserman and
Bell & Co., acting as commissioners for
customers. Mr. Wasserman won small
amount on the result. He risked about
$1,000 Bell & Co. are said to have won
$110, 600 on the result.
Richard Croker is supposed to have lost
so 600 though he may have hedged. Bel

A little woman cut in Towes Hill IN. takes n
fall out of IL importance people in a letter con-
tanning the following: TT Ii amusing to see
some stanch temperance people who would as soon
be caught stealing a horse as to be- seen going
into saloon, that are tied down, hard and fast
to their coffee cups much as an old whisky
sot is to his morning dram. They give the same
excuse that the old sot does! they act the same
way. the habit is just fixed, Theff dram does
not as quickly ntoxicate, but It's steady use just
as surely breaks down the nervous system and
ruins them physically and mentally, frequently
setting up some fixed form OF chronic disease.
Consistency thou art jewel, just as much to-
day as Of old. Either break away from your
slavery-tea, coffee. or any other pernicious habit
you may have. or quit preaching to others. l
know what am talking about for was a coffee
slave fog time and can speak truthfully Of Its
effects. 1t almost ruined my nervous system,
caused constipation, headaches and sleeplessness.
l suppose If had drank enough at one time to
make me entirely drunk might have felt easier.
Finally the stuff began to cause coughing after
meals then concluded to part company with the
demon. and at once. npon the advice OF some
friends, took up Postum Food Coffee. The change
was marvellous. passed from invalid to q
