INDIAN MAoIcIANs NOT CLEVER
Their Tricks Are Old and Surpassed by
Many Europeans.

From Harper's Magazine: The In
dian conjurers are not very clever.
They offer no new tricks and no won
dcrful ones. Their counterparts In
China are many times more deft, au-
datious and original. The tricks OF
causing a mango tree to grow in the
presence of crowd is the most vaunt-
ed thing the Indians do. and that
failed to see, though it is practiced by
many Of these vagabonds. Several per-
sons who have witnessed it told us
that it is worked beneath Il cloth or
sack and that it seems as If it might
easily be done by drawing a small
young plant from the performers
clothing and setting it up in the dirt
under the covering. The so-called tree
is usually but few inches at the
most foot--in height However,
against the reports of such skeptiCs
we must weigh the testimony of many
famous travellers. Nearly all the
CUniurers we saw were also snake
Charmers. Their work with serpents
Is extremely interesting, even after one
learns how harmless are their snakes.
The reptiles are carried in baskets ana
| bags and are of all sizes. The
cObras are best worth watching.
| Usually a mongUose is put out to fight
a cobra. but the ferretlike animal Is
not only spiritless, but remains so. |
! never saw or heard of anything come
! from such a combat except once, at
! Delhi, when the conjurer was not look
! ing and large serpent killed and half
swallowed the mongoose. And the
most interesting thing about that was
| the noise of the owners lamentation.

Expansion and Imperialism,

On the question of expansion,
with especial reference to condi-
tons in the Pacific, Mr.. Bryan de-
clares:
If the Filipino is to be under
our dominion, he must be either
citizen or subject. If he is to be
Il citizen, it must he with a view
of participating ultimately i'll our
government and in the making of
our laws. If the Filipino is to be
II subject, our form of government
must be entirely changed. y Re-
public can have no subjects.
THE theory that our race is di-
vinely appointed to seize by force
or purchase at auction groups of
inferior people and govern them,
with benevolent purposes avowed
and with trade advantages on the
side, carries us back to the creed
of kings and to the gospel of force. y

TIL HERO WORE NO UNIFORM
lie Brav,d Death In n Poi$pnoou' Well
to Save His NrI shbors.

From the Kansas City Journal:
NcGr Maple City, in Cowley county,
Oh, day last week, Farmer John Ste
version and his hired man went down
into 4 well to clean it out Both were
ovciaCmc by foul air and We're stone
dead when taken from the we'll On
the same day, at the little village of
Catharine, in Ellis county similar
catastrophe resulted in bringing
forth hero whose name is worthy OF
enrolment among the best and great
es,. Paul Meis went down into his
fathers well after a fallen bucket. He
was overcome by the gas and became
unconscious. William Pelzel bravely
went down after Meis, and he in turn
SucCumbed to the deadly vapor. Then
Paul NeOner went down after the other
two and met a similar fate, and this
was the situation when Henry karlin
arrived on the scene. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation Karlin had a r,y1
tied beneath his arms and a silk hand
lowered in the we'll carrying an extra
rope. Reaching the bottom he hastily
tied the loose rope around the leg Of
man and the man was hoisted to the
surface. Twice this operation was re-
peaied, and Sen Karln was hauled
out, he having become unconscious just
as ne finished tying the rope on the
last man All four remained uncon-
sCiOus for a long time, but doctors
finally succeeded in bringing them
around. Neither Pelzel nor Keoner
knew The danger they were going into
as they had never heard of water gas
hat Karlin did, and he took the chances
like a hero.

ing taken away from his father,
and protested with all his little
might. He begged to go bat all
the way over to the Bluff City on
the Illinois Terminal train, and
when the G.. & A. train was taken
at Alton he watched his chance,
and before the ears started slipped
off and ran as fast as he could
back to his friends on the Termi-
nal engine and begged them to
take him back to papa. His
mother recaptured her unwilling
purchase just in time to catch the
Springfield train.

Sold His Son for Sis.

Here is one way to settle II scpa-
ration without II divorce.
X. l.. Smith and Bessie Smith,
his wife, of Edwardsville, ILL.,, fell
out about something and last week
they agreed to separate. Their
mutual possessions were amicably
adjusted till they came to the Ques-
ton as to who should keep their
little two and half years old boy.
Both wanted him. The boy is II
bright lad, the idol of all who
know him. The father is rail
road man, and the boy was more
often seen on a cab seat trying to
ring the bell than he was at home
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith discussed
the matter for four days and could
come to no conclusion. Finally
Smith announced that he would
take $lj to relinquish his claims
on the child. He knew that after
removing his property and buying
Il ticket to Springfield, her former
home, she would not have that n
mount left. The fond mother
however, called his bluff in gOOd
style and took the stakes. She tel
egraphed to her father at the State
capital to send her the money
quick, and within IA short time il
was in her hands. Sam Reed, an
old soldier, was called upon to
stand witness to the transfer. Mrs
Smith paid over the $l5 and took
her husbands release of the child.
This did not close the incident
Mrs. Smith departed for Spring
field with the boy, going by wa.
of Alton. The little fellow die

A Consuming Center.

Colemn's Rural World
says: Mexico, Mo-, is consuming
81 900 worth of Strawberries per
week. This would seem to be a
pretty good allowance for town
of 5000 people. 1t indicates, too,
that the people of Audrain County,
capital have capital tastes and that
it must be a town of capitalists.
1t illustrates another point that far
mers frequently lose sight of,
namely, the value to them of pros
porous consuming centers. If the
$1,000 worth of Strawberries con
sumed in Mexico per week is pro-
duced in the vicinity of the town it
means the distribution of lots of
money in that community during
the strawberry season.

ATTACKS BRITAIN.
Thoughts Expressed by the
message" Weeks
Since.

Washington, June AT the
opening of the session of the Sen
ate today, Mr.. Perkins presented n
petition from organizations and
individuals of California asking
Congress to make an appropriation
for the relief of the furnishing pco-
pie of India and he asked that it
be referred to the committee on
appropriations. In 1897 he had
asked for and procured ship to
carry to India provisions donated
by the people of California, Ore
gon, Washington, Nebraska, Kan
sas and Iowa. The provisions ag-
gregated 4 900 tons. No official
acknowledgement ever had been
received of that gift so far as he
was aware.
He hesitatcd now, therefore, to
press n resolution looking to the
relief of the people of India, lest
the government of Great Britain
might not look with favor upon
the action of Congress in sending
to India unsolicited aims as it
might not look with favor on n
friendly intervention by this gov
eminent in the South African war.
The petition brought from Mr..
Hale an attack on Great Britain.
He demanded to know what Eng
land had been doing for her starv.
ing millions in India while she was
pouring out unlimited treasure to
crush two republics in Africa.
Mr.. Perkins said he did not wish
to debate that question, but he did
wish a careful committee report on
the memorial. 1t was sent to the
committee on appropriations.

Conviction must follow such

here. The testimony of Angus
ia residents should satisfy the
most skeptical. Here is an Angus
ia case. Read it and see if doubt can
exist in the face of this evidence.
Mrs. d. w. Pettengill of Ill Sewall
street, says: Mr.. Pettengill was much
pleased with the results obtained by US
ing Doan's Kidney Pills, which he pro-
cured at Chas. X. Partridge's Old Relia-
bic drug store, directly opposite the post
office. Their use proved of great
benefit to him by relieving kidney
trouble, which had for some time
caused him considerable annoyance.
In his case it was demonstrated that

thoroughly, and do all that is claimed
for them"
