of quite a Franco-American demonstra-

gratitude for the prominent part he
took in the success of their first fete in

who heard him a profound and durable
souvenir.

Cure For Texas Fever.
A discovery of much interest to those
who lose thousands yearly owing to the
cattle pest has been communicated to
the academy of medicine by NJ. Lin
Mere. one of the leading scientists on
veterinary subjects. He claims to be
able to preserve animals from Texas
fever by producing the disease in Sc
rum from animals which have been
previously attacked, thus alternating
the virulence and obtaining a vaccine
virus with which to inoculate and pro-
tect cattle against fever.

Two Ways to Learn.
'TThere are two ways of obtaining
knowledge. One is by induction, the
other by deduction; one by meditation,
the other by analysis; one by sitting

one is according to the eastern school
of philosophy as followed by the Ma

Left Fore Foot Most Potent.

There is another thing about rabbit
philosophy that is of great Importance.
The foot of the graveyard rabbit has
all the powers Of the foot of the ordi-
nary rabbit multiplied to a phenomenal
degree, each foot taking precedence as
in the others. The left fore foot OF the
graveyard rabbit is a thing which
makes things hum. 1t derives its pO-
tency from the fact that a rabbit
scratches on the grave with its left
foot All animals scratch with the left
at a time. Even chickens, when they
begin to scratch. always begin with the
left foot.
Recipe For Killing.
Now, while the left fore foot of the
rabbit is the ablest instrument Of con-
juring known to the followers of the
rabbit foot science, there are certain
conditions under which it may be pro-
cured that greatly enhance its virtues
for instance, if it is killed of a moon
shiny night. This is because on such
a night ghosts and Spectres walk
abroad and the atmosphere is laden
with such general skeeriness that the
foot of the rabbit abSorbs the occult
qualities of the hoOdOO. If a grave
yard rabbit be killed Of a moonShiny
night, and with a sassafras stick cut
in the dark of the moon with a knife
that cost 45 cents, there is nothing on
earth that will not yield 10 its powers"

oceanic canals, made n request that
the so-called Hepburn Nicaragua
canal bill be made "a special order for
consideration Monday, December 10,
the second Monday of the next ses-

SYMPATHY WITH THE BoERS.

No country In the world has taken
q single step In the interest of the
Beers except the United States. Presi-
dent Mckinley went further than any
nation In Europe in approaching the
British government to see whether
our good Offices would be accepted.
There Is n thing remarkable about
these Beers. They get no encourage
ment In Holland, where they original
ed and were their forefathers went
from. They get no encouragement in
Germany. 1t is now proposed that in
fiuence should be brought to bear up
on the Hollanders and upon the Ger.
mans here, while neither Holland nor
Germany has lifted a finger and will
nc, lift a finger to NEEDLE in any way
in the Interest Of the Beers.
It is we'll understood in the first
place that the United States cannot
NEEDLE, because it is against our ira
ditional policy. 1t is well known in the
second place that we could not NEEDLE
If we wanted to. There Is no way un-
der the sun by which we could 20 to
South Africa, and the rate at which
we are buying armor plates for our
ships makes it quite evident that It
will be some time in the future before
We have ships enough to make 1t safe
for us to interfere with any of the
great powers The people Of the Unit
ed States have a pretty clear under.
standing of the animus of the Boer or
ators, such as Webster Davis, ETC., and
know what is behind them and the
Boer %agitators who are now here. The
people may rest assured that the Unit
ed States government will not lay it
self liable to a snub by the British by
meddllng any further. having been
distinctly told that no interference
would be tolerated. The object un-
doubtedly Is to inveigle the United
States into meddling, to get
to pass resolutions and depart from the
policy of the country, all
done In the interest Of the Dem
party, rather than the Beers.
md for the purpose Of furnishing that
with material for use In the COM
ing campaign.

DRINKING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Chaplain Pierce Of the regular
army, VINO has been in the Philippines
ever since the treacherous Aguinaldo
attacked Manila on Feb. 4 1898 says,
in his report to the adjutant general:
When / first saw Manila the streets
were practically lined with little nipa
huts, perhaps about twelve feet square,
in which the natives were selling, at
q merely nominal price, not only fruit
and tobacco, but also native gin.
These "gin shacks" should certainly
be included in the number Of drinking
places existing at the beginning; and
their number was very large. The
character Of this native drink was so
fiery and villianous that it's effect on
such of men as used it was deplorable.
1t became my duty to bury two SOL
diers who never recovered from the
effect Of drinking it. One Of them had
been in the service about eighteen
years, and received from the officers,
In personal conversation with me, a
compensation so 1attering with re-
gard to his character for sobriety and
soldiery honor that 1t might be cot
ed by any man. He had never been a
drunkard, but this native poison was

THE FLAG SONG.

Who fears for the flag that freedom
blessed,
Though it wanders far from home,
BY the winds caressed to the east or
west,
Wherever it's sons may roam?
In the calm of peace or the storm of
war,
On land or the bounding sea,
With it's silver stars and it's crimson
bars
1t is always the flag of the free.
CHORUS.
In the calm of peace or the storm Of
war,
On land or the bounding sea,
With it's silver stars and its crimson
bars
1t is always the flag of the free.
Far from the cradle where liberty
reared.
It's brood Of free born men,
That banner Jared and has onward
dared
Full many a league since then.
Like a strong young eagle on wings
elate.
1t has followed its destiny
From the Old Bay State to the Golden
Gate
The fetterless flag Of the free.
Toward the south and where the fair
Antilles lie,
1t smiles to the glowing dawn,
1t scars on high In the sunlit sky,
On the memorable hill San Juan.
1t has followed it's well loved ships
away
To the uttermost alien sea,
And IL floats today In Manila bay,
The conQuering flag OF the free.

THE CoUR D'ALENE sCAREcRow

One OF the features of the late Pop
ulist convention in Sioux Falls was q
speech by q female agitator from
Washington in the result OF the lnves-
tigation OF the labor troubles in Idaho
and the picture she drew was enough
to curdle the blood. The following
resume of that investigation by the
Associated Press is interesting in the
same connection:
The Occur d'Alene riot hearing be-
fore the house committee on military
affairs is devoid Of much of the sensa-
o~nitalism that was promised by Repre-
sentatives Lentz and Sulzer. Bartlett
Sinclair, auditor OF the state, and the
man whom the complainants charac-
terized as "the arch 1end OF all the
tyrants," has appeared before the COM
mittee and made a favorable impress
sion. Mr.. Sinclair had exclusive con-
troll Of the bull pen," and all the le-
gal proceedings at Wardner. He rep
resented the governor and possessed
his authority.
A fair and impartial review OF the
hearing throws the blame for the
riots upon the miners union of the
Occur d'Alene district. II was shown
that q reign of terror existed there for
ten years, and that the blowing up of
the mino about a year ago was only
the elimination Of the acts and plots
OF These lawless men. The duty of
the governor to call out the federal
troops at that time, when the state
militia was in the Philippines, is unde-
niable. II was shown that Mr.. Sin
clair kept continuously in open action
the civil courts and other civil offices
of that county. In this action he was
upheld by the state, district and su-
preme courts. 1t Is not denied that
plumbers were made, the soldiers were
always as gentle as they might
been, and innocent men were oc-
OCCASIONALLY arrested and held without
trail. The severity OF the military au-
thorities was evidenced by their action
in forcing some OF the prisoners to
work the pumps at the mine. This was
necessary to prevent flooding. It was
also show that every case of injustice
vas righted sooner or later.
1t is said the end sought by the in
stigators Of the investigation was a
blow at the administration. In this
they have failed. The attempt de-
clined from the day the governor OF
Idaho took the stand and refused to
throw any Of the responsibility for the
situation on the federal authorities
and assumed 1t himself. The tele-
grams OF the president and the war de-
partment were also presented, showing
how they attempted to withdraw the
from that post, and how the
OF every labor organization
received prompt attentloa and investi-
by order Of the president.

so virulent in It's effect that he became
maddened and fingered In his delir-
ium a whole week, never having re-
covered his reason at the time of his
death. Our authorities set to work to
restrict this traffic, by a system which
finally resulted in It's prohibition. I
am not personally an advocate OF any
saloon but am forced to give my teeti-
mony that the substitution of regi-
mental canteens, In which only beer
was sold, In place of this traffic In ma
tive gan, resulted In a most immediate
and perceptible Improvement In the So
briefly OF the troops. I should welcome
the day when all men, out Of the army
as well as In 1t, might find II agreeable
by their abstinence to crush out the
market for all malt and spirltuous pro-
ducts. That millenial age has rot
dawned, and my opinion is that 1t Is
better to accept such forms of ~restric-
ton az are reasonable thar to insist on
q theory which, however ideal, Is I'M
possible Of enforcement.

SOMEWHAT MYSTIFYING.
Roberts Dispatches Give Little Gle

Roberts Dispatches Give Little Clcw
10 Present Operations.
London, June 5.-Roberts' report of
the movement of British troops in
the Transvaal is somewhat mysteri-
Gus. From the fact that French's re-
port took two days to reach Roberts,
at johannesburg, 1t is believed that
either French must be many miles
north of that city or that he is hav-
ing trouble with his communications.
The former theory is generally ac-
cepted as the most probable, and IL is
surmised hat Roberts vague phrase
setting forth that French is now
holding the place which | directed
him to do, north of Johannesburg,
means that his position is quite close
to Pretoria. The additional fact that
Roberts dispatch published today,
dated four hours earlier than the one
given out yesterday and taking the
proceedings no further than May 81,
leads to the conclusion that some i'm
portant movement is on foot or Rob
erts himself has not been able to keep
his lines clear behind him. Possibly
the next place Roberts will be heard
from will be Pretoria. 1t seems that
French should certainly be within
striking distance of the capital to-
day. Rumble appears to have re-
turned to Senekal after fighting east
ward and contemplates en- early for
ward movement. Boer prisoners say
hat fifty men were killed and many
wounded in recent fights.
The Cologne Gazette publishes q let
ter from Secretary Reitz dated April
90, saying: THE British government
promised the British nation that the
cost of the war would be betrayed by
the Beers. But as the latter Will not
be in a position to pay, Great Britain
must obtain the money from the
gold mines, which will thereby be
mulcted of half the net profits, where
as the Transvaal never levied n special
tax on gold. The instigators of the
war, Rhodes, Wcrnher, Belt and 9TH
ers, will suffer most. In addition the
British will have 10 maintain a garri-
son of $4,000 men, the cost of which
the mines will also have to pay. As
soon as the British troops are with
drawn war and rcbellions will break
out, not for years. but for centuries.
For England this means Il constant
source of trouble, annoyance anu
b~loodshcd."

holds Caucc of Republics.
Graaf Reinet, Cape Colony, June g.
The peoples congress opened here to-
day. Of those present many are
Dutch clergymen, commoners and
"bondites." Deviliers. brother of
Chief Justice Deviliers, presided.
Pretorius, n member of the legisla-
tive assembly, offered a resolution de-
scribing that in the opinion of the
majority of Cape Colony, the chief
and immediate cause of the war was
the u~nwarranted and intolerable in
reference of the ministry in London
in the internal affairs of the South
African republics. A member, speak
ing in support of the resolution, said
il would be impossible to hold out the
hand of friendship after the war, and
asked: Can we take the hand of the
English that is perhaps stained with
the blood of my brother?"
The chairman advised moderation in
all speeches.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously.
Another resolution presented af-
firmed that if the republics were an
nexed the peace and prosperity of the
country would be irretrievably
wrecked, and in order TO insure lasting
friendship and prosperity, the settle
mcnt must include a restoration OF
unqualified freedom and independence
TO the republics and the colonists be
allowed a voice in the appointment Of
a governor of Cape Colony. A delega-
ton was appointed to visit Great
Britain, Canada and Australia to eX-
plain the views of those represented at
