FAITH WITH THE DEAD.
Champ Clark Delivers Fu-
neral Grafton for j.. S.
Willis.

Louisiana, Mo-, May 27.-The
village of Farmer, in the western
end of Pike county, was the sscene
Sunday of a unique service. The
ceremonies were to honor the men,
DRY of a remarkable old pioneer,
widely known as Uncle jim Sam
Willis, who died in February. The
ceremony consisted of a funeral o.
ration by Champ Clark, a basket
dinner and preaching in the after.
noon by DR.. Hutchison.
Farmer is twenty-five miles from
here, but people were present from
here, Bowling Green, Vandalia
Curryville and from other points
in Pike, Rails, Lincoln and Aud
rain counties. About 1000 per-
sons were present and it was an
all-day affair.
Mr.. Willis was one of the first
clients to pay Mr.. Clark a good fee.
He paid him 81 200 many years
ago to defend Il will under which
he was IA beneficiary. His admira.
ton for Mr.. Clark bordered on rev.
erence and the exercises yesterday
were carried cut according to a
promise made many years ago.
The address was one of the most
eloquent and beautiful ever heard
in the county.

The Mexico Girl.

The Warrenton Banner is surely
only joking in the following:
a Mexico girl saw a farmer
driving up the street with a roller
tied behind his wagon. She inquire
of her companion the use of such
an implement. The other girl,
who by the way, was raised on IA
farm, replied by saying that she
supposed he intended to roll his
oat field =" Oh" returned the first
girl, "I've often wondered how
they made rolled oats"

Hog Raising In Missouri.

"Thc town Of Tarkio, Mo-, has
as its leading citizen the largest
feeder of live stock from its own
products in the world" said \. o.
Wilson of Missouri City, to the
Kansas City Times correspondent.
David Rankin, the gentleman
refer to, owns 10000 acres of land
in Atchison county, and last year
raised 100000 worth of hogs a.
lone. This is only an instance of
the enormous interests in the feed
ing of live stock for the market in
Northwestern Missouri. For the
last year or two the range men
have had a little the best of the
business, but Missouri, destined to
be one of the leading states in the
Union, has not Jagged in its feed
ers, and money is made from that
line of farming.

thorities have begun criminal
prosecution against Mrs. Chas.
Brucker for the murder of her
husband last February. Mr..
Brucker was a member of the Mod

The neglected back yards, says
an exchange, are the most success
ful incubatOrs of zymotic diseases
in existence. Their germs may
burst in unhealthy vigOr in un-
trapped sewers and dirty sink
pipes, but the filthy yard is where
they grow in their greatest power
to wage devastating warfare upon
humanity; it is there that the ty-
phOid wakes strong and spreads
itself in its pride. There are few
back yards that would pass an eX-
animation for cleanliness and pur-
ity at this time of the year. 1t is
the duty of every householder now
to see that his backyard is given a
thorO cleaning, its refuse moved
to a place where it will do the least
harm to human health, and pow
erful disinfectant scattered where
it formerly lay.

 Pineb1uff is the youngest of the three towns, and profting by the experience of it's older neighbors 1t bids fair to far sur pass them both in beauty and prosperity Pinebluff is really Northern village set right down among the pines, and these monarchs of the forest are protected by very stringent law. The same pines are were here before the foot of white man had trod these hills and valleys.
 The climate of Pinebluff is all that heart could wish, 1t lies midway between the extreme cold of the Northern States and the oppressive warmth of the Gulf States. This entire section is known as the Sand Hill section of North Carolina, lying east of the Allegheny Mountains, the blizzards of the west have spent their force III a vain endeavor to cross these barriers before they reach the Sand Hill, where they are moderated by the warm trade winds from the Gulf. Snow Is in- deed rarity here. And because of its elevation and distance from the sea-coast malaria is unknown.
 Pinebluf Is not entirely health re- sort; numerous industries have sprang up, where the mechanics of the North who have come South for the benefit of the health of some member of his family may earn his living
 There is an electric plant and large turbine water wheel which furnish the power to run the machinery in a large building for the manufacture of various articles. Floor space is furnished in this building to any reliable person who de- sires to manufacture any article on small scale. If they are not financially able to pay rent they get power and house room free of charge.
 Pineb1uff is the home of Hon. John T. Patrick, who may be called the father of the towns of this section, for to him more than any one man is due the re- markable upbuilding of these towns, and if you desire any information concerning this section do not hesitate to write him, as he is we'll posted and is glad to an- swer all communications. Don't forget to come South over the Seaboard Air Line if you wish to travel over the most interesting section of the South, through the famous tobacco, cotton and rice lands. by prosperous cotton manu- featuring towns.

BANDS FOR PAN-AMERlCAN.
Their Music Will Be a Great Feature
 of the Exposition at Buffalo.

Their Music will Be Great Feature
 of the Exposition at Buffalo.
 Arrangements have already been made for the appearance at the Pan American Exposition of some of the most famous bands of the American Continent. Throughout the season, from May 1 to Nov. 1. concerts will be given daily in various parts of the Ex- position grounds by these bands, and the variety of musical entertainment thus afforded will be a notable feature of the Exposition. Prominent among the organizations engaged is Sousa's $ Band, which is known wherever there are lovers of music and whose sue cess in the rendition of military music has been remarkable.
 The most notable achievement in the history of international events was per haps the triumphal tour made by Sou sa and his band through Europe, ex- tending from April to September, 1900. It was p years since an American band had been heard on the European Continent, and so emphatic was the success of the American conductor and composer that the tour became a series of ovations throughout France, Ger many, Belgium and Holland. 1t was the official band at the Paris Exposi- tion.
 The Mexican Government Mounted Band has been engaged to give con- certs during the Exposition.
 Fanciuilli's Seventy first Regiment Band of New York has been engaged for series of concerts during the sea- son. This band has also great repu- tation for its rendition of military mu- sic, and it followed Sousa's Band in the concerts at Manhattan Beach.
 Canada will be represented by sever al bands, among them the famous Thir- teenth Regiment Band of Hamilton, which is the crack band music Sorgani- zation of lower Canada.
 The Elgin Band of Elgin, Ills, which stands very high in that state, has also been engaged.
 Another we'll known band Is the Car 1isle Indian Band, which made great hit in Washington and New York City.
 When the Ancient and Honorable Ar ti1Iery of Boston made their recent not able tour in Europe, they were accom- panied by the Salem (Mass.) Cadet Band, which contributed much to the success of the tour. This band will al so be heard at the Pan-American Expo sition.
 The Brooks Chicago Marine Band, D. B. Brooks conductor, which is consid cred by many the best in Chicago, will be heard.
 Another band engaged is the Ithaca Band of Ithaca, N. 5Y., which is backed

 The Boston Ladies' Military Band. which has been before the public for two or three years and made a pro nounced success, has been engaged. It is spoken of highly by musical people in Boston.
 Besides these bands from other DOT tions of the United States, the best bands of Buffalo have been engaged for the Exposition, including the well known Seventyfourth Regiment Band and the Sixty-fifth Regiment Band, which saw service at Camp Alger dur ing the Spanish-American war.
 Another band of Buffalo is Scinta' s Band, strong organization.

Virgin Forests in Siberia.

For many years past, says a writer in Pearson's Magazine, the require ments in timber of the eastern hem isphere have been practically all sup piled by Sweden and Norway, but the day is already almost in sight when even this source may be unable to meet the demands made upon it. The available wood in America will soon be entirely absorbed by Amer ican people. In this direction, then. Russia sees her chance coming, and has long been putting her house in order, so as to be ready. Though in many parts of her European terri tories the forests have been cut down as recklessly as elsewhere, they still cover nearly two-ffths of the whole country. In Siberia so vast are they that their extent can hard ly be estimated, and several decades must elapse probably before they can even be explored.

Western Diplomacy Won,

Not long ago there was question about ''precedence" at the white house in relation to going in to din- ner between the president and the speaker of the house, which was set tied. This recalls the story of a western congressman, whose wife was very rich but thought very lit tie on such subjects. She was in Washington for good time, and re- solved to have it without bother. This fearless woman gave dinner party on one occasion, and when it was time to get her guests from the drawing-room to the dining-room she arose and said: "There is some precedence about all this, but I don't know what it is, and haven't time to learn. Just walk out to dinner, every one of you, and sit down any where yoH please. :. They ? say 7 ' thai this stroke of western diplomacy worked perfectly, and the dinner was enjoyed to the utmost.
