UNION DAIRY.

This dairy, which is in Anacosta, was
established about seven years ago and
has been rapidly growing in public favor
since the day it was opened Mr.. II.
w. Emo. a gentleman OF high standing
in the community, is the owner. AS is
well known to the readers of this paper,
there has been much talk for a year or
two concerning the quality Of milk dis
pensed in the city, and soon after the
appointment OF Dr. Woodward as health
officer for the District a movement was
set on foot for the purpose OF securing
the enactment of laws for the protection
of the public against INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers.
The unsettled state Of affairs with re-
spect to the business convinced Mr.. Emo
that there was room in the held ior an
honest dairymen. He argued that there
would be no lack OF customers II man
could satisfy the people that he was car
rying on a strictly Legitimate trade Mr.:
Eno's excellent reputation was, OF
course. a big help to him at the start
and he prospered from the day he be-
gan to make his appearance at the
homes OF the people among whom he
sought his first cusomers.
II is not necessary to say that the
milk sold by Mr.. Emo is wholly free
from adulteration. Indeed, so careful
is he to provide his customers with the
hest and purest article possible to OBJ
tain that he frequently has the milk ex--
mined without waiting for an official
visit from the health authorities; This
means, of course, that he keeps the best
cattle and that they receive the most
careful treatment. His place is always
open for inspection and there is never
she slightest fear upon his part that any
thing will be found wrong.

FIVE NEGROES LYNCHED.
Revenge for the Murder of Texas Planter
Race War On.

Dallas, Tex. Especially The details
are Just beginning to reach Dallas OF
race war in Harrison county, starting
near Hallville, and spreading in all di-
rections, in which five negroes have been
lynched since last Saturday.
The trouble is said to have started be-
cause negroes who had rented cotton
lands from rich planters refused to har-
vest their crops or permit the planters
to set their shares of the yield.
a posse of white men, il is said, went
to the home of negro, Thomas Wal
ker, on the plantation of Julian Atwood
Walker fired on the white men, killing
Atwood
During the early part of the chase that
followed one negro was caught and
hanged and two more were hanged on
Sunday in the timber near the Gregg
county line George Muckleroy was taken
out at night, near Marshall, and whipped
to death.
Taking it for granted that Thomas
Walker has been lynched, the number of
negroes killed is FIVE, and Julian At
wood, the white man, makes the sixth
victim of the tragedy.
All that has happened has taken place
in a district not covered by telegraph or
telephone, and such details as have come
to hand are from responsible parties at
Long View and Marshall. The people
Of the counties of Harrison and Gregg,
both whites and blacks, are reported to
be in frenzy of excitement, and more
lynchings are likely to occur.
The white men declare the black rent
ers have not only refused to gather their
crops on shares, but have swindled them
out of money loaned during the season
with which to purchase supplies.

The Mime Murder
Taking sunday Collections.

An old and not yet obsolete mode OF
taking a collection in a Scotch church
is by means Of a ladle-a small wooden
box at the end of a straight wooden
shaft about four and a half feet long,
the top of the box being sufficiently
open to receive contributions of money.
For all special collections this was the
usual mode in the chief churches of
Edinburgh when 1 was n boy at school
there so years ago. but it has gradually
gone out of fashion and is not often to
be seen nowadays.
For ordinary Sunday collections the
general custom has been to have a
metal plate or basin on a small table
at the church entrance superintendent
by an elder-a mode which was often
called the brod. When ladies' are used,
they are handed round the congregation
by elders after the sermon or after the
last psalm. and the common Scotch
phrase to lift" the collection may have
come from this custom.-Notes and
Queries.

REV. WILLIAMS HERE
New Pastor of First Methodist
Church breaches Two Ser.
mons Sunday.
MAKES A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION
Religion and Its Development
Treated--Large congre-
cations.

Rev. r. B. Williams. who succeeds
Rev. G. o. McCulloch as pastor of the
First Methodist church, made his in
itial appearance before his congrega-
ton yesterday and left very favor
able impression. His sermons both
morning and evening were closely
listened to by large congregations and
no one was heard to express anything
but praise for the new pastor, Rev.
Williams is a man of broad education
and mature experience in his work.
He is a magnetic speaker and his
words are uttered with quiet force
that compels attention.
For his evening discourse Raw.
Williams took his text from the first
epistle of John, chapter 4, verses
aud s: Beloved let us love one ano-
Their: for love is of God and everyone
that loveth is born of God, and know
eth God. He that loveth not knoweth
not God. for God is love-" The min
lister began with the statement that
truth. like the Savior. does not always
reveal itself in the beginning. So of
ideas and plans of men, time being
required for their development. Fol-
lowing out this idea reference was
made to the manner in which the
horse had been domesticated during q
period covering hundreds OF years
and the perfecting of the rose from
the primeval sweet briar was cited.
In fact the best things of life, the
minister said, are those which require
long periods for their perfection.
Developments of Religion.
The development of religion was
given particular treatment, and the
false gods that once presided in the
minds of men were compared to the
God of the christians. The false gods
are with us yet at times, Rev. Will
liams said; for instance, when deeds
of violence are done or when evil
thoughts occupy the minds of men.
Then false god is set up in place of
the real and love, which is God, is
driven away. Once, before the date
of recorded history, the term god sig
nitied a cruel deity, capable of inspir-
ing the bloody deeds of the early
ages. Now all this is changed and
the civilized human family knows
that the real God is tenderer than the
kindest and best of mothers, beyond
all human comparison; in short, the
personification of love.
Rsv. Williams left this morning for
Kankakee and will probably not fill
the pulpit here next Sunday. He
owns property in that city which he
hopes to dispose of during the next
few weeks His family will probably
come here before the middle of the
month.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT
To Keep Healthy and stronR ?

A healthy appetite and common
sense arc excellent guides to follow
in matters of diet, and mixed diet
of grains, fruits and meats is I'M
doubtedly the best in spite of the
claims made by vegetarians and food
cranks generally.
As compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form
and is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables or grains.
DR.. Julius kemussen on this sub
run down in health and of low vital
ity should eat plenty of meat. If the
digestion is too feeble at first it may
be easily strengthened by the regular
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. Two of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will digest
several thousand grains of meat. eggs
or other animal food in three or four
hours, while the malt diastase also
contained in Stuart's Tablets cause
the perfect digestion of starchy foods
like potatoes. bread, etc., and no
matter how weak the stomach may
be, no trouble will b experienced If
regular practice is maue of using Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
supply the pepsin and diastase SO
necessary to perfect digestion, and
any form of indigestion aud stomach
trouble. except cancer of the stom-
ach, will be overcome by their daily
use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
it's complete digestion by the syste
matte use of safe, harmless digestive
medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, composed of the natural di
gestive principles. peptones and dia-
tase, which actually perform the work
of digestion and give the abused
stomach a chance to rest and to
necessary nutriment. Cheap caJhar
VIC meu.oIoe, masquerading under the
name of dyspepsi4 cures are useless
for relief or cure of indigestion be-
cause they have absolutely no effect
upon the actual digestion OF food.
Dyspepsia in all its forms is simply
a failure of the stomach to digest
food, and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the indigestion is
to make daily use at meal time of
safe preparation which is endorsed
by the medical profe ssion and known
TO contain active digestive principles,
and all this can truly be said of Stu.
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
All druggists throughout the Unit
ed States. Canada and Great Britain
sell them at the uniform price of so
cents for full treatment.
