is for protection against reckless use
of firearms, possibly in the hands OF
other needless poets, that the Adiron-

the legislature. The modern small
bore rifle sends bullets far beyond the
necessary hunting range, and ire
quently kills persons whom the gun

arm. a square hit are in all the walks
of life justly commended. But what
about the so-called spent" bullet, witt
its lingering power to wound? Mus,

coughs. rI wish this cough didn't
bother me So" they say. 81 wish my
cough didn't keep me awake so much, !"
and so on. 1t never seems to occur to
them that it takes active measures to get
rid of cough ; that a cough is like a
weed, growing right along, and the
longer it grows the deeper it strikes its
roots.
If man heard the alarm of rattle
snake near by he'd jump aside at once
to avoid the attack and then seek to
find and destroy the dangerous reptile.
The cough is a danger alarm as much
more significant than the rattle of the
snake as the disease it heralds is more
dangerous than the snake bite.

by snake bites each year. Consumption
Stays its thousands and tens of thousands
annually and it is the fatality of con-
sumption which makes the cough that

IT IS TURNED DOWN.
Platt Amendment Rejected by the
Cuban Convention.

Havana, April S.-As Indicated
tutional convention voted Saturday
not to accept the Platt amendment
reciting the relations which the Unit
ed States declares should exist be-
tween that country and the Cuban re-
public. The convention first rejected
the compromise measure proposed by
Senior Giberga. Senior Quilez' motion
to accept the Platt amendment was
then taken up and defeated by an
overwhelming majority, the vote be-
ing "a for rejection and only two for
acceptance. The two minority votes
were cast by Seniors Quilez and Gil
berga. The recent growth of senti-
ment against the Platt amendment is
attributed to the attitude of the con-
sentative element in reference to
making concessions and to serious err
rors committed in handling the stu
alton by the authorities.
| Santiago, Cuba, April s.--The ma
tional party, which represents ma
jority of the citizens of Santiago prov
ince, ratified an agreement to reject
the American demands embodied in
the Platt amendment. A resolution
was adopted lamenting the "actual"
American policy of supervision over
Cuban affairs as tending to create an
!agonisms between the two countries.
Cuban Paper Suppressed.
Havana, April S.-The Discussion
mas been suppressed by order of Gov.
Gen. Wood, and its offices have been
closed and sealed.
This action was due to the publica-
ton in the Discussion Friday of an
illustration having the title of "The
Cuban Calvary" representing the
Cuban public personified in Cuban
soldier being crucified between two
thieves, Gen. Wood being represented
as one thief and President Mckinley
as the other, both being labeled with
their names.
Senator Platt was represented as a
Roman soldier giving vinegar and
gall in the form of the Platt amend
ment, while public opinion, as Mary
Magdalen, was weeping at the foot of
the cross. Below was the following in
scription:
DESTINY will not reserve for us
glorious resurrection"
The picture caused much unfavor-
able comment Friday from the stand
point of decency. The editor of the pa
per, Senior Coranada, was arrested, but
released on bail. 1t is probable that
no other action will be taken against
the Discussion than suppressing its
publication for several days.
Senior Capote, president of the Cuban
constitutional convention, has visited
Gen. Wood and told the latter that the
convention, individually and as body,
regretted publication of this carica-
ture. Senior Capote said the picture
misrepresented the feelings of the
Cubans, who held Gen. Wood and Presi-
dent Mckinley in the creates: respect
and were deeply grateful to them.
On his solicitation Gen. Wood al
lowed the Discussion to continue pub
LEGATION, but the judge of the correc-
tional court will prefer charges, the
character of which is to be determined
later, against Editor Coranada.

and the news was accepted as an in
dication that the tension in the far
east would be relieved.
The major portion of the time of
the meeting was consumed in dis
cussion of the civil service in the
various departments. This matter
came up apropos of the presidents
conference with members of the Civil
Service Reform league Thursday.
Each of the cabinet officers gave his
experience with the law.
There was an informal discussion
of the report that Gov. Allen, of
Porto Rico, is to resign upon his ar
rival here, but no one appeared to
have any definite information as to
Gov. Aliens intentions, although the
opinion seemed to be that his resig-
nation would cause no surprise.

New York, April Sat all the

WARTS AND WEEDS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WISHING AND WORKING.

1t Is popularity believed that warts can
be wished away. But the farmer who
sat down and tried to clear his field by
wishing the weeds away would soon find
his crops gone. 1t takes working to get
rid of weeds, and the man with the hoe
must put in many long day before he
can take we'll earned rest.
1t is singular fact that great many
people treat certain forms of disease as
warts are said to be treated-by wishing.
This is especially so in the case of

The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1901-04-11
should Not Have Large Force.

Some of the ministers of the powers
begin to think that so large force as
1000 troops acting as legation guards
in the city proper would be a great
mistake. Such body would have to
remain in space of one square mile.
The troops could not be allowed out
side the legation quarter armed, and
it would probably not be safe for them
to go unarmed. 1t is thought by some
of the ministers that if the encamp-
ment were made from IL to Is miles
away, with the necessary stores, this
arrangement would be much prefer
able, as telegram could bring the
troops into the city Immediately.
Moreover several ministers have been
insulted by troops of other rationale
ties. Mr.. Rockhill and Sir Ernest Ma
son Satow (the British minister) were
returning from dinner in Sedan chairs

team match between picked players from
the Womens Golf League of Philadelphia
and the Women's Metropolitan Golf Asso-
citation for the Clement A. Griscom trophy
was begun today on the links Of the Morris
County Golf Club. There were to have
been eighteen players on each side, but the
Philadelphians played one short, as Miss
Elsie Cassatt failed to appear. This left
Jane Swords winning by default. The scor-
ing is on the Nassau system so that no
player can win by more than three up. The
Metropolitan team is by far the stronger
of the two, Miss Geneyieye Hecker being
the leader the next two being Mrs. Z. A.
Manice the runner up in the women's ma
tional championship, and Miss Beatrice
Hoyt, the former champion. Following is
the pairing of the players and the order in
which they started, the first named of each
pair being the Metropolitan representative:
