Heads of Two Universities at

4 LONG TALK WITH SCHURMAN.
R0osevelt's Autumn Tour Has No PO- liticaI significance-Is DispIeased With False Stories Moody
 and PIatt Are Expected.

OYSTER BAY, N. r., July 24.-The president entertained at luncheon yes terday President Jacob Gould Schur- man of Cornell university, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university and Captain F. Norton God dard of New York, who long has been identified with the civic reform in New York. President Schurman is passing the summer at his country home near here, and President Butler came to spend the day with the president at Sagamore Hill
 During the afternoon the president and Professor Schurmanf had talk about the Philippine situation, going oyerthe subject with some care. Pres ident Schurman on the 4th of August is to deliver an address at Chautauqua in which he will deal pretty fully with the Philippine situation as he views it. It is understood that he regards it as likely that the subject will. resolve it. self into condition entirely satisfac tory to the Filipinos in a comparative ly brief time.
 President Butler remained the guest of the president until this morning, but did not accompany the presidential party to Sea Girt.
 George Edward Graham of Albany was also one of the guests Of the presi- dent at luncheon. He returned to his home last night. so v
 President Roosevelt is displeased somewhat by misinterpretation of his motives in accepting invitations to meet and speak to the people of sey- eral sections of the country this fall. It has been announced in some places that Mir. Roosevelt is to make a cam paign, particularly in New York, with the idea of offsetting any aggressive opposition to his political views. It can be said that he has no such intention, Such invitations to speak as he has ac- cepted have come from people repre- senting all shades of political opinion. While his addresses will be along Re publican lines so far as they may re late to politics, they will not be polit- ical speeches.
 William H. Moody, secretary of the navy, is expected to arrive at Saga more Hill tomorrow, perhaps in the early evening, on either the Dolphin or the naval tug from the Brooklyn navy yard He will remain with the presi- dent probably until Monday morning
 Senator Platt of New York will visit the president, probably on the 3oth inst, coming to Oyster Bay in accord. ance with previous arrangements on tue yacht Mayaewer

M,K1NLEY MADE JOKE GOOD.
Circumstances Under Which a Great
 Speech Was Delivered.

ssSpeaking of Mckinley" said a member of the New York Ohio soci- ety, to a correspondent, reminds me of one of the few. jokes e ever crack ed from public platform.
 'sIt W as at our dinner of 1900, given in his honor just before the opening of his second presidential campaign. The president had promised to attend but with the strict understanding that he was not to be asked to speak
 The evening program was we'll un- der way when President Southard arose, looked at Mckinley, with the air of a man who was about to take a plunge and said: I have promised President Mckinley that I will not ask him to speak, I shall keep that promise, but I have made no agree ment, gentlemen, that will prevent your calling upon him"
 ''The house took the hint There was a roar and the demand was em- phatfc and insistent.
 seFle President arose. He looked reproachfully at Southard and ap- pealingly at the guests. Then he said: I had the solemn promise of your officers, gentlemen, that I should not be called upon to speak. I have therefore come carefully prepared.'
 sfWith that he took a manuscript from his pocket It was written speech, carefully prepared. and real 1y sounded the keynote of his 1900 presidential campaign"

Everybody Can't Do Everything.

We can't paint picture, or carve q statue, or make a coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do it because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for good while-bc- cause we have studied it, and thought about it, and worked hard as any painter ever did. It requires as much hard work, and practice, and talent, to make good laundry as to make good picture. Everybody can't paint pie ture-everybody can't wash clothes per- fectly. We want you to give us fair trial, and allow us to prove our word

THE sTRoNe-YoHE CASE.
The Captain Saved by His Mother.
 Has Left Woman For Good.

The Captain Saved by His Mother.
 Has Left Woman For Good.
 NEW YORK, July 24.-Putnam Bradlee Strong, who escaped from the clutches of the law through the gener- osity of his family after May Yohe had charged him with the larceny of all her jewels, is not on his way to Japan, but within easy reach of New York
 Job B. Hedges, who represented the Strong family in offering financial balm to Miss Yohe, states that young Strong will probably reach New York in two days. MT. Hedges says Miss Yohe and Captain Strong will not be reconciled and are not, as reported, travelling toward the same goal. He said he had reason to believe that Strong had broken with Miss Yohe of his own volition and could not be urged to return to her.
 MT. Hedges declined to discuss the details of the settlement made with Miss Yohe, but said the total amount sum reported. It had been reported that the sum necessary to save Strong was close to $100,OOO.
 ''I refuse to comment on any of the actions l had professionally in this case" said MT. Hedges. "A sad incl dent that brought sorrow and distress to many through the unwise and un- necessary acts of thoughtless young man is closed'

ANCIENT
 TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
 in Modern Times.

An ancient method of poisoning criminals was to force them to swai- low quantities of bulls blood. Bulls blood is really no poison at all. Yet the prisoner usually died in agony, caused by the coagulation or harden ing of the bulls blood in the stom- ach. The pressure of this solid mass on the vital organs almost always re- suited fatally. t
 That's like indigestion. If your food doesn't digest it remains in a hard lump in the stomach. Gases form which crowd other organs, Many cases of supposed heart disease are due to indigestion.
 This trouble is removed by the use of such 8 preparation as Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure, wdich gives the stomach perfect rest by digesting what you eat without the stomach's aid. The food builds up the body. The rest restores the stomach to health. You don't have to diet, ,I l
 During the. last few years my stom- ach was in such condition that | couldn't retain the food I ate,n writes Henry Williams of Boonville, Mo. soTwo months ago commenced taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. A few bottles have cured me entirely can now eat and enjoy anything Iwant."

LaGs for Arkansas.

A late dispatch from Little Rock says: As the time for the biennial session of the Arkansas legislature approaches the mem- bers are beginning to make known their platforms, and the indications are that there will be the usual amount of bills for the regulation of all things earthly. There will be some very important legislation to demand the atten- ton of the lawmakers, among which will be the new state house, an enlarged insane asy lum, an anti trust law, the plac- ing of legislators on a salary instead of per diem as to be au- tnorized by the constitutional amendment, which will be adopt ed at the September election, and the old time favorites of the con solidation of election, the removal of the State University and the calling of a constitutional con- yentiOn.

MOVING SATISFACTORILY.
Maj. Drought We'll Pleased with
 Progress on His Shaft.

Everything is moving highly satisfactorily about the Drought mining shaft this week. One big shot goes in after another regu- larly and the way the rock is be- ing piled upon the dump is highly pleasing to all concerned.
 John Bay, the contractor, is a hustler after Maj. Drought's fan . cy and things do not only prog ress rapidly, but pleasantly as we'll.
 The end of this week will prob- ably see the contract for the first fifty feet completed, and it now appears that nothing can stand in the way of the shaft being sunk to the desired depth of 130 feet by the middle of December IL IlOC DoIOfo.
 A shot fired on Friday of last week, Maj. Drought declares to have produced the prettiest spec tacle he has seen in all his years of mining. There were about five feet of rock completely shivered by the shot and lifted clearly out of the hole, a large portion of the rock being thrown more than a hundred feet above the mouth of the shaft. Maj. Drought says he would have given most anything for a picture of the scene it pro- duced.
 Rocks are being constantly sent away by Maj. Drought for exam ination by chemists, and pr. Mo- hun, the specialist who is here from Washington, D. G., is kept busy examining these rocks as well as other specimens picked ur over the country, but what the findings are is a matter the people upon the outside have only to conjecture.

An Old Timer Heard From.

Grafton, Tex, July 2S, 1902.
 Editor TRIBUNE:-Through the kindness of some friend 1 have received copy of your paper, and when l read it 1 saw so many names that were familiar to me in the days of long ago, l decided that I would write this letter and tell your readers how that part of Carroll county where Green Forest now stands looked in 1868, thirty four years ago.
 The most noted place then was the spring which was located on the west side of a sasafras thicket. To the north of which lay a fine stretch of open country, known by the settlers for miles around as "Scotts Prairie. "'To the north- west was the log school house and south of it was the nice farm of Parson Wyatt.
 Yes, 1 remember some old timers. I know the Russells and the Norris boys. I remember the Phillips homestead and the tan yard on the branch. l also call to mind Uncle Billy Ward who had store and kept the post of- flee after the town was started.
 recall stroll that the Young blood boys, Jim Rush and 1 made upon the long mountain south of town and got above the clouds which we could see down over the valley below. When we came down there had fallen quite a big rain.
 Your country has made won derful advancement, l am sure, since you have gotten railroad.
 Some of you people up there will know who l am. There are some of your towns folks I knew in the happy days of long ago. There is where l spent my school days which were very few indeed Some of my schoolmates are there, some iii Texas, Colorado and other places, but very many have gone to the land beyond.
 Very truly yours, J. l.. WILLIAMS.

Welcoming Newcomers.

There IS to be seen Tn most every farming community tide turning countryward, says the Farmers Guide. Capital is seek ing land and prices are advanc- ing. This change has been a long time coming, but it is a welcome one to those who have most of their earthly possessions tied up in lands. In many instances it is the man of means from the city that is reaching out for a home for his family and perhaps him. self when he is able to give up business. The majority of busi- ness men in cities are country born and bred, and when they begin to feel independent so far as this worlds goods go they long for a country retreat where they can spend some of the money they have accumulated.
 Every man of means who buys land for a stock or fruit farm, or even for a home is benefit to the whole neighborhood into which he moves and should meet with a hearty welcome. He is always liberal employer of labor both in making needed improvements and in cultivating the land. He is always a liberal buyer of i'm proved stock; in fact, he is apt to start in with the very best strains and breeds the country affords and when he has produced a sur- plus he is able to supply those around him with better stock at cheaper figures than they have ever been able to buy before. This is one of the greatest benefits a community receives from the newcomer who is full-handed.
 The man who buys a farm in any neighborhood and then spends two or three times as much money as the land has cost in improving it, in building new houses and barns and laying out nice drives and lawns helps to in- crease the value of all the farms about. It may not make other lands more productive, it is true, but looks count for a whole lot when you want to sell, and your place is adjacent to one that has been built up and made valuable, you cannot only sell more readi- ly, but at better prices.
 The moneyed man not only does this, but he brings new en- ergy into a community and his example is worth a great deal. He is ardent in his new calling, as a matter of course, and keeps posted as to the best methods to bring the best results. The farm CT and his family are benefited socially, perhaps by the new corners. it helps to knock off some of the rough corners to rub against people that may have had better educational advantages than we, and they are always willing to exchange whatever they may possess in this partic- ular for some of the more practi- cal ideas of the experienced farm CT, and which he gladly gives when called upon. We need more capital in the country and should never lose an opportunity to induce it to be brought into our respective neighborhoods. It's a case where we can afford to give a good deal, knowing that the re- turns will richly compensate us for all outlays made.
