STATE HOUSE.
What it Costs to Keep Dogs
in Some Towns.
Big Corporation Business Done During
the Month Of February.
Treasurer Smith Has Paid Another
Bunch CT Floating Debt.

The record of corporation business
done under the general law for the
month of February is far beyond that
of any previous month since the crea-
ton Of the law. In January there were
50 new companies formed. This WAS i
large number. being greatly in excess
Il any former months; but in February
there We're % more articles of incor-
poration filed than in January. In
other words. fer the past month there
were 1GS certificates filed at the office
of the secretary of State. Altogether
fer the year 1902, up to March LIST, there
have been 1SS companies organized. If
this average of nearly 100 companies a
month keeps up during the rest of the
year, 1902 will be a record breaker.
/ state Treasurer Smith in his annual
report gives the amounts received from
the various towns of the State during
the year 1901 for dog licenses and the

FEDERATION OF THE WORLD. Cavalry Baptist Minister Says This
 Will Be the Outcome.

New York, June 16.-Dr McArthur. preaching in the Cavalry Baptist church. has declared the ushering in of the mil- lenium already has been partly accomp- lished. He predicted the federation in the near future of all the nations on earth on the basis of the golden rule. and with this country and Great Britain as the dominant factors.
 These are days he said, "of gigan- tic enterprises of large mergers and of worldwide undertakings. Many great trusts doubtless are mercenary. but there may be an altruistic and spiritual trust. There may be an imperialism of love which one day may dominate the world God Is raising up a love trust to offset the 'self-trusts' which are menacing our civilization.
 "On a basis of the golden rule a fed eration of the whole world will one day be accomplished We are approaching such a federation today"

SECRETLY AND QUIETLY. Coffee Slowly and Steadily Polsons
 Some Persons.

There Is no doubt that coffee secretly and quietly causes an immense amount of misery to the human race. but in the majority of cases the person does not suspect the cause of the trouble.
 A Virginia lady had an interesting ex- pertinent with coffee poison. She says: For about five years was troubled with indigestion, weak stomach and palpita- tion of the heart so bad that at times I would fall and have to be carried into the house. Finally I began to have spasms and suffered untold misery. I tried all kinds of patent medicines and different doctors, only to get temporary relief.
 I finally gave up all hope of getting well. My stomach was in such condition that everything but stale bread would throw me into spasms. I nearly starved myself but never suspected that coffee was the cause of all the trouble. nor did I have any idea what the cause was.
 One day father told me he had been reading how Postum Food Coffee helped so many people who were sick from cof- fee drinking and he urged me to leave of coffee and try Postum. I said. Oh, father, cannot try 1t and do not believe 1t would do me any good but he per- suaded me to try a package.
 The first making tasted so fiat that 1t made me half sick but I determined to give 1t a fair trial. SO read the directions carefully and found that it must be boiled at least fifteen minutes. Well I boiled 1t 25 minutes then added some good cream and I tell you 1t was delicious. I like 1t better than the ordinary coffee. and. of course, stick to it.
 Well I have been using 1t since the 18th of July now quite two months. I have gained about 25 pounds. l gained six pounds in 13 weeks. and can eat any thing I want and all that I want. My stomach never hurts me. l have gained strength until now I can do my own work and go to church every Sunday.
 People say, You are looking so well. what kind of medicine are you taking% l tell them have quit all kinds of medi- cine and also coffee and am only using Postum Coffee.
 You may be sure I will recommend it and will guarantee cure where the per- son will boil 1t long enough and drink enough of 1t. would do without a meal for the sake of one cup of Postum.
 I could tell lot more but space will not permit. You are at liberty to print this letter and my name also for the ben eft of others" Mrs. A. T. Brown. Central Station. W. Va

TAFT,s MISSION A SUCCESS.
Vatican Agrees to Settlement of the
 Frar Question.

Rome. June 16.-The complete suc- cess of the negotiations between Judge Taft, governor of the Philippines and the Vatican on the subject of the friar lands in those islands, appears assured, four out of five cardinals, composing the subcommittee of cardinals favoring the governors proposals. Cardinal Stein- huber. a Jesuit, opposes them.
 After the completion of the negotia- tlons an acute conflict Is expected be- tween the Vatican officials and the Fili- pino religious orders regarding the dis position of the money which the United States will pay for the lands. The Vati- can considers tha. the money ought to be given to the propaganda or society of cardinals having the care and oversight of foreign missions.

WILL LEAVE SILVER OUT.
Illinois Democrats Will Have Nothing
 to Say About Bryan.

Springfield H., June 16.-The Demo- cratic State convention, to be held tomor- row. promises to be one of the most con- servative conventions held in this State in recent years. Among the delegates al- ready on the ground there is strong dis position to steer wide of sensationalism. It Is practically certain that there will be nothing in the platform favoring either W. J. Bryan or free silver. Among the men opposed to declaration on these points are some men who have been in the past enthusiastic partisans of Bryan.
 The convention will declare hotly against government by injunction" and 1t is expected that the platform will con- tain ringing provision to that effect.

The idea may prevail that ''Old Hickory" Is costly. It Is not. In fact it Is inexpensive, and, when you consider the style and con- fort and durability-it never wears out-it is as cheap as you can buy. There is also a distinc- tiveness about "Old Hickory" that breathes of history and TO- nance, of ante bellum days.
