Grand Trunk ecure Space at
SDOrtsmen's Show.


The Grand Trunk Railway Company has
completed arrangements for an extensive
exhibition in connection with the second
cago from February 8 until February %.
large building admirably suited for the pur-
pose. The exposition will probably be the
finest that has ever taken place in America,
excelling even that held in Philadelphia dur
ing last December. The Grand Trunk ex-
hibit will include the collection of large
photographs Of scenes throughout the sum
mer resort districts situated on its line,
including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays,
Magnetawan River, 10000 Islands of the
Georgian Bay, Kawartha Lakes, and Lakes
Simcoe and Couchiching, as well as views on
the Portland division, combining land and
water scapes, scenes in the White Noun
tains, and surf bathing scenes taken on the
Maine sea coast.
The space to be occupied by the Grand
Trunk will be about 1000 square feet, and
will be one of the most attractive and most
interesting exhibits at the show. The Grand
Trunk has expended thousands of dollars
in bringing before the people of the United
States and foreign countries the beauties of
the Canadian districts. In the districts en-
braced in what is known as "the Highlands
of Ontario" nearly 10000 tourists were car
rled during the summer months, the ma
Jority of whom were from the United States.
These districts have become so popular that
each year finds the hotel accommodation in
creasing and modern and up-to-date struc-
lures are being erected to accommodate the
ever increasing travel that is being brought
into Canada.

EX-CONGRESSMAN PEARCE.
Twelfth Missouri District Sue
cumbs to Pneumonia.

St. Louis, Feb. Former Con-
Charles E. Pearce died in
his apartments at the Planters hotel,
Thursday afternoon, of p%leuro-pneu-
monia. Mr.. Pearce was IS years old,
and servedin the house of representa-
tives from the Twelfth district of
Missouri in the Fifty-tifth and the
Fifty-sixth congresses.
For more than a year the eX-con.
gresham had been a sufferer from
pulmonary trouble, and, principally
on that account, retired from poll
tics. Last October he made a trip to
Colorado in search of health and re-
turned after a prolonged stay appa-.

About three weeks ago he was at

arrived in time to be at his brothers
side when he died.

MASTERFUL S~ELFISHNESS.
Promoters of the Ship Subsidy Bill
Are Acting for Their own
Exclusive Benefit,

All manner of crafty special pleading
is being practiced by the promoters
of the ship-subsidy bill to create the
impression in the public mind that the
proposed subsidy payments will CON
stitute a wise and honest use of tax
payers money for the purpose of up
building the American merchant ma
rlne and increasing general prosperity.
The promoters in question, whose in
fuence is powerful in Washington, are
a group of multimillionaires directly
interested in certain great shipping
corporations already enjoying a vir-
tual monopoly of the fed in which
they do business. They are men who
have never in their lives been noted
for a special regard for the general
welfare. They have looked out for
their W interests, however, with sig
nal success. A masterful selfishness
has been the basis of their rise to
power, states the st. Louis Republic.
Not to save their lives can these
promoters of the sh~ip-subsidy bill
SllON INV VI NiltlS tldll measure Will
encourage general shipbuilding, ship
owning or engagement in the ocean
freight-carrying business. Not to
save their lives can they conceal the
plain truth that the ship-subsidy bill
will operate for the exclusive benefit
of their own corporations. The intent,
purpose and certain effect of the bill
are as plain as day. And yet that meas
ure proposes to place upon the Ameri-
can people an additional burden of
millions of dollars annually for an I'M
limited term of years, this tremendous
tax burden going in the form of sub
sides to the corporations whose rep
resentatives are working for the pas
sage of the ship-subsidy bill.
The Fifty-seventh congress will in
all probability enact this evil meas
ure into law. This action cannot be
prevented. But the American people
can hold to a severe accounting the
party responsible for such legislation.
The truth concerning this Measure con-
stitutes a terrible arraignment of the
republican majority in congress. The
American people know the truth. The
consequent accounting in the congress
sional campaigns of this year and in
the presidential campaign of 1904
| should result in the removal of the re-
publican party from power in the gov
eminent.

The juvenile son Of an army officer made
a strange mixture of the history OF George
Washington the other day. A visitor called
during the absence of his parents, and to
entertain the children and instill a lesson of
manly honor and patriotism told them the
famous stories of the liberty bell and the
cherry tree. The scion of the soldier was
much interested, but the details got badly
twisted in his head. When his father re-
turned home he was told of the fine story
the visitor had told about the Father of his
Country. Washington must have been a
wonderful man, said the boy. "He smashed
the liberty bell witt his little hatchet and
his father whipped him with a cherry tree
for telling a lie" 1t took paterfamilias some
time to straighten things out.-Washington

WILLIAM M. EDWARDS.
Candidate for City Treasurer of
Chickasha.

Five years ago Mr.. Edwards
came to Chckasha from Georgia.
and at once entered business. For
three years he was connected with
the Big Cash Store and was one
of lst most enterprising associ-
ates. He is member of the we'll
known dry goods firm of Gun
ningham Edwards & Boyd.
Notwithstanding his great busi-
ness interests Mr., Edwards has
found time to devote attention to
political affairs, and for the past
two years has held the office of
City Treasurer. Two years ago he
was elected to the office and
served his term. When his sue
cessor was elected and failed to
qualify, Mr.. Edwards continued
to hold the office. He comes now
before the people for election.
He is too well.known to need
one word of introduction. His
career in Chickasha as business
man and an official makes it plain
that he is the man for the office of
City Treasurer. 1t was wise
choice at the primaries, and that
choice should be UNANIMOUSLY en-
dorsed on election day.

the civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmOthers never thought
of using anything else for indi-
gestiOn or billiousness, Doctors
were scarce and they seldom heard
of appendicitis, nervous prostrat-

August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
nndigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and shat is all they took
when feeling dull aud bad with
