A Wrong View of the Circus.

The general Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
which met in Dallas, included "cir-
cuses in the list of worldly amuse-
ments that the church membership
should not indulge in"
If ci1cuses ever were of evil infu-
ence that day has passed and for
years nothing against purity and
morality has been connected with
such exhibitions. So this action Of
the General Conference was certainly
based upon an erroneous idea of the
character of circGses of the present
day. We have no idea any attention
will be paid to this regulation by a
majority of the MethOdists. If young
people are properly trained and in
structed, there is no need for such
restraining rules. Their own sense OF
propriety will compel them to act SO
as to bring no reproach upon their
church or themselves.

vonne Women Will Try to Reform Young
Men.

The young women Of the town OF
Fremont, Neb, have an organization
which, if lived up to rigidly, is apt
to do great deal of good; more
possibly than great many dry and
wildly sermons could accomplish.
The purpose of the girls club IN
short is to boycott the bad yonng
men. The girls pledge themselves
that they will not keep company
with or receive attentions from any
man who is not a total abstalner
from the following vices: Lying,
swearing, stealing, late hours or bad
company, gambling, drinking and
smoking. The club has committees
whose duties are to investigate the
young men of the town and keep a
record of their habits, so far as 1t
may be possible to ascertain them.
Every young man will have a rating
which will be bettered or lowered as
the circumstances justify. The black
sheep are to be boycotted completely
They must become good or 60 with
ont sweethearts and wives.

SPECULATING IN SEATS.
1t will Cost Money to See the Corona
ton Procession.

London, April 2S.-Permanent resi-
efforts being made by the city for the
coronation. There is scarcely a street
through which the procession will pass,
but has not been torn up.
The newspapers, both here and in
America, are full of misstatements
concerning the cost of seats to view
the coronation professions and as to
what the hotels will charge visitors.
Spectators and those having seats TO
sell are giving the impression that
there is tremendous demand on the
part of rich Americans and other for
eigners, who are said to be paying any
price asked in order TO see the show.
Ridiculous statements as to the prices
paid for certain windows or seats in
Piccadilly or elsewhere have been CON
stantIy published. Seats in the best
positions. in Piccadilly the most
sought-after positions, could yesterday
be had for from. eighty to twenty gui-
meas, according to the row. This was
for the first days procession. For the
second day the prices asked were from
three to seven guineas. In Pall Mall,
where the buildings are mostly clubs
and very rev WlnuoWs are 10 le', the
prices are slightly higher. For the sec
ond days procession along the Strand,
seats cost four to seven guineas. At
st. Paul four huge stands will be erect
ed and the prices are from three to sew
en- guineas. On the south side of the
river the best seats cost five to seven
guineas
The hotel question, however, is less
encouraging for the intending visitors
The managers of the Cecil, Carlton, Sa-
voy and Berkley, all i--said yesterday
that they did not have single room

BOARDS SUSTAIN sToNAKER.
Not Guilty of Trying to Extort Money
From Prisoners.

Denver, April 2S.-The formal report
ence L. Stonaker of the state board of
pardons from the charges preferred by
convicts and others, was submitted
yesterday. 1t follows:
Denver. Colo, April "a, 1902.
'To His EXcellency, James b. Orman,
Governor of Colorado:
''Sir-Upon your personal request,
made to the president of the State
Board of Charities and Correction and
made subseqent to the filing of certain
charges against C. l.. Stonaker, which
charges We're accompanied by the atfi-
davits furnished by one Kenneth NJ.
Laurie, an inquiry was made by the
members of our board, in conjunction
with the state board of pardons,
Two sessions We're held at the state
penitentiary at Canon City, on Sunday
afternoon and evening, April 10, 1902,
at which twenty-five persons were ex-
amined under oath.
Adjourned sessions of this inquiry
were held in the Senate chamber at
the state capitol, on Wednesday after
noon and evening, April 10th, and on
Saturday evening, April 18th. In all
AoTty BtTsons were tSHiuthetr

made to secure full and complete in
formation from all persons having
knowledge of any fact bearing upcu
his investigation. \ full and complete
stensgraphic report was made, and IL
is submitted, along with the papers in
this case.
Although every opportunity was
publicly given to any person or persons
to appear during the sessions of the
joint boards to present further charges
or statements reh2cting upon the OIL
cial conduct of @. l.. Stonaker, we find
that the charges preferred against him,
of receiving or attempting to extort
money from prisoners or others have
not in any respect been sustained, and,
in our Judgment, nothing adduced In
the evidence reflects upon his official
honesty.

does SO much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that pei Ne
have found that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
instance;

my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative
Compound for long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be without it at any cost.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON-
FISCATED IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of ST. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number Of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity
OF stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock. and
dumped it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods. to use
It Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysts. but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health of the people is i'm
portant, cannot make a chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten TO
twenty cents for pound can, or
that some prize-like a spoon or
glass. or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der OF established name and cnarac-
ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades. the
alum danger will, 1t is hoped. finally
be driven from our homes.

Members Suffer From Terribly In
tense Cold

Letters have been received in Lon
don from Harry De Windt, leader Of
the expedition which is attempting to
make its way overland from Paris to
New York, dated Verkhoyansk, East
Siberia, at the end of February. In
spite of the forebodings of the officials
of Yakutsk, who strongly urged Mr..
De Windt not to continue his journey,
saying the conditions were worse this
year than ever. the expedition reached
Nerkhoyansk, 600 miles north of Yak
utsk, February 2Sth
The members of the expedition had
a terrible experience while crossing
the Verkhoyansk mountains. The cold

push on 1,500 miles to East cape, on

news of the expedition will be its ar
rival in the United States via the Beh-
