Quick lunch" is one of the common
est of city signs The sign doesn't say
a healthy lunch of good food-the
character of the food apparently is not
considered. It's just quick lunch, -
eat and get away. Is it any wonder
that the stomach breaks down? Food
is thrown at it, sloppy, indigestible and
innutritious food, very often, and the
stomach has to do the best it can.
Normally there should be no need for
medical assistance for the stomach But
the average method of life is abnormal
and while this continues there will
always be demand for DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is the
one medicine which can be relied on to
cure diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t is
not cure-all. 1t is medicine designed
for the stomach, and to cure through
the stomach remote diseases which have
their cause in the arrangement of the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
system. 1t cures when all else fails.

The man who wrote the most real
istic and enduring stories of early life in
the western mining camps, Bret Harte,
and whose name has been almost a
household word in this country for many
years, passed away Tuesday night in
England where he has been living for
the last few years. A poor express
messenger in the gold hills, newspaper
writer, short story writer, and editor of
the Overland Monthly, he became
known all over the world and had the
satisfaction of seeing his stories from
which the greatest part of his fame was
derived, translated into various Ian

der the American flag that democrats
themselves will be glad to have it for
gotten that they ever proposed that
the United States should relinquish h
its sovereignty and remit the islands
to a condition of anarchy. The trou
Dle with the democratic party is tina it

is forever trying to reverse the de-
crees of Providence. 1t it would stand
in with the Almighty once in awhile

the REIMBURSEMENT of American SOW
ereignty in the Philippines is fighting
the stars in their courses, says the In
dianapolis journal.
With the unstatesmanliie and fan
tastic democratic plan of dealing with
the Philippines plan that assumes
the inability of the United States to
carry through a work to which it has
put its hand and that implies the SUI
periority of Filipino to American meth
ods-with this abortive essay at con-
structive craftsmanship compare the
republican plan of suppressing insur-
rection, asserting American sover-
eighty, extending civil government, es-
tablishing schools and famiiarizing
the people with the blessings of consti
tutional liberty. All of the best peo-
pie in the islands are now in full sym
pathy with the United States, and
there is reason to believe that long be-
fore the democratic convention meets
in 1904 the last vestige of the insur-
rection will have disappeared. BY that
time the American people would as
soon think of giving up Alaska on Ha-
wall as the Philippines, and what Mr..
Watterson now thinks paramount is

AN APPEAL.
Will Try TO Raise $5,OOO,OOO for Re-
lief Of ROcr women and Children.

Chicago, April 10.-The Gov. Yates
Boer relief fund committee yesterday
issued the following appeal to the
public: THE entire population of
the two South African republics at
the beginning of the war was less
than one-tcnth that of the popula-
tion of Cook county, Ill. This hand
fu4 of people have for 30 months been
at war with soldiers gathered from
all over the world by Great Britain.
For more than one year the women
and children have been here in re-
concentrate camps, being thus de-
prived of all means of self-support.
They are now totally dependent.
One-haIf of the children are dead,
but there is still time to help the
other half. The mortality amongst
the women has also been frightful.
I'VE desire to collect $4,000
checks and drafts of one dollar each,
from all parts of the United States,
payable to Theodore Roosevelt, to be
presented to him as a petition for
such aid as he may be able to render
these people, and as a practical and
beneficnt demonstration of the sym
pathy of the people of America for
hese reconcentrado camp sufferers.
These checks and drafts should be
sent to Peter Van Nlissingen. 172

kansas, with the full cooperation of
Jones. At the same time, Jones was
one of the round cotton bale combna-
ton. composed of consolidation of
business interests, with many plants
throughout the south. and so conduct
ed that competition in its particular
line is driven to the wall. Jones has
been trying to make the democrats
believe that his particular trust is an
innocent business expansion, and that,
if Objectionable, it ought to be par
doned because the Globe-Democrat eX-
posed it. The democrats of Arkansas
do not see it in that light. They con-
denim a senator who runs with the
hounds and holds with the hares. State
pride must have secured some votes
for Jones as the chairman of the dem
ocratic national committee, but his du
plicity in regard to trusts is the rock
that wrecked him.
Crooked politicians often raise hue
and cry against the agencies by which
the truth about them is made known,
but the people are not the plaything
they imagine. Partisan bigotry is not,
as Jones supposed, so strong in Ar
kansas that the people will condone
double dealing. This form of political
hypocrisy is worked to the limit by
leading democrats in Missouri. They
try to meet damaging fact by cpl
thets bestowed upon the Globe-Demo-
crat for printing it. Democratic or
ators in Missouri wait for a round of
applause when they denounce the jour
nal that has laid bare their record of
government by the ring for the ring.
They may get the superficial approval
expected, but the silent verdict at the
ballot box will be different, as Jones
has discovered in Arkansas. The truth
will prevail. Jones felt so secure in
the assumed blind partisanship of ..is
party in his own state that he thought
he could safely go into the trusts
against which he thundered on the
stump. Served him right" will be
the Judgment Of the country.

A GIGANTIC TRUST.
The Hardware JObbing Inter
eSts Combine.
VIII Have a Capital of fSI20,OOO,OO0-
General Headquarters TO be in
St. LOuIs--LocaI Concerns
TO Make Their Own
Selling Prices.

New York, April 10.-Authoritative
announcement of consolidation of
the great hardware jobbing inter-
ests of the country in combination
capitalized at $12O,0O0,0O0 is made by
the Iron Age in it's issue to-day. The
consolidation embraces the Simmons
Hardware CO., of st. Louis; Bindley
Hardware Co., of Pittsburg; William
Bingham Co., of Cleveland; Supplee
Hardware Co., of Philadelphia, and
46 other houses representing nearly
every important trade center of the
country. Negotiations are still pend
ing with other houses, and it is eX-
pected that there will be further ac-
cessions to the number already en-
rolled in the combination.
The Iron Age says: THE organi-
cation not being technically com
pleted, there has been no formal
choice of officers. The financing of
the company is attended to by Moore
d Schley, of New York, and George b.
Hill & Co., of Pittsburg, Pa. 1t is in
tended to incorporate under the laws
of New Jersey with a capital of $780,
0,000-$40,00 900 preferred and
$S0,000,0O0 common stock. The gen
eral headquarters for buying and
selling and transportation of goods
will be in St. Louis. The eastern
headquarters will be in New York
City.
The principle of home rule will be
recognized in connection with the To-
cal houses, who will make their own
selling prices, except SO far as this
may interfere with the buying de-
partment or the expressed wishes Of
the manufacturers, which it will be
the policy of the company to respect.
Each house will be held responsible
for the results of 1ts business and if
these are not satisfactory, the house
will be closed up.
"As at present constituted. it is
estimated by the company that they
embrace something like two-thirds
of the distributing efficiency of the
jobbing trade of the country in the
hardware line. They are content
that the other third should remain
competitors, as it is not intended to
monopolize the jobbing business"

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Terrible Tragedy I'm "a WashIn gton
State Home.

Everett, WASH, April 1O.-A shock
ing tragedy occurred last evening"
when Mrs. Shepard X. Bucey, wife of
the assistant cashier of the American
national bank, killed her husband,
their 4-year-old son and herself in a
fit of insanity. In the parlor lay the
form of Mrs. Bucey, shot through
the heart. BY her side was her T.
year-old boy, Eugene, with bullet
hole through his head. In the dining
room adjoining the parlor was Mr..
Bucey's body with two bullet holes
behind the left ear. The most re-
liable account of the tragedy is told
by a servant, Elizabeth McNulty, who
said:
81 was in the kitchen when Mrs.
Bucey fired the first shot. started in,
but seeing her approaching with
smoking revolver | returned to the
kitchen, where Mr.. Bucey's mother
was with the 1S-months-old baby.
With the second shot the old lady
started into the room, when Mrs.
Bucey ran up to her husband and
fired two shots through his head.
His mother cried out, oh, she has
killed my boy She then killed her
self. There was no cause which |
can imagine that would cause the
tragedy"

A VERY POOR ISSUE.
Mr. Wattersou's View of the Mais
Question for COnside deratiOn iu
the Campaign of 1901.

Editor Watterson wired his paper
from Washington that the plan of deal
ing with the Philippines reported by
the democrats of the senate commit
tee undoubtedly lays down the line
on which the democratic party Will
stand and fight the next presidential
battle" That is as the Journal pre-
dicted. "Here or hereabouts," says
Mr.. Watterson, 1--WE have the para
mount issue for 1904" This view, how
ever, is subject to the important reser-
vation suggested by the Journal that
the democrats may be compelled by
force of circumstances to abandon the
plan before 1904. IT is the misfortune
of democratic craftsmanship that 1T
has no capacity for original action. Be
ing built to float with the tide, it is apt
to be left high and dry when the tide
goes out. 1t never sails the high seas
and makes from port to port, as re-
publican craftsmanship does. In 1864,
when the democrats declared in their
national platform that the war for the
union was failure and demanded the
immediate cessation of hostilities, they
did not anticipate that decisive union
victories would render their declara-
tion obsolete and absurd before the
election. The chances are a hundred
to one that before the democratic ma
tional convention meets in 1904 the
Philippine problem will have been so
far solved by republican statesman
ship and the Filipinos will have be-

DEFEAT OF SENATOR JONES.
Political Downfall of the Chairman
of the Democratic National
Committee.

Some facts originally presented by
the Globe-Democrat have led to the de-
feat in his own state of Senator James
X. Jones, of Arkansas. Mr.. Jones has
been condemned in general primary
of democrat tic voters in the state a ma
jority having been given his competi-
tor, eX-Gov. James Il. Clarke. Senator
Jones political downfall is the more
notable because he is the chairman of
the democratic national committee
and held this position throughout the
two Bryan campaigns. But opposition
to Bryan, or lurch toward the reor-
ganization of the democratic party, is
not the cause of the reputation of
Jones in Arkansas. He played false
on the trust question. While he was
director and stockholder in the round
cotton bale monopolistic company he
was among the foremost in denouncing
the trust system. The Globe-Demo-
crat gave the plain facts in the case.
Senator Jones denied them and re
sorted to abuse of this paper as the
trump card of his campaign for an
other term as senator. But the demo-
Gratis of Arkansas examined the
charges, perceived their truth and the
double dealing of Jones, and have ac-
cordingly retired him as public serv-
ant, states the st. Louis GlobeDemo-
craI.
No democratic platform in any
state has been more radically opposed
to trusts than those adopted in Ar

A subtle cause OF unhaPPiness is
inability to give ones self wholly to
the worl; in hand.
When we are in
circumstances that
call for light heartedness, and for
an occasion, our brows are 'clouded
with business perpleXities, or some
unsolved problem starts up and EN-.
crosses our attention. Now you can
never make yourself an agreeable
companion, or be happy yourself in
that double-minded fashion. There
will always be u dark cloud lowering
just over your head, and you will
feel the gloom of it, and others will
see the shadow. What is the use of
going away on pleasure jaunt if
you have to take your cares and
troubles with you? You might just
as well nurse them at home if you
are bound to go into the nursing
business. The peculiar thing about
'hN9C pt'IIN, WIN tdl never hullC
enter whole-heartedly into the pleas
ures of life, is that they are not usu-
ally very efficient in their serious
tasks. When they should be all at
tention to an important matter their
wits are apt to be wool-gathering on
some pleasure excursion. The truth
is that we should resolutely give our
selves up to whatever we are doing;
put all there is of us into the busi-
ness in hand. Enter into the spirit
of it, and when we are through
with it enter into the spirit of some
thing else 1t is a matter of will, of
self-control The man who says
that he cannot do it has not learned
how to run the human machine.

Hens

People who live in cities ard see
the evidences of their enormous trade
u seldom realize the
and manufact Il e
extent and impor-
tance of the industries and commerce
that are carried on outside of the
cities. And, after all, the towns are
but small factors in the worlds work
1t is the farmer declares the Brook
lyn Eagle, who is the support of ev-
erything. He does not cut a figure
in the social or official world, but he
is the worlds mainstay, none the
less. But while we have a notion of
the value of the grain crop, and of
hay and potatoes, it is startling to
discover the value of poultry. Walk
ing and ovate the hens of this nation
added last year more than $2S1 ,OO0,-
900 to the national resources. We
paid four dollars apiece, every man,
woman and child of us, for fowls ol
eggs, or both, in a twelyemonth. Con-
sidering how many keep hens and do
not have to buy, this really means a
larger figure, for the folks who do
not keep them. And these Industrious
birds laid 10000, 100000 eggs during
the working season, and they 0ccu-
pied nearly 5,740,0O0 farms. Would
anyone have supposed there were so
many farms and eggs? 1t all proves
what an Industrious nation This is,
for even the hens share in the fierce
energy of the populace, and do, their
share toward warmly setting forth
