Kingston, Island of st. Vincent, b. ".
L., Tuesday, May 11.-No person has been
able to approach within eight miles of
new crater of the soufreiere volcano. But,
judging from what can be seen from =
considerable distance. the old lake at
the summit of the mountain has disap-
peared. The numerous assures in the
mountains sides continue to throw out
vapor. and the subterranean murmurngs
and tremblingS indicate continued unrest.
During the afternoon of Monday a dense
volume OF steam and smoke rose from
the volcano and the whole island was
covered by peculiar mist The inhala-
ton of noxious vapors here is increasing
the spread of sickness.
Starvation threatens the poorer classes
of the afflicted district.
Nearly every remaining negro hut in
the arb country contains decayed bodies
and the horrible stencil is driving peo-
pie away. Mutilated bodies are tied with
ropes and dragged to the trenches where
they are buried. Sometimes bodies are
cIemated.
The local government is feeding and
sheltering about 5000 refugees.

If the consumptive could

it would be some encourage
ment.
SCOTS Emulsion at least
gives tired nature a breathing
spell. The nourishment and
strength obtained from SCOTS
Emulsion are a great relief to
the exhausted system.
This treatment alone often
enables the consumptive to
gather force enough to throw
off the disease altogether.

Destructive Fire.

Griffith & Morrow's store, To- cated about five miles southwest of this place on White river, at what is commonly known as the Head of the Bottom," was total ly destroyed by fire Sunday night about 12 o'clock. Loss, about S4. 100; insurance, $1, 800.
 It is thought to have been the work of some one who had robbed the store and then set fire to the building in an attempt to cover up the crime.
 These gentlemen seem to be pe- culiarly unfortunate. Their store at this place was burned in the burn-out last Spring, entailing q clear loss of something like $6,- GOO and now follows the destruc- tion of another store in which they have lost about $2,300,
 They will rebuild immediately and have already began placing material on the ground for q new building.

 LEGISLATIVE MATERIAL.

1t is a deplorable fact that in- experienced young lawyers, poli- ticians without an office and men with a political ax to grind or a personal hate to satiate are always ready to go to the legislature. It is equally deplorable that good business men and active lawyers refuse to go. The candidates are elected and the people begin the biennial cursing match when the grafters and schemers begin to handle the lawmakers for purposes entirely foreign to the duties that the members were sworn to dis charge. If we send a useless dele. gation to the legislature the better element and business element must assume n large portion of the blame. Laboring men have q right to representation, but if la Dor does not support a good can didate labor must assume its share of the responsibility for the fail ure to accomplish anything. What Independence county should do is to elect as members of the legisla- ture good lawyers, successful busi- ness men, clear headed laboring men or successful farmers, moved by no clique or faction, but stand ing for all that can be made to re- suit in the betterment of conditions in Independence county and the state in general.

NEW JERSEY AND TRUSTS

IN IT. " q LhoJ A1Nb 1bO1 lJ'
 In the calendar year 1901 new corporations to the number of 2,- 347 were formed in New Jersey. The number included trusts" of all grades and character. Since January 1 of 1902 the additional number of 1,394 have been form ed and applications are coming in daily. These, of course, are in addition to the large number crea- ted within the past ten years, since trusts have become the vogue in this country.
 The creation of these new cor porations in the year 1901 brought the State of New Jersey $687, 438. : S7 in initial fees. The assessme nt of taxes on trusts for that year amounted to $2,315,5 in addi- tion. The business of granting charters to corporations is exceed ingIy profitable to New Jersey. It pays the expenses of the State and more. In 1901 the receipts from new charters granted; the tax on those prior charters, the tax on railroad corporations added to- gether paid the ordinary expenses of the state, put S1 ,000, ,000 to the credit of the school fund, gave S1, 100000 to various municipal funds and put something by way of surplus in the states old stock ing under the hearth. No wonder New Jersey thinks the trust is q good thing.
