Mrs Timothy Reed, wife of our we'll
known marble cutter, died last Friday, the
31st ult She had been in poor health for
several years past but was not thought to
be seriously i'll until few days prior to her
death.
In all probability there was no better
known man in this section of the county
than Henry Lolo, who passed away on the
31st ult Mr.. L. was German, and To-
Gated here about fifty years ago. He was a
wheelwright by trade, and was considered
a first-class mechanic. Several years ago
he led the M. E. choir, being natural
musician, in fact, he was real genius. He
had been student all his life, was an
authority on the scriptures, had also been a
great reader of history and was natural
wit. One of his his greatest delights was
to impart knowledge to those less informed
Of late years he has lived alone, owing to
some arrangement between himself and
Mrs. L. He leaves large family of adult
children, the eldest being Edw. Lolo, the
leader of our band. The funeral took place
from the residence of the above named on
Tuesday, the 18th inst. 1t has been say
ing for years that had Henry LoIo been
surrounded differently, and had circum-
stances been different, he might have been
man Of considerable influence, as there is
no doubt but what he was, in point of in
tellect, the peer of any man in Monroe
township.

God Give Us Men.

The Fifty-seventh Congress has been long
enough in session to reveal its tendencies
and to outline its record.
Looking at the situation as it is in Wash
ington to-day, thoughtful Americans see the
House attempting to discriminate against
ourFilipino wards as we never Disseminated
against them when they were utterly for
eign to us.
They see Cuba, whose bonds to Spain we
dissolved, menaced with complete CONNER
cial separation from US, and with CONNER
cial isolation which even the Madrid gov
eminent did not impose upon her. They
see the aspiration of the American people
for an isthmian canal that will at the same
time facilitate their commercessand strength
en- their national defense, juggled, paltered
WITH and tossed about as if it were mer-
est trife of the day.
And all this they have seen done at the
behest of three or four special interests
whose part in the nation is but tiny frac-
tion of the whole.
On the other hand, what do the people
see as the only constructive piece of legis-
lation likely to be accomplished by this
Congress? The ship subsidy bill-a meas
ure designed and promoted chiefly to take
the peoples money and put it in the pock-
cts of special interests which are we'll able
to take care of themselves and to add to the
profits of the two most powerful industrial
combinations of the age.
This is the record Of the majority-the
Republican maiority-in the Fifty-seventh
Congress up to the present. This is the
record which, if not speedily altered, the
Republican party must carry into the Con-
gressional elections few months hence, and
which President Roosevelt and his party
must defend, if they can, in the general
election two years hence.
God give us men," prayed great
American poet in dark hour of the nation
life. The Republican party and the nation,
as they contemplate the record now making
by the Fifty seventh Congress, may well
re-echo that prayer.

A Mathematics Fangs.

You often hear of rendering a rattle
snake harmless by pulling out its
fangs. Then, again, you read of cases
where a serpent so treated has bitten
persons fatally. The reason for this is
that poisonous snake is deprived only
temporarily Of it's venomous powers by
the extraction of the two incisors in
the upper jaw, at the bases of which
are the poison glands. OF course you
know that the fangs are hollow, so
that when the animal strikes the veL-
ON gushes through them into the flesh
of the person struck. Now. by draw
ing the two teeth the snake may be
rendered harmless for a few weeks,
but after a short time the two teeth
just behind the original fangs move up
and take their places, making connec-
ton with the poison glands and thus
becoming poison fangs as good and eff
fectiye as the old ones.

The question of Chinese exclusion is still
being considered by the Senate Committee
on immigration and ex-Secretary of State
John w. Foster and General O. o. Howard
have both testified in opposition to the re-
enactment of the law, while Commissioner
of immigration Powderly has appeared in
its support. Speaking on the subject yes
terday, Senator Dubois, of Idaho, said he
was unalterably opposed to the admission
Of the Chinese. 'sThey can never be assimi-
lated, :" he said, for the simple reason that
they do not want to be. The most favor
able laws would never induce the Chinese
in any considerable numbers to become
American citizens. Their one aim is to
save little money and return home All
that they make they send home as fast as
they can spare it. Entirely aside from the
labor aspect we are opposed to having
among us a race of men who are UNIV Hing
to become citizens and who shirk the re-
sponsibilities Of jury duty and of suffrage.
Such men can never have the best interests
of this country at heart and that alone, |
believe to be sufficient to warrant the
position we take against their admission to
the country"

Horses and. Cold.

Colonel Sir I. H. Holdich. wri,ing in
1.-THE Indian Borderland" of the terrible
storms and wind and snow which over
take the traveller on the high passes of
the Herat mountains. remarks on the
superior power of the horse to with
stand cold In one such storm lover
twenty men perished and many mules.
All the dogs with the caravan were
dead, but, so far as | can remember,
no horses. Yet some of the chargers of
the Eleventh Bengal lancers got slowly
on their legs the day after the blizzard
literally sheeted with ice as an ironclad
S sheeted with steel" 1t is a fact worth
noting that the horse will stand cold
where mule or a camel will not and
where a dog will die.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you havea rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

MEXICO MAY GO
TO A GOLD BASIS
Foreign Capitalists Said to .Ss Plan
ming to Aid Diaz Government in
Making the Change.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. flowing to
the depreciation of silver and the high
gold premium various large contracts
are held back, and some xave been
suspended. 1t is said the steel work
for the new National theater will not
be finally ordered until it is seen how
silver is going. Many houses that had
contracted for machinery or other arti-
cles at an exchange twenty-five points
lower than the present rate will lose
money in complying. Many business
men feel that it is only a question of
time when the country will go on a
gold basis. No importer can make
calculations regarding future price3
and this uncertainty prevents the full
est measure of business activS1y here.
The present prosperity is due large
ly to the fact that the impetus received
during the past two years in the direc-
ton of every building and construc-
ton of port works, mining, utilization
of electric power, ETC., was so powerful
that the country must go ahead. But
it is confidently asserted that great
foreign capitalists, who have put mil
lions of dollars into Mexico, will not
be satisfied long with the present
monetary conditions. They will, it is
believed, assist the government in
carrying forward some well matured
plan of transferring all business to
gold basis.

BARTHOLIN MYSTERY
BATTLES THE POLICE
Police of Chicago Have No c!ews They
Consider of value-Murderer

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.--At midnight the
police declared that they had not
single reliable clue to the whereabouts
of William Bartholin, who is wanted
for the killing of his mother and of
Minnie Mitchell During the day Bar
tholin was reported from the following
places, and in nearly every instance
the Identification was positive: st.
Joseph, Mich; Kenosha, Wis; Elk
hart Ind; Doris, Iowa, and Guthrie,
Okla. The police are of the opinion
that Bartholin is still in Chicago and
that If he has left he has gone to In
dian Territory where he has friends.
The idea that Bartholin is being aid
ed by fraternal society in his escape
was shattered tonight. Bartholin had
been a member of the Mutual Protec-
ton association, but was expelled July
l. The officers of the organization en-
phatically denied that they had had
anything to do with Bartholin and de-
clared they would not protect him
under any circumstances, We're he still
a member. Thompson, the boarder at
the Bartholin house, was again put
through the sweating" process today,
but nothing additional was learned
from him. He maintained that the
story told by him when first arrested
was the truth and that he knew moth

cHILDHooD's HAPPY DREAMS.

In the days half forgotten she and I
Barefooted innocents, played together.
We rolled In the dust when the earth was
And made mud pies in the soggy
weather;
We climbed the trees in the deep old
And shook the walnuts in rafting show
erS;
Picked grapes and pluns for our MONDAY
And thought it heaven, that lne of
ours.
With never tear to dim our eyes,
with never a cloud to blur our skies.
We talked Of the days when we'd grow
ed up"
Wed be man and wife in our coy cot
We would sip our bliss from its sweetest
cup,
And eat from the same love dish of
Shed cook me meals that god would
eat,
While l would hustle for golden shekels.
Ana then would gaze in her face so
1noughs terribly spangled with nut
brown freckles-
And our eyes would meet and orr souls
To mingle in loves first childish dream.
AS the years passed on and we older
college,
We would try to kindle loves fame anew.
In the restingl spells in our search for
knowledge;
But she grew less "chummy,' less full of
play
Into staid @Paulyne" grew the simple
Polly,
And she read on her graduation day
thoughtful essay upon the folly
Or girls assuming the role of wife
instead of a nobler sphere in life
/ meet her now on the busy street
OF the capital Colorado city,
cold, proud dame, with the face once
sweet,
Now hardened by politics. Oh, the pity!
me light of affection never pla~s
In the eyes that used to think so cum
ming,
But with hatred they seem to fairly blaze
When they meet with mine, for we
now are running
For the same fat Office, she and T.
Ana we never speak as we pass by.
