better and soon overlook his faults.
If you spend day after day looking
strictly after your business, and
never take any. interest in public
enterprises, you will shut yourself
up from the outside world, become
a stranger to those around you,
lose sight of and take no interest in
what is becoming of your town and
soon you will notice that it is on the
Decline. and you will cuss your
neighbors for it, and they will abuse
you, and as long as the matter thus
drifts along, you will find that they
are bettered in no way.

WHAT THE PLODDERS AC.
COMPLISH.

If we were to examine list Of
the men who have left their marks
on the world, we should find that
as rule, it is not composed on
those who were brilliant in youth,
or who gave great promise at the
outset of their careers, but rather
of the prodding young men who
if they have not dazzled by their
brilliancy, have had the power Of a
days work in them, who could
stay by task until it was done,
and well done; who have had grit,
persistence, common sense and
honesty.
It's the steady exercise Of these
ordinary, homely virtues, united
with. average ability, rather than
deceptive display or more snowy
qualities in youth, that enables
q man to achieve greatly and hon
orably. So, if we were to attempt
to make a forecast of the successful
men of the future, we should not
look for them among the ranks Of
the smart" boys, those who think
they "knoW it ALL and are anxious
to win by short routes-O. S

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning yell
low. His skin slowly changed color, also
his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His
malady was Yellow Jauhdice. He was
treated by the best doctors, but without
benefit. Then he was advised to try
Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach
and Liver remedy, and he writes: "After
taking two bottles was wholly cured"

HOW TO MAKE TOWNS.

The Mississippi Journal makes
the following sensible remarks On
the above subject;
To be live up-to-date, progress
sive business town and take adj
vantage of every new and good
thing that comes along, the mer-
chants and business men generally
must elevate and always have a
friendly feeling for one another.
Because one man has different
opinions politically and religiously
from you is no reason you should
hold yourself aloof from him. Re-
member always that his friendship is
worth more to you than his opin-
ions. One man alone cannot do
anything if another half oppose
him. 1t may be a bitter pill to pull
in the same harness with your
neighbor up the street, but nine to
one if you pull with him awhile you
will find out that he is better
man than you thought for, and i
you both are pulling to accomplish
the same good end in this way you
will quicker become acquainted

deterrent effect Upon the other Sc
cret thieves therein. They are
more cautious and many perhaps
lie low for brief time, but not for
long. It is a singular but true offici-
al fact that once a nan begins to
steal money letters he seldom vol
unfairly stops, and we have had
men confess that they have been at
this nefarious business for years
and would have remained at it as
long as they were in the service
but for their arrest. 1t is an easy
way to make money for the time
being to the clerk or carrier whose
salary does not meet his expenses.
He becomes emboldened by the
confidence in the cleverness to Sc
crete the money letters, forgetful
that with each report of theft the
efforts of the inspectors are redoub-
led to entrap him, and the closer
are drawn the meshes of the net
slowly but surely being entwined
around him. Very often the guilty
man is positively known to the in
spectors for months before they can
catch him redhanded, the thief in
the meantime believing himself un-
detected. Rockford Star.

HOW TO BUILD UP A TOWN.

The following good advice is
taken from an exchange, and, if
lived up to by the inhabitants,
would be a great benefit to any
village:
Praise it.
Talk about it.
Help to improve it.
Speak we'll about it.
Patronize home merchants.
Elect good men to the local Of
fees.
Give them moral support when
in office.
Induce desirable settlers to To-
cate in it.
Let CLONE Trade" be the watch
word.
Urge public benefits and improve
ments at all times.
Don't join an unjust criticism of
we'll and acting officials.
Show by your support that you
are progressive and appreciative.
Assist in promoting every enter
prise for the whole community.
Don'tfolloW. calamity shouters
keep in the front rank of progress
and advancement.
Remember that every dollar in
vested in permanent Improvements
is that much on interest.
Speak we'll of the pubIic-spirited
citizens, and show by your zeal
that you are worthy to be one of
them.
Cheer on the men who 60 in for
improvements. Your portion of the
cost will be nothing only what is
just.
Every town and city has its "ca-
lamity of howlers." They ore OPP
posed to every. sort of improve
ments. They kick at the aldermen,
the county commissioners, and at
every public-spirited person that is
doing his best for the advancement
of the town and county. They
kick if this or that is done, and
they kick if it is not done. They
make thor own lives burden.
Better quit. Join the crowd of
pushing. progressive citizens.
Whoop up your town and surround
ing country. You will be far hap
pier and your life will be blessing

EDWARD GOING TO SEA.

London, July 15.-The hour of the
kings departure today from Buck
ingham palace for Portsmouth, where
he will board the royal yacht Vic
toria and Albert, has been announced.
He will be taken to the train in a
special ambulance carriage, with
blue blinds and in the strictest pri-
vacy.
The appearance Of the ambulance
is like one of the omnibusses used for
carrying court officials. 1t passed in
front of the palace at noon yesterday
and was not distinguishable from the
omnibusses. A half dozen sailors
from the royal yacht will carry the
king to and from the ambulance.
The queen and Princesses Victoria
and Maude will accompany his maj
esty.
A bulletin will be issued this even
ing when the king is aboard the
yacht.

OSBORNE IDENTIFIED.
He is Hiatt, From Oklahoma-The
Principal in Three Murders
He Will fOppose Extra
ditiOn.

Norfolk, Va, July 14.-Sherifff
Heiaser, of Saltwater, Oklahoma,
arrived here today and identified a
carpenter resident here under the
name of Charles f. Osborne as
Charles T. Hiatt, and wishes to con-
vey him to Saltwater for trial on
the charge of shooting his wife to
death there. The Oklahoma tragedy
occurred about the same Ftime
the Cherokee strip was opened. Hiatt
was indicted for numbering AL. Cook,
and Mrs. Hiatt was summoned to
testify against her husband. At 2
o'clock the next morning Hiatt shot
her through the head with a rifle
and then fed.
On June 81 about 3 o'clock in the
morning Hiatt or Osborne, aroused
his neighbors here, saying that a
burglar had shot his wife dead as
she lay in bed beside him. He pro-
fessed to be grief-crazed, was arrest
ed but acquitted of the charge of
numbering his wife. The mysteri-
Gus affair was widely printed, finally
reaching Oklahoma and leading to
the Identification of Osborne as
Hiatt, the COW puncher, accused of
killing his wife in the same manner
in which his wife here met her
death.
The Norfolk wife formerly resided
at Greensboro, n. c., was insured
for $15, 900, the policies being pay
able to her husband. The accused is
preparing to fight extradition, and it
appears as though he may be first
tried here on the charge of murder
ing his Norfolk wife.

PRISONER RELEASED.
Telegram Received From Judge
Shaw To Release Thomas
Sparnell.

Salisbury, n, c., July 14-Sheriff
Julian received a telegram at 5
o'clock this afternoon from Judge
Shaw, who returned to Greensboro
on the o'clock train, authorizing
him to release Thomas SparneH
from custody. It is believed that
Judge Shaw, after considering all
the testimony, decided that the evil
dence against Sparnell was not suf-
ficient to warrant his detention.
Mr.. l.. A. PEBBLES, reputable cit
izen of Salisbury, swore that Spar
nell was sitting on the court house
steps with him when the mob en-
tered the Jail yard, and that they re-
manned together until after the
lynching party was three blocks be-
yond the Jail. It is believed here
now that Sparnell's release is the be
ginning of the end of the investiga-
ton.

A CRASH IN VENICE.
The Bell Tower of ST. Marks Col
lapsed and Fell.

Venice, Italy, July 1.-THE Cam
panile (detatched bell tower) of st.
Marks church, SO metres high, COL
lapsed at 1O:4O this morning and fell
with a great crash into the piazza.
It is now a heap of ruins piled to a
height of 100 feet. In falling it car
ried away the Sansovino Loggetta
and the library of the royal palace.
There were no fatalities, but few
persons were injured. The disaster
caused an immense sensation. The
town and communical councils have
been summoned to meet this even
ing.
A little before the collapse a noise
of falling stones within the bell tow
er warned the shop-keepers and
workmen and tourists of the impend-
ing disaster and all fled for their
lives.
Venetians were seen in the streets
bemoaning the destruction of one of
the oldest art treasures in the king
dom. -Four of Sansovino's statutes
of Vsnitians mobiles were demolished
in the Sansovino Paul Veronese
painting was destroyed in the pal
ace. The wing of an angel from the
top Of the bell tower was thrown
down to the front door of the cathe-
dral, smashing the Bando column,
which was hurled 35 feet, just es-
Gaping the column supporting the
south angel Of the cathedral and thus
averting more serious disaster.
The fall of the tower produced a
thick red dust, which spread like a
hanging cloud over the city. This,
with the rumbling noise, startled the
inhabitants of the most remote sub
urbs. Thousands of soldiers and po-
lice aided in allayIng the panic.
The deputies of Venice have tele-
graphed to the government at Rome
for authorization to establish lot
terry to raise funds to rebuild the bell
tower.

Seattle, July 13.-Notwithstand-
ing the belief that Tracey is on the
verge of collapse, as the result of
buckshot wounds and illness result
ing from exposure in the wet brush,
he managed to keep hidden from the
officers today. This was especially
disappointing to the four sheriffs now
on his trail, as they had led him an
exhaustive chase up to last night.
The search will be continued with
renewed zeal.

The genuinely preeocious child is
very rare. Parents are seldom justi-
fed in attributing to their children
powers which are transcendent. The
vanity Of so doing would be harmless
in itself If It did not SOW q crop Of
terrible mistakes in the treatment Of
the child which tends to its bodily
and mental undoing. The signs OF
brain flag in a child, says DR.. Grace
Peckham Murray. in the August De
lineator, are easily read, and the
warnings should be needed at once.
Parents should ever be Watehful that
the growth Of the mind should not
be made at the expense Of the body,
and the body a. the expense Of the
mind. The child's mind is bound to
be active about something; that is Its
normal condition. The mischief comes
from overtaxing It with matters which
are beyond fits comprehension, or
Eorging It with impressions that at
best the child can only partially com
prehend.
