A,v", 80 lar AS the dresses go,
our ladies always dress we'll,
whether there is to be a confer
ence or not.
Finch Parties are all right
and can be found in any up- to-
date town where no conference
is to be held. This mental Her
cules dubs it as the great church
conference. For once he is right,
but did not intend it to convey
the magnitude of its greatness.
1t represents great church. 1t
represents godly men and wom-
en-. t represents broad views on
religious affairs. It condemns
sin, Icing, stealing and bearing
false witness, but it does not
condemn the game of Finch if
a fellow does not "tiinch other
peoples properly" SO if any
OF our visitors want to play
Finch they can do SO with the
sanction Of the best people here.
Now as to the combination of
pride, sin and christianity. First
pride and christianity go hand
in hand. A good christian is |
proud Of his church, proud Of
his good name, and proud to
meet with his brethren in a
great conference like we are
going to have here. Pride keeps
a man from doing things that
would make a heather chinese
blush with shame, and it also
keeps him from trying to pose
as a saint when everybody
knows he is a sinner vile. The
above combination does not suit
everybody. We know of some
who have. only one Of the com
binations and that is black sin
the sin Of playing the wolf in
Sleeps clothing.
When any one wants to get off
"Chcap John" wit, the best subject
to work on would be Ten Pin
Alley Or a baseball game, not
live church in a live town like Clio.
We have in our town as pure and
refined christian women as you will
find in the world, and whoever says
anything to the contrary will al
ways find foeman worthy of his
steel, whether the accusation is
made in the papers or on the stree is.
In regard to the male sinners Of
the combination named, they are in
hopeless minority, as the natives of
this town would never do as people
have done who rightfully belong
some where elsc-its needless for
me to say where. You will hear
from me again if necessary on this
line.

MADE A SUICIDE COMPACT.
Two Telephone Employees Buy Revo'-
vers Together and Kill Themselves.

Indianapolis, Oct. S.-After purchas-
ing reVoivers of the same pattern at
the same time and place and seeing
that they We're loaded properly by the
dealer, Marvin J. WEIGH and George
Williamson. two employees in the office
Of the Bell Telephone Company, ended
their lives last night in exactly the
same manner within three hours of
mystery, as neither young man is
known to have had any cause for the
act.
The men came here from Chicago
about a month ago where WEIGH was in
love with Il young woman whose par
entS opposed their union. So far as
his associates knew he was not de-
pressed and at his boarding house he
was a favorite on account of his jovial
disposition.
A week ago the young men began to
avoid the society Of their new-made
friends and stayed together almost
constantly after working hours. On Fri
day night they We're in consultation till
midnight and yesterday they visited II
hardware store and each purchased a
revolver. They made many inquiries
about the weapons and selected two of
the best on the recommendation of the
dealer.
After talking pleasantly with friends
at his boarding house Williamson went
to his room and a minute later placed
the pistol to his left temple and fired,
the ball entering his brain and causing
instant death. At midnight Welch was
in his room reading and an hour later
he rose from his chair placed the pis-
tol to his left temple and as it exploded
he fell to the floor dead. 1t is believed
that the compact to kill themselves
was made a week ago and that the de-
tails We're agreed upon at the meeting,
on Friday night.

PHILIPPINE COINAGE APPROVED.
The War Department Gives 1t Official
Endorsement.

washington, Oct. S.-The new Phil
ippine coinage TODAY received the Off
cial approval Of the War Department.
A cable dispatch was sent to General
Wade, IN command of the United States
forces IN the Philippines, after having
received the approval Of Secretary ROOT
III LONDON, directing him ito encourage
III all proper ways the use and clrcula-
ton OF the new currency" General
Wade Is TO cause contracts for services
and supplies to be made in Philippine
pesos in all practicable cases, to the eX-
clusion of 'MeXicans' and other forms
of local exchange. The new coinage is
to be received by disbursing officers of
the army IN payment for subsistence
and other stores solo TO officers and en-
listed men at the rate authorized by
law, without any cost of exchange.
Army paymaSters are to keep on hand
such amounts of the new coinage as are
necessary to enable them to give to
officers and enlisted men such portions
of their pay as they may desire in the
new coinage. The instructions, how
ever. are not to be taken as authorizing
any change in the present methods of
accounting for public moneys in the
hands of disbursing officers of the
United States.
This cable dispatch is in reply to q
direct question to the War Department
from General Wade. In view of the
fact that the new coinage is a stable
medium of exchange, differing in this
respect from Mexican and other silver
coinage of various kinds now in circu-
lation, source of profit is lost to GER
tain money changers in the islands,
and an effort is being made by them to
make it as hard as possible to put the
new coins into use. Secretary Root s
prompt and emphatic Endorsement of
the pesos leaves no doubt that the
United States is behind the Philippine
Commission in its efforts 10 make the
new coinage the universal circulating
medium Of the islands.
A request is to be made to the Navy
Department to issue 4 similar order to
that sent TO General Wade today. Here
tofore the Navy Department has trans
acted all its contract work in the is
lands with "Mexicans." Officers of the
department in Washington. however
heartily agree with the Wade order,
and there is every indication that a
similar ruling will be made in that
branch of the service as soon as the
question is officially presented.
Up to the present time there has been
coined and shipped to the Philippines
about $13, 100000 of the new money. The
coinage is still going on. the estimate
being that it will take something like
$50 100000 to furnish the proper amount
of the medium of exchange.

YOU WILL BE ALL SMILES AGAIN
Forget Your Stomach and You'll Have
Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DO 1T.

If there is ore thing more than all
others that will give a man a forlorn
and friendess appearance and make
him morbid and cranky and disagree
able, that thing is dyspepsia. 1t
makes one forget his friends and be
come mOrosa and irritable He is 50
wrapped up in his own misery that he
is inconsderate Of every one else. Re
lieVed Of this terrible and depressing
aiment he again becomes a good fell
low and a man among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the suf-
ferers of this terrible disease. The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement.
They are, above all, a natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess, and they actually do the di-
gestive work of the stomach and enable
that organ to rest ana recuperate and
become sound and we'll. They act in q
mild. natural manner and cause no dis
turbance in the digestive organs. They
prevent any fermentation of the food
which causes sour stomach. In fact,
under their influence the subject for
gets that he has stomach and his re-
sulting cheerfulness presents great
contrast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold annually and
they are but in the dawn of their popu-
larity. Every mail brings letters of
thanksgiving from grateful ones who
have been cured of this terrible disease.
The following is one of hundreds re-.
ceived each week.
Rev. J. r. Hoag of Wymore, Neb.,
writes: For six years 1 have been
