A SWEET BREATH.

the stomach is out of order. There
is no remedy in the world equal to
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for curing
indigestion, dyspepsia and all

JOSEPH FOLK.

Like those who passed through the furnace
On whose garments was no touch of fame;
Folks name is on the lips of the people,
While his foot rests on the ladder of fame
And now that he is getting started
There is no telling wher he will stop:
For the country needs men of his stamp.
And there is room at the ladders top.
While lights shone bright at banquet,
On him the winds of censure blew cold;
But little he cares for sights
And can never be bought with gold.
Keeps hewing true to the line.
Letting chips fall where they may"
And you needn't try to scare him
For it seems he has come to stay.
And the olden days of chivalry
Can boast of no drawer Knight.
For he has the moral courage
To do what he thinks is right.
If the people now forsake him;
If they leave him in the lurch:
We know God is in his heaven"
But tell US, who is in the church,
Contributed.

AFTERMAT

AFTERMATH.
After the flood at Kansas City
that place finds itself in this condi-
ton:
No water.
No fire protection.
No light.
Little street car service.
Little food in reserve.
Millions of dollars loss.
Not much mail.
Few telegraph wires.
An overwhelming demand for
peace guardians, boats, rescue par
ties, money, sanitary arrangements,
supplies of all kinds.
Houses for refugees.
Clothes, bedding, medicines, a
resumption of paralyzed business
as soon as water will permit, for
the commerce of the town is at a
standstill.
StoGky the old ones were
destroyed.
Railroad bridges, foot bridges
and water works bridges.
Railroad tracks, communication
with the outside world.
Food for horses-hay, corn and
oats in the city being all gone.
The Kansas City flood has prob
ably settled the location question
of Kansas City's new union depot.
The present union depot contained
seven feet of water; the other bot
tom location was covered about as
deep; the river front proposed site
was flooded. Now, let the railroads
be good, and the union depot COM
pany, also. and build a nice, new
union depot where it ought to be,
out at Twenty-second street and
Grand avenue.
The map of Kansas City will be
changed as result of the recent
food. 1t seems to us that the
wholesalers will certainly forsake
the west bottoms. The stock yards
will probably be rebuilt on the old
site, but we can't believe that build
ings worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars will be built where a
flood has been. We believe the new
union depot and wholesale district
will go to the south part of the city.

SPOKANE IS PATRIOTIC

Sunday it will not be celebrated so
generally as If it fell upon some
other day.
1t is interesting to note that the
observance of this day was not delay
cd until after the death of Washing

faction of receiving the congratula-
tons of his fellow citizens many
times upon the return OF his birth

ington's birthday practically took the
place of the birthday OF the various
crowned heads of Great Britain.
which had always been celebrated
with great pomp during colonial
times.
Upon the establishment of indie

were cast aside and the birthday of
Washington naturally became one of
the rVAt conspicuous in the calendar
of AMERICAN holidays.

TERROR READY
FOR ANOTHER OUTBREAK

nodded this policy. Before the courts
return from Hsianfu, and Immediate
ly after their return to Peking. many
edicts were promulgated. promising
an end of the anti-foreign policy and
ordering reforms and the establish
ment Of educational institutions.
Even then the astute officials declar-
ed that the edicts were issued to
blind foreigners, and were never in
tended for home consumption.
The year past has proved this. No
reform has been instituted anywhere,
but, on the contrary. the officials have
of old. Tung Flu Hsiang, the Kansu
general. has kept his command and
been well supplied with money. Prince
Tung has been living with his father
in-law, in Alaskan Mongolia, and both
he and his chief lieutenant, Prince
Len, have been drilling Monaghan
troops for the uprising.
"And, although Pu Chun. the son
of Prince Tuan. who had been named
as the heir apparent in January. 1900,
was by decree cashiered before the
return of the court, he has since been
