A Substitute for Rubber.

After experimenting for several
years a substitute for rubber has
been perfected. 1t is produced, prin-
cipally from asphalt, and can be used
in the manufacture of rubber goods,
linoleum, etc. A substitute of this
kind will probably answer as well as
the genuine article. but in medicine it
has been proven, time and time again,
that all substitutes are dangerous.
Therefore, beware of them when pur-
chasing Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the celebrated family medicine for
stomach, liver and kidney ills, by no
ticing that our private stamp over
the neck of the bottle is unbroken.
The Bitters positively cures nausea,
headache, dizziness, dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, constipation. nervousness and
general weakness. Be sure to give il
trial. For sale by all druggists and
general dealers.

Gov. Yates will be a candidate for
second term in his present position.
So he declared at meeting of few
of his friends at the executive man
sion at Springfield, previous TO his de-
parture on his European trip. It was
decided that a larger meeting of Mr..
Yates friends and supporters should
be held. probably in July, when the
public announcement of his candidacy
will be made. Judging from the way
the preliminary announcement is re-
ceived the governor may by the time
another month rolls round decide that
further reference to the subject may
just as we'll be omitted.

OH. KISHINEFF.

o, Kishineff! Sad spectacle of crime,
Scarce paralIeled in any land or CLINE,
Since the Son of Man on Gallilean
shore
The message. Peace on earth" to
mankind bore.
o. IsraeIs son! in this thy sorrow
deep,
The worlds heart mourns and we do
with thee weep;
Nor for thee alone, but Russia's chill
dren. too,
Who. in their hate, revile and torture
you.
Cursed be the crown that sanctions
such to be
In this age of light, of love and lib
erty.
o, Kishineff! Why didst thou thus
pursue
And vengeance wreak upon thy broth
er jew;
His life, his kin, his home and all de-
stroy,
And in thy raid such heinous means
employ? a, .,l
Why savagely, like wanton beasts of
prey,
His innocent babes and aged parents
Stay;
And by thy deeds of awful sin and
shame
Stamp such a blot upon thy country's
name?
o, Kishineff! The works of thy cruel
hand
Raise protests loud from every land.
Stop! thou demon of rapacious lust.
Or holy wrath shall smite thee in the
dust,
And the crowned sceptre of Russias
broad domain
The sword of Justice soon shall rent
in twain
Then, Gods warning voice do solemn
~ heed,
And the sons of. men who with thee
plead;
No longer thy unholy war pursue,
For naught, against the chastised
blameless Jew.
o, Kishineff! May golden morning
dawn
Der thy broad land, the people and
the crown,
When strife shall cease and with fair
Freedoms bliss
The God of love thy native brow shall
kiss.
When jew and Gentle shall in union
live,
And to the world the blest assurance
give,
That evermore unbroken peace shall
be
The boon of nations and humanity.

ton to be leader or who is always
looking out for his own political fu-
ture. Leadership is not secured in
that way, neither can one insure his
political position in future years by
centering his thoughts upon his own
interests. Nominal leadership in
party is determined by the action of
the convention, but leadership in
thought and in political action is en-
tirely independent of caucuses and
conventions. He leads who proposes
the wisest measures and defends them
with the strongest argument. No one
can see the truth who constantly
gazes at himself. Those find truth
who seek for it-who seek not casu-
ally or carelessly, but earnestly and
constantly. The best evidence that
one can give of his faith in a truth is
to be willing TO suffer for it,
In answer to the suggestion of the
Republican that advocates of the Chi
cago and Kansas City platforms shall
not insist on reaffirmation of these
platforms and the injection of the
principles enunciated therein, and
which are Objectionable to certain
democrats, into the national party.
Mr.. Bryan says:
Why should they pretend a confes-
sion of error when they believe that
they were right? Why pretend that
the issue is past, When it is still upon
us and must remain? Why ignore, for
the sake of a few offices. a fierce con-
fiict between money and manhood?
nl1 10 hn taf
that a real or even nominal victory
can be won by sacrifice of the peo-
pies interest to the cold, cruel and
merciless dictation of monopolists
and magnates, in whom love of money
has eXtinguished the feeling of broth
erhood?"
Why. indeed, should there be eX-
pressed or implied admission by Bry-
an democrats that they were wrong
when they believe themselves to be
right? What evidence is there that
they were wrong, that their conten-
tiOns are not pertinent today? In the
absence of any evidence, they are
right in adhering tenaciously TO the
principles for which they fought in
1896 and again in 1900. The issue is
between money ana manhood, be-
tween equality and special privilege.
Mr.. Bryan expresses great truth
when he says that mo man is in po-
sitiOn to do his duty who is controlled
by the ambition to be a leader or who
is always looking out for his own po-
litical future" There is selfshness
in every man, developed in some in
larger meas re thanainsotherS That
selfishness. consciously 1or uncon-
sciously. influences the Judgment of
men. We can not serve two masters
principle and peff. We must sacri-
fee one the other TO DO either Jus
tice. If we attempt to serve both we
are handicapped. The refOrmer who
has accomplished something has done
so at expense to himself. Devotion to
principle. to the right, against all
odds, involves sacrifice.

Floods Of Twenty Years.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: The floods
that have desolated so many districts
in Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas are
now Threatening cities in Missouri
and in states farther south. No one
can measure the damage by flood I'M
til the floods have subsidized.
In 1887 the floods in the Mississippi
counting from the north to the south,
extending over a period of seventy
days, and involved 10000 square miles
of territory. In 1883 there was again
heavy floods in the Ohio and Illinois
valleys. marked by the destruction of
Shawneetown, H.. April 3. \ wave
of water 20 feet deep swept over the
town, causing the loss of 60 lives and
destroying property to the value of
$3.50, 10000
The next year, 1889, came the Johns
town food, in which 2.142 lives were
lost and property TO the value of $1O,-
100000 destroyed. In the same year
Washington was flooded from the
Potomac. and there were floods on
the lower Mississippi and in Texas,
continuing through July. The Johns
town food came May 81. the Potomac
food in June. and the Mississippi flood
in July, but in August there were
cloudbursts in the Kanawha and 9th
er valleys in West Virginia almost as
destructive as the Texas floods.
In May, 1892, the heavy floods on
he Mississippi and Missouri destroyed
property in and about ST. Louis to the
value of $11,0OO,00O. In the same
month the Illinois valley was scene
of desolation. and on the lower Mis-
sissippi the crops of 10000 farmers
were swept awaS.
The heaviest -fAods in the Ohio val
ley, however, came in 1883 and 1884
In 1888. $4,000 people in Ohio and
Pennsylvania were left homeless. In
| February, 1884, the flood water in
the Ohio at Cincinnati reached the
highest point on record and there was
widespread destruction.
This heavy flood came in the late
winter, when the situation was made
more distressing to those whose
homes were swept away. This record
however, was eclipsed by the floods in
December, 1896, in the Chippewa val
lex, Wisconsin, ,Xhere thousands suf-
fered from EXPOSURE and property to
the value of $1,O00,00O was destroyed.
While most of the great disasters on
our rivers have come in the spring,
the storm that overwhelmed Calves
ton in 1900 came on the Sth of Sep
TENDER. The waters of the gulf were
blown up into the city. destroying
5000 lives. and property to the value
OF S3O,OO0,O00, including 1886 houses.
1t was the unexpected that happen
ed at Galveston, just as it was the
wholly unexpected that happened at
Johnstown. 1t is useless to reason
with storms or food precedents in
mind Galveston was overwhelmed
by a great wave from the gulf. while
Xenia, Ohio, remote from a river or
gulf, was struck in 1886 by water

Postofrioe in a Woodahed.

There is but little doubt at the pres
ent time that the Doddsville postoffice
will be discontinued, and that in a
short time, says the Industry (Mc-
Donough) Enterprise. The lady, Mrs.
Stanley, who was recommended some
months ago for the position. refused
TO have the Office and since that time
it has remained in PenningtOn's store,
he being the assistant postmaster, J..
w. Wheeler being the postmaster. A
difficulty arose between the two in
regard to a registered letter and Pen
nington refused to allow the mail to
enter his store thus throwing it back
on Mr.. Wheeler, who took it to his
house. Last week being rainy the
patrons could not help but ruin a nice
carpet for Mrs. Wheeler. who raised
vigorous protest at having her bed
room ruined for the paltry sum of $4
per month, and the office was removed
TO the woodshed, where it still re-
mains. Mr.. Wheeler has sent his resig-
nation for the second time and has
laid the matter fully before the off
Gals at Washington, who, no doubt,
will discontinue the Office at once.

Mr.. Bryan and Leadership.

denounced Imperialism. The editor of
the Republican is concerned about

Mr.. Bryan. The sincerity. ability and
honesty of the Nebraskan are conced-

policies which have been rejected"

his own political future and expresses
these psychological truths:

Kinn'c I little .ioke

Here is one of the many stories
which show that there is not mon.
arch in. Europe Tho is as playful or as
fond of a joke as old King Christian OF
Denmark.
He was recently strolling through
the park near the royal castle OF Bern
storf when his a .tention was attracted
toward Il child who was making des-
perate efforts to reach the bell near
the principal gate, his intention evil
dently being to ring it and then run
away and enjoy from safe distance
the discontinue OF the gatekeeper.
For a few moments the King watched
him. and then, with smile on his
face, went up to him and said:
Let me do it, my boy, and promise
you we'll scare the old fellow"
With these words he pulled the bell
half dozen times, and in another
minute had run across the grass and
hidden himself behind tree. Hardly
had he concealed himself before the
gatekeepcr appeared. and the express
sion of surprise on he uid mans face
was so strong that the King could
hardly refrain from bursting out into
loud laughter.
